Chapter 302 Liu's Back Road
The invited object covered almost all the tribes on the grassland, and even Tuoba Si received invitations.
For the people of Wei, this is an almost insulting invitation, but Tuoba Si can only endure it at this time, because he has just ascended the throne and the relationship in all aspects has not been fully smoothed.
Wen Hiti of the Rouran Department, Helian Bobo of the Tiefu Department, He Ne of the Helan Department, etc., and the chief leaders of the Dugu Department, the Gaoche Department, Kumoxi, Khitan and other departments also came one after another. This time, no one dares to send messengers to deal with the increasingly powerful emperor of the Jin Dynasty.
What Lu Qiang didn't expect most was that Beiliang Juqu Mengxun and Xianbei Nanliang bald Yan, who were originally attached to the Qin Dynasty, sent people to participate in the alliance.
It can be said that Lu Qiang convened this grassland alliance. First, he showed force to the grassland tribes, and at the same time, he did not have any good intentions. After all, as far as the current strength of the Jin Dynasty is concerned, he did not have the strength to intervene in grassland affairs, but it is still okay to provoke the relationship between the tribes with some empty checks.
Liu Sinu did not return to Luoyang, but rushed directly to Yanmenguan to meet Lu Qiang after pedaling on the Shandong Peninsula.
The situation on the Korean Peninsula can be said to be completely developing according to his vision. Although Baekje is finished, it must not allow more ambitious people to talk about morality in power.
In fact, Gao Tande also understands that now both Goguryeo and Baekje are about to become ruins and have no strength to compete with the Jin Dynasty, so what he has to do now is to rest and recuperate. For this reason, his messenger almost chased Liu Sinu's buttocks to the Yanmenguan camp.
At this time, just after July, the climate is refreshing, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and under the blue sky and white clouds, the endless wilderness makes people feel relaxed and happy.
However, the appearance of the barracks obviously destroyed this quiet beauty.
100,000 troops are stationed on the grassland, hunting with banners and horses roaring. The knives and guns like a forest reflect a fing light in the sun, and white tents seem to extend to the sky.
This power alone is enough to deter all parts of the grassland. In the past, it was as powerful as the Wei army, and there was no such strict military appearance.
In the past few days, the leaders of various tribes have privately found a strong way, and those who seek help are nothing more than all kinds of help. Lu Qiang did not agree or refuse these demands, but only responded to them for various reasons.
According to Lu Qiang's words, the landlord has no surplus food! I'm not a philanthropist. Whoever comes to ask for help will agree. Will my subjects still live?
But if you really want to get assistance, it's not impossible. It depends on what kind of sincerity you can show? It's just that there is no use for it.
Gao Tande sent Gao Wu and Mou Tou Lou this time. Their task is to do whatever it takes in exchange for the Jin Dynasty not to use troops in Goguryeo. Even if Gao Tande can be called the emperor of the Central Plains.
It's a pity that this grandson Lu Qiang dares not ask for it.
However, Moutou Lou is still a little smart. Knowing that Liu's daughter was also in the camp, he discussed with Gao Wu, and then came to visit Liu's daughter with a large number of gifts.
Only at this time, Liu Sinu was sitting in Lu Qiang's tent and talking about Goguryeo with Wang Zhenwei, Han Yanzhi, Sun Hu and others.
In fact, Lu Qiang's previous idea was for Khitan, Kumoxi and other tribes to send troops, but after a few days of observation, Lu Qiang found that these tribes were still too loose to organize a large army. In this way, it was necessary for the court to send out a large army, otherwise it would not work at all.
But when it comes to the large-scale use of troops on Gaogu Lida, not to mention the ministers, even Lu Qiang himself does not agree. At this time, Liu Sinu's plan has been launched, and the Baekje army has been dispersed. When Gao Tande receives the land of Baekje, it is the best time to send troops.
So Lu Qiang is hesitating now.
Liu Sinu knew her impression in the hearts of the officials, so after saying what she had to say, she sat there without saying a word.
Han Yanzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should make full use of the Baekje people. As long as we add a little assistance, Baekje and Goguryeo will always be in such a mess. As for the complete elimination of Gao Tande, I think it is better to send troops after the unification of the world."
Wang Zhenzhen also nodded and said, "Since Yao Hong was asked to go to Luoyang by His Majesty, the battle for the prince in Chang'an has become increasingly serious. As long as the chaos in Chang'an is together, we can escort Prince Qin to send troops to the State of Qin. At this time, it is really not suitable to use troops against Goguryeo."
The two important ministers said so, and Lu Qiang could not be arbitrary, but he was really unwilling to know that he wanted to destroy Goguryeo by dispatching 100,000 troops this time.
turned his head to look at Liu's daughter and said, "You have heard the words of the two adults. What do you think?"
Liu's daughter smiled indifferently and said, "I fully agree with the opinions of the two adults, but I don't think it is necessary to send troops to Goguryeo to achieve the goal."
"Oh! Will it be settled?"
After listening to Liu's words, Lu Qiang, Wang Zhenwei and Han Yanzhi came to the spirit.
"There are many small islands along the coast of Goguryeo and Baekje, and some secret islands are also home to many pirates. Between the white mountains and black waters north of Liaodong, there are also many bandits coming and going on the land bordering Goguryeo."
Liu Sinu closed her mouth again when she said this, but although she didn't say everything, Lu Qiang and others understood.
If Yan Yanzhi is here, he will definitely refute Liu Sinu's idea, but Wang Zhenwei is different from Han Yanzhi. They pay more attention to those real things.
Wang Zhenwei first clapped his hands and laughed, "Lord Liu's idea is wonderful. Those people don't have the mark of our dynasty. Who dares say that we support them behind their backs? And with the existence of these people, Gao Tande can no longer sleep peacefully."
Han Yanzhi took a deep look at Liu Sinu, and now he finally understands why so many people are afraid of this white young man. I'm afraid this boy has never been unreasonable.
Then Wang Zhen's evil words said: "I am adding two points. First of all, we accept Goguryeo to become a vassal state, but as long as their princes are not enough, they must return all the land of Baekje. At the same time, the number of troops should also be strictly limited. In addition, we must make war compensation. In other words, we must find a way to pay for it out. Empty their treasury, making them seriously dependent on the Central Plains"
Lu Qiang also laughed. Why does Han Yanzhi's idea sound so familiar? But it's really good. He smiled at Liu Sinu and said, "Be careful. It's a big crime to resell military assets. Let those officials know that I have to talk more."
Sun Hu, who has never spoken, interrupted, "Your Majesty, Lord Liu hasn't put any money at home. Besides, those ordnances are left in the warehouse, so it's better to exchange them for some real gold and silver, hehe! It's just that Lord Liu's offer is indeed higher."
Sun Hu once served in the household department. Of course, he knows how much gold and silver are useful to the court.
Liu Sinu listened to the praise of the ministers and always kept a smile on her face. He knew very well that no matter what he did, these ministers would not care about him, and he also did not pay attention to these ministers. For him, as long as Lu Qiang was satisfied, it was his greatest achievement.
"Your Majesty, you should see Juqu Mengxun and baldness"
Lu Qiang nodded. Beiliang, Nanliang and Xiliang are almost connected, and these places are in the west of Qin. As long as they provoke trouble first and there are Yao Xing's princes on Chang'an's side, he can send troops.
At this time, a nearby servant reported that the Goryeo messenger went to find Liu's daughter.
The general direction has been finalized, and Liu Sinu immediately said goodbye to Lu Qiang and the ministers and returned to her tent to fool the Goryeo messengers.
Lu Qiang is also satisfied and eager to summon Juqu Mengxun and bald Yan Tan, because tomorrow is the right day of this alliance. On this day, there will be a drill of the Jin army. Only when these grassland people really see the power of the Jin army will they be obedient.
After discussing for a while, Han Yanzhi and Sun Hu left one after another, and only Wang Zhenvil stayed.
"Your Majesty, do you have something to say?"
Lu Qiang didn't know what Wang Zhen wanted to say. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Is there anything else we can't say between us?"
"I actually want to talk to your majesty about Lord Liu," Wang Zhen said with a serious expression.
"Oh! What's wrong with him?"
"Lord Liu's loyalty to His Majesty is unquestionable, but his character is too deep and easy to go to extremes, which is not conducive to him becoming an official in the court in the future!"
Wang Zhenwei is the elder of Jiangling, and Liu Sinu was the first person to follow Lu Qiang, so Wang Zhenwei naturally regarded Liu Sinu as a member of his faction. Although Lu Qiang did not allow him to form a party, although these officials were satisfied with the formation of a party for personal gain, they would always unconsciously favor each other.
Lu Qiang did not think deeply, but Wang Zhen's evil words also reminded him that after such a long time of training, Liu Sinu was becoming more and more mature in dealing with things, but he was born to be a person standing in the dark and could not be changed anyway.
If Liu Sinu is promoted to an important position in the imperial court, I'm afraid that open knives and arrows will go at him, and even if he defends him, I'm afraid he will inevitably be tricked in the end, so it is best for him to stay in the dark.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiang should not sigh slightly. In fact, he has a better idea of how to protect Liu Sinu, but the time has not yet come, and he can't say it.
He waved his hand to let Wang Zhen retreat viciously and ordered someone to tell Liu Sinu to come to him after sending away the Goguryeo messenger.
With Liu Sinu's wrist, it was easy to deal with Gao Wu and Moutou Lou, but these two people still had to report to Gao Tande, so after receiving their heavy gifts, Liu Sinu kicked them out.
Hearing Lu Qiang's move, Liu Sinu immediately rushed over.
After the waiter went down, Lu Qiang waved to let Liu Sinu sit next to him, and said with a slightly serious expression, "There is something that has been in my heart for a long time. I wanted to tell you in a few years, but I just sat there and suddenly felt that it was necessary to tell you first, so that you won't be unprepared in the future."
In Liu Si's doubtful eyes, Lu Qiang said slowly: "I'm going to pick up your in-laws"
"Ah..."
Liu Si's daughter was stunned at first, and then tears fell down...
