The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 588 570 VII: Wuji Iron Oxen's Penalty Decides the Land of Shu ([-])
Li Yuan went back to his mansion, thinking about the candidate who was ordered to enter Sichuan, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of the suitable candidate.

While he was thinking seriously, Li Shimin stepped in.

"Daddy, what are you thinking?"

"What else can I think about! The emperor has agreed to send someone to invite the old Yue king Yang Su, Shimin! Who do you think should be sent here!"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Father, this errand makes me willing to go."

Li Yuan shook his head after hearing this.

"It's not appropriate for you to go, what's the difference between going to the mansion of King Yue of Sichuan and going to the Longtan Tiger's Den!

I only have three sons now, how could I be willing to put you in danger!
No, no, you can't go!This is absolutely impossible! "

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"Father, since you don't send me, and the idea of ​​peacefully recovering Sichuan was proposed by Duan Wuji, why don't you send him?
If he goes there, he will definitely receive unexpected results! "

After hearing this, Li Yuan asked Li Shimin, "Send him, who will take our soldiers and horses from Shaanxi!

I'm afraid your brother-in-law won't be able to do it alone! "

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"Father, I'm willing to cover up the hole Duan Wuji and the others left, so you can send them there!"

Li Yuan nodded after listening!

"Well! Alright! They'll be here in a while, and I'll talk to them after a while!

Let's see what they think about it! "

Li Shimin listened and nodded.

"Well! That's fine too!
That Duan Wuji is resourceful and resourceful, he must have good insights! "

It wasn't too long before Chai Shao, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu rode over. After the three saluted Li Yuan, Li Yuan called them into the room and told them Li Shimin's thoughts to ask them opinion!

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I came up with this bad idea, it looks like I have to do it myself this time!

My lord, after Yang Su comes back, who will lead the troops in Sichuan? "

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Wuji! Tieniu, I think you will stay in Sichuan, and lead the troops in Sichuan for the time being!

Promise!Are you sure you will regain Sichuan? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Who dares to say this! Let's try it and we'll know!
My lord, I have a treasure that can bring King Nayue back to the capital! "

Li Yuan was refreshed when he heard this.

"What treasure! Tell me quickly!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "In my home, there are more than ten jars of good wine.

I made it with Cordyceps and safflower and other good things. Each jar of wine is worth a thousand gold!

This time I took it there and dedicated it to the king of Nayue, Yang Su.After the old prince got the fine wine, he would definitely be willing to return home! "

Li Yuan smiled.

"Well, that's good! Let me borrow this fine wine from you! After the world is settled down, I will definitely repay you double!"

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "I will write a letter to my father, you can send someone to pick it up.

When the medicinal wine arrives, I will set off immediately, and I will never delay a day! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji picked up a pen and paper from the table, wrote a letter to his father little by little, and handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan immediately ordered Li Shimin to send a fast horse with [-] miles to go to Duanjiazhuang to fetch fine wine!

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Wuji! If you need anything else, just tell me!"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "My lord, you can't let me go empty-handed this time!
No matter what, you have to prepare some souvenirs for me, how can you enter the Yueyi scholar Yang Sumen with these two empty hands! "

Li Yuan nodded after listening.

"Well! I know about this. I will prepare the presents for you in a few days. After the presents are all prepared, you can go on your way!"

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Okay! Then let's get ready to go when we go back. Once the presents are all in place, we'll be on our way immediately.

Don't worry, my lord!Within three or four months, this Sichuan will definitely be recovered! "

Li Yuan nodded and smiled.

"If we win Sichuan again, our power will increase by more than one-third! At that time, it will be much easier for us to send troops to Henan and take the Central Plains directly.

If all the places in Henan and Hebei are captured again, the world will be sure! "

The three of Chai and Shao stood up to leave, but Li Yuan stopped them with his hand.

"Don't leave any of you today, let's have another meal together!

This meal is also my farewell bar for you, you must eat it. "

Several people gathered around the table to eat, Duan Wuji and Tieniu got up and said goodbye, they only prepared the gift and set off early.

Eight or nine days later, Li Yuan came to inform Duan Wuji and the others that the gifts had been prepared.

They can go on the road tomorrow, and before leaving, Chai Shao served them the wine of practice.

The three brothers are drinking and talking at the same time!

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Brother, you and I are separated, I don't know when we will meet again!

bring it on!Let's drink this wine to the full and see you later! "

After the banquet, the three of them went back to the station to rest.

In the morning of the next day, Li Yuan dispatched [-] cavalry soldiers to Duan Wuji. Duan Wuji and Tieniu brought more than a dozen carts of gifts and led the team to Sichuan with the imperial decree.

Along the way, hungry and thirsty, Xiaoxing stayed overnight. After more than ten days of walking, the team finally arrived in Chengdu, Sichuan.

The Chengdu area is a land of abundance, surrounded by ten thousand hectares of fertile land, and the people are rich and dense.

After Duan Wuji and Tie Niu led the team into Chengdu City, they stayed in the post house. Duan Wuji and Tie Niu took the imperial decree and rushed straight to the palace of Yue Wang Yang Su. Please wait outside the gate of the mansion to send your prayers.

It wasn't too long, and the soldiers guarding the gate sent word that the King of Yue, Qiansui, let them in.

Duan Wuji smiled at Tieniu, and immediately ordered the soldiers to go straight to Nayue Palace with souvenirs and fine wine.

Entering the hall of Prince Yue's Mansion, I saw the old prince sitting on a chair drinking tea.

Duan Wuji bowed his hands when he saw it.

"The prince is thousands of years old, Duan Wuji has come to see the prince according to the imperial decree.

Chitose of the Wang family, how are you doing now? "

The old prince shook his head.

"The Lonely King is getting older, and his body is gradually failing, and he just lingers on for a few years.

You two, since you came here for an order, don't you know what's going on with the Holy Spirit? "

Duan Wuji put the imperial decree on the table, and said with a smile: "The Holy Majesty is concerned about the health of the Wang family's Chitose, and ordered me to come and visit, Wang's Chitose, this time I brought you several jars of medicinal wine. After you drink it, You will definitely regain your energy!"

Yue King Yang Su smiled wryly after hearing this and said, "Thank you for your kindness, life, old age, sickness and death are laws that no one can stop!

Old man, I have governed Sichuan for many years. Although I have not made any great achievements, this Sichuan is still considered pinto.

Nowadays, where the world is relatively flat, there are only two territories left by Li Yuan and me.

In other places, the flames of war are everywhere, and the people are in dire straits!

The old man felt that he was worthy of the late emperor. My nephew was killed in Yangzhou, and that was his own fault!

If he doesn't wait for this capital city, why visit Yangzhou!In the end, he was killed by Na Yu Wenhuaji.

Fortunately, Tang Guogong Li Yuan led the army to avenge him.

Otherwise, how can we as courtiers feel better? "

Duan Wuji likes to climb along the pole, what Yang Wang said, Duan Wuji nodded and said yes!

When Yue Wang Yang Su saw Duan Wuji being so docile, his impression of him improved a lot!

The old prince looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Tell me, what does the emperor mean by sending you here this time!

Just tell me what it is!The old man is the uncle of the emperor, no, he is the grandfather of the emperor now, there is no need to kneel down to accept the order. "

Duan Wuji looked at Yue King Yang Su and said: "Old Qiansui, the emperor misses you very much now, he wants you to go back to the capital to retire, the weather in our capital is pleasant, not as humid and gloomy as in Sichuan!

In that capital city, where the sun is abundant and the climate is not bad, the Wang family is thousands of years old, why don't you live a few more years in that place! "

Yue Wang Yang Su smiled when he heard this.

"To be honest, old man, I have long since returned to the heart of the capital!

It's just to whom do I hand over the military power of Shu!
Old man, I have fought all my life, so I should take a good rest. "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, let you temporarily hand over the military power to me, and let me take care of it for a while."

Yue Wang Yang Su nodded.

"Well! That's fine! It's just that the old man is not in good health recently, so I'm afraid it will work!"

Duan Wuji was frustrated when he heard this, and made a fuss for a long time. Isn't this talking for nothing!well!This is a mess!

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Wang family Qiansui, I have brought you some good wine under the order of Long Live, these are the good wines soaked in Chinese caterpillar fungus, tiger bone and other medicinal materials!

I still have some local products from our hometown, the list is here, you can also take a look! "

As he said that, Duan Wuji handed over the gift list prepared in advance.

The old prince laughed when he saw it.

"The old man has no other hobbies in his life, that is, he likes to drink a few cups.

Your Majesty has brought me good wine, I have to accept it no matter what!

Imperial envoy, let's have a few drinks with him later! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well! That's good! Then I will accompany the prince to drink a few cups with him."
