Chapter 677 The troublesome King Qi

"I'll go down and gather the troops."

Yuchi Baolin knew that the northwest was unsettled, and the reason why Li Xiang transferred him here was because something might happen, but he didn't expect that it would happen so quickly.

Li Xiang nodded. It was indeed inappropriate for Yuchi Baolin to be here. After all, this was related to a royal scandal. No matter what kind of words were spread in the future, Yuchi Baolin would be suspected. He went out to assemble his team at this time, which could be regarded as avoiding suspicion. .

When King Qi left, Li Xiang told him that our goal now is not to really fight, but to let the countries in the Western Regions see the toughness of our Tang Dynasty in the process of his causing trouble, and win the war without fighting. Certain benefits.

Ordinarily, Li Xiang's strategy is okay. If we look at the whole thing, King Qi Li You has done a good job, but he is not asking you to complete it in this way. If this news is blocked, it will be relatively good. Okay, but if word spreads, Datang's reputation will be ruined in the future.

“It’s something that fails more than enough to achieve success, but more than enough failure.”

Li Xiang also felt a headache. The Western Turks were the largest country in the entire Western Region, and now the prince's wife was being played with. It would be a damned thing if she didn't show any performance.

"Is there no problem with your prince's safety?"

Although Li You is not a thing, this guy is the prince of the Tang Dynasty after all. Li Xiang is now in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions. Regardless of what this guy did, if he died here, it would be difficult for Li Xiang to explain this. In the eyes of some conspirators, Li Xiang may have killed Li You deliberately.

"Returning to Your Highness, after this incident, General Niu sent people to protect our prince, and then we did not dare to live in the city. Everyone went to the military camp outside the city, but the Western Turks actually sent out a large army to guard us. We were surrounded and we were not allowed to leave the area of ​​the capital of the Western Turks for thirty miles."

This attendant no longer dared to hide anything and told everything at once. If Li Xiang was not informed of the local difficulties, how could Li Xiang send troops to rescue?

After hearing this, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was still in his military camp, Niu Jinda was not a fool. The combat effectiveness of his troops was very strong and there was no way to defeat the capital of the Western Turks. It's okay to protect them and run back.

"Go away and have a rest. Shut your mouth. If even a single word is spread, not to mention that your prince's life is in danger. Three generations of your ancestors are gone."

When Li Xiang was talking, there was a guard following this guy behind him. He would be monitoring this guy twenty-four hours a day in the future.

Mr. Zhao was originally sent back to rest, but he was helped back again. I heard that someone from the Western Region was coming back quickly. Mr. Zhao also wanted to know what was going on. After all, Mr. Zhao is also one of the people in charge here. Really If something happens, Mr. Zhao will not be able to escape the blame.

"It's ridiculous, this is simply ridiculous. I, the Tang Dynasty, have lost all my face by him."

Mr. Zhao said this a little bit wrong. He was just a minister of the Tang Dynasty, but King Qi was the son of the emperor. But King Qi did such a disgusting thing. No one can explain it, especially Mr. Zhao is a Taoist. gentlemen.

"Who says it's not the case? I thought that my fifth uncle fell in love with the princess of some country. Even if something happened, we could just marry the princess back. But I didn't expect that he fell in love with someone else's. Princess, if something like this happened, it’s not as simple as getting it back.”

Li Xiang also felt the difficulty of this matter. If the Western Turks fell out with the Tang Dynasty because of this matter, at least half of the other countries would follow the Western Turks. It is not that the troops under Li Xiang do not dare to fight, but There will definitely be more casualties by then. The most important thing is that after the battle is over, we don't have enough troops to occupy the entire Western Region. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?

"Master Zhao, this matter is quite serious. It seems that I have to travel far away, otherwise they won't put it back."

Li Xiang thought about it for a while, and decided that he had to take action on his own. If it continues like this, the idiot's way of doing things would probably make the matter even worse. The consequences were very serious, and Li Xiang had to cut through the mess quickly and resolve the matter as soon as possible.

"Your Highness must not go at this time. There are many people in the entire Western Turks who know about this matter. If they really want to take revenge, then there will definitely be no way for His Highness King Qi to survive. Losing a prince will be a big blow to me. It's okay for Tang Lai, but if you have any problems, the imperial court..."

What Master Zhao said is the truth. Even though King Qi Li You may be the emperor's son, this guy's sense of existence has never been high. Even if he died in the Western Regions, at most we would be reprimanded, and at worst, we would be punished. Relegation or even losing the title is also possible, but we can bear these consequences.

But what if Li Xiang goes there in person and something happens? Who should I cry to at that time? You must know that Li Xiang is now the emperor's grandson of the Tang Empire, that is, the third generation heir. I don't know how many people hope that Li Xiang will die, so Li Xiang can never risk his life.

"I definitely have to go to this matter. No matter who dies on either side, this will have a profound impact on our relationship. Didn't we say it before? We are like a powerful wolf now, but the other party is a huge The elephants, we can only make them afraid now, but there is no way to kill them, and the overall situation cannot be changed."

Li Xiang has no choice. Now various places are recovering rapidly. If there is another year, Li Xiang will be able to mobilize a large number of troops to occupy the Western Regions, but it is not possible at this time. The countries in the Western Regions must be stabilized, and also We must maintain the current diplomatic situation and put pressure on them without going to war.

This is like walking a tightrope. If you don't walk well, you may fall off at any time. Mr. Zhao thought about it again and again, but there was no other way to solve it. Although he could pass it, he was not strong enough at all. Who told Li You What he did was too much. He even dared to seduce someone else's princess. This was something no man could bear. It was quite good that he didn't kill him on the spot.
