Li Chengqian also received the news from Wang Jin. The Xie family in Jiangnan had already had civil strife. Looking at Wang Jin, he whispered: "Transfer my order and hurry up to go to Jiangnan. The Xie family wants to calm down the matter before the Chang'an officials arrive in Jiangnan."

Wang Jin continued: "There is another thing, the movement of the Gu family."

"Say." Li Chengqian said frowningly.

Wang Jin continued to speak, "The Xie family's children who were intercepted and killed have been buried by Dali Temple. Now Gu Qing has sent someone to dig out the bodies. Seeing that the person has left with the bodies and headed to Jiangnan. After inquiring, he said that the soul will return to Jiangnan."

After hearing this news, Li Chengqian looked gloomy and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this matter?" Wang Jin said again.

Li Chengqian's eyes returned to the memorial and whispered: "Actually, Gu Qing and I think the same thing. I know that the current civil strife in the Xie family is not a good thing for us. If the Xie family uses this to eliminate dissidents and clean up their tails again, the officials sent out may not be able to start. The Xie family dares to do this at this time, and must have been connected with some officials in Jiangnan. Some people want to use this to reintegrate the Xie family to deal with the officials sent out in the court this time. They are about to integrate them. At that time, the Xie family in Jiangnan will be a solid piece again."

Wang Jin said, "Old Nu means that Dali Temple is taking the initiative to let the Gu family take away the body. Is Gu Qing overcame?"

"Just let Gu Qing do this. To put it nicely, it is a soul that returns to Jiangnan. It is not good for me to stop it. Besides, the real murderer who intercepted and killed the Xie family's children has not been found out. Doing this should be Di Renjie's idea." Li Chengqian whispered: "Di Renjie has always done a good job in Dali Temple. I don't want to suspect a minister who is capable of doing things. Do you understand? Call Chu Suiliang to come and you can retreat."

"Sorry, I'm too much." Wang Jin bowed and retreated.

Half an hour later, Chu Suiliang came to Li Chengqian to salute, "Your Majesty."

"Xue Rengui is still practicing troops in the Hexi Corridor?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes." Chu Suiliang nodded and said, "The Ministry of War will report every ten days. Now General Xue Rengui is practicing new tactics, a kind of tactic of war combined with firearms."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, "What's going on in Tubo this time?"

"Now all the Tubo tribes are still in peace. Rome stopped after reaching the Dashi period and had not moved for a while. The entire Tubo is preparing. Once Persia is broken, it will move to the border east of Tubo."

"What do you think if Xue Rengui walks out of the Hexi Corridor and goes to Tubo first?" Li Chengqian said.

Chu Suiliang thought for a while and said, "Tubo didn't know about Xue Rengui's training in the Hexi Corridor. There were very few people who knew about Chang'an. This army was just to prepare for the Western Expedition. If it was sent to the West at this time, it would inevitably make India and Persia suspicious."

"Then I ask you again, once Rome and the Great Food unite, it will take a long time to break through Persia to Tianzhu and Tubo." Li Chengqian continued.

"The fastest is ten days, the slowest is half a month."

"Let Xue Rengui's army approach the vicinity of Tubo. Once there is any change in Persia, Xue Rengui immediately leads his troops into Tubo. I don't want Tubo to be lost like this." Li Chengqian whispered.

"I understand."

After leaving the Ganlu Palace, Chu Suiliang breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Chengqian was still a little anxious. The Hai Trade Department said that it would take two months, and it has only been forty days. The layout of this Western Expedition is not long. I don’t know what Yan Liben of the East China Sea is like, and whether he can send troops to the South China Sea.

I thought to myself that Chu Suiliang left Chang'an and came to the Maritime Trade Department.

"I have met the Secretary of the Central Committee." Li Zhi said when he saw Chu Suiliang.

"I have met His Highness the King of Jin." Chu Suiliang also said with a respectful respect: "It's okay to return the Sea Trade Department in the near future."

"Everything is stable." Li Zhi invited Chu Suiliang to sit in the Hai Trade Department, "Is the Secretariat coming this time for the court?"

"Yes." Chu Suiliang nodded.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Li Zhi asked.

"Today, His Majesty summoned the officials and said he was preparing to let Xue Rengui lead his troops and horses to advance towards Tubo."

After Chu Suiliang finished speaking, Li Zhi thoughtfully said, "Is the situation so tense now?"

"Roman has not yet come out of the Great Food, and the situation is still unknown. The Tubo Protectorate has been paying attention to the situation west of Persia. I think Your Majesty is a little anxious." Chu Suiliang said.

"But this is also my fault for the slow movement of the Hai Trade Department." Li Zhi poured a bowl of wine for Chu Suiliang with his own hands and said.

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Jin." Chu Suiliang took the wine and drank a sip of praise, "It's indeed a good wine. The taste of this wine is better than that of the Chengjia Liquor."

"This is the wine brewed by the teacher himself." Li Zhi said again: "I would like to ask the Secretariat to buy some time for the Maritime Trade Department."

"No, no, Your Highness, King of Jin, must not say that." Chu Suiliang quickly explained: "In fact, this time the Tang Dynasty is enough to wait for it to work hard. Even if Rome conquered Dashi and Persia, and the place of Tianzhu, the court made preparations for this western expedition to swallow Persia and Tianzhu in one breath. The temperature is still too small now. What we want is to destroy the entire trade route and be completely controlled by our Central Plains."

Chu Suiliang looked at the busy Hai Trade Department and said, "Your Majesty is anxious to make achievements. It is nothing more than a reputation. We cannot fight this battle in a hurry."

Li Zhi also nodded: "So the Zhongshuling thought the best opportunity to send troops was that after both Tianzhu and Persia were eaten by Rome, the Tang Dynasty would take action?"

"That's right, only in this way can the great benefit be truly achieved this Western Expedition to the Tang Dynasty." Chu Suiliang also nodded.

Li Zhi spread a huge map and said, "This is a map from the Central Plains to Tubo. Where is Xue Rengui's army best to move to?"

Chu Suiliang also looked at the map and pointed at a lake and said, "It's better to be this location."

Li Zhi also nodded: "I heard Gu Qing say that there is a very beautiful lake in Tubo, which should be there. Gu Qing traveled around Tubo several times day and night and passed by this place."

"At that time, we will have to discuss it with Shangguan Yi and Pei Xingjian." Chu Suiliang nodded.

Li Zhi said: "Now our engine is also sent to the East China Sea, and our fleet has also explored the South China Sea. At that time, we will wait for Yang Fan to set sail. In just half a month, our fleet will be ready to set off to India. At that time, we will wait for the movement of Rome."
