Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

It was also the first time that Shen Lian knew that Li Shimin valued him so much.

He is certainly smart, but all he has been thinking about is how to solve the case and how to fight against Beidou. He has never really thought about his role in Datang.

He looked at Wen Yuan, thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, please listen to me to explain my reasons first."

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian said: "First of all, the Beidou Society is very cunning. They may have trump cards that we can't imagine. But for now, I am the only one who can deal with the Beidou Society... Your Majesty should admit this, right?"

Li Shimin pursed his lips, but still nodded.

Indeed, judging from this game between Beichen and Shen Lian, as Beichen is so cunning, it is true that only the more evil Shen Lian can deal with Beichen.

Shen Lian added: "Secondly, this is our first, and probably our only, opportunity to go straight to the throat of the Beidou Society."

"This time we acted quickly, and without Beidou's response, it would be difficult for them to evacuate from their base in Nanzhao."

"But after this action, Beidou will definitely not repeat the same mistakes, and they will not give us a second chance like this."

"So, we can say that there is only one chance."

"I only have this chance. I can face the Beidou Association directly, investigate the situation of the Beidou Association, and even directly expose the old background of the Beidou Association!"

"This matter is the same... No one else can do it except me, but I will not take risks if anyone else can do it."

Li Shimin sighed again.

Only at this time did he realize that Datang still lacks talents!

As a result, many things can only be done by Shen Lian alone.

Without Shen Lian, nothing would work.

"And the third..."

Shen Lian raised his eyes and said, "I hope that I can use all my firepower and fight against Beidou regardless of anything!"

"Before I was in Chang'an, to be honest, I was tied up, and I couldn't do many things."

"That's why Beichen escaped!"

"But if I'm in Nanzhao, I can do everything I can. At that time, I can truly display my full strength."

"So, I want to go!"

Li Shimin frowned tightly as he listened to Shen Lian's serious words.

To be honest, he still subjectively didn't want Shen Lian to pass.

After all, no one can predict the future.

In case of any accident, it is too late to regret.

But for the few reasons Shen Lian said, it is true that only Shen Lian can do it.

No one else can do it.

But what changed his heart the most was Shen Lian's last words.

He wants to go.

He wants to have a full-on fight with Beidouhui!
Li Shimin was also young.

He knew very well that for people of Shen Lian's age, if he stopped Shen Lian this time, it might become Shen Lian's eternal regret.

There are not many opportunities to play games with an opponent without any scruples like this.

Life, maybe only once or twice.

And if you miss it, you may never have another chance.

When he was young, he also went into battle desperately regardless of his safety.

Also beheaded the enemy's defenders among thousands of enemies!
Even now, sometimes he still misses his former high-spirited self.

He will also miss the self who had no scruples and went all out.

Therefore, he understood Shen Lian's thoughts at this time.

For Shen Lian, perhaps, this is the only chance.

If you miss it, there will be no more!
and……

Li Shimin also wanted to know how terrifying it would be when the monster-like Shen Lian unleashed all his firepower and had no scruples.

The cancer of Beidou society must be eliminated.

It's rare to have such an opportunity...

The thoughts in Li Shimin's mind continued to surge upwards.

All kinds of ideas keep coming up.

He hesitated, he hesitated, he pondered.

Finally, he sighed.

Li Shimin looked at Shen Lian and said, "Have you really decided?"

"Shen Lian, you have to know that this is not an easy thing. Once you leave, if something unexpected happens, it may be difficult to go back."

Shen Lian chuckled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I went to kill the enemy, not to put myself in danger."

"Your Majesty has personally witnessed every action I take. In your Majesty's opinion, which one is not well-prepared?"

"So, since I dare to go, I must have something to rely on."

"Your Majesty need not worry about my safety."

Shen Lian was very confident.

That kind of confidence is highly contagious.

Even Li Shimin is deeply infected at this moment.

Li Shimin pursed his lips and swiped his finger on the table twice. The next moment, he finally let out a breath and said, "Okay, I won't stop you."

"But Shen Lian, you must remember my words!"

Shen Lian hurriedly looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said: "First, don't forget, you are no longer alone!"

Shen Lian nodded.

He took a deep breath, then nodded heavily to Li Shimin, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand."

"second."

Li Shimin looked at Shen Lian and said: "You are not just Shen Lian, you are Shen Lian of the Tang Dynasty. I have always placed high hopes on you, so, Shen Lian, you must remember that every action you take will It will determine the future of Datang."

"Will the future of Datang be more prosperous, or will there be no successors!"

"Will the people of Tang Dynasty have a happier future, or a cold and hopeless future!"

"Your life and death are all about these!"

"So...you, you must live! You must live!"

Shen Lian nodded heavily again.

Before him, because someone took the responsibility for him, he was always relaxed.

But now, with the promotion of status, the whisper of power, and the promotion of fame, it is time for him to bear corresponding responsibilities.

"And the third..."

Li Shimin looked at Shen Lian and spoke much softer: "Never forget that Datang is your home. No matter what you do in the front, in our hearts, you will always be the best, and we will always be you. The strongest backing, we...have been waiting for your safe return!"

When Shen Lian heard Li Shimin's words, his heart was filled with warmth.

He knew that Li Shimin, who is the king of a country, can say these words, it can only show that I, Li Shimin, really regard myself as a relative.

Otherwise, the majestic king of a country would never say such emotional words to his courtiers.

Shen Lian took a deep breath and bowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty's concern and care for me will be kept in my heart."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I promise that you will come back safely after this trip!" Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "The eagle will always spread its wings. If you want to go, then go."

"However, we must be fully prepared, and we must fight a prepared battle."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will be fully prepared. Before departure, I will prepare everything needed."

Li Shimin was relatively relieved about Shen Lian.

Shen Lian is smart, calm and never radical in his actions.

Everything is decided after planning.

Therefore, although there is still unavoidable worry, in my heart, I still believe in Shen Lian.

He said, "When are you going to leave?"

Shen Lian thought for a moment and said, "The sooner the better. Three days is enough for me to prepare everything."

"If possible, it's best to leave in three days."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Three days is too short."

"Tomorrow, I will convene the Alliance Council. If it goes well, there will be results tomorrow."

"But it will take some time for the order of the alliance to spread to all countries."

"At the same time, it will take some time for countries to mobilize their troops."

"So, I feel that no matter how fast it is, it will take half a month."

Shen Lian shook his head and said, "No, it's too long."

"If Beidou will hear the wind, such a long time is enough for them to make full preparations."

Li Shimin said: "But there is no way. After all, it is not a country, and many countries are far away. It is not so easy to act in a unified way."

Shen Lian pursed his lips and said immediately: "Your Majesty, you can do this."

Li Shimin looked quickly at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian said: "Your Majesty will issue an order tomorrow for all countries to send troops as quickly as possible."

"Then His Majesty informed the countries of the situation, saying that we are sending troops now, which is a sneak attack on Nanzhao, and the pressure will be much less, and the casualties will be much less."

"But if there is a delay, Nanzhao will probably make preparations, and there will definitely be huge casualties."

"So His Majesty gave them time. No matter when they send troops, His Majesty said, ten days later, they must see troops from various countries at the border of Nanzhao."

"If any country is late, then that country will delay the marching speed of all the alliance troops, and then fight Nanzhao. If Nanzhao is prepared, then let those countries that are late be the vanguard!"

"The pioneers are definitely dangerous, but who made them late, it was because they were late that Nanzhao was prepared, so if they don't face the danger, who will?"

"Your Majesty told them that. I believe that many countries will agree. This is the benefit of the alliance. The minority obeys the majority. Even if some countries want to take advantage of it, they have no chance to take advantage of it."

"And [-] troops are not too small for some small countries. If they are really lost, it will be a huge blow, so...they are definitely reluctant to bear this kind of sacrifice. Arrived!"

"certainly……"

Shen Lian paused and said: "It can't just be a big stick, but also some sweetness."

"For example, Your Majesty can say that after the capture of Nanzhao in the future, the spoils obtained will be distributed according to the order of each country's arrival!"

"In this case, if you add sweet dates to the big stick, I don't believe that they won't submit obediently!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up after listening to Shen Lian's words.

He clapped his hands and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Shen Lian, this is a good idea!"

"but……"

He frowned again, and said: "Ten days, for some countries that are far away from Nanzhao, it may be a bit late. Even if they don't delay, I am worried that they will not be able to arrive."

Shen Lian laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you underestimate these envoys and those countries. I believe that these envoys must have a way to send the news back to their countries in a very short period of time."

"As for the [-] army, no matter how slow it is to mobilize, as long as they don't delay on the way, I have calculated that they can arrive!"

"Even, I, Datang, can lend them a way so that they don't have to go too far."

"In this case, if they are still late..."

Shen Lian sneered: "Then don't blame us for really using them to kill chickens to scare monkeys. Alliance, sometimes it's not enough to just be gentle. Killing chickens to scare monkeys is still necessary!"

As the emperor, Li Shimin naturally understood what Shen Lian meant.

In anything, it is not enough to blindly give benefits, or blindly give pressure.

The benefits go hand in hand with the stress.

Huairou and the big stick fell at the same time.

The two cooperate with each other and work closely together.

This is the perfect way to manipulate others.

This is the way to be a king.

The same is true for countries.

A country can actually be regarded as a person.

As long as the method is appropriate, there is no essential difference from controlling courtiers.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "In this case, ten days is indeed enough."

"Originally, it would take at least half a month for them to send troops, but it would take several days to send troops to Nanzhao."

"At that time, it may take more than 20 days."

"But now, according to your method, you can directly reduce the time to ten days. I believe that even if Nanzhao hears the news, it will definitely not have enough time to deal with it."

Shen Lian nodded slightly and said: "Ten days is the shortest time we can currently achieve. Any shorter time is impractical."

"As for Nanzhao, they will definitely know that we are going to deal with them. This kind of thing cannot be hidden, but because the time is too short, they have no time to make various arrangements. In other words, they can only watch helplessly. Let's call."

Li Shimin laughed, and said: "That's right, we must let them watch how they themselves perish, in order to relieve my hatred!"

He took a deep breath, looked at Shen Lian, and said, "Okay, since you have decided to go, then you should prepare well."

"I will hold an alliance meeting tomorrow, and then everything will go according to your plan. I will do my best to help you realize your plan!"

"Shen Lian, we must return safely and victoriously!"

Shen Lian bowed slightly to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will not let you down!"

After all, he didn't stay any longer, and turned and left directly.

After leaving the palace, it was still early.

Shen Lian took a long breath and stretched.

The purpose of entering the palace can be regarded as fulfilled.

Then, he and Li Shimin explained their plan.

There is no longer any trouble for him to go to Nanzhao.

Before leaving, basically everything that should be done was done.

Then, the next step is to prepare for the rush to Nanzhao.

It is the first time to fight head-on with Beidou, and for the first time, you don't have to worry about this, worry about that, you don't need to restrain your ability, you can do everything...

Shen Lian is also looking forward to it.

The previous fights with Beichen were all in Chang'an, and there are too many people in Chang'an city.

So Shen Lian was a little constrained.

Beichen can do whatever he wants.

But he can't.
