Chapter four hundred and ninety fourth special task
"Men's daughters meet His Highness the Eastern Prince." When Princess Li saw Han Jian, he greeted him with a fluent Central Plains accent.
Han Jian also felt that it was a little different. After all, in terms of appearance, the Princess Li was still very different from the women in the Central Plains, but in terms of accent, it was impossible to tell the difference between her and the women in the Central Plains. She should have lived in Central Plains all year round. After all, although the old country of Xiliang took the Central Plains question as its foundation, it had its own language and writing.
Han Jian looked at the woman in black who was bowing in front of him and said, "This must be the princess of the old country of Xiliang. Fortunately."
"I dare not take it." The woman saluted, "Minister Li Yun, I have met His Highness the Eastern King."
Han Jian silently recited the name "Li Yun" and asked, "Is this your original name?"
"That's right." Li Yun said, "The old people in Xiliang all had the names of Middle Earth, and the names mentioned by the people in the folk are no different from those of the people in Xiliang."
"Oh." Han Jian nodded and understood.
He didn't care what Li Yun was called. Since it was found by Mrs. Luo, even if it was a kind of contact, perhaps Li Yun wanted to use Mrs. Luo to complete the restoration of the Li family, and Mrs. Luo wanted to use Li Yun's identity to attract more Xiliang people. Whether the two hit it off or knew each other or did they know each other before, Han Jian didn't know.
"Miss Li, sit down." Han Jian pointed to the chair next to him and said.
"How can a woman sit in front of the hall? Aunt Luo, the woman said something to her. Why don't she tell her? It's better to pass it on to Aunt Luo." Li Yun suddenly looked at Mrs. Luo on the side and said.
Han Jian thought about the title "Auntie Luo" and thought to himself that it was the same as the big and small Xiliu. This Li Yun was temporarily dependent on someone else and recognized his relatives?
"Yeah." Mrs. Luo nodded slightly and looked at Han Jian and said, "Young Master, that's right. My princess wants to surrender to Your Highness and become your vassal. I only hope that Your Highness can take in."
"Oh? How to join?" Han Jian pretended to be surprised, but this was not beyond his expectations. Since Li Yun came, there were probably two ways to establish a relationship with the Eastern Prince's Mansion. One was to form an alliance, and the other was to join. Mrs. Luo was to join. No matter how big Li Yun came from, he was just a princess who lost his country. With her as an alliance with Han Jian, Han Jian would definitely not accept it.
Mrs. Luo wanted to say it, but she felt it was inconvenient, so she said to Li Yun: "It's better for the princess to tell her personally."
Han Jian saw that the two of them were pushing each other around, as if they couldn't say anything. He also felt strange in his heart. Logically speaking, Mrs. Luo wanted to use Li Yun's identity. I guess again, is there any huge force behind Li Yun?
Li Yun responded and took two steps forward and said, "The young woman has arranged a lot of people in Guanzhong. When His Highness sends troops to Guanzhong, he can help His Highness achieve great things in one go. The young woman... and the young woman's staff are willing to return to the dispatch of His Highness and drive him to the emperor, and he will die."
The conditions were quite attractive. Han Jian thought about it and found that although Mrs. Luo had many subordinates, they were all doing business. The strongest group of people under Mrs. Luo were all from the Eastern Branch of the former Xiliang branch. He was dispatched by Mrs. Luo, but he was not loyal to Mrs. Luo, and Mrs. Luo was not the master of these people.
Li Yun's situation is different. Li Yun's men are like dead soldiers, and they are generally obeyed her orders. Moreover, Li Yun has a task of giving birth to a mother's mother, which is to restore the country. With the background of royal family and nobles, it is easy to recruit people. With Madam Luo's financial support, it is not difficult to raise a group of people.
"How many people?" Han Jian asked directly without saying nonsense.
Li Yun thought for a while and bowed: "Nine hundred people."
"Nine hundred people say more or less, but only nine hundred people, why do Miss Li think that I will accept your surrender?"
Li Yun didn't say anything, and Han Jian's meaning was obviously a bit despised by the nine hundred men who looked down on her.
However, as we all know, Xiliang Kingdom itself is just a small country, with 900 people being a great force. When the entire Xiliang Kingdom was strong, the entire nation had only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers. Now, the total number of people from all the Eastern and Western branches of the former Xiliang divisions may not be four or five thousand.
Mrs. Luo wanted to say something but was stopped by Han Jian.
Han Jian asked, "I wonder what the conditions for Miss Li to surrender are for? After Xiliang restored the country, Miss Li was preparing to be the lord of a country?"
"The young lady dares not." Li Yun said, "Xiliang is now annexed by the Great Wei, and it is no longer a country. If His Highness can pacify the old land of Xiliang in the future, the young lady will only ask His Highness to reward this place to the young lady. The young lady should do her best to govern the area for His Highness. We will never let His Highness down."
Han Jian smiled again, and Li Yun said as if he had agreed.
Han Jian said: "Miss Li seems to have forgotten one thing. You are just a princess who has lost your country. Even if you have someone under him, you are not worth mentioning in front of so many soldiers in the Central Plains. Why should I be troubled by myself? Wouldn't it be better to send generals to garrison in the future?"
Li Yun said calmly: "But in the future, your highness wants to make the old people from Liang Kingdom, who are other than the people, continue to run for restoring the country like today, and cause some trouble for Your Highness?"
Han Jian looked cold and squinted at Li Yun. This woman was calm and firm. This should be a kind of fearless tenacity that had been cultivated by long-term intrigue and always thinking about restoring the country.
Seeing that Han Jian was silent, Li Yun said, "Your Highness should be very clear that our old people in Liang Kingdom are the most loyal to the Lord. Since the young woman is sincerely coming to join us, she will be driven by your Highness in the future and dare not neglect. The young woman only wants to be around His Highness and is not afraid to ask for the restoration of the country in the future. Your Highness does not need to worry that the young woman will have a strange intention. If there is really that day, not to mention His Highness, even Aunt Luo, she will not let the young woman go..."
Han Jian nodded slightly, looked at Mrs. Luo and said, "Madam, what do you think?"
"I dare not talk nonsense, but I can guarantee that the princess is sincere. Moreover, the princess's men do not belong to the old subordinates of Xiliang, but are alone, so your highness does not have to worry about these people facing each other..."
Han Jian said: "That's Miss Li's own style?"
"The young women are not prepared to form their own faction. In the future, they will be from the Eastern Prince's Mansion. His Highness has the right to deal with life and death, so he dare not neglect anything."
Han Jian nodded again and said, "I heard that your dead soldiers in Xiliang Kingdom are very brave and very strong, but I just didn't have the chance to see you."
"If your highness is interested, the civilian girl is willing to bring some dead soldiers to drive your highness..."
Han Jian smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Li, I will send you a task now. If your people can help me complete it, then I will accept the matter of surrender. Moreover, if the old land of Xiliang is restored in the future, I will submit to the court and sign Miss Li as King Xiliang. All the old land of Xiliang belongs to Miss Li, and the hereditary substitution will be hereditary."
Li Yun's face suddenly became a little nervous. The conditions offered by Han Jian were obviously very similar to her. Although she has someone in hand now, she is still 108,000 miles away from restoring the country. The troops of the Xiwang Army in Guanzhong alone are based on ten thousand. Xiliang has not achieved any results for so many years. The main reason is that the power is too different and there is no chance. But if the Eastern King agrees, the situation will be different. The number of soldiers and horses of the Eastern King's Mansion is originally under the Western King's Mansion, but after these battles and with the strong support of the Southern King's Mansion, it is not difficult for the Eastern King's Mansion to pacify the old land of Xiliang in the north with the banner of the court.
"The young woman is willing to be driven by His Highness." Li Yun expressed his opinion.
"Ms. Li first listen to my mission before making this statement." Han Jian said, "What I asked you to do is to kill someone for me. Not only do you want to kill him, but you also want to kidnap someone alive. I wonder if Miss Li is willing to accept it?"
Li Yun's face changed a little. She already felt that the task arranged by Han Jian was not simple. If Han Jian asked her to kill the Western King or the Northern King, it would be unreasonable. Mrs. Luo had planned to assassinate the Western King before, but the final result was just a bamboo basket to fetch water.
"Who is Your Highness going to kill? Who is tied up?" Li Yun raised his head slightly and looked at Han Jian and asked.
"This person, Miss Li, should have no intersection. She is also a prince of the court. Unfortunately, she has lost power and has now gone to Beichuan with the pseudo-emperor. Mrs. Luo should know this person, right?" Han Jian said, and looked at Mrs. Luo again.
Mrs. Luo said, "What the young master said is the Prince of Yanning?"
"It's this old man." Han Jian said, "This Prince Yanning was originally a loyal minister of Your Majesty. Unfortunately, when the traitor usurped the throne, he surrendered to the traitor and secretly communicated with the Northern Prince's Mansion. Do you think such a person can be tolerated by me, and my Majesty can tolerate me? And I am not suitable to send someone to kill such a person, so I asked Miss Li to do it for me."
"The person you want to kill is the person you want to kill, and the woman you want to kill will do your best."
Li Yun said, but he felt that things were difficult to handle. Even if the Prince of Yanning lost power, he was once the prince of the court. She now has a lot of people, but most of them are in Guanzhong. They have to be transferred to Beichuan, and the mountains are long and the rivers are far away. There will be no results in a few months.
But then again, compared to the fact that Xiliang has not achieved results for more than 20 years of restoration, what can the waiting for these few months be counted? Moreover, the timeline for the restoration of Xiliang is not calculated by her killing the Prince of Yanning, but by looking at when the Eastern Palace will pacify Guanzhong. If the Eastern Palace really pacified Guanzhong before she sent someone to assassinate Yanning, she would have no shame to beg the Eastern Palace to take in her old Xiliang country.
"Let me finish it first." Han Jian said, "In addition to asking you to kill Prince Yanning, I also want you to kidnap someone and come back. I am the granddaughter of Prince Yanning. This person is very important to me. Those who want to live, not those who cannot die, do you understand?"
"Yes." Li Yun responded, wondering in his heart, Prince Yanning's granddaughter? Could it be that Prince Dong fell in love with someone else's girl and Prince Yanning disagreed, so he had this intention to kill?
But no matter what, she can't ask. Now she can only wait to go back and ask Mrs. Luo clearly. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
