Fu Tang

The cause of Musa's death was very strange. He fell from his horse and broke his neck. He didn't die at the time, but was paralyzed. In the process of treatment, they didn't know where they found the news. Acupuncture and moxibustion can be cured, but I don't know where to find a believer who can do acupuncture.

As a result, the believer probably didn't learn well in acupuncture, and directly injected acupuncture from the head, causing Musa to have a splitting headache, vomit, and in the end he was foaming, and then died.

Li Congjia couldn't help but turned to Shi Xueting when he learned how he died, "That believer, isn't it an undercover agent you sent?"

Shi Xueting couldn't help laughing: "The spies who were placed there before were basically withdrawn, and only a small number were caught. How could they be the ones I arranged?"

Li Congjia felt at ease now, Musa's death was really an accident.

But apart from him, no one thought it was an accident. Even Shi Xueting felt that Li Congjia hadn't used his strengths for so many years. He thought it didn't exist, but he accidentally released a big move.

Li Congjia probably didn't expect that he would kill Musa again in one sentence. Looking at the strange eyes of Manchu Wenwu, he wanted to argue, but it was probably useless to argue. From before to now, there have been several times. example.

It is estimated that Li Congjia's efficacious saying that whoever dies must die has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What's the use of his defense!

The main thing now is to reassess the situation.

The death of Musa was a blow to the Kara Khanate. The Kara Khanate changed from a Turkic state to an Islamic country. The name of Prophet Musa, one of the six ambassadors in China, has been subtle for a long time, and he has almost become the spokesperson of Allah in the hearts of the people in the world.

It’s okay if it’s in peacetime, but the problem is that the Kara Khanate is now at war with the Tang Dynasty. At this critical juncture, it’s a miracle that the Kara Khanate hasn’t become a mess.

Li Congjia originally estimated that this time Zhao Kuangyin might be able to directly launch a lightning war to destroy the country, after all, he would kill him while he was sick.

However, Zhao Kuangyin quickly wrote a letter back, yes, it was a letter, not a memorandum, which meant that this letter would not pass through the cabinet, after all, no matter how powerful the courtiers were, they could not even check the emperor's private letters.

When Li Congjia received Zhao Kuangyin's letter, he always felt a little strange. He didn't know what it was worth Zhao Kuangyin to use the power of the intelligence department to write him a letter.

Yes, Tao Yun originally followed him as the prince's assistant, and it was another kind of eyeliner that Li Congjia placed beside him, but this eyeliner was more open and aboveboard.

Unexpectedly, now Tao Yun has almost become a messenger. Li Zhongyu wants to write a letter to his father. He dislikes the slow public system and goes to the intelligence department. Zhao Kuangyin has something to tell Li Congjia. He doesn’t want others to know. Yun originally thought that he came here just for soy sauce, but he didn't expect that he was busier than when he was in Chang'an.

Tao Yun also lost his temper, so he could only act as a messenger honestly.

After Li Congjia opened the letter, he clapped his hands and said, "No, we can't wait any longer."

Shi Xueting, who was reading a book, was taken aback by him, couldn't help but look up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Zhao Kuangyin said that Musa's son, Ali Musa, was interested in surrendering for peace talks, and there was news that he was willing to join the Datang Federation." Give it to Zhao Kuangyin."

Shi Xueting didn't open it to read it, in fact, he could think of Li Congjia's meaning without looking at it: "You want Duke Qin to go to war directly?"

Li Congjia nodded and said, "That's right, let him fight, and I'll take care of what happens."

Li Congjia's so-called incident basically means that the ministers knew the news that the Kara Khanate wanted peace talks, and they planned to have peace talks, but Zhao Kuangyin called directly in silence, eliminating the possibility of peace talks between the two countries.

This is not a small matter, maybe someone will catch it and take the opportunity to attack the Privy Council by attacking Zhao Kuangyin, and Li Congjia is ready to carry it to the end.

Shi Xueting pondered for a while and asked, "Aren't you going to ask the cabinet?"

Li Congjia shook his head resolutely: "I can't ask, they were in between whether to fight or not, if it wasn't for Princess Karakhan's murder of the emperor's heir, which made the two countries have a deadly enmity, otherwise they would definitely not fight." Will be willing to fight the Kara Khanate."

After hearing this, Shi Xueting nodded and said nothing, turned around and sent Li Congjia's letter to Zhao Kuangyin quickly.

At this point, Shi Xueting once again confirmed that Li Congjia was planning to destroy Kara Khan, and he would not give Kara Khan any respite. The only thing that made him a little uncertain was how Li Congjia planned to treat Kara Khan's civilians.

He didn't know, so he asked, but he didn't expect that Li Congjia was also worried. He knew that civilians could not be killed casually. Historically, even if it was a war to destroy the country, it was the country's name that was destroyed, rather than turning the whole country into a dead zone.

But as long as there is one person alive in the Kara Khanate, Islam will exist, and Li Congjia's goal will not be achieved.

He sat there worrying, Shi Xueting watched him frown, and began to gnaw his nails subconsciously, knowing that Islam was Li Congjia's confidant, although he didn't understand why Li Congjia was so wary of this country.

It's just that he couldn't see Li Congjia's worry, so he stepped forward and rescued the opponent's thumb, and said, "You can't tolerate the Kara Khanate, but can you tolerate the Saman Empire and Ghazni?"

Li Congjia sighed: "If I can, I don't want to stay with any of them. However, if the harm between the two powers is the lesser, the secular faction is more moderate."

Shi Xueting said: "Since the two sects can't tolerate each other, let them fight."

Li Congjia looked up at Shi Xueting wondering, "Didn't we do this before?"

It's just not very successful, Ghazna and Shaman Empire... Hey, these two are not up to date, why can't they beat Kara Khan?

Shi Xueting said: "But Musa is already dead."

Li Congjia rubbed his chin, feeling that he really meant it. Although Musa has been suffering in Li Congjia's hands, he can manage the Kara Khanate so well that he can be regarded as a hero without being a hero.

And his son Ali Musa's reputation is not obvious. The Kara Khanate has been fighting for so many years, and even the prince's murderous name has not been heard. It is estimated that he has no great ability. It's still different, after all, the Turkic people are different from the Han people. Li Zhongyu can be a successful king even if he doesn't know how to fight. The Kara Khanate...can't fight, I'm afraid that other princes will overthrow his position immediately.

It's just that Ali Musa was lucky, before he was defeated by other princes, Musa died, and he ascended the throne in a hurry and proclaimed himself emperor, but when he thought of his confrontation with Li Congjia, it probably wasn't luck.

Li Congjia is thinking about whether to choose the Ghaznavids or the Saman Empire. Fortunately, the Ghaznavids are an emerging country, and there should be no disadvantages of the Saman Empire before, but it does not mean that their regime and political ideas are perfect.

As far as the Saman Empire is concerned, they don’t know what’s going on now, and they’ve been lingering in a corner all the time. No matter how the situation outside changes, they just stay honest and refuse to come out recently, and they don’t know what’s going on.

While Li Congjia was thinking, the Ghazni king, Nausiruddin Sobktaqin, was about to go mad with fright.

Musa died, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty said that he was dead. No matter how you look at this kind of thing, it is unreliable. Anyone would think so. How could someone die if they were told that you deserve to die?

However, this thing really happened, and it happened more than once. Since Datang has been chosen as the enemy, he must understand the other party.

Before Ghazni knew that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was hailed as the Son of Heaven, saying that he was chosen by the heavens. At that time, he didn't care too much, thinking it was just a means of propaganda by the other party. Later, he learned that there were several powerful people whom he said were dead. , and just hold a skeptical attitude.

After all, he had never experienced anything before, such things as putting gold on the emperor's face can be found everywhere, but now he couldn't tolerate disbelief--the bright example was right in front of him!

Nausiruddin Sobktaqin has always been in a state of anxiety, for which he doesn't even want to continue to support the King of Lhasa.

What if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty got angry and said to him, you die too, and he died?

As an emperor, you should not be superstitious, but you have to be superstitious. This kind of thing cannot be left to chance.

Nausiruddin Sobktaqin began to think about whether to surrender or not. After all, that little money is nothing compared to a small life. No amount of money can buy life!

At this time, he received a letter from Emperor Tang, yes, a letter, not a letter of credence.

After all, Li Congjia did many things behind the cabinet's back. Of course, he couldn't write the letter of credence directly. Wouldn't people know his idea of ​​trying to kill Kara Khan directly?

When Naosirudin Sobktaqin received the letter, he trembled and did not dare to open it, for fear of reading a damn sentence when he opened it.

It’s just that he thought about it. The last time the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued a letter of credence to King Karahan, which was announced to the world, and then Musa died. Bar?

Nausiruddin Sobktachen hesitantly opened the letter. He was surprised to find that the letter was actually written in Turkic, and the content of the letter was very simple. It just asked him to fight Kara Khan and destroy the country. , Really destroy the country, as long as Karakhan is destroyed, Datang will not embarrass Ghazni.

This non-embarrassment has various aspects, and Li Congjia also hinted that not only is he not embarrassing, but he will also give Ghazni various conveniences.

Nausiruddin Sobktaqin's heart suddenly became hot, and he also thought about fighting the Kara Khanate. If there hadn't been a conflict with Datang, he would definitely want to take advantage of Musa's death.

As for the actual war of annihilation, he doesn't really care about it. The Turkic people have always fought fiercely, and it is not uncommon for them to destroy their tribes at every turn. When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued such an order, he would be sprayed with blood. head, and will be named as a tyrant, but this is not a big deal in Ghaznavid, plus there is a layer of religious wars in the middle.

He can not only ease the relationship with Datang, but also achieve his own goals. Why not do such a good thing?

Naosirudin Sobk Taqin was very enthusiastic, and immediately planned to give Li Congjia a letter of credence, but he realized it just after writing two lines. Since the Emperor of Tang Dynasty wrote to him privately, it meant that Li Congjia did not want others to I know, if he writes the letter of credence...wouldn't that be an announcement to the world?

No, no, this will definitely screw things up. At that time...the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not have other choices, such as their deadly enemy, the Saman Empire, isn't it?

Nausiruddin Sobktaqin thought about it for a long time and didn't know how to write it. Finally, he had to find someone to write a letter in Chinese to Li Congjia: What do you always want me to do?

This letter has put him in a very low position, but there is no way, who made him coax?

After the letter was sent out, Nausiruddin Sobktaqin sent someone to pass orders to General Sarah, asking him to stop first, shrink his troops, and prepare to withdraw at any time.

Sarah didn't understand why his king suddenly issued such an order, but he was not stupid. He felt that the king had already negotiated peace with the Tang emperor, and he didn't care about how the peace was negotiated.

As for being called back in the middle of the fight, he didn't care. This time he came to help Tubo and not fight for his own family.

It's just that Nausiruddin is also smart, and he didn't withdraw his troops hastily before he was sure that he could join forces with Datang.

After the letter from Nausiruddin Sobktaqin reached Li Congjia, Li Congjia smiled and said, "It's done."

It was Shi Xueting's suggestion to choose Ghazni in the first place. After all, Ghazni did have friction with Datang, but you can ignore that friction at all. After all, Li Zhongyu didn't really suffer any harm, and the two sides suddenly fought. A battle is not each other's original intention.

The most important thing is that if Li Congjia stopped now and gave Ghaznagi a chance, Nausiruddin Sobktaqin might be grateful to him and Yang Ye for having fought against Sarah and the others, and had a preliminary understanding of the Ghaznagi soldiers. It is not very strong, but not weak either. It should be no problem to fight Kara Khan, who is now lingering.

Li Congjia received a reply letter from Nausiruddin Sobktaqin, and turned around to ask Zhao Kuangyin to wait.

Zhao Kuangyin received the letter on his front foot, and then geared up and prepared to do a good job, and then went back to accept the crime. Well, he knew in his heart that after this battle, he would probably be punished, or the merits and demerits would be offset, but then so what?

He was already an extremely powerful minister, and any rewards to him would be nothing more than some gold, silver and jewels, but this time he played well, and it could be regarded as a perfect end to his military career.

As a result, he just got ready here, and he also arranged a task for Li Zhongyu - it is best not to let Li Zhongyu appear around the main force in the next war, or Zhao Kuangyin will directly destroy them, but he has never persuaded him as a prince. Maybe at that time Even the prince was scolded together, this kind of thing can't be done.

Li Zhongyu also knew in his heart that he ran away early, but now he is told not to fight?

Zhao Kuangyin was very suffocated, and wanted to know what happened.

Li Congjia also guessed that Zhao Kuangyin must be dissatisfied, so he directly wrote a letter and explained everything, and Zhao Kuangyin turned pale after reading it.

Before, he just wanted to destroy the royal family of the Kara Khanate, and if he went too far, it would be the same as when he attacked Japan, and wiped out all the aristocratic families, leaving only the common people.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Congjia was so insane that even ordinary people were unwilling to stay.

If this shit really did it, he would be Bai Qi's second. Zhao Kuangyin knew very well what happened to Bai Qi, so this battle is really...whether it's not a fight.

It's just that this question has been answered, and no one can answer him for the remaining question: How did the Kara Khanate provoke their Majesty, so that their good-tempered Majesty insisted on fighting this country forever?Ordinary people don't let it go, to what extent is this hatred?

Of course, if he went to ask Li Congjia, Li Congjia would probably not admit it, why did he hate him?He is just worried about the future.

In fact, even Li Congjia himself didn't know that he did have a hostility towards this religion in his heart. If it wasn't for such a hostility to support it, how could it be possible to fight against the Kara Khanate for so many years? A good choice. After all, the Turks are good at fighting, and they can be sent to the west to continue to expand at that time.

But Li Congjia chose the most difficult path, and he has worked hard for this path, and now he is only waiting for a result.

Zhao Kuangyin gathered his team and did not take the initiative to attack the Kara Khanate for many days, which gave Ali Musa the illusion that he could negotiate peace.

In fact, Ali Musa chose peace talks, except for those brothers who thought he was not pleasing to the eye and wanted to drag him down from the king's position, no one from the other ministers objected.

After all, the current situation is too chaotic, and seeing that the Kara Khanate will never win if it continues to fight, let's talk about peace if it can.

They also know about the princess now, but no one cares about it. Instead, many people are blaming Asuma. If she hadn’t angered the Tang emperor because of her unclear mind, how could the Kara Khanate be beaten like this? ?

As for Ali Musa, he actually thought so in his heart.

When Musa was in power, Asuma was his biological daughter, or the daughter who was planning to marry Vladimir. Whether it hurts or not, this daughter's political significance was already extraordinary, and she died in Datang.

This must be revenge. However, when it was changed to Ali Musa, it was very simple. She was his half-sister. Kimir's marriage... He doesn't care even more, Vladimir has been beaten away by Datang, so what's the use of joining him?

Both sides can't beat Datang together, what kind of marriage?What's more, there were more than one princess left by his father. If Ali Musa was to choose, he would choose to send another princess to the Tang prince, which would be more useful than marrying Vladimir.

After Ali Musa sent someone to verify that Datang did not continue to attack, he sent a letter to Zhao Kuangyin expressing his willingness to negotiate peace with Datang, hoping that Datang would stop fighting.

Zhao Kuangyin did not agree, but only replied that he would report to the court.

Ali Musa immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Zhao Kuangyin could not be the master. As long as he was willing to report to the court, it meant that the Tang Dynasty did not give him a death order, so he would have room for maneuver.

Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin did not raise troops to attack during this period. Not only did he not attack, but he also sent him out and Li Zhongyu called him back.

This time and again, Li Zhongyu lost his temper. He was the only person in the entire camp who knew the truth. He didn't understand his father's thoughts, but he supported them.

The only regret is that I can't participate in the war of destroying the country. If I can really hit the capital of the Kara Khanate, Balashagon, it would be such a happy thing.

However, Li Zhongyu was relatively calm. There is no perfect thing in this world. Of course, the most important thing is that Ali Musa wrote a letter to Li Zhongyu very colorfully, and accompanied the letter with a young princess.

He was really young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and looked thin and small. Seeing her made Li Zhongyu think of the princess who was far away in Chang'an, and somehow he missed the princess a little bit.

Li Zhongyu didn't dare to accept the princess, but since the princess had been sent here, Ali Musa didn't intend to let her go back, Li Zhongyu had the final say on how to deal with it.

Li Zhongyu had no choice but to go to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin knew about Asuma, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Princess Karakhan is missing, and the other party will pay His Highness another one. Does she look good?"

Li Zhongyu replied: "Who can see clearly when the black gauze is applied to the face?"

But it shouldn’t be bad for Ali Musa to send it over. Of course, Li Zhongyu didn’t dare to say the latter sentence. After all, Zhao Kuangyin was his father-in-law, and he was discussing with his father-in-law whether he wanted to take a concubine...however he thought it was awkward.

Zhao Kuangyin was silent for a while and said: "This princess... can't stay, even if His Highness accepts her, she will have to deal with it when she leaves in the future."

Li Zhongyu's heart trembled, he nodded heavily and said, "I know what to do."

What else can I do?Naturally, he insisted not to accept it. Of course, he could choose to accept it first, arrange the princess in a place, be a dewy couple for a while, and settle it when he leaves.

But in that case... Li Zhongyu felt that he was too insignificant. Even if he was lustful, there was no bottom line for liking beauties. This kind of thing could not be done.

While Li Zhongyu was talking to the other party's envoy, the princess who had been serving as the background board suddenly moved. She directly pulled out a sword from the guard of the Tang Dynasty guarding them, and then ran towards Li Zhongyu.
