"Give him back a bird! Now that Wang Yuankui has won the land of my Lulong Dingzhou for nothing, what can he do with a thousand soldiers and horses! Zhang Zhifang sent a few cases and scolded loudly.

"Fang Jin is not in a hurry, although the imperial court gave Ding and Yi Erzhou to Wang Yuankui, but in fact, it is only Dingzhou, isn't Yizhou still in our hands?" Li Maoxun persuaded softly.

"Well, what General Li said is right, Zhang Yuanjun only gave Dingzhou one place, and the imperial court also turned a blind eye, otherwise do you think Yizhou is really so easy to fool the past? You really don't know about this when you are in the imperial court? ”

After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Zhifang to speak, Li Zhen hurriedly diverted the topic, after all, it was all because of himself at this time, otherwise it would be counted on his head in the end, and he would not be scolded by Zhang Zhifang's tendon pointing at his nose.

"Does General Li think I should pay it back or not?" Li Zhen asked with a smile.

"Naturally, I won't pay it back! Not only did Wang Yuankui's 1,000 soldiers and horses not return, but Liu Yue's 1,000 soldiers and horses didn't return either! ”

Zhang Zhifang's attention was successfully diverted, but he seemed to think of something again when he said this, and said at the moment: "Ayana will not return a thousand!" ”

After hearing this, Li Zhen, Li Maoxun, Gao Biao, and Yan Heng looked at Zhang Zhifang with a look of surprise in their eyes.

"What? These thousand soldiers and horses were brought back from outside the border with Ze Yuan's life and death, and they made great contributions to Lu Long, and the court was stingy, Aya said that Ze Yuan should be treated well, what is wrong with me Zhang Fangjin saying a fair word for my brother? It's Aye, and I'm saying the same here! ”

Zhang Zhifang patted his chest, his face was righteous and awe-inspiring, but when he said the last sentence, he was obviously a little lacking in confidence, and after saying that, he unconsciously glanced out of the door.

"Hahaha, since that's the case, then I'll go to the envoy later, Brother Fang Jin might as well go with me?" Li Zhen laughed.

"Hey, forget it, it's better for me not to show up for this kind of thing! Zeyuan goes, Zeyuan goes! Zhang Zhifang was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and waved his hand again and again.

Everyone laughed when they saw this, and although Li Zhen did not clearly answer Li Maoxun's question, Li Maoxun naturally heard some clues, obviously Li Zhen did not plan to return these soldiers and horses.

I saw Li Maoxun then said: "If Zeyuan really has this plan, can you think of a way to deal with the aftermath?" Zhang Yuanjun's 1,000 soldiers and horses don't have to worry too much, but the 2,000 soldiers and horses of Chengde and Henghai must be guarded against, if Zeyuan has a way to deal with it, then there is no need to say more, if not......"

Li Maoxun looked at Li Zhen, and then said slowly: "If you don't have it, I'd rather not!" ”

"Oh? I wonder what General Li meant by this? Li Zhen suddenly became interested when he heard this, and it seemed that Li Maoxun meant something.

"Hahaha, the way General Li said about the aftermath is money, don't worry about this!" Yan Heng and Gao Yu glanced at each other, and then smiled.

Li Maoxun smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "Some things can be bought with money, but some things can't be bought with any amount of money!" ”

Li Zhen nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, although Li Maoxun did not say it directly, but Li Zhen had already understood the meaning of his words.

After a long time, Li Zhen sighed lightly and said: "Yes, I have been entangled in these trivial matters for the past few days, and I have no time to calm down and think about some things, if it weren't for General Li's reminder, I'm afraid I'm just getting myself into a big trouble!" ”

Li Maoxun smiled and nodded, but Zhang Zhifang and Yan Heng were confused, and Gao Biao seemed to understand something, but he still couldn't figure it out.

"Can't you speak well? What is the trouble, hurry up and listen! Zhang Zhifang waved his hand and said impatiently.

Li Maoxun couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahaha! Fang Jin is straightforward, and he disdains these shady things, but Zeyuan has a lot of experience in these things! ”

Li Zhen glanced at Li Maoxun when he heard this, and said, "General Li is really good at praising people!" In that case, I'll explain it to you, but I haven't come up with any good ideas yet, so please plan for me! ”

Li Zhen paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Putting aside the 1,000 elite cavalry of the Lulong army for the time being, just talking about the 2,000 elite cavalry of Henghai and Chengde, although I can give them a more generous salary right now, but don't forget, their home is never here!" ”

"That's right, and if my guess is correct, the purpose of the two deputy envoys of Fang Cai Chengde and Henghai is to transfer the military registration of these two thousand people!" At this time, I saw Li Maoxun interject.

"Brother Li, don't make trouble, are you a fool to be Wang Yuankui and Liu Yue? Will they give up these two thousand soldiers and horses? That's not a small number, a thousand fine horses, although it can't be a big deal, but it's enough to run amok! What's more, these are the elites of their respective armies! Zhang Zhifang obviously did not agree with Li Maoxun's speculation.

"Hehe, it's true that it's elite, but Wang Yuankui and Liu Yue are not stupid, but Fang Jin don't forget, this time Zeyuan has made a lot of contributions to the domain, but His Majesty only promoted him to a first-order official position, but rewarded him with the same amount of money as Zhang Yuanjun, do you think Your Majesty is really confused?" Li Maoxun said with a smile.

"So, what else can that be if it's not a fool? In my opinion, it's confused, old confused......" Zhang Zhifang said without hesitation, but Li Zhen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, after all, he scolded his emperor father.

Gao Biao saw that Zhang Zhifang was getting more and more outrageous, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Fang Jin, don't worry, let General Li finish speaking!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty does seem to have unknown rewards and punishments, but Fang Jin has only seen the surface, let alone guessed His Majesty's true intentions!"

"The real intention? What is that? Zhang Zhifang was already confused at this time.

"It seems to be cold, but it is actually a favor!" When Li Maoxun said this, his eyes kept looking at Li Zhen.

Li Maoxun said it well, with Li Zhen's understanding, he had already guessed one or two at the beginning of the will, first of all, his emperor father had no reason to snub him, since he sent himself to Youzhou, it means that he trusts himself and should trust himself.

Secondly, the merits he has made are well known to the government and the public, and according to his consistent practice, it is impossible for the merits that are enough to leave a page in the history books to be left out in the cold.

Therefore, Li Chen's purpose in lowering this will becomes intriguing.

Li Zhen's rank of loose official was promoted from Zhaowu Lieutenant to Guerrilla General, such a promotion is basically negligible, but the important thing is that there is no difference between Qian Wanguan and thousands of silk horses, which is no different from Zhang Zhongwu's reward.

Obviously, his emperor father knows one thing, he is short of money, he is very short of money, but if the official position is promoted too quickly, then this money must not be too much, and it is impossible to be the same as Zhang Zhongwu.

Therefore, Li Chen will definitely not give Li Zhen too much official position, and it is impossible to be knighted as Li Zhen, because he is the eldest son of the emperor, and he will be crowned king in the future, and even enter the East Palace.

In this case, it might as well be more affordable, Li Zhen needs money to raise and train soldiers, it takes money to build weapons and armor, and it takes money to introduce war horses, although this 10,000 yuan and 1,000 silk horses are not much, but at least at this time it is barely enough.

Li Maoxun naturally couldn't guess the most unspeakable part, and this was just one of them, obviously, Li Maoxun guessed the second.
