Chapter 57: The initiator of the Weishui Alliance

 "First eat some steamed buns and cushions, and then my uncle will come to the city to invite you to a big meal."

Changsun Wuji took out the steamed bun from the package and handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked back at Changsun Wuji, full of grievances.

If you ask Li Chengqian what he regrets the most in his life.

That is to believe in Li Shimin's evil.

When he fooled Li Chengqian out, he said he would catch pheasants for him to eat.

As a result, let alone pheasants along the way, eating a family sparrow will improve the food.

After leaving Chang'an City, Li Shimin specially searched for no one to walk around.

When I entered Hedong Road, which is now in Shanxi Province, it was already half a month later.

After half a month, Li Chengqian really regrets it.

Why are you doing this?

Isn’t it nice to stay in the Chang'an City Palace?

Seeing Li Chengqian's sad face, Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled.

This time, Li Shimin specifically instructed Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin not to bring too much money.

This is clearly what Li Shimin wants Li Chengqian to suffer.

At this time, Li Shimin lifted the curtain tent and got into the carriage from outside.

After rubbing his hands, Li Shimin said: "The winter in Hedong Road is much colder than in previous years."

After saying that, he still sighed: "The people here are going to suffer..."

"I'm suffering this year, but I don't necessarily suffer another year."

Li Chengqian looked out the window.

It snowed heavily two days ago, but now it looks like a vast white area.

Li Chengqian bit the cold steamed bun and said quietly: "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and next year's wheat harvest will definitely be good."

"Qian'er is right."

Changsun Wuji also agreed.

"When the cold wave passes, the weather gradually warms up, and the snow water melts into the soil, which is very beneficial for spring plowing and sowing and the growth and development of crops."

“More than that…”

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "I have seen it in the book, if the weather is cold in winter and the snow will fall.

It is often not easy to melt.”

"The snow covered in the soil is relatively soft, and there is a lot of non-flowing air hidden inside, and the air does not transfer heat."

"It's like covering a quilt with a crop. No matter how cold the weather outside, the temperature below will not drop very low."

"The most important thing is that the pests lay eggs in the soil or riverbeds to hide."

"If winter is cold and there is more snow in winter, when the snow covers the ground and riverbed, many pests will freeze to death."

"So the colder the weather in winter, the less likely it is to cause locust plagues."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian suddenly remembered something.

"Dad, this year Chang'an City is a rare warm season."

"If you follow this theory, you must be prepared to prevent insects."

"That's true."

Li Shimin nodded deeply with consent.

Then he turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji: "Wuji, remember to remind me after returning to Chang'an."

Changsun Wuji nodded, and it should be.

The carriage headed northward, arrived in Jinyang in mid-October, and arrived outside Yanmen Pass in the late 10 months.

Since ancient times, Yanmen Pass has been the gateway to the Central Plains and a place where many heroes emerge.

Li Mu during the Warring States Period, Li Guang during the Western Han Dynasty, and Xue Rengui, who is no more than Li Chengqian now.

The reason why these people became famous was nothing more than one, fighting against the nomadic peoples in the Northern Desert.

The nomadic peoples in the Beimo have never given up their obsession with the Central Plains since ancient times.

First there were the Huns, then Tiel, today there was a Turk, and later there were Liao, Jin, and Mongolia.

The vast north of China seemed to have really settled until the Qing Dynasty.

After all, the war and people who have not moved from the border have almost stopped taking the beheading seriously.

No matter what those Hu people in Beimo want

Like, they should live as they want.

Especially during the Tang Dynasty, when the government was in war, people on the border served the people during farming and soldiers during wartime. From ancestors to grandchildren, they could avoid the children who were learning to speak.

Almost all the other people had a bloody smell of war and gunpowder.

...

On this day, heavy snow fell from Yanmen Pass.

The border wine shops became lively.

It was cold and the winery in the wine shop was almost all traveling merchants.

Some people ordered strong wine to warm their stomachs, while some people ordered clear tea to drink slowly to talk.

At this time, the three men took a boy into the restaurant and found a remote corner to sit down.

The three men ordered a few side dishes, ordered two pots of strong liquor that was extremely difficult to eat but warmed the stomach, and each drank slowly.

As for the boy, he was holding a bowl of hot goat milk, sitting upright and staring at the snow.

The shopkeeper in the restaurant was already a knowledgeable person. When he saw them, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Although these people were ragged, they did not look like poor people. But why did they come to this place to suffer during this bitter and cold time?

Are you not afraid of being frozen to death on the streets?

The dignified prince Li Chengqian has become a little beggar who has been tossed along the way.

The great Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, became an old beggar, and he did not look so energetic.

Among them, Cheng Yaojin, who was thick-skinned and fleshy, had no change. He could still drink and sing music.

Li Chengqian took a sip of goat milk to warm up his body: "Dad said before that people in the north are not having a good time, so this is true."

"But in my opinion, the people in the northern desert should be even more difficult."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Dad, we have the civil and military strategies of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the residents of the north will still suffer from the severe cold."

"The one who caught up with Beimo is Jie Li, the old man, who is in this guy's control

It would be strange if the people in the northern desert were not killed or injured."

When Li Chengqian heard that he was literary and martial, he called Jie Li an old man, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile on his face.

Li Shimin pointed at Li Chengqian and scolded: "You guy is always unrestrained."

"But what Gan'er said makes sense. Last year, heavy snow fell from the sky in the northern desert, and countless cattle and sheep were frozen to death, and the people complained."

Changsun Wuji said on the side: "This year, the Beimo has caught up with such a cold and cold again. It would be strange if the people can get a good job."

Li Shimin nodded deeply in agreement, then looked at Changsun Wuji.

"Then do you think we should..."

After Li Shimin wrote the word "liang" on the table with wine, he continued: "Have you taken back this place?"

Which beam is there in this world?

It is nothing more than the Liang Shidu, who has always occupied the Shuofang area of ​​Xiazhou.

Liang Shidu was a real tyrant of the Turks in the Northern Desert. In the 13th year of Daye, Liang Shidu was the emperor and established the Liang Kingdom, and he had been in love with the Turks.

Moreover, this guy not only invaded Lingzhou repeatedly, but also instigated the Turks to oppose the Tang Dynasty.

This guy created the Weishui Alliance, which was regarded as a lifelong shame by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's hatred for this guy is no less than Beimo.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji pondered: "If we send troops, the north will definitely come to rescue him. I'm afraid that the scene will not end..."

"this……"

For a moment, Li Shimin was also in a dilemma.

If Liang is attacked, Jie Li will definitely come to rescue him. If Tang and Beimo attacked each other, it would be difficult to rest.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian, who drank all the goat's milk, suddenly spoke: "Didn't you just don't want Beimo to send troops? What's the difficulty?"

Seeing Li Chengqian's smug appearance, Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Do you have a way?"
