Chapter 325: Looking Back (1)

Li Wei's mind was spinning rapidly at this moment. If you can't say yes, it's not good if you don't.

Deep down, he was in favor of marrying a woman, not a woman. Don't exclude, don't be the emperor, one is the emperor, even if there are eight women in the East Palace, the harem is still thin. It is better to choose what you need than to write to its ministers. And whether they can survive or not, it's not a joke, the Tubo people haven't started fighting yet, once the war officially starts, anything can happen in the face of the Qinling. The addition of 10,000 party fighters is equivalent to an additional force to ensure security......

Thinking of this, he said, "You guys are going to do it. ”

More than two dozen old men all smiled, this was the result of discussing in the middle of the night last night. I don't understand the big truth, but I still understand the general truth, and I must pay if I want to get it. If the people of the Tang Dynasty repaired the city for the Dangxiang people and locked the Tuyuhun and Tubo people on both sides of Jishi Mountain, this land would become a paradise for the Dangxiang people. Very exciting. But it is not easy to build a city, not to mention the cost, the party has at most some manpower, and the material resources must be borne by the Tang Dynasty. And the Tibetans will let them build the city? Then there will be bloody battles.

Therefore, first give 10,000 soldiers to come and secretly defect. But the intrigues of the Han people are very famous, so they came up with the method of in-law.

Li Wei tapped his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice: "Lone is to say, the Han Hu family, Lone has the blood of Xianbei and Han people flowing in his body. But my family has entered the Central Plains, why did Wei Xiaowen move the capital in the past, reform the official system, prohibit Hu Fu Hu language, change the Xianbei surname to the Han surname, and prohibit intermarriage of the same clan? It is precisely to be recognized by the people of the Central Plains. ”

"We can do it, but we don't understand, can the prince send someone to teach us?" Fang Dangjing said.

Teach you, Mu Monkey and crown, no matter how much you teach, you can't teach well. But faintly feeling that there are still many opportunities in the middle, Li Wei continued: "The Han family doesn't like Nahu people as women, have you heard of it? ”

These old men may have wisdom, but they rarely go far away, but their knowledge is not wide, and they shake their heads blankly.

"Lone is the prince, and there are more restrictions. But it's not impossible. ”

"Your Highness, please speak."

"If the children you sent make great contributions, like General Li Jinxing, they will pay homage to the generals, take this girl as their sister, and then be included in the East Palace, there will be less controversy."

"That's a good idea," Tuoba Baishan's eyes lit up. If someone pays homage to the generals in the Tang Dynasty, climbs the big tree of the Tang Dynasty, and then builds the cities, the prosperity of the tribe is just around the corner. One by one, they bowed their heads, and their minds were spinning.

Li Wei naturally knew what they were thinking at this time, and what they wanted was this effect, in order to seal the general and greet these four words, these tribes would not hide their clumsiness, and they would inevitably send the bravest warriors in the tribe.

After a pause, Tuoba Baishan said, "This is also a good idea, so when will we send the woman to the side of the palace?" ”

I don't see the rabbit and the eagle yet.

"Not now, the army is fighting, you can't bring your family, you see that there are women by your side. Or General Li Jinxing has, but Mrs. Li herself is no less than a brave general. ”

"We can also send a sturdy woman to accompany us at the edge of the palace......" Mi Baozong didn't finish speaking, and was interrupted by Tuoba Baishan pulling his sleeve. Mi Baozong knew that he had said the wrong thing, the prince is the prince, Li Jinxing is Li Jinxing, how can the prince need a woman with five big and three rough as his wife and concubine? At least a girl with good conduct and beauty like a flower is needed to be favored, and he said: "So ...... does the prince mean?" ”

"It's not that you can't accompany each other, even if you are a maid now, it's not too much. But every move alone, many people are watching. Once you have a woman to serve with you, how can you lead by example? Besides, the general greetings are not the only ones, but the merits. Even if you send 10,000 soldiers to help Gu, how do you know who will make a meritorious service? Combat merit is not only necessary to be able to charge into battle, but also to command his subordinates with wisdom. Now she is a maidservant, and she will become someone's sister in the future, how can Lone justify herself? Even if you worship someone now, who knows that person will definitely be crowned a general? Therefore, this matter is not in a hurry, as soon as this battle is over, the battle achievements come out, and the orphan will report to the court for reward. Then it will not be too late to send the woman of your choice. ”

After saying this, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, this was not talking about marriage, but talking about a deal.

"This ......" is still groaning, and there are many dreams when the night is long, and these old men are very worried.

Li Wei suddenly said loudly: "Come on, bring wine." ”

The guards brought the wine, Li Wei picked up a wine jug, took out his sword, made a cut on his finger, dripped blood into the wine, and said, "If you don't believe it, I will make a blood oath with you." ”

This blood oath is the tradition of the party members, revenge, or important affairs, and the blood oath is more effective than any vicious curse.

These old men immediately cut their fingers, and poured the blood wine in the wine jug into the wine glass, Li Wei raised the wine glass and said: "What these elders say is true, if there is half a lie, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" ”

As he spoke, he drank the cup of blood wine.

These old men took some oaths and drank the blood wine. Only then did the group of people be sent away, tired and sweaty. But it's worth it.

sent the old man away and came to Shancheng again.

Embark on another thing.

Hu Sheng bought horses, not only horses, but also cattle, sheep, camels, mules and donkeys, in fact, mainly war horses, other large livestock, the Tang Dynasty was in short supply, but there was no shortage of war horses. This was an important material for the First World War in Qinghai and Youguan.

There are not many people who know, with a large herd of livestock, from the city of Fan to leave, just out of the gate of the city, a large group of soldiers rushed from afar, and then like a wolf to buckle the horses. One of the generals nodded, a total of three thousand and one hundred horses, and a fraction of them, and wiped them out. Came to Hu Sheng: "This batch of horses was purchased by the imperial court. ”

He said that he gave 31,000 yuan. That is, ten dollars for a horse.

The average number of horses in Chang'an has reached more than 20 yuan, and the good and bad are uneven. When I arrived in Qinghai, the horses were cheaper, but these horses were all bribed by Hu Sheng with a lot of money, and they were all good horses, even in Qinghai, they were worth 20 yuan.

Hu Sheng was not convinced, and immediately shouted, and was lifted by the neck by a lieutenant and said: "What a Hu businessman, I asked you, it's not that the imperial court doesn't give you business, but why can you get so many horses, cattle and sheep?" If it weren't for the prince's benevolence, you would have been convicted of a crime of conspiring with a foreign country, and some of these livestock would have been confiscated. ”

That is, strong buying and strong selling.

There were many people who watched it, and many people were unhappy, but in fact, many merchants also changed their hands and bought the horses back to the imperial court, and the price was also low, but it could not be so low. And the amount is large, tens of thousands of dollars are gone in the blink of an eye, and those who do business are pursuing profits, and it hurts to change anyone.

But this Hu Ying, who can get so many livestock, even the merchants of Tuyuhun do not have this ability. Therefore, it is difficult to say.

Hu Sheng was not convinced, kept arguing, was forked by several soldiers, went up and punched and kicked, did not dare to make a sound, had to let the subordinates immediately transfer the other animals to the rear. Then go around looking for people to reason. found Li Jinxing, let Li Jinxing drag him outside the gate, crackled, and beat twenty more military sticks. Send someone to speak, you, a little Hu businessman, although you are a Hu person, the court treats you leniently, but the prince said that the Han Hu family, this sentence Lao Li often talks on his lips and listens to it. Since the Han Hu family has to be loyal to the imperial court. The big war is imminent, but you are connected to foreign countries, and it is difficult for you to make a fortune.

The twenty military sticks were really hit on the body, and the skin was open, and the clothes were full of blood. I couldn't even walk the road, so I was carried back by someone. This incident became a sensation. Li Jingxuan frowned after hearing this. At that time, he used words to stuff Liu Renliang, but after arriving in Qinghai, he was not really a fool, and when he arrived at the highlands, Qinghai horses were obviously better than mainland horses in terms of explosive power and durability in running, as well as speed. The prince said that step by step, everyone also passed the prince's plan. But the field battle still cannot be avoided.

Now the weather is hot, and in another month or two, there will be movement among the Tibetan people. So he also learned to fold through, and secretly raised six or seven thousand horses through a large number of materials or other means, some of which were provided by the party members, and some of which were obtained from merchants in the Tibetan market.

I don't know the specific situation of Hu Sheng, the prince can write to him to pay attention, and he seems to be able to eat when he arrives in Tuyuhun. Businessmen, if they have money, they can smash the way. Li Jinxing overcorrected. But because of the clearing of his name, it was difficult to say, so he immediately wrote a letter to inform Li Wei.

Li Wei then turned around and went to Shancheng.

After meeting, Li Wei said, "General Li, you are too dark-hearted. In the Lonely East Palace, there are still 100,000 money holes that have not been leveled. ”

"If it weren't for that, the ministers would have to detain even those livestock."

All materials can only reach Chencang from the waterway, and then go up, the Weishui water is shallow, and there are dangerous reefs and turbulence, which is inconvenient for navigation, even if the tonnage of the ship is very small, it loses its meaning. From Chencang, it had to be transported from land to Qinghai, not to mention the huge losses, but also a large number of livestock and vehicles. So later, Di Renjie once had a discussion to stop the four towns of Liaodong and Hexi. Our Tang Dynasty went west to Shazhou, north to Yingzhou, and south to Yaozhou. Either open the border, or protect the border, the non-stop war, the cost is equally amazing.

The two of them laughed.

Li Jinxing said again: "I want these 3,000 horses." ”

"This can't be done, other military camps will definitely not accept it."

"Then in this battle, I will subdue them."

"Then let Gu think about it, it won't work, this battle may capture a large number of war horses."

After laughing and laughing, Li Wei went to the inn to visit Hu Sheng, waved his hand, and the guards dispersed and put the surroundings on guard.

Li Wei said: "Hu Sheng, thank you for your hard work. ”

"The subjects don't dare."

"It's a little hard now, but Lone's intentions, General Li has already told you after you come back. If you succeed, you should ask for merit for yourself, let you worship the guerrilla to the rank of general, and you will be awarded a baron. ”

"The subjects dare not have such delusions," said him, but his eyes lit up.

"Let's talk about it, this time I was able to bring back so many livestock smoothly and meet the big man of Tuyuhun?"

"I saw a tribal chieftain, not a big man, but a woman."

"Woman?"

"Well, it's the favorite concubine of the Tuyuhun general Su Hegui, she is very beautiful, and she is loved by Su Hegui. can be greedy for money, I bribed a lot of money, she said a lot of good things on the pillow, Su and Gui accommodated, so this is smooth. ”

"Is it expensive and plain?" Li Wei was pleasantly surprised.

The construction of Tuyuhun members is also very complicated, the main clan is the Tuyuhun people, that is, the Xianbei race, but it is not from one tribe, such as the Na Lou clan, the Duan clan, the A Shu clan, the Qifu clan, the Yi Fu clan, the Ou Lou clan, the Murong clan of the royal family, and the Baibu Xianbei clan Suhe clan. In addition, there are a large number of Qiang people, not only Dangxiang Qiang, but also a kind of Qiang, Jiang Qiang, Bailanqiang, Qiyuan Qiang, Yao Qiang, as well as Helian Clan, Fuqu and other Xiongnu species, Zhai and Qiyuan Gaoche species, as well as Turkic people, Zhaowu nine surnames, Qiuzi people, and Western Regions Caucasian Hu.

This Suhe tribe is a very large tribe in Tuyuhun. Not only these, Su Hegui was also the most important traitor who colluded with the Tubo people to invade Tuyuhun back then. Because of this, now Tubo *** is supporting Su Hegui, and this person controls tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Tuyuhun.

What a chance!

He asked again, "What is the name of that little concubine?" ”

"Her name is Duan Mingzhen."

"Duan Mingzhen, not a bad name. This time, when you sneak back to Tuyuhun again, you must see Su Hegui and ask him, just say that you have taken a fancy to this Duan Mingzhen. ”
