People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1070 The King of Nanchang with a gentle tone

On both sides of the long street, countless black-armored cavalry lined up from the street to the end of the street.

A sharp long spear hung down from the horse, and the flickering firelight reflected the cold and murderous look.

Fangzheng Tengge walked towards the street with the black-faced man Narisu and his son Tengku.

A pair of cold eyes fell, staring directly at the three people. The backs of the three people's necks suddenly felt inexplicable chills.

It's like the blades on both sides will fall down at any time.

Above the square gate at the back, a dozen pairs of eyes looked worriedly.

They don't know what the outcome will be today.

Once the King of Nanchang is really assassinated, they will inevitably break with the Tang Dynasty completely.

There is no way out.

Do we really want to follow what was said before, once the King of Nanchang is assassinated, they will rush out collectively, fight to the palace, and capture Luoyang?

Can they really do it?

At the last moment, people's hearts began to hesitate.

……

A street pavilion appeared on the street at an unknown time.

Countless black government officials spread out on the streets.

A dozen Luoyang officials wearing various official robes stood on both sides with their hands tied and their expressions solemn.

Li Xuan and Zhao Gong sat in the center and played chess casually.

After careful body search by Qianniu Guard, Fangzheng Tengge, Narisu and Tengku finally walked outside the street pavilion.

Standing in front of the street pavilion, the three of them raised their hands to the distinguished people in front of them at the same time: "Guangli Fangfang is in full swing. I have seen all the officials."

In an instant, in the pavilion, on the steps, Luozhou Prefecture Chief Shi, Sima, Luoyang County Magistrate, Henan County Magistrate, General Jinwu, General Qianniu, and General Youwei all turned to look at the three of them.

The aloof gaze was full of cold disgust.

Fang Zheng felt his scalp numb for a moment.

The people in front of me, except for the top Dongdu guard, are almost the largest officials in Luoyang.

Even the Luoyang County Magistrate and the Henan County Magistrate are both fifth-grade officials.

None of the others were lower than the fifth grade.

Luo Governor Shi Cui Zhiti was a senior official of the third rank.

In Luozhou, King Li Xian of England was appointed as the shepherd of Luozhou, so the governor of Luozhou, Shi Cui Zhiti, was in charge of Luozhou state affairs and carried out assassination and historical affairs. He was the third rank of subordinate.

Although Zhao Gong was a fifth-rank court official, he was now an imperial envoy with full authority to handle Turkic affairs. Even Cui Zhiti was subordinate to him.

Li Xuan is now the deputy imperial envoy. In addition, he is the governor of Zhongzhou from the third rank, the right guard general of the inspection school, and the king of Nanchang County. His position is higher than Cui Zhiti.

However, even apart from those prime ministers who became ministers, Li Xuan was still not the highest-ranking official in Luoyang.

The eastern capital was left behind, with Zuo Sanqi serving as a regular attendant, and Wei Hongji, the eunuch of the young government, who was the real leader in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

However, Wei Hongji was ordered to build Shangyang Palace and guard the palace. He rarely left, so he was responsible for all external affairs.

Now, except for Wei Hongji, almost all the current high-ranking officials in Luoyang have arrived.

It can be seen that the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to today's Turkic affairs.

……

Li Xuan was wearing a black robe with gold silk. When the chess piece fell from his hand, Zhao Gong's brows instantly furrowed and he didn't make a move for a long time.

Li Xuan raised his head and glanced at Tenge, and asked casually: "Are you Guangli Fangfangzheng, the elder of Luoyang of the Turkic tribe, and the former Zuo Xiaowei Lang general Ashina Tenge?"

"The surname Ashina was bestowed upon me by Duke Xue Guogong, and I am now an official, Tenge." Tenge handed over his hands seriously and solemnly.

"It doesn't have to be like this. When I and Duke Xue were in Changzhou, they often fought together and had a close friendship. You don't need to deliberately separate the relationship." Li Xuan paused for a moment, waved her hands, and sighed: "I know, if With Duke Xue Guo here, things in Luoyang should not be like this."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Tenge let out a long sigh of relief.

Li Xuan's eyes passed over the black-faced man Na Ri Su and Teng Ge's son Teng Ku, and his expression was surprisingly gentle: "I heard that you moved from the north of Suzhou in the early years?"

"Reporting to the prince, Suzhou happened later. After Jieli Khan lost the royal court in Fengzhou, he fled to Suzhou, and was later captured in Chang'an. We followed him to Chang'an, but in fact I He was born in Sanggan Governor's Mansion, and later went to Fengzhou with the army." Tenge told his past seriously.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, Sangqian Governor's Mansion was the location of Zhangjiakou in later generations.

Go north from Luoyang, passing through Anyang, Handan, Zhaojun, Fanyang, Dingzhou, Youzhou, and out of the Great Wall.

Except for the Yellow River, there are not many dangerous passes in the middle of this line. It can go all the way from Luoyang to Youzhou.

It is not easy to get out of Youzhou.

"I heard that the grassland is rich in water and grass, which is perfect for war horses to gallop. I really hope that one day, I can go to the grassland to ride to my heart's content and experience the scenery of the grassland." Li Xuan sighed softly, as if she had many regrets in her heart.

Looking up at Tenge, Li Xuan waved her hands and said: "I lost my temper. I wanted to go to Silla back then, but unfortunately I couldn't go in the end. Fortunately, I wanted to go to Qinghai and Tibet later. Finally I still went, the grassland scenery is very beautiful now, maybe I can also have the opportunity to go there."

Li Xuan's voice fell calmly, and Tengge, Narisu, and Tengku immediately changed.

The meaning of Li Xuan's words was a bit tactful, but everyone understood that he was already prepared for the future battle on the grassland.    In other words, Datang was well prepared.

……

Tenge raised his hands forward, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, Tianhuang, is naturally able to go wherever he wants, but we can't even get out of this small gate."

"No need to test." Li Xuan waved her hand and said politely: "I really have no intention of letting you go out."

Li Xuan looked at the countless right guard soldiers behind Tenge, sighed, and said: "I originally wanted to lead the right guard to go in directly and kill all those who dared to resist with weapons, even a fire general. It was completely burned inside..."

Li Xuan's words paused, and the faces of Tengge and the other two people suddenly turned pale.

Although they had already guessed Li Xuan's intention to go in and kill everyone, they still couldn't help but look ugly when they heard what he said head-on.

If there really is a war, it is hard to say what will happen to Luoyang, but I am afraid that not many Turks will be left in Guanglifang in the end.

"But..." Li Xuan's words attracted the attention of the three of them. Li Xuan looked at Cui Zhiti nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Cui Changshi was worried about the impact of this matter on Luoyang, so he forcibly held him back. After killing me, I have no choice but to stop temporarily and use the second strategy?"

"Second strategy?"

"That's right." Li Xuan nodded slightly, looked at Guangli Fang behind, and said calmly: "The army is besieging the entire Fang City. If you don't hand over the people for a day, I will not allow those inside to come out. Think about it. There are 40,000 people. If they eat horse chews, they should spend some food."

Tenge suddenly clenched his fists tightly and breathed heavily.

This is a siege method on the battlefield.

Every household in the village, not to mention too much, at least in ordinary households, has enough food for three to five days, and even more than enough for ten days and half a month.

But the amount of food is never the key to defending the city. The key is the panic caused by insufficient food.

Especially when someone is starving to death, panic will break out in an instant.

By then, a brutal cannibalism will be inevitable.

What a ruthless method!

"I originally thought that you could hold on for a few days, but I didn't expect that you would come out before half a day." Li Xuan's eyes fell on Tengge.

This Guangli Fangzheng, apart from anything else, is still qualified in his duties.

Risu was also looking at Tenge that day, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

On the long street in front of me, there were countless Tang soldiers.

Especially since they had already made plans to besiege them. If they were to rush out rashly, they might not even know how they would die.

Tenge raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, cupped his hands deeply and said, "Your Majesty, I just want to go back to the grassland."

"Hey!" Li Xuan leaned forward slightly, looked at Tenge with some curiosity and said, "What are you talking about? I'm afraid no one in the entire Tang Dynasty will allow you to return to the grassland."

"Huh?" Tenge raised his head, looked at Li Xuan in disbelief and said, "The Tang Dynasty allowed us to return to the grassland."

Tenge, Narisu, and Tengku all looked at Li Xuan in disbelief. They couldn't believe that Li Xuan allowed it.

The other people in the pavilion looked at the expressions on the faces of these three people, with a slight sneer on their lips.

The King of Nanchang has never been a good person, how could he allow these Turks to return to the grassland like this.

Li Xuan raised her head calmly: "In all these years, when did the Tang Dynasty stop you from returning to the grassland? In these years, you have been going back and forth to the grassland to sell and do business. Who has stopped you?"

……

Tenge, Su was slightly stunned that day, and then immediately remembered that for so many years, they had been going back and forth to the Turks, and no one had stopped them.

"Those two Khan's heirs, didn't they go back to the grassland that year and were captured by you again?" Risu suddenly raised his head. He was talking about Ashina Nishugo and Ashina Jia. That escape thing.

Li Xuan smiled coldly and said: "General Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang and Youwei Zhonglang General both have military positions. How can they escape privately back to the grassland without suing their superiors? What do they think of the military law of the Tang Dynasty? A piece of paper?"

Looking at Tengge and Narisu who had no reaction, Li Xuan said with disdain: "It's not impossible for them to return to the grassland, but first, they must resign from all the official positions granted by the Tang Dynasty, and then return to the grassland... Of course, after they left Chang'an, the DPRK will naturally appoint new Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General and Right Wei Zhonglang General."

Tenge was the first to react, and his expression changed instantly.

The most important thing about Ashina Nishugo and Ashina Gana is that they are the most orthodox successors of Tuli and Jieli.

Once they resigned from these two identities and Datang appointed others, the legitimacy of the two of them would immediately lose more than half.

Two people will never agree.

"As long as they are willing, Datang will not only let them go back, but will even send troops to escort them back." Li Xuan leaned forward slightly, stared at Tengge and Narisu and said, "Just take a look, who is it?" Dare to accept them.”

The faces of Tenge, Nari and Su suddenly became extremely ugly.

What kind of escort is this? It's clearly meant to intimidate, but if you're not careful, it can turn into a massacre.

……

"Not only them, but also you. You are also free to go back." Li Xuan said calmly: "But if you go back this time, I'm afraid you won't come back again in the future, so before you go back to the grassland, you have to sell it." Your Luoyang household registration."

"Cancel the Luoyang household registration?" Tenge's face was full of doubts. They were about to leave. What was the use of this household registration? Just give up.

"You have been Luoyang citizens for many years and have enjoyed the welfare benefits of Luoyang people for many years. Now that you want to give up your Luoyang household registration, you have to give back all the things you have enjoyed over the years. Isn't this too much?"

Li Xuan looked at the two people who nodded subconsciously and said softly: "But everyone's situation is different. If we force a determination, it will inevitably be difficult... In this way, you can hand over 30% of your total property to the Ministry of Accounts. Isn't it too much? ?”
