Datang first village

An incense burner was placed in front of the long wooden box.

Under Qiu Xiang's service, Li Yuanxing put on the simple robes of King Qin.If you want to wear that complicated set, I'm afraid it will take about half an hour in modern times.

Li Yun didn't understand at all, but he didn't know why King Qin was so formal.

Li Yuanxing walked up to the wooden box and gave a long bow, truly bowing ninety degrees, bowing to the end.After maintaining it for at least half a minute, he straightened up.

"Your Highness!" Li Yun was even more puzzled.

Li Yuanxing gently opened the box, and it was the broken bow.

"A bow should belong to the Li family of Longxi. This king brought it out on purpose, but this bow belongs to the Li family of Longxi, but it cannot be placed in the Li family of Longxi. This bow will be placed next to the Zhenhun Pagoda. It was bestowed by Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty. The Han Fei general was wide, and later Li Ling took this bow to conquer the Huns, and the results don’t need to be said by the king, it is recorded in the history books!”

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he turned around and stood aside, standing sideways.

Li Yun straightened his clothes immediately, bowed formally, then knelt down, bowed three times and bowed nine times.His eldest grandson Li Yingchi knelt on the ground and did not get up in the end.

Such things should definitely be placed in the Li family's ancestral hall and be enshrined by the Li family forever.

"Is it glory, or sadness, or humiliation. Li Ling is the only one who knows best what he has experienced. He surrendered! Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty gave him a heavy responsibility. He is a hero, but he will not surrender." There are you again. This king has checked, and the Dunhuang house is the descendant of Li Ling."

Li Yun bowed to Li Yuanxing.

"Shen Guogong shouldn't give gifts to the king, saying that I am your grandson-in-law in terms of the family. At this time, we are talking about Li's family affairs. It doesn't matter whether I, Li Yuanxing, belong to the Li family, or the Li family of Longxi, or just my surname. Li. At this time, it is not the Qin King of the Tang Dynasty, but me, Li Yuanxing, myself!"

Li Yun didn't speak, but his eyes became sharper.

Li Yuanxing continued: "Let's look at the problem from another angle, why Li Ling lost."

"Fight hard and lose! My descendants of the Li family would like to be ashamed of our ancestors!" Li Yingchi, who was kneeling on the ground, was almost shouting.

Li Yuanxing shook his head lightly.

Seeing Li Yuanxing shaking his head, Li Yun's heart tightened.

"Shen Guogong..." Li Yuanxing changed his voice and shouted, "Grandfather, what do you say?"

"The weather was bad. There was wind and sand in the desert. Then it snowed and the road was difficult. The terrain was not good enough, and it was already too deep to go thousands of miles north. The terrain was good for the Huns but not good for the Han army. There was no harmony among the people, and the army was alone. How can we win in the face of ten times the enemy?" Li Yun's tone was trembling.

Li Yuanxing asked: "Is there any more? Even disrespectful words are acceptable!"

"No more." Li Yun said very resolutely.

Really gone?Li Yuanxing stared at Li Yun's eagle-like eyes, he wanted to see Li Yun's real thoughts from Li Yun's eyes.But Li Yuanxing was disappointed, Li Yun was still analyzing the problem from the perspective of a general.Perhaps, the ancients did not dare to doubt the emperor's decision.

Li Yuanxing looked at the bow, and said softly: "When Li Ling was going on an expedition, he was doomed to fight to the death!"

"Your Highness, please clarify!" Li Yun asked sincerely.

"Three o'clock!" After Li Yuanxing stretched out three fingers, his gaze turned to Qiuxiang: "Go and record."

"Please let me record it!" Li Yingchi kowtowed heavily in front of Li Yuanxing. You must know that Li Ling has been infamous for hundreds of years. As his descendant, he is willing to wash away that shame with blood.

After Li Yuanxing saw that Li Yingchi was ready, he began to say: "The first is a fatal mistake. During the Battle of Li Ling, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the most conceited, he chose the most unsuitable fighter to start the war, and he did not Sufficient preparations, no perfect plan, even arrogant enough to think that his army can win the battle, never considered failure, or how to guarantee victory. At least he did not think rigorously!"

Li Yingchi's hands were trembling, he couldn't hold the pen because of the trembling when he heard these words.

"Are you the man of the Li family?" Li Yun snorted coldly.

Li Yingchi fiercely bit his wrist hard, the blood dripped down, but his hand stopped trembling.Quickly recorded Li Yuanxing's words.

He was afraid because Li Yuanxing was criticizing a great emperor.

"The second point is the factional disputes above the court. The mutual entrapment and strife within the Han court doomed Li Ling to be absolutely impossible to slow down. This is not the fault of one person, but the fault of most of the courtiers."

"The third point is Li Ling's troops. A ridiculous 5000 infantrymen dare to go deep into the grassland. Is he loyal, or is he fighting against others, or is unable to resist. Sending troops is a mistake. This is not a defensive battle, not a deadly battle An impossible war, just an expedition that should never have existed."

Li Yingchi finished writing, jumped out from behind the case, and kowtowed heavily in front of Li Yuanxing again.

"To sum up, we need to figure out the order. Li Ling was captured first, and then Shan Yu used a tactic to slander Li Ling for surrendering. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che killed his whole family. Li Ling was homeless and forced to surrender. In addition, Li Ling was forced to surrender with [-] infantry fought against [-] cavalry of the Xiongnu without defeat, and after several days and nights, they were exhausted before they were captured."

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Li Yingchi kowtowed heavily again.

But when Li Yuanxing mentioned it unexpectedly, Li Jun actually wanted to kneel down, and Li Yuanxing hurried to help.

"Why?" Li Yuanxing was puzzled.

"This is not to thank His Highness for proving the ancestors of the Li family, but to plead guilty, plead guilty!" Li Yun's eyes became sharper. He lived to be 60 years old and experienced many troubles.When he was young, his uncle wanted to kill him to seize the throne, and when his father died when he was young, he inherited the title of his grandfather.

They fought in the Great Sui Dynasty and also in the early Tang Dynasty.

He has fought with others, he has fought with the court.

After Li Yuanxing helped Li Yun up, Li Yun said: "This is an apology. I was too impatient. I was just thinking about how to get His Highness to send troops. As long as His Highness sends troops, everything can be wiped out. That King Gaochang is hateful, and the interests of our family are being overthrown." He forcibly snatched away [-]% and millions of benefits every year!"

"Li Ling's style failed. Remember this word, personally send this broken bow to Chang'an, and enshrine it next to the Zhenhun Pagoda. Qinghe Cui took out the IOU from that year, asked my father to give in, and put pressure on me by the way. Finally said Speaking of it, it is a matter of profit. No one can use the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to die, anyone. Not the king, nor the brother of the emperor. The battle to defend the homeland!"

"I waited for the family to be wrong."

"King Gaochang, it's just for us to save money. After a few years, he disappeared once. If the time is not up, this king will not go to war. No one should mention the war."

"Your Highness, the old minister has the guts to ask, what about the expedition to Goguryeo?"

"This matter, let's calculate the gains and losses."

"All ears!" Li Yun's tone was much more respectful than when he first met Li Yuanxing.Now it's time to talk about state affairs, it's nothing for Li Yuanxing to pretend to be the King of Qin.Li Yun's mentality has also been corrected at this time, and he regards himself as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanxing asked Li Jun to sit down and asked Qiuxiang to bring tea before he said: "The original plan was to deploy troops in the winter of the second year of Zhenguan and go to war in the early spring of the third year of Zhenguan. Totally ready. Definitely a must-win battle!"

"Let's fight one year ahead of schedule, Your Highness, please explain!"

"Not only the Hedong family, but also the Guanzhong family, the Daibei family, etc., the entire Datang family is staring at the interests of Liaodong, and they can't swallow it immediately. For the first battle in April next year, this king mobilized the entire Qin king All the power of Zhuang. Originally, these powers were used for other purposes. You must know that at the beginning of the second year of Zhenguan, when the king went out, there would be large-scale locust plagues in at least [-] states. The king wanted to build water power, transform Good land."

"How big is the loss?"

"I haven't calculated it carefully, but there are approximate values. The entire Hedong Road, the southern part of Hebei Road, and Guanzhong. The 8000 million mu of fertile land will appear at least one year later, and when dealing with the locust plague, 4000 million dans of grain will be consumed. If not Fighting, this is the fall. What does grandfather think of this loss?"

Li Yuanxing shook his head with a wry smile, and Qiuxiang quickly handed him a cigarette.

Li Yun's face turned pale when he heard that, and he was about to leave his seat and kneel to plead guilty on the spot.

And Li Yingchi just knelt and never got up.

The more he listened, the more startled he became, and the more he listened, the more he was convinced. He planned to win the battle, the victory of the Great Tang Dynasty planned by King Qin.

The difference between heaven and earth!

Li Yuanxing supported Li Yun: "Just now we calculated losses, and then we calculated gains. In fact, this account is not easy to calculate. If the aristocratic families are interested, come to Qinwangzhuang during the Chinese New Year. Let's sit down and calculate the gains and losses."

"Your Highness, please continue."

"Because of the needs of the war, the output of refined steel and cement has been increased. The advantage is that the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang can be repaired one year in advance. And Liaodong will also build steel plants and cement plants. This can speed up the Tang Dynasty. The development of the workshop industry. However, there is still not enough food in the Tang Dynasty, so there are gains and losses. "

Li Yun nodded very seriously, and he also wanted to understand that this game will be played in Goguryeo in advance.Li Yuanxing was also a little passive, but from the perspective of gain and loss, Li Yuanxing didn't figure it out.That's why he chose to fight. If it was obvious that he was at a disadvantage, Li Yuanxing definitely didn't care about the pressure from the family.

"Please continue, Your Highness!"

"Let's talk about Liaodong, where the output of grain is huge. And the medicinal materials are extremely rich, plus ginseng can be planted artificially. And a fatal suppression of Goguryeo. So, I really don't know how to balance this. On the one hand is my agriculture. The expansion plan, on the one hand, is the expansion of the factory industry and the expansion of the pharmaceutical industry."

Li Yuanxing smiled.

"However, Gao Chang can't move. It would be a failure to move Gao Chang now. So His Highness avoided it!"

"That's right! But if I don't even move Goguryeo, I'm afraid the aristocratic family will try their best to exert pressure." (To be continued.)
