"… This old man went hunting in the mountains this morning and was lucky enough to encounter a few wild geese returning to the south. Just as I was about to draw my bow and shoot down one of them, I unexpectedly missed. Who would have thought that a white pigeon would fly in from the southeast direction? My arrow hit the carrier pigeon without missing a beat!
This old man thought that it was just an ordinary pigeon, but to his surprise, the pigeon had a letter tied to its leg. When I opened it, I saw that the letter was written in Turkic script. In the past, Laofu followed General Qin and fought with the Turks on the grassland many times, so I can be considered to know some of the characters there.
"The Great Tang's King of Wei is leading the teachers and students of Yanhuang College to build a telegraph relay station in Taiyuan. Once this station is completed, the Tang Army will be able to communicate with each other anywhere on the steppe and send news back to Chang 'an in an instant. This will pose an enormous threat to our Turks. This subject earnestly requests that the Great Khan dispatch ten thousand wolf cavalry to quietly infiltrate the Great Tang and surround Taiyuan City. This subject is confident that we can capture Taiyuan City in half a day. At that time, we can capture the Great Tang's King of Wei and the teachers and students of Yanhuang College and have them work for our Turks!
After this old man read this letter, he felt that this matter was of great importance and rode to Taiyuan City to report to Your Highness. To his surprise, Taiyuan City was already under martial law, making it difficult for this old man to enter without revealing his identity. I could only have the city guards bring this old man into the city. I didn't think that I would run into Your Highness the moment I entered the city! "
Taiyuan Courier Station, in a quiet room, Li Tai, Dugu Xin, Dugu Feiying, Iron Egg, Ink Chui, and Han Tianhu were seated. Once everyone was seated, Han Tianhu got straight to the point, explaining his purpose in coming to Taiyuan City.
Everyone couldn't help but grimace. It was clear that they had all realized the gravity of the situation.
Dugu Xin was the first to speak. "Lord Han, might I ask where this secret letter is?"
Although they had all learned of Han Tianhu's identity from Li Tai's introduction and knew that with Han Tianhu's identity, it was impossible for him to lie about something like this. However, it was precisely because of how important this matter was that they needed to see for themselves.
Han Tianhu reached into his inner pocket and took out a small piece of paper. He then stood up and handed it to Li Tai. "This is the secret letter from the carrier pigeon. Please take a look!"
Li Tai received it with both hands. He opened it and saw a few lines of small characters. However, he did not understand the Turkic language, so he could not tell what it was. Thus, he turned to Dugu Xin and asked, "Does General Dugu know the Turkic language?"
As the commander of the Imperial Army, Dugu Xin had to maintain the safety of the palace. He had to deal with foreign spies on a daily basis, so he naturally understood the Turkic language. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "This general understands a little!"
Li Tai handed the piece of paper over to Dugu Xin. "General Dugu, please take a look!"
"Here!"
Dugu Xin did not waste any time on pleasantries. He took the paper and began to carefully read it. Everyone looked over, and after a while, Dugu Xin put away the paper, raised his head, and solemnly cupped his fists to Li Tai.
"Your Highness, the contents of this letter are exactly the same as what Lord Han said!"
