"General Li, Your Majesty has an edict, please leave today."

After Li Yan received the holy decree, Gonggong Yuan told Li Yan.

However, due to Li Yan's misguess of Li Shimin's deep meaning in his heart, this move became a signal that the emperor was eager to deprive the meritorious man of his military power.

"I'll go."

Out of this mentality, Li Yan immediately hugged his fists and saluted, and then prepared to leave the camp directly.

Cheng Yanjin, who was on the side, saw that Li Yan looked so impatient, and hurriedly spoke:

"Huh? Wait a minute! You are the marshal of the Northern Expedition, and you still have to settle the affairs in the army! ”

"Also, you're going to leave alone? Don't bring any personal guards? ”

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly shouted Li Yan, after all, Li Yan is the marshal of the First Army, and now he is leaving the camp and rushing to Chang'an, how can he be so hasty.

"The big and small matters in the army will be handed over to Uncle Cheng, and besides, the Northern Expedition has ended, and I am no longer a marshal."

"I won't bring the personal guards, Zhang Dazhu and they will also be handed over to Uncle Cheng, anyway, they will stay in Chang'an in the future, and there is no need to command the troops."

Li Yan was very resolute, since he decided to resign directly after arriving in Chang'an and no longer commanding the army, then there was naturally no need to personally defend anything.

He wanted to put an end to all signs of the emperor suspecting that he might rebel, so he simply went to Chang'an alone.

Of course, there is one most important reason why Li Yan does not bring any personal guards.

That is, after he arrived in Chang'an, he was ready not to touch any military again, and in this case, he could not delay the future of Zhang Dazhu and Ge Dahai.

Their contributions in the two battles of defending the city in winter and the Northern Expedition in spring are not small, and Li Yan is ready to ask for a good future for his group of brothers after arriving in Chang'an again.

As for Li Yan himself, he just wants to face Chang'an and bloom in spring......

"Huh?"

When Cheng Yanjin heard this, the whole person was a little dizzy.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't understand Li Yan's "persecution paranoia" at all

In Cheng Yanjin's thinking, Li Yan is Li Shimin's illegitimate son, and now he has made miraculous achievements, which is definitely a promising talent in the future.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't think of Li Yan's idea of "retirement" at all.

"No, then we have to wait until the delivery is over!"

Cheng Yanjin didn't dare to let Li Yan go like this.

You must know that after experiencing this Northern Expedition, Li Yan's prestige in the army has reached its peak.

If Li Yan was allowed to leave so quietly and without even saying hello, Cheng Yanjin doubted whether he could control this scene.

"What's there to deliver? Isn't everything in the army handled by Uncle Cheng? ”

Li Yan was a little puzzled, he really couldn't figure out what matters in the army needed to be settled.

"When the commander leaves the army, he will beat the drum and send it away by the whole army!"

Cheng Yanjin directly exerted his housekeeping skills - full of nonsense, and made up a custom that did not exist in the army at all.

"Okay."

Li Yan saw that Cheng Yanjin was pulling his arm, if he ignored it, Cheng Yanjin didn't seem to let him go, so he could only agree.

……

After more than ten minutes, the drums sounded, and since this battalion was a temporary camp and there was no school ground, the whole army assembled in front of the main battalion.

Li Yan and Cheng Yanjin were waiting in front of the camp gate, and after a while, more than 10,000 soldiers who were still in the camp and had not dispersed to various parts of the grassland were assembled.

The Fengzhou infantry trained by Li Yan and the cavalry of only more than 500 people were impressively listed.

After everyone stood still, they all looked at the lazy but upright figure beside Cheng Yanjin with red eyes.

Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin didn't ink, went straight to the topic, and read out Li Shimin's holy decree.

"Under the door: Marshal Li Yan of the Northern Expedition...... Feng Kaiguo County Hou ...... Titled Dingbei...... Fiefdom Wannian County! ”

Cheng Yanjin's voice quickly spread in this empty grassland, and all the soldiers heard the news that Li Yan had been canonized as the Marquis of Bei.

"Congratulations to the marshal!"

"Congratulations to the marshal!"

“……”

Without a rehearsal, the voices of more than 10,000 people miraculously twisted into one, and everyone congratulated Li Yan from the bottom of their hearts.

The loud voices of the soldiers echoed in the grassland for a long time, and after about a minute, Cheng Yanjin stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued to speak.

"Your Majesty has an edict to let the marshal go to Chang'an immediately to listen to the ......"

Cheng Yanjin continued to tell, which could be regarded as an explanation to the soldiers, informing them of Li Yan's whereabouts, so as not to have doubts.

After Cheng Yanjin's substantive words mixed with nine nonsense sentences, Li Yan asked in a low voice.

"Can I go?"

Li Yan poked Cheng and bit gold.

To be honest, in the face of such a scene, Li Yan always felt a little uncomfortable.

Don't look at his prestige in the army now, but you don't see that those famous generals who have been suspicious of the emperor since ancient times all have such prestige.

It is precisely because their own prestige overshadows the emperor that they will be arranged by the emperor clearly.

Li Yan doesn't want to embark on this tragic road!

Li Yan just wants to run away now, and then live a good life in Chang'an and become the emperor of the liver.

"Yes."

Cheng Yanjin nodded, now that the farewell ceremony is almost underway, it is time to carry out the last ceremony, that is, Li Yan patted his ass and left.

In this way, Li Yan rode his war horse, pulled the reins fiercely, and galloped out in an instant.

"Congratulations to the marshal!"

"Congratulations to the marshal!"

Behind Li Yan, the earth-shattering farewell sound came.

It's a pity that Li Yan was not half happy, but almost planted it, he would rather no one pay attention to him, so that he can perfectly save his life in this feudal dynasty and the society of centralized monarchy.

If it is said that at the beginning of the crossing, the greatest threat to Li Yan's life was the Turks.

So now the biggest threat to Li Yan's life is the emperor Li Shimin......

With apprehensive and complicated feelings, Li Yan embarked on a journey to Chang'an alone.

……

At the same time, in the battalion.

Ge Dahai and Zhang Dazhu's group of the first nine gathered together.

They are a little blindsided now, they didn't expect their boss to leave like this!

I left alone without giving an explanation!

Their boss abandoned them and left alone!

"Dazhu, did the boss tell you anything before leaving?"

"No, didn't the boss explain it to you?"

"Definitely not!"

"It's over, the boss doesn't want us anymore!"

After a few words of exchange between several people, they discovered this sad reality.

Li Yan really abandoned them and ran away alone!

"Huh!"

Behind Zhang Dazhu and the others, Cheng Yanjin sighed and walked over.

The mess left by Li Yan has to be cleaned up by his Lao Cheng, and the psychological construction of these babies has to be carried out by Lao Cheng himself!
