Chapter 481 The royal driver goes south

It was not difficult for Wu Meiniang to guess this. She knew all Li Xiaodie's suggestions to Li Chengdao in Penglai Garden today in less than half an hour.

Wu Meiniang also knew that His Majesty really valued that little girl the most, so he took her word for it because he really wanted to let her go.

It may not be a bad thing to let yourself govern a country. It is better than staying in the harem and not seeing the light of day.

The desire for power gave Wu Meiniang hope again, but she felt very lonely. She loved Li Chengdao, but Li Chengdao wanted to let her out of the palace.

His position in his heart has plummeted since Li Xiaodie came.

There is a prince in Tianzhu, and Wu Meiniang cannot guess where Li Chengdao will put her.

In short, she decided to supervise the country well and make some achievements to let His Majesty know that she has this ability.

Moreover, the supervision of the country itself was an observation, and Wu Meiniang knew it best.

If you don't do it well, even if you are released, you may not have all the rights in your hands when you get to that country.

Haitang felt strange when she saw Wu Meiniang was worried and swollen.

The third day!

The eldest grandson Shunde personally led the imperial army of 30,000 people, Yue Fei led 500 imperial guards, Yue Yun escorted him, and Yu Jian and Cen Wenwen accompanied him. The army protected Concubine Diedie and Li Chengdao as they marched toward Lingnan Road in yellow-covered chariots and phoenix chariots.

The people of Chang'an sent the royal chariot outside Shili Pavilion.

Wu Meiniang and her officials lined up at the south gate of Chang'an to see him off.

Since Li Xiaodie was undergoing treatment, Hua Tuo also accompanied him and treated Li Xiaodie on the road.

The banners were fluttering, and the three hundred palace maids and three hundred eunuchs were as powerful as thunder all the way, and the people who passed by admired him.

The royal chariot is one foot wide and twelve feet long. It is simply a mobile palace with all the facilities inside.

In addition to spending time with Hua Tuo, Li Xiaodie spends the rest of the day hanging out with Li Chengdao in the imperial chariot.

Being an emperor is so comfortable that you don't need it.

Spend as much money as you want!

One day when he entered Xiangzhou Prefecture on Jiangnan Road, Feng Junheng, the governor of Xiangzhou, prepared a palace for Li Chengdao early and arranged it in the Liangbi Garden of Sun Yuancai, the richest man in Xiangzhou.

Sun Yuancai and his family moved into another house early.

Li Chengdao and Li Xiaodie moved into Liangbi Garden and felt happy when they saw that the scenery here was unique and elegant, with Jiangnan elegance. It was more down-to-earth than the palace.

It was spring flowers in March, the wind was fragrant, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, Li Chengdao and Li Xiaodie were sitting in the Jade Pavilion in Liangbi Garden, with blue waves on the lake beside them, and a talented girl from Xiangzhou playing the flute and playing the harp on the boat to add to the fun.

Yue Yun stood guard at the gate of the garden, and Xiao Yu came to see him in a hurry.

"Your Majesty! All the imperial court regulations are here these days!"

Li Chengdao hummed, took a sip of Dahongpao, and said, "Please pick up the important points and explain them briefly!"

"Building land in Chang'an is getting more and more expensive. On the 8th, the Supervisor ordered to expand the new city around Chang'an and expand Chang'an three times outward. Hundreds of officials in the imperial court resisted, and the treasury's financial resources were limited. They wanted to wait for His Majesty's return to discuss it. The Supervisor ignored the public. minister……"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Chengdao said: "Say what's important!"

This is not important yet! Xiao Yu was embarrassed. Originally, he brought up this matter first because he wanted to attract Li Chengdao's attention. He also didn't like that Wu Meiniang was too authoritarian and made such a big decision as soon as the majesty left.

Hearing that His Majesty didn't like it, he pulled out the next memorial and said: "Di Renjie captured dozens of Feiliu people from the alliance in Tongzhou. This is the memorial from the Jin Yiwei!"

Xiao Yu specifically explained that this was a memorial delivered by Jin Yiwei, because the matter of Jin Yiwei was originally not within his jurisdiction, and he had no right to deliver the memorial in the middle. It was just that Li Chengdao was outside, so everything was kept simple, and he was temporarily replaced. Xiao Yu was mature and made a special explanation. Li Chengdao asked Li Xiaodie, "Who is Fei Liu?"

"Fei Liu is not a human being. He is a branch of the alliance. He is responsible for passing orders between the various groups and communicating with them!"

Li Chengdao nodded. It seemed that Di Renjie had captured the key point of the alliance.

Li Xiaodie added: "Once Feiliu is destroyed, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for the alliance to catch them, and they will become more loose and hidden."

This makes sense. Once they lose contact, they will hide and become more difficult to find.

The good thing is that Di Renjie may be able to find clues on these people.

Xiao Yu opened the third memorial and said: "I heard that His Majesty went to the Duchy Building in person. Various countries have sent envoys or kings to go to the Guangzhou Dudu Mansion in person to share the honor of the establishment of the Duchy and to show their sincerity to Your Majesty!"

Li Chengdao: "Is there a country you haven't visited yet?"

"Yes! Fuso, Byzantium, and the Arab Empire are the major powers!"

Li Chengdao said: "As Feng Li commanded the fleet to approach Arabia from the southwest sea, and Li Jing stationed at the border of Tianzhu from the north, he could fight Arabia first and tell the Anbei Protectorate that there is no need to wait for me to issue an order. He will be outside. Act on your own initiative!”

Xiao Yu said: "There happened to be a memorial from the Governor of Anbei. Li Jing is now stationed in the city of Nyberg in the west of Tianzhu. To the west is the city of Tucson on the Arab border. Li Jing said that there were a large number of Arab troops there with bad intentions. I asked your majesty if he could We cannot take the initiative to attack! Now that His Majesty has said so, I will go back and draw up a decree to let them repel the Arabs!"

Li Chengdao nodded!

Li Xiaodie said: "No!"

Xiao Yu asked curiously: "What does your Majesty mean?"

Li Xiaodie said: "The Arabs sent troops because Tianzhu fell into the hands of His Majesty, and they were afraid of the Tang Dynasty. They originally planned to join forces with Tianzhu, but they didn't expect that Tianzhu was defeated so quickly. If my guess is correct, they did not rush to send troops. The attack is waiting for Byzantium! Does Your Majesty think Li Jing can defeat these two countries now if they join forces?"

In addition to the soldiers and horses left behind in Tianzhu, Li Chengdao and Li Jing only have about 300,000 left. If the two countries join forces, they will have at least more than a million, and the odds of winning are 50-50.

The Art of War says that if there is a 50-50 chance of winning, the battle cannot be fought and cannot be fought. There must be at least an eight-city chance of winning before sending troops.

"What do you mean?"

Li Xiaodie said: "Your Majesty is wise, but you still want to ask this girl of mine. If you really want to ask, Arabs are afraid of the Tang Dynasty, so they send troops to save themselves, and use offense as defense! If we, the Tang Dynasty, take the initiative to make peace with them and never invade that country What will happen?”

Xiao Yu said: "That's what they want!"

Li Xiaodie said: "This is obvious! Now that the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, no fool wants to fight with His Majesty. If we take the initiative to make peace, what will happen to them?"

Li Chengdao smiled and said: "I'm afraid if they push further, they will want their status in the principality!"

"Exactly, we can give it to him, but we also have a condition, which is to let them give us a way, skip them, and go directly to attack Byzantium to the west of them, only attacking one country, so that Li Jing will be under much less pressure!"

Li Chengdao smiled and said, "Is this the springboard tactic you mentioned before?"

Li Butie smiled.

"Wait for Li Jing to capture Byzantium, then return east and invade Arabia, and then Tianzhu will send troops to fight west. I'm afraid that the Arabs will be attacked on both sides, so they won't fight this battle!"
