The personnel of the Nanzhao mission were scared.

At the same time, I was also scared.

They never thought that Li Yan would dare to treat the envoys to the Tang Kingdom like this. This was a question they had never thought about. Even before they came, they had never thought that Li Yan would arrest them.

Before they came to Huichuan, Meng Yue, as an envoy, once spoke, saying that they would use deterrent measures as soon as they saw Li Yan, and even impose the most vicious abuse on Li Yan, a small military governor.

Meng Yue once said that the Tang Dynasty was weak and no one dared to treat me, Nanzhao people.

Moreover, the envoys who were sent to the Tang Kingdom were people who dared to touch them.

But ultimately.

They said the deterrent words, and also said the vicious abuse.

But the result was not what they thought, but now they are going to become the burial person in Jingguan.

Now, after Li Yan left, the Nanzhao delegation began to soften. "Your Highness, King Ying, this is not what we mean. Please be kind."

"Your Highness Ying, we are the envoys of Nanzhao. You cannot kill the envoys, you cannot."

"Your Highness Ying, let us go,..."

Begging for mercy.

However, there were still some resentment towards Li Yan amid the begging for mercy, "Li Yan, if you dare to kill me, I will not give up in Nanzhao."

"Yes, I, the people of Nanzhao, will never bow my head to you, Li Yan, and get up for me. How can I, the people of Nanzhao, beg for mercy from the people of Tang? You have lost all the face of my Nanzhao."

At this time, Li Yan had already returned to the government's yamen courtyard, but their shouts could not be heard from him, Li Yan's ears.

Even if Li Yan heard it, he probably didn't care.

Just a few messengers, how could Li Yan care about them?

Li Yan, who returned to the inner courtyard, looked at Shi Kuan and said seriously: "Send the order to let the Tiger Army and the Wolf Army be ready to destroy the Nanzhao delegation at all times. In addition, send a message to Zhengshou, I want to survive that Qingping official surnamed Meng. But the premise is that no soldier cannot be sacrificed."

"Your Highness, if we kill the envoys of Nanzhao, all countries will inevitably attack us and others. Moreover, the court will not let us go." Shi Kuan was a little worried.

It's true, too.

Killing the envoy is equivalent to completely cutting off the communication bridge between the two countries with the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Li Yan looked at Shi Kuan and knew Shi Kuan's concerns in his heart. He also knew that not only Shi Kuan did not understand Li Yan's approach, but others would not understand Li Yan's approach.

However, Li Yan must do this, and he must do it.

Li Yan hugged his head with his hands, rubbed his head and said, "I know your worries, I understand them too. But have you ever thought about how many people in Xichuan are still suffering in Nanzhao so far? How many have died in Nanzhao long ago? With these people alone, I, Li Yan, cannot let Nanzhao go. Even if I am broken into pieces, I, Li Yan, will charge for these people."

Li Yan's words immediately made Shi Kuan correct his integrity.

Yes.

Li Yan's goal is to destroy Nanzhao.

The flags that were held were the tens of thousands of people who were captured by Nanzhao the last year.

The tens of thousands of people have only found thousands, less than ten thousand.

Moreover, among the thousands, half of the men's tongues had already been cut off, and countless people were even disabled.

Some have one ear missing, and some have several toes missing.

In short, as long as you are a man, there are few who are complete.

And those women are even more miserable.

Those who are a little older will either starve to death or be treated like cattle and horses, and have never eaten a so-called food.

A younger woman would sell her to the Nanzhao people and make them a Nanzhao family.

Younger women, who are slightly more beautiful, will basically be sent to the capital of Nanzhao and rewarded to the ministers and officials for enjoyment.

As for those underage women and girls, they will also sell them. As for whom to sell them, or what the outcome is, they cannot be imagined.

If any of these women could weave silk, they would have lived a little better life and would be sent to the royal workshop of Nanzhao Kingdom to work and teach the Nanzhao people some of the skills of weaving silk and silk.

Although Li Yan had never seen the people of Xichuan who were sent to the capital of Nanzhao.

However, Li Yan has witnessed the people of Xichuan in Huichuan City and the people of Xichuan in Heji County and Changming County, and has witnessed many disabled people of Xichuan and some Xichuan women who are pregnant with Rokka.

Most of the reason why Li Yan dared to issue an order to attack the Nanzhao delegation was due to the inhuman treatment of these people in Xichuan who were once captured by Nanzhao.

"Your Highness, my subordinates understand. I immediately ordered the Tiger Army and the Wolf Army to prepare to attack the Nanzhao delegation at all times." After hearing Li Yan's words, Shi Kuan responded to Li Yan's order.

At noon, the order begins to be conveyed.

And those envoys from Nanzhao had been taken down by their personal guards and were sent directly to Lujin Pass.

Cui Yu and others had never left the hall of the government office and had been asking to see Li Yan.

However, Li Yan has always refused their request for a meeting, and he didn't want to see him even if he was there.

But.

After noon, when Li Yan had lunch and was about to set off for Liangshui, Cui Yu and the others who were waiting in the hall of the government office finally waited for Li Yan to appear.

When Cui Yu saw Li Yan, he rushed forward, "Your Highness Ying, the envoy of Nanzhao should not be executed. Your Highness, once you kill this envoy of Nanzhao, our Tang Kingdom will become extremely passive. Maybe, the Nanzhao Kingdom will devote all the whole country to attack our Tang Kingdom. Your Highness, this matter must not be done."

Cui Yu was so anxious that she couldn't do it.

He was the envoy to Xichuan this time.

Moreover, he was also responsible for peace talks with the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Although this decree was the result of the joint discussion among the officials of the court, it forced Emperor Li Ang to issue an imperial edict.

But now, the results of Nanzhao and Xichuan have reached this point, and the mission brought by Cui Yu seems to have no effect at all.

As for the peace talks with Nanzhao Kingdom, Cui Yuda had already lost the idea of ​​going to Nanzhao for peace talks after entering Huichuan City.

But today, Li Yan suddenly ordered the killing of the envoy sent by Nanzhao to Xichuan, which was beyond his understanding, and also made him very scared.

"Your Highness, although I am disabled, I have been serving Your Majesty, and I have been teaching you. I have always listened to Your Majesty's words. He always wanted to recover Huichuan, but his country's strength declined, and Your Majesty had no choice. Now Huichuan has returned to our Tang Kingdom under His Majesty's power. If Your Majesty hears this news, you will definitely be extremely happy. However, if Your Majesty kills the envoy of Nanzhao, then our Tang Kingdom will inevitably be in trouble. And if there is a great war between the two countries, the court will definitely not be able to provide assistance. Your Majesty, please consider it for Your Majesty, and don't let Your Majesty make trouble." After Cui Yu's persuasion, the Wei Nei Changshi also persuaded Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at the two of them, glanced at the person following them, smiled faintly, and continued to walk forward with his legs.

Li Yan doesn't want to talk much to these people.

The staff are too complicated, and each person has different thoughts.

Moreover, among these people, they all belong to various factions. Li Yan believes that these people were just afraid that their position would not be saved, and they might not want a full-scale war between the Southern and Tang dynasties. At that time, the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Tubo League of Nations may be together to attack the Tang Kingdom.

By then, the troops of the two countries might reach Chang'an.

Moreover, such a situation is not impossible for those of them who have always lived in Chang'an for pleasure.

At least.

Under the current circumstances, the national strength of Nanzhao Kingdom is becoming more and more prosperous, while the Tang Kingdom is exhausted from dealing with chaos in various places and the vassal states, and has long been exhausted.

If you want to deal with the full war between the two countries, you probably have the will but are powerless.

If it really reaches this point, no one can escape.

Just like the An and Shi Rebellion decades ago, the entire Tang Dynasty was trapped in various wars.

Seek peace, seek peace, and seek pleasure.

This is the common idea of ​​the officials in Chang'an, and it is also their greatest wish.

Seeing that Li Yan still did not listen to his dissuasion, Cui Yu quickly reached out to block Li Yan's way and shouted sadly: "Your Highness, you must not do this. Your Highness, you have to think about the people of Xichuan, you have to think about the people of Tang, and you have to think about the people of your Majesty even more."

Li Yan was blocked by his way, and he looked at Cui Yu who was blocking him with displeasure.

What to think about.

It has reached this point, what else can I think about?

Shi Kuan, who was following Li Yan, wanted to step forward and drive Cui Yu and others away, but Li Yan reached out to stop him.

"Cui Yu, former Imperial Supervisor, was ordered to take the position of Minister of Rites in the face of danger. He was regarded as a front pawn by the officials of the court and became the envoy of the envoy of my Xichuan. I would like to ask Cui, do you know Nanzhao? Do you know how the people who captured me in Xichuan were doing the same year before? Do you know how many people in Xichuan jumped into the river and died? Do you know what the people who captured me in Xichuan ended?" Li Yan looked at Cui Yu and asked in a series of questions.

Li Yan's questions made Cui Yu stunned on the spot, not knowing how to respond to Li Yan.

Cui Yu really didn't know much about the events of the previous year, but he also heard about it.

But now, after Li Yan suddenly raised so many questions, Cui Yu was stunned, but he had already guessed in his heart that Li Yan was going to kill the envoy of Nanzhao under this banner.

Cui Yu was stopped.

But when he was asked, he still wanted to stop Li Yan from killing the envoy from Nanzhao.

However, just as he was about to say something to stop him, Li Yan spoke again, "Eunuch Cui, don't persuade me first. I will let you see some people and then come and persuade me again."

Li Yan waved to the guard, and the guard quickly left with understanding.

Li Yan also raised his legs and walked forward, and Cui Yu followed behind.

After a moment.

Dozens of people were brought over by their personal guards.

When the dozens of people arrived in front of the government office, they knelt down when they saw Li Yan, kowtowing and shouting.
