Chapter 494: Special Mission
"The people see His Royal Highness the East King." When Princess Li saw Han Jian, she greeted him with a fluent Central Plains accent.
Han Jian also felt a little different, after all, in terms of appearance, this Princess Li was still quite different from the Central Plains woman, but from the accent, he couldn't tell how she was different from the Central Plains woman. It should be living in Middle-earth all the year round, after all, although the old country of Xiliang is based on the Central Plains, after all, it has its own language and writing.
Han Jian looked at the woman in black who was saluting in front of him, and said, "This must be the princess of the old country of Xiliang." Fortunately. ”
"Don't dare to be." The woman saluted and said, "Li Yun, a folk girl, has seen His Royal Highness the East King." ”
Han Jian silently read the name "Li Yun" and asked, "This is your original name?" ”
"Exactly." Li Yundao, "The old people of Xiliang all have the names of Middle Earth, and the names of the people and the people of Xiliang are no different. ”
"Oh." Han Jian nodded in understanding.
He didn't care about what this Li Yun was called, since it was Mrs. Luo who came to meet, even if it was a kind of contact, maybe this Li Yun wanted to use Mrs. Luo to complete the restoration of the Li family, and Mrs. Luo wanted to use Li Yun's identity in order to recruit more Xiliang people. Whether the two hit it off and became a traitor, or whether they knew each other from the beginning, Han Jian did not know.
"Miss Li, sit down." Han Jian pointed to the chair next to him.
"In front of His Highness, how can the people sit on the ground? Aunt Luo, the folk girl has some things to say to His Royal Highness somehow, so it is better to let Aunt Luo convey them on her behalf. Li Yun suddenly looked at Mrs. Luo on the side and said.
Han Jian pondered the title of "Aunt Luo" for a while, and said in his heart that it was the same as the big and small Xiliu. This Li Yun temporarily sent someone under the fence and recognized his relatives?
"Hmm." Mrs. Luo nodded lightly, looked at Han Jian and said, "Young son, that's the case, I want to take refuge in His Royal Highness and become a vassal of His Highness, and I only ask His Highness to take him in." ”
"Oh? How to attach? Han Jian pretended to be surprised, but this was not beyond his expectations, since this Li Yun came. There are probably two ways to get in touch with the East Palace. One is to form an alliance, and the other is to attach. And Mrs. Luo is attached, no matter how big Li Yun is, she is just a princess of a dead country. Use her to form an alliance with Han Jian. Han Jian will definitely not accept it.
Mrs. Lowe wants to say. But he felt inconvenient, so he said to Li Yun: "It's better for the princess to say it herself." ”
Han Jian saw that the two of them in front of him were pushing around, as if he couldn't say anything. I also feel weird in my heart. It stands to reason that Mrs. Luo wants to use Li Yun's identity, and then guess it, is there any huge power behind this Li Yun?
Li Yun responded, took two steps forward, and said: "The people's girls have arranged a lot of manpower in the pass, and when His Highness sends troops to the gates, he can help His Highness to become a big thing in one fell swoop, and the people's daughters ...... There are also the manpower of the people's daughters, who are willing to be dispatched by His Highness, driven by His Highness, and will not give up their death. ”
The conditions are quite tempting. Han Jian thought about it, although there are many people under Mrs. Luo, they are all in business, and the strongest group of people under Mrs. Luo are all people from the East Branch of the Old Department of Xiliang, and they are themselves under the command of Mrs. Luo, but they are not loyal to Mrs. Luo, and Mrs. Luo is not the master of these people.
And the situation of Li Yun in front of him is different, Li Yun's people are like dead soldiers, they are generally at her disposal, and Li Yun has a task since he gave birth to his mother, that is, to restore the country, plus he has the background of the royal family and nobles, it is easy to recruit people, and with the financial support of Mrs. Luo, it is not difficult to raise a group of people.
"How many?" Han Jian didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.
Li Yun thought for a moment and saluted, "Nine hundred." ”
"Nine hundred people say that it is not much, and it is not too much to say less, but only nine hundred people, why does Miss Li think that this king will accept your subordination?"
Li Yun didn't speak, and the meaning of Han Jian's words was obviously that some of the nine hundred people who looked down on her.
However, as we all know, Xiliang Country itself is only a small country, nine hundred people can be said to be a very large force, when the entire Xiliang Kingdom was strong, the whole army was only twenty or thirty thousand horses, and now all the eastern and western branches of the old Xiliang Department combined, there may not be four or five thousand people.
Mrs. Luo wanted to say something, but Han Jian stretched out his hand to stop her.
Han Jian asked, "I wonder what Miss Li's conditions are in exchange for?" After Xiliang returned to China, Miss Li was ready to be the lord of a country? ”
"The women don't dare." Li Yundao, "Xiliang is now annexed by the Great Wei, and it is no longer a country, if His Royal Highness can level the old land of Xiliang in the future, the people's daughters only ask His Highness to reward this place to the people's daughters, and the people's daughters should do their best to govern one side for His Highness." Never disappoint His Highness. ”
Han Jian smiled again, this Li Yun said as if he had already agreed.
Han Jian said: "Miss Li seems to have forgotten one thing, you are just a princess of the dead country, even if there are people under your command, in front of so many soldiers in the Central Plains, it is not worth mentioning, why should this king bother himself, wouldn't it be better to send generals to garrison in the future?" ”
Li Yun said unhurriedly: "But in the future, does Your Highness want the old people of Liangguo other than the people to continue to run for the restoration of the country as they do today, and create some trouble for Your Highness?" ”
Han Jian's expression was cold, squinting at Li Yun, this woman, with a sense of firmness between calmness, this should be a kind of fearless tenacity that has been immersed in intrigue for a long time, and always thinking about recovering the country.
Seeing that Han Jian was silent, Li Yun said: "Your Highness should know very well that the old people of our Liang Kingdom are the most loyal to the Lord, and since the people are sincere to vote, they will be driven by Your Highness in the future, and they dare not slack off." The people's daughters only want to be driven by His Highness's side, and they don't dare to ask for the restoration of the country in the future, His Highness doesn't need to worry that the people's daughters will have different hearts, if there is really that day, don't say that it is His Highness, it is Aunt Luo, and she will not let go of the people's daughter......"
Han Jian nodded slightly, looked at Mrs. Luo and said, "Madam, what do you think?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare to talk about it, but the concubine can guarantee that the princess is sincere. Moreover, the princess's people and horses do not belong to the old department of Xiliang, they are separate people, so His Royal Highness does not have to worry about these people being two-faced......"
Han Jian said: "That is Miss Li's own faction?" ”
"The people's daughter is not prepared to be a faction of her own, and when she returns to His Royal Highness in the future, she is a person from the East Palace, and His Royal Highness has the right to dispose of life and death, and he does not dare to slack off."
Han Jian nodded again and said, "I heard that the dead soldiers of your Xiliang Kingdom are very brave and very strong, but I didn't have a chance to see them." ”
"If Your Highness is interested, the people are willing to bring some dead soldiers to drive your Highness......"
Han Jian smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Li, now this king has sent you a task, if your people can help this king complete it, then this king will accept the matter of annexation." And if the old land of Xiliang is restored in the future, the king will go to the court and crown Miss Li as the king of Xiliang, and the old land of Xiliang will be owned by Miss Li, and it will be hereditary. ”
Li Yun's face suddenly became a little nervous, and the condition that Han Jian offered was obviously very much in line with her wishes. Although she has manpower now, she is still 108,000 miles away from the restoration of the country, and the soldiers and horses of the Western Wangjun in Guanzhong alone are counted in tens of thousands, and Xiliang has not achieved anything for so many years in wanting to restore the country, mainly because the difference in power is too great, and there is no chance. But with the consent of the king of the east, the situation is different. The number of soldiers and horses in the East Wangfu was originally under the West Palace, but after these battles, coupled with the strong support of the South Palace, it is not difficult for the East Palace, to use the banner of the imperial court to pacify the north and pacify the old land of Xiliang.
"The women of the people are willing to be driven by His Highness." Li Yun said.
"Miss Li will listen to the king's task first, and then it's not too late to make this statement." Han Jian said, "What this king asked you to do is to kill a person for this king, not only to kill him, but also to take a person back alive, I wonder if Miss Li is willing to accept it?" ”
Li Yun's face changed slightly, she already felt that the task arranged by Han Jian was not simple, if Han Jian asked her to kill the King of the West or the King of the North, it would be a matter of no reason at all. In the past, Mrs. Luo had also planned to assassinate the King of the West, but the final result was only a bamboo basket to draw water.
"Who is Your Highness going to kill? Who to tie up? Li Yun raised his head slightly, looked at Han Jian and asked.
"This person, speaking of Miss Li, there should be no intersection, and she is also the county king of the imperial court, but unfortunately she has lost power, and now she has gone to Beichuan with the puppet emperor. Mrs. Love should know about this person, right? Han Jian said, looking at Mrs. Luo again.
Mrs. Luo said: "What the young prince said, but the king of Yanning County? ”
"It's this old horseman." Han Jian said, "This king of Yanning County was originally a loyal minister of His Majesty, but it is a pity that when the rebel usurped the throne, he not only took refuge in the rebel, but also secretly communicated with the Northern Prince's Mansion. You say that such a person is what this king can tolerate him, and His Majesty can tolerate him? And this king is not suitable to send someone to kill such a person, so he asked Miss Li to do it for him. ”
"The person Your Highness wants to kill is the person the people the people want to kill, and the people should do it with all their hearts."
Li Yun said on his lips, but he also felt that things were difficult to do, even if the king of Yanning County lost power, he used to be the county king of the imperial court, and she now has a lot of people, but most of them are in Guanzhong, and they will be transferred to Beichuan, the mountains and rivers are far away, and there will be no results in a few months.
But thinking about it again, compared to the fact that Xiliang has not achieved results for more than 20 years, what is the wait of these months? What's more, the timeline of Xiliang's restoration is not calculated from her killing the king of Yanning County, but to see when the East Wangfu will pacify Guanzhong. If it was true that the Dongwang Mansion had pacified Guanzhong before she sent someone to assassinate the King of Yanning County, she would not have the face to beg the Dongwang to take her in these people from the old country of Xiliang.
"Listen to the king first." Han Jian said, "In addition to letting you kill the king of Yanning County, this king also wants you to kidnap someone back, who is the granddaughter of the king of Yanning County." This man is very important to this king, he wants to live, not to die, do you understand? ”
"Yes." Li Yun responded, and wondered in his heart, the granddaughter of the king of Yanning County? Could it be that the king of the east fell in love with other people's girls, and the king of Yanning County disagreed, so he had this murderous intention?
But in any case, it wasn't for her to ask. Now she had to wait until she went back to ask Mrs. Love. (To be continued......)
