The moonlight is hazy, with Fanyang City in the background. An Lushan and Li Bai stand side by side, gazing at the vast wilderness in the distance. The night wind brushes past, their robes fluttering, and their figures appear particularly upright in the moonlight. "Brother Lushan, the strategy of 'murder with a borrowed knife' this time is truly ingenious," Li Bai sighs lightly, his eyes full of admiration. An Lushan smiles slightly, a confident curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Brother Taibai, you flatter me. It's just a matter of taking advantage of the situation, using the hands of Wang Fu and Zhao Gao to eliminate the hidden dangers of the court."
"However, this is not a long-term solution," Li Bai furrowed his brow and said with a worried expression, "The power struggle within the court is treacherous, and Dissident is hard to eliminate. We must strengthen our own power in order to stand undefeated."
An Lushan nodded in agreement, "Brother Taibai speaks the truth. Fanyang is our foundation, and we must turn it into an impregnable fortress to resist external enemies."
"In your opinion, Brother Lushan, how should we proceed?" asked Li Bai.
An Lushan pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, "First, we need to strengthen our military and train elite soldiers. Only a powerful army can ensure our safety."
"Second, we need to recruit talents and attract capable individuals from all over the world to serve us," An Lushan continued, "Whether civil officials or military commanders, as long as they have real talent and learning, we should treat them with great respect."
"Good idea!" Li Bai's eyes flashed with a hint of approval, "So, Lushan brother, do you have any specific plans?"
An Lushan smiled faintly, with a sharp gleam in his eyes. "I have already made up my mind. First, we can establish a Recruitment Hall to gather talents from all over the world. At the same time, we need to strengthen the training of the army and improve its combat effectiveness."
"Furthermore, we can also utilize our resources to develop the economy," An Lushan continued, "Only when the economy prospers, can our power become more stable."
"Lushan brother, you have indeed thought it through," Li Bai exclaimed, "Then I will leave this matter to you. I will fully support your actions."
Under the leadership of An Lushan, Fanyang City began a series of reforms. The establishment of the Recruitment Hall soon attracted many talented individuals. Among them were literati with extensive knowledge, skilled warriors, and craftsmen proficient in agriculture and handicrafts. Their arrival injected new vitality into Fanyang City.
At the same time, An Lushan strengthened the training of the army. He personally selected a group of elite soldiers for rigorous training. Under An Lushan's guidance, these soldiers not only greatly improved their combat effectiveness but also learned various tactics and strategies, becoming Fanyang City's strongest defense line.
In terms of the economy, An Lushan also implemented a series of measures. He encouraged farmers to cultivate new land and grow crops, while also introducing advanced agricultural techniques to increase crop yields. Additionally, he vigorously developed handicrafts and commerce, leading to the gradual prosperity of Fanyang City's economy.
As Fanyang City continues to grow and develop, the influence of An Lushan is gradually spreading. Officials and people from surrounding areas are coming to seek refuge and protection, and An Lushan generously accepts them, providing a safe and stable living environment.
However, An Lushan is not satisfied with this. He knows that in order to establish himself in the vast empire of the Tang Dynasty, he needs to exert more effort. Therefore, he continues to strengthen his power, constantly expanding his military and economic strength.
In this process, Li Bai also plays a significant role. Not only does he help An Lushan plan many clever strategies, but he also uses his connections in the court to secure more resources and support for Fanyang City. The seamless cooperation between the two has led to the rapid expansion of Fanyang City's influence.
As time passed, Fanyang City gradually became one of the important powers in the north during the Tang Dynasty. The names of An Lushan and Li Bai also became legendary figures among the people. However, they knew that this was only the beginning, and the real challenges were still waiting for them ahead...
