Chapter 3256 Be wary
Chapter 1,100: Be wary
Not many Hu people can resist the temptation of naturalizing in the Tang Dynasty, let alone declining nobles like Ju Wendou who have been under the oppression of the Turks for many years?
So Ju Wendou had already thought about it, and now that Fang Jun mentioned it, he expressed his loyalty with little hesitation.
Living in Chang'an, the He people can enjoy peace and stability and will not be massacred by the Turks. Furthermore, with the connections of the Ju family in the Western Regions, even if they were naturalized in the Tang Dynasty and moved to Chang'an, they could still do business along the Silk Road and still be wealthy and prosperous, making money every day. What could be more beautiful than this?
Fang Jun raised his glass, clinked it with Ju Wendou and drank it down in one gulp, and then said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, the Tang Dynasty is so powerful that it conquers the world, how can it chill its allies? I will write a letter of resignation right now. , send people back Chang'an, regardless of the success or failure of this battle, the Jingzhao Mansion will prepare for the naturalization of the Ju family. When the Prime Minister submits the name list of the clan to the Jingzhao Mansion, the naturalization documents will be issued. "
Ju Wendou's eyes were bright, and without saying a word, he filled the wine glasses in front of the two of them with a pot, raised his own glass, and said with emotion: "Commander, please just be happy, you are actually the parents of the rebirth of my Ju family! Without further ado, thank you for your kindness. The Ju family will keep this virtue in mind and will not dare to forget it. I will pay it back tenfold in the future!”
He raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. He suddenly felt happy and burst into laughter.
Akagi Hague on the side was envious, and he also knew that it was not Fang Jun who favored one and the other, but that the situations of the two families were completely different.
Although the foundation of the Ju family is still there, in the final analysis, it is just a subjugated clan, and it has been struggling to survive in the cracks of various forces in the Western Region for a long time. The situation is precarious, and it will encounter disaster if it is not careful. Therefore, moving his family to Chang'an would not only gain the gratitude of the Ju family, but would also not cause any hidden worries to the Tang Dynasty.
Akagi Hague's family is different.
As a Uighur noble, with the entire Uighur backing him, he is still the most powerful force in the Western Region after the Turks. How could such a family be easily naturalized in the Tang Dynasty? It should be noted that once successfully naturalized in the Tang Dynasty, everyone will enjoy the same treatment as Tang people. They can be recommended to serve as officials, take imperial examinations, join the army, and have the same political status as Tang people.
Therefore, if Akagi Hague wants to be naturalized in Datang, although Fang Jun can solve it with just one sentence, no one dares to be so rash.
This requires joint liability...
……
Standing at the door of the tent, watching Chimu Haiya and Ju Wendou walk into the wind and snow under the protection of their confidants, and gradually go away, Fang Jun then returned to the tent, sitting behind the table with a golden sword, He was minding his own business and used a silver knife to cut off the leg of lamb grilled on the charcoal pot. Meat, eat a bite of meat, drink a sip of wine, my mind is spinning rapidly, wondering whether there are any risks in this cooperation with Akagi Hague and Ju Wendou, how to proceed, how to deal with the aftermath, and what kind of impact it will have on the situation in the Western Regions. Influence.
Not long after, Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting came in hand in hand.
The two of them had just returned from patrolling the camp. They took off their raincoats and shook the snow off their bodies. Then they came to Fang Jun one after another and bowed to salute.
Fang Jun came back to his senses and waved his hand casually: "Sit down."
"Here!"
The two of them agreed and sat down under Fang Jun, one on the left and the other on the right. Cheng Wuting took over the job of barbecuing, while Pei Xingjian held the pot and poured wine. He drank a glass first, let out a breath of cold air, and then asked: "The commander-in-chief and those two people." How was the discussion? ”
Fang Jun understood what Pei Xingjian meant by asking, shook his head and said: "These two people can believe that Ju Wendou is a noble who lost his country. Although the Ju family still has some heritage in the Western Regions, it is actually difficult to get ahead, especially the Turks who covet their clan. The wealth accumulated over the past hundred years can no longer be accumulated in one day or two, but if there is a chance, the Ju family will definitely be swallowed up with their skin and flesh. There is absolutely no reason to survive. As for Akagi Hague, this old guy is much more cunning. He is best at adapting to the situation and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. However, the one who is actively cooperating with us this time is Uighur Khan Tumidu, Akagi Hague. He just acts as a middleman to make connections and grab some benefits, but he can’t make the decision, so there’s no need to worry about his tricks.”
Pei Xingjian felt relieved.
Since ancient times, no force has ever been able to completely control the Western Region. It is too vast, too remote, and too sparsely populated. Moreover, all tribes of barbarians have always been unruly and disobedient. If there are advantages, everyone will rush forward, and if there are difficulties, everyone will retreat. They are like savages, and it is difficult for civilized society to control them.
Therefore, the Hu people in the Western Regions are all dishonest and have no moral restraint. They only have interests in their eyes. Breaking promises and betrayal are commonplace, and they have no burden at all. When working with someone, the first thing you worry about is not the success or failure of the matter, but whether you will be betrayed halfway...
Seeing that Fang Jun had already considered this issue and was not blinded by his achievements in eliminating all forces in the Western Region, he was completely relieved.
As long as Fang Jun is clear-headed, restrained and calm, any decision he makes can be trusted. Pei Xingjian knows this very well.
Of course, even if sometimes this person seems to have lost his mind and acted arbitrarily, in fact, if you think deeply about the purpose behind his actions, you will often find that there is a very clear purpose hidden, and most of them can hide the truth and get to the point. .
Therefore, the outside world uses the word "stick" to mock Fang Jun's impulsive behavior from time to time. In Pei Xingjian's view, this is simply funny. Those who mock Fang Jun as a "stick" are the real "sticks"...
Pei Xingjian said: "The Uighurs are cunning and have a strong temperament. We can instigate them to fight against the Western Turks, but we cannot seriously hand over the Western Region to their management. Ultimately, they are no different from the Turks. We cannot drive away tigers through the front door and drive away tigers through the back door." Such a stupid thing as welcoming a wolf.”
As an adjutant, it is natural to remind the general at key points and to check for deficiencies.
It is the same for all the Hu people. They admire the Tang Dynasty and lament its power, but they are also wary of the Tang Dynasty, fearing that the Tang Dynasty will become militaristic and expand in all directions. At present, the Uighurs are deeply enslaved by the Turks. Whenever there is a war, the Turks will put the Uighurs in the vanguard and charge into battles, resulting in countless casualties. The Uighur ancestors have been eager to get rid of the enslavement of the Turks for generations.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so Huihe has always been close to Datang over the years.
But it's definitely not really close.
Once the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty join forces to expel all the Turkic forces from the Western Regions, the Uighurs will inevitably replace them. In this way, the Uighurs occupied the current position of the Turks, and their own interests began to conflict with the Tang Dynasty. In a few years, the current hostility between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks would reappear.
Therefore, the Uighurs can take advantage of them, but they cannot be trusted, let alone allow them to replace the Turks.
After all, the Turks originated in the desert of Mobei. Because of their strong power, they entered the Western Regions. However, they have been facing overt and covert resistance from all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and they have never been able to overwhelm all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions. However, the Uighurs have lived in the Western Regions for generations. They are inextricably linked to the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and are even connected by blood.
Once the Uighurs become stronger, the Hu people will accept the Uighurs to a much greater extent than the Turks do today, and it may even be possible to unify the Western Regions...
That is, Youtunwei personally established a strong enemy for Datang. Not only did it hand over the Western Regions, but it also threatened Guanzhong at all times.
Fang Jun nodded: "I understand the importance, but now is not the time to be on guard. Not only must we unite with the Uighurs to cut off the claws of the Turks who penetrate into the Western Regions, but we must also rely on the strength of the Uighurs to deal with the swarming Arabs. We must Give me some sweetness, otherwise who will work for you?”
Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "I just want to remind you that the choice will be decided by the commander-in-chief. No matter what decision the commander-in-chief makes, the right guards will follow them to the death without any second thoughts!"
Cheng Wuting also nodded and said: "Commander, don't worry, that guy who holds the ball dares to be half-hearted, and I will be the first to pluck his head off!"
Pei Xingjian: "..."
Although these words were spoken according to my words, why did they sound directed at me?
Immediately he said angrily: "Let's roast your meat raw. The foam is spitting out. How can the commander eat meat?"
Cheng Wuting quickly shut up and continued to roast the meat.
In fact, without him saying that, no one in the Youtun Guards dared to disobey Fang Jun's order. The overthrow of Xue Yantuo, the defeat of Tuyuhun, and the successive victories shocked the world. Now they are even known as "the most powerful army in the world." Which soldier of Youtun Guards is not proud and confident, and which one does not sincerely admire Fang Jun? Take his every word as a guideline?
The power of the army is gained by winning battles one after another.
The prestige of a coach is also gained by leading his soldiers in battle after battle, and there is absolutely no trickery. (End of chapter)
