This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 297 Volume [-] The will of the country is on the verge of breaking out.

What is the will of the state?
Anyone who violates our country's territory will not be spared!

This is the will of the state.

At least in this day and age, it is!
As long as you show a little weakness, the surrounding countries will show their fangs.

Only when they are beaten, subdued, and speechless, will they be willing to give you more awe.

Doesn't Li Chengqian understand?

He understands.

But he knew better that he couldn't do that.

If you really want to fight Su Pi to the death for the so-called will of the country at this time, only Tubo will be able to make it happen in the end.

At that time, Songtsen Gampo will definitely come to teach him what is the real national will.

Where the sword points, where the soldiers and horses go, is the will of the country!

At this moment, he earned enough money and food, eliminated the flames of war, and slowed down the progress of Tubo unification, which was his will.

So what if Lu Dongzan figured it out?

Do you want a gentleman to deceive you?

Well, I, Li Chengqian, have never been a gentleman.

Giving up long-term interests for short-term interests is irresponsible to the Ming court.

It's fine now, Su Pi has become your Tubo's great enemy, so what should you do if you don't know Tubo?

"Since that's the case, can I, Tubo, also buy armaments from the Ming court?" Lu Dongzan said with a deep breath.

It was the only thing he could do at this moment.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Of course, for a pair of Liannu, you can get an arrow clip as a discount of 25 shi for food."

"Master Ming is taking advantage of the fire to rob?" Hearing the price, Lu Dongzan almost gritted his teeth and said this.

According to this price, [-] Liannu would require [-] shi of grain!

"Joke, according to Chang'an's grain price, Dou grain is only six cash, stone grain is only sixty, and 25 stone is only fifteen hundred cash. At this price, do you still think it is expensive?
This king sold it to Datang at about the same price. Could it be that you, Tubo, and my Ming Dynasty are closer than Datang? "

This price really has to be said, it is actually a conscience price.

That is to say, the Liannu of the second, third and fourth generations are still not for sale, otherwise they would be more expensive.

What really made Lu Dongzan feel expensive was that Li Chengqian changed the unit of measurement to grain.

25 shi of grain is enough to last a family of ten for a year.

Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said, "But the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty fights for ten Wen! Twenty-five stones is 25 Wen!"

As for the prices of the Daming royal court, Lu Dongzan had been to know about it every time he came here, so he was no stranger to it.

"Doesn't this just mean that our Daming court is short of food?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "If my Daming court has enough food, I hope that the Daming court's grain can only be sold for six cents a bucket."

Lu Dongzan asked: "Can you trade with other equivalent money?"

"Yes, but food has to account for [-]% of the transaction share." Li Chengqian said, "If it wasn't for food, does your envoy think that the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty would sell weapons to the outside world?"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian stopped talking to him. It is not the Ming court that should worry about the current situation, but you Tubo.

"His Highness King Ming means that as long as you have money, you can buy as much food as you want?" Lu Dongzan asked again.

This time, Li Chengqian shook his head: "Your emissary's words are wrong, after all, the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty only sells military equipment to solve the food crisis, once the food crisis is resolved, naturally it will not sell military equipment again.

After all, as far as the royal court of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, it is undoubtedly an aid to the enemy! "

"The foreign minister understands." Lu Dongzan bowed his hands and bowed before leaving.

After he left, Chang Sun Chong asked suspiciously: "Why does Your Highness say that? In fact, there are more euphemistic words, which can also make Tubo unable to find reason."

This is true, in the final analysis, Li Chengqian was too straightforward, too straightforward, and he almost told people that I did it on purpose.

But Li Chengqian smiled: "No matter what we say, they will think in the direction they want to believe, understand?
It's like no matter what they say, the king believes that the reason why Su Pi committed such a large-scale attack is that he was influenced by them.

This is a truth.

The result is the same, nothing more than a more euphemistic rhetoric.

No need, this king just wants to let them know that since you, Tubo, like to make dirty tricks, you have to bear the consequences brought by yourself. "

"Then we really want to sell arms to Tubo?" Li Qinjian asked.

"Sell, why not sell." Li Chengqian said, "We don't know much about the future situation of Tubo, and from the current point of view, it is still not appropriate to offend Tubo too much.

But now that Su Pi is weak, we can't let Tubo become too strong, otherwise once Tubo takes Su Pi, it will be our Daming who will be in trouble.

In this way, Li Shilang, after Lu Dongzan discusses the details of the transaction with you, you will inform Liu San of the news, and Liu San will send someone to notify King Supi.

Hehe, in this way, we also have an explanation to Su Pi. "

Li Chengqian is really wicked, he is simply not a son of man.

Isn't this clearly asking King Subi to lead an army to intercept Tubo's money and food?
"But once Su Pi becomes stronger, I'm afraid he won't be a friend." Wang Xuance said.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "You don't understand this. If Su Pi has the upper hand, then we should support Tubo. As long as the strength of both of them is at a critical point, it will be the victory of the Ming court." .”

"However, once they find that they are evenly matched in strength and find that they can't deal with each other, they calm down again and realize that after the war begins, only our Ming court will be the final beneficiary, and there may be a risk of joining forces to attack." Qibi He Li said .

This is absolute.

Once the war really reached that point, they found that both sides suffered heavy losses, and only the Ming court made a lot of money, so there was indeed a possibility of joining forces.

But Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Major General, have you forgotten that before this king told Lu Dongzan that the reason why the Ming court sold armaments was because of food concerns.

King Ben said this not only to Lu Dongzan, but also to King Supi.

Therefore, during the second transaction with King Subi, King Subi kindly sent three thousand prisoners of war.

Presumably he will send more prisoners of war in the future.

Can the general understand the deep meaning of King Subi's move? "

Qi Bi He Li was startled, "Is he increasing the consumption of food by the royal court of the Ming Dynasty?"

This……

After finishing speaking, Qibi Heli was dumbfounded, if both of them did this, then they would form a death feud.

"But the more captives they send, the more resentment Su Pi and Tubo will have towards our court of Ming Dynasty? After all, our people are slaves in the court of Ming Dynasty. Who can bear this?" Puxiro Said.

Li Chengqian shook his head: "Who said they came to the Daming royal court as slaves? You have such a bad idea. This time, this king assigned Minglou City, Zhennan City, and Tiele City to Zhennan Prefecture to solve the problem. the problem.

Since these poor people were sent to our Daming court as slaves, of course our Daming court has to make good use of them.

You don't need to worry about this, the king has already made arrangements. "

As for Zhennan Mansion, they had received the news before, so they were not surprised.

In today's Ming court, Li Chengqian can make a decision with one word, and they are used to it.

With such power, hehe, Li Er didn't even have it in Datang.

"You don't have to worry about things in the south. Now we have to worry about the north." Li Chengqian said, "As the news of Murong Wanqiu's matchmaking before the battle spread, there will definitely be some friction between Water River County and Murong Fuyun. .

After being in contact for so long, this king has also discovered that this Murong Fuyun is definitely a suspicious person by nature. How could such a person tolerate the marriage between his subordinates and the enemy country.

In addition to this period of time, Water River County has made a lot of money, which has long caused the dissatisfaction of other tribes.

Everyone pushes the wall down!
Hey, it's time to play this time. "

"That's true." Speaking of this, Qibi He Li laughed, "Others don't know, but Dayanmang's knots would probably make Murong Xiaojun hate him to death.

I heard about it when I was in Rehai, that guy has always regarded the princess as a taboo, so he naturally didn't dare to trouble His Highness, but he still dared to trouble the county of Piaohe. "

"This is now." Yi Yuanxi said, "In the past, when Murong Xiaojun was so powerful, Dayanmang wouldn't even dare to fart."

"Don't worry about so many." Li Chengqian said, "The army is on alert, and don't fall behind during the drill, a big battle may break out at any time.

For the Ministry of Rites, we might as well hang out with Water River County more, now Murong Xiaojun must have resentment, but it doesn't matter, we should respect the old, who told him to suffer such a big loss?

Don't stop the business between Hubu and Piaohe County, continue to increase the rift between them, money is touching!

There are no special arrangements for the Ministry of Industry, after all, the Ministry of Industry has done a good job in all aspects.

However, the Ministry of Industry can still increase the exploration of various mineral deposits, which is necessary.

In the future, we need a large amount of mineral deposits, and we are completely dependent on imports from other countries, which is easy to get stuck, as is the case with this food crisis. "

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have ordered the people below to pay more attention." Regarding this, Yi Yuanxi was also very concerned.

The rest of the people also nodded.

The biggest threat to the Ming court today indeed comes from the north. After all, it is impossible for Murong Fuyun not to want to take back the source of Chishui. The reason why there is no movement now is that the Tang Dynasty has deterred them, and their own strength is not good. After so many years of snow disasters, It really dragged Tuyuhun down.

Today's Murong Fuyun is thinking of working hard to restore Tuyuhun to its peak state, and then look for opportunities to recover Chishuiyuan.

But he wants to regain Chishuiyuan, and Li Chengqian also wants to plot his Water River County, which is more interesting.

In fact, relatively speaking, it was easier for Li Chengqian to conspire for Water River County than for Murong Fuyun to recover Chishuiyuan.

Without him, Li Chengqian still has Datang sitting behind him. Even if Datang doesn't send out a single soldier, as long as he is still standing there, it will be a powerful deterrent.

This is also Li Chengqian's confidence, fight for strength first, if you don't have enough strength, let's fight for father!
"Then we will take our leave first." Pussy got up and said.

Li Chengqian nodded, and after they left, Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda walked in.

They have also been waiting for a long time.

However, when Li Chengqian discussed state affairs with the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, there was nothing they could do.

"Congratulations to Your Highness for returning after victory." As soon as they entered, the two saluted.

"It's overrated." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "It's just using some tricks."

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "However, after more than ten days, His Highness won the victory and returned. He is a hero born a young man, how could it be possible to cover up the past with a small skill?"

What he said didn't mean to be flattering, it was indeed what he thought in his heart.

For a veteran player like him, winning a battle is nothing, but winning so fast and so easily is not easy.

This is the crushing of absolute strength.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Uncle Wang doesn't know how my nephew won this time, otherwise, he would never have said such a thing."

"Oh?" Li Xiaogong came to his senses, Li Chengqian didn't mention it, it was inconvenient for him to ask, since he mentioned it, he just asked casually, "I don't know how Your Highness won?"

Li Chengqian even told all about his going south this time.

Hearing this, Niu Jinda and Li Xiaogong were both stunned.

Good guy, you are an enemy!

No, this is playing with fire.

"Your Highness is not afraid of being backlashed by it?" Li Xiaogong asked with some doubts.

But Li Chengqian said: "What's the use of being afraid? Except for the south, the Ming Dynasty borders Tuyuhun on the west and north, and the Tang Dynasty on the east. Tuyuhun will not go south now. Murong Fuyun is still waiting for the so-called opportunity. The only one that borders Daming Only Datang is left.

Could it be that Datang would still send troops to Daming? "

The reason why he made this plan at the beginning was precisely because the current geopolitics of the Ming court is so clean that it is outrageous.

Tubo made the wrong idea from the very beginning.

How could Li Chengqian fight Su Pi for the sake of saving face?

"Your Highness is very courageous." Li Xiaogong laughed when he heard this.

He had also pondered this question in his heart just now, if everything was according to what Li Chengqian said, then the Ming court would indeed be the biggest beneficiary.

But from the perspective of generals like him and Niu Jinda, this is indeed a bit of a loss of majesty.

Since someone dares to extend his hand to our country, regardless of the reason, he should be defeated in a single battle.

"It's not about courage." Li Chengqian smiled, "Even if this king defeats or even wipes out the Su Pi army? The loss is my Ming soldiers, and the ultimate gain is Tubo.

This in itself is not a good deal, but now it is very good, Daming is not damaged, the enemy has retreated, and it is Tubo who should have a headache.

Didn't they say before that as long as those rebels return to Tubo, they will be able to wipe them out?

Hehe, I sent them back.

Let's see how they get rid of it. "

Li Xiaogong smiled, there is really nothing to say, from Daming's point of view, Li Xiaogong can only say one thing, well done.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two also left.

On the way back, Niu Jinda smiled and said, "We all know what Tubo is thinking. This time, they are shooting themselves in the foot."

"The old man didn't expect that His Highness has grown to this stage." Li Xiaogong nodded, "Don't forget, Your Highness is only in his teens now, and his mind is as stable as those of us veterans.

To be honest, when the old man heard that Tubo was attacking, the first thing he thought of was to let these Tubo thieves come and go.

More than ten years old, it is really enviable. "

"The old man thinks it's pretty good." Niu Jinda said, "There are many strategies to defeat the enemy, no matter what kind, it's good to be able to defeat the enemy."

Li Xiaogong shook his head, Niu Jinda didn't understand what he meant, so he immediately said: "Go back and write the memorial, Chang'an is probably still waiting for our memorial."

……

When Li Xiaogong's memorial went straight to Chang'an, it was the Gaochang Prince's Mansion in Piaohe County.

Murong Xiaojun was in a happy mood because he had benefited a lot from the business with Daming, but he no longer had it.

The reason is very simple, my precious girl actually did something like asking a matchmaker before the battle!
Originally, this was nothing, but luckily, the person his daughter asked for a matchmaker turned out to be Li Chengqian.

This made him unable to sit still.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there will be a battle between Tuyuhun and the Ming court in the future.

This is unavoidable.

Regaining lost ground is something any emperor would do.

But now, his daughter has become the concubine of the Ming court, how does he deal with it?
In addition, now that Murong Fuyun was already wary of him, how would he explain this again?

I can't explain it!

"My lord, why bother?" At this moment, the concubine walked in and said with a smile when she saw Murong Xiaojun's frowning face.

Murong Xiaojun shook his head and said: "Wangfei doesn't understand, what Wanqiu did is to put her father on the fire, hey..."

Murong Xiaojun shook his head and sighed as he said that, his current situation is indeed not good.

The concubine smiled and said, "My niece, the lord, doesn't understand yet?" Then, the concubine took out another letter from the armband and said, "Here, this is from your niece. She must have dared to do this." It was done with deliberate thought.”

Murong Xiaojun was taken aback when he heard the words, then took the letter.

After reading the letter, Murong Xiaojun smiled and said: "This girl, at least this king didn't love her for nothing! But she is right, it is really time to test it out."

After finishing speaking, Murong Xiaojun called out, "Come here."

How could someone as smart as Murong Wanqiu not know how much influence he had on his father by asking the matchmaker before the battle?If she dared to do this, it was undoubtedly because she had thought of a way to break the situation.

Of course, it can't just be said to break the game, Murong Wanqiu's plan has a long way to go.

"What is the order of the prince?" Not long after, some soldiers came in.

Murong Xiaojun said: "Order the army to assemble, Chen Bing border, ready to go south at any time, this king will play a profuse sweat, please fight!

Tell everyone that this battle is for nothing but to welcome back the princess!Your princess was bullied in the Daming court, let the Daming court repay it with blood! "

The soldiers were taken aback for a moment, but immediately said: "The last general will pass on the order."

In Water River County, Murong Xiaojun has absolute prestige.

After the soldiers left, Murong Xiaojun began to play to invite the battle.

Not long after, Water River County became restless.

All the ministries are gathering, one and two are full of angry faces, without him, their princess has been bullied!

The tribal armies who were inserted by Murong Fuyun'an also received the news, and they were stunned for a while.

They also heard about Murong Wanqiu's matchmaking before the battle, but this?
All of a sudden, the entire Water River County was full of turmoil.

……

In Fucheng City, in Murong Fuyun's king's tent.

The old guy is chatting with Tuoba Zhao about Murong Wanqiu's matchmaking before the battle.

"I think King Gaochang knew about this a long time ago, and his heart is to be punished!" someone said.

Tuobazhao shook his head with a smile, and said, "You can't say that. After all, King Gaochang is my servant of Tuyuhun, and he has made great contributions to Tuyuhun."

He didn't feel at ease with that.

Dayan Mangjiebo on the side didn't say a word, but it could be seen from his expression that this guy was very angry.

As for Murong Fuyun, he just listened to what the people below said, and didn't make a sound.

But in his heart, he became more and more dissatisfied with Murong Xiaojun.

It's so courageous to ask the matchmaker before the battle!

If it was said that Murong Wanqiu did not have Murong Xiaojun's shadow in this matter, even if he was killed, he would not believe it.

People, as long as they start to doubt, even if someone farts, they can find a motive for him.

Because, this is people.

But at this moment, someone came in and said, "Khan, the memorial of King Gaochang has been delivered."

"Read." Murong Fuyun nodded.

He also wanted to hear what Murong Xiaojun wanted to say?
Plead guilty?then what.

"Weichen Murong Xiaojun plays..." After a bunch of nonsense greetings, the style of painting suddenly changed, "Today, the beloved daughter of the little minister was humiliated by the thieves in Chishuiyuan. Name, minister, please fight!

You can regain Chishuiyuan, reproduce my splendor of heavenly power, and you can also flatten the resentment in my heart, and return my daughter's innocence!
Now, all the soldiers of Piaohe County have assembled, Chen Bing is at the border, and the humble ministers call for battle! "

After the man finished reading, Murong Fuyun was taken aback.

Others also froze.

Only Dayan Mang Jiebo said excitedly: "Father, please fight!"

He saw hope.

But Murong Fuyun still didn't speak, he was a little confused, is Murong Xiaojun true or not?
"Khan, could it be Murong Xiaojun's scheme?" Tuobazhao said.

Murong Fuyun had such thoughts, so he kept quiet for a long time.

But at this moment, another person came in and said, "Khan, the soldiers and horses of all the ministries in Piaohe County have messengers back, and they are waiting outside."

"It is said that they came in." Murong Fuyun said immediately.

In fact, these people were waiting for Tuobazhao and others, but since it was related to Water River County, Murong Fuyun directly passed them in.

Not long after, after a few people came in, Murong Fuyun asked directly: "What happened to Water River County?"

"Back to the Khan, King Gaochang is crazy!" the messenger hurriedly said, "Before he was just gathering an army, and now he is even mobilizing the herdsmen in Waterhe County. Regarding the situation, I heard that the Tang Dynasty is also gathering troops, and the battle is imminent!"

"King Gaochang is really crazy?" Tuoba Zhao said in disbelief.

To mobilize the herdsmen means that the whole territory will participate in the war.

Murong Fuyun also couldn't believe it.

"Khan, stop King Gaochang immediately. If there is a big war, Tang Dynasty will definitely take advantage of the situation." Another person said, "Now, I, Tuyuhun, can't afford to fight this big battle. Khan, there will be no delay."

"What's the situation in the Ming court?" Murong Fuyun asked again.

The messenger shook his head: "I don't know about this for now, but I heard that the Ming court just won the big battle in the south, and now the Ming king has returned to Riyue Mountain."

Murong Fuyun had a headache.

"Come here, send an order to King Gaochang immediately, let him return to Fucheng City as soon as possible."
