    Chapter 31 Chang'an Ambition (3) In fact, Li Yanqing did meet Feng An.  But the two did not discuss any substantive issues.  In fact, the reason why the two had the opportunity to meet was because Zhang Zhongjian wanted to meet Li Yanqing.  Judging from the situation at the time, Feng Ang still had some hesitation Regardless of whether Emperor Sui Yang was wise or fatuous, he did show a lot of tolerance when it came to dealing with the Feng family.  In particular, Feng Ang's grandmother, Mrs. Xian, was even more favored by the Sui Dynasty.  During the Kaihuang reign, she was named Mrs. Qiaoguo, and during the Renshou reign, Zhuifeng was named Mrs. Chengjing.  This is undoubtedly a huge favor for a woman from an ethnic minority.  You betrayed the Sui Dynasty just like that?  It was indeed difficult for Feng Ang to make up his mind at the time.  However, he did not refuse Li Tang's kindness.  Because judging from the situation at that time, King Li Tang's momentum in the world was extremely powerful, and it was very difficult to stop it.  Therefore, Feng Ang maintained a neutral state, hoping to wait for a suitable opportunity before expressing his position.  Even if Li Yanqing captured Xuanhua, it only made him slightly shaken What really made Feng An make up his mind was Empress Dowager Xiao's attitude.  When Zhang Zhongjian was ordered to come to meet with Li Yanqing, Feng Ang knew that he had to make a decision.  Since Empress Dowager Xiao has decided to leave the world, why should he remain loyal?  However, Feng Ang was still very interesting. After learning that Zhang Zhongjian was in urgent need of sea ships, he immediately secretly transferred more than 60 large sea ships from Yazhou to assist the evacuation of Empress Dowager Xiao.  At the same time, Feng An also sent his second brother Feng Xuan to accompany the Queen Mother Xiao to Nanyang This Feng Xuan is Feng An's half-brother. He has been engaged in overseas trade for many years, and he also has a secret identity, a pirate!  This person is very familiar with the sea route to Nanyang.  At the same time, Feng Xuan also controls a fleet of nearly a hundred ships, and has several secret supply points on the sea route to the South China Sea.  " Empress Dowager Xiao will be much smoother with Feng Xuan's help.  As for Feng An, although he lost part of his strength, he did feel at ease.  "The so-called bankruptcy and disaster avoidance, if we can sever ties with the Sui Dynasty in this way, it can be regarded as solving our worries" Li Yanqing and Feng An met with Haimen Town after meeting Zhang Zhongjian.  The two of them had no intention of hiding it from the public, so it was soon known.  Li Yanqing did it deliberately.  As for Feng Ang, it doesn't matter The current situation is already clear. Now that we have made up our minds, it doesn't make much sense to be coy and secretive.  But in Luo Dou¡¯s view, does the meeting between Li and Feng mean that the two will form an alliance?  Or is there a mystery inside?  Not long after, news came from Lin Su who was far away in Jiaozhi.  Li Yanqing recruited 600 rogues from Yazhou and planned to form an army Sure enough, this guy wanted to monopolize the wealth of Zhenla Kingdom and Tianzhu!  Luo Dou felt tremendous pressure!  Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Yanqing knew he should give this guy some hope.  With a look of embarrassment on his face, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, then sighed and said, "It seems that King Li already knows about this?" Luo Dou was noncommittal, looking at Li Yanqing without saying a word.  "Well, since you, King Li, are being honest, let me explain the matter clearly. Yes, Feng An and I have indeed reached an agreement to form an expeditionary army of about 8,000 people. However, this  This expeditionary force is not owned by the imperial court, but is a private armed force belonging to individuals I call them mercenaries. We will accept the employment of the leader of the Zhenla Kingdom and send troops to the Zhenla Kingdom to capture Shanwen City   King Li must also know that the court has not made up its mind about the Zhenla Kingdom. But according to my information, the court seems to be leaning towards the rebels If we send troops rashly, the court will definitely be dissatisfied.  If this team is hired by the leader of Zhenla, it has nothing to do with the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with you or me." "Eight thousand people?" "Exactly!" Luo Dou frowned and said, "Would Feng Ang agree?  " Li Yanqing couldn't help but laugh, "How could he disagree? I didn't ask him to send his own troops. He could have sent slave prisoners of war into the army. I would appoint generals to lead the army. " "Prisoners of war, slaves?  Originally, it was not impossible for Luo Dou to spend 8,000 yuan at once.  But the problem is that Luo Dou is really reluctant to hand over so many people to Li Yanqing But??Slaves and prisoners of war?  He, Luo Dou, was short of money and things, but he was not short of people!  After Ning Changzhen's death, Luo Dou annexed Qinzhou Li and obtained a large number of slaves and prisoners of war.  Black people are not good at management. Even those who have gained so much don't know how to use it.  Some black people simply sold the slaves, and some even killed them.  After all, so many prisoners of war and slaves will generate huge expenses every day.  But if they were allowed to go to war Luo Dou's little eyes blinked and blinked, and the ideas in his heart gradually became clearer.  "King of Henan, the young king has little talent and knowledge, but he also knows the importance of military strength and speed. As far as I know, Feng Ang does not have many prisoners of war and slaves in his hands. It will probably take a lot of time to gather 8,000 people from him.  "My lord, you once said that the longer the time goes, the more prepared Ning Xuan will be. Well, Xiao Wang is willing to mobilize ten thousand people to cooperate with the prince to form that, what kind of soldiers are they?" "Shen."  Guang reminded Li Yanqing behind him.  "Yes, they are mercenaries!" Luo Dou glanced at Shen Guang gratefully and nodded repeatedly.  "But if the Zhenla Kingdom is captured, the reward" "The reward is the treasury of Shanwen City! The leader of the Zhenla Kingdom has said that the treasury will belong to you and me. But considering the fighting spirit of these prisoners of war and slaves  If it is not strong enough, even if we form a force, it may not be of great use, so I am going to stipulate that all the soldiers' gains on the battlefield can be personal, and 30% of the treasures in the treasury can be sent out for distribution among the soldiers.  , and the rest belongs to Hehe! " Luo Dou couldn't understand Li Yanqing's smile.  ¡°It¡¯s just that it¡¯s a bit heartbreaking for him to lose 30% of his wealth all at once.  Li Yanqing smiled again and said, "King Li is sad about the 30% of the wealth?" "Oh" Although Luo Dou was greedy for money, he was also shy, so his old face was slightly purple.  "O King Li, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward The sons and daughters participating in the war are neither soldiers nor horses of the imperial court, nor are they of much benefit. How can they serve their lives? But King Li does not need to worry. If you want to take back these wealth,  It's not impossible. "I heard that there is a rule among slangs: slaves and prisoners of war can redeem themselves, right?" Luo Dou thought for a while and nodded slightly: "That's true."  , so that the sons and daughters can keep part of their property. At that time, King Li can propose that as long as they pay a certain amount of property, they can regain their freedom. King Li only needs to set the standard higher, and the lost money and property will be released.  Won't he still be the king of Li in the end? " "Brilliant plan, brilliant plan!" After hearing what Li Yanqing said, Luo Dou was immediately overjoyed.  And Li Yanqing also showed an imperceptible sneer "Be proud of yourself, let's see how long you can be proud of it!"
