In other words, what Li Er cares about is the Tang Dynasty first, then himself, then the close relatives, then the close generals and civil servants, and finally the so-called brothers, sisters, elders and juniors.
of.
Because Li Er's daughters were still young, Li Er didn't care if he took out one of Li Yuan's daughters in exchange for a few years of stability in the Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Yuanxing is right in what he said, this is a matter of face.
This reputation belongs to the Tang Dynasty in a big way. In a small way, it belongs to Li Er and Li Yuanxing.
In any case, Li Yuanxing is also a close relative, and Li Er's close relatives can be counted on one hand, so Li Yuanxing wants to be tough, and Li Er is willing to let Li Yuanxing give it a try.
Li Yuanxing did not stay overnight in the palace, but returned to General Tiance's residence in Chang'an City.
As soon as he returned to the inner courtyard of Admiral Tiance's house and there were no outsiders, Wu Zhao pointed at Li Yuanxing: "Li Yuanxing, listen to me. Don't let me underestimate you. You want to lose face when you trade women for peace."
shameless!"
Cui and Lu, the two Qin princesses, were so frightened that anyone in the entire Tang Dynasty who dared to call King Qin by his name would be killed!
Who would have thought that Li Yuanxing mentioned Wu Zhao and slapped him twice on the buttocks: "You are the one who talks too much. National affairs are not child's play. Politics cannot be decided by one person." Wu Zhao wanted to resist, but Li Yuanxing
Wu Zhao put it under his arm, turned around and said to Qiuxiang: "Quickly send someone to invite King Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Cui Shangshu of the Ministry of Husband. Then invite King Mohe and King Khitan to come over. Prepare a dinner, I want to entertain guests!"
After a moment of pause, Li Yuanxing said again: "Call, General Yuchi, General Su Dingfang!"
After that, Li Yuanxing carried Wu Zhao and walked to his temporary study room in General Tiance's Mansion.
Cui Yanyan asked Lu Qiuyu beside her in a low voice: "Should we go and persuade him? His Highness seems angry!"
"I advise, don't advise. If one day, His Highness carries me into the house and spanks me, I will only be happy and not afraid. If His Highness is really angry, he will leave without saying a word. He will also spank me, just
Just think of it as a slight lesson." When Lu Qiuyu said this, her face turned red.
Cui Yanyan immediately became happy: "Sister Qiu Yu is feeling springy."
The Lu family and the Boling Cui family were already on good terms, and there were no taboos between the two of them talking. After Cui Yanyan finished speaking, she originally thought that Lu Qiuyu would blush, but Lu Qiuyu said instead: "Since I heard your call that night, even the night birds
I'm so frightened that I feel like spring. Tomorrow night is the day when I will accompany His Highness for the first time. Maybe my sister will be more generous and let me stay in the room tonight!"
"How shameless!" Cui Yanyan scolded with a smile.
Li Yuanxing entered the room, first put Wu Zhao on the table, and then closed the door: "You idiot, you treat the identity of the King of Qin as child's play. It's easy to talk about the affairs of the family behind closed doors, but you casually mentioned military affairs.
Get out, do whatever you want me to do, do whatever you want the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to do. Use your head, okay? This is not a place to play house!"
Wu Zhao pursed his little mouth again, looking pitiful.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful!" Li Yuanxing cursed angrily.
Wu Zhao blinked his beautiful big eyes: "How about being cute?"
porphyrin...
Li Yuanxing couldn't help laughing. This is the real scoundrel. He spanked Wu Zhao a few more times before sitting down angrily: "I'm ready to take action. Before everyone moves, take the first step."
Take action!"
"What's your first move?" Wu Zhao's expression became serious.
"Deploy troops and call for the twelve Chang'an Guards soldiers to assemble." Li Yuanxing said calmly.
Wu Zhao was shocked at once: "You are crazy. Spring plowing is about to begin. You have gathered the government soldiers. If the spring plowing is delayed, it will be delayed by a year. Do you want the world to curse you to death? Or, how much food do you have to supply them!"
"
"Don't forget, this king is the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty."
"Wait to be impeached!" Wu Zhao turned his head angrily. Li Yuanxing approached Wu Zhao and whispered a few words in Wu Zhao's ear. Wu Zhao's eyes lit up and he pointed at Li Yuanxing and shook his finger several times.
I was literally speechless.
When Li Yuanxing smiled and was about to retreat, Wu Zhao jumped up, stood on the table, hugged Li Yuanxing, and bit Li Yuanxing's neck: "You bad guy!"
"I have never said that I am a good person!" Li Yuanxing smiled proudly.
Wei Heizi was in Yaozhou at this time, and there was a lot of work there. Especially in terms of armaments, there must be an overall plan. If there is a plan, Wei Zheng is the only one.
Cui Sheli was from Jinghe River, and the Jinghe Bridge was a major event. Even the Ministry of Industry sent two ministers to participate in it.
Someone outside reported that the Khitan King had arrived.
"Why so fast?" Li Yuanxing really couldn't understand. The little eunuch replied: "When I return to Your Highness, King Khitan heard that Your Highness came to Chang'an City, so he prepared gifts for the visit. He said that he was going to Qin Wangzhuang to say goodbye and return to Liaodong.
Gone."
Li Yuanxing waved his hand to signal the young eunuch to leave.
"Girl, regarding the troop deployment plan, you can sort out the second half for me. Su Dingfang will plan the first half!"
In the living room of the outer courtyard, the gifts prepared by King Khitan were sincere, not expensive, but very thoughtful. They were some furs that his sons had hunted with their own hands, including mink and fox skins. This time we came to the big
Tang Qiu was studying, so he brought these gifts here as a way of thanking his teacher!
"Sit!" Li Yuanxing returned the gesture and sat down first.
"After three days, the little king will go back. I want to come again to listen to His Highness's teachings!" These words of the Khitan King were not lies.
The Khitan King originally only had more than 40% control over the Khitan, and many large tribes did not listen to him. But after cooperating with the Tang Dynasty, these tribes have taken the initiative to discuss cooperation many times in order to share some benefits, and even considered
To a certain extent, he obeyed the arrangements of the Khitan King.
"Originally I planned to wait until King Mohe Khan arrived before mentioning it, but it took too long to wait for his arrival. I have some requests!"
"Your Highness, please speak frankly. As long as I, the Khitan, can do what I can, I will never disappoint Your Highness!"
Li Yuanxing held out three fingers: "Three hundred thousand. I want to see 300,000 slaves before August this year. This year, I want 500,000 slaves. Among them, the number of Goguryeo people must not be less than 480,000!"
"
The Khitan king was shocked. To put it bluntly, he wanted to rob Goguryeo.
Five hundred thousand people. According to the current population distribution in Goguryeo, this means thousands of villages and towns, as well as two cities.
But then, Li Yuanxing's words directly frightened the Khitan King.
"Jian'an Prefecture, Liaocheng Prefecture. You choose one, I want it. When King Mohe Khan comes later, you can discuss it."
The Khitan king was sweating. This was no longer an ordinary city. Either one of these two cities was a big city, and both were easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Khitan people's skills on horseback were fine, but they were not good at attacking the city.
What's more, facing such a big city, at least one hundred thousand troops are needed.
The number of people can be gathered together to attack the city... It's terrible.
After drinking cup after cup of tea, King Khitan Khan still felt thirsty and his body was very hot, with an indescribable feeling of heat.
Refusal is absolutely unacceptable. If King Qin of the Tang Dynasty dares to make this request, the rewards will be astonishing. He can even take this opportunity to unify the entire Khitan tribe in one fell swoop and become the true Khitan Khan.
Half an hour later, Wang Jishan and King Mohe Khan also arrived.
As soon as the two of them entered the room, they saw the expression on King Khitan Khan's face and the obviously wet collar. They were both shocked and couldn't figure out what happened here.
Seeing King Mohe Khan coming in, King Khitan Khan saluted Li Yuanxing, and then took King Mohe Khan into the side hall.
"Your Highness, what happened?"
"I just want something, five hundred thousand Goguryeo slaves, plus..." Li Yuanxing paused deliberately, with a smile on his face, and then continued: "Plus, Jian'an City!"
Wang Jishan was also shocked. Is Li Yuanxing crazy? It was a large city in Goguryeo, and there were at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops defending it.
But looking at Li Yuanxing's expression, he looked confident.
Just when Wang Jishan wanted to ask questions, Khitan Khan and Mohe Khan came back again. At this time, Khitan Khan no longer had the sad expression on his face, and his eyes were shining. "His Royal Highness, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, we two
The clan can mobilize a total of 130,000 elites and 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers. I am willing to fight for His Highness the King of Qin!"
"Very well, please sit down." Li Yuanxing stood up and personally asked the two of them to sit down.
"Come here, take this king's message to ask Li Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and quickly go to Yaozhou to ask Wei Zheng to come back. Then bring ten thousand catties of fine steel back to Chang'an!" Li Yuanxing ordered.
The Khitan King was moved.
Just now in the side hall, after listening to all the words, King Mohe Khan only said one sentence: "I don't know what will happen to the Mohe clan in the future, but today, this Khan can truly be called a king."
Yes, they can only be considered a king if they cooperate with the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty.
No matter whether it is power or wealth, he is like a king. Before, they were so poor that they could not even equip five hundred guards.
At this time, His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty asked for ten thousand catties of fine steel!
Cui Junsu came a little late, and he didn't see the wonderful things in front of him. He only saw Wang Jishan frowning, and the excitement was written on the faces of the two foreign kings.
Li Yuanxing saw Cui Junsu coming in, greeted him politely, and then continued.
"In the warehouse at the rear, you can take out 100,000 weapons and 10,000 armors. As for the price, you can discuss it with Cui Shangshu. You can use everything to repay the sum. What I want very much is Jian'an City.
I want 30% of the spoils of war in Jian'an City. I will send the most elite troops from the Four Guards of Tiance to help you capture Jian'an in one fell swoop!"
(Jian'an City in the Tang Dynasty was located on the east mountain of Gaolicheng Village, Qingshiguanbao, 7.5 kilometers northeast of modern Gai County, Liaoning Province)
Jian'an, when Cui Junsu heard this name, he felt like his whole body was being hit by electricity.
What a great location. If we really win here, it will drive a steel nail into the throat of Goguryeo. Going south, we can suppress Bisha City (now near Dalian) and the tens of millions of acres of peninsula. Going east, we can suppress it.
The main road between North Korea and Pyongyang, the westernmost one.
Cui Junsu does not doubt Li Yuanxing's strength.
If Li Yuanxing wants a place, he can definitely capture it, and he can teach the Goguryeo envoys a lesson. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
