Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 759 Creative Motivation
After the teaching of Wei De, the light curtain is approaching the beginning of October, which also means that the time for Prince Tang to set out is getting closer.

So during this period of time, Li Chengqian simply put aside other things and focused on accompanying his family.

He studied with Li Tai, played with Li Zhi, listened to his sister's troubles, and comforted his mother's worries.

During this time, he could also take some time to go to the Taiji Hall and listen to his father talk about old stories in Hebei that he didn't know much about, or take out the map and talk about those countries that the Tang Dynasty could not reach today.

By the way, you can also listen to your father's overwhelming melancholy.

During this period of time, Li Chengqian gradually understood that there were so many heroes throughout history, and his father was definitely one of the most outstanding ones.

In the fifth year of Wude, all the heroes were defeated. That year, Aye was only 23 years old, which could be considered young.

Even though he has reached middle age, he has no rival in battle; even though his arrows are still sharp, there is no one to match them.

At the same time, he had to look at the light curtain and listen to the heroic stories of ancient and modern times. For Aye, who had not shown any signs of old age, this experience was another form of torment.

During this period, war reports from Japan and changes in the situation in Korea were continuously sent to Chang'an, which made Li Chengqian yearn for the sea.

Although his father hadn't said it yet, Li Chengqian had secretly made up his mind to travel in Hebei first, then fight in the Western Regions, and finally he would go to the sea, so that he could truly experience the world of the Tang Dynasty.

In such a dull and trivial daily life, I inadvertently looked back and found that it was already October.

When he arrived at Ganlu Palace, Li Chengqian saw his younger brother Li Tai sitting there as obediently as a quail, but his eyes were trying to look around.

And her younger sister, Princess Changle County Li Lizhi, was whispering with her mother beside her.

Seeing him here, Li Tai's eyes were obviously filled with joy.

However, Li Chengqian still went to his mother to ask about her well-being first, and also asked about his sister's health with concern.

This sister had a weak constitution since childhood and was originally engaged to her uncle's legitimate son. However, later on, Sun Yaowang said that Princess Changle County was weak and needed to be nursed back to health, so her father put the engagement on hold. Otherwise, the wedding would have been held next year according to the old agreement.

Fortunately, my uncle also understood this matter, and Chang Sun Chong expressed his support, and even took the initiative to request to go to Hebei with him this time.

While I was still racking my brain, my father also arrived.

"Let me see how the founding of the Ming Dynasty compares to my Zhenguan period."

Wei Zheng immediately wanted to stand up and say that the founding of the Tang Dynasty was in the Wude Year, but he was stopped by Fang Xuanling who was quick-eyed and quick-handed. As a result, the atmosphere in Ganlu Hall was as harmonious as usual.

……

For Qian Chu, it was only after he arrived in Bianliang that he truly and closely observed what a "country" was.

There is no way. Although Wu Yue is also a country, its own people know their own business. There is nothing commendable about Wu Yue in terms of civil governance and military achievements.

Seriously speaking, the Wu Yue Kingdom has always been known for its commerce, so its greatest claim to fame is its wealth.

Perhaps because of his status as a famous figure in the imperial court, the Zhao Song government obviously trusted him a lot more and even summoned him to attend some imperial discussions.

Whether it was the layered planning for pacification and deterrence of the Tang territory in the south of the Yangtze River led by Prime Minister Zhao Pu, or the strategic conception of attacking Liu Han led by Cao Bin, the level of professionalism in both civil and military affairs opened Qian Chu's eyes.

In the end, thousands of thoughts converged into one sigh:
Fortunately, I didn't listen to Li Yu's suggestion at that time. Seriously speaking, who doesn't understand the principle of lips and teeth? But which one is the lip and which one is the tooth, the Nanyue Kingdom or the Jiangnan Tang?

Li Yu said it nicely. He would use the grain and grass of Nanyue to aid the south of the Yangtze River and gather elite soldiers to fight against Zhao Song. The northerners were not accustomed to the southern land and it was difficult to transport grain and grass, so it would be difficult to fight for a long time. If they defended firmly, they would win.

But as for Cao Bin's strategy to attack Jiangnan Tang since last year, Qian Chu couldn't figure out where the elite soldiers of Jiangnan Tang were.

On the contrary, the Zhao Song imperial army was invincible and won every battle.

After participating in several imperial consultations, Qian Chu felt from the bottom of his heart that even if he joined forces with Li Yu, failure was only a matter of time.

The gap between the two sides was not just one, but comprehensive. Moreover, from the strategic conception of the Zhao Song officials, the Song Dynasty did not leave anyone with the option of living in peace from the beginning. They either voluntarily offered land to serve the Song Dynasty, or were conquered by the Song Dynasty's imperial army and then slowly managed.

It was also for this reason that Qian Chu suddenly developed some admiration for Master Kong Jiong:

With such a powerful imperial army, such an able prime minister, such wise generals, and such a prosperous national situation, he was able to ruin the country and reduce its strength to a precarious position. His talent is extraordinary.

As for what Guangmu said about him and Li Yu not having a happy ending, there must be some vague relationship between them...

Anyway, I will live in Bianliang for the rest of my life, so I can go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense whenever I want. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to interact with each other, and there is still a long way to go.

As for Li Yu...Qian Chu could only express sympathy for him.

After all, it was this petty-minded Li Congjia who had a quarrel with him last time and spent a huge sum of money to buy the Lixian house.

Don’t you think that a house that is sold solemnly by the Zhao Song government could possibly be cheap?

In the end, the family fortune of the King of Jiangnan was almost wiped out. It was the emperor who finally left some money for Li Yu out of caring for him. Otherwise, there would have been no money even to buy furniture for the Lixian House.

However, it seems that it is precisely because of this that I have recently heard that Li Yu has been living in seclusion in that house where he spent huge sums of money and working hard on literary creation. According to the gossip of officials, Li Yu has even begun to try to imitate the Yuan opera and engage in miscellaneous creation in advance, and all this is for the sake of making money.

Looking at the hardworking appearance of this half-old friend of his, Qian Chu was a little confused for a moment.

Is it better to create a piece of writing with the mindset of having your name recorded in history?
Or is it that the mixed life created with the idea of ​​making money to pay off debts is better?

Qian Chu said he would wait and see.

"Wende? Wende?"

Zhao Kuangyin's call instantly brought Qian Chu back to his senses from his reverie, and he instantly remembered that he was attending a meeting to discuss the attack on Liu Han.

It was all because Cao Bin had just described the strategy of attacking Hedong in too much detail. Even with the help of a detailed map, it still made Qian Chu feel drowsy and his thoughts wandered.

After all, logically speaking, he was not very interested in military formations, and he was even more unfamiliar with the Hedong area.

Seeing Qian Chu's confused look after he came to his senses, Zhao Kuangyin did not get angry. After all, he did not expect Qian Chu to do anything to capture the Northern Han hidden in the mountains. He was more concerned about another direction, so he repeated the question:
"Wen De, do you have any idea about stopping the Khitan from invading Hebei?"

There was a map with a very clear battle situation, and Qian Chu, who was most familiar with the maritime merchants, almost subconsciously said:
"In my opinion, the only way to manage Liaodong is by sea."
