Chapter 80: Give your hearts to the king, to the empire!
Spring ploughing has arrived.
Everything recovers.
Li Kuan knew that it would not be too calm, but he didn't expect that the Turks didn't move, but the Tang Dynasty moved.
It's really, unexpectedly...
And Empress Xiao behind her, when she heard the news, her attention was all focused on the letter in Xin Qiji's hand.
She seemed to be expecting something, and it seemed... I'm afraid of something.
"Your Majesty..."
Xin Qi stopped talking and glanced around, as if he wanted Li Kuan to let these idlers retreat.
He was anxious just now, and he shouted out for a while, already remorseful.
This kind of military intelligence event should not be so publicized!
Li Kuan smiled and said, "It's okay, let's talk about it." ”
The king of Chu was as undisguised as ever.
Even if the military situation endangers the entire Yanyun City, this is the case....
He's always been like this, always like this!
Arrogant and wide open.
Xin Qiji sighed and said, "That's good, Your Highness!" Cheng bites the gold rate of three thousand Vermilion Bird Guard...."
Crunch....
Xin Qiji was halfway through his words, and the teacup in Li Kuan's hand was almost crushed by him.
"Suzaku Guard? Are you sure it's Suzakuwei? ”
The King of Chu, who has always been free and easy, is actually angry at this moment.
Xin Qiji nodded: "Yes, after Tang Emperor Li Shimin exterminated the Vermilion Bird Battalion of our army, he used the captured Vermilion Bird Battalion equipment to form a new Vermilion Bird Battalion, which belongs to the Tang Dynasty....Vermilion Bird Battalion." ”
Li Kuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his chest continued to rise and fall, and he immediately said calmly: "You go on." ”
Although the voice was calm, everyone knew the monstrous anger hidden in this voice, that is, even Queen Xiao was clear, and she hurriedly took a few steps back, for fear that King Chu would be angry.
Xin Qiji nodded and continued: "In addition to the three thousand Vermilion Bird Guards, there are also two thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and in Youzhou, five thousand Youzhou cavalry led by Chai Shaosuo will join forces to attack my Yan Country!" ”
"According to the Zheng family's intelligence, the purpose of their Northern Expedition was to plunder the people on the border of the Tang Dynasty in winter because of our Yan Kingdom, but in fact this is not Li Shimin's purpose, his real purpose is to use this division to become famous, use the war to divert domestic contradictions, and temporarily focus everyone's attention on this war, so that he can take the opportunity to eliminate domestic contradictions."
That's the benefit of intelligence.
Li Shimin didn't even know who the emperor of Yanguo was, maybe he didn't bother to know, after all, Yanguo was separated from Liang State, and he was not afraid of the complete version of Liang State, let alone Yanguo after the separation.
Even so.
Li Shimin still didn't know too much, and they knew everything about him......., and even knew the purpose of his expedition.
And because of this.
Why was the intelligence agency in charge of Youji destroyed by General Tiance, and the Ministry of Chu Wang will rebuild the intelligence agency at all costs as soon as possible.
Intelligence, it's so important, it's so important....
Li Kuan smiled lightly: "So, I, Yanguo, have become a pawn in his chess game?" ”
After a pause, Li Kuan suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled.
"Hahahaha! Father, it's really what my father would do. ”
"Then I also want him to know who is the chess piece!"
"Mr. Xin, you go and call the White Tiger to me, and in addition, inform the people and the army of Yan Guo and tell them that Yan Guo is going to fight! Fight, defend the country!! ”
"Call on them to assemble in the Yanyun Imperial City! When the sun sets in the afternoon, it is the time for our army to set out! ”
Today's Yanyun City has been completely mastered.
The 40,000 people from Fushui Town, and the 20,000 people who joined from the Tang border in winter, add up to a total of 60,000 people, all of whom live in the inner city of Yanyun City.
Yes.
Inner City.
Li Kuan spent the whole winter building Yanyun City into an inner city and an outer city.
The inner city was the place where 60,000 Han Chinese and 20,000 troops lived.
The outer city is the place where 250,000 people of the original Yanyun City live.
Throughout the winter, the original 300,000 people in Yanyun City, 50,000 thorns were killed, and the rest basically dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
So, they'll stay out of the city.
And whoever dares to be angry and speak out, it will not take two hours for him to die in the dark.
This is a city ruled by force!
More than 60,000 Han people in the inner city, above all else!
They are no longer slaves, they are the people of the new Yanyun City, and the whole Yanyun City serves them.
And those people of the original Yanyun City are no different from slaves.
"Your Majesty, the last general will take orders!"
Xin Qiji gave up his hand and slowly retired.
Soon after he left, General White Tiger arrived at Yanyun Palace.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"
General White Tiger asked.
Li Kuan nodded and asked, "White Tiger, there is a new battle to be fought, how is the expansion of your White Tiger Battalion?" ”
When General White Tiger heard this, his eyes that were originally Gu Jing Wubo became dim: "What else?" It is still about 2200 soldiers, and there are many soldiers who meet the combat ability of my White Tiger Battalion, but! We don't have the right horses for them! ”
"The white-robed army of the little Confucian general has always been more than 5,000 configurations, and it can't be full of 7,000, which is the same reason."
The desert environment of Yanyun City does not produce horses, and there is only one city in the Yan Country, so there are no new horses to replenish at all.
There are some horses for sale in Yanyun City, but they are all inferior horses, and they can't outrun the Turkic horses at all, so what's the use of buying them?
If you cultivate it yourself....
Cultivating war horses and cultivating ordinary horses are completely different in nature, ordinary horses have stronger endurance and can withstand hard work.
However, it is very unsuitable for galloping back and forth on the battlefield, running thousands of miles, so it is necessary to breed war horses with good breeds and tall and strong physiques.
And the real key factor in breeding war horses, one is money, and the other is horse breed.
In terms of the strength of Yanyun City now, there is no shortage of money in general, at least if you want to cultivate war horses, you can definitely get this money.
The real difficulty lies in the horse breed, which is the key to Yanyun City's inability to produce itself.
In other words, Yanyun City will never be able to produce horses!
Li Kuan nodded: "I knew about your situation early, so I also contacted Jin Chunqiu Jianwu of Silla two months ago. ”
"In the past two months, I have established contact with Jin Chunqiu, so they will sell us fine horses."
Speaking of contacting Silla, it was a last resort.
The Yan Kingdom is embattled, unless there is a war, there will be no way to get horses elsewhere in the era of peace, and the Turks and the Tang Dynasty will not sell horses to them.
Therefore, we can only contact Silla and other countries that do not receive it.
Long-distance and close-range attack, this is also the current national policy of the Yan country.
However, Silla has always been at odds with the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and after learning that the Yan State had seceded from the Liang State and became a bridgehead to contain the Liang State and the Turks, he naturally had no objection to establishing a cooperative relationship.
After two months of contact, Li Kuan has asked Jin Chunqiu to reach a consensus that Jin Chunqiu will prepare a batch of good horses, and he, Li Kuan, will buy them with money and will trade them in a month.
But now.
War is imminent, and it can only be advanced.
"Your Majesty, Silla has good horses?" General White Tiger was surprised.
Li Kuan nodded: "The Liaodong war horses they have cultivated are no worse in mobility than our army's Jiangdong war horses, and if they are installed in our army's unique saddle, they will be even faster." ”
General White Tiger's eyes widened.
In that part of the Liaodong Peninsula where Silla is located, there are still excellent breeds of war horses, and he really doesn't know about this.
In the concept of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces and even the Tiance general Li Shimin, the territory of Liaodong occupied by Silla was nothing more than a group of bitter haha.
Ambition is really ambitious, but poor is also quite poor, I didn't expect them to have a Liaodong white horse worthy of His Majesty's praise.
He didn't believe what others said, but this was what the King of Chu said!
General White Tiger believes it better than anyone else.
"Your Majesty, that....that! I'm going to go now? General White Tiger was a little excited.
He misses the time when the White Tiger Battalion was full.
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Well, wait for me to write a letter, you and your White Tiger Battalion, and then bring eight hundred White Tiger Guard reserves, and then you can go to Silla." ”
"Remember, this journey is far away, and your goal is only Silla, don't delay."
General White Tiger smiled: "Good! ”
Subsequently.
Li Kuan immediately wrote a letter and handed it to General Baihu, and then General Baihu retired and left.
Li Kuan himself returned to the palace, looked at Empress Xiao, and said calmly: "Concubine Xiao, change clothes for me." ”
Empress Xiao's beautiful eyes flickered, and she bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is ordered." ”
She changed clothes for the king of Chu.
No extra words, quietly change clothes.
Halfway through, the voice that had always scared her sounded.
"Concubine Xiao, do you miss the Tang Dynasty?"
Empress Xiao was stunned, and then hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, the concubines and the Tang Dynasty are like fire and water, the first emperor....The first emperor died tragically in the land of the Tang Dynasty, how could he think of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Li Kuan smiled and said: "I made a mistake, I should say, are you....want Yanyun City to be broken by the Tang army?" ”
Empress Xiao hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the concubines....the concubines don't dare!!" ”
"It's okay, just talk about it."
Li Kuan laughed, then looked at Empress Xiao seriously, and said, "Concubine Xiao, raise your head." ”
"Yes."
Empress Xiao raised her head and looked at Li Kuan.
The look in this man's eyes....
His eyes, for some reason, always made her feel nervous, as if under those deep eyes, she didn't have any secrets, which was frightening.
But Empress Xiao still tried her best to stay calm.
Soon.
Hurriedly bow your head.
She's still....unbearable....
Empress Xiao spoke: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, the concubine wants to continue to help you change your clothes." ”
Li Kuan smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you and my husband and wife, you can talk casually." ”
Talk?
What's there to talk about?
Empress Xiao didn't know Li Kuan's intentions.
And Li Kuan's next sentence made his face change dramatically.
"Concubine Xiao, in the past few days, there have been two more guards under your command, who have escaped from Yanyun City by taking advantage of the vacancy in the city wall, why do you repeatedly send people out to tell Liang Guo and even the Turks, and tell them about the situation in Yanyun City."
This is true.
made Empress Xiao shocked.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty. ”
Her red lips were trembling.
Li Kuan looked at the frightened Empress Xiao, and still smiled: "Concubine Xiao doesn't have to worry, it's just....just chat casually." ”
"Your Majesty, concubine, concubine......" Empress Xiao was speechless for a long time.
"I can't tell."
Li Kuan was still smiling in the last sentence, and his attitude became indifferent in the next sentence: "Then let me say it." ”
"Concubine Xiao, I don't care what small moves you made before, but in this upcoming war, I won't allow you to make any more small moves! During this war, you were first the concubine of the emperor of Yanyun City, and then you were a weak woman who wanted to escape from the demon cave!! ”
"Can you understand?"
The voice fell.
Boom!
These words were like five thunderbolts, which made Empress Xiao's eyes widen.
Originally....
It turned out that what she had done before, this man....this man, he....he had known it all along.
But they all turned a blind eye, never brought it up, or even turned a blind eye!!
"Your Majesty, the concubine....the concubine understands."
Empress Xiao knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly.
Li Kuan saw it in his eyes, his eyes flashed with inexplicable charm, and he said: "Concubine Xiao, I am reminding you that wartime and non-war are two concepts!" ”
"The matter is urgent and slow, you, can you tell clearly?!"
Empress Xiao swallowed her saliva and nodded again.
"Now that you understand, let's go down."
"Change clothes, I'll let others do it! You should rest early, after all, tomorrow is the day when you meet your grandson Yang Zhengdao, it's time to get ready! ”
Li Kuan waved his hand.
An eviction order was issued.
Empress Xiao's delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly retreated slowly.
When she left Yanyun Palace, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Touch the back.
I found that it was already covered in cold sweat.
King of Chu....
This man, he, he really, is terrifying....
Empress Xiao was terrified.
But fortunately, I finally got out of the place where the man was, for the time being, and left....
Empress Xiao looked back at Yanyun Palace, her beautiful eyes full of trembling and fear.
And when she returned all the way to her palace, she was greeted by a large package.
Empress Xiao frowned and said, "Why is this thing in front of the door?" ”
The maid next to her came over and said, "Niangniang, this is prepared for you by His Majesty, so that we can't move, and said that you must open it yourself." ”
Empress Xiao's beautiful eyes became panicked, that man....prepared?
In a split second.
In her heart, endless fear swelled.
Under the witness of many eunuchs and maids, as well as the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun who were hiding in the shadows, Empress Xiao slowly opened the package.
"Ah!!!h
As soon as she opened the package, she threw it away in fright.
In an instant, many heads rolled out of the package.
Those ones were all people sent out by Empress Xiao outside Yanyun City during this time.
She was always full of hope, wanting the Turks and Liangcheng to better understand the military power of the King of Chu, so as to implement a better siege plan, but everyone was dealt with by the King of Chu not long after they left Yanyun City....King Chu dealt with....
Now.
Looking at the rolling on the ground, one by one extremely familiar heads, frightened! Endless horror! Emerges from the inner and outer appearance of Empress Xiao.
At the same time, the hope in my heart to escape is gradually dying....
You can't escape, you can't escape....
That man is too terrifying, and he and his grandchildren will never....never escape....
A deep despair poured into the heart.
Thinking of this, the tears that are not angry keep sliding down the corners of my eyes.
Empress Xiao is desperate, is it true....she can only be around that man for the rest of her life....
She is unwilling, but there is no way.
Dark.
The two Yanyun eighteen horsemen who saw this scene, the remaining one continued to monitor Empress Xiao, and the other went to Yanyun Palace to report to the King of Chu.
….….….….….….
Yanyun City, the inner city.
This is the place where the Han people who are loyal to the Yan country live and are loyal to the Yan country.
Although the facilities in the inner city are better than those in the outer city, sometimes, the people in the inner city still have to go outside to buy groceries.
Today, however, something unusual happened.
"Bang!!"
A former citizen of Yanyun City pushed down the people of the inner city, his eyes were bloodshot: "Why! You used to be my slave, slave Awu, a slave of my family! ”
"Why do you stand on my head, and why do you !!?"
The man's bloodshot eyes made the people named "Ah Wu" extremely frightened.
He was afraid, he was too afraid.
I used to be a slave to that man, and I was tortured so much that I didn't even have a finger.
How terrifying that person was, Ah Wu couldn't have known better.
He didn't dare to resist.
This has become an inertia, as long as you resist, you will be beaten, it was always like this before, and now even if you turn over, you are afraid.
Ah Wu was prostrate on the ground, holding his head in his hands.
He was afraid that the person would hit him, and when he used to beat him, this posture was the least painful, at least to save his head.
"I, I didn't want to stand on your head."
Ah Wu replied weakly.
When the man saw Ah Wu showing weakness, his face became even more fierce: "Hahaha, you still know that you are my slave!" Now that the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom has held your position high, so what? Slaves are slaves forever! ”
"You Han people in the Tang Dynasty will always be my border slaves! It is the same with you clothed in luxurious clothes!! ”
The man smiled heartily, and his words were also affirmed by many people in the surrounding Yanyun City.
Oh, yes!
Slaves will always be slaves!
Why do these people live in the inner city?
They in the outer city should have lived in the inner city, and they are not slaves!
However.
It didn't take long for the SDF soldiers to approach.
One of the soldiers glanced at the fallen people of the inner city, crouched down to help him up, and then asked around: "What's the matter?" ”
The person who pushed Ah Wu to the ground was a little scared, but he still sneered: "Master Jun, this is because he accidentally fell to the ground, I didn't do anything, we didn't do anything, everyone said, isn't it!" ”
All around were the people of the outer city, and they all echoed it.
"That's right! It was he who fell to the ground! ”
"That's right, that's right!"
“…….”
Public opinion was on that person's side, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he was not targeted by these murderous people who didn't blink.
However, the next moment, I saw the soldiers of the Self-Defense Army laugh and said: "In this way, let the noble people of the inner city fall to the ground, that is the sin of you people." ”
"The closest, just you, kill the public, and the people around you will all be hit by thirty boards!"
As soon as this remark came out.
Everyone was shocked.
"What, how can this be!"
"Yes, you can't!"
"The law doesn't blame the public, military master!"
Does the law not hold the public accountable?
The so-called law ....
In this Yanyun City, this Yanyun City ruled by that man, the people of the inner city are above all else, they are the king's law!!
And this soldier of the Self-Defense Army, he was also a Han slave, and he couldn't get used to these people.
No mercy.
The Self-Defense Army soldier drew his knife and killed the man who pushed Awu to the ground on the spot, and the rest of the people would soon be hit with 30 boards.
"Are you alright?"
The SDF soldiers looked at Awu.
Ah Wu looked at the dead and former owner tremblingly: "He, dead?" ”
"Well, dead, he made you fall to the ground."
The Self-Defense Army soldier nodded without being salty.
The truth may not be so, but the real truth, no one cares.
This group of former Yanyun City people are all slaves.
They will have great resentment, but so what? All the force is in the hands of them, the Han slaves of Youzhou.
That man!
Yu Yanyun Palace led their men and gave them the power to do it all!
"I, I used to be his slave."
Ah Wu hugged his head.
Confused eyes.
It seems that he didn't expect that the extremely fierce and terrifying master in his memory would die so easily.
The Self-Defense Army soldier patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Now, they are our slaves." ”
"This is the right that His Majesty has given us, and he has made us, above all else."
"And...."
I was about to continue, but there was a white-robed army galloping nearby, constantly shouting: "All the people in the inner city, gather in front of the imperial city!" ”
"All the people of the inner city, gather in front of the Imperial City!!"
He kept chanting and drove away.
The self-defense soldier's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "Let's go, go and see Your Majesty." ”
"Meet the man who freed us from slavery and gave us supreme power over the people of Youzhou!"
.
…….….….….….
In front of the Imperial City.
It was home to many people and soldiers from the inner city.
A sea of people.
They waited for a long time, and some of them waited for the sun to set from noon, but even so, there was no dissatisfaction.
Wait patiently, and from time to time they will talk to each other.
"Knock knock!"
Finally, the gate on the high platform slowly opened.
Many civilians and soldiers, watching the black figure with a mask appear, were short of breath and their faces were bloodshot.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
“…….”
They shouted, they shouted, they went crazy ....
They want to hold up the man who freed them from slavery and empowered them!!
At this moment, Li Kuan was on a high platform, opened his hands, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the hot shouts of ten thousand people for him.
The shouting never stopped, even covering wave after wave, and some people were trying their best to shout even if their voices were hoarse.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty....
Half a day.
Li Kuan stretched out his hand, and the wave of shouts that was enough to shake the sky gradually stopped.
It didn't take long for the whole screaming land to become dead silent.
No one is talking.
They were all staring at the man.
A pair of eyes, a hundred pairs of eyes, a thousand pairs, ten thousand pairs....
Their eyes were all watching, and there was only the presence of that man in their eyes at the moment.
The same.
Li Kuan was also looking at them, and said calmly: "You all support this king, yes!" Always advocated, always advocated! ”
"You all think that this king is omnipotent, as if there is nothing in the world that this king cannot accomplish."
At this moment, he said that this king is not me, and he uses the voice that the people are more familiar with and affectionate "this king".
And when the people heard this, most of them were surprised, didn't they?
In the world, there are still things that His Majesty can't do?
"No, no!!"
Li Kuan's voice became high, and he opened his hands and said, "This king is also a human being, and he will also fail!" ”
"And this king has been a loser since birth!"
"In that Tang Dynasty, just because he was born a few days behind the crown prince Li Chengqian, this king was snubbed by Admiral Tiance, and even died of illness, and General Tiance never took a second look."
"Why? Because this king is a concubine! ”
"Hahaha!!!!"
"Hahahahaha!!!!ha
"Just because, a ridiculous concubine, this king is more sad than a dog, and then this king came to life, thinking that he is not good enough, so this king....continue to learn, continue to attack, continue to lead people, for the Tang Dynasty to lay down the territory!"
"The world calls this king the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and this king thinks that so....the heavenly general can look at this king more, but it is wrong! Miss by a mile! ”
"The Turks invaded Weishui, and they asked Admiral Tiance to send protons, and Admiral Tiance could have sent other protons, but he sent this king instead."
"Hahaha!!!"
"The many deeds of this king did not let Admiral Tiance take a second look, but instead....made him afraid!!"
"Hahahahaha!!"
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!!"
Li Kuan vented his dissatisfaction.
And in the audience, the crowds of people, their eyes were full of bloodshot and hatred.
They will not allow, their own king, to be wronged!
"So, this king is a loser! Utter loser!! ”
"You think this king is omnipotent, but this king is just a loser!"
"But it just so happened that this king met you, and you are also losers!"
"Some people have lost their families, some have been war-torn and some have become slaves..."
"In your hearts, you all have too many grievances, and this king also has it! So, we've come together! Together, we created this paradise that only belongs to our losers!! ”
"This is our Pure Land, a Pure Land where we can look at those victors at eye level, isn't it!!"
The voice fell.
The cries of tides, waves, and thunder swept in.
"Yes!!"
"Yes!!"
"Yes!!"
“…….”
People responded with blood-red eyes in their eyes.
"Now, if someone wants to destroy this pure land, what should I do?"
Li Kuan asked in a loud voice.
"Punishment!"
"Punishment!"
"Punishment!"
Thousands of voices shouted hoarsely, burning their faith, and rushed straight into the sky.
"Even if that person is Datang, he is the general of Tiance!"
Li Kuan asked in a loud voice again.
"Fearless!"
"Fearless!"
"Fearless!"
“…….”
People were still screaming with blood-red eyes.
They had gone mad and had become loyal believers in that man.
Like the elders of Jiangdong, he became a believer in that man with loyalty.
They have to hold up that man regardless of everything, even if they give their lives!
And that man will never lose his trust in them.
He said he wanted to give them a home!
Give a home to all losers!
But these losers can still have a place to survive in this world!
So!
He gave them this pure land, gave them the dignity to be human again, and gave them the right to be human beings.......
Just as they held him high, he was holding them high.
Historically, in order to deal with the families inside, the capture of a certain city, in order to deal with the inner family, has always stepped on one hand, stepped on the inner family, and held the outside family, so as to form a balance.
But he won't!
He wants to help all outsiders and Han people to the top and go up there, to the highest position!!
"Hahahahahaha!!ha
Li Kuan on the high platform smiled, laughing wantonly, looking up at the sky with open hands and laughing arrogantly!
Immediately, his eyes looked at 10,000 people.
"May it be for the king, for the empire! Give your hearts!! ”
The voice fell.
Without any hesitation, the voice boiled again, as if it wanted to pierce the sky.
"Wish!"
"Wish!"
"Wish!"
“…….”
They didn't hesitate, they didn't hesitate at all, and they were willing to give everything for that man.
"Okay, then let Datang know that the Yan country entrenched in their north is not a persimmon that can be pinched at hand, but a wolf with ambition!"
"The oracle of the king, five thousand Wei soldiers, from now on, outside the Yan City, the army of the Tang Dynasty will be conquered!"
"We're going to fight, national war!"
"The New Empire and the Old Empire, the First Battle, the War of Nations!!"
.
…….…….….….
In the afternoon of the same day.
Wei Wushu, who was the commander of 5,000 Xin Qiji, and Chen Qingzhi's more than 5,000 white-robed troops, under the hot eyes and cheers of the people in the inner city, with the hope of the whole city, invaded the Lechuan Gorge outside the city.
Lethe River Gorge, the terrain is steep.
It is the only link between Yanguo and Datang, and it is also the most natural defensive location.
It can be said that as long as the Lechuan Gorge is guarded, Datang will not want to touch Yanyun City.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Lechuan Gorge that Datang has never mobilized troops against Yanyun City.
….….….….….….
Meanwhile.
Datang, Chang'an City.
It has been a month since Cheng Yanjin left the army from Chang'an City, and in addition to the thunder at the beginning, the people have once again thrown themselves into the burning spring ploughing.
Wannian County.
Guojiazhuang.
"Okay, okay, a new batch of quyuan plows has arrived, and they're all ready to work."
A certain family Guo Yunqi shouted.
"Dad, it's coming!"
Guo Yun and his wife and their three children walked towards the fields at the head of the village.
When he reached the ground, it was true that the people had already begun to work.
They were ploughing the land with curved ploughs.
"Damn, I have to say, this quyuan plow is really easy to use!"
"Hahaha, I don't need cattle anymore, I didn't expect there to be a day when ploughing cattle didn't work!"
Guo Yun's father happily put the Quyuan plow on the ground and tied the rope himself.
If it is normal, whether it is plowing or ploughing, there is almost nothing to do without cattle.
At that time, the people couldn't afford to raise cattle, so they could only rent, but the money for rent was also distressed!
Now, I can finally get rid of the cow's constraints.
It's just that people are tired.
However, Guo Yun's father likes it very much, and other people also like it.
The most worthless thing for the people is the strength of this body.
"I don't know if this new curved plow is good or not."
"Then again, it's really weird, why don't you use the old zigzag plow?"
Guo Yun patted the handrail of the new Quyuan plow and said, "Dad, it must have been upgraded, look, this iron plow is much bigger than the old one before, and it is definitely more effortless than before!" ”
Guo Yun's wife echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, what Xianggong said is!" ”
Old man Guo laughed and said, "It's still you kid who is smart, forget it!" Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, let's stop grinding. ”
"Little guys, come here, one rope per person, pull hard for me!"
Both children picked up their own ropes.
Guo Yun spit twice into his hand, rubbed it, and picked up the one that belonged to him.
His wife was holding on to the handle.
"Walk you!"
Old man Guo shouted and gave an order.
Qu Yuan plow, moved.
Guo Yun and Old Man Guo are like two old oxen, hunched over and struggling forward, and after a while, they are sweating profusely.
"No, no, stop."
Halfway through, Guo Yun waved his hand, stopped, and sat on the ground.
Old man Guo's arm was also a little trembling.
"What's going on, how did it get so heavy?"
"His grandmother's is much heavier than the old Quyuan plow half a month ago."
Old man Guo scolded.
"Dad, maybe it's the weather, so the ground has become hard." Guo Yun's wife said.
Guo Yun also nodded again and again: "Yes, it should be like this, huh....go, let's continue!" ”
After a pause, he got back to his feet, rubbed his hands together, and screamed.
The plough is re-moving.
But, walking and walking, suddenly!
Guo Yun, Old Man Guo and two children drilled directly to the front.
Guo Yun's wife also stumbled and fell directly to the ground.
"Oops!"
Old man Guo shouted, I don't know why, I don't know what happened.
He was fortunate to react quickly, otherwise, he would have to fall and chew.
"What's going on? What's going on? Guo Yun hurriedly asked.
His wife shook her head blankly.
Guo Yun hurriedly stood up and went over to check.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw it, I was shocked.
The iron pear head was broken directly?
Half of the iron ploughshare was deeply embedded in the earth, and when it fell on the curved plough next to it, only the mounting handle of the iron ploughshare remained.
All of a sudden, Guo Yun was directly stupid.
"Holy shit, pit man!"
"The government has snatched the good one away and replaced us with a bad one!"
When Old Man Guo saw this, he was angry and scolded again.
The earth is the root of the people.
Unexpectedly, the government would still fool the people on this.
"Dad, don't call it, it's not necessarily a matter of the government, we may be coincidental."
Guo Yun said.
But.
Soon, the people who were farming next to them all stopped one by one, fast or slow.
They were all dumbfounded.
When everyone asked, it was all about the broken iron plowshare.
All of a sudden, the people were angry and organized a group to find the government.
The government must be responsible for this!
If only one or two had an accident, they might not complain about the Guanfu, but all of them had problems, which means that there must be something wrong with this new Quyuan plow.
Chang'an City.
Many heads of families couldn't stop smiling when they listened to the money they had earned from changing from the old to the new quyuan plow.
Many!
Earn too much!
After all, it is a business that affects the whole country of Datang, and it is also a new business.
They are the major families responsible for the production of Quyuan plows.
Quyuan plough is to be sold to the whole country, where can it be produced by a single Ministry of Industry? Therefore, most of them are handed over to major families for production, which is the famous outsourcing in later generations.
And this group of many families responsible for the production of Quyuan plough in Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Youzhou, they joined forces to replace the iron plough head of the old Quyuan plow, and changed the point, but the bigger ones have earned a lot.
"Sure enough, the business still has to be relevant to all the people, so that it can make more money!"
"Who said it wasn't, haha, it's too easy to earn this money!"
“…….”
Many family heads couldn't keep their mouths shut.
At this moment, one of the guards of the head of the house came over and whispered into his ear.
In a split second.
The joy of the head of the house turned to fear.
"What's the matter, Master Wang, why did your face become like this?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
Other heads of the family asked.
The head of the Wang family said seriously: "Something happened, the Quyuan plow we sold won't take long to break." ”
"What!"
"This, how is this possible!!"
Many heads of the family were shocked.
Immediately, a head of the family stood up and said, "Has this matter reached Chang'an?" If it doesn't arrive, we can still operate it. ”
"That's right! Can't let Li Shimin know, otherwise we won't be able to eat and walk around! ”
"Hehe, don't be afraid, he, Li Shimin, dare to touch us?"
"Makes sense! But it's better not to spread it to Li Shimin's ears, otherwise we will be in big trouble! ”
“…….”
Many family heads chimed in.
One of their families may be afraid of Li Shimin, but a dozen, dozens of them are united, although they are not as powerful as the five surnames and Qiwang, there is no need to be afraid!
Subsequently, after inquiry, it was determined that Li Shimin did not know, and the news could not reach Li Shimin's ears.
This made the heads of the major families breathe a sigh of relief.
Although they are not afraid of Li Shimin, it is better to have one less trouble.
And Li Shimin didn't know, so they would replace the broken Quyuan plough and sell the good one.
However, after discussion, the owners finally decided to renovate the curved plough to minimize the cost.
They have already made a huge profit, if they give up the broken Quyuan plow and replace it with the old version of the good Quyuan plow, they have to spit out the huge profits, and even if the cost of the previous bad batch is counted, they will still lose money.
How does this work?
Therefore, they all made a firm choice to transform the curved plow again and reduce the cost again, but the iron plow in front is still better than the small iron plow in the old version.
After all, they have suffered losses, and they don't want to eat.
Thereupon.
In the following time, batches of "improved" zigzag ploughs continued to enter the land of Youzhou, Yizhou, and Jingzhou counties.

Plug outside.
After Cheng Yanjin arrived in Youzhou City, led the army to rest for three days, and recuperated, he and Chai Shao went north together to attack Yanguo in the north.
The war strategy, led by Cheng Yanjin to attack the city with 3,000 Vermilion Bird Guards, the Vermilion Bird Battalion is the best at attacking the city, and Chai Shao led 2,000 Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and 5,000 Youzhou Cavalry to protect the Vermilion Bird Camp in the desert until they arrived at the city of Yancheng.
After they entered the border of the Yan Country.
The Turks have finally received the news.
The eighteen divisions of the steppe were assembled again.
"Datang, you actually mobilized troops against the Yan Kingdom and the King of Chu!"
"This, what a surprise!"
"Jieli Khan, we, do you want to step in too?"
“…….”
Many khans are overjoyed.
For them.
Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Yan Kingdom, they are all enemies.
These two can pinch each other, it's really wonderful!
Jieli Khan said with a smile: "The war between the Yan State and the Tang State is imminent, so lively, how can my Turks not participate in the field?" ”
"If you want to participate, you definitely want to!"
