Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 730 Reason!dare not!
After Li Shimin received Zhang Gongjin's memorial, he ordered Qin Wenyuan to be daring and reckless, and ordered Xu Jiajun to return to the front line of Youzhou to assist Youzhou Governor Wei Xiaojie in blocking the way of the Turkic army's eastward escape.

Qin Wenyuan didn't care about Li Shimin's reprimand, but because of Zhang Gongjin's letter, he got the emperor's order to assist Youzhou Army, which made Xu Jiajun happy that he had a legal reason to send troops in this battle.

At that time, Qin Wenyuan and Wei Xiaojie took the excuse of Xu Jiajun's training to take the troops to the front line of Yunzhou and ordered their subordinates to do everything possible to win over the local defense troops in Yunzhou. Characters and objects, how can we see all kinds of exquisite gifts from the Qin family and Sima Yuntian's interesting and calm conversation, after several exchanges, he obeyed Qin Wenyuan's orders, making the Qin family's army feel like a fish in water in Yunzhou.

Slowly, Qin Wenyuan and Sima Yuntian combined to completely take down the important pass in the front line of Yunzhou, guarding the escape route of the East Turks, and at the same time let Ma San, who came with the army from Dengzhou, assist Sima Yuntian to start building an intelligence organization here , A large number of clever people from various ethnic groups on the surrounding grasslands were recruited to serve as Xu Jun's eyeliner, and infiltrated into the local people, officials and traders.

During this period, Xu Shiji, who led the main force of the Tang army from the east to the Turkic hinterland, heard the news that his nephew Qin Wenyuan had led the army to the front line of Yunzhou. His uncle was embarrassed, Qin Wenyuan replied to his uncle that he led the Xu family army out mainly to see the scene of the next battle and to assist Wei Xiaojie in blocking the way for the Turks to escape eastward.

Seeing his nephew's reply letter, Qin Shiji felt a little worried. Based on his understanding of his nephew, this kid leading the army this time would not be as simple as he said. Judging from the position of the nephew's current army stationed in the army, he is faint There is a kind of understanding of my nephew's ambitions. It is possible that this kid intends to go to the vast land of Liaocheng and Songmo. Presumably the navy established in Dengzhou is also related to his purpose!
This idea made Qin Shiji admire and be a little afraid of his nephew's great ambition. If it was as he imagined, how would the emperor treat the Qin family? Once the Qin family obtained the right to rule the area, just think about it in the Tang Dynasty Those so-called aristocratic families are nothing.

"Don't dare to think, dare not think!"

Looking at the map in front of him, Xu Shiji murmured softly to himself.

Just as Qin Wenyuan was in full swing on the front line of Yunzhou to deepen Xu's army's influence on this place, Chunniang, the princess of Xue Yantuo's department in the "Tanchun Huan" in Chang'an City, received a report from his intelligence personnel and learned that Qin Wenyuan had led the army to the front line of Yunzhou. Based on Qin Wenyuan's actions in Chang'an City, Chunniang knew the decisiveness and courage of this young master of the Qin family's army, so she packed up and prepared to go back to Xue Yantuo's department to meet her nephew Yi, who was named Zhenzhu Khan by the Tang Dynasty. Male, to discuss how the Xue Yantuo tribe will go after the Great Tang's war against the Eastern Turks, whether they can send people to form an alliance with Qin Wenyuan, and use the advantages of both parties to completely control the large area left after the demise of the Eastern Turks.

Qin Wenyuan didn't wait for Chunniang's envoy from Xue Yantuo's department to come, but in Yunzhou City, he saw Kang Maidi, a Sogdian merchant who supplied vegetables to him in Chang'an City, and Kang Maidi, a Sogdian merchant who had business dealings with Qin's family in Licheng. Yifu, Qin Wenyuan was very surprised to see these two people. He wondered what the two men were doing at the frontier where the war was about to start. Could it be that they also had business in this place.

He called the two into the barracks for a chat, and learned that they were both from the Xi tribe of the Suwei tribe, who specialized in business between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. Bo Yegu and Luo Zhubu completed the grain transaction and prepared to part here, one to Chang'an, and the other to Licheng, Qizhou.

Qin Wenyuan and the two inquired about the folk customs of the several tribes and the conditions of the areas they occupied, and learned that under the Turkic rule, due to years of wars and natural disasters, the food, cattle, sheep, and horses of the herdsmen on the grasslands were getting worse and worse. It is no longer the scene of cattle and sheep everywhere, strong horses, and herdsmen singing and dancing in the prosperous period.

During the chat, Qin Wenyuan intentionally or unintentionally asked the two to cooperate more with the Xu family's shops, and even the Qin family could form a large caravan to accompany the two of them to and from several tribes. They are all very happy with the business, and they all say that they will have more contact with the general's business after returning home, and they are more willing to form a caravan with the Xu family to travel between the Tang Dynasty and various tribes on the grassland.

The caravan backed by such a great background is a fool, and he knows that it is a profitable business. Moreover, both of them have known that Lord Qin has no pretensions during their contact with Qin Wenyuan, and he does business fairly. Never bullying others, just imagine who wouldn't want to cooperate with such a person. Knowing that Qin Wenyuan was accompanied by Mrs. Ru this time, the two of them took out some jewelry and jade as gifts to Murphy.

The two left happily, both thinking that they could use the power of the Qin family to make some fortune on the grassland in the future, but they never thought that Qin Wenyuan wanted to use the two people's familiarity with the terrain and folk customs of this area to let the caravan join Ma San and Chen Laosan's eyeliners went deep into the interior of the grassland to perform infiltration tasks, so that they could get crucial news about the future rule of this area and make it more effective.

Just a few days after the two left, Qin Wenyuan heard the gatekeeper report that an old friend had come to visit. After the visitor came into the army tent and saw it, Qin Wenyuan joked with a playful smile.

"Couldn't Chunniang want to drive your Tanchunfang into my military camp?"

"Master Qin was joking, but Chunniang is here to do some business with the general. I wonder if the general is interested?"

"Oh! It turns out that Chunniang can do business. Chunniang might as well tell me about the business she wants to do with me, and see if I'm interested."

Seeing that it was Chun Niang, the owner of "Tanchunfang" in Chang'an City, who came in, Qin Wenyuan became more interested in the identity of this beautiful woman. When he was in Chang'an, Qin Wenyuan had doubts about the identity of this woman, but at that time he Busy with pest control and disaster relief in Chang'an City and entanglements with Changsun Wuji and others, he didn't have a detailed understanding of "Tanchunfang" for a while, and he didn't know the identity of this woman so clearly. Simple.

Unexpectedly, this woman appeared in his barracks when the Tang Dynasty was about to start the war with the Eastern Turks. This unusual meeting made Qin Wenyuan dare not imagine the identity of this woman, especially when he was with this woman. Qin Wenyuan knew that these people must have a lot of background with their self-contained arrogance and respect for this woman.

After joking around for a while, Qin Wenyuan ordered the sergeant to bring chairs for several people to sit down, but he sat upright in the position of the commander and looked at the beautiful Chun Niang, but he wanted to see what topics this beautiful woman could say that would interest him come out.

Chun Niang led the companions to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Chunniang started to talk straight to the point.

"Master Qin, a certain family is Princess Minmin, the granddaughter of Yi Shibo, the leader of the Xueyantuo tribe, and the aunt of Zhenzhu Khan Yinan. This time, on behalf of the Xueyantuo tribe, he came to discuss cooperation with General Qin. Are you interested?"

Hearing Chunniang's self-reported family background and her background, Qin Wenyuan was stunned for a while, then adjusted his mentality and said with a smile.

"I don't know how Princess Minmin wants to cooperate with the Qin family? Why don't the princess put forward your conditions first? If the Qin family can meet the requirements of the princess, there will be no problem in cooperating. If the Qin family can't do it, then talk about it." Nothing is meaningful, it doesn't matter if we meet old friends to reminisce about the old days, I don't know if the princess thinks the kid is okay?"

Hearing what Qin Wenyuan said, Chunniang joked after a trembling smile.

"It is said that the young master is as smart as a demon, but this princess thinks that the young master is not just as simple as a demon...!"

After laughing, I saw that the woman put away her laughing expression, and her face instantly changed into the appearance of those cold imperial daughters Qin Wenyuan had seen in her previous life, and then she spoke.

"Lord Qin, seeing that the Tang army is about to start a war with the East Turks, no matter whether the Tang army wins or loses in this battle, the doomed result is that the East Turks will leave many places behind in this war and cannot take care of them. All Turkic tribes will become ownerless tribes. In view of this situation, the lands of Dongshiwei, Xijinshan, South Turkic, and Beihanhai under the jurisdiction of my Xue Yantuo department may be affected by the refugees of these unowned tribes. I am afraid that the court will They will use this opportunity to take the same action against Xue Yantuo's department. Tiele people don't trust the Tang court very much. If this happens, there will never be peace on the grassland. Xue Yantuo's department needs a strong backing to support it. And the backing we have chosen is your Qin family, in return, Xue Yantuo's department will reach a comprehensive strategic cooperation with the Qin family and open up a series of people's livelihood matters such as building business with the Qin family in the areas under its jurisdiction, what do you think?"

After listening to Chunniang's story, Qin Wenyuan pondered for a long time, got up and saluted Chunniang and others, and said solemnly.

"Thank you, the princess and the heroes of Xue Yantuo's department, for looking up to my Xu family, but this matter is too big. It is not someone Qin who can be the master. Otherwise, the princess will stay in my camp for a few days and wait for Qin. How about we talk about it after writing a letter home to my father and receiving a reply?"

For this matter, Qin Wenyuan is not incapable of making decisions. Just with the more than 2 cavalry in his hands, he can achieve what Chunniang is asking for now. Isn't it to ensure that Xue Yantuo's tribe will not be affected in the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turks? Well, it's not that simple, as long as the iron cavalry under his command resist most of the Turkic remnants who fled to the area controlled by Xue Yantuo's tribe, and then make some negotiations with the generals of the Tang army, using the canonization of Xue Yantuo's tribe by the Tang court as an excuse. The Tang army will not take advantage of the victory to advance eastward and occupy areas other than Eastern Turks.

What Qin Wenyuan wants is how to persuade Xue Yantuo to submit to the Xu family, and the soldiers and civilians in the area under its jurisdiction will accept the education of the Qin family to become the agent of the Xu family on this ground, and gradually implement Qin Wenyuan's governance strategy, making him a successor. Another affluent area outside the bustling city.

Hearing Qin Wenyuan's prudent answer, Chunniang and the Xue Yantuo tribal counselor who came with her felt that it was reasonable. After all, if Qin Wenyuan immediately agreed to this matter, it would give them an unreal feeling.

"Then the princess and his subordinates quarreled with Lord Qin's military camp for a few days, and hoped that Lord Qin would give an affirmative answer soon."

Chun Niang said to Qin Wenyuan with a smile.

After Chunniang agreed, Qin Wenyuan immediately ordered the soldiers to set up two tents in the army and ask Chunniang to rest.

After Chunniang and others left Qin Wenyuan's military tent, Sima Yuntian came to the tent according to the legend of the sergeant, not knowing what the young master was doing. After sitting quietly for a while, he listened to Qin Wenyuan's report of the Xue Yantuo tribe's request to cooperate with the Xu family.

After pondering for a while, Sima Yuntian said to Qin Wenyuan.

"What plans and thoughts do you have in your heart about this matter?"

"I want to take advantage of the opportunity of Xue Yantuo's department to seek cooperation from the Xu family and combine the current situation to persuade Zhenzhu Khan Yinan to surrender to the Xu family. If this can be achieved, then we can cooperate with Xue Yantuo's department to complete the battle against Shi Wei, Mohe, and Su Wei." When the tribes in the Northeast take complete control and complete the unified pattern of this vast area, after a while, as we introduce the Central Plains culture and the Qingming administration strategy, just imagine what this area will look like in a few decades..."

"Then how will you get Xue Yantuo's tribe to submit? This matter must not be simple and must be discussed in a long-term way. Sima thinks that we might as well agree to some seemingly difficult but easy conditions for Xue Yantuo's tribe first, so that the tribe can see me. Fang’s sincerity will help us in our future military operations. Once the young master conquers a certain area to implement benevolent governance and vigorously develop the economy, who will disapprove of the people in the surrounding areas? Isn’t this right? What the people want? At that time, no one can stop it."

Hearing Sima Yuntian's analysis of the situation, Qin Wenyuan greatly appreciated Sima's thorough vision and his strategy of controlling things, but he was still a little too impatient!Isn't the so-called "haste makes waste" just referring to my mentality?

After discussing and planning with Sima Yuntian, Qin Wenyuan already had a preliminary calculation on the matter of cooperation in his heart, and realized that it would be unreliable to rely on the submission of a few tribal leaders without gaining the hearts of the majority of the people. Only when you generate prestige among the people of these tribes and let the people spontaneously support you, can you completely control the situation in this area. At that time, even if these leaders want to rebel against the Xu family, it will be useless.

I remember a great man said in the previous life: "Only the power of the common people is the greatest power in this world!"

Qin Wenyuan thought of this, so he decided to cooperate with the Xue Yantuo tribe on the premise that the Qin family must accept the Qin family's governance philosophy of developing people's livelihood and expanding commerce in an environment that protects the Xue Yantuo tribe from impact. When the Qin family army needs support, it will provide assistance unconditionally.

A few days later, Qin Wenyuan summoned Chunniang and others to discuss again. When Qin Wenyuan told the conditions of the Qin family, Chunniang couldn't believe her ears. , agreed to cooperate with the Xue Yantuo tribe completely according to his own ideas, could it be that this kid was confused by his own beauty...?
Impossible!This kid's wives and concubines are all beauties. Although he looks beautiful, he is several years older than this kid, eh!Waiting for the princess to try this kid on that day, the princess likes the boy's handsome appearance.
