On the day before Yuan Day, the government offices began to seal seals, the emperor began to seal pens, and the entertainment and leisure activities for the whole people officially began. In the past, only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month would be held in Chang'an City. This year, it has started from Yuan Day. It is a whole month. Merchants Almost crazy with joy, the Wanmin Hall will be officially opened on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Li Er invited a hundred elders from Chang'an to come to the Wanmin Hall to watch the singing and dancing. Of course, you must be seventy years old to become one. .
After celebrating the New Year's Eve, Di Renjie distributed red envelopes to all the girls in the family. Di Renjie wore a newly made winter coat and furs that his mother had specially sent for him from Sichuan, and he was carelessly walking in the yard. Playing with the bones to tease the dog, Shi Shi also sat quietly with his monk father until dawn. The other monks all returned to their respective temples. Only Jue Yuan accompanied Dao Xin, preparing to pay homage to the emperor after the new year and make the final sacrifice. Try hard, if your efforts fail, the temple tax will be inevitable. Xiao Wu is in a bad mood. People in the Wu family seem to have forgotten her existence. Even her mother did not send a letter, let alone bring anything.
When Yun Ye gave the little girl lucky money, he said: "If the mountain doesn't come, I'll be there. If I go, I'll be the mountain. Why should you let others control your emotions?"
Xiao Wu thought for a while, then returned to the house and packed some of the pocket wallets he had accumulated into a small baggage, preparing to ask the shopkeeper from the Yun family to Chuanzhong to take it with him when he leaves after the new year.
Yun Ye didn't go there. He stayed at home and rehearsed with Niu Jinda the Tang Dynasty's attack on Goguryeo. When Niu Jinda returned without success again, he sighed and threw the small flag on the table without saying a word. .
At first, there were only two of them doing the deduction. Later, when Li Chengqian came, it became three people. After Cheng Yaojin took advantage of the Chinese New Year to visit Mr. Yuan Zhang, there were four people in the room.
After Li Ji visited Li Gang, he also came to Yun's house. As a result, he didn't go home for two days. He also sent someone to quickly invite Li Jing. When there was no room for people in the house, Li Er was no match for him. Out of curiosity, he also came here on a fast horse.
In front of Yun Ye, there was a huge Liaodong sand table with densely packed fortresses. There was even a Great Wall built from Fuyu to the sea.
When Li Er's eyes passed by the familiar Liaodong City, Baiyan City, Buyeo City, Xincheng, Gaimu City, Anshi City, Wugu City, and Beisha City, he couldn't help but get furious and pointed at Yun Ye said: "Who gave you permission to change the map like this? Where did the Great Wall come from? When did Anshi City reach eight feet high? Where did the moat come from Buyeo City? Where did the mountains and forests to the north of Gaimu City go? This new city What's going on? Does Wugucheng belong to Goguryeo? Why did the Baekje people help Goguryeo defend the city during the battle? They also cut off our army's retreat, a joke!"
"Reporting to your majesty, my humble minister is now Gao Jianwu, the king of Goguryeo. The Tang Dynasty is not friendly to me, Goguryeo, so I have made a small defense. In general, the city is high, the pond is deep, the walls are strong and the fields are clear. No matter you No matter how provocative it is, I just need to defend the city.
If the Great Wall is lost, I will retreat to Yalu River and Ganshan Mountain. You can just eat it bit by bit. As long as you have a city that you have not conquered, just wait until I cut off the food route. Silla people have Baekje. To contain them, I also need to contact the Xue Yantuo people. There is no reason why they don’t understand the meaning of death. The remnants of the Bohai Kingdom are not too friendly to the Tang Dynasty, and the savages in the woods are all used by me. Even if I can't fight you head-on, I can still contain and harass you. Your Majesty, do you think Wei Chen, the King of Goryeo, is up to standard?"
Li Er, who was shocked and angry, slapped Yun Ye hard on the back of the head and said angrily: "You have such information, why don't you report it to me? Do you know that this is a major military matter, not a trivial matter for you to play with."
"Your Majesty, this was originally a question asked by the minister to relieve my Uncle Niu's boredom, so that he would not be too bored. Why should I report it to you?" Yun Ye asked Li Er with aggrievedness.
Li Er's face improved a little, as long as it was not true, he thought it was the news that the Yun family's caravan had found in Goguryeo. Just now he was wondering why Baiqisi didn't report it, so he lost his composure.
Li Jing sighed and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this speculation may become a reality. In September, the border city military newspaper reported that Buyeo City had stocked up a large amount of construction materials, and the Goguryeo people had stocked up countless supplies in the name of gathering winter firewood.
Timber, I also heard that all the prisoners in Goguryeo were conscripted and sent to Liaodong. After several confirmations, I am afraid that Goguryeo is really preparing to build a city, and it is very likely that it is the Great Wall as Yun Ye guessed. "
Li Er's pupils shrank, and he asked Yun Ye seriously: "Is this terrain map really just a random idea of yours?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, not only me, but also Qingque, Gongshu Mu, Hypatia, and Hong Cheng also participated. This was originally a war game played by Wei Chen, and it was a way for the academy to conduct extracurricular games in the future.
"
Li Er immediately ordered Duan Hong: "Find me these people that Yun Ye mentioned quickly. I have something to ask."
Duan Hong immediately took the order and left. Not long after, he summoned Hong Cheng who was drinking at Yun's house. As soon as the drunk Hong Cheng saw Li Er, all his alcoholism turned into cold sweat and oozed out from his back.
Li Er asked with a sullen face: "Hong Cheng, please tell me which part of this sand table was made by you?"
Hearing the emperor ask this matter, Hong Cheng immediately felt relieved, pointed to Gaimou City and Xincheng and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, these two cities were made by Weichen."
"Why did you cut down the forest outside Gaimou City? And why do you want to build a new city here?"
"Wei Chen has also led an army and defended the city. Naturally, he knows that there should be no woods near the city. If the enemy attacks, the forest can not only hide the army but also cut it down to make siege equipment. Why should Wei Chen leave this place behind?
A forest?
The advantage of this new city is that it has a dangerous location between two mountains and a ditch. As long as a city is built, the main road will be cut off immediately. Many cities in the Tang Dynasty are like this, such as Hangu Pass and so on.
I need to defend this place, so of course I need to build a city."
"Didn't anyone remind you to do this?"
Hong Cheng said strangely: "Yun Ye and King Wei don't understand military affairs. Gongshu Mu only needs to design the appearance of the city. Hypatia is only responsible for the scale. The rest of the military formation is naturally the matter of the ministers. It was not like this at first."
Damn it, after we played it many times, it became what it is now, and all the loopholes we could think of were filled."
Li Er closed his eyes, walked to the sand table again and asked Li Jing: "If there are 100,000 elite troops, can Liaodong be captured?"
"Your Majesty himself is a master of the military formation. How could he not know that a hundred thousand troops are enough to plunder the land, but attacking the city is not enough. If you want to annex Liaodong, an army of five hundred thousand is not enough to achieve your goal."
After Li Jing finished expressing his opinions, he stopped talking. Every sentence and every word he spoke seemed to have been carefully considered before he spoke one word at a time.
"We simply can't provide food and fodder for an army of 500,000. An army of 100,000 is already the limit." Changsun Wuji, wearing Yanju clothes, approached Li Er and said sincerely.
‘Oh? Then I have to ask the King of Korea. Can you tell me how an army of 100,000 can defeat these fortified cities?”
Li Er turned his head to Yun Ye again, looking half-smiling but not smiling, which made Yun Ye panic. As long as this guy shows this kind of expression, he will suffer. If he can't think of a way, he will definitely be unlucky.
However, Yun Ye started to prepare for the Goguryeo matter three years ago. Lao Cui is now regarded as a noble of Goguryeo. Because his surname is Cui, he has always regarded himself as a Goguryeo in that country. This has brought a lot to the Yun family's business.
convenience.
"Your Majesty, I think a hundred thousand troops are enough. As long as your army is brave enough, nothing else is a problem." Yun Ye just finished speaking. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Niu Jinda almost shouted together: "Yun Ye said carefully."
Li Er smiled proudly, waved his hand to the three frantic veterans and said: "It doesn't matter, let him say it, we are just discussing a game today, don't take it too seriously, you can say anything you want, I won't blame you
, Yun Ye, General Li said that at least 500,000 troops are needed, why do you think 100,000 is enough? That makes sense. I will apologize to you for just slapping you, how about that? "
"The slap you just gave me hurts so much!" Yun Ye rubbed the back of his head and continued to bargain. It's not okay to get beaten in vain.
"Don't you always like the bronze mirror in my study? It's not made of bronze. It's said to be finely ground from overseas. It's the only one in this world. How about I take it as an apology?"
Yun Ye nodded with satisfaction. Li Er had a rare low-profile today. He just accepted it when he saw fit. He smiled at Niu Jinda and the others and said, "Your Majesty, you are actually worried about being in a fortified city."
Literally speaking, if these cities in Goguryeo were built by the Yun family, it is not you who has the final say on what kind of cities His Majesty wants?"
"Goguryeo has purchased a lot of cement from Liaodong. Do you have a way to deal with it?" Li Er said to Yun Ye depressedly.
"How do they have cement? All these things are under the control of the Ministry of Industry. It is extremely difficult for the people of the Tang Dynasty to get any cement. How can they have it?" Yun Ye jumped up at once.
"Shut up, this is the reward given by the Supreme Emperor to Gao Jianwu to build the palace. Is this something you can criticize?" Li Er was full of complaints, but Yun Ye was not allowed to complain. Thinking about it, it was not possible without being depressed. Li Yuan accepted Gao Li
Hearing that the King of Korea only wanted some materials for building the palace, he immediately agreed with a stroke of his pen and ordered Li Er to send someone to deliver the cement. Li Er, who was so angry that his teeth itched in front of the envoys of various countries,
I had no choice but to agree.
"Father, the cement used by Gao Jianwu was paid for by my children. You don't have to worry about how strong they will be." Li Tai hurriedly walked in from the outside and happened to hear Yun Ye talking to his father about the cement, so he mixed it in.
