Looking at Yang Fan, who was full of energy and like a fish in water, Gongsun Jie's face was gloomy and clear.

The reason why I dared to be so tough to Yang Fan when I met in the morning was actually a gesture.

Because Yang Fan is famous, he wants to enhance his prestige in Tubo by stepping on Yang Fan's reputation.

Only by showing strength can the arrogant soldiers stationed in Tubo be willing to drive themselves.

In fact, Gongsun Jie was so scared that he was dying when he was squeezing Yang Fan, for fear that Yang Fan would start to get angry, so he tied him up and chopped his head regardless of the situation.

However, Yang Fan's ignorance made him even more proud, thinking that Yang Fan was afraid of His Majesty Li Er's will.

No matter what, he was also the general who arranged by His Majesty Li Er to check and balance Li Daozong.

According to the plan, the Southwest Protectorate was set up in Tubo, and only 6,000 soldiers could be left to garrison here.

He and Li Daozong each led a battalion, which was equivalent to restraining each other.

More importantly, before leaving, Zhang Liang asked him to find an opportunity to destroy the strategies formulated by Yang Fan in Tubo.

Once the strategy fails and Tubo rebels again, His Majesty Li Er will definitely take all the blame on Yang Fan. At that time, Yang Fan, the culprit who proposed the strategy, will definitely be to blame.

Since Yang Fan killed Zhang Shen several times, he has become their enemy. Of course, whether it is Zhang Liang or Gongsun Jie, he will not be ruthless.

In his opinion, since Yang Fan's spirit had already been slapped, it is time to win over officials and powerful people from all over Tubo.

Because he knew that his own strength alone could not shake the strategy implemented by Yang Fan in Tubo.

Only by starting from the local forces in Tubo and uniting them with the goal of undermining Li Daozong, the plan could not be implemented smoothly.

Today's banquet is the best time, after all, most of the "upper-level figures" in Tubo gather here.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Jie decided to take the initiative and picked up the wine glass and walked towards the Tubo officials...

For Gongsun Jie, a well-known general of the Tang Dynasty, even though the leaders and officials of Tubo were full of worries, they could only greet him with a smile.

After all, as a garrison general, Gongsun Jie still has to deal with him frequently in the future.

Gongsun Jie looked proud of the Tubo nobles who catered to these incests, which made him feel even more confident. He even happily imagined the majestic scene of waving his hand and pointing his fingers.

Looking at Gongsun Jie who deliberately showed off and even showed off his might like a child, Yang Fan just glanced slightly, but his heart was secretly alert.

This guy obviously wants to get rid of himself quickly. If he leaves him in Tubo, he may have many obstacles to his layout.

But this guy came to his post with Li Daozong, so he had to ask for his opinion first.

There was something in his heart, so Yang Fan certainly didn't want to be sarcastic and empty with these Tubo people. He looked around for a week, but saw Li Daozongzheng and King Li Ke of Wu chuckling and chatting.

Put down the wine glass, turn around and walk towards the two of them...

When he came to the two of them, Yang Fan teased: "The prince will hide from leisure."

Li Daozong smiled narrowly: "Marty Zhongyi is so popular in Tubo, why don't I ask Your Majesty to make Marquis Zhongyi the governor of the Southwest Protectorate?"

"Don't...don't..."

Although he knew that Li Daozong was joking, Yang Fan still smiled bitterly and waved his hands to refuse.

Compared with cities such as Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, Tubo is still a bit bitter and cold.

It’s okay to say that Yang Fan is a little spoiled, but he can’t endure hardship, but he really doesn’t want to continue.

What's more, there is still a large family waiting for him to go back in Chang'an City!

Although he proposed the strategy of assimilating Tubo, Yang Fan really never thought that he would implement it himself.

After all, this is not something that can be achieved in one or two years.

Li Daozong did not continue to joke with Yang Fan, but instead looked at the Tubo officials in the distance and said, "Marquis Zhongyi has left me a problem. These Tubo people are following the trend and seeking profit. I am really afraid that they will disobey the situation."

"The prince is so bad, and the world is bustling with people for profit. These people are not afraid of it, but some people seem to have other intentions!" As he said that, Yang Fan's eyes couldn't help but floated to Gongsun Jie.

I have to admire Gongsun Jie, a kid who was complimenting him with his clever words and delicacies.

Gongsun Jie's nostrils were so arrogant that he looked extremely arrogant.

Maybe Yang Fan's gaze was sensed, or maybe Gongsun Jie was always paying attention to Yang Fan's dynamics.

Seeing Yang Fan looking at him, Gongsun Jie made a provocative mouth, obviously thinking that he had the ability to compete with Yang Fan.

Of course, Li Daozong saw Gongsun Jie's arrogant actions, but he could only smile helplessly: "What can I do about it? I can only take one step at a time."

After saying that, Li Daozong sighed slightly.

Regarding Gongsun Jie, his arrogant behavior along the way has long annoyed Li Daozong.

But Gongsun Jie was sent by His Majesty Li Er, who dares to object?

Of course, it is not that His Majesty Li Er trusts Gongsun Jie and balance is just the emperor's power and tricks.

Li Daozong was originally sent to a prison for being suspicious, so of course he did not dare to complain about His Majesty Li Er's arrangements anymore.

Of course, Yang Fan could see Li Daozong's embarrassment and said meaningfully: "Tubo has just been pacified, and the robbers are tyrannical. It is easy to have accidents if they are too arrogant! What do you think?"

Li Daozong and Li Ke looked at each other, full of horror. They all heard what Yang Fan meant.

Although they didn't like Gongsun Jie's arrogance, at least this guy was the captain whom His Majesty Li Er ordered. If he killed him, it would be too... they dare not think about it any more!

But Li Ke was the first to come back to his senses.

Since hearing what Yang Fan said last time, Li Ke has been very cautious in his words and actions.

But for the benefit of the Tang Empire, Li Ke felt that he could no longer stand by and said loudly: "I think that the Hou Zhongyi is right. Staying in Tubo may be extremely unfavorable to the Tubo layout."

Yang Fan looked at Li Ke with a little surprise, but he did not expect that His Highness, the King of Wu, who was beginning to protect himself, would agree.

If ordinary people hear Yang Fan's words, they will naturally think that Yang Fan wants to revenge on Gongsun Jie's rude confrontation before.

He even thought that Yang Fan wanted to get rid of Gongsun Jie, a guy who was malicious to him, first.

Obviously, Li Ke thought of a deeper meaning, and he was indeed one of the smartest princes.

Of course, Yang Fan spent so much energy, but he didn't want to be easily destroyed by others.

Even if this person was sent by His Majesty Li Er, it would be impossible. As long as you dare to stop his layout, there would be a dead end.

Li Daozong didn't expect Li Ke to agree with Yang Fan's words, but soon nodded gently.

Although Li Daozong has always been cautious and does not fight or rob, he has been tainted by his reputation and has even been demoted and was dismissed from office and given up.

If Yang Fan hadn't pacified Tubo, he wouldn't know when he would have come out of the prison!

He had received the order from His Majesty Li Er to come to serve as the first governor of the Southwest Protectorate. In fact, Li Daozong's psychology was actually a bit resistant.

After all, the Tubo place is too remote and desolate. Even if you are in a high position as governor, you cannot compare to the prosperity of Guanzhong. Who would want to leave your hometown and go to a bitter and cold place to become an official?

He is a man who knows how to judge the situation and is not keen on power. This is why His Majesty Li Er deliberately slandered his reputation and did not resist at all.

In Li Daozong's view, as long as he can accompany his family for a safe life, he will be very content.

However, when His Majesty Li Er took out Yang Fan’s strategic plan for Tubo, Li Daozong suddenly felt that he could not stand idly by.

Even if you are a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, you cannot ignore the achievements left in history books.

In Yang Fan's entire layout, Li Daozong saw the possibility of integrating Tubo.

And once this strategy is successfully implemented, in the future, the entire Tubo will be closely linked to the Tang Dynasty and will obediently become a member of the Tang Dynasty.

Because only the Tang Dynasty can bring wealth, vitality and future to Tubo.

More importantly, this layout is not only suitable for Tubo, but may even be suitable for any bordering country.

Li Daozong was moved to be able to experiment with such a shocking strategy, after all, this incident may leave a strong mark in history books.

Along the way, Gongsun Jie's various behaviors were completely opposite, and Li Daozong naturally couldn't stand this guy.

Now that Yang Fan proposes to get rid of this annoying guy, Li Daozong will certainly not object.

Once Gongsun Jie dies, will no one stop him anymore?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Daozong's mouth.

If Tubo got on track as soon as possible, he could return to Chang'an City one day earlier to reunite with his family.

The three of them worked together and looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had reached a consensus.

The banquet lasted until the evening, which was considered a joy for the guests and hosts. When the song ended, everyone returned home and looked for their mothers.

Li Daozong stayed directly at the temporary garrison beside the palace and went to the military barracks.

Only after Yang Fan and Liu Lan's garrison left Luosie City would they officially take over Tubo's defense.

After all, this time, only 6,000 soldiers were temporarily recruited in Yizhou.

The night was dazed, and Yang Fan, who looked heavy and light, was supported by Wang Xiaojie and returned to the barracks station. As soon as he entered the tent, Yang Fan became cold.

After washing his face with water, he sat on the stool and took a sip of the tea with his cup. Yang Fan then asked leisurely: "How is the investigation?"

Wang Xiaojie reported: "The subordinates sent their personal guards to monitor him. Gongsun Jie was very careful. Even in public, he would follow several personal guards. It was almost impossible to kill him silently."

After saying that, Wang Xiaojie stood aside and waited for Yang Fan's instructions.

Yang Fan put down the teacup, subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, and his mind was running rapidly.

Gongsun Jie looked arrogant and domineering, but he didn't expect to be so careful. It seemed that this person was still somewhat capable.
