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

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard all day, please rest quickly."

"Your Majesty, let's go see the people outside the city."

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji also retreated.

Li Shimin sat on the stool and closed his eyes.
.
…….….….….….
Pei House.

Xiao Yu and the representatives of the aristocratic families have not left yet.

They were enjoying tea and drinking, quietly waiting for the good news about Pei Ji.

After all, if Pei Ji doesn't come back, the result cannot be finalized, and they have no intention of going back.

"Don't worry, Xiao Siqing, come and have a drink. His Majesty is now forced to do this. What room for bargaining does he have? Haha." The representative of the Lu family said with a smile.

Xiao Yu raised his head and smiled: "Shilang Lu was joking. I'm not worried, I'm just a little tired. There's nothing to worry about."

"But speaking of it... Pei Sikong has been missing for a long time, why hasn't he come back?"

Xiao Yu glanced outside.

"I'm afraid that Pei Sikong was left behind by His Majesty. We have helped His Majesty resolve these matters. Wouldn't His Majesty be overjoyed? It's not impossible to drag Pei Sikong to drink." Representative Lu said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they all smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Li Shimin is really at the end of his rope now. Pei Sikong's arrival brings hope."

"Our clan really helped Li Shimin this time."

"Haha, who says it's not the case? Therefore, it is appropriate for Li Shimin to pay a small price."

"......."

There was so much ease in the room.

Everyone chatted and looked up and down.

They regarded all of this as charity, but they clearly gained huge benefits from it.

at this time,

Pei Ji walked in.

all of a sudden,

Xiao Yu and others came forward to greet him.

They all cupped their fists and congratulated each other.

"Pei Sikong, how are you? Did you come back with a full load?"

"I admire Pei Sikong for being so calm."

"This time, our clan will really feel at ease. Li Shimin won't be able to make any trouble."

"......."

Everyone had preconceived ideas and thought that Pei Ji could not fail.

Pei Ji's eyes were serious.

Slowly scanned the smiling faces in front of him.

did not speak.

The laughter of everyone also subsided quietly.

"Pei Sikong, what's wrong? Are you out of the country?"

Xiao Yu's heart tightened and he quickly asked: "Li Shimin, does he dare not agree?"

Pei Ji sighed: "Promise? There's nothing I can do about it."

the people heard,

You look at me, I look at you.

I don't even know what this means.

Pei Ji took a deep breath, with a bitter look on his face: "Qingzhou has been occupied by the entire territory of Great Yan."

When I thought of these words in the back hall, the surroundings suddenly became silent.

Xiao Yu and others' eyes widened, their breathing became quiet for a moment.

No one spoke, no one spoke.

They just stared at Pei Ji, completely unable to believe it.

Qingzhou was occupied by Dayan?
How can this be?

Qingzhou is right next to Youzhou!

Moreover, how could such a big place disappear so quietly?
so many days,

There is no news at all, this is impossible!
This is really impossible! !
No one could react at all, they were all stunned.

Qingzhou is not a big place.

It was a land with hundreds of thousands of people, countless cities, and villages dotted like hair on a cow. The vast land was enough to become another country, even larger than the area of ​​Great Yan.

And what about Dayan?

Don’t even look at what strength he has!
It's just a small country, what kind of strength does he have?Can we directly and completely occupy Qingzhou without making any noise?

They don't understand!

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Pei Sikong, who did you listen to?"

At this time, the representative of Lu Baiyang's main family, the Lu family, stood up directly.

His voice was frightened and hoarse.

Staring at Pei Ji, his whole body was shaking and numb.

"Pei Sikong, my Lu family has been operating in Qingzhou for many years. Among all the major clans, my Lu family is the most powerful."

"Qingzhou Governor Lu Baiyang is a direct descendant of my Lu family. If such a big thing happens, we will definitely be the first to know, but... now, there is no news at all!"

"Pei Sikong, where did you get this news?"

Lu's representative asked anxiously.

Xiao Yu and others stood nearby, and they all looked at Pei Ji.

The man was right.

Qingzhou Governor Lu Baiyang is from the Lu family. Whenever there is any trouble, the Lu family will definitely be the first to get the news, and the speed will definitely be faster than Chang'an!

Pei Ji snorted coldly.

He looked sideways at the representative of the Lu family.

"Now, I still have the nerve to say that I am the master of Qingzhou. Qingzhou... is ruined by your Lu family!"

"Hiss... Everyone, although our clan has a transcendent status and is far above the common people, we still have to think about it when we do things. Don't go too far and force the people to rebel. For this reason, you Don’t you understand?”

"In the past, it wouldn't matter if you were eating like this, but now, Dayan! There is Dayan!"

"We can no longer act recklessly and treat people as mere commodities. We need to change our ways."

Pei Ji's voice was gloomy. He breathed a long sigh of relief and paused slightly.

He really wants to be nice to the people now.

It’s not because of conscience, but because the family is about to be persecuted.

Just like Su Lian and Ai Meili in later generations, when they were fighting for hegemony, Ai Meili gave away profits to the capitalists, which greatly improved the bottom class and everyone had a good life.

When there is competition, there is fear!
now.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Pei Ji explained everything that happened in Tai Chi Palace today.

all of a sudden.

Xiao Yu and others, including the representatives of the Lu family, all of them were directly trapped!

In an instant,

In the lobby, the chaos just now disappeared without a trace again, as if it was frozen.

The crowd bowed their heads.

Full of bitterness.

I can't say any quibbles at all.Although Hedong Road is the territory of the Lu family, other families more or less have children in Qingzhou.

This...can it all be blamed on the Lu family?

It’s hard to say!

They are all greedy together!

It’s just that!

The locust plague and the Turkic disaster have turned Qingzhou into a hell on earth. The people are about to starve to death and are in danger.

But they showed no mercy or mercy at all. They only asked the court for food.

But….
There is so much food in the granary that I can no longer keep it. I would rather feed it to rats than distribute it to the people.

This time, it was good, and it was directly set up by the people.

Dayan, here we come!
Gudong….
Everyone swallowed hard.

They had no doubts about what Pei Ji said.

Because they know that it is all logical.

He also knows what he, including his own family, looks like.

Those people are indeed greedy.

actually….
I don't blame them. If they were in Qingzhou, they would probably do similar things to these people.

indeed,

As Pei Ji said, it didn't matter before. The Tang family was the only one in the world.

But now,
Unfortunately, another Han country has appeared, Dayan!

Everyone is powerless,

You look at me, I look at you, my face full of bitterness.

Pei Ji took a sip of tea.

He took a breath and spoke slowly.

"At this time, don't say anything else. Things have happened. There is no point in blaming anyone."

"Listen to me, if you still want to preserve the glory of our new clans and protect our rights, then quickly notify all the clan members in Guannei Road and take the initiative to open warehouses to release grain. Isn't it just a little grain? Give it to them! "

"You may suffer some losses now and distribute the food to the people, but this is better than turning Guannai Road, Hebei Road, and Youzhou into the current situation in Qingzhou, right?"

"Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to have enough to eat by then!"

"We... will all become like ordinary people. Do you think so?"

"Datang, we can't mess with it anymore. When things stabilize in the future, we will have ten thousand ways to get it back. You should understand my point, right?"

Walking with you.

Back with both hands.

The voice is dignified.

His face was gloomy.

"Great Yan, not Great Tang!"

"If we really win, you, me, you... will all die! What nonsense clan members, what nonsense century-old inheritance. These have no meaning at all to the social system of Dayan where everyone is equally divided. !”

"Da Yan has no bond with us, and he is not selfish. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't dare to touch us at all!"

"When the time comes, our heads may be cut off by Great Flame and hung outside the city as gifts to the people."

When everyone heard this, they all shrank their heads.

I just feel a chill on the back of my neck.

Is this a threat?
Not!
They knew very well that if Great Yan really came down, what Pei Ji said would almost come true.

That’s the near future!

As for Dayan's concerns, when they lost tens of millions of dollars, each family had already discussed it.

recent,
Their clan members have been looking for opportunities to deal with Dayan and get rid of this dangerous factor.

But there has never been a chance!
Now.The opportunity is right in front of you!
Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Pei Ji looked at them and nodded slightly: "You are right. This time is also an opportunity for us. Your Majesty has mobilized the army of the Sixteenth Guards to go north to get rid of Dayan!"

"However, you know the current situation of the imperial court. It needs food and grass, and we need our help."

"The current situation is the same as more than ten years ago. The court and we can't think about other things for the time being. We have to wait until the Great Flame is extinguished first."

Pei Ji's voice was extremely decisive.

The great inflammation must be removed first!

"Pei Sikong, don't worry, I, the Lu family, will absolutely support this matter!" Lu's representative stood up directly and shouted in a low voice.

After all, Qingzhou is their territory.

If such a big place is really gone, let alone the Fanyang Lu family who will surpass the five surnames and Qiwang in the future, even among the first-class clans, there is probably no place for the Lu family.

From then on, the Lu family of their line could only be ranked among the second-rate clans.

Everyone else rolled their eyes at him.

Now that he is so active, how could everyone not know what he is thinking.

but!
Now is really not the time to argue about this.
Everyone agreed one after another.

"Pei Sikong, don't worry, we know the situation and we will definitely support joining forces with the court!"

"Yes, Pei Sikong, we will wait until Qingzhou is defeated before we talk about anything. I will go back and take this matter back."

"Pei Sikong, take your leave, I'll go back and prepare now!"

"......."

Everyone clasped their fists and left anxiously.

Is this thing too big?
Can't delay!
Now that Qingzhou has just fallen into Dawan's hands, everything is still unstable. Their chances are great, and the price they have to pay is small in comparison.

Must fight fast!

They are not fools. On the contrary, they are the smartest people in Datang.

Representatives Xiao Yu and Lu were the last to leave.

"Hey, what is this? Damn Emperor Yan of Great Xia, I didn't expect that he would have such wild ambitions. His Majesty called us to attack Great Yan before, but unfortunately we didn't respond with all our strength at that time, which led to the failure of the war. I didn't expect that in such a short time, they actually It has reached this point.”

"If we had known this, we should have agreed with His Majesty, fully supported the Northern Expedition, and destroyed Dayan while he was weak!"

There was deep regret in Representative Lu's voice.

"Yes, yes, but it's too late now." Xiao Yu sighed heavily.

"It's not too late." Pei Ji glanced at the two of them: "We still have a chance now. If we can't seize this opportunity, it will be really late."

Representatives Xiao Yu and Lu looked at each other and nodded.

The two of them also said goodbye,
In an instant,
Chang'an is in chaos.

This left the people of Chang'an a little confused.
Yesterday was fine, but it was just a night. Jinwu Guard, Qianniu Guard, Zuo Wuwei, You Wuwei...
All these armies are on the move!
The atmosphere is tense.

Depressing!
"What's going on? Why did the army suddenly move in one night? What happened outside? Are the Turks coming down again?"

"I don't know, what happened? The Jinwu Guards and other armies have been dispatched, and there are even traces of black armored cavalry outside the city."

"Hiss... The last time the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry went out was the incident in Chuhe Village two years ago. Could it be that this time, the Turks are really moving south again? Damn it, the Turks are trying to take advantage of the locust plague in the Tang Dynasty. Attack me, the Tang Dynasty, you damn thing!"

"Yes, there are still so many refugees outside Chang'an, and the court's relief efforts have not yet been completed. What is going on?"

"There has been a war, and there is going to be a war again. The court has no food. Can it be won?"

"This battle... must be with the Turks, right? Apart from the Turks, where else can we, the Tang Dynasty, pay so much attention to it? Alas, the locust plague has not subsided yet, and the war has started again. Why is the Tang Dynasty in such trouble?"

"Hey, what nonsense Turks, I heard some rumors, it's not Turks, it's Dayan! Dayan seems to have taken over our Qingzhou!"

"What the hell? Great Yan? It's impossible. Qingzhou is so big that it can't be occupied casually. How dare they Daxia? How big of a place are they?"
