The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 90 The Second Step of Interlocking
"The news of Chi Ying's return. Li Xiaochang has already made a move. And he successfully robbed us of the first batch of Gubei flowers that we brought back." Xuan Hua said to Li Tai.

"It seems that everything is going very smoothly. Since this is the case, let's start the second step. Immediately order Chi Ying to follow the second step plan." Li Tai said to Xuanhua after hearing this.

With carrier pigeons to deliver messages, this saved Li Tai a lot of time.Although it cannot be as fast as the digital telephone in later generations.But compared to that time, it was already very fast.

So within a few days, Chi Ying received Li Tai's order.Then he came again, Li Xiaochang's mansion.The arrival of the stabbing shadow received warm hospitality from Li Xiaochang.

"Where did you go the past few days, the king wanted to host a banquet for you a few days ago, but unfortunately you couldn't find him." Li Xiaochang laughed and said to Chi Ying.

"My lord, I went to the place where the ancient bei flowers are produced. I found that the king of Wei, Li Tai, is crazy now. He actually offered a price of [-] Wen per load of flowers. It seems that he is really eager to get these ancient bei flowers. " Chi Ying said to Li Xiaochang.

"With this king standing in our way, even if he buys thousands of ancient beihua flowers, this king can guarantee that he won't be able to bring back even a single bit of it." Li Xiaochang said with a big laugh.

"The news that the lord has intercepted the ancient beihua that was transported back two times before has probably reached Li Tai's ears. This time he will definitely find another way. Send the ancient beihua back to Chang'an." Chi Ying said to Li Xiaochang Said.

"My king's place is the only way to go back to Chang'an. Could it be that he will detour for hundreds of miles and avoid this place?" Li Xiaochang said with an expression of indifference.

"It's impossible to go around for hundreds of miles, so even if he succeeded, he transported the ancient beihua back to Chang'an. It's probably too late. Besides, who can guarantee that it's safe to go around for hundreds of miles?" " Chi Ying said after shaking his head.

"Since he can only pass by this king, what can he think of. Could it be that his ancient shell flowers are disguised as other items?" Li Xiaochang said after thinking about it.

"The prince's words are very true, and he is very likely to do so. Not only that, they will even use the banner of five surnames and seven sects to transport the ancient beihua to Chang'an. After all, it is only his Wei Wang Li Tai now. When it came to robbery, the prince didn't do anything to those with five surnames and seven sects." Chi Ying said to Li Xiaochang.

Li Xiaochang did not indeed, he started with the ancient beihua brought back by the five surnames and seven sects.So he would naturally think that the ancient beihua with five surnames and seven sects had been transported back safely.

But how did he know that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.The caravans of five surnames and seven sects that were released by him were ransacked by others after they left his territory.And the person who robbed the caravan of five surnames and seven sects was officially the leader of the Armor Breaking Army, Luo Huan.

"Sir, in this way, how can I distinguish between the caravan of five surnames and seven sects, and which belongs to Li Tai, king of Wei." Li Xiaochang scratched his head and said.

Because at this time Li Xiaochang did not dare to offend the five surnames and seven sects.Because he wanted to move Li Shimin down and replace him himself.That would be inseparable from the support of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects, so he would not dare to move the caravan of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects no matter what.

"My master has already notified several other companies that all caravans with five surnames and seven sects will have a special mark on the caravan's banner. As long as there is no caravan with this mark, it must belong to Wei Wang Li Tai. " Chi Ying whispered to Li Xiaochang.

"This method is good, sir is really talented." Li Xiaochang said to Chi Ying with a big smile.And he kept persuading Chi Ying to drink.

After drinking a few cups, Chi Ying said: "In order to confuse Wei Wang Li Tai, the five surnames and seven sects will put pressure on the court at the same time. They say that their goods have been robbed and let the court deal with it. At that time, my master will recommend you to send troops to suppress the rebellion. .”

"Then there will be King Lao Yushi. In this way, I can ask him for a sum of military expenses from Li Shimin." Li Xiaochang said with a big smile.

After Chiying arranged everything, Zou Fengchi arranged for a caravan to transport ancient bei flowers to Chang'an.People with five surnames and seven sects saw that 33 Chongtian transported Gu Beihua back.They also began to purchase ancient bei flowers, and began to transport them to Datang in a caravan.

Because Li Xiaochang regarded Li Tai's caravan as one of five surnames and seven clans, he naturally gave the green light.And Luo Huan naturally wouldn't rob his family's caravan.So Li Tai's caravan naturally returned to Chang'an City.But the tricks in it, the five surnames and seven sects don't know.

After the last price turmoil, those merchants who have hoarded a large number of Gubei flowers.I didn't dare to drive up prices anymore, so the work of purchasing Gubeihua went very smoothly.

But the caravans of five surnames and seven sects were all robbed without exception.This inevitably made the five surnames and seven sects extremely annoyed.But when they heard that Li Tai's caravan was also robbed.The original angry mood has improved a lot.

The robbery this time was the opposite of what happened in the past, the people who were robbed by Li Xiaochang were all caravans with five surnames and seven sects.And Li Tai's caravan was directly detained by Luo Huan.

At the Golden Luan Hall, representatives of the five surnames and seven sects spoke out one after another, asking Li Shimin to send troops to wipe out the thieves.To ensure the smooth flow of the caravan.And Li Shimin naturally agreed.

"Dear dear friends, I don't know who can take on the task of exterminating thieves." Li Shimin asked after hearing what everyone said.

And Wang Yushi had already received the letter from the person pretending to be Li Xiaochang.He spoke directly to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, the robbery took place in the area of ​​Bashu, which is very close to Lizhou. Therefore, I feel that Li Xiaochang, the governor of Lizhou, the king of Yi'an, is the most suitable to complete this matter."

"Aiqing is right. It would be best to leave this matter to King Yi'an." After hearing Wang Yushi's words, Li Shimin nodded and said.

At this time, someone suddenly came to report.It is said that Wei Wang Li Tai is waiting for the order outside the palace.He said that he had something important to report to the emperor.Hearing that Li Tai was coming, Li Shimin naturally ordered someone to send Li Tai to see him.

After Li Tai walked into the Golden Luan Hall, he gave Li Shimin a royal gift.Then he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, banditry has been rampant in the area of ​​Bashu recently. My ministers have asked Father for an order, and some of my ministers will lead the army to attack those bandits."

"King Wei, I have already decided to hand over this matter to King Yi'an. So you don't have to worry about it. It won't be long before those bandits and bandits will be wiped out by King Yi'an." Li Shimin said to Li said Ty.

"Father, my son's Imperial Guard of the King of Wei has been training for nearly two years and has never been on the battlefield. My son hopes that my father can give me this opportunity." Li Litai said again.

"King Wei, the governor of Lizhou, Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an, is very close to the place where bandits are infested. With him, he can save a lot of marching distance, and at the same time reduce the cost of this bandit suppression. Therefore, the governor of Lizhou, King Yi'an Li Xiaochang is the most suitable candidate for this bandit suppression." Wang Yushi said to Li Tai with an extremely smug expression.
