Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 455: Steppe Turkic News
In addition, Lu Chengqing thought of many ways, but in the end he felt that the possibility of success was not great.And now he can't represent Fan Yang Lu's family, so he is not qualified to talk to Prince Li Zhiyun at all.

If there are children from the Hebei family in Shence Mansion, he can find a way to get rid of the relationship, but the problem is that few children from the Hebei family are loyal to the prince.

Therefore, they can only rely on themselves now.

After listening to the elder brother's words, Lu Chengsi said thoughtfully: "If you want to do this, you have to find a way to win the support of Xue Wanjun and others. At present, Luo Yi's soldiers and horses, except for him who has the most control, are second-class. They are the Xue brothers."

Lu Chengqing asked: "Luo Yi appointed you as a secretary to join the army, how will you be treated?"

"Hmph." Lu Chengsi said with a sneer, "This man is ambitious, and he uses me just to gain Lu's support. He rarely involves me in any major event."

"Is that so?" Lu Chengqing took a deep breath, shook his wrist, and said, "Can you contact the Xue brothers?"

"It's difficult." Lu Chengsi said calmly, "The Xue brothers are often in the army and have little contact with me."

Hearing this, Lu Chengqing's face was gloomy.

The two brothers were silent for a long time.

Lu Chengsi said: "Brother, actually, I think there is another way. It might not be possible to get the prince's understanding."

"any solution?"

"Brother, think about it, if the imperial court wins Youzhou in the future, we will definitely use our Lu family to stabilize Youzhou. If we can persuade the Lu family's children in the counties of Youzhou, or the county magistrates who are close to the Lu family, say Maybe the crown prince will too."

"This is not enough." Lu Chengqing sighed and said, "I have also considered this method, but it is not as good as us directly dedicating Youzhou to the imperial court."

Hearing this, Lu Chengsi said irritably: "This is not okay, that is not okay, this new prince, we have never been familiar with, who knows what he wants!"

"Don't worry, calm down." Lu Chengqing taught: "We are now trying to find a way to save father, the more anxious we are, the less likely we will succeed."

"But what shall we do?"

"Convince the Xue brothers to capture Luo Yi alive and hand it over to Chang'an!"

"But we have a casual acquaintance with Mrs. Xue."

"Then find a way to have a deep friendship!" Lu Chengqing said firmly.

In the north of Youzhou, within the territory of the Xi people.

There are thick tents densely covered with stars.

He came riding on snow and stopped in front of the golden tent.The knight was wrapped in sheepskin, with only a pair of eyes exposed. He opened the curtain and walked in.

"Khan!"

Tuli Khan Shibobi raised his head, revealing a haggard face.

"You're back, association rate."

"Yes Khan."

The association rate lifted the sheepskin, revealing a face with a hideous knife wound on it.

"What did Gao Kaidao say?"

"He doesn't want to help us." The leader of the association sat down and said bitterly, "I heard that he traded a lot of grain with the Khitan people this year."

Shibobi pursed his lips and cursed loudly.

Since he went south in the fourth year of Wude, and he reached a deal with Li Zhiyun in the fifth year of Wude, and returned to the Xi family after returning to the army, Shibobi's life has become more and more difficult every day.

At the beginning, seeing Xieli in deep quagmire in Bingzhou, he was very proud and planned to attack Xieli's rear.

But soon, Xieli reached a settlement with Tang Jun and returned to the grassland.

Then, he suffered.

Jieli attacked him crazily, beating him so badly that he lost his helmet and armor, and had to lead his tribe to hide in the Xi tribe.

And the culprit of all this is Li Zhiyun!

He lied to himself!
The rate of association continued: "I heard from Gao Kaidao that there was a change in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zhiyun became the prince."

"What?!" Shi Bobi was startled, "How could this be? According to the rules of the Tang people, shouldn't the crown prince be the son of the eldest son? Li Zhiyun is not the son of the eldest son. Could it be that he killed Li Jiancheng?"

"No, he didn't kill Li Jiancheng. I heard that Li Jiancheng conspired against him, and Li Zhiyun led troops to protect Tang Emperor. That's why he was canonized as the prince."

"Hmph." Shi Bobi sneered, "Li Zhiyun is dishonest and sinister. Maybe he designed Li Jian to rebel, and then he is good at what the Tang people said, so what kind of fisherman's profit?"

"The profit of the fisherman." The association rate added.

"Yes, that must be the case."

The association said: "No matter what, we can't do anything about Li Zhiyun now, we have to find a way to survive the winter first."

They were beaten badly by Jieli, most of their cattle and sheep were taken away, and there were not many tribes left. This winter was quite difficult.

Shi Bobi said harshly: "Gao Kaidao has colluded with Khitan, let's not deal with him yet, let's go grab Youzhou!"

This is also their usual practice, grab what you don't eat!

If you can't grab the prairie people, then go grab the Han people!
Chang'an, Chu Palace.

Snowflakes fall and silver lights shine.

creak.

The sliding door was opened, and Li Zhiyun was wrapped in a cloak, standing on the porch.

"Shibobi is really useless. All the Eastern tribes are in his hands. In addition, Jieli lost troops and lost generals in Bingzhou. He can't beat Jieli. He really can't help him."

Li Zhen stepped forward and said softly: "Your Highness calm down, maybe Xieli is stronger."

Li Zhiyun is silent, he will not deny the powerful opponent Turkic, let alone underestimate Xieli, the evil wolf.

"Any other news?"

"The road was blocked by heavy snow, our people could not follow the caravan out of the fortress, and went to the grassland to inquire about news."

"Forget it, let them stand by."

"Yes." Li Zhen bowed and stepped back slowly.

Li Zhiyun frowned, a little worried about the situation in the north.

In his plan, he hoped that Shi Bobi could delay a little longer, giving him more time to accumulate strength.

But now it seems that the victory or defeat on the grassland should be announced next year.

Once the grasslands are unified again, the pressure on the northern border will suddenly increase.

Maybe, something should be done.

At this moment, a small snowball hit his feet, interrupting his train of thought.

Looking up, I saw Li Chengjing and Shunniang playing not far away.

The corners of Li Zhiyun's mouth curled up slightly, and he exhaled whitely.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Steppe, Turkic.

It's time to consider taking action against them.

At this moment, the crown princess came with an umbrella.Walking up to him, he bowed gracefully.

Li Zhiyun stretched out his hand to support her, and then wiped the snowflakes off her shoulders.

"It's so cold, why don't you stay indoors."

"It's hot, come out to breathe."

"Is Zhaoer okay?" Li Zhiyun asked.

When winter came, Xiao Chengzhao felt a little uncomfortable, and the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated him, saying that he was suffering from the cold.

The crown princess nodded, "With the firehouse that Alang asked to build, Zhao'er is already much better."

The so-called fire house means that the surrounding house is an earth bed, and the fire is under it.

The walls of the entire house are made of special bricks, with gaps left during construction to facilitate the transfer of temperature when the fire is fired.There is also an air guide channel outside to prevent pyrotechnic gas from entering the room.Right now, the wives in various courtyards of the palace are asking Li Zhiyun to build one for them.

Li Zhiyun said reassuringly, "Zhao'er is always in good health, so it's probably okay this time. But you still have to pay more attention, and remind the servants to be careful when taking care of her. In addition, drink less cold water in winter, and always use boiling water for drinking."

"Yes, my concubine remembered."

Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "You also need to pay attention to yourself, take good care of your body, we may have another child next year."

Hearing this, the Crown Princess rolled his eyes at him, and gently snuggled into his arms.

She loved being with her husband like this, especially when it was just the two of them.

Warm and nostalgic.
