When it comes to reading people, Wen Yanbo feels he has a good way. For example, on the way north to Daizhou, he accurately judged that Li Shan, who was accompanying him, was a person with a very complicated personality. He has a long-term vision and a ruthless approach.
Everything that happened after that proved that Wen Yanbo was right. Li Shan could redeem 30,000 Han people, and at the same time, he could mercilessly cut off hundreds of heads under his command... Wen Yanbo clearly remembered when he left Guji Town early this morning. , Li Shan looked indifferent as he strolled past the mountains of heads.
Therefore, after a short observation, Wen Yanbo confirmed with laughter and laughter that whether it was Tuli Khan or the association rate, the request to Li Shan for advice was sincere.
As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Since Li Shan took office, he had a quarrel with his colleagues and failed to control the military. The Turks invaded the country every year and Daizhou was in ruins.
But Li Shan found another way to start from the trade route, and used subtle means to change Yuan Junzhang, who refused Li Yuan's offer three times, to surrender to the Tang Dynasty... Wen Yanbo glanced at the association rate, this guy is a bit of a dog, and he was very well-behaved after being subdued. , it is said that Li Shan took advantage of him time and time again.
"Jie Li is powerful, but brother is weak." Li Shan was not polite and said directly: "If you want to fight, it will not be accomplished in a day."
"Ashina unified the grassland in Mobei. Jieli claimed to control 400,000 strings. It was just a lie. I heard..." Li Shan paused before continuing: "I heard that Jieli Khan believed in Zhao Deyan, centralized power and strict laws. Iron Are the Le, Uihe, Bayegu and other tribes dissatisfied?"
Tuli Khan looked deeply at Li Shan and said, "That's true. The grassland tribes have always moved due to water and grass, and the government orders are sparse. But now the old customs have changed, the government orders are cumbersome, and many tribes are dissatisfied."
The friend on the side added a few words, which made Li Shan's mouth curl up. He couldn't help but look at Wen Yanbo. Both of them wanted to laugh... Speaking of which, Zhao Deyan was indeed a traitor, but he was very likeable. traitor.
In the final analysis, what Zhao Deyan wanted Jieli Khan to do was to establish a country with a centralized system, similar to the administrative system of three provinces, six ministries, and prefectures and counties in the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Central Plains. However, he completely ignored the incompatibility of nomadic peoples with this. .
In the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, without the orders and military symbols of the Tang Emperor, whoever dared to mobilize troops would be rebelling... Can the leaders of so many tribes in the grassland tolerate it?
Last year, Zhao Deyan even suggested that Jieli Khan recruit elites from various tribes to form a standing army... Jieli Khan was tempted for a while, but with the secret support of many tribes, Tuli Khan was able to return to Wuyuan County.
It can be said that Zhao Deyan single-handedly caused chaos in the grassland and made many tribes dissatisfied with Jieli Khan... Li Shan felt that the effect he caused in Shuozhou and Daizhou was not as good as Zhao Deyan's. .
The leader of the association rushed to ask: "If brother wins the hearts of all the tribes..."
"Absolutely impossible." Li Shan shook his head and said: "Just like in Chang'an, when the prince and the King of Qin seized the throne, many ministers were attached to it, but more ministers were unwilling to get involved. For example, last year, they preferred to be released as county magistrates... …”
After hesitating for a moment, Li Shan nuzzled at Wen Yanbo, "Mr. Yanbo is in the middle of the book and serves as the minister, and he is given the title of Duke, and he refuses to be biased."
Wen Yanbo remained silent, thinking that Li Shan was really good at talking nonsense, and he was just bullying people... I really don't have any obvious preference myself, but my eldest brother Wen Daya is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province, and a direct descendant of the King of Qin Centaur.
"Even if Jieli Khan treats the tribes harshly, the leaders of each tribe may not be willing to surrender to his elder brother, otherwise disputes will inevitably arise." Li Shanqing said sincerely, "So, there is no need to win over the elder brother."
The corner of Wen Yanbo's mouth moved, you really gave advice to Tuli Khan... When disputes broke out, life and death would be more beneficial to Li Tangcai.
Tuli Khan pondered for a long time, nodded and said: "What my dear brother said is true."
"But we must not remain indifferent." Li Shan said softly: "After signing this alliance, all kinds of salt, tea, and other goods will be continuously shipped to Yunzhou... Jieli Khan treats us harshly, but my brother should be gentle."
Wen Yanbo, who was listening with squinted eyes, suddenly said: "As the saying goes, what people want is what they want."
"What Mr. Yan Bo said is true." Li Shan nodded and said, "Jie Li loses people's hearts. Brother doesn't have to win over the tribal leader, but he can win over people's hearts."
Tuli Khan had a look of emotion on his face. He hesitated and said in a low voice: "I heard the news yesterday that Wang Zhang wants to grant important positions to the leaders of the Tiele and Uighur tribes."
"While treating them harshly and conferring duties at the same time, does Jieli Khan treat the tribal leaders as fools?" Li Shan laughed and said, "In this case, he will inevitably alienate the Ashina tribe. This is also a good opportunity for my brother."
Give a stick and then give a carrot... Then you have to choose the right time. Jieli Khan wanted to take back power, and he was eager to rule the grassland with decrees, but he only gave one such a small one, maybe there was something hidden inside. Poison carrot, what effect does this have?
Maybe it will have the opposite effect!
Under the big tree, the four of them talked for a long time, and only took some dry food at noon. Li Shan kept planning for Tuli Khan, how to be gentle to each tribe, how to win over people's hearts, how to avoid triggering a fierce counterattack from Jieli Khan, and Both parties establish safe and efficient communication channels.
Until dusk approached, Tuli Khan held Li Shan's hand affectionately and said, "We will meet again someday and drink and talk. But my dear brother is in Shuozhou, so there must be a chance to meet."
Under normal circumstances, Li Shan, who is in charge of the General Administration of Daizhou, should be in Daizhou and Xinzhou east of Yanmen Pass. Tuli Khan's words obviously meant something. Li Shan said calmly: "This is a state matter and a matter of the DPRK." I don’t dare to disobey the order from the Central Government... Please ask my brother to cover up."
"It's just a small matter." Tuli Khan calculated on his fingers, "In late May, Jieli Khan will definitely make a mistake, but he will not use all his strength. My dear brother, it is better to return to Daizhou."
Obviously, the Tuli Khan was not very optimistic about the defensive power of the Guji Town Fort. After all, although the Turks were not good at attacking cities, they were not without any means, let alone only two months. Even if it was completed, how much would it be able to do? Strong defense?
Li Shan shook his head and said, "In late May, I'm afraid my little brother will have returned to the court."
"What?"
"We have become sworn brothers today. Although we are due to state affairs, we feel like old friends at the first sight. I don't want to deceive my elder brother." Li Shan's eyes were sincere, "The court has chosen the acting governor of the state."
Listen to this and look at Li Shan's expression. This time it's Tuli Khan's turn to be speechless... Have you forgotten what happened in Mayi? Do you really think I don't remember Yu Sheshe, who supports me the most? How did he die?
We felt like old friends at first sight!
"The new acting governor is Yongkang County Duke Li Jing, who will take office in April or May." Li Shan said in a low voice: "Now that the world's famous generals are ranked among the top three, it will be difficult for Jieli Khan to break through."
Tuli Khan is not worried about this. As long as there are no accidents, it will be difficult for Jieli Khan to break through Yanmen Pass. What he is worried about is the execution of the covenant.
"Brother, don't worry, this person is from Danyangfang of the Li family in Longxi." Li Shan said with a smile: "My younger brother has a very close relationship with Danyangfang. Li Kai, the acting magistrate who is now in charge of Xia City, is my best friend, and he is the Duke of Yongkang County." nephew."
With a slight nod and a few words of greeting, they parted ways in this dilapidated village. Not long after, Li Shan and Wen Yanbo watched the Turkic cavalry go north.
"Did he notice it?"
"It doesn't matter." Li Shan smiled and said, "This is a conspiracy, and it's upright."
"Didn't Jieli Khan treat other tribes harshly?"
"If Tuli Khan wins over other tribal leaders, will Jieli Khan tolerate it?"
Wen Yanbo was silent for a while and sighed: "He is really like Zhang Yi and Su Qin."
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
