Yun Hao didn't lie, when Li Er's feet stepped on the Luoyang platform. The sun is still hanging on the western mountain, and it is estimated that it will not set for another hour. The convenience of the new means of transportation made Li Er almost unable to believe his eyes. It wasn't until Hou Junji, who stayed in Luoyang, came to pay homage that Li Er felt that he had really come to Luoyang.

Li Er is no stranger to the city of Luoyang, and he fought with Wang Shichong in Luoyang back then. established his status as an unparalleled general, and he still has the title of emperor today. Throughout the ages, there have been many emperors who can fight. But it is indeed rare for an emperor who can really go to the battlefield to cut people. Before you know it, fifteen years have passed. Fifteen years ago, it was a bloody battlefield.

Today, in addition to the mottled walls, it still tells the story of that war. It seems that everyone has forgotten that there was a bloody battle under Luoyang City back then.

"I remember that there seems to have been a ditch built here. In order to prevent Wang Shichong from rushing out of Luoyang City! "The walls of Luoyang cannot be destroyed, so the railway station can only be built outside the city. Li Er stood on the platform and wanted to look from afar, pointing to the other side of the platform and said.

"Back to Your Majesty's words! In fact, this platform is the site of the ditch of the past. Hou Junji bowed and answered.

"The old site? It's been more than ten years, and no one has cultivated here? Li Er said with some surprise. I let people dig such a deep ditch, if you want to farm, you have to fill the ditch.

"Uh......! Your Majesty, after the First Battle of Luoyang. The population of the Heluo area withered, and it was only in these years that it recovered some vitality. But compared with the pre-Sui period, it is still much worse. So......! Hou Junji saw Li Er's gloomy face and didn't dare to say any more.

"Hey......! There are so many people who have died! Li Er sighed, and the revisit of his hometown pulled his thoughts back to Luoyang back then.

Luoyang! The Land of the Four Wars! The former Sui built it into the eastern capital, which was a high city and deep pools, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Li Er, who was helpless, could only go deep into the ditch barrier and besiege Wang Shichong in Luoyang City. There is no worse than arson, and there is no worse than starvation. A desperate food plan almost made Luoyang a hell on earth. At the most difficult time, hundreds of corpses were thrown from the city every day. Under the city wall, there are dense layers of stacks.

The Tiger Prison defeated Dou Jiande in a battle, and Wang Shichong, who had lost hope, had no choice but to surrender. The first thing Li Er did when he entered the city was to open a warehouse and release grain, but the people only took less than 6,000 stone of grain. It's not that I don't want to take more, but those who survive can only take 6,000 stones. At its worst, it can even be cannibalism.

Miserable! His mind was full of corpses, and Li Er hurriedly shook his head, trying to get rid of those troubled thoughts. It may be that he was in a hurry, and Li Er was dizzy for a while. The eldest grandson beside him hurriedly held Li Er's arm!

"Oh! It's not a good thing, I just think about the old things. I remember that I was observing the terrain on the northern mountain over there, and there were only 500 cavalry on my side. Unexpectedly, Shan Xiongxin led people out of Luoyang City, and there were tens of thousands of people. If it weren't for Jingde protecting me, maybe my head would have been trusted by Shan Xiong. Li Er pointed in the direction of Beibi Mountain and said with palpitations.

"Your Majesty is the Lord of Great Blessings, as long as Your Majesty does not dislike it. The last general is willing to be His Majesty's guard for the rest of his life! Yu Chigong bowed his waist hard, and his huge belly made his movements very funny. But when he straightened up, he was proud. Not everyone can have this friendship with the emperor, and with this foundation, even if there is any mistake in the Wei Chi family in the future, it will not destroy the family and destroy the family.

"Hahaha! Just the day before, Yin Kaishan and Qu Tutong also worked together to take you. Say you're going to rebel! Li Er looked at Wei Chigong's appearance and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty took the last general back to the back tent and took out a bag of gold, silver and jewelry. Say, if the last general wants to leave, this is entanglement. Your Majesty's kindness to your ministers is not enough to repay you in case of death. Wei Chigong listened to Li Er's words and immediately sighed.

"I can decide life and death with one throw, and I can also laugh at enmity. Today, we have a peerless artifact like a train, and the army has a battle array weapon like gunpowder and fierce fire oil. All the gentlemen dare to fight again, Li Shimin. Let me be in China, Jinou is flawless! Li Er is Li Er, and he quickly turned around from his pathetic emotions. Fingers to the sky, a deafening roar.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The generals are going crazy! The value of the military is reflected in the war, and a few years of peaceful life have greatly reduced the status of the generals. The civilian-bureaucratic clique is eyeing each other, and now that they hear that there is going to be a war, how can people not be excited. Especially Wei Chigong, his hands beat his chest like King Kong. It is estimated that even if he is asked to carry the explosives bag and blow up the bunker now, he will not hesitate.

The golden ou is flawless, and China is unified! This cannot be said anywhere else, and there is only one place in the world that meets this standard. That's Liaodong! When the emperor said such a thing in such a large and powerful place, it showed that Li Er had already made up his mind to conduct a Goguryeo campaign. His cousin Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty launched a million-strong army and did not solve the problem, and this Heavenly Khan wanted to solve it himself.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, the country had just recovered some vitality. At this time, they absolutely do not want to fall into the sea of war again, but there is no way. Since the emperor said it on this occasion, it means that the emperor has made up his mind. Li Er's will cannot be disobeyed! No matter what kind of talent you are, if you don't align with Li Er in this kind of thing, you will become a chopping wood.

Yun Hao shook his head helplessly, the train was fast and convenient. made Li Er see the hope of an expedition to Liaodong, and had a god-level means of transportation like a train. It will only take a few days for the grain from Guanzhong to be transported to Hebei, and the grain from Shandong will be faster. No wonder, Li Daoyan proposed to recruit a special army to build a railway, and Li Er agreed without thinking about it. Moreover, 100,000 posts were approved at once. You must know that Datang implements strong cadres and weak branches. The sixteen guards of Chang'an are only a little more than 200,000!

With an army of 100,000 plus simple cranes and machinery researched by the academy, Yun Hao felt that this was enough to repair the train track to Dengzhou and Youzhou in three years. Once effective railway transportation is formed, it will greatly increase the war capability of the Tang Army. The Guanzhong soldiers did not need to march for months, but only a few days. You will be able to reach Youzhou from the distant Guanzhong.

Even according to Yun Hao's idea, it was transported all the way to Dengzhou to board the ship. And then ride the wind and waves and take Pyongyang directly!

When Li Er left the platform and got into the carriage. A group of veterans are still playing excitedly! Cheng Biting Jin kept muttering: "It's going to be a war!" It's going to war! "Like a madman!

Only Qin Qiong's face was gloomy, and he got into the carriage without saying a word. The illness limited his mobility, and the journey to Luoyang by train was still possible. But if you really want him to lift the prancing horse, like Qin Shubao ten years ago, it is absolutely impossible. None of the descendants of the Qin family have become a weapon, and Lao Qin can't fall and doesn't dare to fall. No matter what kind of illness it is, as long as you can stick to the court, you will persevere. The moment Qin Qiong turned around, Yun Hao saw that his back didn't know when it was already lumped.

"Uncle Qin!" Yun Hao followed into Qin Qiong's carriage. In front of him, where is still the Qin Shubao who stepped on both sides of the Yellow River and beat one hundred and eight counties in Shandong. After years of illness, a tough guy was made sallow. The corners of his eyes have been drooping, and he hasn't gone far, and sweat is already oozing from the tip of his nose.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Yun Hao get into his carriage, Qin Qiong was a little surprised. Yun Hao is less than thirty years old, and he is already the Duke of Chu in the Tang Dynasty. Speaking of titles and power, he is even higher than him Qin Qiong. The kid in front of him is no longer the doll he was back then. Every move will be watched by those who have a heart. Today he walked into his carriage, and tomorrow he did not know what kind of gossip would come out.

"This is the ginseng that I just got back from Goryeo last month, and Mr. Sun personally mixed it into a pill to replenish his body, which is very good." Yun Hao said, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong took it in his hand and smelled it, and there was a unique fragrance of ginseng in the pill. Although Qin Qiong is still holding on all these years, everyone can see that his body is not as good as a year. People are philistines, and no one will often visit a prince who is about to pass away. Human nature is cold, and Qin Qiong has also seen a lot of the hot and cold world in the past two years.

Now those who can come to the house to walk around are in addition to Lao Cheng and Lao Niu, a few old brothers. The younger generation is Yun Hao, the marquis of Duke Chen Guogong, who has not been in the Qin family for several years. What's more, the eldest daughter of Hou Junji's family married the crown prince Li Chengqian as the prince's side concubine last year. Now Hou Junji is the prince's father-in-law and Li Er's in-laws. Although he is staying in Luoyang now, every New Year's Day, there is a lot of traffic in front of the door. Not to mention Qin Qiong's house, even Yun Hao's place, Hou Junji can't go once in a year or two.

"Hey......! Have a heart! Qin Qiong sighed, no one had sent him such a valuable thing for a long time. For ginseng, only the Yun family sends two boxes a month.

Korean ginseng has been promoted by the Yun family, and it is bullish in Chang'an Market. It seems that Yun Hao always comes to ginseng of this color, which is definitely priceless in Chang'an. The Qin family does not buy and sell much, and the big transactions are all joint shares with the Yun family. His family's money is not enough to support him to eat every day. If it weren't for the fact that the Yun family didn't forget to pull the Qin family when they were doing business all these years, he, the Duke of Yiguo, would be a joke in Chang'an City.

"Uncle Qin doesn't have to worry, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Wei Chi Gong's son, Yu Chi Baolin, discounted Zhang Liang's son's leg a few days ago. The two are now tearing it up! Tell me, can the Duke of Eguo worry about it? and Cheng Chumo of the Cheng family, because Shangguan didn't let him hunt, he actually discounted someone's leg. is still on the way back to Beijing after being escorted, if it weren't for Uncle Cheng's merits, he might have been cut down in Ganzhou.

Huaidao in your family is still young, and if you study hard and practice for some years, you will not succeed. With our brothers, we will not be poor. Yun Hao reluctantly enlightened Qin Qiong, although Qin Qiong's illness over the years was due to old injuries. However, Yun Hao knew that Qin Qiong was worried about the lack of successors in the family. It's not so much a disease in his body as a disease in his heart.

"Hey......! When you say this, the old man doesn't feel good in his heart. Look at other people's children, although they cause trouble, they make people feel good. Zhang Liang's son laughed at Yu Chi Gong's appearance, and was beaten by Yu Chi Baolin. Even if he was a child, it was because there was no war in Ganzhou, so he wanted to go back to Beijing to see if there was a chance and where to go for military merit.

But if you look at Huaidao, you can't do it. If it weren't for you, you wouldn't even be able to enter the academy. Every time I see Lao Wen, people show me the transcript. I don't know where to put this old face Qin Qiong!

Moreover, this child is cowardly by nature and is always bullied in the college. Don't worry! It's not your fault! The old man thought about how to make him tough. Such a big family business will be handed over to him in the future. How can such cowardice be done! Now I know that it is better to adopt a son as a sheep than to raise a son as a wolf! This kid can't hold up the portal! As soon as she said this, Qin Qiong sighed.

"Uncle Qin, you don't know about this. Although Huai Dao's character is a little cowardly, he is calm and ingenious. Although the inheritance of the family business is a little worse, but it is very talented for the object. You only look at his report card, but you don't look at his handiwork, even the fisherman praises it. Instead of making him an official, you might as well let him study hard in the future.

Today, you can also see this train, and Huaidao is involved in the design of the axles. In the future, we will build big ships, and big ships of steel can travel in the sea. We still have to build chariots, and if we are as fast as a galloping horse, we can really travel 800 times a day. These are inseparable from the study of science, if Huaidao continues to develop on this road, it may be able to become a generation. ”

"You mean it, old man!" Qin Qiong grabbed Yun Hao's arm and asked, her eyes full of little stars.

"Really! The old fisher intends to accept Huaidao as a closed disciple, and asks me to ask if you are willing. After all, Huaidao is the son-in-law of your family, and he will inherit the family business in the future. Yun Hao felt as if his arm was being clamped by an iron hoop. Don't look at Qin Qiong's illness like this, a tiger general is a tiger general, and he is still a tiger general when he is dying.

"It's serious!"

"It's true, if you don't believe it, when you return to Chang'an, you can go to the academy and ask in person. You know, the fisherman cares a lot about faces. Although you want to accept apprentices, you have to come forward to worship a teacher and perform a worship ceremony. You won't want to! ”

"Nonsense! How could the old man not be willing! The old generation of fishermen is a great family, and being able to worship under his door is the creation of Huaidao. You tell the old man that the Wing Kingdom Mansion will definitely not disgrace his old man. The apprenticeship ceremony must be lively! Ha ha! Unexpectedly, this kid has this talent. Qin Qiong stroked his beard and was relieved.
