Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 398 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.
In the main hall of the Stone King's Palace, Fang Chongyong summoned all the generals to gather together to discuss how to deal with the big cannibal sending envoys to sue for peace.
It is now obvious that the Great Cannibal is at an absolute strategic disadvantage and is unable to launch a counterattack, at least within two years.
Therefore, Fang Chongyong and the others were not too worried about a sneak attack from the Big Eater, and they had almost reached a consensus on this point.
But just because the giant cannibals can't attack them doesn't mean they can't defend themselves from their home base in Central Asia!
Mulu City is the place where the black-clad "Black Flag Army" made its fortune, and the Black Flag Army was the absolute force that put Abbas on the throne and changed the world!
The Tang army fought in Anxi, Guishang and other places north of Kang State. It was much less difficult than crossing the desert to the west bank of the Wuhu River and then continuing deep into the barren land!
In the eyes of outsiders, Jinsi Kaiya is just a plaything of Fang Chongyong, and her scarcity is worse than that big five-color parrot that can only imitate human speech!
This plaything's brother was killed by the Great Eater, and it was because this guy was stubborn and had to ask the Great Eater to send troops to fight the Tang army. It was the Great Eater who killed him in order to make a good deal with the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, it is highly debatable whether we should "get angry for a beauty". If Fang Chongyong pushed it forcefully, he would probably alienate his subordinates.
He Changqi and the others secretly thought that the big cannibal's sword was a good one, otherwise this prince would still be a strong contender for the heir of the Shi Kingdom, plus Jinsikeya's pillow style. It is very possible that this guy will do better in the future than before.
Of course, no matter what they thought, Fang Chongyong had the final say.
"Let's talk about it, what should we do with this head?"
Fang Chongyong asked, pointing to the wooden box placed on the table in front of him.
Feng Changqing mentioned an unusual question.
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Chongyong looked around at the generals and asked, seeming to move.
Fang Chongyong waved his hand, signaling Feng Changqing to speak quickly and don't beat around the bush!
"Alright Commander-in-Chief, a few days ago, when I went to check the terrain in the north of Kang State, I heard something.
The winter here is not hot. To be precise, the nights are a bit cold. The winter desert west of Parthia is not as hot and unbearable as other times.
Doesn't this seem strange? "
Moreover, the envoy of the cannibal came so easily and quickly, and the prince of the Stone Kingdom was able to escape from Kang State to the depths of the desert on the west bank of the Wuhu River.
Wang Nannan, Duan Xiushi and others all shook their heads and sighed in silence. What they wanted to express was very clear.
"Jie Shuai went to war for a woman, and he was still an opponent like Da Canni. The last general and the generals attending the meeting here may not have any ideas, but the brothers below are not sure what they think.
It seems that the bed skills of the Holy Lady from the Stone Kingdom need to be improved. Fang Chongyong is clear-headed and does not confuse official matters with private matters.
You said that the cannibal messengers crossed over from the desert and took a nearly straight path. It is understandable, otherwise they would not have come so fast.
Just when everyone present was about to defend themselves, Fang Chongyong continued: "But the Prince of Stone Kingdom must be killed by us!"
How about taking this matter a little longer? "
"This commander believes that not only does he deserve to die, but he has committed a heinous crime. If he falls into my hands, I will kill him in every possible way. This is the most basic attitude.
In other words, it was possible to cross that desert and reach Mulu City by staying up all day and traveling at night.
Feng Changqing cupped his fists and saluted.
“If we let him live, he cannot die.
The last general thought he could try to cross the desert and raid the cannibal's lair, Mulu City.
Again, she is just a girl from the Stone Kingdom. The little thing about her lower body can be just for fun or brought back to Chang'an. It is not a big deal.
Well, he almost said that he served as the vanguard of the former army and led the way.
Fang Chongyong was noncommittal and looked at the others and asked.
He Changqi stood up and broke the deadlock and said.
But when the prince of Stone Kingdom fled, what support did he have?
The Kangguo army is now sending troops to Guishang, Anxi and other places! Who else dares to support the "restoration" of the Prince of Stone Kingdom?
"Say it, don't hide it."
But let the soldiers of the three armies avenge this woman's brother, cross the desert, and carry out desperate attacks.
It happens to be December now. Take advantage of this time to go back and forth. Three months is enough! We don't want to occupy the land, but we will give the big cannibals a good beating. We will take as much as we can. The craftsmen, women, books, and money over there will take whatever they have, roll them up and leave.
Killing this former Prince of Stone means that we will reward our friends who cooperate with us and punish our enemies who oppose us.
Seeing that everyone was afraid to speak, Fang Chongyong asked and answered himself:
On the other hand, as long as you don't get lost, there is no problem in starting from Mulu City to Samojian City.
"What do you think?"
Everyone in the hall had different expressions. They all wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was awkward for a while. There are many things that everyone understands, but it is taboo to say them, which is sometimes quite confusing.
"You guys, what can I say to the commander of this section?"
"Commander Jie, since you shocked the dignitaries of the surrounding small countries at the Stone Palace last time, they have voluntarily given a lot of grain to support our battle. Now these grains are piled in the granary in Zhezhi City.
If we let him die, he can't live!
Without our consent, without judging the sins of the Prince of Stone Kingdom and punishing him according to the law, the Great Cannibal actually killed this man.
He said it very politely, but the others probably scolded him even more harshly in their hearts.
This is a bit much!
"Do you have the same idea as He Lao Hu?"
The bandits can go, and so can I. This is a seasonal road, and there are many Hu businessmen who know the route. You can walk it from November to February of the following year.
With this baggage, it is enough to launch an expedition of ten thousand people.
Fang Chongyong sighed and asked: "Do you think this so-and-so, the Prince of Shiguo, should die?"
Even if his sister sleeps with Benjieshuai, nothing will change. "
You can give it a try. "
This is challenging our authority! Intolerable!
I think this is where the cannibal’s plan comes into play. If they were sincere, they could send the Prince of Stone Kingdom back, so why would they kill him first? "
Fang Chongyong explained to everyone.
When the two countries are at war, any inconspicuous thing may hide a profound plot. The Great Eater may believe that since Jin Sikeya is now Fang Chongyong's mistress, if the Prince of Shiguo comes back to take the throne, he will most likely change his stance and side with the Tang Dynasty.
When the time comes, the situation west of Congling will be very unfavorable to the cannibals!
Of course, if they knew that Fang Chongyong had sentenced this prince to death in his heart, they would kill him no matter what. Maybe he would actually let the other party go.
We can only say what has happened, we cannot assume.
“The people in the Western Region are not convinced, and many people are worried about the return of the cannibals.
So these people are all looking to see if we can fight out. If we can fight it out and capture a large number of people, money, books and other items and return them to the Stone Kingdom, then we will be more confident when we visit this place, and more people will take the initiative to cooperate with us.
If we want the people here to listen to our great principles, we can’t do it without a sword to clear the way.
My sword is not bad at all! "After saying that, Fang Zhongyong pulled out the Swift Wind Phantom Sword and made a knife-like gesture.
So that’s it!
He Changqi patted his chest and said, "Jie Shuai, let's try again?"
"Plan carefully, we are not going to die. This time we can only travel lightly. We must prepare in advance what we need to bring and what we cannot bring.
Let's break up now. You can think of your own strategies and just talk to the commander of this section in private. "
Fang Chongyong announced the adjournment of the meeting with a wave of his hand. He knew that many people would offer suggestions in private.
Because the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!
……
Huashan is regarded as the "natal mountain" by Brother Ji, and he attaches great importance to it. Every year, he allocates money to the Taoist temple here for repairs. The most important temple in Huashan is Xiyue Temple. The temple is located ten miles below Huashan Mountain and five miles east of Huayin.
But this place is obviously not suitable for Li Xuan to live, unless he ascends the throne as emperor one day.
However, although Xiyue Temple cannot live in it, it is better to live in the Baiyun Palace of his aunt Princess Jinxian. Brother Ji's half-sister, Princess Yuzhen's sister, passed away more than ten years ago, and Baiyun Palace has been empty ever since.
After Li Xuan moved in, he moved around the Huashan area all day long, dressing up as a Taoist priest. Although his life was boring, he was also free and easy.
It wasn't that he didn't want to study, but that Brother Ji had ordered him to "pray devoutly."
In fact, I just want to raise him like a waste.
Li Chen didn't care at all, or in other words, after coming to Huashan and leaving the cage-like East Palace, he felt at ease.
On this day, Li Chen completed his "homework" as usual, that is, he went to the Xiyue Temple at the foot of the mountain to "pray" for Brother Ji. When he returned to Baiyun Palace in the evening, Cheng Yuanzhen quietly brought a Taoist priest to Li Han, and then guarded the other courtyard, not allowing anyone to approach.
Seeing the kind-faced middle-aged "Taoist priest" in front of him, Li Chan asked doubtfully: "May I ask you..."
"Prince Shou is really a noble man who forgets things. Now that he has become the prince, he no longer recognizes me as the former minister of the Ministry of punishment and the envoy of transportation."
The man bowed his hands to Li Chan, and then Li Chan recognized who the person in front of him was!
"Wei Jian! It's you!
Haven't you been exiled to Lingnan?
Some people say that the guest has died in a foreign country! "
Li Chen looked horrified. He never expected that Wei Jian, who had been exiled to Lingnan, was still alive and returned to Guanzhong!
But he quickly regained his composure, because with Wei's network, it was too easy to protect a person, although it was extremely difficult to get Wei Jian back again!
The mountains in Lingnan are high and the emperor is far away. Find a dead ghost to replace him. The old identity disappears and the person lives, and he changes to a new identity of a Taoist priest. For Jingzhao Weishi, whose hands and eyes are as bright as the sky, it is not too simple!
"Now, Wei has become a monk, with the Taoist name Jingtian. The prince is also a lay disciple of Taoism, and he is under house arrest here by the emperor, which is the same as becoming a monk.
You and I might as well address each other as Taoist friends, regardless of seniority. "
Wei Jian said very freely.
Li Chan was doubtful about this. A man who had escaped from death and participated in rebellion actually said that he had become a monk.
Who believes it!
But Wei Jian's temperament does look like a Taoist priest.
"Okay, fellow Taoist Jingtian, what do you mean you came to me this time?"
Li Chen asked helplessly. In fact, he had already guessed the other party's intention.
“Prince, you are a smart man.
You had the chance to kill the emperor that day, but you didn't, and the result was terrible for us. "
Wei Jian had a bitter look on his face. The life he had lived in the past few years was really unbearable to look back on.
"You know that the emperor can't tolerate me, so you came to me, right?"
Li Chen asked with a calm expression.
Wei Jian did not deny, but nodded and said: "If Li Heng had your mind, we would have won back then. I think the prince should know best what the emperor's situation is now. After all, in order to let the news of the emperor's illness spread all over the sky , Prince, you have put in a lot of effort."
"I want to tell fellow Taoist Jingtian that it was just me who was bored and wanted to have some fun.
If you really want to confront the emperor openly and openly, even ten of me will not be enough to kill him.
So just do whatever you need to do without calling me. "
Li Chen shook his head and rejected Wei Jian in a very subtle way.
"Prince, is it possible that you really can't see what the future will be like?
The saint could no longer restrain the kings from competing for the throne. Once his condition worsened, the capital would be in turmoil.
When the time comes, the prince will definitely bear the brunt! To put it bluntly, it is hard to say whether the prince can save his life by then!
Please believe that we are powerful and can definitely protect the prince and overcome all obstacles.
We have people in Chang'an, in Bianzhen, and in Henan!
If we want to get rid of someone, even the prime minister, it can only be done with a backhand!
With my help, the prince can easily reach the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan! "
Wei Jian has already made his words clear!
"Even if we win, even if we reach the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, what will happen?"
Li Chen sighed and asked calmly.
As soon as he heard this, Wei Jian knew that there was no chance of winning over the prince. The man in front of me is still alive physically, but his heart is dead.
A person whose heart is dead can no longer be helped up. No matter how resourceful he is, he has the appearance of a king.
"You go away, I won't do anything, and I won't tell anyone. You go find other princes. It may be useful, but I don't know.
Don't worry, although Gu is too lazy to bother, he is happy to see the results. "
After speaking, Li Chen stood up and made a "please" gesture.
This is the time to see off guests.
Wei Jian took a deep look at Li Chen, then nodded slightly and said, "The prince has noble conduct and is indifferent to fame and fortune, which is admirable. Please take care of yourself, prince. I hope that when the storm is high in the future, the prince can turn the crisis around."
"Life and death are only determined by fate and wealth."
Li Chen shook his head and didn't want to say anything more.
Wei Jian bowed to him respectfully, then turned and left.
Since the best option doesn't work, we can only settle for the next best option.
