Chapter 507: Take the initiative to invite
Chapter 507: Volunteering
After pushing Fu Yun's central army, he sent the many information from the attack to Li Jing. Even if the work in his hand was over, it can be said with certainty that Shi Lei's first achievement was not run away. After all, he has been charging forward at the forefront, killing the enemy the most brave, and successfully assumed the responsibility of a vanguard officer. In the end, he captured Fu Yun alive. At least in this northern army, no one can compete with him for this first achievement.w┡w
The rest of the matter is related to Tuyuhun's future direction. What is needed is not just a battle. You must also play with politics in order to handle these things well.
This is why many people can only serve as generals but not generals. Their requirements are still quite different. If they can really reach the level of marshals, they must be truly capable of becoming generals and ministers. In other words, most of them are all civil and military talents, so that they can handle the relationship between the army and the court internally and handle the balance of power of the enemy country externally.
This war against Tuyuhun was basically over for Shi Lei. All that was left was to hope that he would finish it soon so that he could go back to Chang'an to take care of his wife and children.
He doesn't care about things like power games. Anyway, the locals in Tuyuhun are just fighting to death, and they can't threaten him. Why are he worried about that?
With this skill, he might as well find other generals to drink more, or perform a few more suture surgeries, save as many lives as possible for some veterans on the battlefield, and reserve more war-capable people for the Tang Dynasty.
After Murong Fuyun fell into the hands of the Tang army, Li Jing and the others probably spread the news from the army through the tribes that followed him. They were not only to establish the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, declare some force, but also to see which forces were truly loyal to Fuyun. They simply took advantage of the army being still here and put out the whole army, so as to prevent the successors who were willing to come to power in the future, and rebellions would occur from time to time.
A relatively stable but not so joint Tuyuhun is more in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty. Especially for the one who came to power, it is best to rely on the power of the Tang Dynasty to support him in the back to make him firm. In other words, what the Tang Dynasty actually wants is an obedient dog, rather than a wolf that may jump up and bite him at any time.
In the end, probably for this purpose, Murong Shun, the son of Fu Yun, was chosen. His mother was Princess Guanghua of the Sui Dynasty. He had been a proton in the Central Plains during the Sui Dynasty and was once appointed as the Khan of Tuyuhun by Emperor Yang of Sui. Unfortunately, the local forces in Tuyuhun, who truly supported him to power were killed before he returned to his hometown, so he ran to the Central Plains halfway.
It was when the Tang Dynasty was established that Li Yuan and Tuyuhun attacked the Li Gui forces together, so in return, Murong Shun, who was released from the Tang Dynasty, had long been staying in the Central Plains, which made him always have more trust in the Central Plains Empire. Unfortunately, he had already established another prince before, so this person was naturally resentful.
This time Fu Yun was captured, and Murong Shun had some strength at least, so he simply killed the staunch anti-Tang faction, King Tianzhu, and took his head as a letter of fame to show his close attitude towards the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was about to find such a person to use, and the two sides hit it off. On the basis of Murong Shun's self-establishment as the Khan of Tuyuhun, he was also appointed as the Prince of Xiping. Therefore, from a legal perspective, Tuyuhun actually became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
However, there were still too few territorys that Murong Shun could really command, at least it could not cover the entire Tuyuhun territory. His commands were effective, that is, these areas that were all plowed in the Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, because the three tribes of Tianzhu were basically uprooted by the Tang Dynasty, the core area around Tuyuhun City fell into Murong Shun's hands, and his Tuyuhun Khan was justified.
Most of his enemies gathered in Shanshan. On the other side of the desert, they were all old nobles in Tuyuhun, who were more upright and stubborn, and of course they also mean to make excuses for their own struggle for power and profit. They obviously didn't like Murong Shun, an international student.
And it can be expected that after the Tang army left, even if it was nominally surrendered to Murongshun and other areas, it would not have been much stable. Otherwise, there would have been a war that would have left a rich mark in history.
Of course, the reason why the Tang Dynasty agreed to protect him was this point. It was because it had received the Central Plains education and was devoted to the Tang Dynasty. It had a certain foundation of strength, but it had to rely on the support of the Tang Dynasty and was considered a perfect candidate.
However, Shi Lei didn't really care about this. Long before the decree of rewarding Murong Shun was issued, Shi Lei simply grabbed the job of returning to Chang'an to report victory, just like in the last Turkic battle. He quickly brought his guards and the document of reporting victory written by Li Jing, and embarked on the journey of return impatiently. He ran no less than the 800-mile rush.
Shi Lei had no intention of interfering in Tuyuhun's local affairs at all. Other generals may have many interests there, thinking that they can use this time to cultivate more of their own power there and lay the foundation for them to reach the local area in the future.
Shi Lei was temporarily unable to develop such a new trade route, and there were still too few people. Moreover, with two sea routes, the interests of Tuyuhun and even the Silk Road were not valued and tightly controlled by Shi Lei.
Of course, the interests here have been almost divided up by the old forces of the Tang Dynasty. It is not easy for Shi Lei to intervene, and it is also a very important factor.
And didn’t Shi Lei have buried a few nails in? In addition, his achievements also ensure that when he wants to intervene, he will always have his share, but there must be not much.
Li Jing also had to weigh the relationship within the Tang army, so that everyone could enjoy the same amount of rain and dew as much as possible, and to be impartial, which was also a test of his level of being a general. Otherwise, this great marshal was not something that ordinary people could regard as well. Without the level of governing a place or even a country, he would not be able to play such complex jobs at all.
For example, Shi Lei has a clear understanding and positioning of himself. He is just a powerful general. He goes out to play with others for no reason. Just make a decision as a marshal. If he hadn't had many helpers in his family, he might not even be a head of the family, and he would not be able to be a village chief or baojia. If he had to do these things, he would have to catch them blindly.
However, things in the world are not absolute. Maybe one day he can force him to this position and he can also show his skills. The main reason is that he is used to being a hand-off manager and has the meaning of a flower in a greenhouse. In fact, he has experienced too few storms, so he is still not mature enough in terms of human affairs. For example, he is absent from the important moment of truly dividing interests after the war.
Fortunately, he did this without any benefit. At least, others have made people feel a lot better about a truly upright guy like him. Invisibly, his position in the group is gradually increasing because everyone recognizes such a new star more.
It can always bring more benefits to everyone, but I am not very keen on this. If anyone like this kind of person is replaced by a companion rather than an enemy, he will definitely be very welcome.
Hand-killed bass says
My brain is still on the verge of explosion. As a result, I asked, it was mainly caused by sitting in front of the computer for a long time, staying up late and using my brain too much. The solution is to sleep more, play more and relax more, but I can't do it... As long as I write, I love you, and I have to go through these things. Do you have any good ideas? You can post it in the book review area and save the author's head together. It really hurts!!
