Chapter 209: Sending troops to Gaochang
Li Hao's "Teacher's Statement" shocked the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and his spirit soared to the sky, showing the true colors of the Tang Dynasty boys, even many Confucians present were also rendered, and their pride rose sharply.
There was silence in the Taiji Hall for a long time, and Li Shimin suddenly said: "I heard that the prince has sent Hou Junji to Tingzhou to help?" ”
The crown prince Li Chengqian on the side replied: "Father Qi, there is indeed such a thing. ”
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then Hou Junji will be appointed as the general manager of the Jiaohe Road March, leading 10,000 troops, and conquering Gaochang, can the Qing have any objections?" ”
There was silence in the hall, and everyone moved their eyes to Kong Yingda, everyone's meaning was very simple, if there were any objections, it was estimated that there would only be this old master.
Kong Yingda was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to make a sound, Li Shimin was very satisfied, and continued: "Li Hao said in the recital, he once pointed to the sky as a testimony and swore to destroy Gaochang, I intend to worship Li Hao as the general manager of the march of Liugu Road, cooperate with Hou Junji, and conquer Gaochang, can you have any objections?" ”
Everyone looked at Kong Yingda again, Kong Yingda felt like he was being peeped at, all kinds of embarrassment, although he couldn't get used to Li Hao, but he also knew that Li Shimin was angry, so he still didn't want to object, and look at this posture, it was useless to object, Li Hao's two letters just now were too good at attracting fans, so he didn't make a sound.
Li Shimin saw that no one objected, so he raised his voice and said: "Spread my will, and Hou Junji, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, will be the general manager of the Jiaohe Road March, leading 10,000 troops to conquer Gaochang." Li Hao, the assassin of Fengting Prefecture, was the general manager of the march of Liugu Road, leading 10,000 troops to conquer Gaochang. Xue Wanjun, the general of the Fengzuo Tunwei Guard, was the deputy commander of the Jiaohe Road March, and cooperated with Hou Junji to conquer Gaochang ......"
In the afternoon of the same day, a team of envoys set out from Chang'an and rode straight to the northwest.
At the same time, Xue Wanjun, the general of Zuotunwei, led a thousand Zuotunwei to leave Chang'an, and in his arms, he also carried a secret decree from Li Shimin.
Because Hou Junji listened to Li Chengqian's words, swaying all the way, stop-and-go, more than a month, has not yet entered Longyou Road, the speed is comparable to stepping into the green, seven days later, the proclamation team caught up with Hou Junji, to him proclaimed the decree, this can scare Hou Junji not lightly, he was not frightened by the holy decree, but was frightened by the proclamation envoy team, he has not been out of the customs for more than a month, if he was told to Li Shimin by the envoy team, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk, he wanted to ask the envoy to rub a meal, but was refused, People also rushed to Tingzhou to send the holy decree to Li Hao, how could there be time to delay, Hou Junji had no choice but to take out a piece of beautiful jade that he carried with him and give it to the envoy, and then hinted at it.
After all, Hou Junji was in a high position, and the envoy did not dare to offend him, so he could only accept Meiyu, nodded and agreed to his request, and then continued on the road.
Sent away the envoy, Hou Junji couldn't help but speed up the trip, even if he wanted to carry out the prince's instructions, at least it should not be so obvious, ten days later, when he was about to arrive in Lanzhou, Xue Wanjun chased after him with a thousand Zuotun guards, and when he saw Xue Wanjun, both of them were stunned.
Xue Wanjun was shocked and asked him why it had been nearly two months since he set off to arrive in Lanzhou, but fortunately, Hou Junji's brain turned quickly, and he deduced that he had an abdominal disease and was capricious, so the trip was delayed.
Xue Wanjun didn't suspect much, and entered Lanzhou with Hou Junji, and that night, Xue Wanjun handed over a secret edict to Hou Junji, Hou Junji opened it, dumbfounded, and it read: "Li Hao is the main, Hou Junji is the auxiliary."
Since the defeat of Gaochang in Tingzhou, Lu Wentai has been cowardly, can he not be cowardly, now all the troops in Gaochang add up to 20,000, and almost eighty percent are recruits, when attacking Tingzhou, Lu Wentai is crazy, now he regrets it, regrets it very much, he suddenly thought that the Tang Dynasty would not send troops to attack, so he stepped up his training, and at the same time conscripted again, Gaochang originally had a small population, he conscripted again and again, and the people were dissatisfied, Lu Wentai had no choice but to increase military salaries and calm the people's anger, Only then did he finally recruit another 5,000 soldiers and horses.
At the same time, Li Hao recuperated in Tingzhou, Tingzhou has developed well recently, because Gaochang has been very stable recently, so the caravans passing by have also become more, caravans can bring a lot of materials and economy to Tingzhou, Li Hao loves these caravans.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the people of Tingzhou, Li Hao was very satisfied, and what made Li Hao happy was that he had grown three centimeters taller, and now he was one meter seventy-three tall, not only that, but his body had also begun to develop in an all-round way, and various characteristics had begun to slowly appear, which was really late.
Summer is coming to an end, but Tingzhou is still very hot, Li Hao has to hide in the room every day, use the battery to connect the car fan, blow the fan to his face, and then yell from time to time: "I don't care, my life is given by the fan." "It feels like a nerve.
On this day, he hid in the room and blew the fan, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Li Hao hurriedly turned off the fan, covered the battery and the fan with a big blanket, and then the knock on the door sounded, Li Hao asked, "Who?" ”
"It's me, Zhu Ruihuan."
Since Zhu Su passed away, Zhu Ruihuan has been by Li Hao's side, and the decisive battle with Gaochang, Li Hao's performance shocked Zhu Ruihuan, from then on, this arrogant year must recognize Li Hao as the boss, when Li Hao heard that he wanted to recognize himself as the boss, Li Hao saw that this kid used to be a bad year, in this era, called the ruffian hooligan, he was a ruffian at such a young age, and he got it when he grew up, fortunately he met Li Hao, Li Hao is trying to lead him on the right path, although it is a bit difficult, But Li Hao has the means.
Li Hao went up and opened the door, only to see Zhu Ruihuan walking in with two big birds, and said happily: "Good things, boss, there are good things to eat today." ”
Li Hao looked at it and exclaimed: "Red-crowned crane? ”
"What red-crowned cranes? Is this a crane? Zhu Ruihuan shook the two red-crowned cranes in his hand and corrected Li Hao seriously.
"Okay, Crane." Li Hao showed a perfunctory smile and said, "Zhu Ruihuan, have you ever heard of a sentence called burning the qin and boiling the crane?" ”
"What do you mean?" Zhu Ruihuan looked confused.
Li Hao frowned and said: "The crane is for ornamentation, you actually killed and eaten, and you spoiled the scenery, you know no." ”
"I didn't kill it." Zhu Ruihuan hurriedly explained, "These two cranes are dead from heat, the caravan don't want to die of cranes, I saw that these two cranes just died of heat, and they were quite fresh, so I bought them back, alas, you said that if we eat crane meat, will we become immortals?" ”
"Why don't you go to heaven? Why don't you go shoulder to shoulder with the moon? Li Hao knocked on his head and said, "If you can become an immortal, this immortal crane will not be killed by heat." ”
Zhu Ruihuan thought about it carefully, it seems that this is the case, the crane can be killed by heat, what kind of immortal is that.
Li Hao took the two red-crowned cranes and looked at them, frowned, and said, "Are you sure that these two cranes died of heat and were not screwed to death by you who broke their necks?" ”
Zhu Ruihuan was so embarrassed, he didn't expect Li Hao to find a flaw at a glance, he was just on the street to buy cranes from the merchants of the caravan, but the merchants didn't sell them, so he secretly killed the two cranes, and then bought them at a very low price.
As soon as Zhu Ruihuan's eyes rolled, he began to lie: "Naturally, they died of heat, maybe I accidentally twisted their necks on the way here just now." ”
Li Hao didn't pursue it, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you want to eat?" ”
Zhu Ruihuan said excitedly when he heard this: "Roast and eat!" Your roast chicken can be so delicious, and this roast crane must be even better. As he spoke, his saliva flowed out.
"Look at your little bit of interest." Li Hao carried two cranes to the back kitchen of the Thorn Mansion, asked the cook to boil a pot of boiling water, and then began to pluck the feathers, after plucking the feathers, Li Hao saw the feathers of the cranes all over the ground, and suddenly had an idea, put away all the feathers, and then began to deal with the crane meat, Zhu Ruihuan wondered: "Boss, what are you doing with these crane feathers?" ”
"Pretending to be forced." Li Hao smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything.
Soon, the crane meat was roasted, Li Hao's craftsmanship naturally had nothing to say, the crane meat was far more tender than the chicken, Zhu Ruihuan licked his fingers when he ate it, Li Hao suddenly felt that this product was not too much like himself, how did he feel a little like Cheng Chumo.
After eating the crane, Li Hao took out a toothpick to pick his teeth, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, the crane has also eaten, now you can go to the flying eagle and ask him to supervise you to run around Tingzhou City three times, don't come back if you can't finish running." ”
"Huh?" Li Hao's words made Zhu Ruihuan instantly confused, everyone was talking about eating roast crane meat with a smile one moment, and the next moment they would punish themselves, this face turning was so fast that he couldn't catch it off guard, he was very unconvinced, and asked depressedly, "Why do you want to punish me again?" ”
"It's for your own good." Li Hao raised his eyebrows while picking his teeth, and said, "I'm really stupid, I can't see that those two cranes were screwed to death by you, it is estimated that people refuse to sell them to you, so you will quietly kill other people's cranes, and then buy them back at a low price." ”
Zhu Ruihuan's eyes widened and exclaimed, "You sent someone to follow me?" ”
"Stalker." Li Hao looked ruffian and said disdainfully, "You are not qualified to let me send someone to follow me, your little trick, hehe, you can think of it with your ass, but this time it's okay, it's much better than stealing things last time, so this time I will only punish you for running three laps." ”
Zhu Ruihuan was snatched by him, his face was flushed, and he said angrily: "Then why didn't you say it just now!" Just say it now! ”
"If I just said it, how can I eat crane meat?" Li Hao's two eyebrows seemed to be dancing.
Zhu Ruihuan: ......
Sent away Zhu Ruihuan, Li Hao packed up the crane feathers, then went back to the room to find a pencil and paper, began to draw, and drew a feather fan frame, yes, he is going to use these crane feathers to make a feather fan, the kind Zhuge Liang used, no, it must be more handsome than Zhuge Liang's feather fan, by the way, there is a scarf, how can there be no feather fan.
After Li Hao drew the fan frame diagram, he found the best carpenter in the city and asked him to make one for himself according to the picture, this fan frame is not complicated, the carpenter's craftsmanship is good, and the fan frame was handed over to Li Hao on the same day, the fan frame was made very exquisitely, fully meeting Li Hao's requirements, and even the gossip map logo on it was carved meticulously.
Li Hao was very happy, immediately selected and trimmed the crane feathers, found silk threads to fix the crane feathers into a fan shape, and then inserted all the feathers into the fine holes of the fan frame, a feather fan was done, very handsome, I saw that this feather fan was like a peach shape, the five feathers in the middle were long and straight, the feathers were shorter and shorter, showing a perfect arc, and the feathers on both sides were slightly curved, this is the legendary streamlined feather fan, it feels like the feather fan used by Zhuge Liang in the game, handsome.
。 In the evening, Li Hao tied a blue silk scarf on his head, cranked a black and white feather fan, and landed on the city, and slowly groaned in his mouth: "Majestic and heroic, lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the canopy is gone." ”
He turned around suddenly, fanned the guide, and there was lightning in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Gao Chang! Wait! I'll wipe you out! ”
