Chapter 287: Lian Guo is looking for trouble
After the five kings destroyed Hu, they plotted to attack Lian and got the edict of the Son of Heaven, which King Lian did not know, and during the period when Lu Chen led the army to fight in Jingdi, Lian Guo did not stop.
For the Wind King Lu Chen, Wu Jin is definitely very annoying!
When he helped King Zhang to deal with the cold at the beginning, Lu Chen didn't give him any face at all, and now, the people of Zhangdi occupied by Lian Guo have fled from the Wind Country one after another, which makes Lian Wang Wu Jin inevitably hate the Wind Country more and more.
When Lu Chen led the army into the scenic spot, King Lian had the idea of sending troops to attack the wind, but in that situation at that time, he was stopped by the minister of Lian Guo.
His minister told King Lian that now the five kings were expelling Hu Lu from the Huimeng, and if Lian Guo attacked the wind for no reason at this time, he would be blamed by the people of the world, and if he wanted to attack the wind, he must have a good reason.
Therefore, during this period of time, at the junction of Lianguo and Jinzhou, there began to be a succession of life cases, and the people who died were the people of Lianguo, and then, the king of Lian sent an envoy into the wind, saying that the people of Lianguo were grazing horses on the border, but they were killed by the wind people for no reason, and hundreds of people died tragically, and they denounced the wind country! And ask for an account for this!
During Lu Chen's absence, the Wind Country was co-presided over by Xue Huairen and Li Miaocai, and after consulting with many ministers, the two decided to send an official of the Wind Country to Jinzhou to investigate the matter.
At that time, Xue Huairen's first recommendation was Li Gongfu of Nanyang County, and his reason was that in terms of his political achievements, when he was the local county guard, he solved countless cases, was quite smart, and was selfless.
His proposal was supported by many ministers, and the royal court then issued an order for Li Gongfu to enter the Jinzhou border to investigate the case.
In this case, Lian Guo's statement is that the Feng people killed the people of Lianguo at the border for no reason, but after Li Gongfu arrived, he found that it was not the case at all, the people of Jinzhou were mostly the original Zhang people, and the local people were very law-abiding, even if they were doing business, they were also in Longshan, Fengzhou and other places in the hinterland of the Feng Country, and few went to Lian Guo.
And ordinary people, how could they have such means to kill so many people. In the end, Li Gongfu could only go to the Feng Army garrison, in Jinzhou, Lu Chen left 100,000 Long Xiang troops to guard, if it is really as Lian Guo said, then the problem can only lie with the Feng Army.
But the answer Li Gongfu got was that these 100,000 wind troops were strictly disciplined, and if there was no order, they would never leave the camp without authorization, and there would be no time for a large number of soldiers to go out.
After learning about these circumstances, Li Gongfu went to the scene of the crime to personally investigate, peel off the cocoon, and then made a secret visit to the border between the two countries, and after some investigation, he finally came to the conclusion that this bloody case was not committed by the Feng Country.
He immediately sent a letter to the royal court and reported his opinion, but Lian Guo refused to admit it, and insisted that hundreds of people in his country were killed by Fengren for no reason!
On the main hall of the Wind Country, the throne directly above was empty, Li Miaocai and Xue Huairen, as well as many ministers of the Wind Country, argued with the envoy in the hall, and finally, the envoy said:
"If you want to settle this matter, that's fine, the Wind Country must make some compensation to Zhang Guo in order to calm Zhang Guo's anger!"
"What do you mean?" Li Miaocai asked in a condensed voice.
The envoy of Lian Guo tilted his head and said: "Hundreds of people in my Zhang Kingdom died at the hands of the Feng people, for this matter, the Feng Kingdom should compensate Zhang Guo with 1 million taels of gold, 20 million taels of silver, and 8,000 horses of silk......
The reason why he dared to be so arrogant in the Great Hall of the Wind Country was also because Lu Chen was not in the country, if the Wind King was here, how could he dare to speak in such a tone.
And Lian Guo's unreasonable demand, how could Feng Guo agree to it! Although Lu Chen, the Wind King, is not there, but Li Miaocai, Xue Huairen and other ministers are all following Lu Chen all the way to fight and fight the country! They are not the kind of corrupt and cowardly courtiers, so to speak, they also came out of the war!
When the envoy's request was raised, Xue Huairen immediately sneered and said, "Is the envoy making trouble unreasonably!?" ”
"What a vexatious fuss! Could it be that you have killed so many people in our country for no reason, and this matter is settled? How can I explain to the country!? The envoy said in a loud voice.
"This official has already said it! The minister of my Wind Country has gone to the border between the two countries to investigate the matter clearly, and it is not my Wind Country's doing! Let me pay the wind country to the Lian country? It's ridiculous to even make a messenger speak! Xue Huairen said.
"Humph! If the Wind Country refuses to compensate! That country will definitely take measures by force! At that time, the border between the two countries will be full of blood! Don't blame the envoy for not reminding you! Lian Envoy said with a cold snort.
When the ministers of the Wind Country heard this, they all glanced at each other, but Li Miaocai looked at the envoy of the Lian State with cold eyes, and said angrily: "The envoy of the Lian Country said this, do you want to meet each other with swords!?" I can tell you right now! Windy Country, not a penny, will not be lost! ”
In fact, this amount of money is nothing to the current Fengguo, but this is a diplomatic issue between the two countries, in this matter, Xue Huairen and Li Miaocai are very clear that if they really compensate Lianguo for gold and silver, it is not only a shame, but when the king comes back, he will be guilty!
That's all I have to say! Leave! The envoy of Lian Guo threw down a sentence and walked away, relying on the fact that Lu Chen, the king of the wind, was not there, and his attitude was extremely arrogant.
Seeing him leave, all the ministers of the Wind Country in the hall began to talk to each other.
Hubu Shangshu Wang Song said: "Lord Xue, Lord Li, this attitude of the envoy is obviously deliberately looking for fault, I am afraid that the king also saw that my king was not in the country, and wanted to take the opportunity to use troops against our country, in the opinion of the lower officials, now we should mobilize troops and enter the border between the two countries, in case the country suddenly attacked." ”
His words were very reasonable, and when everyone heard this, they all nodded and agreed.
Xue Huairen muttered: "What Lord Wang said is exactly what the official is worried about, but only the king can mobilize my country's central army, and now that the king is not there, I'm afraid it will ......."
Hearing this, Li Miaocai thought for a while and said: "The matter has come to this, in order to prevent the invasion of Lianguo, we can only write a letter to General Wuyue and General Zuo Shuang, asking them to transfer troops into the border." ”
Now the general of the Wind Country, only Wu Yue and Zuo Shuang are still in the country, and the two of them are also in their respective garrisons, but after receiving Li Miaocai's summons, Wu Yue immediately replied to him, in the letter, his attitude was very respectful, and his tone was also very polite, but in the end, he said that the Tiger Ben Army was the only iron cavalry in the Wind Country, and if he wanted to transfer troops, he must get the king's warrant.
Wu Yue didn't dare to transfer troops privately, and Zuo Shuang's reply was similar to him.
After receiving the reply from the two, all the ministers of the Wind Country were dumbfounded. But in such a crisis situation, the king was far away, there was no way, and in the end, Li Miaocai could only go to the queen Xue Ling.
