Chapter 36 Expedition

On the fifth day of the first month of February, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, outside Chang'an City, ten miles of long pavilions.

A group of people are reluctant, including men and women, old and young, happy and sad, gorgeously dressed, and extraordinary.

On the official road, there is a cavalry of thousands of people standing upright, letting the breeze blow and not moving like a mountain, like a tall and relaxed, strong and fearless.

Not far from the army, there are countless people, the people of Chang'an City have already learned the news, just today, the Tang Emperor's son, when His Royal Highness the King of Chaoyue is also going to set foot on the battlefield, they are all here to see off.

Seeing that another army was about to set foot on the battlefield, the people of Chang'an did not say goodbye to the royal family, but cheered together to cheer for the Tang army.

Although the war to exterminate the Turks has not yet ended, the Tang Dynasty has occupied a dominant position, as long as the commander who leads the troops is not confused, it is appropriate to win this war.

The commander of the army is Li Jing.

Will Li Jing be confused?

That's absolutely impossible.

In that case, why can't they cheer?

This is the glory of Datang, and in the hearts of every people, they are proud to believe that Datang is undefeated!

Li Zhen was being held in Concubine Yan's arms at this time, and she was unwilling to let go, crying profusely and begging Li Shimin to take back her life. Don't look at what Concubine Yan said at the time, it is too difficult for a prince to earn military merits, and he must not miss any opportunity and never come again, but when Li Zhen is about to go to Dingxiangdao, he suffers from gains and losses:

Although the army has already taken the advantage, what if Jieli reverses?

Although Zhen'er is in the middle of the army, what if the Jieli Assassins are to do so?

What should I do if I am accidentally injured by a stray arrow?

I heard that the environment on the grassland is harsh, what should I do if Zhen'er is sick?

......

In short, all the things that she had ignored before poured into Concubine Yan's mind again, and she suddenly became a source of gain and loss. Holding Li Zhen with one hand and not letting go, the other hand pulled Li Shimin's sleeve and begged him to take back his life, no one could persuade him.

The eldest grandson also cried secretly beside her, although she had been put on a table by Li Zhen, she had never been angry. And Li Zhen is too important to Datang, is it really cost-effective to go to the battlefield like this? couldn't help but set his eyes on Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is also contradictory, after all, he is blood and flesh, and in a place like the battlefield, can Zhen'er really stand it? Or will I take this order back? It's better to be laughed at than to let your son die, isn't it?

As soon as Li Zhen saw that Li Shimin's expression was relaxed, she immediately said: "Father, mother, and concubine, now that the parting is imminent, the child will write a poem, and Liao Zuo misses it." ”

"It's fine." Li Shimin immediately hit the snake and put it on the stick: "Concubine Ai, Guanyin, don't be sad, Zhen'er is going to compose a poem." ”

Of course, Li Zhen can't write poems seriously, what are you kidding? This atmosphere is already dull enough, if you make another parting poem, everyone will not have to cry?

After walking around the long pavilion, Li Zhen's eyes lit up and she had an idea:

"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, a line of egrets went to the west sky;

The chariot is chariote, the horse is Xiaoxiao, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors. ”

"Poof!"

"It's so symmetrical."

"It's so funny, hahaha......"

"Kill me......"

"Well, good poetry, really good poetry." Li Shimin gritted his teeth, and then suddenly broke out: "I'll kill you stinky boy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it." ”

“No！” was slapped on the buttocks, Li Zhen jumped three feet high, turned over and jumped into the carriage, and then locked the doors and windows tightly, no matter how they beat outside, they just couldn't come out.

"Hurry up, hurry up, go quickly." Li Zhen knocked on the front door and urged Li Ergou, who was acting as a driver.

"Yes." Li Ergou also knew that if he didn't leave, he really wouldn't be able to leave, so he hurriedly confessed to Li Shimin and galloped in the carriage.

Li Zhen, who was hiding in the carriage, had tears in his eyes, and at the same time covered his ears, not daring to loosen up for half a minute, because he was afraid that if he loosened a little, Concubine Yan's cry would reach his ears, and his heart would soften, and then he would really give up this opportunity......

The army has been away from Chang'an for three days, and Li Zhen has not left the carriage for three days, if it weren't for the little eunuch who accompanied him to report often, I am afraid that the commander who led the army would still think that Li Zhen had an accident.

"Ahh After another day, Li Zhen finally discharged all the depression in her body, opened the sunroof of the carriage, revealing half of her body, and howled in the breeze to the sky.

"Your Highness, it's windy outside, so you'd better sit back in the carriage." Next to Li Zhen's carriage, there was always a silver-armored knight following closely, and when he saw Li Zhen poking his head out, he hurriedly admonished.

"It's okay, the Lone King is not so squeamish." You can call it whatever you want in front of your own people, but now there are a lot of soldiers around you, of course, you have to put up the prince's shelf.

After saying this, Li Zhen suddenly asked: "By the way, Rengui, you have been in the army for half a month, have you ever been used to it?" ”

"Your Highness, there is no discomfort, and entering the army is the same as returning home." The silver-armored knight replied respectfully.

After listening to the conversation between the two, if the officials still can't guess the identity of the Silver Armor Knight, then they will be in vain as a history buff.

This silver-armored knight is none other than Xue Rengui, who is fifteen years old this year, and was only found by the people sent by Yan Jingsi a month ago.

After learning the news that Xue Rengui was willing to surrender, Li Zhen was even more happy to turn his head on the ground. Xue Rengui, this is Xue Rengui, the Tang Dynasty, oh no, or the entire China for five thousand years, he has been a peerless general, and now he is actually included in his account and has become an indestructible spear in his hands.

As for whether Xue Rengui will become a mediocrity after serving himself, Li Zhen has never been worried about this. Because Li Zhen is convinced that as long as he is a genius, he will shine no matter where he puts it, and Li Zhen has found the most suitable teacher for him, and I believe that under the teaching of that teacher, the current Xue Rengui will definitely far surpass Xue Rengui in history.

Moreover, Li Zhen also asked him, he didn't have any mentors, and all the Taoluo martial arts were learned by himself (Xue Rengui is a disciple of the Xue family in Hedong, although it has declined, but the inheritance in the family has not been broken; As for Xue Rengui's teacher, there is no record in this history, and some wild histories say that it is Li Jing, but in fact, it is pure nonsense).

And the day after meeting Xue Rengui, Li Zhen arranged for him to join his own guard (that is, the 3,000 elites arranged for him by Li Shimin, which was in the integration period at that time). Xue Renguiyuan was born for the army, and soon established his position among the many warriors when he entered the army, and was promoted to chief by Li Zhen by the way. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't made a contribution, lest it would be difficult to convince the public, Li Zhen would have handed over the pawn army of the prince's account to him (the main person in charge of the account house is to lead the guards below the captain, and he is regarded as the prince's bodyguard, and Li Ergou and their personnel relations should be counted here. Normally, the prince's account is 667 people, but Li Zhen's guard is superb, a total of 2,000 people).

In fact, Xue Rengui is also quite strange, he has practiced martial arts at home, and he has no intention of going out of the mountains to join the army, who knows that he was actually approached by someone, and he is still a prince. Although Xue Rengui is a child of a big family, their vein has been down for a long time, he wants to glorify the lintel, and now that the opportunity has come to the door, how can he let it go?

As for whether he will be tied to Li Zhen in the future, because Li Zhen's future future will not be able to realize his dream, he really hasn't thought about it, after all, he is just a teenager, and he will just enter junior high school in the next life. Even if the poor child is in charge of the house early, how far can he think? I just think that His Royal Highness King Yue can afford himself, as the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant, and he has to serve him well.
