"This wall is very well repaired!"

Yang Guang said as he pinched a handful of soil on the edge of the earthen wall, and then kneaded it into powder.

He found that in addition to the steel plates on both sides of the earthen wall and embedded with bluestone, these 'soils' were very particular, a simple triple clay made of lime, clay and fine sand.

Before and after his succession to the throne, he repeatedly commanded large armies in battles, and was familiar with military affairs, knowing that this could already be regarded as a semi-permanent fortification. It is also conceivable that the time and labor required for this purpose are huge.

"But Virusha, are you a little too nervous?"

You must know that Sima Dejiao and Yu Wenshi, who are now outside his imperial tent, have only let people dig a trench outside and build a strong fence.

"The last general thinks that he is prepared!"

Li Shimin didn't even have the slightest sense of apprehension, and in front of Yang Guang, he didn't have a look of sincere fear: "Your Majesty, the art of war is cloudy, and those who were good at fighting in the past should be invincible first, and then wait for the enemy to be victorious." You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. The minister deeply respects this sentence!"

The meaning of this phrase is that those who were previously good at fighting with soldiers, always first create their own invincible conditions and wait for an opportunity to defeat the enemy. So that they are not defeated, and the initiative is in their own hands.

"First of all, it is invincible, and then the enemy can be victorious?

The look in Yang Guang's eyes was already satisfied: "But you let your subordinates repair so many things, so you don't worry about your subordinates resentment?"

"It's inevitable!"

Li Shimin's expression was calm: "But when the last general wants to come, when he is facing the enemy, as long as these things can come in handy, they will definitely be grateful to me." And in the next few days, the last general will also let them. ”

"There is some truth to it, but it is too much to take for granted. ”

Yang Guangwan smiled, and his tone was disapproving: "It's good if there are such thieves who can make you feel like a great enemy, but if not?"

He then looked at the several Zhuguo generals present: "What do you think?"

"Although there is a suspicion of making a big fuss, the so-called Zhuge is only cautious in his life, and there is no harm in this evil spirit. ”

Lai Hu'er first said with a smile: "If Li Shangyi can put this caution on the battlefield, then the minister thinks that this kid can already be a good general of the country!"

At this time, Li Yuan was standing beside him, was it difficult to say bad things about his son in front of this person?

And this Tang Guogong's appointment as the secretary of Huaiyuan Town is almost a certainty, there is no need, he never wants to offend.

"The general's words are good, and the minister also thinks so. ”

Xue Shixiong also stroked his long beard and said: "The ministers look at their array, and they also get the law." ”

"It can be seen that Your Majesty has the wisdom to know people!"

Yu Wenshu smiled and bowed his hand, with admiration: "Among the young people of my Great Sui, there is no shortage of talents, among them, there are dozens of people with superior military strategy and outstanding martial arts. Only this conscientious earnestness, among the older generation, there are not many people who can compare with it, Your Majesty, you must not fail to check!"

"The words of Botong (Yuwen Shuzi) are deeply in line with my opinion!"

Yang Guang couldn't help laughing, and then instructed a eunuch beside him: "Take 50,000 pieces of silver from the inner treasury, and reward the Great Cause Hall and the Iron Cavalry Capital." Remember Li Erlang, never let the soldiers work hard, but they got nothing. ”

At this moment, the soldiers of the Great Cause Hall who were fortunate enough to hear this were suddenly overjoyed.

And when the Son of Heaven led his ministers to leave, Xue Shixiong stayed alone, and deliberately knocked Li Shimin's shoulder with a horsewhip: "Li family boy, you're invincible first, so that the enemy can be defeated." You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy', which also won my heart. I hope you can always practice it in the future and never forget your original intention. If this can be the case, there will be a place for you in the forest of famous generals of the Great Sui in the future!"

※ ※ ※ ※

When the reward of the Son of Heaven was given, the whole camp thundered with joy.

Fifty thousand is not much, except for the part deducted by a few eunuchs, each person is divided equally, and it is only ten taels of silver. But now in Luoyang City, a stone of rice is only about 300 Wen, which is already a huge amount of money for the soldiers below.

By the end of the day (11 o'clock in the morning), the last bit of resentment of the Daye Hall and the Iron Cavalry had disappeared without a trace.

The Son of Heaven has ordered that the Xiaoguo army and some of the forbidden troops gathered here need to participate in this year's winter hunting. Within a few days of borrowing, they would march to the perimeter of the Imperial Garden, and then, in a state of encirclement, march into the depths of the Imperial Garden, driving all their prey to the center of the Imperial Garden.

It is said that this idea came from a guy named Yun Dingxing, who said that he wanted to hunt instead of training and drill the military formations of various units. Then the Son of Heaven thought so, and rarely let go of his interest in hunting.

However, some people say that it was actually Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, who came up with this bad idea for His Majesty.

Anyway, when the news came out, the more than 100,000 forbidden troops who thought they could easily spend a few days here were all complaining.

But there are exceptions, such as the elite of the 3,000 forbidden army and the left and right Yiwei in front of the Gongwei Emperor, and then the Daye Hall and the Iron Cavalry Capital to which Li Shimin belongs, all of which do not need to participate.

They will stay here for three days, and then they will set off for the depths of the Imperial Garden, escorting His Majesty and the noble ministers to participate in the final hunt.

This means that all the subordinates of the Great Cause Hall and the Iron Cavalry not only received a large amount of silver from His Majesty, but also could rest and recuperate for three days here.

And the root cause is precisely because of the saintly favor and importance of the Son of Heaven to their top bosses, so that the soldiers of the second department can succeed in this good errand.

But Li Shimin felt that he was too happy to have these soldiers under his command. Judging from the information he had, His Royal Highness the King of Qi still had no intention of stopping.

This means that danger can come at any time. Hopefully, in the next few days, they won't cry—

But just when Li Shimin was ready to continue to devote his time and energy to the practice of the 'Qiankun Thunder Spear' and strengthen his control over the 'Heavenly Thunder Shadow'. An incident that happened at noon that day made him want to cry without tears.

Ashina Minghui suddenly came to his tent with a large number of attendants, and brought a table of sumptuous food.

"Princess Minghui, what are you doing here?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a while, looking at the food boxes that were opened one by one in front of him. The food inside is steaming hot and fragrant. Not only are they rare mountain and sea delicacies, but the style is also extremely exquisite.

But the question is, why did this Minghui princess suddenly get up and send him these things, could it be to thank him for saving his life last time?

"Naturally, I came to thank General Lee. ”

Princess Minghui's smile was bright and bright: "The grace of saving lives, toothless and unforgettable, some wine and food, talk about respect." ”

"I see!"

Li Shimin looked relieved, he guessed the same thing just now.

"Actually, Her Royal Highness really doesn't need to be so polite, the incident a few days ago is the duty of the last general. In fact, it is a dereliction of duty for the last general to put Her Royal Highness in danger of putting Her Royal Highness in danger. And after that, Your Majesty has rewarded me with many things. ”

"Where to start with the theory of dereliction of duty? I know in my heart the cause and effect of this incident that it was my Ashina Minghui who acted wisely and acted as a result, which caused the general to be affected. ”

Princess Minghui shook her head slightly, her eyes apologetically: "And the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and Ashina Minghui is Ashina Minghui, how can the meaning be the same?

"The princess has a heart! ”

Li Shimin laughed, thinking that instead of continuing to be so polite and entangled, it was better to eat this thank-you gift as soon as possible, and let the princess leave early, so that the kindness of the family could not be wasted.

So he picked up the chopsticks with a golden knife and sandwiched a chopstick in a bowl of roasted roe deer meat, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed: "It tastes good! It seems that the princess has a good cook."

In fact, the taste is average, just because he has been in the army for more than ten days, every day is old noodles steamed buns with dried meat, the taste is bland, no matter what you eat at this time, you will feel that the taste is good.

Moreover, this time must also be boasted.

"Really?"

Princess Minghui's expression was overjoyed: "This is not the cook's handiwork, I made it myself!"

"Princess, did you make it yourself?"

Li Shimin was really surprised this time.

The main thing is this Turkic princess, who was born in the steppe Khan Court, and the food there is mostly barbecued meat and mare's milk. Princess Minghui can have such craftsmanship, it is really good.

"When my mother married into the Turks, she brought several chefs, and I learned from them. ”

Princess Minghui smiled sweetly: "If General Li likes it, I will make it for you in the future." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, thinking to himself, does this princess still plan to prepare a banquet for him?

Zhang Yurou, who was sitting next to her, also frowned slightly, looking at the beautiful girl in front of her with a little doubt and vigilance, wearing a white fox fur, a bright and beautiful face, and a youthful and beautiful atmosphere.

What does this woman want to do when she is dressed so delicately today?

remembers that when her father married a concubine, when she wanted to seduce a man, she would dress herself up in a flashy way.

At this time, Ashina Minghui looked at Li Shimin with expectation: "Can I call you Vilusha, or Brother Erlang?" I feel that General Li is so unfamiliar with this call. Speaking of which, Brother Virusha is a year older than me!"

"But you can—"

Li Shimin was speechless for a while, thinking that you are called that, and asked me if I could do it.

After he finished speaking, he found that Ashina Minghui was already very close to him, and a trace of girlish body fragrance penetrated into the tip of his nose, making him feel emotional.

At this moment, he felt Zhang Yurou's cold gaze like a divine sword.

Li Shimin thought to himself that if his sight could kill people, then he would have been divided into dozens of pieces by now.

And outside his tent, Yang Ying's crisp angry scolding also sounded: "Ashina Minghui, you vixen, get out of here!"
