Chapter 837: Plans Change
The day after arriving in Tongding, Chen Fei went to the workshop early in the morning to start his task - making gunpowder.
As the saying goes, complete the task early and go home early, he has always been a man who cares about his family, and he can't wait to grow eight hands now to finish the gunpowder at one time.
The amount of gunpowder needed to deploy thousands of mines for one person can be imagined. Anyway, without ten days and half a month, Chen Fei didn't want to walk out of the door of the workshop.
The Goguryeo people outside the border line did not sit idle because of the truce, and they frequently sent envoys to negotiate with Silla on the one hand, claiming that the war that had suddenly started before was a complete misunderstanding, and that the refugees were mistakenly taken for Silla soldiers, which led to a bloody war between the two sides.
On the other hand, Goguryeo secretly sent envoys to Belle and made heavy promises to try to join forces with Belle and reach an alliance.
At the same time, Goguryeo did not give up negotiations with the Tang king, and frequently sent envoys to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, after the last fruitless negotiation, the king of Goguryeo also learned wisely, and the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty this time not only met with the Tang king, but also frequently contacted many ministers in the imperial court, trying to change the imperial court's impression of Goguryeo.
A month after Chen Fei arrived in Tongding, a piece of news was delivered from Chang'an City to Chen Fei.
The sender is Fan Jiang, and when he sees the signature Chen Fei, he roughly knows what the news is about. After eagerly opening the envelope, what was written inside was exactly the same as Chen Fei had guessed.
Fan Jiang successfully escorted the two children of the Lu family back to Chang'an secretly to report to the saint. Li Shimin was furious when he learned the news, but because the Lu family was powerful and one of the seven sects and five surnames, he was quite influential in the family, and the Lu family was in Fanyang, far away from Chang'an, so he had to be cautious.
You know, rabbits will bite people when they are forced to be in a hurry, not to mention a behemoth like the Lu family? Li Shimin will not forget how his Li family won the world in the first place.
If they weren't born in a family and had to be helped by various families, how could there be today's Tang Dynasty?
In other words, if the family can overthrow the rule of the previous dynasty, it will naturally be able to shake the current rule of Li Shimin.
Although the Lu family is not ranked high among the seven families, if the Lu family is forced to be in a hurry, it will really raise troops against the imperial court, and it will definitely be able to quickly call on its not weak force.
What's more, the Lu family is not the only one who is dissatisfied with the Li dynasty.
When the Li family won the world, they did not share the benefits of each family as agreed in advance, but immediately turned their faces and denied people, suppressing the rights and influence of the family everywhere. For example, the purpose of the implementation of the imperial examination system is to overturn the situation of the family's monopoly of talents.
The imperial examination system touched the pain of the interests of various families, and weakened the rights and influence of the families. The major families were dissatisfied, but they had to break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
If a certain family rebels, I believe that there must be more than one family willing to hold high the banner of righteousness. Even those families who did not participate in the rebellion on the surface could not be said to be doing some fishing in troubled waters behind their backs.
Therefore, no matter what, it is not appropriate to immediately turn against the Lu family now. At least before the head of the Lu family is controlled, it is not appropriate to turn his face.
You must know that Chang'an and Fan Yang are thousands of miles apart, if Li Shimin really plans to take down the Lu family, it is estimated that it is too late to deploy troops, and the Lu family will take the first move - the opposite!
At that time, the situation will be passive, and at least it will be too shaken, and at worst, it will change dynasties. Either way, it's not what Li Shimin wants to see.
Therefore, Li Shimin decided to move in secret.
How do you do it secretly? Chen Fei saw the second page of the letter and almost vomited blood in anger.
The so-called secret move is to let him lead the special forces to find an opportunity to infiltrate the Lu family and take down the head of the Lu family and a cadre of leaders in one fell swoop.
Li Shimin issued the order to Fan Jiang and asked Fan Jiang to notify Chen Fei of the order. Now, Fan Jiang has arrived in Fanyang with a hundred special soldiers, waiting for Chen Fei to return from the border to carry out the plan.
As for Goguryeo........ As a result of a series of actions made by the Goguryeo monarch's envoys, there were people in the court who gradually opposed the war.
Originally, the purpose of the war was to encircle Wei to save Zhao and relieve the crisis of Silla. Now that the Silla crisis has been resolved, the use of troops against Goguryeo is unkind, and it costs a lot of national and people's strength. Therefore, the plan to attack Goguryeo was temporarily put on hold, and Li Shimin had no choice but to change the plan, and the only way to do Goguryeo was to slowly plan for it in the future...... Just let them bounce for a few more days.
After reading the letter, Chen Fei felt very speechless, the situation in the imperial court was really changeable, and the plan to attack Goguryeo would change without any warning.
What's even more excessive is that if he doesn't fight Goguryeo, he won't let him go home, and he will actually let him go to Lu's house to get people non-stop........
"Brother Yin, have you read the letter? Well, this is an opportunity to make your enemies bloody and don't miss it. ”
Yin Ping held the letter tightly, his eyes became red, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he seemed to be quite unsettled.
Suddenly, Yin Ping thought about Chen Fei kneeling on one knee, clenched his fists and said: "If the revenge is avenged, Yin is willing to be a cow and a horse for you, and there will be no complaints." ”
Seeing Yin Ping so serious, Chen Fei was startled and hurriedly helped him up, "Brother Yin, there is no need to say such polite words between you and me." Whoever is with the other is a brother, so you don't have to see each other like this. You have saved me so many times and have not repaid me properly, and this time dealing with the Lu family is also a promise I should fulfill, you don't have to. ”
Yin Ping lowered his head and did not speak, it could be seen that his emotions were very unstable and he needed to calm down.
Seeing this, Chen Fei didn't persuade him much, just patted him on the shoulder and asked him to pay attention to rest, and he would leave Fan Yang early tomorrow morning.
Yin Ping nodded, turned around in silence, and entered his room.
Chen Fei sighed after seeing him enter the room, and then left, looking for Tang Zheng.
After a month of getting along, Tang Zheng and Chen Fei turned out to be close friends. This person has a bold personality and integrity, and is naturally very easy to get along with.
Knowing that Chen Fei was leaving, Tang Zheng was also sad for a long time, and took Chen Fei to the house to drink hard, and he didn't get drunk and didn't return.
During the banquet, Chen Fei and Tang Zheng chatted a little about the future situation, and vaguely pointed out that there must be a war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, and Tongding will definitely become an important place for the Tang Army to send soldiers out of the border, so that Tang Zheng can prepare early, and it may be of great benefit to the future promotion and knighthood.
Tang Zheng was already drunk in a daze, and when he heard the words, he just raised his glass and wanted to drink with Chen Fei, as for how much he listened, it was not something that Chen Fei could control, so he could only ....... I wish him a promotion and a fortune?
