"I don't understand why Su Chen suddenly mentioned this matter." Wei Zheng also echoed.
"Can he not be anxious?"
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Didn't you notice the robe Su Chen is wearing today?"
"Robes?"
Changsun Wuji said: "I really didn't pay attention to it. What happened to the clothes?"
Before Changsun Wuji could speak, His Majesty Li Er said solemnly: "Don't you think it's a little familiar?"
"The material and my dragon robe are both made of the same brocade!"
Hearing His Majesty Li Er's words, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and Li Chunfeng were all dumbfounded!
What's happening here?
His Majesty's dragon robe actually ended up on Su Chen's body?!
"That dress was made by the eldest princess for little friend Su Chen."
Fang Xuanling continued: "So he can't be anxious?"
Several other people have not yet recovered from this shocking news and are still in a state of panic.
His Majesty Li Er snorted angrily and said, "This little bastard is so smart!"
“You also know how to take the initiative!”
"Wait until I come over in three days and have a good chat with him about this matter!"
"Now that he is the Duke of the country, he can no longer perform rituals according to the rules of the common people."
"It must be done according to the standards of the nobility!"
"If he doesn't come up with a betrothal gift that satisfies me this time, he will marry my daughter!"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji and others couldn't laugh or cry.
I am afraid that His Majesty Li Er is the only one in history who married a princess and took care of the betrothal gift!
Your Majesty wants to kill Su Chen with a knife!
After the carriage returned to Chang'an City, Li Chunfeng was the first to leave.
He walked towards his home with great emotion.
All this today was like a dream to him!
I never thought that there are people in this world who can be treated like this by the current saint. It is really an eye-opener!
After sighing with emotion, Li Chunfeng quickened his pace, preparing to start studying the Huntian Zodiac when he returned home.
After Su Chen's reminder, he suddenly understood and believed that he would succeed in a short time!
His reaction was what Su Chen wanted, and he didn't bother with Kuma's face-to-face meeting.
After a while, His Majesty Li Er also arrived at Tai Chi Hall.
He was in a very relaxed mood at this time.
Since Su Chen said the flood issue could be solved, he could shake his head in disdain!
Not only that, you don’t even need to spend any money!
His Majesty Li Er wishes that such good things could happen every day!
Just when he returned to the imperial study room and was about to review the memorial, Li Jing came in a hurry.
Seeing his serious expression, His Majesty Li Er asked: "What happened to make you so hasty?"
"His Majesty."
Li Jing cupped his hands and said: "The Ministry of War has just sent an urgent report from the border!"
"Tuyuhun in the northwest has recruited nearly 200,000 cavalry in an attempt to harass Liangzhou!"
"According to the news from the front line, they are probably planning to attack southward!"
"Tuyuhun?"
His Majesty Li Er was surprised and said: "Where can they get 200,000 cavalry?"
"I speculate that during the battle when Tulei was destroyed, a large number of refugees fled to the Qilian Mountains and were taken in by Fusu."
"It's so good, why did they suddenly come to disturb me in Liangzhou?"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er became even more confused and said: "Tubo has been completely wiped out. How did they get the courage to attack the Tang Dynasty?"
"I can't be sure."
Li Jing said: "It may be due to the sudden increase in population and lack of food."
"It may also be that he was bewitched by the remaining nobles of Tubo."
His Majesty Li Er said in surprise: "I originally wanted to wait a few years before dealing with them, but I didn't expect that I would send them to my door to die. In this case, let's help them!"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple!" Li Jing said with a bitter smile.
"Why did the pharmacist say this?" His Majesty Li Er wondered.
Since acquiring Su Chen's military training method, the Tang Dynasty's cavalry has become completely invincible.
When they captured Goguryeo, they only lost less than a thousand men and killed more than 200,000 enemies. This shows how terrifying the Tang Dynasty's cavalry was!
As for Tuyuhun's 200,000 miscellaneous army, isn't it just a matter of a few seconds to destroy them?
His Majesty Li Er continued: "Although the army brought by Hou Junji to Ye Fan has not returned yet, we, the Tang Dynasty, can still muster nearly 200,000 troops."
"No matter how much Tuyuhun's cavalry can run away, these 200,000 troops will be enough to level them!"
"Even if they want to fight a protracted war, I, the Tang Dynasty, will not be short of food and grass..."
Halfway through speaking, His Majesty Li Er was stunned!
"Your Majesty must have discovered your concerns."
Li Jing said with a headache: "Now this food and grass is really a big problem!"
His Majesty Li Er did not speak again and frowned tightly.
It stands to reason that the current food reserves of the Tang Dynasty should have reached an exaggerated level!
Because the Su rice in Jiannan Road has been harvested for two seasons, and coupled with the large-scale planting in Liangying, there is no shortage of food.
Unfortunately, this is where the problem lies!
The Su rice harvest in Jiannan Road is so good that the granaries can no longer hold enough!
In addition, the new season of Su rice has been sown, so everyone in the court unanimously believed that the Tang Dynasty would no longer be short of food.
Therefore, in order to free up space, more than half of the old rice in the Jiannan Road granary was transported to Tubo and exchanged for highland barley wine according to Su Chen's plan.
We have just started trading, and we must let the Tibetan people taste some sweetness.
In order to gain time, His Majesty Li Er gave a very high exchange ratio.
The purpose is to make Tubo's highland barley reserves as fast as possible and completely control Tudong in the hands of the Tang Dynasty!
Although this will inevitably cause a large loss of rice, Datang has the confidence to do so!
With such a high yield, it doesn’t matter even if you give more!
Now the rice has been exchanged for barrels of highland barley wine and is on its way to Datang.
The other half of the rice was transported to Liaodong!
His Majesty Li Er wants to fill up Liaoze and reclaim the black land.
At this time, including the survivors of the former Sui Dynasty, nearly a million people were working in Liaodong!
Most of the old grain in the Tang Dynasty and the other half of the official warehouse in Jiannan Road have been supplied here!
These two measures have led to the fact that there is not much grain stored in Datang today.
Although the food of the common people is enough, if it is said that it can supply 200,000 troops to fight for several months, it is really not enough!
After a while, His Majesty Li Er spoke again: "Have you ever understood the matter of food? How many troops and horses can be supplied for the expedition?"
Li Jing cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have already communicated with Dai Shangshu before coming here."
"Now the food and grass available in Guanzhong can only supply an army of 50,000!"
"If we wait another month and mobilize food and grass from other state capitals, we should be able to supply an army of 100,000 people!"
