Chapter VI Invitation to War
The more Zheng Nan thought about it, the more he was amazed, and the more he thought about it, the more convinced he became, this Lanling King was really a genius who was not born in the world, unprecedented. He thought so, but the ten strong representatives were thinking about other things.
One of them, Zou Gouyu, is from a worse family in this group, but he also has a younger sister who has a worse family background, her husband is dead, and he is alone with four children, and now he almost lives by begging.
So Zou Gouyu doesn't care whether the scholars and the powerful of the family have to pay taxes, how the poorest people he cares about live here: "Brother Erniu, then Duji Dao, there are no poor people?" For example, if there are no men in the family, all the elderly, women and children, how can they live? ”
Er Niu was about to speak when he heard the sound of the bell ringing outside, Er Niu hurriedly got up, bowed to Zheng Nan and the other ten elders, straightened up and said to Zou Gouyu: "This brother, I'm going to work, let's put it this way, of course there are such people as you said, but King Lanling and King Jianning have also taken care of it."
Find them some of the simplest, easiest jobs, watch the door, take care of the children, it's really difficult to take care of them, although they can't afford to eat meat, but at least they won't be hungry, you can just go and see it......"
Erniu's words and the great changes in the Luoyang area gave Zheng Nan too much shock, and he still can't forget Erniu's expression when he said these words, he was full of pride and superiority.
And Liang Xiaoshan Zou Gou Yu is extremely envious of the life of the people in Dugi Dao, thinking that he can come to Dugi Dao to work or King Lanling and King Jianning can manage them together, anyway, the two places are not far away, how good it would be!
And they heard the elders who came with them ask Wang Liulang. Say why this Erniu knows so much. The answer is every worker. If you want, you can go to night school in the evening to learn how to read, and someone will explain these things to them on weekdays so that they can understand them clearly.
This Four Seas Trading Company, this Lanling King, is also too good, the ten people silently prayed in their hearts, hoping that the Lanling King will become bigger and bigger. The Four Seas Trading Company is getting better and better, and it is best that King Lanling can be the prime minister, and when the time comes, the people of the whole Tang Dynasty will be able to follow him and enjoy happiness.
Then, with their own thoughts, the group saw Xiao Quai, the king of Lanling, who had brought them too much shock.
"A few old people, it's hard to come from afar, and the bumps on the road can still be eaten."
The twenty-three-year-old young prince took the old man's hand and said very enthusiastically, which made these ten people a little restrained. I thought to myself, not with three heads and six arms as preached. With a big waist and a round waist, he wants to eat people when he is angry, he is a very handsome young man.
"The king of Lanling has built the official road of Dugi Road flat and straight, and the four-wheeled carriage is fast and steady, so there are no bumps." Zheng Nan said with some embarrassment: "King Lanling, we came here, originally wanted to ask King Lanling to lead the Tiance army to conquer Nanzhao, but I didn't expect Luoyang, only to know that King Lanling is ready to go to Nanzhao, I'll wait ......"
Xiao Quzhi understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "You didn't come in vain, you are guests from afar, these days the employees of the Four Seas Trading Company will take a few people to the vicinity of Luoyang to take a look around, what to eat, what to play, what to buy, all paid by the Four Seas Trading Company, okay?" ”
"Ah......" Several elders looked stunned, there is such a good thing, this can be copied, the ten strong representatives are even more excited, and at the same time, they feel that the king of Lanling is not good.
Of course, Xiao Quzhi has his own plans, how much money can it cost to take them to play for a few days? But the affluent life of the people of Luoyang spread.
People are afraid of comparison, and when the time comes, the people of Kannai Province and Gyeonggi Province will naturally have their minds floating, and then see the difficult and difficult life they live, and if they want to run but can't run, they will hate Yang Guozhong, who presides over the government, and by the way, hate the emperor who does not think about the government and is drunk and dreams of death.
Zheng Nan reacted: "Then how embarrassing, the little old man is useless." ”
Xiao Quzhi smiled and said: "How can it be useless, old lady, you came to ask me to send troops to recruit Nanzhao this time, did you bring any books of 10,000 people?" ”
"Naturally, I brought it." Zheng Nan took out a scroll of silk silk from his bosom, on which were the expressions of their elders from Gyeonggi Province and Kannai Province imploring the Tiance Army to go on the expedition, and below it were dense paintings and finger prints.
"This is a great achievement, a few old ladies, who are sick and unaccompanied." Xiao Qubing took the silk scroll, and said in his heart that it would be much easier to do now. In fact, you don't need this Xiao Qu's illness to ask for battle, but if you have a reason, it's more sufficient, no, he, Yang Guozhong, is not much worse.
Xiao Quzhi arched his hand at everyone, turned around and left with Wang Yujue, Zheng Nan and the other twenty people were still a little stunned, and after half a salary, an old man asked: "What did King Lanling do?" ”
"The prince will take his uncle home, and then he will leave for Chang'an, and he will be able to see His Majesty tomorrow morning. Come with me, and I will arrange a place for you to rest and lodging. A small steward of the Four Seas Trading Company waved his hand and made a gesture of please.
These twenty people were a little stupid, and it took four or five breaths before anyone reacted, and while following the steward, they muttered: "King Lanling is really a good man, a god man......"
When the twenty people were divided into two tables, eating the delicacies prepared for them by the Four Seas Trading Company, drinking sweet fruit stuffing, and whispering about what they had seen and heard along the way and their impressions of Xiao Quai, Xiao Quai, who was talked about by them, had already driven out of Luoyang on a little red horse, and at sunset, he saw Li Longji in Xingqing Palace on the second day, and then almost at the same time, Yang Guozhong also arrived.
During this time, Li Longji had already played so much that he didn't know what his surname was, and his relationship with Xiao Quai's illness was still in the honeymoon period.
In addition to making him so young all of a sudden, and pushing him to the palace once every six months, it also brought him so much money and fun things.
And according to Wang Chengen and Yuan Siyi's report, Xiao Quzhi does not have much enthusiasm for power and wealth, but more thoughts and desires, one is to accompany his wife, and the other is to charge into battle.
Li Longji thinks about it, this is indeed the case, as a result, his wariness of Xiao Qu's illness is almost gone, and Xiao Qu's illness is invited, and he almost does everything.
"Fuchen, you're going to fight Nanzhao?" Li Longji and Yang Guifei asked almost at the same time.
Xiao Quai's illness hasn't replied yet. Yang Guozhong quit. Stand up. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, if the minister has a play, Nanzhao will be pacified." The minister was preparing to launch the Jiannan Army to give Nanzhao the last thunderous blow, and Nanzhao would be destroyed soon, and He Laotiance's army traveled thousands of miles to conquer. ”
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Xiao Qu, meaning that we had reached an agreement. If you want to coexist peacefully, what's the matter with you dismantling my platform now? Nanzhao is the war zone that I, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, is responsible for, and you have already made so many achievements, and you still want to come to take credit from me?
Xiao Quzhi sneered in his heart, and said in his heart that you casino gangster are really selfish and paranoid to the extreme, for a little empty face and competition for favor, it is not enough to bury so many people's lives, and now you have to continue to fill in people's lives.
The key is, if you fill it in, it's okay to say that you can win the Nanzhao soldiers. The problem is that you are not this material at all, but you have to pursue any military exploits. And then you have to take so many lives, as well as the vitality of Datang, to play a game that you can't win at all.
In another time and space, most of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was consumed in the hands of Yang Guozhong's grandson, and several conquests of Nanzhao were wiped out, and it turned out that there were about 80,000 garrisons in Guannei Dao, and he was all thrown to Nanzhao to die and sent away, and the three thousand most elite light cavalry of Tiance Mansion in Luoyang were estimated to have died in Nanzhao.
As a result, in the end, when An Fatzi rebelled~, Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi of Luoyang and Shaanxi County, who were ordered to defend, could only temporarily recruit some market merchants to resist An Lushan's hundred battles.
Later, Ge Shuhan took his Longyou army to defend Tongguan, and if he insisted on it for another month or two, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi would be able to hit An Lushan's hometown in Youzhou, but Yang Guozhong in order to fight with Ge Shuhan (of course, Ge Shuhan is also responsible, Ge Shuhan's generals have suggested that Ge Shuhan take this opportunity to blackmail the emperor to kill Yang Guozhong), knowing that the battle is death, Yang Guozhong pushed Li Longji to forcibly attack, and sent away hundreds of thousands of Longyou troops.
The so-called prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, who was born in a casino gangster, has never cared about other people's lives, and hundreds of thousands of people are not as important as his face in his heart.
From beginning to end, this guy is a villain mentality and gambler mentality, and now he is using this psychology to guess himself, and imply himself confidently, boy, you have crossed the line, you don't give me face!
Xiao Qu said sickly, at the beginning, I reached that settlement agreement with you, it was to gain a foothold and exchange for space for development, and now Lao Tzu is about to become a big trend, and he doesn't care about turning his face with you Yang Guozhong.
Xiao Quzhi sneered, didn't bother to deal with Yang Guozhong at all, took out the book of the people from his arms, and said: "Your Majesty, one, the training of the Tiance Army has been completed, and it has not yet gone through a big battle, and the minister is ready to pull them out for training."
Both, what Yang Xiang said is not true, Jiannan's soldiers have conquered Nanzhao several times, but the whole army has been annihilated, why should Nanzhao be pacified? Yang Xiangqiang conquered 200,000 soldiers in Guannai Province, Gyeonggi Province, Hebei Province, and Henan Province to prepare to conquer Nanzhao again, and he was preparing to take his life to fill in Nanzhao.
However, the minister dared to conclude that even if Yang Xiang filled in the 200,000 soldiers, he would still not be able to defeat the Southern Zhao. The reason is that these Ding Zhuang who were forcibly conscripted, one by one heard that they were going to Nanzhao, they were all frightened, and every family in the point is now crying and screaming, life and death, just ask such an army, no matter how many people there are, how can they win the enemy? ”
Yang Guozhong's face turned red and white, white and red, he kept trembling, and said hurriedly: "King Lanling, you are talking nonsense......"
"Your Majesty, please see, this is a letter of 10,000 people from the elders of Dugi Province who asked the minister to lead the Tiance army to the southern edict, if you don't believe it, you can ask the Tiance internal guard or Your Majesty to go to Gyeonggi Province in person to see it."
Li Longji opened the book of 10,000 people and took a cursory look at it, he also had a relatively clear understanding of the character of Xiao Yang and the others, and he had his own judgment in an instant.
Then Li Longji closed the book of 10,000 people, glared at Yang Guozhong, turned back to Xiao Quzhi and said: "I am approved, in addition, I will give you the right to act cheaply, and you should be responsible for the Nanzhao war, I hope that the auxiliary ministers can play a triumphant song as soon as possible and come back to see your nephew be born." ”
Then Li Longji reprimanded Yang Guozhong a few words, Yang Guozhong retreated with hatred, and after he left, Li Longji was immediately happy again, and said to Xiao Quzhi with a smile: "Fuchen, what music music box did you bring to me this time, and you have to give me a blood push before leaving." ”
Xiao Quzhi opened the wooden box he brought, and said with a smile: "The music box of the two children's songs brought this time is a gift from my uncle to my little nephew, one is called "The Snail and the Oriole Bird", and the other is called "Little Donkey", which is very good. ”
Li Longji became younger, Yang Guifei's body was also conditioned a lot, and then she became pregnant, with the playback of the music box, Xiao Quzhi also sang happily: "Amen, Aqian, a grapevine, Amen, Aen, the green land has just sprouted, the snail is on its back, the heavy shell, step by step, climb up, Ashu, Ashang, two oriole birds......"
catchy, relaxed and lively melody, vivid and interesting lyrics, it didn't take long for Li Longji and Yang Guifei to sing along, the atmosphere was harmonious, and there was laughter.
At the same time, Yang Guozhong, who returned to the Yang Mansion in Xuanyangfang, was gritting his teeth and scolding: "Rats and dogs, Xiao is sick, rats and dogs dare to do this!" ”
Mrs. Yang Yuyao persuaded on the side: "Third brother, that kid is a madman who likes to fight, what are you angry with him, let him fight the Nanzhao for you, and in the end, the Nanzhao is not under the control of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy?" If you have the time to put your breath down, you might as well think about it, how to ask him to catch a little more, the guy is a God of Wealth ......" (to be continued.) )
