Caozhou Yamen, Xu Shiji frowned, looking at the letter in his hand, the letter was sent by Cui Mingan, and he wanted Xu Shiji to send troops to exterminate the rebellion of Fang and the county, of course, there are many rebels next to him.

Xu Shiji felt very embarrassed, according to reason, he should send troops, but now it is Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, who is sitting in Shandong, and without Li Yuanji's consent, Xu Shiji will not dare to send troops.

"General, there is movement in Bianzhou." Deputy General Huang Jin walked in and said a little nervously: "Cheng Yanjin has led 30,000 troops to come in the direction of Caozhou, general, Cheng Yanjin is not a good person!" ”

"Of course he is not a good person, he doesn't want General Ben to send troops." Xu Shiji threw the letter in his hand and said: "Lord Cui Mingan asked me to send troops to suppress the bandits, so Cheng Biting Jin killed him, tsk, this cooperation is quite good, do you now believe that the rebellion in Shandong has nothing to do with Guanzhong?" ”

Huang Jin's face changed, and he said, "This is the secret hand that Li Xin has buried a long time ago?" Huang Jin really couldn't imagine it when he heard it, but he didn't expect that Li Xin, who was far away in Jiankang, actually controlled the rebellion in Shandong.

"It may not have been related before, but now it definitely is, otherwise, Cheng Yanjin would not appear in this place now." Xu Shiji shook his head and said: "The problem at the moment is that I have to refuse this order, not only is the current Shandong military in charge of the King of Qi, but more importantly, Cheng Yanjin has already been killed." ”

"But, the bandits of Shandong?" Huang Jin said worriedly.

"Let the King of Qi send troops!" Xu Shiji sighed: "Cheng Biting Jin is not simple, he looks reckless, but in fact, he is very careful, like who?" Like Zhang Fei. If he succeeds, he will be out of control. Cheng Yanjin will immediately expand the battlefield and win more victories, and when Li Xin arrives at that time, he will see the army and unite with the bandits in Shandong. ”

"Will King Qi send troops?" Huang Jin said with some concern.

"There will be no troops, at least not now." Xu Shiji said without thinking: "Now that you send troops, you won't be the king of Qi." King Qi, he was waiting. Waiting for the imperial court to let him send troops and let Shandong be completely chaotic, he can get many things he wants. ”

"This?" Huang Jin obviously didn't understand the truth in this.

"It's not just King Qin who wants to compete for the crown prince, why can't King Qi? He is also the emperor's son, and now by His Majesty the Emperor's side, there are the crown prince, the king of Qin, the king of Qi, oh, and one more, that is Li Xuanba. Forget about the latter, the first three people can seize the position of the prince, the king of Qin has Taiyuan, the prince has Hebei, there is Youzhou, and the king of Qi wants Shandong! Xu Shiji analyzed carefully.

"It's all at this time, and it's really amazing to think about competing for the crown prince!" Huang Jin sighed a little.

"Why not. At the very least, the north and the south can be divided! Xu Shiji said with a smile: "The position of the Son of Heaven, everyone wants to have it!" Wasn't it the same with Li Xin back then? ”

"Then we just look at the rebels next to us arrogantly?" Huang Jin hurriedly asked.

"Wait!" Xu Shiji took out a piece of paper from the side. He wrote on it, and after half a ring, he folded the letter, put it in a sealed box, handed it to Huang Jin, and said: "This is the note that the general presented to the emperor, and it will be sent to the letter immediately." ”

"Yes. Or the general is wise. We really can't interfere in this matter, so we can only ask the emperor to call the shots. Huang Jin took the box with admiration.

Xu Shiji waved his hand and asked Huang Jin to retreat. After thinking about it, he took another piece of paper, wrote some on it, recruited a personal soldier, and said: "Send the horse to Taiyuan quickly, and ask the King of Qin to give an order quickly." ”

"Yes." The soldiers did not dare to slack off, so they quickly took the letter and retreated.

"Hehe, the current situation is chaotic, no one knows who will be able to win the final victory, and I Xu Shiji can only bet on both sides, whether it is the crown prince or the king of Qin, after ascending the throne, I will remember my good." Xu Shiji said proudly.

He wrote two identical letters, one was sent to Xindu and given to Li Jiancheng, and the other was to Taiyuan and told Li Shimin about the situation, this is not just his own practice, in Li Zhao's territory, there are many people who are like this, and they are betting on both sides. This is also a matter of no choice, who made Li Zhao like this in the country!

"Your Majesty, Princess Ashinayun asks to see you." On top of Jiankang Zhongshan Mountain, Li Xin looked at the surrounding scenery and whispered with Chu Suiliang about Shandong, but Shen Qianqiu behind him broke over.

"Ashina Yun? Could it be that something happened to the grassland? Li Xin was stunned when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ashinayun has come from afar, presumably there must be something important." Chu Suiliang reminded.

"What can be important, Xuanba made a move, Jieli Khan's army immediately retreated, Ashina Ni is not a simple person, he and Ashina Buzhen have blocked Jieli Khan's attack, although they have not completely recovered the lost ground, but they have barely maintained the situation." Li Xin said very calmly: "Ashina has already ascended to the position of Khan, just waiting for me to be canonized?" What can she do. ”

"This, canonization is not also a thing!" Chu Suiliang said with a smile.

"Let her come!" Li Xin sighed, speaking of which, Ashinayun is also his own woman, but he has not tasted it yet, and waved his hand and said.

Soon there was a sound of bells on the mountain road, and I saw a fiery interracial woman, holding a long whip, striding over.

"Ashina Yun greets Your Majesty." Ash Nayun also glanced at Li Xin on the other side and hurriedly bowed down.

"Pass the decree and canonize Ashina as the Khan of the Wild Leaves, and canonize Ashina Yun as a concubine." Li Xin glanced at Ash Nayun and said to Chu Suiliang.

"The minister will immediately let someone pass the decree to the Wude Hall and the queen's mother." Chu Suiliang hurriedly said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ash Nayun's heart suddenly relaxed, Li Xin said well, what she wanted from Chang'an to Jiangnan was the title of Ashina Li, although Ashina Ni and Ashina Buzhen both assisted Ashina Li, but in fact, the views and opinions of the two were not unanimous, it can be said that Ashina Li's position as Khan was not stable, so Ashina Yun would rush to Jiangnan in a hurry.

"Get up! Take a walk with me, the scenery of this Zhongshan Mountain is strange, and the place where the dragon and tiger are standing is not something you can enjoy outside the fortress. Li Xin beckoned and said. Chu Suiliang hurriedly gave up a position.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ash Nayun was stunned when he heard this, and soon understood, and walked up, but was gently held by Li Xin's jade hand, Ash Nayun blushed and twitched gently, but was tightly pulled by Li Xin, where can he be pulled away, he can only be pulled by Li Xin, with his head down, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. She used to be a princess on the top, when did she let people pull like this, only Li Xin had such an opportunity.

"Dengshan, what if I attack Shandong in winter? Can the soldiers endure it? Li Xin thought for a while and asked.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are tired, follow Your Majesty to Shandong, and fight in Shandong again, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Chu Suiliang thought for a while and said.

"By the time of next year, Li Zhao will probably increase his troops in Shandong. I'm afraid it's hard to take Shandong! Li Xin said with some worry.

"Your Majesty, it is very difficult to take the whole of Shandong, but if it is only south of the Yellow River, it is very simple, Your Majesty can order the sailors to block the Yellow River and prevent Li Zhao's army from supporting the south of the Yellow River. As for the rebel army in Shandong, the minister thought that he could let the Qi family brother go to Shandong, Qi Gongshun was very prestigious in Shandong, and let his three sons go, he would definitely be able to support the rebel army in Shandong. Chu Suiliang hurriedly said.

"Well, let Laizhou Hou and his three sons come to see me." Li Xin said to Shen Qianqiu. The Marquis of Laizhou in his mouth is the title of Qi Gongshun, if it was before, Li Xin might have named him the county duke, but now that Li Xin has founded the country, the county duke has been sealed a lot, how can he be named the county duke if it is not a great achievement? That's why he named Qi Gongshun a Laizhou marquis.

On a hilltop, Li Xin looked into the distance and had a wide field of vision, faintly seeing the Buddhist temple standing between the mountains and forests, the melodious bell sounded in his ears, and the sandalwood was permeated in the mountains.

"At that time, there were 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings were in the smoke and rain. In troubled times, Buddhism is often fascinating! Li Xin pointed to the temple in the distance and said: "It's just that there are more disciples of the Buddhist family, and it also has an impact on the imperial court, after all, these guys don't produce all year round, and some people think that if they escape into Buddhism, they will be empty, and they can get incense money. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, after the minister returns, I will discuss it with a few adults." Chu Suiliang nodded.

At this time, a group of people walked on the mountainside in the distance, among which there were several monks in robes, but there was also a scholar next to the monk, who was dressed differently from the Central Plains, which made Li Xin extremely surprised, and pointed to a few people in the distance and said, "That scholar doesn't seem to be my atomic citizen?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, you should be a Japanese national. It must be some Japanese monks and scholars who came to study in my Tang Dynasty. Chu Suiliang said in a low voice.

"Send Tang envoys?" Li Xin thought of a term, and asked with some curiosity: "Why, the people of the Japanese country came to my Datang, how could they come without a national letter?" ”

"Your Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, and I am afraid that it will not be until next year that Tang envoys will be sent to visit Your Majesty, and these people are from the previous dynasty. There are many Buddhist temples in Jiankang, and the Buddhist culture is extremely prosperous, and it is normal for Japanese people to come to study. Chu Suiliang hurriedly explained.

Only then did Li Xin understand, his brows furrowed, he snorted, and his mood suddenly deteriorated. At this time, the land of the Central Plains Shenzhou was undoubtedly very strong, but what about later! These students who studied in Shenzhou began to bully their teachers, and when they thought about it, Li Xin was a little unhappy. (To be continued.) )
