Wang Ping'an sat on the blanket, closed his eyes, and remained silent.

Everyone in the tent stopped talking, the matter was obvious and there was nothing to guess. Asanoqi Boer sobbed in a low voice. He was young, but he understood the truth. It was useless to be anxious now, so he could only wait for Wang Ping'an to make an idea.

After a quarter of an hour, Wang Ping'an opened his eyes again and said, "If Gu Lantian was to strengthen the troops of Yumen Pass and shock the enemies on the grassland, he would not have to care about me and I would support him. Anyway, I would still have to go back to Beijing. The army of Zheliu County can be distributed to him and let him command."

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not the case. If it's really for the sake of defending the enemy, you're divided into your troops, that's a normal requirement. Why use a wrong way? He still has other goals."

Su Dingfang said: "I want to rebel and become king? By the way, has he ever hinted at how many troops he would have to dispose of?"

Asanaki Boer shook his head and said, "There is no hint, and there is no mention of the topic of division of troops."

Wang Ping'an touched his nose and said, "I won't stay in Zheliu County for too long, he should know this. Then he wants to divide my troops... Isn't it the same as the commanding my army? The Turkic soldiers will fight for him. What's the difference?"

Su Dingfang immediately said, "The difference is so big. The army belongs to Zheliu County. If there is any war, he can command it. However, according to the rules, it is considered to borrow troops. The food and supplies must be sent by him. Moreover, if the army is divided, even if he is directly under the jurisdiction, the court will increase the food and salary for him. In order to make more Turkic soldiers surrender, the court has always provided double food and salary according to the government soldiers to set an example, and the food and salary for the border soldiers is also double!"

Wang Ping'an said, "So that's it. Saying that to say that Gu Lantian gets a soldier from me is equivalent to getting food and salary from four people, and he can triple the army!"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "No, my brother is wrong, it's four times. He will not send the food and wages that the Turkic soldiers deserve at all, but let the Turkic soldiers graze in Zheliu County to support themselves. In other words, you use the property of the fief to support his army, and he can use the food and wages he gets to expand the army four times."

Wang Ping'an tilted his head and said, "That is, if I give him five thousand Turkic soldiers, he can not only command these troops to fight, but also use the share of these five thousand Turkic soldiers to receive food and salary of 20,000 soldiers! How many soldiers do he have now?"

Asanqiboer said, "He has 20,000 soldiers now, but the government only has 8,000 soldiers. The remaining auxiliary soldiers will be treated the same as the county soldiers!"

Everyone in the tent came out in unison, OK, this abacus was really loud! If Gu Lantian really married Wu and threatened Wang Ping'an to distribute his troops, only 5,000 people would be needed, then his mansion soldiers would immediately become 28,000, which would not count the five thousand Turkic soldiers who were divided!

This Wu family is really valuable!

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "If I don't give him the troops and report to the court for 50,000 Turkic soldiers, wouldn't the court provide me with food and salary for the 200,000 army? This seems unlikely!"

Su Dingfang and Di Renjie said at the same time: "Of course it is impossible!"

Di Renjie rushed to say: "The Turkic soldiers were assigned to Yumen Pass, and that would be the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. If the eldest brother reported it directly, it would still be the Turkic soldiers. The treatment would not be the same!"

Su Dingfang looked at Di Renjie and said, "But the imperial court will divide the pastures according to the number of Turkic soldiers reported by the Marquis. In fact, the more you report, the happier the officials of the Ministry of Revenue. They wish you would report one million, and they could share the pastures that you can grazed for four million people!"

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "No, then don't you have to divide the pasture into the Turkic grassland?"

Su Dingfang cuckled and said, "They will only share the Turkic pastures with you!"

Di Renjie looked at Asunaqiboer and asked, "The court promised to give it to you the grassland, right? Which part is it?"

Asanaki Boer lowered his head and whispered: "It's the pasture of Dayan tribe."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the tent understood, turned a circle, and then returned to the origin. This is the Tang Dynasty's national policy for the Turks, which is incompatible with each other, and uses barbarians to control barbarians!

If there are Turkic people who come to surrender, you can. The Tang Dynasty court has never been stingy in this regard. If you want it, I will give it to you as much as you want. I will give it to you twice as much, and I will give it to you several times!

If there were surrendered Turks who reported that there were 10,000 people in their tribe, the Tang court would definitely be very amiable and considerate of this tribe, and allocate the grassland that could provide 40,000 people with nomads, or even larger, but this grassland was in the Turkic territory!

The Tang Dynasty court was the central empire, and the Turks were subordinates of foreign countries. Theoretically, the Turkish grassland was the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Then the Tang Dynasty assigned a certain grassland to a certain tribe, which was legal. But if a certain tribe really wanted to grazed on this grassland, it had to drive away the tribes on this grassland. Because the original tribe had not been enthroned by the empire, it was illegal. Even if a war arose, a certain tribe was also a righteous party and would receive moral support from the empire!

In this way, if one of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers was not sent or one of the big sons was not spent, two Turkic tribes could fight each other. This trick was effective. After the Xianbei people entered the Central Plains, they used this trick to deal with the former grassland brothers. The former Sui Dynasty continued to use it, and when they arrived in the Tang Dynasty, they still used it like this!

Wang Ping'an slapped his thigh and said, "If you say that, it would be better to distribute the army to Gu Lantian! At least in his name, you can get real food and salary, and I can only get the pasture!"

Everyone in the tent looked at him with a strange look. Even Asanoqi Boer was surprised and didn't even care about crying. He looked at Wang Ping'an with a strange look on his face!

Military power, that's military power, are you really willing to let go? If Gu Lantian knew that you were so happy, why would he have to force him to marry Wu? But then again, let alone he couldn't imagine it, we wouldn't have thought of it either!

Wang Ping'an stood up and said, "Qi Bo'er, you will rush back tonight to meet Gu Lantian and tell him that I will arrive at Yumen Pass tomorrow and I have something to discuss with him. I know everything he is thinking, it is easy to discuss, but he can no longer make things difficult for you!"

After pausing, he said again: "Tell him that if the Yumen Pass is short of troops, I can support some of them, less than 10,000 yuan, and you can discuss it. You can tell him this!"

Asanoqiboer was overjoyed, but she was a little panicked, and said, "Master, aren't you bowing to him?"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Look down? My head is not so low. I will divide it into 70% of the benefits he can get in this matter. If he can put me under the table, I will divide it into 60%. However, if 21 is added to 5, half of the score, he will not even think about it. Moreover, the soldiers can only nominally be assigned to Yumen Pass. If you talk to him directly, you don't need to be embarrassed!"

Asanagi Boer said, thinking, "It's still the master who is powerful, he actually came up with such a trick!" He nodded and agreed, ran out of the tent, and went back to Yumen Pass.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Brother, this is not Gu Lantian who wants to take advantage of you, you have taken advantage of him!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Go further to the abyss, take a step back and the sea will be broadened! I will take a step back and he will share the food and salary, but he will report it. If you have trouble in the future, he will have to go out of the ditch!"

Everyone in the tent laughed in unison and said, "That's what it should be. Who told him to plot against us first!"

Everyone talked for a while and went back to their own account to rest.

The next morning, Wang Ping'an ordered the camp to be drawn, and the Turks crossed the river in batches. But after all, there were too many people, and the gates on the side wall were small. Although the Linhe Captain had more than a dozen beacon towers, there was only one city gate under his control. More than 100,000 Turks went out in sequence, which required a lot of time.

There were many big cars carried by the Turks, and many old and weak were sitting in the car. They had to get off when crossing the river. They walked slowly on the ice, but everyone was anxious. For a moment, the scene of crossing the river was very chaotic, crowded into a ball, shouting!

Wang Ping'an did not cross the river, but stayed at the end. He was watching the Turkic people cross the river, and suddenly someone came to report it. A group of people came from behind, saying that it was an imperial envoy from Chang'an.

Wang Ping'an was surprised. Why did no one inform him of the imperial envoy from Chang'an in advance? He asked: "Who is the imperial envoy? Did he come to pronounce the imperial envoy to me?"

The soldier who reported the news shook his head and said, "I asked, but I didn't say it. It seems that he was not an imperial envoy."

Wang Ping'an rode his horse back and saw a group of carriages coming from afar. Under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, a large carriage was standing on a large carriage, holding the carport with one hand and waving at him with the other!

The purple robe official smiled and shouted, "No sick, I see you are here!"

Wang Ping'an was stunned. Isn't this Fang Xuanling? Why did he come here? The Prime Minister should have informed all local officials along the way. Although he was on the way, he could see the direction Fang Xuanling was in line with him. So why didn't he notify him in advance?

He trotted to the convoy, Wang Ping'an turned over and dismounted, saluted Fang Xuanling, and smiled and said, "It turns out that he is Lord Fang. I haven't seen you for many days. You are in good spirits!"

Fang Xuanling jumped out of the carriage, helped Wang Ping'an up, and smiled: "In recent years, I always feel that my body is getting worse than before. I think patrolling the border this winter is even more difficult. But I don't want to go all the way, but I feel more and more energetic!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Then the official is going to congratulate Lord Fang." After a polite sentence, he asked again, "I wonder why Lord Fang came to Yumen Pass, but he came to find the official?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "I am here to deal with the surrender of the Turks. By the way, General Wang Wendu is here too. Come on, I will introduce you to you."

Wang Wendu got off a carriage behind. Although his legs and feet were still inconvenient, it was fine to stand by himself. As long as he didn't move, he really couldn't tell that he was a person with leg problems.

"Mr. Wang, you and our Lao Wang are close friends. Five hundred years ago, our ancestors slept on the same kang!" Wang Wendu shouted happily, his arms spread out, and it seemed that he wanted to hug Wang Ping'an, but there was no place under his feet.

Wang Ping'an exclaimed and thought to himself: "Which general is he from the Guard Mansion? I have never seen him before. He must not be from the Zuo Wu Guard." A smile appeared on his face, he took a few steps, came to Wang Wendu, clasped his fists and said: "General Wang, this is the first time we meet again?"

Wang Wendu ignored it, grabbed Wang Ping'an's hand, shook it repeatedly, and said loudly: "I have heard of the name of the prince for a long time, but I'm sorry I have never been able to meet you. Tianxun Emperor sent me to patrol the border. We have never met you in Chang'an, but we met you at Yumen Pass. You said it was a coincidence, are you destined to?"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's a bit too much. This kind of intimacy is either asking for something from me or jealous of me!" He smiled and said: "Yes, yes, General Wang and Xiaguan are really destined to be!"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Don't talk about fate for now, come here!" He waved to the two of them, and then he climbed into the car again, squinted his eyes, and looked at the Turks who were crossing the river.

Wang Ping'an and Wang Wendu gave in to each other and came to Fang Xuanling's car. Wang Wendu stood beside the carriage, and a servant came to help him and helped him onto the carriage. Seeing this, Wang Ping'an asked, "General Wang, your legs are inconvenient?"

If Wang Wendu met Wang Ping'an before he was released, he would definitely say that he had a problem with his leg and asked Wang Ping'an to show him. But since Fang Xuanling promised to help him seize Wang Ping'an's military power, his ideas have changed. He doesn't want to owe Wang Ping'an's favors. If he owes him, he would not be embarrassed to steal the military power. Although Wang Wendu's face is thick-skinned, he is not so thick!

Wang Wendu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I've been riding too much on the road, it's a bit numb, it's going to be fine in a while!"

Wang Ping'an said oh, didn't say anything, climbed onto the carriage, stood beside Fang Xuanling, and looked at the Hulu River.

This place is still a distance from the river bank. Standing on the carriage, you can see the Turks crossing the river, and you can see the panoramic view.

Fang Xuanling looked at it for a moment and said, "No disease, there are more than 100,000 Turkic people, so it is really not easy to control it. Thank you for your hard work during this period!"

Fang Xuanling has been in politics for a long time and can be said to be a traitor, and she has slipped to the point of being as good as a loach. There is a huge trap in his words, just waiting for Wang Ping'an to jump in!

Compared with others, Wang Ping'an is much better in terms of human nature, but if he is compared with Fang Xuanling and plays politics with the founding prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he will be far behind.

Fang Xuanling threw Wang Ping'an into a pit with just one sentence! Wang Ping'an nodded immediately and said, "Yes, so many people are all Turkic people. They are very different from the people of the Central Plains in terms of their living habits. Moreover, they are more than half of the elderly and weak, and they lack food and clothing. It is really not easy to rush along the way. Xiaguan feels very powerful and unscrupulous, but for the sake of the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, Xiaguan has been gritting his teeth and finally brought them to Yumen Pass."

This statement is humble, and I do not forget to praise myself. It is considered very appropriate and in line with the consistent style of describing things in the officialdom. Unfortunately, what Fang Xuanling wants to listen to this time is not the consistent style, but only understands it literally!

Fang Xuanling said: "The burden is too heavy, I can see that you feel that you are not strong enough. It is great that you can persist, but diligence alone is not enough to deal with this big thing, and you also need experience!"
Chapter completed!
