Chapter Twenty-Nine: Gold Everywhere

Luo Dou is greedy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After occupying Qinzhou, he almost ransacked the Qinzhou treasury, but did not give a penny to his soldiers.
In fact, when Li Yanqing saw Luo Dou for the first time in the mountains, he saw this guy's surname.
Mean and unkind, insatiable.
Those black slang people are just tools for Luo Dou to collect money. In the harsh environment of the 100,000 mountains, Luo Dou can still live very comfortably, while many black slang people can only live in shacks or caves to support themselves.
If you want to get the meat out of his hands, you have to pay more.
However, for Li Yanqing, the price paid will be recovered by him sooner or later.
Right now, the most important thing for Li Yanqing is to weaken Luo Dou's power. If you can convert those slang people into your own people, even if Luo Dou becomes the slang king, what can you do? As Li Shimin said: Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. When Luo Dou loses the people he relies on for his livelihood, what waves can he make? Li Yanqing is not afraid at all!
According to Yanqing's plan, after solving Ning Changzhen, he was going to Jiaozhi to visit Gao Shilian.
But Gao Cheng opened up a new train of thought for him, so that Li Yanqing had to change his plan and decided to test Luo Dou's tone first.
So on the night of the end of the war, Li Yanqing took Shen Guang and came to Luo Dou's residence.
Victorious, Lotus was setting up a feast in the camp and celebrating with all the caves under his command...... Hearing that Li Yanqing came to visit, Luo Dou couldn't help but feel a little strange.
As Li Yanqing guessed, Luo Dou is now complacent.
As soon as Ning Changzhen died, he was the king of western Guangdong...... As for the king of Henan who came from Chang'an, in his eyes, what is it?
He does have this capital arrogance, because after occupying Qinzhou, he has hundreds of thousands of slang people in his hands. And how many people are there in the whole western part of Guangdong? He Luo Dou can be said to have become the most powerful force in western Guangdong. Of course, Luo Dou will not be arrogant enough to accept Jiaozhou and Yongzhou if he wants to. If it really angers Han Jialang, it won't do him any good.
Luo Dou's goal is to be the king of Qinzhou.
However, what does Li Yanqing mean by coming at this time?
He's not going to Jiaozhou?
"Let him in!"
Luo Dou didn't even mean to get up to greet him, and sat on the main seat.
After a while, Li Yanqing came to the big tent.
There were dozens of old people in this military tent, and when they saw Li Yanqing coming in, they got up one after another.
"Lord Li, please take a seat!"
Luo Dou still didn't get up, and greeted him with a big grin.
If Li Yanqing was an ordinary person, or if the two met in private, his attitude would be nothing.
But Li Yanqing represents the Li Tang court, and Luo Dou does this, but it is a little inappropriate.
Several of the people present were old, with thoughtful expressions. Although that expression was fleeting, it was seen by Li Yanqing.
Yan Qing looked unconcerned, and sat down in the banquet.
"Slang King, this king borrows flowers to offer Buddha, first pay tribute to the Slang King and all of you are old, congratulations to you on your victory this time."
"Haha, congratulations! Congratulations! ”
Luo Dou can put on a lofty appearance, but it doesn't mean that those are old, and they will be the same.
Li Yanqing is polite, elegant and talkative, which makes these old people feel quite face-saving.
After everyone drank, Luo Dou asked, "Prince Li is not going to Jiaozhou, why did he come to me?" ”
He couldn't bear the surname, so he took the lead in asking questions.
Li Yanqing smiled, his expression was solemn, "King Slang, you are all old, although Ning Changzhen is dead, his son Ning Xuan is still there."
I have heard people say that Changzhen is a tiger, and Xuan is a tiger...... There are still a lot of people under this man's command! This king thought about it and felt that this Ning Xuan would definitely become a big trouble. Therefore, he took the liberty to come and disturb the princes and Yaxing, also to ask for countermeasures. ”
Luo Dou said: "It is not that the king is unwilling to send troops, but there are many battles, and the children are tired.
Besides, hasn't Ning Xuan already fled from Qinzhou? If he returns, I will not spare him. But if he doesn't come back...... Lord Li, you also know that slang people have slang rules. He escaped from Qinzhou, and I really can't pursue him. ”
Ning Xuan fled to the wingman department, located in the territory of Yungui.
It is said that Ning Changzhen has a lot of contact with the wingmen and is very friendly.
The wingman department, as the name suggests, is the wingman. However, these wingmen are all raw bureaucrats, which are different from the bureaucrats in Minshu.
In Qinzhou, Luo Dou can be said to be the same.
But if you hunt and kill across the border, you will violate the customs of the slang people...... When you cross the border and send troops, you are waging war against our subordinates. This kind of thing is not without precedent. If Luo Dou had a close relationship with the wingmen, he could kill Ning Xuan by ransom; But he was hiding in the mountains before, and it was too late to be suppressed by Ning Changzhen, how could he have the opportunity to contact the wingman department?
The rest were all old, and they also nodded their heads.
Seeing this, Li Yanqing couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "In this way, I lost a lot of goods in vain. ”
"Lord Li, how did this pursuit of Ning Xuan have anything to do with wealth?"
Luo Dou's ears were very good, and Li Yanqing deliberately said this, which immediately aroused his interest.
"I heard that the subordinates are extremely wealthy because of their proximity to Zhenla...... The princes may not know that during the Great Cause year, there was a rebellion in the Zhenla Kingdom. The rebels purchased ordnance through the wingmen, and the wingmen gained a lot as a result.
At that time, the lord of Zhenla sent an envoy to Funan to Luoyang for help.
It's just because it's a war, so I didn't pay attention to it...... I originally planned to launch an attack on the wingmen with the matter of Ning Xuan, and then wave my army south into Zhenla. Hehe, but since you're embarrassed, I'll look at this matter, forget it. ”
"Zhenla country, is it very rich?"
One of them opened his mouth to ask, and he was asking the question that Luo Dou wanted to ask.
Li Yanqing said with a smile: How to be rich...... I have heard people say that the land is full of gold, and there is abundant money and grain. The lord of Chenla was willing to exchange it for the treasury of the capital, and it is said that it was ...... Moreover, to the west of the Zhenla country, there is still the Tianzhu country. There are many Buddhist temples there, and the ground is paved with gold, and even the Buddha statue is pure gold. It's just that I don't have an excuse to start a war on my own.
It is said that the rebels of the Kingdom of Chenla have sent envoys to Chang'an, and if the imperial court accepts their request to surrender and wants to go to war again, there will be no excuse...... It's just a pity that so much money and goods can't be owned by me in broad daylight. ”
As he spoke, Li Yanqing also showed regret.
Luo Dou's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Okay, the envoy from Jiaozhou is still waiting for the lonely departure, so I won't bother you."
Li Yanqing said, got up and was about to leave.
Luo Dou finally stood up, "Lord Li, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" ”
"Oh, I'm really busy with business, so I have to go...... In this way, the king of slang and all of you can go back to Qinzhou by themselves, and if there is anything, I will discuss it when I come back. ”
Luo Dou was willing to let Li Yanqing go...... But Yanqing insisted on leaving, and repeatedly promised that he would return as soon as the affairs of the state were completed.
After Li Yanqing left, Luo Dou and the others no longer had the surname of drinking.
The treasury of the Zhenla country, as well as the gold everywhere in the Tianzhu country, made them feel extremely itchy in their hearts. But Li Yanqing only said half of it, which made them feel even more uncomfortable. After a long time, Luo Dou opened his mouth and asked, "Do you think what Prince Li just said, but is it true?" ”
"Oh, the rebellion of the kingdom of Zhenla, it is true.
At that time, the lord of Zhenla also borrowed the road from Qinzhou and went to Chang'an...... As for the gold everywhere in Tianzhu Country, I have also heard of it.
However, without the support of Prince Li, I am afraid it would be difficult to make the trip. ”
"Yes, and as soon as the children have a place to stay, let them go on the expedition...... I don't think so. ”
"King Slang, I just saw that Prince Li wanted to speak and stopped, and it seems that he has already come up with an idea.
If he goes to Jiaozhou, wouldn't it be ...... if he consults with others over there I heard that the Feng family of Panyu seems to have decided to submit to Prince Li. Such a good thing must not be cheap for the Feng family. It's good that we are black slang, but we have done Prince Li a great favor...... Otherwise, let's send someone to chase after him and ask Prince Li again? ”
Gold, gold!
At this time, Luo Dou's mind turned into gold.
"In that case, let Lin Su go."
Lin Su is one of the elders of the black slang, he is not too old, and his mind is also very flexible.
Everyone heard it and praised it in unison.
So Luo Dou immediately sent someone to find Lin Su and ordered him to chase Li Yanqing......—————————————————————————— in March of the fourth year of Wude, the Jingshan Sui army suddenly crossed the river to attack.
Li Shimin set up an ambush at Jingmen and defeated the Sui army...... In the midst of the chaotic battle, Du Fuwei was missing, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Li Shimin took the opportunity to forcibly cross the river, but what he wanted to greet him was just an empty city.
Fang Xuanling, when Du Fuwei crossed the river to attack, led his troops to withdraw from Yingzhou and defend Anlu. Although Li Shimin won Yingzhou, he did not hurt half of Fang Xuanling's vitality.
