"What if Lin Yi doesn't ask for help from the Great Tang?”Old Yuchi asked foolishly.
Qin Mo's plan was based on the premise that Lin Yi would seek help from the Tang Empire. What if Lin Yi did not seek help from the Tang Empire?
" It's better if we don't ask for help from the Tang Empire," the old man said sinisterly." We can let the pirates destroy it. When the time comes, the Tang Empire will send troops to take over Linyi to save the lives of the people.”
Old Foolish Yuchi scratched his head and said," I think that old cunning fellow's vicious plan is better.”
" Are you praising me or insulting me?" the old man said faintly.”
This was how Foolish Yuchi drew hatred. In history, he was thrown into the local government because he was not on good terms with the old cunning fellows.
However, now that he was doing business with the sly old man, they could be considered comrades in the trenches. Although he was still mocking the sly old man, their relationship had eased a lot.
Coupled with Old Qin's constant advice from the side, it caused his arrogant personality to be restrained.
One had to know that in history, this fellow had dared to beat up Li Daozong until Li Er personally advised him to stop.
Because of Qin Mo, this butterfly, Old Foolish Yuchi's fate had changed.
Li Er said," Destroying Lin Yi is not something that can be done overnight. Right now, the main thing is to get food and alleviate the disaster in the country. The auxiliary unit is talking about the second step of the plan.”
The Great Tang's number one enemy was the Turks, and Li Er was bent on avenging his past humiliation. Everything had to make way for this goal.
The food he brought back from Linyi was also to serve this goal.
Qin Mo knew that Li Er liked to be extravagant, or else he would not have conquered Koryo three times in history.
Lin Yi's food had provided him with a solid material foundation for his campaign, so he could not help but be tempted.
Qin Mo had achieved his goal, so he was satisfied.
Li Er was also happy. With Lin Yi, he would have a guaranteed food base, and he would be able to show off his skills.
Moreover, by using Qin Mo's idea, he didn't have to worry about being scolded by those haters in the imperial court.
When they had time, the pirates would be repelled by the Great Tang, and the Great Tang would retreat. Then, Linyi would be destroyed by the pirates?
In order to save the people of Linyi, the Great Tang would once again send troops to repel the pirates. The grateful people of Linyi would beg the Great Tang to stay and join the Great Tang's territory.
What was that? You said that the people of Linyi would not be grateful? They must be fake citizens of Linyi. They would be killed by the pirates.
Was the plan reasonable? Was it perfect?
Everyone had decided Lin Yi's fate with just a few words. As for Lin Yi's feelings? Who would care?
No matter how perfect the plan was, it still needed someone to carry it out. The old man said," This matter is confidential and cannot be leaked. We must find a reliable person to do it. Otherwise, those trolls in the court will definitely not let it go.”
That's right, Qin Mo was the one who started the trend of using the word 'troller'. The people of the Great Tang felt that this word was very vivid, so it became popular.
Li Er especially liked this term. Those who scolded him in court all day were all called trolls by him.
The word "troll" had a negative meaning, but you couldn't say that it was a curse. Therefore, Li Er was often secretly pleased. Wei Zheng was often called Old Wei's troll by him. This was much more exciting than scolding Old Wei.
As he spoke, the sly old man looked at Foolish Yuchi.
Yuchi's body trembled." Why are you looking at me? I don't know how to row a boat."”
" I mean," said the cunning old man." People like Foolish Yuchi, who are familiar with everyone, can't carry out this plan. The person who carries out this plan must be loyal to His Majesty, but at the same time, he must be someone whom everyone is not familiar with. Otherwise, it will be easy for it to leak out.”
Old fool Yuchi and Zhangsun Wuji were sly old men, so the sly old man called him Old fool Yuchi. This was considered even.
Li Er pondered for a moment." I have an idea of the candidates. How many people do you think we should send?”
There was still some unknown power in his pockets. If he didn't say it, Qin Mo and the others naturally wouldn't ask.
"Just Lin Yi, three thousand people are enough.”Old Qin said.
Li Er and the others nodded.
It wasn't that they were arrogant, but that they were confident. Were the Turks powerful?
Li Jing led three thousand troops to attack and destroy Jie Li in one battle.
How does Linyi compare with the Turks?
Moreover, this was not a war to destroy a country, but an invasion.
Three thousand Tang soldiers were enough to sweep away the pirates of the South Sea, and with the pirates that had been subdued, they numbered in the tens of thousands.
Thus, Li Er made a decision." Transfer 3,000 men from the Left Military Guards to Luoyang and go out to sea.”
"Your Majesty is wise."
From the moment Li Er made his decision, Lin Yi's fate was already decided.
Even the gods could not save them.
Qin Mo reminded him," Your Majesty, you should send another group of people to bring some cloth and rare items to Lin Yi to purchase food. This is to prevent Lin Yi from knowing that the Tang Empire is short of food and deliberately refusing to sell them.”
After all, it would take some time for the pirates to show any results, and the Great Tang's food shortage was already an urgent matter.
Li Er nodded and said," In that case, I'll send someone to pretend to be a merchant and go to Linyi to purchase food.”
He looked down on merchants from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, he felt that they were unreliable.
Qin Mo hurriedly stopped him." Your Majesty, if we send someone to pretend, we will give ourselves away sooner or later. Why don't we send the real merchant over?"”
If the imperial court of Tang sent someone to Lin Yi, they would definitely be wary. They could only send a real businessman to Lin Yi so that Lin Yi would not be suspicious.
" There are a few stewards in the Zhangsun Clan who can serve Your Majesty," the sly old man said.”
"In that case, I'll have to trouble the auxiliary engine." Li Er also felt that Qin Mo's idea was good, so he decided on it.
Qin Mo smiled." How could I miss out on such a victory?"”
He had already thought of how to scam the people of Linyi for food.
