I don't know when the bright starry sky is covered with a thin layer of dark clouds.

Li Chengqian wore a moon-white silk robe, his hair was tied with a ribbon, and he naturally draped it behind his head, standing on the grassland under the night sky for a long time.

Ten steps away, Liu Kui and Wang Qun took the guards to light the torches to guard the surroundings to prevent any people or wild beasts from approaching, and a little farther away was the military camp where the bonfire was located.

There were only Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Wang Fangyi, and Cheng Wuting standing beside Li Chengqian, and at this time they didn't look at the grassland or the starry sky at night, but just looked at Li Chengqian from different directions.

The night breeze of early spring swept Li Chengqian's clothes gently, like a fairy, Li Chengqian looked into the distance and took a few steps forward, felt the soft bow under his feet, borrowed the torches of the guards in the distance, and looked like a clump of tender grass in the haze, so he stopped.

Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, and Wang Fangyi watched Li Chengqian hear today's news, and they were a little distressed by being so silent, no matter who did so many things, but they were suspicious of their father.

But if they see Li Chengqian at this moment, they should be able to see that Li Chengqian's face does not have any sad look, his feelings for Li Shimin are very special, in his previous life he knew that Li Shimin was a very important hero in the history of the Chinese nation, but Li Shimin's shortcomings are so obvious.

Therefore, even though he is Li Shimin's son, he does not have much admiration for Li Shimin, and the relationship between father and son is because he wants to change his life against the sky, and his relationship with Li Shimin has always been very complicated.

Because his fate is always in the hands of Li Shimin......

Li Chengqian couldn't understand why he couldn't easily make a fortune and get Li Shimin's favor like other traversers.

This is, of course, caused by Li Chengqian's greed, if he only wants to change the outcome of Li Chengqian's deposed death in history, he has succeeded, and what he is doing now is to change the fate of the Tang Dynasty and even the Chinese nation.

But if he wants to change the fate of the Tang Dynasty, he can't do it alone, even if he becomes the emperor in the future, it will be difficult to comprehensively solve the hidden dangers of the Tang Dynasty, and the helper he needs is not any minister but Li Shimin.

This kind of contradiction that we want to get rid of and must rely on is both opposition and unity......

I don't know how long it took for Xue Rengui and the others to hear Li Chengqian suddenly sigh, and then they saw Li Chengqian turn around, looked at them and said sincerely, "Did I do something wrong?"

The four of them were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads firmly.

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, no matter what, I have to do what I think." ”

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at Xue Rengui and said, "You can tell me in detail about the situation when the British public Tuo Su was set to speak." ”

When Su Dingfang came back, he told Li Chengqian about Li Shiji's abnormality, and Li Chengqian relayed the news from Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian at that time, so he put the matter aside.

However, Li Shiji has always been known for his deep thoughts, and today he stopped talking before Su Ding, and Li Chengqian did not believe that this was the real Li Shiji.

When Xue Rengui heard this, he told the scene he saw at that time again, and Li Chengqian thought silently for a while after hearing this, and a thought flashed in his heart.

But seeing Pei Xingjian frowning and thinking for a while, he said, "Does the British Duke mean that he wants to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he is very embarrassed?"

"Everyone knows he's embarrassed when he behaves like that!" Cheng Wu muttered unconvinced.

Li Chengqian didn't look at Cheng Wuting, he figured it out as soon as he moved in his heart, and said to everyone lightly: "The British Duke just wants to tell me that he is very embarrassed, but why is it difficult?" Li Chengqian's eyes were cold when he said this, and he snorted coldly and continued: "Okay! Let's be careful. ”

Li Chengqian understood that Li Shiji smelled the smell of the two palaces fighting, so he told Li Chengqian that these ministers were embarrassed.

In fact, Li Shiji was just worried that Xue Yantuo had been derelict in his duty in dividing his troops to the north, and this time the big victory was divided by the East Palace, and he was really afraid of Li Chengqian's retribution......

But let Li Chengqian understand that Li Shimin wanted to embarrass him.

Li Chengqian wanted to settle down, so he turned around and walked to the barracks, and before he had gone far, Liu Kui and others came up to greet him, and everyone surrounded him and returned to the barracks with Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian walked to the gate of the camp, he saw Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang standing next to a blazing bonfire.

"The end will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The second general bowed and gave a military salute.

"The two Qing families are even."

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." Both were cautious.

Li Chengqian didn't look at the expressions of the two of them, and asked as he walked towards the camp: "What happened to the Hui people of Liu Qing's family who surrendered?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Tumidu already knows about Wu Su and his wife, plus it was Wu Su who led him into the trap and hated Wu Su to the core, but no one under his command has no way to take Wu Su at all."

"Humph!" Li Chengqian snorted when he heard this: "It seems that this Tumidu still wants to continue to lead the Hui Ministry, tomorrow you and Xue Rengui will take 40,000 troops to the northwest to recruit the 60,000 Mobei coalition troops, and disarm them on the spot after surrendering." ”

The Central Plains Dynasty never called for the surrender of nomads, unless they were prisoners of war.

But thinking that with an army of 40,000 plus 15,000 men and horses originally in the northwest, and gunpowder can already win the opponent through a frontal battle, it is naturally not a problem to disarm.

Li Chengqian arranged this matter and went back to rest in the tent, and he had to go to see Li Shimin tomorrow, and he didn't know what situation was waiting for him.

----------------

Early the next morning, as soon as the sun came out, Li Chengqian was still in his tent when he heard that Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li Shiji, the British duke, Hou Junji, the Duke of Luguo, and Yang Hongli, the squire of the military department, and other important ministers of Li Shimin's camp came to Li Chengqian's camp in full costume to welcome Li Chengqian's return.

Li Chengqian thought that they would greet him outside the camp at most, but he didn't want to come directly to his camp, so he hurriedly ordered someone to change into that set of gold armor for him.

After the three drums, Li Chengqian was on the throne in the military tent of the Chinese army, and Su Dingfang, Xu Jingzong, Pei Xingjian, Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Li Simo and other generals of the East Palace lined up on both sides.

"Pass them in!" Li Chengqian said in a low voice.

After a while, the civil and military detachment of the camp headed by Li Ke entered Li Chengqian's Chinese army tent.

As soon as a few people entered the big tent, they looked up and saw Li Chengqian, who was wearing a military uniform, and they were all shocked.

Li Chengqian, who was martial before the Tang Dynasty, often wore military uniforms to hunt in Chang'an City, and the ministers at that time regarded him as a gentleman. Now that Li Chengqian has commanded several victories in the north one after another, the ministers and the ministers will naturally feel different when they see Li Chengqian wearing gold armor, sitting upright in a handsome position, and standing on both sides of the civil and military guards.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After a few people entered the tent, their posture was very low.

Li Chengqian said with a faint smile on his face: "Zhu Qing is flat!" ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." Li Ke and the others straightened up when they heard this, and then Li Ke bowed alone again and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the ministers have come to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the camp at the behest of His Majesty." ”

Li Chengqian bowed slightly when he heard this, and said, "I'm tired." ”

When several people heard this, they clenched their fists and bowed down again, saying that they didn't dare.

Li Chengqian waited for everyone to calm down before he smiled and said: "The lonely king is also bent on remembering his father, and last night the army was unable to move, so he endured it all night, and ordered them to get up early this morning to pull out the camp. I'm going to the camp to greet my father, and you're here, so let's go together." ”

"The ministers obey." The crowd saluted again.

When Li Chengqian said this, he got up and stepped down from his handsome position, came to Li Ke and grabbed his hand and said: "The third brother has been filial piety in front of his father these days, and I want to thank you for my brother." ”

Hearing this, Li Ke hurriedly bowed his head and said: "This is a matter for the foolish brother, how dare he be thanked by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and patted Li Ke's hand to appease him, so he walked out of the tent with him.

Li Chengqian's full guard of honor had already been prepared outside the tent, and Li Chengqian helped Li Ke to walk up to the chariot, talked to him in the chariot, and waited for the whole army to be lined up and set off again.

The chariot is the military vehicle in the crown prince's guard of honor, and since Li Chengqian has taken the chariot, he has also exempted many guards of honor, and the front and rear ceremonial guards are all used as guards of the East Palace with bright armor.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's battle is not like returning to the camp, but like going on an expedition." Hou Junji looked at Li Chengqian's guard of honor and said lightly.

Li Shiji and Yang Hongli next to him only had slightly gloomy faces when they heard this, Li Chengqian obviously did this to show his muscles, who didn't know who was down-frowning?

When the army rose up, Li Shiji found that only more than 10,000 Tang troops had come out of Li Chengqian's camp, and 50,000 Tang troops had been disarmed and returned to the people, Li Shiji's face finally changed, and he hurriedly walked to Li Chengqian's leather chariot and clenched his fists and said: "Why are there only more than 10,000 people in His Royal Highness the Prince's camp?"

Li Chengqian sat on the car and turned his head to look at Li Shiji, and said: "King Gu ordered Xue Rengui and Liu Renliang to take 40,000 soldiers and horses to the northwest to recruit the rest of the Mobei coalition army. ”

"Surrender? Confusion?" Li Shiji's face changed when he heard this, and he changed his course.

"Yes, I went with Tumidu." Li Chengqian said lightly.

Li Shiji said faintly when he heard this: "Your Majesty ordered Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche to lead 30,000 troops to rescue Eguo Gong and others yesterday. ”

"Then it depends on which of them is the most capable." Li Chengqian said that he would give the order to drive.
