Tang Dynasty.
Yeah...yeah, yeah!
The Tang Dynasty was so majestic that even though it was bullied by the Turks, how could a small Yan Kingdom be so arrogant?
Li Shimin was a proud emperor.
He never failed in his military career and saved the Tang Dynasty from danger several times. He was made undefeated by the Supreme Emperor and could only be given the title of General Tiance.
He has so much glory.
Countless.
so.
How can we tolerate that a small country dared to invade the Tang Dynasty after the Turks!
beat!
This battle must be fought!
This is his first year in office.
Li Shimin wanted to let the Yan Kingdom know, and also let the Turks and the people of the Tang Dynasty see that he, Li Shimin! Not a cowardly king!
This battle is of great significance.
It was Li Shimin who took the initiative to start a war against an enemy country for the first time after he came to power. Countless eyes in the Tang Dynasty, including the Turks and other countries, must be watching.
Therefore, this battle must be won!
Even better!
It is most appropriate to use the small Yan Kingdom as his battle to make his name known.
As for the selection of generals, Li Shimin thought about it for several days and finally decided on Cheng Yaojin.
He also loves this tiger general very much.
This devil incarnate seems to be big and muscular, and he speaks without restraint, as if he has no rules of etiquette.
But in fact, Li Shimin knew very well that Cheng Yaojin was a typical tough guy on the outside, but very delicate on the inside.
It is similar to what is said in Xiehouyu, Zhang Fei threads a needle, there is a thick part and a thin part.
Cheng Yaojin is such a person. This guy is more calculating than anyone else and is full of weird ideas.
When the Tang Dynasty ruled the world, Cheng Yaojin played a lot of role in it, making some ingenious plots, which also benefited the Tang army a lot.
Therefore, Li Shimin was relieved to leave him to lead the army.
"Your Majesty, although I, Old Cheng, also want to fight, I am not too hasty at this juncture."
Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and continued: "Our country in the Tang Dynasty is still very chaotic. The aftermath of the Turks' southward movement is still there. I am not worried, but they are fighting outwards. Are we still going to fight?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Yes, the Tang Dynasty is in chaos, and the major families have not yet reached an agreement, but! It is precisely because of this that a war is needed! To attract all their attention, and tell them with a perfect victory They, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who succeeded to the throne, are me, I! They are in charge of more than 80% of the army of the Tang Dynasty!"
"With a perfect victory and 80% of the army, I can be at the negotiating table and negotiate with those noble families in a higher position."
"And the Yan Kingdom broke away from the Liang Kingdom, and it repeatedly invaded our border with the Tang Dynasty. Obviously, it has a good reputation and is the most suitable target for war!"
Cheng Yaojinniu's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized: "I see, then I, old Cheng, understand."
"Hahaha, then I, Old Cheng, will fight in this battle! We must fight and severely weaken his Yanguo's majesty!"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Well, Yaojin, you come with me to see the army you want to command. Use this time to get in touch with them more, and then go north to attack the Yan Kingdom."
Li Shimin led Cheng Yaojin away. Along the way, Cheng Yaojin complained about what kind of army he could lead.
And when he came to a school ground and saw all the sergeants in crimson armor, he was shocked.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty! This is the Suzaku Camp, this... this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, your Majesty, aren't they destroyed!"
Subconsciously, Cheng Yaojin took a step back out of fear.
Li Shimin saw this and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Yao Jin, I see you are afraid of becoming such a bear."
"Yes, they are the Suzaku Camp, but! They are... belong to me, the Tang Dynasty, the Suzaku Camp!!"
After finishing his words, before Cheng Yaojin could reply, Li Shimin stepped forward onto the high platform and opened his arms.
Also in an instant.
At the Chang'an version of the Suzaku Camp under the school grounds, all 3,000 soldiers, one by one, one by one, looked neat and tidy, half-kneeling in order.
There was a loud sound in his mouth.
"We from the Suzaku Camp are here to meet His Majesty!"
"We from the Suzaku Camp are here to meet His Majesty!"
"We from the Suzaku Camp are here to meet His Majesty!"
"……."
Rumble….
The voices are neat and tidy, like one person.
This scene was too shocking. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the army, which had been established less than three months ago, could be so elite.
Cheng Yaojin said excitedly: "I'll go, Your Majesty, isn't it? You want me to lead them, are you really or not?"
Being able to command an elite army is every general's lifelong dream. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, how can Cheng Yaojin not be excited!
Moreover, this is the famous Suzaku Camp!
Although it's not King Chu's, the equipment is real! He had long been jealous of King Chu's four elite troops. He used to have a good relationship with King Chu and pestered him to bring one for him, but he was rejected.
But it’s depressing.
"Hahaha, Yaojin, this is the army you will lead to attack Yan Kingdom in the future."
"The Suzaku Camp is good at attacking. We don't have the training methods of the King of Chu, but we also have the offensive tactics of Chang'an. They! They will definitely not be like the Suzaku Camp of the King of Chu!"
"Are you confident in leading them to victory?"
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin with burning eyes.
Cheng Yaojin was so excited that he also half-knelt down: "I... Bah! Your Majesty, Cheng Yaojin will definitely live up to his mission!"
"good good good good!"
Li Shimin said a few words of greeting, and then his eyes seemed to be filled with flames: "It's time to let the world know that their emperor has not been decadent because of the Weishui Alliance."
"Yao Jin, it's up to you to lead the Suzaku Camp to victory and let the world know that the Tang Dynasty is about to rise!"
….….….….….….
the other side.
Jingzhao Mansion.
The two magistrates of Chang'an County and Wannian County were fighting in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
"In Chang'an County, there are 11,000 millet-growing households, which is a thousand more than your Wannian County. These ten cattle must be given to us first!"
"Go away! You already have fifty cattle in Chang'an County, but we only have thirty here. You still want them? You're too greedy."
"Don't talk about these useless things. Anyway, I'm going to settle on these ten cattle!"
"Why do you want it? There are only a hundred or so sweet potato farmers in Wannian County who are planting crops, and they are just waiting for the cattle."
"Then I don't care, you can figure it out on your own. I will take away all the ten cattle today. I have already made an agreement with Mr. Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture."
"I already promised you not to force me to bite someone."
"Come and bite, bite, am I still afraid of you? Huh! If you bite, those cattle in Wannian County will have to pay compensation to me."
"Dream, you want to eat shit!"
"......."
The magistrates of Chang'an County and Wannian County are fragrant.
The two of them were fighting over each other, and no one would give in to the other.
There is no way, there are too few cattle.
This time, millet seeds were distributed according to the location of cultivated land, and all were controlled around Chang'an. Naturally, Wannian County and Chang'an County could not escape.
The scope of these two counties just divides Chang'an and its surroundings.
Therefore, faced with the lack of cattle under their control, sweet potato farmers are eager to replant, and this is what happened.
No one could have imagined that now, two county magistrates would fight over ten cattle.
well….
The more you say, the more tears you will shed.
When spring arrived, the two county magistrates began to frantically investigate how many cattle were left under their jurisdiction.
However, there was no need to worry about the cattle originally.
Ten thousand households of farmers would have 5,000 acres of land.
Simple!
After all, both Chang'an County and Wannian County are large counties, and the amount of cultivated land in the county far exceeds this number.
In the past, there was no delay in spring plowing.
However, who could have imagined that last year when Turkic troops came to the Weishui River, everyone in Chang'an City and the nearby people were in fear. Merchants did not sell rice and vegetables and rushed to run away. As a result, the people could only slaughter cattle for food, and the number of cattle fell sharply.
According to the cattle information registered with the government, I searched for them one by one. I wanted to requisition them, but...
It's okay if you don't see it, but when you see it, it's... horrifying.
If you can find half an ox among a hundred households, you are thankful.
As for those alive, there are even fewer...
At this time, the two county magistrates were completely panicked.
If millet cannot be planted within the stipulated time, the consequences... they can't imagine.
I don’t know how many people will starve to death in the future...
Therefore, when cultivating food, let alone the common people, neither of them allowed any accidents to occur. They had no choice but to go to Jingzhao Mansion to find Jingzhao Mansion Yin!
This is what happened.
"OK OK."
"Stop arguing."
At this time, Jingzhao Mansion Yin Xiaoyu came out.
On the face, with a smile.
"There is news from His Majesty."
"The farming thing can be saved."
Um?
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the magistrates of Chang'an County and Wannian County were shocked.
"Then Xiao Fuyin, what's the cow? Where is the cow?"
The two roared in unison.
Xiao Yu said helplessly: "It's just outside."
"You two, let's go out and take a look."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them let go of his arms and rushed out in a scramble.
ox!
There is a cow!
I can finally plant food!
Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He patted his sleeves and walked out.
But... when the two county magistrates stood at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, looking at the people passing by on both sides, they were suddenly confused.
Where's the cow?
Not even a single cow was seen!
"Xiao Fuyin, Niu Na? Niu Na?"
"Why, there are no cows!"
The Chang'an County Magistrate shouted.
"Yes, Xiao Fuyin, things are in crisis now, you can't trick us like this."
The Wannian County magistrate shouted in agreement.
The voices of these two people also made the people passing by look over.
Hearing the roars of the Chang'an County Magistrate and the Wannian County Magistrate, the people immediately understood that they were coming to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for cattle from Jingzhao Mansion Yin Xiaoyu.
But, where are the cows here?
The people looked at each other and didn't see it.
At the entrance of the empty Jingzhao Mansion, there were only a bunch of things that could not be identified.
Xiao Yu walked out with a wry smile.
He took a deep breath and pursed his lips.
"You two, don't be impatient."
"There are no cattle, but I have found something more useful than cattle."
"The curved shaft plow! The latest agricultural tool from the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty is more effective than any other plowing ox!"
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, pointed at the plows divided into two piles, and said.
Chang'an County Magistrate:? ? ?
Wannian County Magistrate:? ? ?
The two of them looked at Xiao Yu blankly, as if you think we are fools.
What the hell?
Can you say that again?
Is this thing better than a cow?
Are you telling lies with your eyes open?
What the hell is Quyuli?
Qu Yuan Plow Qu Yuan Plow, isn't it just a kind of plow?
Without oxen, how can this plow be used?
"No, Xiao Fuyin, you can't fool me like this. This kind of curved shaft plow cannot be used as a plowing ox."
"This... how about farming?"
The Wannian County magistrate's face fell, and he doubted his life.
To be honest, Xiao Yu felt a little sorry for the two generals under his command.
However, there was nothing he could do.
Today he was about to go to the imperial city to ask Li Shimin to discuss what to do.
Who would have thought that Fang Xuanling and the others would just give this thing to themselves when they came out of the imperial city.
It is said that this is what His Majesty meant.
Your Majesty doesn’t have any cattle!
But the Quyuan plow is enough to replace the cattle!
Even Xiao Yu didn't know what the Quyuanli was used for, but Fang Xuanling forced it here.
There is no other way, I am afraid that there are really not enough cattle, so Xiao Yu can only use Fang Xuanling's words to 'fool' him to fool his general.
"Ahem... Your Majesty has said that this thing is more precious than a farm ox. It's so precious."
"It is said that a curved shaft plow only needs an ox, or even no oxen can be used. Take it away quickly."
"It's much faster than a long straight plow, and it only requires one person. You guys really took advantage of such a huge treasure."
"After all, each of you has doubled your cattle."
"Today, of the ten oxen, each of you has five, which can be used to pull away these plows."
"Go, go, don't disappoint His Majesty."
After Xiao Yu said this, he turned around and retreated.
Damn it, he can't stay any longer.
He didn't even have the nerve to listen to what he said.
Liar, it really is!
Just don’t use a cow!
To put it lightly, how is it possible?
However, since His Majesty has said this, he can only throw the blame away first.
Wow!
When Xiao Yu entered, the door of Jingzhao Mansion's Yamen was immediately closed.
Both Chang'an County Magistrate and Wannian County Magistrate wanted to cry.
Quyuanli!
What are these things, so small, one by one, how can they be useful?
But this is given by His Majesty, you cannot refuse it.
Seeing that Jingzhao Mansion has been closed, Master Chai may have a headache now.
Let’s do this first!
At least, five cattle are coming today!
"Take it away, take it away!"
"Go back, go back!"
"Give these things to farmers."
The Chang'an County Magistrate immediately gave instructions to the clerk who came with him.
do not care.
Anyway, it was given by His Majesty, and I told the farmers the same thing.
I already want the stuff, so at least I have an explanation to the farmers!
Magistrate Wannian naturally understood this truth and made a prompt decision, directly ordering people to take him to deliver errands to the farmers.
The people who gathered around the entrance of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen looked at each other in confusion.
They all heard what Xiao Yu said just now.
Quyuanli?
Your Majesty gave it to you?
Only one person can control a cow?
Is it faster than a long straight plow?
Even without a cow?
What a liar.
How can it be!
The people couldn't believe it. What kind of picture was there for one cow and one person? What's the picture without the cow?
They couldn't imagine it.
For thousands of years, the idea of two cows arguing over each other, that is, two cows and three husbands, has been fixed in their minds.
This has been the case for generations.
They all couldn't believe it when they suddenly met Qu Yuanli who broke their fixed ideas!
"Your Majesty, you have lost your confidence. You are fooling people with this thing. It is still precious. Why is it so precious?"
"That's probably it. I don't know if this year's spring plowing will be possible."
"Hey, I guess a lot of people will starve to death..."
“….…”
The people were talking, their voices a little sad.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Slowly, news spread throughout Chang'an that the two county magistrates came to Jingzhao Mansion to borrow cattle, but were sent away by his Majesty with a pile of rags.
….….….….….….
Guojiacun.
This is a village in Chang'an County.
This is also an important place for growing food, and almost half of the village has been selected.
Without him, it's just because this place is too close to Chang'an, it can be said that it is closely adjacent to Chang'an.
"I wonder if the county magistrate can borrow cattle for farming this time."
"Sigh... There are already farmers in Liujiazhuang next to us, but not even a single household here has cultivated it. It's not going to work like this."
"Who says it's not the case? We can't waste time in spring plowing, but the plowing oxen haven't arrived yet. I'm really worried!"
"Without cattle, how can we plant millet seeds for more than 100 households? The boss of the Ministry of Revenue at that time could have said that we should not delay the time too much, otherwise the seeds will lose their vitality and become dead seedlings!"
"Yes, yes, what can we do! Muramasa, go and urge the county magistrate again. When will you give us cattle?"
"……."
At the head of the village, a group of villagers looked sad and shouted towards the village leader.
The village chief of Guojia Village is an old man who is almost seventy years old.
He is also the venerable person with the longest seniority in Guojiacun.
It is also the backbone of Guojiacun.
Listening to what the farmers said, Muramasa sighed heavily: "Everyone, I'm anxious too, old man. I've already urged you several times."
"Okay, okay, now, now I'll go and urge you again."
Cunzheng stood up, holding a stick, and was about to go to Chang'an County Government again.
When spring plowing comes, it's not just him, it can be said that every village leader in a village that grows food in Chang'an County has almost trampled on the threshold of the county government office.
There is no way, there are no cattle, how can we cultivate this land.
"Hey, look, it's the county magistrate, it's the county magistrate!"
At this moment, suddenly, a young man from Guojia Village suddenly stood up, pointed in the direction of Chang'an, and shouted in surprise.
In an instant, everyone stood up and looked up.
Isn't that right? I saw the county government team coming to kill them in a mighty manner.
When the village masa saw it, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, are there cattle? Are there cattle?"
Muramasa shouted loudly.
The team soon listened in front of Guojiacun.
The Chang'an County Magistrate looked at the young and old in Guojia Village and waved his hand. The clerk behind him brought out an ox and five ploughs.
"This is from your Guojia Village."
"Grow millet well and don't let down His Majesty's expectations of you. The county magistrate will come to inspect at any time."
"Your Majesty, this is just a cow."
"This... is not enough. We don't need these plows anymore. Magistrate, please give us another cow. At least two cows."
Muramasa yelled.
"What's not enough!"
"It's not easy to give you this cattle anymore. If you don't want it, I'll take it away again!"
"snort!"
"There are also these curved shaft plows, but the treasure given by His Majesty is that one ox and one man are enough to control them, and they don't even need oxen."
"Take it! I will reward you with the Quyuan plow. The cattle have been taken care of by the county magistrate. This one needs to be taken back!"
After saying this, the Chang'an County Magistrate hurriedly led the team towards the next Zhuangzi.
After the Chang'an County Magistrate left, the villagers of Guojia Village gathered around him.
"Muramasa, that's not enough. There's only one cow. How can this... how can it plow the land?" someone immediately shouted.
It takes two oxen to plow a field, which is already their inherent impression.
"Yes, there is also this little plow. What use can it be? Your Majesty must be too confused to return the treasure."
"That's right, Muramasa, Muramasa, how do we do farming?"
“….…”
The villagers were very innocent and looked at each other.
They really don't know what to do.
Muramasa looked at a farm cow and felt that it had a big head and a thick neck, and there was no good way to do it.
All the farming education he received was from two cows.
No one told him that a cow could plow the land.
but now!
The situation is special!
We can only bite the bullet, otherwise if we delay any longer, the sweet potato seeds will go bad. No one can bear this responsibility.
He looked at the five bent-shaft plows that had fallen to the ground.
It's so thin, what's the use?
But while he was thinking this in his heart, he said firmly: "Didn't His Majesty say, one cow is enough, let's go! Work! Can't delay it any longer!!"
"Bring the oxen and that other thing...the Quyuan plow, bring the Quyuan plow."
Muramasa shouted.
He led the men straight to the fields.
What to do with a cow?
All he could think about was this question.
But when they got to the field, they couldn't think of how to solve it.
Look at the long straight plows stacked at the head of the field.
This...a cow is really not the answer.
do not care!
Give Quyuanli a try!
It can only be this way.
Otherwise, just sitting there, wasting time and delaying replanting sweet potatoes will really lead to a big mistake.
"Bring over the oxen and the plow," Muramasa shouted.
"Muramasa, how can you plow with just one cow?" Someone shouted immediately.
The villagers gathered in a circle, their eyes falling on Muramasa.
In this era of the Tang Dynasty, Muramasa's prestige was still very high.
"Of course, use His Majesty's curved shaft plow!"
"One cow, one husband! Didn't I say that?"
Muramasa shouted immediately.
"That's it? This Lao Shizi's curved shaft plow is too... small, can it be done?"
The villagers pushed the curved plow and didn't believe it at all: "We'd better think of a way and use our plow."
Muramasa shook his head: "No! The long straight plow is too big, and a cow can't support it."
"Hurry up and bring it over. Since His Majesty said so, it must make sense."
Immediately, someone came over with a plow.
Muramasa commanded to put it on.
"Is this okay? Muramasa, this is too small."
"Is this curved shaft plow the grandson of the straight plow? How long does it take to plow? It takes half an acre of land to be plowed for half a day." Someone immediately complained.
It caused everyone around to laugh.
"Do not talk nonsense!"
"Let's go! Give it a try."
Muramasa directs.
The farmer had no choice but to give it a try, even if he despised the curved shaft plow.
Mobilize the cattle.
The plow also moved.
Immediately, some people wanted to laugh again, but when they saw the land plowed by the Quyuan plow, they couldn't laugh no matter how hard they laughed.
this….
In an instant, everyone in Zhuangtou fell silent.
Their eyes became fast, staring at the row of cultivated fields, their whole bodies felt like they were exploding.
This is too pretty.
The soil was evenly turned to both sides, and the previous crops in the field were uprooted.
The right shade.
Very straight.
"Muramasa, I just said, no way."
"Let's think about what to do next..."
The farmer holding the plow turned his head and shouted directly to Muramasa behind him. But when he saw the cultivated land behind him, he was stunned and stopped immediately.
Oh My God!
He swore that he had never seen such beautiful farmland in his life!
This plow….
Immediately, the villager tightly grasped the Quyuan plow in his hand, unbelievable!
magic!
Moreover, it really only uses one cow, and it is so light and easy. I can do it by myself... without any effort?
How is this possible!
In the past, it would have required at least three people!
But now, I have been plowing for so long without realizing it, but I didn't notice it at all. When I look back at the traces of the plowed land, they are neat and beautiful, far exceeding the traces left by large formations like long straight plows.
In an instant, the farmer reacted.
Quyuanli!
As your Majesty said, this is a rare treasure for their people!
What's funny is that I actually laughed at it just now.
Incredible!
Absolutely incredible!
Muramasa squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, his eyes filled with shock.
He immediately turned around and stared at the four remaining curved shaft plows beside him.
"You guys, go and give it a try!"
"Go and try it out, see if you can plow the land without using oxen. Hurry... Hurry!!"
Muramasa's voice was trembling and hoarse.
Now his mood is really like riding a roller coaster, with exploding light in his eyes!
If the Quyuan plow can eliminate the need for plowing cattle, this will be a timely help for the entire Guojia Village!
These people living outside Chang'an City can be said to be the most common people in the Tang Dynasty.
All year round, the only thing they think about is crops, besides crops, they are crops!
However, he knew very well that planting crops required plowing the land, and the rental fees for the cattle used to cultivate the land in total for this farm were astronomical!
There are no cattle in Guojia Village.
Every time we cultivate land, we have to go to neighboring villages to rent it.
Not only do you have to spend money, but you also have to look at other people's faces. If they are busy in any village, they won't care about you.
There used to be cattle in Guojia Village.
However, the cattle were bought by several families together, and one person could not afford them.
But because they were bought together, there were too many things involved. They had to argue for a long time about who came first, and finally the cow was simply sold.
Then, the entire Guojia Village had no cattle of its own.
You can only look at the faces of other Zhuangzi.
And now!
If...if this curved shaft plow can get rid of the cattle, it will be huge, huge, huge good news for Guojiacun! !
After Muramasa finished speaking, there were already strong farmers nearby who picked up the plow.
How could they not know what Muramasa meant?
"I'll hold on, you pull! If one person can't do it, then there will be two or three people. We have people and we have the strength."
"Give it a try!"
“….…”
Someone immediately took command.
Soon, three strong farmers pulled up the rope, and the farmer holding the curved shaft of the plow clenched the handrail tightly.
"Walk!"
Muramasa yelled.
Suddenly, the three people exerted their strength at the same time.
The Quyuan plow is moving!
Although the speed is not as fast as that of an ox, it is not slow either. It is even comparable to the speed of two oxen pulling a long straight plow.
Moreover, the completion of the farmland and cultivated land in the back is no weaker than that of cattle farming next to it.
"Okay! It's really okay! Muramasa, Muramasa! Look, His Majesty is right, this is... this is a treasure, this is really a treasure!!!"
"Ahhhhhh! I can plow, I can plow, I can plow the fields without cows!!"
"Oh my God! Oh my God, my Majesty, this... this... is unbelievable, unbelievable, our Guojiazhuang can be saved, it can be saved, we can walk without cows!"
"This curved shaft plow, hahaha... it can really move, it can really plow the land! It can really plow the land without an ox!!"
"……."
When they saw this scene, the surrounding Guojiazhuang villagers burst into tears.
No one thought that the scene they had dreamed about in their dreams had now really come true!
No need for cattle!
Just use your strength to plow the land!
For the people, this is really like rain from heaven.
Quyuanli!
Is this Qu Yuuli's strength?
Muramasa stared at the traces of cultivated land behind the four people.
They took it seriously and were extremely surprised!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty! It was a common people before... It was a common people who had no eyesight, it was a common people who had no eyes!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the ordinary people are kowtowing to you, the ordinary people are kowtowing to you, you and the Ministry of Industry are both too powerful."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
Muramasa burst into tears.
He even knelt down directly.
Facing the direction of Chang'an.
Wow….
And all of a sudden, other farmers in Guojia Village followed the village leader and kowtowed respectfully in the direction of Chang'an Imperial City.
They sincerely apologized.
They sincerely feel ashamed for their previous blindness!
Such precious farm tools were distributed to them for free.
What else do they have to complain about?
"Go! Go!"
"The other three curved shaft plows are also started and put to use!"
"Others, go get the grain seeds, hahaha... Our Guojiazhuang will not sleep until we finish planting!"
"Go quickly, go quickly!!"
Muramasa yelled.
The farmers in Guojiazhuang went crazy.
All the plows and plows were used.
The able-bodied people took turns.
Rows of farmland were all plowed and plowed.
The grain seeds were planted neatly and carefully.
The entire Guojiazhuang was in a state of excitement.
Quyuanli!
This thing makes the souls of farmers boil!
Not only Guojiazhuang, but all the villages where food was grown exploded at this moment!
The role of the Quyuan plow was fully brought into play.
The whole area around Chang'an is in full swing!
And the news began to spread rapidly.
How could Quyuli's terrifying effects not be spread?
Its reputation spreads further and further, spreads further and further...
The reputation of Li Shimin and the Ministry of Industry also reached the highest level in history because of Quyuanli.
With this Qu Yuuli, who still remembers Li Shimin who killed his brother and imprisoned his father? who?
Even if there is, it is only a small part!
Everyone praised the greatness of the Tang emperor.
Li Shimin's reputation reached its peak, but those common people didn't know, maybe... they would never know, that Quyuan Li was not from Li Shimin and the Ministry of Industry.
But that...the tragedy that once shocked the entire city of Chang'an was committed by Chuhe Village.
They don’t know, don’t know, never, don’t know….
….….….….….….
Another month passed.
As time went by, Li Shimin's reputation reached its peak because of Qu Yuanli.
Coupled with the tacit understanding between Cheng Yaojin and Zhuqueying, Li Shimin knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
Therefore, he took this opportunity to issue a decree in the court to expedition to the Yan Kingdom.
Suddenly, the court caused an uproar.
It immediately aroused unanimous opposition from the conservative forces in North Korea and China. These conservative forces did not want to oppose Li Shimin.
I simply felt that the Tang Dynasty was now prospering with all kinds of wastes, and that we must first settle the internal affairs before going outside, so they expressed their opposition in the court.
It's just that Li Shimin's reputation has reached its peak, and he secretly approved it with Changsun Wuji and others. Therefore, more than half of the six ministers in the court and the principals under the sect expressed support.
Li Shimin finally made the decision and the army set off! Expedition to Yan Kingdom!
Although this expedition is not suitable for the Tang Dynasty, which is currently prosperous.
but!
Who makes Li Shimin famous now?
Not only the people are looking forward to his continued achievements, but also the civil and military officials... are looking forward to it extremely!
Even conservatives did not have much objection to this expedition.
The symbolic meaning blocks it for a while and then fully supports it.
The common people, soldiers, and court officials are all looking forward to this former Tiance general, now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to lead them on a path to prosperity.
Starting from Yan Kingdom!
Hot eyes!
The whole country is united as one!
Even though there was not much food left in the treasury, part of it was still allocated for the army to set out.
Cheng Yaojin led 3,000 Suzaku Guards, and Youzhou Governor Chai Shao led 2,000 Xuanjia Cavalry and 5,000 Youzhou Cavalry to prevent the Suzaku Camp from being eaten by enemy cavalry in the desert. Together with 40,000 auxiliary troops, it was a mighty force. , and just set off from Chang'an City.
Of course, Chai Shao is still in Youzhou, so before arriving in Youzhou, Xuanjia Cavalry will be led by Yuchi Jingde to go north.
After arriving in Youzhou, since Chai Shao had a better understanding of the desert and the surrounding environment of Yan State, he took over the leadership of the Xuanjia Cavalry and led 2,000 Xuanjia Cavalry and 5,000 Youzhou Cavalry, with the main task of assisting Cheng Yaojin's 3,000 Suzaku Guards. , shared the Northern Expedition.
Yuchi Jingde succeeded Chai Shao and temporarily took charge of Youzhou.
There are still many hidden prince remnants in Youzhou that have not been cleared up. In order to prevent them from causing trouble, the other two generals in the north, Prince Li Xiaogong of Hejian and Tang Dynasty Tiger General Li Dajun, will always respond to Yuchi Jingde's call.
Prevent the Youzhou Incident.
Setting off, in addition to the 5,000 Youzhou cavalry who were in Youzhou, a full army of 45,000 people, carrying 500,000 loads of grain, set off from Chang'an City in a mighty manner to conquer the Yan Kingdom in the north!
Although the combat strength was only 10,000, the Tang Dynasty was founded on elites, and these 10,000, except for the Youzhou Cavalry Division, the 2,000 Xuanjia Cavalry and the 3,000 Suzaku Battalion, were all...the elite among the elite!
The one we were dealing with was the Yan State, which was separated from the Liang State!
This battle is of great significance. It is Li Shimin's first foreign battle after he ascended the throne!
so.
Li Shimin and many military attachés conducted investigations, and they knew that the Yan State and the Liang State were in conflict. If they went to conquer the Yan State, the Liang State and the Turks would never provide assistance.
Even the Liang Kingdom and the Turks wanted them to attack the Yan Kingdom!
Ten thousand troops, plus the support from all of Youzhou, is enough!
Taking a step back, even in the middle of the Tang Dynasty in history, thousands of people often fought against enemy countries.
This time, they are still ten thousand elite.
.
….….….….….….
Kaifeng City.
Zheng Jibo and Zheng Yuanzhou also received the news of the imperial army's expedition.
The Zheng family has many officials in the imperial court, and it can be said that the same is true for the five surnames and Qi Wang. Therefore, except for Chang'an City, the heads of the five surnames and Qi Wang are the first to receive news of the expedition.
"Dad, can the King of Chu block it? Although there are only ten thousand, but! I guarantee that the Turks will help Li Shimin attack Yanyun City together with Li Shimin, or even... stab him in the back."
Zheng Yuanzhou was worried.
During this period, the Zheng family increased their cooperation and contact with the King of Chu, and naturally hoped that the King of Chu would win.
Zheng Jibo's old eyes were filled with ripples. He used his crutch and said calmly: "I don't know whether it can be blocked."
"It's just that we can do our best to help him."
"Yuanzhou, go! Send someone to draft a letter quickly. Write down the Qin King's goals, the specific troop strength and the approximate arrival time, etc. in the letter, and then send it to the King of Chu and Jiangdong."
Zheng Yuanzhou's face was solemn: "I understand, dad!"
Zheng Jibo nodded, then looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Haha, that's all we can do."
….….….….….….
Yan country.
Most people in the Tang Dynasty believed that only when they arrived at the border of the Yan Kingdom would they know about the invasion of the Tang army.
But who would have known that one of the five surnames and Qiwang family was devoted to the Yan Kingdom.
It had been a month since Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde led their troops to go on an expedition. They had just arrived in Youzhou, and Yan Guo had already received news of their expedition, as well as specific intelligence.
This is the benefit of intelligence.
Intelligence is always the most important eye in a war.
Xin Qiji quickly rushed to Yanyun Palace with the information he had just obtained.
When he arrived at Yanyun Palace, King Chu, now Emperor Yan, was enjoying Queen Xiao's backbeat.
It took nearly three months for Queen Xiao to marry King Chu.
From the beginning, he hoped that someone would rescue him and save Yanyun City, but now, no one is attacking the Yan Kingdom in spring, the most suitable season for an expedition. He has become... almost desperate and has become resigned to his fate.
A bit similar to Princess Yicheng, her heart gradually dies, she no longer has hope for rescue and light, and then as time passes, she... completely submits to... the man who occupies them.
So at this moment, even if Queen Xiao slapped her back and acted like a servant girl, she didn't feel anything. After all, no matter how much she resisted, no one would save her, so she could only accept it.
"Your Highness, urgent report!"
Xin Qiji shouted as soon as he entered the door.
Hearing this, Li Kuan put down the military book in his hand and signaled Queen Xiao to stop, and then asked: "What's the matter? You're in a panic."
Xin Qiji held up the letter: "The Tang Dynasty has entered our country, Yan!"
Li Kuan's eyes flickered.
And Empress Xiao, who was standing behind him, inadvertently touched... with her beautiful eyes...
