Qian Song

Chapter 169 The Empress, Concubine and Princess (ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

Fourth of July.

Li Cun led the rear guards into Shenglong City.

Prior to this, Wu Lin had already arranged for the army to enter the city, conveying Li Cun's will: any army of the Huben Army is not allowed to order, and is not allowed to enter personal homes to disturb the people.

At the same time, Chen Kuopong ordered the streets and alleys to be covered with notices: declaring that our Huben army is only here to liberate slaves and will not harass civilians.

In order to ensure that unnecessary accidents and conflicts did not occur, the vanguard also shouted in Chinese and Li Chaoyu: People in the city do not need to panic, regardless of military or civilian, regardless of Han and Yue, as long as they surrender, the army will not commit any crimes.

Seeing this battle, how can the people in Shenglong City not understand that the Serisians have completely occupied Shenglong City, and some important people are about to enter the city?

With that curiosity, he secretly opened a gap in the door and window, and then looked out.

see:

Countless troops lined up to meet them.

And Li Cun is wearing a golden armor, riding a huge white horse with no variegation, majestic and majestic.

Behind Li Cun were thousands of cavalry led by Yao Xing, marching across the outer city and inner city directly into the imperial city.

When he came to the gate of Li Dynasty's palace, Li Cun saw the extremely old Li Gande at a glance, leading all the civil and military officials of Li Dynasty to kneel down to greet him.

At this moment, Li Gande knelt on the ground, holding up the jade seal with both hands, and there was a coffin and a white lamb behind him.

Seeing this, Li Cun smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "I almost stripped myself and tied me up, and this scene is considered complete."

Li Cun will not forget Li Gande's aggression and ignore Li Gande's fangs just because Li Gande looks like he is letting himself be slaughtered.

You know, not long after Li Gande came to the throne, Li Gande forced the Empress Dowager Shangyang, who was in charge of politics, to be buried. Thousands of people were massacred in the three prefectures of Qin, Lian, and Yong, and a large number of Chinese people were captured and returned to the Li Dynasty as slaves. It launched a war of aggression, slaughtered more than 10 people in its own territory, and kidnapped more than 5 people in its own territory.

A wolf will always be a wolf, even if he pretends to be a sheep, it will not change the fact that he is a wolf.

Li Cun ignored Li Gande, just took the jade seal that Li Gande was holding in his hand as he passed by, and then continued to walk into Li Chao's palace.

suddenly!

Li Cun said without turning his head, "I hate that sheep."

Hearing Li Cun's words, Li Cun's guards immediately drew out their sabers and hacked the lamb to death.

Seeing this scene, Li Gande, who was kneeling on the ground, fell to the ground in fright.

Li Cun walked into the palace of the Li Dynasty, and then slowly boarded the Long Live Hall.

This is the place where Li Gande usually met with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Li Dynasty and once gave orders to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Li Dynasty.

At this time, the inside and outside of Li Chao's palace had already been taken over by Li Cun's personal guards, and they would never give anyone a chance to approach Li Cun.

Li Cun sat majestically on Li Gande's dragon chair.

Li Renjie led the civil and military officials, monks, Taoists and elders of the Li Dynasty to kneel down outside the temple and beg for an amnesty from Li Cun.

Li Cun said through an interpreter: "Since you take the initiative to open the city and surrender, I will spare your life. However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. You connived and encouraged Li Gande to go to our territory to burn, kill, loot, and plunder our people's enslaved people. , Man and God are indignant, the law of heaven is intolerable, and the punishment must be lowered."

After a pause, Li Cunlang said in a loud voice: "All the former Li Dynasty officials, gentry and nobles ransacked their homes, and all the slaves returned to our people. The civilians who made no mistakes did not commit any crimes. If they dare to resist, they will be executed immediately."

As soon as Li Cun's words fell, the faces of Li Dynasty's civil and military officials, monks, Taoists and elders all became very ugly.

But these people dare not show it.

Now that Li Cun's hundreds of thousands of troops have completely surrounded Shenglong City, who dares to touch Li Cunmei's head? What is the difference between that and courting death?
Taking a step back, these people at least saved the lives of their family members, so that the green hills would not be afraid of running out of firewood.

Following Li Cun's order, the vigorous raiding operation began...

At the same time, Li Cun ordered to take Wu Jie as the capital and Lu Shinang as the Annan resettlement envoy to lead the [-] Yulin Army and all the Annan Army to continue to fight in the south of the Li Dynasty and liberate the slaves in the south of the Li Dynasty...

After the matter was settled, Li Cun began to inspect the palace of the Li Dynasty.

At this time, Yuwen Huangzhong, Chen Yun, Li Gang and Li Guang were called to Li Cun's side again.

Li Cun asked the four of them, "How is my battle going?"

All four were silent.

how is it?

What else could it be?

With the critical eyes of the four of them, they had to admit that Li Cun was really amazing.

It was supposed to be a war that cost people money and drained Li Cun's strength, but it forced Li Cun to rely on a victory, wise policies, and steady and ruthless propaganda methods to take advantage of the righteousness and benefits, and the key was to make the aggression The war turned into an internal war in the Li dynasty.

As a result, so far, the real casualties of the Huben army have not even reached a thousand, and the team has been tempered.

The battle of Li Cun's destruction of the Li Dynasty was at least enough for the Huben army for two or three years.

In the eyes of the four, there is only a lot more.

You know, looking at the posture Li Cun puts on, he wants to rob Li Chao's upper class.

Moreover, the four noticed that Li Cun even grabbed food.

The four estimated that, apart from leaving the necessary rations for the people of the Li Dynasty, Li Cun would definitely transport all the rest of the food back.

It is conceivable that with the food from the Li Dynasty and the food from Champa, the people in Li Cun's territory will definitely not worry about food in a short time.

Even, the four of them felt that the reason why Li Cun came to attack Li Dynasty and Champa in person might be because these two areas are areas with high grain production.

If this is the case, then the nearby Khmer, Queen's Kingdom and other countries may also be in danger.

Li Cun looked at Chen Yun and said seriously: "Hangbo, the Champa city that Li Chao and I are going to conquer is a newly restored land, and there must be a lot of trouble. If there is no competent person to manage it, I am afraid that it will be lost again. I want you to guard these two places for me, what do you want?"

Hearing this, Chen Yun remained silent as before, but his eyes moved subconsciously.

—He was tempted.

Li Cun said sincerely: "These two places were originally my homeland of the Han people, and now they are recovered by luck. I don't care about management, making them lost again. It is a pity, and if they are obtained by others, they will harass the people in my territory again. My character You all know that it is better to bend than to bend. If he comes to beat me again, I will pay him back, but if he comes to fight again, he will waste people and waste money.

Li Cun then commented on Chen Yun: "You are both civil and military, good at governance, finance, and transportation. It is rare to be good at war but not fond of war. You are loyal and reliable. You are really the best choice to station here."

Li Cun's evaluation of Chen Yun hit the nail on the head, so that Chen Yun couldn't even help but feel a sense of confidant.

Bearing it again and again, Chen Yu still couldn't hold it back, and said: "These two places are the throats of Haimao that you care about the most, can you rest assured that they will be handed over to me?"

As soon as Li Cun heard that there was a door, he said conclusively: "You, Chen Yu, are by no means a person who cuts the land and stands on his own. These two places are separated from the Song Dynasty by thousands of rivers and mountains. Even if you offer it to Zhao Song, Zhao Song will not get it, and you will not be able to get it." I dare not ask for it."

When Chen Yun heard this, he couldn't help but smile wryly!

Facing Li Cun, an opponent who knew both him and Zhao Song Dynasty very well, Chen Yun really lost his temper at all.

Li Cun said again: "How about you and I make another gentleman's agreement?"

Chen Yan said in his heart: "Last time I fell into your gentleman's plan, and this time you want to use the same trick to harm me again?!"

Although he thought so, Chen Yun couldn't help asking: "What is a gentleman's appointment?"

Li Cun said with a smile: "You first manage these two places for me. If one day, Zhao Song can take my land and pass it to you, I will allow you to take the land back to Song. It doesn't count as your betrayal, how?"

Then Li Cun smiled even brighter: "When you were here, you were considered to have opened up territory for Zhao Song, and you were also a hero of Zhao Song."

After hearing Li Cun's remarks, Chen Yun couldn't help but regret that he owed himself!

Sure enough, Li Cun played with Chen Yun again.

Chen Yun believes that Li Cun will definitely do what he says.

But the problem is, Chen Yun doesn't believe that Zhao Ji, who is incompetent but overjoyed, can take back the Six Roads of Jiangnan from Li Cun, who is treacherous, cunning and wise as a demon, who has no other shortcomings except lust.

The key point is that Chen Yun still can't tell the truth.

Because telling the truth is tantamount to acknowledging that Li Cun will definitely destroy the Zhao Song Dynasty and become the lord of the world.

If this is definitely the case, then he, Chen Yu, still opposes Li Cun, which is perverting and reading the books of sages in vain.

More importantly, this also means that Chen Yun does not believe in the Zhao Song Dynasty that he has always been loyal to.

Undoubtedly, Li Cun set up Chen Xun again, and Chen Xun had to agree if he agreed, or he had to agree if he didn't agree.

But unlike the last time when he reluctantly agreed, after being cornered by Li Cun this time, Chen Yun became much more relaxed.

Chen Yun took a deep breath, then stretched out his hand: "It's a deal."

Li Cun gave Chen Yun a high-five happily: "It's hard to catch a four-horse horse."

Just when Chen Yun felt that the matter had come to an end, Li Cun suddenly said, "Chen Yun listens."

Take measures!

This is definitely an inch!

Chen Yun knew that Li Cun was trying to subdue him further.

But what if he knows, he can still be as shameless as Li Cun, and use any means to achieve his goal?
What's more, if Li Cun doesn't seal him up, how can he carry out work in Li Dynasty and Zhancheng?
There was no way, after holding back for a long time, Chen Yun finally said: "Listen, let's talk."

Li Cun didn't care about Chen Yun's attitude, but said with a smile: "I hereby appoint Chen Yun as the Xuanfu Envoy of Annan and Champa. From now on, he will be fully responsible for the military and political transfer of the two places. I hereby."

Is Li Cun despicable or not?
The answer is yes, as long as it can be done, Li Cun can be said to be omnipotent, and he has never been offline.

But Li Cun's employment is so bold that people can't help but be moved.

Xuanfu envoy!

A feudal official who represented the military and political power!
In the Zhao Song Dynasty, it was an official position that only a very small number of people such as Tong Guan could temporarily hold.

Judging from Li Cun's posture, Chen Yu, the Annan and Champa Propaganda Envoy, would probably serve at least a few years, even if he did not have a lifelong tenure.

This feeling of being so trusted by the monarch made Chen Yun, who was as determined as he was, couldn't help it. After hesitating for a while, he punched Li Cun and said: "Got it."

Then, Li Cun called Tang Dan, one of his personal guards, and said, "From now on, your troops will follow Chen Xuanfu and be his personal army, obey his command, and protect him thoroughly. If he makes a slight mistake, I only ask you."

Tang Dan glanced at Chen Yun, and then replied, "No."

Li Cun didn't go to explain to Chen Yun that he didn't ask someone to watch him. Of course, he would definitely ask someone to watch him, but it definitely wasn't the commanding bodyguard. He arranged the commanding bodyguard for him to really protect him.

Chen Yun didn't doubt Li Cun's intentions either.

Maybe this is the tacit understanding between the two.

Seeing this scene, Yuwen Huangzhong, Li Gang and Li Guang didn't know why, and they didn't mean to blame Chen Yun, and they even understood Chen Yun's choice very well.

After all, no matter how powerful Li Cun was in conflict with the Zhao and Song Dynasties, it is an indisputable fact that Li Cun regained the old land for the Han people.

In this case, they might be replaced by them, and most of them will make the same choice as Chen Yun.

With Chen Yun helping Li Cun to deal with many complicated matters after regaining the Li Dynasty, Li Cun was at ease-if someone came to Li Cun, Li Cun kicked him to Chen Yun directly, which was extremely simple.

The next day, when Li Cun was lying on Li Gande's dragon bed and receiving Shi Honggu's massage, Liu Xuan, the eunuch used by Li Cunyu, came to report: "The governor, the former Li Renjie, the governor of the Li Dynasty, asked to see him."

Li Cun actually didn't like to use eunuchs.

But this Liu Xuan was an exception.

Liu Xuan was originally a student of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Later, because he had no relationship and could not be an official, Liu Xuan returned to Guangzhou to start maritime trade.

Liu Xuan went to Nanyang seven times and made some money.

But when Liu Xuan came back for the seventh time, he unfortunately encountered pirates.

That group of pirates didn't talk about martial ethics, not only robbed Liu Xuan's money, goods and ships, but also sold Liu Xuan to Li Chao as a slave.

What's even more unfortunate is that Liu Xuan was forcibly castrated by the person who bought him, and then sold into the palace of the Li Dynasty to become an eunuch.

Li Cun also knew some of Li Chao's language, but not much, so he needed an interpreter.

The people from the Ministry of Officials screened and selected four translators for Li Cun, and this Liu Xuan was one of them.

After passing the school examination, Li Cun found that Liu Xuan was not only proficient in the language of the Li Dynasty, he was also proficient in the languages ​​of the Champa, Khmer, and Mon people in the Indochina Peninsula, and even the languages ​​of Dashi and Tianzhu. All understand.

What's even more rare is that Liu Xuan was trained by the eunuchs of the Li Dynasty to be very good at serving people.

So Li Cun simply left Liu Xuan by his side as an errand eunuch.

Hearing Liu Xuan say that Li Renjie wanted to see him, Li Cun didn't even think about it, so he said, "Tell him to find Chen Yun."

Unexpectedly, Liu Xuan did not leave.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Cun knew that Liu Xuan hadn't moved, so he turned his head to look at Liu Xuan: "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't hesitate."

Liu Xuan hurriedly said: "Li Renjie gave the minister a night pearl, and the minister must tell the governor that before the city was broken, he sent troops to protect the queen, concubine, seven princesses and all the daughters of the clan of the Li Dynasty. Get up, he wants to dedicate them to the governor."

Hearing this, Li Cun suddenly became energetic...
