Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Di Renxian stayed for half a month, spending every day with his beloved younger brother Di Renjie. The two brothers were usually unable to see each other, and now was the time when they did not want to be separated again.

In truth, both of them knew that at their age, their bodies could no longer allow them to separate again.

Just as Wu Zetian had imagined, after parting ways, the next time they would meet would be at each other's funeral hall. Whoever was still alive would attend the other's funeral, weeping and lamenting that their deceased friend was like a leaf falling in the wind.

While waiting, You Huan became the bodyguard of the two old men, ordering three imperial physicians to follow behind Di Renjie and Di Renxian, making sure nothing happened to the two old men.

The Qinushi, far away in Tibet, had already received intelligence about the large-scale massacres carried out by the Tang army in Goguryeo and Japan.

He immediately summoned the Grand Chancellor Yu Zhou to inquire about important military matters.

The two stood facing each other. Yu Zhou bowed respectfully, while Qi Nu Xi took a sip of butter tea and then gestured for Yu Zhou to sit down.

After they sat down, Qi Nuxi got straight to the point: "The armies of the Tang Dynasty and Tibet will not be returning. They have been massacring people in Goguryeo and Japan, which has already aroused the hatred of both countries. I'm afraid they won't be allowed to return easily."

Yu Zhou secretly found it amusing.

He already knew about these things, but he only found out now, which shows how outdated he was in terms of information.

The Qinu Xi's words implied that they wanted to send troops, since the hundreds of thousands of Tang troops were not going to return anyway. They could simply attack the Tang army and make them run away in disarray.

At this point, he couldn't persuade them at all, nor did he want to.

Tibet has not yet mobilized any troops. Once Qinuxi decides to start the war, he can then resort to his delaying tactics. Even if Qinuxi personally leads the troops, the lack of logistical support will prevent Tibet from defeating the Tang Dynasty.

Furthermore...

Wang Xiaojie has reached the border.

If the news gets back, Qinu should now be thinking not about attacking the Tang Dynasty, but about how to defend against Wang Xiaojie's fierce army!

"Your Excellency, now is the perfect time to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty! Your Excellency, we can send troops to launch a surprise attack on Dunhuang and Liangzhou right now!"

Qi Nu Xi was ambitious; this time, he was determined to make the Tang Dynasty bleed profusely!

Yu Zhou nodded: "Your Majesty's insight is excellent!"

He thought to himself that Wang Xiaojie had set out from Songzhou, leading the Right Weiwei and the Left and Right Xiaowei to advance together, while Guo Yuanzhen of the Left Wuwei of Youzhou, Quan Shancai of the Left Baotaowei of Dunhuang, and the Khitan cavalry marched through the Hexi Corridor.

They're already conserving their strength for an attack, and you're only now thinking about starting a war? That's just ridiculous.

Unable to express what was on his mind, Yu Zhou pinched his thigh, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Your Majesty, this war means we've completely broken ties with the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid that young emperor won't let us off easily."

"Victory would be the best outcome, but if we fail, I fear the Tang emperor will immediately dispatch a large army to crush us!"

"Ugh."

"I'm sure the Zanpu (King) knows that the Tang army has been fighting a series of battles, conquering the Khitan and Turks, greatly increasing its strength, and its elite cavalry has increased significantly."

"now……"

Knowing that the Tang Dynasty was becoming increasingly powerful and its military strength was not to be underestimated, they still decided to launch an attack despite having all the weapons and crossbows, which was also due to their own considerations.

After all, judging from the style of the Tang emperors throughout history, conquering the surrounding countries was as easy as drinking water.

Even during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, there were numerous instances of conquering other countries.

During Li Cunxi's reign, things went even further, with his ambition to swallow Goguryeo and Japan whole. His intentions were self-evident.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty had enjoyed favorable weather and abundant harvests in recent years, and the people's lives had greatly improved compared to the past. Therefore, they were quite satisfied with Emperor Li Cunxi.

Judging from this situation, waiting for internal strife in the Tang Dynasty is definitely not going to work in the short term. But after the Tang Dynasty has finished fighting Goguryeo and Japan, its next target can only be Tibet.

Even if he doesn't attack the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will come back to attack him.

Qi Nuxi took a deep breath and said, "Emperor Li Cunxi of the Tang Dynasty must think the same way I do!"

"Even if I don't hit him, he'll hit me!"

"Why not take advantage of his country's weakness and let him know the power of Tibet first, so that he will not dare to underestimate Tibet afterward!"

"As for those damned Turkic cavalry and Khitan cavalry, I have absolutely no fear of them!"

"Great Minister, do not act childishly. I do not care about the lives of a few of my people. As long as the Tang Dynasty can completely abandon its greed towards us Tibetans, the death of a few soldiers... is their honor!"

Yu Zhou cheered inwardly, his facial expression shifting constantly.

After a long while, he slowly bowed.

“What the Zanpu said is absolutely right. I have learned a lot from Yuzhou.”

"My lifelong wish is to plunge the Tang Dynasty into an abyss of no return. First I followed Xiao Qingfang, then Wu Sansi, then Helu, and eventually I colluded with tribes in the Western Regions, and finally I met the Zanpu in Tibet..."

"All of this is for one thing!"

"I will avenge myself!"

"The Tang Dynasty has wronged me in this prefecture, so I will no longer regard the Tang Dynasty as my country or my home in this prefecture!"

"Logistics can be entrusted to me and you gentlemen. I will certainly not let the Zanpu down. This time, let that child emperor of the Tang Dynasty know that we are not pushovers!"

……

After leaving the Potala Palace and returning to his residence, Yu Zhou saw Miha drinking butter tea.

He put down what he was holding and smiled at Miha.

"You're quite a rare guest. What brings you to my place?"

Miha put down his teacup and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Yu Zhou.

"By order of His Majesty, we have secretly infiltrated Lhasa. This time, we Wind Riders will cooperate with the Imperial Guards to complete the final mission together."

Upon closer inspection, Yu Zhou noticed that Miha had somehow acquired a token in his hand.

Yu Zhou had seen that token quite often over the years; whenever someone from the Tang Dynasty came looking for him, they would definitely bring the same token.

"Then you will stay in my residence as my newly recruited guard."

Yu Zhou said, and sat down to the side.

“That’s exactly what I wanted,” Miha said, putting away the token.

It wasn't easy for him to come all this way, and he needs to communicate with Ulezhi at any time, so he can only stay at his home in Yuzhou in this capacity.

"Oh dear, the weather is about to change."

Yu Zhou leaned back and said, "After this battle, we'll need to recuperate for several years."

Mihamo remained silent, only nodding repeatedly.

We've been fighting for several years now, and everyone's exhausted.

But then again.

If there were no wars, how would those generals climb the ranks?

With no room for advancement, things are bound to fall into chaos sooner or later.

To be honest, Miha's current position as the deputy commander of the Wind Riders is already quite high, but if he could take a step further and replace Long Feng, it wouldn't be impossible.

"So, what do you plan to do after the world is at peace?"

"Me? I'll be the Grand Commander of the Wind Riders."

"Don't you have any other wishes?"

"To marry a wife and have a child."
