Zhang Guigui and the others were very happy and asked, "What big move?" ”

The lieutenant said: "Persia there is ......"

Chang'an, the Northwest Palace.

Li You was chatting with Yin Hongzhi about sending envoys, when Magpie walked in with a telegram and handed it to Li You, saying, "Lord, it's a telegram from Persia." Encrypted. ”

Li You said: "You can translate it directly." In the future, except for His Majesty's telegrams, you can directly translate and send the telegrams of other people. ”

The magpie said, "Yes, my lord, the slave will go and translate." Thank you for your trust. With that, he went out.

Yin Hongzhi said with some worry: "Your Highness, there are so many countries at once, and all the people in Honglu Temple are not enough, and the Ministry of Rites can't draw so many people, what can I do?" ”

Li You said: "This is easy, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for preparing the national documents, asking the prison to stamp the jade seal, and then sending these national letters to the government there in different directions, and they will send people to send envoys in the name of Honglu Temple."

The countries in the east, such as Buyeo, Murowei, Khitan, Ganmo, Silla, Baekje, Kyushu, and Unu, were notified by the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and they could directly ask for King Lee.

Xue Yantuo, Tiele, Tuli, Hui and other countries in the north were notified by the Yinshan Metropolitan Protectorate. The countries in the northwest were handed over to the Northwest Province and the Protectorate of the Western Regions to be notified. The south side was handed over to Li Ke, the king of Lingnan. ”

"Oh, Your Highness, you really have a way. Whatever problem comes to you, it's solved at once. Yin Hongzhi stretched his brows and praised sincerely.

"Uncle, although you are a sycophant, I am still very happy to hear it. Hehe. Li You said with a smile.

Yin Hongzhi said seriously: "I'm not a sycophant. Your head is spinning fast, and no one can accept it. ”

Soon, the magpie came in, and she said happily, "Good news, lord." ”

Li You asked, "What good news?" So saying, he took the telegram and looked at it.

The content of the telegram was about the situation in Persia, where a lot has now changed. Hamid's father, Iji III, was assassinated, as in history, and now his territory is in the hands of the prince's uncle, who has installed the three-year-old prince on the throne and blackmails the princes to the throne.

Hamid decided to take the opportunity to attack the rebels, and had already drawn up a battle plan with Cheng Yanjin, Xue Rengui and others, agreeing to conquer the area controlled by the rebels and cede the Hede Province adjacent to the Angt region to the Tang Dynasty.

Li You knew about these circumstances, and Cheng Yanjin sent a telegram, saying that the Western Expeditionary Army had trained 40,000 locals, and with the original strength, the current strength of the Western Expeditionary Army had reached 120,000, and he was waiting for Zhang Guigui to arrive with 20,000 Goguryeo troops, and he could launch a joint offensive with Hamid.

What excited the magpie was the content behind the telegram, and Li You was also excited when he saw it.

The telegram said that Hamid had heard from a merchant that a month earlier he had seen two Tang warships in the Persian Gulf, which were unusually tall and bearing the red flag of the Don Army. He also said that many people saw it at the time.

"Haha, the ocean-going fleet finally has news. White Tiger, take that nautical map. Li You said excitedly.

When the magpie saw that the prince was happy, he hurriedly ran out, shouting as he ran: "White Tiger, quickly get the navigation map for the prince." ”

Lu Tong and the others led the ocean-going fleet to the American continent, and it has been three full years, and it is said that it will not take such a long time, so Li You is worried that something will happen to them, and he can't help but be secretly anxious. No one in the court knew how far the New World was or how many years it would take, so no one mentioned it.

The dependents of those who participated in the ocean-going fleet, because they were worried about their loved ones, someone came to inquire about the ocean-going fleet. Li You had already instructed his subordinates, telling them that the place where the ocean-going fleet was going was very far away, and it would take several years, but it would not be more than five years. Those people will not come to ask.

Soon, the white tiger took the map.

Li You found the name of the place where the Tang warship appeared as mentioned by the merchant in the telegram, which was the location of Muscat, the capital of present-day Oman, at the entrance to the Persian Gulf, and he smiled: "Okay, it seems that they are coming back." ”

Yin Hongji was also very happy to hear this, and he said, "This is great. To be honest, I'm really worried that something will happen to them. That's thousands. ”

Li You said: "Magpie, you send a telegram to Liu Renliang and ask him to send a small fleet to take more supplies in the direction of the ocean-going fleet to meet Lu Tong and them." Take one radio with you, and I'll send them two more. ”

Li You paced on the ground excitedly, he seemed to have seen the red, spiky chili pepper, and his mouth suddenly began to drool.

He said to himself, "I haven't tasted roasted sweet potatoes for years, I really want to!" And potato roast beef, haha, hahaha! ”

Yin Hongzhi said: "Your Highness, hurry up and report the good news to Your Majesty and announce the news of the ocean-going fleet." ”

Li You thought about it, shook his head and said, "It's not time yet, I've been waiting for a few years anyway, so I'll just wait a few more months and wait for them to come back." ”

Yin Hongji said: "That's fine, it's more secure." ”

In fact, Li You didn't want to announce the news, because he still wanted to use this matter to dig another pit. Let those black hands hidden behind the scenes jump out and perform, and then fall into the pit.

Li You is determined to use the scene of Mount Tai Feng Zen to let all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods come out to perform well and sweep away those dark forces in the court.

Next, Li You drafted a telegram detailing the situation in Persia and the strategic intentions of the Western Expeditionary Army.

Li Shimin soon called back and approved their battle plan.

Li You immediately sent a telegram to Cheng Yanjin and others, telling them that the war in Persia had been approved by His Majesty, and that the specific battle plan and the time to send troops would be decided by them in consultation with Hamid, and there was no need to ask for further instructions.

East Palace.

Li You reported to Li Chengqian about the situation in Persia and reported his news about the ocean-going fleet.

Li Chengqian could not say anything about the war, and since he had Li Shimin's approval and he trusted Li You, he did not express any opinion. He was very happy with the news that there was an ocean-going fleet.

He said, "Fifth brother, this is great news! You don't know, before you returned to Chang'an, many people came to me about this, and they were worried or suspected that something had happened to the ocean-going fleet, after all, it had been three years.

I have also been sweating for you, this is not a trivial matter, it is related to the life and death of thousands of Tang Army officers and soldiers, the large amount of money spent on building an ocean-going fleet, and whether the imperial court's cause of opening up the open sea can continue.

It's good now, my heart has finally let go. ”

Li You was very happy, he felt that Li Chengqian had really grown and progressed. Li Chengqian not only didn't tell himself about those troubles, but he didn't want to let himself be troubled. Moreover, it is certain that Li Chengqian has done a lot of work for himself behind the scenes to persuade others not to come to his own trouble.

This is exactly the quality that a responsible man should have.

Li You said gratefully, "Thank you, big brother." ”

Li Chengqian did a lot of work for Li You behind the scenes, and he was also very happy to see Li You's appreciation, and said: "Fifth brother, for this good news, our brothers have a few drinks at noon and celebrate well." ”

Li You said: "Okay, big brother, when Lu Tong and them come back, not only will there be a earth-shaking change in the entire agriculture of Datang, but the rubber brought back will also bring great changes to the industry."

There are also spices and spices, especially chili peppers, tsk, that's a good thing! ”’

Li Chengqian also asked Li You if he would announce the news of the imminent return of the ocean-going fleet. Li You told Li Chengqian his thoughts.

Li Chengqian smiled: "Okay, let's take a multi-pronged approach, and hit them in the face when the time comes." I'm kind of looking forward to that day now. Ha ha. ”

"Hahahaha." The two brothers let out a smug chuckle. u
