"That's right! This is the only way to solve Guanlong's blockade. I didn't think of it before, but when I was chatting with brother Zhang Feng, he reminded me. "
"The Eight Rivers of Chang 'an surround Chang' an and converge at the Yellow River. Isn't this a natural trade route?"
"To the west, you can enter the Qinling Mountains, and to the south, you can enter Luozhou. If Guanlong's people had known about this route, I might have paid them a visit today with gifts!"
"But God bless us. The Eight Rivers of Chang 'an, which we have neglected all this time, unexpectedly became my final solution to Chang' an's crisis!"
Li Shimin was filled with endless emotions.
Wei Zheng and the others were also stunned by what they saw.
The Eight Rivers of Chang 'an!
They didn't expect that the final solution would be the Eight Rivers of Chang 'an!
However, the Eight Rivers of Chang 'an had been abandoned and turned into stinking gutters. It was even worse than the moat of Chang' an City. Could this really solve Chang 'an's crisis?
Everyone couldn't help but gather together to discuss again. Only then did Wei Zheng begin, "Your Majesty, although the Eight Rivers of Chang 'an are good, when the time comes … at least in this old subject's memory, this old subject has never cleaned it up even once! And every time there was a flood in the Qinling Mountains, the river would have been blocked by silt. Can this be used at this time? "
"Your Majesty! This is a matter of great importance. Why don't we send someone to check it out tomorrow and then do something? "
Du Ruhui also tried to persuade him.
Li Shimin waved his hand.
He motioned for everyone to be quiet and then fell into deep thought.
Someone in the imperial court must know about this matter. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been known by Guanlong's people so quickly.
But who was Guanlong's person?
Li Shimin didn't know. After all, there were too many people in the imperial court!
There were so many that Li Shimin himself felt a headache.
Although this matter was targeted by Guanlong, it was better to say that those in the imperial court were targeting him.
Li Shimin's fingers dug deeply into his palm under his embroidered robe. The deep pain made him temporarily forget his impulse to clean up the court.
Li Shimin lowered his head and closed his eyes, letting everyone see the killing intent in his eyes. A moment later, Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes.
"There's no need for tomorrow!"
"Tonight, tonight, We will have everyone clear out the blockages in these rivers at all costs!"
Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
Eight rivers, one night?
This …
How many people were needed?
However, they also heard the implied meaning in Li Shimin's words. There were all kinds of demons and ghosts in the Imperial Court, and there were also many people with different surnames and seven looks.
The Emperor wanted to avoid these people's eyes and ears and then deal with this matter before he was impeached by these people tomorrow morning. But one could imagine the difficulty of this matter.
"Emperor!"
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin was excited.
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you forgot someone!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "Who?"
"The Navy Commander Zhang Liang!"
"If his navy joins in tonight's action, then this matter is absolutely foolproof!"
"Night action is difficult. Although there is a bright moon at night, if a landlubber who is not familiar with water goes down, it will definitely be a gift to the Water Dragon King. So I'm sure that the navy will be better at this than anyone else!"
Hearing this.
Li Shimin stood up excitedly and patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder.
"Yes! How could I forget Zhang Liang? "
However, at this moment, Li Shimin's excited eyes dimmed again.
"Zhang Liang's troops are on the coast and near Luozhou. It's too far …"
"Not far, not far!"
Cheng Yaojin's face flushed with excitement. He pushed Zhangsun Wuji away and took Li Shimin to the map on the wall. He pointed to the eight waterways and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. Although Zhang Liang doesn't have a large army, I went to his house last time when I went to drink with him. Good guys, the yard is full of veterans. They are all good swimmers!"
"These are all his loyal followers. After they retired, they had no place to go, so Zhang Liang kept them in his house. Fortunately, there are three thousand mu of land. They are the ones who take care of it. But I always feel that it's a pity for these ducks to go ashore. I didn't expect to meet them tonight!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning slightly.
In Zhang Liang's house, there were three thousand retired veterans!?
What did Zhang Liang want to do?
However, at this moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile.
Patting the agitated Cheng Yaojin, he said, "Now that you mention it, We do remember. We had forgotten about this group of navy soldiers who had once cut through all obstacles for the Great Tang. However, three thousand soldiers aren't enough!"
"Hey! You don't know about this, right? Although Zhang Liang is idle at home outside Chang 'an City, he is still in charge of recruiting marines. The place he is at is the training ground for marines. Last time, when we were drunk, he insisted on dragging me to swim. Good guy, there were tens of thousands of ducks in the dark! "
Success!
Li Shimin's expression changed.
He didn't expect that Zhang Liang would inadvertently save him.
"Pass down the decree! Let Zhang Liang bring all his men to the eight rivers to clean up the waterways. If the cleanup is completed before dawn, I will personally set up the Chang 'an Navy Residence and let this group of veterans manage the eight rivers! "
"Wei Zheng, We command you to personally announce the decree. You must announce it in front of all the navy soldiers!"
Wei Zheng's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly bowed.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
