Great Tang Broom Star

The sound of drums still echoed in Chang'an City, and Jia Pingan rode his horse slowly on the broad Zhuque Street.

There are not many vehicles, horses and pedestrians on the street at the moment. As for the sides, there are all dark square walls, and then there is a wide drainage ditch, and there is nothing else.

Suzaku Street is paved with loess, which is very hard, but when a strong wind blows...it is almost like a sandstorm.

"Cough cough cough!"

Jia Pingan was blown with loess on his face, and hurriedly turned his face to avoid it.

"Jia Wenshu?"

Jia Pingan opened his eyes, and Bao Dong chased him up from behind.

"Jia Wenshu, eat cake." Bao Dong opened the oil-paper bag and warmly invited Master Jia to have breakfast.

"Someone has eaten."

The food touched by Bao Dong's hands is magical, and both Tang Xu and Shao Peng like it very much.

"The captain probably wants to get one." Bao Dong took the oiled paper bag away, "Jia Wenshu, how did you convince the princess yesterday?"

"It's something like that. In fact, all you have to do is to be considerate." Of course, Jia Ping'an would not say that his tough guy personality played a decisive role.

Bao Dong sniffled, "It's just understanding? I'm afraid the princess will treat you differently, right? Otherwise, why would I invite you to watch singing and dancing and drink?"

"Nothing." Gao Yang figured it out yesterday, he felt that he was a fool Sabi in the past, once he was freed, he had to find someone to celebrate.

"Jia Wenshu."

Yiqi came towards him, holding a food box in his hand, "The princess said that she regretted letting you drink alcohol yesterday, and was worried that you would feel unwell after drinking, so she asked someone to bring you some wine soup."

You lied to me! Bao Dong: "..."

I really didn't know she would do this! Jia Pingan: "..."

When they arrived at Baiqi, Bao Dong left a piece of cake for Tang Xu.

"Xiao Jia, you did a great job yesterday!" Tang Xu gave Jia Pingan a thumbs up while eating the cake.

"Hehe." Jia Pingan said humbly, "It's all the captain who teaches well."

Tang Xu hiccupped, pulled out his long sword, and said, "I heard that you killed three people, but your sword skills are not very good. My hundred riders must be top-notch in killing people. Come on, I will teach you today." Sixty-six thirty-six Tang's sword techniques, after practice, taking the head of an enemy general among ten thousand troops is like picking something out of a bag."

Well……

Jia Ping'an drew his sword and looked up at the sky.

Take a look upstairs...

"The key point of the knife technique is to block and chop. There is no third way to go. What about stabbing, whoever asks you to stab with a long knife, you stab him to death first. Watch."

Tang Xu started, surrounded by a circle of people.

"It's probably because the waist is exerting strength." Bao Dong explained to Jia Pingan from the side.

Jia Pingan nodded.

It is unreliable to use the arms to slash and kill, but to use the waist and abdomen to drive the arms, this is the kingly way.

With the flash of the knife, Jia Ping'an learned a lot.

"Come on, give it a try." Tang Xu received his power, and it seemed that he had made great progress, and he was getting closer to the foundation building period.

"Just try it." Jia Pingan pulled out the imperial sword, and there was a sound of swallowing saliva around him.

Swing a knife, block...

Jia Pingan was a little rusty at first, but gradually let go.

Tang Xu nodded, "It's interesting, but it's far worse than what it was back then.

You have to practice hard for several years. "

"How many years have you practiced?" A sinister voice came from behind.

Tang Xu said, "Five years."

Swearing does not reveal shortcomings ah! What the hell am I!

Tang Xu turned around, and Shao Peng laughed behind him.

"Xiao Jia will be fine after two years of training, but you will have to practice for five years. This talent..."

Humiliated again!

Tang Xu snorted coldly, "Shall we try?"

Shaopeng came over and stood side by side with him, "You may not be our opponent."

Tang Xu glanced at him, Shao Peng's expression was calm, and he even had the air of a master.

Although the dog waiter didn't see him make a move, Tang Xu felt that he was not sure.

"Let's go." Master Jia's sword skills were too ecstatic, and everyone felt bored, so they dispersed.

Jia Pingan fantasized that he was a peerless master. With one swing of the knife, sand and rocks flew away. The onlookers clapped and applauded.

But after the practice was over, he found that everyone had left.

I hurt my self-esteem!

He went back to the duty room to wipe his sweat, and was just about to take a rest when someone came outside.

"Officer Shao is looking for you."

Jia Pingan tidied up his clothes and went to Shao Peng's place.

The dog servant was sitting there, his black hair unruly, his eyes slightly narrowed, his skin fair, and he smiled...

Why does it look a bit like the star surnamed Chen in later generations?

This is the posture of a formal conversation. Jia Pingan sat down with a respectful expression on his face.

Shao Peng said indifferently: "Lu Dongzan bowed his head. The meaning of the court is... Datang is mainly focusing on the Turkic people at present, so he is going to take revenge in the reply."

Don't doubt Datang's confidence, even if it is a relative of Tubo, he will not give face if he should.

Seeing that Jia Ping'an was still calm, Shaopeng couldn't help praising: "It's your contribution here, and we are honored."

"Shao Zhongguan, someone thinks this matter is worth discussing."

"Tell me." Shao Peng felt thirsty.

Jia Pingan thought about the development of the situation in the future, and knew that Datang had despised Tubo after all, and finally suffered a lot in terms of strategy and tactics.

"Someone is thinking, why is Tubo so aggressive?" Jia Pingan talked eloquently: "Someone thinks that Tubo is coveting Tang Dynasty, and they are waiting for the opportunity. If the time is right, no matter whether it is Zanpu or anyone else, they will lead the army without hesitation." Fight with Datang."

Huh!

Shao Peng frowned, "The court is quite optimistic about the relationship between Datang and Tubo, and believes that there will be no major problems in twenty years."

This view is currently the mainstream, and the reason is very simple. After Hou Junji led the army to beat the Tubo people with black noses and swollen faces, everyone in Tubo was stunned to find that adventurism had no future.

what is it now?

Ask a princess to come, let's bow our heads and be son-in-law.

In the years that followed, the relationship between Datang and Tubo was good, but why was it good?

Because Emperor Taizong is here!

As long as the emperor with great military exploits is around, no one dares to come to Datang to ask for wild fire.

After Li Zhi, the little brother, came to the throne, Zanpu's brother-in-law used letters to beat the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, which seemed to be presumptuous, but in fact it was a test.

I'm domineering, little brother, do you dare to growl at me?

Without the night attack in the northwest, this diplomatic operation would have been perfect.

But it still failed.

Shaopeng got up, feeling that Baiqi had also won the lottery this time, which was considered a consummation of merit.

"Shao Zhongguan." Jia Pingan looked up, "Someone has an idea."

"Tell me." Shaopeng walked over, sat down, and started to cook tea.

The smog was misty, and Jia Ping'an felt that his eyes were hurting.

"Who got the pine cones here? It's not even dry, cough cough cough!" Shao Peng failed to ignite the fire several times and got angry.

You don't know how to light a fire, do you? Pretending to be an old driver. Jia Pingan felt that it would be better for Bao Donglai to do this.

"That's all!" Shaopeng left the matter of making tea, "Say it."

"I feel that Datang has suffered a disadvantage in this matter."

"Huh?" Shao Peng's eyes became more stern, "Did Tang suffer?"

"Yes, think about it, Zanpu molested the emperor and ministers of the Tang Dynasty in a few letters, and they drove the Tuyuhun rebels to threaten the mission. These are living examples!"

Shaopeng narrowed his eyes, "But Chaozhong said that this matter should be dropped."

"That's because they didn't find a better way to retaliate."

As long as there is a good way to retaliate, the group of prime ministers will immediately raise their hands without hesitation.

This is the style of Datang at the moment, it is a mess of toughness.

Shaopeng: "What can you do?"

...

Later, Shao Peng hurriedly went to see the emperor.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhi was very busy. He had just finished talking with a governor and was digesting what he said.

"Your Majesty, some people say that Tubo has ambitions for the Tang Dynasty, so we must guard against it."

Um?

Li Zhi raised his head, and there was something else in his tired eyes, "What did he say?"

"He said that Tang's diplomacy with Tubo was too conservative. Although Tubo is condescending and difficult to attack, it is necessary to teach lessons, otherwise it will arouse the ambitions of Tubo people."

Li Zhi rubbed his brows, "Tubo made a plan this time, the purpose is to test me, to test whether the court is eccentric. If the court is eccentric, this is an opportunity. But I didn't give him a chance, and the princes also He wasn't given a chance."

On this big issue of right and wrong, the prime ministers also unified their positions, and Zamp immediately became a clown. But if you want to talk about revenge, you can't talk about sending troops for such things, so what else?

So Li Zhi was a little curious about that man's opinion, "What else did he say?"

Shao Peng said: "Your Majesty, he said... Zanpu's son died young, and only his young grandson... If Zanpu dies, the Tubo Lord Shaoguo doubts, and Lu Dongzan will become a powerful minister..."

A figure appeared in Li Zhi's mind, but it was his uncle Changsun Wuji.

"Kezanpu is only in his thirties, and he is in his prime."

"Your Majesty." Shao Peng lowered his head, "Even if Zanpu survives, Kelu Dongzan's power is too great."

"So what?" Li Zhi was a little impatient.

Shao Peng said: "Your Majesty, you can let people spread rumors, saying that Lu Dongzan is ambitious and wants to murder Zanpu and usurp the throne. He came to Datang just to bow his head to seek Datang's support, and then..."

hiss!

This is purely fabricated out of thin air, imagined out of thin air, fabricated out of thin air...

But very vicious!

Li Zhi knew the emperor's mind very well.

Whenever a courtier appears to be a powerful minister, the emperor's heart is like a thorn planted...

Spreading rumors, planting a thorn in the heart of that cheap brother-in-law, wonderful!

"Lu Dongzan is Zanpu's right-hand man, and he can be called the number one person under him. Whether it is people's livelihood or political affairs, Zanpu can't do without him. If it can make their monarchs and ministers suspicious, it will be wonderful!

Furthermore, if I were extra cordial when I met him... this rumor would be even more powerful. "

"No one in civil and military affairs in the whole dynasty thought of such a clever plan. It can be seen that this man is a great talent, which makes me very happy." Li Zhi asked, "Whose idea?"

Shao Peng said, "Jia Ping'an."

Li Zhi's lips moved a few times, and Shao Peng saw it seriously, clearly wanting to say three words.

Very coquettish!

The chancellors were called later.

"Lu Dongzan is ready to see you. Before that, I would like to ask you, did Tang suffer a loss this time?"

In an instant, there was more evil spirit in the eyes of the prime ministers.

Changsun Wuji said murderously: "Your Majesty, since the defeat of the Turks, how has the Tang Dynasty suffered from such uselessness? If Tubo was not at a high place, the Tang Dynasty should have sent troops to attack, captured Zanpu and came to Chang'an to dance for Your Majesty!" "

Even Chu Suiliang had to be furious, "You should reprimand Zanpu, no, if you can, the old minister thinks that you should send out the army to show Tubo a little color."

This is to create border friction.

This is Datang's overbearing.

But Li Zhi felt a little unsatisfactory.

Shouting and killing at every turn is certainly a relief, but what is the means?

"The Great Tang can not only attack, but also has a lot of means."

The prime ministers were stunned. In one victory after another, they had long been used to solving problems with knives and guns. If you want to talk about diplomacy, then look at Wang Xuance. The mission was intercepted, but he didn't beep, and turned around and led the mercenaries to sweep Tianzhu.

This is Datang's main way to solve the problem at the moment, the blood is bursting!

They're all a bunch of tough courtiers, no good, they're too angry! Li Zhi said with a smile: "Someone suggested that people go to Tubo to spread rumors, saying that Ludong praised the wolf's ambition, came to Chang'an to bow his head to me, wanted to seek the support of Tang Dynasty, and secretly conspired with others to poison Zanpu. Zanpu's son had already passed away..."

Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up, "Zanpu has to beware of the court situation once his family is gone. Nalu Dongzan is now under one man and above ten thousand. If something happens to Zanpu, what will happen to the young successor?" His opponent? So Zanpu has to be suspicious of Ludongzan... This plan is great, Your Majesty is wise!"

Yu Zhining clapped his palms and smiled, "When your majesty sees you, your majesty will be so kind to Lu Dong. This rumor seems to be true. Wonderful!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All the ministers bowed their heads, feeling that the emperor had really improved a lot, but this idea was a bit coquettish.

Li Zhi smiled and said: "This is not my idea."

Changsun Wuji was overjoyed when he heard it, "This kind of talented person should be reused, and please tell the old minister who this person is."

Li Zhi pondered for a while, "Jia Pingan."
