In fact, Li Yanqing did meet Feng An. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the two did not discuss any question of the actual surname. In fact, the reason why the two had the opportunity to meet was because Zhang Zhongjian wanted to meet Li Yanqing, which was realized. Judging from the situation at that time, Feng Ang still had some hesitation...... Regardless of whether Emperor Yang of Sui was wise or mediocre, he did give a lot of tolerance in dealing with the Feng family. In particular, Feng An's grandmother, Madame Xian, was deeply favored by the Sui Dynasty. During the Kaihuang period, she was named the lady of the country, and in the Renshou year, she was chased as the lady of Chengjing.

This is undoubtedly a great grace for a woman of an ethnic minority.

Betraying the Sui Dynasty like this?

At that time, it was indeed difficult for Feng Ang to make up his mind.

However, he did not refuse Li Tang's kindness. Because judging from the situation at that time, the momentum of King Li Tang was already extremely strong, and it was very difficult to stop it. Therefore, Feng Ang maintained a neutral state, hoping to wait for a suitable opportunity to take a stand.

Even if Li Yanqing captured Xuanhua, it only made him shake slightly...... What really made Feng Ang make up his mind was the attitude of Empress Dowager Xiao. When Zhang Zhongjian was ordered to come to meet with Li Yanqing, Feng Ang knew that he had to make a decision.

Since Empress Dowager Xiao has decided to give up the world, why should he be foolish?

However, Feng Ang was still very interesting, and after learning that Zhang Zhongjian urgently needed sea ships, he immediately secretly transferred more than 60 large sea ships from Yazhou to assist in the evacuation of Empress Dowager Xiao. At the same time, Feng Ang also sent his second brother Feng Xuan to Nanyang with Empress Dowager Xiao...... This Feng Xuan is Feng An's half-brother, who has been engaged in overseas trade for many years, and at the same time has a secret identity, a pirate!

This person is very familiar with the sea route to Nanyang.

At the same time, Feng Xuan also had a fleet of nearly 100 sea ships in his hands, and had several secret supply points on the sea route to the South Seas.

Empress Dowager Xiao has Feng Xuan's help, and it will be much smoother.

As for Feng An, although he lost part of his strength, he did have a peace of mind.

The so-called bankruptcy and disaster avoidance, if you can sever relations with the Sui Dynasty in this way, it can be regarded as solving your worries...... Li Yanqing and Feng Ang met with Haimen Town after meeting with Zhang Zhongjian. The two didn't intend to hide it from the outside world, so it was quickly known.

Li Yanqing did it deliberately.

Feng An, it doesn't matter about this...... The current situation is already clear, and since you have made up your mind, it is not of much significance to twist and pinch and cover it up.

But in Luo Dou's view, does the meeting between Li and Feng mean that the two will form an alliance? Or is there a mystery inside?

Not long after, news came from Lin Su, who was far away in Jiaozhi.

Li Yanqing recruited 600 slang people from Yazhou and intended to form an army...... Sure enough, this guy wants to monopolize the wealth of Zhenla Kingdom and Tianzhu!

Luo Dou felt a huge pressure!

Li Yanqing saw that the fire was almost over, and he knew that he should give this guy some hope.

With a look of embarrassment on his face, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, then sighed and said, "It seems that the Slang King already knows about this?" ”

Luo Dou was noncommittal, looked at Li Yanqing, and didn't say a word.

"Okay, since you are open and honest, then Wang Suo's surname will make things clear.

That's right, Feng Ang and I did reach an agreement to form an expeditionary force of about 8,000 people. However, this expeditionary force is not owned by the imperial court, but a private army belonging to individuals...... I call it, mercenaries. We will accept the employment of the lord of the kingdom of Chenla, send troops to the kingdom of Chenla, and seize the city of Shan Wen...... King Slang must also know that the court has not yet made up its mind about the affairs of Zhenla Kingdom. But according to my information, the imperial court seems to be somewhat inclined to the rebels...... In this way, if we rush to send troops, it will inevitably make the imperial court dissatisfied. But if this team is hired by the lord of Zhenla, it has nothing to do with the imperial court, and it can't implicate you and me. ”

"Eight thousand?"

"Exactly!"

Luo Dou frowned and said, "Will Feng Ang agree?" ”

Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing, "How could he disagree?"

I didn't ask him to send his own people, but I could fill the army with slaves and prisoners of war, and the king would appoint a general to lead the army. ”

Prisoners of war, slaves?

Originally, it was not impossible for Luo Dou to spend 8,000 at once.

But the problem is that Luo Dou is really reluctant to hand over so many people to Li Yanqing...... But this slave and prisoner of war?

He Luo Dou is short of money and things, but he is not short of people!

After Ning Changzhen's death, Luo Dou annexed Qinzhou and obtained a large number of slaves and prisoners of war. Black slang people are not good at management, even if they have so many people, they don't know how to use them. Some of the black slang people simply sold those slaves, and some even killed them.

After all, with so many prisoners of war and slaves, huge expenditures are incurred every day.

But if they go to war...... Luo Dou's little eyes blinked and blinked, and the idea in his heart gradually became clear.

"King of Henan, Xiao Wang is only a shallow learner, but he also knows the truth of this noble soldier's speed.

As far as I know, Feng Ang didn't have many prisoners of war and slaves. It will take a lot of time to gather 8,000 men from him.

Lord Wang, you once said that the more time passes, the more prepared Ning Xuan will be in the wing.

In this way, Xiao Wang is willing to transfer 10,000 people and cooperate with the prince to form that, that, what kind of soldiers? ”

"Mercenaries!"

Shen Guang reminded Li Yanqing behind him.

"That's right, it's a mercenary!"

Luo Dou glanced at Shen Guang gratefully and nodded again and again.

"But...... If you conquer the kingdom of Chenla, the reward ......"

"The reward is the treasury of Shan Wen City! The lord of Zhenla said, the treasury is all owned by you and me. However, considering that these prisoners of war and slaves are not strong enough, even if we form a team, it may not be worth it. Therefore, I am going to stipulate that the proceeds of the soldiers on the battlefield can go to all individuals, and that thirty percent of the goods of the treasury can be sent for distribution among the soldiers, and the rest will go to the ...... Hey! ”

Li Yanqing smiled, where Luo Dou could not be clear.

It's just that letting him lose thirty percent of his wealth at once can't help but be a little painful.

Li Yanqing smiled again: "The slang king is heartbroken, and the thirty percent of the goods? ”

"Oh......"

Although Luo Dou is greedy for money, he is also ashamed, so his old face is slightly purple.

"O king of slang, there will be a brave man under the great reward...... When the sons and daughters participate in the war, they are not the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and they have no benefit, how can they serve their lives?

But the Slang King doesn't need to worry, it's not impossible for you to get back the goods.

The king heard that there is such a rule among the slang people: slaves and prisoners of war can redeem themselves, right? ”

Luo Dou thought for a moment and nodded lightly: "This is indeed the case." ”

In this way, the sons and daughters can keep some of the goods, and when the time comes, the king of slang can propose that as long as he pays a certain amount of goods, he can restore his free body. The slang king only needs to set the standard higher, and the lost money and goods will still be attributed to the slang king in the end? ”

"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan!"

After Luo Dou heard Li Yanqing's words, he was immediately overjoyed.

And Li Yanqing also showed a sneer that was not easy to detect...... Be proud, and see how long you can be proud!
