Li Yuan in Jiaozhou continued to march, and Liu Qi, who was in the middle of the gap, was finally lost and was broken by Li Yuan.Li Yuan occupied the land in the south of Jing, and did not dare to fight against the Qi State in the north, so he could only attack all the way to the east, annexing the original Wu and Yue countries.

In today's world, apart from Qi, the most powerful person is Li Tang who ruled Jiangnan.

Except for the Qi and Tang families, only Qin and Han in the northwest are still lingering.

Since Xichuan fell into the hands of Cao Anmin, Liu Bei's life has been getting worse day by day.

In order to ensure the security of the country, Liu Bei ignored the advice of the ministers and forcibly recruited troops. Qin, with a population of one million, had an army of nearly 30. Such behavior caused the national power of Qin and Han to decline.

In particular, the two major granaries of Hanzhong and Guanzhong were all placed under the knife edge of Qi State, and the Qi army ransacked from time to time, making the land of Guanzhong desolate for thousands of miles.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still water-rich areas in the Yongliang area that could produce grain, Qin and Han would have been completely cut off from Qi's iron cavalry long ago.

It's called the Three Strong Separatists, but it's actually a competition between Qi and Tang.

"Your Majesty, there are constant floods in Yanzhou. I ask you to send someone in charge to repair the river." Zhang Shuo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said.

Cao Anmin nodded: "It is imminent to repair the river course, Xu Shangshu, you need to send a special person to this matter!"

Xu Guangqi went out to lead the order.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has an urgent matter." Li Jing said, walked out of the queue and came to the front and saluted Cao Anmin.

"Your Majesty, since last winter, Liu Bobo from the Huns and Lu Guang from the Di tribe have gathered in the north of the Tianshan Mountains to support their own troops. It seems that they have the intention of invading our country. I ask your majesty to send troops, horses, food and grass, and let you pursue them thousands of miles away, so as to avoid future troubles. .”

Cao Anmin supported his head with his hands, looking a little lazy.

After sitting on the throne for five years, Cao Anmin is no longer the brat he used to be, but the unparalleled emperor who truly rules the world.

Today's territory of Qi State extends to the sea of ​​Wa State in the east, to the North Sea Ice Field in the north, to Yongliang in the west, to the Yangtze River in the south, and controls the land in the southwest.

Although the army has been suspended for several years, Cao Anmin has been implementing the strategy of cutting grass and roots.Because of this, Li Keyong and Yang Xiuqing were personally beheaded on the streets of Luoyang before.

The remnant bandits want to make a comeback, how could he allow it as the emperor of Daqi.

"I will play it, Wang Qing will keep it in mind, and we will do our best to eliminate the bandits!"

Li Jing was shocked when he heard this, and he made a promise again and again before retreating.

There are many tedious things in the six parts, but from the beginning to the end, the five heads of the cabinet did not say a word.

"Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Tian Feng, please play something!" Tian Feng walked out of the queue, his face was shocked, and he bowed and said: "The envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty has arrived in Pengcheng, and is now outside the main hall, waiting for His Majesty to meet!"

Tian Feng's words made many colleagues a little puzzled.

The Great Court Conference is an important military meeting of the country, and because of its rigor, only powerful officials are allowed to participate.

Although the Southern Tang Dynasty and the State of Qi had traded and friendly with each other over the years, all courtiers knew it well.

All this is just the calm before the storm.

There must be a battle between Qi and Tang, and the result of this battle will also determine who is the master of the world.

"The envoys of the Tang Dynasty came from afar, how can we let them wait outside the hall, let them enter the hall!" Cao Anmin waved his hand as a gesture.

On his left, an eunuch saluted respectfully and walked slowly outside the hall.

In the past few years, the system has finally taken care of Cao Anmin, and the courtiers summoned before have many more "relatives".

Although these people mixed together, they formed factions in the court, and even gave birth to the embryonic form of party struggle.

But for Cao Anmin, who controls everything, the courtiers are his chess pieces, and the world is his chessboard.How to play has always been decided by the chess player.

"The envoy of the Tang Dynasty enters the palace!"

Not long after, a handsome man walked quickly into the hall, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and finally came under the imperial steps.

"Elder Sun Wuji, the envoy of the Great Tang Dynasty, visits His Majesty Daqi, and may your Majesty and the friendship between the two countries last forever."

Grandson Wuji!

A murderous intent flashed in Cao Anmin's eyes.

But soon he recovered and waved his hand with a smile on his face.

"Your envoy please get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji saluted.

"Your envoy has come from afar, what is the important matter?"

The eldest grandson Wuji is the brother-in-law of Li Shimin, the second son of the Tang emperor, the king of Qin. As a messenger, his reputation is not well known.

Li Tang used this person as an envoy, in fact, he wanted to imitate Yan Zi's visit to Chu, and belittle Qi with the righteousness of noble and lowly people.

"The foreign minister came here this time, following the order of His Majesty, to continue to establish commercial and diplomatic relations with Daqi, and to maintain peace between the two countries."

When Cao Anmin heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Li Tang, a family member, has been identified by Cao Anmin as the number one confidant enemy of Qi State since he appeared in the world.

But there are too many enemies around Qi, and there is not much energy to deal with the distant enemies.

As Li Tang annexed Wu and Yue, although all the princes and nobles of the two countries were wiped out, the trade relationship between Yue and Qi was preserved.

It was precisely because of this that Qi State was not in a hurry to mobilize troops to destroy this southern enemy.Instead, sit back and watch them continue to annex the southern states and counties.

Three years later, because of the commercial relationship between the two countries, the national debt issued by Qi State has now become the only currency in circulation in Tang State.

Both the upper-class nobles and the lower-class people have already agreed with the purchasing power of Qi's national debt.

The economic lifeline is completely controlled by Qi State, but because of the limitations of his thinking, Li Tang is not aware of such an important link.Instead, he sent his head to Qi Guo from a thousand miles away, and let them chop it off at will.

"The matter of commerce is related to the national system of the two countries. I cannot make a decision easily. Your envoy will go to the post station to rest first. After three days, I will give your majesty an answer."

Changsun Wuji was taken aback.Obviously, Cao Anmin's rhetoric completely exceeded his imagination.

Cao Anmin was extremely straightforward in the previous business relations, but this time, Cao Anmin actually seemed to be procrastinating.

Observing Cao Anmin carefully from the corner of his eye, seeing that there was no expression fluctuation on Cao Anmin's face, Changsun Wuji stuffed half of his heart back into his stomach, bowed respectfully and retreated.

"The wind is going to blow again in this world!" Yao Guangxiao shook his head helplessly, as he was the chief assistant of the cabinet, he could see everything in the world clearly.How can he not know what the national debt is.

Cao Anmin's hesitation was actually a hint to his courtiers.

Pigs are already fat enough. If they are not slaughtered, it will be a waste of food.
