"Your Highness, I don't care about other people's affairs, but you have already promised me that if you return to the Western Regions again, you will definitely take me with you. Is that true?"
When Li Xiang and Chang Sun Ze were discussing other things, Huo Qubing, who had been silent, opened his mouth. His words made the other two laugh, but Huo Qubing did not feel embarrassed. Although he was not the young man he used to be in history, he had a natural sense of belonging to the battlefield in the north.
During this period, I have made a lot of contributions in the south, but it always feels not quite the same. If I could go to the battlefield in the Western Regions, although it is not the same as the Mobei battlefield, it is much better than here. The main reason is that there is no war in the Mobei battlefield. It has long been flattened by Li Xiang, and there are still many troops left there. It is of no use for you to go there. The Western Regions is a place to start over.
"Your Highness, this is probably inappropriate. If General Huo leaves like this, I will have to take care of military affairs myself, which is beyond my ability. Otherwise, you should transfer generals from other places. I must keep General Huo here, especially those old forests in the mountains. Just looking at them makes my scalp tingle."
Chang Sun Ze was still laughing just now, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. If Huo Qubing left, he would have to take charge of all the military, political and civil affairs. He would lose all his hair every day. How could such a thing happen?
"I believe that Lord Changsun is very capable. Even if he manages both military and civil affairs, it will definitely not hinder the affairs of the court. Moreover, there are no major large-scale battlefields here. It would be a waste for me to stay here. It is better to go to the Western Regions."
Li Xiang hadn't even opened his mouth yet, but the two of them started arguing. Of course, this was normal, as they were both arguing from their own perspectives.
The Vietnam War has just ended. Although we have the main situation under control, there are still small-scale resistances in various places, especially in the surrounding mountains and forests. Various resistance organizations are emerging one after another. Even if the Fuso people are very efficient, there must be someone to watch over them, that is, there must be a dedicated person in charge of military affairs.
Huo Qubing was currently in charge of this. Regardless of how much of a role this played, at least Chang Sunze didn't have to worry about the military. This was already a pretty good result. But if Huo Qubing were gone, who would take care of this? Chang Sunze couldn't possibly split himself in half, could he?
"Alright, alright, stop arguing about this, you two. I've already made arrangements for you. The Gaochang Kingdom in the Western Regions has surrendered to us, and there's a general there named General Mo Lun. I plan to assign him here. He's also made great contributions on the battlefield. Although the climates of the two places are somewhat different, his ability is unquestionable."
Li Xiang thought of General Moren, who was becoming increasingly marginalized in the Western Regions.
When the war just started, he was able to lead his army to fight everywhere. He was appreciated by the Tang court and received many rewards.
However, with the arrival of a large number of Tang Dynasty troops, the two brothers Cheng Chuliang could no longer control themselves. Many Tang Dynasty generals no longer believed in this man. They only believed in the Tang Dynasty army, so General Molun had to retreat to the second line and now specializes in transporting various supplies and encircling and suppressing rebels along the transportation line.
A job like this only requires a small general, there is no need to use such a powerful general. Cheng Chuliang also understands this, but he cannot offend the noble group of the Tang Dynasty. If he offends them, he will have no good consequences after returning to Chang'an. It doesn't matter if it's just a single general, he can also suppress it, but if it's a group, not to mention him, even Li Xiang will have to think twice.
So the Cheng Chuliang brothers wrote a letter to Li Xiang, hoping that General Moren could be reassigned a position not too low, and it would be best if he could be responsible for a task alone. They were willing to guarantee General Moren that he would never betray the Tang Dynasty.
Speaking of betraying the Tang Dynasty, this matter simply does not exist. Take General Moren for example. His entire family is in Chang'an City. Except for him and one son, everyone else has settled down in Chang'an City. How can you say that he betrayed Chang'an?
What's more, if he really came to Vietnam, the army here was not his confidant, so there would be no possibility of betrayal on his part.
Li Xiang transferred this guy here just to prevent him from losing his star. He is obviously a very capable person and must not be depressed because of the noble group in Chang'an City. What's more, Vietnam is also a place that needs talents very much. After General Moren came here, there might be better development.
"I've heard of General Mo Lun. Although he surrendered from Gaochang, he fought bravely on the battlefield and inflicted considerable damage on the Arab Empire. If it weren't for the young Tang general's self-protection, this incident wouldn't have happened. If he were to take charge of the military here, I'd be the first to agree."
Chang Sun Ze immediately expressed his opinion. Huo Qubing was Li Xiang's confidant. Not to mention him, even if Chang Sun Chong was here, some things had to be discussed with Chang Sun Ze. Huo Qubing was an exception. He could do whatever he wanted because Li Xiang had absolute trust in him. This was a treatment that Su Dingfang had never had.
Therefore, Chang Sun Ze had wanted this troublemaker to leave a long time ago, but this troublemaker was indeed capable and managed his troops in an orderly manner. If there was no new replacement, even if Chang Sun Ze felt it was a bit troublesome, he would never let Huo Qubing leave.
Compared to Huo Qubing, General Mo Lun might be slightly less capable, but he was much more obedient. He didn't have the same connections as Huo Qubing, so he would be more restrained in many things. This would also make Chang Sun Ze feel more comfortable when doing things in the future. So when he heard about Li Xiang's replacement plan, he immediately agreed. As for Huo Qubing, who was standing next to him, he had no idea what was going on. He just knew that he would soon follow Li Xiang to the Western Regions and would be able to leave after this alliance meeting. He was so happy...
