When eating wine, it is natural to talk about the attack on the Tarslaves.

Gao Tang asked, "Uncle, do you know how far away this place is from Napingliangzhou and Gyeongju." ”

Li Laohan said: "It's not far, it's only 200 miles away from Pingliangzhou, and it's only 100 miles away from Gyeongju. It's just that it's all mountainous, and there are no official roads, so it's not easy to walk. ”

Gao Tang smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's just right that there is no official road, we are all infantry, and we take the mountain road the same." It seems that this place was indeed ignored by the Tars. ”

Li Laohan said: "This is the foot of Qin Mountain, backed by the towering Qin Mountain, which will naturally not be valued by the Tartar slaves." Not to mention the Tartar slaves, the patriarch of the Great Hua Dynasty is not the same, with the natural danger of Qinshan, it has always been the most reassuring place for soldiers. ”

At this time, the second Li He said with a smile: "It seems that Your Majesty must find this way over Qinshan, which can be said to be right to the point." ”

The eldest Li Shan said: "Third brother, Your Majesty's vision is actually something that we can speculate on?" ”

The third Li He immediately sneered and said, "It's the eldest brother who taught him a lesson." ”

Gao Tang heard it but said: "San Lang is right, this is indeed His Majesty's foresight. Then he asked, "Uncle, do you know the way to Pingyangju and Gyeongju?" ”

"Know, know, I can walk with my eyes closed." Li Laohan said affirmatively.

Gao Tang nodded and asked again, "Old man knows the terrain of these two places?" ”

"I know, it turns out that I live in Lijia Village, which is twenty miles away, and I often go to this prefecture. are all familiar. Li Laohan said.

"That's good, the juniors want to ask the old man to draw a topographic map of Pingliang Prefecture and Gyeongju, and the juniors can arrange a specific battle plan." Gao Tang said.

This is a dilemma for Li Laohan, he is illiterate, let alone drawing. I shook my head and said with a smile: "It's okay for you to let me talk about it, but I can't draw it." ”

"Oh, that's right." Gao Tang muttered. Originally, he was going to send Rang to investigate first, and he was working on the battle plan. But in order to save time, he wanted Li Laohan to draw a topographic map and use his own experience to arrange the battle plan. But it doesn't seem to be working right now.

Li Laohan said: "I feel embarrassed if I can't help General Gao!" ”

Gao Tang smiled and said, "It's okay, uncle, in this way, you can take my two soldiers tomorrow and go there in person, so I can find out what the specific situation is?" ”

"Hehe, I can do this old man." Li Laohan said with a smile.

Gao Tang said: "Actually, this is a normal method, but I have a lot of dreams on weekdays, and the Tatar slaves know that our Han army is here, and if we have precautions, and even attack us, then we will miss the surprise attack." That's why I wanted the old man to draw a topographic map. ”

"So that's the case, but General Gao, even if I draw a topographic map of Pingliang Prefecture and Gyeongju, I'm afraid it's not as good as you sending someone to investigate directly!" Li Laohan said.

"That's right." Gao Tang nodded and said.

Li Laohan said again: "Actually, General Gao can rest assured, this place is inaccessible and will not be discovered." ”

Gao Tang asked, "Is this place really going to be a place where people won't come?" ”

Li Laohan nodded and said, "Except for the officers and soldiers who came to collect grain, no one else came. ”

Gao Tang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?" There are still officers and soldiers here to collect food? ”

"Yes, the Tatar court is almost out of food, and the grain collection is naturally tight. Old man, I came to settle down in this mountainous area for the purpose of avoiding paying taxes and grain, but who knows that it was still known by the government. Li Laohan said helplessly.

Gao Tang hurriedly asked, "Then how often do they come?" ”

Li Laohan said: "Normally, it is twice a year. But now that the imperial court has ordered the peasants to reduce their grain tax by half, I'm afraid it will come once a year! ”

"Have you been here this year?" Gao Tang asked.

"Not yet. But now is not the time for the crops to ripen, and I don't think they will come. Li Laohan said.

Gao Tang was relieved when he heard this. But he still felt strange, in this deep mountain, the land was cultivated by Li Laohan himself, so what principle was used to collect taxes?

Thinking of this, he asked Li Laohan and said, "Uncle, did you rent or buy the land here from the imperial court?" ”

Li Laohan shook his head and said, "This is not it, these lands are all opened by the old man himself." ”

"And they have to pay taxes too?" Gao Tang asked.

"It doesn't matter whose land you plant, as long as you are a farmer, you have to pay for food." Li Laohan said.

"And according to what standard do they collect grain?" Gao Tang asked again.

When Li Laohan heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "They have a fart standard, that is, they come to your house and take away all the food at home. ”

"And what about me hiding all the food? Or just leave a small portion behind? "Gao Tang is a little bit of a diagonal.

Li Laohan said: "If you don't have food, I'll take you to the barracks, no matter how old you are." If you don't have enough food, you will be added to next year, and if you are not enough, you will be dragged to become a soldier, or you will be a slave to the Tatars. Until you have enough tax money, you can redeem yourself. ”

"This Tartar slave is ruthless enough." Gao Tang gritted his teeth and said.

Li Laohan said: "Ruthless, even more ruthless than the rich wolf." ”

"So we have to drive them away and return the land of Han China to Middle-earth." Gao Tang said arrogantly.

Li Laohan said: "I am looking forward to this day, old man, and I finally look forward to you." ”

Gao Tang said: "Your Majesty wants to drive out the Tartars and recover Middle-earth, and this will not change. ”

"That's good, it seems that our Han people have produced another good emperor!" Li Laohan couldn't help but sigh.

Gao Tang said: "Our Majesty is naturally a good emperor, and my Han people in the Huahan Dynasty know this. Moreover, I have followed His Majesty for a long time, and I am even more clear about this. ”

Li Laohan sighed and said, "This is the blessing of our Han people!" ”

At this time, the three brothers, who had not spoken, also spoke, only to hear the second brother Li Hai say: "Our Majesty is actually the Emperor of Heaven who descended to earth, and he is specially here to save our Han people." ”

Although his words were mysterious, no one refuted them. And the third Li He also said: "Yes, our majesty is indeed a man of God." This can be seen from the thunder on the mountain to the dream that His Majesty gave us. How the big tree ran to the edge of the cliff may only be known to His Majesty and his old man. ”

A few days ago in the Qingxin Palace, when Liu Yong heard Li He talk about dreaming, he didn't tell his dream.

"Yes, that's incredible!" The boss Li Shan also said.

The third Li He said: "Actually, this is the place where Your Majesty is God. ”
