Chapter 856
Changsun Wuji suddenly woke up and murmured: "What a Goguryeo!"
"Now you can understand why the Goguryeo people wanted to connect with the Xiao family and steal the recipe for the Wanshi Shibo. Li Shimin stuck his finger at the Bohai Bay and said, "With the Wanshi Shibo, Goguryeo can take the land of Shandong and Baekje from the sea. If his original place is added, they will support each other and avoid two places, then the troubles of Goguryeo will never be peaceful."
"That's why your Majesty said that the ghosts and monsters are here!" Changsun Wuji suddenly realized, but he immediately thought of another thing and said, "Your Majesty, Li Mu only has 15,000 people, and there is no general who is good at leading the army and fighting. Is it possible to face so many enemies?"
Li Shimin asked, "Do you think it's not possible?"
Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to tell the truth. Even General Li Jing may not dare to say that he can handle it completely with only 15,000 people."
Li Shimin laughed and said, "You think it's not possible, I think it's not possible, and people in the world must think it's not possible. Then, you say, Goguryeo and the people from the Jiesitang, will they think Li Mu can do it?"
Changsun Wuji thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I understand what your majesty means. But in this way, how can you break the deadlock? Your Majesty, don't forget, the prince is here too."
"I haven't forgotten." Li Shimin said loudly: "The prince is also the bait I put down. With Chengqian here, the temptation is great enough."
"But Chengqian is the crown prince after all!" Changsun Wuji said excitedly: "If the queen knows about this, your majesty—"
"So you can't let her know!" Li Shimin interrupted Changsun Wuji and said, "And Chengqian is his responsibility. He is the future emperor, and the world will be handed over to him sooner or later. What you should experience sooner or later, it is better to experience earlier than to experience later!"
"..." Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say. At this moment, what appeared in his mind was some scenes that had nothing to do with what was in front of him.
He thought that he grew up with Li Shimin for several years, and there was no difference in food, clothing and consumption. However, as he grew older, a person became more and more like a general and a kingly spirit, but no matter how outstanding he was, he was always a little worse. He finally found the reason.
He did not have the courage of Li Shimin and did not dare to make such a big bet.
One is the future crown prince, and the other is the most trustworthy young handsome man. He dares to throw it into a trap and use it as bait. How brave is he? He is not worried about something going on? He never thought about what if something happens?
"I believe in Li Mu." Li Shimin slowly expressed his thoughts: "I want to see where the upper limit of his ability is, and at the same time I want to see if he is as magical as the rumor." There was still no more sentence, and what Li Shimin really cared about was the thing Li Mu was bombing the mountain in Camel Valley.
Li Mu handed over the recipe, but so far, except for Li Mu's own hand-made, the others made it different from what Li Mu demonstrated and heard of. Although the effect of the explosion cannot be said to be lacking, it is just a sound. The real practical significance has not been seen so far.
He wanted to see if Li Mu could take out his trump card in desperate situations. For this reason, he also added raw materials for Li Mu to make in the supplies. If the Camel Valley incident was true, and the things Li Mu made had the ability to collapse the sky and sink the earth, then this kind of thing that could change the future war pattern must be in his own hands and in the Tang Dynasty for generations.
A powerful Tang Dynasty was Li Shimin's original intention. For this purpose, he could pay at any price and not blink.
...
To suppress the rebellion and attack the King of Qi, the soldiers did not need to be allocated from the capital area, and of course they did not need food, fodder and supplies. They were transferred by the government along the way, and the Ministry of Revenue would collude on the account, which means tax exemption. This is the most economical and affordable and can save a lot of losses in transportation along the road.
However, there are still some special materials that need to be transported from the Gyeonggi area, such as long-range heavy weapons such as bed crossbows and catapults, which are powerful weapons that local governments and guards do not have.
There were eight bed crossbows and catapults transported to Bashang Wharf, so don’t think there were few, as there were already many. You should know that when Li Shimin was conquering the world and confronting the heroes of Shandong, the Tang army did not have such things yet.
"This pier is not small!"
The person who spoke was named Tang and was named Guan. He was right next to Li Mu. Li Mu arrived in Miaojiang and he arrived in Tangguan in Luoyang. He did not meet Li Mu in Luoyang. He stayed for two months and was almost at a glance. Li Mu had now arrived in Qizhou and had no helpers around him. Li Siwen had returned to Dingxiang and needed supplies to transfer and could not find any free personnel. So he asked Tang Guan to come out and took the title of a general manager to help supervise the transportation. By the way, he also played the role of a royal pen and wrote the things encountered along the way into reports. Fortunately, it was serialized in the "Da Tang Daily" and the recently-founded "Luoyang Daily" so that the people in the rear could also know about the front line. The first "war correspondent" of the Tang Dynasty was born.
After visiting the dock, Tang Guan returned to the place where the equipment was loaded and ordered the soldiers, saying, "Your Majesty is to fight rebellion for the sake of stability in the world. Since this dock is so big, it is enough for our military ships to occupy the first half of the dock to use. Set up a checkpoint in the middle and hand over the lower half of the dock to civilian ships for use, so as not to disturb the people."
The school heard this and hesitated: "Master, our military ships really cannot use the entire dock, but... the matter of fighting the rebellion is serious, if something happens..."
Tang Guan smiled and said, "Don't worry! King Li You of Qi is as stupid as a pig, and it won't be done. Besides, facing my elder brother, who is my elder brother? If you can come up with a guy like King Qi, you can come up with ten ways to deal with a guy like King Qi. We are like facing a great enemy, but in his eyes, it is not a big deal at all. We should be careful and careful. But if the plants and trees are all soldiers, it will scare ourselves and make the people panic. Do what I say, I will bear the problem."
The school then bowed and said, "Yes!"
After saying that, the school hurried away and rushed to inform the civilian ships that were slowly moving away from the dock.
Tang Guan stood by the river with his hands behind his back, looking at the direction where the river water rolled. His expression was calm and he had the style of a Confucian general. If he could give him a feather fan, he would have even more aura.
He was not worried about Li Mu, really was not worried at all. In his heart, the gap between Li You and Li Mu was just like the gap between heaven and earth. Will an elephant worry about whether an ant can kill him? Things that are not on the same level are of no comparison. The only thing he is worried about now is that if Li Mu's speed of suppressing rebellion was too fast, he, a war correspondent, would have no place to use his skills. At that time, it would be a real regret.
...
Tang Guan’s worries are not redundant. Just look at our Emperor of Great Qi, Li You, and you will know what he is doing at this time.
In the back house of the Qi Prince's Mansion, the Emperor of the Great Qi, Li You, was holding a banquet to reward the people who followed him to rebel.
Your Majesty is very friendly and even the Empress has appeared. You can't underestimate the ten-year-old Emperor of Qi who is young and promising but not inferior. Although he is so young, it does not delay him from appreciating the beauty. This Empress is the stunning beauty selected from the famous Huajie and Yangliu Lane of Qizhou Prefecture before His Majesty ascended the throne. This year, he is nearly twice as big as our Emperor of Qi. He has his own charm. However, His Majesty, the Emperor of Qi, is young and has no hair. He has only a theory and cannot put into practice. He was wasted a good cabbage.
Below are the three kings of Pingdong, Pingnan, Pingbei, and the princesses of these three kings. The King of Pingxi has never heard of him, but it did not arouse any warning, because there were situations that did not happen for three or five days before, and no one took it to his heart.
Beside Li You was his Shangshu Ling and his uncle Yin Hongzhi. There were also the three provinces and six ministries of the Great Qi State. Generally speaking, there were about a hundred people. Everyone had to drink and enjoy the joy, and it was a harmonious scene.
If someone could look down on this place, he would be moved by this harmony. Isn’t this the so-called paradise?!
This is how Emperor Li You of the Great Qi Emperor... He is the emperor who is closed and becomes the emperor!
He announced that he was going to rebel! Then he closed the city gate and began his imperial life as he could imagine with his civil and military officials and the people of the city.
As for the attack on the Tang Dynasty, he never cared about it. After all, he was just a child and could rebel, mostly due to his jealousy of Li Mu. This is when he was squatting in Qizhou City. If he was in Chang'an or Li Shimin appeared in front of him now, he would be afraid immediately and might even cry. In wars, the people below were shouting, and he didn't want to do it well at all? He had never heard of many external slogans, and everything was handled by the Minister of the Great Qi Dynasty and his uncle Yin Hongzhi.
Who are you going to learn from? Li You was led by Yin Hongzhi. Seeing Li You now, you can imagine Yin Hongzhi's appearance when he was a child. Not everyone who is determined to take revenge must be extremely cunning, and also full of knowledge and can be literary and martial. When Yin Hongzhi was killed, he was a Chang'an boy carrying a sword and a bow and riding a fast horse. His ancestor was Yin Shousheng, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and his father was Yin Shi, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty. If he was given enough time to train, he might not be able to grow into a famous minister.
But..., there is no chance.
First, his country was destroyed, and then he became a royal relative. Although the Li Tang Dynasty confidently and without any hesitation to marry former Sui officials, it was impossible to be unprepared. At least in terms of military power, it was absolutely necessary to be strictly guarded. Therefore, Yin Hongzhi never did not, nor did he dare to contact military affairs, and he did not know anything about this. He had never thought about the cold winter season, even the Yellow River would be frozen, and then how his ship would go west. He had never thought about the four kings under his command, and Li You had never thought about it.
For example, Yan Hongxin, Liang Mengbiao and others can get Li You's reputation and appreciation, and their temperament, knowledge and insights are similar. Otherwise, how can we talk about it?
But after all, is it a rebellion? It’s okay if everyone gets together on weekdays and talks about some things that are not. During the rebellion, they still have to talk about some serious things. So, the cup funds intersected, and a few people had such a conversation.
Li You fell in the arms of the "Queen" and ate the pastry that was fed to his mouth. He said in a vague way: "It has been a while since I ascended the throne, and my father must have received news. My father has many soldiers and generals. I don't know who will send this time. I'm not afraid of others. It's just that Li Jing is a little troublesome. I heard that he has not been defeated in the war, and I don't know if it's true or false."
Yan Hongxin had already drunk too much. He blushed, his eyes straight, his tongue wide, and said boldly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, isn't it Li Jing? Brother... I hold a wine glass in my right hand and an axe in my left hand... Is it a slashing randomly while drinking, and there are 1,800 people... it's not a problem. Isn't it Li Jing? I must tell him to go without going back!"
I heard this and wanted to tell the story of "killing Hua Xiong with warm wine", but due to my limited level, I was confused.
Zan Junmo looked at Yan Hongxin and said, "Did you use an axe? Why haven't I seen you use it?"
Liang Mengbiao laughed and said, "Brother Yan doesn't understand what Brother Yan means. He wants to say that chopping Li Jing is like cutting melons and vegetables, without any effort."
Yin Hongzhi is somewhat rational than them, but he has to make a correct response, but he has no plans, so he just smiled with a cup and thought to himself, no matter what, I have now let you father and son kill each other, even if it doesn't work, you can destroy your Li family. If your father knows you, you can still keep your eyes open. He already knows Li Mu's men have arrived outside the city, but he deliberately doesn't say it. This feeling is very subtle. He wants to see Li You and Li Shimin kill each other, but he doesn't want to see Li You suffer and suffer - he is a nephew who has been raised since childhood, and people's hearts are full of flesh, so how can they not have feelings?
But revenge must be avenged!
Yin Hongzhi thought to himself, sighed secretly, let the child be happy to the day when the city was broken.
...
In the military tent, Li Mu hung his wrist and used an exquisite wolf hair.
The sketches are thick and thin, and the strokes are simple and refreshing. The jumping words are vividly presented, which is Li Shimin's iconic flying white hand.
"You have warned you to be close to wise ministers and stay away from villains, but you are unwilling to listen. You have always been rude and lack virtue, and you are soft-hearted and cannot tell right from wrong. Once you are bewitched by flattery remarks, you will be forgotten. You are really sad for you. How can my son be so stupid!"
"I asked you to vassal in Qizhou because I wanted you to manage Qi and become a barrier of the Tang Dynasty, but you rebel, making your father very disappointed and making people all over the world laugh at me!"
"Have you ever thought that if you do such a thing, how many people will suffer because of it? This is an irreparable sin. Even if you can forgive you for your father, how can you avoid the long-lasting mouth of the world and the criticism of the world? My son, it is not too late to look back now! Once there are casualties and injuries, it is an irreparable sin. When the time comes, it is not for your father, but for the world. Think about your mother, think about..."
Li Mu wrote a letter of persuasion in Li Shimin's tone.
