Man Tanghong

This is the only disadvantage of a traverser when facing the natives.

This also proves that knowing too much is not a good thing.

"Cuckoo..."

When an unknown bird cooed and flew over the big willow tree, the sky turned white.

The faint white light slowly spread out from the horizon, unknowingly scattered all over the world, Liang Luoren, who had slept on the big willow tree all night, felt a little uncomfortable from the dew-soaked collar, and slowly opened his eyes .

Li Yuanji sat by the bonfire, adding firewood to the bonfire, and asked with a smile, "Are you awake?"

Liang Luoren hurriedly got up to salute.

Li Yuanji waved without waiting for him to salute, "Come here to enjoy the fire and get rid of the moisture on your body."

Liang Luoren bowed with a complicated expression, and walked quickly to the edge of the bonfire. While warming up, he looked at Li Yuanji, hesitating to speak.

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I originally wanted Zhao Chengyong to carry you into the tent, but I was afraid that you would be awakened and thought I was going to harm you, so I didn't move."

Liang Luoren stretched out his hands to warm the fire, hesitantly said: "You... have guarded the foreign minister all night?"

Li Yuanji smiled and pointed to Ashina Simo, who was still soundly asleep, and said, "Not only you, but also him."

Liang Luoren pursed his lips and said, "The foreign minister, He De, how can..."

Li Yuanji waved his hands without waiting for him to finish speaking: "You can rest assured to give me your wealth and life, and I will naturally be responsible to you."

Liang Luoren wanted to say something else.

Li Yuanji waved his hand again and said: "Okay, I will be my own from now on, don't be so polite, come and taste my baked hummus, I don't know if it suits your taste."

As he spoke, Li Yuanji took one of the hu biscuits that had been baked on the fire for a long time and handed it to Liang Luoren.

Liang Luoren thanked him, but he didn't eat the pancake after receiving it, but struggled and said, "What do you need the minister to do?"

Li Yuanji laughed and said: "Do you think that I guarded you all night because I wanted you to do something?"

Liang Luoren did not speak, and acquiesced to this statement.

Li Yuanji shook his head dumbfoundingly and said: "You underestimate me too much. If I need you to do something, I will never coerce you in this way. I will give you an order directly, and I don't think you will either." reject."

Hearing this, Liang Luoren breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in doubt: "You really don't need foreign ministers to do something?"

Li Yuanji stared at Liang Luoren and said with a smile: "What can you do? Help us inform us when we conquer Liang Shidu, or help us open the city gate when we hit Shuofang City?"

Liang Luoren gritted his teeth and said, "It's not impossible..."

Li Yuanji glanced at Liang Luoren in surprise, and said with a smile, "You might as well..."

Liang Luoren forcefully forced a smile and did not speak.

He has already chosen to fall to Datang, so it is right to do things for Datang.

At this time, at both ends of the snake mouse, looking forward and backward, that is courting death.

Li Yuanji shook his head and said, "But we don't need it... If you do this, Su Dingfang will feel that you are insulting him, and Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde will not have fun fighting."

Liang Luoren stared in astonishment.

Fighting is not playing tricks.

How can you give up the fastest and most convenient way to defeat the enemy because of Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong?
There is a better way to not use it, but use the lives of the soldiers to pile it up, that is to disregard human lives!
Liang Luoren couldn't understand what Li Yuanji said.

Li Yuanji saw the doubt in Liang Luoren's heart, and continued: "Liang Guo has long lost the qualification to be our enemy, and it is easy for us to attack Liang.

The reason why I recruited you was not to let you help me defeat Liang Shidu.

But I want you to gather the civilians of the Liang Kingdom when my Tang Dynasty and Liang Shi are both at war, so that they will not suffer from the torment of the war. "

For Datang, the most valuable people in Liang State are the civilians in Liang State.

Those are all descendants of the Han family, who can be easily integrated by Datang, and can help Datang enrich the population in the northern border.

So Datang is most concerned about the safety of those civilians, not whether he can defeat Liang Shidu and recover Liang Guo.

"You recruited me to let me protect those civilians?!"

Liang Luoren stared in disbelief.

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Why, don't you want to?"

Liang Luoren hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, I don't want to, I just didn't expect..."

Li Yuanji said: "I didn't expect it to be normal..."

After all, since ancient times, when the two countries have fought wars, they have always sought territory and fought for victory and defeat. Few people have sought or recruited civilians.

In the eyes of many people in power in ancient times, territory was far more important than people.

This is also one of the reasons why ancient generals massacred cities at every turn.

If those in power in ancient times cared about the life and death of civilians, then such things as massacring cities at every turn would never have happened.

"Then what do you need the foreign minister to do?"

After Liang Luoren digested the information in Li Yuanji's words, he asked respectfully.

A person in power who regards civilians as more important than the outcome of a war is definitely not a bad person and deserves his respect.

Li Yuanji did not rush to answer his question, but asked instead: "Can't you call yourself a minister?"

Liang Luoren was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "It's my negligence..."

Li Yuanji waved his hands and said with a smile: "You just surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, and it's normal if you're not used to it. After you go back this time, you just need to find a way to move all the civilians to a few cities that are not valued very much in Liang State, to ensure They don't get hurt.

Other things are done by others, and you don't need to worry about them. "

Liang Luoren hesitated for a moment, then said: "I can do more..."

Li Yuanji said with a smile that was not a smile: "If you do too much, you will not be able to be a man in the Liang family in the future."

Liang Luoren is now a traitor to the Liang family. Although his original intention of betraying the Liang family was to preserve the Liang family, the Liang family members would not understand him. They would only think that he betrayed the Liang family and made the Liang family The country was defeated and fell into the hands of Datang.

After they settled down, they would blame him for all their mistakes and lash out at him.

So the more he does now, the more he gets bashed later.

This is human nature.

After being hurt, they will always blame a few people for their mistakes, and then go against him together.

As for the right and wrong of a few people, whether they are helping others or harming others, it doesn't matter at all.

Liang Luoren stood up abruptly when he heard this, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he stuttered and said, "Minister...how can you De, sir..."

He thought that Li Yuanji didn't let him participate in the war between Datang and Liang to protect him, so he was surprised and moved.

Counting the rulers in history, there are almost none who can do this for their courtiers, especially for those who have just surrendered.

Li Yuanji saw that Liang Luoren had misunderstood, but he did not explain.

This misunderstanding is in his favor, so no explanation is necessary.

Liang Luoren's stuttering voice was a bit loud, which woke Ashina Simo who was still soundly asleep.

After Ashi Nasimo came to his senses, he suddenly turned over and fell on the ground, unconsciously reaching his waist with his hand.

That's where he hung his knife.

After fully waking up and seeing the situation by the campfire clearly, he stopped moving.

"His Royal Highness King Yong, General Liang, who are you?"

Ashina Simo got up from the ground, patted the withered grass on his body, and asked suspiciously.

As for the clothes that were wet with dew, he didn't care at all.

Liang Luoren was the first to explain: "His Royal Highness Yong guarded us all night, and I am thanking His Royal Highness Yong."

Ashina Simo was stunned, looked at Li Yuanji in disbelief and said, "His Royal Highness King Yong guarded us all night?"

Li Yuanji knew that it was Liang Luoren who was assisting him, so he would not let his tricks of soliciting people's hearts go to waste, so he nodded cooperatively and said: "It's a night guard, but it's not a big deal, don't be surprised Suddenly."

Ashina Simo opened his mouth, but did not speak.

He who has been playing foolishly all this time can't continue acting at this moment.

He obviously has never experienced this kind of method of inviting people's hearts, or he has never felt this kind of consideration from his own people.

So he lost his mind and couldn't pretend anymore.

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yong."

After being silent for a long time, Ashina Simo spoke in a restless state.

Li Yuanji smiled and invited: "Come, come, come and enjoy the fire together!"

Ashina Simo walked to the bonfire like a walking dead, found a random place to sit down, stretched out his hand to warm the fire with his eyes a little dazed.

Liang Luoren continued to talk about the topic just now, "His Royal Highness, what can I do..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuanji waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't talk about these useless things. Hurry up and warm up together, and dry off the moisture on your body as soon as possible, otherwise you will get sick."

Liang Luoren closed his mouth, sat down again, and started a fire.

For a while, the three people beside the fire were all roasting in silence, and no one spoke.

It was not until the sound of horseshoes in the distance that Liang Luoren and Ashina Simo, who had been immersed in their own spiritual world, were awakened.

Ashina Simo changed from his previous naive look, and said seriously: "Why do you and His Majesty the Emperor of Tang treat me, a Turkic, so well?"

Li Yuanji didn't expect Ashina Simo to ask such a question, he was slightly taken aback and then smiled: "Maybe both my father and I think you are from Tang Dynasty."

Ashina Simo was taken aback, and couldn't believe his ears: "I'm from Tang Dynasty?"

Li Yuanji brushed his curly long hair, smiled and said nothing.

Ashina Simo fell silent for an instant.

Because his hair is no different from that of Li Yuanji.

They all have curly brown hair.

It is different from the Han people, and also different from the Turkic people.

Since Li Yuanji is a pure Tang man, he can be one too.

"Although I am not valued in Turkic, I still have [-] accounts available in Mobei and Monan."

Ashina Simo spoke suddenly.

This is a confession, and it is also an expression of his attitude to Datang.

His meaning is very simple, that is, if Datang needs it, the [-] accountants under him can become Datang's sharp sword, stabbing the Turkic sword.

Li Yuanji smiled from the bottom of his heart, looked at Ashina Simo and said, "I don't think the title of Heshun County King is suitable for you, what do you think of Xinping County King?
How about you and your clan living in Xinping in the future? "
