Chapter 54 Foreign Affairs Strategy, Caution

"Your Highness is wise. Cai Xiang said seriously, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, especially when it comes to the foreign affairs of the two countries, and you can't be careless." Sometimes because of a sentence or an action, it will trigger a war between the monks of the two countries. ”

"If the Han Dynasty deliberately provokes our Tang Dynasty and insults our Son of Heaven, do we have to endure it?" Shangguan Yun said coldly, "Lord Cai, don't forget, our Tang Dynasty is not a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, but has the dignity of an independent country, and I, Shangguan Yun, will never allow them to trample on His Majesty's authority." ”

Cai Xiang said: "Is this the authority of Your Majesty to provoke a war between the monks of the two countries on a momentary basis?

"Lord Cai, your thoughts are very dangerous, this is contempt for Your Majesty's authority. Shangguan Yun said sharply, "I am the head of the Iron Armor Guard, and I have the right to cut first and then play." If you defy Your Majesty's authority again, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"Tens of millions of people died unjustly under your ironclad guard's sword? Cai Xiang was stubborn and stubborn, and did not give in to Shangguan Yun, snorted coldly, and sneered, "What's more, Cai is not a weak scholar, if you really want to do it, I'm afraid that General Shangguan won't be able to get much benefit." ”

"Really? I'm going to try. Shangguan Yun's eyes were cold, and the murderous aura on his body suddenly appeared.

"Move a knife and a gun in front of me, you are so bold!" As soon as Li Leng's voice fell, his momentum was suddenly released, his cold eyes were as sharp as knives, he looked at the three of them coldly, and said, "I think who dares to do it?!"

The three of them were intimidated by Li Leng's momentum, but they all restrained a lot.

Cai Xiang bowed and saluted, and said, "It's the subordinates who are reckless, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”

Shangguan Yun snorted coldly and didn't speak, but his face was obviously much softened.

Li Leng said: "The envoy to the Han Dynasty is extremely dangerous, and it is even more necessary for us to abandon suspicion and unite sincerely. Do you want to die in a foreign country? In the future, when I see anyone else doing things like fighting in the nest and saying centrifugal words, don't blame me Li Leng turned his face and was ruthless. I don't care who he is or who he represents, if he joins the emissary corps, he must obey my orders, even if His Majesty is there in person. Did you hear that?"

"Yes, we will obey His Highness's orders. Shen Hao and Cai Xiang said at the same time.

Li Leng looked at Shangguan Yun coldly, and after a half-sound, Shangguan Yun said angrily, "Got it." ”

"Then you all go back and rest!" Li Leng waved his hand, asked Zhou Wen to put away the tea set, and motioned for Shen Hao, Cai Xiang, and Shangguan Yun to leave.

After the three of them left, Zhou Wen said angrily: "Master, they don't obey you, do you want me to teach them a lesson?"

Li Leng couldn't help but smile and said: "They are all masters of the illustrious side, such as that Shen Hao, but the master of the Mo family school, the peak cultivation of the Jindan Realm, is good at arranging formations to kill enemies." Another example is that Cai Xiang, who is a lay master of the Buddhist school, and is also the peak cultivation of the Jindan Realm. They are all stronger in cultivation and strength than you, I don't know how much, how can you teach them?"

Zhou Wen was unconvinced: "I can't beat them, but I have to teach them a lesson, who told them to insult the master." ”

"Okay, don't play with the child's temper, go back to your room to rest!" Li Leng saw that Zhou Wen didn't move, and said a little angrily, "Since you want to follow me, then you must listen to me, otherwise, I will send someone to send you back to Chang'an City." ”

"Okay, okay, I know, I'll go back to my room and rest right away. Zhou Wen reluctantly left Li Leng's room.

In the room, Li Leng was left alone.

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes lazily watching the white clouds drift past him. Because of the protection of the Yuan Force Defense Formation, no matter how fast the giant boat was, the ship was still stable and calm, and even the cold wind couldn't blow in.

Sending the Han is a dangerous move for him, and it is also a wonderful move. Once he succeeded in brokering an alliance between the Han and Tang dynasties, he would not only restore his title, but also build his own system of power.

Although Shen Hao and Cai Xiang are marginalized people, one is a master of Confucianism and the other is a lay master of Buddhism, and they have great influence and appeal in their respective schools.

Li Leng sent someone to check the details of the two of them, and also analyzed the temperament and conduct of the two, which was exactly the talent he needed.

Therefore, Li Leng deliberately said: How can personal life and death be compared to the honor and disgrace of the country.

He concluded that this sentence would bring him closer to them at once.

Because Shen Hao and Cai Xiang are both loyal to the country, they can achieve no king in their hearts, but they can't have no world and no people in their hearts.

Those who cultivate immortals pay attention to cause and effect, and the people of the world are the greatest cause and effect. In order to restrain monks from killing innocents indiscriminately and doing evil at will, heaven and earth have included the people of the world in the cause and effect of monks.

With benevolence in his heart and refraining from killing innocents, a monk can break out of the cycle of cause and effect and avoid entering the six realms of samsara.

If they are brutal and unkind, and slaughter the people arbitrarily, the monk will be unable to determine the cause and effect, and will fall into the demonic path, and the three souls and six spirits will never be reborn.

This cause and effect must be followed even by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, let alone a monk?

For Li Leng, it is not difficult to have the world in mind and love all sentient beings, but the difficult thing is how to survive and master more power and more cultivation resources.

For three thousand years, heaven and earth have already undergone great changes, even if he used to be the ruler of heaven and earth, at this moment, it is difficult to adapt to this great change for a while, and he can't get out of the cycle of cause and effect and the six reincarnations.

Two days later, the Canghai giant ship flew to the sky over the northern frontier, which is the intersection of the territory of the Qin, Han, Tang and Yuanrong tribes, to the northwest is the wild land of the Western Regions, and it is also the range of activities of the Yuanrong iron cavalry, and to the north is the territory of the first powerful Qin Empire, and the northeast is the territory of the Han Empire.

The territory of the Tang Empire and the Great Qin Empire are not large, and they are only three cities, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as heavy troops are sent to guard it, they can block the offensive of Great Qin's strong troops.

However, the territory where it intersected with the Yuanrong and the Han Empire was vast and immense, and the three powerful enemies were intertwined and stalemate with each other in the northern frontier.

There are two reasons why Li Leng strongly advocated an alliance with the Great Han instead of the Great Qin? There are two reasons.

First, the army of the Great Qin Tiger and Wolf is ambitious and has a tendency to dominate the world. The alliance between Datang and Daqin is undoubtedly a tiger skin. Once the two countries conclude an alliance treaty, according to the regulations, Datang must let go of the defense of the three cities in the northern Xinjiang region, which will undoubtedly lead the wolf into the house and bring disaster to Datang.
