Chapter 88 Winning over Cheng Chuliang
"Brother Cheng, aren't you afraid today?"
After the various groups set off, Li Xiang and Cheng Chuliang were in a group.
"Your Highness, if the sky falls, there will be someone big to hold it up. It won't be my turn to worry about this issue at any time. What's more, what your Highness did should have figured out the emperor's thoughts."
Cheng Chuliang looked simple and honest, but when he said this, Li Xiang also looked at this guy with interest. On the surface, his old Cheng family was full of meat, but they were all very scheming people. Otherwise, what would happen to Cheng Yaojin? Could he be a veteran of three dynasties?
"What do you say? None of what we do tonight is in compliance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Can the emperor support me?"
Li Xiang pinched the horse's belly, and the speed was a little faster. They were the last ones to set off. They would have to attack in four directions later to reduce casualties. The people inside were no joke. Tuyuhun himself was on horseback. As a nation, they have been practicing bowing, horse riding, and shooting since they were young, so it will definitely be a fierce battle later.
"The emperor has been dissatisfied with Tuyuhun for a long time, but he has never been able to find an opportunity. Our emperor is the only emperor in the ages, and he tolerates these foreigners on the surface. But at that time, our strength was not strong enough. Now we have strong troops and horses. Are they allowed to cause trouble in Chang'an City? Your Highness's reason is a good idea."
After Cheng Chuliang finished speaking, Li Xiang was really impressed. He could understand this because he knew the direction of history. In the next few decades, the Tang Dynasty was at war with Tuyuhun, and finally gave up the country. But Cheng Chuliang could understand this. This was definitely their man's brain.
"Second Brother Cheng, do you have any errands to do now?"
Li Xiang knew that Cheng Chuliang was the second son, and even if Cheng Yaojin had the resources, he would have to stay close to his boss Cheng Chumo.
"A young general from the patrol camp outside the city made His Highness laugh."
Cheng Chuliang's eyes were shining. Although he had received certain benefits just now, for a bureaucrat like him, those benefits were really nothing. Now Li Xiang is developing at the peak of his power. If he can rely on it, , it is definitely good for him. Everything is prepared when the eldest brother is born. Whatever status Cheng Yaojin can achieve, his eldest brother can achieve, but everything about Cheng Chuliang needs to be fought for by himself.
"The Imperial City Division has just been established and needs a guard commander, but the level may not be as high as that of Brother Cheng's general."
Li Xiang himself is a fifth-rank official, and the general is already from the fifth rank. If he is transferred from the fifth rank, Li Xiang really can't arrange it. He only has a sixth-rank guard commander, and he can only transfer these three hundred men. people.
"Thank you for the promotion, Your Highness."
At present, Cheng Chuliang has passed the job interview. Although it is just a few simple questions, it also depends on this guy's background. If Cheng Yaojin can be a veteran of three dynasties, can the power under his hands be inferior? Although Cheng Chuliang is only the second son, but then again, why would the eldest son come to you? Such a big family has to walk on several legs and will never support one person.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the Tuyuhun Guild Hall. Originally, this place was given by the emperor. Later, because more and more businessmen came to Tuyuhun, they bought all the surrounding houses. The country is over, and whenever night falls, the people in Chang'an City don't want to come here. The gang of Tuyuhun get drunk and fight everywhere, even daring to fight the soldiers on night watch.
The court had stopped them several times before, but the crimes they committed were not punishable by death and could be released in two days, so these people became more and more lawless.
Furthermore, the imperial court's policy was too lenient towards the surrounding barbarians. This was also a remnant of the early years of Zhenguan. At that time, Li Shimin focused all his attention on the Turks and adopted a tolerant policy towards other countries. In the past ten years, In the past, they also became more and more arrogant.
"Why isn't there even a sentry this night?"
When Li Xiang dismounted, he also looked at the door in front. Except for two lanterns, there was no one around. This was a bit too reassuring.
"Your Highness, you don't know. These guys have been safe in Chang'an City for more than ten years. In addition, the security of Chang'an City itself is also good, so they have never taken it seriously. They are taking advantage of us today."
Li Xiang didn't know much about the situation here, but Cheng Chuliang once led people to patrol here, so he knew what was going on. It would be good if these barbarians didn't come out to bully others. How could there be Han people bullying them? Well, you must know that they all have weapons in their hands, and they will draw their swords if they disagree.
Under normal circumstances, they could survive in this state, but they just assassinated Li Xiang without any preparation. You deserve to be unlucky today.
"Are all the parts here?"
What surprised Cheng Chuliang was that Li Xiang did not ask his messenger to check, but instead asked the guard Li San beside him.
Li San did not go around to check, but just nodded firmly. The people redeemed in the system are also telepathic within a certain distance, and they can also spread news. Li Xiang once did an experiment. There is no problem within 100 meters. If it exceeds 500 meters, the probability of successful transmission will decrease. Now it is obvious that it does not exceed 500 meters.
"Get ready to take action."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, everyone present took out a piece of black cloth from their waists and slowly covered their faces. Today's matter cannot reveal our whereabouts, so we can only cover our faces. Face acted.
Cheng Chuliang was right. The emperor had long had enough patience with the country of Tuyuhun. This country had always been duplicitous. On the surface, it surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but secretly it was still an independent country and would not allow the Tang Dynasty to carry out any substantive actions.
Li Shimin has wanted to cause trouble for them for a long time, so this time Li Xiang mobilized troops on a large scale, and Li Shimin didn't even care. We are just waiting for you Tuyuhun to make trouble. I will destroy your guild hall tonight. If you do it tomorrow If you raise an army, I will directly send troops to destroy you.
Your strength is far behind that of the Turks, and the strength of the Tang Dynasty has increased many times. It happens that it has not used foreign troops for many years. It would be good to train your soldiers to prevent their weapons from growing hairy... …
