Bianjing City, Taiji Palace, a large-scale court meeting is being held, the first auxiliary minister Zhao Ding is reporting on the situation of this year's autumn harvest, the Tang Dynasty after more than half a year of drought, finally ushered in the autumn harvest.

"Your Majesty, this year, except for the fact that there is no bad harvest between Jianghuai and Huai, there are poor harvests in the rest of the places, and the simple thing is that the imperial court has given a large amount of bereavement benefits, and this year it is finally over." Zhao Ding accepted his words and sighed softly, he didn't know the situation in the world, and now that he is the first assistant, he knows how difficult it is for this family to be.

"I just want to know, maybe provide a hundred thousand troops for the battle?" Li Jing listed many numbers on Zhao Ding's recital, and Li Jing was very bored when he saw it, so he simply threw it aside and said.

"Your Majesty is going to war again?" Zhao Ding's face was stunned, and he couldn't help but exclaim. The ministers of the DPRK and China also gave birth to a trace of spirit, looking at Li Jing curiously, I didn't expect Li Jing to prepare for war again, how long has he been back to Beijing, although this year's war is relatively rare, but he has also expeditioned to Goryeo, and Yue Fei fought under Jiankang City for a while, and now the autumn harvest has passed, it will be September soon, and it is much closer to the winter of the cave in October, at this time to launch a battle of 100,000 people, that is a big war, is His Majesty ready to go south to unify Jiangnan?

"The world has not yet been unified, isn't it normal for Datang to launch a big war at this time?" Li Jing said indifferently: "I just want to know if the imperial court can withstand the battle of 100,000 people now." ”

"Your Majesty wants to use 100,000 people, then it is naturally possible." Zhao Ding was tired in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly responded: "However, 100,000 people can't be too long, two months, and the troops must be collected on snowy days. ”

"Two months is two months." Li Jing thought for a while and said: "Prepare two months' worth of grain and grass first, Yu Yunwen is about the same, be a marching counselor!" Immediately let him return to the Beijing Division. ”

"Obey." Zhao Ding saw that Li Jing had already made a decision, so naturally it was difficult to say anything, in fact, he was still curious in his heart, what exactly did Li Jing want to attack, and actually asked Yu Yunwen to be transferred back to the imperial court and become a marching counselor, not only him, but even other ministers were very curious.

"Ministry of Engineering, how much artillery has been built?" Li Jing looked at Liu Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Central People's Republic of China.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, now thirty artillery pieces have been forged. Most of them have been delivered to the military department. Liu Ming didn't expect Li Jing to look for him at this time, so he quickly replied.

"Deliver artillery to Nanyang. Prepare to cross the river. Li Jing thought for a while and ordered: "Xiangyang City is high and deep, now Zhao Huan will be located in Xiangyang, the defense of Xiangyang must be strengthened a lot, if you want to capture Xiangyang, you must use artillery, start shipping now, transfer 5,000 troops and horses, Liang Zhong personally escorted, before the winter, the artillery will be transported to Nanyang." The household department began to recruit people, send more manpower, the sooner the better, and when the army arrived, immediately set off south to attack Xiangyang. ”

"Obey." Liu Ming was very happy in his heart, if this artillery could capture Xiangyang, he would be tantamount to making a huge contribution, and it would not be difficult to seal his wife and son.

"This time, it is still the same as before, the King of Qin stayed in Beijing, supervised the country, and assisted the ministers in the political affairs hall." Li Jing glanced at everyone, although he announced the pro-conquest, he did not explain where the pro-conquest was, which was amazing.

"Your Majesty, I have countless generals in the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know how many people can recruit habitual fighters, there are many generals and commanders, such as Seed Master Dao, Wu Jue, Han Shizhong and even Gao Zhong and others are all talented commanders, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the ministers think it is not necessary, every time it is Your Majesty's personal conquest, if everything needs Your Majesty's personal conscription, then what do you want those generals to do?" Li Fu thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with King Li Jun's point of view, and the generals in the court don't know how many, so why do you need Your Majesty to levy it in person every time." Zhao Ding also spoke. Although Li Jing has more than a dozen children under his knees, and he doesn't know how many concubines and beauties there are around him, there is still a big difference between the emperor in Beijing and those who are not, and more importantly, Li Dingbei, the king of Qin, is still very young and not enough to take on big things.

"Hehe, I am the emperor myself, and it's nothing to drive in person, what's the matter, can anyone in this world take my life?" Li Jing said with a smile: "What's more, this expedition must be carried out, 100,000 cavalry dispatched, if something happens, it will hurt the muscles and bones, and I am afraid that there will be problems in the big war next year." ”

Li Fu and the others were stunned when they heard this, Li Jing had already said this, and everyone didn't dare to say anything, in fact, they were still very curious about Li Jing's upcoming goal. What kind of goal can make Li Jing pay so much attention, and actually dispatch 100,000 cavalry, this is a huge number, no wonder Li Jing is ready to solve the battle in two months, if it is infantry, I am afraid that more than one of the two months is spent on the road, this time Li Jing actually mobilized 100,000 cavalry in one go, such a huge number, who is this unlucky enemy?

"Long Chen, immediately send someone to inform Boyan, lead 100,000 cavalry to the south, and bring enough rations for yourself." Li Jing thought about it, wrote a note on the side of the case, and asked Gao Zhan to hand it to Chen Long, Chen Long didn't even dare to look at it, and quickly sealed it, and passed it to Boyan on the grassland through the harrier eagle.

"After the dispersal of the dynasty, let Du Xing see me." Li Jing also instructed: "This expedition is mainly secrecy, and no one is allowed to publicize it." Violators will be beheaded. "Although Li Jing will not hide the news that the Tang Dynasty is about to send troops for a long time, no one will know the direction of Li Jing's troops, and even if someone knows, I am afraid it will be a few months later.

"I don't know who Your Majesty is going to take on this expedition?" Gongsun Sheng had already decided to go on a personal expedition, so he could only sigh deeply and hurriedly asked.

"Gao Chong, Zhu Wu, Wu Song, Liu Ming." Li Jing thought for a while and said.

Li Fu's face was stunned, Gao Chong, Zhu Wu, Wu Song and others are all military generals, naturally there is no problem, who is Liu Ming? It was the head of the Guangbei siege work, hanging the title of the squire of the Ministry of Works, and the things produced were exquisite, Li Jing took him, which showed that the battle was not simple, and there was no civilian entourage on this expedition, which was even more weird. But it's hard to ask. There was a faint trace of solemnity in his heart, what kind of war made Hongwu Tianzi so careful.

"Duchenne marched with the army." Li Jing looked at the book on the side, thought about it and said.

"The minister immediately sent someone to deliver the decree." Zhao Ding first glanced at Li Jing, and when he saw Li Jing's solemn appearance, he didn't dare to object, and hurriedly said.
