"The situation is very unpromising. After the advertisement, Lian Mu's first sentence was, "The king of Xiping County is anti-hearted." ”

As soon as these words came out, even if Li Shen, Ye Ling and Zhao Su were three points drunk, they were also shocked and completely sobered up: "Mr. Lian, this is true"

Lian Mu nodded solemnly, his face sinking like water: "Lian is not an alarmist person. "Of course, there is a little bit of exaggeration that is necessary.

Everyone thought about it carefully, and they didn't think it was strange.

Murong Yun, the king of Xiping County, was the prince of Tuyuhun, a branch of Murong Xianbei, who took root in the Western Regions and was extremely powerful, often harassing the borders of Great Xia. Fortunately, Emperor Taizong was strong, and the first emperor had a discerning eye, and successively sent Wucheng Jungong, Jiang Bai, Su Rui and others through the Western Regions to break through the Tuyuhun and turn this powerful country in the Western Regions into a county in Great Xia.

Although the country is broken, but in the Western Regions, there are few Han people, and they can't kill both Xianbei and Qiang people. If you really do this, you can only provoke the resistance of the Tuyuhun people. Therefore, Daxia played the same game against the Turks again, set up a prince of Tuyuhun as a puppet, made him the king of Xiping County, and secretly supported another prince, and "helped" the king of Xiping County to beat the other party for a few years, accepted the surrender of the other party, and turned around and made the other party the king of Heyuan County.

To put it bluntly, if there was no Great Xia, Murong Yun would not have thought of having the gold and jade he is now in his eight lifetimes, saying that he would be able to dominate the life of a large piece of land. Just because he is not superior in terms of reputation or strength among the brothers, his scheming methods are also mediocre. If Tuyuhun does not lose the country, Murong Yun wants to fight with his brothers, and it is difficult to say whether he can survive or not. But people are often like this, they don't think about how much the other party has given you, they only think about how much the other party hasn't given you, just like this Murong Yun reads;. He didn't feel that Great Xia had made him the king of Xiping County, and he should be grateful, on the contrary, he felt that Great Xia deliberately supported the king of Heyuan County to deal with him too much. He is not willing to be a mere king of Daxia County, there are still a bunch of tigers, leopards and jackals around him, and he still thinks about the time when Tuyuhun was strong, and he is eager to be the king of the Western Regions.

After thinking about these joints clearly, Li Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's really the worst situation."

"If you are prepared, it shouldn't be too bad." Lian Mu said lightly, "As long as you dare to make a decision, no matter how difficult things in this world are, you can find a way out, and it may not be a turning point." ”

He understated it like this, but it made Li Shen, Ye Ling and others have an ominous premonition in their hearts, and Li Shen couldn't help but ask: "What does Mr. mean?"

"Wolves are animals that tend to bully the weak and fear the hard. Read the full text of the latest chapter, let's be more fierce than it. After that, he glanced at Li Shen, his gaze swept over Ye Ling and Zhao Su without a trace, and Fang said leisurely, "When I heard about Liaodong, Jiang Duhu directly made people's heads into mountains, which frightened the Goguryeo people. ”

Ye Ling pondered for a moment, and still said: "Mr. Lian, Anxi and Anbei are slightly different. The power of the Northeast is nothing more than Goguryeo, and further away is Xianbei. It can be said that once Goguryeo surrenders, there will be almost no enemies in the Northeast, and the Western Regions" Speaking of this, he sighed, "There are many small countries in the Western Regions, and the ethnic groups are complex, and the Han people are far less numerous than the Hu people, which is very tricky. Once the Hu people's strong resistance is aroused, I am afraid that there will be chaos between all countries, and it will not be easy to get along. ”

Lian Mu raised his eyebrows: "General Ye's words are wrong, whether it is a Hu person or a Han person, they are all human beings after all." As long as you are human, you can't get rid of human nature, and human nature means that you have weaknesses and traces to follow. If he has a good name, we will give him great fame; If he pursues profit, we will give him a huge benefit that he cannot resist. In this way, although Hu and Han are different and have different positions, they may not be unable to reach a consensus at some point. If the desire is difficult to fill, it can only be replaced, there is always no shortage of smart people in the world, and there is no shortage of greedy people. In my opinion, as long as it doesn't touch their beliefs, it's easy to say. ”

His undisguised directness to people's hearts makes people shudder, but also a little admired. Li Shen didn't show it on his face, but he was a little surprised in his heart, he only felt that this person looked quite like Pei Xi, but it was very different Pei Xi saw through people's hearts, but he was very indifferent, if you don't recruit him, he won't come to provoke you, Lian Mu is different. Lian Mu not only sees through people's hearts, but also likes to play with people's hearts, he regards each of his strategies as works of art, carefully carved, and from time to time he has to enjoy a play, and even show in front of others to show his ability.

Such a person, even if he is inferior to Pei Xi in terms of scheming, must not be taken lightly, and is even more terrible than Pei Xi. At least Pei Xi is still reasonable, although he is talking about his own set of reasoning, even a person like Mu, you don't know when you provoke him, and you don't know how to die when the time comes.

Li Shen pondered for a moment before he said, "In your opinion, who should be sent on this trip?"

When Lian Mu heard this, he laughed loudly: "Du Hu has already understood, why bother asking Lu Xianghou Mansion Although it is not a first-class wealthy family, there are still some in-laws who are still there, giving each other a credit and forming some good fate, it is naturally better than encompassing those poor children." ”

He said the stakes so clearly, and it implied a deep meaning, Li Shen didn't know what to say, he didn't have the heart to support the army and self-respect, and it naturally didn't matter to him who he carried, but he was said by Lian Mu, if he only valued the children of the poor family, he would have other intentions.

Such a person is really prickly and poisonous

Zhao Su, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and said calmly: "Zeng Xian's case caused a great turmoil in the imperial court, and his exile into the army is not only a great luck in misfortune, but also a great misfortune in luck. If it weren't for the fact that there have been too many things in recent years, he would be an insignificant little person, and not being pardoned would be enough to alert Yushi. If you want to make a little more achievements in the Western Regions, it may not cause another wave. ”

Lian Mu smiled faintly and said lightly: "It depends on his ability, if he can really make a career, why not protect him If he can't support the wall, the Western Regions are full of wind and sand, and it is extremely common to lose one or two people." ”

Although he is a weak scholar, the words he says are chilling, and what makes people feel even more palpitating is his attitude, relaxed and freehand, full of indifference to life, and he doesn't feel that it is a big deal to die at all.

If he is used to seeing life and death, such an attitude is fine, but since he met Princess Leping, the journey of life has been very smooth, after meeting Princess Leping, with the temperament of the straw bale princess, it is expected that there will not be many bloody scenes for him to see, but he is such a character, in order to climb up, he doesn't care about the lives of others at all, and he doesn't even hesitate to cover up, because they need his ability.

No wonder Princess Jiangdu secretly instructed herself that she must send guards to keep an eye on Lian Mu, and once the other party may fall into the hands of the enemy, she will definitely kill him at any cost. Such a person, even if he can't be a friend, he must never be an enemy of him.

If Li Shen knew, the same thing, Qin Wan would have instructed Chen Xuan a long time ago. The people of Lijingmen had already mixed in with Lian Mu's guards and servants, and they must have been even more surprised that Qin Wan rarely said the same thing twice, and when she told the two of them, unless she thought that this matter was particularly important, one layer of protection was not enough, and she had to be prepared for both.

There are very few people who can be treated like this by her, and even Mu is proud of this alone.

Li is well aware of Lian Mu's ability, although he feels that his methods are a little excessive, after a few discussions, he is relatively tactful, but the big mold is good. Therefore, it didn't take long for Zeng Xian to be promoted to a general, and with more than 50 people, he was stationed on the border of the power of the king of Xiping County.

Externally, this group of people is here to mediate.

It is true that the Hu people like to hunt, but the pampered nobles will not really go into the cold and wet, full of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains and forests, find themselves uncomfortable, and they can't hunt anything. They like to enclose a piece of land, drive tigers, leopards, foxes, rabbits in, and even have guards to help drive them away, just in such a small place, shooting arrows at prey that has nowhere to escape, so as to show off their "martial arts".

There are only a few good hunting grounds, the east family wants it, the west family does not have it, and the disputes that arise for this are not once or twice, it is common for the guys to fight in groups, and it is not strange to kill a few people.

Generally speaking, only when things get bigger, the Anxi Protectorate will symbolically interfere, and the Hu people, who are usually resigned, are not subject to control, and a few more families turn against each other, and more people die, which is only good for Daxia, there is no harm, there is really no need to send a mediator over, but who let Li Shen reveal the meaning of harmony at the banquet

The tribal leaders saw that Li Shen behaved mildly and elegantly, spoke unhurriedly, and looked kind to everyone. Comparing him with Su Rui and Jiang Bai who he had seen, he felt that Li Shen was more like a scribe than a general, and it was natural to think that the trusted Anxi Dadu Hu was a good-tempered person.

Since he is a good-tempered person, he definitely does not want to have a lot of contact with Han officials when something unpleasant happens under his rule, so he naturally knows their evaluation rules, and sees that the new Anxi Dadu Hu is quite easy to speak, and he turns a blind eye to the so-called "observation" and "mediation".

If Li Shen wanted to garrison troops on the border or on the territory of these leaders, these leaders would definitely not agree. Now it's just a few dozen people, what's the use of a round of random arrows, just go through the motions, if you can, these earth emperors don't want to offend the biggest ruler in the Western Regions. Only Zeng Xian understands that he is shouldering the mission of how to re-educate.

This may be the biggest, last, and only chance of his life
