Chapter 766
Gao Yan is no stranger to the name Qi Jiguang. After all, he regarded Daming as the strongest opponent going south, and he studied the intelligence of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals over and over again.

His life story and abilities are all very well understood.

In Gao Yan's view, among the generals who originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun may be the strongest in command and charge, and they are also the two strongest generals in the Ming army.

But when it comes to comprehensive ability, it belongs to Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang is capable of writing and martial arts. He seems to be a general, but his calligraphy and poetry are very good. He can also write military books, practice large formations, and lead the trained elite soldiers and horses to fight from south to north. He is invincible.

Even, Fu Youde can be compared by Qi Jiguang in many aspects.

It's just that Fu Youde followed His Majesty early on, and was usually nourished by the Great Xia Qi and had a lot of cultivation resources.

No matter how strong Qi Jiguang's personal ability is, he can't stop the crushing of the Great Xia soldiers. It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and her own growth rate is also implicated, which is much slower than Fu Youde.

Especially now, Fu Youde has successfully broken through to the heavenly realm, but Qi Jiguang can only rely on his own practice in Jinling, and has only reached the peak of the realm until now. If he wants to go further, it will take at least a year or two or even longer to accumulate.

"However, it is a good thing that Qi Jiguang is able to join us. As long as we give him a certain amount of time, our dynasty will have an extra heavenly power in the future!"

Gao Yan's eyes flickered.

He is full of confidence in Qi Jiguang breaking through the heavenly realm, what Qi Jiguang lacks now is only time.

Bu Zhi, Liu Bowen and others next to him also had different expressions, obviously they also attached great importance to Qi Jiguang.

Inside the hall.

Wang Jing chatted with Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang for less than half an hour. The monarch wanted to accept it, and the courtiers wanted to join him. With two-way rushing, the atmosphere of Wang Jing and Qi Jiguang's discussion was very harmonious.

Without any surprise, the Great Xia Dynasty had another top general from then on.

As for Qi Jiguang's appointment, Wang Jing pondered for a while, took a look at Hu Zongxian, and decided to let him and Hu Zongxian go out of the town together, made military achievements there, and returned to Jinling to preside over the military training.

At the stage when special arms are becoming more and more important, the Qi family army trained by Qi Jiguang can make Daxia even more powerful.

After Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang resigned.

Pei Ju delivered the memorial and reported the news that Li Tang's envoy wanted to see him.

Wang Jing did not refuse.

"Foreign minister Tang Jian, pay homage to Emperor Xia!"

Tang Jian, Minister of Li Tang's Ministry of Rites, and Li Shentong, the representative of Li Tang's clan, came to the palace to meet them. When meeting them, Wang Jing called Gao Yan, Xie An, Liu Bowen and others into the palace.

"You don't have to be polite! May I ask you why you came from afar?"

Wang Jing asked lightly.

He had already guessed the purpose of the other party's visit, but it was impossible for him not to give the other party a chance to speak,
I have already made up my mind to refuse, but on the surface I still want to listen.

Hearing Wang Jing's tone, Tang Jian's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly realized that he made great contributions as an envoy, and even became a famous official in Lingyan Pavilion. Naturally, he is best at observing words and demeanor.

He keenly sensed Wang Jing's attitude.

"I report to the Emperor Xia, the foreign ministers are ordered by my emperor to communicate with Da Xia and conclude a covenant...Nowadays, the land of Shenzhou is in chaos and the world is in turmoil. Standing in the southeast is a natural ally!"

"If your two families form an alliance, the princes of the world will not worry about it!"

Tang Jian didn't use any lobbyist rhetoric, nor did he deliberately say anything big, all he said was the actual situation in China today.

Gao Yan, Bu Zhi, Xie Xuan, Liu Bowen and others stood on both sides of the hall.

Hearing these words, he nodded slightly in his heart.

Tang Jian is right, Li Tang is indeed a natural ally of Great Xia... Now in the land of China, the Western Han, Eastern Han and Shu Han are very closely related because they come from the same source. For example, the Western Han and Eastern Han can safely hand over their backs to each other , bent on attacking cities and lands in other directions.

The Three Han Alliance is the strongest force in China.

In order to deal with the Three Hans, Daqin and Li Tang had cooperated tacitly. Among them, Daqin faced the pincer attack of the Western Han and Shuhan alone. Whenever there was a disadvantage, Li Tang would send troops out of Hedong to relieve some pressure for Daqin.

Because Li Tang knew that if the Great Qin was destroyed by the Three Hans, then the territory of the Three Hans would be connected into one piece, and Guanzhong, Bashu, and the Central Plains would form a situation of unifying the world.

The Great Qin and Li Tang in history took Guanzhong as their foundation, then seized Bashu and the Central Plains, and established a unified general trend.

The Northern Three Hans, Da Qin, and Li Tang contained each other, and they could not break the situation in a short time.

Therefore, Li Tang set his sights on the Daxia Dynasty, a great southern country that had just defeated the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"The land of the Central Plains is full of outstanding people and fertile land. If you want to dominate the world, you must fight for the Central Plains!"

When Tang Jian mentioned Liu Xiu, his tone paused slightly.

Liu Xiunai is recognized as a wise king, and also a relatively perfect king, with almost no black spots all over his body.As a civil servant, Tang Jian admired such an emperor from the bottom of his heart.

But now Liu Xiu has become the biggest stumbling block for Li Tang going south...

"However... Liu Xiu is the master of the Ming Dynasty, and the strength of the Han army is also very strong. It is almost impossible for one family to defeat it!"

"If Emperor Xia agrees to form an alliance and attack me from north to south, no matter how strong the Han army is, it will be difficult to resist... At that time, I will conquer Luoyang, and Emperor Xia will gain Xiangyang and Nanyang! Your two families can divide the world equally!"

"I don't know Emperor Xia, but does he have the heart to go north to the Central Plains and compete with the heroes of the world?"

Tang Jian asked seriously.

Wang Jing smiled regretfully, and said: "What you said is very reasonable. The Emperor Tang sent you tens of thousands of miles away, which shows his sincerity. The soil is thousands of miles away, and the veterans of the division are tired. Even if they want to go north to the Central Plains, they will not be able to send troops in a short time."

"The matter of forming an alliance, I'm afraid we can only discuss it when the time comes!"

Tang Jian frowned slightly and sighed inwardly.

He had noticed the attitude of Emperor Xia and the officials in the palace just now, and now he received Wang Jing's reply, and he had no other emotions in his heart.

"Since Emperor Xia has made a decision, the foreign ministers will not persuade him anymore."

"This time the foreign ministers came, besides forming an alliance, there is one more thing... My dynasty and Daxia are natural allies. Although we can't form an alliance now, there will definitely be more opportunities to join forces in the future. In order to deepen the relationship between your two families , my emperor intends to marry Emperor Xia..."

Tang Jian continued after seeing that the alliance could not be formed.

Marriage?

Wang Jing's eyes moved slightly. How old is his son, and this is why others have taken a fancy to him?

Seeing this, Gao Yan immediately stood up and asked, "I don't know what you said about the marriage, what do you say?"

Tang Jian immediately explained that he didn't mean to marry Wang Jing's children, but to send a princess to marry Wang Jing to deepen the relationship.

This is a marriage.

It is also Li Tang's traditional skill.

Li Tang's blood was contaminated with a lot of Hu Feng, and he didn't regard marriage as a humiliation, and Li Tang had always been very strong since his rise, even in the marriage, he had the initiative.

If Li Tang is unwilling, no one can force him.

In a formal alliance that cannot be equal to each other, it is also a good way to use the method of marriage to deepen the relationship.

"Dare to ask, which princess is the one who went south to marry you?"

Wang Jing asked.

Anyway, it's not Daxia's marriage, and if she doesn't like the other party, just throw her into the harem and leave her alone. As a man, Wang Jing will definitely not suffer from such things.

However, before agreeing, Wang Jing still asked a little cautiously.

After all, Li Tang's princesses are not good-natured, Princess Taiping is greedy for power, Princess Gaoyang can make you a green hat, and the most ruthless one is Princess Anle, who can directly poison the emperor to death...

Wang Jing didn't want to cause more disturbances in his harem.

Tang Jian was slightly embarrassed, and seemed to have heard Wang Jing's implication, and immediately said, "It's Princess Changle of my court!"

Wang Jing was a little surprised.

Erfeng spent all his money, and was willing to marry his own daughter to Jinling, which is tens of thousands of miles away.

You must know that although the Han Dynasty was forced to humiliate foreign marriages, the princesses who married were actually court ladies. In the entire history of the Han Dynasty, there was probably only one Nangong Princess who actually married outside.

Li Tang's foreign marriages were not maids of honor, but women from the branch of the clan, such as Princess Wencheng, Princess Jincheng, and Princess Yongle.

The emperor's daughter, none of those real princesses.

Now, Erfeng broke the convention and gave away his own daughter.

This is too much sincerity!
Wang Jing has some impressions of Princess Changle. She is not only Erfeng's daughter, but also his eldest daughter.

As the name suggests, people are born with beauty, and their name is Li Lizhi.

However, if Wang Jing remembers correctly, Li Lizhi seems to have married the son of the eldest grandson Wuji in history, and then died young when she was in her twenties.

Now that Erfeng is marrying off his eldest daughter, isn't he afraid that his eldest grandson Wuji will be dissatisfied?

Not only Wang Jing, but Gao Yan and Liu Bowen also knew this, and they had some doubts in their hearts.

Tang Jian and Li Shentong noticed everyone's expressions and looked at each other.

In fact, the relationship between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji is a bit complicated now. Li Shimin never told Changsun Wuji, his uncle, before his death,
But his son Li Zhi made his uncle miserable.

Changsun Wuji was forced to commit suicide, and countless members of the Changsun clan were killed and injured. The powerful Changsun clan, which was prominent and powerful in the early Tang Dynasty, completely disappeared after Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi.

This is the hatred of an entire family being wiped out.

Because of the relationship between his sister and Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji could suppress his hatred, but the emotions in the hearts of the clansmen of the Changsun clan were not easy to suppress.

That is to say, the relationship between Changsun and Li Tang is too deep to be severed, otherwise he would have left Li Tang and defected to other dynasties long ago.

For various reasons, coupled with the early death of his daughter in history, Li Shimin gave up marrying his daughter to Changsun Chong according to historical records.

But if you don't marry Changsun Chong, you can't marry Li Tang's other courtiers either.

Marrying the son of another courtier, what should Changsun Wuji, Changsun Chong and his son think?A bit of a green hat suspicion.

Up and down every day, too disturbing mentality.

Therefore, Li Shimin chose Jinling, tens of thousands of miles away, when he could not marry Li Tang's internal affairs.

Wang Jing was young, started from scratch, rose all the way from the land of Jianghuai, subdued famous ministers and generals, and had millions of elite soldiers.

The Great Xia Dynasty is the number one power in the south, showing signs of dominating the south.

As the Lord of Great Xia, Wang Jing is a standard hero and Mingjun in Li Shimin's eyes.Coupled with Wang Jing's young age, he happened to be the best candidate for the eldest daughter's husband.

Only a small number of Li Shimin and Li Tang's courtiers knew about these situations.

Tang Jian didn't know much.

He only thought that his majesty married his eldest daughter to Jinling to show the sincerity of the alliance. Even if the alliance failed, he could still draw in the relationship with the Great Xia Dynasty and prepare for the future alliance.

"Okay! I agree to the marriage!"

Wang Jing said.

He is quite satisfied with the candidate for Li Tang's marriage.

The most important reason for his refusal to form an alliance this time is that the expansion is too fast and the territory must be rested and digested. If conditions permit, Wang Jing also has the idea of ​​going north to the Central Plains.

"Okay, Emperor Xia has made his promise, so the marriage is settled! Please also choose an auspicious date..."

Tang Jian said quickly.

Although the marriage is confirmed, the process still needs to be discussed. For example, when Tang Jian returns, Wang Jing will also send envoys and guards of honor to Taiyuan.

From Li Tang to Da Xia, there are more than ten thousand miles in between.

If the Eastern Han Dynasty or other vassal forces heard about the marriage between Li Tang and Daxia, they would definitely take action. Although the marriage is not an alliance, it is only a little worse than an alliance.

It is impossible for them to watch the relationship between the two dynasties become closer.

On the way of seeing off and welcoming relatives, twists and turns are unavoidable.We must send strong people to sit in the town to avoid accidents.

"It seems that we have to choose a general from the Heaven Realm to act as a welcoming envoy..."

Wang Jing thought to himself.

Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Zaixing can just choose one at random, but to send a welcoming group into Li Tang, they must deal with Li Tang's generals.

In contrast, Yuwen Chengdu, which was famous in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, is more suitable to go to Taiyuan...

thought here.

Wang Jing's heart suddenly moved, "I don't know if there is Li Yuanba under Erfeng's command... Well, since Yuwen Chengdu has descended, Li Yuanba should also appear, and it is very likely that he is one of the powerful heavenly realms that descended not long ago!"

If Yuwen Chengdu enters Taiyuan, it is very likely that he will run into this nemesis.

In addition to Li Jing and Li Yuanba, there is also a strong man in the heavenly realm who may defect to Li Tang, that is, the No.1 general of the Five Dynasties, Li Cunxiao who claims to be inferior to Li...

That is to say, Li Tang's geographical location in the Shenzhou world is not very good. The west and south are blocked by the Han Dynasty, the north is the Mongolian Yuan, and the east is thousands of miles of deep mountains and old forests.

If the army cannot defend the sky, it cannot march from the east.

Li and Tang are surrounded by enemies on three sides, and they all need strong guards... If it weren't for this, with the strong strength of Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao, plus Li Jing sitting in command, it would be very difficult to destroy the Eastern Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, but it is not too difficult to capture Hanoi and break into the Central Plains!

"Li Yuanba...shouldn't be as heaven-defying as in the novel!"
