Yao Chong opened it and looked at it, and soon, his face became solemn, and after reading it, he gently put the letter back on the imperial case, and his expression returned to calm: "Your Majesty, the wolf ambitions of Tubo and Dashi are clearly revealed. ”

The letter contains the exchange of visits by the envoys of Dashi and Tibet, as well as the movements of the armies of the two countries, and even the latest information on the evil deeds of the Western Turks is also recorded.

Datang has a very efficient method of collecting intelligence, the army's intelligence system, the emperor's direct subordinate bad people organization, the vassal countries, friendly neighbors to please the Tang Dynasty sent intelligence, in addition, no matter anyone, can go to the relevant Datang Yamen, the capital to provide information, as long as the information is verified to be true and reliable, will get the relevant rewards and protection.

As the prime minister, Yao Chong had long been prepared for this situation, and when he saw the most urgent secret report from the bad people, he knew that Dashi and Tubo had changed from contact and negotiation to substantive action.

Since Princess Wencheng married Songtsan Gampo, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo had a honeymoon period, Tubo used this honeymoon period to vigorously develop the economy and enhance national strength, especially the use of the craftsmen and various books brought by Princess Wencheng to Tubo, which greatly promoted the national strength of Tubo, but unfortunately there are no permanent friends in the world.

Tubo and Datang, there are not many big wars, small conflicts continue, every year before the winter to "fight the grass valley", the target is sometimes the Tang Dynasty, sometimes the surrounding countries or tribes, no way, Tubo is located in the plateau, the output is not much, the materials are not rich enough, there is not enough output, there is no money to buy, if you want to live well, you can only rob.

If you want to say that Tubo has the idea of fighting the Tang Dynasty, it is reasonable, but Da Shi, who has always been respectful to the Tang Dynasty and pays tribute as a courtier every year, actually has an idea about the Tang Dynasty, which is a bit unexpected.

Back then, Da Shi made the Western Turks bully enough, it was Datang who wiped out the Western Turks, so he came out, Da Shi fought everywhere in the river, Da Tang opened one eye to it and closed one eye, just thinking about letting them toss each other and consume strength, but I didn't expect Da Shi to lick the scar and forget to fight, and he actually started the idea of Datang.

In addition to the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, the Western Turks also participated in it.

Although the target this time is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, Bahanna.

Li Longji took a sip of tea lightly and said unhurriedly: "What is Yao Aiqing's opinion?" ”

"Hit!" Yao Chong said without hesitation.

"Tell me what you think."

Yao Chong said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the land in the middle of the river is barren, the desert is thousands of miles, it is not worth the expedition, for many years they have been allowed to consume each other, the big food has caught up with a good time, and also knows the current situation, the two strong enemies of Persia and the Western Turks have been greatly weakened due to different reasons, let it slowly sit bigger, the previous big food is plundering but not occupying, and now it has annexed more than ten small countries in the river, and can no longer sit idly by." ”

"Datang hasn't settled this matter with it, I can't imagine that it dares to openly provoke Datang's authority, which just gives us an excellent reason to attack it, and take this opportunity to revitalize the order in the Western Regions."

Li Longji nodded and said: "I boarded the big treasure that day, and the big food also sent a congratulatory gift, and the attitude was very respectful, but in the second year, I didn't kneel, and I only knelt to the gods, not the son of heaven, presumably I had a heart of disobedience that day, and according to Yao Aiqing's intentions, I sent troops?" ”

"Your Majesty" Yao Chong arched his hand, a sneer appeared on his lips, and then said with a smile: "No hurry. ”

"Oh, what's the point?"

Yao Chong said with a wise face: "Bahan's years of receiving the emperor's favor, the national strength has grown rapidly, I heard that the king of Bahanna is still training soldiers and horses, and it should be given a chance, it is best to wait for it to ask for help before sending troops, otherwise the division will be nameless, which will damage the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, and the old minister feels that he should wait and see the development of the situation first, and then send troops if necessary." ”

After a pause, Yao Chong continued to add: "Going on an expedition is the most taboo for laborers, and it is a bit difficult to draw troops from the Tang Dynasty, you can borrow troops from the vassal countries of the Western Regions to give the soldiers a chance to perform, and the Tang Dynasty only needs to send someone to command." ”

Li Longji glanced at Yao Chong, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "This plan is very good, Yao Aiqing, who do you think can take on this heavy responsibility in this turmoil?" ”

Yao Chong said confidently: "This person must not only be wise and brave, familiar with the terrain of the Western Regions, but also have an understanding and friendship with all the forces in the Western Regions. ”

Li Longji thought for a while, nodded and said: "Good, these two people are indeed the best choice, Yao Aiqing, this matter will be handed over to you to deal with, discuss with the military department as soon as possible, and formulate a strategy and backup plan to resist the enemy, so as not to cause chaos when you are busy." ”

The meaning of Yao Chong's words is to use the military actions of Tubo and Dashi to weaken and consume the power of Bakhana and the forces of all parties in the Western Regions, which is conducive to the Tang Dynasty to maintain a strong influence in the Western Regions.

"Yes." Yao Chong saluted and shouted the order.

After Yao Chong retreated, Li Longji picked up the black secret letter on the imperial case and looked at it, and suddenly shouted, "Lux." ”

"The old slave is here." Gao Lishi suddenly walked out of the bookshelf and saluted Li Longji respectfully.

"This information was sent by the fire crow, who is the fire crow?"

The organization of bad guys is very tight, once selected, they all use code names instead of real names, and this letter in Li Longji's hand is presented by the bad guys codenamed Fire Crow.

Gao Lishi's memory is very good, in fact, this secret letter was handed over to him, and then handed over to Li Longji's imperial case, before handing it in, he had already memorized the relevant information, and immediately responded when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, the fire crow is a newcomer recommended by the bad handsome, and he only joined the company a year ago, and took the initiative to apply to the most dangerous place, and the fire crow is the son of the Qinghe Cui family, surnamed Cui Zi Xiyi." ”

"Cui Xiyi? Well, that's a good name, give him a lot of credit. Li Long said.

"The old slave obeys."

Bahan's country is turbulent, and there is a tendency for mountains and rains to come and the wind is full of buildings, but it is too far away from Datang and has little impact, after Li Longji and Yao Chong combined, that trace of fluctuation quickly disappeared, except for a bad person named Cui Xiyi who was rewarded.

As soon as Zheng Peng returned, he heard bursts of laughter from inside, and faintly heard words such as "The county lord is really smart", and as soon as he heard the laughter, Zheng Peng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not bad, Landuo in a rage, didn't set fire to this place.

"Ah Shou, there's nothing going on at home, right?" Zheng Peng hadn't entered the door yet, so he took the initiative to ask Ah Shou, who was guarding the door.

"It's nothing" Ah Shou recalled: "It's that when the county lord came back, he didn't seem to be in a good mood, he dropped a few tea bowls, and let Chunhong tie the haystack, saying that he wanted to practice arrows with the haystack, but before he could tie it, Huang San came back with a bicycle, and I don't know what Huang San's kid said to the county lord, the county lord quickly became happy, and he didn't practice archery anymore, he was very happy to finish practicing his bicycle in the front yard, young master, are you okay?" ”

Just find a reference object for practicing arrows, where you need to tie what haystack, if you guess correctly, write the word "Zheng Peng" on it after you tie it, and then shoot while scolding.

It's a little chilling to think about it, but fortunately, Huang San reminded her to carry the sample car back and give it to Landuo as a gift, which made her angry.
