Before Li Xun left, he mentioned the matter between Tidashi and the Persian Empire and expressed his concerns.

Because of the Qiang people, Zhao Xun had no energy or thought about other things at all. Moreover, Dashi and Persia were too far away from here. Even if Li Xun was right to worry, Zhao Xun would not take it too seriously, because his heart was placed in the country and in the court.

However, Zhao Xun agreed with Li Xun's advice and asked Yuwen Zhen to strengthen his defense, saying that he would immediately draft the imperial edict and pass it to the Western Regions, so that Yuwen Zhen would be wary of possible abnormal movements on Dashi's side.

The next day, Li Xun was working in the Ministry of War, and Huang Xun suddenly told him something.

Dashi sent an envoy to Dajin. The envoy was secretly traveling all the way to Huizhou before being discovered by the local defenders. Then he found out the purpose and destination of the people. The generals of the defenders did not dare to be careless and immediately sent a team of 500 people to escort more than 20 Dashi people to Fengjing.

Li Xun asked, "Where did you learn this news? It's reliable?"

Huang Xu bowed and said, "Sir, my humble brother is working in Honglu Temple. What he got is first-hand news and is absolutely reliable."

"What is the messenger's name?"

"It seems to be called Sheikhman."

Sheikhman?

When Li Xun heard this name, he felt familiar and unfamiliar, and he couldn't remember it for a moment.

After carefully recalling it, Li Xun suddenly realized that in the seventh year of Chengping, Dashi and Dajin started trade with each other, and the Maritime Department was opened in Wuzhou. Many merchants flocked in. At that time, in order to raise military expenses, he met with five large merchants with strong financial strength through introductions. Among them, there was Sheikhman. This time, Li Xun met Ruan Donglang.

The family where Sheikhman was once one of the largest merchant families in the Dashi Empire. They jointly monopolized the commercial trade of the entire Western Regions with the Herber family.

Li Xun was in charge of Wuzhou for more than two years and earned huge money through Sheikhman and others. However, Li Xun's main energy was not in this regard. Business matters were all done through Ruan Donglang and Maritime Liu Yu. So after that meeting, Li Xun and Sheikhman had no social relationship.

Li Xun laughed and scolded: "I haven't seen this old guy for a few years. Dashi Kingdom was destroyed, and I thought he was dead."

Huang Xu asked softly: "Sir, know Sheikhman?"

Li Xun said indifferently: "I have done business together before."

Li Xun didn't want to talk about this topic. At this time, Dashi sent an envoy to come, and he must have his own purpose and intentions. Many things must be met and discussed before he can figure it out.

"Huang Jue, are you ready for the soldiers needed by Land Justice?"

Li Xun pointed at Huang Ju and asked.

Huang Xu nodded and said, "I was ready the day before yesterday. I was carefully selected by Bei Zhi. They are all strong and reliable people."

Huang Xu attaches great importance to this opportunity and is also very concerned about it.

Although this is just a temporary job and Huang Xu has not improved any position, this job is highly valued by the emperor today. As long as it is done well, it will definitely come into the emperor's sight. This will be very beneficial to his future career. Therefore, for Huang Xun, giving this job to him, undoubtedly gave him a great opportunity to move forward in his career. Huang Xun was also extremely grateful for this.

Li Xun thought for a while, then pointed at Huang Ju and gave a message: "Although we must cooperate with the work of the Land Justice Company and obey their instructions for specific responsibilities, the command of the army is in your hands. You must have a clear idea of ​​what to do and not blindly obey their orders."

Huang Xun emphasized: "I understand that if there is any difficult thing, I will report it to the Lord as soon as possible."

Li Xun's meaning, Huang Xun naturally understood that the work of the Land Justice Company is to measure the land and recalculate the amount of tax. This matter will certainly be strongly opposed by many people. During the entire work process, you may encounter violent resistance. If the means are too tough, you may cause big trouble. Li Xun's words were also reminding Huang Xun that the Emperor personally arranged this matter, and the Ministry of War can only do it, but how to do it, you must grasp the standard and not trap yourself, and you will also implicate the Ministry of War. If things are not done well at that time, you will harm others and yourself.

Li Xun said indifferently: "You go and do your business. You can put it aside for the time being. Doing the things arranged by the emperor is the top priority."

"Yes, sir, I'm leaving."

Huang Que bowed and then turned and left.

After Huang Qu left.

Li Xun picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then began to ponder.

A huge change had just happened in the Persian Empire, and the Dashiren immediately sent an envoy to come. The profound meaning of it was really inconceivable.

After Li Xun left the Ministry of War and returned home, he discussed with Fan Zhongyun and others, thinking that the most important thing at the moment was to figure out two things. First, the emperor of the Persian Empire passed away and the princes were preparing for war. The news was almost twenty days ago when it reached Fengjing. Maybe at this time, the civil war in the Persian Empire had already broken out. What were the Dashi people doing in such a situation? What were their actions?

Second, as the situation changes, the military pressure faced by the Dashi people is no longer there. Taking advantage of this gap, they have other choices. Whether going east or west, such a major strategic action, it is impossible for the high-level officials within Dashi to reach consensus and agree on the opinions within a very short time. There will definitely be some fierce debates and choices in decision-making. Which side is the dominant side and what the attitude of the Dashi Emperor has, we must also figure out as soon as possible.

The second year of Kaiyuan is destined to be an uneasy year.

When Li Xun was worried about the situation in the Western Regions, Zhao Xun intended to launch reforms, the aristocratic families and major forces were undercurrents, local rebellions continued, and the military governors and vassal states were watching. At all times, a war was about to begin in Hebei, and the Momeng Hu people, who were thousands of miles away, had improved and adjusted after the founding of the country, had strong soldiers and horses and sufficient food and grass. King Tu Meng of Qi had gathered more than 300,000 troops in his fiefdom, enough food and grass, and enough supplies. At this time, Tu Meng, his eyes might have looked at Anbei and at the Great Jin.

In early April, the weather in Fengjing was pretty good, with bright sunshine, which minimized the cold. In Hebei, after a heavy snowfall, there were heavy rains for several days and the cold air shrouded the entire Hebei.
