The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 611
How is Zhang Lejin going to tell Meng Shelong that it is his own business, although Li Muyun has restrained his temper a lot after his rebirth, but he still lacks compassion, besides, the tyrants in this kind of place don't have hundreds of lives in their hands?Even if there is compassion, it will not be used on them.

A few days later, Meng Shelong really came. To Li Muyun's surprise, this guy only brought ten guards. I don't know if Zhang Lejin didn't explain the situation, or he was confident.

"King Xiaoyao is so courageous, Mengshelong admires him!" As soon as they met, Mengshelong followed the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty and first cupped his hands at Li Muyun who was sitting on the lobby, laughing boldly.

"Old Meng, I'm overwhelmed!" Li Muyun also bowed his hand and waved to Tian Yuhe who was standing at the door: "Xiaotian, let's throw a banquet!"

"No!" Tian Yuhe bowed slightly, his cold eyes swept over the people who came in, and turned away.

Originally a good young man with a quiet personality, after following Li Muyun for a month, his personality has been completely changed, and his eyes are full of unruliness.

As a scholar, no one knows how he persisted in Baili that day, but after running for thousands of miles, his original gentle and gentle personality has been somewhat changed, replaced by the tenacity that belongs to a soldier.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who had such a change. Li Muyun's twenty-odd students were basically the same. They ate, lived and mixed with those ordinary soldiers, and both sides were infecting each other.

At the beginning, these students couldn't keep up with the speed of the team, so they ran along in the morning every day, and were carried by the soldiers in turn in the afternoon. Moreover, because of their lack of experience, they often led the soldiers in the wrong direction.

It was their fault, they didn't deny it, but those big soldiers didn't say anything. If they made a mistake, they would be wrong. At worst, they would turn around and walk again. They were a little tired, but since these young soldiers can endure hardships, What can those big soldiers say if they persist for a day.

And the more this happened, the more the student soldiers felt sorry for those big soldiers, so during that period of time, no matter who carried them, they would agree to write a letter home for them, although it was nothing to them Great event, but at least it made these young people feel better.

That's it, the student soldiers and the chief soldiers were fused together, they infected each other and helped each other, the character of the student soldiers gradually became cheerful and pleasant, and they began to speak foul language, and those chief soldiers also began to Ask them for some knowledge, such as how to write your own name and so on.

And now, in addition to the non-combat attrition of nearly a thousand people in the first ten days of the 1-person army, almost everyone in the remaining 9000 people can know a hundred or so words. What's even more rare is that they not only know, but also can write .

If Li Er organizes a military examination now, the team under Li Muyun will be the most educated army in Datang.

The book returned to the main story, but it said that Tian Yuhe, who was acting as a temporary housekeeper, quickly brought up the food prepared later and filled a large table.

Li Muyun also exchanged greetings with Meng Shelong at this time, and invited him to the table.

Meng Shelong was not ambiguous, he really had the true qualities of a hero, he was not polite after serving the table, he should eat and drink, and he didn't suspect that Li Muyun poisoned the food at all.

Li Muyun looked a little funny, and accompanied him to eat a few mouthfuls of every dish, and when he was done eating and drinking, he opened up the chatterbox and said, "Old Meng, you must know the purpose of my coming here, right?"

Meng Shelong wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said grinningly: "I know, that kid Zhang Lejin has already said it all. Since the purpose of the prince is to see me, now that I have come, shouldn't Zhang Lejin's son be let go?" .”

Li Muyun smiled and said: "This is not a problem, if Lao Meng is willing, you can take him away in a while."

Meng Shelong is also straightforward, without those so-called twists and turns, he took up the conversation straightforwardly and said: "Then let's talk about the things between us. If I'm not wrong, the purpose of the prince's visit should be Countering the rebellion? I don't know where the prince plans to start?"

What made Meng Shelong a little confused was that Li Muyun chuckled: "Hehe, put down the rebellion? Is there a rebellion here?"

To be honest, this question made Meng Shelong somewhat at a loss as to how to answer it. It is obviously inappropriate to say yes, because that is looking for death. To admit that you are a rebel in front of the first-rank county king in front of the court is completely suicidal road.

But let's say no, according to Mengshelong's character, he can't say it. Besides, those officials were killed under his order. If it is not a rebellion, someone must believe it.

Seeing that Meng Shelong was silent, Li Muyun clicked his tongue and continued: "Speaking of conscience, what the court needs is a stable Jiannan Road, and His Majesty doesn't want to kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood here. After all, everyone belongs to the Tang Dynasty Although the people are not of the same nationality, we all have the same skin color and the same language.”

"It's like being in a big family. Although there are different branches, they all share a common ancestor. If we fight back and forth ourselves, it will only make outsiders laugh at us. Don't you deny that?"

Li Muyun's point of view was too advanced, Meng Shelong became more and more confused the more he listened, circles of threads began to appear in his eyes, he murmured after thinking for a long time: "But, I killed many Han officials, how will the prince explain it?" at this point?"

Li Muyun pointed to the south: "Of course it was Annan's spy work. They incited the people in Jiannan to make troubles. The purpose was to go north to the Central Plains and take advantage of Tubo's entry into Kou Song Prefecture to expand their territory."

Meng Shelong's face changed several times, his face sank like water, and he asked puzzledly: "What is the purpose of the lord helping me like this? Meng Shelong thinks that he doesn't have such a big face. If the lord doesn't say something today Make it clear, I will never let it go."

This is really crazy, why do I always meet stubborn donkeys!Li Muyun sighed, and said earnestly: "I remember this king said just now that the court needs a peaceful and stable Jiannan Road, and this king's task is to keep one side safe."

Meng Shelong doesn't have so many fancy intestines in his stomach. This person hasn't read many books, let alone political talent. Hearing this, he immediately asked: "Then the prince can be killed. If I guess right, the mountain There should be nearly [-] horses of the prince, killing this one can be done once and for all, so why make excuses for this one?"

For Meng Shelong's stubbornness, Li Muyun had to express his admiration. He lowered his head and thought for a while before slowly opening his mouth and asking: "Old Meng, I just want to ask you one thing. What do you want to do after killing officials and rebelling? It's for the sake of the bureaucrats." Are the people still looking for your own glory and wealth?"

"This..." Meng Shelong hesitated. To be honest, he hadn't thought about this issue until now. At the beginning, he led people to do it when he got excited. Later, he heard that more and more people killed officials. Come on. More and more people defected to him, until he reached the point where he couldn't stop.

So rather than saying that Mengshelong took the initiative to rebel, it is better to say that he was forced to come to this point by the situation involuntarily.

Seeing his hesitation, Li Muyun was not in a hurry to ask him to answer. He personally poured a glass of high-quality grape wine for him and himself, took them up and shook them in his hands, and said, "This is grape wine from the Western Regions. It has been aged for 20 years. If there is a fight, this thing will never appear in Jiannan Road again."

After all, without waiting for Meng Shelong to speak, he pointed to the guards he brought: "The clothes and swords on their bodies will also not appear in Jiannan Road after they fight, which means that you can only wear them in the future." hides, and hunt with gear of bone or stone."

"Of course, if you are used to it, you can also eat in basins made of stones and sleep in beds made of stones. The concept of rich clothes and rich food will only appear in dreams."

"Also, what you will face is the [-] strong army of the Tang Dynasty, [-] soldiers armed to the teeth. They are proficient in jungle warfare, know how to avoid your traps, and know your hunting habits. They will guard all the water sources. , driving you little by little into desperation."

"Your crops will be burned, your children will cry because of hunger, adult men will be captured and sold as slaves, and women will be sold as reproductive tools to the Mobei Grassland and the Western Regions. As for the elderly, they can be used In exchange for military merit."

"As for me, I will use your heads to make meritorious deeds, and I will exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth with each of the capitals. I will sit on a chair made of gold, drink wine from the Western Regions, and eat fruits from the southern Xinjiang. Dance with the prairie singer from Mobei, if I have time, maybe I will ask if you are still alive."

Meng Shelong began to sweat coldly on his forehead. He believed that Li Muyun would definitely do what he said. In the face of absolute strength, any courage is bullshit.

He, Mengshelong, is not afraid of death, nor are his people, but not being afraid of death does not mean that he is not afraid of death. His soldiers are only [-] at best, but what about Datang?Such a large country seems to have no trouble mobilizing a hundred thousand troops.

As for jungle warfare, since Li Muyun was able to appear in front of him with 1 people without anyone noticing it, it was enough to show that Tang Jun did not have the ability to fight in the jungle. It was just that he was ignorant and thought Tang Jun had no such ability.

Finally, Mengshelong didn't dare to think any more, put his hand on the scimitar at his waist, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You, you are a demon, a demon from hell, if you If you really do this, you will definitely die badly, even if I do a ghost, I will not let you go."

"Relax, relax, I just mentioned one possibility, and you forced me to say it." Li Muyun waved his hand with a smile, raised the glass in his hand, then raised his head to drink the wine, licked Licking off the bright red wine left at the corners of his mouth, he looked like a ferret just after eating.

Meng Shelong stared at Li Muyun, his eyes no longer had the calmness at the beginning, his trembling right hand revealed his inner struggle, as if he was considering whether to kill the demon in front of him.

Su Wanqing, who had always been by Li Muyun's side, also stepped forward at this time, staring at Meng Shelong with a calm expression, and would immediately take him down if he made a slight movement.

Only Li Muyun remained the same, put down the empty wine glass, and patted Su Wanqing's arm to signal her to back away, then looked at Meng Shelong and said: "Then let's talk about the second way, you are honest If you are obedient, push this matter to the Annan people, and then take the initiative to lead troops to fight against injustice."

"I don't care what the battle is like, I don't care how many Annan people I killed, but there is one thing, there is a kind of three-season rice in Annan, you need to get that thing back, and then present it to the emperor. Of course, I will pass it on for you. It's not impossible."

"In addition, because of your meritorious service in countering the rebellion, this king will persuade His Majesty to make you a Jiannan king or something. You can enjoy everything you know. The wine in the Western Regions can make you drink until you die. The beauties of the grassland count as one day. Changing one is enough for your grandson to start a family and start a business, and as for the delicacies from Datang, you can eat one portion and another one.”

"Also, those who follow you and want to get ahead, those who have sacrificed their lives for you, they will be rewarded. Of course, those who disobey you, you need to kill, and I also need their heads to go back to work, after all This king came to Jiannan Dao once, so you can’t just do nothing, you can kill these people directly, or you can set up a trap and let my people kill them, it doesn’t matter.”

"The last point, I will provide your people with several jobs. As long as they come to work, they will be paid their wages, so that they don't have to worry about survival. Datang officials will come forward to preside over this matter, so you will have one more job in the future." One job is to ensure the safety of those Datang officials."

Li Muyun finished speaking in a leisurely manner, and then ignored Meng Shelong, as if he had already decided how he would choose.

And Mengshelong was moved by what he said at the end, and he was also caught in a tangle.

He is not a fool who only knows how to kill people regardless of the consequences, otherwise he would not be able to bring a dozen people to the appointment, but the second condition Li Muyun said is so superior that Meng Shelong had never thought about it before. .

In his opinion, no matter how easy Li Muyun was to talk, he would probably make some harsh demands, such as handing over the murderer, paying for his life and so on.

But looking at it now, Li Muyun simply gave him a big gift. Not only did he not pursue the crime of rebellion, but on the contrary, he gave him bad benefits.

Doesn't this mean that he was justified in rebelling and meritorious in killing officials?So which side is this Xiaoyao Wang?Could this guy have revenge on those Jiannan Road officials who killed their father?Otherwise why be so generous!
