Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chu Mo soon received the message from Cui Yingying.

She has cleaned up the entire Cui family. In three days, it will be the day when she will succeed as the head of the Cui family. She would like to invite Chu Mo to come and bear witness together.

After Chu Mo received the news, he called the father and daughter to Shiweitian again that night, and they discussed in the private room all night long.

At noon the next day, news came out that shocked the entire city of Chang'an.

The Bolingcui family's situation changed overnight.

Not only was the position of the head of the family going to be passed on to a woman, but more importantly, this woman also made bold claims that she would also establish a World Chamber of Commerce to compete with Chu Mo's Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce.

Anyone who is squeezed out by the World Chamber of Commerce, or who cannot stand the bullying and domination of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, can join the World Chamber of Commerce.

There is no threshold for entry into the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. As long as you can afford the membership fee and are willing to listen to the Chamber of Commerce's instructions, you can join.

Suddenly, the entire city of Chang'an was filled with news from the two chambers of commerce.

The Tianxia Chamber of Commerce has suddenly emerged, and it has actually recruited a large number of merchants, and there is really a hint of Chumo's confrontational attitude.

At this time, Li Shimin no longer cared about the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce and the World Chamber of Commerce.

Just now, he received the second border emergency report.

The emergency report said: After the frost disaster, Hou Junji led more than 20000 remaining troops of the Tang Army to retreat back to Mayi. After meeting with the 1000 Xuanjia Army led by Yu Chigong who was resting in Mayi at the time, they temporarily stabilized their position.

It is true that the Turks were unable to invade the Tang Dynasty for the time being because of the serious frost disaster.

Originally, the two sides only had some small-scale conflicts, and had no intention of starting another war.

But the bad thing was Wang Junkuo, who had previously taken refuge with Jieli Khan, and the 3000 soldiers he led.

The other party was already very familiar with the situation in the Tang Dynasty. During the frost disaster, he happened to lead his army to hide in the Evil Yang Ridge, and his soldiers basically suffered no losses.

This time, he took advantage of the time when both sides were resting after the disaster to get 30000 troops from Jieli Khan, and then combined with Liang Shidu's 50000 troops to attack Mayi from both sides of Foyang Ridge and Shuofang City. .

If it were normal times, or when Li Jing was still in Mayi, it would not be impossible to hold out for such an attack for several months.

But the bad thing is that the Tang army has just suffered a drastic change, the morale of the army is unstable, and there is no warm clothing in the front, and all the food and grass supplies have been lost in the battle of Evil Yang Ridge.

If supplies are sufficient, then Hou Junji can hold on for a while.

But now, with neither supplies nor military morale, the soldiers cannot brave the severe cold and use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's iron hoofs.

Therefore, in just three days, Mayi fell into the hands of the Turks three days later.

However, after Yuchi Jingde cut off the rear with 1000 Xuanjia troops, Hou Junji took the remaining troops to break through the encirclement and withdrew to the direction of Youzhou.

The battle report did not say how many soldiers were lost in this battle, nor did it say the last news about Yuchi Jingde and the 1000 Xuanjia troops.

But Li Shimin knew that staying behind in that situation would be a recipe for disaster.

Regardless of summoning the courtiers to discuss, Li Shimin directly issued an order to mobilize the entire country's troops and vowed to end the war with the Turks.

After giving the order, Li Shimin once again traveled lightly and went straight to Shiweitian.

This time he wanted to mobilize all the troops from the whole country to attack the Turks. As the saying goes, the troops and horses have not yet moved the food and grass.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty is in the most critical moment, which is even more critical than last year when Jieli Khan invaded. If one mistake is not made, the Tang Dynasty will even be destroyed.

Li Shimin is not worried about anything else now. He is only worried about whether the winter supplies and food that Chu Mo promised him can be fulfilled.

Without these supplies and food, even if he was given Li Ertian's soldiers and generals, he would not be able to defeat the Turks with these hungry soldiers who could not walk.

When Chu Mo saw Li Shimin again.

The emperor, who had always paid great attention to his appearance, now had bloodshot eyes, an unkempt beard, and a vague sense of decadence on his body.

After learning the other party's intention, Chu Mo directly extended his palm without saying a word.

Don't worry, it's not about high-fiving Li Shimin, but mainly asking him for money.

According to Chu Mo's words: "Don't worry about winter supplies, food and grass, as long as you, Li Er, have money, even the moon in the sky, I can help you with it."

Li Shimin's originally red eyes became even redder.

He gasped and asked Chu Mo sternly: "Do you really want to see the entire Tang Dynasty being trampled under the iron hooves of the Turks? Do you have the heart to watch the people of the Tang Dynasty being treated like two-legged sheep by those Turks? Eat it?"

Chu Mo curled his lips and just stretched out his hands without saying anything.

Finally, Li Shimin jumped up, grabbed Chu Mo's collar and shouted: "Chu Mo, you want money, but I don't even have a hair now, how can I give it to you? If I and my Tang Dynasty are over, Where else are you going to make money?"

Chu Mo slapped away Li Shimin's seemingly fierce but actually weak arm and said sarcastically:

"The Tang Dynasty belongs to your Li family, not to me, Chu Mo. Besides, don't say you have no money. There are a lot of good things in your internal funds. It doesn't matter if you don't have the money. It's the same with taking out those things."

"Finally, let me reiterate once again, I, Chu Mo, am a businessman. Let alone the end of the Tang Dynasty, there is only one person left in the world. As long as I, Chu Mo, can sell what I have, how many people are left? What does it have to do with me?"

"What's more, you, a majestic emperor of the Tang Dynasty, don't dig up the gold and silver mountains, but just want to take advantage of me, a small businessman. Don't you feel ashamed?"

After hearing Chu Mo's words, Li Shimin was ready to kill him.

But when he heard the other party say that he had gold and silver but didn't know how to take it, Li Shimin's eyes burst out with strong desire. He looked straight at Chu Mo and asked:

"Tell me, where can I get silver? Even if it's a mountain of swords, a sea of ​​fire, or the ends of the earth, I'll go get it for you."

Seeing that he had successfully deceived Li Shimin, Chu Mo's lips curled up slightly, and he took Li Shimin's hand and came to the woodshed in the backyard.

Pointing to the two corpses on the ground, he said: "Last night, Hui Jue, that old bald donkey, and four master-level masters, jointly attacked my wife at Cui's house."

"Fortunately, my master and my sister-in-law were nearby. Not only did the thief Hui Jue not succeed, but they also joined forces to kill two bald donkeys and captured two alive. Only Hui Jue escaped."

After hearing Chu Mo's words, Li Shimin understood instantly, turned around and looked at Chu Mo in disbelief and asked:

"You want me to take action against Buddhism?"
