Chapter 462 Volume 5 Li Er’s Countermeasures
Ashina Nishu is by no means a mediocre person. The reason why he took advantage of the situation and joined the Ming Dynasty was to preserve the Western Turks.
Otherwise, in the changing years ahead, Western Turks may not be able to survive alone.
And, most importantly, the Western Turks really need time to recover.
To put it bluntly, their purpose of joining was to find someone to hug them and buy them time.
But this is only one of Ashina Nishu's purposes. His other purpose is to drive a wedge between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, which will play a decisive role in the future comeback of the Western Turks.
He had been to Chang'an and naturally knew that Niu Jinda was a supporter of Li Er. He had seen Niu Jinda accompanying Li Er when he was at the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
Moreover, he also investigated the reason why Niu Jinda came to Ming Dynasty and said that Niu Jinda was not arranged by Li Er, and he would not believe it even if he were beaten to death.
This puts Niu Jinda in charge of all military and political affairs of the Western Turks. What is the difference between this and handing over the Western Turks to Li Er?
The key is that this will definitely dispel Li Er's doubts about Li Chengqian to a certain extent.
Therefore, he hurriedly spoke out.
Li Chengqian looked at Ashina Nishu and asked with a smile: "Why? Could it be that Khan is teasing me?"
As soon as this title changed, the atmosphere at the scene immediately changed.
Qibi Heli and Yi Yuanfeng immediately stood up upon hearing the sound and looked at Ashina Nishu with unkind expressions.
As for that, Ashina Ni and Fan couldn't say anything, and they both felt like drawing swords against each other.
Ashina Nishu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his mind immediately began to run wildly. In just a moment, Ashina Nishu thought of what to say, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness is joking.
How dare a humble minister tease His Highness?
It's just that Wei Chen heard that General Niu also came from famine in his early years. In the past few years, the Western Turks have suffered from natural disasters one after another. Such a mess cannot be left to General Niu.
Moreover, if General Niu is allowed to see the tragic situation of Western Turks again, he will be worried that General Niu will be moved by the situation..."
He didn't say the next words. This guy had uneasy and good intentions. He had intended to say a few more words to sow discord between Li Chengqian and Niu Jinda, but if he said more, it seemed like he was talking too much.
Speaking of this, it's just right.
Li Chengqian naturally understood what he meant and sneered in his heart.
Niu Jinda has indeed made a good comeback from the famine, and this guy is indeed a good old man. Ever since his son broke his leg, Niu Jinda has really been like a saint these years.
The family had some income and helped support their old brothers.
If there is anyone in the Tang Dynasty who really cares about people's stomach problems, Niu Jinda is indeed one of them.
But if you want to say that the tragic situation of Western Turks can make Niu Jinda emotional, it is pure nonsense!
The old people of their generation are quite interesting. In their eyes, only Han people are human beings.
Alien?
Foreign races are in their hearts, and they love them to death...
It's possible to expect Niu Jinda to fall in love with them, but it's not that easy.
"You don't have to worry about Ashina Shangshu." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "I believe that Niu Daduhu will handle all this. Moreover, it is precisely because Niu Daduhu has survived famine, so he
He can better understand the difficulties of ordinary people, and he will probably be kind to the people of Western Turks.
Niu Daduhu, am I right?"
With that said, Li Chengqian looked at Niu Jinda again.
When Niu Jinda heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Highness is overly complimentary, but when I serve as the Protector of the Western Regions, I will indeed take care of people's livelihood and make sure that the people have enough to eat. This is the first responsibility of the Veteran as the Protector of the Western Regions."
"Look, I am right, right?" Li Chengqian laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Does Master Ashina have anything else to worry about?"
Ashina's heart is bleeding, what the hell can I say?
Immediately, he had no choice but to say with a smile: "Then I will thank Niu Dadu for protecting me, the people of Western Turks."
Niu Jinda said politely: "That's what I should do, no need to say thank you."
At this moment, Niu Jinda admired Li Chengqian so much that he fell into admiration.
This guy has basically arranged everything he can in advance, what else can he say?
In fact, like Ashina Nisse, he was not willing to go to the Western Turks at first.
However, after chatting with Duan Lun after returning home, he felt that the position of Protector of the Western Region was really his.
After all, as long as he serves as the Great Protector of the Western Regions, it can indeed effectively ease the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
There is no doubt about this.
At least for the time being, Li Er will not suspect that he is colluding with Li Chengqian.
This is a good thing for both the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.
As for whether Ashina Nizi would regret it, neither he nor Li Chengqian had any doubt about it.
At this juncture, the Western Turks really had no better solution. If he had not surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, Li Er would not have gone north to attack Xue Yantuo so quickly.
And between Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks, there is another inevitable battle.
There is no way, there are too many grievances between the two of them.
But under the current situation, Li Chengqian will no longer support the Western Turks in terms of ordnance.
After all, the more fierce the fight between the two countries, the more Ming will benefit.
This is geopolitics.
"Come, come, come, in order to celebrate that Ashina Shangshu has become the official of the Ming Dynasty, come and have a drink." Li Chengqian held the wine glass and said with a smile on his face.
Hearing what he said, everyone immediately picked up their wine glasses with a smile and said: "Congratulations to me, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Congratulations to me, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty!"
Ashina Nishu picked up the wine glass, but he was full of complaints but couldn't express it, so he had to drink it all with a smile on his face.
After finishing a glass of wine, Li Chengqian patted Ashina Nishu on the shoulder again and said: "From now on, everyone will be their own people, don't be formal, come, sit, sit down."
After everyone heard this, they shook their heads helplessly.
Today, Li Chengqian taught them a lesson.
Almost without any hesitation, Ashina was arranged properly for him.
Until now, Ashina Nishen has not said a single useful word.
This may be the so-called means.
Just after everyone was seated, Ashina Nishu suddenly said: "Your Highness, since Wei Chen is already the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Ming Dynasty, I wonder if Wei Chen can give me some advice?"
"That's right." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Ashina Shangshu is now the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty. Don't say anything, but if you have any ideas, just say it."
Ashina Nishu immediately took out a memorial from his arms, and everyone was stunned. Good guy, you are really well prepared.
"Your Highness, this is what I think." Ashina Nishu said with the memorial, "Whether it is my official or the Western Turks, they have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and have not made any achievements.
However, His Highness showed great favor to both the Western Turks and his own officials.
Not only was he granted the prestigious position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he also sent His Highness's most capable general to conduct military operations in the Western Turks.
It really puts me to shame.
Therefore, I have decided that this time, we, the Western Turks, will send troops to attack Xue Yantuo for Your Highness. This is a memorial from a minor minister, and I would like to invite Your Highness to read it."
After speaking, he handed the memorial to Li Chengqian with both hands.
Li Chengqian took the memorial with a surprised look on his face, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
This bastard, luckily I didn't summon him too early, otherwise I would have really gotten his way.
"Shang Shu Ashina is really loyal." Li Chengqian said with a look of regret, "If Master Ashina had received this memorial earlier, then I would have really wanted to attack Xue Yantuo. After all, I can't let the good intentions of the Western Turks go down.
.
But now, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”
After saying that, Li Chengqian shook his head with regret.
"Why is this?" Ashina Nishu said, "Although I have selfish motives for attacking Xue Yantuo this time. After all, our Western Turks and Xue Yantuo have been at odds for many years, but this is also to open up territory for our Ming Dynasty. Why?
Difficult?
If I, the royal court of the Ming Dynasty, can take over the land of Xue Yantuo, what will happen even if we compete with the Tang Dynasty?
Your Highness, you may not be able to be your Majesty!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I, Ming Dynasty, should take advantage of it."
Not to mention him, Qi Bi Heli, Ihara Feng and other generals in the army all looked excited.
His Highness becomes His Majesty?
