Volume 5 Chapter 560 The black-bellied Li Chengqian
When Li Chengqian received the news, he was not surprised at all.
In the final analysis, in their eyes, this Subi rebel army is just a clown.
can let them stumble for so long, it is still Da Ming's need for his own reasons, otherwise, these guys would have been easily taken down by Dabuqu.
This is not nonsense, if it had been done three years ago, Dabuqu would have won more easily, after all, the victory of these three years has indeed allowed this Suvi rebel army to cultivate rare confidence.
"Let's start the army, today, the army is encamped in Zhennanfu." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Now that the Ming army has been stationed in Subi, the next thing is much simpler.
When Xue Rengui heard this, he immediately gathered a large army and went straight to Zhennan Mansion.
It was not far away, but in the afternoon, the army arrived at Zhennan Mansion.
On the side of Zhennan Mansion, because Qibi Shamen had already taken people to the front line, the people who stayed to receive Li Chengqian were the henchmen of Qibi Shamen.
At the beginning, this henchman was still a little apprehensive, after all, His Royal Highness was in person, and the general was not there, and he was still worried about what Li Chengqian had in mind, but Li Chengqian waved his hand, and by the way, he also praised Qibi Shamen a few words, which made the henchman puzzled.
Shouldn't it be anger after being slighted?
Why did you praise it?
Of course, he couldn't figure out Li Chengqian's pulse, and after settling down Li Chengqian and his party, he didn't dangle in front of Li Chengqian much.
At this time, the Changming Army was in the temporary Chinese army tent.
Li Chengqian gathered everyone together and said: "Now, even if the Subi rebels have not been ambushed, they are no longer in the climate, and the next is the most critical time.
What do you think? β
"Your Highness, what's the reaction from King Subi?" Xue Rengui asked, "In today's battle, it is impossible for King Subi not to receive the news. β
Li Chengqian nodded, and then looked at Ma Ye.
Ma Yedang said: "Just after the defeat of the Subi rebels, the king of Subi has personally led an army of 10,000 people to move north, and at this time, he has reached this position. β
As he spoke, he pointed out on the map that it happened to be the junction of the places occupied by the Subi rebels.
"Then who is presiding over the war between them and Tibet?" Xue Rengui asked.
"It is interesting to say that soon after the Suvi rebels broke the dam, the Tibetan Lun Keer led the army back thirty miles.
The big war between the two sides has also stopped.
Now the two sides are just facing each other and are not going on.
Moreover, the Tibetan Shangsang and his army are showing signs of moving northward, and according to their current marching trajectory, it is estimated that they are also trying to join Lunkel. β
"Good guy, they have a tacit understanding." When Cheng Chuliang heard this, he also smiled and said, "Your Highness, are we going to take advantage of the situation to take Subi?"
As long as Subi is taken, Tubo will be difficult to support alone. β
Clear-eyed people can see that Tubo and Subi are guarding against the Ming Dynasty.
When Da Ming didn't come, they were mortal enemies, but once Da Ming entered, they became friends again.
is still the same sentence, this land, either surnamed Su or Tu, but it just can't be surnamed Ming.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "You can't be in a hurry, we have exterminated the Subi rebels this time, and it is reasonable that they are worried that my Ming will continue to go south."
Between countries, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Moreover, now we are going to war with Subi and Tubo, which still has some impact on us, at least our soldiers have not yet adapted to the climate of the plateau.
At this point, it is extremely disadvantageous for us. β
This is also the reason why Li Chengqian asked Dabuqu to lead the army to be stationed in Subi in the first place, because only in this way did the Ming Dynasty have an army that adapted to the plateau climate.
Don't look at it as just a climate issue, at a critical time, it can really kill people.
"So what do we do now?" Li Jingren asked.
Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "Ma Ye, you send someone to inform the king of Subi that this king wants to make an alliance with him in the place where the rebels are in Subi, and the time is set at noon the day after tomorrow.
At the same time, the news of the death of the Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty must be spread clearly, especially the matter of the Tang Emperor recruiting the king to return to Beijing for funeral.
Let King Subi know what is going on with him now.
Otherwise, he really thinks that this king is here to wave his troops south, and he is afraid that he will join forces with Tubo, and it will not be the result that this king wants to see. β
When the horse industry heard this, he immediately bowed down to receive the order.
As soon as Ma Ye left, Cheng Chuliang hesitated: "In this case, is His Highness's situation a little dangerous?" After all, it's in the realm of Subi, who knows if they have any backs?
Why don't you change the location of the alliance to Zhennan Mansion? β
"Change to Zhennan Mansion?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "How long do you think the news of my army going south can be hidden?" At this time, maybe King Subi has learned of the situation, and he dares to come in Zhennan Mansion?
However, he didn't dare to come to Zhennan Mansion, but the king dared to go to the territory of the Subi rebels!
Besides, under the tens of thousands of troops, can he still dare to assassinate this king?
Don't say it's him Subi, even if he Subi joins forces with Tubo, I'm afraid of it?
The reason why this is so is only because this king is unwilling to sacrifice too many of my Ming soldiers.
If you want to fight hard, it's not impossible! β
Cheng Chuliang and the others also nodded when they heard this.
That's true.
With the strength of the Ming Dynasty now, it is hard to shake Subi and Tubo together, and they also have the power to fight.
It's just that if you do this, your own strength will also be damaged.
But now that he has just had some unpleasant trouble with Datang, Li Chengqian has to make more preparations.
"But can Subi pull it over?" Xue Rengui asked, "My Da Ming just defeated the Su Bi rebels, Su Bi and Tubo immediately reacted, this is obviously guarding us, in this case, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to unite Su Bi to deal with Tubo."
After all, the truth of cold lips and teeth, presumably King Subi also understands. β
"Do your best and let it be the fate of heaven." Li Chengqian also shook his head.
He doesn't really have much certainty, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have ideas.
It's just that before all the dust settles, he doesn't dare to boast about Haikou easily.
"By the way, General Xue, the Changming army must also be prepared for the worst, if this meeting is not smooth, then next, we will have to fight a tough battle."
To tell the truth, Li Chengqian was unwilling to fight a tough battle at this time, not because he couldn't fight, but mainly because the Ming Dynasty still had a strong enemy on his side.
He didn't go back to Chang'an this time, God knows what kind of attitude Chang'an has over there?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
And when the people of the horse industry came to the camp of Subi, the king of Subi was also stunned when he heard this.
"Alliance? This time will be allied? Or on the borders of Subi! "King Subi really didn't expect it.
"Yes, I have something unspeakable to go south this time, and I will ask His Highness to come in person at that time, and my king will definitely give His Highness a satisfactory answer." Said the commander of the horse industry.
Of course, this is also specially taught.
Otherwise, they would never be able to say such a crepe thing.
King Subi hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but he didn't rush to reply, but asked his subordinates to take people down for a while, and then said to the henchmen in the camp: "What do you think Da Ming means by this?" β
"Your Highness, could this be related to the death of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?" The henchman immediately said.
The news of Li Yuan's death naturally reached them, after all, it was such a big deal.
To this end, Subi also sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty died?" King Subi muttered.
"Yes." The henchman continued, "Recently, Weichen heard that the Tang Emperor announced that all the kings and relatives of the world returned to Chang'an to mourn the Emperor Taishang, is this King Ming unwilling to go back......"
"What's he not wanting to go back to?" When King Subi heard this, he snorted coldly, "Today's Tang Dynasty, who can shake his position as the crown prince?"
With his current status, he can be said to be the most powerful prince in history, what is he worried about? β
"That's what I said." Someone said, "But now that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, he really wants to see such a strong prince?" β
"Wait......" King Subi waved his hand and said, "Leave this alone, after all, we don't know the specific situation, and the question now is, this alliance, should we go or not?"
If you go, will this Ming King have any conspiracy?
If you don't go, doesn't it seem that I'm a little cowardly again?
After all, even the place where they met was placed on the boundary of my Subi. β
He didn't want to analyze the contradiction between Li Er's father and son, he wasn't the party to this thing, he knew a fart.
At this, the crowd was silent.
In fact, they all know what the reason why Daming is willing to support Subi all these years is why, but now that the Ming army is heading south, they have to ask them if they are panicking, hehe, it's strange if they don't panic.
They have the strength to confront Tubo, but over the years, after learning the benefits of the Ming Dynasty's armaments, their fear of the Ming Dynasty has become deeper and deeper.
"Your Highness, Weichen thinks he can go." After a while, someone said, "If you talk about military strength alone, I, Su Biji, am not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, and this is not the popularity of the micro ministers and others, and destroy their own prestige."
This is an objective fact.
Don't look at it now, we have arrived here, but if Da Ming really wants to wave his troops south, we can't stop it.
Although Tibet and we have a tacit understanding in this regard, it is someone else's power after all, and it is too ethereal.
It's better to take the opportunity to find out what Da Ming's intentions are. β
"But isn't that a bit risky?" Someone immediately retorted.
When the man heard this, he sneered: "When you asked Your Highness to lead the troops north, you didn't take risks?" Now tell the old man about the adventure? β
He was opposed to King Subi personally leading his troops north, after all, before he figured out the intentions of the Ming Dynasty, he would send people to the north, and the Ming Dynasty really wanted to wave his troops south, would they be able to stop the 10,000 horses or what?
At this, the crowd fell silent.
After a while, it was the king of Subi who made a final decision and said, "Go!" Since it is a Huimeng, presumably he Li Chengqian will not do anything out of the ordinary, after all, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the etiquette of the Han family still has to be taught.
Does he dare to kill this king when he meets the alliance?
This king just took a look at what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. β
It's all here, and the risks have been taken, so how can he back down now?
Moreover, throughout history, when the two countries were aligned, there were still a few who turned their faces on the spot.
Besides, he is also a face-saving person.
If Li Chengqian set the place of the alliance in Daming, he would not go if he didn't go, but the place of the alliance was the boundary of his Subi, and he didn't dare to go, and if it was spread out, where would the face of King Subi go?
At that moment, he discussed the specific details with everyone.
β¦β¦
Two days, in a blink of an eye.
Li Chengqian also came to the territory of the Subi rebels early.
In the past two days, Li Chengqian has not been idle, while letting people prepare for the affairs of the alliance, he is also appeasing the people of Subi.
As for the disposition of the rebels, he did not interfere too much.
Again, it is better to let Dabuqu's subordinates sprinkle this evil fire on the enemy than on their own people.
After three years of suppression, if they are not allowed to vent their anger, they will become a scourge in the future.
Of course, Li Chengqian's move also made Da Buqu's subordinates very useful, they were holding back the fire in their bellies, and they were worried that Li Chengqian would give preferential treatment to the captives as soon as he gave the order, but as a result, Li Chengqian didn't let out a single fart, but just gathered everyone together and chatted together.
This made everyone's favor of Li Chengqian double, to be honest, at that moment, they were moved.
As an ordinary soldier, Wang Neng personally shush the cold and ask for warmth, which can be blown for a lifetime.
On this day, at the foot of a big mountain, Li Chengqian and King Subi arrived at the site of the alliance almost at the same time.
After completing the basic etiquette, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but King Subi still has the same demeanor." β
He didn't know how to start this, so he casually complimented him.
As the old saying goes, a thousand clothes are worn, but only sycophants are not worn.
King Ming laughed. King Subi smiled when he heard this, "In the past few years, my ears have been full of Ming, but I, Subi, can't even take down a little Tubo, and I still have to be relieved by King Ming, shame." β
As soon as he heard King Subi's words, Li Chengqian immediately understood, this guy began to be tempted, and immediately said apologetically: "Speaking of which, this rash trip south is to ask King Subi to take care of it, and this king has also reached the point where he can't do anything, so he ......." β
"Huh?" King Subi was stunned when he heard this, and said, "How can I say this, the Ming Dynasty has been in full swing in the past few years, why can't I do it?" β
"Isn't it King Subi who doesn't know yet?" Li Chengqian said with a look of surprise, "Some time ago, the Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty died, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty announced that all the kings and relatives of the world returned to Beijing to mourn.
King Subi also knows that after all, this king is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and his grandson and grandson, how can he shirk it?
But this king really doesn't dare to go back! β
"Is there anything in this world that King Ming wouldn't dare?" King Subi said, pretending to be surprised.
Shaking his head, Li Chengqian said helplessly: "Don't dare much, you and I are both kings, you should be the most able to understand the helplessness of each other, right?" β
At this point, King Subi was silent.
On the contrary, although they are above tens of millions of people in their respective countries and have supreme rights, they really can't do whatever they want.
The more they get to this point, the more cautious they have to be.
"King Subi should understand, the position of the prince is easy to sit on and not easy to sit." Li Chengqian said helplessly, "It's good to sit, that's because it represents the supreme right, it's not easy to sit, it's because there are countless pairs of eyes staring."
This king has been made a crown prince since he was a child, but what the days were like in those years, only this king himself knows best.
I wonder why this king left Beijing in embarrassment? β
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian laughed miserably and said, "Isn't it because this king is the prince of the Tang Dynasty?" How many people in Datang make wine privately?
Why can't you go to this king?
The point is, at that time, this king was not for the sake of tongue!
Countless people's accusations are not because this king is the crown prince! It is because of the identity of the crown prince that whatever the king does, he will be infinitely magnified.
Even if the king eats and sits in a bad posture, he will ......"
After listening to Li Chengqian's complaints, King Subi also nodded secretly, although he was not as exaggerated as Li Chengqian in Subi at the beginning, he was not far behind.
For their identity, sometimes, they are really not as good as an ordinary person.
Of course, ordinary people dream of being them.
Man, that's it.
It's just the difference between inside and outside.
The people inside the door want to go out, and the people outside the door want to come in.
After a long time, King Subi said: "But what does this have to do with whether King Ming can return to Chang'an?" So far, who else dares to accuse King Ming? β
"Accusations?" Li Chengqian burst into laughter, "King Subi still doesn't understand, you may have forgotten, forgotten how this king's father ascended the throne."
Do you think the stronger the king, the safer it is?
Hehe, if he can, this king really hopes that the Ming Dynasty will only have the palm-sized place of Sun Moon Mountain.
In this way, the king can still return to Chang'an.
Now, if this king returns to Chang'an, do you really think that this king can still come out?
Don't forget, this father is only in his early forties now!
What he needs has never been a strong prince, all he needs is an obedient prince.
If this king goes back, the captivity may be the best way out.
The worst, this king doesn't dare to think about it......
If not, don't you think the reason why this king would wave his army south is just to find an excuse not to go back? β
When King Subi heard this, he was shocked.
How dare you say it!
Suddenly, he was stunned.
Wrong!
Why did Li Chengqian say this to this king?
Isn't he afraid that this king will spread the news?
If this news spreads, it will definitely set off an earth-shattering wave.
And Li Chengqian looked at King Subi's reaction, but he was not in a hurry to speak, although what he said just now was exaggerated, but it was not a casual nonsense.
"Isn't King Ming too alarmist?" King Subi asked.
Li Chengqian sneered: "Alarmist? King Subi can know that the Tang Dynasty Chang'an Mansion Yin has always been the East Palace, even if the king is not in Chang'an, Chang'an Mansion is also presided over by Shaoyin.
But now, Chang'an Mansion Yin has become Li Ke, the king of Shu!
Isn't that a clear sign?
Moreover, after the death of the previous emperors, where is there a precedent for summoning the kings and clan relatives back to Beijing? In the past, when the first emperor died, the kings dared to make a move, and it was all a rebellion!
Do you think that this will of the king and the father is given to the kings?
You, you are so naΓ―ve, if it weren't for that, how could this king have waved his troops south at this juncture, and gave Dabu a death order to take down the Subi rebels at all costs.
Hey, if there is no big war dragged on, this king may be ......"
The more the king of Subi listened, the more frightened he became.
The battle for the throne of the Tang Dynasty has reached this point?
He'd heard of some, but he hadn't really looked at them closely.
However, Li Chengqian must not lie about these things, after all, if he sends someone to investigate a little, it will be clear.
Now the question is, why did Li Chengqian say this, so that he was not afraid to pass it on to him?
Thinking of this, King Subi was suddenly shocked! looked at Li Chengqian, and said in his heart, I grass, you won't be able to, right?
