Great Tang princess

The Limo tribe is not far from the border. It is a very small tribe with only about [-] people.

It took only three days for Li Yuechen to lead the army here. Facing an army of [-], the chief of the Limo tribe declared his surrender without any resistance.

Of course, Li Yuechen didn't intend to beat them, but sent someone to call the chieftain to the barracks, invited him to dinner and tea, and chatted about future development issues by the way.

"Now this place is my Great Zhou territory. Do you have any objections to living in accordance with the laws of the Great Zhou in the future?" Li Yuechen asked calmly while holding a teacup.

Although the tone was calm, but now the [-] army has completely surrounded his tribe, and he has no right to refuse at all.

The chief obediently agreed: "Naturally, I don't dare to raise any objections. I just dare to ask Your Highness. There is no farming here. How will we spend the winter?"

"This year, the imperial court can provide you with food. You need to exchange it with livestock and animal skins. At the same time, it can teach you how to cultivate fields..." Li Yuechen revealed his plan.

As for whether the land in the northeast can be cultivated, she has no doubts at all.

More than a thousand years later, rice in Northeast China has become popular all over the country. How could it be impossible to cultivate it?It's just that it takes some time to cultivate it.

As far as they are concerned, it may not be that they have not tried it before, but there are endless wars on the grassland, and the reclaimed land is not guaranteed, so naturally they cannot continue.

In the future, they will no longer need to live a life of migration. In this way, not only can they reclaim fields, but they can even build villages and even cities here.

Once the life is stable, according to the people of this era, there will definitely be more children, and the population will also be relatively stable in the future.

After listening to Li Yuechen's explanation, the chief of Li Mo tribe agreed without any objection.

Firstly, he has no strength to resist at all, and secondly, he has no reason to refuse what the princess said, and he also wants everyone in the tribe to live a good life.

If you can stabilize here, you don't need to move around, you should be able to live the same life as the Han people, right?
……

In this way, during the pleasant conversation, the two sides reached a consensus that the land of Li Mobu was planned to be within the territory of Da Zhou.

Although it is only a verbal agreement at present, Li Yuechen believes that as he goes deep into the grassland this time, he will definitely be able to make this agreement stronger and stronger.

After three generations, this place can completely and completely become the territory of the Great Zhou.

After getting here, the army turned around and went to the Wuluo Guard Department.

This tribe is relatively large, a little north of Changchun, with a total population of about [-], which is considered a relatively powerful tribe.

The only difference is that because it is very close to the territory of the Han people, there is a lot of cultivated land. They generally do not need to migrate, and they will learn from the Han people to grow food. Coupled with the characteristics of the nomads, relatively speaking, It is still a relatively wealthy tribe.

Before entering Wuluohu's territory, the soldiers in charge of security had already discovered the dark army and immediately notified the chief.

When Li Yuechen came to Wuluohu's territory, tens of thousands of cavalry had already lined up, waiting here.

The army stopped, and the distance between the two sides was less than one kilometer. Li Yuechen jumped off his horse and stretched his waist.

In the past few days, I have been sitting on horseback most of the time. Except for the regular exercise every morning, other exercises have been reduced a lot, and I feel that my body is not used to it.

"Your Highness, is the other party's move intended to resist?" asked a lieutenant general.

"Should not have such courage." Geng Yunqiang shook his head, "His Royal Highness's reputation is known to everyone in the world, and this move is only to prevent accidents."

Just as he was talking, a messenger suddenly ran over: "Your Highness, Urohu sent an envoy to ask for an audience."

"Bring it to my tent!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, and then brought Geng Yunqiang and other officers to his tent.

Li Shouli and others were still sitting in the spectator seats behind, observing and studying.

After a short time, the envoy came to the tent after being searched, half-kneeled on the ground as soon as he entered, and saluted with his right hand on his chest: "I have seen Her Royal Highness."

"Excuse me, give me a seat!" Li Yuechen, who was sitting opposite, waved his hand.

After the envoy sat down, he carefully looked at the princess in front of him. She was tall and fair-skinned, and she was far from the tall and thick in the legend.

However, she was dressed in a red robe and her appearance with a ponytail was exactly the same as in the legend.

At this time, the princess was crossing her legs and propping her chin with one hand, looking at this side seemingly bored, which is indeed a bit sensual.

This image really doesn't look like a royal princess, but the style of a veteran in the battlefield.

During the process of the two sides looking at each other, Li Yuechen spoke first: "The envoy came from a long way, presumably not to see the appearance of this palace?"

"Your Highness looks like a fairy, the villain is fascinated by it for a while, and I hope His Highness will forgive me!"

This sudden flattery made Li Yuechen feel a little funny. Although this person's Chinese has an extremely strong accent, it is obvious that he also knows that Han people have the rule of not reaching out and hitting people with smiling faces.

"The envoy might as well tell me, what questions do you have when you come here at this time?"

"Dare to ask Your Highness, at this moment, you are leading an army to surround our tribe, but you want to use force?"

Li Yuechen picked up the teacup with a smile: "If Ben Gong answers that you are indeed so, what should you do?"

The envoy was silent for two seconds, and then said: "Although our department considers itself to be absolutely no match for His Highness, there are many warriors in our department. Even if Your Highness is the god of war, it will never be easy to take down our department!"

Speaking of this, there was a change of subject: "Our department has not had any conflicts with the Han people in these years. I really can't think of the reason for His Highness to suddenly launch troops at this time."

Li Yuechen leaned on the back of the chair and answered: "Not at this time, but has it ever been in the past? It may not be in the future! Since ancient times, the people on the border have been in danger of swords and soldiers. To end this risk."

Hearing her words, the emissary, who was about forty years old with a face full of vicissitudes, was silent for a while: "If His Highness believes it, the Wuluo Guards can immediately migrate, go deep into the grassland, and never approach the border of the Great Zhou."

However, Li Yuechen shook his head: "Now you have arable land here, if you migrate at this time, the population in the ministry may starve to death..."

Of course the envoy also knew this truth, but the problem is that the Wuluo Hubu can't compete with the princess now, and it is better to die some people than to die.

At the critical moment, as long as there are some fires to continue, we can't expect to really fight this princess.

But Li Yuechen didn't finish his sentence: "Since this is the case, why don't you listen to my opinion. In the future, this place will belong to the territory of the Great Zhou, and you are all the people of the Great Zhou. The imperial court can send people to help you cultivate more land here. Fields, to help you build a village..."

Her plan is not complicated, obviously, this is to interrupt the annexation of the Wuluohubu.

However, the conditions are not harsh, and there is no need to kill the current leader. It is just a brand new system reform.

After hearing this, the envoy was silent for a while: "This matter, the villain can't decide, please allow me to go back and discuss with the Great Khan..."

"Naturally!" Li Yuechen smiled and nodded in agreement, "This palace is waiting for five days. If you don't get a satisfactory answer after five days, then you will order an attack!"

What he said was not serious at all, and his tone was very relaxed, but no one dared to doubt the truth of what he said.

After eating, the envoy saluted and prepared to leave.

Li Yuechen gave him two altars of high-grade baijiu to take back, saying it was a gift from him to the chief, hoping they would make the right choice.

In fact, this is already a threat from Chi Guoguo, but there is no way, now Li Yuechen has no time to spend here with them, and now she needs time.

……

After the envoy left, Li Yuechen saw Li Shouli's puzzled face, and waved to him: "Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Why didn't Auntie do it directly?" Li Shouli asked, "Otherwise, even if they agreed due to the formality at this time, they might not agree..."

Li Yuechen was very pleased that he could think of this, nodded slightly, and then replied: "Actually, what you said is right. But you have to understand that if you want to be respected, strong force is only a part of it."

"What is the other part?"

"Benevolence and righteousness!" Li Yuechen replied with a light smile, "The two complement each other. Only benevolence and righteousness are cowardice, and only force is tyranny. The rule of only one will definitely not last long!"

Li Linghui on the side raised his hand and said, "I know! My aunt once said that the former Sui Dynasty was destroyed because of tyranny."

Li Yuechen nodded: "That's right, if you want the world to be stable, you need to be united. We need to let the old have something to rely on, the young to be raised, men to have jobs, and women to have a home..."

Listening to her narration, the group of people sitting next to her felt chills in their backs.

This kind of way of governing the country, which is supposed to be learned only by princes, was actually used by her to educate ordinary royal children in such a large audience, and she didn't avoid them!

Geng Yunqiang and the others were relatively calm. After all, the princess would always say something similar when she was fine. Even in the schools of the military camp, books like "Emperor Fan" were used as one of the teaching materials aboveboard, and they were quite used to it. up.

But the lieutenants who followed Tong Xing felt their lips tremble a little. Hearing this kind of thing, he wouldn't be silenced, right?
In fact, Li Yuechen really doesn't care about this. Popularizing education is essentially to spread knowledge.In the future, ordinary people will also learn similar knowledge.

Even if they hear it, they won't do anything.

More than a thousand years later, the art of slaying the dragon was written in the textbook openly, and nothing happened.

……

The time limit given by Li Yuechen was five days, but only on the third day, the envoy of the Wuluo Ministry brought back the answer from there.

"Your Highness, we can accept it. But it's too easy, it's too child's play. My tribe respects the strong, and I dare to ask Your Highness, if you can defeat the strongest warrior in our tribe, I will accept His Highness's condition!"

This kind of answer made everyone feel a little surprised. Li Yuechen didn't expect that he could accept it as long as there was a fight?It's too easy.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. After all, the grasslands also have a strong sense of martial arts, so it's normal to make a decision in this way.

Everyone else had the same idea, but Geng Yunqiang and the others still felt a little angry.

It's normal to want to fight generals, but it also depends on whether you are worthy or not!

In the one-on-one fight with His Highness back then, one was the number one expert in Tubo, and the other was the number one expert in Turkic. No matter how you say it, they were both regarded as the top experts in the country, and they really had the qualifications.

But you, a small tribe with tens of thousands of people, dare to make such a request, why is your face so big?
After all, as the saying goes, soldier against soldier, general against general, if you want to challenge His Highness one-on-one, you have to be at least the same level.

Geng Yunqiang immediately slapped the table and stood up abruptly: "Presumptuous! You want to challenge His Highness even with your small Wuluo guard? Geng will first see if you are qualified!"

Not to mention him, even the lieutenants from Fuyu City, and even Wang Wuqiong standing beside him glared at the messenger, as if he couldn't help but want to kill someone.

It seems that as long as Li Yuechen says a word, they are willing to lead the team to level the Wuluohu Department.

The messenger also knew that this request was a little too much. Seeing the expression of a group of people in the tent who seemed to be eating people, he felt that today might be a bad day, but he still resisted and did not take back what he just said. He just sat on the spot and closed his eyes, waiting. Watching the princess's hair fall.

Li Yuechen didn't say anything, just waved his hand lightly and said: "Okay, Lao Geng, you sit down first. Since you want to use the future to solve it, I can agree!"

"Your Highness!" Geng Yunqiang stopped him, "How could this be..."

"Okay!" Li Yuechen stopped, "If it can be solved in this way, why bother to fight? I know what you are thinking, but if I personally take action, it can reduce the casualties of our soldiers, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Hearing this sentence, Fuyu City's several lieutenants who followed were a little surprised. It is said that His Highness loves his subordinates, so it should be true.

Fighting the Wuluo Hubu now, even though this is a war that will never be lost, it is impossible for all the soldiers under him to die.

From Li Yuechen's point of view, it's really worth it to reduce the casualties of his soldiers, and the price is only to improve the face of Wu Luohu, isn't it?
Seeing that Li Yuechen agreed, the envoy also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you Your Highness! If that's the case, I'll go back and prepare later."

"Well," Li Yuechen nodded, "Then tomorrow, the palace will advance a mile, and the two armies will fight in front of the battle. Do you have any objections?"

"It's up to His Highness to decide!"

……

After the envoy left, the atmosphere in the tent was a little silent, and it was Li Shouyi who spoke first: "Even if my aunt wins, what if they rebel afterward?"

The others also nodded secretly, waiting for Li Yuechen's answer.After all, the power of personal force has a limited deterrent effect after all.

Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, general, I just don't want our soldiers to suffer meaningless casualties. As long as they have a live ammunition exercise with artillery and grenades before leaving, they won't have any rebellious heart."

"In this case, why does my aunt still..."

"You guys, remember!" Li Yuechen said with a serious face, "Soldiers can die, but they must die to be worthwhile! When you become officers in the future, you must also remember that the sacrifices of your soldiers must not be meaningless! "
