Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Xiaogong thought he was very clever in "snatching the snake", but in fact he almost put Fang Jun into a disaster. Therefore, although he was facing Fang Jun's ridicule at this moment, although he was full of anger, it was difficult to get angry. After all, he felt guilty

    "Ahem,"

    After coughing twice, Li Xiaogong changed the subject: "The Battle of Alagou was indeed wonderful, and it wiped out the Anxi Army's future troubles in one fell swoop, but Erlang liquidated the Guanlong forces in Xizhou one by one, and did not even care about the indiscriminate facts, but he would arrest the suspects first.  Going to jail is really a rash move. That's it for the Western Regions. After this episode, Guanlong's power has been severely damaged and will no longer be as strong as before. But how can those people let it go? Why don't you have a second wife in the Western Regions? They must be in Chang'an City  Stirring up the wind and rain.¡±

    After a pause, he said worriedly: "The prince usually looks weak, but he will definitely show his toughness at this time. Whether he really treats you, Erlang, as his confidant, or is just acting, he will definitely not give up."  , otherwise, how will the outside world view him? However, once the prince becomes tough, he will face the Guanlong clan naked. No matter who wins or loses in the end, it is inevitable that the court situation will be messed up. And the prince was ordered to supervise the country, but he will turn the court into a mess.  The situation was disrupted, and even caused turmoil in the world. No one can erase this guilt. When His Majesty returns to Beijing to hold accountable, the crown prince's throne will be unsafe Erlang, just to cut off Guan Long's foundation in the Western Region, made the crown prince's throne unstable.  Do you think it was a bit reckless?"

    The entanglement of interests between him and Fang Jun has long been inseparable. No matter who he prefers as the crown prince, he can only stand on the side of the East Palace.

    And if this matter leads to the decline of the East Palace, or even causes the disaster of Yi Chu, it will really be more than worth the loss.

    Fang Jun looked calm, escaped from his arms with a letter, and handed it to Li Xiaogong.  When Li Xiaogong took it with a puzzled look on his face, he smiled and held the pot to pour him tea.

    Li Xiaogong opened the letter and read it at a glance. He put the letter away and returned it to Fang Jun. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He clicked his tongue and said in admiration: "I used to think that the prince just took advantage of his fame and righteousness, but he has the ability of mind, means and ability."  They are all far behind, but now I realize that although the prince is a little weaker, he is still responsible, especially he knows how to advance and retreat, and when it comes to making decisions, he has a bit of the aura of a human king."

    Fighting naked against Guanlongmen valve and fighting to the death will certainly lead to extremely serious consequences and even lead to the dethronement of the reserve, but if one blindly seeks the stability of the reserve and ignores and ignores Fang Jun's grievances,  How do others view this prince?

    First, he made a tough statement that he would rather "die together" and crush Guan Long to death. Then, when the situation turned around, he was able to retreat in time, which showed his toughness without damaging the foundation. This move was indeed good, and the effect was unexpected.  Good.

    In the past, I still saw the prince clearly, and I always felt that it was really rare for Fang Jun to support Donggong so unreservedly, but now it seems that Fang Jun has a longer-term vision and has already seen that the prince can support him.

    "As long as you have certain political qualities, the prince will naturally be an excellent person to be loyal to. After all, the prince's kindness is not fake.  Compared to the overly shrewd King of Wei, the decisive and decisive King of Wu, and the sinister and cunning King of Jin, the prince's benevolence is indeed more expected.

    No one wants to "accompany a tiger like a tiger", and will be ruthlessly abandoned by the king if he is not careful

    Fang Jun asked his soldiers to boil a pot of water again, and made another pot of tea himself. While pouring tea for Li Xiaogong, he said: "After this incident, the prince has made concessions. Guan Long can't be ignorant and can only wait."  Your Majesty will make further arrangements after returning to Beijing, so things have gradually stabilized for now. As long as there are no major changes, there is no need to worry. Therefore, the top priority right now is to defeat the Arabs, recover the fallen lands of the Western Regions, and revive the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.  , completely control the Western Region."

    Li Xiaogong nodded and said, "I'm afraid I have to thank the Arabs this time."

    In the past, the Western Region was controlled by the Tang Dynasty. The Anxi Protectorate had nominal jurisdiction over the entire Western Region. Wherever the Anxi Army went, everyone was under the invincible military power. However, in fact, those tribes with long heritage and powerful strength still remained.  He did his own thing and did not pay attention to the orders and regulations of the Tang Dynasty.

    What the Tang Dynasty needed was a stable Western Region and a stable Silk Road, so it could only adopt a tolerant policy and turn a blind eye to the Hu people who were acting in a submissive manner. As long as they did not cut off the Silk Road and resist the rule of the Tang Dynasty, they would not  To interfere too much.

    But these Hu people have always refused to surrender loyally, and secretly colluded with the Turks from time to time to undermine the interests of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty could not openly send troops to suppress them, and allowed the entire Western Region to fall into chaos

    Therefore, in fact, Datang never really controlled the Western Regions.

    However, things are different now. Although Xue Rengui lost consecutive battles and retreated step by step, his strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country made it impossible for the Arabs to capture the enemy.The small city never received supplies, so they had to bite the bullet and plunder everywhere, burning, killing and looting the Hu people in various places in the Western Regions to replenish the supplies of the army.

    The Hu people, who have been inherited for hundreds of years, have accumulated more than a hundred years of wealth and were emptied by the Arabs in one fell swoop. They even killed corpses everywhere and cut off the Miao descendants.

    After this battle, at least one-third of the Hu people in the Western Regions were probably completely wiped out, another one-third was forced to migrate, and the remaining one-third had to surrender to the Arabs and willingly surrendered to the Arabs.  Slavery¡­

    Fang Jun also smiled and said: "Who says it's not the case? The Arabs did what we wanted to do but couldn't do. From now on, these Hu tribes in the Western Regions will no longer exist, and the control of the Tang Dynasty will reach every corner of the Western Regions.  As long as we resist foreign aggression, we no longer have to worry about internal trouble."

    Those who were plundered and massacred by the Arabs will naturally lose their vitality and will no longer be able to survive; those who move their entire family will pay a heavy price in the severe cold weather of the twelfth lunar month. Even if they move to another place, not even a dozen or two people will survive.  There is no hope of settling down and recuperating in ten years; as for the Hu tribes who are dependent on the Arabs, the Tang army's attack was justified, and there is no need to worry about opposition from other tribes

    In the past, the tribes that the Tang Dynasty could not exterminate were either wiped out by the Arabs, or their dependence on the Arabs gave the Tang Dynasty a legitimate excuse to start war.

    It is conceivable that after this battle, there was no force in the entire Western Region that resisted the control of the Tang Dynasty.

    Of course, the premise is that we can win this battle, expel the Arabs from the Western Regions, and recover the fallen lands.

    However, neither Li Xiaogong nor Fang Jun paid any attention to the Arabs who had destroyed the city and conquered the city before. It seemed that victory was already within easy reach

    Fang Jun said: "So, does the prince want to return to Jiaohe City?"

    As soon as Li Xiaogong received the news of the victory at Alagou, he predicted that Fang Jun would use thunderous power to wipe out the influence of the Guanlong Clan in the Western Region, so he rushed back to try to stop it, so as not to cause the Guanlong Clan to bear the loss and react violently, provoking  Chang'an is in turmoil, so it seems that this worry is gone at this moment. If he continues to go to Jiaohe City, he will be in trouble and be regarded as Fang Junzhi's accomplice.

    Although both of them are leaning towards the East Palace, their positions are absolutely different. In any case, Li Xiaogong is a descendant of the royal family and a member of Guan Long. It is okay to fight with each other, but if they cooperate with Fang Jun to unscrupulously eliminate Guan Long's influence in the Western Regions, it will be impossible.  There's something wrong with that.

    And this is also the reason why His Majesty Li Er, even though he deeply hated Guanlong for threatening the imperial power, could only slowly suppress and weaken it, but could not uproot it with thunderous sweeps - not only because he was afraid of the strong backlash that Guanlong's clan might cause, but the most important thing was that  Once you do that, you will be known as "mean and unkind" and "kill the donkey", which will make everyone in the world stay away

    "The Guanlong clan tried their best to help you conquer the whole world, but as soon as you turned around, you uprooted them. How do other people think of you? How dare they be loyal to you wholeheartedly?"

    So it¡¯s okay for Fang Jun to go on a killing spree in Jiaohe City. If Li Xiaogong was also involved, that would be a big mistake.

    However, Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "I will definitely return to Jiaohe City. As the Great Protector of Anxi, how can I watch the officials up and down being wiped out by you at the time of the turmoil in the Western Region, and yet still be there?"  Gongyuecheng is turning a blind eye to this? That is dereliction of duty."

    Fang Jun glared and said: "But right now, Pei Xingjian is arresting suspected officials in Jiaohe City. Anyone who may be involved with Turks and cannibals is included in the arrest. How should the prince handle himself when he returns to Jiaohe City?"  ?¡±

    "It is definitely not possible to assist Youtunwei in arresting people. This is contrary to Li Xiaogong's camp, but it is not appropriate to sit aside and watch the excitement. Who will believe you if you are not helping Youtunwei?"

    Could it be that he wants to help those Guanlong disciples who are about to be imprisoned
