Because the current military strength is always unreliable, and reliable military strength is actually still insufficient.
Chai Shao is still in a very nervous state at present.
It wasn't until Ma Zhou told him that the enemy had retreated that Chai Shao suddenly relaxed.
As soon as he relaxed, his whole state changed. He was in a daze for a moment and almost lost his balance.
Ma Zhou quickly supported Chai Shao, and Chai Shao didn't fall to the ground, but... he was still shocked in his heart.
All I can say about Li Sheng's weapon is...oh my god.
Chai Shao now understood why His Majesty favored Li Sheng so much and even gave him the rare and honorable title of General. This was an honor that none of the generals of Lingyan Pavilion could enjoy.
But if you think about it carefully, isn't Li Sheng's meritorious service more profound and greater than all the generals in Lingyan Pavilion?...
…
Chang'an.
Deep inside the forbidden area of the palace.
Inside the Manna Palace!
"call……"
Li Shimin put down the memorial and took a deep breath.
"This is just... nonsense!"
The contents of the memorial almost made Li Er angry.
Previously, Li Sheng led troops to the sea areas that Zhongzuo passed through. This was to pave the way for the next step of exploring the South China Sea——
This matter had been agreed upon long ago, and Li Er accepted it.
Although I feel uneasy about having my own son traveling far away, I have followed Li Yuan all over the world since I was young, so I can accept this kind of thing.
Anyway, I sent Chai Shao there. He is also a veteran, so the child is not alone, right?
But recently...
This memorial is becoming less and less reassuring. First, there were bandits of unknown origin wandering around in warships, but they were still unable to be exterminated.
After that, they started fighting with this group of enemy troops, and finally let this group of troops escape again.
After all, Chai Shao is also a veteran. Li Sheng is in seclusion and busy doing other things. Why is Chai Shao such a fool? He is simply a bastard.
Isn't it just a bandit who hasn't been wiped out for so long? He almost wiped out and then let people run away. What kind of fun is this? Is Lingyan Pavilion in vain?
Forget it.
The key is today’s memorial...
There was a certain delay in the delivery of the memorial from Hangzhou to Chang'an, even if it was sent urgently by horse. The memorial that Li Er received was from two days ago.
This memorial became even more outrageous. Chai Shao actually dared to cross the vast sea with two boats and walk for more than ten days to the Hangzhou area.
The previous report said that there were many pirates at sea, and it was estimated that there were more than 40 warships, and they were definitely Goguryeo troops——
In other words, the opponent's warships may act collectively at any time.
As a result, Chai Shao dared to go to Hangzhou with two boats, and then went directly to Zhongzuosuo Island with a lot of people and supplies——
Not to mention why he made the decision to transfer the families of the Forbidden Army, well, Li Sheng is the commander-in-chief, and he can control the wild island. But...
Since they carry so much supplies and people, and the other side has many warships, and they may move together at any time, then when these two ships come and go, wouldn't they be intercepted by a large army at any time?
In case there is something wrong with these two ships,
Li Sheng's new project was blown anyway, and besides this...
If there were heavy casualties among the people on board, wouldn’t the Imperial Army on Zhongzuoso Island be allowed to mutiny on the spot?…
This is simply...
"Nonsense!"
Bang!
Li Er angrily slammed the table on the spot, with an angry look on his face.
What's going on with Chai Shao? He's really getting better and better.
At this time, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling had just walked into Ganlu Hall, holding a thick stack of documents in their hands. They thought they came to Li Er to report their work.
As a result, as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Li Er losing his temper.
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, nicknamed Fang Mou, Du Duan, not to mention Wei Zheng, were all top talents in the Tang Dynasty.
When they entered the hall and saw the scene, the three of them were thoughtful. They immediately exchanged glances and nodded.
Du Ruhui was the first to say, "Your Majesty, this is the situation of potato introduction in various roads in Hexi. I am here to report to Your Majesty..."
Yes, during the recent period, Li Sheng has been visiting Zhongzuoso Island and developing new things, but others have not been idle either.
Li Er and this group of people, the number one mission of the emperor and his ministers during this period is to promote the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
All the other things, except for Goguryeo's whole country to gather an army to go south, are not as important as this matter.
The people depend on food... But since Li Er suddenly became angry, Wei Zheng and other ministers naturally knew it.
After Du Ruhui finished speaking, Li Er waved his hand, "Tell me, tell me, what's the disadvantage in this matter? Let me hear it!"
"Uh... Your Majesty, the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes in various roads in Hexi is very smooth..."
Du Ruhui carefully reported.
In fact, of course it didn't go that smoothly, but Li Er was obviously not in a good position to add fuel to the fire. Anyway, there really wasn't a big problem.
However, when Li Er heard what Du Ruhui said, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Very smooth? Oh..."
Du Ruhui saw that Li Er's spirit had relaxed, so he asked, "I just entered the palace. I heard that Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood. I don't know..."
After asking this question, Li Er let out a long sigh. Although he didn't lose his temper anymore, his frustration was palpable.
The memorial just now looked so disturbing.
Then he talked to Du Ruhui and others.
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng also looked surprised at this statement.
If this were true, it would be exciting...
The other side is in the dark and I am in the light. The other side is outnumbered and we are outnumbered.
If we were to encounter an interception, wouldn't it be the end of the road?
No wonder His Majesty is so angry...
Moreover, if the family members of the Imperial Guards on the island are harmed, will anything happen?
If there was a true mutiny, wouldn't Li Sheng also have to die?
Li Chengqian has been disappearing more and more recently, and he doesn't know what he is secretly doing. Li Er almost never asked or showed any interest in intervening. Obviously, the matter of abolishing the establishment has become more and more clear...
If something happened to Li Sheng at this time, the entire Tang Dynasty would be in bad shape.
Everyone was frightened when they heard this. After Li Er finished speaking, everyone's breathing became rapid and their faces turned pale.
This ship must be safe and sound...
But just when everyone was shocked and nervous, suddenly there were footsteps at the door of the hall. After a while, the chamberlain came in and handed over a memorial.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Hangzhou!"
Hearing the words of the chamberlain, the pupils of Li Er, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui suddenly dilated.
Urgent report? From Hangzhou?
Damn it, is it possible...
Regarding the incident in Hangzhou, if the report in the memorial is truthful, Li Er's statement is accurate.
The two boats of Chai Shao can be described in four words.
What a disaster!
Proper.
Now Hangzhou suddenly comes to report, it is still urgent...
Could it be that...something has happened?
Li Er was stunned for several seconds, and then he took a deep breath...
