Maduo, Changzhou, in the Governor's Mansion.
Li Xuan sat in the main hall, turned around and handed the official document in his hand to Zhang Daan. Zhang Daan subconsciously asked: "But is there something going on in the court?"
"Nothing happened in the court. It's just that Queen Subi was found. The queen also named Mrs. Changguo." The corner of Li Xuan's mouth twitched slightly.
Zhang Daan couldn't help but smile, looked at the letter, and said at the same time: "As long as nothing happens... Hey, it's strange, why is there still no news about Ming Chongyan?"
"Who knows? Master Shiyin's whereabouts have always been erratic and unpredictable. No one knows where he has gone." Li Xuan calmly raised her head, looked at the people in the hall, and said: "The Pingyuan Ming family, although they are from Shandong, But he has been an official in Jiangzuo for a long time, and Qixia Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River is his foundation.
Maybe someone else has gone to Maoshan to visit Taoism, but the local governor doesn't know about it. "
Li Xuan is sitting under the main hall. On the left are Changzhou Governor Shi Zhang Daan and Sima Xing Wenwei, and Changzhou Governor Shi Yao Yi; on the right are Zuowei General Wang Xiaojie, Heyuan Prefecture Zhechong Duwei Cheng Zhongzheng, and right guard. The lieutenant general Qiu Zhenmu.
Zhang Daan was fully responsible for the operation of the Changzhou Governor's Mansion in Li Xuan's absence.
After Li Xuan figured out his relationship with Dong Gong, he no longer struggled and left everything to his own without any grudges.
Xing Wenwei was the former crown prince Dian Shancheng. Li Xuan had not had much contact with him. He had met once or twice in his early years. Later, he was transferred from the East Palace and there was no news about him.
But after all, he was a confidant who respected Emperor Li Hong. Although he was probably a pawn of the Queen of Heaven, Li Xuan still gave him some face.
Cheng Zhongzheng, the captain of Zhechong in Heyuan Prefecture, was the son of Cheng Hualiang, the second son of Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin, and Princess Qinghe, the daughter of Taizong. He was one generation younger than Li Xuan.
…
When Zhang Daan mentioned Ming Chongyan, everyone present pricked up their ears.
After Li Xuan explained, everyone couldn't help but nod.
Ming Chongyan was in charge of the secret guard, and his whereabouts had always been mysterious. Who knew where he suddenly went.
Zhang Daan handed the official document to Xing Wenwei, then looked at Li Xuan and asked: "Maybe, the Master Shiyin has arrived in Changzhou now..."
"Mr. Zhang, this is not a joke." Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Da'an angrily, and then seriously advised: "We don't care about Ming Shiyin's affairs at all, and even all matters in the DPRK, except for reports and notifications from the palace, It’s best for us to ignore all other matters now and follow your Majesty’s orders to focus on Supi!”
"Here!" Everyone present stood up at the same time and accepted the order.
Li Xuan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Now that Queen Subi has been found, it's best to start the momentum now."
"Do it now?" Xing Wenwei looked at Li Xuan with some doubts and asked, "Your Majesty, shouldn't this matter be concealed first?"
"It's useless to hide it." Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said: "The Kingdom of Subi has been gone for decades. Except for the older generation of Subi people, not many people in the current Subi Kingdom still remember that they once had A queen."
In Li Xuan's opinion, the most ruthless trick in history is to destroy his words.
Completely erase all information, deeds, names, and nicknames about a person recorded in all books.
It's like this person never existed in history.
No matter how much contribution they have made to mankind and civilization, as long as all relevant information about him is exterminated in the history books, this person will be completely dead.
This is how Tubo treated Supi. No writing before Supi was allowed to be used. All historical books before Supi were burned, and only Tubo characters were allowed to be used.
In two or three generations, the Subi Kingdom will be completely extinct.
This is the case for Su Bi at this time.
The vast majority of Subi people don't know the existence of Queen Subi. You still act in secret. Is it because you are mentally ill?
"We need to build momentum and let all party members know that the new Queen Subi is back, and they have also brought a new decree from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty:
Subi reestablished the country, established Queen Subi as king, abolished all slavery systems, and the people had the right to read and write, participate in political affairs, and become the masters of the entire country. "
Li Xuan looked at Zhang Daan and said: "Mr. Zhang, write a memorial and ask the central government to send personnel to Changzhou. The canonization ceremony of Princess Subi will be held in Maduo."
"Yes!" Zhang Daan immediately accepted the order.
Li Xuan looked at Xing Wenwei, and Xing Wenwei asked uneasily: "Did the prince say something wrong just now? They are not Dangxiang people, but Supi people. We want all Supi people to know that their queen has returned."
"My king is right, he is from Dangxiang." Li Xuan waved his hand to Xing Wenwei and said: "Now there is an obstacle in the Tongtian River, and our army cannot cross the Tongtian River, but this does not mean that the news from both sides of the strait is cut off."
Li Xuan looked outside the lobby door and said softly: "Now there is a party of party cavalry in Subi. They have deep connections with the party members in Changzhou Dudu Mansion, so as long as they go through them, Subi can be defeated." News of the queen’s return reached the ears of the Supi people.”
Everyone present suddenly came to their senses.
Li Xuan took a deep breath and continued: "Today's Supi is ruled by the Tubo system. In Supi, the Tubo people are the first race, the Supi nobles are the second race, Supi commoners and Supi slaves, We are the third and fourth race, so as long as we use His Majesty’s name to let them know that we are here to give them freedom, they will naturally know who to help?”
"Supi people, do you believe in Your Majesty and want to surpass their own emperor?" Xing Wenwei looked puzzled.
"Yes, because their queen has never been a good person. It was precisely because of the cruelty of the two Supi queens that the Supi people chose to fall into the arms of the Tubo people."
Li Xuan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "We want everyone to understand that Queen Supi will only be the superficial ruler of Supi in the future. Everything in Supi will be decided by me, the Tang Dynasty... The blade of the Tang Dynasty will , is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, these are His Majesty’s exact words.”
"Here!" Everyone present stood up and held their hands solemnly.
Li Xuan raised his head and said: "Everyone, please sit down. Your Majesty has ordered us to guard Changzhou as the main task this year, and at the same time go to the Supi gold mine. Firstly, it is to prepare for next year's war. Secondly, it is also for your Majesty's benefit." Fiftieth birthday.
Therefore, we and others cannot rush back to Chang'an in July, nor can we guarantee that we will win enough gold mines in advance.
So we postponed everything until the end of the year to capture the gold mine and show your Majesty our loyalty to the King. "
"Yes!" Everyone present stood up again.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said: "Next year, the Tubo people will probably gather a hundred thousand fighting strength for the war next year. By then, there will probably be heavy troops everywhere in the land of Supi.
But with one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, what consumes the most is food and grass. Finding the right place to store the food and grass and burning the food and grass is the most important thing that the king originally expected to do this year.
But now, His Majesty has an order, so this matter has to be moved back a little bit. "
Everyone present couldn't help but look at each other, especially Zhang Daan, Xing Wenwei and Cheng Zhongzheng.
They now finally believe that Li Xuan was able to make a lot of achievements last year because she still had two tools.
"The attack on the gold mine is actually the same." Li Xuan looked at the vast mountains outside the governor's house and said with a sneer: "The Tubo people also want to reward the soldiers and pay them. After taking away his gold mine, I will see what he gives out. Salary, Brother Xiaojie.”
"The general is here!" Wang Xiaojie stood up and accepted the order.
"In this battle, you and I will take the lead. You will be responsible for capturing the gold mine. How many troops and horses need to be mobilized from Youwei and Heyuan Mansion? Come up with a plan for yourself." Li Xuan looked at her face with surprise. Wang Xiaojie said softly: "You go to find the gold mine, and I will go straight to Qamdo. I think by that time, Lun Qinling should be in Qamdo."
The strategy of making a sound in the east and attacking in the west.
This is the most common method used by Li Xuan.
It's often hard to guard against.
It's the same now. If he doesn't say anything, you won't know where he is really focusing his efforts.
"The last general takes orders." Wang Xiaojie handed over his hand seriously.
If Li Xuan is willing to take the initiative to lead troops to Qamdo, there will be more room for maneuver here.
Wang Xiaojie was confident enough that Lun Qinling would suffer a big loss in his hands.
Li Xuan turned to look at Cheng Zhongzheng and said: "Captain Cheng is responsible for preparing the troops of Zhechong Prefecture. I don't have many requirements. After I and General Wang Xiaojie march to Supi, Heyuan Prefecture will be responsible for the defense of Tubo originally undertaken by the left and right guards." Can you handle the heavy responsibility of the invasion?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely fulfill his mission." Cheng Zhongzheng took a step to the left and handed over his hand seriously.
Li Xuan nodded and said: "This matter is important. In addition, before sending out troops, the Heyuan soldiers need to lead the soldiers of the left and right guards to patrol around the entire Changzhou state. I want them to be familiar with the terrain of the nearby places. .”
"As ordered." Everyone present immediately handed over to Ying Ming without hesitation.
"After the armies withdraw from Tubo, they must immediately switch to a defensive state. Tubo is likely to directly pursue them." Li Xuan's words made everyone present immediately understand.
They robbed the Tibetan people of their gold. It is strange that the Tibetan people were willing to do so.
"Zhang Gong, Xing Sima, Yao Changshi." Li Xuan looked at Zhang Daan and Xing Wenwei and said seriously: "Qugou is currently building a large amount of ordnance, which will be sent to Maduolai soon. These things will be deployed in various places one after another. The traffic fortress, once the Tibetans attack, I hope they will be put to use immediately."
"This is easy, Your Majesty, don't worry." Zhang Da'an took the lead and handed over his hand. Xing Wenwei and Yao Yi also handed over at the same time: "I accept the order."
Li Xuan nodded and said: "Everyone must be patient. Once the gold is robbed, the Tubo people will be very anxious. Even before that, they will be very anxious."
After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at Wang Xiaojie and said: "After the defeat of Dafeichuan, Lun Qinling urgently needs a victory to restore its military prestige. This time the army attacks Supi to seize the gold mines. Lun Qinling will be extremely prepared and waiting. We entered Supi and laid traps to catch us all, so we must march cautiously and not in a hurry, especially during this period, we can slowly play tricks with him on the timing of sending troops."
Lun Qinling had known for a long time that the Tang Dynasty was going to invade Supi, and even now many of the gold mines in Supi had been transported to Qamdo.
But he didn't know when Li Xuan would cross the Tongtian River. His spirit would be tense all the time, and he would immediately startle at the slightest sign of trouble.
Li Xuan had enough time to play with him slowly.
"Your Majesty, when will we send out troops?" Wang Xiaojie looked at Li Xuan carefully.
Li Xuan waved her hand and said: "When I send out troops, I have a good idea. But at this time, it is not decided by people, but also depends on the weather. The time of sending out troops is determined by the weather. There is no need to rush, but generally speaking, it should be the hottest time in summer." In those days, maybe the good news I am waiting for can be delivered to Chang'an on His Majesty's birthday."
"General, I will obey the order." Everyone present immediately became serious when they heard about the emperor's birthday.
"Everyone, whether we are slowly trying to deal with Lun Qinling in the early stage, or whether we are sitting at the stronghold and waiting for the Tibetans to attack in the later stage, we must have enough patience."
Li Xuan leaned forward slightly and looked at everyone with cold eyes: "Everyone, I want you to know that between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, the offensive and defensive positions have long been transformed. The advantage lies in my hands."
"Here!" Everyone present raised their hands vigorously at the same time, their eyes shining horribly.
