Li Mingda replied: "Then stop all actions of our army and only let Silla and Baekje take action. We will wait until next spring to carry out large-scale cross-sea operations. This is the plan. You can put together the remaining details.

Come on, remember to bring Wang Meng here, he is a good master of combat planning."

Leaving the remaining matters to a few of their ministers to compile, Li Mingda returned to his oven. Looking at the red charcoal fire, he couldn't help but sigh: I hope I can safely rescue those who are suffering this time.

.

Li Mingda thought for a while and then called Cheng Yaojin and told Cheng Yaojin: "If someone from the Cui family comes, tell him to stabilize Jin Sanshun first, and then allow him to give him some benefits. Remember, don't give him too big an official position."

, the highest level is only 4th grade. If the other party is not satisfied, tell him that the country is bigger than the country and the official positions of the vast Tang Dynasty cannot be compared. "

"promise"

Li Mingda issued the order, and then the think tank of Datang, a huge empire, began to revise the details of the plan, allocate supplies and personnel, and take preventive measures. After all, this series of actions would directly involve up to 100,000 soldiers.

More, more indirect.

With an army of one hundred thousand, the Tang Dynasty only had such a large-scale battle when it was fighting with Tibet. It only took 30,000 to 40,000 people to kill the Japanese island country. It can be seen that the Tang Dynasty is going to take serious action this time.

Li Ji took his people to Liaodong to make detailed arrangements first, while Li Jing stayed in Chang'an City to provide logistical assistance, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng handled civil matters, and Murong Xue wrote a letter asking his cronies to take them to Tuyuhun to mobilize troops.

The Turkic tribal envoy later felt a little unhappy when he heard that Li Mingda had asked for 20,000 Xianbei cavalry and 10,000 of his own men.

Why should we only have 10,000 when someone else has 20,000?

Our fighting ability isn't bad either, right?

Can we discuss it and bring more?

Li Mingda, this kind of activist, naturally said that if you don't go back, there will be plenty of opportunities. When the Bangzi Kingdom is wiped out next year, they can be attacked. After all, when the former Sui Dynasty was destroyed, they were also dancing behind the scenes.

After the combat order was issued, Cui Shijie, the head of the Cui family, came to Chang'an City and told Cheng Yaojin his information.

Cheng Yaojin's words were: "Your Majesty has already known about it and is dispatching troops to prepare to attack Anshi City."

This was what shocked Cui Shijie. Only he and Cui Si knew this kind of information. Why did Li Mingda know it so early?

Cui Si betrayed?

Obviously it's impossible. Cui Si himself is a member of the Cui family. Cui Shijie knows his character and thoughts very well. As soon as Cui Si came ashore, he ran towards him at full speed. His appearance of being dusty was not fake.

Cui Shijie asked Cheng Yaojin cautiously: "What should we do about this Jin Sanshun?"

Kim Sam Soon?

Cheng Yaojin recalled Li Mingda's words and told Cui Shijie about it. Finally, he told him: "Jin Sanshun must be stabilized. Let him find a way to protect the remaining 200 people. If Datang's army

If the attack is blocked, he is the final guarantee."

"The Tang Dynasty will attack Bangzi Kingdom in winter. You can tell him the news and fool him by saying that he will also have credit for the Tang Dynasty's capture of Anshi City, provided that those people cannot die."

Cui Shijie nodded: "It is a matter of life and death for my Cui family, so we must do our best, but is Niu Yuan the brother of Duke Langya?"

Cheng Yaojin spread his hands: "To be honest, I don't know. Lao Niu is still on the road and has not returned to Chang'an City. He has been busy with the allocation and supplies these days. If you cooperate more with this operation, Your Majesty thinks it will be a reward or punishment."

Obviously, as long as you do this, your family’s smuggling will no longer be held accountable, but if there is a next time..."

Cui Shijie patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, there will be no next time for the Cui family."

Cheng Yaojin looked unbelievable: "If I say this to His Majesty, I will definitely give you a blank look. When you are the head of the family, you may still be able to survive. It is hard to say for future generations. Remember this lesson. If His Majesty does not intend to go north,

Conquer and kill everyone in the family."

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Cui Shijie knew that this incident made Cheng Yaojin very unhappy. If Li Mingda hadn't really used their Cui family, not only the Cui family would have been doomed, but Cheng Yaojin's career might also have been ruined.

been implicated.

After all, everyone has their own thoughts. Li Mingda is the new emperor's confidant general to Li Shimin like Cheng Yaojin. According to historical practice, the new emperor who ascends by force will generally not use the former emperor's confidant general. In fact, it is good not to use it.

, most of them will use various methods to get rid of them to stabilize their position.

Fortunately, Li Mingda was different from other emperors. Not only did he not get rid of them all, but he continued to reuse them. What was even more amazing was that he was able to follow his father, the former emperor, without any gap after he rose to power.

The Tang Dynasty continues to develop at a rapid pace under the new emperor Li Mingda, becoming more and more powerful. Cheng Yaojin feels that thanks to Li Mingda being the reincarnation of a god, his transcendent status has the perfect structure now. Who dares to go on the streets in the Tang Dynasty now?

If you call Li Mingda a monster, he will be beaten to death in less than 2 minutes.

"It's our Cui family's fault this time, which has caused Duke Lu to suffer. The Cui family will surely be rewarded for their slowness."

Cui Shijie softened his words, and Cheng Yaojin did not continue to say any unpleasant words. After all, they were supporting each other now.

"My father-in-law, you're welcome. I will inform Your Majesty of the materials that Jin Sanshun wants when he enters the palace tomorrow. Then he only needs to follow the original procedures to receive them. As for the new ships, I will try my best. In fact, I suggest that the Cui family should buy them themselves.

Some of the older ones are better”

Cui Shijie said helplessly: "It's not that I haven't considered buying it. Sea-going ships are different from inland river ships. In addition, the current naval management is strict and private construction is not allowed. The rest are closely followed by each other."

It’s like a treasure. If I want to buy it, they may not sell it. It’s all the cost of eating, so how can we, the Cui family, buy it now?”

All right

Cheng Yaojin expressed that he was very embarrassed. He had never expected this kind of thing. After Li Mingda came to power, inspections by all parties became more and more strict, especially paying special attention to the navy, which was not highly valued by the Tang Dynasty. In the past, he could still find an excuse.

The navy who scrapped a batch of ships and sold them for money now has to be interrogated by the Jinyiwei for less than one piece of ship, let alone follow the previous ones.

"Okay, I understand. Let's ask His Majesty tomorrow and the staff will match it for you. This will save the news from leaking."

Cui Shijie had no objection to this. Even the information about the negotiations between Cui Si and Jin Sanshun was available to Li Mingda, let alone others.

Confidential

Is that a secret from outsiders?

As for the Emperor Li Mingda of the Tang Dynasty, bring him down. There is no secret at all. Cui Shijie is also very open-minded. Since Li Mingda knows his every move, his family is disguised as saying that there is no threat.

The family has been saved.

The next day, Cheng Yaojin went to the palace to explain Cui Shijie's request. Li Mingda recalled Jin Sanshun's information and told Cheng Yaojin: "...
Chapter completed!
