Chapter 117: Hu Guolai's Struggle for Power

Many of the cities of Datang are running like crazy, and each city has sent a considerable number of people to the new city.

Los Angeles also needs to train an additional 500 defenders to go to Haidu Fortress, and the defenders of Los Angeles will change guards every other month.

Fang Changge was planning these things in Yanyang City, and a soldier came to report.

"There is a group of envoys outside the city, who claim to be from the state of Hu, asking to see the Tang Emperor."

"This team of envoys is quite polite, they even know Datang!"

This surprised Fang Changge, this small country is different, the intelligence system is much stronger than these previous big tribal alliances.

The head of the house, Ge, asked them to be taken to the council hall, and then sent someone to inform Li Chengzhou that they would come to the council hall to see what the suddenly visited Hu Guo had to say.

In the council hall, Li Chengzhou was also looking forward to seeing Hu Guo, and he didn't know what the difference between this small country and the previous tribal alliance was.

A group of more than a dozen people from the embassy entered the council hall, and the more than 100 soldiers who had entered the city with them were also settled in the barracks, and it was the Imperial Guards who "entertained" them.

Thanks to the renovation of Yanyang City, the council hall was expanded with the remaining earth and stone to accommodate more than 20 people today.

"We are an embassy from the State of Hu, and we have come to visit the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengzhou looked at them with interest: "How did you know that Yanyang City is now under our control?" ”

"Not only do we know that Yanyang City is under your control, but Fire Bull City, Chize City, and Ironwood City are all under your control, and there are at least four cities."

"Hahahaha, almost!"

Li Chengzhou was unwilling to expose all his strength to the team of strangers in front of him.

"And how do you know?"

"It's no secret that this is not a secret, Yanyang and Hu Guo are already close, and it is easy to find out if there are any changes."

"What is your purpose, then? We haven't looked for you yet, but you've come to the door yourself. ”

"Of course, we are here in the hope of being able to get in close contact with Datang and represent our Prince Tang Bo."

Fang Changge heard the doorway.

"Ao, is it on behalf of your Prince Tang Bo, not on behalf of Hu?"

"Yes, Prince Tangbo."

Fang Changge glanced at Li Chengzhou, and Li Chengzhou immediately understood.

"You all go down first, Fang Lao and I want to have a good talk with this envoy, and the people of the mission have also retreated, leaving the leader of the mission."

Fang Changge looked at the little leader below.

"I'm interested in your Hu Kingdom, Prince Tang Bo, so what is the name of the other prince?"

The little leader laughed: "You are really a smart person." ”

"The Hu Kingdom is now in some internal chaos, the old king is terminally ill, and the remaining two princes are preparing for the succession to the throne."

"But now that Prince Tang Bo's power is weaker, he doesn't have an advantage over another prince, so if you want to use your strength to ascend to the throne now, you will be grateful after the matter is completed."

Li Chengzhou completely understood at this time that the original person who came was not from Hu Guo, but Tang Bo himself sent someone to contact Tang Jun.

Fang Changge was unhurried: "What is the benefit after the matter is completed?" ”

"We are willing to offer gold, jewelry, and beautiful slaves."

Fang Changge shook his head when he heard such an answer.

"Since we're here to talk about business, let's open the skylight and say something, we might as well talk about it."

"We really don't look down on your so-called gold jewelry, and if you want to give it, you can give it to the actual one."

"So what do you want? If you put forward your ideas, I can agree to what I can do, but I can't go back and discuss with Prince Tang Bo again. ”

"It's up to our emperor. Your Majesty, what do you want? ”

Fang Changge looked at Li Chengzhou, blinked, and winked.

Li Chengzhou understood that Fang Changge wanted him to open his mouth.

"We want three cities, and we want the wealth of your whole nation."

When Fang Changge heard this, he secretly scolded in his heart, you kid, you are really a lion's mouth, you can say such a request, and if the other side can agree, there will be ghosts.

The messenger jumped up from his chair like a cat with its tail on it.

"Impossible! Such a request is impossible! You want to directly annex the state of Hu. ”

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, we can talk slowly. In this way, my bottom line is two cities, and I don't want anything else. ”

Li Chengzhou looked at the messenger firmly, and the messenger also looked at Li Chengzhou firmly.

"Let's go back and tell Prince Tang Bo that we can't do such a thing."

Li Chengzhou nodded: "Yes, you can discuss it slowly when you go back." ”

He also knew that he was a lion with a big mouth, and the possibility of the other side agreeing was very small, let them go back and discuss it slowly, no matter what, a city must be in its hands.

The envoy scolded these Tang people in their hearts for being unreasonable, and they wanted three cities as soon as they opened their mouths, and now they even want two cities, which is too much

When he came, Prince Tang Bo said that he could only give one city at most.

Li Chengzhou paused.

"Since you can't be the master, let's talk about the next thing."

"You are at a disadvantage, what kind of disadvantage is it?"

Now it was the messenger's turn to play haha, and he didn't even look up at Li Chengzhou

"This disadvantage is not very serious, Hu has a total of four cities, which is similar to your Tang, as long as you make a move, our prince will inherit the throne is certain, and your benefits will be indispensable at that time."

Hearing this, Li Chengzhou could understand that this guy was hiding something, maybe Tang Bo's power was very weak.

"Tell me well, what is this Tang Bo? How strong are you? ”

Li Chengzhou straightened his face and asked aggressively.

"If you don't say it, then that's how our relationship is! You can go. ”

"We are kind enough to help you, but you are hiding it, coming and sending off guests!"

Now it was the messenger's turn to panic: "Wait, wait, I'll speak, I'll speak." ”

"There are three princes in the Hu country, the eldest prince Tang Fu, who won the hearts of the people, and now occupies two cities, Liangzhu and Hongshan, with 7,000 troops"

"The little prince Tang Hai, who has been in the army for many years, now occupies a city Tao Temple and 20,000 troops."

"The second prince Tang Bo, occupies a city of white birds, 3,000 troops"

"My prince really can't see any hope of defeating the other two princes, and I just heard that the sky has changed in the south, so I hurried to find you as soon as possible."

Li Chengzhou thought silently, this Tang Bo is not very weak, you can also work hard to help, and you can get some benefits when the time comes.

I just wanted to agree, but Fang Changge was the first to speak.

"Your forces are very weak, and dealing with them with you will also put us in danger, you go back and discuss it carefully, if the interests are big enough, we are willing to attack with you."

Fang Changge sent Tang Bo's people away.

"Your Majesty, only by belittling them can we gain more benefits."

"We'll wait now, they'll be back sooner or later."

"It's all up to my uncle!"
