Chapter 1604 Confucianism Sect Out (1)
? Chapter 1604
"My lord, I just received a letter from Sabolo Khan of Western Turkic, severely condemning our attack on Western Turkic, and at the same time requesting that my lord must resolve this matter no matter what, and release those two Western Turkic soldiers back to Western Turkic. "
While speaking, the Confucian master handed over the letter in his hand.
Li Junxian took it, just glanced at it, and was instantly attracted by the huge square imprint on the document. This is the seal of the Khan made by the Western Turkic Khanate in imitation of China.
"Brother, what should we do?"
In the room, the girl in white suddenly spoke, with an extremely dignified expression, and everyone around her also looked dignified.
"Young master, the matter of the picket team has just passed, and the king of the foreign land provoked the border quarrel. If this continues, the hope of our Confucianism for thousands of years, the ideal that generations of leaders want to realize, will be in the hands of the king of the foreign land Destroyed once!"
A Confucian master said with hatred.
"However, we don't have any evidence at all now. So far, everything is just the one-sided words of Saboluo Khan and that side. As long as the foreign land king denies it, we have nothing to do with him."
Song Lao suddenly spoke, his face full of worry.
For a moment, everyone in the study was silent. Indeed, although the incident on the northern border was full of turmoil and attracted attention from all directions, there was no evidence from the Confucian sect to prove that Wang Chong did it.
"Not only that, even if it is proved that the foreign king did it, we have nothing to do with him. It is recorded in the laws of the empire that as long as the family, including the prince, does not have more than 1,000 private soldiers, it is not considered a violation." According to the regulations, if the 400 troops are within the limit, as long as the foreign king says that those people are his private soldiers, we have no authority to govern them. What's more troublesome is that none of the regulations of the Tang Dynasty mentioned killing the barbarians. Or attacking the regular army of the enemy country violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, in other words, even if we have evidence in our hands, we cannot attack him!"
Another Confucian master said in a deep voice, with a very unwilling expression on his face. Wang Chong only had 400 troops, and the entire Confucianism was caught in a dilemma.
There was a dead silence in the room, Li Junxian rubbed the center of his brows vigorously, the corners of his brows twitched unceasingly.
Wang Chong, it's Wang Chong again! This name seems to be endless, and he caused far more troubles to the Confucian School alone than the entire military family.
"Brother,
It is impossible for us to ignore Sabolo Khan's documents. If this matter is not handled properly, our early negotiations with Western Turks will be in vain! "
The girl in white said in a low voice.
The room was quiet, everyone was waiting for Li Junxian's order.
"I don't care about that much anymore, pass my order, and all Confucian masters are dispatched! In addition, contact the King of Qi and the First Prince, and mobilize all the troops we can mobilize in the city. As long as you find the cavalry attacking the Western Turkic Army, arrest it immediately! "
Li Junxian raised his head, his eyes glaring brightly.
"No matter what, we must not back down anymore! We must not indulge him any longer. I will fully bear any consequences!"
"Yes, son!"
And following Li Junxian's voice, the masters of the entire Confucianism sect immediately heard the news, and quickly radiated from Shaozhang's counselor's mansion, closely monitoring all movements on the westbound road.
...
"My lord, the capital is ahead! When we arrive at the capital, everything will be over!"
At the same time, when Li Junxian and Confucian masters were setting up defenses in various cities, a hundred miles outside the capital, a black armored cavalry rode forward and whispered in the ear of the general with long white tassels.
The latter didn't speak, but just looked around. In the distance, there was a majestic city with a majestic atmosphere, and a faint line appeared on the horizon. There is a lot of people in it, even if it is far away, you can feel the prosperity in it.
"Don't be careless, the safer it is, the more dangerous it is. If you don't hand these two barbarians into the hands of the prince, you should never take it lightly."
The general with long white tassels said in a deep voice.
"Yes, my lord!"
Hearing the words of the white long-tasseled military general, everyone behind him responded with a loud bang.
Along the way, everyone has a deep understanding of this sentence. At first, everyone thought that the biggest danger of this operation was to advance beyond the Great Wall and capture the culprits who slaughtered the village alive from 12,000 people. But it was only when he came back that he realized that the real danger was on the way back.
Against the 12,000-strong Turkic army, no one suffered any loss, but on the way back, when they entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, a group of 400 people lost a lot.
"Let's go! Keep an eye on those two prisoners, and nothing will go wrong before returning to the capital!"
The general with long white tassels gave an order, and the group rushed to escort Hulugan and Ashid towards the capital.
"Clatter!"
However, not many people noticed that at the same time as they galloped out, several carrier pigeons flapped their wings and quickly headed in the direction of the capital.
"My lord, I found the trail of the cavalry, and it is less than sixty miles away from the capital. There is still more than an hour at most, and it should arrive at the west city gate!"
The carrier pigeon flew down, and a master of Confucianism made three steps in parallel, walked to Li Junxian in a hurry, bowed and said.
"Explore again! Keep a close eye on that group of cavalrymen and tell them that I must keep track of their movements at all times, and there must be no mistakes."
At the gate of the west city, Li Junxian was dressed in white Confucian clothes, with an elegant demeanor, standing there with his eyes slightly closed, motionless.
"Yes, son!"
The latter lowered his head and bowed in response.
"Also, what's going on at the Wang family's side?"
Li Junxian looked pensive, and spoke again.
"According to your son's instructions, we have closely monitored the surroundings of the Wang's mansion. All the pigeons flying to the Wang's mansion were shot down by us before they approached the mansion. In addition, we have found a master who is good at imitating notes and wrote a Sending a letter to the foreign land king delayed the arrival of this iron cavalry by two hours, at least within two hours, the foreign land king will not notice anything."
The master of Confucianism said in a low voice.
For this trip, the Confucian sect has already fully prepared, and everything that should be considered has been fully considered.
"In addition, just in case, we have also sent people to all four city gates, absolutely foolproof."
"Very well, let me closely monitor the movement of the foreign king. In addition, keep an eye on his subordinates. Once they find him out of the mansion, attack those subordinates immediately. If necessary, they can be seriously injured. The foreign king must protect his weaknesses because of this." Delay, I want you to keep him at all costs."
Li Junxian said in a deep voice. Border incidents are of great importance, and we will not hesitate to use some small means if necessary.
"Yes, son!"
The Confucian masters who reported the news flew away quickly, and at the same time, no matter if it was the carrier pigeons flying to Wang Chong's mansion, or the eagle sparrows flying out of Wang Chong's mansion to deliver news, not many people knew that they were on the way. When they flew over the capital, they were all intercepted by some special falcons.
Confucianists have also accumulated a unique set of methods for raising hawks and sparrows over thousands of years.
This method does not need to choose thousands of options to catch the most ferocious Hai Dongqing or the big eating falcon, but through artificial domestication, supplemented by special sharp claws made by Confucian skilled craftsmen. The chance of success of this method is not too high, but it is enough for Confucianists to obtain some special falcons to intercept some important information.
——Information has an extremely important position in any dynasty. Without these means, it would be difficult for Confucianism to develop.
On the outskirts of the capital, the Tang cavalry, all in black armor, was getting faster and faster, and it was getting closer and closer to the capital.
"Young master, the other party's whereabouts have been confirmed, and it is only forty miles away from the west gate!"
"My lord, I found the other party's trace, and it's less than thirty miles away from us!"
"I found the target, and it's only ten miles away from us..."
...
At the gate of the west city, countless carrier pigeons rushed back and forth, constantly reporting the position of the cavalry, and as time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense. All Confucianism masters are hiding around, openly or secretly, waiting for the arrival of the last moment.
During the whole process, the masters of the Confucian sect kept watching the Tang cavalry team, making sure that the other party and the two barbarian generals, Ashid and Hulugan, were within their field of vision.
"My lord, there has been movement in the Wang's mansion. Wang Chong's subordinate Eagle seems to have sensed something is wrong, and has already galloped towards the Wang's mansion."
And at this moment, news also came from the Confucian master who was monitoring Wang Chong's side. The atmosphere became more and more tense, and all eyes were on Li Junxian, who was dressed in white and had a refined temperament.
"Stop him!"
At this moment, Li Junxian finally opened his eyes, and a frightening cold light burst out from his eyes.
"But son, now in broad daylight, eagles are galloping on the street, and there are so many people to see!"
The Confucian master who reported the report hesitated.
"Stop it too!"
Li Junxian said categorically:
"Something happened, I'll deal with it. Everyone is ready to take down Ashid and Hurugan immediately!"
Li Jun's envious gaze is incomparably Shenxiong.
At this moment, horseshoes burst out like thunder, appeared on the horizon, and were coming here.
"Everyone is ready, do it now!"
Seeing the iron cavalry, without the slightest hesitation, Li Junxian suddenly got on his horse and galloped towards the opposite side. At the same time, the net of heaven and earth that the Confucian sect had set up at the gate of the west city also shrunk rapidly, and King Qi's soldiers and horses in the prison temple and the forbidden army that the eldest prince could mobilize in the court were all mobilized.
"My lord, it's not good, the situation has changed!"
Outside the west city gate, a black-armored cavalry of the Tang Dynasty felt something, and his expression changed suddenly. The leading white general with long tassels also sank in his heart.
"Notify the prince immediately, and everyone else will retreat!"
"Anyone who comes listens to the order and stops immediately. Counselor Shaozhang of the Great Tang Dynasty is here to hand over Hulugan and Ashide. Anyone who violates the order will be severely punished!"
At this moment, a loud roar came from a distance like thunder. The general of the Tang Dynasty with white long tassels reacted very quickly, but the opponent's reaction was faster than him.
