Volume IV Chapter 35 Dignitaries

Three days later, late at night, under the city of Tibet, Xiao Limin led 300 soldiers to stand 100 meters away from the city gate.

The defenders of the city asked in a loud voice, "Who is coming?"

Xiao Limin rode forward and said, "Please go back and report to General Liao, just say that you are waiting to see you!"

After a long time, the city gate was wide open, and Liao Qian wore a prancing horse in civilian clothes to go out of the city to greet him. Since both of them were generals, Liao Qian did not dismount to greet them, but directly greeted Xiao Limin on the horse.

Liao Qian also felt strange, and grabbed his mount and asked, "Why did Cheng Enhou come here late at night......?" What is it for?" Liao Qian knew that Xiao Limin was the royal family of the Xiao family, and in this west, he represented the holy will, and only he could have the power and courage to lead him to the state capital.

Xiao Limin said: "Not long ago, Li Xiantong passed by Qingzhou, and I sent someone to receive him. It was agreed with him to reminisce after five days, but he didn't know that ten days had passed, and there was no news of Xiaoyaohou. Dare to ask General Liao, have you ever met with the Marquis of Xiaoyao? Can his bows and arrows be safely delivered to Tibet?"

"This ......" Liao Qian frowned, obviously knowing something: "Cheng'en Hou specially brought troops here, wouldn't he have heard of it?"

Xiao Limin got straight to the point and said: "I have heard of it." I heard from the people who came back from Tibet that Xiaoyao Hou was trapped in Tibet, and I saw General Liao lead his troops to arrest Xiaoyao Hou and his group from the Gaoshan Dart Bureau that day, but is there such a thing?"

"It does. Liao Qian thought to himself that this Xiao Limin dared to bring troops, he must have inquired clearly, if he didn't tell the truth, he wanted to enter the city, and no one dared to stop him.

"Why?" Xiao Limin's simple question made Liao Qian stunned for a moment.

Liao Qian said: "It's just because Xiaoyao Hou once had a holiday with Hong Erlang of the Gaoshan Dart Bureau." That day, after Xiaoyao Hou led his men to escort the batch of bows and arrows, he disappeared. Then one day in the Gaoshan Dart Bureau, Xiaoyaohou's second son Li Baobao came to me and said that the bows and arrows were in the Gaoshan Dart Bureau. I led the troops to go, but Hong Erlang told me that this batch of goods appeared in the backyard early in the morning, and then Xiaoyao Hou led his men to break into the dart game. Liao has no talent, and after many verifications, he failed to find out when this batch of goods entered the Gaoshan Dart Bureau. But fortunately, the batch of ordnance was intact, so it was ordered to be sent first. Liao thought that this Tibetan state is in a wartime state at the moment, and it is not appropriate to show favoritism, and the matter of this batch of bows and arrows and ordnance is said to be reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable. It's just that this Marquis of Xiaoyao forcibly broke into a private house without consent, and he is violating the strict law of our wartime, and if he is not detained and tried, I am afraid that it will not affect it well. ”

"I understand. General Liao governed the army strictly, and Tibet was able to be stable and the people were blessed. Xiao Limin replied: "But this matter is just as General Liao said, the matter has not yet come to light, of course, there is no clue about this matter, the ordnance has been in hand, and doing more useless work will cause a big loss." Although this Marquis Xiaoyao is guilty, he has saved His Majesty in Xianlutai, and has already worshiped the marquis, and Princess Zaiyu of the court is even married to the Li family, full of honor, not the same. He also asked General Liao to hand over Xiaoyaohou and his party to General Ben for disposal, and General Ben would go up to heaven to listen and make a decision. In this way, General Liao will be saved from having a lot of opportunities to deal with every day, and he will also have a comprehensive faΓ§ade. ”

Xiao Limin directly approached Liao Qian's dignitaries, and what he said was reasonable and reasonable, and Liao Qian didn't say anything else for a while.

"What?" Xiao Limin asked, "Does General Liao have something unspeakable?"

Liao Qian sighed and said: "It's not a secret, the border is tight right now, and my elite soldiers have all gone to fight Xirong." This Xiaoyao Hou and his entourage are all from the martial arts, and Liao really has no soldiers to escort them out of Tibet. Cheng En waited for these 300 soldiers, in case there was a change in the middle, how could Liao afford it?"

Xiao Limin said curiously: "What, do you think Xiaoyaohou will be stupid enough to abscond with the crime and give himself a real charge?"

"Of course not. Liao Qian said: "It's just that recently, in the next observation period, all of the subordinates have a manic temperament, and these eighty people are all people who practice martial arts, and General Xiao is afraid that it will be difficult to ensure that something happens." ”

Xiao turned around, looked at the three hundred soldiers lined up behind him, pointed to Liao Qian and asked, "General Liao, what do you think of my army?"

Liao Qian replied respectfully: "General Xiao has a good way of governing the army, and this momentum is no worse than killing the enemy on the battlefield." ”

"The three hundred soldiers I brought with me today are also my personal guard battalion. To tell you the truth, these 300 soldiers were the first batch of gold-armored guards to retire, and I was cheeky enough to ask His Majesty for it. Now they are all a little older, but they are also in the year of fighting, what is the difficulty of these 300 gold guards against 80 dart guards? What's more, Xiaoyao Hou is also here, Xiaoyao Hou is not disobedient, which one dares to act rashly?"

Xiao Limin's speech has a royal domineering, and his expression is calm, but it is also majestic.

Liao Qian was speechless, it seems that this Xiao Limin is really prepared.

Xiao Limin saw that Liao Qian was still embarrassed, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "If General Liao is embarrassed and has insufficient manpower, then I, Xiao Limin, will go into the city to get it myself, what does General Liao think?"

Liao Qian sighed: "This is also not in accordance with the rules. ”

Xiao Limin raised his voice: "Then please ask General Liao to escort Xiaoyao Hou and his party out of the city now, and I, Xiao Limin, lead the Qingzhou guards and wait here!"

Liao Qian's face was full of doubts at the moment. Not to mention that the street ban was implemented that day, and the people on the street were empty, even if there were, what purpose did Xiao Limin use to find this person who passed through Qingzhou from Tibet, and happened to understand the situation?

What Liao Qian didn't know was that on the night he was in Qingzhou before, Li Xiantong did not let Wu Ding follow him to Tibet, and Wu Ding stayed in Qingzhou. The so-called Wu Ding who came to Tibet was a subordinate who looked like Wu Ding and had sharp melon seeds, and Li Xiantong took him into the city as Wu Ding. He knew that someone would follow, for fear that Li Xiantong's people would jump out of Tibet and report to the people outside.

Liao Qian and Hong Erlang finished counting, but they didn't count that Li Xiantong left a hand first. The number of 80 people is actually 81 people, and Li Xiantong bets that the spies sent by Tibetan Prefecture will not be counted seriously. Sure enough, Hong Erlang's son Hong Jin only paid attention to the four leaders of Li Xiantong, Li Baohu, Li Baobao, and Wu Ding according to their appearance, and then roughly counted the number of people, and determined that it was the same as the rumor released by Li Xiantong, there was no doubt that there were eighty people, how did Hong Jin think that Wu Ding in this pile of people was not the real Wu Ding?

Seeing Liao Qian hesitate, Xiao Limin shouted again: "General Liao, what should I do?"

Liao Qian sighed and said, "Well, since Cheng Enhou insists on this, then I will send Xiaoyao Hou and his party to Cheng Enhou." However, Cheng En Hou had to promise to Liao that his official affairs would be carried out, so that Liao could set a certain example for the residents of the Tibetan garrison. ”

Xiao Limin said: "This is a certainty. ”
