Huang Mingliao took Tongluo Duo'er back to Luntai and temporarily placed the Tongluo tribe in Shatuoqibei. This place is blocked from the heart of Beiting by Shatuo Qi, and on one side is the surveillance of Xianquan Town.
Although Huang Mingliao can't help Tong Luo Duoer, he will not affect national affairs because of it. It is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes in the Tongluo tribe now, so we cannot relax our vigilance against them. It was placed in the north of Shatuo Qi, three to four hundred miles away from Luntai. It was not only convenient for disposal, but also had Shatuo Qi as a barrier to prevent it from suddenly attacking and wreaking havoc in the North Courtyard.
In this regard, Tong Luo Duoer didn¡¯t say anything.
For this man, she has already seen clearly that her life is more important than his, but far less important than his family. He can sacrifice his life for himself, or he can sacrifice himself for his family.
Huang Mingliao temporarily placed Tong Luo Duoer in the city and did not dare to take him back to the Protectorate. He has been thinking about how to deal with the Tongluo tribe these days, but he has never been able to find a solution that meets both needs. He is really worried.
After Huang Mingliao returned to the city, Li Jie hurried to see him.
During the days when Huang Mingliao left, he also learned some things about Huang Mingliao and the Tongluo tribe by asking some veterans, especially Xin Mengyue.
To him, this is nothing. If the chief of Tongluo tribe is still Tongluo Xieye, it will certainly be difficult to deal with, and it will be difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends on both sides. But the chief of the Tongluo tribe became Tongluo Duoer, and he could marry her directly. When the time came, the Luo tribe would also become a dowry.
A woman like Luo Duoer, placed in the mansion, can still rebel.
Therefore, Li Jie didn't understand at all when he saw Huang Mingliao getting angry after returning to the city.
"Why do you need to worry? It is a good thing to come here with the Luo tribe. Our army has gained thousands of cavalry in vain, and it will become stronger in the Western Regions."
"How can I get Tongluo's cavalry for free?"
Li Jie smiled and said: "Since Chief Tongluo is going to marry the envoy, these thousands of cavalry must be used as a dowry. How can it not be considered free of charge?"
Huang Mingliao glanced at Li Jie and saw that he was full of joking, knowing that he already knew about his family's past affairs.
"Zi Kexiu has to make fun of me. Since you know my past, you should know the grudges between the Sui Dynasty and the Tongluo tribe. It is not said that Tongluo Xie died at the hands of his eldest brother, it is almost the same. The hatred between the two sides is as deep as the sea now. , How can I be a family member? Besides, if I really marry Duoer, how will I explain it to my brother?"
Li Jie said: "The envoy really paid too much attention to Chief Tongluo, but lost his bearings. Do you know how far it is from Saiyin Mountain to the Western Regions? Without Duke Wei's permission, the Anbei Protectorate could allow the Tongluo tribe to advance westward. I'm afraid. They were killed along the way a long time ago. Duke Wei sent Tongluo to the west just to fulfill the envoy's wish for marriage."
Huang Mingliao was a little silent after hearing this.
After a while, Huang Mingliao said: "I know Duo'er's temperament very well. She seems to be weak, but in fact she would rather bend than bend. Being able to come to the Western Region is already her biggest bow, and I'm afraid it's mostly for the sake of the tribe. As for the others, I really don¡¯t dare to think too much. The problem now is how to arrange the Tongluo tribe. The Tongluo tribe has five or six thousand cavalry. If it is not handled well, it will be a trouble."
Li Jieneri said: "Although these thousands of cavalry are a trouble, they are also a help. How about giving their subordinates a pasture to settle down, and recruiting their troops into one army to fight for the Western Region Prefecture."
"Where is the appropriate place to place it?"
"There are two places. One is to the west of Huangcaobo and to the north of Cheling. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and Huangcaobo is to the east. It has abundant water and grass. It is a unique place."
Huang Mingliao listened, thought for a while, and shook his head.
"The west of Huangcaobo is indeed a good place, but I plan to use this as a western barrier, otherwise Shuanghe County will not be built. Once this place is handed over to the Tongluo Department, Shuanghe County will be abolished."
From Shuanghe to the west and north are prairie, so this is the end point where the Western Region Protectorate can extend to the west north of the Tianshan Mountains. Going further west, it will completely enter the nomadic area, and it will be difficult to defend it.
Li Jie then said: "The other place is the Yanbo area north of Huangcaobo. To the north is Duotan Ridge, to the east is Shatuo Qi, and to the south is the Shuanghe River across several small deserts. To the west is the prairie. Placing the Tongluo tribe here can help us guard the north and prevent the Turks from detouring from the northern line and raiding the hinterland of our army."
In fact, Li Jie was planning to move the Tongluo tribe to the north. The first location was just his test. Let's see if Huang Mingliao has been carried away by beauty.
Fortunately, the result was okay.
"Five or six thousand cavalry is not a small force. It can not only defend the northern border, but also threaten our hinterland."
"Who said five or six thousand cavalry?"
Huang Mingliao was stunned.
Li Jie said: "With two thousand of the most elite cavalry as an army, commanded by Chief Tongluo,?Stand on standby in Beiting. The rest of the army is at Yanbo Ranch. His army of five to six thousand cavalry looked very large and could be divided into two. "
What Li Jie didn¡¯t say is that the two parties are in hostage to each other. If one part makes any rash moves, the other part must be worried. This method can check and balance the two phases.
Huang Mingliao nodded after hearing this.
"What Brother Zi Ke said is absolutely true."
"If it comes to fighting, Li Jie is not as good as Huang Mingliao. When it comes to local governance and increasing finance and taxation, Li Jie is not as good as Jiang Yunhui. But if you are playing politics and conspiracy, you are definitely a good player. This person has Guo Jia's scheme and Jia Xu's viciousness.
¡°And by keeping Tong Luo Duo¡¯er in Luntai, he can also please Huang Mingliao.
Huang Mingliao ordered Li Jie to arrange the matter.
These days, I have been racking my brains over the matter with Luobu, but now I can finally solve it. As for the matter between him and Tongluo Duoer, after so many years, they are no longer children. There is no use in being anxious. Let everything take its course.
Huang Mingliao was sitting alone in the lobby with his eyes closed, and his wife Yang came in.
"These days, although the situation in the Duhu Mansion is calm on the surface, it is turbulent privately. She is not a fool, how could she not see the turmoil inside.
"Her husband kept it secret from her, so Yang didn't know." She didn't know Huang Mingliao's past, she only knew that he was her husband.
"Mr. Lang is back."
Huang Mingliao heard his wife's voice and quickly opened his eyes.
"The madam is here."
"If Mr. Lang is tired, he will go back to the backyard to rest."
"No, I have other things to do later."
"Then let me massage Lang Jun's head." After saying that, he stepped forward and started to move his hands.
Huang Mingliao closed his eyes and said nothing, enjoying his wife's massage.
After so many years, the couple may not be in love, but they respect each other as guests and have long been accustomed to each other. My elder brother once said, "You must respect your wife at all times, because you are your wife, and your wife is you. Husband and wife are one body, sharing prosperity and loss together, and no one else can compare with you."
Huang Mingliao thinks he can do it. After so many years of marriage, he has never taken a concubine.
I thought that the couple's life would go on like this, but the sudden arrival of Tongluo Duoer broke the peace. Although Huang Mingliao was invincible on the battlefield, he was really not good at taking care of housework.
He was in a dilemma as to how to deal with love and family affection. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
