sheepskin for melon

Those who were escorted by brother Tan all the way here were Princess Anyuan who was sent by Dayong to make peace with Zhiqiu, and her child, Chen Ruyi, the eighth prince of Zhiqiu who was only 14 years old.

Princess Heqin is never allowed to return to court without the emperor's decree, but this time there is no other way.

A rebellion broke out in the territory of Zhiqiu, and Chen Jingsi, the younger brother of King Zhiqiu, usurped power and seized the throne, proclaimed himself king, and exterminated all the heirs of the old king of Zhiqiu.

In desperation, the guards brought by Princess Anyuan from Dayong escorted the orphans and widows to Yongjing.

The king of Xinzhiqiu was furious, and he sent troops to the frontier to ask for someone from the territory of Dayong.

Seeing the outbreak of war, the magistrate of Suizhou felt a headache when he saw this complicated situation.

Naturally, no one wants to fight, but Princess Anyuan has a special status after all, so if she just handed it over, who knows what it means, it might make her whole body smelly.

When the entire Suizhou high-level officials looked at each other, the stupefied Uncle Zhuang Zi stood up and yelled at everyone.

There is no reason to hesitate, Chen Jingsi just rebelled in his own country, his ass is not hot, how can he have the energy to fight against the Yongxiong soldiers!

The battle looks scary, but it's just a bluff, and the princess represents Dayong's face. When he was frightened by the rebels, he handed it over quickly. What face will Dayong have in the future?

Moreover, after the heirs of King Laozhiqiu were slaughtered by the rebellious minister Chen Jingsi, the eighth prince was the last orthodox blood of King Laozhiqiu. What does this mean, can't you imagine?

The others looked at Uncle Zhuangzi and were silent for a while: Who is this? At this moment, everyone is shrewd and not showing their heads, afraid of being blamed, but this idiot can speak so well?

Knowing that he was just a little magistrate Danti sent by the imperial court, he immediately said——

Make sense!Make sense!The man who took the blame has chosen you!

At that time, no matter what the court wants, they can put the blame on Uncle Zhuangzi!

So Uncle Zhuangzi, the little magistrate of Danti County, suddenly gained power, and the entire Suizhou high-level officials obeyed his command, and set up an army on the border of the hill of resistance.

Sure enough, Zhiqiu saw that the long-term battle was disadvantageous, so he silently returned to his country, and sent an envoy to write a letter to ask whether Yongguo really wanted to start a war with Zhiqiu because of the orphan and widow.

Uncle Zhuangzi ordered brother Tan Jiuge to escort the mother and son back to Beijing, and urged him to send them to Tan Yushu. Tan Yushu immediately understood what Uncle Zhuangzi meant.

Princess Anyuan took the Eighth Prince and wept bitterly in the court hall to beg for the return of the heaven/dynasty. The civil and military officials of the whole court were shocked by this incident.

Opinions were immediately divided into two groups. Some thought that Chen Jingsi should be agreed to, otherwise it would be a waste of people and money. Since Princess Anyuan was married, she was from Zhiqiu, so there was no reason to return to court.

Some ministers firmly opposed it. How dare a subordinate country dare to speak rudely and blame the superior state!Sending away a princess is a small matter, but losing the state is a big matter!

The two parties argued endlessly, so Emperor Jiaming looked at Tan Yushu and asked him what he meant.

Tan Yushu said slowly: "The traitor Chen Jingsi murdered the king, usurped the throne, slaughtered the clan, the law of heaven is intolerable! My servant thinks that I should punish this traitor!"

Ever since Emperor Jiaming received the news, the thing that hurt him the most was probably the news of Chen Jingsi's regicide and ascension to the throne. He is now in a special period, and his sense of substitution is too strong.

Under the fear in his heart, he desperately needed something to support his heart. Tan Yushu's loud and loud words suddenly made him feel certain, so that he, who had never been wary, was actually a little moved.

However, someone immediately retorted: "Zhiqiu, Beirong and Dayong form a tripartite confrontation to ensure the stability of the border, the prosperity of the country and the people's safety. If we rashly break the pattern, there will never be peace."

The money spent on wars is always more than the old coins, so everyone in the Yong Kingdom does not like wars. When Emperor Jiaming heard this, he immediately hesitated.

It's just that these words sound reasonable, but Tan Yushu sounds extremely absurd.

There is no such thing as a three-legged confrontation, there is only one behemoth and two blood-sucking leeches.

In terms of absolute strength, Dayong is far superior to Beirong and Zhiqiu, so Zhiqiu and Beirong have always been united to blackmail and plunder Dayong.

The relationship between them and Zhiqiu has never been a relationship between lips and teeth, but a relationship that would be better without the other. What's the point of maintaining this "three-legged confrontation"?

Among the powerful dynasties in the past dynasties, which one did not connect the Western Regions and level the northern border, like Dayong, which was pinched by two lifelines and still settled in one corner. It is called a tripartite confrontation. It is simply unprecedented.

There is no point in arguing with the officials, the most important thing is to persuade Emperor Jiaming, so Tan Yushu smiled slightly: "All the officials are absurd, the late King Qiu has only one son left, and I will send troops to restore the eighth prince. Returning to orthodoxy, the name is justified, Zhiqiu's subjects should be grateful, how can there be such a thing as breaking the pattern?"

Emperor Jiaming's eyes suddenly brightened. Although the eighth prince, Chen Ruyi, had the blood of Zhiqiu's royal family, he also had half of the blood of Dayong's royal family.

Seeing Emperor Jiaming's heartbeat, Tan Yushu continued to be full of temptation and said, "Dayong had long wanted to do business with the Western Regions, but the 'golden road' leading to the Western Regions is in Zhiqiu territory, where bandits often occur and it is difficult to pass. If we help the Eighth Prince ascend the throne, Our Heaven/Courtary can send troops to suppress the bandits on behalf of Zhiqiu, and in this way, the commercial road to the west will be unimpeded!"

Hearing this, Emperor Jiaming and some ministers immediately grasped the main point: trade, money!

Tan Yushu knelt down again, looking at the ardent words of the superior: "Your Majesty! I am willing to lead the army to help the eighth prince to punish the rebellion, and to make a great contribution to His Majesty, as the little prince's birth gift!"

Emperor Jiaming took a deep breath.

If in the end, as Tan Yushu described, he can calm down the hills and open the westward trade route, then it will indeed be a great achievement for thousands of years. He will become a sage and hero comparable to the founder of the country, and his name will go down in history. The temptation of such an unrivaled achievement, Which emperor can resist!

And now, everyone in the court is staring at his upcoming child, even though he is the emperor, he is still a little terrified.

If he took Zhiqiu into his own hands, then his dominance would reach an unparalleled peak. Who would dare to challenge him, and his child's position would be as secure as an iron bucket!

In addition to these two very tempting points, there is one last point, Emperor Jiaming looked down at Tan Yushu with sincere eyes.

After making such a great contribution, if he wanted to promote Tan Yushu, others would have no way to raise any opinions.

Song Ming is useless now, he needs a new right-hand man.

So without thinking too much, Emperor Jiaming immediately approved Tan Yushu's performance.

Some courtiers were a little anxious. Among them, Yushi Zhongcheng Liu Suibi enthusiastically opened the microphone, pointing to Tan Yushu and asked: "If there is a war with Zhiqiu, what should we do?"

Tan Yushu looked at him with a meaningful smile.

Liu Suibi was pissed off by this smile, what is this bad boy up to?

I saw Tan Yushu and said: "Master Liu is very worried. In order to prevent the Beirong from changing, let's join the Beirong to send troops. Liu Daren has negotiated peace with Beirong many times. If not, use Liu as an envoy to persuade Beirong to send troops. .”

Liu Suibi:?

……

In the royal court of Beirong, Tulu Khan sat in the king's tent with a big horse and a golden knife, counting the rich gifts brought by the envoys from the Central Plains. One of the ruby ​​necklaces caught his attention.

There are three layers of rubies and pearls in series, each of which is the size of a pigeon egg!The three largest rubies at the end are each the size of an egg!

The color is like blood, exquisite and translucent, inlaid with gold and silver, round and jade-like beads, this necklace alone looks priceless.

Looking up at the envoy, he laughed loudly: "I never thought the emperor of the Central Plains would be so generous."

Although he completely disapproved of Tan Yushu's political views, since he was sent here, Liu Suibi, who could only be loyal to the emperor, cupped his hands at Tu Lu Khan neither humble nor overbearing: "The traitor Chen Jingsi betrayed his trust, murdered the king and usurped the throne, such injustice This move, the whole world should punish it together! Therefore, my God/Pilgrim Lord, I have specially prepared a small gift, and invite my friends and neighbors to punish the traitor!"

Tu Lu Khan played with the string of priceless gemstone beads, noncommittal, at this moment, the king's tent was suddenly lifted.

It was very cold in the north, and a burst of cold air came through the opened gap, and everyone couldn't help but look at the person who came in at this time.

It was a tall Rong man in wolf fur, with a bow and arrow on his back, and a scimitar hanging from his waist. His long flaxen hair was combed into countless braids and hung down. He had a wild beauty and a pair of brown eyes, which turned out to be strange pupils. !

Seeing him, all the Rong people, except Tulu Khan, stood up and saluted respectfully. This is Tulu Khan's second prince, the famous "Sun God" Bharashuzan.

As soon as he entered the tent, those dark brown eyes fell on Liu Suibi without blinking.

Boluo Xiuzan asked with a smile in fluent Central Plains dialect: "The emperor of Yongguo invited us to raise an army together, so who are you leading the army?"

Liu Suibi quickly replied: "To show our sincerity, we sent out General Tianwei, who is capable of conquests and battles, and might shake the world."

Boluoxiu praised the taste: "Oh? Who is General Tianwei? This prince seems to have never heard of it."

Liu Suibi looked at his casual attitude and squinted his eyes: "It's General Tan who defeated your warriors in Baishui City. I thought it was the prestige of General Zalmuduoji. Everyone in Beirong knows General Tan's name." .”

As soon as these words came out, the entire king's tent suddenly became tense, but Liu Suibi said unhurriedly: "General Tan is waiting for you at the hill. I don't know you, but I would like to have a meeting with you."

Hearing these words, Boluo Xiuzan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Since the envoy mentioned the name of the former teacher, this prince has no choice but to go to the appointment."

Turning upwards, he said: "Father Khan, please allow your son to send troops!"

As soon as the voice fell, the entire king's account instantly echoed, please join the battle!

This battle seems to be a battle between the two countries, but in fact, the final battle is between the Yong Kingdom and Beirong.

Yu Gong, the "Golden Road" of Zhiqiu, is also coveted by Bei Rong.

In private, Zalmuduoji is the teacher of Boluo Xiuzan, and according to the custom of Beirong, he should avenge this revenge.

Back then on the border of Qingzhou, Boluo Xiuzan and Tan Yushu confronted each other for three years. The "grassland sun god" who had always been brave and good at fighting and never met an opponent, finally returned home without a feather and became a laughing stock.

Now in this battle of carve-up of the hills, he must avenge his shame and give that Central Plains young general some color!

Tu Lu Khan looked at his mighty son and the crowd who gathered to respond after he raised his arms, but did not speak.

After a while, he looked at Liu Suibi, and drew out his waist knife: "In this case, I will make a blood alliance with the envoy, and fight for the hill together!"

……

Liu Suibi lived up to his mission and returned with the covenant with Beirong, and the plan to conquer the hill was finalized.

Autumn came and winter turned, and when the weather warmed up, Emperor Jiaming immediately appointed Tan Yushu as the commander of the Suizhou capital, commanding the military affairs of Suizhou, and leading [-] forbidden troops to march out.

Tan Yushu wanted to pacify Zhiqiu not only for the "golden road", but also for Zhiqiu and the vast horse breeding land in the Western Regions.

In fact, at the very beginning, Dayong established his country by force, and he also had an elite cavalry regiment, which was invincible and mighty all over the world.

However, because a certain emperor in later generations failed to fight against Beirong, he was almost captured alive during his personal conquest.

There is no land for raising horses, coupled with the unrestrained development of the civil official group, they tried all kinds of ways to make money in various gaps, and finally even the horse administration was abandoned, and the Yong Dynasty had no decent war horses.

Facing the Beirong iron cavalry, using footsteps to control the cavalry, the defense can achieve more victories than defeats, but if the Beirong soldiers want to escape, Dayong has no choice but to shrink in the city and watch.

And if he could subdue Zhiqiu, he would not only have a horse farm, but also a piece of land that was completely his own.

Here, if the hands of the officials in the court cannot be reached, he can rebuild the horse administration according to his own wishes, and I believe that he will soon be able to train a group of elite cavalry.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, being passively beaten is never a head, give him a chance... Ha ha.

Chen Jingsi, who hadn't done anything in Zhiqiu's country, would have no power to resist when faced with the simultaneous dispatch of troops from two realms.

So the most important thing is not Zhiqiu, but the territorial battle between Dayong and Beirong.

Bharashuzan, his old friend, is going to meet again in a different place.

But now there is a more important question...

Tan Yushu looked at Chi Li who had come to see him off, and smiled awkwardly but politely.

This time they are really going to "separate from birth", and it's not like Chili's separation every month. His expedition to the hill will definitely not be able to return for a long time.

Pond: ...

Then you are pretty good.
