Chapter 208: I, Li Ke, His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, give money

Li Jing was a little hesitant, there was still one person in his hand, Murong Fuyun's eldest son Murong Shun, who had lived in the Central Plains for a long time and had a good impression of the Central Plains, so after the conflict between the Tang Dynasty and Tuyuhun, Murong Shun not only did not run, but surrendered to Li Jing as soon as possible.

According to Zhenguan's original plan to send troops in the eighth year, if Tuyuhun is defeated, the best way must be like the current Eastern Turks, choose a person who is friendly to the Tang Dynasty, support the original nobles of Tuyuhun, and Li Shimin canonized as the new Khan of Tuyuhun, and then garrison the Tang Dynasty, so as to achieve the goal of the Tang Dynasty controlling Tuyuhun.

But then the king of Shu ...... Oh, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has put forward a series of policies that can allow the perfect garrison of the Tang Dynasty to control the entire Tuyuhun, so at this time, it is natural to directly expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty, of course Li Jing has no opinion, as a general, it is to expand the territory.

And Li Ke's previous envoys also brought a new holy decree to Li Jing, as long as Li Ke is not very out of line, Li Jing has full authority to obey Li Ke's orders, and Li Ke has the right to transfer troops.

As for what is very outrageous, this is up to Li Jing to decide.

In fact, this kind of decision is very difficult, but in this era, it is impossible to keep in touch with Chang'an all the time, and it is already the limit to send a group of messengers in a few days, and it is impossible to use eight hundred miles to expedit, so the fastest speed is about five days to arrive in Chang'an, which requires each post station to constantly change the messengers and horses.

It's just not like an overnight rush of 800 miles.

Murong Shun was originally the candidate for the next khan of Tuyuhun, but Li Ke is doing this now...... Li Jing was also a little speechless, he couldn't understand what Li Ke was going to do.

"Your Highness, why don't you communicate with the minister? Otherwise, I don't have a bottom in my heart. Li Jing smiled a little bitterly, he actually had very little communication with Li Ke, and he didn't know much about Li Ke, and he was fighting here, he didn't know what happened in Chang'an City, and his impression of Li Ke was still before.

What Li Ke said just now, of course he knew that Li Ke was joking, because although Li Ke was a little reckless, he was not that kind of character at all.

Li Ke glanced at Li Jing, he thought about it, and Li Jing really had to have a good exchange, after all, Li Jing is the general of the expedition to Tuguhun and the supreme commander, although it is said that it is temporarily controlled by the Xizhou Protectorate, but this moderation is only moderation, and Li Jing must have the right to speak.

When Li Ke came over, he brought a holy decree to Li Jing, but Li Ke didn't read it himself, the holy decree was sealed, and Li Jing could read it himself.

Who knows what Li Shimin said to Li Jing inside.

"Dai Guogong." Li Ke thought for a while, and then said, "To put it mildly, our Tang Dynasty has the potential of all countries to come to court, and my father is even called the Heavenly Khan." ”

Li Jing: "??? "That's just a bad thing.

"But in my opinion, this is Kaizi." Li Ke said.

"Huh?" Li Jing was a little confused, obviously he couldn't understand the word Kaizi.

"A dialect of our Datang Dynasty, which means that there is money, but it is in vain to spend money, which is actually the meaning of a fool in the eyes of others." Li Ke roughly explained, he really didn't think of a suitable ancient word to describe this.

"What do you mean by this?" Li Jing didn't quite understand, in fact, although Li Jing was a general, most of these generals in the Tang Dynasty were both civil and military, including Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde, all of whom were both civil and military.

And Li Jing's military general component actually doesn't feel so strong, and many of his behaviors are more like some civil servants, at least his thinking is the same as that of most ancients, such as ...... The idea of the Celestial Empire.

"There are only interests between countries, and nothing else, am I right?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"Yes." Li Jing nodded, this is the truth.

"In that case, why are so many small countries actually here to reward me with the opportunity to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty? For example, they gave my father a gift worth a lot of money, but my father felt that as a heavenly kingdom, he would be happy and return 10 yuan in return, what is this not Kaizi? There are many small countries around that have no ambitions, and this is the happiest time of the year. Li Ke said.

Li Jing choked...... He couldn't refute this, in fact, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, of course he had to be more atmospheric as the suzerain? You can't be stingy, right?

In fact, the problem that Li Ke said is not only the Tang Dynasty, it may be that most of China's 5,000-year-long history has been too strong, so all dynasties have this problem.

Many small countries live on this, can you believe it? This is not an exaggeration, considering that some small countries may have a total population of five or six thousand.

"So what do you mean, Your Highness?" Li Jing didn't refute, mainly because he felt that as the suzerain, it seemed right to do this, but what Li Ke said was ...... Seems right? What kind of friendship is there between countries? Isn't it all about interests?

Take Tuyuhun that they just cleaned up as an example, Tuyuhun was still a minister to the Tang Dynasty before, how did he become a minister? I want to ask you for something, but you don't give it, if you don't give it to me, I will loot it, and force you to give it to me, this is called a minister?

It is also a miracle that Li Shimin can endure it today, the point is this kind of thing, first there are Eastern Turks, and then there is Tuyuhun, these two are not enough to make an example of chickens and monkeys, if Li Ke remembers correctly, Gaochang still wants to play like this later.

All I can say is...... Outrageous, reality is much more outrageous than fiction, you have to pay attention to logic to write a novel, and reality is not logical.

"I, Li Ke, His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, have a knife in their hands, and they are angry, either they will fight for money or be beaten." Li Ke repeated.

Get...... Li Jing understood what Li Ke meant, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, no one dares to touch the tiger's whiskers at this time, so no matter how Li Ke plays, these small countries around him can only follow Li Ke's ideas.

"To weaken the enemy is to strengthen yourself!" Li Ke added, "So, Dai Guogong, you still have to cooperate with me in this matter." ”

Li Jing thought about it, there is nothing wrong, of course he wants to see the Tang Dynasty strong, and since Li Shimin is relieved to let Li Ke come, then in Li Shimin's heart, Li Ke is the most suitable, Li Jing also knows Li Shimin very well, and he will never simply send Li Ke to such an important position because he likes it or other emotional reasons.

"No problem, where the cooperation of the old minister is required, His Highness said bluntly." Li Jing nodded and agreed very simply, "But there is another person here in Lao Chen, it is Murong Shun, the eldest son of Murong Fuyun, who surrendered." ”

Li Jing told Li Ke about Murong Shun and the original way of dealing with Murong Shun.

"I don't think it's difficult to understand, the simplest, Dai Guogong, do you think he really admires my Tang Dynasty, or is it the same as the Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms period, each family bets?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

Li Jing paused, "This...... The old minister didn't dare to guarantee it. "Thinking about it carefully, what His Royal Highness King Qin said is not unreasonable.

"Then let's go see Murong Shun first." Li Ke smiled and said, but after finishing speaking, Li Ke paused again and said, "Forget it, let's wait." ”

Now that I have just arrived, if I am in such a hurry to see him, some of them don't quite fit my own personality, who is not an actor anymore?

Li Jing was a little puzzled, but he didn't refute it.

"Wait a day, my business bank has already started to deliver the first batch of supplies, and the follow-up supplies will continue to be delivered directly, and when they come, the things I need will arrive." Li Ke said.

"Understood." Li Jing didn't say anything, Li Ke had already communicated with them in these aspects.

"There's a problem, though." Li Jing said helplessly.

"Huh?" Li Ke looked at Li Jing with some doubts.

"Your Highness, you asked the envoys to go to these two countries, and in order to achieve the effect you requested, I don't have the right people under my command. I'm a military general, and the ministers in the court can meet your requirements. Li Jing said a little speechlessly, Li Ke's request seems simple, but it is almost impossible for you to make these big bosses achieve that effect.

Li Ke: "......"
