The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 719 Replacement of vassal defenders

According to Li Xiang's idea, the general should continue to argue with him, and then there would be a chance to convince him at the end. Who knew that the general quietly drank up the wine in his glass, and finally let his subordinates The people were sent back to the military camp.

"It seems that His Highness has not achieved his goal."

Yuchi Baolin didn't follow him just now, but his eyes were not very good when he saw Li Xiang coming back. This obviously meant that he had not achieved his goal. It is not easy to divide a person. Although General Kang Ying was separated from his army, But this person still has a very important strategic position for Li Xiang. After all, this person has a high reputation within the Turks.

"Just take your time. Anyway, the most critical moment in the Western Region has passed. The remaining time is in our hands. The strength on our side is slowly growing, and their strength has already reached its peak. The peak is now slowly falling, and with the ups and downs, we are not far away from the day of victory."

Li Xiang's words also made Mr. Zhao next to him nod his head. Cheng Chumo went out to inspect the camp, so Cheng Chuliang was the only one here.

During this period of time, the army of Gaochang Kingdom has not been idle. We have formed more than 20,000 Gaochang Kingdom troops, but all the officers at the grassroots level are from the Tang Dynasty. Although their combat effectiveness is not very good, they can already carry out operations. Some simple tasks, but Li Xiang didn't think about it.

"Your Highness doesn't believe them?"

When Cheng Chuliang made the report, Li Xiang shook his head. Now the locals manage the locals, which is a major hidden danger to stability and unity, so Li Xiang thought about mobilizing the armies of these slave countries.

"The current performance is indeed good, but it's hard to say what it will be like in the future. I think there should be exchanges between each other. For example, Goguryeo's army goes to Xueyantuo, Xueyantuo's army goes to Gaochang, and Gaochang's army returns to Goguryeo. Leave all the dirty work to them if they don't belong to each other. If something happens, kill them and give an explanation to the local people."

Li Xiang has always had a huge question mark in his heart about the local people's control of the local people. At that time, all regions were in chaos, so Li Xiang did not make large-scale mobilization. Now it is stable. In such a state, even Gaochang, which had just been conquered, had already surrendered and was already in line with such a transfer.

"The scale of what His Highness mentioned is huge. If we are not careful, it may cause us a series of problems. Now that everything is very stable, we might as well continue to increase the work on these people."

Mr. Zhao is more conservative in doing things. In the past, the people in Gaochang also resisted fiercely, but Li Xiang introduced a term called ideological work, and they also began to brainwash the soldiers in Gaochang, especially many soldiers who had the Tang Dynasty. of blood.

This work has been done very well during this period. Many people are positive and hope that they can become a person of the Tang Dynasty. It is also very simple to become a person of the Tang Dynasty. That is, you work hard in normal times. As long as you If you have half of the large intestine blood in your body, you may become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Of course, there are not many open qualifications, but there are one or two every year, just to allow these people to work hard and make progress.

"I don't think this is appropriate. I remember His Highness said before that people who are not of my race will have different hearts. These people can listen to us now because we are stronger. When the day comes that we will go downhill. , they may not and will not abandon us, so it is better to rotate. Although rotation will cause various problems, it is better than having them look after themselves."

Yuchi Baolin expressed another attitude, letting them look after their own people. These people may not be reliable. After all, they have lived in the local area for so many years, and the people around them are also their relatives and friends. They have not been allowed to raise the butcher knife yet. , if one day the common people stand up to resist and are asked to lift the butcher's knife, will these people be able to lift it?

Not only can they not lift it up, but they may also turn their spearhead and aim their swords at the Tang army. The Tang Dynasty cannot set up too many troops in various places. Now is the war period, so there are so many troops. Once we wait until other If there is a war in a certain place, then we must rely on these local troops. This will make it extremely simple for military expenditures and other mobilizations.

"I also think His Highness's idea is correct. Otherwise, let's exchange neighboring areas first. First transfer Xue Yantuo's army to Gaochang, and then transfer Gaochang's army to Xue Yantuo. This will have less impact."

Cheng Chuliang drew a line on the map. If only the troops in these two places were to be mobilized, it would only be 700 to 800 kilometers at most, which would not be a very long distance, and the living habits between the two sides were similar.

"This won't work. If we want to transfer, it has to be farther away. Xue Yantuo's people go to Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun's people go to Goguryeo, Goguryeo's people come to Gaochang, and Gaochang's people go to Tuyuhun."

Li Xiang drew arrows one after another on the map, each belonging to another. Even if the people below wanted to collude, they had no place to collude.

"And among these armies, only 70% of their people can be used. I must tell the generals below that 70% is a red line, and the remaining 30% must be our Datang Anyone who dares to cross this red line will be punished without mercy."

Li Xiang thought of the Anshi Rebellion in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, too many Hu generals were appointed, which led to this war.

Li Xiang set the ratio of soldiers at seven to three. As for the ratio of officers, it was probably even higher. At most, only one level of foreign officers could be employed, and the rest must all be talents from the Tang Dynasty.

Mr. Zhao was watching the plan from the side with a gloomy look on his face. He must be worried in his heart. With such a large-scale transfer, there are many things that may happen along the way. His Highness is still young after all, and his upper lips touched each other. Touching the lower lip, which caused so many people to move around, really made it difficult for many people. If the court knew about it, many people would definitely stand up and object.
