Zhao Junsheng agreed to Belus's request and incorporated all the members of his mission into the mission sent to Persia by the Great Cadres.

In order to ensure their safety, after Wen He signed the agreement, Zhao Junsheng tried to find a way to keep Wen He and his party in Chang'an for more than half a month, so that Belus, his entourage and the Daqian delegation could leave half a month earlier.

The mission sent by Zhao Junsheng to Persia this time included one envoy and one deputy envoy, more than 20 officials and civil servants, 100 cavalry guards, 200 mounted horses, and 100 camels for transportation.

If you want to pass through the countries of the Western Regions, you don't have to worry, you don't have to worry about crossing the Tianshan Mountains, there is still the sphere of influence of Daqian, and you don't have to worry too much when you enter the Dawan Kingdom, the relationship between the Dawan Kingdom and the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years is not bad, and some time ago I also sent envoys to Chang'an to meet the court.

However, from Dawan to Khorezm need to pass through a large area, this area belongs to the newly rising Yue, or more dangerous, and so on to Khorezm, where the Red Huns are vassals of the Oda people, they are actually the descendants of the Kushan Dynasty, is the other part of the Dayue clan, in the Han Dynasty, the Dayue clan and the Han Dynasty together against the Huns, so the Red Huns and the Central Plains still have some origins.

It wasn't until half a month later that Zhao Junsheng sent someone to send away Prince Wenhe and his party, and he was relieved.

On this day, he called Li Ji, the secretary of Honglu Temple, to inquire about the situation of Wu Qingquan, who was sent to the Southern Dynasty.

"Back to Your Majesty, Wu Qingquan sent someone to send a letter two days ago, in which he said that everything was fine, he used that matter to question the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty, and suppressed them, and the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty flatly denied that it was not the idea of the Southern Dynasty court, it was Huang Guangyao who did not go through the Southern Dynasty court to make the decision without authorization, and they also said that Huang Guangyao was only an envoy sent to Chang'an by the Southern Dynasty, not an envoy sent to Rouran, and he had no right to make a secret agreement with the Rouran people!"

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng smiled, "I had already guessed that they would come to this set, but it doesn't matter, our purpose is just to suppress them!" By the way, I think you should go to the Heavenly Prison to see Huang Guangyao, how can you also be old friends, go and see him, he should know the news that the Southern Dynasty abandoned him! ”

Li Ji understood what Zhao Junsheng meant, and bowed down and agreed: "The minister understands!" ”

Half a month later, Huang Guangyao's family was escorted to Chang'an by the secret agents of the Qianguo side, and Huang Guangyao hugged his head and cried after meeting his family, and his family felt that they would have the rest of their lives after the disaster.

Previously, because Huang Guangyao was abandoned by the Southern Dynasty, his family was also arrested and sent to the army, but he was rescued by the people in the black sweatshirt halfway.

Only a few days later, Huang Guangyao chose to change his camp and serve Qianguo, Zhao Junsheng treated him well, ordered someone to prepare a house for him in Chang'an City, let him recuperate at home for two months, and then ordered him to go to Hexi to take up a post, and his family also went with him.

After receiving the relevant news, the Southern Dynasties vigorously denounced Huang Guangyao.

In the evening of that day, when Zhao Junsheng was walking in the palace, he only laughed when he heard Li Ji talk about the news that the Southern Dynasty and the opposition were denouncing Huang Guangyao, and he was quite disdainful: "They were the ones who abandoned Huang Guangyao, and now they are in turn denouncing him for defecting to the enemy and treason, these people are really shameless!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Li Ji echoed.

At this time, Lu Xuanbo hurriedly came over to report: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Western Regions!" ”

Zhao Junsheng glanced at Li Ji, "There are no outsiders here, Li Qing should also know, you say, what happened?" ”

"He was escaped by the Tianzhu monk Tan Wuye, he relied on his strong martial arts to climb over the snow peak on the green ridge and fled into the territory of the people!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned, and his tone was very unkind: "You have ten inner worshippers to assist in arresting him, but they can't catch him, are they all eating dry rice?" ”

Lu Xuanbo lowered his head, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty is angry, this Wuye martial arts are very complex, ruthless and cunning, it is really not easy to catch him!" Chen wants to personally go to the Western Regions to organize people to arrest Tan Wuye! ”

"Now that everyone has run away to get under the control of the people, you will reveal your identity as soon as you go, how can you arrest you?"

"Ministers can be disguised as merchants, and now there are many caravans between the East and the West, and even if the ministers are in the realm of the Bada people, they will not arouse suspicion!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "The territory of the Bada people is not small, he entered the territory of the Bada people by himself like a drop of water melted into the sea, how do you find it?" ”

Lu Xuanbo clenched his fists and said: "The minister thinks that Tan Wuye must have another purpose to go to the palace, he is likely to persuade the king to form an alliance with Rouran to deal with my Daqian, as long as he goes to the city of Badiyan of the king of the king, he should be able to find him!" ”

Zhao Junsheng hadn't thought that the Rouran people would take the initiative to disobey the people, but now he was reminded by Lu Xuanbo, he thought about it carefully, there was really a possibility, the people were not a country that could abide by the agreement, as long as there were enough benefits, they would dare to do anything.

After some thought, Zhao Junsheng agreed: "Okay, you go, I will find someone to temporarily replace you in charge of the affairs of the black guard!" But you're not here to capture him, you're going to kill him! ”

"Yes!"

After Lu Xuanbo left, Zhao Junsheng asked Lin Jinghui to temporarily take over the position of the commander of the black guards to maintain the operation of the black guards.

On the fifth day of November, Lin Jinghui reported to Zhao Junsheng that the black-clothed guard had received reliable information that the Rouran people had sent an envoy to secretly go south to Jiankang, but the black-clothed guards had no relevant clues in the inner line of Rouran.

"What did the Rouran envoy talk about with the emperor of the Southern Dynasty?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

Lin Jinghui said: "According to the inside report, the Rouran envoy tried to persuade Liu Jun, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, to make an appointment to send troops to attack my Daqian, and Liu Jun is currently considering it!" ”

Zhao Junsheng walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking about the possible follow-up development of this matter, he stopped and asked, "Has the black-clothed guard counted the military strength of the Southern Dynasty at present?" ”

Lin Jinghui replied: "In June, I did a new survey and statistics, and according to the reports sent from various quarters, there are 150,000 soldiers and horses in the Southern Dynasties, 100,000 scattered in various places, and 50,000 in Jiankang!" Among the 100,000 scattered in various places, 40,000 or 50,000 are deployed in Huainan and the areas north of the Yangtze River to guard against our army! ”

In addition, in recent years, the land annexation of the Southern Dynasties was serious, and a large number of commoners and small landowners lost their land and became tenants of wealthy families, ministers, and military generals, or directly became refugees. According to the calculations of the black-clothed guards, if a big war breaks out, the Southern Dynasty can recruit 50,000 people from the civilian population to participate in the war within a month, and they have sufficient reserves in terms of armament, and there is no shortage of food and grass! ”

Zhao Junsheng frowned, "The Southern Dynasties have been recuperating in recent years, and their strength has grown quite fast!" How many troops do they have in Bashu? ”

"Bashu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the Southern Dynasty's troops in Bashu are not very many, from the intelligence secretly collected by our spies from their official mansion, the number of troops in the archives of the Bashu defenders is about 18,000 people, but as far as we know, there is a very serious situation of empty wages in the Southern Dynasty army, after summarizing the news from all aspects, we get that the actual number of troops in Bashu is about 10,000 to 12,000 people!"

"Is the situation of empty salaries in the Southern Korean army so serious?" Zhao Junsheng was greatly surprised, almost more than one-third of this empty salary was eaten, it was too terrifying.

Lin Jinghui clenched his fists: "Yes, in fact, the number of troops on paper in the Southern Dynasty has reached 250,000, but in fact there are only 150,000, and the number of lieutenant generals and colonels has reached 100,000!" ”

Zhao Junsheng gasped, the total number of troops was only 250,000, and the amount of empty food reached 100,000, which shocked the lieutenant generals and colonels of the Southern Dynasty Army to be so rampant!

But he was also relieved, the Southern Dynasty seemed to be a behemoth, in fact, the interior had long been hollowed out by the eunuchs and clans, and the serious land annexation made a large number of small farmers and small landlords homeless, and could only be reduced to the tenants of the displaced people and wealthy families, although the Southern Dynasty could organize the young and strong among these displaced people and tenants into an army in the shortest possible time, but does such an army have combat effectiveness? He had no doubt that as long as they went to the battlefield, these rabbles would immediately drop their weapons and take off their armor and run away, as for those regular troops, probably only God knows how much combat strength they still have, maybe it's okay to bully the common people.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, and immediately said to Lin Jinghui: "How much force does the black-clothed guard have in the Southern Dynasty? Can you pull up a wave of people to assassinate the Rouran Messenger? I need time to organize my troops to inflict heavy losses on Rouran, and then focus on completely solving the Southern Dynasty! ”

Lin Jinghui sighed and clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty forgives you, Your Majesty set the purpose at the beginning of the order to form the Black Guard, the main responsibility of the Black Guard is to collect information, so we have been committed to the cultivation of secret agents over the years, the training of assassins does not cost much manpower and material resources, and the secret power in Jiankang is really limited, the Rouran Envoy not only has its own strong guard, but the Southern Dynasty has also sent heavy troops to strengthen its protection, if you must assassinate the Rouran Envoy, it is not impossible, and the minister cannot guarantee success!" ”

After thinking for a while, Zhao Junsheng gave up his plan to assassinate the Rouran envoy, and he instructed Lin Jinghui: "The assassination is stopped, and the people from the Jiankang branch must find out whether the Rouran envoy has reached some agreement with the Southern Dynasty, and report it to me as soon as there is news!" In addition······ I need a comprehensive report from the Southern Dynasties, including the famous ministers and celebrities of the Southern Dynasties, the actual armament status of the garrisons in various places, the price level of various parts of the Southern Dynasties, the state of food and ordnance reserves, etc., and send them to me as soon as possible! ”

"No!"

Ten days later, Lin Jinghui sent all the reports that Zhao Junsheng needed, and brought two pieces of news: "Your Majesty, there are two pieces of news: first, Commander Lu was obstructed by the Bada people when he led people to hunt down and kill Tan Wuye in the country of Bada, and Commander Lu sent someone to send news that he was seriously injured, and the operation to hunt and kill Tan Wuye failed again, and Tan Wuye may have reached some agreement with Rou Ran and Bada on behalf of Tan Wuye!" ”

"Second, the Jiankang branch reported that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Liu Jun, was furious when he met with the Rouran envoy, and drove the Rouran envoy out of the palace, and Rouran's attempt to unite the Southern Dynasty to attack our country failed, but the Jiankang branch reported that the Rouran envoy was gone, and they disappeared in Jiankang City!"
