On this day, the sky was high, and Kang Sheli looked at the five hundred war horses and made a difficulty.

No, he must not pull these five hundred horses back to Mobei, and he must sell them.

With a mind in his mind, Kang Sheali walked out of the station.

Li Yuanzheng and the generals of the civil and military affairs will discuss the meeting hall.

Pei Lin mentioned the Turkic war horse: "Tang Gong, since Kang Sheli has brought all the horses here, let's buy the remaining five hundred horses."

"These are all war horses, and with them, the battle is bound to be like divine help."

Liu Wenjing continued Pei Lian's words and said: "Yes, Duke Tang, if the military budget is not enough, we will make up the big guys and buy these five hundred horses first." ”

"No need." Li Yuan explained: "The Turks are insatiable, and there are many horses, after we buy this batch, they will bring another batch of horses over, will we finish buying them by then?"

"The reason why I only buy half of the horses is to tell the Turks that our needs are not urgent, and the other is to show that we are short of money, so that they will not come to sell horses one after another."

Everyone showed expressions of sudden realization, "So that's the case, or Tang Gong is thoughtful." ”

Pei Lin was unwilling: "Then there are five hundred horses left, we don't want them?" ”

"Yes, of course." Li Yuan put down the teacup, "It's just a different way, instead of buying it with cash, you owe it to the Turks." ”

"On credit?" The eldest grandson Shunde hesitated a little: "Will the Turks accept it?" ”

500 horses in exchange for an IOU, presumably Shibi Khan will not accept it, right?

"We'll see." Li Yuan pretended to be mysterious and said.

At this time, a guard outside said: "General, the Turkic envoy asks to see." ”

"Ask him to come in."

Kang Xuanli walked into the hall and simply saluted Li Yuan: "General Li." ”

Li Yuan smiled, his tone was kind, and he didn't care about his perfunctory etiquette at all: "Why did the envoy come?" ”

Kang Shealy said straight to the point: "It's still for the sake of the five hundred war horses, you see, it's already very hard for me to come all the way to pull the horses over."

"Now it's too troublesome to pull it back, General Li might as well buy the remaining five hundred horses."

Li Yuan didn't want to dwell with him for too long in this matter, so he said to him: "I also want to buy it, but the military budget is really tight, if I buy these five hundred horses, I'm afraid my army won't be able to go far." ”

When Kang Shealy heard this, his face was not very good-looking, did he really have to pull it back again?

"Still." Li Yuan's words changed: "If the envoy can allow me to pay on credit, I will keep these five hundred horses." ”

"On credit?" Konsari was a little surprised.

"Yes." Li Yuan made a helpless expression: "At present, there is only this way, otherwise, you can only ask the envoy to pull the rest of the horses back." ”

Kangsari was in a state of hesitation, but he had already struggled with it for the past few days, and was determined not to pull the horse back, otherwise he would lose his face.

In this way, it seems that he can only agree.

"Okay, then please ask General Li to write an IOU."

In this way, Li Yuan bought five hundred horses, owed five hundred horses on credit, and kept all the war horses brought by Kang Sheli.

Waiting for everyone to leave, Wang Yu couldn't help but run to Li Yuan, looking at him stupidly with his hands on his cheeks.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Yuan was uncomfortable with her, and got up and left her sight.

Wang Yu followed Li Yuan with his eyes and praised him sincerely: "Aye, you taught me another lesson today, it's just amazing." ”

Li Yuan paused, turned to look at her: "What do you say?" ”

"Although Aya wrote an IOU, that IOU must not be able to be counted after a while."

Seeing the corners of Li Yuan's mouth rising, Wang Yu knew that she was right, and she was really cunning.

"It's still Xiao Yu'er who understands me best." Li Yuan stepped forward to take Wang Yu's little hand and walked outside.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Li Jing's formation."

------

Kang stayed in Jinyang for another two days, and then bid farewell to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan immediately sent Liu Wenjing and Kang Sheli to accompany him as an envoy to the Turks.

Before leaving, Li Yuan told Liu Wenjing: "The Turks have always been the scourge of the Central Plains, so the Turkic army cannot be allowed to enter the Central Plains.

"The reason why I sent you to borrow troops from Shibi Khan is to find out the attitude of the Turks, and also to contain Liu Wuzhou.

"So you have to remember that sending troops jointly with the Turks is just a bluff, and there must not be too many soldiers and horses, a few hundred people are enough."

Liu Wenjing comprehended that Tang Gong wanted to stabilize the Turks.

So, after Liu Wenjing arrived in Turkic, he said to Shibi Khan: "If there is chaos today, the Duke of Tang is worried that the royal family will be destroyed, so he will raise an army.

"If the Khan sends troops to enter Xijing with the Duke of Tang, the people and land will belong to the Duke of Tang, and the gold, silver and property will belong to the Khan."

After hearing this, Shibi Khan was ecstatic, this deal is really cost-effective, just a few hundred soldiers and horses can be exchanged for a lot of wealth, why not?

"Okay, I'll promise your terms."

Shibi Khan then wrote a letter and sent an envoy to Li Yuan.

-------

The recruitment of troops was still going on, and Li Jing and others were busy training the army every day, and slept directly in the barracks.

At the end of June, the Tang Guogong Mansion received a letter from Weinan County, Huazhou, which was Xu Shixian's family letter, and Li Yuan immediately sent someone to the military camp to call Xu Shixian.

"This is your letter." Wang Yu smiled and handed the letter to Xu Shiyun.

Xu Shiyun took it happily, and opened the letter on the spot.

"I'm a father, I have a son, haha..." Xu Shiyun stared at the letter and suddenly laughed wildly.

Wang Yu sighed in his heart, and subconsciously calculated the time from Xingyang to Jinyang.

No, I have to conceive a child for ten months, it's been more than ten months, and Xu Shiyun hasn't gone back, where is the child?

Li Yuan had already said "congratulations" to Xu Shiyun.

Xu Shiyun hurriedly thanked him.

Wang Yu thought for a while, and cautiously tested Xu Shiyun: "Brother Xu, when did you write this family letter?" ”

Xu Shiyun was stunned for a moment, then looked at the end of the letter and said, "Five months ago, what happened?" ”

"Oh, nothing, just ask." Wang Yu waved his hand and muttered again: "It's strange, how can the letter written five months ago not be delivered now." ”

Li Yuan explained her confusion: "Now that there are wars everywhere and the roads are blocked, it is normal for letters to be delivered in five months. ”

Wang Yu said "oh", and congratulated Xu Shiyun: "Congratulations to Brother Xu for winning Lin'er." ”

Everyone else in the room also said hello to Xu Shiyun, and Xu Shiyun smiled from ear to ear.

Li Yuan instructed the housekeeper: "Go to the treasury and pick up some supplements and children's utensils for Deputy Commander Xu." ”

He also said to Xu Shixian: "After you finish writing your family letter, I will send someone to send your family letter and these things to Huazhou." ”

Xu Shiyun was thinking about buying some things to send home, when he heard Li Yuan say this, he just solved the problem of manpower, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Tang Gong." ”

"Brother Xu, don't send your letter today, wait for me for a day." Wang Yu put down this sentence, turned around and left.

Xu Shiyun heard it inexplicably, what is she going to do?
