Volume 2 Chapter 209 Xue Rengui makes his debut!
Wei Zheng still left after all, he came in a hurry, and he went in a hurry!
He thought that this trip would be delayed for some time, but who knows, it was only a few days, and he had to hurry back to Chang'an.
It's hard to understand what he thinks.
In fact, the reason is simple.
As a witness of the Xuanwumen Incident, he hoped that the imperial power could be smoothly replaced.
There are not many people who know better than him the cruelty of the alternation of imperial power.
Even Fang Xuanling and others can't do it!
Why? Because he is Li Jiancheng's person, that's all.
Of course, this is only one of them, and the second is that the heart for the country and the people is restless again.
Before leaving, he asked Changle for his opinion as usual, and wanted to take the little guy back, but Li Chengqian didn't say anything, and everything was left to Changle to decide.
Surprisingly, Changle patted his small chest and said that he would not leave.
Wei Zheng didn't insist, he wanted to send the child himself, which fully illustrated his recognition of the Ming court.
After Wei Zheng left, Li Chengqian was not idle.
The internal stability of the Ming Dynasty is temporarily stable, and the next thing to deal with is external matters.
The key to this is the Dayan Mang knot.
Just as Li Chengqian was about to gather all the heads and brains of Sun Moon Mountain to discuss, a person who surprised Li Chengqian appeared.
Wang Qing is back!
Who is Wang Qing? It was the guy who was secretly lurking with Fang Ping at the beginning.
At the beginning, Li Chengqian let these two guys lurk, just hoping that if something really happened to him, someone would be able to spread the news, at least someone could avenge himself, and at that time, he even regarded these two people as his killer weapon.
Only afterwards did Li Chengqian realize how naΓ―ve his approach was.
As Fang Ping came back with Wan Qipu and others, he also asked Ma Ye and others to pay attention to Wang Qing's news, but who knew that Wang Qing was really hidden, and even Ma Ye and others couldn't find it.
Of course, this is also Li Chengqian's original confession, he told Wang Qing and Fang Ping not to expose their whereabouts.
For a long time, Li Chengqian thought that something had happened to this guy, but who would have thought that he would actually run back from Douhe County.
"Bring people." Li Chengqian said, "This period of time has also suffered him. β
When Liu San heard this, he hurriedly ran out.
It's all old brothers, and when there was no news of this guy before, everyone was worried about it.
After a while, Wang Qing was ushered in.
Seeing Wang Qing's emaciated appearance, Li Chengqian was also full of emotion, got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'm sorry for you." β
"Serving His Highness is the duty of his subordinates." Even though Wang Qing was already very haggard, his waist was still straight.
Li Chengqian nodded, this is someone else's kindness, and he can't refuse.
"When did you go to Dohe County?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.
Douhe County was the territory of Murong Xiaojun, the king of Gaochang, and was located north of the source of Chishuiyuan.
Mentioning this, Wang Qing immediately said: "Your Highness, Murong Xiaojun is secretly gathering troops and horses, and is preparing to wave his army south, I heard that Murong Fuyun is very likely to be in Douhe County. β
That's why he hurried back.
In Douhe County, he didn't receive much information, especially about Sun Moon Mountain.
But as soon as he heard that Murong Xiaojun was secretly gathering soldiers and horses, he immediately thought of Li Chengqian, but as soon as he came back, he was dumbfounded, how long has it been, Li Chengqian's side is already so strong?
However, when Li Chengqian heard him say this, he also understood.
Murong Xiaojun only dared to gather troops and horses secretly, after all, Niu Jinda was now at the border of Chen Bing, which shocked him.
Of course, Li Chengqian didn't care too much about this, it was normal, and then said: "Don't talk about Murong Xiaojun, talk about you, why did you go to Dohe County?" β
Inviting people to buy people's hearts, Li Chengqian is now very handy, besides, whether Murong Xiaojun or Murong Fuyun, what is their purpose, doesn't Li Chengqian know?
Now that you know, of course you care about your subordinates at this time.
When Wang Qing heard this, he was quite moved, and immediately told him what had happened to him.
It can only be said that this kid is really unlucky.
When he was on the grassland, he was inadvertently discovered by Lou Ning's people, and then it was an endless pursuit, and finally when he was seriously injured and dying, he thought that he was going to confess on the grassland, but he was saved by a line of merchants from the east of the river.
How else to say that this guy shouldn't die?
The merchant didn't intend to save him, but he listened to his official dialect in Hedong, so he came to his aid.
Directly brought this guy back to Jiangzhou, and after recuperating from his injuries in Jiangzhou, he took a few descendants of his fellow villagers to Tuyuhun again.
However, this time, he did not enter the Chishui source, but hid directly in Douhe County, and only then did he learn about Murong Xiaojun's actions.
"Good work." After listening to him, Li Chengqian sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
It's an understatement, but it's not easy to be a person who has experienced it, who can understand?
Wang Qing said embarrassedly: "That, Your Highness, when I came back from Jiangzhou, because of the inconvenience of my legs and feet, I hired a few people, and I promised them that I would pay them......
"It doesn't matter." Li Chengqian smiled, "Go, where are the people?" This king should be thankful for these heroes who sent this king's warriors back! β
If you invite people to buy people's hearts, then invite them to buy thoroughly.
Immediately, Wang Qing was grateful, and the sins he suffered during this time felt worth it in an instant.
Not long after, a few people came to the canteen in the valley, and those juniors from Jiangzhou were feasting in the canteen, no way, since they escorted Wang Qing into Douhe County, the group had not eaten enough.
Li Chengqian didn't bother them either, and it happened that after Wang Qing came back, he didn't have time to eat, so he simply let him eat first.
After about half a burnt incense, those people were taken to Li Chengqian by Liu San after eating.
"This is our Highness, don't salute yet!" Liu San said immediately.
"Forget it." Seeing that a few people were a little restrained, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Spring flower." β
When Chunhua heard the sound, she stepped forward with a plate, and there were four silver ingots on it, just one for each person.
"Since Wang Qing promised to pay you, then naturally you can't be missing." Li Chengqian immediately said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old immediately said: "There is no need for so much, what we agreed with Brother Wang that day was ten yuan a day, which is only more than three months, at most the money is enough, this is too much." β
In the early years of Zhenguan, the salary was ten yuan a day, which was already quite remarkable.
After all, a bucket of grain is only at this price, and you can earn more than a bucket of grain a day, where is there such a good errand.
"If there are more, it will be rewarded by my Royal Highness." Chunhua said in a stern tone, "Hurry up and take it." β
Not to mention, although Chunhua is a little girl, she has lived in the palace for a long time, and the momentum is pinched, and these guys are really a little frightened.
"Take it, the excess should be regarded as the king's reward for sending Wang Qing back." Li Chengqian said with a smile on the side.
Hearing Li Chengqian say this, several people immediately reached out and took a silver ingot.
It wasn't until this moment that a few people breathed a sigh of relief.
The bag is safe, and it is the most down-to-earth.
"Your Highness, I don't know if Sun Moon Mountain still needs people to work?" One young man said, "I can do anything, as long as I get paid." β
Li Chengqian was happy when he heard this, and said: "If you are willing, there is a lot of work for you to do." β
"Just pay your wages." The young man said immediately, a little honest in his tone.
Li Chengqian naturally didn't care, and then said: "Okay, you rest for a few days first, and when the time comes, it's up to you whether you want to stay and work or go back." β
After speaking, Li Chengqian asked a few people to take them to rest.
There were only a few people on the left and right, and Li Chengqian really didn't pay attention to it.
After eating, Wang Qing saw that those guys had gone away, and immediately said: "These descendants are actually good, especially that Xue Rengui, who is as powerful as an ox and is a good seedling." It's a pity that it's a rice bucket, and along the way, he ate me poor! β
"What did you say his name was?" Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard this!
Who? Xue Rengui? Li Chengqian couldn't believe his ears at all!
Three arrows set the generation of the god of war in the Tianshan Mountain?
"Xue Rengui." Wang Qing said suspiciously.
Li Chengqian is simply crazy with happiness.
He is now short of famous generals, although Qi Bi He Li is indeed a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, but compared to Xue Rengui, it is still far behind.
"Tell me more about this Xue Rengui." Li Chengqian asked.
He was also afraid of meeting someone with the same name.
Wang Qing said: "This kid's ancestors are also rich, but his father died early, and now he can be regarded as a family down, his real name is Xue Li, and the word Rengui ......"
After listening to Wang Qing's introduction, Li Chengqian confirmed that it was him!
It's all right!
"This man is left for the king." Li Chengqian said, "Well, let him go to the young army for a while, and when necessary, you might as well tell the truth about the identity of this king." β
For Xue Rengui, Li Chengqian's importance can be seen.
In the original history, Xue Rengui only joined the army in the last year of Zhenguan, and he picked up a bargain. Originally, he also wanted to wait for Xue Rengui to join the army, and then find a way to get someone from Li Er, but he didn't expect that this guy would send it to the door by himself.
Wang Qing and the others were a little puzzled, why did His Highness value this person so much?
Could it be that there is something so great about this man?
Li Chengqian couldn't explain this to them.
However, at this time, Li Chengqian was in a good mood.
And at this moment, Zhao Yan came to report that Murong Fuyun's envoy had arrived outside the mountain and asked to see Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian sneered, just in time, and immediately asked people to bring the messenger to his big tent.
"See Your Highness, Foreign Minister." The messenger immediately bowed.
"Your envoy is exempt." Li Chengqian said with a smile: "I don't know what your envoy is doing this time?" β
The envoy said: "The foreign minister was ordered by the Khan of Busaba to come to His Highness to discuss the matter of my Prince Tuyuhun. β
"Prince Tuyuhun?" Li Chengqian pretended to be puzzled and said, "What does this have to do with this king?" This king has never seen any Prince Tuyuhun. β
The envoy was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Li Chengqian meant, and said: "It is the foreign minister who has lost his word, and the Khan of Busabo hopes that His Royal Highness will return some of my people in Tuyuhun." β
"Your envoy said this, this king does not understand." Li Chengqian said, "It is true that there were some thieves who often attacked my Ming Dynasty before, but now the thieves are ambushed and the thieves are captured, could it be that these thieves were sent by your Khan?" β
The messenger froze.
How do you take this?
The biggest purpose of his trip was to ensure the death of Yanmang, which was a death order given by Murong Fuyun.
"What does Your Highness want?" The messenger said.
From Li Chengqian's words, he has actually learned a lot of information.
One of the most important is that Dayan Mangjiebo is still alive.
As long as Dayan Mangjiebo is still alive, then it can still be discussed.
Before he came, what he was most afraid of was that Li Chengqian was angry and had already cut off Dayan Mang's head.
"Is this the king saying this for the sake of petty profits?" Li Chengqian's face suddenly changed.
The messenger is called a grievance, but now the situation is not as good as people, but it can't be.
Of course, as a representative of a country, the envoy's momentum could not fall, so he immediately straightened his waist and said, "Although Your Highness has a noble status, don't forget where this is?" β
The implication of these words could not be more obvious.
Li Chengqian chuckled when he heard this, and said, "Where do you still need to be reminded by your envoy?" Liu San, tell him where this is! β
"This is the Ming Dynasty! You guy, if you dare to speak out, you should be killed! Liu San immediately shouted.
Of course, this did not have much effect on the messenger.
None of those who dared to come to the envoy were afraid of death.
Even a little Tuguhun is the same.
"Your Highness, let's not go around in circles, Your Highness, please speak up, how can we release people?" The messenger asked.
He found out, and he was still not qualified to play tricks with these Han people.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Joke, can the thief Kou Yan let the tiger return to the mountain?" Is it waiting for him to gather thieves to disturb my royal court? β
"As long as His Highness is willing to release people, Tuyuhun is willing to take out countless cattle and sheep and exchange them with them." The messenger said.
Li Chengqian still shook his head: "What about countless cattle and sheep?" Thieves can rob them at any time. β
"Then what does Your Highness want?" The messenger asked.
"You can't be the master." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "In this way, you inform you Khan that in three days, this king will take the thief leader to meet him at the border of Datang Hezhou, if he has the courage, let's talk face to face!" β
The envoy had the heart to refuse, but before he could speak, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Go back and ask your Khan what he means, and then say, in three days, this king will wait for him in Hezhou!" β
The messenger had no choice but to leave.
As soon as he left, Li Chengqian ordered: "Hurry up, get ready, and return to Taoyuan immediately." β
Then the crowd moved.
This time back to Taoyuan, Li Chengqian brought 2,000 soldiers and horses, and he was mighty.
When he was leaving, Fang Yiai followed with a dead face, Li Chengqian didn't refuse, he knew what this kid was thinking, it was nothing more than a show or two for the eldest grandson.
Now that Fang Yiai has followed, the Young Army is naturally indispensable.
The next day, everyone went to the Zhuangzi in Taoyuan.
When the eldest grandson Chong saw everyone, the whole person was stunned.
Fang Yiai is really not a thing, and he has to show off with them, and everyone is itching.
Li Chengqian didn't bother to care about them, and after repairing them, everyone set off again, went straight to Hezhou, and arrived at Cheng Biting Jin's territory that night.
Cheng Yanjin heard that Li Chengqian was going to meet with Murong Fuyun at the border of Hezhou, and his mind was blindfolded!
How dare you think about it!
"Your Highness, if this is not a good negotiation, it will be on the verge of a big war." Cheng Yanjin said earnestly.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Why is the meeting bad?" This king thought about it, and Murong Fuyun would definitely agree to this king to sign a non-aggression pact. β
"What non-aggression pact?" Cheng Biting Jin was a little blindfolded.
Li Chengqian said: "It is the tripartite non-aggression treaty between the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and Tuyuhun.
It's very simple, as long as Tuyuhun doesn't send troops to the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is not allowed to send troops to Tuyuhun......"
After listening to Li Chengqian, Cheng Biting Jin was speechless.
You call this a tripartite non-aggression pact?
"That, Your Highness, Lao Cheng can't be the master." Cheng Yanjin shook his head, what a shrewd person he is, he has to do things that are more than necessary.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Gu knows that Su Guogong is embarrassed, don't worry, Su Guogong is not in charge of this matter." This lord has done it, how can you say it, Lone is still the prince of the Tang Dynasty, right? Can't do this little thing? β
Even though Cheng bit Jin Ren was old and refined, when he heard Li Chengqian's words, he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.
No, do you remember that you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty?
You prince should be really speechless, when there is no benefit, you are the king of the Ming Dynasty, when there is good, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, this identity switch, it is really called a silky!
"But this treaty has been signed, it is not good for the Tang Dynasty, if Murong Fuyun has not been using troops against the Ming Dynasty? Wouldn't Datang be able to use troops if he wanted to? Cheng Yanjin asked.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Su Guogong's words are wrong, the Tang Dynasty can't use troops against Murong Fuyun, but the Ming Dynasty can?" When did the Ming Dynasty mobilize troops against Tuyuhun, it was not a matter of this king's words? β
Of course, he did this with deep meaning.
Tuyuhun is a piece of meat on his chopping board, and no one can touch this piece of meat.
Datang can't do it either!
Cheng Yanjin really understands at this time.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he said, "Your Majesty has to make a decision on this matter." β
"That's natural, after the treaty is signed, Su Guogong can send someone to Chang'an."
Li Chengqian didn't care, Li Er wouldn't refuse this little thing.
At the same time, Murong Fuyun smiled and said, "Is he sure that the Tang Dynasty military might not dare to go to the appointment?" Command the three armies, open the tug-of-war state! β
In the face of the former Sui back then, he could be afraid of it, and he could be afraid of Li Er, but he was despised by a junior, which he couldn't bear.
Of course, he will not be careless that the three armies will be pulled out, even if Cheng Biting Jin will not dare to act rashly, he will see if Li Chengqian has the courage to meet with him.
When the appointed time arrived, Murong Fuyun's envoy sent a letter to invite him.
But when Cheng Yanjin learned that Murong Fuyun had assembled a large army one hundred and ten miles outside the border, he hesitated, if Li Chengqian went to the appointment, what kind of accident happened, it would be terrible.
"It doesn't matter." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "This is just Murong Lao'er's dismount, he should be afraid of this king?" β
Cheng Yanjin has repeatedly persuaded him, but where will Li Chengqian listen to persuasion?
For Murong Fuyun, Li Chengqian knows much more than Cheng Biting Jin, this old guy, just these two times, really fights, and runs faster than a dog!
"Okay, Su Guogong doesn't need to persuade him anymore, don't forget, as long as we still have Dayan Mang's junction in our hands, forgive him and don't dare to act rashly."
Cheng Yanjin was helpless and said: "Then this time the old man accompanied His Highness to the appointment." β
"Su Guogong should have go." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Otherwise, this tripartite treaty must not be less than one party?" β
Cheng Biting Jin is helpless.
Soon, the two led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the agreed place.
Of course, Hezhou has also been in full swing, and along the way, the horses are constantly being explored, just to be able to come to the rescue in the fastest time.
Li Chengqian didn't mind, and after looking at Murong Fuyun, he took a few people to ride forward.
Someone around Murong Fuyun said: "Khan, the one who came on horseback is the prince of the Tang Dynasty." β
"What a guts!" Even if it was an enemy, Murong Fuyun praised it from the bottom of his heart, "My son didn't lose unjustly!" β
In terms of bearing and courage alone, even Murong Fuyun felt that Dayan Mangjiebo was not as good as Li Chengqian.
"The court of the Ming Dynasty - the king of Ming, invite the Khan of Busabo to meet with him." Liu San shouted at the top of his voice.
On the side, although Cheng Yanjin was speechless, he really sighed.
This is the demeanor that the prince of the Tang Dynasty should have.
Murong Fuyun didn't hesitate at the moment, stepped forward immediately, and said with a mocking face: "I don't know if His Royal Highness will meet with Ben Khan as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, the Ming king?" β
"This king only believes that he has shot it with a knife." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "There is no way, this king is also involuntarily, and if he doesn't work hard, he can only go back to the Tang Dynasty to inherit a huge empire in the future, which is really not what this king wants." β
I ...... grass
That's a indiscriminate attack!
What does it mean that if you don't work hard, you can only go back to the Tang Dynasty to inherit a huge empire?
Is this annoying?
Murong Fuyun was speechless.
Why don't we change the two?
You will be the khan of Tuyuhun, and I will be Li Er's son?
Is this a human word?
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Li Chengqian was puzzled: "What? Don't you believe me? Think for yourselves? In the past, when I went out of Chang'an in the west, there were only more than 20 people, and now it is only half a year before the time comes, and the elite soldiers under the command of this king have reached tens of thousands, and tens of thousands of people.
This will give this king another ten and a half years, why does this king need to inherit the Tang Dynasty and build an empire comparable to the Tang Dynasty, why not? So this king said that he couldn't help himself, is it wrong? β
Li Chengqian was speechless and endless, and everyone was stunned again.
If you really want to say that, you're right!
Murong Fuyun had a gloomy face and said, "King Ming, is this provoking Ben Khan?" It's not that King Ming forgot that your current territory is still Tuguhun land! β
"So what?" Li Chengqian sneered.
As soon as his voice fell.
The scene suddenly became tense!
Cheng Biting Jin is crazy!
It's going to be a fight!
However, there are not many people around him at this time, and if he really wants to fight, he is sure to deal with Murong Fuyun.
"Young man, you are really arrogant!" Murong Fuyun said angrily, "Isn't Datang Mo going to start a war against me? β
Li Chengqian said: "Khan doesn't want to talk about the east and west, what does this have to do with the Tang Dynasty?" This is the contradiction between the Ming Dynasty and Tuyuhun, isn't it the Khan who wants to go to war with the Tang Dynasty? Su Guogong, the Khan wants to start a war against the Tang Dynasty, how do you say? β
"Then hit! What a! Cheng Yanjin was speechless.
It's all called something.
Murong Fuyun sneered: "King Ming is like a clever tongue, when did Ben Khan say that he was going to start a war with the Tang Dynasty?" The recent turmoil in Chishuiyuan, wasn't it all stirred up by Datang? β
"Jokes." Li Chengqian said bluntly, "This king doesn't believe that the Khan doesn't know the reason, if it weren't for Murong Shun's perverse actions, how could there be today's affairs?" Although this king is constantly fighting with Murong Shun in Chishuiyuan, but look at the command behind me, how many Han people are, and how many are you Tuyuhun people?
Did Datang have a single soldier participate in the battle of Chishuiyuan?
Besides, the Khan keeps calling the King of Ming, and when he also recognizes the Ming Dynasty, how can he say such unreliable words? β
Murong Fuyun was dumbfounded.
What the is a ball......
But Cheng is still worried, how should this end?
How did he know that this was the trend that Li Chengqian wanted.
------Off topic------
Sorry sorry, I swiped the news for a day today, and the update was late...... You get the idea.
By the way, those who have recently been trying to conceive should stop first in case someone is reincarnated!
Hahaha.
