Li Hong is very thick-skinned, at least pure as the snow-like night moon, and he has never noticed that in this study, a living spring palace has been staged solidly just now.

And even if he finds out, I'm afraid Li Hong still looks like an old god, and he won't know what it means to be embarrassed.

"Have you found your envoy?" Li Hong looked at the night moon who was like a fan of wealth, flipping around in his study at random, and asked lazily.

"No, but ......." Yeyue suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyes were a little vigilant, but also a little weak and panicked, looked at Li Hong's bright eyes, thought for a moment and said, "But you may be in big trouble." ”

"Big trouble? What do you mean? Li Hong asked curiously, why are we in big trouble?

"My envoy of the Great Food Kingdom told my father about my abduction by King Pei, that is, your brother." Yeyue looked at Li Hong and said as calmly as she could.

"So what? You're not okay now...... It's now. Li Hong's eyes suddenly became deep, and he looked at Yeyue and asked, "You mean, it is possible for your Great Food Kingdom to use troops against the Tang Dynasty because of this?" ”

"No, I didn't say that. But...... If my father knew about my abduction, he would definitely be unhappy, and he would definitely let Datang give him an explanation. Ye Yue faced Li Hong's eyes that became a little sharp, a little flustered, and said with a knife-like look.

Li Hong stood up from the chair behind the desk, walked up to Yeyue, who was starting to look a little restrained, looked at Yeyue's tall figure back and forth thoughtfully, and asked, "You must know something, right?" Didn't you say that you should come to Datang on the first day of last year? Why is it nearly a year late, and you haven't told me what the reason is these days, and you always talk about him left and right, saying, what are you hiding? ”

"Then hand over Belus, and I will tell you." Yeyue looked at Li Hong's questioning eyes with some fear, stretched out her snow-white little hand on her chest, and whispered a little scoundrel.

Li Hong looked at the snow-white palm stretched out on his chest, slapped it like lightning and said, "Fart, Belus is now my courtier of the Tang Dynasty, why should I give it to you?" Besides, who do you think you are in the Great Food Country? Let me hand over our courtiers? What do you think? Also, the account that besieged my Tang Dynasty Tomb City back then has not been settled with you, but you have to fight it first. ”

Yeyue shook off her little hand that was a little painful by Li Hong, looked at the little hand that was a little red, and pouted in defense: "How can there be a rake?" Back then, you besieged Jiling City, did you invade other people's places? Belus, the king of Persia, is not your Tang man, how can he be your courtier? ”

"Above the Tang Dynasty, there are more courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, who told you that you have to be a Tang person to be my Tang courtier? If your father is willing to be a minister, I don't mind giving your father a position as a eunuch. Li Hong glared, looked at Yeyue, who was pouting and straightening his chest, and said with a straight face.

"Bah, don't think I don't know what a eunuch is. If you are not willing to hand over Belus, and you have taken me hostage as the princess of the Great Food Country, then you must give an account to our great caliph, and you must not just bully his daughter and take away his enemies. Yeyue was rightly confident and put herself into the negotiations.

"Yeyue, you are really getting thicker and thicker now, the Persian Kingdom was killed by your father, and people ran to my Datang to ask for help from the rescuers and restore the country for it, I am in your affection, I am unwilling to teach you a lesson for the sake of the Persian King, you are not satisfied, you don't admit your feelings, you dare to ask me to give you an explanation, you are bold, right?" Li Hong said as he stretched out his hand and gently pinched Yeyue's beautiful cheek.

Yeyue vigorously broke off Li Hong's hand on her pink cheek, and said angrily: "That's not good, that's not good, you can't really let my father send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, right?" ”

"Say what you want." Li Hong looked at Yeyue with a sneer.

"I ......." Yeyue looked at someone who was sneering, and then realized that after justifying for a long time, he was taken into the ditch by this guy without knowing it, and told the truth at once.

"You have been running out every day for the past two days, and the Persian temple that has been suspended in the winter has entered the Xishi side, and you have also seen it, at the request of the Persian king Belus, my Datang is willing to build a Persian temple for him in Chang'an to prove that he has not perished, but if you don't know what to do in the Great Food Country, you really want to take this opportunity to attack my Datang, I don't mind sending troops to your Great Food hinterland." Li Hong walked behind the desk, set up the pen and paper, and beckoned to Yeyue.

"What?" Someone walked over reluctantly, still annoyed in his heart, how did he tell the truth just now.

"Don't do anything, I supervise you to write a letter to your father, tell your true story, if your father still doesn't know what to do, and insists on attacking my Datang, let your father be prepared for his position as caliph to be overthrown." Li Hong pulled Ye Yue, who was standing aside, pressed his shoulders and pressed him on the chair, and asked him to start writing.

In the end, as for what Yeyue wrote in the letter, Li Hong didn't look at it, but handed it directly to the messenger, and the letter went from the East Palace to Dashi.

Before dawn on the second day, Li Hong put on court clothes and started the last morning court before the first day under the service of Xiaoxue and Xia Zhi.

The last court meeting before the lengthy Yuan Day, I don't know if Shangguan Yi and the others had made sufficient preparations before, or if the courtiers above the court had no opinion on what happened to Li Xian a few days ago.

In short, from the beginning to the end of the early dynasty, none of the courtiers raised objections to Li Xian's rebellion, and similarly, Li Hong was unwilling to sweep everyone's happiness at this time, and still hoped that they could live a peaceful New Year.

The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, as Yeyue said yesterday, have received questions from Da Shi about the abduction of his princess Yeyue, this matter is not a difficult thing, and directly let them reply according to etiquette, as for the aggressive and domineering attitude of the Great Food Country, Li Hong thought that he didn't need to pay attention to it, and he just replied without being humble or silent.

Ren Yaxiang, Pei Xingjian, and Liu Renliang, who had just returned from Anton, were summoned by Li Hong to Shangshu Province.

Li Hong told the three of them the words that came out of Yeyue's mouth yesterday to see what the three of them thought.

The attitude of the three days is quite consistent, with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is worried that it will not be able to find an opponent to continue to improve the status and treatment of the soldiers in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of War, and now there is such a good opportunity.

The three of them naturally spoke in unison, hoping to fight with Da Shi, and the soldiers would block and the water would cover the ground.

Li Hong looked at the resolute three people incredulously, took a cool breath and said, "This is your attitude? That's a fart, I don't think it's better to surrender! Why didn't you think about using the four towns of Anxi as a place of heavy troops to continue to expand the territory? ”

The three of them had a really secretive look on their faces, and after they were in a hurry, the three of them vaguely expressed a little selfishness.

Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not inherited the throne, with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, if he wants to fight with Da Shi, I am afraid that it will also be a big victory, and the purpose of expanding the territory can be achieved, but ...... This feat, if written in the annals of history, is the credit of His Majesty.

It is better to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to really ascend the throne, and then completely gather the elite soldiers and strong generals of the three major capitals of Anxi, Yunzhong, and Tubo, and have a big battle with Dashi, so as to take down Tocharian and several other small countries like grass.

Faced with such selfish thoughts of the three of them, Li Hong didn't know what to say, so he had to wave his hand and let the three of them leave, and there was no need to rest before the first day.

As the so-called soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, what the military department needs to do at this time is to transport all kinds of materials to Anxi, whether it is possible to start a war with Dashi, all this needs to be done immediately.

The three of them didn't understand why Li Hong listened to the wind and rain, and why he suddenly wanted to fight a war with the Great Food Country because of the abduction of the night moon and the questioning of the Great Food Country.

Because the three of them just now, in Shang Shuling's study, the maps they saw were all maps of Nanzhao, Funan, Zhenla and other places, which were not related to Anxi.

But they didn't know that Li Hong was not very interested in expanding his territory to the west, and compared to expanding his territory to the west, Li Hong valued Funan and Chenla (Vietnam, Thailand) and other small countries near the sea to the south.

Li Hong held a charcoal pen in his hand and looked at the map on his desk, there was no point in expanding westward, there were too few things that could be obtained from a real fight, and the further back he went, the longer the supply line, even if he won, with the military technology of this era, there was no way to completely hold it.

Now this westward land has basically maintained the territory of the largest time in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and if it expands further, it is likely that it will repeat the mistakes of the Tang Dynasty in history, being dragged to death by the terrifying supply lines and the riots of the nomads.

Nomads are different from other peoples, they exist in a tribe as a carrier, and today you have recovered this tribal leader, and in less than three or five years, they will be able to elect a new tribal leader.

It will make you fall into a predicament like a game of whack-a-mole, press the gourd and lift the scoop, and finally as the war accumulates over time, just like the Tang Dynasty in history, it completely loses control of Anxi.

But if you go south, relying on the large rear of the Lingnan Metropolitan Protectorate, whether it is by land or water, you can shorten the fatal supply line and supply the soldiers in time.

More importantly, compared to Anxi, it is theoretically not far from Jiangnan, which is known as the land of wealth and the land of fish and rice, and it has an absolute advantage in terms of investing troops or money. What's more, the warships built by themselves can't really just look at the Wa Kingdom and the four kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, right? It's a bit of a waste of troops.
