Chapter 584: The Western Liang Kingdom of the Angry Bag
"So coincidentally?"
When he went out, in a foreign country, and met people in the Tang court, Li Hongru only felt that it was too coincidental.
"It's not a particularly coincidental coincidence," Tang Jian said with a headache: "I asked Li Taizheng and Yuan Shaojian to do the law, and chose a good day and an auspicious day to set off, and then rushed to this Liangjing City." ”
"Are they now on a special itinerary?"
"I begged grandpa to sue grandma to ask them to help."
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang's level of calculation has at least been greatly improved.
The front foot can calculate the time when he can catch up with the closure of Wuzhuang Temple, and the back foot can deduce the moment when Tang Jian travels safely.
Of course, there are some deviations between the two men in some places.
For example, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, who were far away in Chang'an, didn't understand whether Li Hongru was alive or dead, and how did the Tang Emperor's entrustment be completed?
When Tang Jian traveled to Xiliang Kingdom, he was also asked by the two.
"They think I'm dead?" Li Hongru asked.
"That's not the case, they just want me to find out about the situation when I visit here, but I didn't know that I bumped into you when I entered the city," Tang Jian replied.
The people in the court are all human spirits, looking at Tang Jian's appearance, how could Li Hongru not know the faces of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang at that time.
It seems that these two people are still a little unconfident in their own deduction methods, so they also asked each other when they begged Tang Jian.
Now that Datang and Tuhun are at war, it is normal to bump into some accidents when traveling in a hurry, and there is no place to reason if you die in the middle of the road.
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang calculated a lot, and they were obviously worried that Li Hongru had encountered danger, after all, Li Hongru was really a bit of a master of self-restraint, and it was not easy to calculate at all.
And Li Hongru is involved in the trust of the Tang Emperor, which is a joint speculation between the two.
It's not easy to live when you're away, and the two of you are also uncomfortable in Chang'an.
"The weather is too cold this year, Mrs. Tai can't stand the cold of spring, and the emperor's body is a little unbearable."
The lady mentioned by Tang Jian was the mother of the emperor, and the emperor was the father of the Tang emperor.
Li Hongru has never met Mrs. Tai, but he has seen Emperor Taishang several times.
Since fighting with Emperor Wen of the Great Sui, Emperor Taishang has entered his twilight years.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are the basic laws of living beings, even the long-lived are difficult to escape, not to mention that under the heavy fight, it is normal for the emperor's body to be difficult to support.
But Tang Jian mentioned that he couldn't stay up, and he was only afraid that his health would be worse to a certain extent.
The situation of the Tang royal family is not too good.
But the foreign conquest continued, and the Tang Emperor even seemed a little anxious, looking forward to good news in Chang'an every day.
Tang Jian has many things that are difficult to understand.
The purpose of his trip at this time was also to contribute to the battle between Datang and Tuhun.
"Now that the climate has warmed up, we continue to send envoys to neighboring countries to ask for help and jointly kill the Tuhun country."
The Western Liang Kingdom, the Gaochang Kingdom, the Quicksand Kingdom, and the Western Fan Hami Kingdom all signaled their submission after the fall of the Khanate.
Although many of these countries have also shown their submission to the Tuhun Kingdom, it is now clearly a situation of choosing one or the other.
It's a multiple-choice question, and if you choose it wrong, you're going to be in trouble.
Li Hongru looked at Tang Jian and knew very well the purpose of Tang Jian's coming to Xiliang Kingdom.
If Emperor Tang had the heart to visit Wanshou Mountain, he would definitely take Xiliang Kingdom into his pocket.
Xiliang Kingdom is close to Tuhun Kingdom, and there is still a country left to Datang if it wants to be neighbored, compared to the threat of Tuhun Kingdom, Datang is obviously a grade lower.
In this case, it is normal for Xiliang Kingdom to delay or even refuse to send troops.
But this will also give Datang a reason to attack in the future.
If Xiliang was impulsive and agreed to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to fight, it would obviously be better, and in the future, after the land was neighbored, Xiliang could directly become a vassal state.
Regardless of the success or failure of Tang Jian's trip, Xiliangguo actually has no choice.
The two talked for a few minutes before they saw the sound of courtesy music in the distance, and the nine cars marched in sequence.
This is the etiquette of entertaining VIPs.
Liang Jingcheng learned of Tang Jian's message, and came to greet the person in charge of opening the road, which was not slow, and had extremely heavy etiquette.
Li Hongru immediately stopped his mouth and waved to Tang Jian.
"Why don't you come with me for a meal or drink?" Tang Jian said.
"I just ate a few catties of dead horse meat, and I have no appetite for anything, if you have a lot of horses, why don't you send me two horses to hurry."
Li Hongru rubbed his stomach, thinking of the horse meat he ate, he suddenly had no taste.
He looked at Tang Jian's convoy, in addition to the carriage, there were six people on mounts to escort them.
It's just that these mounts have been on a long journey and look a bit wilted, and need to be adjusted a bit to be effective.
But compared to ordinary horses bought in the private sector, the quality of these horses is obviously much better.
"Send the horse, send the horse, hey, don't be in a hurry to go, get in the car with your brother!"
When Li Hongru turned around, he was pulled up by Tang Jian again.
"Let's all run here to do things, you must click through me!"
There are many people who carry out tasks in the Tuhun Kingdom, but when they come to the territory of the Xiliang Kingdom, Tang Jian knows Li Hongru.
This made him vaguely guess something, and he was keenly aware of the relevance of each other.
The two are not familiar with each other in the imperial court, but they are people who can rely on each other when they go abroad.
Tang Jian had a hot exchange of words, and he hoped that Li Hongru would talk about the relevant things and make his trip smooth.
"You go out to send out to fight, and it is inconvenient to return to Chang'an at this time, so you can only go back to the barracks, and it just so happens that I know the movements of some barracks."
"Then go eat and drink."
Li Hongru finally agreed.
Sharpening knives and cutting wood, instead of buying an ordinary horse and searching around, it is far better for Tang Jian to tell some information.
Tang Jian has a demand for him, and Li Hongru also has some demands for Tang Jian.
It's convenient for each other.
When entering the carriage, Li Hongru also mentioned in obscurity that his task was to go to a secret place in Xiliang Kingdom to deliver gifts.
This made Tang Jian suddenly understand in his heart, and nodded again and again.
"Your Majesty really has a big hand."
Thousands of calculations, after all, the war has the final say.
Only with victory, the Tang Emperor is qualified to talk about something else.
"Then I won't have trouble with this errand!"
Just by knocking on the side, Tang Jian knew the truth of his task.
It's okay to achieve, and it's okay to fail.
For Xiliangguo, it doesn't matter whether to send troops to help Datang, the important thing is to set the rules in advance, so as not to be nameless in the future.
For a while, Tang Jian was extremely relaxed, and the expression on his face relaxed.
He was really afraid that he would need to exert all kinds of skillful abilities to make the impossible possible, and forcibly let Xiliang send troops to help, and that kind of task would be too difficult.
"Tuhun Guo is good at guerrilla warfare, and likes to drag the opponent until he is exhausted, and they have gone around a lot of circles with the army under the command of General Manager Li, and they are still in a state of chasing, but they have only done a small fight!"
Tang Jian also told the current real battle situation.
When the battle situation is unclear, it will be very difficult for the surrounding countries to take sides.
Whoever you choose to help will offend the other party, and if you don't do it all, then you will offend both sides.
And if you want to respond together and choose to help on both sides, it is equivalent to not helping, which is also a big trouble.
Tang Jian and Li Hongru whispered in a low voice, and when they entered the palace area of Liangjing City, the carriage stopped.
Just opened the car curtain, Tang Jian's face suddenly changed.
In the area of the palace, people dressed in yellow dragon robes greet them.
But Tang Jian's eyes were on the side of the man in the dragon robe, an old man in a white robe.
This also made the attitude of the person wearing the dragon robe extremely respectful, and the afterglow swept to the body of the white-robed old man from time to time.
"Tang Honglu Temple Qing Tang Jian has seen the Lord of Xiliang!"
Tang Jian got out of the carriage and saluted the lord of Xiliang.
"Xiao Wang has been waiting for the Tang Dynasty to come for a long time, and he is finally looking forward to the arrival of the distinguished guest."
The lord of Xiliang opened his mouth, and immediately caused the white-robed old man to cough slightly, which made the attitude of the lord of Xiliang restrain a lot, and he just laughed embarrassedly.
The officials of the Tang Dynasty wore red official robes, while the officials of the Tuhun Kingdom preferred white robes.
In front of Tang Jian, Tuhun Guo obviously also came as an envoy, and also communicated with Xiliang Kingdom in advance.
This made Tang Jian snort slightly.
The lord of Xiliang who was in the middle felt that it was too uncomfortable.
The area of the Western Liang Kingdom is not large, and if it is placed in the territory of the Tang Dynasty and the Tuhun Kingdom, the scope of the county is even smaller.
The small land area does not raise a large population.
Even if the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Kingdom are gathered, there are only 20,000 of them.
This makes the extremely weak Xiliang Kingdom want to be honored by the Tang Dynasty, and the same is true for the Tuhun Kingdom, and even the Buddha Kingdom further away in the West.
Tuhun Kingdom and Datang are now obviously asking Xiliang Kingdom to make a statement.
This kind of statement can easily go into big problems.
The big guy fights, and the younger brother suffers.
At this time, the lord of Xiliang only felt that the sky of Xiliang was about to fall.
The only thing he could hope for at this time was the Wuzhuang Temple in the mountains in the distance.
If Tuhun and Datang can stop this war for the sake of Wuzhuang Guan, this is the best ending for Xiliangguo.
