The winter in Linton City is rainy and rainy. After the various garbage outside is soaked in rain for a long time, it will emit a disgusting smell.

The sounds of drills could be heard outside the city every day, causing the people in the city to secretly wonder where the emperor was going to attack.

"It is said that a large island was discovered overseas, with gold and silver all over it, but it was occupied by others. Your Majesty is going to send an army to attack...it is the Prime Minister's carriage."

The carriage drove slowly through the sewage-filled streets, with more than a dozen cavalry guards surrounding it, heads held high, reminding people of roosters.

In the carriage, Loro Prime Minister Danbas looked at the people who bowed their heads, but in his mind he was thinking about the news that came a few days ago.

After discovering the big island, more than a dozen small countries jointly sent 5,000 people to attack, but they were severely beaten by 3,000 people from the other side, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

Those small countries didn't know how many troops their opponents had, so for the sake of safety, they sent envoys to invite Luo Luo to attack together, and promised to divide the benefits.

After learning the news, Yas refused almost without hesitation.

At this moment, Luoluo was facing a possible attack from the enemy from the east. Yas did not dare to be distracted, let alone divide his troops.

But if that big island is really full of gold and silver, taking it over will greatly enhance Luo Luo's strength.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace, and someone brought a pedal. Danbas slowly stepped on the pedal and got out of the car, asking: "What is your Majesty doing?"

"Your Majesty has just had breakfast and is taking a rest."

"Report it!"

"yes!"

Danbas put his hands behind his hands and looked at the palace he had been watching for decades, thinking about the somewhat aggressive prince Holden.

Holden secretly called Danbas a cunning powerful official, but at least he didn't say he wanted to destroy him.

An impulsive prince is a good thing for Danbas, but Holden's impulses are restrained, which makes Danbas a little dissatisfied.

He thought of his daughter Shania.

Although his daughter could not forget the Tang Dynasty man, Danbas still married her to a nobleman without hesitation.

After her marriage, Shania seemed to have returned to her original liveliness, but the sparkle in her eyes had disappeared, as if she was a living doll.

"That's how life is! Shania, there are more dissatisfactions. And what we have to do is to feel at ease with these dissatisfactions."

Dambas sighed.

The attendant came out and said, "Prime Minister, your Majesty has summoned you."

"OK."

Danbas followed the attendants and walked through the palace where he had walked countless times.

Yas had just eaten breakfast, his belly was slightly bulging, and his eyes were a little dull.

"His Majesty."

Danbas bowed and saluted.

Yas's eyes moved, "Dambas, my Prime Minister, what bad news did you bring today?"

There is a kind of bird in Luoluo, with red wings and a croaking sound that makes people upset. Whenever something bad happens to a family, it can often be seen on the roof of the family. Therefore, it is called by the people.

Bad news bird.

This is a taunt from the emperor.

Danbas' expression remained unchanged, "Your Majesty, I think that piece of land should not be discarded."

"But the Tang Dynasty in the east is our threat." Yas said dissatisfied.

"But Datang's conquest may not be now." Danbas said: "We have enough time... to seize the big island first, and then we can coerce those coalition forces to return..."

Yas leaned forward, "You mean... coax them?"

"Yes." Danbas said: "The Tang Dynasty is preparing to attack them, but Luoluo is unwilling to let go of the passage. However, if the opponent is too powerful, we can only... lower our heads and sit back and watch them destroy the country."

"In this way, to tempt them to send troops..." Yasmo stroked his beard, "The idea is a good idea, but it requires a person with good eloquence to convince them."

"Prince!" Danbas said with a smile: "I also admire the prince's eloquence. And his identity can ensure that others will believe his words..."

Yas hesitated.

"This is an opportunity, an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone." Danbas was confused again.

“Okay, let Holden go!”

Dambas resigned.

Yas watched him leave the palace and said to the attendant beside him: "I want to remind Horton to be careful of Danbas's plan. However, Horton needs an expedition to establish his reputation, otherwise even if he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor,

, and cannot suppress the greedy powerful people in the country."

"yes!"

Yas closed his eyes, "I need to take a nap, don't disturb me if I have nothing to do."

"yes!"

The attendant covered Yas with a blanket and quietly retreated.

In the huge palace, Yas sat alone on the throne. He leaned on the back of the chair, opened his mouth, and drool flowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping along his gray beard...

He slept soundly until he was disturbed by a rush of footsteps.

"who?"

Yas took a sip and opened his eyes, his dazed eyes instantly became sharp.

"Your Majesty, you are the Prime Minister."

The attendant came in to report.

Yas frowned, "But he just left."

Dambas comes in.

It looks a little serious.

"Your Majesty, Xizuo just came to report..."

Yas sighed, "Xinjiang?"

"yes."

"What's the news?"

"It's bad news."

"Then, please tell me without any secret."

"The convoy from the east can be seen as far as the eye can see. It is piled with food and grass. In addition, a cavalry of more than 10,000 people has also arrived at Yazhou City. Your Majesty... our opponent is coming."

…

"Prepare for war!"

Yasi roared filial piety to his generals, "Go and train your subordinates and tell them that Luoluo is about to face a formidable enemy. Those Tang people will rush into our home, loot our wealth, and ravage our women. For

After all this, I will lead them to fight against the invaders!"

"Swear to protect His Majesty to the death!"

The generals knelt down on one knee and swore allegiance to the emperor so that the invaders would never come back.

"Open all the warehouses, prepare food and fodder, and prepare money to reward the soldiers."

Yas shouted to the civil servants.

"yes."

Civil servants knelt down on one knee.

Yas clenched his fists, "Luoluo and I are ready to face this fateful battle!"

Danbas said: "This battle will determine who is the most powerful in this world."

"Without a doubt, it's Luo Luo!"

"It must be Luo Luo!"

…

The vanguard has arrived at Yazhou City and brought the emperor's instructions.

"Your Majesty has ordered that Luo Luo must be blocked from spying on Western Xinjiang."

"Yes." Zheng Yuandong immediately ordered people to step up inspections and strengthen patrols along the border.

"In addition, some people will come over to visit, so please cooperate."

"Who?" Zheng Yuandong asked.

"Jin Yiwei, and... some monks."

…

At the end of the year, Chang'an City has a more festive atmosphere.
