The purpose of Dadu's lurking in Datang is to add chaos to Datang behind the scenes and weaken Datang's strength. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The existence of the Eastern Turks is a potential hidden danger of the Tang Dynasty, although the Eastern Turks are destroyed, but those Eastern Turkic soldiers who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty still exist, and they are employed by the Tang Dynasty to fight for the Tang Dynasty. On the surface, he thought he was a member of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, he was separated from the Tang Dynasty soldiers by the same Turkic people living in the Tang Dynasty.

The Eastern Turks are brave and good at fighting, and it is well known that in the case of the same equipment, only in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, the Eastern Turkic soldiers must stabilize the Tang Dynasty. After all, nomads have an innate advantage in this regard, and this is not something that can be easily changed.

Dadu also took a fancy to this, and planned to split the Eastern Turks from the Tang Dynasty, so that most of them lost tens of thousands of brave and good soldiers, and added tens of thousands of strong enemies.

But the news brought by Hu Shang made him completely dumbfounded, he only thought that the failure of Ashina's association rate would only bring the situation back to square one, and they still had a chance. Unexpectedly, at this critical time, the Eastern Turks actually intended to merge with the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, they fall into passivity and fall short.

"What the hell is going on?" Dadu set up a gaffe and asked again, anxious, this Tang Dynasty is already strong enough, and then absorb the remnants of the Eastern Turks, and take the elite people who are brave and good at fighting for their own use, the already unclimbable peak will become more majestic, and when the Tang Dynasty attacks Xue Yantuo in the future, how can it resist?

Hu Shang's real name is Burt, on the surface he is a very common Hu merchant, but behind the scenes, he is Xue Yantuo's royal businessman, who specializes in traveling between Chang'an and Xue Yantuo, while using the specialties of the north to Chang'an to do business, and at the same time using eyeliner to explore some major situations in the Tang Dynasty, just in case.

Dadu set up to follow Boult's caravan to Chang'an and secretly planned all this. Except for the meeting with Ashina, he almost always hid in the inn and handled things by directing Boult.

For Dadushi, Boult is his eyes and ears.

Seeing that Dadu was so anxious, Boult hurriedly said: "Actually, I don't know very well, but I vaguely heard through some informants that some things are both true and false...... It seems that because of the Ashina association rate, the court questioned the Eastern Turks' refusal to integrate into the Tang Dynasty, thinking that they had two hearts. In order to dispel this doubt, Ashina Sheer personally admitted the fact of the demise of the Eastern Turks, and went to the place where the Turkic remnants lived with Zhizhi Sili to persuade them to integrate into the Tang Dynasty. The young master should know the status of Ashina Sheer in the hearts of the Eastern Turkic people, and he personally came forward, so he naturally achieved half the result. ”

Dadu also heard the name of Ashina Sheer on the grassland, and knew that what Burt said was true, and he hated it even more in his heart, and he was depressed to death. A good strategy of differentiation, in the end, it succeeded Datang, increasing Datang's strength for no reason, making him feel like he was shooting himself in the foot.

Burt also knew the harm of the integration of the Eastern Turks and the Tang Dynasty to Xue Yantuo, and said worriedly: "Young Patriarch, what should we do next?" ”

Dadu's palm couldn't help but open and clench, the thoughts in his mind turned rapidly, and he said in his heart: "No, we must not let the Tang Dynasty and the Turks merge, this is too dangerous for me Xue Yantuo, too dangerous." ”

In fact, there is another key point in the embarrassment of Dadu's association with Ashina.

Xue Yantuo was originally just two small tribes in the north, but it was because he climbed the high branch of the Tang Dynasty and occupied the territory of the original Eastern Turks that he gradually grew and reached his current heyday.

That is to say, Xue Yantuo's current focus is on the territory of the former Eastern Turks, and once he launches an attack on them Xue Yantuo by the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turkic mercenaries who are familiar with the terrain will make all their defense lines and furnishings have nothing to hide. However, as long as the Eastern Turks and the Tang Dynasty are enemies, there is no need to worry about this.

In order to prevent this from happening, secretly connecting the Eastern Turks is the most important purpose of Dadu's trip, and now the strategy has failed, not to mention, the Eastern Turks actually want to integrate into the Tang Dynasty. Once this matter is successful, the future war between the two countries, those Tang troops who are familiar with the terrain will definitely become their nightmare.

Generously set up a hurried back and forth.

Boult couldn't think of any way to deal with this already ironclad thing, and said impetuously: "Damn Ashina Sheer, it's a big deal for us!" ”

Dadu paused suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he smiled fiercely: "Boult, you are right, Ashina Sheer really deserves to die, not only him, but also the stubborn and thoughtless, he also deserves ......to die."

Burt looked at the magnanimity exuding a murderous aura all over his body in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "Young Patriarch, don't you really want to ......" He didn't dare to say the next words, and his face became extremely pale. This assassination of the Tang Dynasty General is not an ordinary crime, if the real culprit behind the scenes is found and investigated, Li Shimin's anger will drown the entire Xue Yantuo and make Xue Yantuo disappear in history.

After a long while, he spoke: "Young Patriarch, this is not a joke, you are gambling with our entire nation. ”

Dadu Shi glared at him angrily and said, "You don't know when I don't know? But we must do this, let Ashina Sheer and his attachment lose their thinking power and continue to live in this world, which is really too harmful to us Xue Yantuo. Only by killing them can we relieve the future troubles and stop the integration of the Eastern Turks and the Tang Dynasty. We don't take advantage of the glimmer of life now to gamble on this, and wait until the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turks are completely integrated, and that will be the end of my Xue Yantuo. We can't fight back. He blushed and said, "Don't worry, I will be foolproof, I will never make a move without being completely sure." ”

Just when Dadu was plotting with Boult, Chang'an City won a pair of young men and women.

The man's waist is graceful with a long sword, and the woman's waist is equipped with a scimitar, which is delicate and lovely.

The young man glanced at the woman with beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, and smiled pityingly: "Little junior sister, you're tired." After three days of driving, do you need to take a break, anyway, the master is not in a hurry. ”

The sweet smile, who was called "Little Senior Sister", smiled and said, "If it's not in the way, don't worry about me." It's been more than a year, and Ling'er wants to see her father-in-law and his old man earlier...... In fact, the senior brother wants to see the master and his old man more than Ling'er. ”

The young man didn't deny it, just smiled.

The little junior sister walked briskly, thinking: "Unconsciously, a year has passed, and I don't know if my father-in-law has suffered in prison." ”

The young man shook his head affirmatively and said, "No, Qinglian promised me, he said that he would take care of the dots from time to time, and he would never let the master be wronged at all." ”

The little junior sister muttered, "You believe him so much!" ”

"It's nature!" The young man smiled confidently: "I believe in my vision, Qinglian is a friend worth making, since he promised my business, he will not be perfunctory." This is a man's promise, and you girls don't understand it. ”

The little sister pursed her mouth dissatisfied.

These two are Li Yifeng, the eldest disciple of Zhou Zhenwei, the owner of the Jiangnan Zhenwei Martial Arts Museum, and Zhou Lingling, the righteous daughter.

In the middle of the year, Li Yifeng and Zhou Lingling walked the world, and they took care of the bulletin board outside the government office according to the agreement, and everywhere they went, they often posted some vicious criminals as rewards.

They are like bounty hunters, specially for Datang to catch these criminals.

The more vicious the criminals, the more they are often trained and cannot be dealt with by ordinary officers and soldiers. Li Yifeng's martial arts are strong, and he is the nemesis of these criminals, and within a year, there are dozens of absconding criminals in his hands, half of whom are martial arts people who are difficult for ordinary officials to deal with, and there are also some gangsters who were famous for their murder more than ten years ago.

While the two were talking, they had arrived at Du's Mansion.

I was about to knock on the door, but I heard a surprise call from behind me: "Yifeng, Miss Zhou, long time no see!" ”

The two turned around in surprise, only to see Duho riding a horse behind them.

Since the Ashina Association led the matter to end, Du He has put his mind on the integration of the Eastern Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and he is naturally happy to see that things are surprisingly smooth. Together with his colleagues in Shangshu Province, he discussed what decisions to promulgate to make the Eastern Turks integrate into the Tang Dynasty more quickly and become a part of the Tang Dynasty.

His real concern was not the common people, but the Eastern Turkic soldiers. The Turkic soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and their combat power is not far behind the elite of the Tang Dynasty. What they lacked was sophisticated equipment and armor, and the cooperation with each other. As long as they integrate into the Tang Dynasty, they will get excellent armor and good training. With their original skills, it won't take a year for them to become a powerful existence, and Datang will also add a strong team that is brave and good at fighting.

On this day, he was thinking about the affairs of the Turkic soldiers, and suddenly realized that a problem existed, so he hurriedly put down everything in his hand, confessed, and returned to the Du Mansion.

"Qinglian!" Li Yifeng also screamed, stepped forward and stretched out his arm.

Syllable!!

Holding his hands together, Li Yifeng said, "It's been a long time!" ”

When he met his old friend, Du He was in a happy mood and laughed: "It's been more than a year, this year is not a long time, but your name has already been thunderous to me, especially when you eliminated the horse thief in Mopan Mountain, it's really happy!" ”

The Mopan Mountain horse thieves turned out to be a group of robbers entrenched in Mopan Mountain, and that was a long time ago. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and the horses and thieves in the Mopan Mountains roared in the mountains and forests, and they did all kinds of evil. After the unification of the world, the horse thief had difficulty gaining a foothold in Mopan Mountain and fled to the Liaodong generation.

They are thieves and often enter the Tang Dynasty in groups to loot. There were only 50 of them, and they specially chose weak villages to rob, came and went like the wind, and fled from the territory of Datang as soon as they saw that the momentum was not right, and the local officials had a headache about it.

Half a year ago, Li Yifeng gathered ten fellow disciples and brothers, entered Liaodong, found the nest of the horse thieves in Mopan Mountain, wiped them all out, and wiped them all out.

This matter spread through various channels, and even Duhe in Chang'an heard about it.

Li Yifeng said politely: "This is nothing, I am a martial artist, and this is the only thing I can do." It is comparable to Qinglian for the country and the people, and every plan and strategy can benefit all people. ”

"Hah!" Du He smiled: "Don't say polite words to compliment me. I don't have any good for you...... Let's go into the house and have a good chat, I just have something to ask you here, I hope you can do me a favor. ”

Li Yifeng said without hesitation: "As long as it is within my ability, Qinglian will say that it doesn't matter, it's just that today is my master's birthday, I want to ......"

Du He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Understood, understood, then we will leave immediately, I can call the shots, let you meet Master Zhou, as for the time, I will try to delay it for you." ”

He didn't say a word, and took the two to the prison where Zhou Zhenwei was held.

The prison is located in the Dali Temple, and the Dali Temple has been passed through.

When he came to the prison, the guards at the door narrowed their eyes when they saw him coming, smiled and greeted him loudly.

Du He is ruthless to the enemy, but to his friends, he is a lot of money, he promised Li Yifeng to take care of Zhou Zhenwei, so he did not break his promise. Every few months, he would come to the prison and give the jailers a small amount of money to take care of them.

Both sides are already familiar with each other.

The jailer said, "General Du came to see Elder Zhou again?" ”

Du He took out the note approved by Dali Siqing and said: "Today is Zhou Lao's birthday, his apprentice and daughter came to see him, this is Dali Siqing's consent order." ”

Zhou Zhenwei committed the crime of rebellion, although he was exempted from death, but it was a repeat offense, and outsiders who wanted to see him needed a release note approved by Dali Siqing himself.

The jailer confirmed that it was correct and led the two inside.

Their master and apprentice's daughter recounted the old days, and Du He did not follow up, but took care of everything outside, and according to the custom, gave some small money to the jailer. This is not a bribe, after all, it didn't make them do anything illegal and taboo, but just let them be kind to Zhou Zhenwei within the scope of their ability.

After waiting outside the cell for a while, I thought about it and went out to buy a pot of high-quality Du Kang.

Back in Dali Temple, the jailer saw the wine in Du He's hand, and his face showed embarrassment. Prison felons, unless they die and under special circumstances, are not allowed to visit, let alone bring things.

Du He said in a low voice: "Just accommodate this time, a rare birthday, you just treat it as if you didn't see it, I will bear it." ”

Take other people's hands short, eat other people's soft mouth.

They all accepted the benefits of Duhe, and it was not easy to refuse, they hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Just this time, don't take it as an example!" ”

Du He gave the wine to Zhou Zhenwei and said with a smile: "Pavilion Master Zhou, this wine is considered to be my birthday celebration for you." ”

Zhou Zhenwei's eyes lit up, and he smiled happily: "Good, good, good!" I didn't know the taste of wine for a year, and the wine worm in my stomach has already turned the sky upside down. He couldn't wait to tear open the mud of the wine jar, and drank it carefully but impatiently.

Out of the prison!

Zhou Lingling was still immersed in the separation from Zhou Zhenwei, in a bad mood, and didn't say a word.

Li Yifeng was full of emotion, and said gratefully: "Master's body is still so healthy, thank you Qinglian." ”

Du He shook his hand unmindfully and said, "You're polite, aren't you?" Who with whom, in fact, I didn't do anything, just a little bit, and everything was still according to the procedure. "He asked the jailers to take care of it, just to make them care more, and did not engage in any specialization, what other criminals ate, he also ate. After all, Zhou Zhenwei made a mistake and went to prison to admit his crimes, but he didn't enjoy it in a prison cell.

Li Yifeng also understood Du He's difficulty, and didn't say anything, paused and said, "Didn't you say that it would be useful to us before?" We are idle and idle, so let's just say what we have to do. ”

Du He nodded, "That's true...... There is no hurry in this matter, go to my house and talk about it. ”

When he came to Du Mansion, Du He asked Changle and Li Xueyan to take Zhou Lingling to play in the mansion, enlightened her casually, and pulled Li Yifeng to the hall to explain his intentions.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want you to help me protect someone."

Li Yifeng said: "It's no problem, who is it, don't be a woman!" ”

Du He looked at him playfully, and the latter was a little red-faced, and smiled secretly: "Don't worry, I won't let your backyard catch fire." It's a man, and it's very important to me in the Tang Dynasty, it's the general of our dynasty, called Ashina Sheer. ”

Li Yifeng coughed embarrassedly and asked, "What happened, did General Ashina meet an old enemy, or was he intimidated?" ”

Du He said: "If there is really a person, then you don't have to worry about it." The problem is that there is no such person, and there is no intimidation, which is wishful thinking on my part. ”

"Ahh Li Yifeng opened his mouth wide and looked at Du He dumbly, puzzled by the meaning of his words.

Du He didn't know how to explain, and thought for a while: "This is my personal thought, in fact, General Ashina has been dealing with the integration of the Eastern Turks and my Tang Dynasty recently, and this matter has a lot to do with it, and it is of great benefit to my Tang Dynasty." Of course, there will also be some people involved, and I am afraid that such people will be detrimental to General Ashina. Maybe I'm suspicious, but I have to guard against it. ”

Du He had this idea because of a reverie that arose when he was thinking about how to integrate the Eastern Turkic soldiers into the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible.

The army is different from the common people, and the people of the Eastern Turks are accustomed to a stable life, so they are unwilling to go through the war and are willing to integrate with the Tang Dynasty, which is reasonable. But the same idea does not necessarily arise with the Eastern Turkic soldiers, who are all warriors and are unlikely to be afraid of battle, and some prefer to fight. Because for soldiers, fighting means merit and reward.

There is no shortage of right-wing extremists in any nation-state, and there may not be no such people among the tens of thousands of soldiers in the East Turks. In order to achieve their goals, the extremists will do anything.

The assassination of Ashina Sheer and the loss of thinking power can effectively stop the integration, and the extremists may not take risks.

Thinking of this, Du He felt that he needed to make preparations first, in case of an accident that interrupted their deployment.

So, he left Shangshu Province, planning to call Huangfu Haohua and Ba Yuxing to protect Ashina Sheer and Zhizhi Sili, but unexpectedly met Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng is strong in martial arts, and he seems to be the most suitable candidate.
