Chapter 326: Looking back on the country (2)

"Your Highness, that's not OK. Duan Mingzhen was regarded as the pearl in his hand by Su Hegui. If the subjects spoke, they would inevitably drag the subjects out and beheaded." Hu Sheng, regardless of his injuries, got up and said anxiously.

"If it's not like this, it's just a trick of flesh, Su Hegui doesn't believe it. Maybe others think it's a beautiful girl, but as Su Hegui himself, because of his favor, he can understand your difficulties and believe your words more. For the sake of glory and wealth, he can even betray his homeland, so he doesn't care about a concubine. But in order to prevent it, you can ask him for official positions, fiefs and slaves, and after his success, he will force him to stay in Tuyuhun. He will believe it even more. Moreover, if you stay in Tuyuhun, he misses Duan Mingzhen, and he will get it at any time. In this way, you can ensure that there is no danger."

"Your Highness, this is right." Hu Sheng said with a sigh of relief.

"Gu said that your father's life and death are still unknown. Gu felt guilty. Not only did he give you a chance to make contributions, but he also wanted to ensure that you would not have any more accidents."

"Your Highness..."

"Don't thank you, you are also making contributions to the court."

"So what should the subjects say when they see him?"

"After he agreed, you told him that the arrival of the Tang Dynasty army was all unsuitable for the land and soil, and I had to keep them in Daxia and reorganized the Longzhi. But I didn't understand military affairs. In order to prepare for war, I brought a large amount of supplies to Shancheng. The defense of Huangshui North Road was lax, and there were less than 6,000 soldiers in Shancheng. You can take the name of escorting livestock and bring hundreds of his subordinates as servants to the Shancheng, and then let him lead a large army and fight from Huangshui North Road, working inside and outside. Not only can you get a large amount of supplies, but you may also capture Gu."

This is the plan that Li Wei envisioned.

In fact, due to the altitude sickness and the arrival of people from all over the country, they had to be placed in the rear and reorganized. Otherwise, they would be pushed to the front line all at once, and a chaotic group would be in a possible outbreak of the army once the Tubo people attacked.

So he placed it in the inner abdomen, one was reorganization, two was simple exercise, and three was an adaptation period for altitude sickness. The fourth was to start the construction of the city and farming, which must start from the inner abdomen and extend to the outside. In addition, many wounded soldiers with severe altitude sickness were selected, with an astonishing number of more than 15,000 people. He placed it in the depression to build a city. In this way, some soldiers still reacted strongly. This was inevitable. Even Li Wei had been training for several years and his physical fitness was considered to be of medium to high quality. When he came, he took Rhodiola's medicinal soup, but he was still a little uncomfortable.

These thousands of severe patients gave Li Wei a headache, and it was the best strategy to send him back, but he was afraid that other soldiers would imitate him. He had to find an excuse to let them go down from the plateau step by step, build roads and bridges, and evacuate to Weizhou.

There is another reason to succeed. The people don’t know the battle in the southwest, but those who are interested still know it. The main contribution of this battle was Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui. Li Wei was actually a famous coach. At least people like Zanpo and Su Hegui can know something.

But I never expected that Li Wei learned Li Jing's military tactics, which would make them look down upon. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Qinling's absence, we could see if we could steal a shot. But at that time, I didn't know if it could be successful, and it would be better. For example, let Hu Sheng exchange a large number of war horses for the court. But I didn't expect that he caught the big fish, Hesugui.

"With a lot of money to see Su Hegui, say these words. If he doesn't believe it, you will leave disappointed. If you believe it, you will be better off. If you bring his people to Shancheng, Gu will send someone to contact you quietly. Then you follow the plan. When the decisive battle comes, Gu will send someone to protect your safety again."

"Here."

When Li Wei left, many businessmen came to comfort him and then asked. Hu Sheng just said something vaguely. The prince promised to compensate another 20,000 yuan, apologized for a while.

This was considered very well compensated, and everyone comforted each other, including the merchants in Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun is located on the main road of the Southern Silk Road and has a strong commercial atmosphere. Moreover, there are many people from the Jiu surname of Zhaowu in Tuyuhun who have contact with Hu Ying and his son.

But Hu Sheng was dissatisfied and gritted his teeth and kept silent.

It is reasonable to beat him up and suffer losses. What should I do? Could it be that the prince beat Li Jinxing up and then comforted him and dispersed.

Two days later, Hu Sheng's injury healed and went to Tuyuhun again.

Li Wei received the news, but looked at the distant West. It is not necessary to ask Hu Sheng for this candidate. Hu Sheng is a little younger, but it is difficult to be competent. This is a compensation for Hu Ying. As long as he is not stupid and makes meritorious contributions, it is not a small achievement. It will not be too difficult to be promoted to an official title.

But Li Wei didn't know that Hu Ying's letter was about to arrive.

...

Hu Ying went much further than he thought.

It was mainly because Li Wei underestimated the knowledge of Westerners. Those who don’t care about Westerners and China are small countries and people who are outside the world. However, at this time, Chinese civilization has always led the world, including Alexander and others, all yearning for China.

I don't know the specific details, but the upper nobles knew that there was a powerful and wealthy country in the far east. He pretended to be an envoy, and the more he went west, the more he was welcomed. There was no danger, so he went a little further. He stayed in the Frank Kingdom, then turned to the south, arrived at the Visigothic Kingdom, and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from Byzantine-controlled Petica, and reached the place where the Berbers in Africa lived, which was also the sphere of influence controlled by the Byzantines. But at this time, he remembered that he had been away from home for too long, so he wrote two letters, one to report his safety to his family and the other to Li Wei.

But when he arrived at the place where the Berbers lived, he realized that because the Dashi was expanding, Dashi was fighting with the Berbers. Therefore, he looked, found some plant seeds, and returned to Petica again. He heard that he was going to return, and many European nobles and some countries sent envoys to follow him to the Tang Dynasty.

Hu Ying didn't know how to refuse, so he had to take him with him. When he returned to the Kingdom of Fabank, the members he accompanied had become hundreds of people. This made him happy and worried, and successfully completed the task assigned by the prince, not only the seeds of plants, but also a small number of craftsmen and a large number of books. But how did he explain it after he went back?

After many Frankish nobles sent their way out, they left Paris. But unexpectedly, a small change occurred at this time.

In the city of Paris, a wonderful girl was lying on the ground and said, "Father, save the child."

"What happened to my Dai'er?"

"Hristal wants to blaspheme his daughter."

Hristal was the famous Pippin II in history. His successor was the dwarf Pippin, and then he was Charles the Great. This was a very chaotic history. After Clovi occupied the Visigoth Gaul, the Falcon state converted to Roman Catholicism. It was possible that the German barbarians gave up paganism. They also distributed their territory to four sons. The Frank kingdom was divided into Paris, Swason, Orleans, and Lance.

This part caused the division of the Frankish country, and in Rothel I nominally unified the Frankish kingdom, but after his death, he divided the country into Ostracia, Niustria, and Burgundy's third country to give three sons. In order to be strong, these several divisions had to win over the nobles and gave them more rights. In fact, the nobles in every small public, who were divided into various places were the most powerful, and they were even more chaotic than the countries of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

King Sigbert III of Ostracia failed to fight Lingen, and the people did not recognize it, so the regime transferred to Gongxiong. In fact, from this time, Frank had officially entered the era of lazy kings. After Sigbert III's death, Gongxiong Grimold cut his son Dagbert II's hair, crossed the English Channel, hid in the monastery in Ireland, and declared his son Childbert as king. But the father and son were immediately Clove, King of Newestria.

The II captured and killed it, and the country also allowed Clove II to merge. After Clove's death, his son Childerick II continued to the throne. Rothel III of Niestria died. According to the throne, Childerick inherited Niestria and Burgundy and once again nominally unified the Frank kingdom. After Childerick's death, as the first heir to the Melovin dynasty, he was found in Ireland last year and ascended the throne as the king of the entire Frank.

But it's not a happy thing.

After years of war, the country withered and the people were living in poverty. The nobles in the local area were like uncrowned kings and all the princes were established together. In the capital, all the power was controlled by the palace, while the king had only a small palace for shelter from wind and rain, as well as a small piece of land to support his family. In fact, it was not as good as a wealthy landlord in the Tang Dynasty.

The most powerful person in the entire country is Pippin II. Because he is very fat, he was also called Fat Pippin in history.

The social atmosphere of Frank is also very corrupt. Many noble ladies gave birth to illegitimate children for others because of adultery. Among the heirs of the throne, illegitimate children are also one of the legal heirs. However, Catholicism strictly prohibits these things from happening. Sigbert III's only daughter Sigbert III's birthplace. Xiangde grew up in a monastery since she was a child and converted to Catholicism. She has a rigorous lifestyle. Besides, she has not gotten married and has an affair with others. The upper class also discusses it.

Sigbert just crossed his chest with his hands: "Lord, please forgive me."

He murmured and prayed, what else could he do? He just wanted to fight desperately, but no soldier followed his orders.

"Father, is the Lord just watching this sin happen? What kind of world is this? Why does the country in the East not believe in the Lord, the people are rich and the country is strong."

Sigbert's eyes lit up and he said, "Shande, don't resent the Lord, the Lord has asked me to come up with a solution for you."

"What's the solution?"

"Go to the east and follow the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to the east."

"What should I do with my father?"

"Didn't you look at Pippin's ambition? He did not blaspheme you, but wanted to give birth to an illegitimate child for him through you and usurp this country. Go, as long as you live well, your father will be happy."

Xiangde was hesitant, but when she thought of Piping's ugly fat face, she didn't want this person to blaspheme even if she was dead, so she stood up and said, "Then my daughter will leave now."

"No, at least wait for the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to cross the Rhine River. Then you will chase after me with your servant maid. Piping will not be anxious to chase after me when he finds out."

"yes."

Then Xiangdai calculated Hu Ying's itinerary every day. Ten days later, shed tears and parted with Sigbert. She took a small maid, rode a horse, and some luggage, and quietly fled eastward.

After a few days, he arrived at the banks of the Rhine River. Hu Ying and his party were crossing the river in the distance. Xiangdai turned his head and looked at the West, and said in his heart: "Farewell, Frank, goodbye, father."

He slapped his horse and chased him.
