Chapter 634: Taking advantage is not necessarily cheap, suffering is taking advantage
In fact, to tell the truth, the envoys of the two countries did not approve of the emperor taking advantage of the northern garrison. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause in this world, those who once wanted to take advantage of the Dingbei garrison have either perished or are dying. Even, even those who took advantage of Weibei Camp back then, none of them had a good end, they all perished or barely survived.
For example, in the Pingzhou Dynasty in the earlier years, the powerful people in the DPRK and China joined forces to frame Di Dashuai, the founder of the Weibei camp, and suppressed the Weibei camp for decades. As a result, now, the Ping Zhou Dynasty has died, and those powerful families who offended the Weibei Camp back then were either eaten by the Tuliao people, or they were exterminated by the garrison regiment, and the end was extremely desolate.
Another example is the puppet Jin emperor Shimaizhou who died a few years ago, when he was backed by the Tuliao State, held the land of Sanzhou, had countless generals under his command, and wore 100,000 armor, and the limelight was unparalleled for a while. But because of taking advantage of the advantages that annoyed the Weibei battalion, he couldn't lift his head after being beaten again and again by the garrison regiment until he perished.
Looking at the present, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the time of the Tuliao Kingdom is running out, and its demise is imminent. It is said that according to unreported rumors, when the Tuliao State invaded the Ping Zhou Dynasty, many small grassland tribes followed into the customs to burn, kill and plunder, and as a result, one accidentally slaughtered the people of Manzhuang, the hometown of the deputy head of the garrison regiment. Since then, this Li Shuxing has officially descended into the world, gritting his teeth to extinguish the Tuliao Kingdom.
The current situation of this Tuliao country is really embarrassing. After only a few years of hard work, the dignified Liao State has decayed to this point.
I think that at the beginning, in the face of the Tuliao country, people of insight in the world shook their heads and sighed, saying that the fortune was there, and it was inevitable that the Tuliao country would dominate the world, and it would be difficult for manpower to resist the general trend of this trend. As a result, the emperor of the Tuliao State was unlucky for eight lifetimes and blood mold provoked this Li Killer Star, who took the Dingbei garrison regiment and beat the Tuliao State step by step to lose his armor, abandon the king, and retreat to the grassland in embarrassment, only daring to stick to a unified city.
Anyone in the world who dares to provoke or has provoked this Li Killer Star has no good end. This is already the consensus of people of insight in the world.
It's a pity that although the envoys of the two countries are all people of insight, they can't help themselves, so they can only have the courage to help their emperor take advantage of the garrison. There is no way, the matter of being loyal to the king of the king has to seek his government in his position and share the worries of the saint.
In fact, before leaving, Wei Zhiyan did not fail to advise the emperor. The Dingbei garrison has always kept its promises and treated its allies very well. This time, as long as you contribute as before, after defeating, the benefits will inevitably not be less, and even more.
It's a pity that Li Shiluan has been the emperor for a few years and has long been accustomed to the emperor's way of thinking. The emperor is the most respected among people, where only others let the emperor, how can there be a reason for the emperor to let others? Besides, even if I cooperated with the garrison on an equal footing, it would be a great loss to me, the emperor's face. The emperor is the most respected in the world, if he is equal to the garrison, wouldn't he be a subordinate to himself? How can it still be considered supreme?!
Li Shiluan, the emperor of the Ping Tang Kingdom, thought about it, not to mention Liu Lai, the emperor of the Ping Han Kingdom. Liu Lai mixed with society in his early years, and he was a scoundrel who saw the tree and kicked three feet, and he was a bastard if he had a advantage. The last time he worked with the garrison, he was the most slippery. This time, Liu Lai naturally had to find a way to take advantage.
The virtue of the emperors of the two countries can only be said to be evil, and evil people grind it. When they met Li Deyi, a little bastard who was covered in bad water, they were unlucky.
Today's deputy head of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment Li is no better than in the past. In the early years, Li Deyi saw dozens of sets of well-made armor under Wang Songcheng, and he drooled greedily, and tried his best to get them. Now, with the years of conquest and the increase in the wealth of the garrison, Li Deyi's appetite has long been propped up. The cheap he wants now is not something that can be eaten at will. Even if he ate most of the Tuliao Kingdom before, and swept the three major tribes of the grassland, he didn't see him stop.
Moreover, over the years, under the full teaching of his master and brother, Li Deyi is no longer the stupid stunned young man he was at the beginning. He is planning things now, and he is also very similar to his senior brother Liu Yishou, which is interlocking and interlocking. When you react to the scheme, you have already been trapped, and you can't run if you want to, so you can only be honest.
Don't look at Captain Liu's hatred for his junior brother all day long, it's just to spur his junior brother to move forward. If Li De didn't have anything in his head, would Captain Liu always condone him to mess around? Will he always be the deputy head of the regiment?
The scouts of the Pingtang Kingdom and the Pinghan Kingdom secretly paid attention to the war, but in fact, they had already been discovered by the scouts of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment. Li Deyi deliberately pressed it and kept pretending not to know, but in fact, he and his senior brother had already analyzed it, knowing that the two countries must be observing the situation, and then wanted to take the opportunity to share some benefits.
At that time, Li Deyi had already begun to feel bad in his heart, wanting to give these two countries a little bit of strength. "When I was going to conquer the Tuliao Kingdom, the two of you stood by one and clapped your hands, and there was nothing dry. Now that I see that I am going to win, I want to get together and take advantage? Hehe, if I let you succeed, I won't be surnamed Li! ”
Now, the two countries' missions have arrived at the door, and Li Deyi is just in time to start his plan.
He didn't need to be polite with the two countries at all now, and went straight to the point: "The Pingtang Kingdom wants to send troops to crusade against the Tuliao State with my garrison, okay!" But there is one thing, this person who commands the army must be him. As he spoke, Li De pointed at Pharmacist Li.
Pharmacist Li was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart. He was naturally honored to be handpicked by Deputy Head Li, who is famous all over the world.
Wei Zhiyan only said one sentence: "This matter still needs to wait for the decision of the saint." ”
After all, Wei Zhiyan knew that the Holy Lord would inevitably take care of it. This deputy head of the regiment Li is a horse of the Pingtang Kingdom, and behind him, there is also a horse standing. If the two horses have such an opinion, the emperor will definitely not twist.
Li Deyi said again: "The two of you are coming at this time, just to see that the North Garrison has a chance to win, and you want to take advantage of it." These words are simply piercing the hearts of the two countries.
Fortunately, the chief and deputy envoys of the two countries have dealt with this Deputy Head Li many times, and they know that this Deputy Head Li has always been quick to talk and speak rough and straight, so he did not squirt out the tea in his mouth. Rao is like this, and at this moment, the envoys of the two countries can't stand the directness of the deputy head of the mission. The other officials in the missions of the two countries couldn't stand it, and they suddenly turned red one by one. There were even those who wanted to accuse Li Deyi of being rude, but in the end, no one had the courage to do so.
Li Deyi is always a silly junior brother in front of his senior brother, but outside, he is full of anger, and every move he makes, he exudes a great power. The low-level officials in the missions of the two countries did not even dare to look up at this killer, how could they dare to do their duties.
Wei Zhiyan coughed twice and said, "The horse is serious, and the words are serious." China has always had contacts with Dingbei County, and it is natural for me to come to help this time. He is worthy of being Li Shiluan's confidant, and his face is not red or out of breath when he says this.
Zhang Zifang listened to Wei Zhiyan next to him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the princess of his country was blessed, and this "concubine" still doesn't know how many benefits he has exchanged for the Pingtang Kingdom.
Li Deyi: "Let's not talk about these useless things first, there are some rough terms written on this piece of paper in my hand, you can take a look at it first, and then, let's slowly discuss the details according to this." As he spoke, Li De handed a piece of paper in his hand to the envoys of the two countries to circulate. Due to the rush of time, Li Deyi did not have time to copy many copies, and the above terms were also drafted, and they would be discussed in detail later.
Now let the envoys of the two countries see it, it is nothing more than to let them know it in their hearts first, so that they can contact and discuss with their respective emperors.
See, Captain Liu. That's how you good junior brother is at "negotiating".
Fortunately, the envoys of the two countries have dealt with this deputy head of the regiment Li many times and know his character better, so they did not be shocked on the spot, or thought that this deputy head of the regiment was stupid and could be coaxed.
After carefully reading it, the envoys of the two countries took their leave one after another and went back to prepare for discussion.
Among the envoys of the two countries, they were a little stunned, and when they saw that Deputy Head Li was so easy to reveal their details, they used their brains on the way back.
That night, Wei Zhiyan was successively suggested by several low-level officials. Zhang Zifang also had the same experience.
Wei Zhiyan silently listened to the words of several low-level officials, and understood very well their eagerness to serve the country, but he could not tell the truth, so as not to discourage the positive attitude of these young officials to serve the country.
In the end, Wei Zhiyan could only find a way to speak lightly, hoping to mention some of the smart young officials.
Wei bluntly said it tactfully, but the meaning was clear. The Tuliao State was so strong and invincible that it almost swept the whole world, what was the result? It was not that it was beaten by the Dingbei garrison and retreated. If the deputy head of the garrison regiment was so easy to be coaxed, how could the Tuliao Kingdom fall into such a field as it is now? Don't just look at it for a while, think about it before and after, and consider it comprehensively, so that you don't be blinded by what is in front of you.
Wei Zhiyan explained what he said, and he didn't say more, leaving these young officials to figure it out for themselves. Some young officials of the Pingtang Kingdom had a more active mind, and they instantly thought of the word "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", and then they didn't think about it anymore. Some young officials of the Ping Tang Kingdom were more reasonable, and once their words were not recognized by others, they would subconsciously judge others as wrong, and then think about them on this basis. These young officials all think that Lord Wei is a long-term ambition to destroy his prestige, and he is old and misleading the country.
Zhang Zifang was not as careful as Wei Zhiyan, and only left a sentence for the young officials in the mission: "Think about it." "Let them go back and figure it out for themselves. If you can think it through, you will naturally have a future. If you can't figure it out, that's the end of it.
In fact, Wei bluntly said such a long word, if it is summed up, it is just four words of Zhang Zifang. The long and short words also depend on the understanding of the listener. If you cling to your own ideas and don't realize it, then this life will end here. If this can lead to thinking, then there is room for improvement.
People in the world always complain that there are no opportunities, but as everyone knows, opportunities often flow by inadvertently. You may not really feel like it, but the opportunity has slipped away. It can be seen from this that if an ordinary person cannot listen to people, then he will inevitably miss a lot. If the successful person begins to disobey people, then it must be the beginning of decline. If you don't believe in flipping through the history books, which dynasty and which generation of emperors who died in the country, did not listen to the advice?
After discussing with the envoys of the two countries, Li Deyi showed his senior brother the draft charter. Elder Liu glanced at it a few times and said directly: "Yes, just do it." "Over the years, his junior brother has never suffered a loss, and he, as a senior brother, naturally doesn't need to worry about this.
At present, Commander Liu already knew that his junior brother planned to use the power of the two countries to help the garrison regiment conquer the Liao State.
Under his command, Li Deyi planned to take the opportunity of the two countries wanting to participate in the sharing of profits to solve the problem of grain and grass transportation for part of the Dingbei garrison regiment. The sixteen states of Yanyun, each occupied by the two countries, are less than 1,000 miles south of the garrison battalion. When the time comes, the two countries will enter the grassland through the 16 prefectures of Yanyun and transport part of the grain and grass to the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, which will greatly relieve the logistical pressure of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment.
There is another problem, that is, the Dingbei garrison regiment has captured more than 10,000 vigorous and disease-free Tuliao war horses through several battles, and since they have not been able to transport them back, they have been kept in the camp. Now that the grassland will snow soon, the forage problem for these Tuliao war horses will become serious.
Although these Tuliao war horses were majestic, they could not be immediately ridden as military horses. Because the military horses of the cavalry of the Dingbei garrison regiment need to undergo strict training before they can serve. Therefore, Li Deyi plans to take this opportunity this time to conduct a large-scale military and horse trade with the two countries. On the one hand, it solves the feeding problem of these Tuliao war horses, and can also take the opportunity to exchange for a large number of grain and grass, iron ore, construction wood and other materials needed by the garrison regiment, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, Li Deyi naturally wouldn't write down this kind of plan on paper. He only said that he wanted to trade a large number of high-quality Tuliao war horses with the two countries.
After the emperor of the Pingtang State and the Pinghan State got the news, he immediately gathered a group of important ministers and began to discuss the purchase of horses from the Dingbei garrison.
In the next few days, Li Deyi began a series of discussions with the two delegations on the details. During this negotiation, the envoys of the two countries suddenly discovered that all the soldiers in charge of the negotiations of the Dingbei garrison regiment were proficient in mathematics, and they were very accurate in all kinds of quantitative details, and they did not give the two countries a chance to take advantage of each other.
These soldiers of the garrison regiment who were responsible for negotiating the specific details were all graduates recruited by Li Deyi from the accounting school. Now the garrison regiment has statistics on its combat exploits, and all kinds of grain and grass equipment are transported back and forth, and they are all responsible for statistics. With their help, the logistical efficiency of the garrison regiment has been greatly improved, and the data has become clear and easy to understand. Now after every battle, Li Deyi will ask the accountants to make a list of military exploits, and make the list clear and read it to the soldiers, so that the soldiers can be convinced. The soldiers of the garrison regiment are all literate and naturally understandable.
Since he had made up his mind not to be polite to the two countries this time, Li Deyi simply transferred a few accountants to be responsible for negotiating the specific price, and it really worked wonders. When negotiating the specific price, these accountants used accurate calculations to overwhelm the envoys of the two countries, and successfully won more benefits for the garrison.
In fact, Li De can't be blamed for being ruthless. The use of high-grade Tuliao war horses by the garrison to trade with the two countries is already a very favorable condition. The two countries obviously wanted to get these Tuliao war horses very much, but when discussing the details, they deliberately dragged their feet and tried their best to lower the price, which was very unpleasant. In this world, except for the Dingbei garrison, who is willing to sell the high-grade Tuliao war horses of the two countries? The two countries are not greedy enough and take the blame for themselves.
Ten days later, the two sides successfully reached a package of cooperation agreements, not only in trade, but also in military terms. As for the division of interests after the war, it is still too early to talk about it when the war is won.
In view of the good reputation of the Dingbei garrison, the two emperors did not object to this and began to honestly fulfill the agreement.
Pharmacist Li was appointed by Li Shiluan as the generalissimo of the expedition, and led several armies of the Tang Kingdom, with a total of 60,000 elites, to assist the Northern Expedition of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment.
A large amount of grain and other logistical materials from the two countries also began to be transported one after another like flowing water, all the way to the camp of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment.
The garrison regiment was also assigned to the two countries as agreed.
Everything is in order.
On this day, Regiment Leader Liu suddenly received a secret message from Tongwan City!
