Chapter 220: The traditional skills of Tang envoys—borrowing troops!
"I'm telling Li Jiyi that many of these Ya people are couples who commit crimes. The Ya people's wives I kidnapped were Ya Po in the past."
"I also asked about their identities. They are all from Sun Boru."
After Tuoba Gong kidnapped the target's wife and children, he interrogated them directly and then came to report.
When Yang Zaiwei heard Ya Po, fear and murderous intent gathered in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth.
Li Yanze's eyes showed a cold light, and he nodded and said: "Only people of the same clan know the habits of the same clan best. If these traffickers are not Supi people, there is really no way to abduct a large number of Supi women. The Ya people who now live in East Street
,Are they all at the boss level?”
Tuoba Gong said: "Yes, they should still control a group of teams, so that they can eat and drink without worries."
Li Yan said: "Have those subordinates given their account?"
Tuoba Gong said: "Ya Po said that the current team is under the management of her husband, but she doesn't know it. I see her eyes dodge, she is very cunning, it must be a lie!"
Li Yan said: "Ask this Ya woman again. Among the Ya people living in East Street now, which family has the richest life."
Tuoba Gong took the order and left, and came back shortly to report: "She said it was the easternmost household. The head of the household was named Duo Ren. He was the richest. It was once said that he would be rewarded with a noble surname. He should be released to improve his wealth.
rumor."
Li Yan thought to himself that maybe that was not a rumor, and nodded: "Very good, don't forget to capture her husband as well, so that the family can be in order."
Tuoba Gong said: "I'm sure, these Ya family members will be handed over to us."
Li Yan stood up: "This is well done, thank you!"
Tuoba Gong held back his joy and quickly bowed his hands: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I'm lucky to be able to serve Li Jiyi!"
Li Yan said: "Then we won't bother you!"
Yang Zaiwei followed him out of the mansion and asked doubtfully: "This Dangxiang merchant still has some tricks. Now we are short of manpower. Why not let him and the Shu merchant's caravan members participate?"
Li Yan shook his head: "These businessmen don't know that the Gar family and secret guards are involved behind this matter. They thought it was just to clean up a group of Ya people, otherwise their attitude would not be so positive."
Yang Zaiwei sneered: "So what? They have already done it, is there still a way to go back?"
Li Yan said calmly: "Only by paying equal attention to kindness and power can we be able to work at the top and bottom. My philosophy of doing things is not to rely on pure coercion. This is Tubo after all, let alone test the bottom line of businessmen."
Yang Zaiwei snorted: "Li Yuanfang, you are really cautious!"
Li Yan ignored him and rode towards East Street.
When the two of them arrived outside Duoren's mansion, they saw the white walls and red door. It was very majestic and was not much inferior to ordinary mansions in Chang'an.
Li Yan's eyes flashed with cold light: "Under the protection of the Degar family, this trafficker's family lives a healthy life and enjoys it very much in the noble neighborhood. Selling one's life for the secret guards is equivalent to selling one's life for the Yabo people. Am I wrong in what I said before?"
Yang Zaiwei had nothing to say. He became so angry that he jumped straight into the house.
"Who...ah!!"
A rapid scream sounded.
As soon as Li Yan entered the mansion, he saw that Yang Zaiwei had killed three guards in a row.
After being seriously injured, his strength was not as good as before, and he did not have the weapons in hand.
But even so, Yang Zaiwei's body is the most powerful killer tool.
With fists, elbows and feet, he attacked closely and his strikes were fatal. He rushed in bloody all the way.
Li Yan put his hands behind his back and walked leisurely inside, but kept staring at Yang Zaiwei.
Staring at his every move, trying to figure out how to move his energy based on the force damage and howling wind.
As soon as Yang Zaiwei entered the inner house, he saw an old man standing in front of the hall from a distance, shouting sternly: "Quick! Capture the thief who broke in!!"
This is obviously the owner of this place, Duo Ren. He is a well-dressed man with a majestic beard and a dignified appearance.
Following his order, forty or fifty guards came out from the left and right, including more than a dozen people wearing armor.
Although in the eyes of the Tang people, it couldn't be more shabby, but for a Tubo man without aristocratic status, this was already an amazing personal guard.
Li Yan's hand reached for the chain knife.
…
Half a quarter of an hour later, Duo Ren looked at the corpses on the ground and collapsed to the ground in fear, unable to even scream.
Yang Zaiwei entered the inner house, drove the old man's wives, concubines, and more than a dozen children into a room, and lit a torch outside: "You robbed a group of Sun Boru women and sent them to where?"
Duo Ren's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he closed his eyes miserably: "Just kill me, I can't possibly say that."
Yang Zaiwei said: "If you don't tell me, I will throw down the torch and burn your wife, children, and children to death!"
Duo Ren said without hesitation: "You can just burn them. I told them they would die too, and their deaths would be even worse. It would be better to burn them."
Li Yan, who did not understand Tubo dialect, asked from the side: "What are you talking about?"
Yang Zaiwei sneered: "He would rather his wife and children be burned to death than hand over the place. If he says it, his wife and children will die even more miserably. Hey, I will let his whole family die even more miserably!"
Li Yan nodded slightly: "This is good news. It means that this person does know the location. However, this person is stubbornly resisting. The interrogation may take a lot of effort."
Yang Zaiwei sneered: "This Yaman is so stubborn right now, I will make his life worse than death right away. He will say whatever he wants!"
Li Yan said in a long voice: "Really?"
"Li Yuanfang, watch out!"
Yang Zaiwei put out the torch, dragged Duo Ren to the side, and began to prove himself.
He took a deep breath and pointed his fingers at the dignified-looking man one after another like lightning.
Li Yan concentrated and watched as Duo Ren quickly started to tremble and let out a howl that was too shrill to sound like a human voice.
After a very short period of time, Duo Ren, who had just been so determined to close his eyes and wait for death, burst into tears and writhed on the ground like an insect.
The unparalleled pain destroyed his psychological defense. Yaren shouted repeatedly: "I said! I said! Spare me!"
Yang Zaiwei said proudly: "How? Let alone ordinary people like this, even masters who have practiced strength cannot withstand my torture!"
Li Yan had no sympathy for Yaren's screams, but he put his hand on his back, sensed the energy rushing through his body, and said coldly: "Have you modified Weishi Jin's method of transporting energy?"
Yang Zaiwei nodded: "So what? The unique skills of each sect have never been static. As the strong men of the past dynasties introduced the old and brought forth the new, they have become prosperous now!"
Li Yan said: "Master Xuanzang's consciousness-only power was intended to strengthen the five senses and six senses of the human body, but now it has turned into destroying the five senses of the human body and turned it into a form of torture. Is this what you are trying to innovate?"
Yang Zaiwei sneered: "Don't you think I'm a good person? As an assassin, if I don't use torture, could I turn into a martial arts that prolongs life like Guangming Jin?"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "You have a very detailed understanding of each discipline's strength. It doesn't matter. Martial arts and strength are all tools. If you use them properly, they will be righteous, and if you use them wrongly, they will be wrong. There is really no need to argue. You will see for yourself in the future! You can ask first, secretly
Where exactly are the Wei family members arranged?"
As Duo Ren spoke intermittently, Li Yan spread out a simple topographic map he drew, marked the location he told, and sighed: "No surprise, it is indeed a carefully selected location."
Yang Zaiwei's head came over, and Li Yan pointed at it: "This place is located in the middle of the two Qianhu places, and these Guri Qianhu and Sanan Qianhu are die-hard loyalists of the Gar family. They led the team before
They are the ones blocking the palace and creating opportunities for your assassination."
Yang Zaiwei frowned: "Then how to save people? As long as there is a little movement from this place, the two thousand households on the left and right will send people there immediately. Unless there is an army under his command to directly wipe out the two thousand households, otherwise the people will be arrested even if they are rescued.
go back!"
Li Yan said: "Then let's borrow an army."
Yang Zaiwei was stunned: "Borrowing the army? Are you kidding me?"
Li Yandao: "During the Zhenguan period, there was an envoy from the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance. Have you heard of his deeds?"
Yang Zaiwei shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
Li Yan began to narrate: "When Wang Xuance was on his mission, the heads of many countries in Tianzhu sent envoys with their property and prepared to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty with them."
"Unexpectedly, the King of Tianzhu died, and the country was in chaos. Powerful ministers usurped the throne, and troops were sent to intercept. The envoys were either killed or captured, and the property contributed by various countries was also plundered."
"Wang Xuance fled and entered Tubo, Niboluo and other places. In the name of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he issued a message, recruited an army, and returned to Central Tianzhu. He killed the powerful officials and destroyed the country. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he was granted the title of Cong Wu by Taizong.
The noble Chaosan doctor."
The story of Wang Xuance destroying a country by one man was widely publicized later. Many people talked about it and defended Wang Xuance. They thought he was so majestic, so why didn't Li Shimin give him a large reward?
It's very simple. In that battle, Wang Xuance borrowed troops from Tubo and other countries in the name of the Tang Dynasty to destroy Zhongtianzhu. Then Tubo received substantial benefits. The Tang Dynasty only had a group of noble prisoners who were escorted back to the country by Wang Xuance.
If he were an emperor like Yang Guang who loved great achievements, he might have made a big deal about it, but Li Shimin had already made enough external achievements.
Maybe he felt that it was not worthwhile to benefit the enemy country, or maybe he didn't pay attention to Zhongtianzhu at all. Anyway, after Wang Xuance returned to the court, his rank was not as high as Li Yan's Dingyuan General.
Therefore, in this era, Wang Xuance, like Princess Wencheng, received no attention at all within the Tang Dynasty. They were both examples of people who became famous only in later generations.
When Li Yan first heard about this deed, he felt that it was extremely majestic for one man to destroy a country. Later, he thought that it was a vain claim and he supported the enemy country.
Nowadays, he looks at the problem more and more comprehensively: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although the population of Central Tianzhu has been invaded by Tubo, it cannot be said to be much stronger. Wang Xuance maintains the authority of the Tang Dynasty and is powerful in Tianzhu."
, it is to set an example for the envoy of Tang Dynasty, this is very important."
Yang Zaiwei was shocked when he heard this. This Tang Dynasty envoy was more terrifying than the general: "So you are going to follow the story of the past? From which side can you borrow troops?"
Li Yan said: "Of course they are Sun Poru's Supi soldiers. Their lives have been too hard these years. The upper class has been suppressed and the lower class has been robbed. I, the Tang Dynasty, can't stand it anymore. What we are destroying are actually evil neighbors. We are willing to make friends with people like Tuyuhun."
As such a friendly neighbor, we should also help our daughter country rise up to resist this time!"
