Chapter 102 The Second Year of Qianning

"I think if I were given five thousand soldiers and horses, I would be able to complete this task." I don't know when I appeared in front of the threshold of the living room, Fu Cunxian said with a smile.

Li Cunhuan's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly relaxed, "Dexiang (Fu Cunxianzi) What are you going to do?" ”

Fu Cunxian walked into the living room with a smile, came to the big map, pointed to a certain place and said: "The Jurchens and the Murwei people only need to pay a certain amount of wealth, and I believe they will be happy to draw their sharp scimitars against the Khitans." And at this time, the lord's army of 10,000 appeared in Yingzhou, and I believe that even if Khan Hindjin didn't want to, he had to give up this land. ”

"Dexiang is really my Li Weigong (Li Jing)!" Li Cunhuan did not hesitate to exaggerate his exaggeration of Fu Cunxian. "But where do I get 10,000 horses?"

Fu Cunxian said with a smile: "The lord is really in the game, and he can't see the surrounding situation clearly. It is only necessary to order the soldiers to bring more flags, and the cavalry change into different clothes and often go out, not to mention 10,000, even 20,000 or 30,000 are possible. But I think 10,000 horses is the best, which is more common sense and not easy to find. ”

"Fu Cun Trial Order!" Li Cunhuan's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Fu Cunhuan solemnly and said.

Fu Cunxian immediately knelt down on one knee, and responded in a voice like a bell: "The end will be!" “

Li Cunhuan took out a tiger talisman from his waist, quickly signed a document on the desk, took it to Fu Cunshen and said, "I appoint you as the Lu Long Observation Envoy to lead 5,000 loyal and filial piety troops to inspect the northern frontier. ”

"The last general obeys!" Fu Cunxian and Li Cunhuan both showed a smile that could only be understood.

Yelu Abaoji walked over and said, "Then it seems that I have to prepare to go on an envoy!" ”

Li Cunhuan said slightly apologetically: "Abaoji, thank you for your hard work!" But this time you're traveling as a deputy. ”

"Chengliang bothered you to go in person this time, as an official trip, after all, this time it will be more formal, which will make those grassland people feel our sincerity!" Li Cunhuan said to the eldest grandson Chengliang on the side.

The eldest grandson Chengliang said with a smile: "This doesn't matter, and tell the lord a good news, Feng Dao recommended by the lower official has arrived in Zhuozhou, and he should be able to come to Youzhou tomorrow, I just hope that the lord will send someone to receive him." ”

"Well, you can arrange for a family member who knows Feng Dao to meet him at the city gate. received him and sent it directly to the Jiedu Embassy. Li Cunhuan said with a smile.

The eldest grandson Chengliang saw that Li Cunhuan had received him properly, and he also responded with a smile: "The lower official obeys the order!" ”

In the first year of Qianning, in winter, after Lu Long stayed, Li Cunhuan sent the marching army Sima Fu Cunxian to inspect the northern Xinjiang as an observer, and in November of the same year, the Jurchen and Murwei raided the Khitan in the south, and Fu Cunzhen led 10,000 troops to be stationed on the border between Lulong and the Khitan.

In the same month, Khitan Jinde Khan begged for an alliance with Lulong, cut Liaodong City, and paid tribute to 500 horses and 1,000 sheep per year (year).

In the same month, Li Cunhuan received the holy decree of the imperial court and was canonized as the envoy of the Lulong Festival, and was awarded the festival Yue. On the same day, Li Cunxiao was appointed by Li Cunhuan as the deputy envoy of Lu Longjiedu, and he also dispelled some of the ideas of the conspirators who provoked the relationship between Li Cunhuan and Li Cunxiao.

In December, Li Ke exchanged the families of Fu Cunshen and Zhou Dewei for Li Cunxin, Gai Yu and 1,000 captured Shatuo people. However, the world also knows that the evil of Hedong and Lulong has become an irreversible trend.

However, in February of the second year of Qianning, when Lu Long had just finished spring ploughing, there was a news in the south that shocked everyone. Yisheng Jiedu made Dong Chang emperor.

This was a move that made everyone dumbfounded, and at that time, Dong Chang was the feudal town with the most worship to the imperial court in the world. In fact, this offering was just a face for the imperial court from the feudal town at that time. It seems that Lu Long, Chengde, and Wei Bo, who were already dissatisfied with the management of the imperial court in the Middle and Tang Dynasty, did not give a single copper plate to the imperial court. That is, this year, Li Cunhuan ascended the throne and just sent two hundred taels of gold to the imperial court, which is already more than the total number of envoys of the Lulong Festival since the Middle and Tang Dynasty to the imperial court. However, this Dong Chang was very sincere to give a lot of worship to the imperial court, and the imperial court had a lot of dependence on Dong Chang's worship in terms of finance at that time. Therefore, Dong Chang was in the eyes of the world at that time, although he was stupid, he was also the most loyal envoy of the Tang royal family.

But probably because of this, Dong Chang's request for Tang Zhaozong to canonize him as the king of Yue was refused, and he went crazy. actually claimed to be the emperor, the country name was Dayue Luoping, called himself a "saint", and he also used gold to cast a seal.

However, all this is nothing special for Li Cunhuan, because in Li Cunhuan's view, Dong Chang is a fool, in terms of territory, he is not as good as Zhu Wenda, in terms of strength, he is not as powerful as Li Ke, and in terms of local prestige, he did not defeat Yang Xingmigao, who had tens of thousands of soldiers in Shouzhou two months ago. In terms of righteousness, he is not as high as Tang Zhaozong. Such an idiotic festival envoy, if he does not die, Li Cunhuan doubts that the southern festival envoy is not stupid.

But now the most important thing for Li Cunhuan is to crusade against Lu Yanwei, the envoy of Yichang who killed Li Kuangchou. However, Li Cunhuan did not act recklessly, on the one hand, his army has not yet been trained, and on the other hand, the war has just begun, and now it is the time when there is no success. When Li Cunhuan was preparing for the autumn harvest, he led his troops south, on the one hand, he could eat the enemy, and on the other hand, he could also take the opponent by surprise.

So Li Cunhuan sent his henchman Chen Changfeng to Chang'an to go to the court to crusade against Lu Yanwei. Of course, in order to win the favor of the imperial court, especially now that Dong Chang is in rebellion, the imperial court's money bag must have shrunk a lot. Chen Changfeng also brought five hundred taels of gold, equivalent to 500,000 yuan. Li Cunhuan believed that the imperial court would be very satisfied with this offering.

However, just as everyone's eyes were on the south, another even bigger storm appeared in Guanzhong. Wang Chongying died of illness in the middle of the river, and the soldiers and horses in the river supported his nephew Sima Wang Ke as the envoy of the river festival. However, Wang Xingyu refused to do so, and he not only supported Wang Chongying's son Wang Qi against Wang Ke, but also sent his younger brother Wang Xingyue to attack Hezhong.

Zhu Wen also openly supported Wang Qi, and there was a paragraph in the court above that said, "Keben and my family should not be the heir." "The head of the man means slave. Zhu Wen means that Wang Ke is just a slave in my family, and he can become an heir there!

However, in the face of so much oppression, Wang Ke was not afraid, in fact, because he had a big backer, he was Li Keyong's son-in-law. It can also be seen from here that the name Qianning did not give Tang Zhaozong a trace of peace. Even idiots can see the stormy situation in the pass.
