Li Chengqian was trained by Li Shimin for many years.
Moreover, after so many years of training in the imperial court, his mind is no longer comparable to that of ordinary people.
At this moment, his eyes were not looking at Xue Yantuo a few years later, but at Xue Yantuo ten or even hundreds of years later.
If Xue Yantuo continues to develop as it is now.
In the future, like the Northern Desert Turks, they are bound to become a thorn in the side of the Tang Dynasty.
Rather than letting future generations confront each other, it is better to plan in advance now and nip in the cradle any bad things that may happen to the Tang Dynasty.
At the moment, the best entry point for Xue Yantuo's side is nothing more than establishing an heir.
How could Li Chengqian give up such a good opportunity?
If he intervenes and can make Xue Yantuo confused for several years or even decades, it will be a very good result for Datang.
"But……"
"Are they really going to keep their appointment?"
Su Qingling couldn't help but said: "What if they notice it?"
"Even if you notice it, they will still come."
Li Chengqian is very confident about this.
"Sometimes, some people will really do anything for the sake of the throne and power."
"What kind of family, country, and brotherhood are worthless in front of the throne."
"And judging from their previous history, both Ba Zhuo and Yi Mang are this kind of people."
"They are the kind of people who can put everything behind them for their own personal gain..."
Li Chengqian sighed softly and said: "So, there is no need to worry about this at all."
Hearing this, Su Qingling and Lu Wanjie were both stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the two looked at each other knowingly.
How could they not hear the hidden meaning of Li Chengqian's words?
Nothing more than that, he thought of Li Tai and Li Ke again.
Aren't those two masters who would risk everything for the throne?
But at this time, it is useless to say that.
In the next few days, Li Chengqian did nothing and only took his wife there every day. Wandering around.
Xiao Rui also followed Li Chengqian's orders.
…
Five days later.
As expected, Ba Zhuo arrived at Beimo Mansion Office.
And the removal of Zhuo is also very urgent.
He barely even rested his feet and ran straight to the government office to find Xiao Rui.
After meeting Xiao Rui, he said straight to the point in broken Chinese: "Master Xiao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, are you really willing to see me?"
"Yes prince."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been very happy since he heard that the prince came to our department and wanted to buy weapons and supplies to resist the Western Turks."
Xiao Rui smiled and said: "So, let me transmit it to you right now and ask you to come to Bei Desert to discuss this matter."
"but……"
Xiao Rui pretended to hesitate, and then said: "As for whether you can get what you want, it depends on how well you and my Highness talk."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao."
"I come here with full sincerity."
Ba Zhuo said: "And I also know that there is a deep hatred between the prince and the Western Turkic Khan Zhao Youlin."
"I want to promise."
"Within three years, I will deliver Zhao Youlin's head to the Crown Prince and let His Highness drink from it as a jug."
Ba Zhuo promised, patting his chest.
But how could Xiao Rui listen to his promise?
What does his guarantee have to do with Xiao Rui?
His mission was just to call this guy to the Northern Desert.
Therefore, Xiao Rui said directly: "It is better to wait until the prince meets with my highness to say these words."
"That……"
"Then please, Mr. Laoxiao, lead me over."
Ba Zhuo's posture is also very low.
Even, in the end, he imitated the Tang Dynasty and bowed to Xiao Rui.
From this, it is not difficult to see how much this guy wants Li Chengqian's support.
But Xiao Rui didn't say anything, and just took Ba Zhuo out of the government office and went straight to Zhechong Mansion.
…
Bei Mo Zhe Chong Mansion.
In fact, the imperial court did not set up a recruitment point here.
After all, Li Shimin still has some slight resistance to the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Desert.
Even if he allowed the other party to enter the army, he still didn't feel confident leaving the entire border to these people to guard.
Therefore, almost all those responsible for guarding the northern desert border are the imperial central army.
But prejudice is prejudice, and there are still things that should be there.
Therefore, the Zhechong Mansion remained, but to put it bluntly, it was just a government office with no name.
Today is also a coincidence.
Li Chengqian did not take his wife out for fun.
When Xiao Rui came over with Ba Zhuo, Li Chengqian was having lunch.
"I will pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Majesty, Xue Yantuo, the young Khan Bazhuo, please see His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."
Xiao Rui and Ba Zhuo saluted together.
While giving the gift, Ba Zhuo couldn't help but quietly look at Li Chengqian.
You know, Li Chengqian is a well-known figure.
Especially in the Northern Desert, the nomads almost preached him as a god.
Some people can go on the battlefield at the age of eight or nine, some people can kill fierce generals in battle at the age of eleven or twelve, some people can defeat Jia Yanzhang, the second fiercest warrior in the Western Turks, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and so on.
Of course, there are many exaggerations on top of these.
There are so many things about being invincible, being invincible, and so on.
But none of these can compare with the deeds of this guy who led people to massacre Kucha.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Qiuci Kingdom, but after this guy passed by, there were very few people left.
This horrific record is enough to make Li Chengqian "famous all over the world". However, Ba Zhuo did not expect that the guy who could commit such a terrorist act would be such a white-faced scholar-like figure in front of him.
"You know, appearances are the most deceiving."
Seeing this, Li Chengqian raised his eyes slightly, looked at Ba Zhuo and said, "Do you think I'm not like the rumored Tang Dynasty Li Chengqian at all?"
"Don't dare..."
Ba Zhuo also hurriedly bowed and said: "I just feel that His Highness is more heroic than the rumors say. Just one look at it makes people feel convinced..."
"hehe."
Li Chengqian chuckled, then lowered his head and started eating by himself.
"Ba Zhuo..."
While eating, he said: "I have heard your name, more than once."
"The first time I heard your name was when your father Khan specially asked my father for a reward for you."
"My father has named you Xue Yantuo's little khan."
Li Chengqian ate his food and then said: "The second time I heard about it was the year before last."
"At that time, you were the one who led the team to repel the attack from the Western Turk Jiayan Zhang, right?"
Ba Zhuo bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness is absolutely right."
"Jia Yanzhang, that is the second warrior of the Western Turks."
"If you can fight him off, you must be quite capable."
Li Chengqian turned back to look at Ba Zhuo and said, "Considering your ability, why didn't you pursue the victory later?"
After hearing this, Ba Zhuo's expression suddenly changed slightly.
He seemed to be a little angry and said: "My father Khan felt that it was not appropriate to fight to the death with the Western Turks, so he asked me to withdraw."
"If my father Khan had allowed it, today, the head of Zhao Youlin of the Western Turks would have been placed in front of His Highness..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also laughed.
"Your ambition is really quite big."
"I actually thought about destroying the Western Turks..."
When he said the last word, Li Chengqian's eyes instantly became as cold as ice...
