The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

What Li Xiang did north of the Yangtze River soon became known to most people in the country as these slaves returned home. Tang Taizong himself was also excited to hear it. If it was possible, he really wanted to He wanted to go to the front line in person, but thinking about what he had done in the past, Li Shimin really had no shame in sharing the credit with his grandson.

There are two other countries on the peninsula, Silla and Baekje, and they both received two letters of credence at the same time.

One is a letter of credence from Goguryeo asking for help. The letter can express sincerity and hope that the two countries can send troops to defend the Datong River defense line together.

They elaborated on what Li Xiang was doing north of the Datong River. If the defense line of the Datong River was breached, the Tang army would come from north to south, and Silla and Baekje would not have good results at that time.

Another letter of credence came from Chang'an City. Li Shimin asked them to stand still. This would ensure their peace for the rest of their lives, but both countries had to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

On the seventh day after receiving the letter of credence, the Silla Kingdom sent people to board the sea ship to Chang'an. A total of four groups of envoys were sent out, mainly because sea ships in this era were too easy to capsize, even if they sent four It is possible that only one group of messengers will arrive.

After waiting and watching for two days, Baekje also sent envoys to Datang. Both countries disagreed with Goguryeo's request for help. They are not fools. We are all on the peninsula. The country is small and the people are weak. Even if each country sends 50,000 troops, plus the remaining troops of Goguryeo, can they withstand the attack of the Tang army?

There are also many capable people in these two countries. They sent people to learn about the battlefield in the north. The Tang army swept through all the cities of Goguryeo north of the Datong River almost effortlessly. You must know that Goguryeo is stuck in Those places cost a lot of money, but even the Tang army did not stop them for a month. If we stand on the side of Goguryeo, then we should also wait for the taste of longevity.

Although the surface of the Datong River is wide, it will soon enter autumn. In two or three months, the Datong River will freeze. At that time, thousands of troops and horses can pass through, and the natural dangers that Goguryeo relies on for survival will be gone. , they still want to resist the Tang army, just dream!

After the King of Goguryeo learned the news, he scolded these two countries in the main hall for not having a long-term vision. After the Tang army came, you two countries would have to be slaves. If it were the past, he might have divided his forces. Attacking these two countries, after all, he usually bullies them. Today he will occupy a city and tomorrow he will kill a few of your people. But now that the people in the north are in crisis, he no longer has the extra troops to do this.

Gaeyuan Suwen, the prime minister of Goryeo, was finally scared. He originally thought that the Tang Dynasty was just for revenge. If it could occupy the land north of the Datong River, the Tang Dynasty would definitely withdraw its troops, but now news came from Chang'an and the front line. , the Tang army wanted to fight them to the death.

On this issue, what Li Xiang fears most is that Li Shimin becomes soft-hearted. If he becomes soft-hearted, we will not be able to occupy the peninsula. Li Xiang knows that the strategic location of the peninsula is very important. If it is not in our hands, , then there will always be a dark cloud hanging over the Northeast.

Li Xiang also has a long-term strategy. After we occupy the peninsula, the ships exchanged in the system will be useful. They are two-story gunboats. When they are exchanged, won't Fuso belong to us?

After occupying Fuso, Li Xiang can use this as a starting point to spread to the entire Pacific...

Tang military camp.

"Your Highness, according to your instructions, more than 70 of our spies have crossed the river. The night passed yesterday, and the news should come back recently."

Niu Jinda is reporting to Li Xiang in the tent. They all have spies inside Goguryeo, but very little news has come through during this period. They must have all been discovered by the Goguryeo people. Nowadays, Goguryeo is in a state of turmoil. Even if they were slightly suspicious, King Li would put these people in jail or even kill them outright.

So in this case, Li Xiang must arrange for a new batch of spies to enter Goguryeo. Seeing that there are still two months to go, we can cross the river. If we don't have intelligence after crossing the river, then we will be blind. and deaf.

Although the survival rate of sending people over now is not high, and they may even hit the muzzle of the gun, Li Xiang had to make such a decision in order for the army to advance quickly.

"I hope they can all be safe. If someone dies for the country, their family members must take care of it to the end."

Li Xiang looked at the Datong River in the distance and said, after Goguryeo is captured, this place will have to be renamed the Yalu River, bullshit Datong River.

"How's the land auction going?"

Li Xiang has always remembered this incident because the land around it is so fertile. In the 21st century, this was the base of my country's commercial grain. It can be said that a quarter of the grain was grown. If it could be done in advance, If we plant it, then our country's population peak may come earlier. The world has not yet been divided up. The more people we have, the more land we occupy.

"Zhi Da Bao from all over the country has already started this matter, but many people are not very interested in this place. We can only divide the land into small pieces. Now each piece of land is about 50 acres, and it has been sold. More than 30,000 acres."

Listening to Su Dingfang's report, Li Xiang frowned. The total land suitable for farming here is estimated to be one to two hundred million acres. Although most of it is still in the Great Northern Wilderness, as long as there are people, it can be mined. Nowadays Just over 30,000 acres were sold, which is simply too bad.

"Grinding..."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, a Goguryeo beauty next to him had already started working. This person was the daughter of a Goguryeo minister. Li Xiang kept this person by his side because of this person and a movie for later generations. The celebrities are more similar. He once filmed a TV series that was very popular in China, and it was you from that star. That's why Li Xiang kept this person and sent the unattractive royal daughter to Li Shimin.

Anyway, what Li Shimin wants is status, and what we want is appearance. Our pursuits are different, and there is no quarrel between us. It just so happens that both my grandfather and grandson are happy...
