"It's coming, it's coming. Gee! A dignified scholar of the Martial Arts Hall was a donkey when he went, and he was still a donkey when he returned. Half an hour later, two figures came slowly in the distance, a middle-aged man on a donkey, and the other on foot. It was the newly appointed scholar of Wude Temple, Xiao Yu.

"Uncle." Li Xin hugged Princess Nanyang and greeted her, and said with a smile on his face.

"Li Xin?" Xiao Yu saw Li Xin's face with a sneering look, and said disdainfully: "I didn't expect King Tang to come to greet me." ”

"Uncle." Princess Yuerong didn't care, stepped forward and pulled Xiao Yu down from the little donkey, and said, "Uncle, Yuerong is here to greet you, why don't you even smile." ”

"Moonlight." Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly, jumped down from the little donkey, and arched his hand and said, "The minister has seen Princess Nanyang." ”

"Uncle." Princess Nanyang smiled and stepped forward and said, "San Lang knew that my uncle was coming back, so I came with me to greet you, but I didn't expect you to be so faceless." ”

"King Tang." Xiao Yu's face twitched, and then he lazily arched his hand towards Li Xin.

"Uncle, this is not above the court, let's call me San Lang!" Li Xin said with a smile. It's already very good to be able to let Xiao Yu speak, he is very glad to bring Princess Nanyang this time, otherwise, this Xiao Yu may even give me a good face!

"Li Xin, you succeeded." Xiao Yu pointed at Li Xin and said: "Although you are ambitious, but in the end, you are a generation of heroes, corporal Lixian, and you can endure humiliation that ordinary people can't bear, although you are not from a family, but what you are doing now is no longer something that ordinary families can do, Great Sui Dynasty, hey!" ”

"Uncle." Princess Nanyang and Princess Yuerong were stunned when they heard this, and then their faces changed color, and they looked at Li Xin a little nervously.

"Lord Xiao laughed." Li Xin's face was calm, although Xiao Yu was upright. But he is also a smart person, and he may not have been able to see the general trend of the world clearly before, but now he can see it clearly.

"King Tang, it's okay for me to help you, but you must promise me three things." Xiao Yu didn't think about it and said: "The first thing, the Sui Yang bloodline cannot be extinguished, and the Son of Heaven Yining can give up the throne in the future, but there must be no life safety, and second, treat the people of the world well; Third. You with Nanyang. Hmph, there is also Yuerong, if the two have a boy, one of them must be canonized as the prince. ”

After Princess Nanyang and Princess Yuerong heard this, one looked happy, but the other was flushed and shy, and looked at Li Xin secretly. Li Xin's face was stunned after hearing this, but he quickly shook his head and said, "I can promise you the first and second articles." But the third I can't make the decision, how can I decide the prince of a country, he can really inherit the world in the future, I will naturally let him inherit the world. If he didn't have that qualification, even if he really helped him become the emperor, would he be the second martial emperor? ”

Princess Nanyang's face darkened after hearing this, but she quickly returned to normal. Xiao Yu's face was stunned. In the end, he laughed, pointed at Li Xin and said, "You are very good, no wonder you can have today's achievements." Li Xin. Say, if you recruit me back, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being a martial arts scholar! ”

"Uncle laughed." Li Xin's face was embarrassed, and he said with a smile: "Uncle, let's go to the city first!" ”

"No, you make it clear first, otherwise I won't be stable when I enter the city." Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "You say, what are you doing by recruiting me from Xihe?" ”

"Uncle, I want to capture Bashu, Li Jing can be the general, but the political affairs of Bashu need someone to preside, uncle, can you help me?" Li Xin said with a smile.

"Capture Bashu? Not bad. Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Bashu is a granary, when Qin was able to seize the world, it was to seize the granary of Bashu, with Bashu, there is enough strength to fight for the world, and King Tang did a good job." ”

Li Xin was not angry, and helped Princess Nanyang and Princess Yuerong into the carriage, and then the army escorted Li Xin and Xiao Yu towards Chang'an City. Xiao Yu's arrival made the Wenchen generals in Chang'an City feel the changes in the court situation, and when they saw Li Xin personally greeting Xiao Yu and chatting with Xiao Yu all the way, they felt that things had changed. Xiao Yu, an old stubborn, may have thrown himself into Li Xin's arms.

Li Xin knew why Xiao Yu would take refuge in himself, of course, he felt that the Sui Dynasty was hopeless, and more importantly, the appearance of Nanyang and Princess Yuerong, and by the time Li Xin told him that he had sent someone to rescue Empress Xiao, he had already felt the change in Xiao Yu's attitude towards himself, and the two talked about their views on the land of Bashu on the road. I have to admit that Xiao Yu, a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time, is at the top of the imperial court, and in the place of the West River, so that Xiao Yu has enough experience in handling political affairs.

"His Royal Highness the King of Tang, the conquest of Bashu is not only about grain and grass, but more importantly, it is more important to deal with the relationship between the various ethnic groups in Bashu. Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Uncle, please speak." Li Xin nodded and said unconcernedly, what he only needs is the result, not the process.

"Chang'an is the imperial capital of the imperial court, the prosperous place of a country, although Bashu is the granary of the empire, but in the prosperous Cheng dù, can not be compared with Chang'an, subordinates think that those strong and barbarian leaders in Bashu have respect for Chang'an, if the imperial court can their heirs come to Chang'an to study, I believe that these barbarians will recognize the imperial court more." Xiao Yu explained.

"So it is very good, let them come. As long as they are successful in their studies, I will not only let them become officers, but also let them join our army and join military schools. Li Xin nodded. He understood the meaning of Xiao Yu's words, that is, he wanted to send the heirs of those barbarians to Chang'an as protons, Li Xin not only wanted to treat these people as protons, but also to influence these protons through these measures, so that these people could feel the strength of the empire, and when they grew up, they would be more attached to the empire, so that they could subtly change the entire Bashu, and after more than ten years, Bashu would still be united under the banner of the empire.

"There is another person, the prince should also be careful." Xiao Yu hesitated for a while and looked at Li Xin.

"What did Lord Xiao say?" Li Xin said with a smile. Xiao Mo is the queen of the royal family of the previous dynasty, the same as Xiao Yu, but Xiao Mo is a side branch, which is not as noble as Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Milling this person is fierce and cunning, ambitious, but the respect of a county, now the king is the hegemon, the entire Jingzhou is under his control, according to the speculation of his subordinates, the next Xiao Mill is probably to target Bashu, only by capturing Bashu, can the world be divided into three parts, if His Royal Highness wants to enter Bashu, he must defeat Xiao Mill, his subordinates think that at this time, Xiao Mill's tentacles have penetrated into Bashu. Those barbarians in Bashu have already colluded with each other. Xiao Yu said with a solemn face.

"What does Lord Xiao need me to do?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"Occupy Nanyang and suppress Xiangyang, at least Xiao Mo doesn't dare to put too much power on Bashu's side." Xiao Yu said.

"This place in Nanyang is a three-regardless zone, located in the middle of Wang Shichong, Li Mi and Xiao Mi. If we occupy Nanyang, Xiao Mian will ignore him for the time being, but Wang Shichong and Li Mi will put their focus on our side. Now our enemy is Li Yuan, and once we put all our forces in Nanyang, Li Yuan is afraid that he will take the opportunity to attack. Li Xin hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Uncle also knows the current situation in Guanzhong, I don't dare to leave Guanzhong lightly now, if I leave, those big families will immediately make waves." ”

"Otherwise, how can the prime minister know who is supporting the prime minister and who is not supporting the prime minister? There may be people in the Guan Long family who will oppose the prime minister, but some people will definitely support the prime minister, Li Yuan's soldiers retreated to Hedong, and among the Guan Long family, there are people who have given up Li Yuan, these people are waiting and seeing, waiting to see if the prime minister can bring them benefits and benefits. There are only thousand-year-old families, and there are no thousand-year-old dynasties. The family is standing, but the interests are the only ones. As long as the prime minister tempts them with sea interests, he can tie these people to us. Xiao Yu said in a low voice. His eyes inadvertently fell on the carriage behind him, but he was full of gratitude in his heart, Sui Yang is no good, Yang Guang is dead, although Yining Tianzi is also the Son of Heaven, but Li Xin will never let Yining Tianzi sit firmly on the country, Sui Yang's hope can only fall on the two princesses, as long as there are boys left, Xiao Yu decided to assist one of them and ascend to the throne.

Li Xin was silent, he had to think about the risks brought about by this situation, after he left, the Guanlong family would definitely make trouble, don't look at the rent reduction and interest rate hike now, it is very good, but these guys are not fuel-efficient lamps, only if they press hard, these guys will be honest, once they leave, these guys will definitely destroy the current pattern of Guanzhong. Is this risk worth taking? Li Xin wants to think about it seriously.

Xiao Yu didn't bother Li Xin, he knew that it was difficult for Li Xin to make a decision on this matter, after all, the relationship was heavy, once he was not careful, Li Xin's current advantage would be lost, the best thing was to stay in the current place honestly, watching Li Yuan rise, the worst thing was to lose Guanzhong and be driven to the northwest. Either way, it is not good for Li Xin, the nascent regime, because the world is vying for hegemony, and one wrong step, one wrong step. If you lose the opportunity, you will lose a lot of opportunities in the future.

Li Xin sent Xiao Yu back to his mansion, until Xiao Yu's son Xiao Rui came to greet him, and asked Duan Qi to escort the two princesses back to the palace, but he went to Li Jing's mansion, among the many generals, only Li Jing is a monarch, a friend, or a teacher, Li Xin himself can't tell the difference, but he knows that as long as he has an order, Li Jing will definitely carry it out meticulously.
