Chapter 284 Dingxiang is slightly cold
On the Dingxiang grassland, Ashina Simo, the king of Heshun County, was a little flustered.
His original intention had not changed, and in principle, he had already agreed with Tu Li's proposal, and felt that this was a good opportunity to send troops south. All he was waiting for was the arrival of Yi Nan with Xue Yantuo's army, waiting for the Yellow River to be completely frozen.
Unexpectedly, at such a time, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, suddenly came to Dingxiang.
It doesn't make sense!
Many people, including Ashina Simo, had the same first reaction, knowing that the Dingxiang Grassland was a land of right and wrong, but they still wanted to come, and they really came.
This move is too unreasonable, Ashina Simo has been in Chang'an for a while, and he knows Li Zhi's identity and status in Li Shimin's heart.
At this time, what happened to Li Zhilai's decision? Isn't Li Shimin worried that he will kill his most beloved young son or take him hostage?
Ashina Simo didn't know that this was a private decision between Xie Yi and Li Ji, and in his cognition, no one except the emperor could decide this kind of thing.
If there is no leak of Kan Leng, it can also be said that this is the previous arrangement, or Li Zhi was unlucky enough to break in by himself. But the leaker has fled, and the Tang Dynasty should have received the news, and it would be very abnormal to have such a move at this time, which can only be said to be deliberate.
What do they want to do?
Ashina Simo was a little confused, and someone suggested that he detain Li Zhi immediately, but he hesitated, and he didn't dare until he figured out Chang'an's true intentions.
After all, there is no public rebellion now, so there is still room for maneuver in this matter, and Ashina Simo subconsciously has a feeling that he doesn't want to force himself into no way back.
It's better to meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin first and find out the true intentions of Chang'an.
If you don't tear your face, you have to follow the rules. In any case, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. Therefore, Ashina Simo still followed the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty and listed the formation to welcome Li Zhi, the king of Jin.
He is just a county king, while Prince Li Zhishi has a different status, dignity and order. This etiquette rule still needs to be there.
"Minister Li Simo meets His Royal Highness King Jin!" Outside the Dingxiang camp, Ashina Simo stroked his chest, lowered his noble head slightly, and saluted Li Zhi, who was the same age as his grandson.
Xie Yi, who came from afar, saw this scene, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Ashina Simo did not start to tear his face at the first time, which means that he hesitated.
Hesitation is a chance.
"King Heshun Jun, hurry up and excuse me." Although Li Zhi was still a little timid in his heart, his performance was very good, which can be called downright and generous. Quite a heavenly bearing. It seems that during a period of time in Hedong, I have gained a lot of exercise and progress.
"Your Highness came to Dingxiang, and the entire grassland was like a spring breeze." Ashina Simo laughed and said polite words, as if he had never said anything.
Li Zhi said with a smile: "This king went out to patrol the state and the northern border this time, and it was at the behest of my father and emperor to come to observe the life of the people on the grassland and greet the soldiers on the border. ”
Ashnasimo smiled on the surface haha. But my heart is getting more and more worried, what does this mean? It's completely unsatisfying! At this time, let a thirteen-year-old prince run to a place where war can be torn out at any time. It's really interesting.
I remember that there is an empty city plan in the Han people's war book, could it be that Guanzhong is empty and Li Shimin is playing an empty city plan? In order to deceive himself, he blocked his son's life, which can be described as a big gamble, and Li Shimin really has a heart.
But it is not ruled out that Chang'an is well prepared and deliberately lets a prince beat him. In any case, the Tang Dynasty did not want war to occur, and Ashina Simo agreed with this, so he did not feel that Li Zhi's intention was very abrupt.
Moreover, His Royal Highness King Jin's expression was very real. There is no such thing as forcing oneself to pretend to be fearless, even majestic. On the contrary, it seems to be straightforward, and there is also a little cowardice in the ease, after all, he is only thirteen years old, and in the chaos of swords, guns, swords, and halberds, it is false to say that he is fearless.
This reaction is real, not forced, and it shows that the south is not as empty as it is said.
Of course, King Jin is not very old, and what he says is polite, and he can't say anything. Therefore, Ashina Simo's eyes fell on Xie Yi, and he also heard about this Jin Wangfu Chief.
When I saw it today, my first impression was that I was young, and then I felt very confident.
It is really rare for a twenty-year-old boy to be so calm, what gives him such strong self-confidence? Is it just fearless daring?
Ashina Simo shook his head secretly and said with a smile: "I have heard of Xie Changshi's name for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to see it...... When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. ”
What a cheesy polite remark!
Xie Yi said with a smile: "The prince praised it falsely, he sent an envoy to Xue Yantuo last year, and he should have had the opportunity to visit the prince when he passed by Dingxiang." However, I encountered some accidents, and I didn't see the prince's heroism until today. ”
"This king also heard about the last year, because it is close to the direction of Lingzhou, there is the king of Jiangxia County to help, so this king has not been able to help much."
"Where, the prince is polite."
Ashina Simo smiled: "Since I am here this time, let's stay for a few more days and have a good taste of the customs of my Dingxiang grassland." After a few days, you can also go hunting near Yinshan. ”
"The prince is gracious, Xie Yi is a guest and does as he pleases, if he can, he would rather live in the grassland." Xie Yi said with a smile: "However, my wife at home is pregnant, and now, I just want to accompany His Royal Highness King Jin on the parade as soon as possible, so that I can return to Chang'an District as soon as possible." ”
Xie Yi used a very euphemistic way to express and convey a meaning, being alone is often fearless, but people with wives and children dare not be careless, and they are often more life-saving.
Leaving his pregnant wife at home and risking to come to Dingxiang, Xie Yi dared to do this naturally with some confidence and some certainty. Where does this fearless self-confidence come from? Where else is there besides Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty?
The more this is the case, the more uneasy Ashina Simo becomes.
"Congratulations to Xie Changshi, even so, I still try to spend a few days in the grassland, and then bring some grassland specialties back to give Mrs. Zun a baby."
Ashina Simo said with a smile: "This king has a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains here, which is the first-class medicine for replenishing the body. ”
"The prince bothered, thank you!" Xie Yi laughed, Ashina Simo is also true, isn't this not a self-confessed fact that he is implicated in the Western Turks?
The Tianshan Snow Lotus in his hand is probably mostly given by the Western Turks. Also, after all, they were a people before, and it is not surprising that they have some connection with each other, but the specific taste of this connection......
Hehe!
Ashina Simo said with a smile: "Okay, it's cold outside, Your Highness and Xie Changshi have come from afar, so let's hurry into the tent, and this king will prepare a little thin wine to wash the dust for His Highness." (To be continued.) )
