Chapter 870 All surrender

Prince Shu's Mansion

Seeing that the date set by Li Xiang has come again, he originally agreed to go to Nanzhao in a month, but now he may not be able to leave. The other two chieftain envoys came down from the mountain. They have already expressed their agreement to submit to the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it's not because of Li Xiang's temperament as the protagonist, but because things have changed on the mountain, and those two chieftains are not fools. They continue to resist with the help of their troops, and the result is no better than that of the Longchuan chieftain.

"This is really a gratifying thing. I have already written a memorial and asked His Highness the Grand Sun to read it. If there is nothing wrong, I will immediately send it to Chang'an City to report the victory. Things that have troubled the Central Plains Dynasty for many years have not been expected. Let us solve it, and this will be well written in the history books, and I will follow His Highness to take advantage of it."

Among all the people, Xiao Yu can be said to be the happiest. This guy can also be regarded as a literati. The most important thing is his name. Now that he can deal with these chieftains, he can indeed make a mark. Of course, this Whether a sum of money is good or bad depends on the future performance of these toast masters. If you rebel immediately after surrendering for a few years, your credit may be reduced to zero, and your fault may even be investigated.

But in Xiao Yu's heart, this result was simply impossible to achieve. In the past, when the Central Plains Dynasty recruited these chieftains, it left them too much autonomy to show the tolerance of the Central Plains Dynasty, but it also left various problems. Due to various hidden dangers, rebellions by chieftains have become commonplace.

Now the situation is different. Our troops are already spread across various mountain villages, and according to Li Xiang's follow-up plan, all the chieftains must move their families to Chengdu, which is tantamount to seizing control. Their lifeblood, and will also reorganize the army on the mountain, and will not let the chieftain directly control the army.

This is still happening in the past five years. After the five-year transition period, various levels of government offices will be set up in the mountains. By then, they will be managed by officials. As for these chieftains, they and their families will thoroughly If you can fade out of this area, if you can obey the control of the court, you will be given some opportunities. But if you are a little annoyed, for example, if you are a little bit worried about Tusi Adu, you will be thrown into the cold palace directly. .

"I can trust your literary talents, but it's a little too early to send out such a memorial now. If we manage this area well, of course there will be no problem with this memorial, but If anything goes wrong, the Yanguan Yushi in Chang'an City will also have a very tough mouth."

Li Xiang frowned and said, he didn't value things like merit very much. What he valued most was the actual rights in his hands. But Xiao Yu was different. Yu has always been in the capital, and he has no credit for going out. Now that he finally has one, how can he not seize the time to report to Chang'an City?

"Your Highness is right, I am really a little too happy, but after all, this matter must give a message to Chang'an City, otherwise the blame will be on us. I will make some corrections when I go back." ."

It was rare for Xiao Yu to blush on his face. What was said in the memorial was indeed a bit excessive. Although they did not describe their contribution as eternal merit, there was a hint of meaning in the words. This was also one of the reasons why Li Xiang was critical. , others can say this, but if we say it ourselves, wouldn’t it be a bit like Lao Wang selling melons? When the time comes to return to Chang'an City, he will be ridiculed by others, not to mention that in Li Xiang's eyes, such an achievement is nothing more than a small achievement. Can it be greater than opening up new territories? This place itself is the territory of Datang.

"Reporting to Your Highness, two envoys have arrived outside the city..."

Zhang Jiuli came in smoothly from the outside. This guy can breathe a sigh of relief now. The situation on the mountain has basically stabilized. Mainly because after negotiating with these two envoys, our army can enter the territory of the other two chieftains. Then the overall situation on the mountain has been decided. According to His Highness Taisun's previous promise, one of his family members can be sent back from the border. This can be regarded as an initial victory.

"You know best how to talk and what to talk about. Let Qian Ping accompany you there. Qian Ping will represent me. I will not meet these people. If I meet them, maybe those two The chieftain thought he was very good, but in fact he was just like one of our local officials."

When the real victory came, everyone was in a state of ecstasy. Only Li Xiang could calm down. Don't think that accepting the mountain is a good thing. You must know that life in the mountain is very difficult. If you really accept the mountain, , and a large amount of money will have to be allocated to support the mountain. I don’t know if the Ministry of Finance will be willing to do so.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will leave immediately."

In Zhang Jiuli's mind, this matter does not require Li Xiang to personally come forward. Whether it is Longchuan Chieftain or Adu Chieftain, they are much stronger than these two chieftains. Those two chieftains can handle it by themselves. Is it possible that at the end? Will there be a problem with these two?

What's more, the current situation is different from before. In the past, we didn't have much military strength in the mountains and could only rely on the Second Young Master and Chieftain Adu. But after a series of operations, we have nearly 10,000 troops in the mountains. The combat power of more than 10,000 people is no joke. If you two chieftains dare to explode the thorns, we can defeat you at any time.

It turns out that I was not familiar with the terrain on the mountain and didn't know much about the situation on the mountain, so you guys could dominate the mountain and maximize the geographical advantage. But now our army has also learned about the mountain. , and the people of Tusi Abdul can also help us. Your so-called natural danger has lost its effect.

So in this case, as long as these two chieftains are in their right minds, they will definitely not do anything excessive at this time. They sent the envoys just because they wanted to live a better life in the future. This kind of bargaining For things, Zhang Jiuli can be said to be the most suitable. It can hold two large toasts flat, and it is also enough for you two small toasts.

If you want to live a happy life, you must let your subordinates work hard. This is Li Xiang's philosophy.
