It is better to give than to receive.

Li Er likes to give, to his subjects, to the meritorious ministers, which makes him feel like standing high above the clouds, looking down on all living beings, and controlling their fate, yes, it is a god-like feeling, if the Tang Dynasty is at a disadvantage and is forced to be a princess and a relative, for Li Er, this is an unacceptable humiliation, he would rather kill the enemy on the battlefield than compromise, but now that the Tang Dynasty has the upper hand, others regard themselves as courtiers, and beg for peace, which is also an achievement for Li Er.

If you only use a princess, you can exchange for the tranquility of the border, the peaceful coexistence of the two countries, it is definitely a very cost-effective deal, if you make peace with the queen, turn Tubo into a sharp knife in your hand, and use it to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it will be even more wonderful.

Hou Junji was taken aback: "Your Majesty, do you mean to agree with Songtsen Gampo's proposal?" ”

"No, but don't refuse completely, give him a little thought" Li Er said slyly: "Let's just say that now that the war in Tibet is endless, and the safety of the princess is not guaranteed, let him deal with domestic affairs first, and then discuss, I don't want to send troops to quell the rebellion for him." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to report."

"Speak"

"Yes, Your Majesty" Hou Junji saluted Li Er, and reported to Li Eryu with a serious face: "According to the sentimental service, someone in the Tang Dynasty smuggled weapons and arrows to Tubo, and the number is quite huge, I don't know what to do?" ”

Smuggling weapons to Tibet? In the past, Li Er would have turned into a big black face a long time ago, but this time he was not in a hurry to get angry, but asked with a heavy face: "Who is it sold to?" What about the quality? ”

Li Er didn't ask which one was so bold, and Hou Junji didn't specify who did it, the two knew that except for a few big families in Datang who had such guts, no one else dared to touch it at all. There is no need to judge, it must be the small family acting as the first bird, and the big family is in command behind the scenes.

"Most of them are defective or obsolete products, the quality is average, and the buyers are also the rebel force of Tibet." Hou Junji replied cautiously.

"It's finally a little measured," Li Er said lightly.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Li Er wishes that Tubo would have more dead people, so that the defense line in the west will be more stable, and the trade routes between the Tang Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions will be smoother. In this way, he can take a hand to deal with Goryeo Xun and Silla, which have been a little unsafe recently, so that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is more extensive in his own hands.

Sell weapons to the rebel forces of Tibet, help them to increase their power, so as to better consume the national strength of Tibet. For Datang, it is definitely a good and harmless thing. Besides, the products sold are also defective and obsolete. It is also a very good thing to turn waste into treasure and use garbage to exchange for good horses, cattle and sheep, money and goods for Datang. It's really figuring out their own thoughts, in this way, they are knowledgeable, and they will also turn one eye and close one eye to let them make a fortune.

It's all human spirits.

Hou Junji hesitated. and Li Eryu reported: "Your Majesty, there is another matter, the Yangwei Army is divided into two, Liu Yuan and General Cheng Lao each lead one, I don't know about it"

"I have learned about this, and I have promised them to be notaries, and I will have a face-to-face battle at that time." Li Er said with a smile.

"This, Liu Yuan is too young, will it not be suitable? In addition, some people secretly complained about him, saying that he was tyrannical and unscrupulous, and fired three people on the first day of his tenure, and also threatened to reduce the number of people to less than half in the future. ”

Li Er said with interest: "Oh, there is such a thing? I only know that he wants to compare, these 3,000 people, all of them are seedlings selected by major troops, I didn't expect him to look down on him, it's a bit interesting. ”

"Why don't you beat him?"

Li Er shook his head and said: "No, there are only a few thousand people, even if they are wasted, I can afford it, I want to see what he wants to do, and what kind of surprise he will give me, Hou Aiqing." ”

Hou Junji immediately saluted and said, "Wechen is here"

"Let Liu Yuan go, he will toss whatever he wants, don't put pressure on him, maybe he will surprise you again" Li Er thought back to Cheng Biting Jin's training, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Even if it is handed over to the old boy of Cheng Demon King, it is estimated that he will only be able to practice a few more pieces of Jianzi meat." ”

Hou Junji also trusted Liu Yuan very much, and when he heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Weichen obeys the order." ”

For Liu Yuan's ability, Hou Junji also has a deep understanding, and also wants to give Liu Yuan the greatest space and stage to play, for Li Er's comments on Cheng Biting Jin, Hou Junji also thinks deeply, Cheng Biting Jin's culture is not high, which makes his play and overall view also have limitations, it is good to be a pioneer, but leading an army alone is indeed more than inferior to Hou Junji, Li Jing and others.

"Your Majesty, General Liu Yuan asks to see you." Suddenly, the high-pitched voice of the eunuch came from outside the door.

Li Er and Hou Jun glanced at each other, and they both laughed, as soon as they talked about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, just talking about this kid, like an unpredictable prophet, he immediately approached, interesting.

"Biography," Li Erlang said.

"Obey"

Soon, Liu Yuan was taken to the Imperial Academy by the eunuch, and when he went in, he was happy, Li Er and Hou Junji were really there.

"Weichen see the emperor."

"Okay, let's get flat"

After finishing the salute, Liu Yuan gave a military salute to Hou Junji: "My subordinates have seen General Hou." ”

Although Hou Junji is the secretary of the military department, he still likes others to call him a general.

Hou Junji also smiled and said: "Okay, don't be polite, you came just in time, Hou and the emperor just happened to talk about you." ”

Liu Yuanleng paused for a moment and asked curiously, "What are you talking about me?" ”

Li Er glanced at Liu Yuan and said lightly: "Why do you have time to come here today, what is the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is here this time to report to you that the team is learning the miniature carving technique."

"Oh, are you training now?" Li Er then remembered that he was in a whim, and sent someone to learn from Liu Yuan, originally thinking that it was used for intelligence transmission, especially the intelligence transmission in the Tubo area, but he didn't expect the sudden change in the wind and clouds, Tubo was in Songzhou on the Shangyuan Festival, and the pace was disrupted, if he didn't remind him, he almost forgot it.

Liu Yuan said a little embarrassedly: "No, only the three of them are still useful, and the rest, no matter how hard you work, you don't have this talent." ”

"Only three?" Hou Junji was taken aback, and then shook his head and said, "It's better than nothing." ”

Li Er stared at Liu Yuan and said: "Twelve people, only three of them can learn, but you said in advance that they have passed the best learning age, and they are not sure whether they are successful or not, and I don't blame you for this matter, but you promised me that even if they don't learn anything, you will find a way to let them have a skill, which can be used to transmit information, you haven't forgotten this, right?" ”

"Nope!" Liu Yuan said simply that he had indeed said this matter.

"Okay, have you transferred them all?"

Liu Yuan still shook his head very dryly: "No." ”

Seeing that Li Er was a little stunned, Liu Yuan hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, for the sake of secrecy, I want to hand over this method to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will arrange it properly, so that these methods can be better kept secret." ”

"You say, what way?"

Liu Yuan said with a firm face: "Secret letter." ”

"MeMessage?" Hou Junji was a little disappointed and said, "The secret letter is useful, but it's not as exaggerated as you say, right?" ”

Since Qin Shi Huang unified the language and writing, there has been a secret letter appeared, and I thought that Liu Yuan had any method, but I didn't expect to use the secret letter method, not bad, but a little troublesome, the usual practice is that some special names of people and places, will be replaced by different words, or stored on the dark grid, the effect is just general, and it is easy for people to crack, so there is such a method, but the application is not wide, mainly used to identify the authenticity of the letter.

This is also the time that Li Er and Hou Junji saw that Liu Yuan had a miraculous miniature carving technique, and they couldn't wait to send the fine team over for training.

Seeing that the two of them looked a little disappointed, Liu Yuan also knew what they were thinking, and immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, General Hou, this method of mine is not only easy to operate and flexible to master, even if the enemy finds out, they can't crack what is written on it." ”

"Oh, so amazing? Then tell me how to do it. Li Eryi immediately came to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly said.

Hou Junji also looked at Liu Yuan curiously, seeing if he had any way to use it for the transmission of information.

"Yes, Your Majesty" Liu Yuan responded, and immediately began to explain: "There are so many methods for transmission, and I summarize them into two methods: the confusion method and the special marking method. ”

"The first method is the simplest, is to find a book as a blueprint, and then according to the order of the word, look for different words, for example, with the "Book of the Later Han" as the blueprint, for example, write the word [war], then open the book of the Later Han, turn from the first page, and find the first [war] and the first [fight] respectively, but we don't know how to write these two words, but copy the words behind, for example, five words apart, the fifth word after the word war is [er], and the last five words of the word are [book], after the law of confusion, [war] After the information is delivered, we can find the words [er] and [book] according to this Later Han book, and count five words forward in turn, and we can translate it. ”

"Of course, it doesn't have to be a later Hanshu, any book can also be counted, count the number of words backward and forward, or not from the first page, but from the middle, you can also, flexible and changeable, in this way, the information becomes a bullshit text, no one can guess what it means, in addition to the love cloth, it can also be used for frequent secret orders."

Li Er and Hou Junji are both shrewd people, and their eyes lit up when they heard the words, which is also a wonderful good method.

"Didn't you say there is a law of insanity and a law of special marking?" Li Er asked with interest: "Now that you said the Confusion Method, what about the Special Marking Method?" (To be continued......)
