Chapter 821: just deal
Chapter 821 is just a transaction
Fan Lin bowed and knelt at Qin Lang's feet.
"Please Duke Wei to avenge my father."
Qin Lang looked at the princess, but just shook his head, "I'm not interested in avenging your father. It is said that Linyi was the territory of the Han Dynasty back then, and your Zhan people's ancestors, Qulian, were the sons of my Han officials, but they rebelled against me. Now Lin Yi The king of Yi was also killed by his subordinates in rebellion, I should even take pleasure in misfortune, good and evil will be rewarded in the end."
The princess was very angry at what was said, but she didn't dare to refute.
"My father and king have always respected Datang and paid tribute every year. As the suzerain, Datang should uphold justice for the subordinate country."
"For you, the suzerain-vassal relationship is nothing more than a fart. You can use it when you want to use it and throw it away after you use it. Your grandfather Fan Fanzhi was capricious in the Central Plains. Your father's Respectful, it was only because the emperor of the Central Plains was angry and sent tens of thousands of troops to attack your capital and take away the golden statue of your ancestors."
Such bare words make the princess ashamed.
"I've always been straightforward. I'm not interested in avenging your father and upholding justice for Linyi, but if you are willing to replace your eldest brother as Linyi king, I can consider sending troops to help you. Restoration of the country."
"Why?" The princess was puzzled.
"Because I don't know your elder brother well, and the rumors I've heard about him don't satisfy me, I don't think if I help your elder brother, he won't really appreciate it, and I'll be busy for nothing. But you It’s different, I’ve spent some time with you, I think you’re bold and careful, if you are a queen, you should do something, especially you’re very polite, then I’ll help you, you’ll remember.”
"Don't the Han people often say that they don't repay their kindness?" the princess asked.
Qin Lang smiled, "It's true that you don't want to repay your kindness, but it doesn't apply everywhere. If you beg me now, and I will help you, it is impossible to not want anything. After all, this is a deal .”
"What does Duke Wei want from me? Beauty?"
"I like beauties, but I never force others. If someone really wants to repay her with a body, I won't refuse." He smiled slightly, "To be serious, I know you also dislike the Guangming sect. So I hope that after you become queen, we can work together to drive out the heretics of the Guangming Sect in Linyi, and not give them any chance of survival."
"Secondly, I hope that after you become queen, Datang and Linyi can start comprehensive trade cooperation. Linyi will open more commercial ports to Datang, and the two sides will have deeper cooperation."
Princess thought for a while, "My elder brother can promise you these too."
"No, your elder brother is very close to the Guangming Cult, and he is a person with little ability, so he may not have that courage."
Fan Lin once again refreshed her understanding of Qin Lang. This dignified and young Duke Wei of the Tang Dynasty always acts in an eclectic manner, completely breaking her previous impression of the important ministers of the great powers in the Central Plains.
He speaks candidly enough, he doesn't like to beat around the bush, she can see that he really likes her, it's the kind of unemotional and pure love for beauty, but he is not in a hurry, but very calm and pure.
He doesn't even hide his liking.
It seems that in his eyes, everything is about profit.
"Think about it carefully. Anyway, your elder brother is still on his way to Jiaozhou. I still need some time to solve it here. There is still time, so there is no rush."
Fan Lin couldn't be as calm as Qin Lang. The capital rebelled, his father was murdered, and his elder brother fled. Now Lin Yiguo didn't know what the chaos was like, but the demon Prince Chenla took advantage of the fire and raised troops.
All of this may be because of her escape from marriage, it is all because of her.
"Mr. Wei will not be able to put down the Judingman rebellion here for a while, right?"
"That's what you said wrong. I can completely solve these problems in three months at most, so I will give you three months to think about it."
"Is Wei Gong too confident? I heard that the two armies of Nong and Sanniang are marching forward all the way, and the barbarian kings of the two streams on the left and right gather more than 100,000 men to resist, and they are already unable to hold on. Maybe, Juding The army will soon come to Yongzhou."
"Princess, using soldiers is not your specialty."
Seeing Qin Lang turning around to leave, the princess gritted her teeth and called him, "Are you really willing to help me?"
"Of course, if you are willing to cooperate, I think this is a good deal."
The princess bit her lip. These words were hurtful, but reassuring.
"I can promise you, but you have to send someone to take my brother over safely to protect him."
"Actually, your brother is very likely to be killed by the assassins of the Guangming Cult. Such a result will be of great benefit to our cooperation, so that you will not be hindered at all when you become a queen. You don't think about it anymore? "
"No." The princess gritted her teeth.
Qin Lang said indifferently, "In that case, it's up to you."
"etc."
"If you have any other requirements, you can bring them up together, and I will consider them together."
"I, I will take a bath tonight and wait for you."
Qin Lang was taken aback.
"I appreciate the beauty of the princess very much, but I am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others' difficulties or even takes advantage of others' dangers. Even if it is a transaction, it still depends on your love and my willingness."
"I know what a deal is. You help me pick up my brother Wang back, and I will sleep with you." The princess also said directly.
"Why bother?"
"Since it's a deal, I have to show my sincerity."
······
"Mr. Wei, Cheng Chumo has sent someone to invite the battle again. He said that the soldiers and horses in Guidezhou are getting ready and their morale is high. However, the veterans of the Juding rebel army who have found Hengshan Village are tired, their morale is unstable, and their food and grass are already running low. It's time to strike."
Qin Lang was still thinking about the sincerity of the princess just now in his mind, and he was a little distracted.
Joining the army said it again.
"What's the rush? You don't have to worry about being late for a good meal, and you can't eat hot tofu even if you're impatient. Although the military spirit of the Nong family is not stable, the rabbits still bite when they are in a hurry. In a big battle, even if you win, you have to pay a lot. It's pointless. Wait any longer, we have to wait for the good news from Li Daliang."
"The two streams are full of complaints now, they can't hold it anymore."
"If you can't hold on, you have to hold on."
"What if the city is broken?"
"It doesn't matter if the city is broken." Qin Lang didn't care. Even if the Nong family captured Hengshan and Tanzhou, Qin Lang had already established a solid line of defense in Guide and Zuozhou. It is inevitable that the vitality will be greatly injured, and it will be more difficult to advance.
After the news that Li Daliang had invaded its hinterland came from the old lair of Juding, the barbarians in Juding would have no evidence to advance or retreat, and it would be easier for the Tang army to chase and kill them.
As for the loss after the city was broken, the loss was also Xidongman's. No matter how much their strength was lost, Qin Lang didn't feel bad.
Ruthless.
The soldiers couldn't help thinking of it together.
"Duke Wei, a letter from Admiral Niu of the South China Sea Fleet."
Qin Lang took over, but it was Niu Jianhu who had sent Qin Lang and others to land in Qinzhou Bay before, loaded a lot of equipment and materials and continued along the coast, all the way to Taiping Port in Wu'an Prefecture.
The Marine Corps of the South China Sea Fleet and Qin Langtiao's Lingnan native soldiers totaled about 3,000 people. They disembarked at Taiping Port and went to Zhennan Pass to reinforce Qin Yong and them.
And Niu Jianhu led the remaining troops of the South China Sea Fleet and continued to Jiaozhou to reinforce Li Daliang.
Li Daliang attacked Juding and attacked along the inland waterway. The navy's ships and sailors were exactly what Li Daliang needed.
Niu Jianhu sent a lot of soldiers, horses, money and food in Qinzhou and Wu'an Prefecture, but when he arrived in Jiaozhou, there were still more than 300 bareboats. Followed the vine to destroy several strongholds of the Guangming Sect and some maritime merchants who were involved in collusion, and stole a lot of ships.
Li Daliang was very happy after getting so many ships, especially many warships.
Immediately, many soldiers and horses were loaded up along the Lujiang River.
Qin Lang received this letter from Niu Jianhu, which was sent when he went up against the Jin River and had already invaded the territory of the Liaozi Department.
Where you go, it's like entering the meaning of no one.
The Gouting tribes almost invaded their nests and invaded east this time, and most of the people who stayed behind were old and weak. They did not expect that Tang Jun would come so quickly.
Li Daliang was very annoyed because of the rebellion of the Liaozi Department, especially this time the Liaozi Department actually played the Lijuding Kingdom and claimed the banner of Wang Jianyuan. This is not an ordinary rebellion, it is an absolute treason.
Dare to establish a country on the territory of the Tang Dynasty and become the king and change the Yuan, that is courting death.
Li Daliang issued the Sanguang order with a murderous look.
Those who dare to take up arms to rebel will be shot and killed. After breaking through the city, all Juding barbarians will have to pay the price.
"Stones must be cut, thatch must be overfired, and people must be changed!"
This is an unprecedentedly fierce declaration of war.
In order to motivate the soldiers, Li Daliang even offered high rewards. At the same time, he mobilized merchants to transport grain and grass with the army in exchange for the qualification to buy spoils with the army. This was what Qin Lang did when he attacked Tuyuhun in Longyou. Now Li Daliang Da Liang also simply used it. He even allowed the people in Annan to join the army under the title of Volunteer and Volunteer, so that he could serve in front of the army.
After making meritorious service, the spoils can also be divided and rewarded.
So for a while, everyone in Annan was enthusiastic, knowing that the main force of Juding had gone to the left and right streams, and now they were dragged there and could not come back. Who would miss such a good opportunity to sneak attack and loot? I have made a lot of money, and this time when a better opportunity comes, of course I am more enthusiastic.
Although Niu Jianhu is leading a navy, the main force of the Marine Corps has already disembarked in Wu'an Prefecture, but facing a group of old and weak women and children left behind, the sailors of the fleet can't hold back, and they still join in with swords, guns and bows. According to what Niu Jianhu said, the team that robbed them gained a lot.
His letter was to remind Qin Lang that the Jiaozhou Army had entered the hinterland of Juding in separate ways, and it is estimated that the letter of plea for help would soon be delivered to Nong.
Niu Jianhu asked Qin Lang to keep an eye on Judingman.
"Don't let them come back to affect my Lao Niu and Mr. Li's sweeping up of all the tribes in Juding!"
After reading the letter, Qin Lang laughed and cursed a few words.
Things are progressing as I expected with Li Daliang before. What kind of waves can a woman lead a group of savages?
"Come here, send an order to go down, pack up your things, set up camp and prepare to leave, and go to Zuozhou."
