Don't be a prince

Among the countries that even Tang Dynasty finds it troublesome are Dashi, Tubo and Turks.

Dashi traveled across the ocean to fight, Lingnan waited for work with leisure, and coupled with the gap between sea ships and weapons, there would be no problems.Although Tubo is powerful, according to the news from Honglu Temple spies, this battle is actually a coup within Tubo.The pro-Tang faction represented by Tubo Zanpu and Ludongzan was imprisoned by the Shutang faction, which led to Tubo's dispatch of troops.

The struggle between regimes is very complicated on the inside, but it becomes very simple when it comes to the outside.When dealing with Datang, the party that benefits is right, and the party that suffers is wrong.

Therefore, as long as Tubo's losses reach a certain level, it will be self-defeating.

As for the Turks, there is no other way to deal with it, but to fight hard, forcing him to retreat because he cannot bear the loss.After all, the enemy of the Turks is not just the country of Datang.

"Now that my father is leading the army to attack Goryeo, even if Silla Baekje helps Goryeo, it won't have much impact. Even if Shiwei Mohe people are also involved, Liaodong will stick to Yingzhou at most and will not lose. However, It will be difficult for Zhang Liang to land and fight. With his and Hejian Wang's temperament, he will definitely not retreat, and he should choose to stick to Beisha City, so they must support."

Fang Xuanling found the location of Beisha City on the map, estimated it and said: "The distance is not far or close. If you want to send reinforcements, you may not be able to enter the city."

Li Chengqian pulled out a line in Dengzhou, all the way to the seaside of Koryo, and said: "There is no need to send people away. Zhang Liang sticks to Beisha City, and the battle damage will not be too great. What he needs most is supplies. Ship supplies by sea." , and then land in a hot air balloon and drop supplies by air, it can still be done.”

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "This is feasible, but it's already August, and winter will soon enter Liaodong. Therefore, fuel must be included in the supplies of the soldiers. In this way, the air-dropped The number of times will increase, and the cost..."

Li Chengqian said with a wry smile: "The bigger the cost, the bigger the cost. After all, they are our soldiers. It's just burning money. Leaving other countries aside, do you think Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje can outperform us?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Of course it can't be burned, so the supply to Beisha City is decided like this."

Both Li Chengqian and Du Ruhui nodded, and then Fang Xuanling began to draft official documents.

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open, and Wei Zheng hurried in, saluting as he walked, "The carriage at home broke down on the road, and it was delayed for some time. The old minister is convicted, and the fine will be handed over tomorrow."

Li Chengqian smiled and asked Zhang Yun to bring a stool for Wei Zheng, and said, "The fine will be waived. The carriage broke down was an accident. Gu will order the supervisor to make one now. Remember to bring it with Mr. Zheng when he returns."

Officials will be fined for being late, and the irony is that this is a rule made by Wei Zheng himself.

The "Emperor", Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province's chief officials are all present, so the proposal of a government order can be directly handed over to the six ministries for implementation after some discussion.Compared with working independently, the efficiency is not known how much faster.

When an official document was issued, it was stamped with their respective seals immediately, and Zhang Yun rode a horse to send it to the Ministry of War.It is estimated that in less than a month, Zhang Liang's supplies will be delivered.

After sending out an official document, Li Chengqian continued: "There is no need to worry too much about the East China Sea. Five waves of envoys are sent from Japan at a time, and only one or two waves can go ashore. Judging from the fact that this sea route is really not very easy. Even if they can send enough It is estimated that it will lose some of its strength before it goes ashore. There is no need to send more troops along the coast, and the state capitals can prevent it by watching and helping each other. However, it is still necessary to send a leader. Who do you think is better? suitable?"

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the veteran thinks that instead of sending someone there, it is better to appoint someone from the coastal prefecture. Du Mingze, Haizhou's shipping department, is a good choice."

Hearing this name, Li Chengqian looked at Du Ruhui at first glance.

Du Ruhui was stunned for a moment, but then said: "His Royal Highness, Du Mingze is also from my Du family. He is the commander of the Shibo Department because of his own meritorious service. I recommend him to be competent."

Wei Zheng knew that with Du Ruhui's integrity, he would definitely not act recklessly when the country was in crisis, so it must be because he did not avoid relatives through internal actions.

Seeing that Wei Zheng also nodded, Li Chengqian said: "Although the father is not here, Gu can only overstep his authority in an emergency. So Du Mingze was appointed as the general manager of the Donghai Road March, in charge of the defense of the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea."

With the discussion of the four, soon, most of the places around Datang that needed to send more troops or appoint powers were completed.What Songzhou and Fengzhou needed was supplies and troop rotations, while Feng An in Lingnan needed only a signboard to act according to orders.On the Goryeo side, after the emperor heard the news, he would inevitably arrange the defense of the northeast border like an iron wall.

Now the only thing left is Gao Chang.

He took out a charcoal pencil and drew a large circle on the territory of the entire Western Region countries and Western Turks.Looking at the big circle, Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling were silent.

There are too many countries included in this circle, so many that if a war starts normally, it must be fought with all the power of the Tang Dynasty.

But now, the number of Gaochang defenders is only 8.Moreover, because the supply line is too long and difficult, these [-] people eat horse chews, and they all use local materials.Once the war starts, it won't take long for supplies to have major problems.

The house leak happened to be raining overnight, and when Li Chengqian was worried about Gao Chang, Zhang Yun, who had just delivered the letter, kicked open the door and rushed in.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng all stared at Zhang Yun dumbfounded. If they were so anxious, something big must have happened!

Sure enough, Zhang Yun's words made the hearts of the four people beat faster.

"The beacon tower is on fire, which is a warning signal in the direction of Gaochang. So, about three days ago, Gaochang had already started a war."

As soon as Zhang Yun finished speaking, Fang Shan hurried in again, and without waiting to salute, he said, "Your Highness, there is a letter from the Beacon Tower, and there are police in the direction of Fengzhou."

The four of them quickly left their seats, walked to the empty part of the East Palace, and looked at the beacon tower on Longshouyuan.

"There will definitely not be only two!"

With a sigh, Li Chengqian said to Fang Xuanling: "From now on, all projects in the Tang Dynasty will be cancelled; from now on, all singing and dancing entertainment activities will be stopped; Belonging to anyone other than myself, I need to find a subordinate to prevent serious illness from delaying my job; from now on, military supplies industries such as steel and cotton will be controlled, and only [-]% of the private sector will be left; There are restrictions on recruiting troops, and the government treasuries of all military states are released from storage."

After Fang Xuanling wrote down one by one, Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Come on, let these idiots know who the hell is the strongest in this world!"

Hearing the crown prince's vulgar words, no matter if it was Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Zhang Yun, Fang Shan or the surrounding maids, guards and eunuchs, they all fell to their knees.This is the mentality of a strong country, and this is the prince of a strong country.

This is Datang who is invincible and an enemy of the world!

Looking at Zhang Yun, Li Chengqian said, "Go, call Yu Tai! Tell him to ride into the palace!"

Zhang Yun agreed, turned around and ran towards Yichun Beiyuan.

The prince was so eager to order that he was going to the stable in Beiyuan, Yichun, and rode a horse to call for someone.

In less than a stick of incense, Yu Tai pushed open the door of the Tai Chi Hall and hurried in.

At this time, except for the generals who were still empty, all the civil servants had arrived. This was the battle of the Great Court.

Seeing that Yu Tai was coming, Li Chengqian stepped down from the throne, stood in the hall and said: "What we prevented has become a reality. Now, there are two warning signals on the borders of various places, especially Gaochang, which has been fighting for several days now." Yes. Over the years, my Tang Dynasty has gradually developed from being strong to invincible. Now, even Tubo and Turks have to lower their noble heads and regard my Tang Dynasty as a monarchy and elder.

But, just like the emperor father has sat on the throne for a long time, someone wants to replace it. Now Datang's international status is too high, and others always want to get rid of this alternative.The whole world is attacking Tang, thinking about these four words, I am excited alone.Yes, excitement, not fear, and you know why?Because, as long as we survive this time, no one will question our Datang's status.

Not only us, but even our descendants can enjoy it with peace of mind and enjoy the good thing that we are born as Datang people.The territory of our Tang Dynasty was forged with flesh and blood by our ancestors. Now the hungry wolves outside are salivating, which makes Gu very unhappy.

As a hungry wolf, his stomach feels uncomfortable, so he naturally wants to be full.However, it is only necessary to let them know that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is something they can't chew, not only can't chew, but they will also lose their teeth!Today I called you to the Great Court Meeting to announce an order, an order that is ready to be distributed to various borders. "

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian paused for a while, and then roared sharply: "Don't give up an inch!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the roar of the prince in this life, but immediately, they also roared with all their strength: "Don't give up an inch of land!"

"Not an inch of land!!!"

...

After the roar was over, Li Chengqian beckoned to Yu Tai.

Yu Tai walked over a few steps and knelt down on one knee without hesitation.

Li Chengqian took a few steps forward, put one hand on Yu Tai's shoulder, and said: "Yu Tai, there are some places around Datang that don't need to worry about, and the worst situation in some places is stalemate. It may be overturned at any time. When Gaochang was conquered, apart from opening up trade routes, it also had the idea of ​​making it a front station of Longyou Road.

If Gaochang loses, then the northwest of Liangzhou on Longyou Road will all be lost.If Liangzhou continues to fall, the enemy's iron cavalry will approach Chang'an just like Jieli did back then.I don't want to appoint you directly, I'm going to Gaochang, I'm close to death, are you willing to bring reinforcements there? "

Without even thinking about it, Yu Tai replied: "If you can relieve His Highness's worries and sacrifice your life for the Tang Dynasty, you will be the last general, and you will have no regrets in ten deaths!"

Li Chengqian nodded: "Since that's the case, I will replace my father and appoint you as the general manager of the Tianshan Road Marching. Starting from Chang'an, I will recruit soldiers along the way to help Gaochang. Gaochang, no matter what, you must not lose it. Do you understand clearly?"

"promise!"

Chapter 5 and Seven

With Yu Tai's hoarse "No", the appointment ceremony ended.

After standing up and bowing his hands again, Yu Tai turned around and walked out.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Zhao Zian also came out of class to salute, and followed closely behind.

Looking at the courtiers who were still excited, Li Chengqian said: "Extraordinary times, implement extraordinary laws. Order the whole country, those who spread rumors and make troubles, let them be killed, and those who wait for opportunities to rebel, punish the nine clans!"

No one refuted Li Chengqian's words. In such an extraordinary period, it is true that the punishment should be prescribed. Under heavy pressure, there will be no panic at the national level.

"Retreat!"

After speaking, Li Chengqian turned and walked towards the apse.

Among the officials, Han Du thought for a while, followed the flow of people out of the hall, then turned around and walked towards the East Palace.

On the other side, just as Li Chengqian walked out from Gongli Gate, he saw Han Du waiting on the side of the road.

Arching his hands and saluting, Han Du said: "His Royal Highness, I am waiting for you again to discuss with you how to deal with the Wang family. Now that the soldiers from the two prefectures have gathered, look..."

Hearing that Han Du brought up the Wang family again, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel angry.

When is it not good to rebel, but this is the time to rebel. Among other things, in the city of Chang'an alone, more than 4000 people died because of their involvement in the Wang family's rebellion.With so many people, most of whom are young and strong, they can form a supporting army.And this support army, no matter which battlefield other than Gaochang is going to, can play a great role.

"Since you have assembled, then you should go to Taiyuan. Oh, by the way, Gu has ordered the Baiqisi in Luoyang to arrest all the other six families who were hiding in Luoyang to watch the excitement. When you go to Taiyuan, remember Bring them along and let them take a good look at the fate of restlessness. In addition, although what the Wang family has done is perverse, but now that the Tang Dynasty is in an extraordinary period, it is still not appropriate to kill too much.

Let's just investigate the superiors. If you convict a person, just search the whole family. Don't implicate too many people.

Compared with Lingzhou, Taiyuan is still a firm rear area.When you go to the royal family land, you might as well speak sharply.Instead of confiscating the Wang family's property, it is better to force them to fight against foreign enemies at their own expense and use it as atonement.In this way, it also saves our time.After all, the Wang family's family property is so big and hidden so deep that even if we use the finest nets to catch it, we can't catch it all. "

Han Du nodded: "I understand, Your Highness, these soldiers..."

"Xue Yantuo is resurgent, and his combat power must not be high. The strength of the frontier defense is enough to resist. At most, he is not aggressive. The difference is that the situation in Fengzhou is severe. Cheng Yaojin's troops are only more than 3, and his strength is slightly weaker. Weak, wanting to counterattack, there are many difficulties.

That being the case, after you finish your work in Taiyuan, send the soldiers from the two prefectures to Fengzhou.Cheng Yaojin's army strength has increased to more than [-], and he should be able to defeat the incoming enemy and counterattack.As long as he succeeds in counterattacking, the pressure on Gaochang should also be reduced a lot. "

"Wei Chen understands, now go to the Ministry of War to ask for a pass."

Watching Han Du leave, Li Chengqian suddenly remembered something, and hurried towards the East Palace.

The treasure house of the East Palace, he, the owner, has basically never entered it, and it has always been taken care of by Su Yuan and Fang Shan.But now Su Yuan is in charge of taking care of the children, and Wu Mei is in charge of the treasure house.

At the beginning, Li Chengqian was still worried that Su Yuan's actions would rekindle Wu Mei's desire to be superior, who had already changed the trajectory of her life.But now it seems that he should be thinking too much.

The entire treasure house of the Eastern Palace is made of cement and large stones, and the heavy iron gate is even more expensive.

The mechanism for opening the door was made by the top craftsman of the general supervisor. After Li Chengqian's guidance, the craftsman actually created a structure that can change the password freely.

Opening the door of the treasury, the first thing that catches the eye is boxes of copper coins.As the most direct currency in circulation, the East Palace has more than a dozen boxes in the treasury alone.

Beyond copper coins, it is silver, because silver has not yet been included in the currency system, and the reason why it can be circulated as money comes from the conventions of the people and merchants.

There is a lot of silver, more than copper coins, reaching the level of more than 50 boxes.Go further in and it's gold.

Although he knew that he was rich, Li Chengqian was shocked to see the gold bars packed in boxes.

Take a gold bar casually, but if you don't pick it up, you need to grab it.

Grabbing a gold bar and testing the weight, Li Chengqian finally understood why gold is called a heavy metal. Good guy, the unit volume is really much heavier than iron, and there is about two or three times the difference.

In the previous life, let alone buying a gold bar like this, it would be impossible to hold it in my hand like this.

Holding this gold bar, Li Chengqian continued to walk inside.

Because copper coins, gold and silver are currencies, they are placed closer to the door, and further inside are some real treasures.

The oversized agate jade and jadeite rough stones were given by Feng An when he made a pilgrimage to Chang'an.However, no matter what it is, it has something to do with money, so it is meaningless.

Squeezing the gold bar in his hand, Li Chengqian thought of a sentence and immediately smiled.

Well, I'm not interested in money.

Inside the warehouse, there is also a secret room. Open the door of the secret room, but it is full of old things.For example, a puppet wearing a red dress. The dress on it was worn when she got married.

Standing in front of the puppets and comparing them, Li Chengqian realized how small he was when he got married.

The feeling of growing up again is different after all.Because I wasted my time, after rebirth, I know how to cherish it even more.

On the wooden shelf, there are even wooden knives and wooden swords that Li Tai and Li Ke made together when they were in the Qin Palace. Seeing these things, a feeling of nostalgia suddenly arises.

The secret room was built by himself at the beginning, and these things were also preserved by his own order.As a result, I didn't find time to take a look until now.

At this moment, Li Chengqian just wanted to say one thing:

"The place at home is big, so you can do whatever you want! Grandma, I feel uncomfortable when I think of the books and classmate books I threw away for the sake of space."

Fang Shan was puzzled and said: "Your Highness, your books are all collected in the study room and this secret room, and there is no lack of them. As for the classmate records, there is no such book in your books."

Can't help but say it.

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, but the thing made of rosin alone, where is it placed?"

Fang Shan walked aside, took out a shelf, climbed onto the shelf, and took down a box from the top of the shelf.

Even the boxes taken from the top are still free of dust, which shows that these things are cleaned regularly.

Opening the box, Li Chengqian took out a piece of amber from inside.

The knowledge I learned when I was learning specimen making in elementary school has come in handy.This amber was made by him, and inside this amber is sealed a finger, a human little finger.

Because there is no dehydration treatment, the amber produced has some air bubbles, which affects the appearance.But it's okay to see what's inside.

The owner of this little finger is actually Ashina Xue’s younger brother——Ashina Helu!

Because Ashina Snow has not broken contact with Ashina Helu these years, Li Chengqian still knows Ashina Helu quite well.

This kid, after regrouping his father's tribal forces, and with the secret help of the East Palace, has now become a small Turkic Khan, under the command of Yibidu Khan.

Yipidu is cruel and self-willed. In fact, the various tribes under him have been dissatisfied with his rule for a long time.If a rebellion can be initiated from within, perhaps the crisis in Gaochang can be resolved.

The biggest problem now is whether this kid still remembers his brother-in-law and the original promise.

"Call the flying eagle to Gu!"

Fang Shan agreed, turned around and left the treasure house.
