The first year of Xianqing, autumn.

The autumn of this year is a good year, from Guanlong to Shannan, and then to Hedong and Hebei, there is the joy of harvest everywhere.

This year, corn has been planted in a large area, and a large number of corn seeds have been pulled out by the corn supervisor, and after several seasons of accumulation, today's corn has finally begun to be fully promoted and planted. Both in the north and the south, after several rounds of trial planting, large-scale planting began.

A lot of land that was lacking in the past and lacked fertilizer was planted with a large amount of corn under the vigorous promotion of the government.

Spring sowing and autumn harvest, the effort was not in vain, and the strong corn cobs made officials from all over the country happily report the good news to Chang'an.

Andong Road, one of the twelve roads of the Tang Dynasty, also planted a large amount of corn this year, and also enjoyed a bumper harvest.

The summer harvest is abundant, the autumn harvest is abundant, two consecutive seasons of harvest, the granaries in the cities of Tunzhuang Fort have been full, not only the land rent collected by the government is full, but also the land rent collected in the Yicang of various prefectures and counties is also full, and a lot of grain has been stored in the community warehouses of the people of Tunbao.

In Andong Road, the bucket rice is only two or three yuan, which can be said to be the lowest price of grain in 30 years.

Such a low grain price attracted countless grain merchants from the Central Plains to come to collect grain, and various ports were full of sea ships coming from Dengzhou.

Although it is said that grain is cheap and hurts farmers, Andong Dao has planted a lot of grain this year, and the grain output is also high, and the government is responsible for supervising the purchase of grain.

"With so much food, you can fight a big battle." Shi Liu Renliang, the governor of the Shuai Mansion, looked at the grain figures reported by the states and counties, and nodded with satisfaction.

"There won't be any big battles going on for the time being." Li Xiao looked at the report with a happy face, although this year's harvest had already been estimated, but after it was really reported, it was still amazing. The autumn harvest is much more than the summer harvest, all because of the large amount of corn planted in Andong Province this year, which does not occupy the original rice fields, but uses the corn grown in the slopes and mountains where rice cannot be grown in previous years, so that the total yield has greatly increased.

"Now that the soldiers are well fed, why don't you go directly to the Silla King City?" Liu Renliang asked.

After the harvest this summer, Andong Province prepared to send troops to Silla to defeat Kim Famin, who killed the king. As a result, the imperial court had already approved it, and also canonized Kim In-man as the king of Silla, and stripped Kim Famin's official title, and Li Xiao also ordered troops to prepare for the expedition.

But at this moment, the Goguryeo people sent troops to escort the Baekje prince Buyeo-phong to the south, and the Chen soldiers on the border, although they had not yet invaded Andong Province immediately, but the frame was put out.

The Goguryeo people obviously wanted to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty and the Silla people to fish in troubled waters.

Li Xiao had to adjust his plan again, strengthen the defense of the northern side, and suspend the dispatch of troops to Silla. Seeing that Datang had such a tough attitude, King Kim Famin of Silla had to quickly plead guilty to Datang, and at the same time sent his eldest son to Chang'an as a hostage, and sent his second son to Anton's Mansion as a hostage.

On the other hand, Jin Famin also paid a lot of tribute to the imperial court, and also sent a lot of grain and grass to Andong Province, so the imperial court was afraid of the Goguryeo people, so it had to temporarily change the decree, and renamed Jin Renwen, who was halfway there, to Linhai County Gong, and awarded the auxiliary general Shangzhu Guo plus Zuo Weiwei to general, and recalled him back to Chang'an.

He restored the official title of Kim Famin and ordered Silla to send 40,000 troops to the northern border of Andong Province to assist in the defense of the Goguryeo.

Jin Famin was very cooperative, and he sent grain and grass and troops, and finally escaped this catastrophe, but the Goguryeo people were very disappointed, thinking that the Tang Dynasty and Silla were fighting, but as soon as he sent troops, the two families reconciled.

The Goguryeo people could not advance or retreat, and did not dare to go south, so they carved a place in the south and gave Buyeofeng as his exiled court, while recruiting people who fled from Silla everywhere.

In the summer, in the end, no one fought.

Li Xiao failed to send troops into Silla, and did not fight with the Goguryeo people in the end.

He wanted to fight Silla, but the imperial court would not allow it.

And the Goguryeo people, Li Xiao is reluctant to fight at this time, after all, Goguryeo is not a Silla person, and it is still very hard and difficult to bite.

After the autumn harvest, Li Xiao's strength has risen sharply.

After half a year of intensive training, the 20,000 soldiers and 60,000 villagers in his hands are now more proficient in training and better equipped, and with the assistance of 40,000 horses and horses in Silla, the government treasury is now sufficient, and the grain and grass are sufficient.

It happened to be after the autumn harvest, the weather was cool, and the soldiers and villagers of Kanzhifu were also busy with things in the fields, and they happened to have free time.

But where to fight is still a question.

Li Xiao still wanted Silla first and then Goguryeo, but the meaning of the imperial court was obvious, for the time being, it was better not to use Silla to use troops again, after all, the imperial court had officially promised Kim Famin, and it was not easy to go back on his word at this time.

"If you want me to say, you should fight Silla first, Goguryeo is the enemy in the open, but this Silla people are the enemy in the dark, no one knows when they will be stabbed, but sooner or later they will definitely be stabbed, and it will definitely be when we are most critical." Zhao Zhiman expressed his attitude, he has always had the same attitude as Li Xiao, and he does not believe in the Silla people.

Before, the Silla people were taken aback by the tough posture of the Tang Dynasty, and Jiazi had just seized the throne by means of palace change, and the internal situation was not stable, so he had to give in to the Tang Dynasty. But now it is estimated that he has mastered the power of the Silla court, but I am afraid that these people will still be restless sooner or later.

"What's the latest news on the Japanese people?" Li Xiao asked suddenly.

"Still like that, at the beginning of the year, after the Japanese army crossed the sea and invaded Silla, they broke more than 20 cities in a row, and then the Silla people transferred troops to fight back, fighting back and forth, and it fell into a stalemate. The Silla people were unable to drive the Japanese people out of the sea, and the Japanese people did not go any further. ”

"In the past six months, the Japanese army has been transporting troops to the north, reinforcing the coastal cities they occupied, and even moving a lot of Japanese people to come over to divide the land and grant land, as if they would not leave when they came. The Silla people were in turmoil some time ago, and they were also too busy to take care of themselves, and in the past few months, it has been rare for a piece of well water not to interfere with the river water. Zhao Zhiman said with a sneer.

The Silla people were too useless in his eyes, and after letting tens of thousands of Japanese troops come in, they took root.

"Silla is a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty, how can my Tang Dynasty tolerate the invasion of my Tang vassals by the Japanese people? Ben Shuai thought that I, Andong Dao, should send troops to drive away the Japanese invaders. ”

Liu Renliang didn't understand for a while, "Dashuai, we are also at odds with this Silla, and we still want to help him at this time?" ”

Wang Fangyi laughed a few times, "Liu Changshi is mistaken, the big marshal doesn't mean to help the Silla people, we are sending troops to Silla openly under the banner of helping the Silla people." ”

"Huh?"

"Still don't understand? Let's use this reason to send troops to Silla, and then destroy the thieves, and then we can take advantage of the situation and not leave, isn't this also the same thing, and can answer the effect we want? ”

Now Liu Renliang understood, yes, destroy the Japanese people, take away the territory of the Silla people, and then occupy it by the Tang army, this is equivalent to a sharp knife that stabs the Silla people in the eye, and they dare to be dishonest in the future?

As long as there is the slightest movement, this sharp knife can be stabbed into it with one sword, and the Silla people will die or live. Even if he is worried about face now, he doesn't know how to turn his face with the Silla people for the time being, but with this army and horses, then Andong Province can safely send troops north to attack the Goguryeo people in the future.

"Great plan! High! ”

"Hahaha!" The generals burst out laughing.
