Chapter 469: Doing Business with Goguryeo
Li Jing quickly learned that Cheng Zhisi and others had blasted Li Zhi away, and he was extremely surprised.
Especially after hearing that Cheng Zhisi and others used the power of thunder to blast Li Zhi away, he was even more surprised.
Hurry up and bring the guards, and then quickly come to Youzhou City.
Cheng Chusi and others hurriedly went out of the city to greet them.
When he saw the so-called artifact, Li Jing suddenly felt a little disappointed, isn't this just a copper pipe?
"Hmph, this thing must have been made by Cheng Chubi." Li Jing pointed to the cannon and said.
"How can Uncle Li be sure that King Qin made it?" Cheng Chusi was a little puzzled, why could only San Lang get this thing?
"Hmph, who else in this world is such a loser besides him? This copper is enough for several families to eat for several years. Used to cast these useless things, it is really a tyrannical thing, and in ancient times, he was not bad at the king of Jiuchi Meat Forest! Li Jing snorted coldly, obviously a little unhappy in his heart.
A cannon wastes so much copper money, so many cannons, it is simply extravagant!
Fortunately, he is not his own son, otherwise he would definitely be angry with him.
"Tell me, tell me, what is the use of so much copper cast into these pipes? If he was really so rich, why didn't he even give money and food to the people? As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you should set an example, save money, eat less and be thrifty, beg for poverty and frugality, be poor and thrifty, be thrifty and frugal, be thrifty and thrifty, be diligent and thrifty......" Li Jing gushed endlessly, seemingly saying that Cheng was doing much, but in fact, he was preaching to everyone.
This definitely refers to Sang scolding Huai.
Everyone couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment on their faces, but they couldn't refute it, after all, this is the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also their predecessor and elder.
"Fire a shot and let Uncle Li see it." Cheng couldn't help it, and hurriedly ordered the artillerymen to pull out a cannon, and then loaded it with solid bullets.
Then, only a "bang" was heard, a loud noise sounded, and then I saw the city wall collapse with a "boom".
"This ...... This ......" Li Jing was dumbfounded, the power of this cannon is too strong, right? It's incredible to be able to knock down the city walls.
"If this thing hits the city wall of Goguryeo, it can also knock down the city wall, right?" Li Jing asked with an excited look in his eyes.
"If it's a dense bombardment, even a mountain, it can be flattened." Cheng Chuhei looked proud.
"Then give General Ben a hundred!" Li Jing was extremely happy, and did not hide the excitement in his heart at all, and said: "I am going to defeat the entire Goguryeo!" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes secretly, didn't you still say that this was a useless thing to waste money before? Why have you changed your tune now?
"Uncle Li, you can't do it." Cheng shook his head.
"Or not?" Li Jing's eyes widened, how could he not use such a siege weapon?
"Now is not the time to attack Goguryeo." Cheng said.
"Huh?" Li Jing was puzzled.
"Because we have a business to do with Goguryeo." The smile on Cheng's face became even brighter: "And we also need time to train new soldiers and develop military and civilian forces. ”
……
In Chang'an City, a twist was sent to the cabinet from Shu County.
The eldest grandson Wuji and the others looked at the fold, and their brows furrowed slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" Empress Gaoyang sat in her seat and asked, "Is this plan feasible?" ”
"This ......"
There was a hint of delay in everyone's eyes, and finally, Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, if the king of Shu takes the opportunity here to divide Shuzhong and stand on his own, it will inevitably cause huge turmoil to the Tang Dynasty and the people will be displaced, so the minister thinks that it is not credible." ”
"Your Majesty, the King of Shu is the prince of the country, I think I should recognize the general situation, and now that my Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, are you still afraid of a small Shuzhong?" Xiao Yu stood up and said, the two brothers Li Ke and Li Yu still have to call Xiao Yu uncle and grandfather.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, although this plan is good, but there are too many crises hidden in it, if the King of Shu supports his own army, it will be another military disaster for the Tang Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, Your Majesty! Although the King of Shu is His Majesty's own brother, once this person's power is great, his ambition will also be great, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to balance him at that time. ”
"Your Majesty, this wind can't last long, if the generals of the Tang Dynasty all want to be kings outside the territory, I am afraid that our Datang will fall into a military disaster at that time."
“……”
Listening to the passionate expressions of these courtiers below, Empress Gaoyang frowned.
After a few minutes, he said: "After all, the King of Shu is my own brother, but the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he has such a big dream, I naturally want to fulfill him." Send someone to tell him that I have gotten to what he said! ”
……
Shu County, the land of abundance.
Li was stunned and saw that the people under his hands were wielding swords, and in front of him was a group of fangs.
This is the indigenous people of Shu County, who have lived in the mountains and forests for generations, and originally had nothing to do with Li Su, but Li Su wanted soldiers and horses, and there were only a limited number of men and women in the county, so he hit the idea on the Fang, Yue, Qiang and other tribes.
These tribes are strong and hard-working, and if they can be conquered, they will be a great motivation for themselves in the future.
As long as you conquer these tribes, then grow the world little by little, and when the time is right, you will annex Tibet in one fell swoop.
A figure came to Li Su's side in a hurry.
"Your Highness, the barbarian country you mentioned, Weichen has been found." A scribe came to Li Su's side and said respectfully.
"How's it going?" Li Su said lightly.
With the blood of the two royal families, Li Su is not simple.
"The queen has indeed just ascended the throne." The scribe said.
"You go and tell the queen of the East Woman Kingdom that Her Royal Highness wants to take her as a concubine." Li Su laughed and said, "God help me!" ”
"It's a pity, Your Highness, I'm afraid that the queen of the East Woman Kingdom already has a husband." The scribe's brow furrowed slightly.
"What about having a husband?" Li Su smiled faintly and said, "What His Highness wants is her and her entire tribe, even if she has a husband, she has to marry this king!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness!" The scribe retreated, and by this time the battle ahead had entered its final phase.
Although these barbarians are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, the soldiers in Li Su's hands are well-armed and numerous, so they are scattered in the wilderness.
