Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Jing was a little hesitant. He still had another person in his hand, Murong Fuyun's eldest son, Murong Shun. Time surrendered to Li Jing.

According to the original troop plan in the eighth year of Zhenguan, if Tuyuhun is defeated, the best way must be to choose a person who is friendly to Datang, support an original nobleman of Tuyuhun, and Li Shimin canonize him as the new leader of Tuyuhun. Khan, and then Datang garrisoned troops, so as to achieve the purpose of Datang to control Tuyuhun.

But then the king of Shu... oh, no, His Royal Highness King Qin proposed a series of policies to allow the Tang Dynasty's perfect garrison to control the entire Tuyuhun. Then at this time, it is natural to directly expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, Li Jing has no objection. As a general However, it is to expand the territory.

The envoys before Li Ke also brought a brand new imperial edict to Li Jing. As long as Li Ke is not very out of line, Li Jing has full authority to obey Li Ke's orders, and Li Ke has the right to deploy troops.

As for what is very outrageous, this is up to Li Jing to decide for himself.

In fact, this kind of decision is very difficult, but in this era, it is impossible to keep in touch with Chang'an all the time. Sending a group of envoys in a few days is already the limit, and it is impossible to use eight hundred miles to expedite, so the fastest speed is also It takes about five days to reach Chang'an, which requires the constant replacement of messengers and horses at each post station.

It's just that it's not like rushing overnight for eight hundred miles.

Murong Shun was originally the candidate for Tuyuhun's next Khan, but Li Ke's current approach... Li Jing is also a little speechless, he doesn't understand what Li Ke is going to do.

"Your Highness, why don't you communicate with the old minister? Otherwise, I don't know what to do." Li Jing smiled bitterly. In fact, he had very little communication with Li Ke, and he didn't know much about Li Ke, and he was here. While fighting, he didn't know what happened in Chang'an City, and his impression of Li Ke was still in the past.

What Li Ke said just now, of course he knew that Li Ke was joking, because although Li Ke was a little reckless, he was not that kind of character at all.

Li Ke glanced at Li Jing, he thought for a while, and he really needed to have a good communication with Li Jing, after all, Li Jing was the general of Zhengtu Yuhun, and also the supreme commander, although he said that he was temporarily under the control of Xizhou Capital Protectorate, but this restraint was just restraint, Li Jing must have the right to speak.

When Li Ke came over, he brought an imperial edict for Li Jing, but Li Ke didn't read it himself. The imperial edict was sealed, so Li Jing could only read it himself.

Who knows what Li Shimin told Li Jing inside.

"Duke Dai." Li Ke thought for a while, and then said, "To put it bluntly, our Tang Dynasty has the potential to come to court from all nations, and my father is even called Tian Khan."

Li Jing: "???" This is not a good word.

"But in my opinion, this is Kaizi." Li Ke said.

"Eh?" Li Jing was a little confused, obviously he couldn't understand the word Kaizi.

"A dialect of our Tang Dynasty means rich, but wasting money, in the eyes of others, it actually means a fool." Li Ke roughly explained, but he really didn't think of a suitable ancient word to describe this.

"How do you say this?" Li Jing didn't quite understand. In fact, although Li Jing was a general, except for a few generals in the Tang Dynasty, most of them were both civil and military, including Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde. They are both civil and military.

In fact, Li Jing's military status is not so strong, and many of his behaviors are more like some civil servants. At least his thinking is the same as most ancient people, for example... the thinking of heaven and the kingdom.

"There are only interests between countries and nothing else, am I right?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"Yes." Li Jing nodded, this is the truth.

"In this case, why do so many small countries give me the opportunity to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, but they actually came to ask for rewards? For example, they gave my father a gift worth the usual money, but my father felt that as a Heavenly Dynasty Shangguo, when you are happy, return 10 pennies in return, isn’t that what it is? There are many small countries with no ambitions around, and this is the happiest time of the year.” Li Ke said.

Li Jing choked... He couldn't refute this. In fact, he thought there was nothing wrong with it. As the suzerain country, of course he should be more generous?You can't be stingy, right?

In fact, the problem Li Ke mentioned is not just about the Tang Dynasty. It may be that China has been too strong for most of the 5000-year history, so all dynasties and dynasties have this problem.

Can you believe that many small countries rely on this to make a living?This is really not an exaggeration. You must know that some small countries may have a total population of only 6000 or [-] people.

"So what do you mean, Your Highness?" Li Jing didn't refute, mainly because he felt that as the suzerain country, it seemed right to do so, but what Li Ke said... seemed right?How can there be any friendship between countries?Isn't it all benefits?

Take Tuyuhun, who they had just cleaned up, as an example. Tuyuhun was a vassal with Datang before, how did he become a vassal in the end?I want to ask you for something, if you don't give it to me, I will rob you if you don't give it to me, and force you to give it to me, what the hell is it called a vassal?

It is a miracle that Li Shimin can endure until today. The point is this kind of thing. First there was East Turkic, and then there was Tuyuhun.

It can only be said... outrageous, reality is much more outrageous than fiction, writing a novel requires logic, but reality is illogical.

"I, Li Ke, His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, with a knife in my hand, a dude, can't decide whether to be happy or angry, either give money or get beaten." Li Ke repeated.

Well... Li Jing understood Li Ke's meaning, the fox pretended to be the tiger, and the Tang Dynasty was in full swing. At this time, no one dared to stroke the tiger's beard, so no matter how Li Ke played, the surrounding small countries could only follow Li Ke's ideas. .

"To weaken the enemy is to strengthen oneself!" Li Ke added, "So, Duke Dai, you have to cooperate with me in this matter."

Li Jing thought for a while, and there was nothing wrong with him. Of course he wanted to see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and since Li Shimin was relieved to let Li Ke come, then in Li Shimin's heart, Li Ke was the most suitable. Like or other emotional reasons simply sent Li Ke to such an important position.

"No problem. Your Highness will tell you what the old minister needs to cooperate with." Li Jing nodded and agreed directly. "However, there is still one person here, Murong Fuyun's eldest son, Murong Shun, who surrendered."

Li Jing immediately told Li Ke about Murong Shun and the original way of dealing with Murong Shun.

"I don't think this is difficult to understand. The simplest thing is, Dai Guogong, do you think he really admires my Tang Dynasty, or is he like the Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms period, and each family bets?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

Li Jing paused, "This...veteran can't guarantee it." Thinking about it carefully, what His Royal Highness Qin Wang said is not unreasonable.

"Then let's go and see Murong Shun first." Li Ke said with a smile, but after finishing speaking, Li Ke paused again and said, "Forget it, let's wait."

Now that I have just arrived, if I am so anxious to see him, it doesn't fit my personality, who is not an actor?

Li Jing was a little puzzled, but did not refute.

"One day, my business has already started to deliver the first batch of supplies, and the follow-up supplies will be delivered directly. When they arrive, the things I need will arrive." Li Ke said.

"Understood." Li Jing didn't say much, Li Ke had already communicated with them in these aspects.

"However, there is a problem." Li Jing said helplessly.

"Huh?" Li Ke looked at Li Jing with some doubts.

"Your Highness, you asked for envoys to go to these two countries. To achieve the effect you want, I don't have any suitable people under my command. I am all generals here, and the ministers in the court can satisfy your request." Li Jing was a little speechless. He said, Li Ke's request seems simple, but it is almost impossible for these big bastards to achieve that effect.

Li Ke: "..."
