Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Is there such a thing? This is too strange."

"Who said it wasn't? The King of Qin didn't really believe it at the beginning. Didn't you take Lei Shuyao, the saint of your Liao people, into your house a few days ago? But within a few days, this Lei Shuyao fell ill and died. Dead. It's so evil, I can't help but believe it!"

"It's not easy." Yang Sheng frowned.

"Why is it difficult?"

"I have announced the marriage between King Qin and Qingqing to the world. Now that I regret it, what can Qingqing do?"

Chapter 2101 The desperate Yang Sheng

"Announce the world?" Li Yifu was taken aback, and said, "Why didn't I know about this?"

"Uh... Although it was announced to the world, but in fact it was only told to Liaoren and Baiman. It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it."

"It's your fault. King Qin hasn't agreed yet, why did you spread the word?"

Yang Sheng sighed, and said: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's just that I can't delay this matter."

"what happened?"

"It's a long story. I thought I brought my people here to escape. In order to obtain Baiman's protection, I took my sister with me to ask the head of the Cuan clan. Unexpectedly, I met Dong Maoshi, the son of the head..."

"Wait..." Li Yifu interrupted: "Shouldn't the son of the chief of the Cuan clan be named Cuan? Why is his surname Dong?"

"That's what you don't know. The so-called Cuan family refers to a tribe that originated in Cuandi. As for the surnames of the people in the tribe, they are not Cuan. To put it simply, there are four surnames: Dong, Li, Yang, and Zhao. There are some small surnames."

"Why are they all Chinese surnames?"

"It's not surprising. The Cuan family was originally Han, but they took refuge here during the chaos of the Five Dynasties. Of course, after so many years of intermarriage with the local tribes, they are no longer pure Han, nor do they consider themselves Han. .”

"So that's how it is. Mr. Li has been taught." Li Yifu nodded and said, "Go on, what's going on with this Dong Maoshi?"

"Dong Maoshi was shocked when he saw Qingqing, and wanted to marry her. But Qingqing looked down on him and firmly disagreed. Later, Dong Maoshi was so angry that he took Qingqing into captivity. In order not to make her Qingqing was humiliated, so I frightened him, saying that Qingqing was already engaged to King Qin."

Li Yifu rolled his eyes and said, "If I'm not wrong, this happened before I came to recruit you, right?"

"Uh... Exactly. In fact, this incident not only happened before you came, but also before we met the chief of the Cuan clan. Originally, we were seeking asylum, but such an accident happened, and we can't say anything about seeking asylum." If so, I will declare that I am going forward for the King of Qin."

"Go forward for King Qin? You pretended to be King Qin and declared war on Bai Man?"

"Of course not, but it's about the same. I said that King Qin sent me here to ask Cuan if he would like to serve Tang as the master? If so, then everything is easy to talk about. If not, I'm afraid we will meet with each other. "

Li Yifu's eyes widened, and he said: "You are so courageous, you dare to falsely pass on King Qin's order!"

Yang Sheng rolled his eyes and said: "At that time we were enemies but not friends, why would I not dare? Besides, when the situation was urgent, I would have to suffer immediate losses if I didn't pull King Qin's tiger skin, what was there not to dare?"

"It's also...uh...wrong!"

Li Yifu suddenly shook his head, and said: "King Liao is a thousand years old, we wise people don't speak secretly. You are seeking asylum in the first place, but Dong Maoshi is willing to make Qin and Jin friends with Lingmei. What are you not happy about?"

"I'm happy, Qingqing is not, what can I do?"

"Hmph, when the Han Dynasty brought princesses to marry, did they ask them if they were willing? Could it be that Yang Qingqing is more expensive than the princess?"

"I can't let go of Qingqing, can't I? Han people are Han people, and Liao people are Liao people. This king is not as disregarding family affection as your Han emperor."

Li Yifu raised his eyebrows, and said: "If you say that, then I have nothing to say. How about this, I don't want to be nosy. If you are willing to surrender, then bring the people back to Tang Dynasty. If you don't want to surrender, Please also give me a promise."

While talking, he stood up and said: "Where are we going? Please tell me, King Liao Qiansui. I am still in a hurry to return to King Qin."

"Don't, don't, don't... Let me tell you! Is it still okay?" Li Yifu quickly stopped him, and said, "It's actually like this..."

It turned out that Baiman and Liaoren were feuds, and the two sides had been fighting each other for hundreds of years.The final result was a big victory for the Baiman and a big defeat for the Liao people.The failed Liao people climbed over the mountains and fled into Shu. This is the history of the Liao people entering Shu.

The land now occupied by Baiman originally belonged to the Liao people.So in fact, the relationship between the Liao people and the Baiman is somewhat similar to the Arabs and Israel in today's society.

The gap between them is much deeper than the gap between the Liao people and the Han people.

This time Yang Sheng suffered a great loss from the Han people, so he ran to the Liao people to seek refuge, which was very unreliable.

The reason why he dared to do this was because he had some contacts with Dong Maocheng, the second son of the chief of the Cuan clan.Dong Maocheng is also an ambitious man, and he recruited Yang Sheng to prepare for foreign aid to seize the position of patriarch.The two had secretly communicated the song.

However, there are unpredictable circumstances and people have good fortune and misfortune.Dong Maocheng was very ambitious, but he was unlucky. He got a serious illness at a young age and died.

Just die, the problem is that the time to die is too bad.It happened that when Yang Sheng retreated to Baiman territory, he died.

Now Yang Sheng was in chaos.No matter how cruel Guo Ye is, he is still a civilized person with a bottom line.But Baiman is different, the two sides are feuds, and they are all jealous.One is wrong, among the more than 3 people he brought, I am afraid that none of them will be spared.

But now that I have come all by myself, it is not so easy to leave.He had no choice but to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, so he took Yang Qingqing to see the patriarch of the Cuan clan.

Hearing this, Li Yifu's heart moved, and he said: "Since you know that this negotiation is very difficult, why did you bring Miss Qingqing there? Oh, I understand, it was your idea to dare to marry Yang Qingqing!"

"Oh, I did mean that at first. At the beginning, I suggested to Dong Maoshi that Qingqing is the concubine of the King of Qin, but it was asking for a lot of money. If the negotiation goes well in the future, I will not be unable to agree to this marriage."

"Does the young lady agree?"

Yang Sheng smiled wryly and said: "It involves the lives of tens of thousands of people, what else can she do? Don't talk about marrying Dong Maoshi, even if she is married to a pig and a dog, she dare not refuse. Such a thing, whether you are willing or not , Isn't it too extravagant?"

Li Yifu sneered and said: "It's a pity, you are just sending your daughter~ to the door, but Bai Man still doesn't look at you seriously. The negotiation broke down?"

"Yes. The patriarch of the Cuan clan is called Dong Sijiang, and he wants to degrade all the 3 people I brought with me into slaves of the Baiman. How can I agree to this request?"

"and then?"

"Then, in a hurry, I claimed that I had lied to the King of Qin, saying that I was going to conquer Baiman for him, so I was allowed to come here with my people. If Baiman deceives people too much, there is no way, I can only pretend The play is really done, it's really down."

Li Yifu said: "I'm afraid this lie won't last long? No matter how closed the news about Bai Man is, such a big news can't be hidden from them."

"Exactly. So, even if you don't come to persuade you to surrender, I will send someone to contact King Qin."

"Then why did you lie before?"

"Do you need to ask? Voluntary surrender and forced surrender are two different things. Although I didn't mention any conditions, but for the sake of my voluntary surrender, the King of Qin will not treat me badly, right? However, if the King of Qin knows my real situation , then the treatment after the surrender is hard to say."

Li Yifu thought to himself, you guessed wrong.It makes no difference whether you voluntarily surrender or are forced to surrender.You are doomed to die no matter what, but as for your followers, they can live a good life.

He smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "This is Liaoren Qiansui, you are not kind, you are simply treating the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. In fact, no matter what reason you surrendered, King Qin Qiansui will treat each other with courtesy .”

"That's right, that's right. Xiao Wang knew he was wrong."

"It's good to know you're wrong, but I don't know what you plan to do in the future?"

"What else can I do?" Yang Sheng said helplessly: "I can't wait to see you first. The current situation is that Qingqing is imprisoned by Baiman. My more than 3 members are also under surveillance. , thanks to the rescue of King Qin Qiansui."

"How did you talk to Bai Man?"

"They expressed that they want King Qin to come in person and form an alliance with Baiman. Only in this way will they be willing to let Qingqing and my tribe go. If King Qin refuses, please raise troops to fight."
