"Childe, judging from the carriage and the scene, it can be regarded as well-planned and prepared."

"I can see it, it's not easy for people who can make an octagonal crossbow."

"Could it be those ......?"

"It shouldn't be them, they're not that stupid, I analyzed the people who assassinated me, and they were the ones who made the scapegoats."

"The person behind that is not simple, it can be said that our intelligence officers have infiltrated in the past few years, but the person who can make it impossible for our people to find is not simple."

"yes, the rats behind these are so hateful."

"Old bachelor, this matter continues to be investigated, and how is the investigation of the last interception of the military newspaper?"

"There are still no clues, Childe suspects that the incident and this incident are the same person?"

"I hope I guessed wrong, and the intelligence side will be increased and the investigation will continue."

"Yes."

Li Yong frowned, because the events of that day made him feel uneasy, after all, this is Chang'an, and the power in his hands cannot be used at a large level, because his strength is not yet visible to his father-in-law, because he knows that his father-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, not to mention that he is still an emperor, and no emperor will allow a force that he cannot control in the dark, even if it is his own son, when Li Yong investigated the assassination, Li Er was also listening to the report of Li Junxian, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, which should be said to be an investigation report on Li Yong, just like Li Yong thought, he, the old man, has not completely let go of his suspicions about him until now, because his rise is too fast.

"Sage, this is the case with Li Yong."

"It seems that my son-in-law is not simple, he dared to kill the people of the Li family in Longxi at the age of thirteen, and then fled to the fiefdom of Changle, has been unknown, and then became famous, and established such a huge industry in just a few years, the most important thing is that he was originally a stupid person, but he would have so many things, it can be described as poetry and songs, martial arts and military talents are the best of the younger generation, and the weapons he made are even more shocking, what do you say his purpose is?"

"I don't know."

"Go down, keep an eye on him, and find out all those people."

"Yes."

Li Junxian led the order to withdraw from the Ganlu Palace, but his back was already wet with cold sweat, thinking that the saint is still the saint, no matter how much you contribute to this country, as long as he can't control you, even if you are his son, it is useless, Li Er's investigation and monitoring of Li Yong has not stopped, but many times it has been covered by the power in Li Yong's hands, so that he can not get a lot of information, especially all the secrets of Xishan and Xinhuating County, more than a month has passed since the assassination, and everyone has not found any clues, all of them know, There is a force waiting for an opportunity in the dark, it can be said that the entire Chang'an undercurrent is surging, and Li Yong is absenteeism, does not go to work, and hardly goes out at home every day, but everyone thinks that Li Yong is cowardly, indeed, according to Li Yong's words, "Steady, don't wave." "Only by obscene development can you survive, don't underestimate the ancients, the momentary gains and losses will not let these retreat, he and all the forces have already made a move, it depends on who survives to the end, as for Cheng Zhihe, a few were put back by Li Yong, because he didn't want to involve a few of them, plus they stayed in Qingfeng Building for more than a month, it did change a lot, Cheng Zhihei brothers became polite after the three brothers arrived at Lu Guogong, which made the old devil Cheng bite Jin and their mother-in-law Cui Shi thought that their brother was evil, Cui Shi was born in Qinghe Cui Shi, It is Cheng Bitingjin's stepfamily, not Cheng Zhihei, Cheng Zhuliang's biological mother, Cheng Chubi is his biological son, Cheng Bitingjin's original partner Sun Zhenguan died in the second year, and later Li Er was posthumously named Mrs. Suguo.

"Dad, mother, this time we worked as clerks in Qingfeng Building, and we learned a lot, and we all felt that what we did before was too bastard."

"Yes, Daddy, we just know that these people are so bitter, some people can actually eat a bite of steamed buns and be moved to tears, not how delicious the buns are, but these people haven't eaten a full meal for a few days, it's so cute, just like Brother Tiezhu said, we just cast a good baby and came to the rich and noble, but we don't know how to cherish it, and we make trouble everywhere, it really shouldn't be."

Seeing that his sons can say such things, Lao Cheng and Cui's are old and crying, the three sons of their own family have finally grown up and are sensible, don't think that Cheng Yanjin and his sons are simple-minded people, in fact, in real history, he and his three sons are the smartest people in the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Chu and his brothers don't have to go to Qingfeng Lou anymore, but in the habit of getting up early every day, cleaning the environment, and being polite to the subordinates, this makes the entire Lu Guogong Mansion difficult to adapt to for a while, this is a sister-in-law, usually it will be like this, It's really been a long time, and this kind of situation still happens in Dufu Fangfu and other mansions, so these old fathers and old mothers are so moved, whose parents don't like to see their children sensible? These people all brought gifts to Li Yong's mansion to thank him, Li Yong could only be entertained, but the peaceful days only passed for more than a month, Li Yong was called into the palace again, Li Yong reluctantly left the safe Li Mansion, and rushed to the palace with Li Tiezhu and other guards, and when he walked into the Ganlu Palace, he only saw Li Jing and other generals.

"See the saints."

"You're coming, you go to the side and listen first, you go on."

"Yes."

"After the beginning of the spring in Tubo, Lu Dongzan made a comeback, led an army of 300,000 to storm Tuyuhun, and now Fu Yun they have been beaten and even the tooth tent has fled to the west, most of the Tuyuhun has fallen into the hands of Tubo, I believe that soon, Tuyuhun will be completely annexed by Tubo, we analyze, Fu Yun must lead the remnants to flee to the Western Regions."

Li Yong listened to this military meeting, thinking in his heart that this Fu Yun is too wasteful, he still can't bear Lu Dongzan after buying so many weapons and equipment of his own, which can be described as being swept away, but Tuyuhun is now unified to the Tang Dynasty, or it is not a good thing for him, this is not in the interests of him and the Tang Dynasty, only to pull the two of them into the quagmire of war, consume the strength of both of them, and constantly make benefits on them is the right way, Li Er and all the generals are pointing and drawing on a map, constantly analyzing the form in front of them, Li Er also knew that if this Tuyuhun surrendered to Tubo, it would not be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty who had just recuperated, if he was given five years, he would be able to destroy Tuyuhun, or even Tubo, but no, now the situation in front of him is very clear, that is, Tubo is about to swallow Tuyuhun, Li Er and his generals are discussing, and Li Er also has some plans in his heart, just when he was thinking about the plan in his heart, Li Er's voice interrupted him.

"Li Yong, you have also seen the current situation, I don't know what you think?"

Everyone looked at him, and now they no longer regard Li Yong as just a sixteen-year-old child, the Battle of Songzhou and the various performances after that, some of Li Yong's views have been used as a reference by these veterans, Li Yong said with a fist.

"I don't think Tuguhun can be extinguished, but it can't be extinguished for the time being."

"Oh? You talk about chopping, why can't it be extinguished for the time being? ”

"Tuyuhun as a buffer zone between my Tang Dynasty and Tubo, if it is destroyed by Tubo now, we will lose this natural buffer zone, and we will directly face the more powerful Tubo, now the countries of the Western Regions have been out of the control of my Tang Dynasty, although the Turks in the north have surrendered, but Xue Yantuo is eyeing the grassland, and counterattacking us at any time, and Goguryeo in the east has been peeking at my Central Plains, I have been fighting with the Turks and other countries for many years, and finally quelled the war, and is recuperating, and it is not suitable to continue the war, The state can't bear it, and the people can't bear it. ”

Li Yong's words said what Li Er thought in his heart, and also said what some generals thought, they were not afraid of war, but now is not a good time to go to war.

"You go on."

"We don't go to war, it doesn't mean that we are afraid of war, as long as those barbarians dare to invade my Datang, we will use the knives and guns in our hands to teach them how to behave, what we have to do now is to stabilize Tuyuhun, so that they can not be wiped out by Tubo, buy time for us, Zhancheng rice has been breeding, it is estimated that in about five years, my Datang will recover its vitality, when the time comes, Tuyuhun has been disrupted by Tubo, we will clean them up easily, as long as the passage to the Western Regions is opened, then in the future to create conditions for the control of the Western Regions again, Now we have to find a way to let Tuyuhun live and drag Tubo to death. ”

Li Er and all the generals frowned, they knew that Li Yong was talking about this reason, but how to do Tuyuhun resist Tubo, and drag the powerful Tubo, I feel that this is a fantasy, Li Yong saw these people with such expressions, and thought to himself that you have this IQ.

"How to let Tuyuhun drag Tubo, in fact, it is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say."

Seeing that Li Yong had a way, Li Er hurriedly asked.

"Tell me what you can do."

But Li Yong looked at everyone very embarrassed, it should be said that it was everyone in the hall, Li Er naturally knew what Li Yong thought, he thought about it and waved his hand and said.

"Li Jing and Xu Shiji stayed, everyone else retreated, Li Junxian Huang Yan, no one is allowed to approach the Ganlu Hall for three hundred steps."

Although some generals wanted to know, but the next words were not what they should listen to, so they left the Ganlu Hall one after another, especially when Cheng Biting Jin Qinqiong and the others left, they also glanced at Li Yong with resentment, and Li Yong had to shrug his shoulders to express helplessness, because the next words are indeed not suitable for more people to know, because the next conversation between Li Yong and Li Er and the three of them scared the two old marshals and regretted how they were left behind.

"What? Do you want to fund the Tuyuhun weapon? Absolutely not. ”

But Li Yong's words later made them completely speechless.

"In addition to the funding of weapons, we can appropriately send some troops to mix in the army of Tuyuhun to fight and provide military guidance in the form of mercenaries."

"Li Yong, Li Yong, do you know what you're talking about? Not to mention the weapons funding, you still want to send troops to help Tuyuhun, have you thought about the consequences? ”

"This is the best way to hold Tubo back, sage, two marshals, you see the strength of the Tubo army, Tuyuhun will perish sooner or later, if we don't make a move, I believe that in less than two months, Tuyuhun will be Tubo's, and we will always send a large army to defend at the border pass, such a passive defense is the most consuming national strength, the final defense is to attack, although we can't send a real army, but as long as we properly fund and send a small army to help them, dragging Tubo is not a problem, of course, Weapons are subsidized instead of simply given to them, don't we have a lot of discarded weapons and equipment in our guard station? These things in our army, to recycle and rebuild, not only spend a lot of money, but also a waste of time, it is better to sell these eliminated things to Tuyuhun, although they are all obsolete weapons and equipment, but they are all good things for those barbarians, why can't we exchange these useless things for some of our useful things? This will not only make Tuyuhun superior to Tubo in terms of weapons and equipment, even if they want to use these weapons to provoke us in the future, it will not pose a threat to us, because these are things that we have eliminated, as for sending mercenaries to fight and military guidance, it is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, as long as we continue to rotate in this way, we can let some recruits and veterans continue to learn war experience in the war, and can make our army maintain a sense of war, which is a kind of difficult exercise for our army. ”

Li Er and Li Jing. After Xu Shiji listened to Li Yong's words, he began to ponder, because what he said was indeed a method, and this method was bold enough to fund the weapons and equipment of the enemy country, even if it was eliminated, it was also genuine weapons and equipment, as for the rotation in the form of mercenaries to maintain the combat capability of the army, this operation was even more difficult, because there was no military talisman, and the two of them could not mobilize a soldier and a pawn, not to mention that this matter could not come openly, but only secretly, if they were discovered, they would not be able to eat and walk around, The dismissal of officials and knights is a trivial matter, and it is okay to destroy the nine clans, and the small abacus in Li Er's heart has begun to calculate, because what Li Yong said is like a devil's fruit, tempting and deadly, he is too short of money, if it is according to what Li Yong said, how much money will it bring him, so the most profitable is the arms trade.

"Li Yong, how sure do you think you are in this matter?"

"Sage, if I say ten percent, you lied to you, but Weichen thinks that things will be done first, whether it will succeed or not, then it depends on the result, if we succeed, it will be for making a lot of money and cultivating a large number of excellent troops, and preparing for us to unify the countries in the future, it depends on whether we dare to do it."

"It's done, this matter is only known to the four of you and me, Xu Shiji is responsible for the matter of weapons and equipment, you can do it with confidence, I will secretly let someone help you, as for the mercenary matter, you are responsible for Li Jing, Li Yong, you coordinate all things."

Seeing that the boss has decided, and the two bosses still have something to say, they have to think carefully about what to do, Li Yong is actually not worried that Li Er will object, because he is Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages, he will definitely accept it.

"Yes."

As a result, Datang's largest arms dealer and the largest mercenary group were secretly established.
