Fu Tang

Shi Xueting's face was serious, he didn't ask people to kill, why did he kill?Since it is framed and blamed, of course the proof is that people are alive. Isn't it okay to let the Kara Khanate say anything about the dead?

What's more, in the territory of Kara Khanate, they can suppress people who are really dead.

Shi Xueting even made a plan, a wave of robbery in the past, and then another wave of caravans pretending to be suppressed by Datang, and escorting them back to Kievan Rus principality to file a complaint.

In order for everything to go smoothly, even the caravan to attack was specially found out by Shi Xueting.

This caravan is under the command of Vladimir Svyatoslavich, the younger brother of the Grand Duke of Kievan Rus. Li Congjia is not very familiar with this person. This unfamiliarity stems from his knowledge of the history of the Kievan Rus Principality. He is not particularly proficient, but he knows that there was a Grand Duke Vladimir I in the Principality of Kievan Rus in history. If it is this one... something happened to the caravan must not be good.

He didn't object to Shi Xueting choosing this caravan back then, but now something went wrong.

Li Congjia had no choice but to ask: "Did the Kara Khanate get the news, so they acted in advance?"

Shi Xueting shook his head: "It's not in advance, it should be delayed. After my people snatched the caravan from the Principality of Kievan Rus, they ran away directly, preparing for the next wave of troops to take over. It turned out that in the process, These people were killed."

Li Congjia frowned: "The timing is very accurate, so... the Kara Khanate did it on purpose?"

Shi Xueting said: "It's hard to say now, we have to wait for the follow-up news, but it doesn't matter, even if it doesn't work this time, there will always be a time when it will be possible."

Li Congjia had some regrets: "But in this way, the caravan from Kievan Rus Principality may not come again."

Shi Xueting smiled and said, "Then our goal has not been achieved?"

Li Congjia thought about it, and it seems that this is the reason. Anyway, from the very beginning, they wanted to unite with the Kievan Rus Principality to put pressure on the Kara Khanate. It is not bad that the demise of a caravan can make the Principality of Kievan Rus pay attention.

However, the Kara Khanate was far more unique than they thought—they directly left Tang Dao and other equipment in the Tang Dynasty directly on the scene.

Not only Li Congjia and Shi Xueting knew this news, but other officials of the Tang Dynasty also knew that the Kara Khanate sent a letter of credence to condemn it.

It's just that Li Congjia and Shi Xueting knew about it earlier. While the two of them were still discussing, Yang Xin had already come to report.

Li Congjia couldn't help laughing when he saw the letter of denunciation from the Kara Khanate. Yang Xin looked at Li Congjia in surprise, wondering how he could still laugh!

Li Congjia could laugh, but he couldn't. Yang Xin couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, this is clearly framed by the Kara Khanate."

Can you stop laughing?Solve it.

Li Congjia threw the credentials aside and said, "We can see this credential, and it is estimated that the other one is almost here in Kievan Rus Principality."

Yang Xin looked at Li Congjia eagerly, but Li Congjia suddenly asked, "What do you think should be done?"

Yang Xin was dumbfounded, what could he do?He is a minister of the Honglu Temple. Although he is in charge of diplomatic matters, they are usually trivial and not important matters. He can just make decisions directly. When encountering such matters involving two countries... ...he can't be the master.

But he glanced at Shi Xueting who was reading a book next to Li Congjia, and knew that his master probably wouldn't save him, not only would he not save him, but if he didn't get the point, he might even punish him.

Yang Xin sorted out his thoughts and said: "This matter is obviously that the Kara Khanate wants to provoke a war between us and the Principality of Kievan Rus. Well, it is not a war. After all, the Principality of Kievan Rus is too far away from us, and it is said that their side It's not peaceful either, and it may not have any thoughts about Datang, it may be that the Kara Khanate is worried that we will join hands with the Principality of Kievan Rus to attack on both sides, so it destroys the possibility of our alliance."

Li Congjia nodded approvingly: "That's right, what do you think?"

Yang Xin hesitated for a moment and said decisively: "Wait."

"Oh?" Li Congjia asked: "I just saw you like that, you hope I can find a way? Why do you have to wait here?"

Yang Xin shrank his neck and said, "I... have no great ability, so I can only choose to wait and see the reaction of the Principality of Kievan Rus, but if it is His Majesty... maybe there is another way."

"Nonsense." Li Congjia scolded with a smile and said, "Indeed, it's the most appropriate to wait now, don't think too much, just pretend that there is no such thing."

Yang Xin nodded and didn't say anything else. Anyway, he just came to send a message, and what to do in the end is what the boss of the court needs to care about.

After Yang Xin left, Li Congjia said, "This time Musa...was he retarded?"

Such an obvious handle, if you have a deeper understanding of the Kievan Rus Principality, you will know that the weapons left on the scene are basically the standard weapons of the Tang army. Who the hell sent troops to other countries to rob the caravans of other countries? Ah, there is a hole in the brain?When you send troops, you send them without even changing their weapons. Are you afraid that others will not know?

Shi Xueting pondered and said: "This kind of thing depends on what the Kara Khanate says. What if they say that Datang did this on purpose, so as to dispel the suspicion of the Kievan Rus Principality?"

Li Congjia suddenly felt that...there is such a possibility, this matter is complicated and confusing, no matter who says it makes sense.

Now it seems that it is really better to stand still. Anyway, the caravan was destroyed in the Kara Khanate. In any case, the Kara Khanate cannot escape this responsibility. Even if it was really intercepted by the Tang Dynasty, you guys The law and order of the Kara Khanate is also too bad, right?

There is no guarantee for caravans from other countries in your country, who would want to come?

It's just that no one thought that the Principality of Kievan Rus had just sent a letter of condemnation to the Kara Khanate, and had no intention of making this matter a big deal at all.

What's more, the person who wrote to Musa was not the Grand Duke Yaropolk I Svyatoslavich of the Principality of Kievan Rus at all, but the owner of the caravan, Vladimir Svyatoslavi. strange.

It's just that everyone knows that such an ordinary letter of condemnation is basically ignored by no one. After all, it is neither painful nor itchy and will not cause international disputes.

As for Datang... the Principality of Kievan Rus didn't respond at all, as if they didn't know there was such a country.

During the Xiaochao meeting, everyone was analyzing the motives of the Principality of Kievan Rus. Everyone was not worried that the Principality of Kievan Rus would swallow their anger, but what they were worried about was that the country would do something else after swallowing it!

Li Congjia was not worried at all. Seeing Wei Renpu's worried look, he couldn't help coughing lightly and said, "This matter is actually not that complicated. Vladimir is the younger brother of King Yaropolk I. It is said that King Yaropolk I His position is not very stable, and his two younger brothers are fighting with him for power, so I don't have time to pay attention to this matter now."

Li Zhongyu obviously reacted quickly, and couldn't help asking: "That caravan seems to be under Vladimir's?"

Li Congjia nodded, and Li Zhongyu immediately understood the expression.

Although Li Zhongyu has always been smooth sailing and no one is fighting for power with him, but he reads history and knows how the princes fought for power and profit in history. The situation now is really easy to understand.

Obviously Yaropolk I didn't want to stand up for his younger brother, or he hoped that all the caravans under Vladimir would be wiped out. Without financial support, why would Vladimir fight with him?

No one expected that this matter would end so hastily, and it felt like a dog's tail.

Li Congjia is even more regretful: "Now the Kievan Rus Principality estimates that the internal power struggle has reached a fever pitch, and there is no time to mix these things. In the end, we are actually arguing with the Kara Khanate."

But Shi Xueting said: "It won't last long, Vladimir's caravan can't come over, can other caravans from Kievan Rus Principality come over?"

Li Congjia was surprised: "You still want to do something?"

Shi Xueting shook his head: "No, I don't need to do anything this time. Think about it, Vladimir's caravan was robbed and killed, and in the end it was nothing more than a letter of condemnation to come over to Callahan. Is there any loss? No, so someone in the Kara Khanate will definitely use their brains in this regard."

Li Congjia knocked on the imperial case with one hand propping his cheek and said: "The problem is that the caravans from the Kievan Rus Principality can't get through, and our caravans dare not go. The loss is huge."

Not only the caravan but also Datang lost. After all, there are a lot of tariffs, and the income is less... Li Congjia felt that the Minister of the Household Department would come to cry with him again.

Shi Xueting touched his head and said: "Why are you so stupid? The Kara Khanate has indeed brought many countries into a federation, but is their federation really reliable? The Kara Khanate has made it clear before that it will not follow Datang continues to trade, but aren't those small countries still trading with Datang?"

Li Congjia rubbed his chin and said, "Or...give them enough benefits, and they can take a detour. Although it is a bit farther, there are many countries along the way, so there will be more business. Well, a good idea."

Shi Xueting said indifferently: "There is no need to give them any benefits, as long as they don't refuse their caravans. These small countries are the most adaptable to the wind, and they know what to do."

In fact, this is true. When Musa knew that some member states in the Federation were disobedient and continued to deal with Datang, he almost lost his temper.

He said very sadly: "I am here to fight for the benefit of everyone, what are you doing?"

The kings of the member countries looked at each other without saying a word. In fact, they did benefit from this confrontation-the Kara Khanate cut off the transaction with Datang, but the needs of Datang are still there. Ah, so Datang turned around and started trading with other countries, and these small countries have more or less received valuable orders from Datang.

These kings are not stupid, but no matter they are smart or stupid, they will be confused by the immediate interests. Wasn't it their own interests that they challenged Datang together with the Kara Khanate?

Now that the benefits have been obtained, who will offend the gold master country? There are many countries in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. If this country does not do it, there will always be other countries willing to do it.

As for the Kara Khanate... what does it have to do with them?

At this time, the Kara Khanate was patronizing its momentum, but the consequences of not choosing more methods to restrain member states finally emerged.

This federation seems to have been torn apart not long after it was established, and no one is of one mind with Musa.

Only at this time did Musa understand why Datang has so strict requirements on member states, because some rights have been taken away, and these member states have less right to speak in their own countries. Datang can force these member states to be the same as Datang advance and retreat.

However, the Kara Khanate could not do this, so Musa was in a dilemma for a while.

Bow down to Datang... Then all the previous efforts have been wasted, not to mention that he had spoken very well before, relying on his own huge power, but Datang had the same attitude from the beginning to the end: no.

Then he quietly disintegrated his federation. He originally wanted to provoke the conflict between the Principality of Kievan Rus and Datang, but failed.

Musa felt that the whole thing had become a mess and didn't know how to deal with it.

He was also a little depressed. This time, he actually wanted to compete with Li Congjia. In the Kara Khanate, he was the highest and most capable believer under Allah. He was also very satisfied with his achievements over the years.

Unfortunately, the one next door is even more powerful. No matter how you look at it, the Kara Khanate is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, and as a monarch, the experience of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is even more legendary.

Even the kings will have a heart of comparison. Musa has always wanted to compare with Li Congjia, but unfortunately...the other party is better than him in everything. Of course, it may not be appropriate to say that, but the most important thing is that the Tang's force value is higher than that of Kara Khanate!

He can't be confronted head-on, and he can't play tricks. Musa feels that it is better for him to bully the Saman Empire or the Ghaznavid Dynasty. Why do he have to fight the Tang Dynasty?

For a while, the Kara Khanate stopped playing, which made Li Congjia a little unaccustomed to it. He still had follow-up measures that were useless. Why did the Kara Khanate shrink?

Although those methods can continue, but the Kara Khanate will always benefit more if he is impulsive. Now that Musa has withdrawn, Li Congjia feels a little boring.

He felt that it was boring, but Ye Luxian felt that the Kara Khanate’s wave of head gifts was really good. Although there are many small countries in the southwest, they are not strong enough. It is impossible to take all the orders from Datang, so many orders are transferred to Khitan. here.

In Li Congjia's words, Tang Qi relied on Musa for friendship. Because of this incident, the relationship between Datang and Khitan eased a lot.

Yeluxian thanked Musa for this, but of course Musa didn't know, otherwise he would probably vomit another three liters of blood.

Li Congjia had no opponents, so he turned his head to look for opponents, and asked Shi Xueting directly: "How is Tubo doing now? What about them...the Eagle Club...successful?"

Shi Xueting sneered: "Successful? How could it be successful? Have you forgotten about the fake deaths of King Lhasa and King Yaze?"

Li Congjia understood in no time. It is estimated that this wave of feigned death tricks not only reached their son, but also successfully tricked other tribes. They were about to form a team, but after this wave... it is almost as good as disbanding the team.

"So Tubo is in chaos again?" Li Congjia was very happy.

Shi Xueting nodded: "It's indeed chaotic, and it's even more chaotic than before. It's so chaotic that you can't see who has enmity with whom and who has no enmity with whom. Anyway, today you beat me, and tomorrow I beat him. It's very chaotic. "

Li Congjia said with a smile: "So the king of Lhasa's desire to unify Tubo is shattered."

Shi Xueting rubbed his chin and said, "Maybe... we can make a mess."

Li Congjia shook his head: "No need, just wait and see what happens."

However, the problem is that they want to wait and see what happens. Obviously, Tubo is not willing. Both King Lhasa and King Yaze want to unify Tubo. But now it seems that if things go on like this, even if there is a king who will rule all the land in Tubo, it probably won't be enough to add food to the Tang army.

So King Lhasa directly released a message: the reason why he and King Yaze suspended animation before was forced, because Datang sent assassins to assassinate them, so they simply resorted to tricks, trying to lure those assassins out and catch them. I never thought that these assassins were too cunning, and because you didn't cooperate, they all ran away.

This statement seems to be well-founded, and what does it mean if King Lhasa and King Yaze are dead?It means that there are no more powerful tribal owners in Tubo, and those who were suppressed by King Lhasa and King Yaze can rise along the trend, and the chaos of Tubo is good for Datang.

After Li Congjia heard the news, he was a little shocked: "Huh? How did they guess what I was thinking?"

Shi Xueting chuckled: "They didn't guess, they wanted to take the opportunity to set up an enemy for all the Tubo tribes, so maybe they could quell the chaos inside Tubo."

Li Congjia shook his head: "I don't like it, the conflict between them cannot be resolved by one enemy."

Shi Xueting said seriously: "It's enough to take care of a few major tribes, and the rest... can be annexed, anyway, if I do it."

Not to mention, King Lhasa really did just that. King Yaze was a bit worse than the others. As for King Yalongjue, during this process... he really died of illness.

For a while, Yalong felt that King Axin was in power, and the foundation was stable, and he faced pressure from King Lhasa and King Yaze.

This one was also clever, and felt that he might not be able to bear it, so he turned around and asked Datang for help. Of course, the new king still had something in mind, so he directly chose to attach it!

Don't say anything about joining the federation, just ask for attachment. Anyway, for a tribe like them, even if it is attached, it may end up having greater rights than those members of the federation.

King Lhasa and King Yaze did not expect him to be so straightforward. When they wanted to raise troops, they found that the army of Datang had entered the territory owned by King Yalongjue'a, that is to say... the army of Datang could enter The Tibetan Plateau.

All of a sudden, King Yaze and King Lhasa were yelling at King Yalongjue as a traitor and a scum of Tubo.

Yalong felt that King Yalong didn't hear anything, anyway, he was safe now with Datang's protection, as for the future... there was nothing to think about, if he didn't take refuge in Datang, he would have no future!

And Datang quickly set up a tight defense in the southeast of Tubo, and even began to rebuild fortifications.

King Yaze and King Lhasa both knew that Datang's offense and defense were very powerful. If they were prepared, the tribes of Tubo might not be enough for Datang to drink a pot of!

Now that the Tang Dynasty has finally revealed its hideous face, everyone knows that this time it may not be good, so King Yaze and King Lhasa simply joined forces with several tribes to attack Datang, or to attack Yalong Jue'a King's territory!

Everyone in the court is gearing up, and this time even the cabinet has no objection. Since King Yalongjue is attached, his territory is naturally the territory of the Tang Dynasty. As for what should not be accepted, no one can accept it. Did not mention.

Is it possible that Datang is still afraid of these Tubo tribes?You must know that these Tubo tribes were very backward before, and now they have finally used thermal weapons, which were provided by Datang, but now Datang does not provide them, and the thermal weapons in their hands have restrictions on their use. In the end, they will definitely It still needs to use cold weapons to fight Datang, and the outcome seems to have been set from the beginning.

Unless Li Congjia, the cabinet and everyone in the Privy Council are mentally handicapped, this battle will be won. The only thing that can restrict them is probably altitude sickness. After all, not all soldiers can adapt to the plateau climate. Li Congjia decided to transfer directly from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau Soldiers, although the climate is not exactly the same, but at least it can reduce non-combat attrition.

The Privy Council has been fighting over who will lead the army. After all, this is a visible achievement, and a fool would not want it!

At this time, everyone thought that the internal struggle was so fierce that the Principality of Kievan Rus, who could not care about external affairs, suddenly jumped out and gave everyone a sap—he directly issued a war letter to the Kara Khanate and Datang!

Li Congjia: Yarrow Polk I did this on purpose, right?

The author has something to say: The name of the Ross people is really long, I dare not write more, I am afraid that you will think that I have too many characters (I will not say that I can only remember half of the name), speed up the progress, and strive to make it as soon as possible. They are going to conquer the stars and sea. Of course, if the friends feel that they can come here, then go straight to the end←_←
