In Zhongnan Academy, Bai Fan was planning the path to Shu with Li Chun and other personnel, and a disciple came to report that the court had an urgent matter.

"Elder Li, wait until you come back next time to continue the discussion, you can't do it in a hurry." Bai Fan said to Li Chun.

"I know, I know, the old man doesn't have the strength to be a doll like you? Hurry up, hurry up, go away! Li Chun waved his hand impatiently, his eyes kept looking at the Qinling Mountain Map that Bai Fan took out, and he was really puzzled in his heart, how could the dean take out such a figure? Apparently from the bird's point of view, could it be that the bird can draw a map?

In the dean's courtyard, as soon as Bai Fan entered the house, he found that someone was pacing back and forth in the house, it was none other than his old father-in-law, Li Jiancheng.

"Oh? Father-in-law? Let you go on a trip yourself, so to speak, something happened to the Japanese laborers? ”

Li Jiancheng stepped forward and grabbed Bai Fan and said: "Hey, it's not the Wa Kingdom, it's the northwest direction, it's related to your kid, the old man will come to inform you first." ”

"Northwest? What can happen in the Northwest? We even have Gaochang in hand, and the Western Turks are still pointing to us for dinner, those small countries dare to make trouble? Bai Fan asked with a smile.

"The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions have been wiped out by the Western Turks!"

"What ???"

Bai Fan exclaimed, what's the situation? When did the Western Turks get their hands dirty? I also informed the northwest a few days ago, saying that they asked them to hand over the immortal food murderer, and now they will be destroyed?

"Father-in-law? When did this happen? What is the cause? A few days ago, my son-in-law forced them to hand over the murderer of the Yangtze River grain robbery, could it be that the Western Turks were greedy for money and destroyed them all in order to sell me land? ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Bai Fan's confident appearance, and was instantly amused by him, do you think the Western Turks are really your thugs?

"You kid, I don't know where such a big heart came from.

Originally, according to our original expectations, there was no problem, but it was precisely when you proposed to retrieve the murderer that something happened, and there was a country in the Western Regions named Yanqi, among which some of the people of the Tang Dynasty underworld hid in it.

But when these people went to take refuge, they took the baby with them, do you know what kind of treasure it is? ”

"What? Martial arts cheats? How many people should there be? If there are cheats, no one will practice. Bai Fan was puzzled.

"Wool loom!"

…… Father-in-law, what did you say?

Bai Fan's mind couldn't react a little, "Sheep, wool, weaving, machine? Father-in-law, are you right? ”

"You kid, when is it, the old man is still in the mood to joke?"

"Except for me, only Shuofang Li Daozong has a finished product, where did those people come from? Could it be that something happened to Li Daozong? Bai Fan exclaimed.

Nodding helplessly, Li Jiancheng sighed: "This is also the fact that we know now that in the face of a group of underworld masters, the imperial army does not seem to be airtight, and I am afraid that this matter is also related to the remnants of the Li family in Longxi, so the situation is very complicated."

In short, Shuofang's wool craft has been completely leaked, and Li Daozong and Duan Zhixuan have asked for punishment and are already on their way back to Chang'an. ”

Bai Fan sorted out his thoughts, "Yan Qi was wiped out by the Western Turks because of his crimes?" This doesn't make sense, there is still our Gaochang in the middle, and the Western Turks dare to provoke us? ”

"Hehe, how much do you think the Western Turks can be afraid of us?

Gao Chang? The old man said that the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were all taken by the Western Turks, and even our Gaochang was no exception. ”

"How dare they?"

Bai Fan took the case, back then, the three thousand Xuanjia dared to enter the Western Turks, and now in less than a few years, the Western Turks dare to directly occupy the territory of the Tang Dynasty?

"Whether they dare or not has already done it, the old man is looking for you, someone wants to attack you, saying that you have funded the rise of the Western Turks for many years, and it is you who have created a strong enemy for the Tang Dynasty, so you have to be careful."

"Hmph, this nonsense must be believed by Your Majesty!

No, my father-in-law can come in person, so my majesty has no clear opinion? ”

Bai Fan had a flash of inspiration, and only then did he discover the true meaning of Li Jiancheng's coming.

Li Jiancheng was silent, his younger brother was a generation of emperors after all, and his heart was unpredictable.

"Hehe, it's okay, father-in-law doesn't have to be embarrassed, little Western Turks, they are playing with fire, and the son-in-law has the means to deal with them."

Looking at Bai Fan's confident appearance, Li Jiancheng didn't say a word, the court situation is your battlefield, and you should pay attention to the emperor, not the barbarian.

But he is not Bai Fan after all, his position is different, and his mentality is naturally different, and Bai Fan has never had any reverence for the emperor.

At this time, in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, the original royal city of Gaochang was located, and now the banner of the city has been changed to the Western Turks.

The Western Turk Mo Helu's face was cloudy, and he still felt incredible when he reflected on it, he had maintained a good relationship with Datang for five years, and he suddenly made a move, and in less than a month, he actually parted ways, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

"King Zuo Xian, what is the movement of the Tang Dynasty? How's the border armed? Mohelu Khan said in a deep voice.

"Great Khan, the Tang side has shrunk its forces and is heavily defended at Yumen Pass, leaving only a few scouts here in Gaochang, and even the border security checks in the past have been removed.

We have already deployed troops on the border between our Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Khan is in charge of the Great Khan on the Gaochang side, so it is foolproof.

After five years of development, we are strong and strong, and we can easily gather 200,000 troops, and now our subordinates have felt the strength of the Eastern Turkic Jieli back then, no, we are more powerful than Jieli, with these 200,000 soldiers and horses, we are not afraid of who comes. ”

Mo Helu shook his head and said: "You don't know, the Marquis of Lantian of the Tang Dynasty once said that a strong country does not lie in the size of the territory, but in the overall strength, we occupied the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions originally wanted to sell them to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for money and grain, but because of a wool loom, we turned against the Tang Dynasty."

From now on, our wool trade can get rid of Datang, but do you know that my food supply will also be cut off because of this, without Datang's food source, do we all eat mutton every day?

In the long run, I'm afraid that we won't be able to stand up without Datang fighting back. ”

That Zuo Xian King was obviously not ignorant, and opened his mouth to persuade him: "Great Khan don't worry, haven't we already discussed it before making a plan?"

There is a saying in Datang that on the side of the couch, it is impossible to allow others to sleep soundly.

Although our Western Turks have always had good trade with them, the Hui people in the north are right, once the Tang Dynasty destroys the surrounding countries and only our Great Turks are left, they will definitely do something to us.

Therefore, we must act early to protect ourselves, and this wool loom is an opportunity.

Besides, now that we have a wool loom, we have a steady stream of woolen cloth and clothing, and we have blocked the way of doing business in the Western Regions, and we will open up the trade route to the West in the future, and we will not worry about making money.

As for food, with a group of Tang people taking refuge and the strength of the countries in the Western Regions, we should be able to survive, after all, the Eastern Turks had a good time back then without growing grain.

As long as we resist Datang's counterattack, life will only be better than now, not worse than now. ”

Mo Helu Khan sighed, it can only be like this, I just hope that the people from the Tang Dynasty are not the king of Chu.

At this time, in the Tang Dynasty Discussion Hall, Li Er had already swung his sword and cut off the book in front of him, and the Tang Military Department urgently assembled, and the war was about to begin.
