Of course, Li Chengyi could not say this in Chang'an City. The court ministers did not dare to say it. If we generals who are fighting outside say these words carelessly and let them find a handle, maybe the words will be pushed to the court, delaying Li Xiang's northwest strategy. Who can bear the responsibility?
"Your Highness, what are you saying? The land in the northwest is certainly useful. Your Highness has sent so many soldiers and spent so much effort to capture so much land. If it is useless, I don't believe it at all. Moreover, according to the intelligence I have obtained, the land west of the Caspian Sea is very good. We can definitely carry out various activities there."
In the past, when people met, there was no need to address each other like this. At most, they would just call each other General Li. But after this rebellion, Li Chengyi's title rose rapidly, and his status in the entire royal family also began to rise significantly. This was because he stood on the right side. If he had stood on the wrong side, then the situation would have been difficult to predict.
In fact, in any industry, there is a problem of standing in line. If you can find your own position and always follow the winner, then even if your personal efforts are extremely limited, you can get a good position. But if you can't figure this out, then some things are hard to say.
Take the people of Gaochang Kingdom for example. Everyone had a good future, but now, except for General Moren, the rest have either been killed or demoted. They have almost no future at all. It’s not that they have not been given opportunities, but when these people are faced with real opportunities, can they really understand them?
"It's pointless if you talk like that. Let's stick to the old way of addressing each other. Although I've been promoted, I'm still a junior in the military. If you call me that, I might as well go back to the capital early. I don't have the time to take your place here."
After hearing what Li Chengyi said, General Moren laughed out loud. The relationship between the two was very good. They were already very familiar with each other during the first war with the Arab Empire. Although they had few opportunities to meet in recent years, the friendship they developed on the battlefield could not be lost just like that?
"Actually, I don't have much affection for Chang'an City. I also hope to bring my family here, but you also know that I am a foreign general and have no right to bring my family here, so I asked to go back and rest for half a year. Right now, there is not much going on here. It's just that the Yue people are resisting very strongly and it's impossible to kill them all. You just need to pay attention to them and don't worry about other things."
Although General Moren tried his best to downplay these things, some things still existed. For example, many Han generals in the Tang Dynasty could bring their wives and children with them without worrying about other people's suspicion. After all, they were all Han people. Would they oppose their own dynasty?
General Moren was different. Although the Tang court used him as an example for all foreign generals to see clearly, some things were not that simple. For example, his family, except for a few concubines, all the children stayed in Chang'an City.
Moreover, after these concubines became pregnant, they had to be sent to Chang'an City immediately. Although no one explicitly asked for this, General Moren knew very well that if he did not send them there, some things would be difficult to say.
"The Yue people have always been restless. I remember when we first occupied this place, many of them fled into the mountains and forests to continue fighting us. It seems I have to help you clear them out. This time, I brought back 1,500 Fuso soldiers from the northwest."
Li Chengyi licked his lips. General Moran was also decisive in killing, but he had never had a good way to deal with the resistance of the Vietnamese people. When Li Chengyi mentioned the Fuso soldiers, General Moran ignored them. The Fuso soldiers in the northwest were almost all blood-thirsty. If they were placed in Annan, they would be allowed to do whatever they wanted.
The handover between the two was very quick. They had originally wanted to have a drink together, but General Moren was eager to return to Chang'an City. It had been two years since he had the chance to reunite with his children, and he felt very sad, but having chosen this path, he had no choice but to continue on.
Li Chengyi also knew that this road was not easy to walk, and he stopped talking when the words came to his lips. He also wanted to say a word for General Moren and let some of General Moren's children come over. However, people's hearts are unpredictable now. Chang'an City has just experienced this incident. Even the emperor's children find it difficult to believe, let alone a foreigner. Li Xiang no longer says that because of the problem of ethnic integration, but everyone still knows that those who are not of our race must have different hearts.
General Moren has indeed made great contributions for us, but the contributions must also comply with the regulations. As long as everyone does things according to the procedures, even if there are some extraordinary things in the end, it will not cause us too much loss. All the losses started from opening the back door.
So Li Chengyi couldn't say this. Even though he knew General Moren well, he wouldn't say much. If something happened in the future, wouldn't his bright future be affected? Now that he had finally made it to this point, he couldn't let himself be dragged down by someone else's problems. This would probably be a loss, and this guy knew it very well.
As for some things in the future, everyone can only busy themselves with their own affairs. After experiencing this incident, you must be more careful. Those who seem to be doing good for you actually want to drag you down. If you stay vigilant at all times, then this matter will not have much to do with you, but if your vigilance continues to decline, then falling into the pit is only a matter of time.
If you can climb out, then you are lucky, but if you can't climb out, then it is your own problem and has nothing to do with others. This is something everyone understands, so in this case, everyone understands what you do.
After General Molun's carriage left, Li Chengyi's expression changed. The Vietnamese are rebelling? I'm a fucking rebel specialist. Get all the Fuso soldiers out.
