The First Quarter Moon Against Chang'an Chapter 1387: The Hero's Acquaintance As his status increased, Li Xuan became more and more fond of reading books, his two favorites were history books.
In the history books, he saw reincarnation.
At the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, arrogant soldiers and powerful generals were rampant, and no one could defeat them, and they wiped out the unconquered subjects for the Central Plains dynasty.
Then the dynasty entered a period of stable development, and the originally balanced civil and military forces gradually became unbalanced.
Not war, but peace has become the consensus of both the government and the opposition.
Later, the civilian officials gradually gained the upper hand, and naturally they would not let the military officials climb on top of them.
Suppressing warriors has become an unspoken rule.
Why do men join the army?
Seeking fame, seeking a way out, and even seeking to change one's own class.
But when the army is weakened and foreign campaigns are repeatedly defeated; when the status of warriors declines...it is inevitable that martial arts becomes synonymous with fools.
Li Xuan wanted to reverse this trend.
Ning Yayun didn't talk much recently, she was more observing the expedition, as if she was comprehending something.
Li Xuan asked rhetorically.
Ning Yayun herself was a learned person, so she stroked her beard and smiled, feeling a little complacent.
Ning Yayun thought for a while,
Lao Shuaiguo is an honest man.
Li Xuan asked, and without waiting for Ning Yayun to answer, he stepped into the Hongzhou case.
Ning Yayun stood outside the gate blankly.
There was one more person in front of me, Bao Dong.
Ning Yayun sighed and read a book
He suddenly woke up,
Bao Dong was puzzled,
Ning Yayun said.
Wang Laoer jumped in.
On the school grounds, tens of thousands of new recruits are practicing.
On the high platform, Shi Zhongtang and his civil and military officials were observing.
Ashina Chunyu said:
Stupid people are simple.
Simple people do great things.
No, he is good at killing people.
He Zun smiled and said:
Shi Zhongtang asked.
Chun Yu said proudly, but did not see He Zun's ugly face.
Later, everyone goes back.
Several civil servants found He Zun.
A gray-bearded official said sadly:
How could He Zun not know the consequences of doing so? He said:
Everyone sighed.
He Zun immediately asked to see Shi Zhongtang.
Shi Zhongtang was in a good mood,
He Zun knew that this was not the time to persuade, but this problem had become more and more serious. If it continued to develop, all the wealthy businessmen in southern Xinjiang would run away.
Shi Zhongtang picked up a document.
Shi Zhongtang raised his eyes,
Seeing the cold look in Shi Zhongtang's eyes, He Zun could only bite the bullet and continue to admonish, "If the merchants come here, if I offend them all,
Now, who will deliver the goods? And..." He raised his head and glanced at Shi Zhongtang again,
Shi Zhongtang did not agree, and He Zun felt more and more uncomfortable. He wanted to persuade him again, but just as he was about to speak, Shi Zhongtang gave him a cold look.
This glance made He Zun feel cold in his heart, and he immediately left.
After walking out of Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, He Zun staggered into a wine shop.
He drank wine and thought about his experience.
When I followed Zhang Chumao, although I didn't like Zhang Chumao's obedient attitude towards Yang, at least my life was stable.
Later, he surrendered to Shi Zhongtang, and he even felt some pleasure in revenge.
Shi Zhongtang's generosity, Shi Zhongtang's fluent acceptance of advice, and Shi Zhongtang's sensitivity made him extremely happy, and he felt that he had found a master truly worthy of his assistance.
But now?
The lord took off his mask, revealing his ferocious face.
It turns out that the so-called magnanimity is just a gesture, and Shi Zhongtang believes in knives in his heart.
When there is no shortage of money, everyone can talk easily.
When money is tight, I can't help but give you money or your life.
What's this?
He Zun smiled bitterly and drank it all in one gulp.
Shi Zhongtang stood on the top of Qinghe City, and Ashina Chunyu stood behind him to report.
Shi Zhongtang turned around,
When he first entered Chang'an, it was not that no one persuaded him to enter, but Shi Zhongtang felt that he had the advantage and was not in a hurry. He wanted to stabilize the overall situation first. Now that he was driven to southern Xinjiang by the King of Qin, his desire to ascend the throne became even more intense.
Ashina Chunyu said happily:
Shi Zhongtang thought about it for a long time, suppressing his desire to ascend the throne right now.
Ashina Chunyu left happily.
Shi Zhongtang smiled and watched a caravan slowly leave the city.
Shi Zhongtang asked.
He killed many wealthy merchants in southern Xinjiang, and gained countless amounts of money and food from their homes. Perhaps they were worried that continuing to do business would attract Shi Zhongtang's attention, so the wealthy merchants have recently retreated to their homes collectively and stopped doing business.
The attendant next to me went down to inquire about it and came up and said:
The Southern Zhou caravan is the most special existence on this continent.
Even if there was a tense situation between the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Zhou Dynasty, it still did not affect their business.
Even though Fang Chong was defeated in the Northern Expedition, merchants from the Southern Zhou Dynasty still traveled between Southern Xinjiang and Southern Zhou Dynasty.
The world is huge and the business is the biggest!
This is the mantra of Southern Zhou merchants.
Shi Zhongtang turned around, and the caravan was gradually leaving.
The Southern Zhou Dynasty Councilor and Political Affairs Wang Zhong looked at Zhang Jing and said angrily.
Zhang Jing's long legs looked particularly eye-catching on the horseback. She said calmly:
Wang Zhong shook his head, "The merchant wants to
What is it? Being friendly brings money, you have to laugh, you have to smile. But you laughed as if you were a creditor before. There are still hurdles in the future, so be careful."
Zhang Jing looked worried.
But the kings were a little high-spirited.
Wang Zhong's career can be considered somewhat legendary.
When he was working in the Ministry of Rites, his career encountered a bottleneck, and he had no credit or nobles. At this time, the Tang Dynasty envoy came, and Wang Zhong was ordered to take the envoy on a trip to show off the prosperity of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
As a result, they encountered rebellious people on the way and were besieged in the city. After escaping from the siege, Wang Zhong broke his toes and successfully obtained meritorious service and was promoted to Minister of Rites.
In the subsequent Southern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty and the defeat of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Wang Zhong was ordered to send envoys to negotiate with Li Xuan at that time.
After returning, the king was promoted to prime minister due to official duties.
Zhang Jing thought of the young man back then. No matter how much she thought, she could not connect that young man with the legendary King of Qin.
Zhang Jing, "
That person is not exactly one of my nobles... Wang Zhong dealt with Li Xuan twice. After one time he was promoted to minister, and the second time he was promoted to prime minister.
If I go back this time, I might become the first assistant!
The hearts of the kings were on fire.
Zhang Jing has complicated thoughts.
The DPRK decided to join forces with the Northern Xinjiang Army to destroy Shi Zhongtang in Southern Xinjiang. To this end, it was necessary to send envoys.
There is almost no one who competes with the kings for the selection of envoys. Without him, the kings have friendship with the King of Qin.
——One more helper is a life-saving help for the King of Qin at this moment!
This is the understanding of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. As long as you follow the mission and return, you will have more qualifications and merits. Therefore, the candidates for deputy envoys are also fiercely competitive.
Just when a group of ministers were fighting over each other, Nian Xu spoke.
who?
the ministers asked.
Nian Xu didn't answer.
Zhang Shan was thrust into the mission and was depressed all the time.
The kings stroked their beards and smiled.
I understand, but what does this have to do with me being the deputy envoy?
Zhang Shan nodded.
"At that time, everyone in the Zhou Dynasty, including me, believed that the Central Plains was about to change its dynasty. The Tang Dynasty would be destroyed and a new dynasty would rise. Do you understand?" Zhang Shan nodded.
Didn't you understand?
Zhang Jing almost wanted to nod.
Zhang Jing shook her head,
Wang Zhong sighed:
Zhang Shan thought for a while,
Wang Zhong said:
He reached out out of habit to pat Zhang Bo on the shoulder, but pulled back halfway.
Damn it!
This is the commander of the princess' bodyguard!
Wang Zhong coughed dryly.
Zhang Jing suddenly became enlightened.
Wang Zhong looked at her with a childish look, "In order to impress
King Qin, your Majesty has sent me as his envoy, but it is quite a headache for your Majesty to choose the deputy envoy. After thinking about it, the only one who has ever had friendship with King Qin is the princess."
But asking Nian Ziyue to go on an envoy would be a slap in the face.
Therefore, by making Zhang Jing the deputy envoy, he wanted to make use of the friendship he had at that time to speak out.
Zhang Jing completely understood.
But there is a doubt.
Wang Zhong shook his head,
More than ten riders galloped in front.
The Southern Zhou envoy pretending to be a caravan quickly got out of the way.
Wang Zhong squinted at the sergeants,
Before negotiating, he must be informed of the current situation.
Among the entourage was a spy from the Love Division.
The secret spies of the Southern Zhou Dynasty are famous all over the world, especially their ability to conceal their traces, which is unparalleled.
Shi Zhongtang, who had just stepped off the city wall, was explaining things when he turned around and said:
The attendant said:
The scout was brought over.
Shi Zhongtang nodded,
He didn't ask Fang Xu to stick to it for twenty days, fifteen days was enough.
As long as the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army can be dragged down, he can set up a defensive line on the second line and wear down the Northern Xinjiang Army step by step.
Until a fighter plane appears.
But it takes time.
Shi Zhongtang rubbed his eyebrows:
He opened his eyes,
Shi Zhongtang couldn't help but cursed:
He was just about to go back to gather people to discuss matters, but when he saw that the scout still didn't leave, he snorted softly,
