0602 Qinghai Navy envoy, Murong Fuguo

Just as the elite Youyi Department of the Tang and Turkish countries were fighting fiercely around Chiling, Shancheng, dozens of miles away from Huangyuan, was also disturbed by it.

As one of the few big cities in Longyou, Shancheng is where people gather and news gather. Although they dare not go to the front line to see the details of the war between the two countries, they also felt that the clouds of the war became increasingly thicker.

The particularly continuous army and materials passed by Shancheng to Huangyuan Camp, which made the viewers feel even more uneasy. Even if people cannot easily discover the important tasks of the military and national affairs, their past experiences are still unforgettable.

In the past few years, due to the continuous invasion of Tubo, Longyou was not peaceful, but with the Heyuan army defending the Chiling line, it was difficult for Tubo's army to directly invade Longyou.

Therefore, although there were rumors that the two sides were about to go to war, it had a relatively small impact on Shancheng, and the people coming and going were also deeply confident in the Heyuan Army and its commander Heichi Changzhi.

It should have been a happy thing for the court to send additional figures to support Heyuan. The war is nothing more than people, horses, money and food. The more powerful the capital the Heyuan army accumulates, the safer it will naturally mean that Longyou will be.

But for many people who stay here, they don’t think this is a good phenomenon. Such scenes seem familiar. For example, the Battle of Dafeichuan and the Eve of Chengfengling in the past year were the same, but the war report from the result shocked Longyou and everyone was in danger.

When the same picture appears in front of you again, many people realize that something is wrong and dare not have optimistic thoughts. While busy packing their luggage, they complained angrily that the court is trying to make trouble and have nothing to do, and they insist on not getting along with the Tubo in the west of Chiling.

In a short time, Shancheng no longer had its previous prosperity, and the market suddenly became deserted, which felt a sense of depression as if people were to leave the city empty.

When Li Tong returned to Shancheng from Huangyuan Camp, he was in a complicated mood when he saw this scene and didn't know what to say.

"The Tubo thieves are poor and evil, and they must attack the enemy. They should not be ashamed of peace. But to make the morale of the army stable and the soldiers can fight, your highness does not have to care too much about these mobs."

Liu Youqiu and others who were left behind in Shancheng went out to greet him. Seeing that His Highness Yong was in a complicated expression, they quickly raised their hand to comfort him.

"It is normal for ordinary people to make a living, and it is easy to avoid bad luck. Qinghai's two defeats are squandering people's expectations, and the battle is on the rise again, which makes people dare not be optimistic. Although I had foresees before, I didn't expect to shake people's hearts so deeply."

Seeing that the city was sparsely populated, even if there were some, they were all hurriedly leaving with their luggage, Li Tong sighed in his heart, and felt more and more that the harm of Tubo to Longyou.

He pulled his horse at the city gate, looked at the people who were traveling, and after pondering for a moment, he said again: "How many places are these people traveling?"

Liu Youqiu was in Longbian for a long time, so he was not unfamiliar with this. After hearing this, he replied: "It's nothing more than the east and west, heading towards Guzang, Liangzhou, and east to Jincheng, Lanzhou."

"Immediately, Immediately, make preparations for the migration of people, and do not let bandits rob and rob people by way of robbery and harm people's lives. If necessary, some post roads can be released for people to pass."

Speaking of this, Li Tong paused again, looked at the road and walked over the road and connected more than a dozen large trucks, and then said: "We also report to the two states that every incoming country will be charged one hundred yuan per truck. If there are more than this amount, each truck will be charged one hundred yuan. If anyone dares not pay, all the cars and horses will be confiscated!"

Hearing that His Highness Yong was still worried and sympathetic the moment before, but suddenly turned to gather again the next moment. Liu Youqiu couldn't keep up with this idea for a while, and opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer.

"In previous years, the government could not measure the amount of money and goods. Taking advantage of the fact that people and goods are floating outside this time, of course, they must be regularized!"

Looking at the traveling teams, Li Tong sneered.

In previous years, famous generals from Dafeichuan were in charge of the army, and Chengfengling gathered 180,000 troops, and they were defeated one after another.

Now Li Tong's army is not as powerful as the Battle of Chengfengling, and its reputation is far less than Xue Rengui back then. Everyone has no confidence in him, and is not optimistic about this battle. He is unwilling to stay in Shancheng and is affected by the defeat of the army. Li Tong can understand this.

But understanding does not mean that I feel very happy. Before I started fighting, I just act like a tree falling and scattering. You slapped it a bit fiercely in the face, so don’t blame me for being polite!

Of course, he would not oppress the real civilian households, and would even open post roads, expel bandits, and send troops to escort them to the territory they thought they were safe. But he would not intend to let go of those guys who were covered in oil and water, who were faster than rabbits.

To be honest, it is still very difficult to enter Qinghai and fight against Tubo. Moreover, this battle will last for a long time, and the outcome is unpredictable. Of course, Li Tong has to use the characters' resources to the extreme, so there is no question of benevolence or righteousness. If he loses, Tubo will take the opportunity to invade, and these characters' resources will be cheaper.

Although Chiling has started fighting, the war is mainly concentrated on Youyi's mutual attacks on Chiling, and the Heyuan Army's defense line is still maintaining a blockade of Chiling.

Li Tong entered Long this time and led 30,000 troops, of which 10,000 have been replenished into the Heyuan Army's positions to continue to strengthen the defense line. Another 5,000 were led by Xue Ne to Taozhou to deploy defense against thieves.

In other words, he still has 15,000 new forces from Guanzhong in his hands, in order to use tough means to integrate the people and material forces in Longyou before the war begins.

Therefore, he was not afraid of whether the issuance of too harsh decrees would make Longyou chaotic first. If some potential hidden dangers could be aroused, the Longyou army would become more stable.

He thought about various preparations before the war in his mind, and Li Tong rode his horse into the city. After returning to the inner city prefecture, he asked again: "Come the Northern Army Newspaper."

On the Huangyuan front, he and Heichi Changzhi were very enthusiastic about attacking Qinghai, but he also knew in his heart that if he wanted to really enter Qinghai, there were still many prerequisites. Among them, the battle between Qibian Ming and the Turkic in the northern front was the biggest factor.

The situation under the Tang Dynasty is difficult to deal with two major enemies at the same time. As for Li Tong, who is in Guanxi, he is even more confident. If he really wants to start a war on both sides, he is looking for death!

The officials were prepared for a long time, and after hearing this, they hurriedly sent the military newspaper to Shancheng this morning and submitted it to the properly sealed military report.

Li Tong took the military newspaper and got up carefully. After a moment, he couldn't help but slap the table and laughed: "Qi Bi Ming is worthy of being the descendant of the famous family. The strong Serbs defeated the Turkic bandits in one battle, making me worry-free!"

Everyone in the hall smiled when they saw this, especially Liu Youqiu and other old man Zuo. Seeing that His Highness reacted so fiercely, he guessed that the battle in Yuanzhou should be an amazing victory, so he hurriedly asked.

"You all have also read it. The new achievements of the North Road marching have been made, and we, the people from Longbian, must strive to pursue it!"

Li Tong raised his hand and handed the battle report to the lower seat, so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

The defeat of the Turkic Mochu thief army in the Battle of Qibian Ming did make him overjoyed. Although from a strategic perspective, the revived Turks were far less threatened to the Tang Dynasty by Tubo, the Turks and the Tang Dynasty also fought for years, just like the gangrene with the bones, which was also a big trouble.

"The great victory of Duke Liang's Kingdom shows that His Highness is wise in his teachings, and he will be worthy of his use!"

After reading the battle report, Liu Youqiu and others also clapped their hands and cheered: "It's a pity that Mochu was cunning and failed to capture and kill it in the formation, so that this battle could not be fully accomplished."

"It's already very good. Even if Mochu was killed in this battle, there were still many messy thieves in the north of Mobei, and they still had to suppress the enemy. Although Mochu was just escaping, it was no longer a problem in a short period of time. The shogunate could look west with all his strength!"

Li Tong didn't think it was a pity that he could not get Mochu over in one battle. Instead, he believed that Mochu's escape was more beneficial to the current strategic situation.

The three Turkic brothers Gu Dulu were able to succeed him. If they were really killed in the Guannei Prefecture, the remnants of Turkic sinists in the northern part of Molong naturally had to support Gu Dulu's other brother Dulu. If Dulu inherited the Khan throne, in order to consolidate his power, they would likely continue to invade Hequ in the name of revenge.

Although Mochuo escaped now, his new successor to the Khan throne was defeated. It is conceivable that his majesty will inevitably be severely damaged, which may cause the Turkic Khan throne to regenerate the rebirth of the rebirth of the Khan throne. The best result is that his brothers fight against each other and fight directly in Mobei.

In any case, as long as Mochu is still alive, the Turks in Mobei will inevitably be riots and will be powerless. What Li Tong needs now is this strategic space, which can concentrate his strength against Tubo.

Originally, Li Tong's idea was that after expelling the Turkic thieves from the Neihe Qu in Pass, if Mochuo still had the intention of plundering, he would have to complain to the court, hoping that the court could bear part of the pressure from the Turks. But once he did this, it would mean that he could not control the situation and would have to hand over some of the authority.

Now there is no need to bother the court, and Li Tong has the reason and confidence to be authoritarian in Kansai. He is naturally relieved and has become more determined to invade Qinghai.

In addition to his achievements with the Turks, the Qibian Ming Military Newspaper also explained in detail the situation of the Hu tribes in Hequ and attached some of his own ideas.

So in this military newspaper, Li Tong saw the familiar Hu tribes who were disturbing the Western Xinjiang in the future.

Of course, these Hu tribes are still younger brothers. Even the Xiangtuoba tribe, which established the Xixia regime in the future, was only mentioned once or twice in the report of Qibi Ming, and they were not even qualified to analyze and tell the story positively.

This feeling is quite wonderful, but Li Tong generally agrees with Qi Bi Ming's plan to adjust the Zhuhu garrison.

At present, his military strength in Longyou was insufficient, and now the Turks were fucked for a short time without any threat. After thinking about it, he planned to order Qibi Ming to draw a group of Hu tribes from Hequ prefectures to fight in Long according to the actual situation.

Among them, the Uighurs and the Dangxiang Tuoba tribe are naturally the targets that need to be paid attention to. As for the other one, it is the Murong family of Tuyuhun. As the original royal family of Tuyuhun, the Murong family is an important chess piece that Li Tong is preparing to disrupt the situation in Qinghai.

So Li Tong waved his pen and ordered the King of Qinghai Murong Zhong to immediately travel west to Long and obey the orders in front of the tent. After thinking about it, he carefully asked Qi Ziming to make the wording stricter, and it would be best to give Murong Zhong a sense of humiliation that "if I promise you, I will lose my face."

After writing the reply to Qi Bi Ming, Li Tong wrote a handwritten confession and appointed his former officer Murong Kang as the Qinghai Army Envoy, and said to him: "I will be appointed as the Qinghai Army Envoy, the Qinghai King's Tent Guard. I will travel to Chiling with Heyuan to recruit Zhongyi and follow him."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your support, and you will do your best to do your best!"

After hearing this, Murong Kang suddenly kowtowed with excitement on his face. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Looking at the subordinate who was knocking in front of the seat, Li Tong felt aroused his heart and said, "Your former master, Noh Huobo, is cowardly and hard to convince the public. But after all, he is the King of Qinghai, which is taught by the court, and I can't take his name now. In the future, how many of Tuyuhun can do is more powerful, and I need to pay attention to the men in front of the formation. Today I will give you a word of "repair" to encourage myself."

"Murrong Fu thanks His Highness for giving his name."
