Chapter 642: Using Li Jingye as bait to lure Tubo into the urn

In the study, Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan, even him, he was full of surprise at the moment: "Li Jingye." ”

Li Xuan smiled bitterly and arched his hand and said: "From the perspective of the younger son-in-law, Li Jingye is a self-righteous person, so happy, selfish and cruel, and quite capable of doing it. ”

Liu Renliang sat on the soft couch and looked at Li Xuan, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Li Jingye is indeed like this, his ancestor Li Qian has been evaluated, so the emperor and the queen of heaven have always pressed it on the position of assassin history, but now Li Xuan said this, although it seems to be the best use of people, but there are always some things that make people feel inappropriate.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Liu Renliang pondered for a while, and then his eyes lit up, but he frowned and said: "The virtuous son-in-law is trying to use the heir of the British Duke as a bait to lure the Tubo War to be deceived. ”

Li Xuan's eyes drooped, and he said softly: "This is the only way, the Tubo cavalry is familiar with the terrain, coming and going like the wind, gathering and scattering invisible, if you can't catch the fish with a bait, then you will never be able to catch that fish." ”

"But if the line is broken, won't the bait be swallowed by the fish?" Liu Renliang couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, Li Jingye, the heir of the British duke, and Li Li's own grandson, was so easily sacrificed as bait.

"Who said there was only one bait?" Li Xuan raised his head, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"It's too much of a sword to go off the rails." After all, Liu Renliang was a veteran on the battlefield, and the discomfort in his heart was quickly suppressed, but he still didn't approve of Li Xuan's methods.

Because of this kind of thing, they have already learned a deep lesson, in the battle of Dafeichuan that year, Xue Rengui rushed to kill in front, Guo Zhifeng escorted grain and grass behind, Xue Rengui captured Wuhai City, but Tubo turned around and broke Guo Zhifeng, all the way to destroy, both roads to destroy.

"Then the only way to go back to the original method, build the city, and encroach." Li Xuan looked at Liu Renliang calmly, and said sincerely: "Yue Weng, Xuan knows that the battle of Tubo has been prepared for a long time, but in Tubo, it is not inferior to the Eastern and Western Turks. ”

"Gao Yingping's method of destroying Nan Chen back then?" Liu Renliang understood the origin of Li Xuan's words and usage.

Li Xuan shook his head lightly and said: "Not only is it Gao Ying's peaceful destruction of Nancheng, from the former Sui to the current Tang Dynasty, how is it not the case that I have suppressed the Turks...... Now the lord of Tubo is seriously ill, this is a fact, even if it is a strong game, but it is difficult to change the fundamentals, the lord of a country is destroyed, the inheritance of the country is a major event, who is up, who retreats, who lives, who dies, if the operation is done properly, the foundation of Tubo will be shaken. ”

"And then divide Tibet in two?" Liu Renliang somewhat understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan didn't care that his thoughts were seen through, he smiled and said sincerely: "Yue Weng, if Dongdao is not the Three Kingdoms, if Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are merged into one country, can our dynasty really destroy them?" ”

Li Xuan asked a rhetorical question, and Liu Renliang froze in place.

The Battle of Baekgang Estuary was the famous battle of Liu Renliang, and the remnants of the Wa Kingdom and Baekje were killed countless times in World War I, and then there was a matter of pacifying Baekje and Goguryeo, and now if it were not for the incident in Tibet, then Silla would have been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.

But if, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla on the eastern island were a country from the beginning, and the strategic depth, climate and terrain were all enemies of the Tang Dynasty.

Without Baekje as a breakthrough and Silla as a helper, the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy Goguryeo, I don't know how many times the price would have to pay, and it was even very likely that Goguryeo would still be alive until now.

"But it's too far away." Liu Renliang's words showed the rarest point of Li Xuan's practice.

The lord of Tubo is indeed seriously ill, and may even have died, but the capital of Tubo is too far away from the Tang Dynasty, and even if he has an idea, it is difficult to have an accurate understanding of the situation in Tubo.

If there is a mistake in this, it will be the price of the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.

After the Turks made peace several times, the Tang Dynasty also had a lot of knowledge of the internal situation of the Turks, but it was ......

One theory of Qinling suppressed all the contradictions in Tubo, and the Tang Dynasty could only sigh.

"Yue Weng, slow and safe, fast and risky, how to choose, this is the matter between you and the prime ministers of the center." Li Xuan raised his eyes, with a hint of caution on his face.

"Slow war, how to slow war, the virtuous son-in-law doesn't know the reason for this, slow war, how can you fight slowly!" Liu Renliang suddenly smiled bitterly, and Li Xuan's expression on the opposite side also dimmed at this moment.

The battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, if the Tang Dynasty defends it, Tubo will not have the slightest chance, but now, what is really urgent is not Tubo, but the Tang Dynasty, the emperor, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty Li Zhi.

The defeat of Dafeichuan was the only major defeat in Emperor Li Zhi's career, and it was a major defeat that has not yet been recovered.

Today, although the emperor is only forty-eight years old, his own wind disease is serious, even if countless famous doctors have been actively diagnosed and treated over the years, and even the medicine king Sun Simiao has been treated for more than ten years, but his physical condition is still deteriorating.

In particular, Emperor Taizong only lived to be fifty years old, and Li Zhi had the same serious wind disease.

Under such circumstances, Li Zhi had already judged his future in his heart, and now starting a war against Tibet was just making up for the biggest regret of his life.

Under such circumstances, how can the battle against Tibet be slow and delayed.

As for the fast fight, to win, you have to take risks, but if you take risks, you can lose.

The Tang Dynasty has been preparing for several years for the battle of Tubo, how can it accept defeat.

Fight quickly, fight steadily, win the war, or against the vast and sparsely populated Tubo......

Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, Tubo, the land of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in later generations, is 5,000 miles away from east to west, 2,000 miles from northeast to south, although there are internal contradictions, but there is a discussion of Qinling's forcible suppression, if you don't provoke civil strife in Tubo, how can you win, and you still have to win quickly.

This is too difficult, Li Xuan can think of the price that needs to be paid in this, and it is impossible for Liu Renliang not to know.

Unless......

A thought suddenly popped up in Li Xuan's heart, and he glanced at Liu Renliang in some surprise, and then immediately extinguished this thought in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan in some surprise.

"Nothing." Li Xuan shook his head, sighed lightly and said: "If this battle is to be stable and to win, this coach must be selected." ”

"The jury is still out." Liu Renliang shook his head, not wanting to talk about this matter, so he changed his mouth and said, "By the way, there are still a few things. ”

"Yue Weng, please speak." Li Xuan was a little surprised, and he didn't know what was more important than the conquest of Tibet.

"Do you remember the incident of Leng's mother and son hanging themselves a few years ago?" Liu Renliang's eyes were fixed on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded calmly and said: "This matter was later confirmed to be Leng Liang greedy for money, and borrowed usury, the last accident led to the destruction of the family, the son-in-law has notified Jin Wuwei to strictly investigate the matter of usury in Chang'an City, but there are those who exceed the limit, all will be arrested, and the right street envoy will be tried." ”

Tang law, official loans shall not exceed five interest, private loans shall not exceed four interest, violators, fined ten times the principal, forty rods.

"Not that." Liu Renliang waved his hand and said: "Behind the matter of forcing the Leng family's mother and son to hang themselves, someone is manipulating. ”

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "The son-in-law also had a guess about this matter, but the son-in-law returned to Chang'an for the first time, and he was not familiar with it inside and out, so he couldn't guess who it was?" ”

"Now it's not a matter of guessing or not guessing, it's the man who put usury on the spot, who was found dead at home today, hanged himself." Liu Renliang's words, not only Li Xuan was shocked, but even Liu Yuanlang, who was standing in the corner and had not spoken, was shocked.

Li Xuan stood up directly and looked at Liu Renliang with a shocked face: "Yue Weng, how did Chang'an County investigate?" Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, have they intervened? ”

"Hanging yourself is the conclusion of Dali Temple." Liu Renliang looked indifferent and picked up the hot tea on the table.

Li Xuan raised her eyebrows, sat down slowly, lowered her head and said: "I see, Dali Temple is warning the people behind the scenes, didn't Dali Temple find evidence in that person's house, nor did it ask for news in that person's mouth...... Hang yourself, that man killed himself, right? ”

"The virtuous son-in-law is indeed a smart man." Liu Renliang put down the teacup, smiled, and then said: "The arrest of the Criminal Department, after the first day of junior high school, directly gave way to the door and asked others to ask the person behind him, but as soon as the person saw someone from the Criminal Department, he committed suicide with a knife. ”

"It's amazing!" Li Xuan gasped.

"However, the person who let us usury, as soon as he saw that the criminal department was arresting him quickly, he committed suicide with a knife, and he must have been prepared for this matter." Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan with a smile and asked, "The virtuous son-in-law also has a lot of eyeliner in the city, why, he doesn't know anything about this matter?" ”

Li Xuan shook his head very calmly and said: "Although there are still some old relationships in Peng Wangfu, everyone also has to celebrate the New Year, and even Jin Wuwei has not received any news about this matter, let alone others. ”

"I see." Liu Renliang understood, turned his head and asked, "Someone can let the person who lent the money kill himself directly, who does the virtuous son-in-law think it will be?" ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and after a little thought, he said: "First of all, his person must be expected to be in phase, maybe not necessarily now, or maybe in the future, after all, many people are used to attacking in advance and strangling their opponents...... Chang'an family, there are many loan deeds in the family, and the two things are connected, I am afraid that there are people in a hurry, and the son-in-law can guess that this is the case? ”

When Li Xuan said this, there was a hint of helplessness on his face, and this was what he could guess about this matter.

He only knows one or two things about the political situation in the DPRK and China, and he can't figure out the deeper connections between the inside and the middle, after all, he has just set foot in the center.

"That's enough, and the rest will be investigated by the Criminal Department." Liu Renliang sighed lightly and said: "The Criminal Department is not only investigating this matter, Xue Zhang was killed, Wen Xu escaped, and the Criminal Department has a lot of responsibilities. ”

"Wen Xu hasn't found it yet?" Li Xuan looked at Liu Renliang with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Nope." Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan and asked, "What did the virtuous son-in-law think of?" ”

Li Xuan hesitated slightly, but still solemnly arched his hand: "Yue Weng, with his son-in-law's understanding of the King of the East China Sea, if he does it, I'm afraid he won't even leave Wen Xu alive, if Wen Xu is dead, then naturally there is no way to find out, if Wen Xu is not dead, then what is the purpose of the King of the East China Sea, no, he is waiting for others to follow Wen Xu's traces all the way to find his lair, right?" ”

"There is no body of Wen Xu at the bottom of the Wei River or on both sides of the vicinity, unless he can fly up in the daytime, he will always be found." Liu Renliang shook his head, and then said: "Virtuous son-in-law, you still need to worry more about the matter of the King of the East China Sea, after all, this matter is related to the stability of the clan and the court. ”

"Whoa!" Li Xuan surrendered.

……

Looking at Li Xuan's back walking towards the front yard, Liu Renliang's expression calmed down, and he beckoned to his son Liu Yuanlang.

"Father!" Liu Yuanlang immediately walked over and stood with his hands over.

"Do you know what my father and Twenty-Seven Lang talked about today?" Liu Renliang's eyes were extremely bright, as if he wanted to see through Liu Yuanlang's thoughts at a glance.

Liu Yuanlang immediately surrendered his hand and said: "It was the negotiation between Silla and the Wa Kingdom, the battle with Tubo, as well as the case of the mother and son of the Leng family, and the bloody case of the Wei River. ”

"Is that all?" Liu Renliang looked at Liu Yuanlang with some disappointment.

Liu Yuanlang was slightly stunned, he didn't understand what Liu Renliang meant.

"Silla, the matter of the Wa Kingdom and Tubo, do you think that the twenty-seven Lang can figure it out, but the father and the rulers can't think of it?" Liu Renliang looked in the direction of the front yard again, and said softly: "There are also those two cases, the father is actually asking Twenty-Seven Lang, did he do those two things?" ”

"Ahh Liu Yuanlang was dumbfounded.

Liu Renliang shook his head again and said: "He said that in the case of the mother and son of the Leng family, his people did not move, and in the Weihe bloody case, he suspected that it was the hands of the people in the palace. ”
