Zhang Yang held his hands and looked at the man in front of him, who was only about thirty years old, "It must be the Yinan Khan in front of him." ”

Yi Nan put his hand on his chest and saluted, then handed over a holy decree.

The holy decree was given to him by Li Shimin, and Zhang Yang took it and even confirmed it, "Yinan Khan can tell us anything about it, and our Ministry of Rites will arrange everything." ”

Yi Nan Khan looked flustered, and he said in Guanzhong dialect, "Our cattle, sheep and horses have all been stolen by people, and they have all been stolen overnight. ”

Zhang Yang glanced at Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong yawned, drowsy, and his eyelids were fighting.

Zhang Yang smiled, "Please also ask Yinan Khan to take a closer look at the situation with us." ”

Hearing these words made Xu Jingzong want to laugh, he could only endure not laughing, Zhang Shilang has good acting skills!

"My herd of cattle, sheep and horses!" Yi Nan Khan stomped his feet anxiously, "Xue Yantuo can't take out these cattle and sheep anymore." ”

He was so anxious that he wanted to cry.

Zhang Yang's expression was calm, "So many cattle, sheep and horses must not be able to run far, we will send someone to find it, and please don't worry." ”

"Great." Yi Nan Khan has put down a lot of it now.

"Does the Khan feel that his mood is up and down, and he is still very worried?"

"Yes, yes." The Khan nodded vigorously.

"How about we go to the inn first?"

"When can I meet the Heavenly Khan?"

Zhang Yang looked up at the sky, "Tian Khan is very busy now, I don't have a chance to see him today, let's change the day." ”

"When is the next day?"

"It could be tomorrow." Zhang Yang whispered to him: "Anyway, you have already arrived in Chang'an City, everything can be discussed in the long run, Xue Yantuo helped the Tang Dynasty to pacify the Turkic civil strife, Your Majesty is thinking about how to reward the Khan, and I can't wait to meet the Khan." ”

"Your Majesty really can't wait?" The Khan finally smiled.

Zhang Yang looked into the distance, "What about the other hands of the Yi Nan Khan?" ”

Yi Nan Khan replied: "They are all looking for cattle and sheep." ”

"Really?" Zhang Yang looked at Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong nodded knowingly, and the Xue Yantuo people left by Yinan Khan in Luoshui River would evaporate from the world.

"Those bandits disguised themselves as officers and soldiers and deceived us!"

"Your Majesty will send someone to find it after knowing about it, and you will understand it, it's all because of the bad security in our Guanzhong, since you have arrived in Chang'an, don't worry too much about Yinan Khan, please go into the city."

After saying a word, Xu Jingzong's heart appreciated Zhang Yang a little more.

led people into Chang'an City, as long as Yinan Khan entered Chang'an City, it would be difficult for him to leave.

I led people all the way into the post house.

After negotiating the price with the guys here, the Yinan Khan said with some embarrassment, "Our gold and silver have been stolen, along with horses, cattle and sheep. ”

Zhang Yang glanced at Xu Jingzong, Xu Jingzong quietly took out a piece of silver cake and handed it to the guy here, "Clean up a house for Yinan Khan." ”

The man took the silver cake and went to run errands.

Yi Nan Khan saluted again and again.

Zhang Yang said to him, "We will arrange for people to find the cattle, sheep and horses, we will definitely not go far, and we will inform the khan of the news if there is news." ”

"Today, please ask Yinan Khan to stay in the post house, don't leave here, don't move around at will, stay in the room to rest, Tian Khan may come to summon him at any time, otherwise we won't find anyone, we will be very troublesome."

At this moment, Yi Nan Khan was so moved by the two Tang Dynasty squires in front of him that he didn't know what to say, they could still help the cattle, sheep and horses.

"Rest." Xu Jingzong followed and left.

After leaving the post house, Xu Jingzong was puzzled: "Zhang Shilang won't really want to look for it." ”

Zhang Yang walked with his hands in his hands, "Of course not, whether you can find it or not is two different things, it was originally Brother Xu who took someone to steal it." ”

"That's also Zhang Shilang's idea."

"Will you find what you take yourself? Of course it can't be, you've been busy all day and night, so rest early. ”

Xu Jingzong is indeed so sleepy that he can't open his eyes, and he hasn't closed his eyes since last night.

Walking on Zhuque Street, Zhang Yang bumped into Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo and Li Tai walked together.

Li Tai said: "Chu Mo said that another cow in their field broke its foot, so let's eat beef together." ”

"Beef to eat?"

"It just so happened that I broke my leg today."

The three of them walked out of Chang'an City together and got into a carriage.

When they came to the village around Bashang, the tribes of the Cheng family were killing a cow, which was hanging on a tree at the moment.

Cheng Chumo personally divided the beef.

Zhang Yang picked a few pieces of beef tendon meat, and Li Tai asked for some beef tenderloin.

The beef can be taken home and eaten by the daughter-in-law.

Divide some meat among the villagers and the tribesmen.

After a cow was distributed to the whole village, there was not much left.

Looking at the rest of the beef, Li Tai took out some pepper, salt, garlic and green onions, and the little fat man even brought soy sauce.

Isn't this soy sauce from the store?

How much did he get out of the store?

"You still have to cook the rest of the beef, I think as long as it's not a delicacy that you make, it's a terrible thing to let someone else do it."

Zhang Yang took the knife from Cheng Chumo's hand, first blanched the beef ribs, stir-fried them with pepper, poured in wine and soy sauce, and boiled over high heat to collect the juice.

Then remove some of the offal and stir-fry a pot of offal.

The rest of the bones and beef stew, Zhang Yang stirred the soup, "You can take these broths back to eat, and it is usually good to use this soup with naan cakes." ”

A pot of beef ribs, a portion of stir-fried offal, and a bowl of beef broth.

Cheng Chumo took a bite of bread and a mouthful of meat, eating it fragrantly.

Zhang Yang looked at the other side of the village, and had to say that the Cheng family's land was indeed very large, and at a glance, the fields reached the edge of Bashui.

Compared with here, the fiefdom of Lishan looks much smaller.

Carrying these pieces of beef tendon meat, Zhang Yang returned home, and his daughter-in-law was playing badminton with her two aunts.

Zhang Yang shook the bag of beef in his hand, "We have beef to eat at night." ”

"Huh? Where did the beef come from. ”

"The cow in the village of the Chu Mo family broke its leg and divided some beef."

Li Yue looked at the beef and said, "I heard that the Cheng family's cattle often break their legs, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Braised beef with soybeans is also a very good delicacy, the beef tendon meat is basically lean meat, and the meat quality is also very delicate, and it is easy to become very chai if it is not done well.

Clean the soybeans and soak them, and let the aunt blanch the beef.

Couples are back on the field

This court is not much different from the badminton court of later generations.

Li Yue served first.

In a few encounters, Li Yue mastered badminton very quickly, and even knew the skills of high ball lowering.

As soon as the ball landed, Li Yue picked up the ball in disappointment, "After all, I still lost to my husband." ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "You still have a lot of room for improvement. ”

Kicking off again, badminton can be played from noon to evening, Li Yue wiped his sweat.

"Do you feel refreshed after running like this?"

"Well, that's really true when my husband said that." After Li Yue finished speaking, he drank water and nodded.

looked at the husband again, it was too late to pour water into his mouth after playing badminton, and the husband could still make tea so patiently.

Li Yue thought of another possibility, the husband was not tired at all, and he still had spare strength.

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea, "Running more is good for the body, and you don't have to make yourself very tired, although the symptoms of anemia have been reduced, you don't usually run too much, if you feel tired, you must rest properly." ”

Li Yue held the knees that were relaxing and nodded.

With beef to eat in the evening, Li Yue's appetite naturally improved a lot, and she ate two bowls of millet rice in a row.

It's rare to eat a meal of beef, and Li Yue is reluctant to eat too much.

Late at night, Xu Jingzong and a team of people were driving these cattle, sheep and horses, and it was very difficult to catch up with so many livestock.

In order not to be unexpected, he separated the people and divided the livestock into several groups, so that Li Xiaogong's troops were able to do things quickly.

Xu Jingzong rode a cow to Lishan, followed by a large number of livestock, raised his head and sighed, "It's so difficult to be a waiter of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

waited until it was almost dawn, and then rushed to the foot of Lishan Mountain.

A mountain col here is a good place to hide these herds of cattle, sheep and horses, and Xu Jingzong has already made appointments with some Turks.

They picked a dozen war horses, a few cows, and dozens of sheep, and left after paying the money, which these people arranged deliberately.

When the court was investigating, he thought that the cattle and sheep had fallen into the hands of the Turks.

Xu Jingzong patiently distributed the silver cakes to Li Xiaogong's subordinates, "You have been guarding here today, and the king of Hejian County will take these cattle, sheep and horses out at dawn." ”

The trilogy is told to do things.

Xu Jingzong tidied up his official uniform, and he had to go to Chang'an City in a hurry, and when he came to the city, the city gate had just opened, and the Chengtian Gate had just opened at this time.

Xu Jingzong ran all the way, rushing towards Chengtianmen, his hair fluttering behind him.

For the first time, he was tired of how Suzaku Street was so long.

Finally saw the Suzaku Gate, and saw the King of Hejian and Zhang Shilang standing in front of the door, Xu Jingzong seemed to see his relatives, and he rushed forward.

Zhang Yang looked at Xu Jingzong a little out of breath, "Brother Xu, your physical strength is not very good." ”

Xu Jingzong wanted to speak, and then held on to the wall for a while, "Zhang Shilang was young and strong, and the lower officials were already more than thirty years old. ”

Li Xiaogong whispered, "Is the matter okay?" ”

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but nod.

"Did you leave any traces?"

"The road has also been cleaned, and according to Zhang Shilang's instructions, some cattle, sheep and war horses have been sold to the Turks, so that their judgment can also be confused."

The three of them discussed in a whisper, and then walked towards Chengtianmen.

Hurry up and hurry to the Taiji Hall, and the three of them stood casually.

The early dynasty was just beginning, and Li Shimin walked into the Taiji Hall and saluted.

After the ministries reported their respective affairs, it was finally the turn of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Xiaogong stood up for the court, "Your Majesty, the Yinan Khan has arrived in Chang'an City and rested in the post house for a day. ”

"It's just that Yinan Khan encountered something on the way here, and the cattle, sheep and war horses he brought from Xue Yantuo were all stolen overnight."

When the words fell, the ministers in the palace were all discussing.

Li Shimin said in a loud voice, "Which way did the bandits do it?" ”

Li Xiaogong replied: "I'm already investigating." ”

At this moment, Xu Jingzong has a feeling of walking on the edge of a cliff, and what he has experienced in the past two days is too exciting.

"Let Dali Temple go to check together, I want to see which bandit is so bold."

Li Xiaogong walked back to the court.

After the next dynasty, Li Xiaogong did not go to the government office, and walked straight out of Chengtianmen.

Now it's his turn to clean up the aftermath, he wants to digest all those cattle, sheep and horses, whether they are sold or sent to the Wei Mansion, he originally wanted to give them to the Turks, but he was afraid that the traces would be too heavy, and it would be difficult to explain them at that time.

Still don't want to be cheap Turkic.

Zhang Yang and Xu Jingzong came to the government of the Ministry of Rites and asked the officials of the province to invite the Yinan Khan.

Xu Jingzong drank tea, "Zhang Shilang's roasted tea felt bitter at first taste, and after getting used to it, I found that it was infinitely useful." ”

Zhang Yang handed him a bag of tea, "Ten cents a bag." ”

Xu Jingzong was entangled, "I thought that Zhang Shilang was given to the lower officials." ”

He took out ten cents and put it on the table.

Zhang Yang took the copper coin and counted it carefully.

also checked the authenticity, Xu Jingzong couldn't cry or laugh, "Will the lower officials still use fakes?" ”

"I don't believe in your character."

"In the past two days, such a rebellious thing has been done, why can't Zhang Shilang believe it."

"I just don't believe in your character, and it has nothing to do with what happened last night."

"Can the king of Hejian sell all these cattle and sheep? Xia Guan had seen it before he came, and it was crowded with the entire mountain pass. ”

"I have discussed with the king of Hejian County, if there is any excess that does not change hands, it will be placed in the Lishan fiefdom."

Xu Jingzong nodded, his heart felt a lot more comfortable, it was the first time in his life that he had seen so many cattle, sheep and horses, and the black pressure was unforgettable in his life.

It's a ridiculous thing to check yourself, and of course you can't find anything.

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Thanks to Zhang Shilang's strategy. ”

"It's just a misinformation."

"What is information gap? I also asked Zhang Shilang to give advice. ”

"The Luoshui River is south of Weishui, not far from Lishan, and you can hide in Lishan by the way, and it is an information gap, and this information difference is up to three days."

Xu Jingzong pondered, "Three days? ”

"From Yinan Khan to Luoshui River, you started to act for a day ahead, put things in the wine, and when their medicinal strength passed, you would have already finished the matter."

Xu Jingzong nodded, "The medicine given by the King of Hejian County is very good, and they won't wake up after a lot of slaps." ”

"Send someone to bring Yinan Khan into Chang'an City, take the initiative first, as long as the initiative is in our hands, everything will be easy to do."

"Wait for the Dali Temple in the middle of the court to check, and when they arrive near the Luoshui River, they will be one day ahead at this point, a total of three days ahead."

Xu Jingzong pondered: "Xia Guan remembered that when the army was marching and fighting, there were often such methods, and often a slow march would affect the change of the battle situation. ”

This is why Datang, which is now lagging behind in information transmission, can do this.

What Li Shimin wants is the result, as for the process, he shouldn't care, so many war horses, cattle and sheep are naturally happy.

People live in the world, and acting skills are indispensable.

After drinking a bowl of tea, Yi Nan Khan arrived in front of the ceremonial department.
