Slowly walking all the way, Qin Mubai strolled around the built city of Samad.
Although this city is not as grand and majestic as Changan's rules, it is also prosperous, especially the business travel is very active. Walking on this street, the most you see are the Sogdians dressed in traditional Islamic white robes and painted with hair oil. Needless to say, there are rows of shops, not to mention a minor child or a dangling old man who came across along the way. The old people sitting leaning against the door also peddled to passers-by the special ceres and agates of the Western Regions or wine-ware horses. Seeing that Qin Mubai resembled a native of the Central Plains, many people rushed to ask him if he had brought silk or ceramics from the Central Plains for exchange.
Datang's silk, ceramics and tea, as well as paintings, armors, and wine vessels are all top goods on the Western Regions Commercial Road, with huge profits.
It is said that after Kang Guo's child is born, his family will put honey on his mouth first. The intention is to make him "like honey in his mouth" when he grows up to facilitate business negotiations. Therefore, walking on the streets of Kangguo, everyone laughs whenever they are familiar with each other. Everyone is amicable. It is hard to see a fight or a fight all year round. It is not necessary to mention such vicious incidents as murder and arson.
Such a rich, lively, harmonious and stable place is undoubtedly particularly suitable for living. Qin Mubai now understands why Wu Meiniang has come to Kang Country without hesitation. She just wanted to one day after Qin Mubai retired, her family moved to the paradise of Kangguo to support her life.
In the eyes of Kang Guoren, commercial profit is everything. Businessmen pay attention to harmony and make money. Therefore, Kang Juguo, from the king to the people, resisted the war, and thus became quite weak and incompetent in the military, which is a natural thing.
Qin Mubai went all the way and pondered that the nine countries of Zhaowu wanted to unite into one country, which is a good thing for Datang. It is much easier to have a unified big family as a friendly neighbor than to control nine small vassals. These nine small Western countries from the same origin all have the same characteristics: good at doing business, a prosperous country, and weak military.
Now the people of the nine countries have a powerful Kansai army to help out, which happens to be complementary.
This is indeed a good time for the alliance of the nine nations. Now the two sides win each other. As long as Qin Mubai agreed to make this happen, it was bound to hit it off.
As Yuan Tiangang said, it is a good thing for public and private. But Qin Mubai also had some concerns, the reason was Wu Meiniang.
Looking at the current situation, Wu Meiniang seems to be very keen to be Kang Guo's first and auxiliary military minister. In other words, this woman is born with something extraordinary. In her bones, she has the desire to win without losing to a man, and she strives to excel in everything she does.
If she has the throne of Xin Kang Guo, she can do it with her ability. Otherwise, she would not be the only female emperor in Chinese history to rule the world!
Originally, it didn't matter who was the king of Kang. But just because Wu Meiniang is Qin Mubai's wife, and she reigns in the Western Regions with such a sensitive identity, what kind of attitude will the Tang court look like?
This possibility is not ruled out. In the eyes of the court and Li Shimin, it is actually his Qin Mubai who claims to be the king!
The nature of that thing has changed!
……
Thinking about this, Qin Mubai felt that the unification of the Nine Kingdoms and Wu Meiniang's rule must be handled carefully. If something is wrong, it is very likely that it will cause the fire to burn.
"Being a man, you can't forget your roots!" Qin Mubai took a deep breath and sighed to himself, "With my current strength and prestige, I can indeed stand alone as a king in the Western Regions, and even establish a relationship with The great empire of the Great Tang Chamber of Resistance!... But I never thought of betraying the Great Tang, I don't want to be a rebel and thief!"
Back to the barracks, Qin Mubai fell asleep.
Yesterday, I first went to the "bridal house" and then went to see Yuan Tiangang who basically didn't sleep all night. In addition, he was really tired after marching a few days before.
The left and right generals did not dare to bother him, until in the evening, a quick horse envoy from Lanzhou asked to see Qin Mubai, Xiao Xuanwu and Zhu Bancheng, the two generals who stayed behind at Samedok, did they dare Wake up Qin Mubai.
"The secret envoy from Lanzhou?" Qin Mubai replied in a daze, and suddenly woke up and sat up, "From Lanzhou?—Hurry up!"
The emissary was called in, very familiar. It turned out to be a small school in Xiangzhou Military Mansion before, and he was Pang Fei's confidant.
After paying the worship, the little school hurriedly took out a letterhead from his arms, inside it was a piece of greased paper.
This is "Secret Letter" paper for Baiqi. It must be soaked in a special potion to show the writing.
It can be seen from this that what Pang Fei wants to report is indeed top secret.
Qin Mubai quickly fetched the potion and read the letter.
The letter is actually very simple. The imperial court urgently summoned King Wu and Li Ke to return to Beijing; moreover, soon after Qin Mubai left, Chu Suiliang was ordered to "inspect Lanzhou" and invited Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang to return to Beijing. Since Qin Mubai had already led his army to the Western Regions, Princess Gaoyang had already left for the capital alone.
Qin Mubai's brows tightened.
"Does General Pang still trust you to take it?" Qin Mubai asked the little school.
The small school replied: "When he left, General Pang said that you don’t have to worry about Lanzhou if you want to be a young commander. However, General Pang couldn’t handle the affairs of the court. Also, three days before the final departure, Wang Wu I had already left Luo and arrived in Lanzhou, and he was in plain clothes. Even Lanzhou officials did not know. If it weren't for King Wu to visit Princess Gaoyang and his nephew and righteous daughter at the Metropolitan Governor's House, even General Pang would not know."
"The action is so top-secret?" Qin Mubai felt even more suspicious, "Could it be that King Wu left Luo privately and returned to the capital? No, if he returned to Beijing privately, how could he go to my house? It clearly smells of venting to me..."
"Did Wang Wu leave any words?"
"Not a word." The little school replied, "He didn't see His Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang, so he hugged the son and Xiaolou'er to play for a while, and immediately left the city and left Lanzhou. According to the man in the marshal's mansion, He should have left for Chang'an with no more than ten people. Mrs. Chen felt that this matter was unusual, so she asked General Pang to ask the matter to be reported to the marshal."
"Chen Yan has always been careful and alert. It seems that Wang Wu was quite low-key and cautious this time, and he didn't reveal a word to my family and Pang Fei." Qin Mubai wrung his brows and thought for a long time, suddenly Surprised!
"Can General Pang send someone to **** King Wu all the way?!" Qin Mubai asked suddenly.
The little school was frightened, and he hurriedly replied: "General Pang saw that King Wu deliberately concealed his whereabouts, so he had to go to the meeting. But the general who accompanied King Wu was called'Yin Yang' , Seems to be very familiar with General Pang. When King Wu went to the Marshal’s Mansion, Yin Yang went to see General Pang in private. After the two gathered for a while, King Wu was about to leave, and General Pang secretly sent a five. The 10-man Metropolitan Guardsmen, in the name of patrolling commercial stations and capturing fugitives, traveled east on the same road as King Wu, and protected King Wu secretly along the way."
"Only fifty people?" Qin Mubai was a little unhappy.
"Don't worry, the marshal. It's fifty snow sculpture soldiers, dressed as ordinary guards of the metropolitan government. The snow sculpture soldiers are among the elite of our Guanxi Army, and all of them are one-stop ten." The small school quickly replied.
"Oh, that's almost the same..." Qin Mubai felt a little relieved. Pang Fei has always been careful, and now he is more and more sophisticated in his work.
The little colonel went on to say: "The final estimate is that General Yin Yang must have made a request for **** to General Pang, but he couldn't make it too obvious. That's why General Pang arranged this way. However, our troops are the farthest. I can only **** King Wu to Huizhou!"
"That's right. Our troops will go east and leave the jurisdiction of the Lanzhou Metropolitan Government Mansion. It will be a scheme of misdemeanor!" Qin Mubai cut his back with his hands, paced back and forth, pondering.
He believes that Wu Wang Li Ke will definitely not leave his post without permission and leave Luo to go to Chang'an privately. The reason for leaving is definitely because of a call from the court and a secret call. Otherwise, Li Ke couldn't be careful all the way like a thief, and no one dared to be alarmed.
However, Li Ke seemed to be a little worried about the safety of his trip, so he deliberately dropped his feet in Lanzhou. He did not dare to ask Lanzhou for the protection of the guards, but secretly "invited" Pang Fei to send someone to **** him.
So, Lee Ke's trip is not easy. One is quite top-secret, the second is the mission is important, and the third is he is in danger of his life on the way!
Qin Mubai was shocked: Did the emperor secretly summon Li Ke to return to Beijing for the sake of - Li Chu? !
In Yangyang Datang, the East Palace has been vacant for more than years. This is a very inappropriate thing. Now that the chaos of the war has subsided, there is nothing important for the court, and the matter of Li Chu is bound to resurface, and it will no longer be inevitable!
Although it is not yet known who Li Shimin will appoint as the prince, it can be seen from his secret call of Li Ke to return to Beijing that Li Ke may be one of the candidates for the prince!
So, it is conceivable that someone would want to kill him on his way back to Beijing! But Li Ke could not be too ostentatious, and he dared not bring too many troops with him. So he had no choice but to travel to Lanzhou, seeking protection from Lanzhou.
At this time, Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang were not there. Fortunately, Pang Fei was still cautious and safe, which made Qin Mubai a little relieved.
The information sent by Pang Fei is very important to Qin Mubai. Thinking about it, Li Ke stopped briefly in Lanzhou on his way back to Beijing. Although it was only a flash of surprise and he did not leave a word, he has already conveyed a very important message to Qin Mubai-"I am going to Chang'an to gamble my life." , You have to take care!"
Compared with the battle of the East Palace of the Tang Dynasty, such things as the famous food marshal Nurman, the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, and Niang Wu Mei are not so important.
"Come here!" Qin Mubai called.
"The final will be!" Xiao Xuanwu and Zhu Bancheng entered the account together.
"Quickly, I will make an order with Su Dingfang on the front line and order him to send someone to negotiate a peace with Nurman!" Qin Mubai said, "The standard for peace talks is that Kang Guo and Da Shi do not claim each other's courts, pay no tribute to each other, and live on an equal footing The two countries are bounded by the Sam River and have never invaded each other and have friendly exchanges since then. Whoever dares to breach the alliance and breach of contract, Datang will surely fight with the 400,000 troops in Kansai, endlessly!"
"Yes!"
The two generals agreed together, and the entourage room on the side joined the army and quickly wrote down the military order Qin Mubai had said.
"Send a message to Su Dingfang, so that he might as well give Nurman more of the specialties of the Central Plains and the treasures of Kangguo, so that he has a step down, and he can go back to explain to their monarch." After that, Qin Mu Bai took off a treasure knife that was hanging on the handsome account and said, "This is the treasure that was given to me by His Majesty the Emperor himself when I was elected as the Hundred Horse Envoy. I took it and gave it to Nurman. I told him that I am Qin. People welcome him to visit Datang and are willing to make him a friend."
"Uh..." The two generals Xiao and Zhu were startled, and said, "Marshal, this is the sword bestowed by your majesty. What you always wear with you is your beloved thing, so you can't please it. Nurman? Could it be that we are still afraid that he will fail!"
"Have a lot to say, who did Qin and the Guanxi Army have never been afraid of?" Qin Mubai glared at them coldly, and said, "It's just a matter of urgency. Now we don't have time to pay attention to cannibalism. The alliance and truce must be made as soon as possible. Tell Su Dingfang that after the alliance, only the original Kangguo army will be stationed at the Sam River Port, so that he and Yuwen Hongtai will lead their troops back to Samudan and join me!
"Yes!" The second general's expression suddenly became serious, and his heart also shrank: The marshal is concentrating the strength of the Kansai army. Is there a big battle to be fought in the near future? !
"Don't guess or spread false news everywhere. The messenger should not talk nonsense and confuse the military when he goes to the Sam River!" Qin Mubai said harshly, "Violators are punished severely!"
"Yes!"
"Go to work!"
The second general Xiao Zhu left, and Qin Mubai talked with his small school for a while. After learning about the situation in Lanzhou, he arranged for him to go to rest.
Chang'an, there was finally a hint of wind.
Although Qin Mubai is thousands of miles away in Samojian, he can already imagine what the swords are drawn above the Chang'an court at this moment.
Back then, Li Shimin was able to ascend to the throne through the Xuanwu Sect, killing his brothers and forcing his father to go to the throne; Feng Shui has turned to today, when Li Ke returns to Beijing, if King Wei of Chang'an did not do something special The thing, then he is not the "sick and dark fat man" Li Daozong said!
Qin Mubai, began to faintly worry about Li Ke...
