Cui Hao also said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates do not recommend leaving the imperial court and standing on their own!"

"Why? Now that the imperial government's decree can't go out of the Gyeonggi area, Tuoba Jun is no longer respected everywhere. This king has separated from the imperial court to stand on his own. What can the imperial court do with me?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

Cui Hao smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know that Wei Wudi Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes? Although the power of the imperial court has declined and government orders can't go out of the capital, after all, there is still a righteous name. If I, Youzhou, break away from the imperial court and stand on my own, For the imperial court, it is a rebellion. Although the imperial court does not have the strength to send troops to attack our Youzhou, but it can use Youzhou as a bait, so that the princes from all over the country will attack it together. At that time, our Youzhou will face the attack of many princes , two fists are no match for four hands! Does your lord know how Yuan Shu died?"

Zhao Junsheng nodded. Of course he knew that among the feudal lords at the end of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu was the first to proclaim himself emperor, so he attracted the siege of all the feudal lords.

"Okay, since several gentlemen said that it is not possible to separate from the imperial court and become self-reliant for the time being, this king will temporarily maintain the relationship with the imperial court!"

Cui Hao said again: "Gao Xiu, general of Wuchuan town, was your subordinate before, right? Does he still have loyalty to you? If he had to choose between the imperial court and the prince, is the prince sure that he will choose you?" Allegiance?"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "You're right, Gao Xiu is my king's man, and he still wants to listen to my king's words. If Cui Gong has something to say, he can say it directly, without beating around the bush!"

"Subordinates must make sure that you have control over Gao Xiu before they can put forward their own suggestions and ideas. Since the prince can confirm that Gao Xiu is loyal to you, then I suggest that you take down Shanggu and connect Youzhou and Wuchuan. In this way , From Liaodong to Wuchuan, the vast land between the inner and outer Great Wall is controlled by the prince, which is double the territory controlled by the prince now!"

Hearing this, Zhao Junsheng got up and walked quickly to the map beside the wall. Looking around, he saw that Shanggu separated Youzhou from Wuchuan, which was controlled by Zhao Junsheng. The conquest of Chile in the eastern part of the north can connect Youzhou and Wuchuan into one piece, and the territory is more than doubled. You must know that the boundary line between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran is not the line of the Outer Great Wall, but hundreds of miles north of the Outer Great Wall. beyond the borders of the desert.

"Mister's words are wonderful!" Zhao Junsheng turned around and said excitedly, but he hadn't thought of this before, but he frowned again: "Now we can't openly tear ourselves apart from the imperial court, how can we make it right? Do you have the place of Shanggu in your hands?"

All the officials and generals in the hall were very puzzled, yes, just now Cui Hao and Dongfang Chen said that they can't openly break the face with the court for the time being, but if they want to hold Shanggu in their hands, is there any other way?

I only heard Cui Hao say: "I remember that the prefect of the valley seems to be Luo Yan, the prince might as well station troops on the border, first use force to deter him, and then send eloquent lobbyists to Shanggu to meet Luo Yan and force him to be loyal to the king! "

Zhao Junsheng was taken aback, is this okay?Asked: "Will he agree?"

Cui Hao asked back: "Does he dare not agree? If he doesn't agree, the prince has a lot of ways to deal with him. For example, a group of bandits fled to the valley, and our Youzhou army sent troops to chase them into the upper valley. By the time he found out, it would be too late. Don't worry, my lord, Luo Yan is a person who understands current affairs, and he won't fail to see the situation and go against the lord!"

"Boom!" Zhao Junsheng slapped the table and shouted, "Okay! Where is Chang Kun?"

Chang Kun stood up and clasped his fists and agreed: "I order you to lead the five thousand horses to enter Juyongguan, and I will drag you out for a walk from time to time to scare Luo Yan.

! ”

"Obey!" Chang Kun clasped his fists in agreement and stepped aside.

Zhao Junsheng looked among the civil servants, and his eyes fell on Zhonglang Li Ji, "Li Ji, you can speak eloquently. The king wants you to go to Shanggu and Dongfang Chile to meet Luo Yan and Dongfang respectively. What do you think, Baluotu, the leader of Chile?"

Li Ji stood up, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Thanks to the trust of the prince, my subordinates will go through fire and water, and they will die!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded in satisfaction, "You can ask for anything!"

Li Ji said: "To deal with Luo Yan, my subordinates think that Luo Yan will definitely compromise immediately as long as there is deterrence; as for Ba Luotu, my subordinates think that we should focus on bribery and supplement by deterrence, so I ask the prince to allocate more gold and money. Give the treasure to your subordinates!"

Zhao Junsheng told Pei Jin: "Master Pei, prepare two thousand gold for Li Zhonglang and let him take it away!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Not long after Changkun's 5000 troops set off, Li Ji held up his scepter and brought his entourage and guards to Shanggu Juyang City.

Luo Yan, the prefect of Shanggu, had already received the news of the increase of troops at Juyongguan, and there were five thousand more soldiers at once, which was more than the entire army of Shanggu. Luo Yan was so scared that he wanted to report to the court, but he could Knowing that the imperial court may not have the ability to uphold justice for him now.

When the news that Youzhou sent an envoy was sent to Luo Yan, Luo Yan knew that the meat show was coming.

"Oh my god, Li Zhonglang's arrival really brought honor to Shanggu, please come to the city and discuss it in detail!" Luo Yan personally led the officials and academies out of the city to greet him.

Li Ji got down from the carriage and came to Luo Yan and cupped his hands: "The General Zhengdong, the governor of Youliao military forces, the governor of Youzhou, and the middle man under Zhao Wang's tent in Liaodong. !"

After a polite exchange, they took a carriage into the city and headed for the prefect's mansion.

In the carriage, Luo Yan was really confused, and couldn't help but ask, "Li Zhonglang, I wonder what orders the King of Liaodong sent Zhonglang to Shanggu?"

Li Ji said with a smile: "Without him, my lord has heard about the reputation of Mr. Luo for a long time, and knows the official reputation, talent and character of Mr. Luo, so he is thirsty for talents. He wants to invite Mr. Luo to stay in Ji County for a few days. Once you hear Fujun's high-level remarks on governing the country, I don't know what the Fujun thinks?"

Luo Yan's face turned pale with fright, going to Ji County?I'm afraid there will be no return, right?Where did he rush to, and hurriedly said: "I don't want to have such a lowly name in the ears of the king of Liaodong. The lower officials are flattered and terrified. It's just that there are too many official affairs in the government office, I'm afraid I won't be able to find time... "..."

Li Jidao: "Otherwise, after a few days, my lord would not be able to keep the lord in Ji County forever, but just a few days. Could it be that the lord doesn't even give my lord this little face?"

"This..." Luo Yan felt bitter in his heart.

Li Ji continued to persecute: "Don't you know that my prince's anger is very scary, Gao Lian, the king of Goguryeo, you know that? He killed Biejia Dengtong, who was sent by my prince. As a result, my prince was furious and sent troops to attack Goguryeo. There are millions of dead bodies, Goguryeo destroyed the country, its king, members of the royal family, and civil and military ministers all surrendered and were captured, and all of them were killed in a landslide on the way to escort Youzhou, that is a tragedy!"

Luo Yan was trembling in his heart, damn it, a landslide?Thanks to your ability to speak, do you think the outside world will believe your nonsense explanation?Luo Yan also knew it, so what if he didn't believe it?Who dares to check it?

Luo Yan knew very well that if he didn't go, he would die a miserable death. Although he was the prefect of a county, his strength was not one-tenth of Zhao Junsheng's. Zhao Junsheng could crush him with a single finger. kill him!

"This...well, I will go to pay a visit to Prince Zhao, and then I will ask Li Zhonglang to say a few nice words to the prince in front of the prince!" Luo Yan was afraid and compromised.

Li Ji didn't expect Luo Yan to be so unintimidated, and even before he reached the prefect's mansion, Luo Yan was so frightened that he agreed.

The next thing is simple. Li Ji lived in Juyang City for two days. When Luo Yan went to Ji County, he sent two people to be guides and escorts to monitor, and he himself took the rest of the guards to go north. Cross the Great Wall and go to Chile in the east.

The Eastern Chile people lived in a vast area, but their khan tents were located in the upper reaches of the Runshui, and their range of pastures and activities ranged hundreds of miles away.

The Chile people in the east did not live in the upper reaches of Rushui for a very long time. People are also high car people.

The Eastern Chile people are composed of various tribes, with a total of 10,000+ people. The leader of the tribal alliance is called Ba Luotu.

Ba Luotu is already over 50 years old, and his appearance is a bit old, but this does not prevent him from riding a horse and archery. This man was also a warrior when he was young, otherwise he would not be recognized by all tribes as the leader.

"Li Ji, the Zhonglang under the Liaodong king's tent, has seen the leader of Baluotu!" Led by a Gaoche man, Li Ji approached the sweat tent and saluted Baluotu, saying neither humble nor overbearing.

Ba Luo suddenly looked at Li Ji, "I don't know what advice Li Zhonglang has when he comes to the Khan court of this Khan?"

Li Ji didn't answer, but asked: "Does the leader know that you and the noble tribe are in a bad situation?"

Baluo frowned suddenly: "What do you mean by this? Are you scaring Ben Khan?"

This guy is just a small leader, and he even called himself Khan. Li Ji laughed in his heart that he was overestimated, and he said: "No way! The south of the territory where you and your tribes are located is Shanggu and Youzhou, and Shanggu is now It is also under the control of my prince. To the west of you is Wuchuan Town. Gao Xiu, the general of Wuchuan town, is also an old general of my prince. It is said that Kumoxi in the east has a bad relationship with you, and the people of Rouran in the north are yours. Enemy, if you offend my lord, do you still think I am trying to scare you?"

Sweat beaded faintly on Ba Luotu's forehead, his lips were a little dry, he took a sip of mare's milk, and asked in an interfering voice, "Li Zhonglang, tell me why you came!"

"Now that the court is in decline, I feel that you need to find a new master to serve as your allegiance. I think my prince is good. What do you think?"

Chapter 595 Centralization (1)

Submitting to the Northern Wei Dynasty is completely different from submitting to a local force in terms of reputation. At least in terms of status, Ba Luotu and Zhao Junsheng are the same. He can't accept it in his heart to submit to Zhao Junsheng. ----Update fast, no anti-theft--

However, the situation forced him to bow his head. First of all, from the outside, both Rouran in the north and Kumoxi in the east are his great enemies, and it is unlikely that he will abandon the past; There are 30 to [-], but there are only [-] to [-] who can fight, but he is only the leader of the alliance. There are too many tribes in the eastern Chile people, and the hearts of the people are not uniform. What's more terrible is that they are seriously lacking in iron cavalry and bows and arrows. Those who were migrated from the north by the Northern Wei Dynasty naturally would not allow them to have too many iron weapons to make weapons, nor would they be allowed to have too many bows and crossbows.

From both internal and external aspects, Ba Luotu did not have the confidence to turn against Zhao Junsheng, and he had to submit to Zhao Junsheng. Otherwise, once Zhao Junsheng turned against him, he would be attacked on all sides, and 30 to [-] Chile people would be finished. .

But Baluotu is a barbarian, rebellious by nature, he can't submit to Zhao Junsheng unconditionally, "Li Zhonglang, I, Baluotu, can submit to the King of Liaodong, and we Dongchile people can submit to the King of Liaodong, but this is very important to Zhao Junsheng. What good do I have?"

Li Ji said: "First, my prince can submit a letter to the court, proposing that the leader of Baluotu be conferred the title of Chile Khan. With my prince's current status and strength, the emperor will surely give him face!"

"Secondly, the leader of Baluotu can buy all the furs and livestock produced by your Dongchile people. We in Youzhou have covered them all. The price is the same as other places. We only recognize the leader and do not share with other tribes. In this way, the furs and livestock of other tribes must be sold to the leader if they want to sell them. As for the price that the leader buys from them, it has nothing to do with Youzhou, and the leader must know how much profit there is!"
