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

For some high-ranking officials like Yuchi Jingde, this was also the first time for a young lady to sit in a sedan chair.

In the past, the Tang Dynasty always had legitimate reasons for its conquests against various countries.

It's just Siam, well, I really can't find any faults in a short time.

It should be said that the Han Dynasty at this time, although the rituals and music had been broken for a long time, still wanted to save some face after all.

"E Guo Gong, how did you come up with this idea?" When everyone was blocked by a river, Hou Junji asked jokingly.

"Think?" Yuchi Jingde heard this and said nonchalantly, "Why don't you think about it? Aren't you in a hurry now? The Ming Dynasty has already conquered the city in Tianzhu, and we haven't even farted.

And looking at those soft persimmons in Tianzhu, they probably won’t be able to stop His Highness’s offensive. When the time comes, are you willing to see His Majesty’s face?

Now it is said that it is the Southern Expedition. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is those two who are fighting. As a minister, at this time, I have to commit suicide to solve the problems for my Majesty. "

After Yuchi Jingde finished speaking, everyone sighed, what the hell is this?

A father and his son are fighting each other, and they are the ones who are going to be in bad luck. Who can we ask to explain this?

"Dear princes, there is a bridge ten miles south to cross the river." At this moment, someone came to report.

Hearing this, Yuchi Jingde immediately stood up and said, "Okay, let's cross the river. I heard that fifty miles across the river is the Natai Mansion in Siam. There are about ten thousand defenders in the city."

With that said, everyone stood up, prepared to mount their horses, and headed straight for the bridge.

Soon, everyone had arrived at the bridge. As they were crossing the river, Li Ji suddenly said: "Leave a hundred or so people behind. First, we will consolidate the bridge to facilitate the army's crossing of the river in the future.

Secondly, it is also to provide support. After all, we have no experience in attacking Siam before, so we should not capsize in the gutter. "

When everyone heard this, they didn't say much.

Soon, everyone crossed the river and headed straight for Natai Mansion.

At the same time, Natai Mansion.

Yin Mengtai of Natai Mansion was like an ant on a hot pot at this time, which made him anxious.

During the years that Na Tai had been an official, he had never been so anxious.

The Tang Dynasty was the place that he was fascinated by. In the past, he only yearned for that great country, but he never felt worried.

How could they not understand the Han Dynasty?

For hundreds of years, the Han dynasty, whether in decline or in glory, had always only had the habit of conquering the nomadic peoples in the north, and had little experience of going south.

This made them feel less of a sense of crisis towards Datang.

Now, when he heard that several princes of the Tang Dynasty were heading south with hundreds of troops, how could he not be worried?

"Yin, His Majesty the King's messenger is here." Just when Mengtai was restless, someone hurried in.

While talking, the messenger also walked in.

Seeing Meng Tai's restless look, the messenger bowed his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. His Majesty the King has sent an envoy, which is just behind. In the end, this is Siam's fault. I want to know the reason." , I will give an explanation to Duke E of the Tang Dynasty."

This is the helplessness of small countries.

Even at this time, you still have to look for problems within yourself first.

If the identity were changed, let alone a minister, even if the concubine of the King of Siam ran to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, if the King of Siam dared to go north with his personal guards, the Tang Dynasty would dare to think that he was provoking a fight between the two countries. Citing border troubles, he sent his troops southward.

This is the country’s strong foundation.

Obviously, Siam does not have such confidence.

"Is this a matter of explanation?" Meng Tai was furious when he heard this, "Now that the princes of the Tang Dynasty and hundreds of generals are about to attack the city, why don't we, Siam, even give a shit?

I am here to invite you to fight!

To keep the enemy out of the country, when will there be any mission?

What I want is the order to send troops! "

Montena is so angry!

Although he was the governor of Natai Mansion, Siam and Tang Dynasty bordered each other, and he had always admired Han culture, so he was influenced by the Han dynasty in many aspects.

Even the official system is the same. Even though he, Mengtai, can dominate Natai Mansion with one hand, the military power of Natai Mansion is not in his hands, but in the hands of the generals in Natai Camp.

Unless there is the king's will, the Natai camp will not be dispatched by Mengtai at all.

But what is more interesting is that the general of Natai Camp, his military orders can only be effective within the military camp. If there is a war, Natai Camp will only be dispatched by the governor of Natai Mansion.

In other words, the military orders of General Natai Ying cannot leave the military camp, and the Natai Mansion must obtain the king's order if it wants to dispatch Natai Ying.

It’s hard to say whether Siam has learned anything else, but this method of checks and balances is truly passed down...

"It's just a few hundred people. Why should the governor worry?" The messenger was not panicked. "The Han Dynasty has no precedent of marching to the south since ancient times. Their eyes will only be fixed on the nomadic people in the north. Compared with They and we are not a threat to the Han Dynasty."

"Precedent?" Monte laughed when he heard this, "Do you know what precedent is? Precedents are meant to be broken! If we become a precedent, what will you do?

You are nomadic people in the north. Don’t you know that the Tang Dynasty is now peaceful in the north and the world has been at peace for a long time?

Are those arrogant and powerful generals of the Tang Dynasty worried about not knowing how to make contributions? "

He is so angry...

Why do I, Siam, have to leave my destiny to others to control?

It’s now time, shouldn’t I show my Siamese strength?

While the two were arguing, on the other side, Siamese Prime Minister Lan Ganxu had already led the delegation north to Natai 20 miles to meet Yuchi Jingde and his party.

"Who is blocking the way?" Yuchi Jingde immediately reined in his horse and asked when he saw someone blocking his group's path.

Lan Ganxu was not nervous at all. He held his hands and smiled and said: "I, Lan Ganxu, the Prime Minister of Siam, have met all the princes of the Tang Dynasty."

The Yaren on the side also hurriedly translated. (I won’t write about the translation process later, just know it.)

Upon hearing that it was the Prime Minister of Siam, Hou Junji, Li Ji and others also dismounted one after another.

Seeing Yuchi Jingde sitting on horseback with the old god still alive, Li Ji pulled him and whispered: "Etiquette is still required!"

Yuchi Jingde then dismounted and said: "It turns out that the Prime Minister is friendly, that's just right. The Prime Minister said to my Duke, what do you mean by Siam? You have deceived me by cheating on your marriage. You really think that I am easy to bully." Can't?

If I hadn't wanted to maintain diplomatic relations between the two countries, I would have called on my friends to seek justice today. Instead, I would have taken my Tang cavalry with me to search the mountains and seas to find that guy! "Hearing what Yuchi Jingde said, Lan Ganxu looked at the people brought by Yuchi Jingde and others, and discussed a few words with the person next to him, and he suddenly felt reassured.

When he came this time, he naturally brought many officials who had been on a mission to Chang'an in the past. During the discussion just now, he also confirmed that the people brought by Yuchi Jingde and others this time were all generals from various families. This is This is a good signal, indicating that this is just a personal grudge and has not yet reached the level of a dispute between the two countries.

"Don't worry, Duke E. Such bad behavior has alarmed His Majesty the King. His Majesty the King has sent an old minister here to investigate the matter thoroughly and give Duke E an explanation!"

"It's best to have an explanation!" Yuchi Jingde, who also had an unforgiving temper, said immediately, "I have been on the battlefield for more than ten years and have never suffered such a shameful humiliation. If Siam cannot give me an explanation, then I will If it doesn't work for me to seek justice on my own, I will go back to His Majesty to seek justice!

The Tang Dynasty never deceived others, but there was also no precedent of being deceived!

I remember that Ashina Dubi deceived us in the Tang Dynasty, but within three years, this thief was only qualified to dance in Chang'an to serve people. I think the envoys from Siam must have seen Ashina Dubi's dance! "

"That's natural, that's natural." While listening to the translation, Lan Ganxu discussed with the others, then nodded repeatedly, took advantage of the situation, clapped his hands, and saw rows of carriages behind him. Immediately, a group of beauties walked out, "You princes, please camp here for the time being. I will go investigate this matter."

During the investigation, they will serve the princes. "

When they saw this group of beautiful beauties, Yuchi Jingde and others looked at each other one after another, and they all saw sadness in their eyes.

This is the helplessness of a weak country.

A country that trades its women for peace, what dignity does it have left in the world?

They never imagined that in a few hundred years, a successor named Song would stage this scene again, but his identity at that time would be completely different.

"It's a joke, we, the great Tang Dynasty Duke, can't even enter the Thai city. Let us live in the wilderness, which is how you treat guests in Siam.

I understand that some of your troops have been to Chang'an before. How could you have been arranged like this when you entered Chang'an in the past? "When Hou Junji heard this, he immediately pointed at the man behind Lan Ganxu and said.

"It's all my improper arrangement." Lan Ganxu was not nervous at all and said quickly, "Everyone, please come here."

He was just testing it out, so naturally he would not deliberately anger people like Yuchi Jingde.

If there was just one Yuchi Jingde, he wouldn't actually be afraid, but there were several other princes in front of him, so he couldn't afford to offend him.

No matter how benevolent the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was, he might punish a prince, but so many people would have to be punished. The military of the Tang Dynasty probably wouldn't even be able to produce a few decent generals.

Of course, at this moment he was also wondering what the intentions of Yuchi Jingde and others were.

Attack Siam?

Just a few people are obviously talking nonsense.

Could it be that Yuchi Jingde was really angry because his wife ran away?

Yuchi Jingde and others didn't care about what he thought. He was a little disappointed at the moment. These guys were too soft-hearted.

You should be tough for once!

Stand up!

It's okay to be a little arrogant.

It would be great if I took advantage of the situation and threw you all into the pot, but as a result, I was a little embarrassed because you were so cowardly.

Unable to find an excuse to get angry, a group of people had no choice but to follow and walked towards Natai Mansion.

Along the way, Lan Ganxu was always smiling by his side.

Seeing his face, Yuchi Jingde thought in his heart, if one day the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty have the same face, I must kill him first. It's so damn disgusting!

When they reached the gate of Natai City, an interesting scene happened.

After receiving the news, Mengtai closed the city gate!

Seeing this scene, not to mention Yuchi Jingde, even Lan Ganxu was dumbfounded.

"Mengtai, what are you doing? Hurry up and open the city gate for me!" After asking someone about the specific situation, Lan Ganxu couldn't sit still at all. He had already sent someone to ask Mengtai to open the city gate. But Mengtai ignored the people he sent out. In desperation, he had no choice but to take action himself.

"It's a bit interesting. A local official kept the country outside the city gate. It's really a long time to see him." Hou Junji stroked his beard and watched the drama in front of him leisurely.

Yuchi Jingde and others also looked like they were watching a show.

Not to mention, this scene was rarely seen in the Tang Dynasty.

At the city gate, Meng Tai saw Lan Ganxu walking out, and then he held up a tin trumpet and said, "It turns out it's a meeting with the state minister. I'm sorry."

"Hey, wasn't that thing produced in the Ming Dynasty?" Yuchi Jingde said when he saw the tin trumpet, "Have all the things from the Ming Dynasty been sold to Siam?"

"What do you think?" Hou Junji shook his head and said, "I heard that there is a Changming Restaurant in Siam City. Do you believe it?"

Having said this, he also sighed and said, "Today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the Wu Xia Amen back then."

In the front, Lan Ganxu heard this and immediately said angrily: "Since you know it's me, why don't you open the door quickly!"

"I'm sorry, but the Prime Minister doesn't know. Recently, my Natai Mansion has been repeatedly visited by thieves. Just now, several large houses in the city were looted by thieves. I finally blocked them in the city and am preparing to catch turtles in the jar. , if it is opened this time, if the thieves are allowed to escape in the chaos, there will be no way to explain to the people in the city, right?" Meng Tai's meaning is very obvious, I will not open this city gate.

He would not allow the Tang Dynasty's army to enter Natai Mansion with such arrogance.

In his words, the Tai Mansion can be thrown away, but it must be brought in by Datang with one knife and one shot. But it is impossible for him to bring in the bandit camp!

After Tingya translated the conversation between the two of them, Yuchi Jingde and others walked forward with smiles and said: "Your country is quite interesting. You are the prime minister of the country, but you were stopped outside the city by a governor. If you look around the world, you can probably see it in Siam."

"You gentlemen are just laughing at this." Lan Ganxu blushed furiously and scolded Meng Tai half to death in his heart.

"That's not true." Yuchi Jingde smiled and said, "If the Prime Minister has no way to deal with this governor, do you want me to help?"

"Do you have any clever ideas, sir?" When Lan Ganxu heard this, he also wanted to test Yuchi Jingde's depth.

When Yuchi Jingde heard this, he laughed loudly: "To deal with such villains, there is no need for any clever tricks, one arrow is enough!"

After saying that, the general of the Zhen family cooperated and handed over a bow.

"It's not possible, it's not that far." Lan Ganxu quickly stopped him.

Are you kidding? If you really want to solve it like this, you still need Yuchi Jingde?

When Yuchi Jingde saw this, he didn't insist. He just smiled and said: "Then Prime Minister, please hurry up. I'm tired from the journey. You won't let me wait for the Tang Dynasty Duke to sleep under the city gate, right?"

This is not the way to treat guests..."
