My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Gaining psychological satisfaction from Su Mo\'er\'s envious eyes, Cui Yingying called the Zheng sisters over, the four women chattered non-stop, and Li Yin suddenly became a redundant person, so she arranged the location of the sofa Then he retreated decisively.

  After coming out of the palace, Li Yin took a few guards to Murong Shun\'s mansion under house arrest. He didn\'t intend to pay any attention to Murong Fuyun. If there were no accidents, he might die of old age in Chang\'an.

The courtyard where Murong Shun was placed under house arrest was not far from where Wang Gui lived, only a distance away. This hotel is very simple, and it is a place where visiting officials temporarily live. There is a main hall and four side rooms inside. There were hundreds of soldiers in plate armor guarding the outside of the Shixing Pavilion, and they surrounded the entire pavilion inside and out. He was not afraid that Murong Shun would escape, but that he was worried about Tuyuhun\'s assassination. The easiest way to solve it is to assassinate him, King Zun and King Tianzhu must also understand this truth.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Li Yin, all the soldiers saluted Li Yin. They are all soldiers of the Central Army, and they are Li Yin\'s direct troops. They also spent a month with Li Yin in Songzhou day and night. Not unfamiliar.

Li Yin returned a military salute and entered the hotel through the main entrance. At this time, Murong Shun was wandering back and forth in the yard, as if he was thinking about something. awe. He bowed respectfully to Li Min. He had learned how to deal with these nobles of the Tang Dynasty during these years as a proton in the Tang Dynasty.

   "Murong Shun pays homage to Your Highness!"

   "Exemption!" Li Yin kindly gave him a hand, "Since you have agreed to His Majesty\'s proposal, it means that you have formed a brotherly alliance with Datang, so why pay attention to these things!"

  Murong Shun\'s expression was gloomy, and he knew that Li Yin must have learned from Wang Gui that he had agreed to Li Shimin\'s proposal, so he said, "Murong Shun has lived in the Tang Dynasty for several years, and this etiquette cannot be abolished."

   Murong Shun insisted on saluting, but Li Yin had no choice but to accept it. He said: "I know about the fact that the famous king was a hostage in the Tang Dynasty, but I didn\'t expect that it was Murong Fuyun who actually re-appointed the crown prince. It is said that this was instigated by King Tianzhu."

Li Yin\'s words were intended to arouse Murong Shun\'s anger towards King Zun. Hearing this, Murong Shun said, "Hey, if King Zun and King Tianzhu hadn\'t conspired, Father Khan wouldn\'t have abolished my crown prince. We will not raise troops to attack Songzhou and cause such a catastrophe.”

   "Since this is the case, there will be many dangers when King Ming goes back. King Zun and King Tianzhu must not be good for you." Taking the opportunity, Li Yin got to the point.

  Hearing this, Murong Shun frowned, although Li Shimin promised to give him troops. But there will not be too many soldiers, and after he takes the throne, these people will definitely return to the Tang Dynasty, and after that, he will still have to face the rebellious forces within Tuyuhun, but how else can he choose other than this path. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back. Thinking of this, he sighed deeply. "Although Your Majesty said to lend me soldiers and horses, it is not a long-term solution. After I go back, I will definitely be in bad luck."

Historically, Li Shimin had indeed lent troops to Murong Shun to seize the throne, but after the Tang Dynasty troops withdrew, Murong Shun was killed by generals who disobeyed the rule within a few months, so what Murong Shun really needed was a Only with one\'s own strength can one truly gain a foothold in Tuyuhun.

  Li Yin was waiting for Murong Shun when he was in despair, he said: "This king has a way to make Ming Wang a stable Khan in Tuyuhun, I wonder if Ming Wang is willing to listen?"

  Murong Shun\'s eyes widened, besides Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, he believed that the other person who could help him was the sixth prince with great powers. He said: "Your Highness, please tell me!"

   "The soldiers and horses lent by the emperor to the famous king are enough to seize the throne, but is the stability of the throne what the famous king is really worried about?"

   "Exactly!" Li Yin pointed it out, and Murong Shun said.

Li Yin continued with a smile: "To stabilize the throne, you need a team loyal to the famous king, but no soldiers are willing to follow anywhere without money and food. The emperor borrowed your troops to seize the throne, and this king is willing to lend you money and food." Stabilize the country."

Murong Shun was overjoyed at first, but the joyful expression on his face disappeared quickly, because he knew that Li Yin would not be so generous in sponsoring him to seize the throne, and there must be some kind of purpose behind this kind of support, he said: "Your Highness, Murong Shun Already a prisoner, His Highness may wish to speak directly if he has something to say."

   "Okay! Have fun!" Li Yin said bluntly, "What you want is the throne, what this king wants is a slave, and slaves change the throne. How do you feel about this business of Murong Mingwang?"

   "Your Highness needs servants?" Murong Shun asked doubtfully.

"That\'s right, this king\'s fiefdom is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more land needs to be reclaimed, so he needs a lot of slaves, and when King Murong Ming fights with King Zun, he must defeat the tribe that supports King Zun, and according to your rules , these defeated tribes will become the slaves of the victors, and this king needs these, of course, the Tang slaves you looted from the Tang Dynasty are my priority, because I don\'t want to see them suffer in Tuyuhun." Li Yin looked into Murong Shun\'s eyes and said.

  Murong Shun is not a fool, these days wars rely on people, and the decreasing population of Tuyuhun is definitely not a good thing for Tuyuhun, even if those who become slaves are still in the land of Tuyuhun, it is different from the Tang Dynasty.

Murong Shun hesitated and remained silent. Li Yin sneered and said, "Master Murong, don\'t think too far ahead. If you don\'t have the throne, you are nothing. Sometimes people still have to look at the front and the future." Who can tell?"

  Li Yin\'s words were like pouring cold water on Murong Shun\'s head, and he suddenly came to his senses. As Li Yin said, without the throne, his life would not be guaranteed, so how could he manage those Tuyuhun tribes?

   "It\'s just, how much does Your Highness want? Your Highness must give me an amount." Murong said smoothly.

   "As I said, I want all the Tang slaves from Tuyuhun and the captive tribal slaves." Li Yin said.

  Murong Shun said again: "Then how much food can His Highness give me?"

   "A lot, you will understand in two days." The artificial gemstones will take a few more days, so Li Yin can only procrastinate, "So you have unified the deal?"

   "Do I still have a choice?" Murong Shun smiled wryly, and he continued: "It\'s just that Your Highness is not afraid that I will lie about the number of slaves?"

  Li Yan chuckled twice, "Then the king will have to take the Yizhou army to the Tuyuhun royal court in person."

  As soon as these words came out, Murong Shun\'s face suddenly turned pale, and a sense of powerlessness spread in his heart. In any case, Tuyuhun could only be reduced to Tang\'s vassal.

   "But as long as you are willing to obey, I promise you that if Tuyuhun is in trouble, I can send troops to help." Li Yin stuffed another sweet date for Murong Shun.

   His face softened a little, Murong Shun cupped his hands and said: "Then thank you, Your Highness."

   After the matter was settled, Li Yin stood up and walked out, shaking his hands, "The king will come to visit the famous king again in another day."

  Leaving the mansion, Rong Da who followed said: "Why does Your Highness spend money to sell slaves? Just break through Tuyuhun and capture its people."

Li Yin smiled softly and said: "Tuyuhun is between Tubo and Tang Dynasty, and it is a natural barrier for war. If Tuyuhun is really going to be wiped out, Tubo\'s army will occupy all of its territory, and then it will threaten the trade routes between Tang and Persia. It will continue to harass the border of the Tang Dynasty, it is really not cost-effective to drive away the wolves and attract the tigers, it is better to support a puppet prince to guard that piece of land for the Tang Dynasty."

  Rong Da still didn\'t understand, and said: "Then we can destroy Tubo again."

"The Tubo people live in a very high place, and they can retreat to the plateau if they can\'t fight, but our soldiers can\'t adapt to the plateau climate. A long-term battle with the Tubo army in that place will cause a lot of casualties, and the place is very vast. , and it is a place of bitter cold, even if we are defeated, how can we occupy and control it? Besides, there is Tuyuhun fighting for us, so why should we fight in person.” All the wars between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo suffered from the plateau climate, because basically They are all passive defenses, and it is impossible to attack the plateau at all, because after reaching the plateau, the altitude sickness can make many soldiers lie down without the Tubo people attacking.

Li Yin\'s current policy towards Tubo is that if you come down from the plateau to find trouble, I will beat you back, but he doesn\'t want to go to such great lengths to attack Tubo. Land is of no use to Li Yin, and it is not worthwhile to win, and even in modern times there are many autonomous regions, why self-government? Because it is difficult to govern, it is not a simple matter for one nation to rule another nation. This is why the invaders in history almost did the same thing, using the aborigines to rule the aborigines. least risk.

However, Li Yin\'s reluctance to attack does not mean that he will let Tubo bully him. This is why Li Yin promised Murong Shun that he would help him when he was in trouble, because no one except Tubo would use troops against Tuyuhun. The local government was at war with Tubo, but Li Min was not afraid of Tubo.

  Rongda was still confused, unable to understand what a plateau climate is, but he believed that what Li Yin said was right, because at least Yizhou is now thriving according to Li Yin\'s plan, a scene of prosperity. (To be continued..)
