Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 377
Wuwei City, Liangzhou.

Li Chuyun looked at the messenger in front of him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Pan Luozhi's emissary is the most respected Pumo monk in his clan.

Monk Pumo had a kind face, fat and fat, like Maitreya Buddha, clasped his hands together and said: "Being an enemy of the Central Plains is due to the ambition of arresting Jiashi, not the intention of the tribes in Liangzhou. To save the power of heaven, to break Captured Jiashi was defeated and died. The chief of our tribe has now replaced Captured Jiashi as the chief of the tribes in Liangzhou. The chief has always admired the Central Plains, and is willing to lead all the tribes in Liangzhou to submit to the Celestial Dynasty and be dispatched by Jiedu..."

Monk Pumo said that.

The chiefs of Long Xu, Niu Tianjin, and A Yudan were all overjoyed. They never expected that this battle of betting on the luck of the clan would be won so cleanly, and the victory was sealed in just a few days.

They hated Jia Shi for arresting him so much that he died of anger.

Great pleasure.

I am even more in awe of Li Chuyun.

A Yudan waved his fist excitedly and said: "Jiedu, in this way, Liangzhou is under our control, why don't we mobilize soldiers and horses to help the emperor seize the land of Hehuang?"

Seeing that the situation is good, A Yudan has completely turned to the Central Plains.

The merits of Liangzhou could not satisfy his appetite, and he had the idea of ​​attacking Hehuang.

Li Chuyun smiled lightly and said: "I have received the great leader's wishes. Being able to avoid military disasters is also a great thing for the common people in Liangzhou. Let's do this, the stability of Liangzhou is more important than everything else, and winter is coming. Pumo Mage, I trouble you to go back and report to the chief Ming, and ask him to disperse his troops and return to the tribes to resist the cold winter. If he wants to come and see this commander, he can come in person."

Monk Pumo looked calm, and said respectfully: "The poor monk takes orders!"

He didn't know Pan Luozhi's intentions, and really thought that Pan Luozhi really surrendered.

Seeing Li Chuyun's handling like this, A Yudan's expression changed slightly, he had already thought of the problem, and dared not say more.

Li Chuyun watched Monk Pumo leave.

After staying in Liangzhou for more than half a year, Li Chuyun has a certain understanding of the situation here.

Anyone can do this, except the late Zhezhu Jiashi or the current Pan Luozhi is unlikely.

This time the Central Plains re-occupied Liangzhou, and it was impossible to continue to govern according to the old system of Tubo.

This old place of the Han and Tang Dynasties should have the style of the old place of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

All the tribes in Liangzhou will be scattered and destroyed, living in cities, counties, and villages...

Even people engaged in animal husbandry must be de-tribalized.

This is the inevitable result.

This kind of situation has little effect on some small and medium-sized tribes and even ordinary tyrants. They don't have the strength to stand up in their hands.

Belonging to the Central Plains, transformed from a patriarch to a local official or general.It is true that power will be affected to a certain extent, but it is not a lot to get.

Equivalent exchange is not unacceptable.

But Pan Luozhi's level of power is not eligible for equivalent exchange.

Their status is equivalent to that of local princes, and they are the targets of direct suppression. Once they surrender, it is almost impossible to regain control of power.

The imperial court would not give him such a person too much power, and he might even be transferred to Bianjing to enjoy his blessings.

Pan Luozhi could not have imagined this kind of treatment.

Unless he was at the end of his life, Pan Luozhi would not easily accept breaking up his tribe, becoming a local general, or taking his salary to Bianjing to enjoy it.

Wealth is insignificant to those who have enjoyed the taste of power.

Li Chuyun didn't let the victory in front of him lose his eyes, knowing that Pan Luozhi was far from the end of the mountain.

The surrender at this moment is likely to have ulterior motives.

**********
Bianjing Palace.

"Good, good, good!"

Luo Youdu got Li Chuyun's battle report, got up excitedly, said three good words in a row, and said loudly: "[-] million breaks [-], Li Zhengyuan's battle is comparable to Zhang Wenyuan in the city of Hefei! The fight is really beautiful..."

Zhengyuan is Li Chuyun's character.

Wei Renpu of the Privy Council also couldn't help but admire: "Li Jiedu fought a wonderful battle, he played the prestige of the court, and directly stabilized the situation in Liangzhou."

Zhao Pu said with a cheeky face: "There are often thousands of miles of horses, but Bole does not often have them. Your Majesty has eyes like a torch, and he selected Li Jiedu from among the generals to take on this important task. I admire you..."

The corner of Luo Youdu's mouth was slightly raised, he ignored Zhao Pu, and continued to praise Li Chuyun without hesitation, saying: "It's more than that! The key is that after he won a big victory, he was not arrogant and was able to calmly analyze the situation."

Wei Renpu asked: "Your Majesty is referring to Pan Luozhi?"

"Of course it is him!" Luo Youdu said: "I have seen this person before, he is full of ambitions, and he is not someone who easily compromises."

In fact, it is because Pan Luozhi has played the trick of false surrender in history.

But he was dealing with Li Jiqian of the Dingnan Army.

Li Jiqian, who caused the Song Dynasty a headache, led his troops into Liangzhou, and was killed by Pan Luozhi's false surrender plan.

Pan Luozhi has great ambitions, and he will not be willing to hand over the power in his hands easily.

"In the name of the Privy Council, I will write the book and Li Chuyun, and let him stabilize Liangzhou. Longyou Hehuang will be in charge of the general of my court..."

This reached a certain level, and Luo Youdu already understood a truth.

It is better to seek stability than to seek speed.

More haste less speed.

Step by step slowly is the kingly way.

Especially the Hehuang and Liangzhou areas in Longyou at this moment, these places have been deeply influenced by Tubo culture.

The original hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties speaks Tubo language and uses Tubo script, which is a great shame.

Luo Youdu said with a straight face: "Compared with recovering Hehuang and Liangzhou in Longyou, I am more concerned about the governance of the two places. Most of the people in these two places have broken away from our traditional Chinese farming life. It spreads all over the country in the form of nomadic tribes. Each tribe governs independently and does not belong to each other. This situation must be rectified, and I need a civil servant with a strong wrist to be in charge of the administrative affairs of Longyou."

When he said this, there was a bit of murderous intent in his words.

In other places, Luo Youdu can take it slowly step by step, but not in the Lianglong area.

This is not only the main route of the Silk Road, but also the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the only way for commercial and cultural exchanges between the East and the West.

In such an important place, culture and language cannot be unified.

What is that called?
This is not negotiable.

At this time, Wang Pu recommended a person, saying: "I have one person to choose, it should be feasible!"

"Say it!"

Wang Pudao: "This man's surname is Lu, his name is Duan, and his style name is Yizhi. He is an official in Anci County, Youzhou. He is now an official residence in Zuolang and Zhishiguan. I know him and his brother Shangshu Zuocheng Lv Yuqing, and I have a certain understanding of Lu Duan. People understand the general situation, and they deal with things in a simple manner, but they are full of courage.”

Luo Youdu's eyes lit up, Lu Duan was a famous prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

"Be confused about small things, but not be confused about big things" is what he said.

This person does not show the mountains and does not show the water, but when it comes to the critical moment, his courage can be compared with Kou Zhun.

In history, the eunuch Wang Jien secretly connected Li Changling, the political adviser, Li Jixun, the commander in front of the palace, Hu Dan, the Zhizhigao, etc., and together with Taizong's wife, Queen Li, conspired to establish Taizong's eldest son, Zhao Yuanzuo, in an attempt to launch a coup.

Lu Duan helped Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng to the throne almost by himself.

Although Song Zhenzong is not a joke, Lu Duan's efforts to turn the tide at this critical moment are really beautiful.

Have courage and means.

"It's him!"

Luo Youdu made a final decision and said, "Order him to know the governor of Hezhou and see the results! As for the governor of Lanzhou, let Song Xiong go! I have no doubts about Song Xiong's ability."

Song Xiong had experience in this area.

The Khitan ruled Youzhou for decades and did a lot of cultural invasions.

Luo Youdu stayed in Youzhou to promote culture and education, and to correct Khitan's subtle thoughts.

Song Xiong started with books and spent more than a year with remarkable results.

Luo Youdu originally wanted to transfer him to the center, but now there is a shortage of people in Longyou who are in charge of culture and education.

He was the first thing that came to mind.

Governing Longyou requires not only toughness, but also softness. Lu Duan and Song Xiong may have a miraculous effect if they are strong and soft.

Wei Renpu said: "For Murong Yanzhao and Li Qianpu, do you have any special instructions from His Majesty?"

If not, he would directly issue an order from the Privy Council to make military deployments.

"No!" Luo Youdu replied firmly: "This marching battle requires adaptability. Let them play freely according to the battle situation. I am thousands of miles away, so I won't interfere."

Wei Renpu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Doesn't Murong Yanzhao need special instructions?"

A strategy for Longyou River Huangdi.

Luo Youdu's arrangement was to divide the troops into two groups, one to attack Lanzhou and the other to attack Hezhou.

Li Qianpu's journey went smoothly.

When Li Qianpu was arranged to be the governor of Weizhou, he knew what his purpose was.

For this reason, after Li Qianpu took office, he spread benevolent government. He was not only good to the people of Weizhou, but also to the surrounding Tubo people.

He recruited [-] soldiers from among these people, and used these [-] soldiers to attack Lanzhou City by surprise, and took Lanzhou down in one fell swoop.

And Murong Yanzhao encountered obstacles when attacking Hezhou.

Hezhou has been the political, economic and cultural link between the Central Plains and the Western Regions since ancient times.Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, counties, prefectures, and counties have been set up, and since the beacon smoke, the military strategists have fought for it, so it is called "Hehuang Town".

The powerful Zhangmi tribe in Hezhou has been operating in Hezhou for many years, and has deep contacts with the surrounding tribes, large and small.

For some reason, although Murong Yanzhao marched fast, he did not achieve miraculous results.

Hezhou had prepared in advance and blocked Murong Yanzhao from outside the city.

Murong Yanzhao had no siege equipment in his hands, so he was blocked under the city of Hezhou and had no obvious results.

Li Chuyun's achievements are terrible, and Li Qianpu's achievements are also extraordinary.

Only Murong Yanzhao had no effect.

Therefore, Wei Renpu asked a special question here.

Luo Youdu knows that sending generals is not as good as stimulating generals, but it is not a good thing to stimulate too much.

With Murong Yanzhao's temper, knowing the results of his juniors in Liangzhou and Lanzhou has already had the effect of stimulating him.

He smiled and shook his head and said: "No need, no doubt about employing people, no need for others, I appointed Murong Yanzhao as general, I believe he can fight this battle well. Just wait, I believe in my own vision, Murong Yanzhao will not will disappoint me."

Seeing that Luo Youdu trusted Murong Yanzhao so much, Wei Renpu naturally didn't say much.

　Thank you book friend Qin Shumoran for the hundred rewards!
