The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 156 Everything is under control

Chapter 156 Everything is under control

Hearing Li Yuan change the subject, Pei Ji immediately bent his body lower and listened carefully to what Li Yuan had to say.

Li Yuan even pretended to be thinking and asked in a long voice: "But~~ this Turkic will definitely lose its vitality after this battle! How could it be possible to send troops again!?"

"What's more, I heard that all the refugees from the Tang Dynasty gathered in Liangzhou, and even the beggars and rascals on the street were sent to Liangzhou!"

"Liangzhou is so chaotic, if Bai Jingyi sends troops to conquer the Turks, where will he get food and grass!?"

Listening to Li Yuan's analysis, Pei Ji fell into a thoughtful look, waiting for Li Yuan to finish speaking.

Sure enough, after Li Yuan glanced at Pei Ji, he said lightly: "In my opinion, the Turks will not send troops to cultivate their health and rest, and Bai Jing will not send troops because he has insufficient clothing and food!"

"Pei Aiqing thinks what I said is right!?"

Pei Ji immediately bowed to Li Yuan and said, "What the Supreme Emperor said is absolutely true! From this point of view, neither side will easily send troops!"

"But I feel that since both sides are unwilling to send troops, then break the tacit understanding between the two sides and force one of them to send troops as a last resort!"

After Li Yuan heard this, he immediately regained his spirits. He was a little disappointed at first, thinking that he would have to wait for a long time before the two sides would start a war, and he would have a chance
Although he was excited, Li Yuan still asked calmly: "What good strategy does Pei Aiqing have!?"

Pei Ji smiled faintly and said: "Return to the Holy Majesty's words! I think that the East and West Turkic Khans have all died in Liangzhou! The East and West Turks will inevitably have civil strife! They may even kill each other!"

"And after this battle, the Turks will no longer be divided into east and west, and it is very likely that they will move toward unification during this period of time!"

Hearing Pei Ji's analysis, Li Yuan found it very reasonable, and said with emotion: "If I were on the throne, I would definitely send troops to the Turks and take the entire Turks into my pocket!"

"Oh, what a pity!"

Pei Ji hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I would like to report to the Holy Majesty, isn't this a good opportunity!?"

Li Yuan immediately turned his head and asked, "Pei Aiqing, what do you say!?"

Pei Ji smiled lightly and said: "Return to the words of the Holy One! Turkic civil strife must be chaotic, fighting without direction!"

"If the Supreme Emperor can send people to sneak into the Turkic Grassland and lead their internal struggle to Liangzhou, then Bai Jingyi will have to fight!"

"And these Turkic people have always been arrogant. If you tell them that it was Bai Jingyi, a 16-year-old boy, who killed the Turkic Khan, then these Turkic people must be bloody and want to kill Bai Jingyi for revenge!"

After listening to Li Yuan, he nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time, his murderous intent towards Pei Ji was even stronger, and he thought in his heart: "Pei Ji, Pei Ji, I really see your ability, but it's a pity that you know too much Already!"

Looking at Li Yuan's smile, Pei Ji always felt very flustered in his heart, and at the same time, cold sweat broke out on his back, but he thought in his heart: "Maybe this is the dragon's might that the Holy Majesty brings, which makes me feel afraid!"

Immediately, Li Yuan took off his jade pendant and said, "This matter is of great importance, and I can only trust you now!"

Excitedly, Pei Ji knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands to Li Yuan and said, "The old minister must live up to the entrustment of the Holy Majesty! Do your best to do this well!"

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Take my jade pendant to find Shen Guogong Gao Shilian, and summon him to my Taiji Palace. He will naturally send people to help you!"

Pei Ji stretched out his hands, held the jade pendant that Li Yuan handed over respectfully, and said, "Don't worry, my lord! I will definitely do my best!"

Li Yuan stood up, looked down at Pei Ji who was kneeling on the ground and said, "I don't want a fourth person to know about this!"

"Wei Chen understands!"

After finishing speaking, Pei Ji stood up and bowed to Li Yuan and said, "Resign, my minister!"

Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji's leaving back, shook his head and sighed, "Oh, what a pity!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, Gao Shilian's carriage appeared in the palace, and this immediately attracted Li Er's attention.

Li Er even went to Taiji Palace to check the situation in person, after all, it was impossible for spies to find out specific information.

But Li Yuan said to Li Er very naturally: "I live in this deep palace all day, and it is inevitable that I feel lonely. Today, I specially invite old friends to catch up on the old days!"

Li Er knew that this matter must be extraordinary, so he said to the old eunuch beside him, "Preach my order! Order the imperial dining room to prepare the food and drinks!"

After finishing the order, Li Ercai bowed to Li Yuan and said, "My son, leave!"

Li Yuan endured the anger in his heart from the beginning to the end, and didn't even look at Li Er. After all, the servants Li Er sent were here to monitor Li Yuan.

Moreover, when Li Er left, he deliberately sent extra people to protect the Taiji Palace. Although he said that he wanted to protect Li Yuan's safety, the father and son knew exactly what it was for.

Li Yuan and Shen Guogong Gao Shilian drank until late at night, and what the servants reported to Li Er when they came back was nothing more than what Li Yuan and Gao Shilian talked about.

Li Er didn't bother to listen at all, but his eyes were always on the Taiji Palace, but he didn't know that Li Yuan and Gao Shilian talked all night just to cover for Pei Ji.

At sunset, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, and Changsun Wuji led a huge team of envoys, and left Chang'an City mightily, flying the royal battle flag.

Not long after they left, a group of soldiers rushed out of Chang'an City on horseback, and they dispersed immediately after leaving the city, each of them going in a different direction.

These people were the generals who Li Yuan arranged to gather some soldiers to go to the Turkic Grassland.

After they dispersed, they went straight to their respective hometowns, and directly led the old troops to sneak into the Turkic grasslands to carry out the will of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

When Li Yuan and Gao Shilian were drinking until late at night, Gao Shilian waved goodbye to Li Yuan in a daze, and Li Yuan watched Gao Shilian leave with eyes full of luster.

Li Er watched Gao Shilian's carriage leave the palace, and thought in his heart: "Maybe Father really wants to catch up on the past!"

Immediately, Li Er shook his head, and went straight back to the East Palace to continue reviewing the hill-like memorials.

In fact, he didn't know at all that Li Yuan had already arranged all this secretly.

However, Bai Jingyi may not be ignorant of what Li Er doesn't know. The shadow guard hidden in Chang'an City reported to Bai Jingyi through the system: "Leader General, my subordinates heard that Pei Ji and Li Yuan were in the palace. Dialogue between!"

Listening to the report from Shadow Guard [-], the corners of Bai Jingyi's mouth rose slightly, and at the same time, he thought in his heart: "Oh! No wonder there is no settlement button for the ultimate novice mission in the system!"

"It seems that the system has already anticipated this matter, and it seems that I can earn a lot of God of War points!"

Bai Jingyi said indifferently: "Continue to monitor!"

After finishing the order, Bai Jingyi lay directly beside Li Anran, and fell asleep peacefully.
