"This is the next step, just wait! After all, we are guests, Dongyue is the master, Dongyue temporarily avoided Wang Xuanying, the lord of the country, on the grounds that he was ill, and we could not oppose the guest, so we could only urge Dongyue Honglu Temple to let us meet with Wang Xuanying as soon as possible. ”

Tang Ping nodded, this is no way, but since Dongyue Kingdom has let itself eat closed, then it is definitely not a way to wait like this.

"And what about the middle strategy?"

"The middle strategy is to be hard, didn't Lord Tang say it? Truth is only within range of a bow and arrow! We can immediately send a message to General Li in Fort City, and let him overwhelm the border with his army. ”

Tang Ping thought about this method, but now the two countries have not torn their faces, and what is important in this era is that one division is famous.

Dongyue is just using the excuse of a coastal typhoon to delay the deal with Datang, and if Datang directly sends troops now, it will inevitably be true.

So now the Tang Dynasty has actually only made a move to transfer troops to the east, and this news is obviously not as fast as Tang Ping, so that Tang Ping has come to Fuyang, but Dongyue has not yet received the news.

Otherwise, Dongyue Kingdom may really have to consider not seeing Tang Ping.

This method can only be used as a record, if the East Vietnamese country is too soft to eat, then it can only be hard.

"What's the best strategy?"

"The best strategy is naturally to attack the heart!" Yao Yuanzhi said confidently: "There is a word called the people's will, the people of Dongyue have always been not dealing with the people of the Tang Dynasty, and there have always been anti-Tang remarks in China. ”

"We only need to use the lurking work of Fuyang City and spread rumors, saying that the Tang locust plague is about to start, and the Dongyue Kingdom intends to break the contract, interrupt the grain trade with the Tang Dynasty, and attack the Tang Dynasty while the Tang Dynasty is weak!"

"That's what the East Vietnamese think, but it can't be made public, otherwise they wouldn't be using the typhoon as an excuse to delay the grain deal. When such remarks spread in the market, then it is not us who should be worried, but the royal family of Dongyue Kingdom. ”

"After all, Datang is unwilling to take the lead in tearing its face, so why not Dongyue? So they will definitely refute the rumors immediately, and then for the sake of the heart of the Tang Dynasty, the lord of Dongyue will also have to summon me and others. ”

I have to say that this strategy is really good, and it can change the situation from their eagerness to see the lord of Dongyue to the fact that the lord of Dongyue summoned them to explain the rumors.

"But by doing so, does it expose Datang's meticulous work?" Tang Ping suddenly asked noncommittally.

Yao Yuanzhi didn't expect Tang Ping to ask such a question, he was slightly stunned at first, and then nodded and said: "That's inevitable, this is the capital of Dongyue, and the inspection is the strictest, to cause large-scale rumors, it is not possible to succeed with one or two fine works, but now the matter of changing grain is imminent, so the humble position has the authority to mobilize all the Fuyang fine works." ”

"Then they're probably still in danger, right?"

Yao Yuanzhi was silent for a while before nodding: "Yes, you can't leave immediately after releasing the rumors, the danger is naturally there, but Lord Tang, this is not the time for a woman's kindness." ”

Tang Ping nodded: "Mr. Yao is right, but why don't you let me try it tomorrow, if not, how about we use your method again?" ”

"What is Lord Tang's plan?"

"What ...... me" Tang Ping smiled mysteriously: "My strategy is also simple, just call it temptation!" ”

But when Yao Yuanzhi asked again, Tang Ping only said that he was too tired today, rest early, and talk about it early tomorrow morning.

Tang Ping didn't sleep very well that night, and he still had some recognition of the bed.

Or because in his heart, in this era, he also regarded himself as a Tang Dynastyman, and now he is in a foreign country, so he wakes up many times at night.

He yawned and opened the door, and the familiar Xiaoluo was waiting at the door.

"Childe got up, didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

"Hmmm! Sleep comfortably without your own bed! Took the tooth cup handed over by Xiaoluo: "Thank you!" ”

"Childe doesn't have to say thank you to Xiaoluo every time!"

"How's that going to work?"

After breakfast, when Yao Yuanzhi was about to ask Tang Ping again what his plan was, Lord Liu from Dongyue Honglu Temple came.

Yesterday, after Lord Liu went back, he inquired, and none of the East Vietnamese officials he knew knew knew about Tang Ping.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to Dongyue, for which everyone knew well, originally thought that it would be the old opponent of the Tang Honglu Temple, but I didn't expect that none of those old fritters came this time, but a fresh-faced Tang Ping.

You must know that it was Yao Yuanzhi beside Tang Ping, and he also heard that this was the army under Li Xuanba in Baozi City, and only this Tang Ping had never heard of it.

In Datang Chang'an, there will naturally be news to Fuyang, but most of the news sent back by those official spies is the issuance of some important decrees or personnel transfers from Datang.

Tang Ping was also famous when he was selling monosodium glutamate in Chang'an at that time, and of course it was impossible for these spies to send such news back to Fuyang.

It's like a spy war drama now, which spy would have nothing to do with passing back the news that a certain five-star hotel bought a new seasoning? Isn't that waiting to be eaten and hung up?

Therefore, the current Tang Ping feels quite mysterious on Lord Liu's side, and he drives an iron cart that does not use cattle and horses to swagger through the market, and he does not act and speak at all like the officials of the Tang Honglu Temple in the past.

In order to find out the details of Tang Ping, Liu Dacai came to the small courtyard where Tang Ping settled early in the morning.

"Lord Tang slept well yesterday?"

"It's not good, I have some recognition of the bed!"

"......" Lord Liu was speechless for a while, and he just asked politely, shouldn't you thank you for your hospitality at this time? How can there be such an honest story?

"Lord Liu, have you eaten?"

“…… Eat, eat! ”

Why is the rhythm of this chat so awkward?

"Then is Your Majesty going to summon us today?"

Lord Liu shook his head and said, "Not yet, Your Majesty is still unwell today, and the early dynasty has not been opened." ”

After hearing this, Tang Ping frowned deeply.

When Lord Liu looked at Tang Ping's expression, he thought that he was going to complain or get angry, after all, Tang Ping's age was there, and it was normal for him to be unable to hold his breath.

As a result, Tang Ping opened his mouth and said: "This is a bit troublesome!" ”

Lord Liu asked curiously, "What's the trouble with Lord Tang?" We at Honglu Temple are responsible for the reception, as long as we can do it, we will do our best. ”

"Really?" Tang Ping looked at Lord Liu with a happy face, and even went up and shook his hand excitedly: "This is great, Lord Liu, you see that there are so many of us, people eat horses and chew along the way, I originally thought that I would be able to meet Your Majesty when I came, and I would go back to Datang after talking about the matter." ”

"But now that Your Majesty is sick, we don't know how long we'll have to wait here, but we're about to run out......"

Lord Liu was stunned by Tang Ping's hand, what is the situation?

How many people are you? It could even be said that this was the most ...... he had ever seen The most perfunctory Tang envoys.

A new nen, two old and rough guards, two maids, an old man and a child, the most normal estimate is that Yao Yuanzhi has joined the army in this fort city.

Not to mention, when did the Tang envoys need to go to their Dongyue Honglu Temple to fight the autumn wind?

Datang has always advertised that he is the overlord of Guanzhong, and in many cases, he will even slap his swollen face and become fat in his external image, and he will not be able to fall behind.

Are you really not afraid that your Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple will know about beating you?

Of course, he complained in his heart, and Lord Liu still had to get by on the face, so he said: "Lord Tang is too worried, you are guests from afar, and the expenses in my Dongyue are naturally borne by our Honglu Temple." ”

Originally, he thought that Tang Ping was going to fight the autumn wind, but no matter what he said, Tang Ping just didn't agree.

In his eyes, Tang Ping's rejection of himself was really sincere, that is to say, in Lord Liu's opinion, Tang Ping really didn't intend to ask for their money.

He didn't expect that the first time he and the Tang envoys fell into an impasse in negotiations, it was actually for the living expenses of their envoys.

The word living expenses is still what I heard Tang Ping say just now.

"We are also from Datang, no matter how difficult Datang is, we can't take a stitch from our brother countries!" Tang Ping said to the carelessness of Ling Ran.

"So I want to ask, can Lord Liu take us to the seafood market in Fuyang?"

Dongyue is close to the sea, and Fuyang, as the capital of Dongyue, naturally has a lot of seafood transactions.

Although the preservation of seafood in this era was not as developed as in later generations, there were still a lot of seafood such as salted fish and dried shellfish, and Fuyang Seafood Market was a market specializing in trading this kind of thing, and even the largest seafood trading market in this era.

Almost all the dried seafood from all over the coast of Dongyue will be traded in Fuyang and then sent to various places.

Although he didn't know why Tang Ping wanted to go to Seafood City, since he made this request, and this request was easy to complete, Lord Liu still nodded and agreed.

Then he was invited to the co-pilot of the pickup truck, this time only Pei Min and Yao Yuanzhi followed Tang Ping out, and the others stayed in the small courtyard.

The dazzling interior of the car made Lord Liu not believe that people like Tang Ping would lack living expenses, not to mention anything else, if he was willing to buy this car called a pickup, Dongyue Kingdom would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.

Under the guidance of Lord Liu, Tang Ping soon drove to Seafood City, and yesterday Tang Ping's drive into the city has caused a sensation in the city, so there are many people watching on the way.

Even Lord Liu felt that this was the most eye-catching time for the Tang envoys in Fuyang.

In addition to the ordinary seafood trade, there is also a small auction house in this seafood market.

You must know that in this era, seafood such as coral and pearls are already considered luxury, and such luxury goods are often traded in the form of auctions.

And what Tang Ping is looking for is this auction house.

"Hello officer, I don't know how I can help you?" Although the people in the auction house wondered why the officials of Honglu Temple came here, they opened the door to do business, and they had to greet the guests when they came.

"I want to auction off a gadget, take a look!"

Tang Ping took out a box he had brought and opened it.
