Chapter 552: Stabilizing the Country

At some point, the wind blew through the streets, bringing a deep chill.

On the side of the road, a few remaining leaves from the dead trees in the small courtyard also fell.

It drifted down with the cold wind, crossed the potholed stone road, and rolled down to the feet of An Dingguo.

An Dingguo bent down, picked up the broken dead leaf, reached out and rubbed the head of the earth dog tied to the table, the earth dog moaned comfortably twice, and licked the old man's palm. An Dingguo smiled, stroked the head of the earth dog, and muttered: "People are old and don't want to move." The old man's roots are here, and he doesn't want to go anywhere!! ”

"Have you ever thought about being an emperor?" An Dingguo kneaded the head of the earth dog, turned his head to look at Lu Heng, and asked with a faint expression.

Lu Heng, who was drinking tea, was slightly surprised when he heard the other party ask such a rebellious word, stopped the teacup, and looked at the old man in surprise. I don't know why he would ask such a thing......

Even those Yan Yunwei, who were eating and drinking, couldn't help but feel shocked after hearing this. His eyes were blazing on Lu Heng's body.

For them, Gongzi was very good to them, not only did they get out of the wanted warrant, but now they also obtained military status, and they are also the special military status of Da Zhou.

These bandits who lick blood at the tip of a knife, they are very simple in their hearts. Whoever is good to them, they are good to whom. Compared to the imperial court that ignored them back then, Gongzi was obviously much stronger than the imperial court.

As for the matter, where is the son going? They don't care.

They only knew that since they walked down Yunshan, they had followed Dinggongzi.

Whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, or a desert wolf smoke. Or a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, a leisurely life. They all followed.

"If you become the emperor, the An family will never be willing to submit!" An Dingguo smiled and said seriously.

Lu Heng shook his head and poured out the tea that had been blown into the dust. Then I thought about getting a new cup of tea, but when I looked up, I saw the scene of the wind blowing in the street and the dust being swept up. Yi Xing shook his head and pushed the teacup aside.

"I'm not that material!" Lu Heng stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of dry grass that fell on the robe. Said lightly.

An Dingguo smiled, as if he had already guessed Lu Heng's answer.

He thought about it, turned his head, and asked Lu Heng: "The prince will definitely reign in the world, right?" ”

"Yes!" Lu Heng nodded and said seriously.

"If ......" An Dingguo lowered his head and hesitated, raised his head, looked at Lu Heng, and asked with a smile: "If you say, the An family decided to return to the imperial court." Can the prince not blame the past for the An family? ”

After asking, An Dingguo picked up the tea station, took a sip, and then looked at Lu Heng with a smile in his eyes.

Although he tried his best to make a relaxed appearance, he ......

The tea has long since become muddy water.

Lu Heng was amused in his heart, and frowned: "You have to ask the prince to go, or rather, it depends on your sincerity!" However, I think if your sincerity is enough. When the crown prince ascends the throne, not only will he not hold you accountable, but he may even reward you! ”

When An Dingguo heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. looked at Lu Heng fixedly, bowed his hand, and his voice trembled a little: "I also hope that Lord Lu will show you a clear way!" ”

Although Lu Heng did not give a definite answer, he just asked him to ask the prince. But the next sentence revealed a very important message.

That is, if An Jia wants to be exempt from sin and want to preserve a century-old foundation, he must do something.

Lu Heng sat there steadily, thinking quietly.

On the side, Su Qianqian turned her head and saw Xiang Gong contemplative, looking at Xiang Gong's angular face and deep and wise gaze with a stupid gaze. was sweet in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

It is said that men are the most handsome when they are obsessed with something.

And so it was!

In the distance, Yan Yunwei's voice chatting also quieted down, for fear of disturbing Childe's thoughts.

After all, it's winter, and the temperature is very low. In addition, it is windy again, and after sitting for a long time, my legs and feet will inevitably be a little numb.

Lu Heng stretched out his hand, rubbed his legs, turned his head, and glanced at An Dingguo. said lightly: "The Tubo people in Liangzhou were let go by you, right?" ”

An Dingguo nodded: "Yes!" ”

At this point, there is no need to hide it. Moreover, Anjia also has no such capital.

"You guys, you have to cut off relations with Tibet!" Lu Heng glanced at him and said lightly: "Completely cut off!" ”

"No problem!" An Dingguo didn't think about it, so he nodded and replied.

The cooperation with the Tibetans was not pleasant, and the barbarians were extremely rough and extremely ambitious. Thousands of people even wishfully captured the Great Zhou Dynasty and commanded the world, but they are really a bunch of frogs at the bottom of the well, and Yelang is arrogant.

I think of the Turkic envoy who is still living in his home, spending his days drinking and having fun with prostitutes. An Dingguo couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, how could he cooperate with these barbarians. When I get back, I'll kill them all.

"Then, you need to block the passage from Qinghai to Tibet. It is strictly forbidden to enter Tibet, such as tea, silk, salt and iron, vegetables, grain and other materials! Lu Heng thought about it and told him word by word.

"Uh......, without these, how can the Tubo people eat?" An Dingguo was surprised.

"Why don't you go and give them some?" Lu Heng glared at him angrily and scolded with a smile.

"Ahem!" An Dingguo coughed embarrassedly, his old face was hot.

However, at this time, An Dingguo completely understood Lu Heng's intentions. Lord Lu's move is tantamount to directly cutting off the lifeblood of the Tibetan people, and if this economic blockade policy continues for three months, the Tibetan people will be self-defeating.

It takes no effort to take Tubo, what a good strategy!

"Plus!" Lu Heng thought quietly, his fingers lightly touched the table, and said lightly: "At the same time, you need to cooperate with the imperial court and take a walk!" ”

"What's the news?" An Dingguo was surprised.

"The reincarnation of Amitabha Buddha appeared in Qinghai, and co-opted the Gelug, Sakya and other sects to hype up this matter in Tibet! As for the name of the reincarnated ling, it can be set as, Panchen! Lu Heng leaned back in his chair, raised his head and smiled. The warm winter sun shone on his face, and it was warm.

However, such a smile, in the eyes of An Dingguo, is extremely terrifying.

Lord Lu's strategy is really a hidden evil, oh no, it's a wonderful pen. Divide the enemy from within and set up a religious leader close to the imperial court, so as to weaken the power of the ** lama, and make the power of the imperial court really enter the upper echelons of Tibet for the first time. From then on, if Tubo wanted to rebel again, it would be difficult to climb to the sky.

"The emperor's magic is clever, and his name is well deserved!" An Dingguo stretched out his thumb convincingly and praised Lu Heng.

Lu Heng smiled, and after muttering for a moment, he turned his head, looked at An Dingguo, and said lightly: "When this matter in Tubo is over, the emperor will forgive your sins!" ”

An Dingguo smiled, lowered his head and thought about it, and nodded slightly.

However, then, An Dingguo raised his head and looked at Lu Heng again, and asked unrelentingly: "If the An family takes this opportunity to unite with His Royal Highness the King of Shu, what do you think is the chance of winning?" ”

"Ichisei should have!" Lu Heng thought about it and replied seriously.

One percent?

When An Dingguo heard this, he almost suffocated to death. raised his head, stared at Lu Heng with wide eyes, and was speechless for a while.

"Look!" Lu Heng smiled, then stretched out his hand, took a few teacups on the table, and placed them in front of him. took out a teacup and put it aside, then pushed a few teacups in front of the teacup that he had put down at first, raised his head, and glanced at An Dingguo. He bowed his head and said to himself: "A reserve army of 100,000 people in the imperial court has arrived in Lanzhou, and you must know about it." This unit did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Turks. It's designed to deal with you. In addition, there is also the Wuning Yuan Department of the Qilian Mountain generation. Combined, the two armies numbered as much as 150,000. You have 10,000 elite cavalry in your hands now, oh, if that small country in the Western Regions is generous, you can only gather 50,000 troops at most. Do you think you can use 50,000 cavalry to conquer Lanzhou, which is the leader of 100,000 elite soldiers? Besides, even if you break through the Lanzhou defense line, how many people are left in your hands? There are dozens of cities from Lanzhou to Tokyo, what are you going to do? ”

"We can go south without fighting Lanzhou!" An Dingguo, who was criticized by Lu Heng as useless on the phone, defended himself with a red face.

"To the south?" Lu Heng looked at An Dingguo with a smile and asked in disbelief: "Do you want to use those 50,000 horses to attack Chang'an?" ”

Lu Heng looked like you don't make trouble, shook his head and said, "This joke is not funny at all!" ”

"If you say that, what is the chance? Not at all! An Dingguo retracted his gaze angrily, bowed his head and sulked.

"There are still any!" Lu Heng smiled and said, "If you can break it into pieces and sneak into Tokyo to assassinate the emperor, you can cause large-scale turmoil." When the time comes, there may still be a chance! ”

"Come on!" An Dingguo waved his hand, and said, "There are 30,000 Imperial Forest Troops in Tokyo City!" ”

"Uh......" Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "So you know?" ”

"Are you a fool to be an old man?" An Dingguo was furious, and his hair trembled in unison, and his momentum was extraordinary.

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, raised his head and laughed.

After staring at Lu Heng angrily for a while, An Dingguo couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and laughed.

"Okay, the old man won't bother the adults. Time was urgent, so the old man left for home. Damn, those Tubo savages show off their might at home one day, and they really think they are a character. Lao Tzu has long seen that they are unhappy, dry!! An Dingguo stood up scoldingly, subconsciously grabbed the rag on the table and wiped his mouth. Then he bowed to Lu Heng: "Farewell!" ”

Lu Heng nodded, and arched his hand: "In the spring of next year, Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the peach garden, and when the time comes, Lu hopes to see the figure of the head of the family!" ”

"Haha!" An Dingguo was stunned for a moment, then hugged his fists and smiled: "Definitely!" ”

"Farewell!" After An Dingguo bowed, he bent down and followed the earth dog tied to the table leg, and then swayed away. 、

At this time, the sun rises in mid-sky.

The sun shines on the ancient city of Zhengzhou, and the streets and alleys are bright.

The old man led the dog and walked down the noisy and prosperous street. The figure gradually disappeared into the bright sunlight in the distance of the street.
