Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 718 Li Shimin's Ambition
Chapter [-]: Li Shimin's Ambition

After conquering Naqu City, Liu Tong and Xunxiang rescued more than [-] Han slaves in just one Naqu tribe.The Beiwei army and the Subi tribe, together with the rescued Han slaves, evacuated the entire city of Nagqu.

After more than half a month of rest, Liu Tong selected more than [-] Han slaves from the rescued Han slaves and added them to the Beiwei army, replacing the old with the new, attacking while training.

The Subi tribe also received a lot of food and wealth, and the morale of the soldiers of the Subi tribe was also high.

The morale of the Beiwei Army and the Subi Army's coalition forces was high, and the offensive was quite fierce.Usually, the Beiwei army launched a night attack, first clearing out the enemy's sentries at a fixed point, and then everyone rushed in.When the enemy reacted, the Beiwei army had already implemented beheading tactics. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the soldiers would not be found. They only resisted sporadically if they wanted to resist.

After successively annihilating six or seven Tubo tribes, Liu Tong's troops already had more than [-] war horses and more than [-] elite troops.This is the result of Liu Tong and Xun Xiang's careful selection of soldiers. If the threshold is lowered a little, their troops will grow to more than [-] people.

December 350th of the fourth year of Wude is also on this day.Under the guidance of Subi Quzhen, [-] soldiers of the Beiwei Army and more than [-] soldiers of the Subi tribe traveled through mountains and rivers, braved the severe cold, and arrived at Sufajuluo (meaning Sufajuluo), more than [-] miles east of Robrula. Huang's Land), Suvajura Tribe, Subi Quzhen accidentally discovered that this is actually the remnant of the Subi Tribe led by the little queen of the original Subi Kingdom, but although the Sufajura Tribe is dominated by the little queen, because of The needs of the environment gradually evolved the tribe into a patrilineal society tribe.

The Sufa Juluo tribe immediately joined Liu Tong's team under the leadership of the little queen.The fighting power of the Sufa Juluo tribe is notoriously strong. They have practiced martial arts since childhood, accompanied by poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts. Joining has greatly increased Liu Tong's strength and momentum.

The Robrula Valley, where the Subi tribe is located, became the base camp of the Beiwei Army, and a large number of seized materials, cattle, sheep and horses were transported to the Robrula Valley.

At this time, Tunmi Alu, the former Tubo imperial minister in Luoxie City, learned the news.However, Thumiaru didn't take it seriously. He thought it was just a group of humble slaves who wanted to rebel. In fact, this kind of thing happened all the time in various places and tribes in Tubo.

Because of Tumi Alu's mistake, Tubo also missed the opportunity to nip the danger in the bud.When the Tubo court found out that something was wrong, Liu Tong and Xiangxiang forces had already formed, and Rula Luobu became a nightmare for the Tubo people.

……

In late December of the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin secretly entered Chang'an.It has been almost three months since Li Shimin defeated the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan outside the city of Dingyang.Li Yuan formally ordered Li Shimin to stay in Taiyuan and comfort Monan. In this situation, Li Shimin was not happy.

He is not reconciled to being a general king, what he thinks about is the position in the East Palace.Li Yuan granted him an official position, but he didn't care, and Li Shimin didn't care about the addition of three thousand households.Li Yuan increased his authority, but he also didn't care.

But letting him live in Taiyuan for a long time, away from the center, made Li Shimin unhappy.A general king who has been guarding outside for a long time is not what Li Shimin wants.

Li Shimin, disguised as an ordinary trader, came to Chang'an City, with a yellow beard stuck to his face. Li Shimin, dressed as a Serbian, looked at the bustling crowd, full of emotion.

Chang'an West Market is known as the No. [-] market in the world, where wealth and goods from all over the world can be gathered, and customs and customs from all over the world can be seen here.Hu people in various costumes and speaking different languages, a wide range of curios and specialties from all over the world, as well as entertainers performing surprising juggling and magic tricks, breathing fire, stepping on knives and rolling nail beds, and using ventriloquist to summon flocks of birds to circle and dance above their heads , is breathtaking.

Of course, the weather in December in Chang'an is also freezing, but the severe cold can't stop people's enthusiasm.In particular, the Western Turks were defeated and lost control of the area east of the Yilie River Valley in the Western Regions.At this time, orchids from various countries and ethnic groups in the Western Regions danced different styles of dances in front of the store, which can be called a major scene in the West Market.

Li Shimin watched the two orchids dancing to the beautiful music with seriousness.

These two orchids are also really cold-resistant, wearing only half of the tube top, showing their flat stomachs, their waists are particularly flexible, dancing like willow branches swaying in the wind.

Such a landscape was probably only seen in the Tang Dynasty in China's feudal era.After the Song Dynasty, the great defense of etiquette really rose, dare to show your belly on the street?Waiting for the pig cage to be soaked!
In fact, although there are many pedestrians in the market, everyone is busy working on their stomachs, so how can they be in the mood to watch the scenery and dance!Only people like Li Shimin would stop and watch, and then these two orchids raised their skirts, revealing their white thighs, and begged for rewards from the people around them!

Li Shimin was in a good mood, and casually poured out a large handful of copper coins from Lei Yongji's purse, without counting them, and threw them at the two Hu Jis.

Although Li Shimin disguised himself as a barbarian and acted like a lecherous barbarian, but in the face of absolutely familiar people, Li Shimin would be recognized even if he turned into ashes.

"Why is he back?" At this moment, a carriage stopped not far from Li Shimin.The carriage quietly raised the curtain, and the people in the carriage took advantage of this gap to look at Li Shimin quietly.

The person in the carriage was none other than Wei Ting led by Zuo Wei, the former Prince of the Eastern Palace.Jingzhao Webster was one of the most important gentry families in the Tang Dynasty.There were [-] prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and their influence spread from Jingzhao to the whole country. There is a folk saying "Weidu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu".

Like Changsun Wuji, Wei Ting is a diehard loyalist of their respective camps.Changsun Wuji is loyal to Li Shimin, while Wei Ting is loyal to Li Jiancheng.

The carriage was parked on the side of the road for a while, and no one noticed it, but once it took a long time, it would definitely attract the attention of others.Wei Ting directed to the driver in front, "Go to the Lifang Hutong in front!"

The carriage started slowly, and at this moment, Wei Ting suddenly saw a carriage with a familiar sign.

Although this carriage is low-key and luxurious, Wei Ting can easily see that it is actually a carriage from the Pei family.

Since the Han and Wei Dynasties, the Guanlong area has always been the source of Han traditional culture. Especially since the end of the Jin Dynasty, many literati and lofty figures have taken refuge here. The northern minorities have entered the Central Plains, and their numbers are relatively small. In order to maintain their long-term rule Regardless of whether they depended on the Han people who accounted for the majority of the population militarily or politically, they must first and foremost be culturally identified with the landlord class in the Guanlong area, and they must establish a firm political and military alliance with them.It is in this historical background that the so-called four surnames in Guanzhong came into being. The "Four Surnames in Guanzhong" is Wei Pei Liuxue, the main gentry leader in the Guanzhong area in the mid-Tang Dynasty, and has a great reputation in the Guanzhong area.Mainly Jingzhao Wei, Hedong Xue, Hedong Pei, and Hedong Liu, these four surnames are used to be called "Four Surnames in Guanzhong".

The four surnames in Guanzhong are the same as the five Wangs of the Eastern Zong. They are all well-known aristocratic clans in the world. They have not only in-law relationship, but also cooperation relationship, and of course competition relationship!

Wei Ting whispered to a servant in the carriage: "Don't you look at that Hu merchant watching the dance?"

The boy nodded and said: "I see, keep an eye on him, and see who he will meet with from the Pei family later!"

The boy jumped out of the carriage.

After the boy left, Wei Ting felt something was wrong.Li Shimin is now the general of Zhuguo, the general of Anbei, and the general manager of Bingzhou. According to the system, Li Shimin should not return without an edict.

But he did not get any news or rumors that Li Yuan wanted to recall Li Shimin, which made Wei Ting feel puzzled.

Not long after, the young man came back and reported, "Ah Lang, the one who saw the Hu businessman seems to be Pei Xiangguo!"

"Haha..." Wei Ting threw a golden bean over.The servant had quick eyes and quick hands, and caught it in an instant.

Wei Ting said: "Find an opportunity to listen to what they are talking about. If I can find useful news, I will reward you!"

"Thank you, Alang!" The boy turned and entered, disappearing into the vast crowd.

Wei Ting said to the driver: "Go to the East Palace!"

……

The greatest convenience of Datang Tongli Bank is not to facilitate business, but to facilitate bribery. A thin piece of paper can be worth 100 guan, [-] guan, or [-] million guan.Of course, the premise is that you have the money.

Li Shimin looked at this [-]-guan bill with great admiration.Li Shimin slowly handed the money ticket to Pei Ji.

Li Shimin looked at Pei Ji expectantly and said, "Please, Pei Xiangguo, please help me!"

Pei Ji glanced at the numbers on the money ticket calmly, but said calmly, "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, have you ever played Go?
Li Shimin smiled and said: "I learned it when I was young, but I still play Shuanglu more on weekdays!"

Pei Ji said indifferently: "There is a term in Go, which is called the grass belly with golden horns and silver borders..."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Well, I've heard of it!"

"The world is well-shaped and geographically favorable, with corners, sides, and belly...Longyou and Ganliang are located in the northwest; Guanzhong and Bashu are connected across the southwest, forming two corners; the land of the east of the river, facing south, is one side; , Henan is high in the west and low in the east, surrounded by enemies on all sides, because of grass belly..."

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said, "Pei Xiangguo, this metaphor is very good! However, isn't this saying too outdated? Now Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong have all been conferred..."

Having said this just now, Li Shimin suddenly realized.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are also fighting for the world, but they are different.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Shimin heard what Pei Ji meant.

Guanzhong is actually the big belly of the Li and Tang courts.

Once the gold and silver edges are lost, this belly will be slaughtered.

Pei Ji disagreed with Li Shimin's return to Chang'an at this time, but he should grab the silver edge and then seek the golden horn.
