I'm a marquis in Datang

Page 231

With a shy expression on her face, Mrs. Liu leaned against Li Dayen's side, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly said: "Your Highness, I heard that you received envoys from the imperial court today, and there are many delicacies at the banquet. It spread."

"Hahaha…"

Li Daen smiled and said: "It is true."

Liu Shi said: "Can I let the envoys of the imperial court stay longer? They stay, and I can learn from their cooks, so that I can cook for Your Highness. Although I am dull, I will definitely strive for an early date." learned."

A gleam flashed across Li Dayen's eyes.

The opportunity is here.

This is an opportunity to break the news.

Chapter 188

In the middle

Li Dayen lay lazily, and slowly said: "Don't worry, my dear, the court envoys will stay for a while. They won't leave in a short time."

Liu's eyebrows raised, and said: "Really? Oh, this is really great. If they stay, then the concubine can study hard, so that I won't be in a hurry to learn something different."

Li Daen was a little drunk when he spoke, but he still said: "They came this time for two things. The first thing is to send a batch of military rations so that the king can resist the Turks in the north. They arrived first, And one more step, big

The batch of military rations will be delivered.The second thing is that after the delivery of the military rations, they will go to the Turks to promote peace between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. "

Liu's eyes flickered when he heard it.

She didn't expect to get two such important news.

As the saying goes, before soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first. Food and grass are necessities in wartime, and they can be called strategic materials.In particular, the large amount of grain sent by the Tang Dynasty was extremely important to Yuan Junzhang in Shuozhou and the Eastern Turks.

And next, Changsun Shunde and others are going to send envoys to East Turk. Once the news comes out, and East Turk and Yuan Junzhang know the news in advance, then for them, it means they have the opportunity to arrange in advance.

Both pieces of news are very important.

Liu's thoughts were in a hurry, and she had already written it down, but her face did not show the slightest, she still had a shy look, and said slowly: "Your Highness, I don't care what they do here, I just I hope they can stay for a longer period of time. In this way, I can learn more cooking skills."

Li Dayen stroked Liu's satin-like back with rough hands, and said, "Don't worry, you have plenty of time to study."

After a pause, Li Da'en said: "This king still has to instruct you not to leak out the envoys sent by the imperial court, do you understand?"

Liu Shi chuckled and said, "His Royal Highness, when will this concubine become a talkative person?"

Li Dayen said: "This king believes in you."

Liu Shi smiled shyly, but there was a look of success in that smile.

For her, she thinks it is really easy to deal with a common man like Li Dayen.The only thing is, her pristine body is often spoiled by Li Dayen, but she is unwilling mentally, but her body enjoys it.

Li Daen didn't say much, and went to sleep directly.

The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, Li Daen had already left early.He claimed to the outside world that he was taking Du Qi and Changsun Shunde for a stroll in Yanmen, but in fact he took Du Qi, Changsun Shunde and others to investigate the terrain and landforms to finalize the final location of the operation.

In addition, troops are still being dispatched.

in order to put it into action.

Of course, all of this was going on quietly, and no one knew about it.

While Li Dayen, Du Qi and the others were busy, the news of Liu's had already spread out first.The messenger rushed all the way, and after leaving Daizhou, he went straight to Mayi, Shuozhou.

Because Mayi was Yuan Junzhang's headquarters, and Yuan Junzhang was entrenched in Mayi. In fact, he failed to control the entire Shuozhou, because many places were actually controlled by the East Turks, and they were used as places for the East Turks to harvest grain.

Although Yuan Junzhang said he was in Mayi, he did not garrison troops in the city, but in the barracks outside the city.

Now, Yuan Junzhang also restrained the soldiers as much as possible, and never let the soldiers under his command wreak havoc on the place and cause harm to the people.After all, Yuan Junzhang still hopes that he can stay in Shuozhou for a while, and it is best to control the entire Shuozhou.

This is Yuan Junzhang's idea.

in the military camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Junzhang was reviewing military affairs.In fact, Yuan Junzhang was relatively relaxed in Mayi,

And even though he is a lord, he himself was born as a mastermind and knows the principle of delegating power.

Now that he is in charge of Shuozhou, the main tasks are all handled by his adviser, Duguqiong.

Yuan Junzhang approved Duguqiong's disposal.

"call!"

The curtain of the camp tent was raised, but it was Duguqiong who entered.

Duguqiong is already in his fifties, his temples are all white, and he looks quite old.It's just that the expression in his eyes is clear, without any cloudiness.After Duguqiong entered, he bowed his body and saluted, "Daxingtai!"

Daxingtai is an official position conferred by the Turks to Yuan Junzhang.

The post of Daxingtai was first set up in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was an institution dispatched to the local area by the Shangshu Province of the North Korean Central Committee. It was responsible for administering major military and political affairs. Officials also called it Daxingtai.During the Northern Wei Dynasty and even the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they were quite powerful officials.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, there are such official positions.

Unfortunately, it was sealed by Jieli Khan.

Yuan Junzhang nodded, and said, "Dugu and poor, what's the matter?"

Duguqiong said: "Reporting to Daxingtai, Daizhou, the dark son Liu who arranged beside Li Dayen, has the latest news. This news is about the trend of Datang, please read it on Daxingtai."

After finishing speaking, Duguqiong handed over the letter.

Yuan Junzhang took it and quickly browsed it. He glanced at ten lines, and within a short period of time, he had finished reading.Yuan Junzhang was originally a conspirator, and when he saw the news, he made quick calculations in his mind.

However, he did not directly express his thoughts, but looked at Duguqiong and asked, "Duguqiong, do you think the news mentioned by Mrs. Liu is reliable?"

Duguqiong replied: "Reporting to Daxingtai, the news from the Liu family has never been false. Especially in the past year or two, the news from the Liu family has been extremely accurate. I think that the news cannot be wrong. .”

Yuan Junzhang nodded.

He also thought so, such a news, it is impossible to fake.

Yuan Junzhang thought for a while, and then said: "Then let me ask you, Datang sent a mission to Turkic. What is their intention? The question is that Datang sent another batch of military rations, and what is their intention?"

Duguqiong said sternly: "Daxingtai, actually this is easy to understand. The reason why Datang sent a mission is because the Turkic side, Jieli sent troops to invade the border of Daizhou, and even nearly killed Yanmen."

"As far as Datang is concerned, the main thoughts are now on fighting against the inside. Datang has no time to send troops to the north, so even if Jieli sends troops to invade the border, Datang can only pinch his nose to recognize it."

"The purpose of sending the mission is to seek peace and stabilize Xieli for the time being."
