Chapter 281: The Emperor's Heart, a New Round of Expansion Plan
Li Delu, the chief attendant, presented the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Li Gen poured ink with his pen and sprinkled thousands of words.
"Chuan Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, as well as Xue Rengui."
Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui were summoned to the edict.
The three of them stepped into the imperial study and respectfully bowed to him.
Li Gen smiled and nodded, motioning for the three of them to take their seats.
"Xuan Ce, Jun Mai, Rengui..."
"I, there is an important thing that the three Aiqing need to do."
Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui have no tasks recently.
The idle ones are about to grow hair.
Hearing that His Majesty had a task to explain, the three of them stood up together, their eyes shining brightly.
"Ministers, listen to Your Majesty's will."
"Sit down and talk."
Seeing that the three of them were so excited, Li Gen raised his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down.
"Xuan Ce, Jun buy, Rengui. Cruise ships from the southern continent are once again delivering supplies. ”
"The people of Lingnan who migrated last time lived very well there, and it can be said that they have taken root."
"At present, the southern continent has been owned by my Tang territory, and a new city, which resembles the capital of Chang'an City, has already been built."
"My goal is not limited to this."
"On the opposite side of the South Continent, there is a vast North Road, whose rich resources, vast land, and abundant products are not below the South Continent."
"However, compared to the indigenous people of the Southern Continent, the Great Road already has a relatively large number of tribes and a combat-ready army."
"I, I need the three of you to lead the army to attack, achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost, and incorporate the Great Northern Road into my Tang Dynasty territory."
Li Gen's voice landed, and Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui stood up again.
"Ministers, follow Your Majesty's will, do not unify the Great Road, and swear not to return it."
Li Gen nodded with satisfaction.
With the three of them out of the horse, it won't take much effort at all.
After all, the current Datang army is well-equipped, far beyond the comparison of other countries.
The disadvantage is that because of the long distance, the battle line is too long.
In Datang itself, the soldiers have all devoted themselves to the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the construction of railway lines extending in all directions.
"Xuan Ce, Jun Mai, Rengui..."
"I, the soldiers I can give you are really limited, Rengui led 800 special combat members, Xuan Ce and Jun Mai each mobilized 500 cavalry to spy on ......"
Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui chuckled in their hearts.
Sixteen hundred? Go and fight a continent that is much larger than the Tang Dynasty.
This is in case of non-combat attrition, such as illness, or various problems caused by water and soil adaptation.
People really can't handle this.
"Three Aiqing, I have already repaired a book, Xuan Ce, after arriving in the Southern Continent, I will submit it to the Emperor Taishang and the King of Wei."
"At that time, presumably all the soldiers in the Southern Continent will obey the orders of the three Aiqing."
Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui nodded solemnly, in this way, the strength is indeed enough.
Li Gen took out a map and spread it out on the eucalyptus.
"This is the topographic map of the Great Northern Road, if my calculation is correct, several tribes of the Great Northern Road live here, here, and here......"
"Remember, don't kill the soldiers and civilians who surrender."
"We're short of people now, too short of people."
"Women, especially young women, must keep ......"
"Three Aiqing, you can understand what I mean..."
Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui nodded vigorously.
Yes, we all get it!
"Keep this map for the three of you."
"After arriving in the Southern Continent, Emperor Taishang and King Wei have read my letter, and they will definitely let King Jin and King Wu go together."
"If the Emperor wants to go along, the three of you try your best to persuade each other, but if you can't persuade you, let the Emperor go with you."
"However, no matter what, you must protect the safety of the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui naturally agreed.
"Rengui, go back to the house and say goodbye to Xueyan, you can't bring your family rolls when you march to fight, I will take care of Xueyan and Dingshan's ...... for you"
Xue Rengui said respectfully.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Li Gen smiled and nodded.
"The three of you are all my students, and it's really hard for you to let you go to the Great Road."
"Rengui, go and come back quickly, I have ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a banquet, and after the banquet, Cheng Ansheng will drive my car and send the three of you to the East Coast for a cruise."
Xue Rengui left the palace and went straight to Xue's mansion.
Princess Snow Swallow, although reluctant to leave.
But I know that the state affairs are big.
"Rengui, you can go with confidence, complete Your Majesty's will as soon as possible, and come back as soon as possible."
"Hmmm......"
Xue Rengui knew that this trip was a long way, although there was a very fast cruise ship, when he came back, it would be at least next year.
So, hurry up and save yourself with your wife.
More than 10,000 words are probably omitted here.
……
A quarter of an hour later, Xue Rengui was refreshed and left the Xue Mansion beautifully.
When Xue Rengui arrived at the palace, Li Gen immediately ordered the imperial dining room to serve delicious wine and food.
Cheng Ansheng also accompanied him to eat and drink at this time.
This kid who didn't recognize his six relatives back then and did nonsense all day long.
Since bullying his classmates in the academy and being beaten violently by Li Gen in the city gate tower, he can be regarded as a complete new person.
When he knew that his grandfather, Lao Tzu and uncle couldn't protect themselves, he was really scared at that time.
Cheng Ansheng, who is a new person, can be said to have undergone a radical change.
On his first trip to the Southern Continent, Cheng Ansheng went with the team, although it was to be with Jixiang Ruyi and them.
But Cheng Ansheng's performance, Li Gen, who later learned the truth, was still very satisfied.
So, Li Gen deliberately asked Cheng Ansheng to train with the special combat team, and now he is already a young master.
And in his spare time, let Zhao Si and Feng Wu train him, and the skills of driving vehicles, Cheng Ansheng learned from Zhao Si and Feng Wu.
Zhao Si and Feng Wu went to Hankou, and Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai were about to go to the Southern Continent to start a new round of territorial expansion.
Li Gen must always have a reliable, intelligent, and knowledgeable young man by his side.
In the end, Li Gen chose Cheng Ansheng.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.
Li Gen took the opportunity to explain a few precautions, and especially told the three of them that they could inform the Emperor and the Queen Mother of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the power supply of Chang'an City without concealment.
Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui all remembered it.
After the banquet, Li Gen personally sent the three of them to Chengtianmen.
Then, witnessing Cheng Ansheng, driving his luxury car away.
It wasn't until the car disappeared that Li Gen turned around and walked towards the palace.
A new round of expansion plans has begun, and I hope that Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui can successfully complete the task.
If so, the system will presumably give greater rewards and surprises.
