Chapter 768
Of course, as an important minister of Li Tang, Changsun Wuji could not overthrow Erfeng publicly, and after Erfeng made his decision, the marriage with Daxia became a fact, and no one could change it.

But not making trouble on the surface does not mean that Changsun Wuji is indifferent.

Such things as secretly inciting Li Tang's fierce generals to compete with the generals who greeted his relatives, defeating the generals of Daxia, and embarrassing Daxia will not interfere with the overall situation, but will also strengthen Li Tang's morale of the people and the army. default.

Because in his eyes, these are small tricks, harmless.It just happened to make the uncle sigh.

From Daxia's point of view, once this kind of thing happens, Daxia's prestige outside will be weakened, and no one wants to see this kind of thing happen.

"What you said makes sense, then according to what you said, let Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Zaixing go north to welcome their relatives together!"

Wang Jing pondered slightly, and agreed to Pei Ju's suggestion.

He also didn't want Daxia's face to be damaged.

No one would dare to underestimate the two powerful generals from the Heaven Realm acting as envoys to welcome their relatives.

"I appoint you as the envoy to welcome the relatives, and I will send three thousand white-eared elite soldiers to serve as guards. When you are ready, let's set off with Li Tang's envoys!"

Wang Jing flipped through the memorial, and found that the preparations for the mission had been well done. In addition to various etiquette levels, there was also a dowry gift prepared by Daxia.

The betrothal gift is the magic pill refined from the core of the ninth-level monster, the seven-color brocade woven by the seventh-level silkworm, and the divine sword made of the dragon's spine...

All kinds of gifts add up to ten cloud cars, which are priceless.

Now that Li Tang has shown his sincerity, then Daxia will naturally give back, is it reciprocal?

According to Erfeng's character, Daxia has given out so many treasures, the value of the dowry he gave must be higher than that of Daxia.In short, Wang Jing will definitely not suffer.

the following few days.

Wang Jing ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare ceremonial envoys, gifts, drums, and treasures from the palace treasury, and three thousand white-eared elite soldiers to act as guards... Tang Jian and Li Shentong saw all these actions, and they secretly thought in their hearts. nod.

Especially Li Shentong, he was noncommittal about Daxia's marriage in his heart, because it was Erfeng's decision, so he didn't object.Now seeing the sincerity of Daxia, he also saw the prosperity of Daxia in Jinling, and began to agree with the marriage.

this day.

At Jinling Wharf, imperial guards surrounded Yu Huan, and Wang Jing led his officials to see Li Tang's envoys off in person. Not only Li Tang's envoys, but Cao Wei's envoy Zhong Yao were also preparing to leave together.

On the surface of the water, dozens of large ships floated slightly, and three thousand white-eared elite soldiers had already boarded the ships.

Pei Ju took Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Zaixing to bid farewell to Wang Jing.

"This trip is tens of thousands of miles away, so be careful in everything. If something unexpected happens, the priority is to protect yourself!"

Wang Jing exhorted.

Unlike the gradual calm in the south, there are many dynasties in the north, and most of the powerhouses in the heavenly realm are in the north. A certain force does not want to see Li Tang and Daxia marry, and will definitely send strong people to make trouble halfway.

Under normal circumstances, Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Zaixing, two heavenly powerhouses, can solve these problems.

But Wang Jing was worried that there would be an eventuality. In case Xiang Yu knew that Yu Ji had been brought into the harem by him, he also wanted to give him a look and ran to intercept the welcoming mission.

Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Zaixing may not be Xiang Yu's opponents.

Compared with a woman who has never met before, Wang Jing values ​​his two heavenly generals more!

Absolutely don't want to see accidents happen to them.

Wang Jing must remind one or two of these small-probability occurrences, lest they really fight each other with their lives.

"Your Majesty, I understand..."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not disappoint Your Majesty's entrustment!"

Pei Ju's eyes flashed, and he replied respectfully.

Yu Wencheng and Yang Zaixing didn't hear the meaning behind the words, they only thought that Wang Jing was worried about them, and their hearts were slightly warm, and they followed Pei Ju's determination.

The three saluted deeply to Wang Jing, and then began to board the ship.

Tang Jian, Li Shentong and Zhong Yao had bid farewell to Wang Jing and were all on board.

Hush, huh, dozens of big ships set sail.

Prepare to enter Xuzhou along the canal, then pass through the territory of Cao Wei, stay in Bianliang for a few days, and then go north through Ranwei, and enter Litang territory from Fukou, one of the eight paths of Taihang.

To the east of Li Tang was the Taihang Mountain, covered with dense forests, dangerous and unpredictable, and the army could not pass through at all, but the fact that the army had not sent it did not mean that the road was completely blocked.

Daxia's wedding party has two strong men from the sky, even if they encounter a ninth-level monster, they can easily kill it. With three thousand white-eared elite guards, it is not a problem to pass through Taihang Mountain.

And Cao Wei, who was borrowed, would be happy to see the marriage between Li Tang and Da Xia, not only not destroying it, but also escorting it all the way.

The more dangerous place is after leaving Cao Wei.

Through Cao Wei's face, the Great Xia Mission will not be rejected by Ran Wei, but they will not protect the safety of the welcoming group...

Watch as the fleet fades away.

Wang Jing withdrew his eyes, and said lightly: "Go back, we will be busy in the next time!"

Gao Yan, Xie An and others should be.

It will take at least a few months or even longer for the welcoming group to return from Taiyuan, and during this period, it is impossible for Daxia to wait. The military award of...

There are many things to do, even Wang Jing has to allocate more time to deal with important military and political affairs.

Sometimes, it is necessary to go to the army and nearby provinces to inspect.

As a king, it is not enough to only govern the country through memorials in the palace, but also to go out of the palace from time to time to inspect places, observe changes in governance, and make timely adjustments if found to be wrong.

……

In the big boat on the water of the canal, while on their way, Pei Ju invited Tang Jian and Zhong Yao to take the same boat, drinking and talking.

Along the way, there are vast fields on both sides of the canal. Many people are driving ox carts or working in the fields, watering through the ravines on the edge of the fields.

A large piece of land is connected into one piece, and next to the land, there are trees planted every ten feet. The trees with luxuriant branches and leaves support a cool shade under the sunshine.

Some people are tired, so they enjoy the shade under the big tree...

The canal is more than ten miles away from these fields. When the fleet comes to a place where the river is relatively high, standing on the deck, they can see the distant scenery through the embankment.

Tang Jian had already seen such a scene when he came here.

But when I saw it again when I went back, I still felt a little shocked in my heart.

Li Tang's territory was placed in the history of the original world, which belonged to Bingzhou, and the terrain of Bingzhou was surrounded by mountains and rivers on the east and west sides, and only a few basins in the north and south were fertile.

A line of Fenshui runs from north to south, and the land on both sides of Fenshui is Li Tang's lifeline, and the country's food depends on it.

With the military and civilian population under Li Tang's rule, even if the fertile land in Bingzhou in the Shenzhou world increased tenfold, it would not be easy to fill their stomachs.

After annexing the forces from all over the country to unify the state, Li Tang has many civil and military generals, but his external offensive is insufficient. The lack of food and grass is an important reason.

In Daxia, Jianghuai, Jiangdong, and the newly acquired Jingchu all have large fertile plains. As long as there are no successive natural disasters, there will be no shortage of food and grass.

Tang Jian saw this, and felt the profound background of Daxia more and more.

When the fleet entered Xuzhou.Stopped for half a day.

Before Zhong Yao returned, Cao Wei and Daxia were still in a confrontation stage. There were not a few soldiers and horses stationed in Xuzhou, blocking the roads between each other. There was also an endless stream of Cao Wei merchants in Xuzhou.

A large number of fleets are unloading at Xuzhou Wharf, and merchants in the north use various means to bring the goods here back to the north, earning a lot of price difference.

Zhong Yao didn't get off the boat, but looked at the busy pier for a while on the deck.

On the pier, there were quite a few businessmen from Cao Wei.

And behind these businessmen are the aristocratic families within Cao Wei.Among them is the Zhong family in Yingchuan... Every month, the Zhong family can get a lot of property from the trade routes in Xuzhou.

If Cao Wei and Daxia give up their confrontation and open the checkpoints so that caravans can pass back and forth, then their profits will be greatly reduced.

If the lord of Cao Wei was Cao Pi or Cao Rui, the aristocratic families within Cao Wei would never give up this opportunity to benefit, and it was impossible for Zhong Yao to act as an envoy to Jinling.

But it is a pity that the lord of Cao Wei is Cao Cao who is now emperor.

With Cao Cao's means, the aristocratic families within Cao Wei did not dare to confront directly, so they could only give up this opportunity and hand over the benefits to Cao Wei officials.

"With Xia Jun's background, the longer the time, the stronger he will be!"

"After the rectification of the south is completed, it is necessary to go north to the Central Plains... I don't know in the future, whether our court and the Xia army are enemies or friends."

Zhong Yao secretly sighed in his heart.

Daxia's strength also shocked him,
He had heard a lot about Xia Jun's great victories when he was in Bianliang.

Now he has walked around the capital of Great Xia, which has given him a deeper understanding of Great Xia.

Great Xia seems to have a tyrannical army, invincible and invincible, but Zhong Yao feels that the strongest part of Great Xia is not the army, but the hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians, as well as sufficient food and grass, and strong national strength.

Precisely because of the strong national strength, every time Daxia sent troops, it frequently mobilized millions of elites.

If not, how could the dynasties and feudal lords such as Zhu Ming and Southern Song who were not weak be defeated so quickly?
Millions of elites pushed and crushed all the way, and I don't know how many generals of the Ming army were hated.

Even though he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the support of Mingjun behind him, he is standing in front of the army of one million in Great Xia. In the end, there are flaws due to the lack of soldiers and generals, and he collapses...

Although Cao Wei occupies half of the Central Plains and Qingqi, and his power has greatly increased, he cannot achieve the confidence of dispatching more than one million troops each time like Daxia.

The gap in national strength is difficult to make up for before the appearance of the powerful in the heavenly realm.

But... even after the change of heaven, the number of powerful people in the heaven realm on Cao Wei's side cannot be compared with other top dynasties.Even, even the Shu Han is not as good.

Amid the emotions of Tang Jian and Zhong Yao, the fleet set sail again, leaving Xuzhou and entering the territory of Cao Wei.

As soon as he entered, Cao Wei's navy came to check.

There is the Yellow River and canals in Cao Wei's territory, and naturally a navy was established, but Cao Wei's navy is mainly used for defense, and it cannot be compared with the Great Xia Navy.

Before Cao Wei's navy came forward, Zhong Yao asked people to raise a flag and sent someone to inform the identity of the fleet.

General Cao Wei quickly dispatched ships to lead the way.

After entering the territory of Cao Wei, it was the turn of Pei Ju, Yang Zaixing, and Yu Wencheng to stand on the deck and observe the situation in Cao Wei.

The closer it is to Xuzhou, the more barren the banks of the river become.

After the fleet had traveled hundreds of miles, life began to appear on both sides of the strait. A large number of civilians were organized into military households to garrison fields with the method of the army. Although the people in the fields were equally busy, they did not have the vitality of the people of Daxia...

Pei Ju used to be the prime minister of Li and Tang in history, and he was also a child of a family. He is proficient in history books and literature, military books and war strategies, and is very familiar with the history of Cao Wei.

The situation at hand is obvious.

This is the fundamental strategy of Cao Wei in history to attack the Quartet with the land of the Central Plains and dominate most of the world, the strategy of garrisoning the fields!

When there are refugees in Daxia, they will be registered as Qimin. After serving the government for a period of time, they will be given land and become normal people.Then pay taxes.

In the territory of Cao Wei, as long as they are refugees and bandits, they will be compulsorily registered as military households, and large-scale farming will be carried out...

The method of farming can accumulate food and grass in the fastest time and use it to conquer the four directions, but this method cannot last long. After a long time, the labor and harvest will be out of proportion, and after being exploited layer by layer, the military households will be unbearable. serious consequences.

This point, later Daming had a personal experience.

on the deck.

Pei Ju shook his head slightly, and secretly said with emotion: "The foundation of Cao Wei is the local powerful and aristocratic families. The people at the bottom have no room to speak. Even if Cao Wei can be strong for a while, he will definitely not be an opponent when he meets our dynasty in the future!"

The smarter a person is, the more he can see the subtleties.

Pei Ju saw the conditions of the fields and people in Cao Wei's territory, and had some premonitions in his heart.

However, Da Xia and Cao Wei are facing each other, and they don't know how long it will take. Now the relationship between the two parties is improving.

When he arrived in Bianliang, he had to meet Cao Cao and greet him instead of Wang Jing.

The official envoy of Daxia will also rush to Bianliang soon to discuss with Cao Wei about reducing checkpoints and exchanging information.

"Bianjing is here!"

A few days later.

The fleet crossed one city after another, and finally arrived at the ferry north of Bianliang.

Pei Ju and others walked out of the cabin and looked in the direction of Bianliang.

Ok?
When Pei Ju's gaze scanned the crossing, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, because he saw that there were many soldiers at the crossing, and there was a military camp more than ten miles away from the crossing.

The bustling and bustling ferry seemed to have some military aura out of thin air.

When they disembarked and approached Bianliang with two hundred guards and changed horses, the faces of the people and businessmen on the road were a little nervous and flustered.

Pei Ju beckoned one of his subordinates to investigate.

Soon I got the news that Cao Wei was mobilizing the army, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses had been stationed around Bianliang...

These soldiers and horses seem to be mobilized westward to resist the Han army.
