"Good!"

Yang Guang praised: "Just use the policy of Tang Guogong, and the rest of the vacancies can be temporarily transferred from the northern border army." ”

Seeing that Duan Wenzhen and Pei Ju had no objections, Yang Guang couldn't help but glance at Li Yuan with appreciation: "Shude, you are very good, and you deserve to be the minister of the humerus that I value." This time it was a loss, otherwise this matter would really give me a headache for a long time. ”

Li Yuan was overjoyed, and his face was flushed: "This is a matter within the minister's duty, the minister is grateful to the former emperor and the former queen, and has been valued by His Majesty, he has served in several states to assassinate the history, but he has not made much achievements, he is ashamed of Long En, he is concerned all day long, he only hates his own limited ability, and his heart cannot repay His Majesty in case!"

"This is too much to say, I know that you have served as the assassin of the three states, and you have served two county guards, and you have made great achievements. ”

Yang Guang's expression became more and more satisfied: "Since you proposed this matter of redeeming and transforming the ink armor, you will lead the guard captain Shaoqing to sit in the Eastern Capital and arrange this matter for me." Later, I will let the Chinese scholar give you the will. After the winter, if the ink armor of the various parts cannot be changed as scheduled, I will only ask! But if it can be completed as scheduled, then after I return victoriously, I will be rewarded for my merits!"

Li Yuan's expression was solemn, and he bowed: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Yang Guang laughed loudly, and then stood up again, with a cold expression: "I drove the imperial expedition in person and went to Liaohe to supervise the war, and the Qing Qing no longer needs to persuade him. I have made up my mind to go north to Zhuo County through the Yongji Canal in ten days! I have summoned you here today only to stay in charge of the prison country and the eastern capital of Daxing. ”

※ ※ ※ ※

The candidate for the prison country, in fact, there is no need to discuss, Queen Xiao is the most suitable and the only candidate. The imperial capital Daxing and the eastern capital Luoyang were left behind, and only the three sons left by Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande, were the most in line with Yang Guang's wishes.

Yang Zhao is the eldest son of Yang Guang, powerful and powerful, able to draw a strong bow, thrifty and simple, but also humble by nature, benevolent and virtuous, and deeply loved by Yang Guang. It's a pity that he died young, and died in Daxing City at the age of twenty-two.

However, the three imperial grandsons left behind are all bright, sensitive, and studious.

Among them, the emperor's eldest grandson, Yang Qi, is the most loved by Yang Guang, and he has to take it with him at all times, in person*. Every time he goes on a patrol, Yang Qi needs to accompany him

Therefore, this expedition to Liao will be carried out by Yang Tong, the second grandson of the emperor, who will sit in the eastern capital, and Yang Yu, the third son of the German prince Yang Zhao, will remain behind for Daxing.

There is nothing to argue about, what the ministers really want to discuss is the ministers who stay behind to assist.

The two princes are still in the age of the general horn, and there are no more things, and the Great Sui naturally cannot rely on the two children to deal with national affairs. As for Empress Xiao, although she was born in the Xiao family of Lanling, she is a woman and child after all, and she is short-sighted, which makes it difficult to reassure the ministers of the court. Therefore, the selection of ministers who stayed behind to assist Empress Xiao and the emperor and grandson of the state is very important.

In the end, Yu Shiji, the servant of the internal history, was selected, and Su Wei stayed in the eastern capital as an auxiliary minister, and Qu Tutong of Jin was appointed as the general of Zuo Xiaowei, helping the acting king Yang Yu to sit in the imperial capital.

After everything was agreed and Yang Guang moved, Duan Wenzhen walked like a meteor and went straight to the palace gate. Since Yang Guang issued the edict of the Liao expedition before the year, the military department is now the most onerous of the six departments of the imperial court.

And Duan Wenzhen, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, is also riddled with everything.

However, when this person passed by Li Yuan's side, he deliberately stopped and glanced at Li Yuan: "The strategy that Li Gong built today, I didn't think of it, and it is indeed a good policy! I think that with Li Gong's ability, I will not disappoint Your Majesty's high hopes!"

"Do your best!"

Li Yuan was flattered, and hurriedly bowed to Duan Wenzhen. But this one has long been with the wind and far away.

And just as Li Yuan got up, the imperial historian Pei Yun had also walked to his side. This person stroked his long beard, his eyes swept up and down Li Yuan like an eagle, and said meaningfully: "Li Gong, I heard that a month ago, Li Gong presented two beauties to His Majesty, and now they are both deeply favored by His Majesty?"

"Pei Gong?"

Li Yuan was stunned, couldn't help but look stunned, and looked at Pei Yun.

Offering beautiful women, it is true. But he didn't know what the purpose of this imperial historian was when he said these words to him.

"I didn't mean anything else! I just didn't expect that the dignified Tang Guogong, the master of the martial arts Li clan of the Eight Pillars Country, actually became a flattering and fortunate person. ”

Pei Yun laughed, and just as Li Yuan's anger was rising, this one seemed to be smiling, and put his hands behind his back: "In addition, a certain subordinate has recently heard about another strange thing. Nowadays, there are proverbs circulating among the people, which are widely sung by children in the east and west. One of them says that it is 'eighteen sons, sitting in the world'... I don't know about this, have Tang Guogong ever heard of it?"

Li Yuan was puzzled at first, but after a while, his body was shocked, and his eyes were shocked. The originally groveling back also instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and his whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

"I think these eighteen sons together, isn't it just a Li character? Li Gong, Li Gong, please do it yourself!"

When this sentence was finished, Pei Yun smiled leisurely again, strode away, and strode away. Li Yuan was left alone, like an ice sculpture of wood.

In the middle of the night, a steel ink armor covered with blue magic patterns stood in the center of Li Shimin's tent.

Li Shimin stood in front of the ink armor, carefully embedding a part less than the size of a finger, like a gear, into the armor plate on the abdomen of the ink armor.

When the card slot docked, the body of this ink armor suddenly made a 'click' sound, and all the parts, all the gears, began to run rapidly, smooth and rhythmic. Those blue magic patterns also emitted bursts of fluorescence.

Li Shimin couldn't help but take a few steps back, and his eyes looked up and down excitedly at this armor full of strange beauty.

It had been five days since the night they were attacked on the riverside.

And the 'Demon War' armor in front of him now originated from the remains of the ink armor left behind by his two opponents that day.

After five days, Li Shimin finally combined the two armors into one and repaired a complete 'Demon War'.

In fact, this is his biggest gain in the two battles in Linfen County.

It is necessary to know that the price of a sergeant-level armor is usually about 1,000 yuan, and that of a captain-level armor is 3,000 yuan.

And the next general level is at least 10,000. However, this is just the usual price of ink armor, like 'Bull Demon', a general-level battle armor with special combat skills will cost at least 40,000 or more.

In the Three Kingdoms era, the 'magic war' was famous, powerful, but inexpensive. Therefore, this armor, in the Luoyang black market, can only be sold for 25,000 pieces at most.

But this price is even higher than the combined price of the dozens of sergeant-level armors they captured.

"Second brother, is this ink armor repaired?"

Li Xuanba stood behind Li Shimin and watched, his eyes were full of curiosity.

"Hmmm! ”

Li Shimin suppressed his joy and concentrated: "However, there are a few key parts in it that are not in good condition, and after returning to Luoyang, I will get some spare parts to replace in the black market." This is not easy to do, although this magic armor has been built more than 400 pieces, but after all, it is something from hundreds of years ago, and the spare parts may not be able to be matched. ”

I really have no choice but to make it by myself, or find those skilled craftsmen to help.

The problem is that he usually has to practice martial arts and doesn't have much time. And the clever craftsmen often charge extremely high fees.

"It's just a small thing, right? A few parts, it doesn't cost much. ”

Li Xuanba was very envious, and sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect that my brother's craftsmanship has reached this point, and he can already repair general-level ink armor." ”

If this demon armor is sold, it will be ten more equipped iron horses. Of course, his elder brother can also be used to entrap those generals and powerhouses and work for them.

Li Xuanba thought to himself that since his brother had such a ability, he would only need to get some ink armor to repair it in the future, and he would be able to make hundreds of millions of dollars. It's not possible that within a year or two, you will be able to gather two or three hundred iron horses and ride them out, and they will be invincible on the battlefield.

This made him wonder, whether he wanted to learn from his brother and see if he had any talent in this area.

"How can it be so easy to repair general-level ink armor?"

Li Shimin knew Li Xuanba's careful thoughts, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "My armor-making technique is only six grades at most. This time it was good luck, the damage parts of the two armors were different, just matched together, and the power furnace of the core was not too damaged. ”

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to restore this 'Demon War' on his own in such a short period of time.

Li Xuanba pouted, he had never eaten pork, had he never seen a pig walking?

In the past few days, he has watched Li Shimin with his own eyes, and without too many tools to rely on, he has repaired this armor little by little. Not only is the technique extremely skillful, but the whole process is also extremely smooth.

His second brother seems to be completely aware of the structure of the 'magic war', without any pause or hesitation.

This is not something that ordinary armor makers can do.

And then Li Xuanba saw Li Shimin press on the chest of the 'Demon War' armor, and the latter suddenly disintegrated, turning into pieces of cold armor and surging onto Li Shimin's body. In just a few moments, the reorganization was complete.

Li Shimin manipulated this armor and walked outside the tent. I made a few poses in a row, and then I praised softly: "This armor is really good!"

His speed is comparable to that of his Hundred Armor, and his strength is one and a half times that of the Hundred Armor.

In the Three Kingdoms era, this armor was all the rage, and there was some truth to it. With a cost of about 35,000 yuan, with such performance, the creator of this armor does have a unique material.

But what he cares about most is not this.

"Xuanba, pay attention to me!"

Then Li Shimin suddenly drew his knife and slashed forward. In an instant, a faint white sword qi rushed out from above his blade, causing dust to fly in front of him.

Li Xuanba was reminded by Li Shimin, and when he looked carefully at the side, he found that the moment his second brother performed this combat skill, the arm of the 'Demon Battle' armor really stiffened for a moment.

If this is an opponent whose strength is below Li Shimin, it will be able to destroy and be invincible. However, if the enemy's strength is equal to your own, it will become a fatal flaw.
