Seeing Dezan like this, all the civil and military officials in the palace spoke.
"Calm down your anger? How can I calm down my anger? This time, not only did the Imperial Master lose his life to the Tang Dynasty, but he also damaged my entire Tubo state!"
Seeing the ministers like this, Dezan became angry again.
In fact, in addition to the territory of one state, it is more about Tubo's face. Tubo started the incident, but in the end it was Tubo who suffered the loss. How could it endure it?
If you don't give that Yibo building some color, it's really hard to understand the hatred in your heart.
"Your Majesty, the matter has come to an end, and the most urgent task is to come up with a countermeasure. Just now, the secret agent has received news that the King of Tang Dynasty has sent Shuofang Jiedushi Li Guangbi to lead an army of 150,000 to station in Longxi County!"
After a moment of silence, a civil servant stood up bravely.
"Response? Since we lost...the King of Tang will naturally send an army to take over!"
With a flick of his royal robe, Dezan snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, there is still hope for improvement in this state. We, Tubo, don't have to give it to the Tang Dynasty! The Shuofang army of the Tang Dynasty is definitely no match for our 200,000-strong Tubo army."
At this time, the civil servant who spoke spoke again.
Before this, Tubo also prepared an army of 200,000 to take over Longxi County.
The army is stationed in Dangzhou, which borders Longxi County!
As long as the army does not retreat, it will not be easy for the Tang king to take over the state.
"No? But..."
Dezan frowned, he obviously understood what this minister meant. It was just that he couldn't justify it in terms of face, and if he lost, he lost... If he didn't keep his word, how would the Khitans, Turks, etc. view Tubo?
"Your Majesty, I have a clever plan to protect the territory of a state and prevent my reputation in Tubo from being damaged."
At this moment, the minister said again.
"Oh? Come and listen!"
"Your Majesty, after this great competition, news came from Chang'an that the King of Tang seemed to be extremely afraid of Yi Bo Lou. In the end, not only did he not reward Yi Bo Lou, but he also failed to fulfill his previous promise. As expected, Yi Bo Lou was not honored.
Bo Lou must be dissatisfied, if we hold another big competition this time, Yi Bo Lou’s masters will definitely not compete again!”
After thinking for a moment, the minister expressed his thoughts.
"Another contest?"
Dezan raised his eyebrows.
If it is true as the minister said, Yibolou will not go to war, and the Tubo side will definitely win.
Although the great master Qu He is dead, Qu He still has a younger brother named Cookie.
Although this person is not as powerful as Qu He, he is only a small level lower and is still a top master.
During this competition, he was far away in Kunlun and had just returned to Tubo recently.
"Your Majesty, we actually only lost three games in the arena in the west of Chang'an City. Master Khan saw that the situation was not going well and took his people away. Although he verbally admitted defeat, he did not submit his credentials. Therefore, your Majesty can definitely send his credentials to Datang.
, requesting another competition for the remaining seven games! The arena will be placed at the border between Longxi County and our state."
"this....."
Dezan couldn't help but feel a little moved,
"But what should we do if Prince Tang doesn't want to?"
"Your Majesty, if the King of Tang doesn't want to, you can justifiably refuse to give up the territory of the state. Shuofang's army is not the opponent of our Tubo cavalry."
The minister said again.
"Um?"
Touching his beard, Dezan felt that this method was indeed feasible.
Anyway, Tubo cannot lose his wife and lose his troops at the same time.
"Okay, then according to your words, we will immediately issue another letter of credence to Datang!"
"yes!"
"But this Yibo Building..."
"Your Majesty, it is not too late to make plans for Yibo Tower after the current troubles are resolved. After all, Yibolou has also killed two top masters of the Khitan and the Turks. These two countries will definitely not let it go."
Wen Chen's eyes were burning.
To outsiders, this time Tubo seemed to be in trouble, but in fact this incident tied Tubo and the other two states tightly to the same chariot.
The common enemy is Yibo Tower!
"Okay! It's settled then!"
With a flick of his sleeves, Dezan's face looked much better.
.......
The tide ebbs and flows, two days pass in the blink of an eye,
The Tang Dynasty was peaceful, and the injustice suffered by Yibo Tower gradually began to subside. Even if the martial arts warriors were upset, so what?
They had no way of influencing King Tang's decision.
Ruyang, the county government, and the official appointment documents of Jiedushi have been officially delivered.
However, Li Mo had no time to take care of this at the moment. He had just returned to the lobby with Li Zhe and Xing Cai, with disappointment on his face.
Since Mrs. Zeng said that Ruyang needed to open another trade route, Li Mo led the two of them into the mountains of Ruyang, hoping to find tobacco leaves.
result,
After wandering around for two days, Shanzhen found a lot of tobacco leaves but could not find any.
In this regard, Li Mo could only choose to give up for the time being, and could only wait for the opportunity to search elsewhere in the future. Ruyang definitely did not have it.
"If the tobacco business is not going well, then we can only think of other business routes!"
After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, Li Mo couldn't help but think about it again.
"Report!"
At this moment, the head catcher Zhang Shun came to the lobby door.
"I would like to report to my lord, there is a merchant outside the county government who wants to see you. He says that he and your lord are old acquaintances!"
"Merchant? Old acquaintance?"
Hearing this, Li Mo was stunned.
He seems to be a few businessmen he knows. Who is this?
But after coming back to his senses, Li Mo nodded and said, "Bring him in!"
Anyway, I can't think of a new trade route right now, so why not meet this person first.
"yes!"
Zhang Shun took the order and left.
About a moment later, Zhang appeared at the entrance of the lobby with a businessman.
Taking a closer look, Li Mo suddenly realized.
It turned out that this merchant was none other than Liu Hai, a big businessman in the silk business who accompanied him when he first came to Ruyang to take office.
When Zhang Yuanwai was captured, Liu Hai spoke for him, but he was never seen again.
"Grandma Liu Hai greets you, Your Majesty!"
As soon as he entered the lobby, Liu Hai hurriedly saluted.
"It turns out to be Boss Liu! Please wake up quickly."
"Thank you, sir."
Liu Hai stood up awkwardly.
At this time, he could no longer talk to Li Mo as casually as before. Now Li Mo unconsciously carried the majesty of a superior person, and his aura was overwhelming.
"I wonder why Boss Liu is looking for this office?"
After sitting down and ordering the maid to serve tea, Li Mo spoke.
"Sir, the common people came to Ruyang this time to sell silk. Secondly, they also want to do other business. I hope you will agree to it!"
Liu Hai whispered.
It is said that he left Ruyang a few months ago and was afraid of getting involved with Ruyang again. But as Ruyang's three major evils were eliminated and double-sided embroidery was born, he regretted it.
If he had firmly sided with Li Mo at that time, maybe double-sided embroidery would have become his own unique business.
However, there is no regret medicine in this world.
Unexpectedly, I heard a business news a few days ago and was very moved.
After thinking about it, I bit the bullet and wanted to see Li Mo. Since I missed the silk business, I must not miss this business again.
"Oh? What's the business?"
Hearing this, Li Mo's expression changed.
"Sir, I want to do a clay business! I hope you can agree to buy a mining land for me!"
