Section 590 The Stratagem of Smart People [There are still today
horse!
Li Yuanxing knew that King Gaochang was referring to the horse of Turkic Jieli Khan, saying that it injured its leg. This was just an excuse. An excuse for Li Yuanxing and Li Er not to reward the horse. If the horse was rewarded,
It won't be the generals of the Tang Dynasty, but it will definitely be the Turkic tribes. Such trophies must be left behind.
As for pearl necklaces, like the one worn by Cui Yingying, there were only two in the entire Tang Dynasty.
One string is in the Qin Palace, but it does not belong to anyone. It belongs to the inner treasury in the backyard, and is used to show off. The other string is in the inner treasury of the palace, and it still does not belong to anyone. They are all the same and can be worn, but they are not
Can have it.
Li Yuanxing squinted his eyes, seemingly looking at King Gaochang, but in fact he was thinking about the records he had read about King Gaochang.
Suddenly, Li Yuanxing laughed.
"Okay, I'll give you that horse. There are only two strings of pearls like that in the world, and the other string is already in my brother's treasury. That's fine!" Li Yuanxing sighed softly: "Someone, go get it.
My king’s string.”
King Gao Jing immediately got off the donkey and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Wang, here is the new tax treaty certificate and a box of seven-color gems."
Li Yuanxing laughed a few times and motioned to the guards beside him to take the gift and the credentials.
"Your Highness, King Qin, Xiao Wang will leave tomorrow morning and go back immediately to arrange tax changes." King Gaochang left in a hurry again.
Li Yuanxing came up and said: "The king of Gaochang has traveled far away to our country, the Tang Dynasty. I have not fulfilled my duties as a landlord. I am very uneasy. Since it is important, I will give you the right to trade thousands of pieces of cloud brocade and ten thousand catties of snow salt every year in Gaochang.
.”
"Thank you, His Royal Highness, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty!" King Gaochang said cheerfully.
To Li Yuanxing's surprise, Murong Shun from Tuyuhun was also preparing to leave. The reason was that he had been here for ten days and had a backlog of government affairs that he had to go back to deal with.
Li Yuanxing did not try to persuade him to stay, but sent Wei Ting to send him out politely.
"King Yiwu, please stay for a few more days. I have something important to say to you!" Li Yuanxing spoke to Yiwu in an unkind tone. King Yiwu was stunned for a moment and then stood up and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Qin's command!"
"Please recall carefully what happened between Gao Chang and Yi Wu in the past year, and what actions Gao Chang took. I will send an important person to have an in-depth talk with you. This matter is very important. Thank you, King Yi Wu for your hard work.
." Li Yuanxing still said this with a straight face.
When King Yiwu heard this, he was filled with joy, thinking that Li Yuanxing was going to stand up for him.
After King Yiwu went out, Li Yuanxing said to Lu Maofeng beside him: "Tomorrow, after the guests leave, prepare for a meeting and arrange for someone to have a good talk with King Yiwu today. I am extremely uneasy. Don't talk too much.
Don’t mention it even a word today, and don’t spy on those guests!”
Lu Maofeng gave a very solemn military salute and retreated.
Li Yuanxing's expression was very bad, which made everyone afraid to approach him. Even Qiuxiang couldn't help but step back a few steps.
No matter how kind, no matter how kind you are.
It cannot stop the most bloody title of the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the King of Qin represented more than just power. The first King of Qin known to the world was the king of the Qin Empire. He conquered the world with iron and blood. The second was
As the world knows, he also conquered the Tang Dynasty with iron and blood, and let this iron and blood swallow up his brothers.
Third place. In the first battle of his debut, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks turned upside down.
Li Yuanxing looked bad. No one wanted to get into trouble.
"I'm going to the study. I want to be alone for a while. If you don't have anything important to do, don't disturb me." Li Yuanxing's tone made everyone even more nervous.
After Li Yuanxing sat in the small independent tent, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Your Highness is not happy!" Lu Maofeng asked after coming back.
Qiuxiang stood in front of the small tent that Li Yuanxing used as his study with a straight face: "Do you still need to ask this?"
Lu Maofeng did not dare to ask any more questions, and ordered the two personal guards responsible for guarding to keep watch while he went to the packing area to take a look. The bones of the giant beast were also a big deal at the moment.
Li Yuanxing was not happy. Only a dozen personal guards knew about this matter.
Even the two Qin princesses were not informed.
It was only said that His Highness King Qin had some official business to deal with, so he would not accompany the two princesses that night.
The next day, when Wei Ting sent the two guests away on behalf of Li Yuanxing, Lu Maofeng had already begun to summon the generals.
Those who came to the meeting tent were naturally Li Xiaogong, Zhang Gongjin, and Yan Shigu. Then came Li Yuanxing, Zhili Sili, Su Dingfang and several other generals. Xue Wanche of Yulin.
This Xue Wanche was a figure. He and his younger brother were from the Prince's Palace and Prince Qin's Palace respectively.
He was a general in the Prince's Mansion. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he fought to the death for the Prince. Later, he was dressed up by Yu Chigong and fled into the Qinling Mountains. Li Shimin personally invited him out, thinking that since he was a member of the Prince's Mansion, he would fight to the death for the Prince.
It's loyalty, not fault.
Although Xue Wanche was a little stupid, he was so brave that even Yu Chigong felt a headache when fighting him alone.
"I heard that the barbarian actually robbed something from Prince Qin's palace." Xue Wanche came in and spoke directly without waiting to salute anyone. "As long as His Highness gives the order, those goods can't travel more than ten miles, and they will be broken into bones and brought back!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin should have used the treasure tactic when he was attacking Guo under false pretenses. To stabilize Gaochang, in a few years, once Gaochang is destroyed, BMWs will still be BMWs, and pearls will still be pearls. You can also get them back." Zhang Gongjin
After speaking, he said to Xue Wanche: "General Xue, don't worry. Anyone who dares to show disrespect in front of His Majesty the King of Qin will definitely be severely punished. He will not be out of Gaochang for three years."
All the generals said one after another: "General Zhang is brilliant."
Li Yuanxing entered the tent at this time, and everyone bowed and stood according to their status.
"What I want to know most is when the spring market with Tuyuhun will open next year. Send someone back to Chang'an quickly and ask General Qin to send someone to investigate!"
"Your Highness, why did you suddenly check this time?" Su Dingfang asked.
Li Yuanxing sat down and motioned for everyone to sit down: "I checked the information last night. King Gaochang is not a greedy man, nor is he the kind of person who is greedy for small profits or money. Moreover, King Gaochang has read many of our books.
, it can be said that his knowledge is no less than that of a learned scholar in the Tang Dynasty!"
"What do you mean, His Highness, he is using a trick?" Su Dingfang asked.
Li Yuanxing nodded: "I checked the terrain and found that Ganzhou is the only way to go to Yiwu from the Tang Dynasty. If you don't go through Ganzhou, you can either borrow the road from Tuyuhun and go around five hundred miles. I guess Tuyuhun won't borrow it.
. Or go north into the desert, and the army will walk in the desert. Not to mention how dangerous it is, there is no way to guarantee the logistics supplies alone, and this circle will cover hundreds of miles of desert."
"Your Highness thinks that Tuyuhun wants to take action against Yiwu!" Li Xiaogong asked.
Li Yuanxing signaled his guards to be on alert, and then used a small handheld projector in the conference room to display a road map of the topography of Gaochang, Yiwu, and northwest Datang.
"As long as Tuyuhun blocked Ganzhou, there were only thousands of soldiers and horses to stop our Tang army for half a month, and Yiwu disappeared."
"Your Highness, the spring market is already around the tenth day of April. The ice and snow in Tuyuhun begin to melt in March. Even if the caravan sets out in mid-March, the market opening time is barely on the tenth day of April. The real spring market is almost in mid-April.
"Li Xiaogong has obviously studied the climate and topography of that area.
Li Yuanxing smiled:
"King Gaochang is very scheming, pretending to be a money-grubbing fool, thinking that this king is plotting against him. He is planning to slow him down for a few years, and I will wait for a few years, but he starts early, so scheming, so scheming. Could it be?
The hostility shown by this king towards Gaochang is too great, or maybe..."
"Perhaps the Gaochang people have an alliance with the Goguryeo people!" Su Dingfang whispered from the side.
"Shameless, extremely shameless!" Yan Shigu cursed angrily.
Li Yuanxing laughed even louder:
"Even if Duke Yan points his finger in the face of King Gaochang and scolds him, it won't work. Politics itself is shameless. They chose the time too well. The king's army went to Goguryeo, so naturally they couldn't take care of him. Gaochang. He and Tuyuhun allied forces, and they fought for ten days
You can destroy Yiwu!"
"Your Highness, five days at most. Three days at the earliest. Yiwu is a waste who is greedy for money and afraid of death!" Li Xiaogong also said.
Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "Let me, the king, think about it, let me, the king, think about it!"
"Your Highness, Yiwu cannot be lost. Yiwu has many checkpoints, but they are built facing our Tang Dynasty. It is very easy to attack from west to east. But it is extremely difficult for our Tang Dynasty to attack from east to west. Moreover, the road to Gaochang is too far.
For the transportation of military rations, save two out of ten!" Li Xiaogong anxiously told Li Yuanxing the importance of Yiwu.
One hundred dans of grain were transported to Yiwu, but only 20 dans were left.
With Yiwu here, a large part of the food problem can be solved by itself.
But without Yiwu, just transporting grain from Chang'an, even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, can't sustain it no matter how much grain there is. This consumption is too huge.
"Your Highness, the Tianshan cotton fields are not guaranteed, and our Tang Dynasty cannot afford this loss." Wei Ting also said.
Li Yuanxing smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"In April next year, if Goguryeo breaks the treaty and my army is in Gaochang, then if Goguryeo is not taught a lesson, the face of the Tang Dynasty will be really humiliated. From another perspective, my army goes to Goguryeo, but Goguryeo accepts the offer, and
Gaochang suddenly took action, and I was too late to save him. The army moved to Gaochang, and the food consumption was too huge. And it may not be possible to defeat Gaochang quickly. This is another joke!"
"What if Goguryeo turns against you when His Highness leaves?"
"The king has already made calculations. When the time comes, he won't be able to take care of the front and back. It's not a lack of military strength, but a lack of logistics. There is definitely no way to guarantee the supply of military food to both sides."
Listening to what Li Yuanxing said, if all this is true, then the people of Goguryeo and Gaochang really did something big this time.
It’s just that people don’t understand.
How could His Highness the King of Qin see through this plot? If His Highness the King of Qin had not revealed it, no one would have thought about all of this link by link. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian

ps: The update is a bit late today because there are guests at home and there is no way to calm down.
I was pretending to be sleepy and wanted to take a nap when I got home, so I quickly coded a section.
When the guests leave in the evening, if you write harder and ask for more updates, there will definitely be more updates.
