[Thank you for your support over the past four months, I reached an average of 3,000 orders yesterday]
While the imperial chef was preparing pumpkins, Li Er and Li Yuanxing had already opened the seal.
Li Yuanxing's guess was that since Li Jing had also written a petition, they were planning to expand their results.
Li Er smiled and tore open Li Daozong's seal first.
After reading it once, he handed it to Li Yuanxing.
After Li Yuanxing read it, he said: "Brother Emperor, Li Daozong actually wants to go to war. On the pretext that the weather is cold now and he has extra troops, he wants to use the Dengzhou Navy to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy several large islands in the sea!"
"Can you stop it? Brother, remember that you gave Li Daozong the right to adapt to the situation. Warfare involving less than 10,000 people does not require approval from Admiral Tiance's office, and if the Dengzhou navy is under his control!"
After Li Er asked, he looked at Li Yuanxing with a smile.
Li Yuanxing nodded: "After one come and go, the fighter plane was lost. My brother believes that sneak attacks are the best strategy, not water battles. The Tang Dynasty navy is not enough to fight Goryeo, just block a few vital points, don't be greedy for credit!"
"
"It works!" Li Er nodded, wrote an order, used his seal, and then motioned to Li Yuanxing to use his seal.
Li Yuanxing used a private seal and signed his name.
The second one torn was Chai Shao's. Without reading the content, Li Er and Li Yuanxing said at the same time: "Of course this brother-in-law doesn't want to be the logistics captain and wants to go to the front line!"
Sure enough, Chai Shao asked for instructions to mobilize 50,000 men, and he also received the approval of Li Jing, the Minister of War.
Li Yuanxing suddenly had an ominous premonition and quickly tore open Li Jing's watch seal.
The first sentence of Li Jing's chapter is: When you are away, you will not accept your orders!
Li Yuanxing handed Li Jing's watch stamp to Li Er without saying a word. After reading it, Li Er frowned.
"As the Secretary of the Ministry of War, the Medicine Master is also the Generalissimo of the army and horses for this expedition. He also holds his brother's tiger talisman and the tiger talisman of your Admiral Tiance's mansion. He has the power to make sudden decisions. It's just an attack.
With two cities, the probability of success or failure will change. If one city can be successfully attacked, the other city needs to be fought hard!"
Li Yuanxing also said: "Brother Emperor, Brother Yao thinks this is an opportunity, so it is likely to be a big opportunity. According to the information he said, Goguryeo's northern defense force is empty enough to capture the two cities in one battle."
"Yes, Goguryeo has mobilized heavy troops to attack Silla. Moreover, Mohe is attacking the northern part of Goguryeo, and Jian'an has less than 5,000 troops. This is really an opportunity. The pharmacist is prepared to lose 20,000 people, but he also wants to capture these two cities.
!”
Li Yuanxing shook his head: "No, the loss is too great!"
"The benefits are greater!" Li Ercai is a careerist and strategist.
When I opened Hou Junji's seal, I found a military order. To put it simply, it was one sentence: If Chai Shao attacks Liaocheng, he will attack Jian'an. If he fails, he is willing to commit suicide and apologize!
"Wu Lang, the general's courage cannot be compromised!" Li Er also supported sending troops in his heart.
"Brother Emperor, the best policy is to cease the war when the strategic goal is achieved. Continuing the attack when you see the benefits is not the behavior of a good general. Once you suffer huge losses, it will affect the morale of the Tang Dynasty's army!" Li Yuanxing strongly objected.
.
Li Eryi slapped the table: "Wu Lang, it is your idea to attack Liaodong. Take the two cities to form a horn. You can advance, attack, retreat or defend. This is the safest way. You can ignore some losses."
"Brother Emperor, I object to making fun of the lives of Tang sergeants!" Li Yuanxing also had his own ideas.
The sounds in the study became louder and louder. The two most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty were arguing. The eunuchs, maids, and imperial guards outside the study couldn't help but move away from the study.
Li Er took out the map and took a picture: "Let Mohe attack the northern part of Goguryeo, not to occupy the land, but to take advantage and lure Goguryeo to send troops. Attack Liaocheng first, let the Khitans rush in, and attract all the backup troops. Then Jian'an is
It's an isolated city, if Hou Junji can't take it down, take his head off!"
"Brother Emperor, have you ever calculated the delivery speed of the messenger? Since it is a fast attack, it is useless to attract troops. Why not let Mohe cooperate with Chai Shao, let the Khitans cooperate with Hou Junji, and attack the city in one go!"
"Okay, good strategy!" Li Er quickly calculated the distance and the time it would take for the messenger to hear the information.
After calculating the distance between the two cities, the strength of the troops and the chance of a surprise attack, he said: "Okay, good tactics. Wulang is really smart." After Li Er finished speaking, he wrote the order himself.
Li Yuanxing quickly stopped him: "Brother Emperor, when did I agree to visit the two cities at the same time?"
"We have thought up the tactics, but we haven't agreed yet. We must fight, and the two cities will not hurt Goguryeo's bones and muscles at all, they can only hurt the skin and flesh. It does not violate the strategy originally agreed upon by you and me. Five years
Ping Goguryeo." Li Er blocked Li Yuanxing with one hand and quickly wrote the order.
Li Yuanxing became anxious: "Brother, it is easy to attack the city, but difficult to defend it. What will happen when Goguryeo counterattacks?"
"Tune Niu to Jinda, and then transfer one of the four guards of your Tiance to garrison in Liaodong. It only takes one year, and that city will become the largest border town in the Tang Dynasty!"
What else Li Yuanxing wanted to say, Queen Changsun and Wu Zhao came at the same time.
Helper! Li Er asked Wu Zhao with a smile: "Ming Yue, tell me, there is a chance in Goguryeo to capture two cities and give you 400,000 slaves. Is it good or bad?"
"Bangzi, just beat him to death!" Wu Zhao responded.
Hahaha! Li Er laughed heartily.
He quickly finished writing the order: "Wu Lang, my brother will serve as a scribe for you for once, hahaha!" Li Erlian had written the order for the transfer of the four guards of Tiance, but he did not write the name of the general and the guard.
Li Yuanxing was helpless and sighed heavily: "Brother, transfer Ashinadur to order him to attack instead of defend. He will be responsible for Liaocheng. Waiting for the king to gather and transfer to the north to defend the armies in the northern part of Goguryeo. Choose one of the twelve armies.
Guard, stationed in Jian'an City, Niu Jinda to guard Liao City. Provide backup to Ashinadur, and..."
Speaking of this, Li Yuanxing hesitated.
Li Er knew what Li Yuanxing wanted to say, and nodded heavily at Li Yuanxing.
"Don't trust those you employ, and don't trust those you suspect. Niu Jinda and Ashinadur will cooperate fully to guard Liaocheng for one year and give them a knighthood!"
Li Er patted Li Yuanxing on the shoulder a few times: "Wu Lang, very good!"
Li Er had used many surrendered generals, and he had very strong confidence in himself. He also believed that with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, these surrendered generals would not rebel, but would only become more and more loyal.
Another imperial edict was written.
Ashenadur was granted the rank of general of the fifth rank, and was given the title of ten beautiful maids, ten official slaves, and a thousand coins. He set out to conquer Liaodong within three days!
After all the orders and edicts have been written.
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "I heard your quarrel in the harem. Mingyue brought many gifts today. Naturally, there will be a banquet in the harem without you two brothers."
"Come here, declare the decree in secret!" Li Er handed all the orders and imperial edicts to Eunuch Gao, and then took Li Yuanxing to the harem.
The imperial chef has already put the food on the table. Because the quantity of pumpkins is limited, other staple foods are also prepared.
There were only four of those one-pound little pumpkins filled with candied fruits and glutinous rice that were completely steamed. Naturally, they were Li Er and Queen Changsun, Li Yuanxing and the concubines of King Qin, Wu Zhao, the four noble concubines of the palace, and Gui Gui.
Women, each place one.
Then, pumpkin soufflé, fried pumpkin pie, and pumpkin egg scones were served as snacks.
Next, pumpkin sweet and sour pellets, beef and pumpkin stew, and steamed pumpkin as dishes.
Finally, there is a pumpkin and red date porridge as soup.
"I prefer pumpkin and millet porridge!" Li Yuanxing said with a smile, but the imperial chef was helpless because all the pumpkins had been used up. However, Li Er waved his hand to the imperial chef to step back and said to Li Yuanxing: "When the new grain comes this season, there will be
How many of these pumpkins are there?”
"If you plant three hundred acres, you will definitely have one million catties." Li Yuanxing said with a smile.
Li Er nodded slightly. Having more food was naturally a good thing.
There will be a major locust plague next year. No more than five people know this secret right now, and there are four of them sitting here: Li Yuanxing, Li Er, Empress Changsun, and Wu Zhao.
After taking a bite of pumpkin soufflé, Li Er's expression changed.
After Li Er quickly tasted all the pumpkin dishes, he immediately asked Li Yuanxing: "It's so delicious, why did Wulang increase the planting area? This product is so good that the people of the Tang Dynasty will be blessed!"
“Because there are better ones, I don’t even want to take a bite of them myself, so I save them all for seeds!”
"Wu Lang is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Er praised Li Yuanxing from the bottom of his heart and waved his hands to everyone in the front seat: "Use it all and taste this delicious food."
All the noble ladies first thanked them: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, King Qin!" After thanking you, they picked up the chopsticks.
Several younger concubines were already jealous when they saw Li Er's satisfied expression when he was eating delicious food, but they did not dare to lose etiquette, except for one person. Princess Zheng Xiuyan of Qin actually reached out to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth.
Li Er ate another piece. Seeing that Li Yuanxing did not move his chopsticks, he let the three Qin princesses and Wu Zhao eat. But he was a little moved in his heart: "Come here, divide half of what I have and send it to the palace hall."
!”
Those who can study in the palace school, even as companions, have a good status, not to mention the young princes and princesses studying there. Li Er was stimulated by Li Yuanxing, and his fatherly love exploded.
The only ones who can make it are Li Er and Li Yuanxing, because if the portions of others are not small, they may not be enough.
Originally, Li Yuanxing didn't take pumpkins seriously, but because Wu Zhao liked them, he brought them to Datang. He didn't bring many seeds, just a small bag.
Wu Zhao actually planted a lot of them in the greenhouse during the winter. Naturally, the growth would be better than planting them in the field.
However, due to careful care, we didn’t eat them during the Chinese New Year, but they matured a lot in the beginning of spring. This gave Datang a lot of pumpkin seeds. After planting this season at King Qin’s farm, there will be many places in Datang after next year.
Planted.
Pumpkin is both a vegetable and a grain. It has more benefits than sweet potatoes. The only difference is the yield.
Li Yuanxing did not say more about pumpkins, nor did he mention his new grains.
That night, Li Yuanxing did not stay in the palace, but went back to General Tiance's Mansion.
"Your Highness, why don't you stay in the palace? The Queen has already ordered someone to arrange a place to stay!" Zheng Xiuyan asked! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
