Horse!

Li Yuanxing knew that King Gaochang was referring to the horse of the Turkic Jieli Khan, and said that it was an injury to his leg, which was just an excuse. An excuse that Li Yuanxing and Li Er didn't plan to give this horse away. If the reward for this horse will not be the generals of the Tang Dynasty, but will definitely be the Turkic tribes, such trophies must be left.

And things like pearl necklaces, like the one worn by Cui Yingying, there are only two strings in the entire Tang Dynasty.

A string is in the Qin Palace, but it is not anyone's personal belongings. It belongs to the backyard inner library, and it is something used to show off. The other string is in the palace treasury, which still does not belong to the individual. It's all the same, you can wear it, but you can't have it.

Li Yuanxing squinted his eyes, seemingly looking at King Gaochang, but in fact he was thinking about the records he had seen about King Gaochang.

Suddenly, Li Yuanxing laughed.

"Okay, I'll give you the horse. There are only two strings of pearls like that in the world, and the other string is already in the inner treasury of my imperial brother. That's it! Li Yuanxing sighed softly: "Come on, go and get the string of this king." ”

King Gao Jing immediately got off the donkey down the slope: "Your Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Wang is here is the new tax treaty letter and a box of seven-colored gems." ”

Li Yuanxing laughed a few times with him, and motioned to the guards beside him to take the gift and the national letter.

"Your Royal Highness the King of Qin, Xiao Wang will leave tomorrow morning and immediately go back to arrange the tax change." King Gaochang was in a hurry to leave again.

Li Yuanxing got up: "King Gaochang has come to my Tang Dynasty from afar, and this king has not fulfilled the landlord's suitability." I was very uneasy, since I had something important. This king will give you the right to trade thousands of cloud brocade and 10,000 catties of snow salt in Gaochang every year. ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty!" Gaochang Wang said happily.

To Li Yuanxing's surprise, Murong Shun of Tuyuhun was also ready to leave, on the grounds that he had been here for ten days, and many government affairs were backlogged and had to go back to deal with them.

Li Yuanxing did not keep it anymore, but sent Wei Ting to send it out politely.

"King Igo, stay a few more days. This king has something important to tell you! Li Yuanxing didn't speak in a very kind tone to Yiwu, and King Yiwu was stunned for a moment and then got up and saluted: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin commands!" ”

"You have a good recall, what has happened between Gao Chang and you Yiwu in the past year, and what actions Gao Chang has. The king has sent an important person to talk to you in depth. This is very important. King Igo has worked hard. Li Yuanxing said. It's still said with a straight face.

When King Yiwu heard this, he was full of joy, thinking that Li Yuanxing was going to stand up for him.

After King Yiwu went out, Li Yuanxing said to Lu Maofeng beside him: "Tomorrow." After the guest leaves. Prepare for a meeting. Arrange for someone to go and have a good talk with King Igo today. The king's heart was very uneasy. Don't talk too much, don't say a word today, and don't spy on those guests! ”

Lu Maofeng gave a military salute very solemnly and retreated.

Li Yuanxing's face was very bad. This made everyone a little afraid to approach, even Qiu Xiang couldn't help but take a few steps back freely.

No matter how kind, how benevolent.

can't stop the most bloody title of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and King Qin of the Tang Dynasty represents more than just power. The first King of Qin to be known to the world was the king of the Great Qin Empire, who conquered the world with iron and blood. The second known to the world, he also used iron blood to defeat the Tang Dynasty, and let this iron blood engulf his brother.

The third place, the first battle of his debut, made the relationship between Datang and the Turks turn around.

Li Yuanxing's face was not good, and no one wanted to touch this mold.

"This king goes to the study, I want to stay alone for a while, don't disturb this king if I have nothing important." Li Yuanxing's tone made everyone even more nervous.

After Li Yuanxing sat in the independent small tent, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Your Highness is not happy!" Lu Maofeng asked after he came back.

Qiu Xiang stood in front of the small tent door of Li Yuanxing's study with a straight face: "Do you still need to ask about this?" ”

Lu Maofeng didn't dare to ask again, and ordered the two guards in charge of guarding to keep it, and he went to the packing place to take a look, the bones of the giant beast are also a big deal at the moment.

Li Yuanxing was unhappy, and only a dozen or so guards knew about this matter.

Even the two princesses of Qin were not told.

It was only said that His Royal Highness King Qin had some official business to deal with, so he didn't accompany the two princesses that night.

The next day, when Wei Ting sent the two guests away on behalf of Li Yuanxing, Lu Maofeng was already gathering the generals.

Those who came to the conference tent naturally included Li Xiaogong, Zhang Gongjin, and Yan Shigu. Then there is Li Yuanxing's side, several generals such as Zhili Sili and Su Dingfang. Xue Wanche of Yulin.

This Xue Wanche is a character, he and his younger brother were from the Prince's Mansion and the Qin Palace.

He was a general of the Prince's Mansion, and during the Xuanwumen Change, he fought to the death for the Prince. Later, he was dressed up by Wei Chigong and fled into the Qinling Mountains, and Li Shimin personally invited him out, thinking that since he was a member of the prince's mansion, it was loyalty and duty to fight to the death for the prince, not a fault.

Although Xue Wanche was a little stupid, he was brave, and Wei Chigong felt a headache when he fought alone.

"I heard that the barbarian actually robbed the things of the Qin Palace." As soon as Xue Wanche came in, he spoke directly without waiting for anyone to salute. "As long as His Highness orders it, those goods can't go ten miles away, and they will be dismantled into bones and brought back!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin should have borrowed treasures when he was fighting the false Dao back then. Stabilize Gaochang, in a few years, then Gaochang will be extinguished, BMW will still be BMW, and pearls will still be pearls. You can get it back, too. Zhang Gongjin opened his mouth and said to Xue Wanche: "General Xue is at ease, if you dare to be humble in front of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, you will definitely be punished very severely, and Gaochang will not be able to do so for three years." ”

The generals said one after another: "General Zhang is smart. ”

Li Yuanxing entered the account at this time, and everyone stood according to their identities after giving the salute.

"What this king wants to know most is when the spring market with Tuyuhun will open next year. Send someone back to Chang'an quickly, and ask General Qin to send someone to investigate! ”

"Your Highness, why did you suddenly check this time?" Su Dingfang asked.

Li Yuanxing sat down and motioned for everyone to sit down: "I checked the information last night. King Gao Chang is not a villain who is greedy for money, nor is he the kind of person who is greedy for small profits and goods. Moreover, King Gaochang has read a lot of our books, and it can be said that his knowledge is no less than that of a learned scholar in the Tang Dynasty! ”

"What does Your Highness mean, is he using a trick?" Su Dingfang asked.

Li Yuanxing nodded: "This king has checked the terrain, and Ganzhou is the only way for my Tang Dynasty to go to Yiwu." If you don't go to Ganzhou, you can borrow a road from Tuyuhun and go around 500 miles. It is estimated that Tuyuhun will not borrow. Or go north into the desert, the army walks the desert, not to mention how dangerous it is, there is no way to guarantee logistics alone, this circle is hundreds of miles of desert. ”

"Your Highness thinks that Tuyuhun wants to do something to Yiwu!" Li Xiaogong asked.

Li Yuanxing signaled to the guards to be on guard, and then used a small handheld projector in the conference room to show the map map of Gaochang, Yiwu, and the terrain in the northwest of Datang.

"As long as Tuyuhun is in Ganzhou, there will only be thousands of soldiers and horses to stop my Tang army for half a month, and Yiwu will disappear."

"Your Highness, the Spring Market is already around the tenth day of the fourth month. The snow and ice began to melt in March, and even if the caravan set off in mid-March, the market would open barely on the 10th day of April, and the real spring market would be in mid-April. Li Xiaogong obviously studied the climate and topography of the area.

Li Yuanxing smiled:

"King Gaochang is scheming, pretending to be a fool who is greedy for money, thinking that this king wants to calculate him. It was intended to delay him for a few years, but the king waited for a few years, but he started early, so calculating, calculating. Could it be that the hostility shown by this king towards Gao Chang is too great, or is it ......"

"Or maybe the Gochang people have a covenant with the Goguryeo people!" Su Dingfang whispered on the side.

"Shameless, shameless!" Yan Shigu scolded angrily.

Li Yuanxing laughed even louder:

"Even if Yan Gong pointed at King Gaochang's face and scolded, it didn't work. Politics itself is shameless. They chose the time too well, and the king's army went on an expedition to Goguryeo, so naturally they couldn't take care of him Gaochang. He allied with Tuyuhun and destroyed Yiwu in ten days! ”

"Your Highness, five days at most. It's three days soon, and Igo is a waste who is greedy for money and afraid of death! Li Xiaogong also said.

Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "King Rong Ben think about it, King Rong Ben think about it!" ”

"Your Highness, Igo can't be lost. There are many checkpoints in Yiwu, but they are built to face my Tang Dynasty, and it is very easy to attack from west to east. But it is extremely difficult for us in Datang to go from east to west. And Gaochang is too far away, and the transportation of military rations along the road is two out of ten! Li Xiaogong hurriedly told Li Yuanxing the importance of Yiwu.

A hundred quintals of grain were transported to Igo only twenty quintals.

With Igo here, it can solve a large part of the food problem by itself.

But without Yiwu, purely transporting grain from Chang'an, even now in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how much food there is, it can't support it. This cost is too great.

"Your Highness, the cotton fields of Tianshan Mountain are not guaranteed, and we Datang can't afford this loss." Wei Ting also said.

Li Yuanxing smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"In April next year, if Goguryeo breaks the contract. This king's army is in Gaochang, and if there is no lesson to Goguryeo, my Tang Dynasty is really embarrassed. From another point of view, the king's army went to Goguryeo, but Goguryeo responded to the appointment, and Gaochang suddenly moved, and the king couldn't save it, so the army moved to Gochang, and the food consumption was too huge. And it may not be possible to defeat Gao Chang quickly. Another joke! ”

"What if Goguryeo turns his face when His Highness leaves?"

"This king has already calculated, and he will not care about it when the time comes. It's not that the military is insufficient, it's that the logistics are insufficient. There is certainly no way to guarantee the supply of military rations on both sides. ”

Listening to Li Yuanxing say this, if all this is true, then Goguryeo and Gaochang people have really done a big thing this time.

But the crowd didn't understand.

How could His Royal Highness the King of Qin see through this plan, if His Royal Highness the King of Qin didn't say it, then no one would think about all of this together, one ring after another. (To be continued......)

PS: It's a little late today, because there are guests at home, and there is no way to calm down.

This will be pretending to be sleepy, go back to the house to take a nap, and hurry up for a section.

In the evening, when the guests left, they worked hard to write, saying that there would be more and more.
