In the hearts of Saleh and others, the purpose of Li Hong's career was to bury seeds that allowed them to continue to fight with each other, fight openly and secretly, and continue to separate the vassal states and fight incessantly.
Therefore, when he and Saleh bet with Saleh on who Li Cheng would prefer in the future, Li Hong did not hesitate to take the city of Ji Ling as a bet. If Li Cheng fell for Dashi, Li Hong was willing to offer his hands to the land nearly 100 miles east of the city, and even allow Dashi to expand its territory to the four towns in Anxi.
And if Li Cheng is still steadfast as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, then the kordo family will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Dashi royal family. The vast territory 300 Li west of the Jiling city will belong to the Tang Dynasty!
This also makes the fragrance of tea, even Li Lingyue, Li Xian and others feel stunned and unimaginable. It is the first time that they see that they bet on their own territory and sign a contract if they are willing to gamble and admit defeat.
For Li Lingyue and Li Xian, this contract may not have any value or reference value, but for Saleh and others, the meaning is completely different.
Whether it is Saleh or Hassan, or Sudan, including Zubair of kordo family, who has always been close to the Tang Dynasty, it is completely impossible to recognize the value of this contract.
However, the so-called "happy and sad" gambling contract, which seems careless, extremely irresponsible and playful, has given Saleh the confidence to look up to the sky and laugh. It also provides Zubair with a meaningful but stable reassurance.
What the contract conveyed to Zubair was that, no matter Anxi of the Tang Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, the most important emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the contract was still in force, then Saleh and his father avier were the orthodoxy of Dashi, and naturally the Tang Dynasty would not give up and continue to support the kordo family.
Therefore, if the Sudan united with Hassan and wanted to destroy Saleh together, it would give Zubair in the east of Dashi and the supporting forces behind him to attack them in the Tang Dynasty and give them a good reason to be loyal to the king and the emperor of Qing Dynasty.
Under the contract signed between Li Hong and Saleh, Dashi's current chaos is more like a support for the legitimacy of Saleh's royal family and a warning to Sudan and Hassan.
As long as the Tang Dynasty has always acknowledged the existence of this gambling agreement, the royal family of Saleh, although it can not fully take the initiative in the situation of disputes among the princes, will never go to extinction, because the extinction means that the cordo family may become the ultimate beneficiary with the support of the Tang Dynasty.
Another reason why the contract made Sudan want to cry without tears and Hassan's face gloomy and heavy was that, given the existence of the contract, as long as Li Hong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, nodded, the two of them, Saleh in the West and Zubair in the East, could reach a consensus, and then attack Sudan and Hassan from the left and right.
Hassan is confident that he can find a life under the dual pressure of Zubair and Saleh, and find the invincibility of the family. However, the premise is that the iron hoofs and guns of the Tang Dynasty will not intervene.
Sudan, on the other hand, is not so lucky. As long as Saleh and Zubair attack each other, the weakest Sudan will be the first to resist the two-sided attack.
So this contract, and the seemingly playful bet, put Dashi in an unprecedented predicament. Li Hong regarded the contract as a contract between Dashi and the Tang Dynasty. Then Hassan and Sudan could not unite, and Hassan could not destroy the orthodox royal family of Dashi on the strength of his family, unless he thought he was strong enough to resist Heng Keduo family, as well as the Tang Dynasty, even add a poor bug: Sudan.
However, Saleh was also constrained by the fact that once the superior, powerful and unreasonable, was no different from bandits, bandits and horse thieves, Li Hong, who gave up the existence and value of the contract and denied the meaning of the contract. In a word, then Saleh's days would have to go back to the past and be ravaged by Sudan and Hassan in turn Once again, they are in a miserable situation.
Therefore, the contract was like shackles and handcuffs to the four big families of Dashi, which constrained them to stabilize the current situation and not to expand their power. Meanwhile, Dashi was in a state of fragmentation until Li Cheng, king of Jiling, arrived at the fiefdom of Jiling city.
At least the four people of Dashi can see that this is a big food Empire created by Li Hong for his son, the future king of Jiling. There is no big war and no small war. As a result, they have to concentrate on another crucial decisive battle after nearly ten years.
They knew that Li Hong was definitely not a man of integrity, but an insidious, cruel, despicable and shameless person. They had been guarding against Li Hong's attack on them, but in the end, they still had to go into the trap.
What's more, they know it's a trap, but they still have to drill into the dilemma. The reason is that they give up their prejudices about each other and come to the Tang Dynasty by chance, hoping to get a breakthrough to end the dispute over big food. However, none of them thought that in the end, it was stealing chickens instead of eroding a handful of rice, Li Hong gave them a lot of bitterness.There are Li Lingyue and Li Xian in the carriage, but without Tianxiang and tea sleeves, Li Lingyue is still sitting on the side next to Li Hong, and Li Xian is sitting opposite them. The carriage has already driven out of the square. Li Xian, who was originally frowning, has gradually loosened his eyebrows.
"Isn't it risky for you to do so? Aren't you afraid that the four of them are twisted into a rope? " Li Xian thought about it for a while, but he still expressed his worries.
"If they don't come to Datang, I will worry that they will be twisted into a rope. The civil strife of Dashi has been going on for nearly ten years. Kordo, Saleh, Hassan and Sudan have been tired of war. If they can come to Tang together, it shows that they have a tendency of armistice. If we don't intervene, even the kordo family may leave us, which will make them big four When the family is united in the big food, we will not be able to get any soup. " Li Hong rubbed some tired cheeks and said that he seemed to have solved the problem easily, but who knows that he and the military department have been rehearsing for several days and nights to come up with such a strategy.
"But if they recognize the contract, won't they also unite?" Li Xian thought for a moment, or continued to ask.
"No, that contract is the proof that Datang exists between their four families. With this contract, they can't bypass this contract. And this contract, from our point of view, the most important thing is that it still tightly controls the trend of the cordo family moving closer to the three of them. And no matter what happens in the future, the kordo family will never be regarded as reliable allies by the other three families, because behind them are the Ji Ling City and the Tang Dynasty. " Li Hong is a little tired, leaning against the bed Leng light said.
"Will the other three unite and give up the cordo family?" Li Lingyue thought about it for a while and asked with some worries.
"That's even worse. Big cannibals are reluctant to give us 300 li of territory for nothing. What's more, with the existence of this contract, Saleh's intention of peace talks with Hassan and Sudan has been weakened."
"Yes, because of this contract, Saleh realized that even if he had been struggling in the past ten years, even if he had withdrawn the troops from the defense lines of Hassan and Sudan, Hassan and Sudan would not act rashly, because they have your Sacred Contract in hand. Once they want to wait for an opportunity, they must consider whether they can bear the consequences and responsibilities Ren. In this way, Saleh is naturally not willing to talk about peace, and he is a royal orthodoxy in name. Hassan and Sudan still have to accept his rule in name. The purpose of war weariness and peace talks has been achieved for Saleh. What he has to do next is
"Yes, the next thing he has to do is try every means to please, woo and approach his nephew Li Cheng and his sister Yeyue, so that the odds of winning the bet ten years later will be more favorable to him." Li Hong followed Li Xian's words.
Li Lingyue refused to do it. She glared at her beautiful eyes and swept her face around her face. Then she said, "isn't it until the end that we have to gamble like a child's play? What if you lose? Although I have confidence in my nephew, I have faith in I have no confidence in his unreliable father
Listening to Li Lingyue's personal attack, Li Hong couldn't help saying, "who do you think is not reliable? Why am I not reliable? "
"Reliable. Did you take your own son to the place of fireworks? Is there a woman who brought back two buildings for his own son? Is this something a reliable father can do? I wonder if my nieces and nephews are your own. " Anyway, Li Lingyue understood that in the end, the bet had to depend on gambling. What's more, it was up to a four-year-old child to decide which side to win or lose in ten years' time.
Li Xian looked at Li Lingyue, the only one who dared to be unscrupulous in front of Li Hong, and even personally attacked him. He said with a smile: "you misunderstood the emperor. That contract is precious and a talisman for Saleh, but for the emperor, it is a piece of paper for me in the Tang Dynasty. If the situation changes in the future, or before Li Cheng goes to the fief, we will have greater interests However, the contract can be completely forgotten, just a piece of waste paper. But for Saleh, it was more precious than anything before Li Cheng went to the fief. "
"Why?" Li Lingyue is a little unconvinced. Why is that contract so important to Saleh, who is a big eater? How can the Tang Dynasty say to throw it away or scrap it!
"Because I'm strong in Datang, I don't need to see anyone's face, but they need to see my face to survive." Li Hong rubbed her cheek again, and then Li Lingyue patted her thigh: "let me borrow you to lie down and sleep for a while. I'll call you when I enter the palace."
"If I had known that, let the girls in the two buildings..."
"Go away, get out of here." Li Lingyue slapped someone on the head and swore.
