After knowing Li Shimin's decision, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji had only one thought in their hearts, that is, the emperor is old and it is no longer the time to fight before, if it were to be replaced by before, the emperor would never choose such a safe ratio...

In fact, this is also a very normal thing, Li Shimin used to be a prince, and he only needed to think about the people under him when he did things, but now he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what he needs to consider is the entire Tang Dynasty, if there is any mistake, his throne will not be stable.

When Li Xiang received this letter, the weather was already getting colder, of course, Li Xiang's heart was very happy, because only when the weather is cold, then the Datong River can freeze, and we can get to the south bank smoothly.

There are already warships in Li Xiang's system, but unfortunately this is on the river, and the draft is obviously not enough, and if you want to get the warships out, then you have to have some small boats, otherwise the soldiers will still not be able to board the boat, so Li Xiang simply waits for the winter to attack again, and it just so happens that we haven't eaten the vast land in Jiangbei yet.

Li Xiang wrote a reply letter to Li Shimin, if you don't get too much money of 500,000 yuan, you can only give you 8 percent every year, Li Shimin will ask for 10 percent when he opens his mouth, Li Xiang thinks that this proportion is too high, 8 percent is still based on the affection of relatives, if they all mine this place in the future, the amount of 8 percent is also a lot, this is a place where you can farm, and there is a profit every year.

The most important thing is that manpower does not cost money, there are so many ordinary people in Goryeo, when the time comes, you only need to give them a mouthful of food, as for their working hours, it is best to let them work fifteen hours a day, and there are no trade union regulations here, even if there is, do you dare to control the head of His Royal Highness Taisun? Don't you want to die?

When Li Shimin announced this matter to the world, the river was already a thin layer of ice, and many rich people in the country seemed to have been cut off a layer of meat.

Although they don't know what His Royal Highness Taisun bought it for, but they are very clear about His Royal Highness's ability, look at the transactions that people have done, and now almost all of them are making a lot of money, but now it's too late to regret it, they also asked someone to inquire, this matter is basically impossible, the court has closed the purchase channel, if you want to buy it in the future, it can only be bought in the hands of His Royal Highness Taisun.

Nowadays, there is only one acre of land, which can almost be said to be given away for nothing, if these people buy it, they can buy tens of thousands of acres of land casually, but unfortunately they are reluctant to pay this money, and always feel that the future is not obvious, and now all of them have been bought by Li Xiang, and they feel that they have lost money, for these people who talk nonsense in Chang'an City, Li Shimin has sent people to educate them, since they don't have that adventurous spirit, don't be jealous of people making money.

When Li Shimin sent someone to issue them a holy decree, he actually asked himself, he has become less and less pioneering in recent years, if he has an open spirit, how can it account for such a small proportion? You should put all this 1.5 million yuan into it.

When Chang'an City felt the temperature drop, the first snow on the Liaodong side had already fallen, Li Xiang asked people to try the ice on the river, and it was no problem for people to walk up at present, but if the army wanted to cross the river, it would have to continue to freeze for a while.

However, Li Xiang had already ordered Niu Jinda to lead a small number of soldiers across the river, of course, he just went to listen to the information at night, and came back before dawn, Goguryeo arranged more than 100,000 troops by the river, and they strictly guarded it, that is, they did not let Li Xiang and them cross the river, but seeing that the river was getting thicker and thicker, these people also began to be anxious.

"How's the situation on the other side?"

On a dark and windy night, Niu Jinda led a group of people to cross the river for four hours and then came from across the river.

"The defense over there is quite tight, there is almost a tower a few hundred meters away, and they dug the river with ditches everywhere, if our cavalry passed like this, it is very likely that they will do it."

Niu Jinda took a sip of hot wine to warm up, and on such a cold night, this sip of spirits was his favorite.

During this time, Li Xiang and the others were busy cleaning up the land in Jiangbei, and the people of Goguryeo were not idle, of course, they had to purchase one defense line after another in Jiangnan, and the Tang Dynasty had already closed the door to negotiations, so these people had no illusions, and they wanted to use the last line of defense to resist the Tang army.

"How's the morale of the soldiers?"

Su Dingfang thought of another aspect, it is normal to build fortifications, many fortifications have been built for many years, but they have not been used.

"Where else is there anything, I saw a few towers of the defending soldiers, most of them are hard support, and they also lack cotton clothes for the winter, in such weather, many people are wearing single clothes, they use all the wood to build fortifications, at night there are few fires, ordinary soldiers can only huddle together to keep warm."

Speaking of this, Niu Jinda was happy, many soldiers could not sleep at night in the cold, some people wandered around in the tent, just hoping that their bodies would be a little warmer, and the weather would definitely be colder in a few days, just with the single clothes on their bodies, no matter how many leaves they stuffed into their clothes, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive this winter.

"There is also important news, I heard that their prime minister, Gai Yuan Suwen, has come to the front line in person......"

When Niu Jinda was about to take a sip of wine, he suddenly thought that he had intercepted an important clue before leaving, and the current front-line guards did not have much fighting spirit, so the prime minister of Goguryeo was ready to go to the front line in person and command the army to fight the last battle.

Li Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this name, most of the people in Goguryeo are stupid, but this guy is still a little capable, if he is on the front line, then when we cross the river to fight, we may encounter some trouble, this person is also familiar with military books, especially some military books in our history are very good, of course, what is the situation in practice, Li Xiang does not dare to speculate......
