The Golden Age Chapter 839: Behind the calculations

The Goddess of Mercy is solemn and compassionate, but the grandson Meier is very concerned.

After a while of silence, Qin Xiao asked softly: "The saint has decided?"

"There shouldn't be much change." The grandson Mei'er thought for a while, and said with a slight smile: "Does the saint send you to serve as an errand in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Although there is no final decision, the saint has this meaning."

"It's not a bad thing to stay away from Kyoto." The grandson Meier said quietly: "If you do your errands in Jiangnan well, as long as you don't make a big mistake, the saint will naturally protect you." Turning his head and looking at Qin Xiao, He wanted to talk and stopped, after all, he didn't say anything.

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally asked: "Sister Sheguan, can I help you?"

The eldest grandson Mei'er was startled, and looked at Qin Xiao in surprise.

Qin Xiao sighed: "If you really go to Bohai, you will be far away from your hometown, naturally you will not be happy."

"It's about the safety of Datang, and personal life and death is not important." Changsun Meier whispered: "The saint has decided to send troops to Xiling within three years to take back the territory that originally belonged to Datang. Here it is. Before, it was natural to plan carefully. Bohai is located in the northeast of Datang, with tens of thousands of armours. He is brave and good at fighting. If the northeast cannot be stabilized, there will be huge hidden dangers in regaining Xiling in the future."

Qin Xiao frowned and said: "So the saint decided to use a woman to marry, and hope that Bohai country will not move?"

"The sage really planned this way." The eldest grandson Meier said: "The sage has a foresight, and should have begun planning to conquer Xiling, so he made an order to Bohai earlier to send them an embassy. At that time, the two countries should be decided. Marriage." Looking up at the statue of Guanyin, he said softly: "The mission has arrived in Kyoto. The marriage is imperative and it is impossible to change."

Qin Xiao wanted to say something but stopped, and finally sneered without speaking.

"Why are you laughing?" Grandson Meier frowned.

Qin Xiao sighed: "I shouldn't have said some things, but... in front of Sister Sheguan, I have nothing to hide." After a pause, he said: "I I also learned a little about Bohai country, knowing that the power of Bohai country is in the hands of Mo Lizhi Yuan Gaijian. Yuan Gaijian is not only ambitious, but more importantly, he is cunning and capricious."

The eldest grandson Mei'er asked: "You know him well?"

"When I was in Hangzhou, I met some merchants who were doing business in the north. They knew a lot about the situation in the north." Qin Xiao said: "The northern grassland is divided into Tusun tribes and stretches to the eastern Black Forest. As far as I know, the Black Forest is vast. There are more than a dozen tribes living in the Black Forest. Although they are adjacent to the Bohai Kingdom, they have always been in peace. However, Yuan Gaijian has used it for many years after he took control of the Bohai power. All kinds of methods have annexed the Black Forest and controlled the Black Forest in the hands of the Bohai people."

The eldest grandson Meier nodded slightly and said: "The palace also knows about this. But the Bohai people and the Tusun people are guilty, and it is harmless to my Datang."

"Yuan Gai built up the black forest before annexing the Black Forest, and divided the Tusun tribe in the Black Forest. In order to win over some of the powerful tribes, the Bohai nobles even married the noble women of the Tusun tribe." Qin Xiao With a solemn expression, he whispered softly: "Not only that, Yuan Gaijian himself also married a picture

The Tag of the Sun tribe, also known as the princess. "

The eldest grandson Mei'er looked at Qin Xiao with beautiful misty eyes, and did not speak.

"But after finding an opportunity, Yuan Gaijian was not merciful to the Tusun tribes who were married." Qin Xiao sneered, "According to those merchants, after the Bohai Navy took down the Black Forest, Yuan Gaijian opened up. Killing, no mercy to his so-called in-laws, the Tusuntag, who has become his concubine's room, was even handed with a bowstring by him...!" At this point, what I realized, what follows Did not go on.

The eldest grandson Meier Bingxue is smart, and naturally knows what Qin Xiao meant, and said: "You are worried that even if Datang and Bohai marry, if there is a chance, the people of Bohai will not estimate the marriage relationship, and will still take advantage of it. ?"

"It's not worry. In my opinion, things will happen." Qin Xiao said: "Bohai people are capricious. If you want them to kneel on the ground and guard themselves, there is only one way, that is, Datang is strong and frightens them. , Playing so hard that they can't hold their heads up, otherwise they will never be honest. They take the initiative to ask for marriage and form a country of in-laws. In my opinion, they do not want to live in harmony with our Datang, but instead want to borrow from their in-laws. Datang gains more benefits, and it may even confuse Datang."

The eldest grandson Mei'er frowned and said, "Confused by Tang?"

"Bohai has been expanding all over the years, and his ambitions have long been revealed." Qin Xiao said: "They must be worried that if they continue to expand unscrupulously, they will arouse Datang's vigilance." After a pause, he said in a low voice, "Leave officer." Sister, let’s say something that shouldn’t be said. Today’s Datang is naturally not comparable to its heyday, but the lean camel is bigger than the horse. If Datang really concentrates on dealing with Bohai, Yuan Gaijian will definitely not be able to stand it. Live."

The eldest grandson Mei'er smiled calmly: "That's natural."

“So Bohai got married with us. After we have the in-laws, we naturally don’t have to worry about Datang attacking them.” Qin Xiao sighed, “I have a marriage relationship with us, even if Bohai does it. Datang will be tolerant of things that shouldn’t be done. This is what Yuan Gai Jianxin knows very well. It uses in-laws as a cover to expand its influence, and after marriage, it can also divert Datang’s attention. /

The eldest grandson Mei'er stared at Qin Xiao with soft eyes. Qin Xiao was a little embarrassed by her, touched her cheek, and asked: "Sister Sheguan, I.....Am I wrong?" /

"You have such insights, you are already very clever." The grandson Mei'er sighed softly: "Do you think the saints don't know what you are talking about?"

"If the sage understands Yuan's intentions, why would he still want to use marriage to let the Bohai people stay safe and self-defeating?" Qin Xiao frowned.

The eldest grandson Meier said: "Because in the hearts of the saints, the Wutuo people are far more threatening than the Bohai people. If the imperial court now puts its energy to the northeast to curb the expansion of the Bohai people, then there will be no more I spared no effort to deal with Xiling. At the time of Emperor Wu Zong, with the strength of the empire at that time, coupled with the wiseness of Emperor Wu Zong, it took ten years to completely surrender the Bohai country. This shows that the people of Bohai were not easy to deal with. "After a pause, he continued: "Bohai's current strength, even Datang, can't be overwhelmed in a short period of time. Once you spend another ten or eight years in the northeast, you will look back at Xiling. It has become the territory of the Wutuo people, and it is almost impossible to conquer Xiling."

Qin Xiao's face is even more solemn.

"Once Xiling fell into the hands of the Wutuo people, my Datang would directly face the threat of the Wutuo Khanate, and then I had to hook up the defense to the west." Long Sun Meier sighed quietly: "It was expensive at that time. Silver is enough to drag down the life of the empire. Although Li Tuo recognizes the thief as the father, both sides have their own minds. Li Tuo was not reconciled to being controlled by the Wutuo for a while, and the people of Xiling were still interested in Datang for the time being, and they were not. Tame, there is still time to use troops on Xiling within three years. If it is delayed, it will only cause more damage to the empire."

Qin Xiao understood, and said: "The saint wants to conquer Xiling first and stabilize the situation in the west before freeing his hands to deal with the Bohai people?"

"The Bohai people are indeed capricious." Changsun Meier said: "But they still bully the soft and fear the hard. Datang is not the Tusun tribe in the Black Forest. Even if Yuan Gaijian is ambitious, he does not dare to have absolute timing. Act rashly. If the court sent troops to Xiling, if it had the upper hand, the situation would be favorable. Yuan Gaijian would never harass in the northeast, unless...then the battle of Xiling was defeated and the Bohai talents might take advantage of it. "

Qin Xiao looked solemn and said: "So, does the saint want to take a gamble?"

"With the current national power of the Tang Dynasty, one can only gamble." Long Sun Meier said: "As long as the Xiling war goes smoothly, there is no need to worry about the threat from the Bohai people."

Qin Xiao was astonished, thinking that the bet of the saint was too big, and once he lost, the entire Datang would be at stake.

However, nowadays the wolves around Datang are watching, but it is really hard to come up with a perfect solution.

"Since the Bohai people send troops or not depends on the situation of my Datang in Xiling, why marry them?" Qin Xiao asked softly.

The eldest grandson Mei'er thought for a while, and then whispered softly: "Yuan Gai was built in the Bohai Sea with great power. Have you ever thought that he has such a powerful monopoly, don't anyone feel jealous?"

"You mean...The King of Bohai?"

"Not bad." The eldest grandson Meier lightly said: "The King Bohai Yongzang asked Datang several times. It seems that he only hopes to get along with the Datang, but there must be other plans behind it. After Emperor Wuzong conquered the Bohai Sea back then , Bohai was divided into seven, and seven marquis was sealed. Yuan Gaijian eventually cut off all of these people, but because of this, he must have made countless enemies in the country. He has the power to dominate, and King Yongzang has become his puppet, the Bohai country. Is the Lord willing to be at his mercy?"

Qin Xiao realized what, and whispered: "Sister Sheguan, you mean that King Yongzang asked Datang for marriage to make Datang his backer by in-laws?"

"In Bohai, there is bound to be a group of people who want to get rid of Yuan Gaijian." The beautiful eyes of the grandson Mei'er were shining with wisdom: "These people will definitely regard King Yong Zang as their backbone, but Yuan Gai Jian’s strength is too strong for King Yong Zang to act rashly. But once he gets married with Datang, King Yong Zang will have a lot of confidence behind him. Even if it is Yuan Gaijian, he will be somewhat hesitant."

Qin Xiao thinks so, that there is another deep meaning behind the in-laws this time.

"The saint actually never thought that King Yong Zang could actually cut off the Yuan Gai family." The grandson Meier said slowly: "But as long as the King Yong Zang is not completely at the mercy of Yuan Gai Jian, he can even restrain Yuan Gai Jian. , Then this family relationship has its due value." Gazing at Qin Xiao, said: "So of course the saint will try his best to promote this family of in-laws, whoever wants to block it and mislead the saint’s plan, the saint will certainly not be polite." /
