Chapter five hundred and forty seventh go west
The Tubo envoys were driven out of Chang'an City, which made many vassal states happy and afraid. What they were happy was that those small countries in the northwest felt that they would no longer have to be brutal exploited by Tubo, but they were afraid that the Tang Dynasty suddenly became so strong that it seemed to lose its former magnanimity.
Although Li Longji did not intend to continue to use troops against Tubo, and Wang Zhongsi also added the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and entered the Zhengshi Hall to become the prime minister, the elite troops of the four towns who had just won were not disbanded. Instead, after a series of decrees, the military strength of the four towns was strengthened again.
In the Hexi Jiedu Mansion, Li Guangbi, Geshuhan and An Sishun did not lose etiquette to Chen Guang because they were promoted to Jiedu. They knew very well that they could become Jiedu, and Chen Guang accounted for at least half of the credit.
"Now that the traitors have retreated to the plateau, Chen Lang feels how to deal with the traitors next."
Among the three, An Sishun, who took over as the governor of Hedong and the oldest senior, asked, "This time they were able to defeat the thieves on the front line of Sun and Moon Mountain. It was because Chen Guang won the victory in Jishi Mountain, which led to the depressed morale of the thieves. Zanpu was frightened and made a fool of himself, which allowed them to seize the opportunity to defeat the thieves' army."

"The traitors retreated to the plateau and lived in natural dangers. They should not easily urge their troops. Although the court strengthened our military strength, I thought it was better to be safe first. An Jiedu should train soldiers and rest with the people..."
When Geshuhan and Li Guangbi heard what Chen Guang said, they nodded from time to time. Li Guangbi took over as the governor of Shuofang, and Geshuhan led the governor of Longyou. They fought old battles with the Tubo people under Wang Zhongsi. Of course, they knew that although the king's army was stronger than the thieves, if they went deep into the plateau and the supply line was lengthened, it would be easy for the thieves to take advantage of.
"In my opinion, the next step is to use the previous strategy of the Grand General to deal with the thieves, build fortresses in Qinghai and other places, advance layer by layer, accumulate small victories into big victories, and let all the vassal tribes under the thieves rebel against the thieves, and give their troops appropriately..."
"What Chen Lang said is very true, and he was taught."
An Sishun nodded. Now the five prime ministers in the court, four of them are the relatives and friends of Chen Lang. He has decided to learn from Chen Lang in everything in the future. He heard that those Dangxiang people were still planting and drafting under the guidance of Chen Lang. This winter seems to be doing well. At that time, he recruited the foreign tribes on the border and taught them to grow grass and feed sheep, instead of nomadic people everywhere for easy management.
"Brother An, Brother Li, Brother Brother Shu, today is a private banquet. Don't be so reserved. I will go back to Anxi in a few days. We may have to wait a few years before we meet. We need to have a good drink today."
Chen Guang personally poured wine for the three of them. Now, the six most elite military towns in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, except for Cheng Qianli, an old acquaintance, are not here. He is far away in Anxi in the future, and the Tang Dynasty will have to be protected by Li Guangbi, Geshuhan and others. Speaking of which, he doesn't think An Lushan has the courage to rebel.
Now that the Tubo people are defeated, as long as Li Longji does not make any moves, let Geshuhan, Li Guangbi and others lead the army deep into the plateau to fight the Tubo people. If An Lushan still rebels under the strong military force of the four towns, he would probably be beaten out by the elite soldiers of Helongshuofang.
"Chen Lang said it was right, I promised today that I will never return without getting drunk!"
Ge Shuhan first shouted, then took the wine glass and drank with Shen Guang. Then An Sishun and Li Guangbi also raised their glasses to drink. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became warmer. The four of them talked about everything, and in the end they talked about Shen Guang.
"Chen Lang, you are going to Anxi now and you really want to rebuild the military town in Suiye."
"That's natural. If I, the Snowy Ye Army, would you be named after the Snowy Ye!"
"Chen Lang, you know that my brother Shu is from Tuqi Shi, and he still has some contacts on the Chuhe side. He sent several old people from a tribe to accompany you, so that he could recruit the Tuqi Shi tribes to serve you."
Ge Shuhan, who was drunk, spoke up and said that he was actually from Anxi, but he went to Chang'an City when he was a teenager. He said that there were still old people in his clan who had some contact with the thunder cavalry and Shiren on Chuhe, which was not a lie. You should know that he was a playboy who had a rich life since he was a child. Where did the money come from? Naturally, his hometown has a fertile farm and a large business.
"Then I'll thank you brother Shu."
Chen Guang knew that Ge Shuhan had good intentions, but he did not think that the Tuqi Shi people in the Chu River Basin would surrender for this. These barbarians had to conquer them first before they would truly surrender. However, with Ge Shu people as guides, it would be convenient for him to understand the situation of Tuqi Shi people.
Although Li Guangbi and An Sishun do not have a relationship like Ge Shuhan, they both patted their chests and said that they would choose the warriors from their respective military towns to give them to Chen Guang.
After this meal, Chen Guang immediately made up for the loss of 3,000 soldiers, and all of them were veterans from Hedong, Shuofang and Longyou towns, so he naturally made a lot of money.
...
"Master, you really do a good business. With these three thousand veterans, I, the Ye Army, will not only have no combat power, but will be stronger."
The next day, Zhang Xun said with great praise that An Sishun, Geshuhan and Li Guangbi are both heroes who keep their word. In the morning, someone sent a list of soldiers assigned to the Saoye Army.
"That's also the lord's reputation, otherwise the soldiers would have come so easily."
Li Bai smiled from the side and said, "Now the camp, the veterans from the three towns have rushed over to report, and there are many officers at the level of brigade commanders and lieutenants. I don't know if the three new governors regret it."
"Master, these veterans need to ask someone to choose to supplement first?"
"An Chongzhang, don't go too far. The Liang family in Hexi had already let you choose first. It's our turn to choose the elite soldiers of these three towns!"
In order to supplement the elite soldiers of the three towns, the generals in the commander's tent immediately started arguing. Although the soldiers under their command became elite soldiers after experiencing the war, they really liked the grassroots officers of the elite soldiers of the three towns, and those experienced brigade commanders, who were not jealous of them?
"It's enough, the Lord is in front of you and the quarrels are so quarrels."
Guo Ziyi said, "All the generals convinced him. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, so they are the deputy commander."
"Li Sheng."
"The last one will be there."
"In the Battle of Jishishan, the most severe deaths and injuries of Iron Harrier under your command are. I'm sure you choose first, with a limit of 300 people."
Chen Guang spoke to Li Sheng. In the Battle of Jishishan, this general led the Iron Harrier and the traitors' armored cavalry to fight to the end. Finally, he dug out of the pile of dead people. No one dared to say anything.
"Thank you, Lord."
Li Sheng was overjoyed. The iron kalpa under his command was completely defeated in Jishi Mountain. In the end, the survival was only more than 600 cavalry. Now the lord promised him to select 300 people, which was just enough to make up for a thousand cavalry.
Next, Chen Guang assigned the order himself, so the generals naturally did not dare to say much. Now that their lord is becoming more and more majestic, they are naturally very awe.
Three days later, Chen Guang led his army to the camp and led nearly 50,000 or 60,000 people to Anxi in the spring sun. Except for the 25,000 Thunder Ye Army, the rest were the families of the accompanying army who were willing to settle in Anxi.
