The emperor personally led the army to fight, and to put it nicely, in fact, after many generals came over to welcome him, he saw what the show was.

Emperor Yang of Sui was extremely wide in the frame, and all the horses were good war horses. Not only were there horses dragged them, but there were also people half-blind dragged them next to the frame.

Li De's outfit is different from everyone else. People like Li Yuan all came in armor. When they saw that they were ordered, they were different. They were wearing the special custom-made clothes of the governor of Youzhou, which was very strange to others.

Li De was dressed in a suit and wearing small leather boots. Except for the fact that the color of the cloth was not serious enough, he looked very casual.

The equipment was drawn by Li De on a whim, and it is also a dress that is popular among Youzhou officials. There are many customizations of this style in the Li family's cloth shop, which has developed a certain market.

People in Youzhou are no longer surprised, but now they are more attracted by the attention of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Emperor Yang of Sui was also watching Li De's clothes. Although the emperor liked to be rich and rich, he had some level of aesthetics for clothing. Seeing Li De's clothes so differently, it seemed to be somewhat similar to Hu people's clothes, and he felt a little contemptuous in his heart.

People in the bitter and cold land of Youzhou are different and cunning. They are all different in their clothes. When they are despised, they suddenly feel superior.

"Last general, I will pay homage to Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.

Not including Li De, fortunately, he didn't kneel down and bow down at this time, otherwise he would be able to make trouble in minutes.

Emperor Yang of Sui was very comforted when he saw so many people coming in front of him. He was very proud of his behavior. Later, the Emperor Huer and the emperor brought the generals and princes into Penglai Chengnei.

The Knight Guard and others were all arranged in Penglai and replaced the defense.

Yu Wenhe directly took over Penglaicheng.

Lai Hu'er had a handover with Yu Wenhuaji. At this time, even if he didn't want to, he would have to bite the bullet and replace the guards. He had no choice but to have the wasteland.

The Penglai soldiers and horses who had changed their guards were placed near the seaside. At this time, the Penglai port had been occupied by Li De's sailors. Lai Hu'er's troops were also establishing preliminary cooperation between the two sides.

Yes, Lai Hu'er is not a fool. Before Li De arrived, he sent someone to contact each other. The cooperation is to win each other. I think that this kind of passiveness is only temporary.

Lai Hu'er doesn't believe in other people, and even Li De doesn't trust him, but he believes that Li De will not regret it based on the conditions he gave.

He agreed to the migration of the people in Penglai and the harbor. If Penglai was forcibly occupied by the emperor, or if other soldiers were taken over by the vanguard, they would not be beneficial.

At least there is no such preferential treatment as he gave.

The palace of the Emperor Cheng Nei of Penglai was ready, and a general's mansion, including the areas around the general's mansion, had already been under the condition. At this time, 50,000 troops had been stationed around the general's mansion where Emperor Yang of Sui lived, almost occupying a large area of ​​Penglaicheng.

The city wall can accommodate 50,000 soldiers and horses, and is now being replaced by the cavalry guards led by Yuwen Chengdu. The remaining emperor's 100,000 soldiers are three miles outside the city.

If there is something in the city, you can come to support it with an incense stick. Moreover, there are still a large number of troops stationed in it, so the safety is quite guaranteed.

Emperor Yang of Sui summoned these generals in the general's mansion, and held a very simple meeting.

Li De kept listening, and what he was not used to was that he asked people to sit down and discuss meetings in Youzhou, but they could only stand here. It took only a few hours to say that, and he felt like he was punished to stand.

However, his gains were quite great. Although these generals and princes didn't have many soldiers, they couldn't stand the number of people coming. The current number of soldiers does not include the emperor's 200,000 soldiers and horses. There were already 300,000 soldiers and horses gathered outside Penglai Cheng.

In addition, he had heard that the Northwest soldiers of the Kuanshan King had sent 100,000 troops to come, and the total number of people conquered this time had reached 600,000.

"How are the food and grass prepared for 600,000 soldiers and horses?" asked Emperor Yang of Sui.

At this time, it was like a court meeting. Liu Xuanli, the Minister of War, stood up and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the food and grass we have raised can last for three months."

"How can I do it in three months? The Ministry of War's raising of food and grass must be resolved immediately." Emperor Yang of Sui said.

Liu Xuanli was a little embarrassed. Raising food and grass requires money. Your Majesty, what should you use to raise food and grass without paying for it? The resources that the Ministry of War can mobilize have been prepared, so where can we do more? Even if we bite the bullet, we have to say it, otherwise the Ministry of War will really not be able to produce more food and grass.

"Your Majesty, food and grass can be purchased like Youzhou, but the money needs to be spent from the Luoyang treasury in Chang'an. Please give me a message."

Liu Xuanli had to say that the meaning was very simple, which was to tell Emperor Yang of Sui that they had no money now, and they had to send money. If it were another prefecture to raise food, it would be enough to have the emperor's order.

However, the food and grass needed for 600,000 troops cannot be raised in just a few prefectures. There is a large amount of grain in Youzhou but it requires payment to purchase it.

Liu Xuanli didn't care about his face or not at this time, and he was in charge of the imperial army in person. If he couldn't let go, he really had no food, and they would have to stop.

Li De was listening on the side, and he had no interest at first, but when he heard that there was a business coming, he became energetic.

Emperor Yang of Sui really couldn't stand his face at this time, and he had no good impression of Liu Xuanli of the Ministry of War, although what he said was the truth.

"Can all the ministers have a solution?" In order to avoid embarrassment, Emperor Yang of Sui directly did not answer Liu Xuanli in a positive way, and led the topic to other ministers.

The ministers didn't think so much. They all understood that if they were raising food in other states, they might be able to raise it, but the amount of food needed would take a lot of time.

On the one hand, raising food also involves transportation.

After the three campaigns against Goryeo, they all thought about the reasons for their failure. The court officials were not fools. Now they still need to start with food and grass to solve the problem.

The imperial guards will not lack morale when they are in the process of expedition. If they lack food, just buy it. Anyway, there is enough food in Youzhou City, so they all know.

Some people even understand that people are thinking about the Sui Kingdom. The reason is very simple to use money to buy a large amount of food and grass. Although they paid a lot of money, they think about it in another way. Isn’t it also consuming Youzhou’s grain reserves in disguise.

Once their food reserves are insufficient, it is a good thing for the stability of the Sui State.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Liu said is very reasonable. The fastest way to raise money now is to buy grain in Youzhou." The civil officials all thought so.

Someone soon followed suit.

Emperor Yang of Sui had to turn his attention to Li De. At the same time, Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, also looked at Li De. He already understood what these court officials were going to do.
