This person had been thoroughly investigated earlier. In addition to wanting a chance to show off, his biggest hobby was women. So Li Xiang told his subordinates to pick a few beautiful women who could serve others from the areas we occupied, and give them to this guy.
Li Xiang's idea was very simple. He used this method to constantly erode his will. As long as you stay in the land of comfort, we will be in charge of everything. When you want to come out one day, the world will have changed.
Wadahan also knew what Li Xiang was thinking. This was the third gift he had received, but his willpower was not that strong. Whenever he saw these beauties, he wanted to put everything out of his mind and go to the harem to do what he liked. So when he saw these women, that silly expression appeared on his face again.
Xiao Shougui looked at the scene with some disgust, then strode out of the palace.
The guards beside him hurriedly led the carriage over. If it were in the palace of the Tang Dynasty, let alone someone of his level, even someone of Li Xiang's level would not be able to ride in a carriage in the palace.
But this is Gaochang, just one of our occupied territories. Do we really have to treat them according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty? Do they deserve it?
"How's the palace guards' investigation going? This is the only army we can't control in the royal city. Although they're small in number, I see they're all very strong. If anything goes wrong, they could cause us considerable damage."
The one who drives the carriage for Xiao Shougui is Hu Er. This guy is responsible for everything around him. Xiao Shougui was skeptical about this guy at the beginning. After half a month of getting along with him, he found that no matter what kind of requirements he made, this guy could complete them with quality and quantity. Of course, there were times when they could not be completed, but he would tell you in advance.
"In reply to your question, sir, there are a total of 450 palace guards, usually divided into two shifts, with a reserve force of over 100. They are all descendants of the Wang family of Gaochang, and some are selected from the people. After this incident, they are all very confused, so I took the opportunity to squeeze in more than 20 people. Although I can't control them at the moment, at least I know everyone's movements."
Hearing Hu Er's words, Xiao Shougui nodded. When he came to the northwest before, he didn't know what he could do, but after occupying Gaochang, Li Xiang gave him a new task, which was to control Wadahan in all aspects.
At that time, Xiao Shougui also gave Li Xiang some advice. If we want to firmly control the entire Gaochang, we cannot choose Wadahan as king. We can choose some younger princes, so that it will be easier for us to control them.
But Li Xiang also considered many aspects. Those young princes did not pose any danger to the common people. If they were pushed up, it might cause more trouble. It would be better to push Wadahan up. But this man is ambitious, so we are responsible for formulating various plans to destroy this guy's ambition.
Xiao Shougui's task is to make sure Wadahan enjoys life every day and never remember that he is still a king.
"Continue to infiltrate, at least one-third of the way inside. Of course, this time can be extended, but you must not forget that although Wadahan may appear to be obedient to us, after observing him for the past few days, he is definitely a character."
Xiao Shougui's ability also made the people below admire him. What he said would basically become reality, so these people immediately wrote it down. In the next period of time, they would continue to infiltrate the palace guards. Even if there was no way to plant people in, we had to bribe some important people inside.
The carriage soon arrived at the Tang Dynasty Guild Hall. It had existed before, but was later temporarily requisitioned. Su Dingfang was already waiting inside. The two of them were now one civil and one military, and they would exchange some information about each other in the evening.
It is not an easy task to annex a country in a short period of time. During the work in the past half month, both of them felt deep pressure. Although they thought it was a matter of course at first, when it really happened, they realized how chaotic it was.
Xiao Shougui talked about Wadahan's situation and it seemed that he would not be able to cause any trouble.
But Su Dingfang was in a bit of a dilemma. There were a total of more than 20,000 troops in Wangcheng. Now Li Xiang asked them to reorganize all these troops. This was not a small workload. We only had a few thousand people here, so the reorganization work was a bit difficult.
However, Su Dingfang has already made a plan to kick out all the bachelors here first. If one of these bachelors is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry. If they have the intention to resist, we will definitely suffer.
The rest of them all have families and jobs, so there is no need to worry about them doing bad things. Their families still want to continue living, so considering the life and death of their families, they will do whatever the Tang Dynasty court asks them to do.
"We have sorted things out here. I wonder how things are going over there, His Highness?"
Xiao Shougui said with some concern that there would definitely be no problem on the western border, and Li Xiang was very capable, but what about the Western Regions coalition forces outside the border? They should know the situation in Gaochang now. Would these people become desperate and attack us before we have a firm foothold?
"Don't worry about those things. Your Highness alone is worth a hundred thousand troops over there. If the Western Region coalition forces take this opportunity to attack, I guarantee they will be the ones who suffer. Although there was a coup, our military strength has not declined much."
Su Dingfang had absolute trust in Li Xiang. After listening to Su Dingfang's words, Xiao Shougui nodded. Although many people died in this military coup, most of them were from Gaochang, and our people did not suffer much damage.
If the Western Regions coalition forces think this is an opportunity, then they have really found the worst opportunity in the world. The Tang army has already made preparations. While dealing with the Gaochang army, they can also defend the border line. This is the strength of the Tang army. If you are not convinced, come and fight. There is no guarantee that your head will be intact.
