God-level Governor of the Tang Dynasty

To be honest, she really cares about Wang Xiu, this kid is responsible and will not let his daughter suffer, this is the most important point.

For the people of Jiaozhou, someone who can fight 20 barbarians with an estimated [-] blood is definitely not bad.

Li Lizhi blushed, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Daughter feels that there is no barrier between getting along with Wang Xiu, as if they should be together by nature, it's very interesting."

The eldest grandson Wugou looked at the eldest daughter meaningfully, this girl is really tempted.

"Shame, shame, sister actually said such a thing, it's really embarrassing." On the other hand, Xiao Si was playing tricks, sticking out his tongue.

Li Lizhi rolled her eyes angrily, and threatened: "Wang Xiu brought you a gift, no matter how shy you are, I will accept it myself, and I won't give it to you little girl."

"Ah, how is this possible?"

The little girl raised her eyebrows immediately, her face was full of reluctance, this is my gift, how could she be embezzled.

The eldest grandson Wugou hugged the little si in his arms, and sighed: "Lizhi, as a royal princess, marriage matters are never in her hands. In fact, the queen mother has always been worried that you will entrust someone to someone else in the end, and you will regret it for the rest of your life in the future."

"Now that you meet Wang Xiu, it may be your destiny. But whether it is a blessing or a curse, it depends on your own choice."

Regarding what her mother said, Li Lizhi took it very seriously. Generally, the princesses of the royal family are married to the sons of important ministers below.

Most of these princesses died in depression, because they couldn't get the love they deserved at all, and they were just passive marriages.

It is already a great blessing for me to meet Wang Xiu.

She nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I believe in my choice!"

"Okay then, the queen mother won't say much, and the queen mother will go back first."

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled, turned around and hugged the naughty little Sizi and left, otherwise this little guy might not be calm today.

……

On the other hand, Li Shimin summoned Wang Xiu alone, but he had many things he wanted to ask Wang Xiu.

"Wang Aiqing, I have been looking forward to you for a long time, and today I finally got my wish." Li Shimin looked at Wang Xiu's appearance, and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

As expected of being his own champion, this is absolutely extraordinary, this temperament is different.

Wang Xiu was touched and said: "The emperor cares about the humble minister so much, the minister is really grateful, the humble minister is really not enough to bother the emperor."

"Hahaha, you deserve it!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, and said directly with a serious face.

He knew the importance of a loyal minister, not to mention that Wang Xiu was not only loyal, but also capable enough to solve many of his troubles.

Based on this point, Li Shimin must also remember Wang Xiu.

"Wang Aiqing, please tell me about the Southwest affairs in detail. Every time I hear about the situation in Jiaozhou, it is shocking. Fortunately, Aiqing is not an ordinary person, otherwise it may be my fault."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin felt a little guilty. His previous arrangement had the feeling of letting Wang Xiu die.

Fortunately, Wang Xiu resisted, otherwise he would have died directly.

The opportunity is coming!

Wang Xiu's heart skipped a beat, this is an opportunity to show off, and he immediately turned into a bitter face.

He hesitated for a moment before smiling wryly: "Your Majesty, Jiaozhou is so poor that it doesn't even have a city wall. For a while, even Linyi dared to attack Jiaozhou, and even reached the Governor's Mansion of Jiaozhou."

"Now Jiaozhou looks powerful, but in fact it's a bit vain, and it's all based on the benefits of my Tang Dynasty weapons."

The meaning is very simple, now my Jiaozhou sounds very powerful, but it is puffy.

"What, that palm-sized country in Linyi dares to offend Jiaozhou, it's simply reckless!" Li Shimin's face changed suddenly, and the anger on his face was going to the sky.

It's okay for the Turkic barbarians to do things in the Tang Dynasty, at least they have strength.

But you dare to do things with Lin Yi's strength, this is too much, this is simply unbearable.

"Your Majesty, now that they have taken refuge in Datang, they have settled down quite a bit. At least they don't dare to attack Jiaozhou on the surface." Wang Xiu said embarrassingly.

"Hmph, that's natural, my Great Tang is not the Southern and Northern Dynasties!"

Li Shimin smiled, and the pride in his eyes was undisguised.

Today's Tang Dynasty is unified, and has just defeated the super enemy Turkic, that is when the fighting power is bursting, and he doesn't care about a Linyi.

However, he was a little worried, and said in a deep voice: "If you are not of my race, you must have a different heart. Although Lin Yi has joined our Tang Dynasty now, it is hard to predict what will happen in the future."

"Throughout history, Linyi Chenla and his ilk are nothing but grass. Once the empire is weakened in the future, they will definitely take advantage of the momentum!"

He has never believed in these alien races, so he has been weakening their strength all the time, just like the Turks have been weakened by most of their strength now.

And because Linyi and Zhenla are too remote, and he can't estimate the places, then he can only give up.

But now with Wang Xiu, it gave him a glimmer of hope, maybe he could suppress these small countries again, lest they mess around.

Li Shimin glanced at Wang Xiu, and said in a deep voice: "Now your Zhennan Metropolitan Mansion is guarding the southwest and controlling the troops of the ten states. Do you have the confidence to suppress Linyi and Zhenla?"

"This..." Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard the words. He did have the confidence, but he couldn't say it.

Li Shimin thought Wang Xiu didn't have confidence, and reprimanded him: "You are the champion of the Tang Dynasty, how can you not have confidence, but you are just a small country the size of two palms. If you can beat Nanzhao to surrender, could it be that you can't beat them?"

Hearing this sentence, Wang Xiu's heart skipped a beat.

This seems to be a reprimand of hating iron but not steel, but Wang Xiu heard something unusual in it, and this may be Li Shimin's temptation.

Thinking of this, he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the Governor's Mansion in Zhennan has just defeated Nanzhao. Although the barbarians have been suppressed, I have also suffered heavy losses in Jiaozhou."

"The town of Chenla is insignificant, but if we suppress them, we will face the army of the Pyu Kingdom, plus the border threat from Tubo..."

The rest of Wang Xiu did not continue, I believe Li Shimin can also understand,

Besides these things, Li Shimin may not be unaware.He has been in Jiaozhou all the time, and he probably knew it well a long time ago. The reason why he asked himself was just to test him.

"Hey, it's useless to try, the pressure from the two countries is not fake, it's all the truth." Wang Xiu smiled inwardly.

Sure enough, after hearing Wang Xiu's words, Li Shimin's face also became serious.

Chapter 238 Aiqing, You Have Made Great Contributions Again

"The Jiaozhou problem is so serious, thanks to you, Aiqing!" Li Shimin couldn't help sighing.

Of course, he was aware of the pressure Wang Xiu mentioned, but he never expected it to be so serious.

In this way, if Datang is not careful, he will face the attack of Pyu and Tubo.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.After all, the barbarians were wiped out. It is impossible for Pyu and Tubo not to be vigilant about such a big matter.

It seems that Jiaozhou can't make big moves, and needs to maintain stability for a period of time.

He secretly decided in his heart that Jiaozhou needed to keep a low profile, at least until Tuyuhun was wiped out.

"Wang Aiqing, after you go back this time, restore the strength of your Vermilion Bird Army as soon as possible, it may be of great use in the future!" Li Shimin ordered.

Wang Xiu shook his head, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Suzaku Army is not mine, but His Majesty's. When I train my troops, I respect the Emperor, and I absolutely dare not surpass them in the slightest."

He is not a fool.

This sentence "your Suzaku army" is a heart-breaking statement, if you admit it, it will be half-hearted.

The governor of a place has an army. It's no wonder that Li Shimin can hold back, maybe he will be taken down at any time.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Wang Xiu's words, Li Shimin was in a good mood, couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't think too much about Aiqing, I definitely believe in you, but how did you think of training soldiers like this?"

The reason why he was relieved that Wang Xiu led one hundred thousand troops was not because of this.

According to the reports of Li Xiaogong, Li Daoxing and others, Wang Xiu emphasized two points during the training.

The army is fighting for the Tang Dynasty, and fighting for his emperor, which is obviously a selfless approach.

Otherwise, this army will only become Wang Xiu's private army.

By doing this, Wang Xiu stamped this army with his mark as the emperor, and he was loyal to him, so he was so relieved of Wang Xiu.

However, if he knew that many of Wang Xiu's troops were rewarded by the system and were 100% loyal, he probably wouldn't think so.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are actually very simple. They all obey the general's orders. This is very bad. It will easily cause these troops to become private troops, which is very detrimental to the stability of the Tang Dynasty."

"In order to prevent this, I directly emphasized from the beginning that this is the emperor's army, this is the army of the Tang Dynasty, and they naturally miss the emperor. Knowing who to fight for and why, they are invincible!"

Wang Xiu said excitedly.

"What an invincible!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but stand up, excitedly said: "Aiqing is worthy of being my champion, such loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, you have made great achievements this time. The army trained in this way must be the most loyal guard of the Tang Dynasty! "

He hadn't been this happy for a long time, because he got an answer from Wang Xiu, an answer to control Datang's army.

The reason why the army was used by people with good intentions, and finally caused a rebellion, was entirely because these troops did not have a monarch in their hearts.

But just like Wang Xiu, if this point is drilled into the bones from the beginning of military training, then it is impossible to rebel.

This trick is really wonderful.

Based on this alone, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Xiu, the champion, should even be a duke.

"Your Majesty, this is just what I thought in my heart, and this is a great achievement?" Wang Xiu pretended to be surprised.

"Of course, I decided to set up a teaching team to be responsible for publicizing this matter, so that all the troops know why they are fighting and who they are fighting for." Li Shimin said excitedly.

puff!

Wang Xiu almost jumped up, because of his own fucking reasons, the position of political commissar came out early.

"Your majesty is really wise, with this move, Datang is as stable as Mount Tai!"

He couldn't stop laughing, this time I'm afraid it was the captain of the local army, and he probably hated himself to the bone.

These people don't have a systematic existence. If they do this, the army will not listen to them, but to Li Shimin.

Who cares, it's fine if you don't die as a fellow Taoist anyway.

"Hahaha, you can talk, kid. Today is probably the day I laugh the most." Li Shimin laughed.

"This is my honor!"

The eunuch Zhang Song on the side couldn't help being stunned. He was in charge of serving Li Shimin. This was the first time he saw Li Shimin so happy. This Wang Xiu was really amazing.

He secretly decided in his heart that he must make friends with Wang Xiu in the future, it must be of great use.

Now the power of their eunuchs has been greatly reduced or even restrained. Li Shimin didn't give them much power at all.

The reason is very simple. Whether it was the eunuch Zhang Rang and others in the Han Dynasty who disrupted the country, or the eunuchs who assisted the prince and the king of Qi to frame Li Shimin during the reign of the emperor, it was a thorn in Li Shimin's heart.

Because of this, life is hard for them.

In many cases, it would be much better if there is a strong foreign aid.

Wang Xiu is undoubtedly the best choice.

Li Shimin didn't notice Zhang Song's thoughts, he looked at Wang Xiu: "Wang Xiu, I have decided to capture Tuyuhun in the future and use it as a stepping stone to attack Tubo, what do you think?"

Wang Xiu nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, the current enemies of the Tang Dynasty are nothing more than Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Goguryeo. The most terrifying of these is Tubo. Their war potential is huge. It is entirely feasible to use Tuyuhun's position to contain them."

"Not bad!"

Li Shimin nodded, and said darkly: "Since hearing what you said, I have had people investigate Tubo carefully. It is indeed developing rapidly, and now it is trying to gain more space for activities through the border."

"After listening to Aiqing's report now, I have assembled an army of [-], and it is right next to Tubo. As long as I adapt to the plateau climate, I will definitely destroy Songtsan Gampo!"

For Tubo, Li Shimin hated him to death, this bastard Songtsan Gampo actually plotted against me, Li Shimin.

The point is that I almost fell for it, which is simply too hateful.

If he gave the weapon technology and cement formula to Tubo, then the future situation is unbelievable. I am afraid that he himself created a strong enemy for Datang.

"Your majesty is wise!" Wang Xiu directly praised him, as expected of Li Shimin, he is so domineering.

"Hahaha, as Aiqing said, Tubo is still developing, but it also shows the gap between them and us. Naturally, this is the best time to mobilize them. After defeating Tuyuhun, I will personally conquer Tubo, and in one fell swoop Destroy Songtsen Gampo!"

Li Shimin is full of pride, and his eyes are shining with fire, which is the fire of ambition in his heart.

Whether it is Tuyuhun or Tubo, they must submit to the iron hoof of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it will be a dead end. I am a man with a champion.

Chapter 239 New and Old Forces, Leaders

Back at Prince Qi's mansion, Wang Xiu found out that Tang Jian was there, and he was still drinking wine leisurely, looking like he was eating and drinking.

To be honest, for Tang Jian, Wang Xiu thought at first that he was a traditional literati, and there were not many ethical and religious clauses.
