Li Ke waved his sleeves and said: "Come here, bring us some good wine and the tenderest lamb. I want to eat meat and drink wine with all my friends. We will get drunk before we stop."
The people outside immediately came in with wine. This wine was distilled wine with an alcohol content of about 40 degrees, which was considered strong alcohol.
But what surprised everyone was that the King of Shu had a large bowl of wine brought to him. There was probably more than three ounces of wine in this bowl.
Everyone present had a bowl of wine, and a jar was placed on each person's desk. It seemed that he couldn't drink all the wine from the jar today.
"Everyone, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and for your ultimate ideal, I, the king, will do it first as a tribute!"
"Do it!" Everyone picked up the wine bowls.
Just now we were talking about life ideals and ultimate goals, but now they are drinking a lot of wine and eating meat. Li Ke took them away with him, which made everyone feel very uncomfortable.
The old Zen master was numb.
Buddhism abstains from alcohol and meat, so... what's the deal?
But the two Taoists picked up the wine. They didn't care. The little heavenly master had already eaten and drank. They couldn't help it. It's true that the world is natural and governed by inaction!
"Old Zen Master, there is a Buddha in your heart, and there is a Buddha everywhere. After wine and meat pass through your intestines, the Buddha remains in your heart."
The old Zen master clasped his hands together. He could not break this precept. If he broke it, the Buddhist family would be finished.
"Your Highness..." The old Zen master looked at Li Ke in embarrassment.
"Forget it, old Zen Master, just do it yourself."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After eating and drinking for half an hour, everyone finally became drowsy.
Li Ke drank rice wine and felt very energetic now.
He was waiting for now. He didn't believe that it was impossible for Hengqu to make these money-minded guys fall into his arms with just four words.
"Everyone, I have something to do and I need your help."
Cui Ming stood up immediately, but his head was a little unruly. He was so happy today that he met his close friend, Your Highness, and drank too much.
"Your Majesty, please tell us that we will not give up even if we die."
"Hey, this time I was sent by my father to supervise the battle in Longxi Province. Although I have military and political power, there is no food in the court. It will be very difficult to capture Tuyuhun in one fell swoop..."
"I would like to borrow food from all of you friends today."
"When the war is over, even if I sell heaven and earth, I will pay it back to all of you confidants..."
"Your Highness, how much do you look down on us? We are all people who have established a heart for the world, established a destiny for the people, carried on the unique knowledge for the saints, and created peace for all generations." Let alone borrowing food, it is just giving it away. , which we are very happy to do.”
"Your Highness, I, the Cui family, also have some business in Liangzhou City. I have made the decision and will give you all."
"Although I, the Gu family, don't have much business in Liangzhou and there is no food, I, the Gu family, immediately dispatched personnel to transport the goods to Wu. Wu is short of everything except food."
"Your Highness, in order to make amends, your Highness can use all the supplies that I, the Li family of Longxi, have in Liangzhou, and there is no need to repay them."
When everyone saw that the Cui family, the Gu family, and the Longxi Li family had all expressed their opinions, they were so drunk that they couldn't care less about trivial matters, and they immediately started talking in all directions.
With a cry in his voice, Li Ke cupped his hands and said, "You are as righteous as saints... I will never forget you, I will never forget you!"
Qin Qiong stood in the distance, watching His Highness's performance, and then looking at these poor people, he couldn't help but shake his head. This time, he might even have lost his pants.
However, they spent money to eliminate the disaster. His Highness used deception instead of directly robbing it!
"Uncle Qin, do you remember?"
Qin Qiong was shocked and said quickly: "Chen, remember!"
"Come here, bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
Everyone: "..."
Instantly, everyone felt a chill on their necks. Something seemed wrong!
But after drinking too much, I didn’t forget to think about the bad things.
In the afternoon, everyone was taken away by their own carriage. Li Ke was half lying on the blanket, drinking wine, and asked: "Uncle Qin, how much food can they donate this time? Is it enough for the military expenditure? If not, I will Think of something else."
"I heard that Xue Yantuo wants to help us fight the war. We are the superior country and we cannot sway the good intentions of the vassal country. You send two people who can speak back to inform Xue Yantuo. Just say what I said and send soldiers Forget it, let them send some cattle and sheep."
Qin Qiong originally wanted to say that they had almost enough money and food. For this expedition, the court had prepared food and grass for five months, but they were afraid that something unexpected would happen, so they extended the time and asked His Highness the King of Shu to operate on the Li family of Longxi, causing them to bleed heavily.
Unexpectedly, His Highness made such a large sum of money this time, which is enough for a hundred thousand troops to fight for a year.
But Your Highness wants to trick Xue Yantuo who came to your door again, so let’s trick him. Anyway, the more, the better. Who will have more food and grass first?
Just right for beating Xue Yantuo.
"I will send someone to inform the people over there at Xue Yantuo."
"Wait, if you go like this, you won't get food. You and General Li Daliang will bring 20,000 cavalry, and then notify Suzhou, Shazhou Zhechong Mansion and the two governors to move to the Xue Yantuo border at all costs. Army.”
Qin Qiong was shocked and quickly bowed and said: "Your Highness, will this cause a misunderstanding and Xue Yantuo start a war with us?"
"It's better to start a war, so that I don't have to look for excuses."
Qin Qiong: "..."
"But we only have 50,000 elite troops here, including only 20,000 cavalry."
Li Ke stood up and said, "Don't forget, we still have the artifact to protect the country."
hiss!
Qin Qiong took a breath, that thing...
"Tuyuhun is not worthy of my king's use of the sacred weapon to protect the country. If it is to be used, it must be used on Xue Yantuo's cavalry."
"I will make arrangements right now..."
Qin Qiong turned around and said: "What if Tuyuhun attacks, or the family rebels? Your Highness, your safety..."
The King of Shu is the hope of the generals. If the King of Shu fails here, Qin Qiong will be quartered by his Majesty's five horses.
"Uncle Qin, to tell you the truth, there are six thousand disciples from Taoism, one thousand monk soldiers from Buddhism, and I have brought thousands of good people, how can there be danger!"
"What's more, in this world, the person who wants to kill me has not yet been born!"
Whoosh...
Um? Where is your highness?
Qin Qiong was confused. Why is His Highness missing?
"Uncle Qin..."
Qin Qiong thought her eyes were dazzled, so Li Ke held up a huge stone outside and walked in from the door of the camp.
Damn it...
Qin Qiong is numb. When did His Highness become so energetic?
"Uncle Qin, feel free to make arrangements. You don't have to worry about my king's safety, right?"
"This is!"
If Tuyuhun sees that the 50,000-strong army is moving towards Xue Yantuo, and if they seize the opportunity to attack, Li Jing will immediately attack Hehuang from Shanzhou, making them unable to look at each other, and capture the natural danger of Riyue Mountain, hum, There will be no danger to defend Tuyuhun.
Fleeing to the west? There is Tibet waiting for him over there!
Songtsen Gampo wanted to capture Fu Yun alive and bargained with the Tang Dynasty. Fu Yun would rather be captured alive by the Tang Dynasty than by Tubo.
Because the Tang Dynasty captured him alive, he could still be alive. If Songtsen Gampo captured him alive, the Tang Dynasty would definitely kill him.
