Chang Lin took out a rolled-up letter from the bamboo tube, there was still a layer of fire paint on the outside of the envelope, Li Er took it with his own hands this time, and then opened the fire paint and took out a few pieces of letter paper inside.

When he saw the first few words, Li Er's eyebrows couldn't help but pick up directly, and a sense of complaining that he didn't know what to say came out directly.

"Hello Li Shimin."

That's right, that's what Huo Gang wrote at the beginning! Although Huo Gang has all the experience of Huo Quai, but not all the memories, and he also has the experience of Huo Qubing leading the troops to fight, so Huo Gang is very lucky to be able to learn to write well with a brush without a teacher from these experiences.

And like Huo Quai's ability to choose words and form sentences in classical Chinese, Huo Gang doesn't know it at all, this thing ...... It's not something you can learn casually.

In this era, because paper and pen and ink are considered luxuries, especially in the Han Dynasty, when almost all of them were bamboo slips, the cost of a book was so expensive, so in order to save these, the ancients naturally refined their own language, which is how classical Chinese came from.

The gradual development of vernacular writing in later generations was also because the cost of paper was getting lower and lower, so written records gradually began to develop into vernacular writing, and as for Huo Gang, he could not write at all. In this era, when writing an article, if you use a wrong word, it is estimated that the meaning will completely change dramatically, in order to avoid these oolongs, Huo Gang completely let himself go.

Of course, one reason is to avoid these oolongs, and the other reason is that Huo Gang is too lazy to accommodate others, he can come as comfortable as he wants, Huo Gang didn't have that strength in his previous life, and he didn't have that opportunity, and he could do whatever he wanted in this life, so he didn't care about these things.

He simply wrote this letter as he wanted.

can't blame Li Er for wanting to complain, mainly because this style is simply vulgar in the eyes of people in this era. This method of writing articles, in Li Er's opinion, is a typical manifestation of unculture, and it is estimated that it is better than being uneducated.

But this character is still well written, Li Erdu began to guess, this should be Huo Gang asked him to ghostwrite, right? Otherwise, if you can write such a good word, the article will not be so ugly, right?

It's that he directly called Huo Gang his name, but Li Er didn't care, nonsense, people are not your courtiers, what's wrong with calling you by your name? Especially Huo Gang obviously has a grudge against An Xinggui, so he naturally doesn't have a good impression of him Datang, and he didn't scold him directly, Li Er felt very good.

There is still some patience in this way. Of course, fortunately, Huo Gang did not let go of himself to bring the habit of writing in later generations. It still follows the vertical writing method handed down from bamboo slips in this era.

"I believe you should be very surprised to see this letter, I guess you didn't expect me to write to you, in fact, I didn't think that if it weren't for a few people from me, I wouldn't have written this letter to you, but I think you must want to know the identity of these people."

"The person who came was a man named Modra, who was sent by Jieli Khan, as for what he sent him for, I believe you should know better than me, it is nothing more than wanting to unite me and do something, for example, to cut off the connection between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty, who have a good impression of you, and contain your Tang forces."

"I don't think I need to say more, you all know that Datang's troops in Liangzhou are not sufficient, so I am hesitating whether I want to agree to his request, after all, you also know that I have an enmity with your Liangguo Gong."

"But I also consider that the transaction between us is quite smooth, I think you should know the information about the transaction between us, so, I wonder if I can make a deal with you, a face-to-face transaction? Otherwise, I'm really distressed, and I don't know whether to agree to Jieli's alliance or not? ”

"By the way, I'm not sure if anyone will see this letter, if you want to confirm, pick up the letter and point it to a well-lit place, you should see a dark mark, if you can see it, check the location of the fire paint seal envelope, there is also a dark mark there. If there are no problems, remember to write back to me and let me know. ”

The last name is Huo Gang's name and date, and the last one is oh, so that Li Er doesn't know what to say.

A letter is full of nonsense, and the tone is full of all kinds of sarcasm, but the symbols in it are a little interesting, like that? Although Li Er saw it for the first time, he could instantly understand the meaning of this symbol.

However, this can't hide that there are few useful words in this letter, there is a lot of nonsense, and the letter is written vulgarly, but Li Er didn't care about this, but his face became serious, because what Huo Gang said, Li Er had to pay attention to it!

Jieli and Huo Gang? And judging from the content of the letter, Jieli should attach great importance to Huo Gang, which means that Huo Gang's strength is stronger than Li Er imagined, and it is definitely not just the news he received, only a thousand fine horses.

If it was just like this, it would be impossible for Jieli to attach so much importance to Huo Gang, and I heard that Huo Gang also won the two countries of Loulan and Yiwu, which means that his strength has swelled very much! Although it is still a small country compared to the Tang Dynasty, as Huo Gang said, although it is a small country, Huo Gang can cut off their connection with the Western Turks.

And if he really stands with Datang, the strength of the entire Liangzhou will inevitably need to increase! The location of the Hexi Corridor is very narrow, and if Jieli in the north and Huguang in the west attack at the same time, the entire Liangzhou will be at risk of falling in an instant.

If the Hexi Corridor is lost, it means that Guanzhong is under the enemy's iron heels, and the Weishui incident will only happen for less than a year! How could Li Shimin let such a thing happen again? So...... Huo Gang actually became very important all of a sudden.

There is not much friendship between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty, but as for why the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks was cut off, does it need to be said? The hatred between the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks is even greater than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Li Er knows, and Tong Yehu also knows it.

Li Er frowned slightly, sat in his study and pondered, as for the deal that Huo Gang said, Li Er didn't think about it, because it was impossible for him to go to the Western Regions. Although he hasn't been to the Western Regions, but now that he is the emperor, it is impossible to run to the Western Regions directly because of Huo Gang's words, and Huo Gang will come over if he wants to come, but can Huo Gang come to Chang'an?

Even if he repeatedly assured him, it was estimated that Huo Gang would not dare to come.

But in this matter, since Huo Gang wrote a letter to him, he still has to respond.

After pondering for a long time, Li Er raised his head and said directly: "Chang Lin." ”

"Your Majesty." Chang Lin next to him immediately bowed down and said.

"Go, secretly ask Mao Gong to come over, don't let anyone else know." Li Er said.

"Yes!"

An hour later, Li Er in the Liangyi Hall saw Li Ji who came to him, Li Ji at this time was only thirty-three years old, although he could already be called an old man in this era, but Li Ji looked quite strong because he was in good health.

"Minister Li Ji has seen Your Majesty."

"Mao Gong doesn't need to be polite, I asked you to come this time, there is something I need you to do." Li Er looked at Li Ji and said seriously, it is not suitable for this matter to be handed over to others, but Li Ji is a relatively suitable candidate for the time being.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Li Ji did not refuse, but said very simply, because he knew very well that since Li Er said so, it was obvious that he had already thought about it, so he couldn't refuse.

"You take a look at this first." Li Er directly handed the letter in his hand to Li Ji, which was the letter written by Huo Gang to Li Shimin.

Li Ji didn't hesitate, since Li Er showed it to him, it must be able to read it, so he naturally read it directly, but when Li Ji opened the letter and looked at the contents, Li Ji was shocked.

This...... Who could write such a ...... So...... Li Ji didn't know how to describe it.

However, he still endured the strong discomfort and read the letter, after reading it, Li Ji was somewhat speechless, I have to say that although this letter is full of nonsense, but there is an advantage to more nonsense, that is, the meaning is expressed clearly enough, and it can also be accompanied by the emotional expression of the letter writer.

"Your Majesty, dare to ask if this person is Huo Gang, who defeated Ashye before and established a country called Dahan in the Western Regions?" Li Ji raised his head and asked.

"Exactly, and the batch of war horses we got before came from him." Li Er doesn't hide it, and he can't hide these things.

"Judging from this letter, if nothing else, this person named Huo Gang is very bold." Li Ji thought about it and said, after all, there are not no people in the world who dare to call Li Er's name, but there are really not many people who dare to write like this.

Even if there are some names, there will be an honorific title at the end, but this Huo Gang, good guy, has nothing, and directly wrote two words, hello.

That's straightforward enough.

"Yes, he is not small, and he still wants to meet me for business, apart from the war horse, what else can I look at?" Li Er snorted coldly, and then said disdainfully.

"But this time I called you to come because I want you to go to Guazhou once, and it's best to go directly to Dunhuang County." Li Er quickly put away his emotions and said with a serious face.

"Your Majesty wants me to find out the details of this Huo Gang?" Li Ji thought for a while and asked.

"Yes, this Huo Gang was able to lead more than a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled ordinary people to survive in the Western Regions with less than a hundred old soldiers, not to mention, such a big situation was tossed out in just a few months, and two countries were destroyed, no matter how frivolous his letter was, but he must be a capable person, and this letter may not be that he is acting for me."

"And since he dares to say that he does business with me, then he must rely on something, you go and see what else I have to trade with him besides war horses! Especially when it was worth meeting and trading with him! Li Er said in a deep voice.
