Li An had a smile on the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhao Jingnong: "Sanxiang is confident that he understands the personality of the Great Minister, but does the Sanxiang understand the Tang Emperor?" ”

Zhao Jingnong smiled at the corner of his mouth: "How dare you speculate on the holy will of the Tang Emperor." ”

"I can tell the three phases."

Zhao Jingnong didn't speak, but he pricked up his ears, wanting to hear Li An's high opinion.

"The dragon has reverse scales, so happy."

After Li An finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Jingnong and observed his reaction.

Zhao Jingnong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled innocently: "As a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, Captain Li commented on the Tang Emperor like this, this is a big disloyalty, if the Tang Emperor knows, it is not good!" ”

Li An waved his hand lightly: "There are only Sanxiang and me here, and there is this vast world, how can others know, besides, Sanxiang is a smart person, how dare he dare to say those emperor's wise and martial empty words in front of Sanxiang." ”

"Hahaha! I can't see that Captain Li is still a free and easy person, and he even dares to say bad things about the emperor, and there are still things that Captain Li dare not do. ”

Zhao Jingnong praised Ang Lee, and secretly sighed in his heart that Ang Li was powerful, and he could point out what he was afraid of in one sentence.

Li An still had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Sanxiang, what he said is true, the Tang Emperor has a very good face, no one can stop what he wants to do, and no one dares to stop it, such as the Dongnu Kingdom, since it has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, it is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, if the subject country of the Tang Dynasty is annexed by Tubo, it is like a slap in the face of the Tang Emperor, with the temper of the Tang Emperor, it is impossible to tolerate it, even if the army of the whole country is levied and the people of the world are displaced, he will send troops to Tubo and recapture the Dongnu Kingdom." ”

Zhao Jingnong's expression was shocked: "The Tang Emperor will really fight with Tubo to the end for the sake of a small country?" ”

Li An nodded lightly: "The Eastern Female Kingdom is sandwiched between the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, and Nanzhao, if Tubo wins the Eastern Female Kingdom, it will be a great threat to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Emperor will never allow such a thing to happen, this is the bottom line of the Tang Emperor, if not, the humble position will not come to the Eastern Female Kingdom." ”

Zhao Jingnong frowned slightly: "I didn't expect the Tang Emperor to be so resolute, if Yao Chong and Song Jing were alive, it would definitely not be like this." ”

Yao Chong and Song Jing are the first years of the Tang Dynasty, the famous virtuous ministers, they assisted the Tang Emperor Li Longji, created a world-renowned Kaiyuan prosperous era, and pushed the Tang Empire to the most powerful era, and the governing program of the two of them is to lightly pay for the thin endowment, rest the army and support the people, during the period when they were prime ministers, the Tang Dynasty rarely had large-scale wars with foreign enemies, as a result, the burden of the people was lighter, and the country was naturally stronger.

But in recent years, the wars between the Tang Dynasty and foreign enemies have increased significantly, and in Zhao Jingnong's view, this is because the current prime minister Li Linfu obeys the emperor everywhere and refuses to dissuade him directly.

Li An saw the worry in Zhao Jingnong's heart, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The three phases want the people of the Dongnu Kingdom to live a stable life, but the premise is not to anger the Tang Emperor, otherwise, the Dongnu Kingdom is only afraid that there will be no peace." ”

Zhao Jingnong pondered for a moment and frowned: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is so happy, but Tubo Zampu is not easy to match, and my Dongnu Kingdom is sandwiched between big countries, which is really miserable." ”

"Miserable?"

Li An smiled disdainfully: "If you want to step on two boats, it will naturally be miserable, if you are only loyal to my Datang, why bother, the three phases are not sure of Datang and Tubo, who is stronger!" ”

"Captain Li is really outspoken, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo have been fighting for hegemony for many years, and they have won and lost each other, and now, the famous Tang Dynasty general Gai Jiayun was defeated by Tubo, and Tubo Zampu personally led an elite army stationed at the border, and it seems that he is also determined to win my Dongnu country."

Zhao Jingnong seemed to be many years old all of a sudden, and looked up blankly into the distance.

It's no wonder that now, whether it is Tubo Zampu or the Tang Emperor, they are all bent on controlling the Dongnu Kingdom, and their strength is very strong, and they can crush the Dongnu Kingdom with a casual hand.

"Datang will win."

Ang Lee didn't talk nonsense, and directly gave his opinion.

"Datang will win? Captain Li is full of confidence. ”

Zhao Jingnong seemed to be a little disapproving.

Li An said confidently: "First, Datang has thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains, rich in products, and sufficient soldiers and food, while Tubo lives between poor mountains and bad waters, lack of resources, barren land, and its national strength is far weaker than that of Datang. Third, the combat strength of the Tubo people has already been seen, and nearly 100 people secretly attacked, but they could not hurt our Tang army in the slightest, and they were completely annihilated by our army in one fell swoop. From these three points, Tubo is not to be afraid, and the Tang Dynasty will win. ”

Zhao Jingnong still looked into the distance expressionlessly, and looked back at Li An for a long time: "If I help Datang, what promise can Captain Li give me." ”

"Humble promise, Datang will win!!"

"Okay, with Captain Li's promise, I'm relieved, let's say it! What do I need to do? ”

Li An was overjoyed, stepped forward, and whispered a few words in Zhao Jingnong's ear.

When Zhao Jingnong heard this, he was slightly shocked, and then nodded in agreement.

Only then did Li An take out the dagger that Zhao Yafu gave him and put it in front of Zhao Jingnong: "The second phase was worried that the third phase would not believe me, so he specially handed me this dagger, saying that the third phase recognized this dagger." ”

Zhao Jingnong grinned: "I look at people, not daggers, and the second brother always doesn't understand me, haha!" ”

Subsequently, Li An followed Zhao Jingnong to the military camp and talked with him about the world's major affairs, the topic has been relatively speculative, and he left unfinished until it was nearly dusk.

Successfully persuaded Zhao Jingnong to stand on his side, Li An's mood was extremely comfortable, and with Zhao Jingnong's help, he had a better chance of smashing the Tubo conspiracy.

Riding a horse galloping on the road when he came, looking at the beautiful scenery of the sunset, Li An yelled loudly to vent the depression of these days.

"Big brother, how did you convince Sanxiang, he seems to be very happy."

"Datang will win."

"Datang will win?"

"Yes, it is Datang that will win, just these four words, Zhao Jingnong will be happy and convinced."

"Datang will win, Datang will win, Datang will win......"

The group all shouted loudly, and followed Ang Lee to vent their inner depression.

###

In the following days, the situation in the queen city became more and more tense, and the Tang interest group with Li An as the core and the Tubo interest group led by Wu Yanguo launched a series of open and secret battles, and both sides already knew the existence of the other, but they had not completely torn their faces for the time being.

In the dim study, Prime Minister Zhao Daiwen sat quietly in the darkest corner, looking at his toes, without saying a word, and lasted for more than an hour.

"Master, the four phases are here."

Zhao Daiwen immediately stood up: "Fourth brother, how is the situation?" ”

Zhao Hui sighed slightly: "I don't know who leaked the news, half of the dozens of subordinates who participated in the operation that night disappeared, I have been looking for so many days and found nothing, and I don't know where they are hiding?" ”

"Will they defect to the Tang Army?"

Hamigo interjected nervously, and seeing that the master and Zhao Hui all cast angry eyes, he quickly covered his mouth and slowly withdrew from the study.

"These people have the blood of innocent people on their hands, and when they saw their mother Dayong being captured alive, they were afraid of exposing themselves, so they hid, which is probably the biggest, but if they are not eliminated as soon as possible, it will be a disaster sooner or later."

"What the prime minister said is that the current situation is very bad, although the big talk is designed to transfer the two phases, but the five phases immediately colluded with Li Anxin, and he seems to be secretly investigating the murder case in the city."

"What, this Zhao Wufu still hasn't given up."

Zhao Daiwen was furious.

"Zhao Wufu seems to have known that we have taken refuge in Tibet, and he is deliberately working against us."

Zhao Daiwen frowned: "The current situation is so sinister, and Da Tan has just left, what should we do?" ”

This was the first time he showed a worried look in front of Zhao Hui, which showed how much pressure he had been under in his heart in just a few days.

"Master, Da Zhu is back."

Zhao Daiwen and Zhao Hui glanced at each other, and hurriedly got up to greet them.

Wu Yan Guo quietly left the Queen City yesterday evening, and when he left, he was in a hurry, and he didn't say when he would come back, but he came back only one day.

"Big talk."

Wu Yan Guo looked at the two of them and said straightforwardly: "The current situation in Queen City is very sinister, but the situation outside is even less optimistic. ”

"What's going on outside?"

Zhao Daiwen and Zhao Hui were both stunned.

"Tang Guo Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy Wang Zhongsi, suddenly led elite soldiers and horses to reinforce Hexi Longyou, it seems that he wants to use troops against my Tubo, this Wang Zhongsi is the first general of the Tang State, and has defeated my Tubo army many times before, Zampu in order to boost the morale of the army, defeated Wang Zhongsi, and asked us to take immediate action to seize the power of the Dongnu Kingdom and completely drive the Tang forces out of the Dongnu Kingdom."

Zhao Hui and Zhao Daiwen glanced at each other, and said softly: "Anyway, our soldiers and horses are all on the border, there are only six or seven hundred people in the Queen City, and the Wuxiang and Tang army soldiers and horses add up to more than one thousand, and Zhao Yufu also has five hundred soldiers and horses, we don't seem to have much chance of winning." ”

Wu Yan Guo smiled disdainfully: "The seizure of power does not care about the number of soldiers, but about the mind, six or seven hundred men and horses kill Zhao Yufu, more than enough." ”

Zhao Daiwen frowned: "What are the plans?" ”

Wu Yanguo beckoned the two of them to approach, and whispered his plan to the two of them.

"Big talk, is this really going to work?"

"The situation is extremely dangerous right now, do you have a better way than to take risks and win? This is also what Zampu means. ”

There was a slight threat in Guo's tone.

Zhao Daiwen and Zhao Hui have already taken refuge in Tubo, since this is what Zampu meant, they naturally can't object, so they have to nod and agree. (To be continued.) )
