Chapter 258: A Bunch of Fools
I heard that the eldest grandson Wuji said Li Chengqian's name.
Li Shimin was surprised.
What's going on?
It's just that you don't let yourself be recruited.
Why did he move Li Chengqian out?
Li Shimin raised his eyes, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji for a long time, and lightly spit out two words: "Reason." ”
saw Li Shimin's somewhat gloomy eyes.
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "First, the emperor's eldest son went on the expedition on behalf of his father, which is justified. ”
"Second, the martial arts of King Qin are known to the world, and the battle of the source city of the Tuyuhun River is the best proof of this."
"If he can go to the battlefield, he will definitely be able to revive the low morale of the front-line soldiers."
"Third, King Qin's resourcefulness should not be underestimated, and he has the demeanor of His Majesty when he was young, and he is bound to lead the soldiers to win this battle."
"If Your Majesty is still not at ease, you can send a veteran from the court to assist and supervise you."
I heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed.
If he can't hear the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji anymore.
Then he'd be a fool.
To put it bluntly, this matter has nothing to do with Li Chengqian.
Even the eldest grandson Wuji didn't want to let him go, but he was afraid of losing face, so he made these words.
The meaning is nothing more than asking Li Shimin to choose a strong general from the court and go instead of him.
Li Shimin couldn't help but straighten his waist: "What Aiqing said is indeed reasonable. ”
"Since this is the case, the decree was issued to order the king of Qin to be the general manager of the marching army, with full authority to deploy everything on the front line."
After the words fell, he looked at Li Tao in the crowd again: "Mao Gong, I will work hard for you this time, how about you as the deputy chief to assist King Qin?" ”
"Your Majesty's order, the minister will naturally obey it."
Li Tao pursed his lips, then looked up at Li Shimin, and said bluntly: "If in wartime, the minister thinks that His Highness's opinion is inappropriate, what should he say?" ”
"If he is greedy for merit, Mao Gong can speak out."
"If he disagrees with him, he needs to consider it carefully, and if he still insists on his own opinion, he can also flatly refuse."
Li Shimin's words were equivalent to giving Li Tao a Shangfang sword.
And also established his mastermind.
Although he is called an assistant, he is actually the main general.
He has the right to stop Li Chengqian's reckless behavior of being greedy for merit.
That being the case, what else can Li Tao say?
He immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "The minister will not fail in his mission." ”
……
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, at the beginning of July.
Li Tao personally led the Tang Shenwu army with 8,000 soldiers and horses, and went to Mobei by water.
And Li Chengqian also received news from Chang'an Kuaima.
He really didn't expect that his old man would push himself to the battlefield again.
What's the matter?
How come every war has its own?
But Li Chengqian couldn't shirk it.
After all, if you investigate it, the initiator of this matter is himself.
Therefore, he immediately agreed, and only waited for Li Tao to arrive, although Li Tao went to the front line together.
But the day before Li Tao was about to arrive, something happened suddenly.
And this change is that Xi Jun appeared in the most unlikely place.
Just as Li Chengqian was directing the people to harvest the ripe crops, he was preparing for the arrival of the teacher.
Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong suddenly hurried to his courtyard to report.
"Your Highness, there is an enemy army in the north, and it is less than ten miles away from us!"
"What?"
Hearing this, even Li Chengqian's face changed.
He asked directly, "How many people are there on the other side?" ”
"Five thousand, and all cavalry."
Cheng Huailiang looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "It seems that it should be those people who came to find trouble before." ”
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.
Zhao Youlin is really haunted......
The situation is not the same as it was then.
At that time, the reason why Li Chengqian dared to single-handedly call the 5,000 Xi army.
That's because he was sure that Zhao Youlin didn't dare to do anything to himself, and the Xi people didn't dare to start a war with Datang rashly.
But now, the Tang Dynasty and the Xi people have started a war.
This time they came, and they came to ask for their own lives.
Now, Li Chengqian only has 1,000 people by his side, and he has 1,000 soldiers in the Qianzi battalion.
With these two thousand soldiers and horses, it is purely looking for death.
Cheng Huailiang hurriedly said, "Your Highness, what should we do now?" Ten miles is a short distance for a cavalry, but it's a blink of an eye, so you'll have to make an idea early. ”
"What else can be done?"
"You lead the 800 Qianzi battalion to stay here and harvest as much as possible with the people, and the crops that are already ripe are harvested."
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said, "The rest of the people will come with me." ”
When the words fell, his heart suddenly moved.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head to look at the carefree who was stunned on the side, and said, "Brother Chong, you must personally escort her to the Yellow River crossing." ”
"What about you?"
Without waiting for the eldest grandson to speak, such a sentence came out without worry.
"Zhao Youlin's goal is me."
"As long as I'm gone, his attention will be on me."
Li Chengqian said: "The matter of the farm is far more important than my life. ”
The implication is that he wants to lead people away from the enemy.
Hearing this, carefree eyes suddenly turned red: "No, I want to follow you." ”
Her words really moved Li Chengqian a little.
But now is not the time to be on the move.
Li Chengqian said directly: "The enemy army is already close at hand, where will I have time to take care of you in the event of a battle?" ”
"I can take care of myself."
Worry-free, that's quite stubborn.
Seeing her appearance, Li Chengqian bit his lip, and then looked at Cheng Huailiang: "What are you waiting for, why don't you take her away quickly?" ”
Staying by himself, Li Chengqian was not at ease.
But Li Chengqian stayed, how could she rest assured?
She stepped forward and grabbed Li Chengqian's clothes, and said urgently: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay......"
But the eldest grandson Chong had already stepped forward.
He would never say no to Li Chengqian's orders.
It was the same at the moment, he grabbed Carefree's arm, and then pulled her and walked out.
Seeing the eldest grandson Chong dragging Wuwu's arm and running towards the ferry, but Wuwu kept looking at his side with tears in his eyes, Li Chengqian's heart was also very uncomfortable.
He turned to Cheng Huailiang and said, "Huailiang, do as I tell you." ”
"Your Highness, ...... you"
Cheng Huailiang really didn't worry about Li Chengqian.
Especially at such a moment, how could he let Li Chengqian lead away the enemy army.
"I'm fine."
"Zhao Youlin, I haven't taken him in my eyes yet."
Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "Do as I tell you." ”
After Cheng Huailiang leaves.
Li Chengqian grabbed the silver spear standing in the corner of the wall and went to the stable to pull out his snow-white war horse.
Then the horses galloped out of the farm, and when they reached the place where the Qianzi camp was formed.
Li Chengqian shouted loudly: "I only need 200 people, and I hope that the dead will go with me." ”
After saying that, he didn't care how many people corresponded, and rode in the direction of the smoke and dust.
Soon after he ran out of the farm, more than 200 soldiers from the Qianzi battalion also followed him.
Li Chengqian glanced back, his eyes bent into crescent moons.
"Zhente Niang is a bunch of fools......"
