Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 144 Li Bai Drunken Grass Scares the Man Book ([-])

In April, Yang Guozhong finally finished preparations, and all the food, grass, and weapons were in place. He asked Tang Xuanzong for an order to send troops to attack Nanzhao Kingdom for the second time, and he immediately got Tang Xuanzong's consent.

After all, Yang Guozhong also served as Jiannan Jiedushi, once he won the attack on Nanzhao Kingdom, he would have a share of the credit.

For this war, Yang Guozhong concentrated a large amount of supplies and soldiers in Chengdu, Jiannan. It can be said that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.

The Longyou battle between Ge Shuhan and Tubo became more and more fierce. It is absolutely impossible for Tubo to send troops to rescue the Nanzhao Kingdom this time. Yang Guozhong confidently believes that the Nanzhao Kingdom will be destroyed this time.

With Tang Xuanzong's will, on April [-], Yang Guozhong ordered the new Jiannan deputy envoy Li Mi to start sending troops to attack Nanzhao Kingdom.

Li Mi is Yang Guozhong's confidant. Although Yang Guozhong also serves as Jiannan Jiedushi, he is also a prime minister. His focus is in Chang'an City. It is impossible to go to Jiannan to handle military affairs. Xianyu Zhongtong has always handled it on his behalf. Last time, Xianyu Zhongtong took over After losing the battle and being dismissed from office, Li Mi succeeded Xianyu Zhongtong as Yang Guozhong's spokesperson in Jiannan.

"Hehe, Yang Guozhong took it for granted. In order to launch a war, in addition to having a strong army, there must also be a famous general who is capable of leading the army. What kind of thing is Li Mi? I have never fought a big battle. I think that because of my relationship with Yang Guozhong Are you qualified to command so many troops to attack Nanzhao Kingdom? Yang Guozhong is playing with fire." Li Fei smiled disdainfully when he heard the news.

Li Fei's disdain did not affect Yang Guozhong's self-confidence at all.

Moreover, after Yang Guozhong ordered Li Mi to start attacking Nanzhao Kingdom, what he was waiting for was the result, so he finally freed up a lot of energy and began to turn his attention to Li Fei and Li Bai whom he hated.

Yang Guozhong instructed his officials to give Li Fei and Li Bai a few small reports to Tang Xuanzong, saying that Li Fei's words were a bit far-fetched, and that Li Bai's words were mostly drunk all day long and out of style.

This kind of small report has no effect on Li Fei, but on Li Bai, Tang Xuanzong has begun to feel a little displeased. After all, no matter how talented a person is, he looks drunk in front of you once, you may think it is fresh and don’t care , but if it happens every time, it will inevitably lead to dislike if you see too much. After all, Tang Xuanzong is still an emperor, and in his bones he hopes that everyone will be respectful in front of him.

However, after all, Li Bai gave Tang Xuanzong the impression of a "strange person". Tang Xuanzong can still understand how strange people are, and still won't blame Li Bai.

At the end of April, the Northeast Bohai State sent an envoy to send a letter of war!
Yes, it is a gauntlet, a gauntlet to challenge Datang.

"How dare a small barbarian country in the Bohai Sea dare to challenge my Tang Dynasty?" Tang Xuanzong was furious when he heard the news, sneered, and ordered that the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom be summoned the next day.

This is great news. For many years, Datang has not dared to send a letter of challenge. Either it directly launched a war against Datang, or Datang took the initiative to launch an attack on others. The first to send a letter of challenge is still the first Second-rate.

There was a lot of discussion in Chang'an City, and everyone sneered at it. Even the ordinary people didn't pay attention to the mere Bohai Kingdom, thinking that it was a barbarian Yelang who was arrogant.

Li Fei was also taken aback when he heard about this, but he didn't think much about it, he just waited for tomorrow's court meeting to find out what happened.

The next day at the court meeting, a Bohai envoy dressed in a beard walked into the court hall full of arrogance, and Tang Xuanzong and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all frowned.

The envoy of the Bohai Kingdom handed the letter of war to Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi would have read it directly to Tang Xuanzong, but when Gao Lishi opened the so-called letter of war, he was immediately stunned.

Tang Xuanzong frowned, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also puzzled.

Gao Lishi presented this letter of credence directly in front of Tang Xuanzong. Tang Xuanzong saw that it was not written in Chinese, but in the language of a minority in Bohai. Gao Lishi didn't know it at all, so of course he couldn't read it. .

Tang Xuanzong waved his hand and asked Gao Lishi to circulate it to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, hoping that someone could recognize the characters of the Bohai Kingdom.

It has been passed down from Prime Minister Yang Guozhong who stood in the first place.

Li Fei also glanced at it, of course he couldn't recognize this kind of barbaric writing.

None of the other civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty knew this kind of barbarian literature, and they all looked at a loss after reading it.

"Your Majesty, these barbaric books are all traces of birds and beasts, and the ministers are short of knowledge and don't know a single word." After watching for a while, no one stood up, and a third-rank official stood up and said.

"Hahahaha, the majestic Tang Dynasty doesn't seem to have any talents. No one can understand the letter of war sent by the King of Bohai. I am afraid that no one will be able to resist my Bohai Kingdom sending troops to attack Datang." The messenger laughed in fluent Chinese.

Apparently, many people in the Bohai Kingdom can read Chinese and Chinese characters, but deliberately wrote war letters in a small number of local languages, just to ridicule Datang.

Being ridiculed by the emissary of the mere Fanbang barbarians, Tang Xuanzong couldn't hold back his face.

Everyone sent the letter of war, but no one recognized what was said in it. I don't know how fierce the words in the book are, how can Datang reply?If there is no reply, wouldn't it be more ridiculed by others?

"Civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, isn't there a well-educated person who can share my worries?" Tang Xuanzong said angrily to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

At this time, Yang Guozhong changed his mind and suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, Hanlin Li Bai once said that his talent is unparalleled in the world. If you call him here, you will definitely be able to read this barbaric book."

Li Fei was standing behind Yang Guozhong, and his heart trembled when he heard Yang Guozhong's words.Yang Guozhong deserved to have cheated Wang Yu of Li Linfu's existence. He was really treacherous and insidious. He definitely didn't want to recommend Li Bai. The Bohai Kingdom is far away in the barbaric Northeast. Except for the people there, who knows the barbaric culture there.Yang Guozhong probably also felt that Li Bai didn't know the barbarian language of Bohai, so he dug a big hole for Li Bai.

I didn't hear Yang Guozhong say that Li Bai himself said that he was unparalleled in the world, and since he was unparalleled in the world, he must know everything, so Yang Guozhong said that Li Bai must be able to read the barbarian books of Bohai Kingdom.

The big pit is coming, and Tang Xuanzong is full of anger at the moment. Once Li Bai comes, it will be fine if he recognizes the barbaric books of the Bohai Kingdom.Tang Xuanzong's anger must have been passed on to Li Bai. At that time, Yang Guozhong came out to say a few more words and added two fires. Does Li Bai have any good fruit to eat?

Although he saw Yang Guozhong's intentions, Li Fei was not worried about Li Bai at all. He remembered that there was a book about Li Bai's drunken grass scaring the wild in the wild history. Could it be this time?
Li Bai was quickly summoned, and it was rare that Li Bai was not drunk this time.

Li Fei thought it might be because he had just woken up in the morning and hadn't had time to drink yet.
