Volume 2 Chapter 229 Beauty, Stratagem, Xue Rengui
When Xiao Yu sent a letter to Chang'an, Li Chengqian also received a message sent by Zhao Yan.
Li Chengqian was not surprised that Murong Fuyun would agree.
It doesn't matter if Murong Fuyun is as incompetent as history says.
But one thing you have to admit is that this old thing is definitely a good politician.
Historically, there are not many people who can restore the country after the destruction of the country.
Moreover, this old guy has been guarding against Murong Shun for a long time.
In the former Sui Dynasty, Murong Shun was ready to take charge of Tuyuhun with the support of Emperor Yang of Sui, but as soon as Murong Shun entered Tuyuhun, his prime minister was killed.
Although history records that Murong Shun's subordinates assassinated his prime minister, including Murong Shun, they all pointed their suspicious eyes at Murong Fuyun.
Therefore, the two fathers and sons are the models of father and son's filial piety.
"Heru, have they been doing anything lately?" Li Chengqian asked.
On the side, Liu San said: "There is no movement, since the grassland is in chaos, after Lou Ning and Qiu Bowen took people to hide, this guy also brought people and cats." ”
Initial domain name: m.
"Forget it, let them go." Li Chengqian thought about it, but still gave up the idea in his heart, "Inform Qibi He Li that tomorrow, this king will lead his troops to conquer in person." ”
What he was waiting for was the news from Zhao Yan's side, and since the news came back, it was time for him to make a move.
At this point, he and Murong Fuyun still have a tacit understanding.
The soldiers and horses of Watering River County cannot go south.
That's what both of them are trying to maintain.
Otherwise, dragging Datang into the battlefield is not in the interests of both of them.
Of course, this interest is not community.
What Li Chengqian wants is the whole Tuyuhun, and what Murong Fuyun wants is that Tuyuhun will not be dragged into the battle circle for the time being, and he needs time to recuperate.
Then, Li Chengqian's temporary control of the soldiers and horses in Douhe County has become the only solution.
This is no loss for Murong Fuyun.
At least on the surface, Murong Fuyun ignored the most important point, which was also the root cause of Tuyuhun's downfall.
Of course, this is all later, and for the time being, Li Chengqian has to deal with only Murong Shun.
"You go back and inform Zhao Yan that as long as Murong Shun dares to raise troops to the north, he will go south directly with the soldiers and horses of Douhe County, but when the time comes, he will carry the banner of my Ming Dynasty." Li Chengqian said to the person who reported the news.
The Courier nodded, and was about to leave.
Yu Chi Baolin suddenly came in with a person and said, "Your Highness, this person said that there is an important intelligence report. ”
Looking at the person brought in by Yu Chi Baolin, Li Chengqian was a little puzzled, this person was a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember who it was.
"Your Highness, the little one is on the orders of Shopkeeper Yang, and he has something important to return." The man hurriedly saluted.
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you from Yang Lin?" ”
Where Yang Lin is messing around now, Li Chengqian doesn't know.
Since he asked this guy to start war intelligence work in Tuyuhun, Li Chengqian hasn't heard from him for a long time.
"Yes, Your Highness." The man said, "This time, we got an important piece of news, and Shopkeeper Yang asked the little one to come back and return to His Highness. ”
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Say, what news." ”
Regarding the identity of this person, Li Chengqian has no doubts.
If you can enter the city, it means that those guys outside have verified the identity of this person.
"Your Highness, Murong Shun sent someone into Dohe County, and is plotting to kidnap Murong Xiaojun's young daughter, and then blame His Highness, I heard that I want to capture it and give it to ......His Highness," the man said hurriedly.
Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this.
What the heck?
Is this to forcibly stuff yourself with a woman?
However, he soon understood that Murong Shun was forcing Murong Xiaojun to wave his troops south.
"You're in Watering River County now?" Li Chengqian asked.
The man nodded and said: "Yes, at that time, we were going to enter Chishui City, but Murong Shun of Chishui City watched it too closely, and he would strictly check all the caravans that entered from the Tang Dynasty, and our shopkeeper wanted to find another way to come in from Douhe County, but then Douhe County did not let us go south, and we were trapped there."
But there was a mistake, just so that we inadvertently got the news, and the shopkeeper asked the little one to come back immediately and return to His Highness. ”
Li Chengqian nodded, anything from scratch is destined to be a difficult process.
If Yang Lin wants to establish the intelligence system of the Ming Dynasty, it will not be able to achieve results in a while.
However, this news is really important, it really made Murong Shun buckle the basin on his head, and Murong Xiaojun still had to fight with him? At that time, his plans were in vain.
This is also a coincidence, Zhao Yan's people happened to be in Douhe County, and they were in Murong Xiaojun's military camp.
"Are they doing it now?" Li Chengqian asked.
The man shook his head and said, "They haven't found a chance yet, Murong Xiaojun is just a girl, and she usually likes it very much." ”
Li Chengqian said: "In this way, you can explain in detail the number of them, where they are staying, and so on. After speaking, he looked at Zhao Yan's messenger again, "You listen carefully, don't miss any details." ”
"They have ......" The man immediately introduced all the situation, and when he finished speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Yan's messenger and said, "You remember it clearly." ”
"I remember it clearly." Zhao Yan's messenger nodded.
Li Chengqian said again: "You go back now, inform Zhao Yan, and let him tell Murong Xiaojun the news, hehehe, I don't know if Murong Xiaojun will jump up in anger when he hears the news." ”
Murong Xiaojun is a person, Li Chengqian still knows, the first general of Tuyuhun, a real famous general.
"Your Highness, Murong Xiaojun is just a daughter......" At this time, Xiao Yue on the side suddenly said.
Li Chengqian was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, from the standpoint of the Ming Dynasty, if this girl really comes to Sun Moon Mountain, it will be a good thing." Xiao Yue said with a shy, "Besides, for His Highness, this matter is not a loss. ”
What the is that...... Li Chengqian was also speechless, what does it mean not to suffer for me?
When you are the king, you can look up to any woman?
On the side, Gao Chunxing asked curiously, "How does this Murong Xiaojun's daughter look?" ”
"I heard that it is also a stunning, and even Dayan Mangjiebo covets it."
"No, what the hell are you talking about?" Li Chengqian was a little stunned.
Okay, how do you talk about this girl?
Xiao Yue said with a smile: "Your Highness, this Murong Xiaojun's daughter was not captured by us, but it was Murong Shun who did it, and we just saved it."
At that time, we just need to operate it well, and let Murong Xiaojun know the truth after the incident.
And whether we take advantage of the situation to save people, or Murong Shun sends people over, at that time, a noble girl from Tuguhun is trapped in Sun Moon Mountain, even if Murong Xiaojun can only pinch his nose and admit it.
When the time comes, he will have to send some dowry. ”
"Yes." Gao Chunxing also said, "In this way, wouldn't it be more secure for His Highness to control the soldiers and horses of Douhe County before?" Once we take down Murong Shun and deal with Murong Fuyun, as long as this news is released, Murong Fuyun's character who can't even trust his own son, I don't believe that he can still believe in Murong Xiaojun.
An army that has been restrained by us, coupled with the fact that Murong Xiaojun also has a marriage with the Ming court, even if Murong Xiaojun has a mouth full of mouths, he can't explain it clearly! ”
Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this.
Indeed, the reason why he asked for the control of the soldiers and horses of Doohe County was to lay the groundwork for the future destruction of Tuyuhun.
Murong Fuyun only saw the current interests, but ignored his suspicious character.
An army that has been restrained by Li Chengqian, does he dare to use it boldly and confidently? He is not Li Er, and he does not have Li Er's kind of mind.
But now, these bastards have come up with a more desperate method, this is not a question of whether Murong Fuyun trusts Murong Xiaojun or not, this is fucking forcing Murong Xiaojun and Murong Fuyun to break up.
"No." Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "How can the dispute between the two countries involve innocent women? This is detrimental to the prestige of this king. ”
Although he said so, what he thought in his heart was, hurry up, Lao Tzu is already tempted, hurry up and come up with an idea!
As soon as Xiao Yue heard this, he knew that there was a play, and immediately said: "What His Highness said is extremely true, how can such a thing be done by His Highness." Presumably Your Highness is tired today, right? If you don't rest sooner, we won't disturb Your Highness." ”
"Yes, this king is indeed lacking today." Li Chengqian immediately pretended to be a little sleepy, and said, "This matter will be handled by Xiao Yue with full authority, don't tarnish the reputation of this king, and retreat." ”
This matter, Li Chengqian really wants to do it, but he can't pull his face, since Xiao Yue gave him the steps, of course he has to go down.
It's not that he covets Murong Xiaojun's stunning daughter, he just wants to have more means when dealing with Tuyuhun in the future.
When Xiao Yue heard this, he immediately left with someone.
After everyone retreated, Li Chengqian looked at Chunhua and smiled, and explained with some embarrassment: "That, this king is really not greedy for beauty. ”
He didn't know why he had to explain, maybe it was because of the morality of later generations, and he always felt that this was ...... Hey, it's hard to put into words, of course, my heart is still itchy......
"Your Highness laughed." Chunhua can understand, but there are some things that she doesn't dare to say.
It stands to reason that Empress Changsun placed a few of them next to Li Chengqian, which still has some deep meaning.
But now that the power is getting heavier and heavier, they don't dare to make a mistake.
Li Chengqian also stopped explaining this issue, it was unnecessary, or it made no sense to say it.
Now that you have traveled to Datang, everything is in accordance with the rules of Datang.
As for how Xiao Yue would arrange this matter, Li Chengqian had already understood it from the words of Xiao Yue and others before.
This is really not a loss for him.
Picking up a stunning beauty for nothing can also create a gap between Murong Fuyun and Murong Xiaojun, no matter how you look at it, this deal can't be considered a loss.
Besides, before this, Murong Xiaojun still had to hate Murong Shunna?
When the time comes, when Changsun Chong and Zhao Yan take people south, this guy will not have to kill him?
That night, Zhao Yan's messenger went back.
As for the person sent back by Yang Lin to deliver the letter, Li Chengqian did not let him go back.
It's not about trusting or distrusting, it's just about planning for fewer accidents.
That's it.
The next day, Yi Yuanfeng led his men back to Riyue Mountain to go on an expedition with Li Chengqian.
This time, Li Chengqian also brought the Cadet Army.
As far as Li Chengqian's understanding of Murong Shun is concerned, this battle, as long as he is there, will be won.
The battle to be won is naturally to bring the young army to see the world.
Coming to the camp outside the Sun Moon Mountain, Qi Bi He Li had already assembled a large army.
In addition to leaving 2,000 people to block the passage from Datang to Tuyuhun and guard Riyue Mountain and various camps, this time, Riyue Mountain was almost the whole army dispatched.
There are more than 7,000 people.
In the camp of the camp, Li Chengqian said: "This time, it is the first time that our Ming court has sent troops on such a large scale, and we will fight to show the prestige of the Ming court.
But there are a few points to be clarified.
First, what is the purpose of our strategy. ”
"Annihilate the Ning Wang Army, and capture Murong Shun alive!" Ihara said immediately.
Li Chengqian has one head and two big, which is called strategic purpose?
If you really want to force Murong Shun to this point, you can see what crazy things that madman will do.
Shaking his head, he said: "Don't draw a big pie, the strategic purpose of this battle is very simple, that is, to show Murong Shun our uncompromising determination and force him to go north as much as possible."
This king has reached an agreement with Murong Fuyun, as long as Murong Shun waives his troops north, the soldiers and horses of Dohe County will be controlled by us for the time being.
When the time comes, let Murong Xiaojun's people fight with Murong Shun, and we will take advantage of the situation to sweep the grassland, if we can pacify Chishuiyuan in a battle is the best result, but if there is any change that is not under our control, then retreat immediately.
Remember, don't be in love. ”
"Murong Fuyun will really let us restrain Murong Xiaojun's soldiers and horses?" Wan Qipu was a little incredulous.
Li Chengqian said: "This is also what we have to guard against, of course, for the time being, there is no big problem."
If Murong Shun really waved his troops north, Murong Fuyun would definitely not allow him, and according to the treaty we signed before, he would not be able to wave his troops south, so it would be his only choice to hand it over to us to control and help him eliminate his rebellion.
However, this also has to be guarded against, in this way, Wang Jin, you send someone to inform the Tang side, and let Niu Jinda and Cheng Yanjin both make a posture of raising troops to move westward, presumably Murong Fuyun knows how to choose. ”
Wang Jin nodded, this matter is not difficult.
Li Chengqian's identity is there, and it is not for them to send troops directly.
It's still okay to make a show to deter Murong Fuyun.
"Remember, in this battle, we want to beat Murong Shun hard, but we can't really make him break his muscles and bones, our purpose is only to force him to go north, not really to fight him." Li Chengqian said.
Prouch asked, "Then we don't care about the scuffle between those tribes on the steppe?" ”
"No matter, compared to Murong Shun, they are just scabies." Li Chengqian said, "When Murong Shun is cleaned up, I will go back and clean up the tribes on this grassland."
Moreover, in this battle, what we want is to take Murong Shun by surprise and catch Murong Shun off guard.
He now has tens of thousands of soldiers, and he must have thought that we didn't dare to do anything with him, but he forgot that the soldiers of my Ming Dynasty's court, in the past, two thousand could break 10,000, but now it is several times that of the beginning, how can I be afraid of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? ”
He didn't say one of the main reasons, as long as Murong Shun was not forced to the point where he jumped over the wall in a hurry, how could he really do anything to him?
This is the benefit of his status, although there are many restrictions in Datang.
But in the face of these aliens, his identity is too good.
Especially Murong Shun, a guy who wants to return to the Tang Dynasty.
When everyone heard this, they didn't think there was anything wrong.
Ever since Li Chengqian appeared, they have been working miracles.
Miracles have been created so much that they have come to believe that they are miracle makers.
Besides, deal with Murong Shun!
Most of the people present here have an inextricable enmity with this guy.
Even if it is Qi Bi He Li, it is a feud with the Murong family!
What's there to say, fuck it.
"This time the big battle is under the unified command of General Qibi, and the rest of the people are all under his orders......" Li Chengqian saw that there was no problem with everyone, so he arranged the specific division of labor for this war.
"The last general commands." In an instant, everyone bowed their hands.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Let's go and prepare." ”
Everyone gave a salute and retired, but Li Chengqian left He Li behind.
After everyone left, Li Chengqian said to Liu San: "Go and call Xue Rengui." ”
When Liu San went to call Xue Rengui, Li Chengqian asked: "Does General Qibi have any plans for this battle?" ”
"Back to Your Highness." Qi Bi He Li said, "This battle, the last general has also thought about it before, Murong Shun will definitely not dare to fight with His Highness, as long as His Highness is here, this battle will be won." ”
It's also funny to say that although Li Chengqian is not a good hand at charging into battle, his role in this battle is very important.
As long as Li Chengqian is in the barracks, Murong Shun will definitely be restrained.
There was no way, he didn't have the courage to attack Li Chengqian when the two armies were fighting.
What is it like?
It's a bit like the dilemma of Emperor Jianwen's subordinates when they faced Zhu Di.
But what happened to these two in the end?
"But the general must also remember not to drive the dog into the poor alley." Li Chengqian said, "Accidents can happen in everything. ”
He Li nodded, he also understood this.
This battle is said to be easy to fight, it is really easy to fight, and it is not easy to fight, but it is actually not easy to fight.
It all depends on Murong Shun's attitude towards Li Chengqian.
Retreat, then this battle is almost no suspense.
But if Murong Shun is really ruthless and the net is broken, it will be troublesome.
Not long after, Xue Rengui was brought in by Liu San.
Xue Rengui was actually a little puzzled, why did His Highness call him to do it?
His current life is quite comfortable, not to mention anything else, at least it is true that he has a full stomach.
"Your Highness." Xue Rengui said.
Li Chengqian smiled: "Are you still used to it in the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"I'm used to it, three meals a day, but I don't have to go hungry."
"Are you willing to go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions?"
"Your Highness cares that I am full, and I should be willing to serve His Highness!"
After a few words of greeting, Li Chengqian looked at He Li and said, "This person will be handed over to you by the king, he is a good seedling, cultivate it well." ”
