Chapter 544: The Prince Consort

"If this is the case, the barbarians and I will definitely be the pioneers of the Tang Dynasty, sweep away the southwest for the Tang Dynasty, and protect the southwest barrier." Gao Shang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he raised his hands and said, "I would like to ask you two adults to make a statement in front of your majesty. It is best to let Qin

The general favors me and the barbarians. I am noble and will treat the general as an honored guest."

"Haha, if this is the case, I will definitely go to the barbarians to help the wise king." Qin Huaiyu and Dugu Liang looked at each other and smiled, and said with a smile: "I heard the wise king talking about the scenery of the southwest, and I can't wait to go now.

Let’s see the southwest.”

"The girl from the southwest is passionate, the young general is very handsome, and he is not married yet, so there is a great chance!" Gao Shang suddenly showed a trace of strange color on his face. Dugu Liang was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly burst out laughing, Qin

Huaiyu's face turned red and he was so embarrassed that he had no choice but to look outside and watch the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army clean up the battlefield.

When Dugu Liang and Gao Shang saw this, their laughter became even louder. After the three of them drank for a while, they ordered the imperial guards to be careful and not to mention it, and then they went to rest. However, in the dark night, two riders rushed out of the town,

One rode toward the east and the other rode toward the west. They were instantly plunged into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

"Your Majesty, Qin Huaiyu and Dugu Liang have sent a secret report." Outside Chenliu County, on the official road, thousands of imperial guards were guarding a carriage and driving slowly. Qin Jiudao, dressed in a flying fish suit, rushed over and respectfully

He respectfully handed over a secret box. A bright wrist appeared in the car and took it.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this handsome young man Qin Huaiyu is an outstanding talent of the young generation." Cui Yingying said thoughtfully in the carriage.

"What? What do Zitong have in mind?" Lu Zhaoci did not open the box, but looked at Cui Yingying with a smile and said: "Qin Qiong, the second brother Qin, has a good family background. His ancestors were also generals, and his grandfather Qin Xu was the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Dazai, you are young and handsome, and your martial arts skills are extraordinary! In Chang'an City, many people are watching you."

"Qingcheng is not young anymore and can leave the cabinet." Cui Yingying nodded and said. The Qingcheng Cui Yingying mentioned was Lu Zhaoci's eldest daughter, who was canonized as Princess Qingcheng. She is now twenty-eight years old. She is Lu Dongzan.

This time when I came to Datang, what I wanted was Princess Qingcheng.

"Among the many sons from aristocratic families, there is no need to consider those from the eldest grandson's family. One only knows how to study, and the other is a martial artist. Although I am also a martial artist, I don't want my daughter to marry a man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

The rest of the characters, Yuchi Baoqing and Yuchi Baolin, are all people who can be considered. If he is a truly outstanding talent, it is Qin Huaiyu. This son is extraordinary. His father Qin Qiong is also a general under my command. It is a pity that this Qin Qiong is Ying.

He died young, otherwise, his achievements may not be as good as Xu Shiji's." Lu Zhaoci shook his head. In fact, in his heart, he understood that the reason why Qin Qiong died young was, on the one hand, due to physical reasons, but more importantly

The most important thing is to die of melancholy. Qin Qiong was very righteous and followed Zhang Xutuo, Li Mi, and finally Li Shimin. He also made a lot of achievements, especially when he followed Zhang Xutuo. Unfortunately, the master he followed

Luck is all bad. Not to mention Zhang Xutuo, how Li Mi died, and even Li Shimin did not die well in the end. When Lu Zhaoci became emperor, there were many famous generals under Lu Zhaoci, including Qin Yong.

They were also leading generals, but Qin Shubao, a very famous figure in history, was actually not reused. In the end, although he was made the Duke of the country, it was actually Lu Zhaoci's comfort that led to his real military merit.

It does not make him a prince. Qin Qiong was strong, and he did not dare to resign, but he was very depressed in his heart, and finally died young. Speaking of it, Qin Qiong's death had nothing to do with Lu Zhaoci

It matters a lot.

"Your Majesty, do you agree with this?" Cui Yingying said in surprise.

"Haha, we have to wait until we see Qin Huaiyu." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "It's just that Qin Huaiyu may have some talent, otherwise, Cen Wenwen wouldn't suggest that I send him from the Dafeichuan front line

I'm back." After saying that, he opened the secret box in front of him with a smile and took out the memorial inside.

"This Lu Dongzan actually wants to learn from Ban Chao. He doesn't even think about it. This is the Tang Dynasty and not the Western Regions. I am not comparable to those little kings from the Western Regions. I have all the elite soldiers and generals in my hands. In fact, those little soldiers from the Western Regions can

Comparatively." Lu Zhaoci read the report in his hand and suddenly said with a smile: "He actually sent people to Hongnong Palace to assassinate Gao Shang. What he didn't expect was that Qin Huaiyu just returned to Beijing and was sent to escort him by Mr. Cen.

Gao Shang happened to destroy Lu Dongzan’s conspiracy.”

"Oh, I didn't expect that. Qin Huaiyu is a lucky general!" Cui Yingying said in surprise. It is an honor to be judged by the emperor personally and come to the capital to see him. This time he defeated the enemy and protected the envoy.

, it is a great achievement, and it is not bad to say that he is a lucky general.

"The so-called blessed generals also need to have strength. If you don't have strength, you can't become a blessed general." Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said: "Although I don't know how these lamas can reach out, I do know the Qin family's trump cards.

It's amazing that the lama was able to escape from Qin Huaiyu's hands. It can be seen that the lama is very skilled, but this is secondary. When the two armies fought, they used all methods, assassinating generals and executing beheading operations. Then

It is even more commonplace. One day, when the two armies are fighting, these lamas will assassinate and kill our generals on the battlefield, which is a bad thing for our army. Therefore, these lamas must not be kept."

"Then what should we do?" Cui Yingying frowned.

"Come here, go to the Shaolin Temple and tell Master Wu Se, the abbot of Shaolin, to go to Luoyang to see you. I want to see him." Lu Zhaoci thought for a while and took out a token from his arms. The token was blood red and engraved on the front.

With the word "order" in his hand, he threw it outward, and saw a member of the Royal Forest Army leaping up and taking the token in his hand.

"Order Niangzhang to go to Tubo to see him." Lu Zhaoci said with a cold expression: "Since Lu Dongzan can enter the Tang Dynasty and assassinate the Heman envoy under Hongnong Palace, I can also let Niang

The people at the pole are going to Tubo." His voice was cold and full of murderous intent, and the carriage was freezing cold.

"Your Majesty, this Qin Huaiyu is truly extraordinary in martial arts!" Cui Yingying pointed at the memorial in front of Lu Zhaoci and said.

"It's not just extraordinary, it's just what I wanted." Lu Zhaoci seemed to have thought of something, pointing to the memorial and said: "In fact, Lu Dong's praise of this person is not useless. At least this noble man was fooled. Look,

I just don’t know whether Qin Huaiyu came up with this strategy or Mr. Cen came up with it." After saying that, he handed the memorial to Cui Yingying. Cui Yingying took it, looked at it carefully, and placed the memorial on several cases.

"Your Majesty, I am so stupid that I didn't think of the reason behind this. I looked at it and saw that Qin Huaiyu said that he was going to join the Heman tribe in the southwest and help the Heman tribe to train the army. Isn't this to help the Heman tribe?

Has the strength of the Heman tribe increased greatly? The reason why our army can defeat other armies many times is that, on the one hand, the soldiers in the army fight bravely and are all elite divisions, but what is even more powerful is the wisdom and martial arts of the commanders.

It must be established so that His Majesty has countless outstanding generals. It is possible that these people are not the same as generals, but they are definitely not comparable to ordinary generals in Naxi. I heard that this Qin Huaiyu not only has a family background, but also seems to be

He has studied martial arts. If he goes to the southwest to help the Heman tribe train the army, wouldn't it mean that the Heman tribe will learn the methods of training the army and the tactics of commanding operations? At that time, of course, he can help His Majesty to hold back the troops.

Tribes such as Puzi, Mang, Wang, and Jinji even unified the southwest, but the strength of the Heman tribe was greatly improved because of this. If Nong is not good, it will become the second Tubo, and the situation in the southwest will also change.

Look, your Majesty must consider this!" It has to be said that in this era, military art cannot be passed on to the outside world. Lu Zhaoci's opening of martial arts has already allowed these military arts to be passed on to the outside world. However, those who can enter the martial arts school are

Those who have to go through an identity check, and those with unclear wealth cannot enter the martial arts school. This also ensures that the generals who command the armies of the Tang Dynasty are loyal to the Tang Dynasty. At the very least, they will not pass on these military arts to the enemy. But Qin Huai

If you go to help the Heman tribe train the army, it is possible to pass on the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty to the Heman tribe. In this era, it is a great thing. It cannot be said that Cui Yingying's idea is wrong, because this dynasty

In fact, this is the case, and the so-called general family is also derived from this. The way of marching and fighting cannot be taught to non-relative disciples, that's it, let alone teach it to other people now.

"Haha, I have considered what Zi Tong said. But I have other ideas." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said: "Qin Huaiyu went to help Gao Shang train the army with the barbarians. It is possible that he will

The Art of War has been leaked, but Queen, have you ever thought about it? Today, in the book market of the Tang Dynasty, military classics such as Sun Tzu's Art of War can be seen almost everywhere. The command knowledge imparted in martial arts cannot be completely kept secret.

If someone is willing to get things, they can naturally get them. It just takes a different amount of time."

"Then your Majesty, wouldn't it be good for us, the Tang Dynasty, for Qin Huai to enter the southwest and help the barbarian tribes? Aren't you afraid of cultivating a Tubo again?" Cui Yingying asked again puzzled.

"That won't happen." Lu Zhaoci shook his head with a smile and said, "Qin Huaiyu is here only to help me seize the southwest in the shortest time. Commanding the battle with the barbarians can make

The five southwest tribes were detached, which made it impossible for Tubo to gain the support of the five southwest tribes. This is one of the reasons. The other is that more pro-Tang generals can be cultivated in the Heman tribe, so that the majesty of the Tang Dynasty can penetrate into the Heman tribe.

In the hearts of all soldiers, this time I will not only send Qin Huaiyu, but also send a team of 100 captains to enter the Heman tribe to help the Heman tribe establish a regular army command hierarchy. And then influence their thinking and will

They have become pro-Tang elements. When the time comes, even if Gao Shan wants to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, his generals will not agree. The Tang army will receive more help when it attacks the Heman tribe." Lu Zhao

Ci's eyes were shining brightly, as if all this was under his control. This was not because he was sure about himself, but because he was sure about history. In Chinese history, since the Opium War, the number of soldiers invited by the Chinese army

It is common for foreigners to serve as military advisers, and those Western countries are also happy to do so, because in this way, it is not actually the Chinese generals who control these armies. These armies are in the hands of these advisers, even if they are not in the hands of

In the hands of these advisers, the commanders and generals have also greatly increased their impression of Western countries, and have cultivated many pro-Western envoys, such as pro-American and pro-Japanese elements. This is how they came. Now that Qin Huaiyu is going to the southwest, it is conceivable that

Taking advantage of the opportunity to cultivate more pro-Tang elements, and even control the army. In this way, even if Gao Shang is disloyal in the future, he will not have much power in his hands. And when the Tang army enters the southwest, it will also get more soldiers from the southwest.

support. Therefore, Lu Zhaoci 100% agrees with Qin Huaiyu’s views.

"After His Majesty said this, I understand." Cui Yingying nodded in realization.

"I have considered this before, but I was afraid that the other party would object and it would not be in line with my plan. I didn't expect that the assassination of Hongnong Palace would help me solve a big trouble." Lu Zhaoci nodded with a smile.

, with a look of satisfaction on his face, he said: "It's Qin Huaiyu and Dugu Liang, these two people have different reactions! I just don't know if they came up with this strategy, or if it was directed by Mr. Cen.

."

"No matter who came up with the idea, it's not easy for Qin Huaiyu and Dugu Liang to take advantage of this opportunity, and it's not easy to do it so seamlessly." The look of satisfaction on Cui Yingying's face was even greater.

After getting stronger, he nodded and said: "Just like this, he is good enough to be a prince-in-law."

"That's the case." Lu Zhaoci thought for a while, nodded and said, "If he goes to the southwest and becomes my consort, I will feel a lot more relieved. This Dugu Liang has some talents, and he can go to the southwest. This

The two of them complement each other in culture and martial arts, and if they don't do well in military affairs, they can pacify the southwest."

"What's more important is that Qin Huaiyu is still a direct descendant of the prince." Cui Yingying also nodded and said: "In the future, there will be someone around the prince." Lu Zhaoci nodded after hearing this.

"General Qin, we are a little bolder this time." What Lu Zhaoci didn't know was that at this moment, on the official road to Luoyang, Dugu Liang had a trace of worry on his face.

"The main purpose of our going deep into the southwest is to spy on things in the southwest." Qin Huaiyu said nonchalantly: "Before coming, Mr. Cen once told Huaiyu that the terrain in the southwest is complex, with numerous mountains and forests, and venomous snakes and beasts.

There are countless of them. If you don't pay attention, you will be injured by these things. By then, our army will be injured by these poisonous snakes and beasts before fighting the enemy. Wouldn't it be that a lot of energy has been lost in vain? What's more, last night, last night, we were injured by these poisonous snakes and beasts.

You have also seen that those kinds of blow darts are so hard to guard against! The poison is extremely poisonous. If a person hides in a big tree, it can wipe out a small army of a hundred people. Don't underestimate it! We are asking to go to the southwest to help and

The purpose of training the barbarian army is to provide a convenient passage for the army." Qin Huaiyu shook his head, with a look of solemnity on his face.

"Although that is the case, the method of training the army in the Tang Dynasty is top secret!" Dugu Liang shook his head and said: "Once you and I suggest helping the Heman tribe to train the army, maybe not only His Majesty will not agree, but those officials will also not agree.

They won’t let us go. This is leaking military secrets and is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason!”

"Brother Dugu, it's too late to tell at this time." Qin Huai's fault has already been placed on His Majesty's desk. However, the general believes that His Majesty is talented and has great strategies, so he cannot fail to see the reason. Otherwise, Mr. Cen will not

I will ask you and me to spy on Gao Shang. This Gao Shang is very friendly to the Tang Dynasty. Helping him train the army will definitely help us solve the southwest problem as soon as possible in the future. Even if the five southwest regions cannot be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty,

What can you do? Don't forget, as long as we help the Heman tribe train the army, Gao Shang will definitely raise troops to attack the other four southwest tribes. In this way, it will be our opportunity for the Tang Dynasty. A united southwestern five tribes is not what we want.

A sluggish Southwest Five is what we want. Your Majesty must also hope that the Southwest Five will be unified, so that we can reduce the number of troops deployed in the southwest and use all our strength to deal with the Tibetans in the northwest." Dugu Liang nodded after hearing this, but still

He sighed deeply. Although he said so, the decision-making power was not in his own hands.

This is the difference between the children of aristocratic families and the new aristocrats. The children of aristocratic families are relatively conservative in their thinking. They adhere to the ancient ideas, unlike the new aristocrats who dare to break the past traditions. In terms of thinking,

It is much more open than the old aristocratic families.

"Haha, Brother Dugu, I heard that young girls from the southwest are so bold. Brother Dugu is rich and handsome. If you go to the southwest, don't be fooled by those girls!" Qin Huaiyu suddenly joked. A family like Dugu Liang's.

This disciple is a well-known figure in Chang'an City. Among the brothels and restaurants, there have never been fewer figures.

"Haha! I don't care about Liang Liang, but he is a general. He is young but has a high position, and now he is not married. This is the object of everyone's envy! I wonder if any of the noble patriarchs are equal to the barbarian prince-in-law." But Dugu Liang was like this.

He retorted with a smile: "If I were noble, I would leave the general in the southwest, take charge of the southwest army, help the Heman tribe destroy the other four tribes, and dominate the southwest!" Qin Huaiyu shook his head when he heard this, and his eyes were leaking.

After a moment of reflection, he knew that his marriage was not his decision.
