Section 39: Response
After sending Li Xuan away, Lao Luo returned to his military tent, sat on the soft collapse and couldn't help but smile, that is, Li Xuan's character can manage such a troublesome and trivial stall as civil.
People's hearts are unpredictable, although the people's hearts in this era are simple, but there are also selfish villains, Lao Luo estimates that unless he has a brainwashing machine, it will be difficult to win everyone's hearts. What raises arms and shouts to all people, but they are all exaggerated techniques in the drama, or what dog-legged literati sing praises of virtue.
According to Lao Luo's approach, it is best to formulate a recognized rule to restrain everyone, that is, let it come and go, follow me if you listen to me, and invite you out of this circle if you don't listen, but this kind of rigid rules are destined to only be implemented in the army, and if the civil operation is the same, it will definitely be a big chaos in the world.
Lao Luo touched the cyan ring mark on his left hand, how can this kind of golden finger be able to cheat in this world? Let yourself use it is a big warehouse, at most occasionally make a cameo appearance as a thief. Governing the army itself may be able to stand in its way, but if it is useless to govern the political people, he still has a long way to go.
There is no need to personally manage civil affairs, and Lao Luo also has a lot of trivial matters. Not long after Li Xuan left, his brother Li Zheng came to visit Lao Luo.
"I've seen General Luo, and it's Li Zheng below, and my brother sent me to see the general." Li Zheng is actually not very old, only twenty-five or sixteen, dressed in Tang costume, and even with a blue-white Tang-style soft head, a mixed-race face with Central Asian wind and frost, and a curly short hair two or three centimeters long, he did not look around after entering Lao Luo's tent, but respectfully stood in front of Lao Luo and bowed and bowed.
This is a shrewd and scheming person, as a member of the Li family, but he is respectful and polite in front of his own guest general, but this cultivation is not ordinary, Lao Luo did not interfere with the appearance, and immediately judged such an impression, "Come, don't be polite, sit at will, we have met, but we have never dealt with each other." ”
"Thank you, Lord!" Li Zheng cautiously took two steps and sat down on the side of Lao Luo's left hand side.
"I heard Brother Xuan say that you have been to many places and are familiar with the customs of many ethnic groups?" Lao Luo didn't understand Li Zheng's position, of course he was not familiar with the etiquette at this time, but it was speculated that it should be some kind of evasion, and his impression of Li Zheng was a little better, obviously this junior of the Li family should be familiar with the ancient etiquette and behave modestly, at least these few steps are enough to be a diplomat.
"Back to the general, Zheng fifteen ran from his father to the west, and he knew the customs everywhere, and the language was also a little clear." Li Zheng's words were very modest, but there was a sense of confidence in his tone.
Although Lao Luo likes to speak by force, he is not a reckless man, how can he not hear his humble words? I can't say that I can't test the talent who can be a one-sided opponent, Lao Luo didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "Very good, now the Turkic Chen soldiers are tens of thousands of miles away, and they have sent their cronies to persuade us to surrender, what is your opinion?" ”
Li Zheng pondered for a while, "General, I am not suitable to stay in this land at the moment, tens of thousands of people live here, after all, it is a source of water and a tree without roots, in addition, the day before yesterday, the Lord led people to kill nearly 10,000 Turks has formed a grudge, not to mention that my Tang people have a grudge against the Turks, so it is not advisable to vote for the Turks, and now the best is to gather the strength of everyone, and it is the right way to fight to the death. ”
"Papa" Lao Luo heard it and clapped his hands and applauded, although this Li Zheng is not very old, but he sees the problem very clearly, although his words are a little half-literate, he can hear it clearly, of course, there may be speculation about his own mind, but it is already a very good talent to have this kind of eyesight, "Well said, the messenger sent by the Ghaznavid side is in Mashhad at the moment, his name is Musharad, if you are replaced by you according to your words, how will you be treated?" ”
Lao Luo first asked for advice, and then asked for specific responses, Li Zheng answered well in the front, and if the answer was vague in the back, he would be a person who would only talk rhetorically. It can only be said that the vision is good, and only those who can come up with practical solutions are truly practical people.
"I will speak to the messenger of Ghaznavid, show no hostile sincerity, and when the other party proposes to win over, make a request that will give them a headache, in order to achieve the purpose of delaying time." Li Zheng did not hesitate to directly say the solution, "However, delaying time is at most to stabilize the other party, and it will not play a decisive role, and what should be done is to send them away." ”
"Nice, really good! Well, in a few days I will take it to kill, and there will be no one in the camp to receive the outsiders, and the Ghaznavid guest will come if he says he can't say it, so you will be in charge of the reception. Lao Luo is very happy, this Li Zheng said the head of the way, but he did not really appoint the other party as the leader of this team because of these words, there is no trivial matter in diplomacy, and there have been countless wars caused by etiquette or misunderstanding of diplomatic incidents throughout the ages. In this dispute with the Turks, the envoy Mushara was still in Mashhad, so this Li Zheng came to receive him, and it was also a good time to test the ability of the younger generation of the Li family.
"Li Zheng takes the order!" Standing up from the soft collapse with a bang, Li Zheng bowed down and gave a fist salute and promised loudly.
"Alright, sit down!" Lao Luo likes some rules, but he doesn't like colleagues who are always serious and serious, "There are many trivial and trivial things in internal affairs, but your brother has handled them very well, and there are not many external affairs, but there are no trivial matters, I can't directly appoint you as the heir of the team just because of your words." So this time you are receiving the Turks as a test messenger, if you can do a good job, the next way to receive foreign affairs will be handed over to you! ”
"Yes, General, Li Zheng understands!" Li Zheng sat down and said a little relaxed, he also knew that this kind of position could not be decided hastily, so he made up his mind to do a good job of dealing with the Turks this time, "I don't know what the previous general said about the Musala?" What are the things to comply with when approaching the other person? ”
"Heh, the other party promised last time that he would not pursue Dhamgan's losses, and promised us a fief, I was a lion and asked the other party to first inform the Quartet of not pursuing Dhamgan's killing, and then publicly announce where the fief given to my eastbound team was, and of course, there are issues such as territorial autonomy......" Old Lorala repeated the previous negotiation with Mushara, and this kind of work handover is inevitable.
Li Zheng patiently listened to Lao Luo's words, and then said with a look of respectful admiration: "The Turks will definitely not agree to the lord's request, but all the requirements do not exceed the bottom line of the Turks, they will not be angry and directly send troops to besiege us, that Mushara can't be the master, so he can only send a message to his master, and this time will be delayed." ”
"That's right, that's the truth. However, it is not right to say that the Turks did not send troops, they have already sent troops, but it is estimated that there is some reason to hold back the feet of their army, and they have not yet come. Lao Luo said calmly.
"It's a good job to do the master, why do you have to set up a separate position to greet outsiders?" After saying so many words, Li Zheng's attitude was not as restrained as at the beginning, and the questions he asked were much more straightforward.
"It's nothing, my temperament is too lazy to deal with outsiders, and there are too many things at hand." Lao Luo Cai doesn't shy away from anything, and the best way is to say something directly, "I believe you can handle this matter well, don't worry about the Turks, let go of your hands and feet to do things!" No matter how bad the situation is, I can bring tens of thousands of us back to the East! ”
"Yes, Lord!" Li Zheng promised loudly, although he was not a sergeant, his demeanor was also full of hard-boned demeanor.
The matter was decided, Lao Luo breathed a sigh of relief, although the previous request from Li Xuan to the Li family to take on this Honglu position is not a particularly important matter, but it can't be filled by just someone who comes. There are many diplomatic trivialities, but there are no trivial matters, you don't see them, because ethnic conflicts and national conflicts caused by some homely folk trivialities abound, and these small things often accumulate to a certain extent and become a major event.
Rubbing his face, Lao Luo felt that dealing with people's affairs all day long was much more tiring than cutting people. Entrusting this kind of thing to send foreign affairs to me is really a burden for myself.
Since ancient times, literati have a good name, businessmen pursue profits, this seems to be a good Li Zheng has both the style of a soldier and the experience of a businessman, and there is not much literati style mixed between his words, but he is not a good person, so as long as he is not a blind profit-seeker, he should be able to go farther in the future, maybe he can also use it when he deals with Song Liao in the East in the future, but I don't know if this kind of person can return to his heart.
I can't see through it, Lao Luo let go of this thought, leaned on his back on the soft collapse, stared at the bracket on the top of the tent, closed his eyes, a ruddy blood covered his vision, and then it was time for Jin Ge Iron Horse. …………………………………………………………
