Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

As soon as the idea came to mind, he ordered someone to call the imperial doctor and carefully inquired about the detailed process of treating Li Jing this time. He found that Li Jing was indeed ill, and then he had no choice but to reconsider the candidates to go to Guan Nei to quell the chaos.

Although Li Daozong suffered a big loss there and almost wiped out his entire army, Li Shimin was still very confident that he would be able to put it down in a short time.

However, the only thing that puzzled him was whether the army that suddenly appeared in the pass was sent by Lingnan, or was a conspiracy from Chu Xin.

In just a moment, he removed Lingnan from his doubt list.

After all, this piece of shit Chu Mo went to Zhenla after falling out with Yang Hongyu some time ago. Now his envoys are still staying in the post house, trying to get an explanation from him, but they still refuse to leave. go.

Zhenla and Guannai are thousands of miles apart. Even if Chu Mo could fly, it would be impossible for him to go back and forth between the two places in such a short period of time.

Since the trouble was not caused by Lingnan, the last place in the Tang Dynasty that could possess fire guns was undoubtedly Chu Xin's Zhengzhou.

After locking in the suspect, Li Shimin immediately ordered the defenders stationed in Xiangyang to advance, leaving Chu Xin with no time to care.

In addition, he reactivated Cheng Yaojin, who had been wronged by Chu Xin and Li Chengqian and was idle at home.

After a lot of troubles between the two brothers Chu Mo and Chu Xin, Li Shimin discovered that the generals in his hands either defected or died in battle. Now there are very few people who can use them, and they are already somewhat stretched.

When Cheng Yaojin heard that he was going to annihilate the rebels in the pass, his originally dark face suddenly turned pale with fear.

Although he was idle at home, he still heard about what happened in the court.

Previously, Li Daozong brought 30000 people to quell the rebellion, but in the end, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in vain, and he almost couldn't even come back.

At this time, the pass is obviously a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If you go there, if you are lucky, you can come back with your life. If you are not lucky, you will probably die there.

However, Cheng Yaojin also knew that he would not be able to escape this imperial edict.

So he prepared a generous gift overnight, went to Li Jing, and wanted to ask the other party to give him some advice.

However, after arriving at Li Mansion, Hongfu Nu told Cheng Yaojin that Li Jing was seriously ill in bed and would not see anyone.

Cheng Yaojin, who thought he was dead this time, was about to go out when he saw Hongfu Girl handing him a kit and asked him to wait until he got to the pass to open it.

Cheng Yaojin, who didn't know what kind of medicine Li Jing was selling in his gourd, set out again with the 50000 troops given by Li Shimin to quell the chaos in the pass.

This time, Cheng Yaojin did not choose to follow Li Daozong's old path. Instead, he followed the route Li Jing took before and set up camp directly at the end of the field.

When he took out the tips bag given by Hongfu Nu and opened it, he saw only a piece of paper inside, with a big word "Drag" on it.

Thinking of Li Jing being recalled to Chang'an by Li Shimin to reprimand him because of his delay in taking action, Cheng Yaojin immediately understood the meaning.

So, without saying a word, he started building fortifications directly on the spot, making it appear that he wanted to stay here for a long time.

When Li Shimin and a group of civil and military officials got Cheng Yaojin, they stopped like Li Jing. This time, no one dared to say anything. Everyone was waiting to see whether Cheng Yaojin would be like him. Like Li Daozong, he returned with a broken sword.

However, what is surprising is that after Cheng Yaojin settled down, he did suffer several waves of serious attacks, and the two sides also fought back and forth several times.

But every time, Cheng Yaojin always stayed within the fortifications. Even if he defeated the enemy, he had no intention of pursuing him.

After several rounds of testing, the rebel army also knew that Cheng Yaojin was a tortoise.

So, without any hesitation, a camp was set up at the foot of the mountain to check and balance the other party.

In this way, the two sides were at a stalemate.

The time dragged on until May, and Guan Nei finally received the first rain of the year.

As the first rain fell, the people in the pass began to cheer and shout.

And Cheng Yaojin finally knew why Li Jing wrote him a word "drag". What the other party asked him to wait for was this rain.

Taking advantage of the heavy rain, he decisively ordered the entire army to attack. Taking advantage of the inconvenience of the opponent's use of firecrackers, he directly attacked the local camp and captured the camp that he had been facing for more than a month in one fell swoop.

Not only that, Cheng Yaojin also took advantage of the rain to attack directly and regained most of the areas in the pass.

When the news came back to Chang'an, Li Shimin was very pleased and directly ordered to commend Cheng Yaojin, and made it clear that when his class returned to the court, he would personally go out of the city to greet him.

However, just when everyone was immersed in the joy brought by the victory,

Cheng Yaojin encountered big trouble again.

This trouble was not caused by the rebels, nor was it caused by the local people.

Those people, since it rained, have gone back to their homes and looked for their mothers, and they have all become good and law-abiding people.

What really troubled him was that, just as he was about to wipe out the remaining rebels, God was not in his good mood and it started to rain heavily.

The rain will either stop falling or it won't stop, and it will get worse.

In desperation, he could only withdraw his troops depressedly to prevent a sudden flood from drowning all his troops.

At the same time, not only in the pass, but also in the entire Datang territory, continuous heavy rain began to fall, accompanied by hailstones of different sizes.

The heavy rain lasted for more than half a month in various places.

Memorials reporting disasters from all over the place were like snowflakes again, falling in piles on Li Shimin's imperial case.

Looking at the disaster reports coming from everywhere, Li Shimin fell into chaos again.

The summer harvest is about to begin, and heavy rain and hail suddenly fall everywhere, which undoubtedly makes it worse.

Seeing the piles of reports on the disaster situation on the table, Li Shimin couldn't help but miss Chu Mo.

At this time, after several months of construction, Chu Mo had built four simple docks on Liuqiu Island, which could temporarily provide docking for his own ships.

In addition, he also sent the warrior Yu to secretly go to the coastal areas of Fujian, and used the dug gold, silver, and copper ores to exchange various urgently needed resources with some local gentry and wealthy businessmen.

Of course, many unpleasant things, big and small, also happened during this period.

However, in the end, Chu Mo asked Li Junxian to take half of the fleet with artillery and blunderbuss in hand to reason with these people.

These wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen all became polite in an instant, and not only gave Chu Mo a large amount of materials, slaves and craftsmen for free.

They even paid high prices to purchase the products on Ryukyu Island, just to make friends with Chu Mo, a giant.

Chu Mo was still very satisfied with this.
