Chapter 890: The Turks Came
"Master Pei, it's been a long time."
Pei Lin scolded and returned to his mansion, but when he was about to enter the door, a few figures came out of the corner, and the person at the head was a sneering look and said to him.
"It's you, why did you come to Chang'an." Pei Lin suddenly sobered up, looking at the middle-aged man in Han costume in front of him, with a beard on his face, under the brocade clothes, it could be seen that his muscles were strong, obviously he was a powerful person, and there were several big men around him, although they were dressed as subordinates, they were all interested roles. These people also have an identity, that is, Turkic people.
"Master Pei, don't you invite us in and sit?" The visitor said with a smile.
"There are friends from afar, and they don't say it. Please. Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for many years, but I didn't expect to meet here, how is Ling Zun? Pei Lian's eyes rolled, and he immediately laughed, and said to him.
Dahan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and arched his hand and said: "My father is fine, but I just miss the years of association with Master Pei, so this time I came to Chang'an to do business, just to let my little brother come to meet Master Pei." It's just that Master Pei's mansion is too high, and the younger brother can only wait outside. ”
"Please." Pei Lin shook his head when he heard this, made a gesture of invitation, invited everyone in, and said as he walked: "When I was the palace eunuch of Jinyang, I needed a white horse, but Ling Zun found it for me, I haven't seen it for more than ten years, and now when I think about it, it seems like yesterday." ”
"My father also remembers Lord Pei's sassy and heroic posture back then, I don't know when Lord Pei will have time to come to the mansion, I believe my father will be very happy." The visitor said with a smile.
"That's nature, that's nature." Pei Lin nodded again and again, welcomed everyone into the hall, served tea, and drove the people out. came to the comer and whispered, "What is the power of the contract." Why are you here, this is Chang'an City, Jinyi and Wei are all over every corner, I can't get it right, and now the content of your conversation has been sent to Li Xin's case. ”
"It seems that Master Pei is a little dissatisfied with Li Xin!" After hearing this, Qi Bi He Li looked at Pei Lin with a smile and said: "Master Pei gave up the Li family, and now he is subordinate to Li Xin, and it should be reused according to reason, but now, it doesn't seem to be like this!" ”
"No more nonsense. You are really bold, you led a few subordinates to Chang'an, if you are sent over, I am afraid that Li Xin will have to reward me. Pei Lin touched his beard and said.
"Master Pei won't." He Li clapped his hands, and saw a few subordinates take out a few pieces of paper from their arms and hand them to Pei Lian, who took it, but it was a deposit certificate.
"Ten thousand gold coins, you really are. What a skill! Pei Lian's complicated eyes looked at the deposit certificate in front of him, a total of ten certificates, which means that he was holding 100,000 gold coins in his hand, and this deposit certificate was pushed out by the bank in Taiyuan. The stamps and paper on it are specially made. It is almost impossible for others to prevent it. Pei Lin trembled in his heart with 100,000 gold coins, which is not a small number, if it falls into his hands, Pei Lin will be considered an unofficial. I'm afraid it doesn't matter. It's just that what the Turks spent so much money on is definitely not trivial.
"The old man doesn't have any officials now, I'm afraid he can't help the general." There was silence for a while, but Pei Lin still put aside the silver ticket in his hand. A slight sigh.
"Don't you want to know what we're up to?" He Li said with a smile: "We are here to negotiate peace with Datang." ”
"Peace? Jieli Khan is ambitious and ready to herd horses in the Central Plains at any time. Li Xin is not a fool. After Pei Lin listened, he said disdainfully: "Li Xin will not agree to negotiate peace, don't look at the joy you are making on the border now, but you can't shake the foundation of Datang, wait until Datang relaxes, but in a year or two, Li Xin's soldiers and horses will appear on the grassland." How could a man like him agree to peace? ”
"The war is naturally going to be fought, but our Han heard that Li Xin is preparing to move troops against Goguryeo? The Great Khan thinks that the struggle between us and the Tang Dynasty can be delayed until after you have destroyed Goguryeo. Qi Qi He Li said proudly: "In this way, you will have enough time and energy to prepare, and Master Pei can also make a contribution because of this, isn't it a good thing?" ”
"What are your conditions?" Pei Lian's eyes lit up, and he soon knew that the Turks must have abandoned their allies for other purposes, so he immediately reacted and asked.
"Ashina Simo. Back then, he was captured by Li Xin by covering me, and the Great Khan asked me to negotiate with Li Xin, we have to go back to Ashina Simo and let Li Xin attack Goguryeo, within three years, our Turks will not provoke a border war without authorization, how? Three years is enough time for you to deal with a small country like Goguryeo. Qi Qi He Li said proudly.
In the opinion of Qibi Holi, this is a very good deal. Li Xinhui spent three years to settle Goguryeo before he had the mind to deal with the Turks, and the Turks also got their own generals, which was beneficial to both sides. He believed that Li Xin would definitely agree.
After Pei Lin heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely agree to such a good thing, but for such a thing, why doesn't the general directly find His Majesty the Emperor, and in turn, send credit to me?" ”
"My Turkic envoys are divided into one dark and one bright, we are secretly here, first ask Master Pei for help, once our envoy comes, after explaining this matter to Li Xin, Lord Pei will give us good words." Qi Bi He Li said unhurriedly.
Hearing this, Pei Lian's eyes shrank, and a trace of vigilance suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes, subconsciously, he thought that Qi Bi He Li came to the Central Plains, it would definitely not be so simple, sending envoys, and dividing light and dark, if there was no conspiracy here, Pei Lin would have lived in vain for decades.
"Master Pei doesn't believe it?" After hearing this, Qi Bi He Li sighed, and finally said: "The Great Khan is ready to make a move on the Second Khan, so he doesn't want to move the Tang Dynasty, he decided to solve the internal affairs and then compete with the Tang Dynasty for the world." ”
After Pei Lin listened, he nodded, if this is the case, there is a slight possibility of Qi Bi He Li's suggestion, Li Xin does not have the opportunity and strength to do it against the Turks now, and it is said that it is in the past to sue for peace at this time, but will Li Xin agree? Pei Lin thought for a while and said, "I will naturally run for you in this matter, and I will also write to Your Majesty." But whether it will work out or not is not something I can guarantee. ”
"That's nature, that's nature." He Li nodded again and again after hearing this, and suddenly said again: "I heard that Ashnasimo and the captured Turkic army are building roads, I don't know what is going on now?" ”
Pei Lin sneered after hearing this, and said: "It is said that Li Xin is benevolent and righteous, tsk, over the years, there have been more than 100,000 captives under the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry, and now a road from Chang'an to Hanzhong is being built, and only tens of thousands of people are left in the hundreds of thousands, and you Turks have suffered the most casualties, and they have been brutal since ancient times." However, don't worry, Ashnasimo is not dead, hum, if you don't redeem it, there is not much way to die. ”
"Thank you, Master Pei, for telling me. The last general took his leave. Qi Bi He Li suppressed the anger in his heart, arched his hand towards Pei Lin and said. (To be continued.) )
