The autumn of Wude's fifth year passed quickly. And Li Shimin also broke Xu Yuanlong in mid-August and led his troops back to Chang'an.

It is said that the main merit of breaking Xu Yuanlang this time was that Li Yang of the reconnaissance battalion burned Xu Yuanlang's grain and grass with a fire kite, and the army's morale was immediately dispersed. The Xuanjia Guards led by Li Shimin attacked the camp at night, and the soldiers were defeated for hundreds of miles. On the second day, the reconnaissance battalion soldiers led by Zhao Yi found Xu Yuanlang and captured him alive.

When King Qin returned, Zhang Yunwen went to greet him as usual. However, when he saw the reconnaissance battalion he had trained in the future, he found that there were only about 120 people left.

As for Xiao Jiang and the other eight personal soldiers sent by Xue Wanche at the beginning, they have all been killed.

These 120 people, plus the current more than 60 people, add up to more than 180 people. It turned out that the manor where the reconnaissance camp lived could no longer accommodate these nearly 200 people, so Li Shimin had to disperse and resettle. Nearly eighty of the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion born in the Xuanjia team entered the Qin Palace, led by Yuan Sugong and others, and became the palace guards. And the rest is crammed into the manor. However, Zhang Yunwen missed the old relationship and took Ma Wangshan to the natural residence and lived with his two elder brothers.

Since the personnel of the reconnaissance battalion were almost divided into two groups, there was still a lot of confusion between them. So in the first few days after King Qin came back, Zhang Yunwen soaked in the reconnaissance camp almost every day, engaging in activities such as social gatherings, singing competitions, and other games to promote unity such as the two of them tying their feet forward.

But Zhang Yunwen is not satisfied with this. He knew that the identity of the current reconnaissance battalion was extremely embarrassing, and he was neither a sergeant of the Twelfth Guard, nor a sergeant of the sixth rate of the East Palace, so he could only be counted as Li Shimin's private soldier. And it is not a good way to keep such an elite private soldier outside Chang'an City, it is difficult to prevent when a few people will be poached by the Prince Jiancheng Group or the Li Yuan Group and used against themselves, it will be a big deal.

Therefore, what he wanted to do was to strengthen the ideological education of these soldiers, which was equivalent to the work done by the political commissars of later generations. So, every day, Zhang Yunwen told these soldiers some stories of loyalty and righteousness, such as what Guan Yu passed five levels and killed six generals, anyway, in a word, don't forget the word loyalty.

These soldiers were originally led by Li Shimin, and of course they had a loyal mentality towards Li Shimin. And that ranger has achieved a lot of wealth with Zhang Yunwen, for example, this time, these more than 60 people have almost been promoted to one level and have become the captain of Jiupin Rong, and Ma Wangshan and Wu Peng are the captains of Renyong. So of course they followed Zhang Yunwen.

However, these captains, and even Zhang Yunwen's General Ning Yuan, are just military attachés, and they have no real power to command the army. It's not as good as a team that is also a nine-pin.

After finally getting the matter of the reconnaissance camp and reporting to Li Shimin, Li Shimin suddenly patted Zhang Yunwen on the shoulder happily: "Yunwen, you have made another contribution!" When commanding the troops, he was most afraid of the detachment of the soldiers and the disagreement of the soldiers. If you follow Yunwen's method, hold a fraternity party among the sergeants and do some games, it will greatly promote the harmony between the soldiers! ”

Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but feel a little fluttery.

Li Shimin said again: "Regarding the matter of the reconnaissance camp, you can take care of it. And you can also take care of the intelligence network! At the beginning, it took Lin Ran a long time to expand the intelligence network to Guanzhong Henan, and not long after you came up, I am afraid that there are investigation institutes in this Datang territory! And the carrier pigeon and the cipher code are even more incredible, the former ensures the speed of transmitting information, and the latter ensures confidentiality. Uh, by the way, Lin Ran has already returned to Chang'an, and the other two are about to return to Chang'an, and they will both be your deputies. You can do it boldly! ”

Zhang Yunwen happily accepted the order.

East Palace Xiande Hall.

Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, sat opposite the crown prince.

"Big brother, then Li Shimin returned victorious, the momentum is like a rainbow, if you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, I am afraid of disaster!" Li Yuanji looked at Li Jiancheng's eyes and said.

Li Jiancheng didn't dare to look at the eyes of the fourth brother, and turned his gaze to other places: "But after all, we are brothers, how can we kill each other!" ”

Li Yuanji suddenly "hummed" and said: "You think he is a brother, but he once treated you as a brother?" Look at it, the people of the East Palace are no more than Wei Zheng Wang Gui, and Wu is no more than Xue Wanche's brothers. Look at the people of his Tiance Mansion, Wen Youfang Xuanling, Du Ruxuan, the eldest grandson Wuji, etc., as well as the eighteen bachelors of Tiance, Wu, is even stronger. Qin Qiongcheng bit Jin Wei Chi Gong and had the courage of ten thousand people, and now, there is one more reconnaissance battalion of Zhang Yunwen. You must know that that reconnaissance battalion is good at assassination, and even the two Liu Heimin brothers are planted in their hands! If he were the big brother, he should have given them all to you, instead of forming his own faction there! ”

Li Jiancheng let out a long sigh when he heard this, and smiled reluctantly: "The second brother is so powerful, I'm still happy to be the eldest brother!" ”

Li Yuanji suddenly stood up angrily: "Big brother, these words are just for outsiders, why do you still say these words in front of me!" If you don't dare, I'll do it myself! ”

After speaking, he strode away from the Hall of Virtue.

Li Jiancheng's face behind him suddenly sank, and he muttered to himself: "Outsiders? Hmph, when I don't know who said that the word 'Yuanji' is a 'Tang' character together, claiming that he has the image of the Son of Heaven? ”

After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Li Jiancheng got up and paced.

After a while, he stopped pacing, came to the desk, pulled out a piece of white rice paper, and began to write on it.

After writing one, I took a break for a moment and then wrote a second one.

"Someone's coming!" After writing, he put two pieces of paper into two envelopes. On an envelope, he wrote: "Built by Uncle Bai Luoyi! And another envelope reads: "Gyeongju Yang Wengan personally opened!" ”

"Send me these two letters!" The chamberlain took the letter with both hands and slowly retreated.

After doing this, Li Jiancheng sat on the chair and stared at the desk in front of him in a daze. It took a long time before he shouted again: "Someone is coming!" Seeing an attendant coming, Li Jiancheng said: "Pass the order, let the subordinates of the East Palace privately recruit useful people in Chang'an and other places to serve as the guards of the East Palace!" ”

"Whoa!" The chamberlain bowed and retreated.

In the following month, Chang'an and officials related to the East Palace were all selected from the people or the army to send them to Chang'an.

There were more than 2,000 brave men who arrived in Chang'an one after another. The East Palace came forward to place more than 2,000 people in the Changlin Gate on the left and right sides of the East Palace, and stationed here, known as the Changlin Army.

At the same time, Luo Yi's reply also reached Li Jiancheng's hand, he opened the letter, took a rough look, and a smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth.

"Come on, let the right Yu wait rate can come over!"

A moment later, Da Zhi came over.

"But wait, there's one thing I want to leave to you!" Li Jiancheng said, "Come here with your ears!" ”

Hurriedly put his ear to Li Jiancheng's side, Li Jiancheng muttered softly for a while, and then ordered him to go down.

After Da Zhi left, Li Jiancheng suddenly smiled gloomily: "Hmph, if this matter is successful, then Chang'an will be under my control!" ”
