This is the only disadvantage a time traveler has when facing the natives.
This also proves that knowing too much is not a good thing.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
When an unknown bird cooed and flew over the big willow tree, the sky turned white.
The pale white light slowly dispersed from the horizon and spread all over the world unconsciously. Liang Luoren, who had slept all night against the big willow tree, felt a little uncomfortable due to the dew-soaked collar and slowly opened his eyes.
Eye.
Li Yuanji sat by the bonfire, adding firewood to the bonfire and asked with a smile: "Are you awake?"
Liang Luoren quickly got up and wanted to salute.
Li Yuanji waved to him without waiting for him to salute: "Come and warm yourself by the fire and get rid of the moisture on your body."
Liang Luoren bowed with a complicated expression and walked quickly to the bonfire. While warming himself, he looked at Li Yuanji and hesitated to speak.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Originally I wanted Zhao Chengyong to carry you into the tent, but I was afraid that you would be awakened and think I was going to harm you, so I didn't move."
Liang Luoren stretched out his hands to warm the fire and said hesitantly: "You... guarded the foreign minister all night?"
Li Yuanji smiled and pointed at Ashina Simo, who was still sleeping soundly, and said, "It's not just you, but also him."
Liang Luoren pursed his lips and said: "How can a foreign minister be so virtuous..."
Li Yuanji waved his hands before he could finish his words and said, "You can trust me with your life and property, and I will naturally be responsible for you."
Liang Luoren also wanted to say something.
Li Yuanji waved his hand again and said: "Okay, from now on you will be one of your own. Don't be so polite. Come and try the biscuits I baked. I don't know if they suit your taste."
With that said, Li Yuanji took one of the Hu cakes that had been roasted on the fire for a long time and handed it to Liang Luoren.
Liang Luoren thanked him, but after taking the cake, he didn't eat it. Instead, he struggled and said, "What do you need from the foreign minister?"
Li Yuanji laughed and said, "Do you think I kept you overnight just to get you to do something?"
Liang Luoren said nothing and acquiesced to this statement.
Li Yuanji shook his head dumbfounded and said: "You underestimate me too much. If I need you to do something, I won't coerce you in this way. I will give you an order directly, and I don't think you will either.
reject."
Liang Luoren was obviously relieved when he heard this, and then asked doubtfully: "You really don't need foreign ministers to do anything?"
Li Yuanji stared at Liang Luoren and smiled: "What can you do? Help us inform us when we conquer Liang Shidu, or help us open the city gate when we attack Shuofang City?"
Liang Luoren gritted his teeth and said: "These are not impossible..."
Li Yuanji glanced at Liang Luoren in surprise, and said with a smile: "You might as well..."
Liang Luoren forced a smile and said nothing.
He has chosen to go to the Tang Dynasty, so it is the right thing to do things for the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, if you are on both ends of the spectrum, looking forward and backward, you are courting death.
Li Yuanji shook his head and said: "But we don't need it... If you do this, Su Dingfang will feel that you are insulting him, and Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde will not be happy in the fight."
Liang Luoren stared in shock.
We are fighting, not playing house.
How could we give up the fastest and most convenient way to defeat the enemy just because of Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong?
There are better ways not to use it, but to use the lives of soldiers to pile up, that is to care about human lives!
Liang Luoren couldn't understand Li Yuanji's statement.
Li Yuanji saw the doubts in Liang Luoren's heart and continued: "Liang Guo has long lost the qualification to be our enemy, and it will be easy for us to invade Liangdu.
The reason why I recruit you is not to help me defeat Liang Shidu.
But I want you to gather the civilians of the Liang Kingdom when the Tang Dynasty and the Liang Division are at war, so that they will not suffer the torment of the war."
For the Tang Dynasty, the most valuable thing in the Liang Kingdom today are the civilians of the Liang Kingdom.
They are all descendants of the Han family. They can be easily integrated into the Tang Dynasty and can help the Tang Dynasty enrich the population of the northern border.
Therefore, what the Tang Dynasty cares most about now is the safety of those civilians, not whether it can defeat Liang Shidu and regain the Liang Kingdom.
"You recruited me so that I could protect those civilians?!"
Liang Luoren stared in disbelief.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Why, you don't want to?"
Liang Luoren quickly shook his head and said, "No, I'm not unwilling, I just didn't expect..."
Li Yuanji said: "I didn't expect it, but it's normal..."
After all, since ancient times, when the two countries have fought wars, they have always fought for territory and fought for victory and defeat. They have rarely fought for or conquered civilians.
In the eyes of many people in power in ancient times, territory was far more important than people.
This is one of the reasons why ancient generals slaughtered cities at every turn.
If the ancient rulers cared about the lives and lives of civilians, then such things as massacre of cities at every turn would never have happened.
"Then what do you need the foreign minister to do?"
Liang Luoren asked respectfully after digesting the information in Li Yuanji's words.
A person in power who regards civilians as more important than the outcome of the war is definitely not a bad person and deserves his respect.
Li Yuanji did not rush to answer his question, but asked: "Can't you call yourself a minister?"
Liang Luoren was stunned and quickly said: "I was negligent..."
Li Yuanji waved his hands and said with a smile: "You have just surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. It is normal that you are not used to it. After you go back this time, you only need to find a way to move all the civilians to a few cities that are not taken seriously by the Liang Kingdom to ensure that
As long as they don't get hurt.
Others will be taken care of, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
Liang Luoren hesitated for a moment and said, "I can do more..."
Li Yuanji said with a half-smile: "If you do too much, you won't be able to be a good person in the Liang family in the future."
Liang Luoren is now a traitor to the Liang family. Although his original intention of betraying the Liang family was to preserve the Liang family, the Liang family's people will not understand him. They will only think that he betrayed the Liang family and made Liang's family miserable.
The country fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After they feel stable, they will blame him for all their mistakes and then criticize him.
So the more he does now, the more criticism he will receive in the future.
This is human nature.
After being hurt, the fault will always be blamed on a few people, and then they will be targeted together.
As for whether what a few people do is right or wrong, whether they are helping others or harming others, it doesn't matter at all.
Liang Luoren stood up as soon as he heard this, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he stuttered: "Your Majesty... How can I be so virtuous..."
He thought that Li Yuanji did not allow him to participate in the war between Datang and Liang to protect him, so he was shocked and moved.
If we look at all the powerful people in history, there are very few who can do this for their ministers, especially those who have just surrendered.
Li Yuanji saw that Liang Luoren had misunderstood, but did not explain.
This misunderstanding is beneficial to him, so there is no need to explain it.
Liang Luoren's squeaking voice was a bit loud, which woke up Ashina Simo who was still sleeping soundly.
After Ashina Simo woke up, he suddenly turned over and fell to the ground, and his hands unconsciously reached towards his waist.
That's where he hung his sword from his waist.
Only after he came to his senses completely and saw clearly what was happening around the campfire did he stop.
"His Royal Highness King Yong, General Liang, what are you doing?"
Ashina Simo got up from the ground, patted the dead grass on his body, and asked suspiciously.
As for the clothes that were wet with dew, he didn't care at all.
Liang Luoren was the first to speak and explain: "His Royal Highness King Yong guarded us all night, and I want to express my gratitude to His Highness King Yong."
Ashina Simo was stunned, looked at Li Yuanji in disbelief and said, "His Royal Highness, King Yong, guarded us all night?"
Li Yuanji knew that this was Liang Luoren trying to assist him, so that his attempts to sell people's hearts would not be in vain, so he nodded cooperatively and said: "It's been a night watch, but it's not a big deal. Don't be surprised."
At first glance.”
Ashina Simo opened his mouth, but did not speak.
He, who has been acting naive all this time, can no longer play the role at this moment.
He has obviously never experienced this kind of trick to sell people's hearts, or he has never felt this kind of consideration from his own people.
So he was a little distracted and couldn't pretend anymore.
"Thank you, His Highness King Yong."
After being silent for a while, Ashina Simo spoke uncertainly.
Li Yuanji smiled and invited: "Come, come, come and warm up by the fire together!"
Ashina Simo walked to the campfire like a zombie, found a place to sit down casually, and stretched out his hand to warm the fire with his eyes a little distracted.
Liang Luoren continued to talk about the topic just now, "Your Highness, how can I be so virtuous and capable..."
Li Yuanji waved his hand before he could finish his words and said, "Okay, don't talk about these useless things. Let's warm ourselves up together and dry the moisture on our bodies as soon as possible, otherwise we will get sick."
Liang Luoren closed his mouth, sat down again, and lit the fire.
For a while, the three people beside the fire were warming themselves in silence, and no one spoke.
It wasn't until the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance that Liang Luoren and Ashina Simo, who had been immersed in their own spiritual world, were awakened.
Ashina Simo changed his previous attitude
With a naive look, he said seriously: "Why are you and His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty so kind to me, a Turk?"
Li Yuanji didn't expect Ashina Simo to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "Maybe my father and I think you are from the Tang Dynasty."
Ashina Simo was stunned and couldn't believe what he heard: "I'm from Tang Dynasty?"
Li Yuanji flipped up his curly hair and smiled without saying a word.
Ashina Simo fell silent for a moment.
Because his hair is no different from Li Yuanji's.
They all have long curly brown hair.
They are different from the Han people and also different from the Turks.
Since Li Yuanji is a pure Tang Dynasty man, then he can be one too.
"Although I am not taken seriously in the Turks, I still have 30,000 tents available in Mobei and Monan."
Ashina Simo suddenly spoke.
This is a confession, and it is also a statement of one's attitude to Datang.
His meaning is very simple, that is, if the Tang Dynasty needs it, the 30,000 people under his command can become the sharp sword of the Tang Dynasty, the sharp sword that pierces the Turks.
Li Yuanji smiled from the bottom of his heart, looked at Ashina Simo and said, "I think the title of Prince Heshun is not suitable for you. What do you think of Prince Xinping?
How about you and your tribe living in Xinping from now on?"
