On the other hand, a group of soldiers from the border city of the Tang Dynasty gathered here and began to conduct strategic research.
When the scout troops sent by the Tang Dynasty went to investigate and discover their Tibetan people, they found that their Tibetan personnel were being mobilized more frequently than in the past.
After the captured prisoners were tortured and interrogated, one thing was discovered.
That means the follow-up reinforcements from Tibet are coming.
It is said that the arrival of the reinforcements here means that they will launch a full-scale attack on Datang.
After hearing this news, the faces of the soldiers at the border of Datang became very serious.
The Turks are going to start a war with us, the Tang Dynasty. They have been preparing for such a long time, and it looks like the battle is about to begin.
His Majesty has already passed on the order a few days ago.
After both sides launch a war, their frontline soldiers have full authority to handle the situation.
Give them room to make their own decisions and express themselves freely.
Of course, the letter also specifically emphasized that this battle was to test the strength of Tibet.
If they can win the war, they are allowed to attack Tubo and go straight to Huanglong.
At that time, they only need to send soldiers to Chang'an to convey the news, and they will arrange early support for another 100,000 troops.
With what His Majesty said, the soldiers stationed here can be said to be full of confidence.
In response to this battle with Tibet, everyone said that the Tang Dynasty would definitely be able to win its own victory.
Beat these Tubo people till their asses are wet and drive them all back, allowing me, the Tang Dynasty, to win the final victory.
At the same time, you can also go out of the border, and just like the previous campaign against the Turks in the north, you can directly suppress the Tibetans and make them surrender.
At the same time, their Tibetan leader was also captured alive and presented to His Majesty in Chang'an City.
Let the Tubo people be so arrogant?
Thinking of this, everyone burst out laughing. Then they sent an urgent letter of 800 miles and rushed to Chang'an City to report the matter to His Majesty!
Youzhou.
"Your Excellency, there are several merchants asking to see you, saying that they are here to exchange documents for going to Chang'an City!"
"What do you mean by going to exchange documents from Chang'an City? Let them come in!"
"It's my lord!"
When the businessmen walked into the government office with smiles on their faces, they quickly bowed to the local official!
"I've met your lord!"
"Tell me, what are you guys doing here looking for me?"
"Your Majesty, that's what it is. We are thinking of arranging the food and asking you to sign and seal it in exchange for a document.
Let’s take this document and use it to do business in Chang’an City!”
The official frowned when he heard this. What were they talking about?
What paperwork, what business, it's all a mess.
Are these businessmen trying to come over to cause trouble with me?
Do you feel that you have nothing to do and think that I am here chatting here every day?
Listen to them talk about these unfounded things?
After the county magistrate said these words, the face of the businessman who came suddenly turned ugly.
Didn’t Shopkeeper Li say that?
There is someone behind him, and this matter has been arranged properly.
After they returned to Chang'an City this time, they prepared food and planned to exchange it for drinks in Chang'an City.
In fact, according to usual habits, they can also escort money or food with them.
But now Shopkeeper Li has given them a simpler method. Has this matter not been reported yet? Or is there something special happening?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We made a mistake. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he took out some silver from his clothes as an apology.
Although they told me some unfounded things, for the sake of the money they held, they were temporarily forgiven.
"Sir, I won't bother you here anymore."
As he spoke, everyone stood up and left, feeling very helpless.
Then Shopkeeper Li shouldn’t have lied to them, right?
Alas, of course, even if shopkeeper Li deceived them, everyone would just break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, admitting they were unlucky.
Just as they were walking forward, several mounted guards jumped off their horses in a hurry, quickly entered the government office, and conveyed the order.
If a businessman came to their local government and said that he wanted to exchange grain with them for a document of grain money, he would go to Chang'an City to do business.
The local government arranged for people to look at the food and money, and issued a document to them, asking them to come to the state capital. The state government would then issue a document. They took this document and went to Chang'an City to do business.
In fact, after Li Er talked to this group of people at that time, he just asked them to go to the state capitals in various places to handle the matter.
But although these people are rich, their status is low.
According to the method described by shopkeeper Li, I just went to the local county government, but was kicked out by the local county government.
He had no choice but to arrange for the food to be transported directly to Zhaojiazhuang, where he went to find shopkeeper Li and told the story.
When he, Li Er, heard about this, his bad temper came out directly.
This is really unreasonable. I had already issued the order at that time. Could it be that the state capital dared to cause trouble with me?
After asking like this, I realized that they did not go to any state capital.
Because of their status, they cannot go directly to the state capitals. They can only go to the local county government.
The local county government did not know about this and thought they were joking. Seeing this scene, Li Er slapped his forehead hard.
But it is true that a wise man will always make mistakes.
Immediately afterwards, people were sent to the various local state capitals to issue the order, requiring them to distribute the news to the next level.
If there are businessmen with food or money, they will have to issue documents to the local county government.
At that time, they took the documents and came to Chang'an City to do business. When they heard the news from the state capital, the county magistrate was startled.
Someone came to ask about it on the front foot, and he kicked them out. Then the news came on the back foot?
Oh my God, I just felt like my head was exploding. I immediately arranged for people to invite all these businessmen in again!
"Everyone, I have misunderstood, how much food and how much money do you need to arrange?
Just tell me directly and I will give you the opening documents."
As he spoke, he took out the previous money and handed it over.
I really didn't expect that this group of businessmen could mobilize the state capital and go to Chang'an City to do business.
What kind of business do these people want to do?
Seeing the county magistrate's behavior, everyone was at a loss.
By the way, has the county magistrate changed his gender? Why did he suddenly do this? Or is there a new conspiracy?
The county magistrate smiled slightly and told what had just happened.
This group of people must know these things, so it doesn't hurt to tell them.
Hearing this, all the businessmen understood instantly and exclaimed in their hearts that Shopkeeper Li was really capable.
After signing and depositing the money and grain, everyone handed over the silver coins they had with them, treating them as the county magistrate's hard-earned money.
The two of them argued for a long time, and finally reluctantly took the money in, still smiling!
"Everyone, if anything happens then, you can come directly to the government office to see me.
I will give you all the authority to make the arrangements."
The smiles on the local officials' faces frightened the businessmen into confusion, and they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
By the way, I would like to say that the magistrate is very kind to me.
After signing these documents, the group of businessmen left here, preparing to go to the state capital, sign and seal them again, and then go to Chang'an City to do business.
On the way to the state capital, everyone sighed. Now it seems that shopkeeper Li is really not an ordinary person.
These things that seemed extraordinary in the eyes of everyone were actually handled casually by Shopkeeper Li.
So after handling these matters properly this time, when they go to Chang'an City again, Gao Luo will have a good chat with Shopkeeper Li about life.
The main reason is that Shopkeeper Li’s ability is so powerful in everyone’s eyes!
"Let's go quickly. After arranging these documents, we can go to Chang'an City to make money early."
"Yes, yes."
As he spoke, the group of people hurried towards the state capital.
As the merchants were on their way to the state capital, the county magistrate of the local government also arranged for his men to leave the place.
Arrange the money and food and start transporting them towards the state capital.
Southwest Border Pass.
"Report, report, report to the general, our army's scouts are here to report, our army's scouts are here to report!
I found enemies 50 miles in front of my city heading towards my border city. I would like to ask the general to make a decision!"
What?
After hearing the news, the faces of all the soldiers suddenly changed.
Before that, they had never heard of any sign that the enemy army was marching on a large scale towards our border.
The current situation has emerged. They have come to our border in large numbers. It seems that they intend to launch a full-scale attack on our country, Datang.
Since they, the Tubo people, have come to fight, they will launch a full-scale attack on us, the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone said that since the Tibetans are here, we must also be prepared for an all-out battle.
Of course, all of them had already prepared for battle in response to this matter.
So even if the Tubo people arrived here with thousands of troops this time, the soldiers said they would be able to completely wipe them out!
Drive, drive, drive.
On the plains in the west, a group of Tibetan troops were slowly coming here.
Even though they and their group already knew that on their way to the border city of Datang City, there were already many scout troops from Datang City who were investigating, got the news, and quickly reported the news to the rear.
Even so, what can we do? This time I, Tubo, are here to attack the city and seize the territory.
You Datang people should wash your necks obediently and let us suppress you severely!
"Report, report, the enemy is still 20 miles away from our city."
"Report, general, the enemy is still ten miles away from our city."
News one after another continued to reach the general's mansion, until all the scout troops had gathered back.
After entering the city, quickly close the city gate.
At this moment, the Tibetan troops had also arrived at the Tang border and stopped four miles away from the city.
Just watch quietly.
"General, the Tang people's city is just ahead. It seems that these Tang people are also ready to fight."
To the naked eye, the city walls were all covered with soldiers from the Tang Dynasty.
