Chapter 231: China Has Become the Biggest Loser
On the other side, in addition to the secret agents who had to stay, Shi Qingyi evacuated all the other people from Li Shimin's personal soldiers, and gathered together with Xue Wanche's army, Xue Wanche immediately rushed to meet Shi Qingyi, although in terms of words, this supposedly bold and reckless fierce general did not have any abnormal appearance, however, Shi Qingyi saw that his eyes were flickering, obviously not as clumsy as the rumors said, "Is it doubtful about your identity?" Shi Qingyi said in his heart, "However, the legendary Princess Qin has always been weak and sickly, so she often doesn't see outsiders, and even if Xue Wanche has doubts, he doesn't dare to connect two people who are so different." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji did not return to the city, but returned to the military formation, and then, they have been waiting for the Longquan soldiers and civilians to gradually leave the city, when everyone has decided to leave, with an order, the Turks rushed into an empty city like the wind, and then, began a very organized and planned raid.
Shi Qingyi is also the first time to witness how the nomads on the grassland loot wealth, that, it can be called the artistic realm of scraping the ground, there is no doubt that although the soldiers and civilians in Longquan City chose to surrender and give up resistance, however, hiding their wealth from the Turks is still a way they can do to block the Turks, however, it seems that it is useless at all, and it did not wait for the Turkic cavalry to enter the city for long, Seeing that these soldiers had been transporting the wealth of the city out of the city one after another, such a scene like flowing water, Shi Qingyi from the Central Plains was immediately dizzying: "It is really worthy of being a grassland people who will rob by birth!" Shi Qingyi sighed. And the face of the eldest grandson Wuji next to her became more and more ugly as the wealth outside the city accumulated: "It's really hateful, obviously the Turks have done nothing." But you got such a large fortune out of thin air, sister, you fought for life and death in the city, but only got a funeral fee and military expenses! Hmph, really, really, unreasonable! The eldest grandson Wuji looked angry, but he also understood it in his heart. The Turks are strong and their own side is weak, and it is already the best result to be able to win a sum of compensation, and if they finally turn against the Turks because of money, there is no doubt that their side will suffer a big loss.
Listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Shi Qingyi's face seemed to be smiling, but in her heart, she was sighing, in fact. Li Tang is still good, at least he has gained something, in contrast, Dou Jiande did not hesitate to suspend the war with Luo Yi for the benefit of the merchants under his rule, and as a result, he only recovered the losses of the merchants, and Kou Zhongjiu's death was only to recover Zhai Jiao's sheepskin. plus two batches of weapons, the worst of which was the Lingnan Song Valve in the south. Song Shidao, the young master of the Song valve, just came to see the customs and customs, and congratulated Bai Ziting on the founding of the country, however, he was also captured by Bai Ziting because of Kou Zhong's relationship and became a prisoner, although he also received a compensation fee at this time. However, it is an indisputable fact that the face of the Lingnan Song valve has been greatly damaged because of this.
What is this, has China become the biggest loser? Shi Qingyi laughed at himself in his heart, but this was also the reason why the shape was stronger than people, and the divided land of China could not work together to fight against the overlord of the grassland. If China is unified, even if this is the home of the Turks, who are the overlords of the steppe, there will naturally be people who will make them look good!
Shi Qingyi looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a meaningful gaze: "I'm sorry, brother, in fact, in the negotiation of Fang Cai, I took advantage of your character weakness!" She said. The eldest grandson Wuji has actually never noticed that he himself is actually a person who is not good at hiding his thoughts, and because of this, others can easily see the true thoughts in his heart from his face, so Shi Qingyi only said half of the conversation, so that the eldest grandson Wuji went out of the city with Kou Zhong with his resentment towards Kou Zhong, so that Jieli could easily see the contradictions between the two sides, a temporary ally, so that Jieli would be at ease, and it would be easy to agree to Kou Zhong's conditions, in order to let Kou Zhong return to the Central Plains as soon as possible. Then, go to resist Li Shimin's sharpness.
"Jieli will definitely not let Kou Zhong die, in order to be able to let Kou Zhong block the King of Qin in the next unification war in the Central Plains, even if Kou Zhong puts forward harsh conditions, Jieli may not be able to agree, after all, the past experience is still vivid, Jieli absolutely knows that once the Central Plains are unified and become a complete empire, it will be a catastrophe for them!"
Shi Qingyi's words are true, in fact, a complete and unified Central Plains civilization has always been able to completely suppress the peoples on the grassland, in the history of the grassland for more than 3,000 years, except for the Huns, there is no grassland civilization that can do it against the complete Chinese civilization, whether it is Rouran, or Turkic! Therefore, the Turks must have tried to prevent the reunification of the Central Plains civilization, no matter what the cost.
It is just that the land of China is divided, but Li Shimin, the king of Qin in Li Tang, is such a strong opponent, whether it is in the Western Qin battle against Xue Ju, or in the battle of Baibi that just ended not long ago, the military god-like ability he showed made all his potential enemies, whether Hu Han or Hu Han are greatly frightened, and therefore, the Turks will spare no effort to win over and show otherworldly military capabilities, and he is almost the only Kou Zhong who can confront Li Shimin militarily. He even spared the Sumo people who had previously challenged the hegemony of the Turkic steppe for this reason. And it is precisely for this reason that the former Changsun Wuji said that if he tried to kill Kou Zhong by cooperating with the Turks, it was actually not feasible from the beginning, on the contrary, if the eldest grandson Wuji really found the Turks to discuss this matter, the Turks would instead sell the eldest grandson Wuji to Kou Zhong because they wanted to curry favor with Kou Zhong, and the final result was very likely to become Kou Zhong and the Turks uniting and then strangling their Li Tang forces, Shi Qingyi didn't think that in that case, In addition to escaping for his life, he can still take care of the life of the eldest grandson Wuji, and it is estimated that he can only say apologetically: "Brother, ask for more blessings!" After that, Shi Qingyi was really powerless.
What's more, the army that Shi Qingyi can rely on at this time comes from Luo Yi in Youzhou, and Luo Yi is only subservient to Li Tang above the name at this time, and his power is not controlled by Li Tang at all, the reason why Luo Yi will take refuge in Li Tang is just because he saw that Li Tang's development momentum was good in the past, and he wanted to take a ride, if it wasn't for Li Shimin's two efforts to turn the tide and defeat the strong enemy, and the world was powerful, whether it was Xue Ju in the past, or the current Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou, Luo Yi's loyalty would immediately become a big problem. Not to mention that because he is on the border, Luo Yi has long been in a relationship with the Turks, and there is no problem in fighting a dozen other grassland tribes, once he confronts the Turks for any reason, not to mention the attitude of Luo Yi who is far away in Youzhou, that is, Xue Wanche, who is the general of the army at this time, can immediately turn from his own people into a terrible enemy for his own interests.
"If we turn against the Turks for this, it is estimated that we will only have to rely on our own more than 100 people to escape, you say that at that time, are you afraid! Afraid or not!! After telling the eldest grandson Wuji all these powerful relationships, Shi Qingyi suddenly asked the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile. And the eldest grandson Wuji scolded fiercely, and then, angry and helpless, fell silent.
Shi Qingyi set her eyes on the Turkic cavalry who were working hard to harvest the harvest, but her mind was not on the wealth that was transported out of the city, but on the iron box placed on her back at this time, this iron box was originally a box containing the overlord bow, but at this time, in addition to the overlord bow, there was another thing in it - it was the thing that Bai Ziting had asked his cronies to give to Shi Qingyi before he committed suicide.
Perhaps, Shi Qingyi is really a master who can't rub the sand in her eyes, and it is precisely because of this that she did not directly kill a series of important criminals such as Bai Ziting and Fu Nantuo after roughly knowing the truth of Li Xiuning's death, but she had to get all the information, so she did not hesitate to temporarily let go of Bai Ziting's life, just to not let go of anyone who had participated in this matter, and now, Shi Qingyi finally got her wish, because she was about to return to the Central Plains soon, therefore, Of course, the matter of chasing the murderer outside the plug can only be handed over to the secret agents and other people buried before, and they will complete it, this process is likely to take a long time, but Shi Qingyi feels that it is worth it, because the killing of people like a quick knife can certainly make people fearful, but there will always be innocent unjust deaths and fish that slip through the net, the former creates grievances and hatred, while the latter will have a fluke mentality, and no matter which one it is, there is no doubt that it will cause big trouble in the future.
Similarly, if it weren't for this detailed information from Bai Ziting, Shi Qingyi would not have known that in the cause of Li Xiuning's death, even Gao Jianwu, the king of Goryeo, and the general Quan Gai Suwen were implicated, and the purpose of the two was to plan to estranged Bai Ziting from the various forces that had seized China, and then firmly tied to the interests of Goryeo. Of course, although the Goryeo people are vicious, they play a really small role in this matter, and the real culprit of Li Xiuning's death is still the Da Ming Zun Sect and the people of Funanda!
In fact, it is possible to deduce the intricate network of relationships between the various forces in this northern land, and from this point of view, the value of this information is actually priceless. Shi Qingyi said in his heart. However, will anyone use such a thing exchanged for Li Xiuning's life one day in the future? (To be continued......)
