Section 115 Ten years of strategy
After listening to Wei Tunan's words, Han Bushou had some doubts in his heart, "It is indeed rumored that the old Yufeilong has a child on the rivers and lakes, but I heard that the child should be in the inner courtyard of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, why did he suddenly become a Khitan princess?"
Wei Tunan said: "Han Gongzi doesn't know that the Hongchen companion of the Jade Feilong predecessor is a strange woman from the Khitan Dubo Department. The two of them gave birth to a daughter, so they also have Hu blood.
Wei also only learned in recent years, eleven years ago, when the Tang court was still prestigious, and now this young daughter named Princess Liu Ge was treated as a clan woman by the Tang family and sent to Khitan in the name of harmony. The sticky pearl Khan thought that this woman was too young, and he didn't dare to offend the Tang court, so on the grounds that the girl had Khitan blood, he made her a Khitan princess and gave her the name of 'Brother Liu'.
"You can think about it, this willow tree is the thing of the southerners, where is there a willow tree on the grassland. The Sticky Khan gave the name to this woman as 'Brother Liu', presumably she must have come from the Central Plains. ”
Han Bushou asked, "Having said that, this matter has nothing to do with Your Excellency. How could Your Excellency care so much about Princess Brother Liu?"
Wei Tunan sighed, as if he was thinking about the past, "I can't hide it, Yu Feilong's old man has the grace of reinvention to me, Wei Tunan! Back then, I was just a fool who deceived my teacher and destroyed my ancestors, selfish, and wolf-hearted. Once, because of an old feud, I waited for an opportunity to poison Feng Yihong, the head of Longhu Mountain. When I was besieged by the people of Longhu Mountain, it was the old man of Yufeilong who saved me. He said that I would not sin unto death, and he led me to the right path with all his heart.
"His old man once mentioned to me by chance that the biggest regret in his life was that he did not find his biological daughter. I kept this sentence firmly in my heart, and I have visited the Khitan grassland several times over the years to inquire about the whereabouts of Yu Feilong's old man's biological daughter.
"It was last year that I finally found out that this Princess Liu Ge is the young daughter of the clan sent from the Tang Dynasty, and she must be the biological daughter of Yu Feilong's old man. I have tried several times to get close to the Khan Dragon Court and take Princess Liu Ge away, but I have failed to do so, otherwise there would be no tricky matter now. This time, Yelu Shilu planned a rebellion, and Princess Liu Ge was entangled in it, her situation must be very dangerous, no matter what I Wei Tunan thinks, I will definitely save her!"
Han Bushou said: "In this case, if we people work together to save the Sticky Khan, why do you bother to get this book of Li Weigong's "Mirror of the Six Armies"?"
Yao Yantai replied: "Han Gongzi doesn't know, even if those martial arts masters hired by Yelu Shilu can kill my royal brother, they can't kill all his subordinates. Our Khitan army is different from your Central Plains army. Your Central Plains army marches and retreats, and all orders are given by a general. And we Khitans are natural warriors, ten people in a team, each fighting for their own battles, can beat the enemy to the ground. As for the generals, they only play a restraining role, and even if they die, the impact is not great.
"Therefore, if Yelu Shilu really wants to rebel, in addition to hiring a large number of martial arts masters, he will inevitably send a large number of men and horses to wipe out the troops attached to our Yao Yuan clan. Otherwise, these troops will fight in groups, and he will definitely not be an opponent. And if I can get Li Weigong's "Mirror of the Six Armies" book, and lead my troops according to Li Weigong's art of war, I will definitely be able to defeat Yelu Shilu's men and horses. ”
Han Bushou sneered, "After the third prince defeats Yelu Shilu, he will inevitably think about unifying the eight Khitan tribes and becoming a new generation of khans who 'give an order and ten thousand people obey', right? At that time, you will think about going south to attack our Central Plains." If this kind of thing is encountered by the family teacher, he will never allow the book "Six Military Mirrors" to fall into your hands. ”
Yao Yuantai hurriedly stretched out his hand to defend and said: "Please rest assured that Han Gongzi is this! My royal brother is still here, and I Yao Yuantai definitely has no disobedience to him." And I have only one purpose, and that is to protect our Yaoran clan from being harassed by Nayelushru. Han Bushou pondered for a moment after hearing this, and his gaze swept over everyone's faces, "Looking down, this book of "Six Army Mirrors" can only be handed over to a person you can trust for safekeeping, if the third prince wants to get the strategy in the book, he can ask that person." ”
Everyone knew who the person he was talking about was, and their eyes fell on Liu Yu, who was honest and honest, and was the only person that everyone could trust. Gongsun Mao took out the book "Mirror of the Six Armies" in his arms and stuffed it into Liu Yu's hand, "I agree with this opinion!" Liu Yu said: "Okay, I'll hold this book!" He opened the title page of the book, only to see that the paper had been slightly yellowed, and it was written in small letters: "Give it to my brother Zhongjian!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw it, and Lu Shengyan said: "Isn't this Zhongjian the real name of the bearded guest?" Han Bushou said: "Yes, it's him." Legend has it that after seeing Emperor Taizong Li Shimin from afar, he thought that he was the true dragon emperor, and since then, he has lost his intention to dominate the Central Plains. According to the history books, he later organized a thousand-strong army to conquer the Buyeo Kingdom in the East China Sea, where he became emperor. This book "Mirror of the Six Armies" should be given by Li Weigong to his righteous brother and teach him to march and fight. ”
Yue Shengsian had already gotten rid of his previous atrophy, and then he opened his mouth and asked: "Then this book of "Mirror of the Six Armies" should have followed the bearded guest to the Buyeo Kingdom in the East China Sea, how could it be discovered here?" Han Bushou was unimpressed by his unkempt face, and there was a faint sense of pleasure on his face, perhaps he never wanted to see that anyone who liked Zhang Hui would live well, "Actually, the question is here, who among us has really been to Buyeo Country?" Buyeo only exists in the written classics, as inaccessible as Penglai Immortal Island in the East China Sea!"
Yue Sheng sighed a little surprised, "Are you saying that the Buyeo Kingdom is completely imaginary, and the bearded guest's later experience is all fake!?"
Han Bushou nodded and said: "It should be so, a male lord like Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, how can he allow others to sleep soundly next to the couch." He even Dou Jiande (the leader of the peasant army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, who once competed with Li Tang for the world. He is benevolent and has a big mind, and he is quite popular with the people. Didn't let go. If he learns that the bearded man has the ambition to plot the world, how can he spare him?"
Han Bushou's remarks shocked everyone when they heard this, and Yao Yuantai frowned, "Han Gongzi, do you mean to say that the bearded guest has never been to any Buyeo country, is that just a whitewash by your Central Plains court historian?" Han Bushou's gaze fell on the white bones scattered all over the ground under the stone platform, "The third prince guessed roughly right, the bearded guest should have planned to lead the army to attack Goguryeo, but he failed to make the trip. It is estimated that this tiger mound was built by Li Weigong in order to rescue the bearded guest.
Han has been thinking about it for a long time since he entered the tomb, thinking that this Li Weigong raising a tiger was written by a historian in later generations. At that time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and others were all brilliant, but in the works they left behind, there was never any mention of Li Weigong's tiger raising. Therefore, Han dared to conclude that this should have been a taboo thing back then. ”
Yao Yantai nodded and said, "If there is one thing that can make Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui taboo, then it is definitely not a trivial matter." I now understand what Han Gongzi meant, do you want to say that Li Weigong risked the world's disapproval back then, hid the bearded guest in a tiger skin, took him out of Chang'an City, and sent him to the grassland. And Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others are all Li Weigong's life friends, and they are willing to hide it for him, and they don't want to publicize it?"
Lu Shengyan listened quietly to everyone's words, and was silent, and then spoke: "When we entered the second layer of the tunnel of this tiger mound earlier, we looked at the starry decoration on the wall, which looked like the emperor's mausoleum. Now I have heard from you that this bearded guest is a person with the ambition to annex the world, and it is not surprising that this mausoleum is used to match him. ”
Han Bushou said: "What you said is right, back then, the bearded guest hid in the tiger skin, escaped from Chang'an, and came to the grassland. To him, this tiger mound is more like a palace than a mausoleum. He turned his head to look at Yue Wu's room and said, "So you said that this tiger mound is more like a place where living people live, and those mechanisms are just door locks, which is very correct." ”
Yue Wu's mood was obviously not high, he just smiled slightly, and from time to time glanced at Wei Tunan's right hand, which was pinching the corpse of his mouse companion. Wei Tunan looked up at the stone cave dome, as if he was inadvertently avoiding his gaze, "Wei Mou has only one thing to suspect now, how did Li Weigong quietly build such a big tiger mound from the imperial court. ”
Han Bushou said with a smile: "Mr. Wei should have read the history books and know that when Li Weigong was in the north to conquer the Turks, he was annihilated by the famous Khitan general Ashina Simo here, and it was the first time in his life that he was defeated. "You mean, the defeat was fake, those people didn't die at all, but built a mausoleum here!"
Han Bushou said: "Yes, after those people finished repairing the mausoleum, they were going to die. But Li Weigong was kind-hearted, so he spared all their lives, and built a military fortress here, which is the Wuyun Fort where we live. He ordered those soldiers to be stationed here, and they were never allowed to return to the Central Plains, and the Central Plains people could not know the true inside story of the Tiger Mound. ”
Yao Yuantai nodded, affirming Han Bushou's statement, "Those tombs within a radius of a few miles of Wuyun Castle are all from your Central Plains. These graves have taken up a lot of our pasture, and in the past two years, many herders have tried to dig up and clear them, but I have stopped them. Han Bushou felt a little strange and asked, "Since it is not the grave of your Khitans, why didn't the third prince allow those herdsmen to clear those graves?"
Yao Yantai grinned, "I don't have to hide it from you now, in fact, we Khitan people have long known about the Tiger Mound, and we understand that it contains Li Weigong's military books and martial arts secrets." But no one knows where the specific location of this tiger mound is. As long as it is a building of the Central Plains people on the grassland, we are not allowed to move around, hoping that one day we can find a trace from it and find out the whereabouts of the tiger mound. ”
A flash of sharp light flashed in Han Bushou's eyes, "Third Prince, when did you learn about the Tiger Mound?" Yao Yantai scratched his head, "Thirty years, twenty years? No, it should have been more than ten years ago." But when I think about it, it looks like it happened many years ago, like a legend left by my father!"
Han Bushou turned his head and asked Wei Tunan again: "Then Mr. Wei, when did you hear Li Weigong's poem 'The Bright Moon Shines on the Pines, One, Two, Three, Four, Five'?" Wei Tunan's eyes widened, "Hasn't this poem always been there!?"
Han Bushou shook his head and said, "No, no, think about it again!" Wei Tunan thought for a moment and said, "As far as I am concerned, I saw it from a book of poems. ”
Han Bushou asked, "What year and by whom did you copy a copy of the poem?" Wei Tunan hesitated for a moment and said, "This is not clear, but judging from the paper, it should be almost ten years." ”
When the Nine Poisons Old Monster heard this, his expression became very excited, "You all listen! On the grassland, the legend of the tiger mound of the Khitan people began more than ten years ago. In the Central Plains, Li Weigong's poems also began to circulate more than ten years ago. There must be someone hiding in the shadows and deliberately spreading rumors everywhere so that everyone can come to this tiger mound, and he wants to kill us!"
As he spoke, he glared at Hua Sanniang fiercely and shouted: "Hua Sanniang! Lao Tzu has told you everything, it's time to hand over your rouge yellow, Lao Tzu doesn't want to die here!" )
