Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 561

In the back garden of the Sheriff's Mansion, two rows of low tables were placed side by side, and fresh fruits and delicacies were placed on the tables.

Li Tangao sat at the head, followed by Li Yu, Li Canghai, Di Qing, and Yang Shicheng on the left.

On the other side sat Fushimi Hirohito, Conan, Commander Tie, and Kang Xu.

Yang Shicheng picked up his wine glass and said: "The Japanese pirates have been rampant in Jiangnan Road for more than ten years, and today they are finally wiped out. Yang, on behalf of the people of Jiangnan Road, here's a toast to all of you, please!"

When everyone heard the words, they raised their wine glasses one after another and drank all the wine in their glasses.

After Yang Shicheng finished drinking, he picked up the jug, filled another glass, and said: "This time we can win a big victory, thanks to Mr. Li's strategizing. Mr. Li, I will offer you another drink on behalf of the people of Jiangnan Road. Can you Be sure to drink this cup to the brim!"

"That's right, that's right. If it weren't for Mr.'s ingenious plan, how easy would it be to wipe out all the Japanese pirates? I suggest that everyone give a toast to Mr. Li Yu!" Li Yu was also quite excited. He picked up his glass and followed closely behind.

Li Canghai smiled and said: "My lord and Lord Yang are serious. I said before that this result is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. In my opinion, everyone is a meritorious person, and there is no difference between the size and the size of the contribution." This way you respect me, I respect you, it’s not pleasant to be drunk. Today’s celebration banquet is to make everyone happy, so why bother to say so many polite words, everyone just enjoys drinking!"

Li Tan nodded and said: "What Cang Hai said is true, you don't have to abide by any red tape, let's toast together, let's drink to his heart's content today!"

"Okay! Have a good drink!" Everyone seemed to be in a good mood and echoed.

Soon, everyone began to drink and stagger.

Yang Shicheng got the best dancer in Yangzhou City to dance for everyone.

Joy and laughter suddenly resounded in the garden, Li Yu drank too much, and actually sang while drinking.

Although his singing voice was really unflattering, everyone listened with gusto.

"Zhao Keman Huying, Wu hook frost and snow. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star. Killing a person in ten steps will never stop him from traveling for thousands of miles. When things happen, go away with your clothes, and hide your body and reputation."

……

This is "Xia Ke Xing" written by Li Bai, a poet. There are more than a hundred words in it, but it makes people excited.

Everyone was holding wine glasses, but there was indeed a bit of an artistic conception of "three glasses of turmoil, and the five mountains are light".

Li Canghai enjoyed this feeling very much. In his opinion, knights do not distinguish between Jianghu or court, high or low, old or young, as long as they serve the people wholeheartedly and do justice, they can be called knights.

Some of these people in front of them are strong in martial arts, and some are weak, but they are not ambiguous in front of Dayi.

When facing the ferocious Japanese pirates, no one flinched.

Without them, Li Canghai would be a clever woman who could hardly survive without rice, so Li Canghai respected each of them very much.

Just as everyone was drinking and drinking, suddenly a yamen servant ran over.

"My lord, outside the yamen there is a Xuanzhi official from Luoyang asking to see him!" The yamen servant bowed and reported.

Yang Shicheng was a little strange, he looked at Li Canghai suspiciously.

Li Canghai put down his wine glass, and said, "The proclamation officer of Luoyang City must have something important to come here, let him come in and talk."

After the yamen servant took the order to leave, Yang Shicheng waved his hand to let the dancer back down, and everyone was suddenly surprised.

"Master Yang, why did you drive all the dancers away?" Li Yu asked drunkenly while hiccupping.

"My lord, the Luoyang Xuanzhi official is here." Yang Shicheng replied.

Li Yu waved his hand nonchalantly, and said: "It's just the decree officer, he... He came as soon as he came, a mere decree officer, don't you want me to go to greet him?... Hiccup."

Li Tan frowned slightly, and instead of looking at Li Yu, he turned to Li Canghai and said, "Canghai, why do you think the official came here?"

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "I don't know."

While speaking, the yamen servant brought the decree official to the garden.

Seeing the crowd, the edict officer immediately saluted and said: "My lord, my lords, I have ordered you to come here to proclaim the imperial edict."

When everyone heard the words, they knelt down on the ground one after another.

The decree official took out an imperial decree from the tube on his back, opened it and read it: "By heaven's blessing, the emperor ordered that today a small country from Dongying is attacking Silla, trying to capture the original land, and the war is urgent. Li Canghai is specially appointed as the Great Eastern Expedition." Marshal, lead an army of [-] to join the Silla army to fight against Dongying. This is yours!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"Your servant Li Canghai accepts the order!" Li Canghai frowned, stood up and took the imperial order in his hands.

Li Tan frowned, and asked the edict officer, "What's going on?"

The official made a salute to Li Tan and said: "My lord doesn't know that the Holy Majesty is still in Luoyang and has not returned to Chang'an. A few days ago, several envoys from Silla came to Luoyang and told the Holy Majesty that Dongying sent troops to attack Silla. Now The bandits from Japan are powerful, they have captured most of the cities on the Korean peninsula, and they are heading towards Silla. Silla knows that the country is weak, and it is no match for the Japanese pirates, so they have to travel day and night to ask the Holy Lord to send troops to rescue them."

When Fushimi Hirohito heard this, he and Conan looked at each other, and both of them had disbelief in their eyes.

"What? Could it be that Fujiwara Koji has already unified Dongying?" Fushimi Hirohito cried out.

The official said: "That's not true. According to the envoys of Silla, apart from a few cities such as Kyoto, Fujiwara Hiroshi has already occupied four-fifths of the territory of Dongying. Therefore, this time Fujiwara Hiroshi invested 12 troops were sent to attack Silla."

"12? This is as much as half of the total strength of Dongying! I didn't expect Fujiwara Hiroshi to move so fast. Could it be that he really wants to swallow the Kyushu of the Tang Dynasty?" Knowing that Dongying's capital is still safe, Fu Seeing Hirohito heaved a sigh of relief, but he was still a little surprised.

"Not only that, Dongying has also joined forces with Baekje. The total strength of the two sides is more than [-] people. The troops are divided into two groups to attack Silla. The military situation is urgent. The Holy Spirit has an order, and the order has been implemented." The officer said.

The faces of all the people suddenly became solemn. Baekje actually joined forces with Dongying, and the combined number of the two sides was more than 5, but the emperor only sent [-] troops to Li Canghai. This really made people a little puzzled.

Li Tan asked in a deep voice: "There are so many generals in the court, why did you let Canghai lead the army to fight against the Japanese?"

The official said: "Returning to the prince, I don't know about this subordinate. However, I heard that it seems that Yang Xiang suggested that Mr. Li eradicated the Japanese pirates in Yangzhou for more than ten years. He is proficient in military strategy. The best candidate to defend against Japan."

"But even if you let Cang Hai lead troops to fight, you can't just give [-] soldiers and horses?" Di Qing wrinkled her nose and said displeasedly.
