"Don't worry about the mother, the child knows the father's thoughts, this matter, it is more effective to let the child scratch the hair." My words have completely leaked that I understand the meaning of my father's tricks, and my mother listened to my explanation, and poked my finger angrily and annoyedly: "You, it's like colluding with your father, but you hide your mother's secret, if it weren't for the mother just annoyed, your father is afraid that he still won't tell the truth, hum, use his own child as a gun to make it, and he will do it." ”

The old man's approach is a little inconsiderate, which is true, but since the old man tested my mind for the first time, we have to cooperate and play a good game, and let the old man see that his second son is not only a person who can only play tricks and can't do anything.

The next day, after finishing all the official work, I went straight to the palace and met Uncle Li.

Uncle Li pondered for a long time, and Fang Zi sighed slowly: "Does the virtuous son-in-law really think that the old man will listen to those nerds?" It's just that the old man is thinking about how to level Goguryeo, first of all, he has to let the southwest and northern Xinjiang worry-free, otherwise, how can he mobilize heavy troops to poke his country? ”

It turns out that Uncle Li wants to take Goguryeo to open the knife, this time, Tubo is not interested in fighting with the Tang Dynasty for the time being, and the Western Turks are fighting inwardly, and although Xue Yantuo's strength has been greatly reduced, he can still threaten the northern territory of our dynasty at any time.

"Why is the virtuous son-in-law so concerned about this matter?" Uncle Li asked me instead.

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law once said: The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, whether it is Xue Yantuo, Tubo, or Turkic, the son-in-law thinks that it is really inappropriate to exchange women for peace...... "I came to talk to Uncle Li today, first starting from the relationship between countries, and then starting from the weak country without diplomacy, in short, there is only one point, such a strong Tang Dynasty should not have a practice of almost self-psychological comfort.

Uncle Li was gradually persuaded by me, but he was still a little hesitant, according to Uncle Li, the Han Dynasty's peace was a humiliation for China, while in the Tang Dynasty, he regarded it as a reward and glory for the surrounding vassal countries, and the Tang Dynasty political axe often used the rejection of peace to express dissatisfaction and punishment to the subject countries. To use an inappropriate analogy, the harmony of the Tang Dynasty is somewhat similar to the gift of giant pandas to foreign countries today.

----------------------------------------------------------- look at who is pleasing to the eye, see that you are very honest and obedient, well, yes, give you one, so you dare to bare your teeth with us, then you will definitely not send our national treasure to you, anyway, Uncle Li is this mind, a very magical phenomenon, this phenomenon makes me cry and laugh, however, I still insist on my point of view, ancient political peace, A woman's thighs should not be relied upon as a support point, and peace can only be truly achieved if the country remains strong.

"In the past, General Li broke the Eastern Turks with 3,000 people, and General Su hunted hundreds of thousands of Tiele with 10,000 horses, so my Tang Liang generals are all here, if the Tiele people dare to make a move, the son-in-law is willing to personally mention 10,000 fine horses, and dedicate the head of Zhenzhu Khan to his father-in-law's case." It's a loyal confession, of course, this is nonsense, let us really take 10,000 cavalry around the desert tiredly, wouldn't we have nothing to do? It's just that now in order to express his loyalty, he is just making a show.

Sure enough, Uncle Li understood my thoughts very well, and Lang smiled and helped me up. "That's it, if you really let you go to the lonely battle, my in-laws still have a daughter, and I don't resent my father-in-law to death in my heart, hehe, don't mention this again, but the heart of loving your son-in-law to serve the country, not for personal gain, only the attitude of impartiality, really makes the old man very comforted, if you are not allowed to invite, it can't be said, but the virtuous son-in-law." Uncle Li's smiling front teeth were bright, seeing Uncle Li like this, I knew that it would definitely not be a good thing, so I had to laugh and say: "If the father-in-law has an order, the son-in-law will not dare to disobey." ”

"Very good, worthy of being the old man's beloved son-in-law, never shirking the commission, in fact, this national policy has been in place since my father's emperor, although the old man is the king of a country in the Tang Dynasty, but he can't eliminate this kind of national policy of harmony without reason, right? Don't talk about others, just those nerds can make the old man a headache, so we have to find a reason, right? Hey, hey, beloved son-in-law, the old man has something for you to do, after all, the concert is full of people who act in secret, and it is much more convenient to do this than others, the virtuous son-in-law doesn't want that expression, in fact, it is not difficult to say this, and listen to the old man...... "Uncle Li came closer, and he was very obscene and bit my ear on the side...... I looked at the map on my desk helplessly, this is the map handed over to me by Uncle Li himself, with a thick pen on it to describe the route of Xue Yantuo and the pro-mission, and Uncle Li, who was full of bad water, gave us a bad idea. Why don't you want people to pretend to be bandits to rob, or makeup thieves to do things like stealing chickens and dogs...... What a person, really.

On the side, the heads and brains of the concert hall also came to the map and looked carefully. After a while, Li Xiaode said disapprerovingly: "My lord, this is not appropriate, right? Although there are not many people in Xue Yantuo and the pro-mission, they are here to pay tribute to me, as the saying goes, the two countries do not fight to make ......" There is no one on the side who speaks, but the big guy is full of incomprehension, do you still think that I will not be able to commit treason?

Hearing this, I really want to beat him with the whip that points to the map, and talk nonsense, do you think I am willing to do this kind of thing that damages my model of a righteous man and a gentleman in the Tang Dynasty? "Do you think that Fang's false decree will not work? Li Xiaode, if you don't believe it, you have the ability to negotiate with Your Majesty by yourself, otherwise, we will simply arrange for you to be the robber alone. ”

Seeing that my face was uncertain and my tone was resentful, Li Xiaode hurriedly smiled and said: "My lord's words are too much, the lower officials are just complaining a little, and you won't be so angry, right?" ”

"You think I'm willing?" To tell you the truth, we don't want to, but we have to give Uncle Li a reason to refuse to make peace, and this is arranged by the head of the Tang Empire who is full of bad water, what good idea can I have?

After listening to my jail, everyone also understood my distress, and did not act as a difficult thing anymore, with a very deferential expression, Liu Yufei was very eager to try, jumping and jumping, as if to remind everyone that what he did in the past was to rob the house.

I took the map and compared it with the sand table in the room for a long time before I decided on the plan. Qiu Danmo nodded, and poked his finger on the map: "Here, here, these places, if we can arrange a row of people, we don't need to do it during the day, just act secretly at night, and we don't need to count, it will definitely make their gifts less than half, this is already my Datang border, and when they get here, even if they want to go back and prepare gifts, it's too late." Old man Qiu smiled gloomily.

"Well, Cheng, I'll do it according to Elder Qiu's wishes, but I'm afraid that there will not be enough manpower over there, Brother Liu, the two of you go alone, or both of you, and pull a ticket to enter the elite of the Academy, and you will do this, it can be regarded as practice makes perfect." raised his eyes to look at Liu Jiaming and Liu Yufei.

After ----------------------------------------------------------- the two glanced at each other, Liu Jiaming came out and replied: "This matter is sooner rather than later, the subordinates will lead a ranger to do it, and Yufei will stay with the adult for you to reprimand." ”

"Okay, that's the case, Cai Nan, among your inner secret agents, you also choose a few people with advanced martial arts skills to go to the place, and go to find the secret agents who have already been stationed in the border towns of this courtyard to think that they will respond. In this matter, we must do our best with one blow, if we get to Chang'an, the peace envoy of the Xue Yantuo tribe is unharmed, and Hugh blames the official for being ruthless. Wait until you get the order! ”

"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Stealing chickens and touching dogs, well, it should be said that robbing the rich and helping the poor is the strength of these rangers, in this official informal activity, the elites of the Jinjuan Academy who went to the action did their best, only the two of them were hit by Xue Yantuo's feather arrows on the buttocks, fortunately, everyone escaped back to the border with their lives, and even arrived in Chang'an a day earlier than those who were with Xue Yantuo's peace mission.

Soon, Xue Yantuo came to my Tang Dynasty to ask for relatives, but his envoy actually let the tribute lose most of the money on the way, and when he arrived in Chang'an, there was nothing left, Uncle Li was very angry, thinking that Xue Yantuo was deliberately rude to my Tang Dynasty, and announced in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the courtship mission that he had rejected the request for the wedding, and asked his tribe not to offend my border pass again, otherwise, what awaits them will be the iron hooves of my army, and the disaster of destroying the country and the clan.

This move not only won the enthusiastic approval of the military group that was originally opposed to Heqin, but even those nerds had nothing to say, this matter was blown up because of a bunch of snitches, Uncle Li took the opportunity to make a big fuss, and showed his attitude towards Heqin to the courtiers, therefore, the call for peace with Heqin is gradually rare, as for when it will disappear, well, this can only start from the little children of Li Zhi's generation.
