Chapter 2932 Let's see who dares to move our grain fleet
After diagnosing and treating Jin Bitan's problem, the next step is to do serious things. We can't delay national affairs just because of some people's hidden illnesses. That won't work.
His Royal Highness Prince Li Ke wandered back, and the two sides had further communication on the issue of Silla people's migration.
Of course, as the negotiator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Dynasty, Li Ke, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, expressed that the Tang Dynasty would provide certain financial support to Silla.
But it will definitely not be too much. After all, if your Silla government-in-exile is in trouble within the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty will definitely implement three free guarantees, including food, housing and funerals.
But if you are in your own country and leave the country of the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty, as the suzerain country, can at most just give you some money.
After listening to Li Ke's detailed and patient explanation, Jin Bitan was helpless. It seemed that it was not that easy to get free wool from Datang's body.
But no matter what, although the state affairs have not made much progress, being able to get better and continue to play every night is a great event for the Silla Kingdom for generations to come.

"His Majesty asked us to take action immediately to transport food, grass and baggage to the Yingzhou area. I decided to leave half of the navy behind.
Cruise in the coastal waters of Goguryeo and Baekje to prevent the navies of these two countries from attacking, while the other half is responsible for transporting baggage and food to Yeongju."
Li Ji, the general manager of the Pyongyang Road march and the captain of the logistics and transportation brigade of His Majesty's personal expedition to Goguryeo, stood in front of the sand table and gave instructions.
Upon hearing the news, Cheng Chubi's eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up without hesitation and said loudly.
"Commander, I am willing to lead the navy to defend Goguryeo and Baekje Navy."
Seeing Cheng Sanlang jumping out first, Wu Zhonglang, who was a step behind, expressed loudly and without hesitation that he was willing to lead the army to take on the important task of defending Goguryeo and Baekje Navy.
At this time, Cheng Sanlang was not happy anymore. He turned his head and twitched the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face towards Wu Zhonglang.
Then he tilted his head towards the group of Wu Xun disciples next to him and said threateningly.
"General Wu Zhong, everything has to be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right? What, you want to take credit from our brothers?"
The martial arts disciples who were enjoying their achievements were naturally very cooperative and looked at General Wu Zhonglang with murderous eyes.
Even though he, Mr. Wu, was also a strong general in the army, but facing so many juniors who were famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, he was still a little weak in the legs.
At this time, Li Ji, the elder, also twitched his lips at Cheng Sanlang with a smile.
"Cheng Sanlang, I will only consider the important task of defending Goguryeo and Baekje. You only need to be responsible for escorting the grain and grass to Yingzhou."
"Why..." Upon hearing this, Qin Huaidao couldn't help but huddled behind Niu Jinda's butt and let out an unwilling cry.
Niu Jinda raised his legs with a black look on his face and looked at the kick behind him. However, Qin Huaidao's kid was so tight that he had already slipped.
Cheng Chubi was also quite unhappy and looked ready to have a good argument with the elder Li Ji.
Seeing the other party's expression, he reached into his arms with joy and took out the imperial edict.
"His Majesty has ordered that you, the deputy commander-in-chief of the march in Pyongyang Road, be responsible for escorting the grain and grass to Yingzhou. You must set off within five days. There must be no mistakes, otherwise military law will be engaged."
"..." Cheng Chubi took the imperial edict, looked at the familiar handwriting inside, and could only let out a long sigh with an expression on his face.
"I know, oh... ok, you can't march and fight, but doing transportation can be considered a merit..."
The moment I heard about the need to defend Goguryeo and the Baekje Navy, many inspirations flashed through my mind.
As the saying goes, the best defense is offense, including but not limited to the idea of going deep into the hinterlands of Goguryeo and Baekje along the waterways to do something.
It's a pity that my father-in-law, who has no martial ethics, is thousands of miles away. He is not here to have such an encounter with me. At least I can still impress my father-in-law with my words, and maybe I can have a chance to make contributions.
A group of martial arts disciples left the meeting site together with Cheng Sanlang. Presumably Li Jizheng, General Wu Zhonglang and others who stayed there were celebrating with each other.
When he thought about this, Cheng Chubi felt that it was boring. Even if he could transport grain by himself, what would be the point?
At this time, the group of old brothers following behind were also in a very bad mood, and Xue Rengui, who was now in charge of the battalion of musketeers, was also very unhappy.
After all, I trained the camp musketeers painstakingly and finally polished the camp musketeers to be quite sharp.
They were just missing an opportunity to show their power to the world, but as a result, they had no choice but to pick up the musket in their hands and use it as a carrying pole to transport food. Who could bear this?
The group of people wandered to Cheng Sanlang's residence, just like a piece of salted fish, not even having the motivation to turn over and bask in the sun.
Li Ke, the old god of His Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty, was squatting on the ground, neither sad nor happy. Anyway, it was none of his business to engage in defense or transportation.
He just needs to stay in Dengzhou as quiet as a chicken and as quiet as a virgin. Especially the symptoms that Brother Chu Bi mentioned before, he also has some of them.
It just so happened that while Brother Chu Bi and the others were away, I tried to take good care of myself. I must not be like Jin Bitan, who was only in his early forties and already had severe kidney deficiency.
I am a man who wants to learn from the imperial grandfather Li Yuan, and strive to be the kind of man who can still watch the birth of his son into the world when he is seventy or eighty years old.

In the end, Cheng Sanlang was the first to cheer up, clapped his hands and shouted loudly.
"Okay, brothers, please be alert and don't act like you've contracted the plague. In fact, even if you are transporting food, grass and baggage, you still have the opportunity to make contributions."
"That's right. If there is any oversight on the British side, it is possible for an enemy ship to find a good opportunity to jump over."
"Yes, this makes sense, maybe there is such a possibility..."
Well, it was Li Siwen who said this. I wonder if his father, Li Ji, would pick up a big stick and play a filial piety stick when he heard this.
"Tell those brothers to cheer up and check the weapons, equipment and ammunition inventory of each warship."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what might happen. If someone really dares to touch a hair of our grain transport fleet.
We have to beat each other's brains out, otherwise, how can we live up to my reputation as the Navy of the Tang Dynasty?"
Seeing the brothers who looked like salted fish drying in the sun, they all froze and made lofty words.
Cheng Chubi was also very relieved. He slapped his thigh and decided to do a good job today and treat everyone's five internal organs.
After all, in the next period of time, I will have to stay on the boat every day, and there will be no chance to enjoy the food and drink as much as I do now.
