Zhao Chiman is now a servant captain, but he used to be a powerful general on the battlefield. He still had some concerns about Xue Su's surprise soldier.

"It is true that he wins with a good match. But in the past, Emperor Yang of Sui conquers Goguryeo several times, and he sent troops to cross the sea every time, but almost never achieved his goal. The father of the prime minister Lai Gong led his troops to attack Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, but forty thousand naval troops entered the city, but he was ambushed by the Goguryeo people, and in the end there were only a few thousand people who escaped from the city."

Li Xiao shook his head, "It's different from the past. Although it's both attacking by sea, its attack methods are not the same. When I came to Hu'er to march through sea, he always approached Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. Although he had the advantage of directly attacking the enemy's heart, he was also a head-on fight. After all, the navy was just an isolated army, without a base, and could not fight for a long time. If he couldn't fight, it would be a difficult situation to get rid of the tiger."

The intention of the Sui Dynasty to send sea routes was very obvious. It was to cooperate with the main force of the Liaodong army and play a strategic intention to restrain Goguryeo's troops.

But the Tang Dynasty was different. Now the main force on land was a feint attack and cooperated with the surprise troops on the sea. Moreover, Xue Rengui and others did not go directly to fight Goguryeo, but attacked Danluo first, then attacked Baekje, and joined forces with Silla to destroy Baekje first to seize a base that could support the long-term war of the Tang Dynasty.

"You can fight a protracted war. The number of 40,000 troops is too small and is hanging alone overseas. How to ensure the transportation of food and grass weapons? If a sea storm occurs and the logistics food and grass equipment cannot be transported in time, how can the army support it?" Zhao Chiman asked.

The sailing of the sea was still very adventurous in this era. The Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo several times, and the soldiers were sent to the sea. They encountered several storms and sank countless ships. Moreover, although the distance between Dengzhou and Sanhan Peninsula was very close, the army had not taken a straight route, but had to follow the Bohai Bay coast, the Miaodao Islands, and circle the coastline a large circle.

Even if you attack Baekje, you have to go through Goguryeo first.

Although this route is much safer to sail along the coast, it is much time-consuming.

Moreover, in winter, the Liaohai Sea will freeze and ships cannot travel.

What are the most feared when a large army goes out to fight? Of course, it is still the supply of food and equipment. If there is no logistics supply, it will be difficult to maintain the army. If it is fought for a long time, there will be only 40,000 troops alone and go deep behind enemy lines without support, which is still very dangerous.

"Don't we have the vassal state of Silla, which will be the vanguards when attacking Baekje. They also promised to provide food, grass and weapons to the army. In addition, we can also use war to support the war and replenish local supplies."

In the past, the Sui army attacked Goguryeo at sea, and each time they would directly land near Pyongyang and then attack the city of Pyongyang. But now the Tang army is different, they are going to occupy Baekje.

One city and one pool are attacked, and one city and one pool are occupied.

The two chatted casually.

Not far away, the two were fishing under the shade of a tree.

This place has dense shade and high weeds, which Li Xiao and the others didn't notice.

"This person is Li Sanlang, the Corn Supervisor?" Han Yuan asked.

"Well, Zhao Da is by his side, so this person must be Li San." The person who replied was holding a fishing rod, wearing a hat on his head, half-white hair and beard, but his eyes were very vivid.

His hands holding the rod are very stable, magical but calm.

"Brother Fu Ji, this Li Sanzhi is quite capable of talking about war on military affairs." Han Yuan said. The husband of the current dynasty sighed with his beard on his face.

Han Yuan was outstanding in his career and knowledgeable when he was young. He was born in the Han family in Nanyang and also from a famous family. His father was also the Minister of Justice of the Tang Dynasty. During the Zhenguan period, he was transferred to the Minister of War and was appointed as the Duke of Yingchuan County. In the court, he and Changsun Wuji were both in-laws and ally, and were offensive and defensive alliances.

Changsun Wuji turned his head and looked at Li Xiao, and his eyes fell on Zhao Chiman again.

Zhao Chiman was his relative and Han Yuan, and he was also the best among the children of Guanlong, but now he has become a slave and a slave to a farmer. This is the emperor's insult to him and a pure insult.

But what can Changsun Wuji do?

Although he has been a prefect for decades, now that he is old, his nephew emperor is aggressive, so what can he do?

"Li Daozong arrived in Beijing tomorrow. His Majesty wants him to be the Minister of the Secretariat. This is a bad person."

Today, the two prime ministers came to the Weishui River outside the capital to fish. Although they liked fishing, fishing was fake at this time, and talking about things was real.

"Not only Li Daozong returned to the capital, but His Majesty also wanted to demote Suedengshan to the governor of Guizhou again." Changsun Wuji sighed.

Once demoted to Tanzhou and Guizhou, he was no longer willing to give Chu Suiliang a chance to return to Beijing. Tanzhou is located in West Jiangnan Road, while Guizhou is located in Lingnan.

"What is the situation? We followed the great country that Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong was about to be destroyed in the hands of today." Han Yuan sighed.

Although the Han family in Nanyang is not a Guanlong faction, many wealthy families in Guanxi and Guandong have gradually merged with the Guanlong nobles, forming alliances through marriage and other means to advance and retreat together. It can be said that their interests have actually been united and prospered.

"What was we exiled Li Daozong to do? It was not to protect the emperor, but now, a decree summoned Li Daozong to the court, and also appointed him as the third rank of the Secretariat and the Secretariat, and entered the Political Affairs Hall as the Prime Minister. What is this to be the place for me? I have been deceived by the bad name, and all the good people have been deceived, and in the end they have to be so aggressive!" Han Yuan was full of anger.

The emperor valued Li Ji, and favored Wu in the harem, and used treacherous ministers like Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, and even handed over all military power to Shandong people such as Cheng Yaojin, Xue Rengui, Su Lie, and Cheng Mingzhen.

These Guanlong nobles and Shandong gentry have become increasingly deprived of their status.

The consequences of Chu Suiliang, Zhao Chiman and others disappointed them.

On the contrary, it is like a farm like Li Xiao, but he can be free and happy. What is the reason?

"Brother Fu Ji, I have inquired about Li Xiao. He is very frivolous and Meng Lang. He is full of flaws in this person. He is also involved with Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Rengui and others. If we start with him and grab some handles, we will have the opportunity to shake Li Ji." Han Yuan said gritting his teeth.

Now the situation is at a critical moment.

When Chu Suiliang was demoted to Guizhou again, Li Daozong immediately returned to court. The emperor was still aggressive towards them. If he went on, they would be the next Chu Suiliang. No one wanted to be old and was exiled to Lingnan.

You cannot sit and wait for death, you must fight back.

However, such an old fox like Li Ji, it is easy to catch the handle, but Li San is full of loopholes. If Li San is used as a breakthrough, if they have the chance to implicate Li Ji, it is just like when they used Fang Yiai as a breakthrough, and finally pretended to be Li Daozong, Li Ke, Xue Wanche and others.

In court struggles, we must also talk about strategies.

As long as they can get obvious faults from Li Ji and others, the emperor will not be able to protect Li Ji and continue to stay in the court.

"I want to talk to him!"

"Who are you with?" Han Yuan didn't understand for a moment.

"With Li Sanlang." Changsun Wuji looked over there, and Li Xiao and Zhao Chiman were talking and laughing. It was hard for Changsun Wuji to believe that Zhao Chiman could chat with Li Xiao so happily.

As the pride of the Guanlong nobles, why didn’t Zhao Chiman commit suicide? How could he endure the shame now?

Also, he knew that Li Xiao had written letters to Zhao Chiman several times, and even went to prison for Zhao Chiman's prison. Zhao Chiman had led troops to attack his village. Why could Li Xiao still be brothers with Zhao Chiman, and even treat him as brothers now?

He couldn't figure it out, but he felt that Li Xiao was definitely not simple. He Changsun Wuji would not look at people based on his own background, and he was not that superficial.

I remember when he followed Emperor Taizong, he was just a commoner at first. Although his ancestors had glory, his father died when he was young. Because his biological mother died early, his father was kicked out of the house by several half-brothers after his death. If it weren't for his uncle Gao Shilian taking them in, they wouldn't even have a home.

Li Xiao does have many flaws, but there are also things that can not hide the merits.

Han Yuan didn't understand.

"What are you talking about? What can I talk about with him? Does Brother Fu Ji think he can be won over? He has clinged to Li Ji. Now he is a founding man at a young age, and may not be able to win you and me."

Changsun Wuji suddenly changed the subject at this time.

"The two jade seedlings I raised in my home have grown very well recently and have begun to bear ears. One plant has four ears. But I heard from the people in the corn prison that one plant can only maintain two ears at most, and the most must be picked. If it is insufficient fertility and the hillsides and other places when water is dry, you can even leave one ear."

"One more corn ear can make you more corn, but it is said that if the water and fertilizer are insufficient and the ears are left, the corn will have a lot of empty space, and even the corn kernels cannot grow on the stick. If the more you keep, the harvest will actually be less. I told my husband that the extra petals will be left, leaving only two, but he refused to do it for a long time, feeling that the petals were wasted."

Changsun Wuji ignored Han Yuan and just spoke to himself.

"I used to believe in any auspicious corn, thinking it was just a lie and a scam. But now I see the two corns growing taller, watching the ears and changing day by day, I have actually slowly believed that this is auspiciousness from the sky."

"Brother Fu Ji, it's too early to say that before the harvest is yet."

"No, I have believed 90%. Li Xiao used to be just a liar, but now I observe and think this person is amazing. I used to think that Ping Liaoce was impossible to come from him, and Yumi is just a lie, but now I believe him."

"You should also know the news from Shayuan that Li Xiao planted corn in the saline-alkali land in Shayuan, and it grew pretty well. This is amazing news. Although the saline-alkali land is not a place where grass does not grow, it is impossible to plant crops under normal circumstances, but Li Xiao planted it."

"Do you know how precious this corn is?"
