"The Southern Dynasty Clerk has touched the affairs on the grassland in such detail? It's horrible!" Beggar Khan watched Li Dan eat and drink to his heart's content, hooked up with his son and walked towards the outside of the camp, and said without worry.

"The Great Khan doesn't have to be like this, the Southern Dynasty is unified, the imperial power is stable, and it is only a matter of time before he continues to exert influence on Mo Nan and Mo Bei.

The key is that Ulla took the lead in taking this step from the steppe, and let the prince befriend Li Dan, so it would be unreasonable for the emperor not to put the Great Khan first." Wang Younian smiled:

"It's still the Great Khan who is thoughtful and has laid out in advance, and I think that among the ministries, there is only the Great Khan!" After flattery, he thought for a moment and said:

"Li Dan, although he has not yet been awarded an official position, this son is scheming and kind and peaceful, confident and not aggressive. Great Khan, the minister thinks that the prince must be friends with this person!

Wang Shangshu said that this person was extremely mysterious, and there were rumors in the palace that he had a deep relationship with both the emperor and Prince Ding.

Although I don't know whether it's true or not, judging from his words and actions, he should have received the support or acquiescence of His Majesty, otherwise how would he know about those secret things?

Please believe me, once this person enters the officialdom, he will definitely rise to prominence and have a bright future!"

At this time, the carriage that Karen had sent Li Dan away turned around and said happily, "Father Khan, my son just saw Li Tanhua's carriage, it was really beautiful, and the turning was extremely flexible, but it was much stronger than Lele's car!"

He said that he would use such a car to pick me up earlier, and promised to sell one to us at a low price, so that my sister could take the car when she returned to the grassland without having to ride a horse."

"I think you two get along well?" Beggar Khan asked with a smile.

Karen nodded, "He is a trustworthy and bold man, and he invited me to eat meat at his house tomorrow when I come out of the palace. He actually bet that the mutton slices he made were no worse than those made by our Ergu people, hehe, I'll see if it's true tomorrow."

"If this person says it, it shouldn't be bad." Beggar Khan nodded, "After I leave Shangjing, if you encounter problems or dangers, go to him!"

Karen was surprised, and looked at the smiling Wang Younian again. "Father Khan thinks so highly of him? The child remembered!" Clen put her hand on her chest and bowed in reply.

"It's not that I think highly of him, it's that he does something that makes people have to be convinced." The beggar Khan beckoned him to sit down and asked, "What kind of person is Li Dan, do you know or understand?"

"Isn't he Tanhua? The best of the best, needless to say?" After glancing at Wang Younian, Karen hurriedly added:

"Oh, Taifu just took the time to tell me that this person's martial arts should be good, and he has participated in the counterinsurgency war, so it seems that he is still a figure who is both civil and military!"

"Prince, I didn't have time to say a lot just now when I was in a hurry, I will now tell you in detail about the news from the secret stake in our palace and what I know about Li Dan."

Wang Younian then started from Li Dan was ordered to organize a team of people to accompany the army, and continued to talk until he protected King Ding on his way to Beijing.

These things are not only heard from the community, but also passed on by the people, revealed by the ministers close to the Han officials, and the news reported by the eunuchs of the Ergu bloodline in the palace.

Clen was amazed when he heard this. After he heard that Li Dan knew martial arts, he deliberately observed and tried the other party, and found that Li Dan was quite strong, the lower plate was very stable, and his breathing was evenly and soft.

If you don't understand, you will evaluate this person as walking in a tiger's step, or very imposing, but it is actually a specific manifestation of humanistic and martial arts cultivation and connotation realm in the body image.

People with high realms are actually more peaceful and introverted, not like the martial arts in their previous lives or as described in online articles, they appear with fierceness, evil spirit, or sharp eyes.

On the contrary, such people cannot control themselves to reach equilibrium and are actually at a second-rate level.

Really strong people never show strength, but their thinking, words, and demeanor will send a convincing signal, as the saying goes, "when others say strong, they are really strong"!

Karen carefully reviewed his relationship with Li Dan and found that he liked and was very convincing ...... his speech, judgment, and behavior, and he was really a strong man.

Just as Taifu taught "people gather like like", he has been been

Tell to be with strong people, learn from each of them, and together you can make yourself a big river!

"I don't mean that although this person is young, he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs!" Clen said.

"The prince missed half of it, it should be said that this son is an all-rounder in literature, martial arts, commerce, and engineering!" Wang Younian replied:

"There was such a figure in the Southern Dynasty, and the emperor had already secretly collected it, alas, this is the will of heaven! It seems that the Immortal Heaven will no longer agree to us restoring the glory of the previous dynasty!"

He sighed, "In such a situation, one cannot go against the sky, but can only sail with the current.

Therefore, the minister thinks that the best way for us to put aside our prejudices and achieve peace with the Southern Dynasties, and the most important thing in this is those important ministers who are not prejudiced against us and agree with the theory of Great China.

On the other hand, if Eryang's remnants had a majority in the court, peace would be difficult to achieve, and their innate hostility would not be eliminated.

But...... If we pin our hopes on officials like Li Dan, who have just grown up and are in favor of reconciliation, maybe we have a chance, at least there is still a chance for the Urabu!"

How to pass on the situation of the meeting to the palace? Will Your Majesty ask the eunuch who came to fetch the cake for Princess Miyun to bring back news?

Li Dan began to write a manuscript on the road, and he was going to write a secret fold when he went back. When he jumped out of the car, he was stunned to find another carriage parked in the yard.

"The carriage has just arrived, and Gong Xi and another Gong Liu have come with him, and they are sitting in the flower hall, and Mr. Wu and Ah Mao are accompanying them, so I will pick up Gongzi here and take you over immediately." Jiao Tong whispered anxiously.

"Okay." Li Dan walked in front, and Jiao Tong followed behind. "Huh? Is there anything else you haven't said?" Li Dan noticed his hesitant expression.

"There are two things, one is that he was bumped into by Yusuf when he was leading guests in, so he is in there now.

The other is that Lou Shiming's wife and nephew have all been picked up, and today I received a rumor that they will be able to arrive in Beijing tomorrow morning, where will Gongzi place them?"

"First arrange to live in the back of Xiao Xu's Sihai Residence, rest for a few days, and then arrange their new residence." After Li Dan finished speaking, he stopped and asked, "Who came with you?"

"It's a person named Deng Yue, and his official position is the deputy inspector of Yugan County."

"Oh, I see, it turns out that Xie Leopard's men. This man is very alert, so let him continue to be a guard for them."

"Yes!"

Jiao Tong is a housekeeper externally, and he is actually Li Dan's adjutant internally, so these things are conveyed and arranged by him.

During this time, he also saw that Li Dan had no dealings in vain, especially the people who came tonight, and he couldn't imagine it, so he became more and more determined to follow Li Dan to do things.

When Li Dan saw Lu Jiu and Liu Funian standing at the door, his heart felt like a stone falling to the ground, and now he didn't have to bother to write an excerpt. He first bowed his hand to Liu Funian, and then called Lu Jiu:

"Go and give the order, and gather the people. Tell Slender King Kong (Zhang Cymbal) to take a few brothers to seal this yard, and you go and help him.

Cross Jiufeng (Huang Qin) to the high place of Wangshan Pavilion to guard, Gao Cang guards the door of the back house, the iron knife master guards the aisle to the hall, and the master and apprentice of the judge and the fourth brother Pei sit here.

Song Xiao watched the gate of the hall, and Liu Qi took a few people to stand by near the aisle. Tell Liu En to close the door of the hall first, and no one is allowed to enter or leave until the order is given.

The rest of the people who were not assigned were left in the house first, and came out to help if there was a situation. Let Blackwood keep the Tessie from moving around."

"Yes!" Lu Jiu saluted and left, and soon remembered the assembly whistle of the bamboo flute.

Liu Funian smiled: "What, your guild still retains the style of the army?"

"Can't let them be too lax, although they are not in the military, it is still beneficial to manage by military orders, after all, there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in this capital division." Li Dan smiled and asked, "Do you need to pass it on?"

"What do you want in your own home? Just call your name at the door."

Li Dan arched his hand in, walked past the well, stepped on the stone path between the flowers and walked up, only to hear a burst of laughter inside. Liu Xi, who was standing at the door, saw him and immediately bought it over the threshold to welcome him out:

"You can come back, you have drunk two bells of tea!"

Seeing that he was dressed in long clothes today, Li Dan knew that he had come in with a concealed identity, and asked in a low voice about the role he played today, Li Dan picked the curtain and went in: "Yo, Brother Shoushi (the emperor played the character Shoushi in Longcheng), what phoenix blew you here?"

"Oh, Brother Zedong, how interesting is it that you went to visit the Great Khan of Ullah and didn't call me? It's a pity, it's a pity!" Zhao Tuo tapped his palm with a folding fan with a sad face.

Wu Mao, who was standing diagonally opposite, couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he guessed that the person brought by Liu Xi was surnamed Long, at least he was a prince. Would he be curious about an Egu Khan? This play is too fake!

"I'm sorry, I'll definitely bring my brother next time!" Li Dan said with a smile in his mouth and looked at Wu Mao. Wu Mao immediately tugged at Yu Sufu's sleeve, and the latter bowed to Zhao Tuo:

"It's an honor to talk to you, I can see that you are an elegant nobleman, and I hope to have the opportunity to pay you a visit."

"Well, Yusuf, let's go out first, don't delay them in talking about things." Wu Mao reminded softly.

Yusufu had no choice but to bow again with a regretful expression, and then followed Wu Mao out. Li Dan instructed in French behind him:

"Yusuf, I have a very confidential matter to discuss with His Royal Highness, please tell your companions to stay in the room until His Highness leaves."

Yusuf glanced at Zhao Tuo in surprise when he heard this, bowed his head and said, "As you wish, my lord."

"You actually speak Thaisi?" Zhao Tuo looked at Yousufu's back with wide eyes: "Send me one, I also want to learn!" It's good for me to look at this God-loving Yusuf!"

"Not good at all!" Li Dan retorted with a bitter face: "This kid is a missionary of the Nestorian Sect, so opening his mouth and closing his mouth is a matter of their teachings. If you want to send him to the palace, tomorrow you won't even have a place for me!"

"Eh, why don't you just tell him not to mention that?"

"No, no, Your Majesty really wants it, I'll change it for you!" Li Dan remembered the librarian Hicks and decided to find time to talk to him.

However, before this incident, he first reported to the emperor in detail about his visit to the beggar Khan and Karen today, and then said:

"Tomorrow Karen will enter the palace to see His Majesty, and ask the emperor to commend his father and son's efforts for the stability of the grassland and the safety of the people, and at the same time ensure that the ceremony will not be affected in the slightest by the departure of the beggar, so that he can leave immediately with peace of mind when he gets the edict."

"Good! This is a good job! It is very important to be able to convince him to return to the grassland with dignity and quickly to contact the various ministries of Monan!" Zhao Tuo seemed very satisfied.

"But Your Majesty, this is not the end of the matter." Li Dan said, "The minister has communicated with their father and son, and the current situation in the grassland is like this."

So saying, he went to the bookcase, found the paper and the brush, and drew a larger, more precise picture of the one he had drawn for the beggar;

He also drew the nine-sided guards he learned about when he and Hou Xie met quietly, and then put a thin piece of snowflake rice paper on top of this picture, and the picture below can clearly pass through the rice paper.

Then use a pencil to draw on it the estimated route of the advance of the Kaer's army.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the location of the four major tribes of Monan. Ula has a vast territory, but it is too scattered, and at present, there are no more than 30,000 elites in the south who can quickly concentrate people, and the minister thinks that it is more accurate to remove the old and weak, and say 25,000.

Similarly, according to the figures provided by Karen, the Luyan Department can currently assemble between 16,000 and 18,000;

Huifa is in his early 20,000s; The strongest and largest number of Chexue Janissaries of the previous dynasty had 22,000 to 24,000 men.

First of all, they are currently fighting on their own; secondly, due to the long-term trade blockade, the armor and equipment of all the troops are getting worse and worse, and some of the young people use war spears left over from their great-grandparents;

Finally, if the grassland is affected, it will definitely not only be the Korga, but all the departments will be affected to some extent, but the area north of Hanhai is the largest.

Therefore, once the southern tribes are affected by the disaster, they may suffer multiple squeezes this time, and the long border from Shanhaiguan to Yulin Town may fall into chaos

。

Finally, the minister had to report that Prince Karen had raised the possibility that the Karen would take advantage of the chaos. Move the Liucheng tribe eastward, enter the vast area of eastern and southern Liaodong along western Liaoning, and at the same time force the Luyan tribe to submit and threaten Yanjing!"

Zhao Tuo didn't speak for a while, and he was shocked by this situation. The stricken Monan tribes were powerless to resist, and at the same time, they could be attacked by the defenders of the Great Wall and cause chaos, and it was indeed very likely that the Kaers would move eastward.

When the imperial court and the Monan tribes understand, they are afraid that their cavalry will already be cruising outside the Shanhai Pass!

"This is ...... The southernmost point of Haraween Hills? Is it easy for them to come?" He asked.

"Your Majesty, there is a Kulun Pass here, the minister has consulted with General Hou, there is a willow river ditch in this place, about twenty miles wide. There is certainly no problem passing the cavalry.

On two occasions, the first emperor sent a partial teacher from this place to enter the hinterland of Seyan, and the old man walked this road.

But after hearing that the army retreated, the Seryan Department sent the Han army flag to set up a stockade on a high place here, named Kulenburg, and was garrisoned by 3,000 Han troops. Now, twenty years later, he doesn't know what is going on in the place."

"Even if there are still 3,000 people there, it's not much!" Zhao Tuo began to look worried, he folded his fingers and calculated:

"The combined number of these departments in Mo Nan is less than 90,000 people, but they are distributed in a vast area thousands of miles long and hundreds of miles deep." He sighed, "It's not much!"

"Actually, Your Majesty, please note that the Krkor is mainly fighting against Lu Yan, and by the way, he has shocked Hui Fa and struck Seyan, so it seems that his opponent is only 40,000 men, and these people may not have time to assemble.

From this point of view, it is completely possible to penetrate the Monan grassland and enter western Liaoning!" This analysis was very correct, but Li Dan made the emperor even more depressed.

If there is really a famine, and the herdsmen will not have time to rescue the disaster and migrate, who will have the heart to fight?

But if this is the case, it will be a problem for the Monan tribes to protect themselves, let alone fight back against the Korga.

If no one stopped him, the Khan would be able to swagger into the Liao and even the Songnen Plain at the lowest cost, taking it for himself, and at the same time coercing the surrounding tribes to submit, pay tribute, or assist in the war.

If that's the case, Yanjing will become the front line, and there will be a bottomless pit of spending money in the empire!

"What do you think? Any good ideas?" Zhao Tuo's voice was a little irritable and low.

At this time, Li Dan reached out and grabbed his arm, startling Eunuch Liu, who had not spoken not far away. "Your Majesty," Li Dan called softly, "The minister is here, don't worry!"

For some reason, although he said it in a loud and gentle voice, the emperor's newly restless heart was poured with cold water and immediately calmed down.

"I don't have to worry about it, and I plan for it." The emperor looked at Li Dan and smiled slightly.
