"What does Your Majesty mean?" Chu Suiliang quickly understood what Li Xin meant, and said with a slight nervousness.

"Don't worry, although Li Jiancheng is gone, leaving Li Yuanji there, Shandong will definitely be chaotic, if I kill it now, Li Yuanji and Cui Mingan will definitely give up their prejudices and resist the attack of our army, but only wait, wait for a while, Li Yuanji will definitely fight against Cui Mingan." At that time, the army will go out again. Li Xin naturally understood what Chu Suiliang was worried about, so he explained with a smile.

Chu Suiliang immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it was just as Li Xin thought, the army had just returned from the expedition, and he led the army back to Shandong, and Li Yuanji and others in Shandong would definitely unite to send a message to Li Xin, and the army would fall into a quagmire, but only by waiting for a while, when the situation in Shandong became chaotic again, and Li Jiancheng's army had withdrawn to Hebei, it was the best time to dispatch at that time.

"Your Majesty, this expedition has to take the last general." Qin Qiong hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, this expedition will definitely take the general with you." Li Xin said with a smile: "I will not only take the general, but the general is also the main attacking force. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Qiongjin's face showed excitement, only the main general could show his ability. This kind of reuse, even when Zhang Xutuo was in time, couldn't enjoy it, which was enough to make Qin Qiong die for Li Xin.

"During this time, I will focus on playing, Sun Qing, during this time, you don't have to accompany me, you can do whatever you want." Li Xin said with a smile: "Jiangnan is a good place!" The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and I heard that the rice here can be harvested three times a year. Is there such a thing? ”

"Your Majesty, it is a place close to the south, and the minister heard that the place in Quanzhou can be harvested three times a year." Sun Fujia was stunned when he heard this, but one of the officials below said something.

"Quanzhou? Kindness. In addition to Quanzhou, there is also Jiaozhi. Well, cochin. Li Xin's face wrinkled when he heard this, as if he had thought of something.

"Your Majesty, but you have thought of the mound of Jiaozhi?" Chu Suiliang saw it clearly, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Yes, it's Qiu He." Li Xin nodded. said: "Jiaozhi is my Central Plains territory, the former Emperor Wu of the Dynasty once sent Qiu He to lead Jiaozhi Taishou, once attached to Xiao Miao, now Xiao Mi has surrendered, I want to know if Qiu He decided to be the enemy of my Tang Dynasty?" Why haven't you ever come to see me? ”

"Your Majesty, although Qiu and this person are in Jiaozhi, they don't know much about the affairs of the Central Plains, and besides, the minister has heard about it. He had a very good personal relationship with Gao Shilian. Gao Shilian is Li Yuan's friend, and Qiu He did not come to see His Majesty at this moment, perhaps because of this. Chu Suiliang hurriedly explained.

"Gao Shilian? Bohai Gao, tsk, is also my relative, but he always helps outsiders. Li Xin shook his head and said, "Is Xu Xuanche here?" Li Xin searched in the crowd, and finally landed on Xu Xuanche, who was among the generals.

"Minister Xu Xuanche has seen Your Majesty." Xu Xuanche strode out.

"I heard that when Xiao Mo was there, he once sent people to attack Qiu He. Is there such a thing? Li Xin asked very calmly.

"It does." Xu Xuanche said loudly: "When Xiao Jun was still the lord of Xiao Liang, he was envious of Qiu He's wealth. He once sent Ning Changzhen to attack Qiu He, but unfortunately he was defeated by Qiu He. In fact, not only Xiao Jungong, but also Feng Ang had also attacked Qiu He. Qiu He is a Jiaozhi Taishou, this person is good and generous, so he was appointed as a Taishou, after Qiu He arrived. Soothe the heroes of the people, make the most of their feelings, and win the hearts of the local people, so that the place can be stabilized. Qiu He is very popular in Jiaozhi. ”

"Speaking of which, Qiu He can be too guarded for Jiaozhi. It has a lot to do with Master Pei, when Emperor Chaowu appointed Qiu He that year, he was once recommended by Master Pei. Chu Suiliang said on the side.

"Well, how about the conquest of Qiu He?" Li Xin thought for a while and asked.

"The road of Jiaozhi Mountain is dangerous, the road is long, and the supply is the most important, if Your Majesty wants to conquer Qiuhe, you should be prepared for a long-term battle." Xu Xuanche hurriedly said: "The reason why Ning Changzhen failed back then was not because this person was not brave, but because of insufficient logistics, so he was defeated by Qiu He. ”

Li Xin nodded, at this time, the area around Jiaozhi is not only vast and sparsely populated, but also the mountains and forests are sinister, and the miasma is rampant, perhaps because of this, Jiaozhi is not owned by Datang, but in this case, Li Xin does not want to.

"Send someone to get the letter from Master Pei first, if you can recruit this person, it's best, if you can't surrender, then prepare to attack and destroy Qiu He!" Li Xin thought for a while and said: "Jiaozhi Mountain is high and dangerous, miasma is rampant, grain and grass turnover is not easy, plus Qiu and this person have a very high prestige in Jiaozhi, if you fight in the jungle, the enemy often sneaks up on the army, I am afraid that the army has not yet arrived in the place, and three out of ten are dead." ”

"Your Majesty." The crowd nodded, and that was exactly what happened.

"But a Jiaozhi is nothing, after Jiaozhi, there are Jiuzhen, Rinan and other counties, as well as Linyi, Zhenla and other countries, these places are all heart-to-heart to my Datang, and they can't block the road to their tribute because of Jiaozhi, so Jiaozhi must be taken down." Li Xin's face was grim, and he said, "During this time, the first sailor wants to build a ship, return to the hometown, you go to Quanzhou, remember, build a sailor warship, Quanzhou that place, there are many overseas traders, these people walk on the sea, easy and abnormal, you can ask them about the experience of sailing, give you five years, for me to create a strong sailor." ”

"The last will obey." Xu Xuanche hurriedly said.

"I still lack a general who is proficient in mountain and jungle warfare." Li Xin glanced at everyone and said: "Mountain and jungle warfare is extremely important, not something that ordinary people can do, who can recommend it?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to recommend one, maybe you can do it." Xu Xuanche came out and said.

"Who?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"Ning Changzhen." Xu Xuanche said without thinking: "Although this person was defeated by Qiu He, he is very familiar with Jiaozhi, he also attacked Jiaozhi back then, and he is still relatively familiar with mountain warfare." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also recommended two people, this person is Feng Ang and Li Guangdu, these two people are also Xidong, they are the heroes of the south, these three people are all in contradiction with Qiu He, why don't Your Majesty use these three people." Chu Suiliang said loudly.

"How's the relationship between these three men?" Li Xin was about to agree, when he suddenly thought of something, so he asked.

"The relationship is very good, I heard that it is a good friend." Xu Xuanche said in a low voice.

"Recruit these three people into Beijing." Li Xin thought for a moment and said, "I still want to meet these three people. However, after returning to the hometown, the soldiers in the south should be recruited quickly, first rely on martial arts, select officers, and then let these people go to the Beijing Division, and let them learn from it, and maybe they can train a few generals who are proficient in mountain and jungle warfare. ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, Li Xin did not agree to the appointment of the three, but only promised to meet the three people. It can be seen that Li Xin actually does not believe in these three people, perhaps because these three people have a very good personal relationship, and if they are in other places, it will be counted, but in the south, the mountains and forests are dense, far away from Chang'an, then Li Xin is a little disbelieving in handing over tens of thousands of troops to the same person.

"Returning to the hometown, when you go to Quanzhou this time, there is another very important matter, even if your sailor warship is not successful, you must get this matter done." Li Xin's face was solemn, and he said: "There are many merchants and travelers in Quanzhou, many of them come from Linyi, Zhancheng, Zhenla and other places, I remember that there is a kind of rice in Zhancheng, let's call it Zhancheng rice, this kind of Zhancheng rice is drought-tolerant and waterlogging-resistant, and the cultivation time is very short, it can reach three crops a year, if I guess correctly, there must be a businessman who knows this kind of rice, and my requirement is to seek its rice seeds, and then plant them in the south." Do you remember? ”

"Obey." Xu Xuanche hurriedly said. Unexpectedly, Li Xin's solemn confession was actually this matter, and he was slightly stunned in his heart, but he quickly responded.

"Your Majesty, if you can get this rice seed, my Datang will never be in danger of food." After Chu Suiliang heard this, he was very shocked and said happily.

"Don't rejoice too early, although this Champa rice is very good, it is only suitable for cultivation in the south." Li Xin shook his head and said: "To feed all the people of Datang, it is not enough to rely on Datang, but also need more land, what do the generals of Datang do, that is, use the sword in their hands to seize more land for the people of Datang." ”

"The ministers will always remember His Majesty's teachings, and with the long sword in their hands, they will seize more land for the people of the Tang Dynasty." Luo Shixin, Wei Chihong, Qin Qiong and others said loudly. The voices of the crowd were very loud and full of momentum, even Chu Suiliang, Sun Fujia and other ministers on the side were shocked by Li Xin's bold words, such words, I am afraid that no one can say it.

"Dengshan, do you know what I'm thinking about in the future?" After everyone dispersed, Li Xin strolled in the palace, this palace was the palace of the former Empress Chen, although it looked a little old, but after Yang Guang repaired, it was still a bit of an imperial momentum. By Li Xin's side, Chu Suiliang also looked relaxed.

"How dare the minister guess His Majesty's thoughts." Chu Suiliang hurriedly said.

"The south is a good place, if the army can conquer the Quartet in the future, how about supplying me with the power of the Quartet? Whether it's agriculture, or animal husbandry, or whatever. Li Xin said with a smile: "There are many rich places around Datang, such as the silver of Fusang, the gold of Linyi, etc., these are all good things. Li Xin said very elegantly, but Chu Suiliang still heard Li Xin's ambition from Li Xin's words, that is, plundering, naked plundering the Quartet, what to gather the power of the Quartet to raise the Tang Dynasty, is to fundamentally plunder the Quartet.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not the work of a saint?" Chu Suiliang was surprised for a moment, and Fang said nervously.

"Huh! Let's go, look around, Chen Shubao still knows how to enjoy it back then, go, take a look. Li Xin said with a smile to change the subject. (To be continued.) )
