Chapter 109: A Parting Entrustment

"I don't know what the king has to say when he comes here late at night?" It was late at night, and Xue Rengui was about to sleep, but suddenly heard his son Xue Ne say that Li Xian was visiting, and couldn't help but be stunned in his heart.

I saw that Li Xian also had a serious face, and bowed to Xue Rengui and said: "Xiao Wang came here without him this time, mainly to make suggestions to the general, and to hope that the general Kenna." ”

"The king has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as the general can do it, he will definitely do his best." Xue Rengui was grateful to Li Xian for sharing a lot of credit with his son, and even more grateful to Li Xian for everything he had done for Xue Ne, including finding a way to make him apprentice Cheng bite the gold, and vigorously cultivating him to become a qualified general, so he immediately said angrily.

But seeing that Li Xian's face was still serious, he said solemnly: "Now that Goguryeo has perished, my Tang Dynasty has 176 cities, 697,000 households, and has set up the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion nine, the prefecture 42, and the county 100, and the general has been appointed as the Metropolitan Protector of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, which is really gratifying, and I believe that with the means of the general, it will not be long before the situation in Goguryeo will be stable, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment." However, the general had to pay attention to the movements of Silla. ”

"Silla?" Xue Rengui frowned immediately after hearing this, and said thoughtfully.

"Yes, it's Silla. Now that Baekje and Goguryeo, the land of Sanhan, have perished, it only takes more than ten years for my Tang Dynasty to be completely assimilated by my Tang Dynasty, but the royal power of Silla is still there, so I have to guard against it. Although I, the Tang Dynasty, set up the Gilin Prefecture Governor's Mansion in its place, appointed the King of Silla as the Governor, and sent officials by the imperial court to restrain him, but if the King of Silla really has different intentions, the officials condemned by my Tang Dynasty have three heads and six arms, and it is difficult to do anything, so they can only become ghosts under the sword. ”

"No, Silla and my Tang Dynasty have been allies for many years, and my Tang Dynasty is so powerful that even Goguryeo has perished, is Silla impatient to live? How dare you provoke my Tang Dynasty? Xue Ne on the side listened to Li Xian's words, and first expressed his disagreement, and before Xue Rengui could speak, he said categorically.

When Li Xian heard this, he smiled and said: "Brother Xue doesn't know, in terms of diplomacy, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests, when Silla was bullied by the Goguryeo and Baekje coalition forces, he had to take refuge in my Tang Dynasty, and formed an alliance with my Tang Dynasty, using my Tang Dynasty to balance Goguryeo and Baekje, and later my alliance army repeatedly Baekje and Goguryeo, and successfully destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo successively, in the process my Tang Dynasty benefited, but Silla also benefited a lot?" Especially the fall of Goguryeo, many soldiers and people took the opportunity to surrender Silla, which also greatly increased the power of Silla, in case of change, Silla only needed a short time, to mobilize a large army, capture the hometown of Baekje, cut off the sea passage of our army, and then take advantage of the situation to besiege Pyongyang, occupy the entire territory of Sanhan, in this way, my Tang Dynasty for decades of campaign, is not to make wedding clothes for others? ”

No matter how stupid Xue Ne was, he knew how correct Li Xian's words were, and couldn't help but murmur: "How should this be?" I Datang worked hard to pacify Goguryeo and Baekje, how can I give it to others? ”

However, Xue Rengui on the side was quite interested in Li Xian's sentence "making wedding clothes for others", and praised Li Xian's metaphor for the appropriateness, and the witty words were amazing.

Li Xian plagiarized Qin Taoyu's famous sentences two hundred years later without shame, and at the same time accepted Xue Rengui's praise contentmently, and also assumed the responsibility of educating Xue Ne: "This matter is actually not difficult, move the wealthy families of Goguryeo to the mainland, and at the same time move my Tang Dynasty exiles to the hometown of Goguryeo, so that they can reclaim the fields and borders, and at the same time, our Tang Dynasty soldiers will implement military cantonment in the garrison and establish a horse farm, which can not only garrison and defend, but also solve the problem of grain and grass." In addition, he was allowed to intermarry with the people of Goguryeo, and then built a school and allowed students to participate in the imperial examination. ”

"Of course", looking at Xue Rengui, who nodded and praised again and again, Li Xian continued: "These things must be done slowly, don't be impatient and rash, otherwise once the contradiction is aroused, it will be out of control, Xiao Wang came to see the general today, mainly to ask the general to be careful to guard against Silla, and pay attention to cultivating talents, the general should know that although my Tang martial arts are prosperous, but the frontier can not be regarded as too stable, especially in the southwest of Tubo, which helps Mangsong Mangzan, but his late grandson Gar Qinling, the grandson of the great minister Lu Dongzan, is really a generation of famous generals, If he leads the troops, and then unites the Turks in the northwest, the Khitan and Xi people in Liaodong, etc., the four towns of Anxi will be in danger. At that time, I am afraid that the general will be transferred to the front line, and Silla will definitely take the opportunity to raise troops when he sees an opportunity, and if the Goguryeo royal family is supported again, I am afraid that not only Silla will not be able to control it, but this place will no longer be owned by my Tang Dynasty. ”

"Huh?" After listening to what Li Xian said, a trace of essence suddenly appeared in Xue Rengui's eyes, and then he arched his hand and said: "I didn't expect the king to be so far-sighted, Rengui is not enough, please rest assured, Rengui will do his best to select and train elite soldiers, train generals, settle the people, and capture the hearts of the people (people's hearts) to ensure that this place is not lost, and strive to build a defense against Silla." ”

In this way, Xiao Wang can rest assured. There is a general under my account, named Yang Siqi, who is the son of the late Goguryeo general Yang Wanchun, who is known for his prestige among the people of Goguryeo, and is good at pacifying. If there is a chance, Li Xian will naturally not mind letting his generals go through the experience, this is naturally also an opportunity for Li Xian to install people in the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and it is also an opportunity to tie Xue Rengui to his chariot.

In fact, Li Xian is a bit unauthentic in doing this, because Xue Rengui is a direct minister, although there will be things such as killing prisoners and robbing on the battlefield, but he will never do things such as forming a party for personal gain, and Li Xian took advantage of the fact that the other party was employing people, and at the same time thanked Li Xian for his kindness to his son Xue Ne, and forced the talents under his command to others, obviously trying to win over Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui is not stupid, naturally he faintly guessed Li Xian's intentions, but he couldn't refuse at this time, even if he put his feelings aside, he really needed such a talent, and now Li Xian is sending charcoal in the snow, whether it is public or private, he should accept this talent. Of course, the premise is naturally that that person is indeed a talent, otherwise Xue Rengui would never raise idlers in vain.

Therefore, after Xue Rengui heard this, he nodded and said: "This is very good, the last general is indeed in short supply of such talents, but the king has done the last general a great favor." In this case, the king will order this man to serve in our army tomorrow, and if he really makes a great contribution, the general will definitely ask for merit for him. ”

In fact, Xue Rengui still has potential words that have not been said, so if the so-called talents do not make meritorious contributions, don't expect to have any care.

However, Li Xian had absolute confidence in his people, so he just smiled and showed understanding.

After that, Li Xian proposed to learn martial arts with Xue Ne, and at the same time let the great master Xue Rengui give guidance, and Xue Rengui agreed without hesitation.

Xue Ne thought that after more than a year of battlefield training, his martial arts would have improved greatly, and Li Xian should not be an opponent, but after a competition, he was frustrated to find that the gap between him and the other party was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart: It seems that Li Xian's talent is so high, he is really a freak, and if he wants to surpass him, I am afraid there is no hope in this life.

In fact, Xue Ne didn't know that the reason why Li Xian's martial arts were able to progress so quickly was not only because of his talent, not only because he comprehended more when he was living and dying on the battlefield, but also because there was an important reason, that is, the broken marksmanship that he learned from Yuannanjian was said to be derived from the powerful marksmanship of the Wumourning Heavenly King!

Li Xian fused those styles of marksmanship with his own marksmanship, making his marksmanship a little more domineering and ruthless, and his moves were more concise and effective.

"Just these few incomplete marksmanship can improve my marksmanship so much, if I can get a complete marksmanship, I wonder what level my marksmanship will improve?" After the victory, Li Xian did not have the slightest smug look, but thought about how to get that complete set of marksmanship.

"Since the King of Mourning Heaven is buried in Dragon City, then I might as well return to my old business and explore the tomb of King Mourning Heaven, maybe I can gain something."

On the way back to his camp, Li Xian had been thinking about this problem in his mind, and in the end, he finally couldn't help but do his old job, and obtained the marksmanship of the Martial Mourning Heavenly King by means of tomb robbery.

Although Li Xian also knew that the Heavenly King of Wu Mourning was actually killed and buried after being captured by the Murong clan, the probability of having marksmanship in the tomb was almost equal to zero, because if there really was, the Murong clan must have learned it first, and it was impossible to stay in the tomb at all. But if you don't see it for yourself, you will definitely not be reconciled, so I decided to try my luck.

"The great martial mourning king, whether I am in the past life or in this life, I admire your heroic deeds, in the north of the five chaotic and demons, my Central Plains Han people are regarded as pigs and dogs, and they were brutally killed and ****, but you dare to duel with them, although a killing order has been criticized by later historians, but it is this killing order that makes the land of Kyushu finally appear hot and yellow, so that my Chinese race has not been extinct, and civilization continues, if it is not for the former martial mourning king, how can there be today's Tang Dynasty? How can there be thousands of years of Chinese civilization in later generations? ”

In the vast night, Li Xian took a deep breath, and with deep reverence for the Martial Mourning Heavenly King, he said silently: "I know that it is disrespectful to you to move your tomb, but for the sake of my Huaxia to be able to make greater progress, in order to let my Chinese civilization spread all over the world and no longer be threatened by the alien Hu people, I can only do this, I hope you can forgive me." Please rest assured, I promise you that in the future, I will definitely move your mausoleum back to the Central Plains, and I will re-negotiate with you and praise you for your merits for my China.
