Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 131 Another Ashina
Ashina Muyun didn't believe what he wanted, saying that the murder of King Wu must be an excuse made by the Tang people, so he turned his head and ignored him.
Chengxin was also thinking about what was going on in this matter, and only after a while did he ask again: "Why don't you attack directly from Yizhou, but you have to go over the mountains and mountains to capture Jingzhou City!" ”
Ashina Muyun raised his head to look at Xiangxin when he heard this, and instead of answering his words directly, he asked rhetorically, "Then why are you here!" Look at your appearance, you are not the defenders of Jingzhou City! ”
Xiangxin didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "We went to Yizhou City, and found that your people have withdrawn, and after studying the map, we found that you either withdrew your troops, or turned your head to attack Jingzhou, the geographical location of Jingzhou is very important, if you let you capture Jingzhou City, the main roads on this side are connected to Gaochang Kingdom, you can attack our city at will in the future, and even if we want to counterattack, it is still very big, so we decided to come and see, if you don't come, it should be a rainy day, but you come!" ”
Ashina Muyun nodded, looked at Chengxin with admiration and said: "Since you know everything, why bother to ask more, what we think is similar to what you said, if it weren't for the old stubbornness of Gao Changguo who had to drag us and not let us in, do you think we could only get to Jingzhou now?" ”
sighed slightly: "Have you seen it, Gaochang Kingdom is a vassal country of my Datang, you provoke a war like this, our Datang and Gaochang Kingdom and the nearby vassal countries will not let you go easily, I really don't understand why you want to provoke a war!" ”
Ashina Muyun didn't bother to explain, but he still spat and said, "Really? So why do you think we came over the mountain? Even if we capture Jingzhou City, can we hold it? I can tell you that our army is on its way, and they are coming on horseback, much faster than we have crossed the mountains, so wait for you, you will all die!" ”
Xiangxin knew that what he said was true, the Turks would not send more than 10,000 people to die, there must be a large army on the road behind, this did not need him to say that Xiangxin had already expected it, but Xiangxin still said patiently: "Tell me, we provoked such a big war because of a misunderstanding, and now you have killed more than 10,000 people, and you have also robbed a lot of grain on the border of our Datang, and the two countries are completely immortal this time, who is good for us to do this?" ”
Ashina Muyun didn't care, moved his neck, made a clicking sound, and said directly to his heart: "I said, our Turkic war is for the six princes, what you do will not be written in the history books, nailed to the pillar of shame, it was you who killed the prince who came to communicate regardless of faith, and it was you who maliciously provoked the war!" ”
Chengxin had never seen this sixth prince, and there was no way to tell whether Ashina Muyun's words were true or false, so he sighed and said: "Let me tell you what I know, I promise that I am not lying, as for what is hidden in it, we don't know, you can tell for yourself." ”
Saying that, Cheng Chumo also knew what it meant to be satisfied, and immediately asked everyone to disperse around, and watched everyone turn around and leave, before he spoke.
Chengxin looked at Ashina Muyun's eyes and said: "I am a civil official under the command of Prince Li Chengqian, so I help him deal with some things on weekdays, a few years ago, His Royal Highness King Wu and the prince quarreled and the two had a dispute, His Royal Highness the Prince accidentally pushed His Royal Highness King Wu down the steps, resulting in King Wu's leg fracture, so what you said about His Royal Highness King Wu going down to your Turkic cooperation, it is basically impossible to happen, and His Royal Highness King Wu has been recuperating quietly for a long time. Until a few days ago, on the day of the Spring Festival of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Wu was killed at home, King Wu's bedroom was burned to ashes, and His Royal Highness King Wu himself was burned to black charcoal, so from beginning to end, the six princes you mentioned, we have not seen it in Chang'an City! ”
Ashina Muyun looked incredulous, his eyes widened and he looked at Chengxin and said: "That's impossible, King Wu was personally picked up by the second brother, although we haven't met King Wu, but the second brother has been negotiating with Datang all these years, so it's impossible for the second brother to recognize the wrong person!" ”
Satisfied, why did a second brother come out again, and asked with a little hesitation: "Your second brother?" Who is it! ”
Ashina Muyun looked at Xiangxin with contempt, and only after a while did he spit out a name: "Ashina Lu Fei!" ”
Chengxin turned his head to look at Cheng Chumo on the side, and when he saw him nodding, he suddenly said: "Oh, it's him, our generals all know each other, I have only been in contact with the court for a short time, and it's normal not to know him!" ”
Cheng Chumo on the side also immediately said: "Well, I am fortunate to have met the second prince a few times, the second prince is strong in martial arts, especially with a bow and arrow, the last general sighs to himself!" ”
Ashina Muyun turned his head and said proudly: "I still need you to say, my second brother has always been the pride of our grassland, so the second brother will never recognize the wrong person, don't think that I will believe it if you make up any nonsense!" ”
But he hurriedly asked: "Then since it has always been your second brother who has been in contact with us, why did you suddenly become your sixth brother this time, isn't this asking for trouble?" ”
Ashina Muyun opened his mouth but didn't say anything, lowered his head a little angrily, and saw that there must be a hidden secret in this matter, and then said: "Do you still need to hide this matter, if my guess is right, your Turkic people must know about it, and no matter how bad it is, the ministers of your court will definitely know, it won't take much effort for us to know these things, it might as well we share the clues, so that we can know what each other wants to know!" ”
Ashina Muyun has never given up hope of living, and at this time he nodded when he heard Chengxin say this, he knew that what he said was something that everyone could know, and there were no state secrets.
Ashina Muyun thought for a while before saying: "Actually, the second brother is the most favored prince, but the second brother has made too many meritorious contributions, once something happens, the first thing everyone thinks of is the second brother, in the words of your Datang, what is it called!" ”
Satisfaction hurriedly added: "Meritorious master! ”
Ashina Muyun nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it is the master of high merit." But the khan didn't care at first, in his eyes we are all his children, whoever has the strength to inherit the throne in the future will be fine, but suddenly one day a minister in the court said that in Chang'an, your emperor will not cultivate the prince alone, he will select two competitors for the prince, and motivate His Royal Highness the prince in turn, so that he does not dare to slack off. ”
Speaking of this, Ashina Muyun said with some annoyance: "Just because of this person, the Khan also felt that it made sense, so he selected a few excellent people among the princes, and they divided the second brother who was originally responsible for things, so that the second brother changed from being busy every day to being idle and idle for a day, and even important things such as communicating with Datang were also assigned to the sixth brother to do!" ”
Xiangxin nodded, he had a general understanding of this kind of plot, and there were too many of them in the TV series, but Xiangxin was still a little puzzled: "What about your eldest prince, why didn't he compete with the second prince!" ”
Cheng Chumo on the side hurriedly grabbed Cheng Xin and signaled him not to talk nonsense, Xu Dong also hurriedly said to Ashina Muyun on the side: "Don't care, he really doesn't know, he doesn't mean to provoke you!" ”
Ashina Muyun was stunned for a moment, looked at their appearance, and said with some self-deprecation: "You don't have to be like this, in our opinion, when you die on the battlefield, it is also his glory that the eldest prince was killed by your emperor, otherwise how did you think the Weishui Alliance was signed at the beginning!" ”
Only then did he know that the eldest prince of the Turks had been killed, and said with some smugness: "I really don't know, but don't you feel that something is wrong, we can all guarantee that King Wu has been in Chang'an, so what you see is likely to be a fake King Wu, so it is very likely that your second prince brought a fake King Wu and deceived your six princes, and then brutally killed them, using this method to eliminate dissidents!" ”
Ashina Muyun said angrily: "What are you talking about, my second brother is not this kind of person, why has he worked hard for the country for many years, whenever there is a war, he is the first to lead the troops to fight, and every time the food for the winter is not enough, he leads the troops to grab it back, how can she do such a thing, you still don't talk nonsense!" ”
Xiangxin hurriedly explained: "It's not necessarily that the second prince wants to do this, but that there are traitors and villains who trick him into doing this, let's assume that what I just said is true, so what good do you think the second prince will do?" ”
The words were like a hammer hammer on Ashina Muyun's chest, and he said to himself in disbelief: "The sixth brother is dead, the biggest threat to the second brother is gone, and he can still start a war justifiably, the second brother has been trying to provoke a war by all means, he wants to unify all countries like Qin Shi Huang, is it really what he did?" ”
Satisfied, he keenly discovered the key question, and asked in a low voice: "The second prince is very belligerent, isn't he?" Then you even want to unify all the vassal states? ”
Ashina Muyun seemed to believe the words of his heart, nodded and said: "That's right, the second brother is very warlike, he has always wanted us to leave the plateau and go to live in the rich Jiangnan, so he has always wanted to start a war for so many years, but the Khan has never agreed to his idea." ”
Speaking of this, Ashina Muyun said with some trembling: "The sixth brother advocates peace, he has been studying with a Confucian teacher in the Tang Dynasty, he wants to learn the methods of governing the people in the Tang Dynasty, but the sixth brother only participated in the government not long after, the second brother came back with King Wu, and brought the sixth brother to Chang'an, and then there was no news." ”
