The moonlight was as usual, and the lights in Fanyang City were bright. An Lushan and Li Bai were still deep in conversation in the study. Outside, the autumn wind blew, bringing a chill, yet it could not disperse the passion and ambition in the hearts of the two men inside.
"Lushan, my brother, our influence in Fanyang is beginning to show, but there are still many challenges we must face together," Li Bai said, his brow furrowed with concern.
An Lushan smiled gently, a glimmer of wisdom in his eyes. "Taibai, my brother, we have come this far together through storms and hardships; what do we have to fear from these challenges ahead? As long as we properly sequence our strategies and initiatives, we will surely turn danger into safety."
"Oh? Does Brother Lushan already have a clever plan?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Li Bai's eyes.
An Lushan nodded slightly and said slowly, "Although we already have a certain strength, in order to establish ourselves on the grand stage of the Tang Dynasty, we still need to rely on external forces. I intend to send someone to persuade the surrounding forces to join me in Fanyang."
"This plan is truly ingenious!" Li Bai exclaimed, "Brother Lushan, you truly have far-reaching vision. However, this persuasion requires someone with eloquence and high intelligence to be competent."
An Lushan pondered for a moment and said, "In Fanyang City, there is a person who is suitable for this task."
"Oh? Who is it?" Li Bai asked curiously.
"This person's surname is Guo, named Ziyi, a fierce general in our army. Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he also has outstanding eloquence and extraordinary intelligence. I have seen him debate with others, his words flowing like a river, engaging in verbal battles with scholars, leaving people in awe," a hint of admiration flashed in An Lushan's eyes.
"Guo Ziyi? I have also heard of this person. He is indeed a rare talent," Li Bai nodded in approval. "When does Lushan plan to send someone to persuade him?"
"We should not delay. Tomorrow, I will have Guo Ziyi set out," An Lushan said decisively.
The next morning, Guo Ziyi set out on the persuasion journey with a personal letter from An Lushan. He first went to the nearby Youzhou and visited the local commander Shi Siming. Shi Siming had doubts about Fanyang City initially, but after hearing Guo Ziyi's impassioned speech, he couldn't help but be impressed by An Lushan and ultimately decided to join Fanyang.
Later, Guo Ziyi went to Bianzhou, Shuozhou, and other places, relying on his wisdom and eloquence to successfully persuade local officials and generals to submit to Fanyang. His persuasive efforts became increasingly successful, and the influence of Fanyang continued to expand.
Several months later, Guo Ziyi returned to Fanyang City with the good news. He reported his achievements to An Lushan and Li Bai, and received high praise from both of them.
"Brother Ziyi, your efforts on this trip are invaluable!" An Lushan stood up and bowed deeply to Guo Ziyi, "Thanks to your hard work, our Fanyang influence has rapidly expanded. You are truly a great asset to Fanyang!"
Guo Ziyi modestly waved his hand, "Lushan brother, you are too kind. I owe my achievements to the wise leadership of Lushan brother and Li Bai brother. I have only done my meager part."
"Ziyi brother is too modest," Li Bai smiled, "Your wisdom and eloquence are a blessing for our Fanyang. In the future, we still need to work together to make Fanyang City even more prosperous and strong."
"Exactly!" An Lushan also smiled, "Now that many allies have joined us in Fanyang, we need to make good use of these resources to jointly defend against external enemies."
"LushanBrother's words are very true," Li Bai nodded, "What should be our next move?"
An Lushan pondered for a moment and said, "First, we need to consolidate our relationships with our allies. We can send messengers to various places to deepen our communication and cooperation with our allies. At the same time, we need to strengthen our own development and enhance the comprehensive strength of Fanyang City."
"In addition, we can also use our resources to develop the economy," Li Bai added, "Only when the economy prospers can our power become more stable."
"Taibai, what you said is absolutely right," nodded An Lushan, "We can encourage farmers to reclaim wasteland to increase food production; at the same time, introduce advanced agricultural technology to improve the quality of crops. In addition, we can vigorously develop handicrafts and commerce to attract more merchants to trade in Fanyang City."
"Good idea!" Guo Ziyi also agreed, "In this way, the economy of Fanyang City will be able to develop rapidly and also enhance our economic strength."
"Then let's proceed with this plan!" An Lushan said decisively, " Taibai and Ziyi, you will be responsible for economic and military affairs respectively. I will fully support your actions!"
So the three of them worked together to promote the development of Fanyang City. With their efforts, the economy of Fanyang City rapidly developed and its military strength greatly increased. At the same time, they also maintained good relations with surrounding forces to jointly resist external invasions.
As time passed, Fanyang City gradually became one of the important powers in the north of the Tang Dynasty. The names of An Lushan, Li Bai, and Guo Ziyi became legendary figures throughout the court and the people. However, they were not satisfied with this and continued to strengthen their own power, constantly expanding their military and economic strength. Because they knew that the real challenge was still waiting for them ahead...
