Chapter 917: Park Residence
Li Jiancheng, who returned to Shuofang on the expedition, won the battle, and in front of the soldiers, he had already said that he would reward them.
"Congratulations to the eldest brother for winning another force for Tang Guohao."
Li Yuanji was suffocated in Shuofang, but he couldn't give this Li Jiancheng to go together, and he was really depressed during this time.
"For the elder brother, I know that the third brother has the intention of expanding the territory, don't worry, there is an opportunity."
"Big brother, there is no danger in this battle."
"That Xie Tianbao doesn't know the formation at all, and he thinks it's okay to take him because he is familiar with the terrain." Li Jiancheng sighed.
"Big brother, can you elaborate?" Li Yuanji came to be interested.
"Longxi is the root of the Li family, that Xie Tianbao is actually a ringing horse with 30,000 people, I took 100,000 soldiers and horses to go over and directly ambush them according to the news of their travel in advance, and solved it after killing it in one afternoon, there is no suspense."
"Haha, big brother is mighty."
"What's the catch?"
Li Yuanji is still very interested in the spoils of war, and what is the reason for fighting is the territory, and the other is not the wealth in the territory.
"Xie Tianbao, although it is not a climate, but there is really a lot of wealth looted in a few years, and my father will definitely be happy when I return to Chang'an this time."
Not many people paid attention to what happened in the Northwest Region, and that Xie Tianbao would still be able to make Xiaoxiao rampant if it weren't for the king of the backer to leave.
To say that most of Xie Tianbao's wealth is plundered by barbarians, where there is a backer king stationed, it will not allow horse bandits to run rampant.
The reason why Li Jiancheng was able to win the battle so easily was thanks to the Li clan, their Li family had a lot of power in Longxi, and it was difficult to win if they were crushed by numbers.
The 100,000 soldiers and horses were all transferred from Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng had a plan in his heart, and I have to say that don't look at his second brother, who looks like a scholar and a weak scholar, the strength of the trained soldiers and horses is really good.
He didn't know that this was just a preliminary training, most of the training was learned from the vanguards, and what physical fitness to start with was not strengthened, but he had to learn to routinely prohibit it first.
Rules are rules, let you take a step, you must take a step, even if there is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, and a cliff in front of you, you must move forward without hesitation.
Li Jiancheng never paid attention to this aspect of things, because many times the soldiers would not be involved in these issues at all.
But that's all on the surface, some people are enlisted in the army in order to make a name for themselves and fight for a future.
Some people are forced to be helpless, not everyone is fearless on the battlefield, but they can't bear the end of their disobedience, so they can only rush hard, which is forced to be very passive.
The first thing these recruits trained by Li Shimin learned was that those who were fully prepared in the sense of routine prohibition would be calmer and more comfortable in cooperating with the command's orders.
Li Jiancheng will not take into account the relationship between father and son like Li Yuan when considering things, and now he has to guard against the matter of the throne.
Li Shimin was able to train such a high-quality soldier in the shortest possible time, and if he was given time, I was afraid that the soldiers' combat effectiveness would make them fearful.
Li Jiancheng's purpose is obviously to be a good prince, how can he let competitors rob him of the world that will inherit Li Yuan in the future.
Li Jiancheng returned to Chang'an with his soldiers and horses, pacified the two forces in a row, and now the situation in the northwest is good and has been stabilized, which is a great merit.
The people, no matter how much power you occupy, they know that the Li family has won the battle, which means that the security in this country has increased a few points.
Li Jiancheng entered the city in a high-profile manner, just to let the people in the city take a look at the appearance of his Li family's soldiers, if it wasn't for Li Yuan's benefit, Li Jiancheng would not have done this.
"Father, emperor and son live up to their mission."
"Okay, this good expedition has been hard, go back and rest first and tomorrow the court will be rewarded for meritorious deeds."
Li Jianchengdu's credit doesn't matter in Gaodu, at most, it is a reward for money, after all, it is a person who wants to inherit the country, mainly to make a name for himself, and prestige is very important.
After returning to the mansion, Li Jiancheng immediately asked someone to inquire about Li Shimin's affairs, and learned that he had returned to Taiyuan Mansion and wanted to spy on the matter, so he had to reconsider.
He thought about finding an opportunity for his father to summon his second brother back, and let him outside, who knows how far he would develop.
Li Jiancheng knows Li Shimin too well, as long as he is given a chance, he will definitely be able to surprise people, but unfortunately he doesn't want such a surprise.
Li Shimin didn't know that he was being remembered by his eldest brother when he was far away in Taiyuan Mansion, and he was doing the caravan wholeheartedly.
Over the course of several months, the operator team had accumulated several times his net worth, not only with people but also with a large number of wagons.
In his calculations, all the horses used in the carriage were used to supplement the cavalry, and he was able to form a cavalry force of five thousand men.
But after all, there is still a difference with a war horse, but it is no problem to bluff people.
There is no limit to the purchase of timber in Youzhou, and after a period of trading, Li Shimin feels that things are definitely not simple.
So he sent a large number of spies to investigate, and he really found something, and learned that the timber purchase in Youzhou was said to be used to build a park, but in fact, it was all for the shipyard in the south to stock up on materials.
Youzhou is about to vigorously develop ships.
It's good to keep the twenty dockyards built in the south hidden for so long, but what if you know about it.
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile, he was short of money, and the timber business still had to continue, and he couldn't get involved in the shipping matter at all.
With his current funds, it is enough to build a force of 200,000 soldiers.
The news of Li Jiancheng's return to Chang'an was quickly sent to Haoyuan Mansion, and Li Shimin knew that time was running out for him.
His eldest brother will definitely go toe-to-toe with him when he returns to Chang'an, and he really can't compete with him if he doesn't have some hole cards.
In the following time, Li Shimin began to recruit soldiers, and reduced the number of caravans, all of which became his soldiers and horses.
The eldest grandson Wuji in Jiangling also had results, but only 50,000 people were recruited, after all, it was not a place under his own management, and it was not easy to do this.
Li De in Youzhou is the mentality of watching the whole play, and he knows what the Li brothers are doing when they return to Chang'an and what they do in Taiyuan.
Li Shimin gradually transformed the caravan into his soldiers and horses, and now there is a clear contrast in the strength of the two brothers.
Li Jiancheng has at most 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and Li Shimin is more than twice as many as him, so let's see when the two brothers will tear their faces.
Li De will not get involved, he has his own things to do, the construction speed of the park in Youzhou is very fast, and eighty percent of it has been completed after the investment of manpower and materials.
Especially in the high-end residential area next to the park, the businessman's brain is too bright for Li De to admire.
After Li De saw it, after discussion, he directly negotiated with the businessman to buy the high-end residence from the city guard, and directly bought the entire residential area.
