Chapter 463: Confusion

Sun Xiangfu felt early on that Wang Hao would do things on the battlefield in the northeast, however, he didn't know what he would do, so he could only continue to cultivate himself, so that the Tang army would become stronger and able to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

After having a large number of Uzi steel ingots, the speed of the production of weapons and equipment in the major workshops of Shanyang has been accelerated, according to the mold of the new chariot in Weinan, and urgently built two thousand new chariots with steel ball bearings, at the beginning of August, Cheng Chumo, who escorted the grain and grass back, escorted these chariots, and hurried to the battlefield of the Shanglu army, at this time, the battlefield situation in Goguryeo has changed a little, Yuangai Suwen only divided 100,000 troops to support the battle line of Beisha City and Liaodong City, and personally led an army of nearly 700,000, went straight to Yanjin, and even Zhang Gongjin's attack was completely ignored.

In stark contrast to the tragic war situation in the Northeast, it was a jubilant appearance within the Tang Dynasty, Xiao got the second batch of goods delivered by Shelong, and the number was more than three times more than the first batch of goods, which made his finances in Shuzhong more and more prosperous, and he even thought about building two cement roads by hand, one to Yunnan and one to Hanzhong, and then connected with Chang'an, Guanzhong.

After Chai Shao sent 10,000 troops to Yunnan to be responsible for the mining, smelting and transportation of copper ore, a large amount of copper material had already begun to be produced.

Of course, it is not only Shuzhong that is good, with the wharf of Shannan Road and the Yangtze River Basin, after the establishment of warehousing, all kinds of raw materials transported to Guanzhong have increased, which has driven the local economy at the same time, so that the number of young people working in Weinan has also increased by more than 200,000, which has led to the pace of construction in Weinan has accelerated a lot, and the output of various goods has increased more and more.

At this time, Hu merchants from the Western Regions, who had shipped all the way to Chang'an, finally organized a group to come to Weinan to purchase.

When their camel caravan and horse team came to this city that is not very far from Chang'an, the previous cognition was completely subverted, no wonder Sun Zhengming, the governor of Anbei before, specially reminded them that they must come to Weinan to see, this city without city walls is different from the style of the Tang Dynasty and any city in the Western Regions, it is born for industry and commerce, just looking at the appearance of those huge factories, can give them too much visual impact.

Before, they would never have imagined that a courtyard larger than a county town was actually just a factory, and the number of young and strong people working in it even exceeded 200,000, which was more than the young and strong people in many small countries in the Western Regions.

All kinds of exquisite and easy-to-use utensils, here, thousands of pieces can be shipped every day, hundreds of pieces of small business, people are not rare to send someone to talk to you.

All the Hu merchants seemed to have come to heaven, and when they saw these goods, it was like seeing yellow, orange and orange coins, as long as they brought these goods back to their home countries, it was all money!

Gao Sheng, the top business champion in Weinan this year, he asked each factory to prepare their own samples of various products, and wanted to focus on opening a commodity fair, because, as of August this year, the workshops opened in Weinan have been as high as dozens, so that tens of thousands of businessmen, all go to the production workshop of the factory to watch, it is obviously inappropriate, look at the samples of goods at the exhibition site, place an order, and pick up the goods at the factory, which is more in line with the actual situation.

Three days later, there will be thousands of samples of commodities displayed, and Hu businessmen can freely watch samples in the booth of the exhibition, negotiate the price with the manufacturer, and sign a supply agreement.

At the same time, for some in-demand goods, as well as existing commodities in Datang that Hu Shang did not know, there is also a promotion stage, Gao Sheng invited the performers of the art troupe to perform on the stage, and helped them introduce these commodities to build momentum.

The whole event is basically equivalent to a Datang version of the Canton Fair of nationality, Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji and others are especially looking forward to the transaction quota created by this commodity fair, because the higher the transaction amount, the higher the tax collected by the imperial court.

After Zhang Ruyan joined the art troupe, she received a performance task for the first time, and after two months of systematic training, her various performance skills have made great progress, and she naturally wants to show people a good show, so when she packs up in the room, she hums a little song.

"Let's go."

When folding a piece of clothing, an envelope fell on the tile floor, since she moved into the Sun Mansion, she lived alone, even the cleaning was done by herself, and few outsiders came into her room, but she remembered that her eldest brother Zhang Cheng came to this room when he left.

Sure enough, as soon as the envelope was opened, she saw Zhang Cheng's handwriting, and she didn't understand why the eldest brother wrote this letter to herself in an apologetic tone until she saw the last line.

'If something big happens in Chang'an after winter, you must leave Sun's Mansion as quickly as possible, and it is best to go to Luoyang for refuge. ’

"Someone wants to be unfavorable to the Sun Mansion? Or is it bad for Chang'an? ”

Seeing this letter, thinking of the mysterious Hao Gongzi, Zhang Ruyan's whole person was not good.

Holding the letter and hurriedly leaving the room, when she ran to the hall, she saw Qin De directing the servants to clean up, she asked hurriedly, "Uncle De, is Madam here?" ”

"I'm playing with Childe and Miss upstairs! Do you have anything to report? Seeing Zhang Ruyan's nervous expression, Uncle De was a little puzzled.

Now, the training task of the art troupe is relatively heavy, and there is no major event, and no one in the house will disturb Yu Xiu'er and the two children when they are playing.

"Uncle De, please take a look."

Zhang Ruyan, who had lived in Sun's Mansion for a while, knew Uncle De's status in the mansion, and hurriedly handed over the accidentally discovered letter to Uncle De.

After Uncle De saw it, his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Your eldest brother Zhang Cheng is the one who does things for Wang Hao?" ”

"Yes."

Hearing this answer, Uncle De looked at Zhang Ruyan's eyes, and he was no longer so gentle, turned around and went upstairs, and walked towards the children's playground full of laughter.

"Ma'am, there is an emergency."

Uncle De didn't say much, and after handing over the letter found by Zhang Ruyan to Yu Xiu'er, he began to tell her about Zhang Cheng's background.

Sun Xiangfu's attitude towards Wang Hao, Yu Xiuer couldn't be clearer, after reading the letter, she immediately determined that Wang Hao must have some conspiracy, however, the letter did not say what Wang Hao's specific plan would be, Yu Xiuer thought twice, in addition to the flying pigeon to inform Sun Xiangfu of the news, she also planned to enter the palace and report the news to the eldest grandson.

Empress Changsun got Yu Xiu'er's report, so she immediately summoned Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other ministers who stayed behind to come to discuss, however, after layers of investigation and consideration, they did not find that there was any change that could threaten Chang'an.

First of all, the armies of Tuyuhun and the various party departments were crushed to death by Li Ji and Niu Jinda, and it was too late to take a breath and flee for their lives! How could it be possible to attack Chang'an, and then there was the Tibetan side, if they came down from the plateau, they would first have to face the defense of Chai Shao's 50,000 army, in the case of the benefits of the pass in Shuzhong, and the 50,000 army's sharp new equipment, Shuzhong can be described as impregnable, and in a short period of time, it is impossible to lose.

As for Yunnan, now Shelong's heart is towards the Tang Dynasty, and the trade with Shuzhong is becoming more and more frequent, and there is no sign of chaos at all, and even if it is chaotic, it is impossible to affect Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away.

The last situation is that there is a rebellion inside.

However, not to mention Chang'an, even in the entire Guanzhong periphery, there is no place where a decent army can be organized, although there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City. But these 20,000 people are the most elite Qianniuwei in the Tang Dynasty, the Flying Cavalry Army, and there is no 108,000 large army, and it is estimated that they will be wiped out before they reach Chang'an City, because the equipment of these two armies is unprecedentedly high-end.

Besides, Datang is now good in all aspects, who would think about rebellion if they have nothing to do?

After the five surnames and seven families moved out, the strongest Wei family and Yang family in the Guanlong area were all people who were concubines in the palace, and they belonged to Li Shimin's ironcore, and there were almost no unstable factors in Guanzhong, which was the confidence that Li Shimin dared to rest assured that he would take the army to conquer in person, and they discussed it for a long time, but they didn't come up with a possibility, and this matter could only be stopped.

However, in order to make Yu Xiu'er feel at ease, Empress Changsun asked Qin Qiong, Dugumou and other generals who stayed behind to recruit some young people in Guanzhong who were interested in joining the army to start training, and at the same time, for the local security bureau, as well as the explosion-proof brigade, they were all gathered and carried out paramilitary training.

Wang Hao's strategy, if people can easily analyze the flaws, then he is not Wang Hao, with a little worry, Yu Xiuer still has to continue to preside over his work, Sun Mansion has hundreds of guards to defend, as well as emergency refuge facilities, external attacks, may not be able to bring fatal damage to Sun Mansion.

Shanyang, when Sun Xiangfu received the letter from Yu Xiu'er's flying pigeon, it was already seven days later, and he put down the letter, he had the same confusion as everyone, and for a while, he couldn't think of any plans for Wang Hao, but, for the sake of prudence, he still went to a letter to Li Shimin, asking him to be careful of the embankment.

At this time, the Tang army on the road attacked the city all the way, and finally arrived at the foot of Yanjin City, and the head-to-head confrontation between Li Shimin and Yuangai Suwen's army was officially started at this time.

"Your Majesty, the Goguryeo army seems to be powerful, but its organization is loose and its weapons and equipment are backward, and our army may not be able to fight against it."

Even with 100,000 horses, facing an army of more than 700,000 people, Li Jing and a senior general of the Tang Army also showed a calm look, because they could clearly observe the situation in the Goguryeo camp with a telescope in their hands.

In addition to the 100,000 cavalry of the Yuangai Suwen, the rest of the Wa Kingdom, Silla, Baekje, and the Northeast Coastal Tribal Alliance, not to mention a decent armor, that is, weapons, are all varied, not like it, with the Tang Army's solid steel armor and 100 steel-level swords, rushing into such a team, it is estimated that there will be a picture of chopping melons and vegetables, and in a frontal battle, the Tang Army's chances of victory are still very high.

Of course, the Goguryeo people also have their war culture, that is, to use the terrain, fight defensive wars, take advantage of large numbers, and fight a war of attrition, moreover, Yuangai Suwen does not cherish the lives of his subordinates as much as Li Shimin, he dares to sacrifice the lives of many soldiers to complete some tactical changes, so that he is in an advantageous position, but Li Shimin does not dare to let the army have too much damage, because he is afraid of losing the popular heart that he has cultivated with great difficulty.
