Chapter 838: Threat

Li An has always been more lenient with his subordinates, and will take into account the needs of his subordinates in all aspects and meet the most basic desires of his subordinates, so he looks at the military discipline is not strict enough, but because of the absolute superiority of weapons and equipment, even if the military discipline is average, he can still win the battle, and no one can be the opponent of the elite soldiers and horses under Li An.

Of course, this time when he came to Egypt, Li Ang not only let his subordinates visit the Qinglou at will, but also taught them a task, and this task can only be completed by his subordinates unintentionally, and the effect is the best.

This so-called secret mission is to unconsciously reveal the purpose of Ang Lee's trip, of course, there is some boasting in it, not all of it is true, but Osman is unable to verify, he has no channel to verify, so he can only choose to believe, otherwise, what awaits him may be a huge loss.

Li Feiyu and many generals all went to the Qinglou in the city, anyway, life is very short, if they don't have fun in time, they will lose a lot, and they still have to complete this important task, only by completing this task, the purpose of Li An's trip can be successfully completed.

Since ancient times, Qinglou is not something that ordinary people can afford, if there is no deep official background, it will not be able to open smoothly at all, especially the more famous Qinglou, there are big backers behind it, and ordinary people really can't afford to offend.

Of course, the same is true of Egypt's green houses, after the Ottoman occupation of Egypt, the owners of the largest local green houses took refuge in the Ottomans, and the Ottomans also successfully installed their own eyeliner in the various green houses.

After all, since ancient times, this kind of place is a mixed place, it is a place where the powerful and the rich second generation often go to play, and all kinds of rich businessmen will often go to the Qinglou, so that the Qinglou has become a place for all kinds of news dissemination, and it is the most suitable to install cronies in this kind of place, in order to better control Egypt, Ottoman's subordinates have also developed a lot of girls in the Qinglou, so that they can become the eyes of the Ottomans, and if there is anything important, they must be reported as soon as possible, so that the Osman is in an active position.

"The little lady here looks pretty good, there are all kinds of skin colors, but it's a pity that there is no Tang Dynasty lady, and there are not many people who can speak Tang dialect."

Li Anfeiyu complained in front of a fellow official.

"General Li, then let's just call a few little ladies who can speak Tang dialect to serve."

The officer who was traveling with him spoke.

Li Feiyu nodded and said, "It makes sense, you go and pick it yourself, pick two young and beautiful people to come over, and we will each have one." ”

"Yes, I'll go."

The fellow officials left for a while, and soon pulled two beautiful and white-skinned Europa ladies in, although the appearance was not as good as the beauty of Li Xiaolu brought back by Ang Lee, but it was already very good, and she was one of the best ladies in Egypt.

Being able to spend a good night with such a beautiful celebrity is also a great blessing in life, Li Feiyu smiled with satisfaction, and beckoned the little lady to sit on his lap, so that it would be more convenient for them to communicate with each other.

The Qinglou lady's ability to serve people is very good, and she can always serve the guests comfortably, which is the eating skill they rely on to survive, of course, they can't be rusty.

The routine of Qinglou seeking joy is nothing more than a few things, a bunch of people get together to brag, one is more capable than the other, and then hug the little lady to drink and eat, and finally go to the side of the couch to solve the needs of the last step.

Among them, the process of drinking and bragging cannot be omitted, this is the biggest program to enter the Qinglou, otherwise you need to go to such a high-end place, and you can't solve it at home.

After drinking for a while, Li Feiyu looked a little drunk, and his hands and feet gradually became dishonest, touching the body of the little lady in the Qinglou back and forth.

"Do you know why your business is so good here? It is because of our Datang that we know why the Ottoman can sit firmly in the position of the Sultan, and it is also because of our Datang, do you know why you can use a small mirror, and it is also because of our Datang, the sun, moon and stars in the sky are all our Datang, and everything on the earth is also our Datang, and there is nothing that is not Datang. ”

Li Feiyu said very rudely, it didn't look like he was talking to Xiao Niang at all, but like talking to himself.

This is too big, the little lady who is waiting is startled, these little ladies who can speak Tang dialect are all specially trained, they have long been taken under the command of the Ottoman, and they have become veritable spies, usually when serving guests, they are very good at collecting intelligence, all kinds of intelligence are being collected, as long as it is useful information to the Ottomans, they will not be let go.

At this moment, when they heard that Datang was going to occupy the entire world, they were all taken aback, and hurriedly coaxed Li Feiyu to ask questions.

"What does the quality of our business have to do with Datang?"

Xiao Niang asked softly.

Li Feiyu said: "Of course you don't know, when the Ottoman left the Arabian Peninsula, he did a lot of bad things and robbed many people, and the people there hated him so much, it was just a lot of anger!" Artik was very helpless, and in order to appease the anger of the people, he planned to send 100,000 troops to attack Egypt, but as a result, hahaha...... If there is no Datang and 100,000 troops are pressed down, Egypt will be in the midst of a war, and it will be too late to escape, who will take care of your business? Therefore, it is the credit of our Datang that you can do business in peace, you know. ”

"Yes, guest officer, it's all the credit of Datang."

Li Feiyu continued: "Do you know, the Sultan Osman of Egypt was originally a very ordinary general, with only 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and his strength was very small. Even have to travel far across the ocean to attack Spain, it is not right to be so reckless, the Tang Dynasty is very disgusted, in case the court issues a holy decree to let our army exterminate the Ottomans, we can't disobey it! However, as long as Osman listens to Datang honestly, he will not be beaten. ”

When the two young ladies heard this, they looked at each other a little, but they still pretended not to understand anything, and continued to ask Li Feiyu a lot of questions, and these questions were related to the purpose of Li An's trip.

Of course, in addition to Li Feiyu, the rest of the Datang officials who accepted the task also revealed some news intentionally or unintentionally, and all of these news were revealed unintentionally, but the lethality was much greater than directly picking out Osman, after all, everyone is still friends, and it is not good to make it clear.

The news was quickly gathered to Osman's henchmen, who, after summarizing it, first made a summary, and then hurried to the palace to report, after all, this is a big matter, and there can be no delay in the slightest.

The information was collected at night, and the time to compile it was in the early hours of the morning, and by the time Osman's henchmen arrived at the palace, it was already dawn, and it was time for Osman to get up.

"Sultan, Sultan, Li Shilang's trip is really not simple."

The henchman hurriedly said.

Osman was slightly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on, what is the purpose of Li Shilang's trip?" ”

The henchmen then explained the purpose of Ang Lee's trip, as well as the pressure from the Tang court and Artik that Ang fabricated by Ang, and even emphasized that if the Ottomans continued to expand the land and made the Tang court unhappy, Ang Lee could only be ordered to invade Egypt to block the continued expansion of Egypt.

Hearing this, Osman took a deep breath, his whole body was a little unstable, this kind of information hit him too much, so that his ambition was poured with cold water, and the whole person was not good.

"So, Li Shilang is here to stop us from entering Spain? He's going to stop us. ”

Osman spoke.

The subordinates nodded and said: "It should be wrong to do this, if we insist on an expedition to Spain, I am afraid that the Tang Army will really attack!" Our soldiers and horses can't hold the royal city, so it's better not to go on an expedition to Spain. ”

"How about you come to be this Sultan?"

Although what his henchmen said was very reasonable, he was the Sultan of Egypt, and his subordinates could only make suggestions on many things, but in the end it was only Osman who made the decision, and what his subordinates said made him too unhappy.

"Subordinates have many mouths, subordinates have many mouths."

The henchman hurriedly apologized.

Osman slowed down and said, "You are also loyal, I won't blame you, you go down!" Continue to collect more information, and always pay attention to the situation of the Tang soldiers and horses outside the city, in case the Tang soldiers and horses show signs of moving, we must respond immediately. ”

"Yes, Sultan, I see."

The heart and abdomen are subordinate.

After his subordinates left, Osman paced back and forth in the house, feeling very upset, although at this moment Li An did not ask for anything, nor did he stop the expedition to Spain, but the news he got from the side made him even more frightened, and said that the silent dog bite hurts the most, Li An did not say anything, but the news learned from the side made Osman even more afraid.

Altic's 100,000 troops are pressing, he is not very afraid, it's a big deal to give up attacking Spain for the time being, or transfer back the expeditionary troops and horses in the south and west, he can completely resist it, after eliminating Artik, he can continue to attack from all sides, but the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are a powerful force that he can't provoke, if the Tang court feels that his ambition is too big and wants to clean him up, with his current strength, he really can't resist, besides, the soldiers and horses led by Li An are just a partial division of the Tang Dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty, There were many more soldiers and horses, so powerful that the Ottomans could never catch up.

The construction of the Datang Canal is imminent, and after the completion of the construction of the Datang Canal, the Datang soldiers and horses need to be stationed on both sides of the canal to protect this vital maritime golden waterway, that is, to be stationed in the eastern part of Egypt, which can deter the Egyptian regime at all times.

If it is not good to have a good relationship with Datang, then, the Egyptian regime will have a very bad time in the future, Osman knows this, so he is very reluctant to offend Datang, this time he refused Datang's request, it was completely wrong for him to think about it, he thought that Datang had the 100,000 Laozi provided by Artik to start work first, what does it matter if he provides labor later? Unexpectedly, it caused so much dissatisfaction in the Tang Dynasty, and even gave birth to the idea of destroying Osman, which Osman did not expect.

Although his heart's words made him very unhappy, he also knew very well in his heart that with the current situation, it was impossible to continue the expedition to Spain, and he had to stop this risky operation, and at the same time, it was necessary to agree to Datang's request to provide some necessary labor for Datang to support the Tang Dynasty to develop the canal and benefit the people on both sides of the canal.

It's just that Osman had politely rejected Datang's labor request before, and if he suddenly agreed to Datang's request at this moment, it would be a bit faceless.

But at this moment, the expedition to Spain must be canceled, and it is imperative to provide labor for the Tang Dynasty, but how to achieve the goal in a more face-saving way has become an urgent problem for the Ottomans to solve.

To this end, Osman gathered several of his henchmen, explained the situation to his subordinates, and asked for their opinions.

These subordinates were all frightened when they heard that the situation was so urgent, and the opinions they could give were similar to what Osman thought, and there was nothing new, which made Osman very unhappy, what he needed was to agree to Datang's request in a more face-saving way, instead of submitting to Datang in a gloomy manner.

"Sultan, Li Shilang is here."

One of the subordinates said.

"Is it just him?"

Osman asked brainlessly.

"Not much, just five or six people."

The subordinate replied.

Osman thought in his mind, feeling that Li Ang came this time to ask for labor, maybe he came to a showdown, and he was very unhappy when he thought that he was going to be coerced by others, but it was a blessing or a curse that could not be avoided, since Li An had come, he had to face it bravely.

"Hurry up, please."

Osman said politely.

Li An entered the hall with a spring breeze on his face, greeted Osman politely, and after sitting down, he did not talk about any labor, but praised Li Xiaolu, a little beauty, and pointed out how delicate Li Xiaolu was and how comfortable she was to serve herself.

"Haha! Now that the little beauty is Li Shilang's, if Li Shilang likes it, he can bring it back to Datang directly, and he can enjoy it every day in the future. ”

Naturally, Osman had to laugh along, but laughing was a bit fake, not much better than crying.
