Although this is a little slow and your orders may not be well implemented in the early stages, it is a permanent solution. You don't need to worry about the locals taking away your power in the future. In the long run, this is very appropriate.
Of course, this is not the case in Tuyuhun and Goguryeo. The land there is better, and the imperial court can immigrate a large number of people there. In the land of Western Turkestan, even if you distribute the land here to everyone, I am afraid no one will be willing to come here. It is too desolate.
That night, Li Xiang ordered Niu Jinda to guard the camp, and Yuchi Baolin accompanied him to the banquet. According to the previous agreement between the two parties, Li Xiang only brought 30 guards with him, and Yuchi Baolin also had a combat force of 22 people, so if a fight really broke out, there would be no problem waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. All of our brothers are ready for battle. They'd better not do anything rash. If they have any bad intentions tonight, I, Lao Niu, will kill them with my sword and slaughter them all in blood."
Niu Jinda said as he inserted the knife, since the weapon was modified for the army, this knife has not tasted human blood for a long time. The main reason is that the weapons in the hands of the brothers are too powerful and others can't rush in at all.
"Just make the necessary preparations. Don't worry about anything else. I don't think the Western Turkic Khan has such an idea. There are many members of their royal family in the city. If a fight really breaks out, he will have to worry about being exterminated. Moreover, we already demonstrated force yesterday, and his people have told him everything. Do you think he is stupid?"
Although Li Xiang said this, he was also checking the various equipment on his body. We must despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically. In case they take risks, we must have a contingency plan in this regard to avoid being caught off guard.
When Li Xiang walked out of his tent, thirty soldiers were already ready. These people were carrying simple weapons, but if a real fight broke out, the most important thing would be the steel knives in their hands.
Li Xiang smiled and nodded. He felt more confident about going out with such subordinates.
Li You originally wanted to come over to see him off, but thinking that Li Xiang did not give him face yesterday, this guy stayed in the tent. In fact, he had other ideas in his mind. If Li Xiang could not come back, then who would be given the command of the military camp?
When he said this, Eunuch Han immediately stopped him and said, "Fortunately, you didn't go out and ask this question. If you had gone out and asked this question, those people might have killed you first."
Although you're a prince of the imperial court, second only to Li Xiang here, can you even mobilize a single one of your subordinates? Take the guards at your door, for example. Besides protecting you, they'll pretend not to hear you even if you ask them to do something else. Your position as a prince of the imperial court is only valid in Chang'an City; it's useless in the military camp.
Li Youde cursed and thought about telling a tale after returning to Chang'an City, but then he thought about what he had done. He didn't know who would tell the tale then. According to what his mother said in his heart, he had to go to his fiefdom as soon as he returned to Chang'an City and must not stay in Chang'an City. Li Shimin wanted to kill this guy. Are you waiting there for him to take action?
Li You is now a joke not only in the Western Regions, but also in Chang'an City, where many people laugh at him.
Everyone knows that you are useless and very ridiculous, but no one expected you to be so ridiculous that you almost overturned the entire court's strategy for the Western Regions. If Li Shimin were here, you would definitely lose your head.
Li Xiang has no right to kill you. If he had the right to kill you, would he have kept you alive until now?
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, please..."
Abalasha's servile appearance made the surrounding cavalry feel uncomfortable, but Abalasha taught them when he came that our current strength is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty attacks us, we will live the same life as Tuyuhun. Moreover, they have already demonstrated their strength yesterday. Can you defeat them?
Although many people are still not convinced, they have to admit that what the Prime Minister said is correct. If simply bowing down can make the people of the Tang Dynasty focus their attention elsewhere, then it is indeed worth it. However, in the long run, we should increase our own strength so that the Tang Dynasty will not dare to take action against us.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is very respectful."
Li Xiang is a very good person. If you are a tough opponent, Li Xiang will try his best to destroy your self-esteem, but if it is someone like Abarasha, there is no need for Li Xiang to do so. The other person is on the verge of hesitation. If you are a little more assertive, you may push him back.
Under the leadership of Abalasha, Li Xiang brought only thirty guards and followed them towards the palace. These people on the way were also very impressed. No matter how they looked at Li Xiang, he entered the city with only thirty people. This was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't his life precious?
According to many people's thoughts, although our Western Turkestan is also a big country, if the heir of our country were to arrive in Chang'an, he would definitely not dare to bring such a small number of people in. Just based on this courage, we have lost a lot.
However, after Li Xiang left, the people here also saw the changes in the Tang Dynasty military camp. The surroundings were like hedgehogs, and even observation posts were sent out. In addition, a thing that could fly very high was raised inside the Tang Dynasty military camp. It could see very far in the sky, including every move in the royal city, as if everyone could see it.
Li Xiang also had something on him. If the other side made any changes, Li Xiang could immediately send a signal here, and Niu Jinda would rush in with his men. Anyway, we have plenty of gunpowder on us, no matter what is in front, even your city gate can be blown down. Anyone who dares to have any inappropriate thoughts about our Crown Prince will have to report to the King of Hell today.
This not only concerns Li Xiang's safety, but also the dignity of the Tang Dynasty...
