Chapter 187 Li You's Mission
Murong Ling despised Murong Bo a little, and she said, "Brother, are you embarrassed? Is your salt useful to you in those salt lakes?
Besides, Li You gave you 1.5 million ounces last time, and there are still the food, so why would you give it to others?
Also, if the Tang Dynasty did not send a large army to support us, then we would have no life at that time, so what would we say? It's true."
Murong Bo just said casually, and saw Murong Ling anxious and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm not saying it's okay? Oh, the girl is outgoing, it's true. Before she could pass the door, she started to look at that brat Li You. Haha."
Murong Ling said, "Ignore you, you know Li You's plan, so you should prepare quickly."
Murong Bo nodded and said, "Okay, we have all the staff, so I'll send someone to Longde City now."
Liangyi Hall, study room.
When Li Chengqian went on the expedition this time, Changsun Wuji was both happy and worried. He hoped that Li Chengqian could make achievements, but was worried that if this trip was unfavorable, it would affect his reputation.
Changsun Wuji knew that Li Shimin had planned a plan, but if others didn't say it, Changsun Wuji wouldn't ask.
He said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince has no experience, and I don't know if he can solve the problem of Tuyuhun smoothly?
This is not only to deal with the rebels in Tuyuhun, but also to deal with the Tubo people, which is very difficult for the Tubo people to deal with."
Lu Dongzan's intelligence and talent left a deep impression on him. He told Li Shimin this way that he should get a vaccination first, and if the Western Expedition Army fails, Li Chengqian's responsibility will be smaller.
Among all the ministers, the person Li Shimin trusted the most was Changsun Wuji. However, he had experienced many conspiracies and plots, and he came to power through the Xuanwu Sect, a big conspiracy. Of course, he knew the importance of keeping secrets. Even Changsun Wuji, he would have reservations.
He, Li You and others have formulated detailed plans, and even Li Chengqian, the person involved, is not clear about Changsun Wuji. He will not disclose it.
Li Shimin said: "The matter in Tuyuhun is indeed very complicated. Several problems need to be solved here.
First, we must annihilate Murong Qian's rebels and recover all the territory of Tuyuhun.
Secondly, we must reduce casualties in the Tang Dynasty as much as possible.
Third, we must avoid large-scale wars with the Tubo people.
Fourth, Murong Bo's strength was also weakened, which forced him to rely on the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty could station troops in Tuyuhun and control Tuyuhun.
I have already made a detailed plan for this matter. Chengqian is just a military supervisor. Even if he fails in this battle, he will not blame him. Don't worry."
Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty, I feel relieved when you say this. However, it is not an easy task to achieve such a goal at the same time."
Li Shimin looked at Tuyuhun and pondered.
"I don't know if Li You and the others can complete this task smoothly?" he thought to himself.
To be honest, Li You's plan is too weird, and some places have surpassed Li Shimin's perception. Fortunately, Li You gained Li Shimin's trust through his repeated awesome performances.
He approved Li You's plan.
Longzhou Wei County, post station.
The roads in the Tang Dynasty were divided into official roads and official roads. Official roads refer to highways between the prefectures, and official roads refer to official roads with post stations.
The inn is usually 30 miles per hour, and the road is 20 miles per hour.
The post stations in the Tang Dynasty were very developed. During the Zhenguan period, there were 1,141 post stations nationwide, including 213 water post stations. Each post station was equipped with one post leader.
Each post station is equipped with horses or boats. The post station is divided into six levels, the highest level has 75 horses, and the lowest level has eight horses. The water post station is divided into four levels, with boats ranging from four to two.
What people often say is that the 600-mile expedited speed, whether to change horses or not, means that the messenger changes horses at the inn.
The use of post stations is strictly regulated and can only be used for public use. Except for the messengers of the government and the army, other people must hold copper talismans issued by the Ministry of Education.
Li You and others were naturally able to use the inn. This inn is still 60 miles away from Longzhou. It was getting late, so Li You and others stayed here.
After dinner, Li You and Hamid were chatting with others, and suddenly felt anxious to pee, so he wanted to go there, so Hamid had to go with him. A postman at an inn led them to find a place.
After the convenience was over, on the way back to the guest house, Li You saw a statue of a god posted on the gate of a winery warehouse and asked, "Which god is this?"
The ancients liked to worship industry gods, such as carpenters worshiping Lu Ban, and later the Liyuan children worshipping Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
The postman said, "Du Kang."
Li You praised: "The only thing that can relieve worries is Du Kang. It's good, knowledgeable."
Then he saw another warehouse, which was a pickle warehouse. There was also a portrait on it, with the character on it dressed in a scribe and asked, "Who is this?"
The postman said: "Cai Yong (the father of Cai Wenji)."
"This?" Li You asked curiously: "Does Cai Yong have anything to do with pickles?"
The postman said solemnly: "It's related, they all have their surnames. This is what our postman chief thinks about. He is the most knowledgeable person here."
"Hahahaha", Li You and Hamid were almost squirting.
After laughing, Li You felt a little sad. The cultural popularity rate of the ancients was too low, and the officials were like this, let alone the people.
Li You was thinking while walking, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he remembered something.
After returning, Li You stopped drinking and asked Baihu to take the paper and pen and start writing quickly.
The next morning, Li You handed over what he had written last night to a guard and said, "You should go back to Chang'an immediately and hand this thing over to Confucius's priest."
The guard immediately stood up and left.
The team left the station and was about to set off.
Zhang Baogui rode a horse in front of the team, and asked each of the soldiers to take a piece of paper from the guards beside him, and then said, "Warriors, you see this piece of paper in your hands. The three words on it are human surnames.
The first word is pronounced ‘Li’, which is His Majesty’s surname. The second word is pronounced ‘Zhao’, which is the Zhao character in Zhao State during the Warring States Period. The third word is pronounced ‘Qian’, which is the Qian character in Kaiyuan Tongbao. Come on, everyone will follow me to read it.”
"Li, Zhao, Qian." Everyone followed him and read it.
Zhang Baogui said: "You put this piece of paper behind everyone's back."
After the soldiers got along, Zhang Baogui said, "Your Highness said, you are all warriors of the Tang Dynasty. They are not only brave and invincible, but also learn to recognize words and be educated soldiers.
This time, as long as everyone can come back alive, they will be promoted to officers. If they become officials, they will not be able to be without education.
Your Highness said, from today on, you must learn three words every day. For each word you learn, you will be rewarded with one penny, learn one less word, and deduct two pennies.
