When Su Yi went to work in the morning, he found that a lot of Winged Knights had left last night. He didn't know where they went.
The ones who left were from the Sixteen Guards. Five thousand of them went to deliver guns to Guo Zhiyun.
As the Minister of War, Su Yi had no right to mobilize the Sixteen Guards and Winged Knights. The Sixteen Guards belonged to kings like Li Chengqi.
Usually, they had the position of general, but it was the general who did the real work.
Su Yi was depressed. He couldn't control the two types of troops guarding Chang 'an, but he could control the troops on the front line.
Li Yi was the one who arranged the troops to be mobilized.
Why? How could he do this? He was being bullied.
"His Majesty didn't say anything about the Winged Knights' departure. It must be something important." Song Jing was concerned about a troop that His Majesty wasn't going to.
"It's related to the battle report sent back last night. We don't know the content of the report," Bi Goo said after a moment of silence.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Greetings came from outside the door. When the three were about to go out to greet him, Li Longji strolled in.
"Everyone is here. Everyone else, leave." Li Longji nodded slightly to the three people who bowed.
Everyone in the hall left, leaving only the four of them.
"Your Majesty, sit down!" Su Yi went to make tea.
Li Longji sat down and tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers. "Zhang Xiaosong intercepted four ships of military supplies sent by the Winged Knights. He led ten thousand cavalrymen and fifty thousand horses. He also took a hot air balloon from Longyou Jiedushi."
Li Longji looked at Su Yi, who was pouring water. Su Yi was the Minister of War.
Su Yi also looked at Li Longji. "He took ten thousand men to deliver horses and robbed military supplies without orders. He should be punished."
Li Longji was speechless.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that the mobilization of the Winged Knights last night has something to do with this?" Song Jing guessed half of it. He did not know why they were mobilized.
"Xiao Yi is delivering something to Zhang Xiaosong? Let Zhang Xiaosong find an opportunity to fight? "Bi Goo guessed.
Li Longji nodded. That was more like it! What punishment?
Su Yi figured it out as well. "His Majesty didn't say anything because he was afraid that the emissary from Tubo would send someone back to report, which would be detrimental to Zhang Xiaosong's plan."
"En!" Li Longji nodded again.
His purpose in coming here was to only tell the three prime ministers. If such a big matter was not known to the prime ministers, the monarch and his ministers would not get along.
"If that's the case, will Su Lu attack Hugestone City again because of the lack of troops?"
Song Jing was most disgusted with generals running around blindly. Who would take care of logistics if they enjoyed fighting? If they lost, how would the imperial court deal with it?
Bi Goo's opinion was different from Song Jing's. "Su Lu has just lost a lot of soldiers and generals. They can't crack a new weapon and have no strength to fight again. The Turks are fighting among themselves, but more of them are seeking peace with the Tang dynasty."
"Yes!" Li Longji looked at the tea beside him. "The Abbasid Caliphate can't charge in alone. The southwest soldiers are eager to fight, so the southwest barbarians don't dare to move."
"The southwest soldiers always go into the mountains and forests to train. Every ten days, they receive a battle report from the local training." Su Yi thought so.
"The southwest soldiers go into the southwest barbarians' territory to hunt, gather herbs, and pick mushrooms. They catch live animals and send them to Chang 'an."
Bi Goo was clear about the situation there. Li Yi had cooperated with the locals.
The locals used the Malaria Interception Pills to exchange for gems, gold, silver, dried fruits, and other things. They mainly traded with the leaders of the southwest barbarians.
The money was divided between the soldiers and their families, and the hunting items were sent to Li Yi.
"How can they do this?" Su Yi was depressed again. "You said it's training, but you're training them to hunt and gather mushrooms?"
Song Jing smiled. "It's training. The soldiers always go into the forest to familiarize themselves with the environment."
Li Longji drank two mouthfuls of tea and left. The three prime ministers were in a good mood.
… …
Boqiao and Isinba were in a bad mood. They didn't know where the Winged Knights went last night.
The Winged Knights were often mobilized. Sometimes they went to Taibai Mountain, sometimes they went to the nearby counties.
However, they knew where the 516 guards went. They brought many things to the battlefield between Tubo and the Tang dynasty.
Jiuqu was conquered by the Tang dynasty. It was said that the Tang dynasty would occupy the entire Yellow River basin this year.
"Can the Japanese's strategy work?" Boqiao was determined to solve a problem for Tubo.
"Who will the Japanese Empire send to pretend to be sick? Li Yi doesn't come out at a fixed time. When he goes out, he lies in front of the car. The Winged Knights will check first. "
Isinba disagreed. If someone suddenly fell in front of the car, would Li Yi rush over to check?
Would the person lying down have a knife on him? Would the person lie down with a knife in his hand, or would the person lie face down and grab the knife with his hand under his body?
The Winged Knights would be turned over, and the person could only stab the Winged Knights with a knife.
Lying down or lying on his stomach, he wouldn't be able to exert any strength.
The assassin would definitely die, but the Winged Knights who were stabbed by the knife might not die.
If the knife stabbed into the stomach, other people would die, but Li Yi's ambulance would immediately save the Winged Knights.
Boqiao pursed his lips for a while. "It's a pity that there's no place to buy firecrackers. If we use a lot of firecrackers, we might be able to kill Li Yi in the car."
Speaking of firecrackers, Boxie had another idea, "Take a few people with you and fill them with oil. Take a bamboo tube and fill it with oil. When you see Li Yi's car, pour oil on it together. Set it on fire and burn Li Yi alive."
"Won't he come out after opening the car door? It's not like the car door can't be opened. "Isinba thought that his colleague was possessed.
"He's like a bastard. He hides in Zhuangzi all day and even comes up with bad ideas. Why hasn't the letter asking for peace arrived yet? Princess Jincheng's plea to Li Longji should work. "
Boqiao realized that burning the car was indeed not a good idea. He poured oil on the car, lit the car, opened the door, and jumped out.
In fact, he and Isinba didn't know that Li Yi was in the car and couldn't burn him.
The car was layered, and even a strong crossbow couldn't penetrate it.
Li Yi cherished his life. How could he leave a loophole for others?
Princess Jincheng, whom Boqiao mentioned, was writing a letter. Her husband was reading it.
Princess Jincheng was writing a letter as a cousin, while Chidai was writing a letter as a nephew to the Tang dynasty. She called the Tang dynasty uncle.
Princess Jincheng had a high status in Tubo. The more powerful the Tang dynasty was, the higher her status was. No one dared to bully her.
If she was angered to death or killed by others, it would depend on the military strength of the Tang dynasty.
Now that the Land of Nine Bends was occupied, Tubo people wanted her dowry back.
She tactfully expressed that she wanted to have that land again. Chidai nodded from time to time.
"Da Lun said that it's best to let Li Yi come. We're willing to give Li Yi a concession." Chidai asked.
Dali Lun was the Prime Minister.
Princess Jincheng stopped writing and looked at Chidai. "Li Yi won't come. Imperial Brother can't send him out. Boqiao sent a letter saying that the imperial court regards him as Foreign Minister. "
Princess Jincheng understood that Tubo people wanted to lure Li Yi here and get rid of him.
She wouldn't write such a letter. She believed that the officials of the Tang dynasty wouldn't allow it. The plan was too obvious.
"No other meaning." Chidai hurriedly explained. He liked this wife very much.
Princess Jincheng was educated and reasonable. She had lived in the palace since childhood. Other Tubo women couldn't show her temperament.
Tubo people looked down on women, but Princess Jincheng's status was still unshakable.
She was Zangpu's woman and the princess of the Tang dynasty.
