"The sage is suspicious that His Royal Highness King Yan has a heavy army in Anton, and he is afraid that he will have a love for the throne in the future and cause trouble. But Andong is thousands of miles away, Yan Wangnuo is born with two hearts to raise troops to invade the territory, the road to the west is only two by sea and land, and the march must be mainly by land, supplemented by sea and land. The land route has to cross the Liao River, which is difficult to pass through with many swamps, and also cross the Liaoning West Corridor, which is hundreds of miles long and narrow in Yingzhou, which is conducive to defense and unfavorable attack, and at the end there is Yuguan, a dangerous barrier between mountains and seas, to enter Hebei. By sea, only the town of Duli in eastern Liaodong went south to Dengzhou by boat. As long as the defenders of the imperial court hold a few passes and Dengzhou in Yingzhou, even if the king of Yan has strong soldiers, he will be helpless. What's more, Andong is bitterly cold, and there are only more than two million mouths, and it is difficult to support the consumption of more than 100,000 troops of King Yan by relying on Andong alone. King Yan raised this strong army by relying on the many commercial houses under his command that made huge profits from the Tang Dynasty, which means that the imperial court controlled the lifeblood of King Yan. Yan Wangnuo acted rashly, the imperial court only needs to seize all its properties in the Tang Dynasty, and within half a year, it will be difficult for Yan Wang to disperse. As for the overseas islands pioneered by King Yan, they are farther away from Datang, which not only takes a long time to come and go to be affected by the time of the sea and the sky, but also occupies King Yan's soldiers and horses, and the formation of help is indescribable. In the future, as long as the Tang Dynasty does not fall into the chaos of the world, it will be even more difficult for King Yan to enter the Central Plains, and at most he can only divide Anton and stand on his own......"

Li Zhi nodded in agreement, thinking to himself, why didn't he think of this?

"In the future, when there is something in the Nuo Dynasty, and the kings of the clan have no soldiers and no power, it is difficult to have influence, and the king of Yan has troops outside, which is also a real deterrent to the unscrupulous people in the court, and will play a role in ensuring the permanence of the Tang Dynasty."

After Zhang Chao finished speaking, he didn't forget to look around, in case someone overheard what he said to the saint, if it was spread, the Empress Wu would kill him quickly, and the prime minister of the court would not be able to spare him.

Zhang Chao's small actions Li Zhi saw it in his eyes, and he was very surprised by his views today. After all, he is an old man who has followed him for decades, and Li Zhi knows very well what his nature is. The old eunuch, who was originally honest and dutiful, suddenly had a good understanding of the situation of the clan of the dynasty and the way of Anton's march into the Central Plains, and he could also use the ancient Yujing to warn Yu Wu. This in itself reveals something unusual.

Li Zhi didn't know that Zhang Chao's explanation of his big truth today was actually that Li Yu had deliberately revealed to Zhang Chao in front of him in a casual way that he lamented the current situation, maybe Zhang Chao would be able to use it one day.

Because Li Yu knew that Zhang Chao would definitely defend him in front of his father and queen mother, and dispel the news that was unfavorable to him in the ears of his father and queen mother.

When Li Yu did not leave the palace to open the mansion, Zhang Chao spent more time taking care of him than Li Zhi and Empress Wu, who were parents, in the ten years of life in the Daming Palace. Although one is the master and the other is the servant, it does not prevent Zhang Chao from loving Li Yu, a smart and approachable highness.

The melancholy in his heart was explained by Zhang Chao, but it was very smooth, Li Zhi no longer thought about why Zhang Chao could have a great reason today, waved his hand and ordered him to retreat, and sat alone in the dormitory to think about future measures.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Zhi exhaled a breath of turbidity and sighed: "According to Zhang Chao's words, Yu'er's support of troops is based on Anton, and it is a good thing for my Li family's Jiangshan Sheji. There is chaos inside and outside, and there is chaos outside, and it can be controlled inside, that is, inside and outside! ”

……

When Zhang Chao walked out of the Hanliang Hall to a place where there was no one, he let out a sigh, although it was a cold winter, his back was already wet with sweat, and he sighed: "His Royal Highness King Yan, the old slave can only help you get here." ”

"I wonder if anyone is eavesdropping?" Zhang Chao had doubts in his heart, "Today's promise to the sage is denounced, and there is only one death." ”

Li Yu didn't know about the conversation between the master and servant in Hanliang Palace, and was taking Xin'er and his daughters to a horse farm purchased and built by Tiberius at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in the south of Chang'an City, to check the more than 5,000 good horses purchased in turn last year.

The horse farm covers an area of tens of miles, with plenty of space for horses to gallop.

As soon as Li Yu and the others entered the racecourse, they saw thousands of horses galloping, as deafening as thunder.

Li Yu came today to see how many thousand horses Tiberius had bought for himself, and to choose another horse for himself.

Last year, he picked an Arabian horse with a pitch-black body and named it Black Wind, and this year Li Yu wanted to pick a sweaty horse and a Persian horse, and the requirement was to be tall and fast.

After all, if the battle situation is unfavorable on the battlefield, wouldn't it be easier for the mount to run fast and escape for his life?

Hehe! Li Yu's nature of being afraid of death can't be changed.

"Tiberius, you bought these horses, can you recommend me a good horse?"

Li Yuyao pointed to the sweaty and bloody horses in front of him, which were as high as more than 3,000, and asked with a smile.

Tiberius immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Highness is wise and powerful, and he is the king of horses." ”

"According to what Qing said, there is a horse king among the sweaty horses?"

"Back to Your Highness."

Tiberius pointed to one of the sweaty horses, which was half a head taller than the others, and was staring at the steed of Li Yu and his party with scrutinizing eyes and said: "That's it, this horse leads the entire herd of sweaty horses, tall and strong, strong limbs, and extremely fast. It was the caravan that accidentally found itself when it was camping in the wilderness in Anguo, and it took the initiative to enter the herd of horses purchased by the caravan, and soon ruled the entire herd of horses, and followed to Chang'an. ”

"It's so bizarre?"

Xin'er and the girls shouted softly, and couldn't help but take out their binoculars to take a closer look.

I saw that the king of horses seemed to be dissatisfied with their peeping, snorted and exhaled a breath of hot air, and kicked two strong and powerful horses' hooves from time to time.

Li Yu also saw such a miraculous horse for the first time, and was very pleased to obtain this horse king, so Tiberius sent someone to catch the horse king and put him in the saddle, and he wanted to ride it for a try.

Tiberiuston's face was so bitter that even the stewards in charge of the horse farm seemed to have something to hide.

"What do you mean by looking embarrassed?"

finally found a favorite horse, but his subordinates looked embarrassed, and Li Yu was unhappy.

"Your Highness, this horse king was supposed to be a wild horse before, wild and untamable, and no one has been able to tame it so far. Several people tried to put the reins on it and put it in the saddle and were kicked and injured by it. ”

The steadon said hatefully.

"Hahaha...... No wonder he can become the king of horses with thousands of horses. ”

Li Yu was even happier when he heard that it was a wild horse, and laughed: "Since ancient times, good horses have been matched with heroes......

Li Yu just said the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence stopped, which was really unspeakable.

Since ancient times, good horses have been matched with heroes, there are Xiang Yu and black horses in the east, and Alexander the Great in the west has Debussephilus. Both horses are fierce and unruly, and no one can control them, and only the heroes of the world can subdue them.

"The mystery of this horse king seems to have a mystery, I see that his nature is smart and quite spiritual, so I will name it Lingxuan."

Li Yu said, and then whipped his horse and galloped towards the king of horses, shouting: "Since you have entered my horse farm as my mount, you see how I can tame it?" ”
