"Pavilion Master, this is the information sent to Guanzhong from all over the country in the past month, because we know that the Pavilion Master is coming to Chang'an, so our hall here in Chang'an has prepared what you want. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Sitting in front of Liu Zhi was a strong man in his thirties, with a dark face and a well-dressed figure, who looked a little like a farmer and a hunter who hunted.

Liu Zhi stretched out his hand to take the information he sent, opened it and looked at it, nodded, put down the information, and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Liu from Chang'an come?" ”

Mr. Liu's name is Liu Shucheng, is in charge of the Guanlong generation, the strength of Langya Pavilion has not been established for a long time, and the personnel are not very many, the main layout points are in Guanlong, Hedong, Shandong, Hebei and Jiangnan and other places, this Liu Shucheng is the principal of the Guanlong generation, Liu Zhi came to Guanlong, he is not a little unreasonable, which inevitably makes people have some other thoughts in their hearts.

He knows the people of Liu Shucheng, this person is mature and steady, the overall situation is good, the strength of the Guanlong area is very strong, he is not at ease when he sends ordinary people to come, it took a lot of thought to choose this person at the beginning.

"Pavilion Master Qiqi, Director Liu went to the north, and he had already set off before your news came, and he hadn't come back at this time, so I didn't know that you had come, please don't blame Master Liu!"

Went to the north? Well, Liu Zhi remembered that when Pei Ju set off to leave, he had drawn a map, which was transmitted to Guan Long, and at that time he said that he would send a credible and capable person to send this map to the army of the Sui army, and he didn't want this Liu Shucheng to go by himself.

Liu Zhi nodded, no longer talking about this matter, he glanced out the window, the head of Li Shimin's mansion had already returned, and he was walking towards the Drunken Immortal Tower at this time.

"In the past few days, you put aside the matter at hand and investigate a few people・・・・・・

By the time the head of Li Shimin's house came to the restaurant, Liu Zhi had already walked out of the private room, came to a window on the second floor and sat down, and the man who had met him before had already left.

The principal had already seen Liu Zhi's figure when he was still on the stairs, and saw that he was still sitting in the previous position, resigning his cup, as if he was thinking about something.

After making sure that the man had not left and that no one had touched him, the principal did not go upstairs, turned and retreated, and sat down in a corner on the first floor.

Liu Zhi sneered in his heart, sure enough, Li Shimin was suspicious of himself, but he was just suspicious, he didn't seem to know his identity, this person was just staring at himself, not completely staring at himself, and this person should not have done such a thing before, and he was not very experienced.

Liu Zhi sat here when he came, ordered a few kinds of wine and food, and after eating and drinking, he asked Xiao Er to stay as he was, and then opened a private room, of course, not by himself, it was opened by the man who met him before, the meeting between the two was actually not done well in secrecy, if someone has been observing on the second floor, he can detect the clues.

This time, Liu Zhi's purpose of going to the Western Regions was very simple, mainly to help Pei Ju and Li Jing and others who had just arrived there to gain a firm foothold, and then by the way, the intelligence network of Langya Pavilion was extended to the Western Regions, since the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions have always been China's territory, and the smooth flow of the ancient Silk Road is closely related to the stability of the Western Regions, and at this time, Muhammad, who rose in Mecca, had just founded a ****** religion that caused thousands of years of struggle in later generations, and the pattern of Central Asia was completely changed.

The rise of religion marked the integration of Central Asian powers, and a powerful empire would soon emerge in the Arabian Peninsula after unification, that is, the Great Food Empire.

The Great Food Empire spans Asia, Africa and Europe, with strong national strength and forge ahead, while the Western Regions are relatively loose, and the strength of the countries in the Western Regions varies in size, and it is difficult to hold each other together, after all, the time for the Sui Dynasty to calm down is too short, even if they have been intentionally attached to the Sui Dynasty before this, but after the Sui Dynasty has civil strife, they have already begun to wait and see again, and once the Great Food Empire in the west rises and develops, then these wall grasses are likely to completely fall to them.

The expansion of the Great Food Empire is fundamentally different from the expansion of the Sui Dynasty, they are the empire of the ********, Muhammad did not die until 632 AD, before that, the expansion of the Great Food Empire is the expansion of territory and religion, this invasion is very terrifying, the development and spread of ****** religion is accompanied by a large number of killings and wars, if they wait until they spread the religion to the countries of the Western Regions, then the situation of Pei Ju and others will be very difficult, There isn't even any turnaround point at all.

At the most difficult time for Pei Ju's Sui army, it was Liu Zhi who put forward such a bold suggestion, allowing them to avoid the complicated situation in the Central Plains, march westward, occupy the Western Regions, and develop and grow based on the Western Regions and other places.

The Western Turks were still in civil strife at this time, and the fighting would not stop in a short period of time, and the strength of Tubo at this time was very weak, at this time there were still four years before the official founding of Tubo, Tubo was originally a large group of loose slave tribes, and the internal disputes within itself were actually very serious, the real founder Songtsen Gampo had not yet been born, and when he came out, it would take a long time, at least Tubo was not a big threat within ten years.

So this period of time is a very good opportunity for Pei Ju, which can give him enough time to develop his strength, the Western Regions are congenitally insufficient, the land is vast, but the arable land is scarce, and the population is even more scarce, and the land here is also relatively short of water, so it is destined that even if he develops, it is unlikely that he will participate in the competition in the Central Plains, but it is also a good thing to be able to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions and become a solid barrier in the northwest of the empire.

Pei Ju didn't really have a very good choice at that time, there were only three choices in front of him, one was to desperately break through to the south, but this was very difficult, not to mention how to cross the Yellow River, just said that Li Tang was surrounded by three sides in the east and west, and he chose to break through to the south and die.

And the second choice is to lose sincerity to Li Tang, which is actually the point that Li Tang is most looking forward to at the beginning, Pei Ju represents the Wenxi Pei family, although he is not the head of the family, but at least an important figure in the Pei family, and Wenxi Pei is a Hedong nobleman, Li Yuan has already received the support of the Guanlong nobles, if he gets the support of the Hedong nobles, then it will be of great help to him to sweep the world in the future.

And there is another very realistic point, that is, the army in Pei Ju's hands, nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, can be called the most powerful combat effectiveness in the whole of China at this time in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, they have just participated in the resistance to the Turkic invasion of a main army, although the Tang army is not much different from this Sui army in terms of equipment, but the combat experience and training level of the two sides are too different after all, Li Tang has already occupied a great advantage, If they can get the effect of this powerful army, then they can almost suppress the strength of other forces, and the war may have ended, and it will not drag on to the current situation at all.

And Pei Ju's third choice is to go north, which is the second most dangerous choice, and when he doesn't want to surrender to Li Tang, this is his last choice.

If Pei Ju didn't have Li Jing by his side, Liu Zhi wouldn't let him do this, because it was too risky, and the odds of winning were not great, but after having Li Jing, the handsome man on the battle array, the whole thing was much simpler, from the initial pretending to be a suspicious soldier, to the unexpected northward to ambush the Tang army's troops to defeat Chai Shao's troops, these require a capable and energetic general to do, Pei Ju has the ability, but he may not have such energy, just like Zhuge Liang who died of illness in Wuzhang Plain, his ability is outstanding, But there was no one around him who could share his worries, and as a result, he was dragged to death, and Pei Ju was older than Zhuge Liang, he is 67 years old this year, and his life is rare for seventy years, he is so old, and a long-distance march is not suitable for him, if he wants to plan and lead the troops to fight, it will really cost him his old life.

In history, Pei Ju lived to be eighty years old, and this trip was over the grassland, over the snowy mountains, walking the Gobi, and crossing the desert, which actually had a great impact on his body, and after arriving in the Western Regions, it would definitely not work without Pei Ju, Li Jing led the troops to fight well, if he was expected to reclaim the tuntian and establish a foundation, it would be a bit of a misuse.

Therefore, Liu Zhi went to the Western Regions this time, in fact, to see Pei Ju and help him share a little burden, at least to reduce some of the pressure on his body.

The flowers bloomed two and one on each branch, and just when Liu Zhi was thinking about it in the Drunken Immortal Building, Li Shimin took a personal guard to an inconspicuous mansion in Dongshi.

The house looked very old and not much life, as if no one lived in it.

The bluestone bricks at the door of the house have grown some weeds, it is the time of the year when the warbler is long, and all things are recovering, the whole Chang'an City is a prosperous and noisy, the expected war did not appear, Guanzhong is still a peaceful scene, and the pattern of people rolling outside the Guan, the smoke is very different, under the custody of these chaos, Chang'an City is more prosperous and lively.

It's just that it's very quiet here, an alley is almost uninhabited, and occasionally a few old cats and wild dogs sneak here, flutter a few times on the bluestone slabs that can be basked in the sun, and lie on the ground to bask in the sun, for them, they have survived a winter, and after spring comes, their days are much better.

Li Shimin looked hurried, wearing a black coat with a cloak, he put on makeup before going out, put two fake mustaches on his lips, and wore a heavy dress, looking like a middle-aged merchant over thirty years old, such people are very common in Chang'an City, and they are the people who are not easy to attract everyone's attention.

Guanzhong has always been heavy agriculture and suppressed business, the folk customs are simple, look down on businessmen, this is very common in ancient times, all dynasties have suppressed commerce, in order not to shake the country, until the Song Dynasty period has undergone a relatively large change, the status of merchants in the Song Dynasty is slightly higher, but it is only a little higher, compared with the scholars, no matter how rich the businessmen are just businessmen, the identity can not enter the elegant hall.

Therefore, businessmen are common in Chang'an City, but they are not welcomed, and everyone is reluctant to approach him after seeing his dress, which also saves him a lot of trouble.

Li Shimin secretly returned to Beijing from Tongguan, and he came back this time with several very important things to deal with, these things are very important to his future, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come back, because once his whereabouts in Chang'an City are exposed, then his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, the man who hates himself to the bone, is likely to kill himself.

"Your Highness, please come in!"

He was greeted by a middle-aged man who looked slightly fat, and after he saluted Li Shimin, he saluted the scribe behind him.

"I've seen Master Liu! Come in!"

If there are people who are very familiar with Chang'an Restaurant here, they will probably recognize this middle-aged man, his surname is Hu Dan, and he is the owner of Mingyue Building in Chang'an City, and Mingyue Building is the largest restaurant in Dongshi.

Mingyue Lou is in Chongren Fang in the East City, and the position of several people is close to the Shengye Fang of Xingqing Palace, there is a square door between the squares of Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and there are things similar to the city wall between each other, and when it comes to curfew, each square must close the door, once the door is closed, if there is no special proof, it is difficult for ordinary people to go out.

From the Mingyue Building of Chongren Fang to the remote alley of Shengye Fang, in fact, the distance is very far, and it takes about half an hour to really walk, but if someone looks down from the air, you can see that there is actually only a wall between these two places, compared to the prosperity of Chongren Fang, Shengye Fang is much lonely, and the location of Mingyue Tower can see the connection between these two places, but when designing Mingyue Tower, someone is very clever to build only five floors, so that Even on the fifth floor of the pavilion, you can't see the things on this side through the wall, and this Mingyue Tower is of course the asset of the Qin Palace, so in fact, Li Shimin's layout has been around for a long time.

"How's the matter going?"

After Li Shimin came in, he couldn't wait to ask, this question was a little abrupt, the scribe next to him was a little dazed, he didn't know what question he was asking, but Hu Kai knew what he was asking.
