BXBX NOVEL Chapter 124: Grind some pretty
"Batur, isn\'t this the Wei\'s Restaurant? We\'ve finally arrived in Yizhou, haha, let\'s go in and eat!" The man who spoke was nearly two meters tall, with a thick back and a hunchback, with bulging muscles on his half-exposed arms. He looked at the signboard of the Weijia Restaurant in the shop and laughed.
The man on one side is relatively thinner, but he is naked in the air. He snorted coldly, "Eat? Have you brought any money?"
"Money? Batur, have you forgotten? The high authority said that we don\'t need to spend money to eat in this restaurant, and we can eat as much as we want?" The man scratched the back of his head and said.
Batur looked around and entered a secluded alley, and the tall man followed in doubt, Batur said: "Zaksu, how many times have I told you to pay attention to observation, good hunters have more than just brute force, You still need keen insight, don\'t you see that Yizhou City is different from before?"
"Are you talking about the guards at the gate of the city?" Zaksu recalled, as if thinking of something, "It\'s true, when we came here before, they would take us to meet Gao Quan, but this time they didn\'t seem to see us. We are the same."
While Zaksu was talking, a man dressed as an ordinary person came from the other end of the alley. Batur\'s eyes flashed fiercely. He walked quickly and locked his neck with one hand. At this moment, Zaksu also He walked over and sandwiched the common people. From the outside, there was no one between the two of them.
"I\'m asking you, don\'t shout, or your neck will be broken." Batur said fiercely, with a little force in his hand, the people\'s faces flushed immediately, their eyes filled with fear, and they nodded repeatedly.
"Is your high-powered governor of Yizhou City still in Yizhou?" Batuer asked.
The young man caught by Batur was a street rascal who was idle on weekdays. Although he was not doing his job properly, he was a well-informed figure. From the way these two men were dressed, it could be seen that they were barbarians from the south. There are many legends about the cruelty of the barbarians in Yizhou, "Gao Cishi rebelled and was killed by the king of Shu, and now the owner of Yizhou is the king of Shu."
Batur and Zaksu looked at each other, and Zaksu asked, "Who is the King of Shu?"
"I heard that he is the sixth son of His Majesty today, please forgive me, little one..." Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, Batur crushed his throat.
"It\'s no wonder the high authority didn\'t donate food and money to the king last year. Let\'s go back and tell the king about it." Batur said in a deep voice.
Zha Kesu stomped on the fallen corpse a few times, "It\'s still a waste of time, if Gao Quan is dead, just go find that **** king of Shu, and let him make offerings to the king every year, or let him He will try to grind some wild elephant soldiers!"
Batur is recognized as a wise man in the tribe, he glared at Zaksu, "What do you know, this prince is the son of Emperor Datang, if you ask him for food, will Emperor Datang not know?"
The Moximan tribe is located near Juzhou in Shu, with a population of 60,000. After Li Shimin wiped out the Communist Party, Moximan ostensibly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but still often caused chaos in Juzhou, making the soldiers of Juzhou government miserable. But at this time, Li Shimin didn\'t pay much attention to these barbarians. He only regarded the barbarians as barbaric and ignorant. Instead of taking large-scale conquests against the barbarians, he focused his energy on the north. Invaded Yizhou, even broke through Yizhou City, burned, burned, looted, and plundered a large number of craftsmen and people in Yizhou City, but Datang did nothing to them.
"So what can I do if I know? Just relying on those soldiers in the prefecture is not enough for me, and I don\'t know what you and the king think. Why do you want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty? It’s easy to get money in the bag, why do you have to fight Meng Shezhao?” Zhakesu complained.
Batur ignored his complaints, and said: "Let\'s not talk about this for now, we will go out of the city and go back to the tribe now, and it will take a lot of trouble for the soldiers of the Tang people to find out."
The two returned to Wei\'s restaurant while talking, untied the horse tied aside, and rode away from Yizhou City. After leaving Yizhou for a certain distance, Batur heaved a sigh of relief, and he said: "You think me and the king Is the attack on Mengshezhao just because of tribal hatred? Do you still remember the woman who came to the tribe three years ago?"
"Of course I remember, a woman who looks like a monster." Zaksu couldn\'t help shivering when he thought about it.
Zaksu is known as the number one warrior in the tribe, but he is simple-minded, always going straight and doing things according to his nature. This time he came to Yizhou to grind some barbarian kings before letting Batur follow him, for fear that he would kill someone in a fit of rage and get into trouble. Shaking his head, Batur said: "That woman is not simple, she promised to provide the tribe with 10,000 pieces of weapons and a lot of money every year, and she also advised the king to unify the southern barbarians first, and then plan Yizhou. This is the life of the king. Volunteer, with these weapons, we can grind some barbarians like a tiger even more powerful, so we can\'t fight with Tang Dynasty now, and Yizhou will not be in our pocket when Mengshezhao is recovered."
Zaksu nodded half-understanding.
In Yizhou City, after Zaksu and Batur left, a scream sounded in the alley. After a while, Marquis Wu of Yizhou found the people killed by Batur, and Sima Dou Xiande drove away Coming over, Dou Xiande frowned as he looked at the people whose Adam\'s apple had been smashed. He hadn\'t been in office for a few days, and this happened in Yizhou City. It was like slapping him.
"Have you found any witnesses?" Dou Xiande asked.
A Marquis Wu said: "I tell Sima, it is said that I have seen two strangely dressed people come here..." He described the images of the two of them.
After listening to Marquis Wu\'s description, Dou Xiande frowned, and said in his mouth: "Barbarian?" Thinking of the matter of high power, Dou Xiande immediately drove his horse to the governor\'s office. This matter must be told to Shangguanyi .
After Shangguanyi learned of this incident, her face became gloomy. Everyone in the officialdom knew that Gao Quan had tried to collude with some Man to attack Yizhou. It\'s not a good omen after all that some mans appeared in Zhoucheng and killed people.
"Barbarians?" After Shangguanyi told Li Yin about the barbarians, Li Yin\'s face darkened, "Although this does not mean that the two barbarians are related to high power, we should strengthen the defense of Yizhou City just in case. And let the government soldiers conduct daily patrols to the south of Yizhou."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Qin Huaiyu responded, and said again: "It\'s just Your Highness, why don\'t you go up to your Majesty to conquer these barbarians, they are always a threat to Yizhou."
Shangguan Yi said: "Yizhou\'s government soldiers have more than enough defense, not enough to attack, and the barbarians are now surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and they are also the people of the Tang Dynasty. How can they fight because of a word of high authority? I will not agree, not to mention that no one has any evidence to say that this person was killed by a barbarian, and even if he was killed by a barbarian, it is not necessarily a reckless effort, so it is an unknown teacher!"
Li Yin nodded, "Shangguanyi is right. The Tang Dynasty is already tired of fighting against the Turks, and there is still an army to deal with the barbarians. This can be seen from the Zhechong Mansion in Shu. There are a total of 636 Zhechong mansions in various places, most of which are in the north, and there is basically only one Zhechong mansion in a state in Shu, and the combined strength of the entire Shu region is less than 10,000, and most of the troops are less than 10,000. Concentrate in Songzhou and Mianzhou to defend against Tuyuhun, and there are only 800 soldiers in places like Xunzhou, which is close to the barbarian land, so you only need to be prepared."
Qin Huaiyu listened, shook his head and answered yes, he thought he could finally have a battle to fight.
Seeing Qin Huaiyu\'s slumped look, Shangguanyi hesitated for a moment and said to Li Yin: "Your Highness, I don\'t know if I should say something or not?"
Li Yin took a sip from a glass of water, and said, "But it\'s okay, we\'re all from our own family."
Shangguan Yi said: "If this barbarian attacks Yizhou, isn\'t it a good thing?"
"How do you say that?" A gleam flashed in Li Yin\'s eyes, and he looked at Shang Guanyi, while Qin Huaiyu looked at Shang Guanyi puzzledly, waiting for his next words.
"Your Highness is currently only the governor of Yizhou, governing the land of Yizhou, but Li Ke, the third prince, was also the governor of Yizhou, but the scope of his fief jurisdiction is all the counties in the entire Shu region. The reason for this is because His Royal Highness In the name of treason, His Majesty had to do this in order to silence the people, but if the barbarians attacked Shu, then His Majesty could take the opportunity to claim the post of Governor of Yizhou, and lead Yizhou soldiers and horses to conquer the barbarians. When the time comes, His Highness will make great achievements, which will be enough to silence the mouths of all the ministers, and the land of Shu is not all His Highness\'s fief!" Shangguan Yi said excitedly.
After Shangguanyi finished speaking, Qin Huaiyu patted Shangguanyi\'s shoulder heavily, and praised: "Shangguan Inspector is worthy of being a scholar, this idea is more."
Shangguanyi\'s idea is also Li Yin\'s idea. Sitting in Yizhou and looking at Shu, he is very itchy in his heart, and as long as he owns the whole Bashu, he can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. At that time, the gate of Shu will be closed Once closed, who can come in.
This idea is good, but Li Yin also has his own ideas, Li Yin said: "Why don\'t I want to do this, but barbarians are not stupid, and they will not rashly start a war with Datang. We don\'t know that it will be the year of the ox, we can still Try something else."
"Any other way?" Shangguanyi and Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Yin puzzled and said, "Please tell me clearly, Your Highness!"
Li Yin smiled confidently, "This method is more secure. It is the winter wheat we plant. As long as the father understands that only I can turn Bashu into the Tang Dynasty\'s granary, the land of Shu is not in my pocket. If this Strategies don’t work, let’s make plans on Nanman again!”
