Time flies by like a white horse.
Since the last conversation with Li Ke, the motivation of His Highness the King of Wu has suddenly weakened a lot due to a shock or something.
Li Ke's idleness made Yang Fan depressed, because this guy always came to him whenever he had something to do.
In order to avoid this annoying guy, and not to want to be attacked every day, Yang Fan had no choice but to find something to do on the pretext of checking and filling in the gaps in the strategies he proposed.
War is a collision of blood and fire.
Knocking on the door with force can at best only conquer the desire of others. Once the time comes, it will be rekindled.
But after the war, economic manipulation and cultural invasion are the ultimate weapons to kill people without blood, which can destroy a country and destroy a nation invisibly.
Culture and capital can destroy everything and completely conquer a nation. This is the result that later generations have spent more than a thousand years demonstrating. Therefore, every step must be taken very carefully.
When Yang Fan publicized various policies, he immediately gained support from various tribes in Tubo.
In their view, when the Tubo people govern the Tubo people, they are still the main ones, and their rights are not deprived.
On the contrary, the various welfare policies of the Tang Dynasty allowed them to enjoy a more prosperous life, so all tribes patted their chests and guaranteed their absolute cooperation.
It was only when they fell into the abyss and could no longer struggle that they discovered that the original things had been subtly changed.
Of course, Yang Fan is not an evil invasion, but a spread of civilization, but this method is to eradicate the roots and forget the ancestors...
Don't talk about cruelty, and don't talk about benevolence and morality. This is the law of the jungle where the jungle prevails, and even humans must follow it.
But for Tubo, who lived in a slave society, it was a supreme gift.
More than half a month has passed, and the temperature difference between day and night has become larger and larger. Yang Fan has also been tortured by this huge change in temperature.
As night fell, Yang Fan was soaking his feet comfortably in the handsome tent, easing the coldness in his body.
Counting the days, the new governor should be arriving soon, right?
At this moment, the tent door was gently opened, and Su Dingxiang looked inside before walking in.
Yang Fan opened his eyes and saw Su Dingfang walking lightly. He couldn't help laughing and scolding: "What are you doing sneakily? Apart from you bunch of stinky big feet, don't you think I can hide my beauty in a golden house?"
Su Dingfang chuckled, obviously his thoughts were seen through.
However, although we know that there is no woman in the tent, who knows what the Lord is doing?
If you catch your boss using the fifth girl, wouldn't it mean that your official career will be bleak, your future will be worrying, and you have to be careful to sail the ship for thousands of years.
Of course, Su Dingfang did not forget about the business, and said with a cupped hand: "General Qi, a messenger has just been sent to report that the governor who is coming to take over will arrive at Luoche City early tomorrow morning."
When he said this, Su Ding was happy. No one wanted to stay in this bitter cold place for a long time.
The arrival of the person who came to take over means that Yang Fan's troops can retire and return to Guanzhong.
More importantly, the merits of this expedition to Tibet are not small, and he will definitely receive a large reward.
Being able to have a wife and a son is the goal that everyone strives for.
Yang Fan was not surprised, and even felt that the successor had arrived a bit late. Apparently, the DPRK and China had gone through a lot of turmoil over the selection of the candidate, which was why it had been delayed for so long.
You must know that it has been more than twenty days since the last imperial edict arrived.
As the New Year is getting closer and closer, Yang Fan is of course anxious.
However, I was a little curious about the new governor, so I couldn't help but ask: "Do you know who the first governor is?"
Yang Fan was most worried about the imperial court sending a mediocre person. Although Tubo seemed stable, if it could not deter those who harbored dissatisfaction, it would definitely turn Tubo into a mess.
In this way, the strategy you devised will not be effective and will not achieve the effect of boiling a frog in warm water.
Su Dingfang quickly replied: "According to reports, the new commander-in-chief is Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County."
"Li Daozong?" Yang Fan frowned, a little surprised.
Could it be that this boss was really beaten down by Li Shimin? But he’s a good candidate!
It's October, winter has entered, and the cold wind is blowing in Luozhe City. The green grass has turned yellow, and the dewdrops on it have obviously been frozen by hoarfrost.
Yang Fan was leading a group of officials to greet him at the city gate.
After all, this Li Daozong is not only an elder, but also the top leader of the Southwest Protectorate, so he must save face no matter what.
"The sun is coming out, hey, the Pleasant Goat is coming out, hey..."
Looking at the newly yellowed sky, it was obvious that the sun was about to come out. Yang Fan was in a very good mood. As long as he handed over the work, he would be able to return to Chang'an. How could he not be excited?
Hearing such a weird tune, Xi Junmai approached Wang Xiaojie and asked in a low voice: "Captain, what tune is the Marquis singing?"
Wang Xiaojie's eyes widened and he scolded: "Boy, there are many songs you haven't heard before. Pay attention to your surroundings."
It was also the first time for Wang Xiaojie to hear Yang Fan sing this kind of music. How could he know it?
As the captain, wouldn’t it be very shameful if I said I had never heard of it?
"Captain doesn't know, either? Mr. Hou knows a lot, but this song is so nice." Xi Junmai was not afraid at all, but murmured.
Although Wang Xiaojie is the leader of the personal guards, all the personal guards under him are as fierce as tigers.
Since Xi Junmai was recruited by Yang Fan from Niu Jinda's forward camp, he has been training with the guards, and the two have a very good relationship.
More importantly, Wang Xiaojie admired the smart boy Xi Junmai, and even more appreciated the fierceness in him.
In Xi Junmai's slightly childish face, Wang Xiaojie saw his former self. In addition, the two were similar in age, so Wang Xiaojie had always taken good care of him.
Of course, there is also the aspect that Yang Fan is very optimistic about Xi Jun's purchase. After all, his own prince has never missed it.
While the two were talking, a group of people came rushing towards the end of the official road ahead!
Seeing this, Yang Fan lifted the reins and led a group of people towards the team.
After the two groups of men and horses met, Yang Fan dismounted first and walked to greet them as a sign of respect.
There is no need to be disrespectful. After all, Li Daozong is the elder and the first governor of the Southwest Protectorate. His support or not is directly related to the success or failure of Yang Fan's policy towards Tufan. The other party's carriage stopped, and a minister in purple official robes jumped out of a luxurious carriage and strode forward to greet him. It was Li Daozong.
Just as he was about to greet him, a burst of hearty laughter came:
"Haha, my wise nephew is indeed a young hero. This time he defeated Tubo. This is a great achievement. I am really happy for you."
From afar, Li Daozong gave Yang Fan a tall hat, which is of course true.
And instead of calling Yang Fan his official title, he called him nephew, obviously trying to bring the two of them closer.
Of course, the relationship between Yang Fan and Li Jinghuan is not wrong at all by Li Daozong, and they even seem to be much closer.
"My uncle is too praised. I don't dare to take it seriously. It's just a fluke." Yang Fan responded quickly to Li Daozong's closeness with a slight smile.
Of course, it was not to flatter him. Although Li Daozong was wearing a purple robe and could be regarded as a feudal official, Yang Fan was not envious.
After all, he has the power to destroy the country. As long as he returns to Chang'an, it is not necessarily possible to get a purple robe official uniform.
Li Daozong strode forward, held Yang Fan's hand, and said with a chuckle: "If you can't even be a loyal and righteous prince, then the whole Tang Dynasty is full of mediocrity. It was my wise nephew who destroyed Tubo, and I was able to avoid prison so quickly. Damn, I have to thank you so much!"
Well?
Yang Fan was a little stunned. Could it be that during the half year he went on the expedition, Li Daozong was really imprisoned like in the original history.
However, he said modestly: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I and Jing Huan are brothers. Isn't it true that Your Majesty is a bad boy?"
"Okay, okay... I am rude, but Marquis Zhongyi is indeed talented, so why should he be humble? You should give more advice to that boy Jing Huan in the future..." Li Daozong patted the back of Yang Fan's hand and said happily.
Yang Fan was about to reply when he saw a man standing up from behind Li Daozong and suddenly said: "We have traveled a long way and come all the way, but Marquis Zhongyi has been reminiscing about the past. Where did he put us? It's really rude."
Seeing someone looking for trouble, the smile on Li Daozong's face suddenly froze. There was anger in his eyes, but he did not express it. After all, this guy was the general designated by His Majesty to help him maintain the stability of Tubo.
Li Daozong knew him, but Yang Fan didn't care where you came from. His face suddenly darkened.
Looking around, he saw a general in armor glaring at him angrily. Unfortunately, Yang Fan didn't recognize him, so he thought to himself, this man must be sick, and he has too little eyesight.
I didn't see the superiors being polite to me. How dare a little general be so rude?
Besides, he interrupted me casually, and I wasn't even angry yet. Why are you staring so wide? He didn't seem to be sleeping with his wife, right?
Thinking of this, Yang Fan asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
I was a little confused, did this person have a grudge against me?
The young general raised the hilt of his sword and said proudly: "This is the captain Gongsunjie who is responsible for maintaining the stability of Tubo!"
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, held his breath and said, "Sorry, I haven't heard of it."
What the hell is this guy pulling at? How could a school captain be so arrogant?
Gongsun Festival?
Who the hell knows which crack in the rock you jumped out of?
"You are so bold. Zhang Liang, Duke of Ying, is my adoptive father. Now you know it." Gongsun Xi suddenly blushed and became furious.
Yang Fan was slightly startled. He was Zhang Liang's adopted son again. Zhang Liang had lived a long life. He had just killed one, and now another one had appeared. It was a real enemy.
However, even if the Duke of Ying came to Yang Fan, he would not be arrogant at all, let alone a little adopted son.
He cast a sidelong glance at this guy and said disdainfully: "The Duke of Ying doesn't even dare to talk to me like this. Who do you think you are?"
Gongsunjie looked angry. If looks could kill, Yang Fan would have died hundreds of times.
The reason why he dared to openly provoke Yang Fan was because he had the emperor's mandate, and it was expected that Yang Fan would not dare to do anything to him.
Now Yang Fan opened his mouth to insult Zhang Liang. In his opinion, this was Yang Fan's naked contempt for Zhang Liang, Duke of Ying.
Gongsunjie glared at Yang Fan angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Marquis Zhongyi, please remember my younger brother Zhang Shenji!"
The raging anger in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out and burn Yang Fan to pieces.
Yang Fan couldn't turn around for a while. He was simply confused. Is this person mentally ill?
I don't even know you, how can I know your brother Zhang Shenji?
Just as he was about to speak, his sleeve was pulled by Wang Xiaojie from behind, and he came closer and whispered: "The Zhang Shenji he was talking about was the one who was beheaded in the city a few days ago in accordance with military discipline."
"Oh!" Yang Fan suddenly realized and blurted out: "It turns out to be that dead ghost. That guy's bones may have been eaten by wild dogs now."
Feelings: This eldest son, Sun Chong, wanted to avenge his younger brother. No wonder he felt so much hatred when he saw him.
But this is just a clown's show, and there is no need for him to go to war.
Yang Fan narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Gongsun Jie, who was staring at him and wanting to pounce on him and bite him to death.
This guy is obviously obsessed with me, and he has an impulsive personality. If he stays in Tubo, he may hinder his plans.
But this guy was appointed by His Majesty Li Er after all. Could he still kill him?
But even if you want to, you can't be so blatant. It seems that you need to plan a lot.
Too lazy to pay attention to this guy, Yang Fan turned to Li Daozong and said: "My lord, you have worked hard all the way. Let's go to the city to take a break. I will introduce you to him later."
"Thank you!" Li Daozong said with his fists clasped, and followed Yang Fan into the city.
…
At noon, a grand welcome banquet was prepared in Luoche City to welcome Li Daozong and his party in the palace.
Not only were all the officials and people close to the Tang Dynasty in Luoxue City present, but also the leaders of various tribes came in person, which shows that Tibet attached great importance to the newly established Southwest Protectorate.
Not surprisingly, from now on, there will no longer be hunger in Tubo. This is the beautiful vision Yang Fan gave them.
Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty specially sent ministers to station here. This shows that the Tang Dynasty still attaches great importance to Tubo. Judging from Datang's previous closeness to neighboring countries, the treatment was pretty good.
For example, Tuyuhun defeated Tuyuhun and did not carry out the massacre of the country. He even married the princess for marriage.
Nowadays, a county prince comes to suppress Tubo. If he doesn't come to curry favor now, when will he wait?
Of course, the Southwest Protector will be his immediate boss in the future, and he needs to be cured of.
But even if Yang Fan is about to return to Chang'an, no one dares to act out the drama of "the tea has gone cold before the person leaves".
There is no doubt that both workshops and woolen mills will bring huge profits to Tibet.
What if you offend Yang Fan and they don't take you to play, so an interesting scene happened at the banquet.
These Tibetan nobles and merchants openly presented rare and rare farming treasures to Li Daozong as a meeting gift.
The other side was even more respectful to Yang Fan, treating him like a god, for fear of being ignored in the slightest.
This is not only the God of War, but also the God of Wealth who brings them a better life.
Li Daozong, who was both civil and military, certainly had a deeper understanding and would not be jealous of Yang Fan's flattery from these people.
Looking at Yang Fan talking and laughing freely among the crowd, I couldn't help but feel secretly in my heart.
Even if the pearl is buried in the soil, it will eventually shine brightly
Who would have expected that the playboy who once committed crimes in Chang'an in Zonghengguan would have such impressive growth once he was given a heavy responsibility?
Could it be that the more naughty a child is, the more promising he is?
However, seeing the same situation in Gongsunjie's eyes, he became more and more jealous.
Why did this guy kill his own brother with a knife and yet still thrive?
Gongsunjie gritted his teeth and followed Yang Fan's figure with his eyes. Thinking of his adoptive father's instructions, he clenched his fists tightly.
