On this day, Quanzhou City, the main hall of Lingnan Palace.

Feng Changqing, Song Genhai, Huang Youwei, Lin Zhixiang, Zhang Yuanchang...... Wait, Cui Geng's cronies are all together.

In addition, Princess Taiping, Guo Yuanzhen, and even Zhou Lizhen, the governor of Guangzhou, and other allies of Cui Geng were also present.

It's just that Yu Ling's identity is a little embarrassing and she didn't come to the scene. However, she sent her confidant Yu Jiutian to say that only the king of Lingnan was the horse's head.

The reason why everyone was so solemn was to discuss how to solve the famine in Lingnan Province.

This has been discussed many times before.

Li Longji sent 108 envoys to the prefectures in Lingnan Province where grain could be purchased to carry out supervision, and now it is completely impossible to buy grain from the Central Plains.

The Nanyang countries are willing to sell, but those places are sparsely populated, and secondly, the natives have too many ways to obtain food, and they don't grow much food at all, which is a drop in the bucket.

If Silla has food, will the hemp have the courage to turn his face with the Tang Dynasty?

The Fusang people were vicious and vicious, and they also followed the Tang Dynasty to start an embargo on Lingnan Road. As for the conquest of Fuso? How can Fusang make up hundreds of thousands of troops, and his current strength is far above Lingnan Road.

Therefore, at present, there is only one target for Lingnan Province to buy a large amount of grain.

The so-called Linyi is a country bordering the southern part of the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to a part of southern Vietnam in later generations. As for the north-central part of Vietnam, it was under the jurisdiction of the Annam Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty at this time.

The rice in Linyi is harvested twice a year, and there is a large amount of grain in the country, which is enough to help Lingnan Province survive this famine if it is willing to sell it in large quantities.

However, no matter when and where, the food problem is enough to stir the most sensitive nerves of a country.

After learning that the Tang people were buying a large amount of grain, the court of Linyi immediately understood the cause and effect of the matter, and then made the decision to restrict grain exports.

Cui Geng sent someone to negotiate with Lin Yiguo, and the reply he got was that it was not difficult for Lin Yiguo to support Lingnan Dao, as long as Lingnan King Cui Geng personally went to Linyi.

Syllable!

Guo Yuanzhen patted a few cases lightly and said, "Lin Yi is a small country, it's too rude!" Is it that the king of Lingnan is the one they call and come and go as soon as they are called? At the beginning, during the Renshou period of the Great Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent Liu Fang as the head of the state road march, sent thousands of troops to attack Linyi, and broke the capital of the country. Could it be that the king of Linyi thinks that I can't get together thousands of troops in Lingnan Dao? It's laughable. ”

"That's it!" Guo Yuanzhen's confidant Wang Huan accosted: "Please also ask the king of Lingnan to order an attack on Linyi." You don't need your soldiers to go out, this battle is covered by our Anxi army! ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the echo of many people.

"That's right, beat Linyi, capture Linyi King Jiandomor, and dance for the King of Lingnan!"

"Rub! It's against him, we don't exert power in Lingnan, and he still treats us as sick cats! ”

"I heard that there are more treasures in Linyi, do people apply musk to their bodies when they have nothing to do?"

"Its state-owned specialty spit fire beads, the diameter is as big as a bowl, a peerless treasure!"

"There is also a morning cloth, although it is not too expensive, but it can't hold a large amount."

"Have you heard of Naked Grove? It is said that the little lady of Linyi is charming and amorous, and has a hot personality, and she needs everyone's comfort, haha! ”

……

In the main hall, many people were talking happily, and their faces were full of red light.

However, many officials from Lingnan Province, including Lin Zhixiang, Zhang Yuanchang, and even Yu Ling's confidant Yu Jiutian, all looked embarrassed.

Cui Geng looked at Lin Zhixiang and said, "What? Old man Lin doesn't agree with this king sending troops to Linyi? ”

"This ...... The old decay really doesn't agree. ”

"Why?"

"The old man has no doubt about the bravery of the soldiers under the command of the King of Lingnan, and we will definitely be able to win the battle against Linyi. But...... What happens after you win? ”

Guo Yuanzhen said: "Of course, I robbed them of their grain and returned to Lingnan Dao, what else will happen?" ”

Lin Zhixiang smiled bitterly: "Although the country of Lin Yi is weak, its country is thousands of miles in radius, but it is not small, and it is impossible for us to kill Lin Yi completely." ”

Zhang Yuanchang continued: "During the Taizong period, Lin Yi was on the Tang Dynasty, and the rhetoric was quite disrespectful, and the Si suggested that Lin Yi be conquered, Emperor Taizong thought about it for a long time, and did not agree, although on the surface he said that he was unwilling to let the people of the Tang Dynasty die in vain because of a few words, in fact, it was still beyond the reach of the whip, and this place could not be occupied for a long time, so why make an enemy?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen was very smart, and immediately understood the unfinished meaning of Lin and Zhang, and said: "Listening to the meaning of the two, it seems to be ...... Very afraid of offending the people of Linyi? ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just very troublesome." Zhang Yuanchang said: "The route of the Maritime Silk Road is through Linyi, Zhenla, Heling, Piguo, through Tianzhu to Dashi. Therefore, this place is the main transportation route of the Maritime Silk Road. Regardless of whether our ships depart or other countries come to Datang, they must be replenished in Linyi. If my Lingnan Dao really has a blood feud with Lin Yi, this road will be broken for more than ten years or even decades...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”

"That's ......"

Hearing this, Guo Yuanzhen lost his temper.

With a population of less than 2 million in Lingnan Province and 50 million under Li Longji, the only feasible strategy is to develop maritime trade. As soon as there are a dozen Linyi, most of the sea trade will be wasted, how can this be made?

He frowned slightly and said, "Then you can't let the Lingnan King go to Linyi, right?" If Lin Yi colluded with Li Longji and harmed the King of Lingnan, wouldn't we be all finished? ”

"This ......" Lin Zhixiang was puzzled: "Of course, the old man does not want the king of Lingnan to take risks, this fact is a dilemma. How to deal with it in the end has to be decided by the king of Lingnan. ”

Cui Geng pondered for a long time and said, "How many soldiers and horses does Lin Yi allow this king to bring?" ”

Feng Changqing said: "Up to two hundred people." There are many mountains and rivers in the border, and the climate is humid and hot, which is neither suitable for horses to gallop nor for horses to survive. I'm afraid that I really turned my face, and it is impossible to break through by cavalry, so please think twice about the king of Lingnan. ”

Cui Geng muttered: "In other words, if this king goes to Linyi as promised, whether he can come back smoothly depends on the mood of King Linyi?" ”

"Uh...... The same can be said. ”

……

Everyone discussed for a while, but there was no way to break the situation. In front of everyone are three paths: First, Cui Geng took a risk to go to Linyi. Second, at the risk of the Maritime Silk Road being abolished for more than ten years, he directly conquered Linyi. Third, with the strength of Lingnan Dao, we have resisted this great drought. With luck, tens of thousands of people starved to death. At worst, I am afraid that nearly 200,000 people will starve to death.

Cui Geng weighed left and right, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Don't say more, everyone, this king has made up his mind, go to Linyi for a walk." ”

"King Lingnan, you ......"

"Don't worry, everyone, listen to what I've said." Cui Gengdao: "Actually, it is not so risky for this king to go to Linyi. Let's think about it, if Lin Yi colludes with Li Longji to harm this king, what benefits can he get? Isn't it impossible for you to raise tens of thousands of troops and directly destroy Lin Yi? At that time, will Li Longji give any compensation to the powerless King Linyi? ”

"Having said that, but ......"

"Of course, Ben Wang knows that there are other risks. For example, King Linyi wants to detain this king and threaten us Lingnan Dao. For example, there are a lot of plagues in Linyi, and this king may not adapt to the water and soil, and he will die...... Wait a minute. However, I, Cui Geng, Cui Erlang, have experienced a lot of winds and waves, and a small forest can make me sink into the sand? It's a joke."

This last sentence is quite unreasonable.

But who is Cui Geng? He went to the Turks, pacified the Khitan Rebellion, went to Silla to steal the Buddha's finger, and went to Tubo to stir up the world.

As soon as this statement came out, it was really loud and difficult to refute.

“……”

People looked at each other, and there was silence.

After a long time, Feng Changqing knelt on the ground and said, "Since the king of Lingnan has made up his mind, it is not easy for the last general to persuade him again." It's just that in any case, you have to take me with you on this trip to Lingnan Road! If something really happens, Chang Qing swears to protect your safety. ”

Cui Geng shook his head slowly and said, "No, this king doesn't agree." ”
