Li Muyun didn't realize what kind of shock the rice seeds that were harvested three times a year would bring to Li Shimin, and was stared at by Li Er's eyes that wanted to eat people, so he couldn't help but take two steps back and said, "That, Brother Huang, don't worry, listen to me first."
Hou Junji had been dozing off before, but at this time he was completely sleepy, strode to the hall, and squeezed Li Muyun out of the old distance with one ass: "I also said that Your Majesty, the minister is willing to raise 100,000 troops, step on the forest, and bring the rice seeds back to the Tang Dynasty."
"Hou Shangshu is a little restless, don't be impatient, how about listening to King Xiaoyao finish his words first" Fang Xuanling also came to the spirit at this time, and he no longer looked drowsy just now.
Eldest Sun Wuji, Li Jing, Wei Zheng and others all stared at Li Muyun with wide eyes at this time, although they didn't say anything, but Zheng Shanguo and they understood that today's impeachment was only afraid that it would be in vain.
Li Shimin calmed down a little at this time, climbed the stairs and came down to Li Muyun, and said word by word: "Li Muyun, what you said is really that I will give you a chance to talk back now." ” To tell the truth, food has always been a problem for Li Shimin.
Although Datang can now be regarded as a rich country and a strong people, but it can only be counted, in fact, there are still many places in Datang where the people are not enough to eat, and when they encounter some disasters or famines, they can't take out all the military rations for disaster relief.
Moreover, in the past few years, Goguryeo has almost built the Great Wall, and is opening the flirtatious mode from time to time, causing the Liaodong border to be shocked three times a day, Li Shimin hated the root of his teeth for this matter, but because of the problem of domestic food, he has never been able to send troops to solve his bad neighbor.
In short, in the final analysis, everything in the Tang Dynasty is based on grain, as long as there is food, Li Er is not afraid of the people rebelling; As long as there is food, Li Er is not afraid of all wars; As long as there is food, Li Er dares to let his army fight to the edge of the sky.
Li Muyun didn't know this, and the fundamental reason for proposing the three crops of rice was just out of possessiveness and showmanship of good things, and what to make the people have enough to eat was not within the scope of his consideration, it was Li Shimin's business, not his business as a free king.
The so-called leisurely is to be free and do whatever you want, as for those annoying government affairs, let them go to hell.
Li Er waited for a long time and didn't see Li Muyun answer, so his heart slowly sank, and his eyes showed disappointment, but at this moment, Li Muyun suddenly spoke: "Brother Huang, when did the younger brother tell a lie, it really chills the younger brother to ask like this." ” "Do you know that those Linyi people are all lazy people, the rice seeds are just sprinkled into the ground at will, just harvest after three months, and then sprinkle a handful of seeds into the ground, go home and sleep for four months and then harvest again, what weeding, what catching insects, no need at all, crops grow like weeds in the ground."
Li Er, who had already lost hope, not only had red eyes this time, but even his breathing became heavy, and he turned his head sharply and shouted: "Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Chai Shao listen to orders."
The three people whose names were named by Li Shimin were murderous and came out of the crowd.
"You and the other three will lead 100,000 troops, and they will set foot in Linyi in March, and they may be able to do it" Li Er seemed to have once again become His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who was murderous back then, and his violent atmosphere was eye-catching.
With a bang, the armor roared, and Li Jing and the three of them bowed to the ground with a decisive breath: "The ministers will not regret their death, Datang, ten thousand victories over my emperor, ten thousand victories" "Wait for the army to be reorganized, and the appointment will come later."
"No" "Your Majesty, slow down."
"Your Majesty, I can't help it" "The three generals are slow, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
Just when the three of them got up and walked outside the hall, Fang Xuanling and the others finally came back to their senses, and suddenly a large number of people fell on top of the main hall, and while dissuading Li Er, they also stopped Li Jing and the others.
Facing Li Shimin's cold gaze, the eldest grandson Wuji said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, the current national grain stocks are not enough for the army in March, and the 100,000 troops will at least wait until after the autumn harvest." ” "In ancient times, Huo Hu's cavalry was able to provide food to the enemy, and Linyi was a small country, so there was no need for food for March at all, as long as the eldest grandson prepared food for a month, the rest of the matter would be solved."
Hou Junji was stopped and was unhappy, and without waiting for Li Er to speak, he had already patted his chest and promised.
Wei Zheng stood sideways in front of Hou Junji, and said sharply: "That's not good, Hou Shangshu, although the country of Linyi is small, but it is a subject country of my Tang Dynasty, Meng Shelong's crusade for no reason can still be interpreted as a border conflict, but if your military department Shangshu leads 100,000 troops and horses to step on Linyi, this is a national war, and it is a war for no reason, so that other subject countries will see me Tang Dynasty, how to see my Heavenly Khan, His Majesty."
"Lin Yi has a treasure and does not dedicate it to His Majesty, it is his sin, why do you come to cut it for no reason" Chai Shao stepped forward and stood side by side with Lao Hou, facing Wei Zheng,-for-tat.
Li Shimin watched coldly at the civil and military factions arguing in front of him, without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Fang Xuanling had already come to Li Muyun's side at this time, and stabbed the initiator of King Xiaoyao: "King of the county, say something, otherwise the army will pour out, Chang'an's troops will be empty, and the Tang Dynasty will be in danger."
Li Muyun seems to be careless, but in the final analysis, he is also a martial artist, the first time he was angry with the emperor, the scene of mountains and rivers bowing down to it was boiling with blood, and after being stabbed by Lao Fang, he pouted and said: "Lao Fang, you fooled me again." ” The corners of Lao Fang's mouth twitched, and he arched his hand and said: "The king of the county, you still need to tie the bell to the bell, you still have to come forward to persuade Your Majesty, how about Fang Mou owes you a favor."
"Why," Li Muyun asked.
"The king of the county, the small country of Linyi, if you want its food, you only need a summons from Your Majesty, why do you need 100,000 troops to ask for it When the king of the county pacified the chaos in Jiannan Road, only the non-combat attrition reached one-tenth, this is still the law of the county king who is familiar with the march of Jiannan Road, if the 100,000 army enters Linyi, I am afraid that if there is no war, half of the men and horses will be lost, so why bother."
Li Muyun was silent, of course he knew what Lao Fang said, but the so-called blocking people's money is like killing his parents, Lao Hou wants to go crazy if he wants to fight, if he comes forward to dissuade at this time, he will undoubtedly offend this military boss, after offending the Tang family and the Shi clan, Li Muyun has to consider the consequences of continuing to offend the military.
And just when he was thinking about the gains and losses, Li Shimin opened his mouth and named him: "King Xiaoyao, this matter started because of you, you can tell me what to do."
"Brother Huang, in fact, I feel that I must send troops."
As soon as Li Muyun said this, Fang Xuanling and the others all changed color, and they couldn't help but let out a long sigh while being disappointed, while Hou Junji and the others were happy.
But soon Li Muyun changed his words and continued: "But I don't think it's necessary to send 100,000 horses, isn't Meng Shelong killing it now, let's just send a few people over there to sit in the town, and at most it will be enough to bring 10,000 people." ” Hou Junji was immediately unhappy when he heard this, rolled his eyes and said: "What can a million people do, don't you want to help that Meng Shelong grab credit?"
"Lord Hou, don't you don't know the hearts of good people, Linyi is different from Mobei and the Western Regions, there are primeval jungles everywhere, the land is not three miles flat, the sky is sunny for three days, not to mention that you have an army of 100,000, even if it is a million, it is useless to get over there, because you can't use it at all, even if you barely spread out the troops, it is a big problem to contact each other."
"What's more, marching in the jungle is not so easy, after your army is separated, it is very likely that you will lose your way in the jungle, and when the time comes, it is very likely that when you find them, they will have become tens of thousands of corpses."
As the only general in the court who has crossed the primeval jungle, Li Muyun is fully qualified to say such things, although Hou Junji is domineering, he is not an unreasonable person, and after listening to it, he also fell silent, and after thinking for a long time, he did not come up with a feasible way.
Li Muyun saw that no one squeaked anymore, and continued: "Most of our army are northerners, not to mention the lack of experience in jungle warfare, and the biggest difficulty is simply not adapting to the water and soil, so I think it is more appropriate to fight in Linyi, or Nanzhao people, if our people want to participate in the war, they can only follow up with small troops, and they should have more experience." ” Li Shimin listened carefully to Li Muyun's analysis, he is not a reckless person, he knows the seriousness of the matter, and he can also listen to the correct opinions, otherwise it is impossible to sit in the position of the emperor.
At this time, seeing that Li Muyun seemed to have finished expressing his opinion, he coughed lightly and said, "Do you want to hear anyone else who has a different opinion?"
” No one spoke, Fang Xuanling and the others all knew the importance of the three crops of rice to the Tang Dynasty, and the fundamental reason why they stopped Li Er was to mobilize too many troops, and now that Li Muyun had said this, he thought that Li Shimin would no longer insist on going his own way, so he stopped speaking.
Although Hou Junji and the others couldn't take 100,000 troops to the battle, they were not too disappointed, at least they still had the opportunity to send troops, and when they got the rice seeds back, everyone had to make a great achievement, and there was no point in fighting for it at all.
Li Shimin waited for a while, then nodded and said: "Since everyone has no objections, then this time Junji will go to Jiannan Province to take charge, and by the way, bring the 10,000 soldiers who went to Jiannan Road last time." ” "Nuochen Command" Hou Jun Jile smiled, and squeezed his eyebrows at Chai Shao on the side for a while, Li Jing and Chai Shao rolled their eyes helplessly, and no one paid attention to him.
However, Zheng Shanguo had an idea at this time, and said to Li Muyun: "King Xiaoyao, I don't know where you got the idea of rice seeds that are three crops a year in this Linyi country, if you find that there is no such thing after the army is transferred, what should you do?"
Li Muyun's nose is not a nose, and his face is not a face, and he asked rhetorically: "Why are you old guy so blind, Lin Yiguo is doing things at the border, and my imperial brother sent troops to suppress it, what is the matter with rice planting":
