Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"We can negotiate any conditions! Ask those clans what conditions they have."

Li Shimin stared at Xiao Yu.

A noble family.

I never deal with them.

But this time, Datang really couldn't survive it.

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and stood up quickly.

"Your Majesty, no one knows how much food they have, but I think it is definitely not much. After all, many clans have suffered huge losses before, and now they must be unable to make ends meet."

"But! Your Majesty, in that case, I am still willing to go!"

"I will go and beg them. After all, the people come first, and coupled with His Majesty's sincerity, I feel that they will definitely be considerate of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty, and the court. It is not difficult to squeeze in and survive this locust plague together! "

Xiao Yu said quickly.

His face pretended to be extremely difficult, and he was going through fire and water.

but!
But deep down in my heart, I was really happy.

He never expected that God would give the clan such a good opportunity.

It seems.

There is somewhere to make up for the losses suffered in Great Yan.

There was also the so-called second imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty. They could also take advantage of this opportunity and kill it directly.

The food is in their hands!
They have complete initiative.

Li Shimin had to agree to some conditions even if he didn't agree.

Li Shimin looked at him and nodded.

"Then...thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiao Si."

"go quickly."

Li Shimin waved his hand and urged.

Xiao Yu hurried away.

"Your Majesty, the noble clans and the others are afraid that they will make a big noise this time. Do we really ask them?"

Du Ruhui looked at Xiao Yu's back with unwillingness in his eyes.

He was actually planning to propose retirement during this period, but now the locust plague is coming, so Du Ruhui plans to wait until this period of time passes before mentioning it.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

After a long time, he shook his head.

"Otherwise, what else can we do?"

"The times are bad, but the right time, place, and people are all in the hands of the family."

"Hey... This locust plague doesn't come sooner or later. Why does it come at this time? It's so long in the sky, why is it less important to me?"

Li Shimin fell onto the stool.

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and the others were silent.

"This time, Guannai Road, Youzhou and even Qingzhou will be affected. I am not worried about other places, only Qingzhou and Youzhou."

"If we don't handle it well, there will really be big trouble."

Li Shimin stared blankly at the deep night outside Tai Chi Palace, feeling a little lost and helpless.

For a moment, there was silence in Tai Chi Palace.

The next day, early in the morning.

Locust plague.

It's very close to Chang'an.

There were even scattered locusts falling into Chang'an.

at the same time.

in the palace.

Li Shimin took Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others to stand in front of Tai Chi Palace.

They looked up at the sky.

Today, the weather is nice.

In early autumn, the sky is always so high and crisp, the clouds are clear, the wind is clear, and the blue sky is so beautiful that it is not like the human world, like a painting.

but.

On such a beautiful painting, it is very out of place, with a few black spots flying across from time to time.

This is the vanguard of the locust swarm.

It's like a little breakfast before the storm.

this night.

Li Shimin took them to Tai Chi Palace and sat and discussed all night.

Although I have no clue,

But... they couldn't sleep at all.

Everyone's breathing was rapid.

Everyone's eyes were blood red.

Everyone's chest also exploded.

All they can do now is wait for the locust plague to happen and watch the locust plague appear.

Otherwise, what else can they do?
.
…………………….
Changan.

Chaos.

cry.

cry.

scolding.

There is also the buzzing sound of locust swarms as they fly past.

This time.

If you look down from the sky, Chang'an City seems to be swallowed up by a black cloud.

a family.

The wife and daughter were hiding in the room.

The man of this family stood in the yard with a broom in his hand, like a god of war, trying to destroy these intruders.

"Damn thing, my crops!"

"Go, go, go! Don't eat my crops!"

"Ah ah ah, if you want to eat, just eat me, eat me, please, please let go of my crops!"

"Master Locust, our whole family, young and old, are all counting on crops to survive. Ahh! Locust, are you really afraid of you? Die, die!"

"......."

The man in the yard seemed possessed.

The broom in his hand kept flapping, and locusts kept dying in his hands.

However, a drop in the bucket.

The man cried and laughed.

At last.

I exhausted all my strength and fell to the ground paralyzed, watching helplessly as the locusts ate up all the vegetables planted in the yard.

The man was extremely embarrassed.

After all, the locusts did not stop in Chang'an. After all, there were no crops in Chang'an. After two or three hours, the locusts had already rushed towards Youzhou and Qingzhou.

The man's body was covered with green juice.

This is the blood of locusts.

The yard was in a mess.

The man was devastated.

The door also opened at this time.

"Ooooh, daddy, daddy!"

"Dad, are you okay?"

The children and wife rushed out, scared and hugging the man worriedly.

The man exhaled heavily,

He looked at his wife and daughter in his arms and stood up with difficulty.

"Stand there, don't go out yet."

"I... I went out to take a look. The locust plague is coming. There should be a place to store food at the court. I got there late and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

The man comforted the two of them and walked outside.
.
…………………….
Inside Chang'an City.

Chaos.

Zhuque Street was even more crowded.

In front of the imperial city gate, all the major grain shops in Chang'an were full of people.

but?
There were no surprises. The imperial city gates were closed, and the doors of the major grain stores were also closed.

"The damn locust plague is over! It's over now. I only have half a bag of rice left, but my family is so talkative, what can I do?"

"Mom, you still have rice, but my house has nothing. Who knew the locust plague would come? If I had known, I would have stocked up on food!"

"This group of grain dealers who gave birth to babies without buttholes, they closed the door early during last year's disaster and raised prices like crazy, and now this damn, hahaha, they are just going to drive us to death!" "Hahaha, now You want to buy their food? You want to eat it! Have you heard? Just a few months ago, the clan members were tricked by Great Yan, and the total amount was tens of millions. I guess they are very happy now. , these guys must take the opportunity to make back all the money they lost!"

"I've heard about it too. What should we do with these damn things? The court still doesn't have an explanation!"

"Nine times out of ten, the court will have no food. It was difficult for the court last year. This year, the locust plague came just after the autumn harvest. Damn it!"

"Hey, actually, when we think about our inner-passage road, it's relatively easy. In Chang'an, at least we won't starve to death, but in Youzhou and Qingzhou, I'm afraid it's all over! It's all over!"

"Yes, we can starve for a few days at most, but we won't die. But it's really over there. I don't know what your Majesty will do."

"The people over there are really miserable."

"Who says it's not? Don't tell me, thinking about Youzhou and Qingzhou, I actually feel better."

"......."

The people of Chang'an stood on the streets, hoping to find a solution.

chaos!
chaos!
chaos!
There is absolutely no order in Chang'an now.

There have even been cases of robbery and theft in many places.

Under the catastrophe, all kinds of things emerged.
.
…….….….….….
Xiao House.

Xiao Yu was eating roasted mutton comfortably.

Juice on hand, glass after glass.

After he came back from the imperial city last night, he went straight to bed.

Is this not?

just woke up!

Then he ordered his servants to serve roasted mutton and juice, which was a very comfortable meal.

As for going to the clan to discuss it.

Not urgent.

No hurries?
Now, it's just the beginning.

To talk about this matter, we have to wait ten days and a half, let the court make the people all anxious, and then the clan can come forward. Only in this way can the benefits be truly maximized.

"Sir, Pei Sikong and Patriarch Lu, the head of the Lu family in Fan Yang, are here."

At this time, the steward respectfully reported.

"Oh? Let them in."

Xiao Yu stood up to greet him.

Pei Ji and the head of the Lu family were carried directly to the door in sedan chairs.

Although the locusts were over, the servants of the Xiao Mansion began to clean up, but they have not been cleaned up yet, and the roads are full of locusts.

Pei Ji and the head of the Lu family will naturally not fall to the ground.

Pei Ji and the head of the Lu family got off the sedan and went directly to the door.

"Oh, Pei Sikong, the head of the Lu family, hahaha..."

"You two have rosy faces. You have come here with thorough self-cultivation. Congratulations! Congratulations! Come on, come in and taste my roasted mutton together!"

Xiao Yu laughed and invited the two of them to come out.

is not that right.

Pei Ji and the head of the Lu family are really happy now.

The dying look before had completely disappeared.

Actually speaking.

Two or three days ago, the two of them were still lying in bed, but when they heard that the locust plague was coming, they jumped out of bed.

Full of strength throughout the body.

Extremely excited and excited!
It is easier to use than the best doctors in Chang'an City.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Siqing, this tastes delicious!"

"Hahaha, Xiao Siqing, I wonder what your majesty said?"

The two sat down and after taking two bites of the mutton, they asked directly.

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and recounted what happened last night.

"Really? Okay, okay, I didn't expect that Admiral Tiance would take the initiative to come to us this time."

"In that case, this time our clan will take a good piece of meat from the imperial court!"

Pei Ji became even more excited when he heard this.

"Yes, there is also the imperial examination. I just took this opportunity to ask Admiral Tiance to cancel it. In this way, I want to see what those scholars are like, hahaha! In the past few days, there are some scholars from poor families in the city. It’s active.”

"Everyone, they really thought they were going to take the high school imperial examination."

The head of the Lu family nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Yu took his time and filled a large bowl of meat for the two of them.

"The two heads of the family are very serious about what they say."

"But we are not in a hurry about this matter. I think we will talk about it in a few days."

Pei Ji nodded: "Yes, yes, Xiao Siqing is right. We are not in a hurry now. Why should we be in a hurry? It is Li Shimin who should be anxious. When the time comes, when he begs us, he will have to listen to us in everything!"

"Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, what a wonderful idea, Xiao Siqing, come on, come on, have a drink! Let's have a drink!"

"This roasted mutton is really delicious. Regardless of this, leave Li Shimin alone for now and wait until they are in a hurry. Hahaha!"

"Xiao Siqing, come here, I respect you! Let's all join together!"

"......."

in the room.

Extremely enjoyable.

Change the cup.

Good wine is here.

Desserts are also here.

There are also other delicious dishes, all served one by one.

The three of them were excited and in a good mood.

………………………….
Imperial City.

Li Shimin sat on the steps dejectedly.

He looked at everything in front of him, his whole person seemed to be petrified, and he was dumbfounded.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others also felt numb all over.

"Your Majesty, cheer up! Our top priority now is to think about how to provide disaster relief!"

"Here, your majesty and veterans can hear the shouts of the people of Chang'an. We can't sit still and wait for death."

Fang Xuanling said helplessly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the people of Chang'an Pass and the people of Youzhou and Qingzhou are all waiting for you, Your Majesty. We need to take action."

Du Ruhui also said.

Li Shimin looked up at the two of them blankly and nodded, but now he just felt numb all over, he just wanted to sleep and didn't want to care about anything else.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

But at this moment, Li Junxian walked up quickly.

every step.

Many locusts will be trampled to death, and a large amount of juice will burst out, crackling, and the sound will be loud.

"Something happened, Your Majesty! Urgent report from the border!"

Li Junxian's eyes were anxious.

Li Shimin was confused and filled with fear: "The Turks...are the Turks coming again?"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others also stared at Li Junxian.

Li Junxian sighed: "Yes, Your Majesty, not only the Turks, but also the Great Yan have sent troops."

boom! !

As soon as these words came out, it was like five thunderbolts.

Li Shimin felt that he could no longer take a breath.

While you are sick it kills you.

Great Yan and Turk, this move is so wonderful!
"Tujue, he dares to betray the covenant!"

Li Jing's eyes were scarlet.

Li Junxian said: "He hasn't attacked yet. According to urgent reports, both Dayan and Turks have deployed heavy troops near the border. Their intentions are unknown."

Li Jing said angrily: "We are arranging our troops at this juncture just to do something. Damn Turks! How dare he do this!!"

Li Jing hated the Turks even more.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, was even more afraid of Dayan.

He saw with his own eyes how Great Yan was able to force Datang to this point step by step without even losing a fight.

Compared with the simple-minded Turks and Jieli Khan, Dayan is obviously more terrifying.

"Dayan, Dayan and the others are going south? Are they going to attack our country, the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but said.

Kind of can't believe it.

With the Great Yan surrounded by enemies, how dare you take the initiative to attack?
Are you really... so arrogant?
Why should they! !

Could it be that... just relying on the tens of millions of dollars obtained?
But when they attack the Tang Dynasty, aren't they afraid that Goguryeo, Silla and other countries will backstab them in the near future?
