"Sixth brother, I heard that the third brother came back from Rome, and first went to look for you in a hurry, and then you came to us in a hurry, did something happen?" As soon as he arrived at the palace, the impatient Li Zhen immediately spoke.

"That's right, there is indeed something, and it is a very important and urgent matter, otherwise I would not have come to discuss with you personally!" As he spoke, Li Ke recounted Li Ke's experience in Rome, and also focused on Li Ke's plan to gain a foothold in the Iberian Peninsula.

"Smack~" Li Zhen patted her thigh and said, "The third brother is worthy of being the third brother, this Yanfu is really available everywhere, I knew that I would go to Rome first!" ”

is worthy of being a brother, Li Zhen's reaction is exactly the same as Li Su at the beginning, but Li Su is embarrassed to say it in front of Li Ke. And at this time, Li Su pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring and said: "The third brother can seduce the Roman queen not only because he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but by his own charm, but if it is replaced by the eighth brother, I guess the Roman emperor will be more interested in you, I heard that the other party likes strong and powerful soldiers the most." ”

Li Yun, who is relatively old, heard Li Su's words, and immediately laughed on the spot, spilled the tea in his right hand, and said breathlessly after a while: "The sixth brother's suggestion is not bad, the third brother seduced someone's wife, and the eighth brother hooked up with the Roman emperor himself, and then everyone is a family, if there is anything to talk about!" ”

Looking at his two unscrupulous brothers, Li Zhen glanced at them angrily, he is a normal man, and his relationship with Wu Meiniang has always been very deep. has even been married for so long, except for Wu Meiniang, the queen in his harem. There are only two people in the original palace, and now they have been promoted to imperial concubines. There are no other women except the three of them, and he is even stronger than Li Su.

The three brothers joked for a while, and then the topic was pulled to Li Ke's matter again. I saw Li Zhen wave his big hand and said: "Sixth brother, just say it, the third brother is not an outsider, if you need our help, just mention it, even if we send troops to directly attack the Suez Canal, there is no problem, but I don't dare to guarantee that we will be able to defeat the big cannibal, unless you transfer your firearms troops to me tens of thousands!" ”

Li Zhen looks reckless, but she is actually an extremely smart person. Li Su only mentioned that Li Ke wanted to build a country in the Mediterranean, and he immediately saw that the key was the Suez Canal, which was controlled by the big cannibals, and he probably understood the reason why Li Ke came to them, although he knew that it was very troublesome to solve this matter, but he still agreed without hesitation.

"Go, pay back tens of thousands, how many firearms troops are in my hands, and if they are all transferred to you, what should I do? And now is not the time to go to war with the Great Cannibals. We only need to use some means to make Da Shi obediently succumb! Li Zhen glanced at Li Zhen and said, and when he said the end, he had the kind of sly smile on his face that is unique to calculating people.

Li Zhen and Li Yun's eyes lit up when they heard this. The two leaned out almost at the same time and asked Li Su, "Sixth brother, do you have any good ideas?" ”

I saw that Li Su took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said: "Seventh brother, eighth brother, you tell me honestly." How much strength do you have accumulated in your hands now, are you sure that you will win Beitianzhu in one fell swoop? ”

Li Zhen and Li Yun were stunned when they heard this. I just wanted to ask why, but was interrupted by Li Su: "Don't ask me why I asked this question." Just answer me! ”

This made Li Zhen and Li Yun a little puzzled, but in the end Li Zhen still replied: "Sixth brother, since you asked so, then the younger brother will not hide it from you, now our military strength is enough, but there are still some deficiencies in war reserves, such as food and ordnance, there is a certain shortage, so Seventh Brother He is now desperately developing the economy, ready to wait until he has a certain amount of savings, and then take the entire North Tianzhu in one fell swoop." ”

After listening to this, Li Yu pondered for a while, and finally suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Zhen and said, "Eighth brother, if you have sufficient material guarantees, then how long can you take the entire Northern Tianzhu at the earliest?" ”

Hearing this, Li Zhen and Li Yun had already realized something, and Li Zhen was also very excited at the moment: "Although the area of North Tianzhu is larger, but because we have won the Middle Tianzhu and South Tianzhu, the military strength in our hands has been greatly improved, coupled with the endless battles between the various small countries in North Tianzhu, as well as the promotion of our new Brahmanism, so that many people in North Tianzhu have secretly taken refuge in us, so I can guarantee that within three months, we can take the entire North Tianzhu!" ”

"Okay, the eighth brother is worthy of being the best at fighting among our brothers, how many more supplies do you need, seventh brother, you make a list for me, I will let people transport it as quickly as possible, but I need you to take the entire Tianzhu as soon as possible!" Li Su said without hesitation.

This made Li Zhen and Li Yun also very happy, among which Li Yun even sighed with emotion: "It's still the sixth brother, you have a lot of money, don't look at us almost at the same time, but if you talk about the real strength, whether it is the emperor's Tang Dynasty or the sixth brother, your Daqi, it is not comparable to our Tianzhu." ”

However, after being happy, Li Zhen asked Li Su with some doubts: "Sixth brother, aren't we going to help the third brother, what does this have to do with whether we can beat Beitianzhu or not?" ”

After hearing this, Li Su smiled and told the weakness of Da Shi, and finally concluded: "With the current situation, as long as we don't force Da Shi to a dead end, they will definitely not dare to start a war with us. Before, the road to the east of the Great Eclipse has been blocked by the Emperor, in addition to developing to the west, they are also developing to the south, and now their tentacles have reached the northern border of Tianzhu, and even have the intention of meddling in the North Tianzhu, so now I need you to take down the North Tianzhu with a thunderous momentum, and give the Great Cannibal a blow to the head! ”

Hearing Li Su say this, Li Zhen suddenly said: "I understand, sixth brother, you want Da Shi to feel the threat of our Tianzhu to them, and even after occupying North Tianzhu, we can also form troops on the border and make a gesture of attacking Da Shi, so that they can feel the double pressure of Da Tang and Tianzhu at the same time!" ”

"Hehe, what the eighth brother said is right, but it's just that the border of the soldiers is far from enough, we still need to be more proactive to make Da Shi feel a greater threat!" When Li Su said the end, the smile on his face was even more sinister.

At the same time that Li Su, Li Zhen and Li Yun were discussing together, Li Ke had already rushed to Chang'an, and met Li Shimin in the Liangyi Palace, and then confessed to Li Shimin that he also planned to build a country overseas, and even the location had been chosen, and then looked at his father with a contemplative face.

Li Shimin, who has just passed his fiftieth birthday, is obviously older than before, although he still looks heroic, but the white hair on his temples and the wrinkles on his forehead still tell Li Ke that his father, who was once surprised, is entering his old age, and even before he had taken pills, hoping to maintain his energy, fortunately, the exhortation of Li Su and others worked, otherwise it may cause more serious consequences.

"San Lang, have you really decided?" Li Shimin, who was in deep thought, suddenly raised his head and looked at his son calmly, but in his calm eyes, there was a very complicated feeling, as if he was relieved and reluctant.

For Li Shimin, it was very gratifying to watch his sons walk out of the Tang Dynasty one by one and build an empire of their own overseas. Although there are unsuccessful sons like Li You, there are also promising sons like Li Yu, Li Zhen and Li Yun. However, as he gets older, he attaches more and more importance to the relationship between his children and grandchildren, but Li Su and the three of them are far away, and they rarely return to Chang'an with their children, which makes Li Shimin miss it from time to time. Now even Li Ke has to go overseas, and he is going to the Mediterranean, which is farther away, which makes Li Shimin naturally a little reluctant.

When Li Ke and Li Shimin's eyes met, when he realized the emotion in his father's eyes, his heart couldn't help but tremble, but he was also a determined person, and he quickly calmed down his state of mind, stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said: "Qiqi father, although the son thinks that he is lowly, but he sees the sixth brother and they are building a country overseas, but I, the elder brother, can only stay under the wing of my father, which makes my son feel really uncomfortable, so I hope that my father will fulfill my son!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke who was kneeling in front of him with his head bowed, the look on his face was more complicated, but in the end, reason prevailed over emotion, and after sighing, the emperor's resoluteness finally appeared on his face, and he said in a majestic voice: "Okay, Ke'er, since you have this ambition, then my father will not stop me anymore, now tell the plan you discussed with Liulang!" ”

Li Ke also looked up at his father with a complicated expression, and then slowly talked about the situation in the Mediterranean and the two prerequisites that need to be solved, that is, the problem of population and transportation, and finally he begged Li Shimin, hoping that Li Shimin could help him recruit some people and migrate to the Mediterranean Sea with him, and then he would provide the best conditions for these people.

After listening to this, Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and then spoke: "I will try my best to help you recruit for the population matter, but now you know the situation in the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that there may not be many Han people, but the population growth of the northern grasslands is a little too fast, and then I can order the migration of some small tribes to follow you." As for the traffic, how are you and Rokuro going to force Oshoku to comply? ”

Hearing that his father was willing to help him solve the population problem, Li Ke was also in good spirits, and at the same time said loudly: "Enlighten the emperor, we have completed the plan to coerce the big food, and now that Liulang has gone to contact the seventh and eighth brothers, they should take action soon, as for the Datang side, we only need to do two things!"
