Chapter 95 Bargaining (2)
"Haha, you guys have made a lot of improvement in chess skills! I miss your father, I never beat him at that time."
When Yu Wenba talked about Xiao Yu, Xiao Chenping felt mixed feelings. Speaking of him, this time he went to Jingzhou to find Yu Wenba, one for the purpose of making arrangements, and the other for knowing some of his father's past, even a little bit of the past is good.
"Mr. Marquis, tell me about my father. I want to know how he swept the north of Mo and beat Hu Yanjue to the point where he did not dare to invade my Han-Tang border for ten years."
Yuwenba touched his beard and said, "Ah, when it comes to your father Xiao Yu, I am a little envious. He is from a famous family and is also a young talent from the Han and Tang dynasties. He is the wishful husband in the girl's heart. I didn't expect to be trapped by the Dugu family in the end."
He followed General Lou Bo from the north of Mobei. Due to the storm in Mobei, the large army was trapped in Godor, and then encountered the army in Mobei, where the two sides fought for several days.
Your father took advantage of the shortcomings of the Black Armored Army of Huyan tribe and lured them to the desert, and eventually they captured Huyan tribe Khan Huyanzuo.
You should know that when fighting there, the soldiers lacked the most water. In order to lure the successful Tiance army at that time, they threw away almost all the water bags. I can't compare to his courage."
Xiao Chenping played with a black spoil on his right hand, "I'm afraid only my father can do this way of putting it to death. But thanks to my father's victory, Hu Yanjue ascended to the throne of Khan."
Yuwenba naturally understood what Xiao Chenping said, "It is better to say that he is so lucky than saying that Hu Yanjue is extremely smart! Sometimes we have to admit that planning is in the world, and doing things is in the sky. After leaving Hu Yanzuo, the other Hu Yanjue came. Their Hu Yan tribe has always been a major concern for our Han and Tang dynasties, and an existence we cannot ignore."
Xiao Chenping breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, the four major nomadic groups in the northern part of the Frontier belong to their Huyan tribe, and they thought that Taizong was so capable of conquering emperors who were good at fighting back then had suffered their losses."
Yuwenba looked at Xiao Chenping with a curious look on his face, "Chenping, don't you want to hit them Huyan's army?"
Xiao Chenping smiled, but his smile was not warm. "If it weren't for Hu Yanjue, how could my father die in Pingcheng? Encirclement and suppression of Hu Yan's tribe is something I must do in my life. My father has not completed it. As his son, I will definitely complete it for him."
When Yuwenba heard what Xiao Chenping said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The Huyan tribe has become a khan since the Turkic division. Now, under the governance of Huyanjue, its tribal power is at its peak.
Don’t say that you want to encircle and suppress them, even if I am not allowed to do it. Chenping, you have this filial piety, I think your father will be relieved if he knows it. Don’t be blinded by this hatred. The overall situation should be the most important thing in the court and the people. Moreover, there are Tubo and Nanzhao Western Regions around us, and they are all staring at us."
Xiao Chenping nodded slightly, "I naturally understand this, so I have to make a long-term plan. It may not work in a short period of time, but I still have time. If ten years don't work, I will use it for twenty years. If twenty years don't work, I will use it for the rest of my life."
"Hey, your Xiao family are so persistent! But I still appreciate it! Haha! Xiao Pingzi, if you can use it in the future, just tell me, I will do my best to help you."
Xiao Chenping said softly, "Oh? Marquis, then I thank you for your kindness here first. But now, there is really an urgent matter that needs your help."
Yuwenba asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Let's hear it."
"Gu Zongyang concealed the internal news of Nanzhao and did not report it to the court. He was also incompatible with An Yu. I heard that Gu Zongyang secretly intervened in local affairs in Wuzhou. An Yu wrote a letter to Gu Zongyang, but Your Majesty ignored it. I was worried that Wuzhou would be affected once Nanzhao was born."
Yu Wenba smacked his lips and said, "So, Gu Zongyang has his own plans. I haven't seen this little bastard for many years, but he has learned to play tricks."
"I don't know if it's a trick. What I'm worried about is the situation on Xuansheng. As long as Meng Zhao changes his flag to oppose the Nanzhao King, Meng Zhao will definitely become a place of war. At that time, Xuansheng's Fuling will become Meng Zhao's last line of defense."
Yuwenba looked at Xiao Chenping, "Do you mean it?"
Xiao Chenping said seriously, "Justice, as the Marquis thought, I need your Jingzhou army to support him at any time. If possible, I want the Jingzhou army to station in Baidi City east of Fuling. As long as the Nanzhao chaos is in chaos, you can arrive at Mengzhao in the shortest time. This is the gift I give you."
Yuwenba couldn't help but be moved. Xiao Chenping knew very well that the Nanzhao battle would definitely become more and more intense, and he would enter first. Moreover, Mengzhao already had the will to surrender, and he would have calculated that his army was famous by then, and the most important thing was the ownership of Mengzhao's territory.
What's more, Zhongzong Li Min had the intention to collect debts for Nanzhao, and he did this himself just to follow the words of Zhongzong Li Min. Although he didn't know what Gu Zongyang meant, he represented Li Jie. He knew better than anyone else what kind of person Li Jie was. This guy is not a simple character, otherwise he would not have become the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard.
Yuwenba pointed to the chess piece in the chessboard and said to Xiao Chenping, "Chenping, I can't accept your gift by myself. To talk about the history of Nanzhao, it depends on the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
Xiao Chenping's hand fell, "Nanzhao will continue to exist, but he will not threaten the strength of our Han and Tang dynasties."
Yuwenba thought and said in surprise, "Hey, you kid. It's better to let Nanzhao die happily than torture them like this. I'm afraid they will be unhappy."
Xiao Chenping smiled coldly, "Marty, it's better to live than to die. Nanzhao's each have their own thoughts, Mengzhao is just the most ostentatious one. Now our only opponent is the new king of Shelongzhao and the one from Nanzhao Xingchen Palace."
"Well, that's true. That Gu Zongyang was also a descendant of Nanzhao. I think he was so quiet and must have his own plans. It seems that Nanzhao has become a place of struggle among the factions within our Han and Tang dynasties."
Xiao Chenping complimented, "Marty, it's really a sharp attack. The boy admires it."
Yuwenba's cheeks twitched a few times, and he cursed with a smile, "You little Pingzi, I can't even see this. I'll be in vain for decades of officialdom! You are a little sloppy, your little thoughts are much more than your father. I have a bit of the true teachings of Mr. Xiao."
"Haha, if I had some true story about my grandfather, I wouldn't have been left in the Xiao family. To be honest, I really envy my second uncle, who can live for himself."
