Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 265 Chapter 274: Willful Nuohebo

Li Hao's massacre of captives is a secret, as long as he makes up an excuse, he can evade the court's inquiries, and naturally he can also evade the power of obsession, but in the face of power failure, Li Hao chose to believe him, he just wanted to see, Whether Zhishisili can become a trustworthy friend, the worst result is that Zhishili tells Li Shimin about the massacre of the captives. Li Hao is not afraid of such a small matter, and the big deal will justify the merits and demerits.

Zhi Shili frowned and pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Poetry, forgive me, why are you so impulsive, you know, you have made great achievements repeatedly, and you have long been envied by others. waiting for you to make a mistake."

Li Hao nodded calmly: "I know this, but I have my reasons."

"Oh?" Zhishenli was slightly surprised when he heard the words, spread his hands and said, "What reason do you have?"

Li Haodao: "The 18 maids sent by the emperor to marry the princess were captured by Tubo before, and now there are only 82 of them left. Many of the [-] palace maids were raped to death by Tubo soldiers, and some committed suicide because they could not bear the humiliation. .”

"What?" Zhishenli was stunned when he heard the words, his face became angry, and after a while he regained his composure, nodded and said, "This matter really makes people angry, but you killed ten thousand at once, which is a bit too much."

"But I still think it's too few." Li Hao said indifferently, "I originally planned to kill all [-] prisoners, leaving only Lunzhu Rinzeng alone."

He lost his mind and shook his head with a helpless wry smile when he heard the words. He had seen Li Hao's violent temper before. Now that things have happened, it would be futile to say anything. He could only ask, "Have you figured out a way to face the court's investigation?"

"Think it over." Li Hao said, "If the court asks, I will say that when we are waiting for you here, there is not enough food. We can't let my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty starve, so we reduced the rations of the Tubo prisoners, which eventually led to Ten thousand prisoners starved to death."

"Your rhetoric..." Zhi lost his mind and couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling that his reasoning was just a joke.

"It's perfunctory, isn't it?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhi Shi Si Li didn't speak, he was acquiescing, but Li Hao said seriously: "I also know it's a bit perfunctory, so I still need General Zhi-Shi-Si-Li to help me solve this panic." He said one word this time He chanted the name that he lost his mind one by one, and finally got it right.

Zhi Sisi forcefully smiled and said, "Just because you called me by my name this time, I will help you out of this mess."

Li Hao hurriedly got up and cupped his hands: "Thank you General Selfishness."

Persistence Loss of Mind:  …

Zhishisili stayed for one more night, and the next day he escorted Lunzhu Renzeng and nine thousand Tubo prisoners back to Chang'an. Li Hao also pulled out his camp at the same time and headed towards Tuyuhun.

Seven days later, Li Hao finally arrived at Fucheng, the capital of Tuyuhun. Fucheng had always been the capital of Tuyuhun, but since it was defeated by Li Jing's army, Tuyuhun split into two parts. To take over the throne, the capital city was set up in Shanshan, and Fu Yun's eldest son Murong Shun took over the throne in West Tuyuhun, and the capital was still set in Fuqi City. He wanted to prove that he was the orthodox king of Tuyuhun.Because Yanmang Jiebo took refuge in Tubo, Tang Dynasty only recognized West Tuyuhun as Tuyuhun.

Although Tuyuhun is desolate and its national strength is weak, Fucheng City is a capital city after all. It is not prosperous, but it is not depressed. Anyway, it is like that. However, the style of the buildings in the city is different from that of Datang City. Most of them are domes and pointed buildings. It is precisely because of these very different buildings that Cai Er suddenly felt a fresh sense of curiosity about this foreign country after seeing it. After all, she is only 14 years old, and she is always full of curiosity about new things.

Li Hao waited outside the Tuyuhun city for a while, and soon, Tuyuhun Prime Minister Xuan Wang led all the officials out of the city to greet him, the ceremony was grand, but Li Hao was very dissatisfied.

Li Hao knew the current situation of Tuyuhun. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, the king of Tuyuhun, Murong Shun, succeeded to the throne and was named the king of Xiping County by Li Shimin. Killed by his subordinates, his 11-year-old son Nuohebo succeeded to the throne. Nuohebo naturally inherited the title of Xiping County King. Li Daozong knows what a county king is. He is the county king.

When a small county king marries a princess of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally has to come and welcome him in person. She is the blood of the emperor. Princess, the county king will also behave like a monarch and minister when he sees a princess. What do you mean by sending your own group of younger brothers to welcome the relatives, want to rebel?

Facing the welcome of King Xuan and all the civil and military officials, Li Hao remained unmoved, called King Xuan to speak, and explained the etiquette to King Xuan carefully. The barbarians do not understand etiquette, so we have to teach them, but Li Hao's words may not be So polite.

King Xuan accepted Li Hao's lecture with a nod and bowed his head. He continued to say that he was quite afraid of Li Hao. He had heard about the attack on the sending team this time. Li Hao was able to defeat the [-] Tubo army with [-] troops , and even captured Tubo Yourushuai alive. In his opinion, this is no different from a god. You know, just last year, the Tubo army attacked Tuyuhun, and they defeated Tuyuhun with only [-] soldiers and horses. Fortunately, Tubo didn't really want to beat them at that time, but just wanted to teach them a lesson, and at the same time use a way to invade Datang, so they can survive until now.

To be honest, Nuohebo is very afraid of Tubo now, but not so afraid of Tang, because the Tubo people are fierce, they beat them for no reason, and they dare not say anything, how good Tang is, As long as he pretends to be a child, Datang will immediately send a princess to ride for him... Ah bah, send a princess to marry him.

In fact, these thoughts of Nuohebo are very realistic and true. It is like educating a child. If the mother dotes on the child and the father is strict, then if two people ask the child to do something at the same time, the child must obey. For my father, because my father is strict, if you don't obey, you may be beaten. It's that simple.

If Li Shimin knew what was going on in Nuo Hebo's mind, would he slap himself in the face? This is making him a contemporary writer.

So when Nuohebo heard that Princess Datang was coming, he only sent Grand Minister Xuan Wang to lead civil and military officials to welcome her, and he was lazy in the palace with the airs of a king. He completely forgot that he almost died seven years ago. If Li Shimin didn't look down on such a desolate land that time, there would have been no Tuyuhun in the world. Nuohebo also forgot that he is now just a county king of the Tang Dynasty. Although this is just a title, it also represents Tuyuhun. He didn't have the awareness to surrender to Datang, to surrender, to obey like a minister, maybe he didn't even know that he still had such a title.

Li Hao refused to enter the city, and even taught King Xuan a lesson. Then King Xuan went to the city to invite King Nuohebo according to Li Hao's instructions. They also felt that the young Da Tang wedding envoy was too good at putting on airs and was a bit of a bully.

Fucheng City is not very big, King Xuan came all the way to the palace, asked to see Nuohebo, and conveyed Li Hao's meaning.

"What! Do you want me to go out of the city to meet Datang princess in person?" The young Nuohebo suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyebrows twisted into twists, and he scolded, "This marriage envoy from the Tang Dynasty has won Hysteria! This king is the king of a country, a mere princess, how can I let this king go out of the city to meet her in person! This king has already given them enough face by sending you to lead all the ministers to meet her!"

King Xuan frowned when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, you are indeed the king of a country, but your Majesty may have forgotten that when the previous king took over the throne, he was conferred the title of King of Xiping County by the Tang Dynasty. According to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, the county king married the princess. When you go out and greet yourself."

"What? The king of the county?" Nuo Hebo frowned, very unhappy. After pondering for a long time, he said, "That's my father's conferment, and it has nothing to do with this king."

"Be careful, Your Majesty." King Xuan hurriedly said, "The position of prince has always been handed down. Since His Majesty took over the throne of the previous king, he naturally also inherited the title of King of Xiping County. It is precisely because of this that the Tang Dynasty was willing to marry the princess. .”

"This king is actually just a county king of Datang?" Nuohebo was very unhappy, paced back and forth thinking for a long time, and said, "Since Princess Datang is married to me, Tuyuhun, she should naturally follow my Tuyuhun's etiquette. Isn’t there a saying that when you follow the Romans, do as the Romans do?”

King Xuan shook his head slowly: "According to Datang, our Tuyuhun also belongs to Datang."

"What!" Nuo Hebo exclaimed with wide eyes. He had been the king for six years, and he was suddenly informed that his country belonged to the Tang Dynasty. He was really shocked and angry.

King Xuan said: "Your Majesty, you must pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year. This has recognized that Tuyuhun is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

"Why didn't you tell this king earlier!" Nuo Hebo scolded with staring eyes.

He was only 11 years old when he first became king, and he didn't know much about the affairs of the court. He was completely at the mercy of King Xuan. Anyway, he is also a king, so what is the matter of surrendering to others.

However, King Xuan and his ministers tried their best to dissuade Nuohebo at that time, and told him that if he could pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty would send more money back, and this money was not a small amount for Tuyuhun. When the 11-year-old Nuo Hebo heard that he could make money, he didn't even know what it would mean to be a minister to the Tang Dynasty even if he agreed to continue to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Nuohebo is young, he is self-willed, he is proud, and he still has a bit of backbone, because he knows that his father was opposed by the people of the country and finally killed by his subordinates because he had no backbone and succumbed to the Tang Dynasty. , To die at the hands of his own subjects, this is simply a great shame, Nuohebo despises his father and king from the bottom of his heart, and is determined to be a good king.

Now, after six years, he has gradually grown up. He feels that after these years of hard work, he has become a very good king, because the people in Tuyuhun support him very much, and he believes that the people's eyes are sharp.

Nuo Hebo frowned and thought for a long time, then slowly said: "King Xuan, you go and tell the marriage envoy of Datang that from now on, this king refuses to pay tribute to Datang, and Tuyuhun will no longer be a minister to Datang."

"Your Majesty!" King Xuan suddenly raised his voice when he heard the words, and said coldly, "Has Your Majesty forgotten what happened to Khan Fuyun? Thousands of soldiers and horses defeated the [-] Tubo army, Your Majesty must stop talking like a child!"

"Great Prime Minister!" Nuo Hebo saw that he actually scolded himself like this, and immediately lost his temper, glaring and shouting, "How dare you scold me like this!"

King Xuan said coldly: "Your Majesty wants to sink Tuyu into water and fire, but I can only warn His Majesty with the sound of the wind and thunder. I also hope that Your Majesty will put the country first and stop doing it capriciously!"
