Chapter 128: The Twists and Turns of Harmony (7) (2nd Update)
"His Royal Highness King Shou is joking." Hearing Li Ye's words, Yang Qiqiu seemed to be a little disappointed, "There is no suitable woman in the Nanzhao clan. Moreover, this time the peace was also proposed by your country first, and now it is repented, wouldn't it damage the image of your country? ”
"Can the image be eaten? This king still says that if you want to get married, unless Nanzhao marries a princess, Datang will not marry a princess to Nanzhao. Li Ye sneered.
"As a state of etiquette, Datang didn't expect His Highness to speak like this... So disappointing. Yang Qiqiu shook his head, "Your Highness is inevitably off topic, Yang is here this time to welcome the eldest princess of Anhua to return to China and marry my emperor, not to marry a princess to your country."
However, after the marriage this time, Yang can suggest that a woman of appropriate age be selected from the clan to marry your country and make friends with Qin and Jin forever.
If this peace fails, our country will be very disappointed in your country, and many generals may be unrestrained, and if you attack the border towns of your country, it is not what His Royal Highness King Shou wants to see. ”
"Yang Buxie, is this threatening the king, or threatening the Tang Dynasty? Nanzhao is a small country, there was arrogance in ancient times, if Nanzhao doesn't know how to lift today, don't blame Datang for not paying attention to etiquette. If there is an attack on the border, the king will lead the soldiers of this day to sweep away all the enemies who come to attack.
And to put it mildly, how many more troops can Nanzhao form now? Fifty thousand? Lakh? Could it be that the young adults who were lost before have now been replenished? ”
Hearing the other party's threat, Li Ye couldn't help the anger in his heart, a Nanzhao with a population of less than one million dared to threaten a big country with a population of tens of millions, and he didn't know who gave them the courage. Or that the previous lesson is not profound, so Nanzhao still has some bold ideas.
Yang Qiqiu may not want to intensify the conflict, but said with a wry smile, "Yang doesn't want to see the two countries continue to be at war, which is bound to be ruined, and it is not a good thing for the two countries."
Now that your rebels have captured Chang'an, and the imperial court is in a corner, if the two countries are friendly, it will also be a good thing for the two countries, isn't it? ”
Looking at this, Yang Qiqiu didn't seem to want to exacerbate the conflict, but there was still a threat in his words. Seeing that Datang was in civil strife at this time, Nanzhao wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, but if the other party really had the ability to take advantage of the fire to rob, he would not have done it yet.
You must know that the Huangchao Rebellion is nearing the end until now, at least the recovery of Chang'an is in sight. Under the command of Wang Duo, the army of Qinwang from all walks of life was on the way to Chang'an, including more than 17,000 Shatuo troops led by Li Keyong, plus Zhu Wen, who had already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, as well as Zhuge Shuang, Yang Fuguang, Wang Chongrong, Wang Chuhou and other Tang army generals, and there were more than 100,000 troops under their command.
If Chang'an can be recovered, Li Ye will be able to persuade Li Yi to give up peace. Li Yi undoubtedly wants to return to Chang'an more than harmony, and if Chang'an is recovered, the ministers in favor of peace will be greatly reduced, which is why Li Ye dragged it out, just to wait for the results to come from Chang'an.
Due to the inconvenience of transportation, I don't know what the situation is in Guanzhong now, and whether the army of each town has arrived.
"Yang Buxie shouldn't know, the counterinsurgency army of the Tang Dynasty is already in place, and the recovery of Chang'an is just around the corner. If some people see the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty and want to take advantage of the fire to rob, then the king can only say that those people miscalculated.
Datang will not be afraid of any threat, if someone does not have a long eye, Datang's iron cavalry will set foot on the land of disobedience. ”
Li Ye's words are half-true, but in Yang Qiqiu's opinion, it is different. Looking at Li Ye's serious appearance, it doesn't look like he's lying, is this true? If the Tang Dynasty put down the rebellion, he would definitely not take Nanzhao in his eyes, and the matter of peace and relatives would definitely be yellow, but he has been in Chengdu for almost a month, and he has not heard relevant news, so he is not sure how credible Li Ye's words are.
Seeing the other party's expression, Li Ye knew that his last words had frightened the other party, and he was a little proud in his heart. Although this Yang Qiqi is cunning and cunning, he is still bluffed by himself, but if Nanzhao has such a person, it is not a good thing for Datang.
The current Nanzhao Emperor Long Shun is mediocre, which is a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, and the current Datang has no time to consider foreign enemies, and a weak Nanzhao is undoubtedly good news, at least the southwest border is worry-free.
I don't know if Li Ye's words have an effect, but Yang Qiqiu and Li Ye's conversation has been absent-minded. Li Ye naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity to demonstrate, so that he could visit the training of the Tiance Army, so that the other side could realize the gap between the two countries.
In the end, Yang Qiqiu found an excuse to leave. Li Yingxu leaned over and said, "Your Highness, this Yang Qiqiu has some skills and good vision, if several prime ministers of Nanzhao are like this, it is not good news for Datang." If it is possible, the lower officials suggest getting rid of this Yang Qiqiu, and only a weak Nanzhao can be in the interests of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Li joined the army is too trivial, although this Yang Qiqiu has extraordinary knowledge, but he has not been suppressed by His Royal Highness, it can be seen that His Highness is here, and everyone else is not in the stream." Pei Rong was a little dissatisfied with this Li Yingxu stealing the limelight, and couldn't help but scold.
"What Pei Sima said is not right or not, but this Yang Qiqiu is indeed not an ordinary person, he can become the prime minister of Nanzhao, it can be seen that he still has some skills. But now is not the time to deal with Nanzhao, a dishonest neighbor will be a scourge sooner or later, let them survive for a while. Li Ye said.
"What did Your Highness just say about recovering Chang'an?" Pei Rong asked curiously.
"That's the king's guess." After the two heard it, they were speechless, if it weren't for Li Ye being the prince, they would all want to give a blank look, "But this king is not just guessing, the recovery of Chang'an is indeed just around the corner." ”
Li Ye briefly analyzed the situation in Chang'an, Pei Rong and Li Yingxu also thought about it after hearing it, if it is compared with the previous two years, the hope of recovering Chang'an this time is indeed very great, but it is not ruled out that there will be infighting again, and there will be accidents.
。。。。。。
Yang Qiqiu really believed what Li Ye said, so as soon as he left the Tiance military camp, he hurriedly got into the carriage.
Even if what Li Ye said was not true, Yang Qiqiu didn't dare to gamble, once the bet was lost, then there was really no hope for Heqin. Although he had said a lot of threatening words in front of Li Ye before, the young prince of Tang also saw Nanzhao's current predicament, and the previous war of more than ten years had greatly damaged Nanzhao's vitality. Otherwise, with the ambition of Nanzhao, how could he not take any action against the Tang Dynasty, which was mired in civil strife?
"My lord, where are we going now?" Seeing that Yang Qiqiu was in such a hurry, the entourage next to him couldn't help but ask.
After Yang Qiqiu sat down, he lowered the curtain and said loudly, "Go to Chen Jingxuan's mansion." ”
At this time, only Chen Jingxuan can help himself, the other party received the money and women he gave before, and now he can't say nothing at all!
As he spoke, the attendant drove the carriage and whipped away, and the attendant on horseback quickly followed.
