Chapter 605: Against Xue Yantuo (5)
Ling Jing's words just reached Li Jiancheng's heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Now, since Ling Jing can say such a plan, it means that Ling Jing must have a reliable plan in his heart.
"Ling Aiqing! Tell us what you think. ”
"Your Majesty, now that the Xue Yanta Khanate Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan has asked His Majesty for marriage, it proves that Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan must have encountered some troubles in his Khanate, and it is difficult to solve them. Therefore, he took advantage of the opportunity to make peace with His Majesty to ease the contradictions within his khanate. Li Jiancheng nodded. I was full of appreciation for Ling Jing in my heart - he was worthy of being Dou Jiande's first think tank, and his eyes were poisonous!
"Ling Aiqing, what you said is right, in order to weaken Xue Yantuo's overall strength, I decreed that the eldest son of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan, and the third son, Tu Li, became a little khan, but I have already received definite news, although Xue Yantuo Khanate Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan canonized Lu Mang and Tu Li Loss, but he has always kept Lu Mang and Tu Li Loss by his side and has always refused to let them go. Because, both Trollmang and Tuli lost their hands and had strong maternal forces, and once they were released, it might lead to a new battle for the throne of the Xueyanta Khanate. Therefore, today Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan sent Reckless over, on the one hand, it may be because Reckless has been sent to Chang'an, and he has something to do with me, and he feels that if he comes forward, he can achieve Yi Nan's wish, and on the other hand, he can transfer Reckless away, so that he can reduce his own pressure. ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Li Jiancheng smiled:
"Ling Jing! Now tell me about your plan. ”
"Your Majesty! The minister has already said that His Majesty can first use the fact that His Majesty's daughter is still young enough to marry, and can only delay the time by selecting the daughters of the kings of the imperial court. Second, Your Majesty can make a fuss about etiquette and family affection. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a custom that the woman sent her relatives for 500 li and the man let her take her relatives for 500 li, and His Majesty could let the Xue Yantuo Khanate Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan receive relatives in Li Tang, and the Xue Yantuo Khanate Viga Khan Yinan would definitely think that our Li Tang intended to deal with him secretly, even if the Xue Yantuo Khanate Viga Khan Yinan was willing to come, the ministers and elders under the Xue Yantuo Khanate Viga Khan Yinan would definitely persuade the Xue Yantuo Khanate Viga Khan Yinan not to come. ”
"What if the Viga Khan of the Xueyanta Khanate comes?"
"Your Majesty, in case the Xue Yantuo Khanate Viga Khan Yinan comes, the minister still has a plan, that is, to ask for more financial gifts, whether it is war horses, cattle and sheep, these things are good things for our Central Plains, and moreover, our dynasty and Xue Yantuo are nearly thousands of miles away, and there is a Shahai Gobi isolated for nearly a thousand miles in the middle, I believe that when the time comes, before they reach the Monan area, those cattle, sheep, camels, horses and livestock will all die. When the time comes, Your Majesty will just regret the marriage! Li Jiancheng nodded. Hum! History really can't be changed. Li Jiancheng said with a smile in his heart. Historically, in order to strengthen relations with the Tang Dynasty, Yi Nan sent envoys to pay tribute to Li Tang with horses, robes, and amber mirrors. Asked to make peace with one of Li Shimin's daughters, in order to deal with the Xue Yantuo Khanate, Li Shimin first agreed to the marriage proposal of the Xue Yantuo Khanate, Zhenzhu Viga Khan Yinan, agreed to the proposal of the family, and sent the minister Cui Dunli to Mobei to negotiate with Yi Nan and marry his daughter Princess Xinxing to Yi Nan. Yi Nan also sent his nephew Tuli to pay a tribute of 50,000 horses, 10,000 cattle and 100,000 sheep to the Tang Dynasty as a dowry. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty welcomed Tuli with a grand ceremony, and Li Shimin and Li Shimin's ministers personally attended the banquet to welcome Tuli. However, Li Shimin did not have so much sincerity for his relatives, and first asked Yi Nan to go to Lingzhou (now Yinchuan, Ningxia) to marry the emerging princess in person, thinking that Yi Nan would refuse, and Li Shimin would have a good reason to break off this marriage. When Yi Nan agreed to go to Lingzhou, Li Shimin found another excuse - saying that he did not give all the bride price required (in order to pay enough tribute for livestock, Yi Nan levied it in his subordinate tribe, and the collection took longer than expected, and the livestock died before passing through the Gobi), so he revoked the marriage. Despite the strong opposition of Li Shimin's minister Chu Suiliang, Chu Suiliang pointed out that the emperor could not be untrustworthy. Li Shimin defended that if the princess married Yi Nan, Yi Nan's position as khan would have greater legitimacy in Eile, and it would be more difficult for the Tang Dynasty to control Xue Yantuo.
"Ling Jing! You've got a good plan, Mingyu! Mingyu's father-in-law heard Li Jiancheng shouting about himself, and immediately ran in:
"Your Majesty! The minions are here! ”
"Ling Jing Aiqing has made meritorious contributions, and she is rewarded with a pot of imperial wine. Ling Jing Aiqing, if you have any ideas, just do what you think! But the thing now is that you have to hold off Lu Mang first, because I have other arrangements in the Mobei area, and after everything is arranged, you will go to Xue Yantuo with Lu Mang. Ling Jing nodded.
"Wechen understands!" In Mobei, Ashnasmo took his own soldiers to the area of the Mobei Tianci Copper Mine, in the eyes of Ashinasmo, the current Mobei Tianci Copper Mine is no longer like the former Mobei Tianci Copper Mine. Li Jing transferred part of the army stationed in Monan to the vicinity of the Tianci Copper Mine in Mobei, and in order to protect the Tianci Copper Mine, Li Jing had built a tall castle. Ashnasmo found it strange that when he first settled here, the soil of the Tianci Copper Mine was loose and severely weathered, which was not conducive to building a city. And the castle stands here. Ashnasmo was full of questions. Immediately send his own soldiers to inquire. I only know how this castle was built - craftsmen from the mainland mixed cinder, sand and lime with rice soup to make large bricks weighing ten catties, and used rice soup mixed with cinder, sand and lime to make a sauce to bridge the gaps between the bricks. A mighty castle was thus built. Ashinasmo was completely impressed by the wisdom of the Han people in the Central Plains. After entering the castle, I saw that inside the castle, the market was tightly organized, and there were merchants coming and going, and all kinds of materials transported from the Central Plains were concentrated here. Also turn around here. Compared with the depression and desolation of the Eastern Turks here, it is more lively. Of course, the liveliest thing here is the slave trade. There were slave markets everywhere.
"Come and see, everyone! This is a child slave from Goguryeo, ah! Such a clever and handsome child slave is cheap, and has been castrated! Rest assured, if you keep it at home, you don't have to worry about the safety of your daughters at home. ”
"Come and see, everyone! This is a slave girl who has just been transported from Silla, what a handsome woman! It's time to wait. "After the Ya tribe returned to Liaodong, for the survival of the tribe, they still did their old business, went to Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje to catch slaves, and then went to the Tianci Copper Mine to sell, and the strong ones became the miners of the Tianci Copper Mine, and those boys and girls, as well as women who could give birth, became the goods here, and sold them to the original merchants from Zhongyuan, in exchange for cloth and grain. And it is precisely because of the slave trade that it is lively. Moreover, there are granaries, garrisons, and residents in this castle, Ashnasmo never thought that it was fun for the Han people to build castles and repair fortifications on the grassland, and Ashnasmo had read so many Han people's military books and knew that these things were generally used for offense rather than defense. When Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, it was not only for defense, but as a forward base, and Ashnasmo said to himself in his heart: "Ashinasmo! Ashnasmo! If you have a chance, you should be an official of Li Tang and Han! Don't think about being a Great Turkic Khan. It's really not as precious as an official position! After returning to Li Ji's stay-at-home mansion, Ashinasmo called one of his cronies.
"Naihe!"
"Master, what did you do with calling the minions?"
"Naihe! You've been following me for more than ten years! ”
"Yes, master, at the beginning, the slave was just a lowly little slave, and it was you who saved the slave and returned the slave woman, cattle and sheep. The minions had their own children. If the master has anything to do, just tell the minions! Slaves will never give up! Ashnasmo nodded.
"Naihe! You come here, I want you to do something! Ashnasmo muttered in Nahwa's ear, and Naihe nodded. The Xueyantuo Khanate, the residence of the Xi tribe. Since coming to this Xue Yantuo, the life of the Xi tribe and the Lei tribe has not been better than the life in the Eastern Turks. Not to mention the people of Xue Yantuo, even the people of the Tiele Alliance are very contemptuous of the people of the Xi tribe and the Lei tribe. regarded the Xi tribe and the Lei tribe as traitors who could rebel at any time and anywhere, not only that, but they often came over to rob the cattle, sheep and livestock belonging to the Xi tribe and the Lei tribe. Kill the tribesmen of the Xi tribe and the Lei tribe, and rob the beautiful women in the Xi tribe and the Lei tribe. Whenever he heard this kind of news, the big leader of the Xi tribe was silent and did not answer. And in many cases, the big leader of the Xi tribe is asking himself whether it was right or wrong for him to choose Xue Yantuo in the first place.
"Brother Xi Moor Nagongmi, is Brother Xi Moor Nagongmi here?" The big leader of the Xi tribe knew that it was the big leader of the Lei tribe when he heard it.
"Oh! It's you who came. ”
"Brother Xi Moor Nagongmi, the horses of our Lei tribe have been robbed by robbers on the grassland again."
"Brother! Don't be too sad, on this grassland, horse thieves are everywhere, and it is common to lose a few horses, that is, the shepherd should not be hurt, there are no dead people! ”
"There were no dead people, except for one who came back to tell the news. It's fucking. The Great Leader of the Xi Tribe looked at the Great Leader of the Thunder Tribe and sighed.
"Forget it, brother, bear with the anger for a while and wait for the opportunity! Someone! Bring me wine and meat! After the attendant brought the wine and meat, the big leaders of the Xi tribe and the Lei tribe poured out their inner anguish to each other while eating. At this time, the son of the great leader of the Xi tribe, Xi Mahatulou, came to the tent.
"Father! Someone from the south side is looking for us. ”
"Oh! Is it true? Xi Ma Tulou nodded.
"Bring it in right away!" At this moment, a mute with a disabled leg was pulled in from outside the tent!
