Chapter 4 Seeking the country for several years in a snap of a finger (I)
"Everyone, let's go back to the station." Li Congjing glanced at the avenue, saw Yelu Deguang, sat down with a smile in his eyes and made a gesture of invitation to everyone, and went to the post station first, followed by Mo Li, Du Qianshu, and Tao Yaoyao.
There are not many people brought by Yelude, and the left and right can't be here to Li Congjing, but it seems weak when there are more people with him, and now he is still in his own territory, if he has to bring thousands of troops and horses, wouldn't he dare to enter the Tang Dynasty and see Li Congjing in the future? He's certainly not going to lose ground in momentum.
Seeing Li Congjing and others enter the post station from a distance, Yelu Deguang stopped his horse in front of the post station. Standing high on horseback, Yelude stared left and right, and shouted in Khitan dialect: "Where is Li Congjing? β
The words came out, but no one responded, the scene was surprisingly quiet, and the needle drop could be heard, which was embarrassing. Yelu Deguang was angry in his heart, and he didn't wait to get angry, but he found that there was not a Khitan nearby, and he stood solemnly in the former, all of them were Tang soldiers with their heads held high and their eyes not squinting.
Yelude looked at the gate of the post station, his heart was extremely uncomfortable, fortunately, there was no smell of blood and traces of fighting around, the Khitans here should not have been slaughtered, I am afraid that they received an order to evacuate - needless to say, this order, except for himself, only Shu Luping can give this order to Huanglong Mansion except for himself. Who called him in a hurry, but he didn't ask Shu Luping for the details.
Yelude simply didn't ask any more questions, dismounted and rushed towards the post station, but unexpectedly, the Tang army soldier standing in front of the door actually stretched out his hand to stop him, with an inviolable look on his face, and asked coldly: "Who is coming?" β
Yelude Guangda felt humiliated, Huanglong Mansion was originally his jurisdiction, and Li Congjing was a guest, but now he is in such an anti-guest state, how can people not be annoyed? He, Yerod, came here, and he was even stopped and interrogated! The guards behind him were immediately furious, and they stepped forward one after another, wanting to draw their knives and force their way in.
In this compartment, the Khitan warrior drew his sword as soon as he came out, and the Tang army armor also took his sword out of the sheath for three points, and the two sides were tense, and no one refused to let anyone score.
Fortunately, Yelu Deguang is not an idle person, he stopped the movement of his personal guards, stabilized his mood, and said coldly in front of the door: "The dignified King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty actually made such a little trick disgusting me, don't you feel that it is a loss?" But he said this to the door in Chinese.
Meng Songbai appeared in the door at the right time and glanced at Yelu Deguang, "Since your envoy is here, please come in!" As he spoke, he leaned sideways.
Yelu Deguang stepped into the door without moving, and his personal guards followed, with Meng Songbai leading the way. Until the backyard, but I saw a stone table in the courtyard, and who was sitting in front of the table, not Li Congjing? Yelu Deguang motioned for the guards to stop, stepped forward himself, and said after a little salute: "Li Congjing, long time no see!" β
"Yerod Light, don't come unharmed?" Li Congjing responded with a smile, motioned for Yelu Deguang to take a seat, poured a cup of tea for the other party in his hand, and invited Yelu Deguang to taste.
Yelu Deguang was neither worried about the difference in the tea, nor was he polite to Li Congjing, so he sat down, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, which was considered a full courtesy, and then said unhurriedly: "You are polite." β
"Hospitality, as it should be." Li Congjing's smile makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"This is the Huanglong Mansion of the Great Khitan Kingdom, here, I am the master." Yelu Deguang looked at Li Congjing and corrected his words.
Li Congjing's smile remained the same, and his tone did not change, "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." β
Yerod sneered, "Your Excellency's appetite is very big, but you are not afraid of breaking your belly?" β
Li Congjing picked up a cup of tea in front of him and took a sip, "What, you don't believe it?" β
"I don't believe it." Jerod's light path.
"Then I will tell you today that in my lifetime, the Khitan will definitely become the territory of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Congjing put down the tea bowl, "You can remember this sentence, I said this sentence." β
Yerod looked at the joke, "What if you remember it or not?" Let me believe that you got the Khitan with one mouth? He suddenly leaned forward and stared at Li Congjing, "Or, do you want me to believe that those conspiracies of yours can subvert the Great Khitan Kingdom?" β
"That's not a conspiracy." Li Congjing met Yelu Deguang's gaze, his smile was light and breezy, like white clouds drifting, like streams flowing, "Back then, the Khitan was embattled, the Bohai Sea was lost, and the West Building was defeated, including letting Yelu Bei defeat you, successfully ascend to the Khitan throne, and exile you to Buyeo, do you think all this is a conspiracy?" No, that's not a conspiracy, I'm telling you, it's a conspiracy. Just as I tell you today what I plan to do in the future, and tell you all the final results, you can't control the course of events, whether you believe it or not, it will be so. β
Yelu Deguang withdrew his gaze, his sitting posture returned to normal, and said disdainfully: "If you think that to this day, I will still lose my mood because of your words, you are too naΓ―ve. β
Li Congjing sat still and continued to make tea, "Yelu Beixi's expedition to the black car is intended to restore Yelu Abaoji's hegemony, and this ambition is a commendable move to the world and history." It's a pity that this time you want him to die halfway, and then take his place and sit on the throne of the Khitan Emperor. This process will be very bloody, fratricidal brothers, it is never a good thing in the world, it is the same in both public and private, and the desperate fight between the two forces will also make the Khitan blood flow. After this battle, you will ascend to the throne, but the Khitan will also be greatly injured by this battle, not to mention the restoration of the national strength of Yelu Abaoji when he was in power, or to restore the Khitan national strength created by Yelu Bei today, which is not a one-time effort. β
"This is exactly what Datang wants to see, the balance of forces on the grassland is the foundation of the stability of my Datang border. In the next few years, whether the Tang Dynasty is to conquer Wu in the south, or to completely pacify the south of the Yangtze River, there will be no worries, the Khitan has no strength to make waves again, whether it is to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty in the south, or to invade the Linguo and other tribes - the Tang Dynasty only relies on the two towns of Lulong and Datong, which is enough to deter the grassland for several years without war. β
"Right now, the Khitan country has a sign of prosperity, Yelubei's westward expedition, with my Lulong and Datong towns, I can't afford to make Yelubei give up this idea, of course, the reason why Yelubei dares to go west is also to see that you will see the Bohai Kingdom for him. It's just that although Lu Long can't start a war against the Khitan, it's more than enough to drag you back, not to mention that there is Bohai by the side. β
"The Khitan Zhongxing is something I don't want to see, in order to make the Khitan state decline again, I must let your brother start a dispute again, so not only Lu Long will not hinder you, I will also guarantee that the Bohai State will not attack you."
Speaking of this, Li Congjing looked at Yelu Deguang playfully, "How, even if I tell you my plan, can you give up your plan to fight with Yelubei?" Will you let go of this golden opportunity and give up on the Khitan throne? β
Yerod stared at the tea bowl with a blank face, silent.
"I know what you're thinking, I might as well tell you you're right." Li Congjing glanced at Yelu Deguang, "When I supported Yelu Bei to ascend to the throne, the reason why I didn't want your life, or let you never recover, but strongly advocated banishing you to Fuyu Mansion, this is all my idea." The purpose of this is to give you a chance to make a comeback, and to let you fight again with Jerebe today! Of course, I was not mistaken, and you did not disappoint me, and to this day, you finally have the capital to compete with Yelube. β
"Only in this way will the Khitan state decline again and again, and eventually from a behemoth on the grassland to an ordinary force that is powerless to invade its neighbors." Li Congjing smiled, "The weakness and equal strength of other countries are the best way to ensure that my Tang Dynasty dominates the world!" β
Yelu Deguang clenched the tea bowl, his eyes were hidden, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How can you be sure that if I go to the West Building this time, I will definitely be able to pull Yelu Bei off the horse?" β
Li Congjing's smile was calm and calm, "With your strength today, although it is not without a chance, but if you really want to compete with Yelubei, the king of a country, and win, even if there is a gap exposed by Yelubei's expedition to the west, it is not enough, you still need someone to help you." β
"Who is this man?"
