bastard seizes tang

Chapter 791
When Qin Ling and Li Kezuo finished their confrontation, walked out of the main hall, and walked on the dragon path of Daming Palace, Qin Ling's head was still a little dizzy.

To be honest, the main purpose of Qinling's coming to see Li Ke today was to save his life. Sangbuza was ordered by Qizong Nongzan to come to Chang'an to ask for his marriage, but they only saw the growing power of Tubo, but did not See the essence of the problem.

Li Ke's attitude towards the outside world has always been tough. Of course, he also has his strong capital. Li Ke has no intention of marrying Tubo from the beginning to the end, so Sangbuza's request for marriage must fail. If this matter goes wrong, it will cause disputes between the two countries. of.

If the two countries used swords because of this, and Qin Ling was from Tubo, and he had secretly met with Sang Buza in Chang'an Zeng Jin, then the situation in Chang'an would definitely deteriorate rapidly, and even his life would be in danger, so Li Ke made a special trip today. He went to the palace to meet Li Ke, and told him what happened today, but also to get himself out. He believed that with Li Ke's measure, he would not embarrass him anymore.

Of course Li Ke would not embarrass Qin Ling again, but Li Ke's words just now really shocked Qin Ling, and even put Qin Ling into a dilemma.

Qin Ling always knew that Li Ke admired Lu Dongzan very much, but he didn't expect Li Ke to appreciate it to this extent.

Qinling is a good soldier. Although he has never led troops to fight, he still has some understanding of the important towns and fortresses in the world. The Qiemo County that Li Ke said he was willing to exchange for Lu Dongzan was not an insignificant border town, but It is the Northwest Fortress.

Qiemo City is located in the west of the Tang Dynasty and north of Tubo. It is located in the old land of the ancient Qiemo Kingdom. It is an important place for Tubo to connect to the Western Regions. Because it has always been in the hands of the Tang army, it has been difficult for Tubo to manage the Western Regions. movement.

Although Tubo has now broken Yangtongguo and opened up another road to the Western Regions, Qiemo is no longer the only way for Tubo to enter and exit the Western Regions, but Qiemo is on the east side of Yangtong, and it is easy to be attacked by Qiemo's Tang army. Taking the back road, Qiemo is also the key to Tubo's march into the Western Regions. Without Qiemo, Tubo would not dare to open up the Western Regions unscrupulously.

Now, Li Ke agreed to exchange Qiemo County for Lu Dongzan, which undoubtedly helped Tubo relieve his worries. This has great strategic significance for Tubo to manage the Western Regions. Exchange one person for one county, in exchange for Tubo’s beginning in the Western Regions, No matter how you calculate this deal, Tubo is profitable.

However, Qin Ling knew how much Li Ke valued Lu Dongzan, and he also knew that Qizong Nongzan also relied on Lu Dongzan. Ke's attitude and sincerity still moved Qin Ling.

Qinling has been in Chang'an for nine years. Compared with Tubo people, his thinking habits and daily routine are more like a Tang person. During these years in Chang'an, he was obsessed with the inclusiveness and greatness of the Tang Dynasty, and he also liked Li Ke's toughness. His style of foreign affairs is far from what Tubo can match. If there is a choice, he would prefer to be a Tang person, but now he has no choice.

Qinling's head was still a little dazed, he walked down the stone steps dimly while holding onto the railing beside the dragon path, and walked outside the palace, he still felt like he was in the clouds.

But Li Ke watched Qin Ling leave, but there was a smile on his face. Qin Ling came here to save his life, but it wasn't exactly what Li Ke wanted.

In Li Ke's eyes, in the next 20 years, there are only three people in Tubo who can really be regarded as Li Ke's enemies. One is Zanpu Qizong Nongzan, the other is Grand Minister Lu Dongzan, and the other is Qinling , the rest are nothing to worry about.

However, Qin Ling is inherently famous and handsome, unparalleled for a while, and he is the only handsome talent in Tubo for a hundred years, but now he is trapped in Chang'an by Li Ke, and I am afraid that he will never return to Tubo in his life. It's not enough.

At the same time, Qinling is the son of Ludongzan. If the relationship between Ludongzan and Qizong Nongzan can be divorced through Qinling, then Tubo will be out of balance, and the monarch and ministers will be separated. Therefore, it happened to give Li Ke another opportunity to divorce.

"This son has a famous and handsome appearance. If he refines it a little bit, he will become a great weapon. It's a pity that he can't use it for me right now." Li Ke looked at Qin Ling's leaving figure and said to Mr. Xi beside him.

Xi Junmai also responded: "Your Majesty said that the last general had discussed Qinling with General Su in private, and the general praised Qinling very highly."

Su Dingfang's achievements in battle are outstanding, and he is also Li Ke's confidant. After Li Ke ascended the throne, Su Dingfang seemed to be tied with Li Ji as the top military minister of the Tang Dynasty. His words naturally had extremely high gold content.

After listening to Xi Junmai's words, Li Ke suddenly became interested, and asked, "What did Ding Fang say about him?"

Xi Jun bought it back and said: "The courage is overwhelming, but the talent is slightly superior. Although Qinling is young, he has a tendency to rise in vain when looking at his military affairs. Among the younger generation of military officials in the Tang Dynasty, no more than three can compete with him. indivual."

Su Dingfang's words are highly praised, but they are also to the point. If Li Ke hadn't seized Qinling, he would have shined in 20 years. He succeeded his father in ruling Tubo. If it wasn't for Pei Xingjian who was ordered to conquer the Western Regions when he was in danger, and Guo Yuanzhen killed him skillfully as a way of alienating, I'm afraid that the four towns of Anxi would no longer be owned by Tang.

Li Ke said: "Ding Fang is right. Lu Dongzan and Qin Ling are all talents. If they can be used by me, it will be much easier to destroy Tubo."

Xi Junmai always knew that Li Ke valued Lu Dongzan, but he was still a little puzzled by what Li Ke said, and asked Li Ke: "Lu Dongzan is certainly excellent, but your majesty promised that Qinling would exchange Qiemo County for Lu Dongzan. , Will it be a bit arbitrary, and the location of the Mo city is very important, if Tubo wins the Qie Mo city, they will definitely send troops out of the Western Regions and compete with us in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Lu Dongzan is very important to praise Qizong. He will not do this. Once he does this, it will undoubtedly chill people's hearts. I just said something to win over Qinling, and that's all. "

Li Ke paused, then continued: "And even if Qizong Nongzan agrees, I don't worry about it. If Qizong Nongzan wants to guard Qiemo County and compete with us in the Western Regions, then the whole country will definitely have to fight for power." Sending troops to the north will just give me a chance to wipe them out in the Western Regions, I am not afraid of them sending troops to the Western Regions, but I am afraid that they will stay on the plateau."

When Xi Junmai heard the words, he immediately understood Li Ke's meaning, Xi Junmai said: "Your Majesty is going to use Qiemo County as a bait to catch Qizong to praise this big fish."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Besides, the bait of Mocheng is not tasty, and Abandoned Zong praises it and is very cautious. He probably won't eat it."

While talking, Li Ke remembered something again, and asked Xi Junmai: "Recently, are there any vacancies for rank five and above in Youlongwuwei?"

Xi Junmai thought for a while, and replied: "Youlong Wuwei Zuolang will be vacant, and the official is the fifth grade."

Li Ke said: "General Zuo Lang is just right. You should keep this position first. Qinling has been preparing for Qianniu for some years. He can be transferred. After the Yuanri Dynasty, I will give it to Qinling."

Xi Junmai laughed and said: "You Longwuwei is the emperor's close leader, left and right confidant guards, if Qinling transfers Youlongwuwei Lang general, the Tubo envoys will feel uneasy."
