Chapter 943 The Turks are here

On the tenth day of December, at night, Anzhou.

Although the negotiations between Li Zixiong, Yuan An, Ashina Hanhai and Li Hun ended unhappily, they did not have any results and roughly understood the bottom line in the Great Wall.

The conditions proposed by Li Hun were almost the same as those expected by the General Administration of the Alliance. After all, there are too many precedents of such requisitions, and the requirements of Zhongtu for vassals have always been ruled. For example, loose alliances composed of Han and Northeast, such as Anzhou and Northeast, are composed of the Han and Captains. Because of their limited comprehensive strength, their status and treatment are very different from those of the vassal states at the level of royal ranks.

After Li Hun returned to the office, Li Zixiong summoned the main officials of the General Administration overnight to discuss the conditions for recruitment proposed by Li Hun.

The conditions of the two sides are too big. Anzhou wants the autonomy of Anzhou and Northeast, which is actually a separatist rule of the vassal states and an independent small kingdom. Ashnaduer wants to call Khan in the east, which actually strives for the full support of Zhongtu to the greatest extent. In short, the Han Dynasty's goal is to strengthen itself with the power of Zhongtu, and they are trying every means to calculate Zhongtu. However, how could Zhongtu have the plan? Even if Zhongtu incorporates Anzhou and Northeast into the Central Plains and builds the martial arts of expanding territory, and can also use this active defense measure to effectively promote the development of the situation in the north and south in a direction that is conducive to Zhongtu, Zhongtu will not violate its own principles, will not damage its foundation for narrow interests, and will not deviate from the centralized path and repeat the mistakes of separatism and division. Therefore, Li Hun's requirements were very low, giving Anzhou a general manager and a governor of the Northeast, and not thinking about any autonomy or Khan.

When Li Zixiong mentioned the negotiation situation, all the senior officials of the General Administration Office sneered at it. Although they had expected that Middle-earth was arrogant and arrogant, and they were fearless because they had grasped the "critical points" of Anzhou, the "price" was so low that one general manager and the other governor wanted to take Anzhou and Northeast China, making money, which still disappointed everyone and was very angry.

After discussion, everyone still insisted on the established decision. The bottom line of the alliance is the autonomy of Anzhou and Northeast. This bottom line cannot be given up. Once it is given up, giving up the autonomy of Anzhou and Northeast is equivalent to handing over all the military, political and financial powers of the alliance. The result is that people are the slaughter and I am the fish and meat, and the consequences are unimaginable. At that time, don’t say that Li Fengyun and the grassroots generals of the alliance may be settled by the official future. Even the invasive nobles such as Li Zixiong and Han Shiyan will not be able to escape the death robbery, and they may eventually be in a different place or even in a dead place.

As for how to uphold autonomy and how to use it, after the administrative divisions of counties, the general manager directly under the central government took charge of military and political affairs, had part of the military and political power, or surrendered to Middle-earth in the form of a vassal state, and had military and financial power completely independent of the central government, it is impossible to make a conclusion yet. Only by making the final decision based on the development process of the negotiation and the degree of compromise within the Great Wall.

In fact, Li Fengyun had made the final decision to establish the Andong Protectorate in Anzhou and the northeast, with four governors' offices under his jurisdiction, among which the Andong Protectorate was directly under the central government, while the four governors' offices under his jurisdiction were autonomous by Han, Turks, Xi, Khitan and Wu, and had relatively independent military, political and financial powers.

This is obviously a flexible strategy. Although the administrative divisions of counties were not implemented, it was directly led by the central government. The Andong Protectorate was the highest leadership body sent by the central government to Anzhou and Northeast China. In this way, Anzhou and Northeast were actually included in the Central Plains. At the same time, this strategy also took into account the autonomy of various ethnic groups. In fact, it was decentralized to preserve the autonomy of Anzhou and Northeast China in disguise. As long as the four governors' offices were embraced into a group, the Andong Protectorate was "emptied". Of course, the premise of "emptied" is that the Andong Protectorate does not have a strong army that is enough to deter various tribes, so as long as the Andong Protectorate has a strong army and strong strength, it can actually control this area.

Li Fengyun tried his best to maximize the interests in this return. He considered all aspects of this situation and did his best to take into account the interests of all parties. However, the idea was good and the implementation was too difficult. Because of this, this is the highest secret of the alliance and cannot be disclosed no matter what. At present, the insiders in Fangcheng are only Li Zixiong, Yuan An, Xiao Yi and Ashinahanhai. The rest of the world do not know the bottom line set by the alliance in this return negotiation.

The four insiders had different moods. Yuan An and Xiao Yi were bound to win, and Asuna Hanhai also went all out, but Li Zixiong was worried.

Li Fengyun entrusts the return negotiations to Li Zixiong. He seems to believe in Li Zixiong, but in fact he is confident and confident in winning. He is not afraid that the return negotiations will deviate from the established track under the auspices of Li Zixiong. The reason is nothing special. Even though Li Zixiong is selfish and tries to use the return of Anzhou and Northeast to exchange for the forgiveness of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, and to exchange for his prominent reputation and the shade of his descendants. But in fact, he is a head-shaving person and is purely wishful thinking. His situation and Yu Rou

The situations of Pei Shuang, Lai Yuan, Zheng Yan and others are very different. He is a stubborn conservative and powerful, a political enemy of the Saint Lord and the Reformers. Yu Rou and others are supporters of the Saint Lord. They were deliberately "pulled into the water" after being captured by Yang Xuangan. They were used to sow discord, shake the morale of the army, and slap the Saint Lord and the Reformers. They are victims and victims of political struggles. Therefore, after the Saint Lord obtained the martial arts of Kaijiang, he would definitely pardon Yu Rou and others, but would not pardon the real rebellion of Li Zixiong, Han Shiye and others.

Facts have proved that Li Fengyun's judgment is very correct.

Judging from the Holy Lord’s establishment of the Andong Duwei Mansion and the appointment of Li Pingyuan as the first Andong Duwei, and Li Hun took the initiative to go out of seclusion to seek pacification, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee did have the sincerity to recruit pacify, but judging from the conditions for recruiting pacification by Li Hun, this sincerity is only aimed at the grassroots forces of the alliance headed by Li Fengyun.

The normal rank of the Anzhou general manager should be the fourth rank, equivalent to the Wu Ben Lang General of the Central County Prefecture or the Wei Ben Lang General in the Weifu. In special circumstances, this rank can reach the third rank. Of course, compared with the third rank of the ministers of the Shangshu Province, the generals of the Weifu, and the prefect of the Shangjun County, the power gap is too great, but it is enough to satisfy the grassroots heroes. After all, Li Fengyun's official position has great power, and their subordinates have also risen. They can completely bid farewell to the humble identity of the past, and from then on they have entered the real bureaucratic and aristocratic class, and can glorify their ancestors.

However, what status did the invading nobles like Li Zixiong and Han Shiyan have in the past? With the martial arts of opening the border, even if they have lost their merits and demerits, they should be pardoned by the Holy Lord and the Central Committee? They were personally pardoned, and the families and families who were implicated in them were of course rehabilitated, and the glory and wealth enjoyed by the family and the family were restored. This is an important reason why they returned to Middle-earth at all costs. However, there was only one object that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee recruited, and they deliberately put them in.

The rebels who went out of the border treated as a whole, and there was no distinction between grassroots and nobles in distress. In this way, there were so many benefits to recruit and were not enough to share. More importantly, the contributions to the development of Xinjiang were mainly owned by grassroots and nobles. Grassroots and nobles in distress could only drink soup. The final result can be imagined that they can definitely forgive themselves, and their families and families will be rehabilitated, but the glory and wealth of the past will never come back, and the family will decline rapidly or even lose.

In other words, the Holy Lord and the Reformers have decided to place a group of political enemies, including Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan and other groups, and their families to death. As for Yu Rou, Pei Shuang, Lai Yuan, Zheng Yan and others, they and their families are originally supporters of the Holy Lord, so this disaster is limited to them and does not harm their parents, wives, children and the entire family. Yu Shiji, the Inner Historian, the Censor, Pei Yun, the Right Guard General, Lai Hu'er, and Zheng Shanguo, the Dali Temple Minister, is still at the center and is trusted by the Holy Lord. Therefore, as long as they are personally pardoned, the disaster will pass. The opportunity in the future will still rise to the top.

It is not difficult to see from this that if Anzhou accepted the conditions for revenge proposed by Li Hun, the glimmer of luck and hope that Li Zixiong would be completely shattered, so he had no choice but to choose Li Fengyun's countermeasures. Only by using this negotiation to strengthen the alliance to the greatest extent and strive to make achievements in the upcoming Civil War can he continue to maintain his glimmer of luck and hope, and he can return to Middle-earth with glory.

After the senior officials of the General Administration formulated specific countermeasures for the negotiation conditions proposed by Li Hun, Li Zixiong was about to announce the end of the discussion when suddenly a subordinate came in a hurry and handed over an urgent document from the ghost side.

Li Zixiong was secretly surprised, worried that there would be changes in the pine forest on the flat ground. Once Chijishi Ashinadua and the Turkic army with the Southeast Teeth Banner of Chiji launched another attack, the Taoshui defense line could not be stopped at all, and the ghost side would fall into a war again, which would surely destroy the good situation in front of him and cast a thick shadow on the return negotiations.

Yuan An, Xiao Yi, Kong Yingda and other senior executives of the General Administration also had the same concerns. In fact, since the independent forces invaded the Ruoluo River, what they were most worried about was the flat pine forests and the safety of the ghost side. So when Li Zixiong was reading the urgent matter, everyone's eyes were staring at Li Zixiong, trying to estimate the quality of the news he guessed from the subtle changes in his expression.

Li Zixiong's grim face gradually soothed, and a comfortable smile slowly appeared on his old and haggard face.

Yuan An, Xiao Yi and others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Ming Gong, what good news is there in Guifang?" Yuan Anfu asked.

Li Zixiong put down his urgent matter, looked up at everyone, and suddenly laughed, "The Turkic people are here."

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled. Since it was good news, why did they say that the Turks were coming? Is it better for the Turks to be in a big army?

Yuan An thought of something lightning, suddenly thought of it, and asked in surprise, "The Turks are coming to Anzhou for negotiations?"

Li Zixiong smiled and nodded, "The Turkic people are here, they are coming so fast."

Everyone suddenly realized and was overjoyed. The atmosphere in the lobby changed suddenly, and even excited people even cheered and applauded.
