Chapter 810 Horse Pawn
The king of Shu was like a mirror, from his renunciation of the throne under Chang'an City, to rescue his favorite concubine, and to fall into the notoriety of loving beauty but not loving the country.
The generals under his account did not say anything openly, but secretly dissatisfied with his actions from the bottom of their hearts.
When he led the troops to Fengzhou, he initially hoped to unite with the Yiran Ministry, and with the help of the Yiran Ministry, he contained Yang Yue and Agus, and gradually strengthened his own strength.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yue drew his salary from the bottom of the kettle and sent King Wu to gradually encroach on the land of Shu, and in the Turkic region, spring ploughing suddenly encountered a disaster, which caused a food crisis in the Yiran Department, and the tribal people complained.
His own strength is weakening day by day, and the Iranbu is too busy to take care of himself.
In the past few days, the Iranbu has sent envoys several times, hoping that he will provide food to the Iranbu, and that he will be willing to buy it at a high price to survive the crisis.
However, there is not much food in his military camp, and the first line of Fengzhou City is mostly barren land, and the annual grain production is very small.
If he is in Shudi, he will not care about grain, and in Fengzhou City, he must take the lead in ensuring that there is abundant grain in his granaries.
When he was entangled and depressed, the palace steward walked quickly, bowed down and reported: "Lord Wang, the Turkic envoy outside asks to see you!"
Hearing this, the King of Shu stopped and asked, "Who is it?"
Yang Yue ascended the throne, he fell to Fengzhou, the courtiers in the court successively loyal to Yang Yue, even the king of Chu, who had been good friends with him in the past, was demoted to the loyal and brave marquis, in Luoyang City to recuperate from injuries, by the way to govern Dugi Province.
For more than a year, with only a few letters, the king of Chu never came to Fengzhou in person.
He was in Toyosu, no less than being exiled by the imperial court in disguise.
For a moment, I couldn't guess who was coming.
"Lord Yu, you're from the north!" The housekeeper bowed down to report.
North?
When the king of Shu heard this, his thoughts hesitated, and he suddenly said in a displeased voice: "Yiran, that old horseman, has sent a messenger to urge the grain again?"
North.
The king of Shu can only think of Yiran Khan, the other four Yi, everyone has no friendship, and there is no need to communicate.
At present, the imperial court is gradually controlling the grain, and the grain he can get is very small, only enough to maintain his own army, and even if there is surplus food, he will never sell it.
"Lord Wang, it's not the envoy of the Yiran Ministry, it's the envoy of the Agus!" Housekeeper debriefing.
Argus?
The King of Shu looked hesitant, puzzled!
He was in Fengzhou and wanted to unite with Yiran Khan, but he never thought of uniting with Argus, so why did someone under Argus suddenly come?
Do you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Hall?
Argus sent messengers, and nine times out of ten nothing good happened.
After pondering for a moment, the King of Shu said in a low voice: "Lead the way ahead!"
In the battle of Chang'an, Yang Yue colluded with the Turks because of the king of Qin, gathered troops to fight, and the king of Qin fell to the point of death.
In the Tang Dynasty, no prince dared to get close to the Turks, for fear of falling into the situation of the King of Qin, the Tang Dynasty was full of rumors, the grass and trees were all soldiers, and the Turks became taboo in the imperial court.
He ventured into secret contact with Yiran in Fengzhou, and he was already dancing at the tip of the knife, which was full of danger, if he was in contact with the messenger of Argus, let Yang Yue grasp the handle, for fear of setting himself on fire, and begging for hardship.
However, the king of Shu was curious, what did Agus send a messenger to?
When he arrived at the living room, Wen Boyan led several messengers and placed ten large wooden boxes full of jewels.
Wen Boyan was raising his eyes and looking in all directions.
Standing up in the living room, Wen Boyan was full of emotion.
Back then, he had to go out of Fengzhou like a beggar, and he once swore not to get ahead and not to step into the customs for half a step.
After so many years, he went through inhuman tribulations in the Turks, and finally stepped into the pass again as an envoy of Argus.
The city of Toyosu has changed hands several times in just three years.
It had been ceded to the Turks by the Tang Dynasty, but it was unexpectedly recovered by the Northern Expedition of the King of Qin, which severely damaged the Turkic elite cavalry, and now it has been reduced to the rule of the King of Shu.
However, he firmly believes that within half a year, Fengzhou will change hands again and return to the embrace of the Turks.
When he was paying attention to the Quartet, the King of Shu stepped over the threshold and walked in, glancing at Wen Boyan and the entourage next to him!
With contemptuous eyes, he didn't pay attention to Wen Boyan and his party, walked directly up the jade steps, sat in the throne, the maid brought tea, and the king of Shu sucked coldly and asked: "Who are you, this king and Argus have never intersected, the well water does not violate the river water, you came to Fengzhou, what are your plans?"
He is not afraid of Yang Yue, thinking about his own future, and he can't be cautious.
From the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for Yang Yue's aggressiveness, forcing him to have no place to stay, he would not look down on the Turks in his heart, and even regarded the Turks as enemies.
When Wen Boyan heard this, he deeply felt the hostility of the King of Shu, secretly forbearance, bowed down and saluted to the King of Shu, and said: "Your Highness, a certain is Wen Boyan, a minister under the account of King Argus Khan, and I came here today to give His Highness a big gift?"
If he lobbied the king of Shu and the Yang Yue brothers to kill each other, the Turks took the opportunity to fish and meat, and if they chased the Central Plains and entered the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely become a minister of the imperial court.
Therefore, as long as Yang Xiao doesn't kill him, he will use his three-inch tongue to lobby Yang Xiao.
Wen Boyan?
The King of Shu muttered, sneering contemptuously: "The down-and-out scholar of the Tang Dynasty, you betrayed the Tang Dynasty and took refuge in Agus, you are only a dog raised by Agus, and you are not qualified to be called a strategist, if you learn of your visit in advance, this king is too lazy to receive it!"
The king of Shu has always been arrogant, arrogant, and does not take everyone in his eyes.
Knowing Wen Boyan's identity, instead of taking him seriously, the contempt on his face became thicker and thicker.
Hearing this, Wen Boyan's face was pale, his whole body trembled, and he had to hold back, eager to get rid of the King of Shu immediately.
The king of Shu acted arrogantly and rudely, if it were not for the Turks being calculated by Yang Yue and being internally unstable, it would be necessary to use the power of the king of Shu. Otherwise, when Yan Xingjun led the troops south, he would persuade Yan Xingjun to eliminate the King of Shu first!
Several messengers next to him were upset for Wen Boyan, and when they wanted to rush out, they were secretly blocked by Wen Boyan.
Wen Boyan looked up at the King of Shu, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, a certain is depressed in the Tang Dynasty, and is reused by the King of Khan in the Turks.
His Highness looks down on a certain person and does not associate with a certain person, but doesn't His Highness think about it for himself?"
"Humph!"
"What is the common saying, all the ancient books have been read into the dog's belly by you, don't you understand loyalty, filial piety and shame?" The king of Shu snorted angrily, and was too lazy to say to Wen Boyanruo: "If you have something to say, Hugh will waste the king's time."
Wen Boyan didn't care when he heard this, and before coming to Fengzhou City, he deliberately learned about the past deeds of the King of Shu.
This is a prince whose heart is higher than the sky, whose life is thinner than paper, and who is known to be able to do nai, who loves beauty but not the country, and who covets the throne in his heart.
Even though the King of Shu is a difficult bone to gnaw and very difficult to entangle, he firmly believes that with his incorruptible tongue and the ambition of the King of Shu, he can successfully lobby the King of Shu.
The arrogant King of Shu willingly became his pawn and became the gravedigger of the Tang Dynasty.
If the big thing can be expected, he has to kill the king of Shu alive and resolve the hatred in his heart.
