It turned out that Cai Xing himself had no clue: "I have been analyzing for a long time, and I don't think about it, so I want Brother Zedong to have any high opinions, so I made an appointment to wait at the door." He replied, slightly embarrassed.

"It's only been a few days since the younger brother took over, what can you think?" Li Dan smiled bitterly, and everyone's faces were suddenly disappointed. "Still, the thief's feet should still be there."

After Li Dan finished speaking, he turned to Chief Pan: "Brother Pan, it shouldn't be just this official letter sent from the border gate, right?"

"Of course," Director Pan nodded hurriedly: "In addition to the side generals' performances, the confessions of the guards and soldiers, the results of the inspection, and the testimony of the leading officer who arrived at the scene first."

He said and looked at Cai Xing, and when he saw Lang Zhong nodding, he quickly got up: "Master Li, wait a minute, I'll take it here!"

Taking advantage of this time, Li Dan asked, "Lord Cai, did these materials be sent directly to the Ministry of Staff, or were they handed over to the Yamen of the Ministry of War?" He wanted to find out how many people in the military department knew about it.

Sure enough, Cai Xing said: "The border gate sent two reports, one to the Ministry of War and one to the Department of Staff, but we have more detailed and comprehensive information here, and some of the information is handed over by the internal channels of the Department of Staff, and you will see the green head sign later."

Saying that Master Pan had come back in a hurry, with a big volume under his armpit, Li Dan didn't say anything, he reached out and took it and looked through them one by one, and said while reading:

"This group of thieves is very cunning, they didn't leave a single corpse, they obviously came prepared, they came with a heart, and they also had a ghost in their hearts, otherwise why do they do more?

This is certainly no ordinary horse thief. You see that the pretence here also says: The knife technique is accurate, and it is all a knife to kill and go straight to the point!"

Looking at his paperwork, Cai Xing asked softly, "Do you think there is something suspicious about this?"

"Hmm!" Li Dan nodded and handed him the things in his hand: "The corpses have been taken away, but the dead horses are not. You see, this is written at night. He said that there were two dead horses without shoes, what do you think about that?"

"No shoes?" Chief Liu took it and looked at it carefully, and thought about it, "When I first joined Fang Si seven years ago, I was sent to the caravan, and I followed them around the grassland for half a year before returning.

Whether it is Ullah or Huifa or Seyan, no matter how much our dynasty blockades, they will do everything possible to put a farrier on the warrior's horse, unless it is a horse ridden by the old and weak."

When he said this, Li Dan also remembered that the business of nail horseshoe outside the city of Jingshi was very prosperous a while ago, and the reason was that the tributary Ula envoy had asked blacksmiths to play horseshoes before leaving, and it was also passed down as a joke at that time.

"Have you ever been to Mobei in that half a year?" Li Dan asked.

"Nope!" Director Liu immediately shook his head: "It's too far and too dangerous, and the situation I said is all seen in the various departments of Monan. They are close to the side wall, so it's easier to get them.

If you go out with a horseshoe, you can exchange six sheepskins and two wolf skins over there, and any herdsman will not hesitate to exchange them!"

The corners of Li Dan's mouth curled up slightly when he heard this: "Then you say, is it possible that these dead horses without shoes, the warrior's best friend, are from the Korkata?"

Several people in the room were taken aback. Everyone looked at Master Liu in unison, and saw that his throat moved with difficulty: "Li, Lord Li's speculation is possible, but they are so far away, can they get by?"

"I have to ask you, Lord Liu, have you ever caught the Kerco spies who crossed the desert and secretly climbed over the side wall?"

The corners of his forehead were sweating, and he reached out and took out his handkerchief to wipe it, and replied, "Yes, there really is. But the spies are only a few people occasionally, and this job requires an army!"

"Since a few people can come, it is not much different from two or three hundred people coming. Besides, they can also be broken into pieces, pretend to be horse bandits, and then meet at the designated place." Li Dan said the map, and immediately Cai Xing went to get a map.

However, this picture is too abstract and freehand, so that Li Dan looks left and right, and it takes him half a day to figure out the direction.

"You see, according to the fold, the place where the accident happened was at the Sanyi Spring by the Dai Sea.

This place is said to have entered the territory of the Ula tribe, and the beggar Khan and his party

It must have been happy and relaxed, and maybe there was a night of drinking and celebrating, so let your guard down.

It is said that the enemy suddenly attacked them from the northeast, so what is there in the northeast?" He pointed his finger over, and several people shouted at the same time: "Jininghai!"

"The enemy is hiding in the Jining Sea!" Li Dan repeated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me!"

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Li Dan's deputy, Chen Chun, the adjutant ambassador of the Ministry of Affairs. He stood with his hands crossed at the door: "Come to the palace, please Cai Langzhong and Master Li enter the palace as soon as possible."

Both of them understood that this must have been reported to the emperor by the Ministry of War. Li Dan got up with Cai Xing, he could imagine how angry Zhao Tuo would be, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

However, to his surprise, Zhao Tuo's face was a little pale, but he did not jump as thunderous as he guessed. He quietly listened to Cai Xing's analysis and nodded with satisfaction:

"I want to cover it up! On the contrary, I was able to see their horses and feet, and I strengthened my determination to teach the Korkas a lesson! Now it's okay, I don't think anyone will propose any more peace, land concessions, or grants, right?"

Li Dan frowned, when he was talking at home, he listened to Yao Huang and they said what the main battle faction and the main peace faction were, and at that time they wondered how there was such a statement, and now that the words came out of the emperor's mouth, did anyone really want to negotiate peace with Kers?

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hou Xie grinned and said, "Everyone is like this, and there are still people here who are clamoring for peace, thinking that if the land of Luyan and Seyan is divided among Yebi Khan, and then marry him, everything will be fine!"

Only the devil can believe in him! Let him be a great sweat today, and tomorrow he will dare to kick the gate of our Liaoxi, how can this kind of evil wolf who can't feed him be benevolent?"

"That's it! That's ridiculous! It's all wishful thinking!" Li Gengsan and several other generals present opened their mouths to echo.

Li Dan suddenly noticed that Shan Hou Cao Dayuan was not there, strange, he was the Zuo Du Governor of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, the top general of the Wuren Group, why didn't Cao Hou come to participate in such a big event?

He was pondering, only to hear the shout of the palace royal history, and everyone quieted down. The emperor walked to the jade platform with his hands behind his back: "Don't talk about the side, let's discuss the aftermath."

The cabinet immediately sent someone to contact the Ullah Ministry to inform them of the matter and ask them to come and claim the body. Ordered Datong to send a five-rank official to carry the coffin for the funeral of the beggar's Khan and those above the seventh grade.

Officials of the Ministry of Rites were designated to go to the site of the accident to pay respects and erect a monument to commemorate it. For the pursuit of the beggar Khan, the first assistant and the secretary of state will draft a request."

The officials of the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites agreed one by one, and then Zhao Tuo proposed that the return of the beggar Khan to the grassland not only involves the western front containment plan, but also related to the plan of the Hanhai Protectorate, this strategy has now suffered a heavy setback, and the emperor hopes that everyone will make suggestions, how to make adjustments next?

"The minister suggests that Prince Kulen accept the canonization and inherit the throne immediately, so as to ensure the stability of the Urabe!" Hou Xie was the first to stand up and speak: "Only when Ula is stable, can we talk about the relationship with Huifa and the two joint forces, and the north and Lin!"

After exchanging views with several members of the cabinet, Han Wei stood up and said that the cabinet agreed to the proposal.

"Time is running out now, if Your Majesty wants to make full use of the Western Road Plan, the sooner the better!" After Han Wei finished speaking, Zhu Zhan replied that the day after tomorrow would be an auspicious day, and His Majesty could immediately carry out the canonization ceremony, and then arrange for people to escort Kulun back to the grassland.

Zhao Tuozhun played, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to worship Langzhong Duyi to preside over the canonization ceremony.

"After the war, I will send the Inner Country Marquis Deng Zhu to Mo Nan to establish the Hanhai Protectorate, and now it seems that it is better to do it sooner rather than later!

Deng Hou led the Datong Weiyuan Army, the Shanxi Zhenwu Army, and the Xuanfu Huai'an Army to Jininghai, set up a tent to protect the capital, build a fortress, hoard military rations and horses, and appease the troops of Wula, Huifa, and Seyan, and took full responsibility for the protection of Monan."

Three armies of 20,000 people, of which the Zhenwu army is 6,000 cavalry. With them to help Cullen support him, the problem of Cullen's lack of qualifications was solved.

The emperor asked the cabinet to lead everyone to discuss the candidate for the chief executive of the Imperial Palace, and then turned around and went to the back of the palace to "change clothes", Li Dan silently went out of the main hall to the corridor, and sure enough, he saw Liu Xi waving at him around the corner, and hurriedly walked over.

Liu Xi walked in front, babbling in his mouth: "I don't know which god kills, even the angels sent by His Majesty dare to kill. Alas! His Majesty fainted when he heard the news last night."

"What? Fainted?" Li Dan was taken aback, it seems that the Pterodactyl Guard is still faster than the normal post road rush action!

"No, the imperial doctor came to check the pulse, used needles, and took ice chips before he recovered, it's scary!"

Li Dan immediately guessed that the emperor might have symptoms of qi deficiency and lack of sleep, but he couldn't say this to Liu Xi. He followed him to the outside of the Qin'an Palace, and suddenly smelled a familiar aroma, and couldn't help frowning.

The palace people used jade hooks to pick up the bead curtain, Zhao Tuo paced out of the inner hall, and saw Li Dan with a smile on his face: "Li Qing is here? Sit down!"

After Li Dan thanked him, he sat down obliquely and looked at the emperor's face attentively.

"What, Qing is this for me?" Zhao Tuo asked curiously, "How, can you see the good and the bad?"

"The minister is a disciple of a saint, so he doesn't dare to participate in these strange powers and gods." Li Dan smiled: "But I saw that His Majesty was slightly sick, so I just looked at it twice."

"You say I'm sick?" Zhao Tuo was surprised: "I don't know myself, how can you know?"

"Has Your Majesty been feeling weak lately when you speak for a long time?"

"Exactly."

"Occasionally, it's accompanied by dizziness, and it's easy to sweat on your hands and feet, right?"

"Yes!" Zhao Tuo was surprised: "Is this a disease? Is there a cure?"

"Courage." Li Dan looked at the people in the hall: "Just stay with Duke Liu!"

Eunuch Liu looked at the emperor with a smile, then shook off the floating dust, and made a "swish" sound in his mouth, and the others immediately rushed out.

"What time does Your Majesty go to bed every day, how long does it take to fall asleep, and how many hours can you sleep soundly every day?"

"Master Lee......."

Eunuch Liu was about to speak, but Zhao Tuo waved his hand: "It's okay, I can trust Li Zedong!" After speaking, he leaned closer and said softly: "I have to review the excerpts every night, it is not easy to fall asleep after drinking strong tea, if there is a beautiful woman by the pillow, it is good, otherwise it is difficult to fall asleep tossing and turning."

Li Dan nodded: "Your Majesty, this is caused by internal weakness and dryness, liver fire invading the lungs, and poor kidney water transfer. Therefore, the vitality is impaired, which affects speech expression, and the lungs are on fire and attacks the heart, resulting in a feeling of dizziness.

Three methods can be managed: go to bed early and sleep more, eat wolfberries, and stand on the pile every day. Your Majesty's youth is not for a while, don't be greedy, the dragon's health will naturally last for a long time, remember to remember!

Goji berries are used five or six times a day, chewed carefully and swallowed with saliva, and long-term persistence will have miraculous effects. As for the practice of breathing while standing on the pile, the minister will go back and draw it and present it, and practice it for half an hour every day."

Zhao Tuo originally thought that he would open himself a house that would be completely supplemented, but unexpectedly, just these three, his face was slightly hot, and he said, "It's so easy?"

"It's easy to say, but it takes persistence." Li Dan also leaned over: "The minister is also a young man, and he doesn't hide it from His Majesty, and he has messed around with the two daughters during ...... day."

Zhao Tuo was stunned, he couldn't help laughing anymore, pointing at him and leaning back together, laughing so much that tears came out. It was easy to stop, and he took the handkerchief handed by Eunuch Liu and said:

"It's the first time since I ascended the throne that a courtier has been so straightforward to face! No, I dare to say that since the completion of this palace and the arrival of Emperor Taizong, Qing is also the first one!"

"Li Dan has this ability, as for how this ability came about, he originally dedicated it to His Majesty, and he didn't hide it!"

"Good, good, good, your method of advice is also the first in the ages!" Zhao Tuo patted the armrest of the chair and laughed again.

He smiled, and Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that after the killing of the beggar Khan, the emperor did not get angry because he endured it, but it did not mean that he was really not angry.

Syncope is a sign of anger. Now let him completely vent it in Li Dan's self-defilement, and vent this grief and anger in laughter.

In this way, he can really let go of this matter, instead of returning to the palace at night and then venting through all-night nonsense with the harem, which seems to be very cool, but it is actually very hurtful!

"In this way, Qing also supports the knot that the Kerris have done

Discuss?" Zhao Tuo easily stopped laughing, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked.

"The minister is not supporting, but convinced!"

"Oh?" Zhao Tuo put down the towel and looked at him attentively, "Does Qing know anything that no one else knows?"

"The minister got an inside report today, and the Khan sent a eunuch who could pretend to be a woman to the south to bribe the guards to enter the capital at Baiyangkou. But upon hearing of the return of the beggar Khan, the man disappeared.

In addition, in order to escort him, Yebi Khan sent a Chexue guard of nearly 300 men, which was hidden in the meadows of Jininghai, which was only 200 miles away from the place where the beggar Khan was killed.

Therefore, the minister can basically conclude that this case is the work of the Kaers!"

Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and said, "If the Kels don't die, I won't be able to sleep peacefully!" He got up and walked a few steps, then turned around and asked, "Can you get rid of this Chexue?"

"As long as you put the net on all sides and make a good bait, it shouldn't be difficult!"

"Bait? What do you mean ......?"

Li Dan stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty made a big announcement about this matter, and then sacrificed and posthumously presented it in Beijing, so that everyone knew that the beggar Khan of the Ula tribe died in the royal affairs and enjoyed the honor after his death.

Then Fu Keren succeeded to the throne, continued to canonize the canon, and then sent him back to the grassland to inherit his father's legacy. When the thief heard this, he was furious, and once again set up an ambush against Karen in order to completely disrupt His Majesty's plans.

Your Majesty can choose a good general to set up an ambush on all sides to fight back, and he will definitely be able to capture in one battle!"

"Wonderful, that's what I'm going to do!" Zhao Tuo stroked his palms and smiled: "Qing Zhenwu Zifang also!"

"The minister thought that this matter should be handed over to General Deng, who was familiar with the Northlands, had fought with the Egren many times, and was familiar with the use of cavalry. And if this battle is successful, avenging the blood revenge for the prince, Kulen will be grateful to General Deng, and there will be no obstacle to the establishment of the Metropolitan Protectorate!"

"Makes sense!" Only then did Zhao Tuo feel that most of the blocks in his chest had been removed, and he slapped Li Dan on the back of the shoulder and said, "With Qing here, it seems that everything is simple and easy."

"There is nothing mysterious about the minister, but he doesn't forget his original intention, and he can't let these troublesome little things ruin the big plan. As long as the plan can be carried out, the initiative is in me, and the enemy is passive. Your Majesty, do you think that's the truth?"

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Tuo nodded again and again, and suddenly felt regretful: "Otherwise, it's better to stay, I feel that I can't live without you by my side."

"It would be a mistake for Your Majesty to think so."

"What?"

"It doesn't matter if there is no Li Dan in the world, if there is no Your Majesty in the world, thousands of people will feel that the building will collapse, so Your Majesty can stop praising the ministers so much in the future, lest the ministers make mistakes."

Li Dan bowed down and replied, this answer was very ingenious, and even Eunuch Liu on the side couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Tuo turned around and helped him up, obviously much more relaxed, and said:

"Then while you're still in Beijing, help me see three things. The first is the 3,700 fire guns you sent, that Song Qian Professor Shenji Battalion has been practicing hard for a month, I plan to let them go to Liaoxi with you this time to try their skills, how about it?"

"Soldiers are based on actual combat, and it is a fake trick to practice and not fight, and the minister agrees!" Li Dan replied: "It happened that all the troops in Beijing changed to horse-drawn carriages and marched north, together with the Ruichang battalion, which had just been disguised as engineers."

"Good! The second thing is about peace."

"Your Majesty," Li Dan asked, "Is there a peace faction in the DPRK and China, as General Fang Cai Hou said?"

"It is not surprising that there are those who advocate fighting, and there are those who advocate peace. What?"

"The minister is worried that halfway through the battle on the front line, there will be voices of peace in the rear."

Zhao Tuo smiled: "Don't worry about this, I'm not Zhao Gou, and I won't do the thirteen gold medal things."

Li Dan also smiled: "The minister believes in Your Majesty. Frankly, the minister understood Gaozong's decision back then."

"Oh?" Zhao Tuo was surprised: "Don't you think he's too soft?"

"The Southern Dynasty has not been established for a long time, and the financial resources for successive campaigns have been scarce, and the Jin State has the treasury reserves of the former Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and there are cavalry mobile battles.

Only by weakening and striking at the Jin State, curbing its southward ambitions, allowing the Southern Dynasty to gain time to recuperate, rectify the affairs of the court, eliminate the disadvantages and retain the benefits, and innovate and be pragmatic, can the future of the Southern Dynasty be the only way.

However, Yue Fei and other generals did not obey the emperor's orders, which actually weakened the imperial power, causing the Qin clan to seize power by killing the Yue clan.

This made the Gaozong Dynasty inactive in the later period, and the court also fell into a passable malaise. It is said that this is the Qin clan's crime of disrupting the dynasty, but they don't know that in fact, the Yue clan has also contributed to the trouble!"

Seeing Zhao Tuo nodding thoughtfully, Li Dan changed the topic:

"But now the situation is different, Your Majesty's prestige and authority have grown day by day after his pro-government, and everyone says that His Majesty is comparable to the former Emperor Song Renzong. Therefore, the minister is only worried that the Lord and the faction will disturb His Majesty's sight, and he is not worried that His Majesty will encounter Qin Hui."

"Ha, you've grown a lot of whiskers!" Zhao Tuo scolded with a smile, and then said:

"But after the war, there is still to negotiate peace, you said earlier that you want to take back the land of the three states and two counties, but most of this land belongs to Seyan, and the small part belongs to Lu Yan, how can they let it go easily?

And what can I say about the Kelco, that he can't do all the bad things and be okay if he retracts?"

"Oh, so His Majesty asked this." Li Dan nodded: "The minister thinks that first of all, the Kercos must return all the encroached pastures, and secondly, the matter will be provoked by it, and some of the grasslands must be ceded to the Monan Tribes.

Let's help Seyan and Lu Yan talk about a large piece of grassland and come back, and then collect the three states and two counties as interest, this is always okay, right?"

"Hmm." Zhao Tuo smiled: "What else?"

"The Karkas must return all the captives and captives and, if they are dead or disabled, one more as compensation. In addition, Your Majesty may promise to allow caravans to trade with it the following year, as long as it comes once a year to pay tribute." Li Dan suggested.

The emperor carefully recorded all this in pencil, and finally looked up and said, "One last thing: the queen mother likes the tall and tall Dou Qing (champion) very much, and plans to recruit him as a concubine."

"Okay!" Li Dan came to his spirit when he heard it: "This champion is very good in righteousness, and his poetry and writing are also passable, but he is not effective in practice, and there is always a taste of fireworks that do not eat the world.

However, it is quite suitable for him to be a colt, honest and stocky, and his character is very stable. If he is released as an official, it will hurt him, so he will stay in the Jingshi and give him a mansion, and then give him a vacancy as an assistant to the Tongwen Pavilion, which is good!"

Zhao Tuo waited patiently for him to finish speaking, and asked faintly, "Agree so quickly, you don't ask who to marry him?"

"Ah, who?"

The emperor reached out and dipped the water in the teacup and wrote the word "Miyun" on the coffee table. Li Dan was stunned for a moment!
