What is the will of the state?

It is a person who commits an inch of land in our country, and the chicken and dog are not left!

This is the will of the state.

At least that's how it is in this day and age!

You just have to be a little weaker, and the surrounding country will show its fangs.

Only by beating them pain, subduing them, and beating them to the point where there is nothing to say, will they be willing to give you more awe.

Don't you understand Li Chengqian?

He understands.

But he knew better that he couldn't do that.

If you really want to fight to the death with Subi for the sake of the so-called national will at this time, only Tubo will be fulfilled in the end.

When the time comes, Songtsen Gampo will definitely come to teach him what is the true national will.

What the sword points to, where the soldiers and horses go, is the will of the country!

At this time, he earned enough money and food, extinguished the war, and slowed down the progress of the unification of Tibet, which was his will.

What if Lu Dongzan figured it out?

Do you want to be a gentleman and deceive him?

Well, I, Li Chengqian, have never been a gentleman.

For the sake of short-term interests, giving up long-term interests is irresponsible to the Ming court.

It's good now, Subi has become your great enemy of Tibet, I don't know what you should do with Tibet?

"In this case, can I, Tubo, also purchase ordnance from the Ming Dynasty?" Lu Dongzan exhaled deeply and said.

It was the only thing he could do at this point.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Of course you can, a pair of crossbows, a discount of twenty-five stone grain, you can get an arrow clip." ”

"King Ming, isn't this taking advantage of the fire to rob?" Hearing this price, Lu Dongzan almost gritted his teeth and said this.

At this price, 1,000 repeaters will cost 25,000 stone of grain!

"Joke, according to the price of grain in Chang'an, the bucket grain is only six wen, the stone grain is only sixty, and the twenty-five stone is only one thousand five hundred wen, at this price, do you still think it is expensive?

This king is sold to Datang, and it is about the same price, is it possible, you Tubo and I are more close to Datang? ”

If you really want to talk about this price, it is actually a conscience price.

The second, third, and fourth generations of repeaters are not yet for sale, otherwise they would be more expensive.

What really made Lu Dongzan feel expensive was that Li Chengqian changed the unit of pricing to grain.

Twenty-five stone of grain is enough for a family of ten to barely eat for a year.

Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said, "But the Ming Dynasty has ten pieces of food!" Twenty-five stones is two thousand five hundred wen! ”

Regarding the price of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Dongzan has been to know about it every time he has come before, and he is no stranger to it.

"Doesn't this mean that my Ming court is short of food?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "If my Ming court has enough food, this king also hopes that the grain of the Ming court will only be sold for six wen and one bucket." ”

Lu Dongzan asked, "Can I trade with other equivalent money?" ”

"Yes, but the grain has to account for 60 percent of the trade." Li Chengqian said, "If it weren't for food, would your envoy think that the Ming Dynasty would sell the ordnance to the outside world?" ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian no longer paid attention to him, and the current situation should not be in the Ming Dynasty, but you in Tibet.

"Does His Royal Highness King Ming mean that as long as you have money, you can buy as much food as you want?" Lu Dongzan asked again.

This time, Li Chengqian shook his head: "Your envoy's words are wrong, after all, the Ming Dynasty court sells ordnance only to solve the food crisis, and once the food crisis is solved, it will naturally not sell ordnance again."

After all, this is undoubtedly an enemy for the Ming Dynasty! ”

"The minister understands." Lu Dongzan gave his hand and retired.

After he left, Changsun Chong asked suspiciously, "Why did Your Highness say this?" In fact, there are more and more euphemistic arguments, which can also make Tubo find out unreasonable. ”

This is not wrong, in the final analysis, Li Chengqian is still too simple and too direct, so he almost told people that I did it on purpose.

However, Li Chengqian smiled: "No matter what we say, they will think in the direction they want to believe, understand?"

As if no matter what they said, the king decided that the reason why Subi came on a large scale was because of their influence.

It's a truth.

The result is the same, nothing more than a bit of euphemism.

There is no need, this king just wants to let them know that since you Tubo like to use yin tricks, you have to bear the consequences of yourself. ”

"Then we really want to sell ordnance to Tibet?" Li Qinjian asked.

"Sell, why not." Li Chengqian said, "We are not very clear about the future situation in Tibet, and at present, it is still not appropriate to offend Tibet too much.

However, now that Subi is weak, we can't let Tubo be too strong, otherwise once Tubo takes Subi, it will be our Ming Dynasty who will be in trouble.

In this way, Li Shilang, after Lu Dongzan and you have discussed the details of the transaction, you will inform Liu San of the news, and Liu San will send someone to inform King Subi.

Hehe, in this way, we also have an explanation for Subi. ”

Li Chengqian is really lacking in morality, he is simply not a son of man.

Isn't this a clear plan to let the king of Subi lead a large army to intercept the money and grain of Tibet?

"But once Subi becomes stronger, I'm afraid it's not a friendly neighbor." Wang Xuance said.

Li Chengqian waved his hand, and said: "You don't understand this, if Su Bi has the upper hand, then we should support Tubo, only the strength of both of them is at a critical point, that is the victory of my Ming court." ”

"But if once the strength of the two sides is equal and they find that they can't deal with each other, they calm down and find that after the war begins, only our Ming royal court will be the final beneficiary, and there is a risk of joining forces." He Li said.

Absolutely.

Once the war really reached that point, they found that both sides had suffered heavy losses, and only the Ming Dynasty had made a lot of money, and it was indeed possible to join forces.

However, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "The general has forgotten that this king said to Lu Dongzan before that the reason why the Ming court sold ordnance was because of the worry of food.

This king said this not only to Lu Dongzan, but also to King Subi.

Therefore, when the second transaction with the king of Subi, the king of Subi was very considerate and sent 3,000 prisoners of war.

Presumably he will send more prisoners of war in the future.

Can the general understand the deep meaning of King Subi's move? ”

Qi Bi He Li was taken aback, "Is he increasing the consumption of food by the Ming Dynasty?" ”

This......

After saying that, Qi Bi He Li was dumbfounded, if both sides did this, then the two of them would have a mortal enmity.

"But the more captives they send by then, won't Subi and Tubo be more resentful of our Ming court? After all, his own people are slaves in the Ming Dynasty, who can stand this breath? Pusiro said.

Li Chengqian shook his head: "Who said that they came to the Ming Dynasty to be slaves?" You don't want this kind of thinking, this time, this king assigned Minglou City, Zhennan City and Tiele City to Zhennan Mansion to solve this problem.

Since these poor people were sent to my Ming court as slaves, then of course my Ming court has to make good use of it.

You don't have to worry about this, this king has already made arrangements. ”

As for Zhennan Mansion, they had received the news before, so they were not surprised.

In today's Ming Dynasty, Li Chengqian decides everything in one word, and they are used to it.

is such a power, hehe, Li Er doesn't have it in Datang.

"You don't have to worry about the south, now we should worry about the north." Li Chengqian said, "With the news of Murong Wanqiu's question about the media before the autumn formation, there will definitely be some friction between Douhe County and Murong Fuyun.

After being in contact for such a long time, this king also discovered that this Murong Fuyun is definitely a suspicious person by nature, how can such a person tolerate the marriage between his subordinates and enemy countries.

In addition, during this time, Watering River County made a lot of money, which had long caused dissatisfaction among other tribes.

The wall is down, and everyone is pushing it!

Hey, this time it's time to play. ”

"That's right." Speaking of this, Qi Qi He Li smiled, "Others don't know, that Dayan Mang Jiebo is estimated to be able to hate Murong Xiaojun to death."

The minister heard about it when he was in Atami, and that guy has always regarded the princess as a forbidden person, so he naturally didn't dare to ask His Highness for trouble, but he still dared to find trouble with Douhe County. ”

"This is now." Yi Yuanxi said, "In the past, when Murong Xiaojun was powerful, Dayan Mang's fart didn't dare to let go. ”

"That's it." Li Chengqian said, "The army should be on guard, and don't fall behind in drills, a big war may break out at any time."

On the side of the Ministry of Rites, you might as well walk around with Douhe County more, now Murong Xiaojun must have grievances, but it doesn't matter, we should respect the elderly, who made him suffer such a big loss?

Don't stop the business of Hubu and Douhe County, continue to increase the suspicion between them, and the wealth is moving!

There is no special arrangement on the part of the Ministry of Industry, after all, the Ministry of Industry has done a good job in all aspects.

However, the Ministry of Industry can still increase the exploration of various mineral deposits, which is necessary.

In the future, we will need a lot of minerals, and we will be completely dependent on imports from other countries, which will easily get stuck, and this is the case with the current food crisis. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, Wechen has already instructed the people below to pay more attention." For this, Ihara Seok is also very concerned.

The rest of the people also nodded.

The biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty now does come from the north, after all, it is impossible for Murong Fuyun not to want to take back the Chishui source, the reason why there is no movement now is because of the Tang Dynasty's deterrence, and secondly, their own strength is not good, so many years of snow disasters have indeed dragged down Tuyuhun.

Now Murong Fuyun is thinking of working hard to restore Tuyuhun to its peak state, and then look for an opportunity to recover the Chishui source.

But he wants to recover the Chishui source, and Li Chengqian also wants to plot his Douhe County, which is more interesting.

In fact, relatively speaking, Li Chengqian's plot to water Hejun was simpler than Murong Fuyun's recovery of Chishuiyuan.

Without him, Li Chengqian still has Datang behind him, even if Datang does not produce a single soldier, as long as he is still standing there, it is a powerful deterrent.

This is also Li Chengqian's confidence, fight for strength first, fight for strength is not enough, let's fight for Dad!

"Then we'll take our leave." Puccin stood up and said.

Li Chengqian nodded, and after they left, Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda walked in.

They've been waiting for a long time, too.

However, Li Chengqian and the Ming Dynasty ministers discussed state affairs, and they had no choice.

"Congratulations to Your Highness on your victory." As soon as they entered, the two of them saluted.

"It's overrated." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "It's just that I used some carving insect skills." ”

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "But there are more than ten days, His Royal Highness will win and return, when a hero is a young man, how can the carving insect skills cover up the past?" ”

He didn't mean to be flattering, but he was thinking in his heart.

For a veteran like him, winning a battle is nothing, but winning so quickly and so easily, it's not easy.

This is the crushing of absolute strength.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Uncle Wang doesn't know how the little nephew won this time, otherwise, he would definitely not say such a thing." ”

"Oh?" Li Xiaogong came to the spirit, Li Chengqian didn't mention it, and it was inconvenient for him to ask, since he mentioned it, then he asked casually, "I don't know how His Highness won?" ”

Li Chengqian even told him all about his trip to the south.

Niu Jinda and Li Xiaogong were stunned when they heard this.

Good fellow, you're an enemy!

No, it's playing with fire.

"Your Highness is not afraid of being attacked by it?" Li Xiaogong said with some doubts.

Li Chengqian said: "What's the use of being afraid? In addition to the south, the Ming court is bordered by Tuyuhun on the west and north, and the Tang Dynasty is on the east, Tuyuhun will not go south now, Murong Fuyun is still waiting for the so-called opportunity, and the only one bordering Daming is the Tang Dynasty.

Is it possible, will Datang still send troops to Daming? ”

The reason why he decided on this plan was precisely because the geopolitics of the Ming Dynasty were now clean and outrageous.

The Tibetans had the wrong idea from the beginning.

How could Li Chengqian fight with Su Bi for the sake of face.

"Your Highness is so bold." Li Xiaogong said with a smile when he heard this.

Just now he also pondered this question in his heart, if everything is according to what Li Chengqian said, then the Ming Dynasty is indeed the biggest beneficiary.

But from the perspective of a military general like him and Niu Jinda, this is indeed a bit of a loss of majesty.

Since someone dares to put his hand on our land, no matter the reason, it should be defeated in a battle.

"It's not bold." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "What if this king defeats or even completely annihilates the Subi army? It was my Ming soldiers who lost, but it was Tubo who gained in the end.

This in itself is not a good deal, it is good now, the Ming Dynasty is not damaged, the enemy army has retreated, and it is Tubo who should have a headache.

Didn't they say before that as long as those rebels returned to Tibet, they would be able to exterminate them?

Hehe, this king sent them back.

Now it's up to them to exterminate it. ”

Li Xiaogong smiled, there is really nothing to say, from the perspective of Daming, Li Xiaogong can only say one word, well done.

After a few pleasantries, the two also left.

On the way back, Niu Jinda said with a smile: "We all know what Tubo is thinking, this time, they can be regarded as lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot." ”

"The old man didn't expect that His Highness had grown to this point." Li Xiaogong nodded and said, "Don't forget, Your Highness is only a little over ten years old now, and his heart is stable, which is not far behind us veterans."

To tell the truth, when the old man heard about the attack of Tibet, the first thing he thought about was to let these Tibetan thieves come and go.

More than ten years old, it's really enviable. ”

"The old man thinks it's good." Niu Jinda said, "There are many ways to retreat from the enemy, no matter which one you want, it's good to retreat from the enemy." ”

Li Xiaogong shook his head, what he meant, Niu Jinda didn't understand, and immediately said: "Go back and write the fold, Chang'an is probably still waiting for our fold." ”

……

When Li Xiaogong and their twists and turns went straight to Chang'an, he poured river county and Gaochang Palace.

Murong Xiaojun's original happy mood because he had benefited a lot from his trade with Daming was gone.

The reason is very simple, my baby girl actually did the thing of asking the media before the battle!

Originally, this was nothing, but it was good to die, and the object of his daughter's questioning was Li Chengqian.

This made him a little unable to sit still.

Clear-eyed people know that Tuyuhun and the Ming Dynasty will have a battle in the future.

This is unavoidable.

Reconquista is something that any emperor would do.

But now, his daughter has become the princess of the Ming Dynasty, how does this make him deal with himself?

In addition, now that Murong Fuyun is already wary of him, how can he explain it if he comes out like this again?

It doesn't make sense!

"Lord Wang, why bother?" At this moment, the princess walked in and said with a smile when she saw Murong Xiaojun's sad face.

Murong Xiaojun shook his head and said, "The princess doesn't understand, Wanqiu's move is to roast her father on the fire, hey......"

Saying that, Murong Xiaojun shook his head and sighed, his current situation is indeed not good.

The princess smiled and said, "Our princess still doesn't understand?" As she spoke, the princess took out another letter from her sleeve and said, "Here, this is what your daughter brought back, and she must have thought it through since she dared to do this." ”

Murong Xiaojun was stunned when he heard this, and then took the letter.

After reading the letter, Murong Xiaojun smiled and said, "This girl, after all, this king didn't hurt her in vain!" But she was right, and it was time to test it. ”

After speaking, Murong Xiaojun shouted, "Someone is coming." ”

How could Murong Wanqiu, such a smart person, not know how much influence he had on his father by asking the media before the battle? She dared to do this, undoubtedly because she had already thought of a way to break the game.

Of course, it can't just be said to be a breakthrough, Murong Wanqiu's plan can be long.

"What does the prince command?" After a while, a soldier came in.

Murong Xiaojun said: "Order the army to assemble, Chen soldiers at the border, ready to go south at any time, this king will play the Great Khan, please fight!"

Tell everyone that this battle is nothing else, just to welcome back the county lord! Your county lord is being bullied in the Ming Dynasty, so let the Ming Dynasty pay it back with blood! ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, but they still immediately said: "The last general will go to give the order." ”

In Douhe County, Murong Xiaojun has absolute prestige.

After the soldiers left, Murong Xiaojun began to play the battle.

After a while, the county began to be agitated.

All the ministries are gathering, one or two are all angry, without him, their county lord has been bullied!

The armies of the various tribes that were planted by Murong Fuyun also received the news, and they were all stunned for a while.

They also heard about Murong Wanqiu's questioning of the matchmaker before the autumn formation, but this?

For a time, the entire watering river county was surging.

……

Fu Qi City, in the royal tent of Murong Fuyun.

The old guy was chatting with Tuoba Zhao about Murong Wan's question about the matchmaker before the autumn formation.

"I think this King Gaochang has known about this for a long time, and his heart can be punished!" Someone said.

Tuoba Zhao shook his head with a smile and said, "I can't say that, after all, King Gaochang is my minister of Tuyuhun, and he has also made great contributions to Tuyuhun." ”

He didn't have a good heart at that.

Dayan Mangjiebo on the side didn't say a word, but it could be seen from his expression that this guy was angry enough.

As for Murong Fuyun, I listened to everyone below, and there was no squeak.

However, in his heart, he became more and more dissatisfied with Murong Xiaojun.

Ask the media before the battle, what a lot of courage!

If you want to say that Murong Wanqiu does not have the shadow of his Murong Xiaojun in this matter, he will not believe it if he is killed.

People, as long as they start to doubt, even if someone else farts, they can find a motive for him.

Because, that's what people are.

And just then, someone came in and said, "Great Khan, the song of King Gaochang has arrived." ”

"Read." Murong Fuyun nodded.

He also wanted to hear what Murong Xiaojun wanted to say?

Please? Or whatever.

After a bunch of greetings and greetings, ......the style of painting suddenly changed, "Today, the beloved daughter of Weichen was humiliated by the hands of the Chishui source thief, and it was rumored that she asked the media before the battle, insulted her name, and the minister played, please fight!"

You can recover the red water source, reproduce the heavenly power of my Tugu Huhuang Huanghuang, and also calm the grievances in the hearts of the ministers, and return the innocence of the courtiers!

Now, all the soldiers of Dohe County have been assembled, Chen soldiers are at the border, and Weichen is invited to fight! ”

After listening to the man's recitation, Murong Fuyun was stunned.

Others froze.

Only Dayan Mangjiebo said excitedly: "Father Khan, the child please fight!" ”

He saw hope.

But Murong Fuyun still didn't speak, he was a little confused, Murong Xiaojun is this really fake?

"Great Khan, isn't it Murong Xiaojun's ploy?" Tuoba Zhao said.

Murong Fuyun had such thoughts, so he didn't say anything for a long time.

And at that moment, another man came in and said, "Great Khan, messengers have returned from all the soldiers and horses of the tribes in the county of Dohe and are waiting outside. ”

"Tell them to come in." Murong Fuyun immediately said.

In fact, these people were waiting for Tuoba Zhao and others, but it was about Dohe County, so Murong Fuyun directly passed people in.

Not long after, after a few people came in, Murong Fuyun asked directly, "What happened to Dohe County?" ”

"Back to the Great Khan, King Gaochang is crazy!" The messenger hurriedly said, "Before, he was just gathering a large army, and now he is even mobilizing the herdsmen of Douhe County, Datang has already sent several waves of probes to investigate the situation in Douhe County, I heard that Datang is also gathering troops and horses, and the war is about to break out!" ”

"Is King Gaochang really crazy?" Tuoba Zhao said in disbelief.

Mobilize the herdsmen, that is, the whole territory will participate in the war.

Murong Fuyun was also a little incredulous.

"Great Khan, stop King Gaochang immediately, if there is a big war together, the Tang Dynasty will definitely take advantage of the situation." Someone else said, "Now, I can't afford to fight this big war, Khan Da, I can't delay." ”

"What is the situation in the Ming Dynasty?" Murong Fuyun asked again.

The messenger shook his head: "I don't know about this for the time being, but I heard that the Ming Dynasty has just won the battle in the south, and now the Ming King has returned to Sun Moon Mountain." ”

Murong Fuyun had a headache.

"Someone, immediately send an order to King Gaochang and ask him to return to Fu Qi City as soon as possible."
