Chapter 584: Raising the Army Again
Seeing this, Xiao Han smiled: "Second brother, isn't it just Liu Heimin? Haha, let's play with him slowly! Look at the direction he goes, it should be Turkic! Well, let's not be in a hurry, let's see what he wants to do, how about it? Hehe, we are still the happiest with good wine and good food!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin's face looked a little better, and he smiled: "It's still your kid who is the most refreshing, okay, tomorrow's things will be worrying tomorrow, let's be a brother to wine today, what is life? Haha, okay, tonight's moonlight must be good, Taiping, you little girls who have to work hard again, let's drink on the bank of the river at night!"
"It's a pity, but let our soldiers bury the corpses of the Handong Army, otherwise, we won't have any taste for drinking! They are so pitiful, they are just sacrifices, alas! You go and dispose of these corpses quickly, and bury them collectively, alas, war, ridiculous war!" Princess Taiping sighed.
Xiao Han sighed and smiled: "Let's go upstream, there will be no corpses there!Haha, let's go see General Wei Chigong's masterpiece!"
"Okay, haha! It's still the most refreshing brother!Well, tomorrow we will go back to the court, haha! Congratulations to the second brother!" It was only then that Princess Taiping was finally happy.
However, this dinner is destined to be bad, and people are not happy one by one!
Even Li Shimin, the king of Qin who won the battle, because of Liu Heimin's escape, he let go of the leader of the trouble, and this will undoubtedly let the tiger return to the mountain! Besides, the direction in which this Liu Heimin went was the Turks, and if the Turks turned their eyes and joined forces with them, the Tang Dynasty would be in constant trouble! Even if the Turks were not involved in the war, as long as they had their support, it would be reasonable for Liu Heimin to make a comeback!
Therefore, he sighed all the time, and his subordinates were naturally not happy one by one, and the atmosphere of the banquet was naturally not happy!
Although Xiao Han and Princess Taiping smiled and persuaded them to drink from time to time, it was to no avail!
Only Li Shentong looked refreshed, at least, the credit of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was greatly discounted, and he would not directly confront the crown prince Li Jiancheng, which was the fortunate thing of the Tang Dynasty! He even felt that this matter was originally the intention of Xiao Han and Princess Taiping, otherwise, with the ability of these two boys, wouldn't it be easy to destroy Liu Heimin? In fact, since Liu Heimin raised his army, they have been evading!
This made him a little unhappy, could it be that there was any mystery in it?
The next day, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, led a large army to return triumphantly, and Li Shentong returned to Chang'an!
Xiao Han and Princess Taiping used the excuse that they were going to the border to investigate, and hid in the prairie again, it seems that the matter of Chang'an really has nothing to do with them!
The Turks naturally welcomed them, but did not let them meet with Liu Heimin as they requested, only saying that although the boy had fled into the steppe, his trace was nowhere to be found, and he did not seem to know where to hide.
Xiao Han and Princess Taiping didn't mind, and then, after playing for a while, they went back to Chang'an!
The situation in Chang'an was not as tense as they imagined, the relationship between the crown prince and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, seemed to have improved, but Li Yuanji looked indifferent, as if both sides were waiting, and there was no sense of imminence.
When Princess Taiping saw it, she was happy and smiled: "It's still good in Chang'an, although the prairie is wonderful, it's a pity that the products are too monotonous, we don't like it very much! Hehe, tonight we are the east, please Your Majesty drink!"
"Well, this is a good idea, don't forget to Feng Lao'er, although that old boy is stingy, but we are not short of money, haha, cheap him! The prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Qi are also called, and there are a few old princes!" Xiao Han had already begun to command.
Nangong Yue smiled: "I know, let's arrange it right away!Sister Mei'er, Sister Ruoxi, Sister Xue'er, you guys are also busy, haha, I invited Princess Qin too, and the dishes made by Sister Meng and Sister Yue are also the best!" After speaking, he personally arranged it.
When Tang Emperor Li Yuan came, the banquet happened to be on the table, and he smiled: "Haha, I am still the most blessed, just came, you are ready to eat and drink, Ning'er, pour wine with me! Hehe, you boys are also here, there are still a lot of people! Fortunately, we are Ning'er and Han'er are generous, otherwise, you come to eat every day, I have opinions!"
"Hehe, the emperor is laughing! Your Majesty, this is the way of business, several princes come every day, we welcome it very much! The emperor comes every day, better, then, those who want to meet the emperor will have a chance! In this way, our restaurant business is very good! Hehe, we are just a dish and a tael of gold, and they are also correct, so we also want to thank Your Majesty and a few princes, haha, and Lord Feng!" Xiao Han smiled proudly.
"Ahh
Except for Li Shimin, the king of Qin, everyone felt that Xiao Han's point of view was too fresh, and they all laughed, and all of them were in a very good mood!
Feng Deyi smiled: "In this way, we should share dividends! Haha, I don't know how much Her Royal Highness the princess will give us a year?"
"Whatever, hehe, let's take what we need! Don't worry, Lord Feng, we will definitely have a red envelope to give during the New Year's holidays! Your Majesty, uncle, we are not a bribe! We are giving our living signboard Lord Feng a little consolation prize, haha!" Princess Taiping smiled proudly.
Li Yuan listened comfortably and smiled: "Okay, I know, who cares about this kind of trivial matter? Haha, don't you ask him to do anything? Haha, don't forget a few old princes, and a few of your royal brothers!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, hehe, we will also send you some gadgets at any time!Haha, it's good if Uncle doesn't dislike it!" Princess Taiping became happier the more she spoke.
Then they entered their toasting mode, and after a few rounds, people's chattering interest became higher and higher, and their voices became louder one by one, and they had no sense of proportion in speaking.
The first to speak was Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and I saw him laugh and said, "Han'er, Ning'er, how are you going back to the Turks this time? Is there any news of Liu Heimin's kid?"
"Hehe, second brother, are you embarrassed to ask Han'er and Ning'er about this? If you hadn't fought well, that kid would have been slaughtered a long time ago! But, then again, what did that kid do when he hid in the Turks?" Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, stimulated Li Shimin first, but he stopped immediately, and immediately changed the topic.
It seems that he has also learned wisely, and knows that if the stimulation is excessive, everyone will be unhappy, and he also showed a sinister smile, as if he had deliberately buried a nail!
Princess Taiping was not happy when she heard it, but she also smiled: "The third brother likes which pot not to open and which pot, hehe, you were not here at that time, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, who still has the heart to catch that Liu Heimin! Okay, next time there is a war, the third brother will make a move, how about it?"
She seems to be deliberately trying to make Li Yuanji make a fool of herself, and she has come up with a radical method!
"Cheng, haha, as long as my father is relieved, I will go! However, you two boys will guarantee me grain and grass!" Li Yuanji said happily.
If he had a chance, it would be good to be able to make military contributions, thinking of this, he smiled.
Li Yuan was noncommittal, smiled, and was happy: "Very good, Yuan Ji can also go to practice, but you two boys will back him up, otherwise, if he is in trouble, it will be terrible!"
"No, haha, let's show him safety, no problem! Hehe, then we'll make up our minds, it's best, just play with this Liu Heimin, and see what the third brother's methods are, haha! Don't ask us to save our lives when the time comes!" Princess Taiping smiled proudly.
This time, she really meant to see a joke, how could Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, fight any kind of battle? Most of them will ask the prince's brother to relieve him again!
Could it be that this is really an opportunity for the crown prince Li Jiancheng? So, is it to help the prince?
Thinking of this, her eyes lit up, and then, she began to toast again!
Unexpectedly, it turned into a prophecy, and the next day, just after going to the court, Li Yuan frowned: "Alas, this Liu Heimin is here again, this time, it is the Turkic Jieli who is supporting him in the back, you say, what should I do? Ning'er, Han'er, this time, what do you mean? You two go up!"
Obviously, he immediately forgot the decision he said yesterday that he wanted Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to fight.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, it's better to let the third brother go up, lest he always laugh at our second brother for not playing well, let him try! The battlefield, what is so fun? Third brother, let's protect you, you can't suffer a loss, just fight, how about it? Hehe, when you don't succeed, our prince brother will go up again!" Princess Taiping's memory is very good.
When Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, heard this, he was excited, and he was a little eager to try!
Li Yuan was a little unhappy: these two boys are a little lazy, fortunately, they are willing to protect Yuan Ji, why don't you let him go and take a look?
Then, he was actually overjoyed: "Okay, very good, Yuanji, you go and lead the troops to fight Liu Heimin, haha, this time, let's see what you can do! Ning'er, Han'er, you remember to remind him at any time, don't let him suffer!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry, hehe, we will never let our Datang army suffer! My brother and I only take our 100 army horses, haha! Logistics guarantee, the eldest brother deploys, the second brother transports, how about it?" Princess Taiping became a marshal.
The crown prince Li Jiancheng laughed and was happy: "Yes, let's happily obey our fate, haha, second brother, you just work hard and be a grain officer!"
"Why not? Third child, fight hard, haha, our grain and grass are absolutely fine!"
Li Yuanji then began to order the generals, asking the two old princes and Xue Wanche brothers to go with him on the expedition, and command 200,000 troops!
Hearing what he said, Xiao Han smiled, looking happy!
Li Yuanji blushed and said with a smile: "I know that you must think that there is a problem with my deployment, Han'er, why don't you be the marshal and I will be the deputy, how about it?"
"Hey, I think it's pretty good! It's very good, Xue Wanche has an unstoppable army, just right, he can be the main general, the third brother's deployment is very good! My brother is laughing at this generalissimo is not bad, keep working hard!" Princess Taiping also smiled.
Li Yuan thought about it for a while, and then smiled: "Well, you will order well, but is there too many troops? 200,000, 10,000 gold per day, how much financial resources will we consume? I see that you two boys will kill Liu Heimin on light horses!"
Obviously, he was a little unhappy! The most important thing is that he is afraid that the third child will suffer a loss and hurt the morale of Datang's military prestige!
"Your Majesty, it is also beneficial for this third brother to go to war, let's tell Liu Heimin, as well as the Turks, any prince of my Tang Dynasty can go on the expedition, so that they can't underestimate us! As for whether it will succeed or not, hehe, it depends on the means of the king! It's really not good, our prince will go out again! Anyway, the second brother King Qin has already beaten him to the ground!" Xiao Han seriously added fuel to the fire this time.
Li Yuan listened, thought for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, just do it! You two boys show me something!"
