The emperor drove the expedition in person, and it sounded good, but in fact, after many generals came to greet him, he saw what was called pomp.

Emperor Yang of Sui's frame was extremely wide, and the horses were all good war horses, not only dragged by horses, but also half-blindly dragged by personnel next to the frame.

Li De's dress is different from everyone else, like Li Yuan, these people are all wearing armor, and they have a kind of consciousness of being ordered by others, but he is different, wearing a special custom costume of the governor of Youzhou, which is very strange in the eyes of others.

Li De is dressed in a suit style, stepping on small leather boots, except that the color of the cloth is not serious enough, the whole person looks very casual.

The equipment was drawn by Li De on a whim, and it is also a dress that is being popularized by officials in Youzhou, and there are many customizations of this style in the Li family's cloth shop, which has developed a certain market.

The people of Youzhou are not surprised, and now they are more eye-catching than Emperor Yang of Sui.

Emperor Yang of Sui was also looking at Li De's dress, don't look at the emperor's taste of clothing that likes to spend time and drink is a certain level, looking at Li De's dress so differently, it seems to be a little similar to Hu Ren's clothing, and he is a little disdainful in his heart.

The people in the bitter cold land of Youzhou are different and cunning, and they are all dressed differently, and when they are despised, their sense of superiority suddenly increases.

"The last general, the ministers will meet Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.

Excluding Li De, fortunately, at this time, he didn't kneel down and bow, otherwise he would be able to do things in minutes.

Emperor Yang of Sui was very comforted when he saw so many people coming in front of him, he was very face-saving as an emperor, and then came to Hu'er to install the emperor and took the generals and princes into Penglai Chengnei.

Xiao Cavalry Guards and others were all arranged in Penglai Cheng and changed guards.

Yu Culture and directly took over Penglai Cheng.

Laihu'er made a handover with Yu Wenhua, at this time, even if he didn't want to, he had to change the guards, and he had no choice when the wasteland came.

The Penglai soldiers and horses who changed the guard were all placed near the seaside, and the Penglai port at this time had been occupied by Li De's sailors.

Yes, Lai Hu'er is not a fool, he sent someone to contact him before Li De's arrival, and the cooperation is to win each other, and I think this passivity is only temporary.

Lai Hu'er doesn't trust anyone else, even Li De, he doesn't trust him, but he believes that with the conditions he gave, Li De will not regret it.

The migration of Penglai's people and the matter in the harbor were promised by him, and if Penglai was forcibly occupied by the emperor, or by other soldiers and horses, the vanguard would not get benefits.

At least not as preferential as the conditions he offered.

The palace of Emperor Penglai Chengnei has been prepared, that is, a general's mansion, including the area around the general's mansion, has been situation, at this time Emperor Yang of Sui lived around the general's mansion has been stationed around 50,000 soldiers and horses, almost occupying a large area of Penglaicheng.

The city wall can accommodate 50,000 soldiers and horses, and now it is being replaced by the Xiao cavalry guards led by Yuwen Chengdu, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses of the emperor are three miles outside the city.

If there is something in the city, a stick of incense can rush over to support, and there are still a large number of soldiers and horses stationed in Cheng, and the safety is quite guaranteed.

Emperor Yang of Sui summoned these generals in the general's mansion and held a very simple meeting.

Li De has been listening, and what he is not used to is that in Youzhou, meetings are always asked to sit down and discuss, but here they can only stand, this is only a few hours, and there is a feeling of being punished for standing.

However, his harvest is still quite big, don't look at these generals and princes, there are not many soldiers and horses, but there are many people who can't stand it, and the current number of soldiers and horses does not include the emperor's 200,000 soldiers and horses, and there are already 300,000 soldiers and horses gathered outside Penglai Chengwai.

In addition, he had already heard that the Northwest Army of the King of the Mountains had sent 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the total number of soldiers in this campaign had reached 600,000.

"60,000 soldiers and horses, how is the food and grass prepared?" Emperor Yang of Sui asked.

At this time, it was like a court meeting, and Liu Xuanli, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the grain and grass currently raised can last for three months." ”

"How can it be done in three months, the matter of raising grain and grass in the military department must be solved immediately." Emperor Yang of Sui said.

Liu Xuanli was a little embarrassed, it costs money to raise grain and grass, Your Majesty, what do you do to raise grain and grass if you don't pay for it, the resources that the military department can mobilize have been prepared, where can you do more, even if you are stubborn at this time, you have to say it, otherwise the military department really can't take out more grain and grass.

"Your Majesty, grain and grass can be purchased like Youzhou, but the silver money needs to be spent from the treasury of Luoyang, Chang'an, and please ask Your Majesty to show it."

Liu Xuanli had to say, the meaning was very simple, that is, to tell Emperor Yang of Sui that now they have no money, and they must have people send money, and if it is changed to another state capital to raise food, it will be enough for the emperor to send it.

However, the grain and grass needed by 600,000 soldiers and horses cannot be raised by a few state capitals, and there is a large amount of grain in Youzhou that needs to be paid to be purchased.

Liu Xuanli didn't care about losing face at this time, and it was all for the sake of the royal driver's personal conquest, if they couldn't put it down, there was really no food, and they would all have to stop eating.

Li De listened to it on the side, originally without any interest, but as soon as he heard that business came to his door, he came to his senses.

Emperor Yang of Sui really couldn't get over his face at this time, and he didn't have a good impression of Liu Xuanli in the military department, although what he said was the truth.

"Is there a way for the ministers?" In order to avoid embarrassment, Emperor Yang of Sui did not directly answer Liu Xuanli directly, and led the topic to other ministers.

The ministers didn't think about it that much, they all understood that if they were in other state capitals, they might be able to raise food, but the amount of food needed would take a lot of time.

On the one hand, it is about raising food, and on the other hand, it is about transportation.

After the three expeditions to Goryeo, they all thought about the reasons for the failure, and the courtiers were not fools, and now they still have to start from the grain and grass side if they want to solve the problem.

There will be no lack of morale when the royal driver is in person, so buy the solution to the lack of food, anyway, there is enough food in Youzhou City, and they all know it.

It is more understandable that people are thinking about the Sui State, and the reason is very simple, using money to buy a large amount of grain and grass, although a lot of money has been paid, but thinking about it differently, it is not also a disguised consumption of Youzhou's grain reserves.

Once their food reserves were insufficient, it would be a good thing for the stability of the Sui State.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Liu Shilang said is very reasonable, and the fastest way to raise money now is to buy grain like Youzhou." That's what the ministers think.

Soon someone seconded the motion.

Emperor Yang of Sui had to shift his gaze to Li De, and at the same time, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, also looked at Li De, he already understood what these courtiers were going to do.
