Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 989;

Chapter 940 three; military emergency

In the late autumn of 640 AD.

The Yinan Khan of the Xue Yantuo tribe basically unified the prairie.

Tuyuhun, who had been killed and defeated in a big way, danced the most joyously. He used the strength of the whole clan and dispatched an army of 36 to cooperate with Xue Yantuo's actions. He approached the city and set up camp [-] miles outside Suzhou city.

Yi Nan is not a fool either, he contacted the Tieli tribe of the nine surnames, and the eight surnames dispatched together to separate the forces of the two surnames to suppress Li Yu's woman, the Huihe princess Tajiguli.

Surrounding the Uighur tribe in all directions, Tajiguli was immobilized, and she was extremely anxious. She sent three groups of scouts in a row, trying to send letters to her men in Chang'an and Lingnan, but they were all beheaded by Tie Le's men and horses. All scattered, only four or five survivors fled back, telling about the danger of being surrounded on all sides.

It can be regarded as cutting off contact with Li Yu's reinforcements, which is equivalent to knocking off one of Li Yu's arms in advance.

The Lord of Tubo led his troops on a trip in person. The 13 army divided into [-], directly killed Li Yu's sworn brother, Ashinasheer tribe, hundreds of miles away. Now Ashinasheer can't take care of himself, sleeps and eats restlessly...

Tubo divided two armies and attacked Yunzhou directly. More than a dozen cities near Yunzhou, which were noisy, closed the city gates tightly, cut off the merchants, and avoided them.

Xue Yantuo's Pearl Khan Yinan swears to the Changshengtian that he will take advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of the unification of the prairie to sweep the Central Plains and rule the world.

With the prestige of unifying the prairie, the barbarians are as imposing as a rainbow, leading an army of 20, pressing forward step by step from the north,
The frontiers of the Li and Tang courts were in a hurry. On the official roads in the north, northeast, and northwest, there were often Hongling messengers running to and from Chang'an.

That night!

Eight hundred li was in a hurry, Hongling messengers arrived one after another, several gates of Chang'an City did not dare to close these days, because the messengers were too frequent.

"Hurry up, get out of the way, the bamboo whistle is ringing, three places, a total of three bamboo whistles."

Late autumn!

Chang'an City!
It's seven o'clock!

The sharp whistle, mixed with the sound of horseshoes, approached Chang'an City Gwanghwamun!
The guard at the gate is ordering his men;
"Open the front door completely, and don't delay the Hongling messenger's report, otherwise we will be punished for delaying the military plane, and even the gods will not be able to protect us."

"only!"

"Don't worry boss, you have been working for seven or eight years, when did we tell you to eat the whip?"

"That's it."

Where Hongling's messenger passes, he must go through the main entrance.

Not long after the city gate opened, a soldier riding a fast horse with red feathers on his head galloped into the city without stopping for a moment.

The cavalry on horseback galloped all the way into the imperial city.

Li Shimin had already received the sound transmission from the whistle along the way, and stood in the open space in front of the Taiji Palace early.

The cavalry also spotted the emperor under the torch and rode their horses all the way over.

"Report."

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor... Hu Chi... Phew..."

"Don't worry, speak slowly, the sky won't fall, you have armor on, you don't need to salute."

"Hoo...yes,...thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor, to report to Your Majesty, the Lord of Tubo led his troops personally, and over [-] soldiers invaded Yunzhou less than a hundred miles away. The generals stationed in Yunzhou City closed the gates tightly, If you dare to act recklessly, hurry up and send us military information."

"Okay! Got it, you go down and rest, the court will take care of it."

"Wei! Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."

Just as Li Shimin was about to remove the wax, another horse ran in quickly, and the sound of the whistle on his shoulder was breathtaking!Hearing it made people's hair stand on end.

"Report."

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, General Zuo Xiaowei Ashinasheer sent someone for help, but was killed by the Tubo Kingdom Zuolu General with [-] troops to the door of the house, and asked the imperial court to send troops to relieve the difficulties."

"Understood, step back and rest."

"only!"

"Your Majesty, it can be dismantled."

Qian Dehai carefully persuaded the emperor.

Dazed in a daze, Li Shimin dealt with it casually;

"Don't worry, there is one more, just wait, it's not too late to take apart one piece and check the other piece."

"Yes, the servant is talking too much."

"Talking? Not at all, go ahead, send someone out, and all civil and military officials will come to court."

"Your Majesty, it's not long since it got dark, how many hours are there before the court meeting..."

"Do you still need to pay attention to the time now? Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for one hour, eating the king's salary and worrying about the king's worries, I am not in the mood to sleep. If they can still sleep, they are animals."

"Yes, yes, this servant will make arrangements."

"Hold on."

Li Shimin turned around, staring at Qian Dehai with wolf-like eyes;
"Where's Li Yu?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since my father-in-law went to the Zuowuwei camp to take over the military power that day, he has been taking turns resting in the Sanwei camp for the past few months. He has never returned to the General's Mansion and Da'an Palace half a time.

The servant girl heard His Highness the Crown Prince say that the clothes and parcels of the Duke were sent from the Da'an Palace, and that the palace servants sent by the Da'an Palace to serve the Duke... were kicked out of the camp and were not allowed to enter..."

"Is he on duty in that camp tonight?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the Lord is the turn of the Beiya Imperial Army today, and the slaves and maids inquired clearly when they were eating at night."

"Ah."

"Tell Li Yu that three thousand-man teams of the Beiya Imperial Army will be urgently dispatched to work."

"Thousand...team? Three more...Your Majesty, how did you think...to transfer so many sons...servants will arrange..."

Qian was stunned, it was always his job to send all the civil and military officials to the court meeting, why did he still have to mobilize the Beiya imperial army?Doesn't the emperor want him anymore?
The flesh at the corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched several times, and responded with a sneer;

"You can only call people, you can't arrange the situation I want, only Li Yu's methods and cruelty, without showing affection, can arrange what I want, understand?"

"Understand……"

"Understood? What do you understand?"

"Uh...Your Majesty, you are afraid that some officials will lie in bed, so you asked the father-in-law to take someone to force them..."

"I know you don't understand. Tell those who are on duty in the three provinces tonight, quickly write the written text, stamp it with a big seal, send it to the Ministry of War, and pass it to Li Yu."

"It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty...how do you write this? Ask people to wake up to attend the court meeting...or..."

Li Shimin turned his head again, and Qian Dehai quickly lowered his head when he saw it.

"Tell Ma Zhou, write half and leave half empty, and I will fill in what is missing tonight tomorrow. When the country is in crisis, a courtier should worry about the king's worries. It is right to sleep and eat. If you are happy in the red building and brothel tonight, Arrest them all and put them in the cells of Dali Temple, no matter how high or low he is, or where he is from, let alone how capable he is.”

Li Shimin grabbed the two frontier emergency reports and continued gnashing his teeth;

"Li Yu is right. There are too many officials in the imperial court, and there are too many incompetent people who don't do anything but get paid. This happens to be an opportunity, and it's time to clean it up."

"It's useless no matter how powerful you are, if you don't contribute to the court, and you don't even have your heart on the court's side, what's the use of him? It's better to vacate the seat as soon as possible, and leave it for useful people to sit in peace."

Qian Dehai was shocked

"Yes! The emperor has listened to the words of the Li family's father-in-law. It is obvious that he is following what the father-in-law said. Once the opportunity arises, he will seize it tightly and kill more than half of the dogs in the court..."

Qian Dehai secretly wiped his sweat with the cuff of his clothes;

"The emperor is cruel enough, but this father-in-law of the Li family is even more cruel. If he really does what he said, most of the people in the court will be beheaded.

Good guy!Isn't this chaos?Those are all from big families with five surnames and Qiwangli!The emperor is about to go crazy... he's just crazy, can he listen to that lunatic Li Yu's advice if he's not crazy? "

Li Shimin's words disrupted Qian Dehai's thinking;

"I didn't go to the brothel tonight, but I got drunk. There should be some of them. These people were all arrested and watched in the compound of the Ministry of Industry. Let's talk about their crimes tomorrow!"

"only!"

"At the same time, send people to communicate with Li Yu, and then send people to the Xuanjia camp, dispatch 3000 people, and divide them into two teams with Li Yu. They are divided into two from Zhuque Street. Xuanjia is in charge of the west half, and Li Yu is in charge of the east. Yu Guan."

"only!"

"If you don't go, when will you stay?"

"Your Majesty calm down, I have something to say, Your Majesty, please think about it, it is of course wise to arrest those who went to the brothel,
But... those who don't go, drop by for a drink or something, are also arrested, will it be... a big commotion?Imagine, Your Majesty, if eating a drink is a crime, it’s hard to explain, Your Majesty..."

"explain?"

"Shall I explain it to them?"

"No, no, no, no, what this servant means is... too much movement... When the country is in crisis, it's time to employ people..."

"Even you know it's a national crisis?"

"It's a crime not to think about serving the court when the country is in crisis, and to get drunk. Go and pass the order."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Qian Dehuan waved his hand, got up and left with a dozen or so servants.

Here another fast horse came in with a sharp and miserable whistle.

"Report."

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, Xue Yantuo, a barbarian, has entered another fifteen miles."

"Understood, back off."

"only!"

Hearing Qian Dehai from the military newspaper, he shook his head and muttered while walking;
"More than 30 troops are on the border. Whoever is the emperor will have to eat and sleep, and losing his temper is inevitable...Depending on everyone's fortune, it is estimated that after tonight, many officials will fall from their horses!"

Qian Dehai arranged for the servants to pass orders, and after splitting up, he went to the Beiya Forbidden Army camp outside the Xuanwu Gate, and went all the way to Li Yu's White Tiger Hall.

"My lord, my servants have seen me, and I'm blessed and safe."

Before going to sleep, Li Yu was checking various affairs in the brightly lit White Tiger lobby.

There are three sets of Big Dipper Seven Star Formation, and they have been living with Li Yu in the barracks. The Seven Stars on duty, all holding the treasure of the town card, sit behind Li Yu.

The two brothers Ma 19 were one of Li Yu's blood guard commanders, with extremely sharp Tang knives hanging from their waists, holding iron shrouds in their hands, standing at the two ends of the desk like menacing gods.

In the White Tiger Hall, Liang Bold and his two closest brothers, Agui Daniel, were waiting in the hall with dozens of guards.

On the screen behind Li Yu, the most famous painter in the imperial court personally painted a fierce tiger descending the mountain, showing its teeth and claws, vividly.

The entire White Tiger Hall was solemn and murderous. Although it was not cold in late autumn, but still had a third of the heat of midsummer, Qian Dehai felt an inexplicable chill creeping into his body. .

Qian Dehai, who was cold and excited, put away his hippie smile, and stood at the bottom of the hall to salute carefully.

Seeing Qian Dehai, Li Yuhai was neither happy nor sad, and seemed to be very kind, but Qian Dehai felt that this guy was more and more like Qin Qiong, the killer who taught him the art of war and martial arts. too heavy too heavy...

"Grandpa? Are you safe and sound, Chief Manager?"

"Um, slaves pay respects to the commander in chief, the commander in chief, I wish you all the best."

"Fucking fart, why did you forget about this, I hope this living God of Wealth will not come to find fault with him."

Qian Dehai would not despise trouble, he knew the rules of Baihu Hall in Sixteen Guards, so he quickly bowed down again to salute.

"Excuse me, Chief Manager, please."

Sure enough, it's okay!
It seems that today... the evil God of Wealth is in a good mood.

"Thank you sir."

Qian Dehai, who thanked him for the gift, complained in his heart, of course he didn't dare to act recklessly on the face, but in his heart he was quite disapproving;

"You're just a temporary general, you don't know what you're going to do in the future, you're really putting on airs..."

Li Yu turned his head and looked at the hourglass. He has long been used to the timekeeping method here.
"It's almost the time of midnight. In the middle of the night, the chief executive is not resting in the palace. How come he has time to come to my Beiya camp?"

Since Li Yu was reviewing the strength of the Beiya Imperial Army during the day, Li Yu hadn't taken off his armor yet, and he was sitting high in the White Tiger Hall. The combination of majesty and majesty made people dare not underestimate it, let alone look directly at it.

Li Yu dealt with Qian Dehai casually, and Li Yu rolled up the paperwork in his hand and put it aside.

"Back to the Commander, the servants came here at the emperor's order... His Majesty's command, the documents of the three provinces are being made, and they will be sent to the Ministry of War within half an hour. There are officials on duty in the six departments of the three provinces, so they will be delivered soon. Commander here..."

Qian Dehai translated all the emperor's words and said them clearly.

From Qian Dehai's point of view, Li Yu's movement of tapping on the table was exactly the same as that of the emperor.

"The minister obeyed the order."

"Where is the orderly?"

Following Li Yu's yelling, two sharp soldiers quickly stepped into the hall and agreed.

"People are here! Commander-in-Chief, please order."

"The order goes on. In my Beiya camp, the left, middle and right armies each send out a thousand-man team. They must gather immediately. This commander will lead them personally and go to Chang'an City to carry out military operations."

"Order!"

"The commander-in-chief orders out."

"Under the general's order."

"General Order!"

The two messengers sang three times in a row according to the rules, ran out of the White Tiger Hall, and left with the order.

After giving the order, Li Yu stood up and walked down unhurriedly.

"Thank you for taking care of this trip."

Li Yu winked at Agui who was next to him, and Agui took out a gold ingot and stuffed it into Qian Dehai's cuff.

Of course, Qian Dehai was elated, and hurriedly offered a bunch of flattery. Is it because of this yellow and white thing that he came here in person? His goal has been achieved, can he not be happy?

Although Qian Dehai is incomplete, in fact, before he was castrated, he had wives, concubines and children, so of course he had to think a lot about his family!
"Marshal, you are still so generous. No wonder your name is the God of Wealth. You really deserve your reputation."

"The manager always reminds me of many things, and I'm always grateful. I don't know His Majesty... What the manager said just now is not very specific... It's better to ask what His Majesty means. When I act, I know what I mean , I'm in charge."

"Don't worry, Commander. From the perspective of slaves, Commander, you can dispose of it according to your own wishes. His Majesty the Emperor seems to deliberately not say how to deal with it... So slaves think, you don't have to think too much..."
