"The Tang army is here."

The hall was very quiet, only the voice of Zhongchen's sickle feet echoed gently.

Tianzhi sat on the imperial throne, his waist was straight, his lips were pursed, and his eyes were filled with a familiar madness.

"Jia Ping'an arrived at the city and looked very young and calm..."

Tianzhi's mouth raised slightly and he smiled sarcastically.

Zhongchen Kasuzu continued, "I asked about the reason for the Tang Dynasty's conquest."

Tianzhi sneered: "What can he say? Only the Japanese are disrespectful. Such excuses should be used to inform the people in the city and let them share the same hatred of the enemy."

Zhongchen's sickle feet were silent for a moment and lowered his head.

"He took out a small oil paper bag containing some powder, saying that it was... the poison brought by the envoy of Tang, and wanted to poison Emperor Tang."

All the madness of Tianzhi disappeared.

"I have never seen such a shameless person!"

He stood up and said, "Come with you."

The king and his ministers rode their horses slowly in the city. The people in the city were already confined, and only the soldiers were patrolling back and forth.

After seeing the monarch and his subjects, the soldiers quickly avoided the ceremony.

Tianzhi didn't look at these people at all. He pointed to the front and said, "Since I heard the news of Jia Ping'an's landing, I sent 100,000 civilians to build these. Does Jia Ping'an think the Bird City was just thickened? I really want to see how he was bleeding from his head in these places."

Nakamoto said in a low voice: "I am looking forward to it."

The ministers praised them one after another.

In front, all the buildings under the city were demolished, and one by one, similar to a fortress, rose from the ground, and the height was lower than the top of the city.

The top of the fort is like the head of the city, and can accommodate many people.

At this moment, countless soldiers stood above, holding bows and arrows in their hands...

"When the Tang army came to the top of the city, the dense rain of arrows would cause them to suffer heavy casualties."

Zhongchen said comfortably: "At that time, the soldiers on the city were silent, the minister did not scold him, just to make Jia Ping'an think that the morale in the city had fallen and there was no means to stop their attack."

Tianzhi looked at Zhongchen's sickle feet, and his eyes gradually turned red, "I want corpses, countless corpses!"

...

The army is being trimmed.

The marching lasted nine days, which was quite good in this climate, but it would be midsummer a while later, which was hard to bear.

"Send scouts to investigate on both wings of our army."

"What's behind?"

“No need to pay attention to the back.”

Jia Ping'an narrowed his eyes and said, "Our army has 20,000 people. It seems that there are quite a few people attacking Feiniao City, but if there are all soldiers, go some left and back, how many main force is left?"

“What should I do?”

Cui Jian almost took a small notebook to record.

"Just send a team to watch."

During these nine days, Cui Jian was asking about the matters related to the army along the way, and then recorded them when he arrived at the camp.

But he needs a director!

The chief minister has a lot of affairs and has to organize what he has learned, so Cui Jian writes in a dark environment every day until he can no longer see the words he wrote.

"Brother Cui, your eyes..."

You are less than forty, what should I do if I have myopia?

In broad daylight, Cui Jian actually squinted his eyes.

"fine."

Cui Jian was optimistic, "When I get old, I can't see it, let my children and grandchildren read it to me."

Jia Ping'an held it in for a while, "You will be bad if you get old."

Cui Jian: "..."

The two were walking slowly in the camp, and from time to time, someone came to ask Jia Ping'an for advice.

"How long does it take to start the attack?"

Cui Jian changed the topic.

Jia Ping'an shook his head, "The food and grass for 100,000 people are in our hands, so don't worry."

Cui Jianxiao said: "But you will finish eating it after all. It is difficult to get here from the Tang Dynasty. The loss along the way is shocking..."

“Not difficult.”

Cui Jian was very angry, "It's really difficult. Most of the food was mobilized from Luoyang. The cost of sending it from Luoyang to Dengzhou was so scary. Then it was crossing the sea to Tsushima Island... Tsushima Island and then to the seaside... Then it was transported by the logistics team. One kilogram of grain was transported along the way, which cost at least five kilograms of grain."

The road is too far.

The people who ate and chewed horses all the way, which was so expensive that they were scary.

Some grain transport teams can lose 90% on the road... Damn it's so scary!

So why can’t you fight? Just look at the loss and you will know.

If hundreds of thousands of troops fight outside for a year, the country will be greatly damaged; if two years fight, the emperor will tighten his belt; if three years fight... Let's do this emperor, I will take my wife and children to farm.

Jia Ping'an glanced at him, "There is a lot of food in the city."

Well!

Cui Jian was stunned, "You actually thought...yes! The food in the city must be quite large after Tianzhi's plunder. But...but hasn't this been captured yet?"

"Sooner or later."

Jia Ping'an frowned.

Cui Jian asked, "What are you thinking?"

"I miss my daughter."

"Don't miss my son?"

"I don't want to be a group of demons in the world." Jia Ping'an smiled bitterly: "The eldest brother is like a little adult all day long. The second brother smiles carefreely and is fat when drinking water. The third brother is a slut. I don't worry about the eldest brother, I have to worry about the second brother, and I will want to beat him to death."

"Why?" Cui Jian wondered, "Old Sanyin, it's better if it's yin!"

"Do you think that if others are yin, they won't be yin?" Jia Ping'an shook his head, "It's like Li Yi's mansion, is it yin? But once the other party takes out thunder means... these yin are passing smoke."

The other party refers to the emperor and empress, and Cui Jian is well aware of this.

"What do you want?"

The weather was very good and the sky was blue. The tranquility before the war allowed both Jia Ping'an and Cui Jian to relax.

Jia Ping'an glanced at him and smiled and said, "At the beginning, I just wanted to survive, are you trusting?"

Cui Jian nodded, "You were almost buried alive back then, but when you arrived in Chang'an City, there were dangers everywhere. Xuanzang was ready to suppress you... You entered the hundred cavalry later. If you could not show your usefulness, why would Your Majesty protect you? So you can only attack Guanlong and the gentry... If you offend the people of the world, your Majesty can protect you."

This is the equivalent exchange that is perfect.

I have nothing to appreciate you, so I protect you!

If an emperor wants to protect someone, it will definitely be beneficial. Even if he protects a woman, this woman will inevitably have something that will touch him, such as being his capable assistant, such as being in bed, letting him eat the marrow and know the taste...

Cui Jian sighed: "I know you don't want to conflict with the gentry."

Jia Ping'an felt that he was too confident, but Jia Ping'an couldn't help but feel happy when the Shandong gentry thought so.

OK, you keep thinking, it’s okay to think of me as a dog raised by the emperor.

"But this attack on Japan must not be a mistake." Cui Jian lowered his voice, "If you lose this time, you will probably be drowned before you arrive in Chang'an."

Jia Ping'an nodded, "I understand."

"You don't understand!"

Cui Jian was a little excited, "You don't know their methods. When they really treat you as a mortal enemy, they will do everything they can. Do you think they have been staying at home for hundreds of years to have children? No, they have been thinking about how to deal with this world for hundreds of years... and killing and destroying their mortal enemy is the thing they think about the most."

Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "The silver mountain is here!"

Cui Jian: "..."

Who dares to talk to Jia Ping'an when Yinshan is here?

This Silver Mountain is his gold medal for avoiding death.

"I have sent someone to the Yinshan Mountain. When the birds fly, the prisoners will take them over and then start mines..."

It's silver!

Jia Ping'an was looking forward to the huge changes this huge silver mountain could bring to the Tang Dynasty.
To be continued...
