Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 278 The Emperor's Heart, A New Round of Expansion Plan

Li Delu, the chief servant, presented the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Li Gen splashed ink with his pen, sprinkling thousands of words eloquently.

"It is said that Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai, and Xue Rengui are three."

Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui were summoned.

The three of them stepped into the imperial study room and respectfully greeted them.

Li Gen nodded with a smile, motioning for the three of them to sit down.

"Xuance, you buy, Rengui..."

"I, there is an important matter that I need the three lovers to do."

Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui have no missions recently.

The idle ones are about to grow hair.

Hearing that His Majesty had a mission to explain, the three of them stood up together, their eyes sparkling.

"Your Majesty, please listen to His Majesty's will."

"Sit down and talk."

Seeing that the three were so excited, Li Gen raised his hand and motioned for the three to sit down.

"Xuance, Junmai, Rengui. The cruise ship from the Southern Continent is here again to deliver supplies."

"The Lingnan people who migrated last time live very well there, and it can be said that they have taken root."

"At present, the Southern Continent is completely owned by our territory of the Tang Dynasty. A new city, which resembles the capital of Chang'an City, has already been built."

"My goal is by no means limited to this."

"On the opposite side of the Southern Continent, there is a vast North Road. Its rich resources, vast land, and rich products are not inferior to the Southern Continent."

"However, compared to the aborigines in the Southern Continent, Beidalu already has relatively concentrated tribes and an army with considerable combat effectiveness."

"I need the three of you to lead an attack, achieve the greatest victory with the least cost, and bring the North Road into our territory of the Tang Dynasty."

When Li Gen finished speaking, Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui stood up again.

"Your Majesty, please follow His Majesty's will, not to dominate the North Road, and vow not to return it."

Li Gen nodded in satisfaction.

With the three of them on hand, it wouldn't take much effort at all.

After all, the current Datang army is well-equipped, far beyond what other countries can match.

The disadvantage is nothing more than the long distance and the long front.

In the Tang Dynasty, all the soldiers have invested in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the construction of the railway line extending in all directions.

"Xuance, you buy, Rengui..."

"I, the soldiers that can be given to you are really limited. Rengui led [-] special forces, and Xuan Ce and Junmai each mobilized [-] cavalry to spy..."

Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui felt a little bit in their hearts.

600 people?Go to fight a continent that is much larger than the mainland of Datang.

This is in case of non-combat attrition, such as illness, or various problems caused by acclimatization.

This is something people really can't handle.

"Three lovers, I have already edited a letter, Xuan Ce, after arriving in the Southern Continent, I will submit it to the Supreme Emperor and the King of Wei."

"At that time, all the soldiers in the Southern Continent will obey the orders of the three lovers."

Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai, and Xue Rengui nodded solemnly. Based on this calculation, the troops are indeed sufficient.

Li Gen took out a map and spread it out on the imperial case.

"This is the topographic map of Beidalu. If my calculations are correct, the tribes of Beidalu live here, here, and here..."

"Remember, don't kill the soldiers and people who surrendered."

"We are short of people now, so short of people."

"Women, especially young ones, must keep them..."

"Three lovers, you can understand what I mean..."

Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui nodded vigorously.

Understand, we all understand!

"The three of you keep this map well."

"After arriving in the Southern Continent, the Supreme Emperor and King Wei have read my letter, and will definitely let King Jin and King Wu go together."

"If the Supreme Emperor wants to go with you, the three of you try your best to persuade him. If you really can't persuade him, let the Supreme Emperor go with you."

"However, in any case, you must protect the safety of the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother."

Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui naturally agreed.

"Rengui, go back home and say goodbye to Xueyan. You are not allowed to bring your family with you when you go to war. I will take good care of Xueyan and Dingshan for you..."

Xue Rengui said respectfully.

"Sir, thank you for your majesty's grace."

Li Gen smiled and nodded.

"The three of you are all my students. It is really hard for you to send you to Bei Dalu."

"Rengui, go and come back quickly. I have ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a banquet. After the banquet, Cheng Ansheng will drive my car and take the three of you to the east coast for a cruise."

Xue Rengui left the palace and went straight to Xue Mansion.

Princess Xueyan, although reluctant to let her son-in-law leave.

But I know more about the importance of state affairs.

"Rengui, you can go at ease, fulfill His Majesty's will as soon as possible, and come back as soon as possible."

"Um……"

Xue Rengui knew that the journey was far away, and even though there was an extremely fast cruise ship, when he came back, at least it would be next year.

So, hurry up and spend some time with your wife.

About ten thousand words are omitted here.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Xue Rengui felt refreshed and left Xue's mansion happily.

When Xue Rengui arrived at the palace, Li Gen immediately ordered the imperial dining room to serve delicious food and wine.

Cheng Ansheng also ate and drank with him at this time.

This kid who walked the pace of disowning his relatives back then and was doing mischief all day long.

Ever since he bullied his classmates in the academy and was hanged in the city gate by Li Gen and beat him up, he has completely changed his life.

When he knew that his grandfather, father and uncle could not protect him, he was really scared to pee at that time.

Cheng Ansheng, who is a new man, can be said to have undergone a radical change.

On his first trip to the southern continent, Cheng Ansheng went with the team, although it was to keep company with Jixiang Ruyi and the others.

However, Li Gen, who later learned the truth about Cheng Ansheng's performance, was very satisfied.

Therefore, Li Gen specially asked Cheng Ansheng to train with the special forces, and he is now a young master.

And in his spare time, he asked Zhao Si and Feng Wu to train him. Cheng Ansheng learned the driving skills from Zhao Si and Feng Wu.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu went to Hankou, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai are about to go to the southern continent, and then start a new round of territory expansion plan.

There must always be a reliable, intelligent, and knowledgeable young man by Li Gen's side.

In the end, Li Gen chose Cheng Ansheng.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.

Li Gen took the opportunity to explain a few more precautions, and especially told the three of them to tell the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother about the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the power supply for the whole city of Chang'an City without any concealment.

Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui all remembered it in their hearts.

After the banquet, Li Gen personally sent the three of them to Chengtianmen.

Then, seeing Cheng Ansheng, he drove away in his luxury car.

It wasn't until the car disappeared that Li Gen turned around and walked towards the palace.

A new round of expansion plan has started, I hope Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui can complete the task satisfactorily.

If so, presumably the system will give even greater rewards and surprises.
