The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Anton Governor's Palace

Cheng Chuliang has already received Li Xiang's letter. This letter should have been sent a month ago. Now the alliance between the city-states there has been completed. The Tang Dynasty court has begun to set up local officials at all levels. This change It must be done at once.

When Li Xiang first led his troops to fight, he still adopted a puppet regime. Now he no longer needs that regime, mainly because the Tang Dynasty has become more powerful. If those puppet regimes are needed again, it would be a bit unfair. Unable to cope with the wars in the south and north over the years, Erhu carried out the most thorough reform from the beginning.

Although this lack of transition will bring various difficulties to our work, but then again, the difficulty is only in the initial stage. After you implement it in this way, it will be difficult later. It takes a long time to relax, so even if it is a little difficult at the beginning, Li Xiang thinks it is worth it.

Although the leaders of the city-states were unwilling, under the suppression of the Tang Dynasty army, they finally had no choice but to agree. They took their whole family and most of their gold and silver treasures with them, and under the escort of the Tang Dynasty army, they started to go. As for their territory and people, you don't need to worry about the distance from Chang'an City. We will take good care of it for you.

Cheng Chuliang did not have the time to take care of Vietnam's affairs, so he asked General Mo Lun to be called over. The main content of this was General Mo Lun's appointment and dismissal order, which removed General Mo Lun from all posts in the Western Region and was about to go to Annan. Protecting the government as General Annan.

"Why haven't you found anyone yet?"

Cheng Chuliang said somewhat depressedly that the order has been issued for a long time, but the area in the Western Region is really too big. General Mo Lun and his people are on the transportation line, and it is very likely that they will not be able to get through in two or three days, but He was so upset that he felt a little sorry for General Molun about this matter.

Although General Morun is a Gaochang general, his contribution to us is not small. Of course, he is also willing to stay in the Western Regions. However, this situation is no longer suitable. The Annan Protectorate also lacks a general. This is considered A small upgrade to General Moren, but people may not be willing to do so.

"General, don't be too anxious. The people in the morning have already rushed over six hundred miles away, but General Molun is more than a thousand miles away from us. It will take a few days at the earliest to get here."

Zhang Jiuli is dealing with some urgent official business. At this moment, this guy is still doing his old job, assisting Xiao Shougui in various parts of the Western Region, and at the same time serving as a staff general beside Cheng Chuliang. Of course, he is only doing the work of a staff general, and there is no staff general. Who makes this guy a guilty person, but he feels very satisfied with it.

Think about the things I did in Sichuan, which brought countless troubles to the local people. Those people are also suffering a lot now. Now I am still alive, and I can also bring my family members from the frontier. Bringing it back is already quite a difficult task, so I don’t want anything else now. "Mr. Zhang is saying that I am a little scared. General Mo Lun has been in the Western Regions longer than me, and he has made great contributions. But look at these brats in Chang'an City. I see all these ways of isolating others, and I really feel sorry for them, so I have to drive them all the way to Annan, what's going on?"

Although Zhang Jiuli does not have any official position, he is Li Xiang's adviser after all. Cheng Chuliang and other generals also understand that, so when facing Zhang Jiuli, they always call him Mr. Zhang, which is enough. Losing this guy's face, not to mention that when Zhang Jiuli was in the Western Region, he was equivalent to the Deputy Protector. Xiao Shougui had to discuss some matters with him. It is normal to have such courtesy.

"I understand what the general is thinking. In fact, the first batch of soldiers in the barracks also felt uncomfortable. General Gaochang also did a lot of things for us. We should give others better things, but some things are caused by personal injury. Involuntarily, His Highness was able to write this letter, which shows that His Highness cannot afford to offend these nobles in Chang'an City for the time being, because there are too many of them. "

What Zhang Jiuli said is a fact. Take a small general who is in charge of five hundred people. There are about a hundred in the entire Western Region, but more than forty of them are composed of noble families in Chang'an City. They People are united in spirit and encourage General Moren together.

No matter how important General Molun is, you can't remove all these more than 40 noble men. If you remove them all, the combat effectiveness of the entire military camp will decrease.

"Sir, what you said is true. I can be considered one of the original people in this group. In fact, I have to consider it now. These people are powerful in fighting and have not lost the face of their father and brother. However, these people also have a characteristic that makes them accept the colonial generals. , it is really too difficult. His Highness is also responsible for this matter. In the early years, His Highness kept saying that people who are not from our race must have different hearts. Everyone has remembered it in their minds, so now he wants to accommodate a foreign race. General, it’s really difficult.”

When Cheng Chuliang talked about this matter, he also brought Li Xiang in. Zhang Jiuli didn't know what to say when he was beside him. He couldn't go along and talk about Li Xiang's fault. You are Li Xiang's brother-in-law. What are you talking about? It doesn't matter in a word, and no one will hold you accountable, but it won't work if we are guilty.

Seeing Zhang Jiuli's suddenly serious expression, Cheng Chuliang also knew that he had said the wrong thing and could not talk about Li Xiang's problems behind his back. If someone with a heart heard about it, it might affect the whole family's livelihood in the future, so This guy also looked around with a guilty conscience. There was no one else except Zhang Jiuli. Only then did he feel relieved. Zhang Jiuli was not a talkative person.

At this moment, General Mo Lun was escorting supplies to the military station. After receiving Cheng Chuliang's order, he rushed back as quickly as possible. General Mo Lun did these things hard and without complaint, but in the end he could only gain the trust of those old people. He still couldn't gain the trust of the young general in Chang'an City. During this period, he also had some insights in his heart, but he didn't show it. He still did his job well.

When he received Cheng Chuliang's letter, General Mo Lun knew that this farce was coming to an end, but he just didn't know how the court would arrange for him... (End of this chapter)
