With a flick of Li Xuan's fingers, the small piece of paper bounced back onto the emerald bird's calf.
Immediately afterwards, the restraining power disappeared, and the emerald bird flew into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"With this letter, half of my mission to Yangzhou has been completed." Li Xuan looked solemn, and Yu Ze stood behind him, his eyes following the emerald bird away.
"Important, from now on, all communication between Silla's envoys and the outside world is prohibited. All information, on the ground, under the water, and in the sky, will be sealed tightly by this king." Li Xuan's voice suddenly became cold. Incomparable.
"Here!" Yu Ze immediately handed over his hand.
Unexpectedly, the Silla people would use birds to send messages in advance. If Li Xuan hadn't "accidentally" noticed something was wrong and captured the kingfisher, then the Silla people would have already been in contact with each other.
There was a trace of cruelty on Li Xuan's face: "Let the people of Baiqisi keep an eye on me. I want to know every move of everyone under King Wenwu. If we can find evidence that Silla is connected with that person, Then even if there is no evidence to prove that he is related to the King of Donghai, I will kill his entire family."
Even if he is personally dissatisfied with the imperial court, he still communicates with foreign enemies.
Li Xuan wanted to kill this kind of national thief right now.
"Your Majesty, are you going to completely cut off the connection between Silla, the King of East China Sea, and Tubo?" Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
Li Xuan didn't speak, just nodded silently.
Only in this way, Silla's hidden line will follow Li Xuan's wishes and send back the information that Li Xuan wants them to send back to Silla.
Although Jin Renwen was in the Tang Dynasty, he also had many arrangements in Silla.
Information was even transmitted through secret lines that even Datang didn't know about.
But he never imagined that this route would be quietly used by Silla's informants.
But it just so happened that the information sent back from this road was easier for the people of Silla to believe.
But it was not enough. To unsettle people in Silla, another fire was needed.
In the dark night, Cui Zhongshi was very careful to avoid all kinds of spies, light and dark, left Jin Renwen's residence in Yangzhou, and finally got directly into a carriage.
"How are you, have you contacted Qindu?" A man wearing a black hood, always covering his face, appeared in the carriage.
"Contacted." Cui Zhongshi stared at the man in black with bright eyes.
The man in black didn't seem to notice Cui Zhongshi's gaze, and just asked directly: "How?"
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was angry because of the King of East China Sea." Cui Zhongshi stared at the man in black, and he intercepted a few words from the message he sent.
"My master." The man in black raised his head. Under the dim light, he looked like a middle-aged man. He had narrow cheeks, a tall nose, and a sinister expression. Facing Cui Zhongshi's accusation, he frowned. Tightly wrinkled.
Cui Zhongshi shook his head calmly and said: "You yourself know the reason for this. I need you to attack the Hangzhou Navy and Yangzhou Navy immediately. If reinforcements are really allowed to arrive in Silla, I am afraid there will be a fierce battle immediately. .”
The man in black looked at Cui Zhongshi and asked with furrowed brows, "What on earth did Qin Dun say?"
"I didn't say anything. In fact, your master is in the same predicament as my king. The king wants to send people to take away my king's head. And because my king is here, the king wants to lead his troops to conquer Chang'an directly. Now that I think about it, King Tang also had the same attitude and was so angry." Cui Zhongshi's expression was very cold.
The man in black raised his eyebrows: "You already know about that?"
"This matter is not a secret in Chang'an, and many people in Yangzhou have already learned about it." Cui Zhongshi cupped his hands in front of the man in black, and then said: "Please speed up your actions, otherwise once the army arrives in Silla, Our court may not be able to delay the main force of the Tang Army from retreating, so please forgive me if we do anything unreasonable."
After Cui Zhongshi finished speaking, he slightly cupped his hands again, then turned around. The moment the carriage turned into the alley, he quickly jumped out of the carriage and disappeared into the alley in the blink of an eye.
In the carriage, the face of the man in black was already very gloomy. The attitude of the Silla people was too obvious. If the reinforcements entering Silla could not be solved in advance, then the Silla people would very likely repeat the battle on the battlefield.
Although no one has yet given an accurate conclusion on the duplicity and capriciousness of the Silla people, many people agree that the Silla people cannot be trusted.
The carriage drove slowly on the street, sometimes turning into unknown alleys, and finally turning onto the long street, and finally drove into a luxurious mansion in Dongchengshan Shanfang.
The black and gold plaque on the door of the mansion clearly bears two large characters: Li Zhai.
The carriage stopped deep inside Li's house. When the man in black got out of the car, the black brocade clothes on his body had disappeared. He was completely replaced by a blue moire brocade dress. The whole person looked extremely elegant.
At this moment, an old man with white beard and hair walked past him without even looking at him, but he had already stepped aside and bowed without raising his head.
After the old man had passed by, the man in Tsing Yi turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Next to the waterside pavilion in the backyard is a family temple. There is a small door in the family temple leading to the Buddhist temple behind.
It's just that the family temple is quiet, few people come here, and the ground is already covered with dead leaves.
Yirenren turned around and entered the backyard of the Buddhist temple through the small door. There were no novice monks here, only the sound of chanting sutras coming from the front yard.
The man in green entered the easternmost Zen room, where a monk in black was chanting sutras sincerely.
The man in green stood behind the monk, bowed slightly and said, "Master."
"You can just call the poor monk Wu Ai, Mr. Li." Wu Ai turned around, with a somewhat yellow face, his eyes were clear, as if he could see directly into the heart of people's hearts, and a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows were slanted into his temples.
Under the black cassock, there was a faint feeling that there was a huge power lurking inside.
This person turned out to be the demon monk Wu'ai whom the court had tried to capture several times before.
"Master Wu'an." Mr. Li saluted seriously.
Wu Ai looked at Mr. Li calmly and said softly: "Is there an outcome to the matter?"
"Yes." Young Master Li stood up straight, clasped his hands and said to Wu Ai: "Qin Bu sent a message, and the Tang Emperor was angry, all because of the incident with King Donghai."
"Oh?" Wu'an brows couldn't help but be surprised, and said softly: "If that's the case, it can be explained."
The fact that King Donghai is a descendant of Prince Yin has already caused countercurrents in the court, and even the emperor is extremely afraid of him.
Now, the Silla people launched an offensive again, trying to delay the Andong Army of the Tang Dynasty on the East Island, and then wait for the arrival of winter to completely tear the Tang Army apart.
They originally hoped that Datang's nervous reaction would be slower so that they could bleed the Tang army to death with one blow, but now Datang has obviously reacted.
In order to stifle the hidden risks, they even did not hesitate to mobilize more military power to solve the potential risks that Silla might bring.
At the same time, it is also conceivable that in order to deal with this time's Tubo War, Datang has begun to prepare to squeeze the domestic potential, and it must also be prepared for the Tubo War.
If this war with Tubo ended with the defeat of the Tang Dynasty, then the trauma suffered by the Tang Dynasty would be even greater than the defeat of Dafeichuan that year.
But in this case, Datang's chances of winning on the Western Front battlefield will be higher than after the defeat on the East Island.
Although this is not necessarily a bad thing, it is something that King Donghai had not expected before.
In other words, the reaction of Li Zhi and Empress Wu to the descendants of Prince Yin was far greater than they expected. ..
Wu Ai vaguely felt that there was something wrong with her.
Datang's response in the East Island and the Western Regions was stronger than before, but why was the response in Chang'an slightly dull?
Are they plotting something secretly?
The demon monk sat there without anger, and the light flashing deep in his eyes indicated that he was not at peace in his heart.
Keeping this idea in mind, Yao Monk Wu Ai then asked: "What else does Silla say?"
"Xinluo envoy hoped
I hope we can quickly deal with the Hangzhou Navy, Yangzhou Navy, and most importantly, the King of Nanchang. It seems that they are very worried about the King of Nanchang killing Dongdao. ” Mr. Li had a trace of doubt on his face.
Even if the King of Nanchang has some ability, it is nothing compared to generals like Li Jinxing, Gao Kan and Hei Te Changzhi who have been in Dongdao for many years.
"You can't look at it like that!" Wu Ai broke through Mr. Li's thoughts with one glance. He shook his head slightly and said, "Li Jinxing, Gao Kan and Hei Teochang's behavior and behavior, the people of Silla have long understood it.
But once a young general like the King of Nanchang who doesn't know the truth and is very sharp arrives in Silla, he will definitely attack Silla from the weaknesses that ordinary people can't see before. In addition, there are seasoned generals like Li Jinxing, Gao Kan and Heijia Changzhi. , once they seize the opportunity, the Silla people will be very passive, and even if they do not do well, they will be beaten to the bottom of Jincheng. "
"I see." Although Mr. Li doesn't know what the catfish effect is, he can still understand the general principles.
"In that case, Master, we have to take action against the King of Nanchang." Mr. Li's expression suddenly became solemn.
"First, let's make arrangements for the Zhoushan pirates and the Yangzhou shipyard. As for the King of Nanchang, do you remember that you once said that the King of Nanchang has a friendly relationship with Liang Fuling, the daughter of Yongchang Bo?" A trace of sternness flashed deep in the demonic monk's innocent eyes. Light.
"More than that." Mr. Li nodded and said, "It is said that when the King of Nanchang went south to annihilate the Tianyin Sect, the female prince of the Liang family gave advice to the King of Nanchang. Therefore, after the war was settled, the imperial court awarded her the title of King of Yongchang County. True to the fifth rank."
When he mentioned the fifth rank, a trace of jealousy flashed deep in Mr. Li's eyes.
"What did you originally plan to do?" Wu'ai followed up and asked.
"Uncle Yongchang died of illness, but the funeral has passed, so I plan to let my brother and his second son marry the king of Yongchang County. After all, although Uncle Yongchang is no longer here, there is still Shi Jin, the captain of Zhechong of Xinlin Prefecture. If so, we can marry him." The Xinlin Mansion is involved, and when a big event comes together, it will definitely give Lang Jun some help."
The four Zhechong Prefectures under the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion have nearly 5,000 regular soldiers. If the nearby prefectures and counties can be integrated, it will not be a problem to have an army of 20,000 to 30,000, or even directly claim to be an army of 100,000.
"It is indeed careful enough, but it is a long-term solution. For now, we still need to find a way to target the King of Nanchang from the Yongchang County Lord, so that the King of Nanchang has to let go of the people around him. The guard came alone to see the Lord of Yongchang County and took the opportunity to kill him."
