Chapter 62: The Reason for War!

Today's new military camp seems to be a little different from the past, this point has been felt since Zhao Chen stepped into the new military camp, but what is the difference, Zhao Chen for a while, but he can't say. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the playground in the distance, Zhu Youliang's rough order was still heard, and with this order, the sound of neat horses' hooves, as well as the shouts of the soldiers, were deafening one by one, all of which were not much different from the past.

But what's the difference?

Zhao Chen scratched his head depressedly, looking around, trying to find a different place, and after a while, his gaze occasionally swept to the tree in front of the camp, as if he had suddenly realized, and reacted suddenly.

To be exact, his eyes were fixed on a stone table under the tree, and a chess game on the stone table, according to normal circumstances, at the end of the stone table at this moment, there should be two old people, talking and laughing and playing a game, while drinking tea leisurely.

And these two old men are not outsiders, they are Lao Qin and Li Jing, who have unloaded their armor and served in the military academy, these two old men, since the new military camp was built, they have nothing to do in the barracks.

When I am free, I drink tea, play chess, and when the mood comes, I will sneer at the killers on the playground, saying that there is nothing to see, like this kind of loose formation, it is just a sash in the barracks, once it is used on the scene, there is no need for the enemy to rush, and it has already been washed away.

Veteran, after a long time on the battlefield, that experience must be leveraged, not to mention, there is an old man at the level of a general on the side, so often at this time, there will be some shameless things, running around, and even coaxing and deceiving to cheat some experience.

This phenomenon has long been the norm in the barracks, and the two old men probably enjoy this kind of retirement and the fun of instructing the juniors!

But the problem now is that Zhao Chen came over today, but he didn't see these two old men, usually at this hour, the two old men would drink tea there on time to play games, but now it is empty.

There is also a game of broken chess on the stone table, and there are two old men's teapots in the two corners, and the noon sun, penetrating the shade of the trees, is like broken silver, scattered on the stone table with the broken chess, all of which shows that it is because Zhao Chen did not know something, and suddenly let the two old men throw away the chess game and leave.

"Master Hou, a certain family guesses that it may be going on an expedition!" And just when Zhao Chen was standing alone at the stone table, frowning slightly, puzzled, Dugu Mou, who was originally training soldiers, appeared quietly behind Zhao Chen, with a disgusting look like I have something big to tell you, and said in a low voice.

"Are you looking forward to going on the expedition?" Hearing Dugumou's words, Zhao Chen's original frowning brows deepened a little, and as he spoke, he turned his head and looked Dugumou up and down, and said angrily.

"Master Hou, look at what you said, how can a certain family look forward to going on the expedition!" Hearing Zhao Chen's obviously unkind words, Dugu Mou immediately put on a serious expression, and almost swore to the sky, but as soon as the words fell, his expression suddenly changed, and he said with a hippie smile at Zhao Chen: "It's the brothers under my hands who are looking forward to it, they are practicing in the barracks every day, and they are almost numb, aren't they......"

"Where...... Did you see that? As soon as Dugumou's words fell, Zhao Chen turned his head with a serious face, pointed to Qinling not far away and said: "Where the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is barren mountains and mountains when you enter, hurry up and take your people over, there will be a battle with real swords and guns, don't worry about how many casualties you will have, when Your Majesty asks for the guilt, Ben Hou will bear it for you!" ”

"Master Hou, look at what you said..."Dugumou's face was about to twist into a bun flower, listening to Zhao Chen's words, he scratched his head vigorously, and said with an embarrassed face: "Forget it, then let's assume that someone hasn't said this!" ”

"Cut, see what you can!" When Zhao Chen heard Dugumou's embarrassing words, he glanced at Dugumou with great disdain, and then, with a flick of his robe, he sat down on the stone bench of Lao Qin's past, turned his head and looked at Dugumou and asked, "What happened, why are the two old men missing?" ”

"I don't know!" Hearing Zhao Chen talk about business, Dugu Mou also put away the embarrassment on his face, frowned slightly at Zhao Chen, and said: "When I went down to the morning court, Your Majesty specially arranged for someone to come over, and the old generals left in a hurry!" ”

“… Then what did you just say that you were going to go on the expedition? Lao Qin and Li Jing had already unloaded their armor and returned to the field, but Li Er hurriedly recalled the two of them back to the palace, Zhao Chen also felt a little puzzled, unless, really as Dugu Mou said, Li Er was about to prepare for war again.

Moreover, if you can summon Lao Qin together, if you want to come to this war, it must not be a small scale!

"Didn't Master Hou hear that a few days ago, Na Yanqi sent an envoy to Chang'an!" Hearing Zhao Chen talk about going on the expedition again, Dugu Mou's brows that had just been frowning suddenly stretched out again, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously to Zhao Chen.

"I heard that!" Hearing Dugumou's words, Zhao Chen's brows furrowed reflexively, and he looked at Dugumou and asked, "Is the expedition related to Yanqi?" ”

Zhao Chen naturally heard about the arrival of the Yanqi envoy in Chang'an, but a small country like Yanqi in the Western Regions heard it, but he never went to his heart, but now listening to Dugumou's tone, it is obvious that the arrival of the Yanqi envoy this time must have brought something amazing!

"Of course, it's about Master Hou!" As soon as Dugu Mou said this, his eyes immediately became bright, and he felt like a complete warmonger.

Then, without waiting for Zhao Chen to ask again, Dugumou crackled, and told Zhao Chen what he knew and what he analyzed.

It turned out that the Yanqi envoy came to Chang'an this time, nominally to pay tribute, but the actual purpose was actually to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty, because there was a high-tech country next to the small country of Yanqi, and the soldiers were strong and strong, so Yanqi was often bullied by the Gaochang country.

In the past, there was no way, but now I heard that the Tang Dynasty is powerful, and they have done it to the male lord on the grassland, so the king of the Yanqi Kingdom moved his thoughts, and wanted to let the power of the Tang Dynasty extend to the Western Regions a little, no more, no less, just enough to suppress Gao Changguo.

But the old king's careful thinking, somehow, was learned by the Gao Changguo, which provoked the Gao Changguo, so the Yanqi small country was unlucky, and the people were angry, led the troops south, and completely crushed the Yanqi small country.

It's okay now, it was originally something that could be solved by cattle and sheep, but now it has completely become a blood feud, and it can only be resolved if you have to meet each other with swords and soldiers, and you can live or die!

"Do you think Your Majesty will go to great lengths for a small country like Yanqi?" Zhao Chen originally thought that this Yanqi envoy brought bad news about the mutation in the Western Regions, who knew that when he heard Dugu Mou say this, he even pouted and smiled, and asked Dugu Mou with mockery.

"I heard that His Majesty was very angry after listening to the envoy's words that day!" Seeing Zhao Chen's look of disdain, Dugu Mou was conscious, Li Er could not attack the Western Regions for the sake of such a small country as Yanqi, but when he thought so in his heart, he still said with a sly: "Besides, if it wasn't for the expedition, why did you suddenly recall the two old generals back to the palace?" ”

"Then who knows!" Hearing Dugumou's words, Zhao Chen, who was originally sitting on the stone bench, stood up, stretched his waist for a long time, smiled at Dugumou, dropped an ambiguous word, and turned around and walked towards the camp leisurely.

Dugu Mou was right, Li Er recalled the two old men to the palace so suddenly, naturally not for any reminiscence, but of course, it was not for the sake of a word from the elderly, so he planned to go to the Western Regions.

The expedition seems to be imminent, but it is not the Western Regions!

A few days ago, when I was in Lishan, I told Li Er about minerals, and it seems that this matter made Li Er unable to sleep at all, but whoever this kind of thing is replaced, probably can't sleep!

There are so many minerals hidden under the ground of Mobei, if this is in the territory of Datang, but it is Mobei, and there are still a few fierce tigers squatting on the side, or these tigers will be completely tamed, Li Er will never be able to sleep.

Sure enough, as Zhao Chen guessed, in the afternoon, as soon as Li Jing came out of the palace, he went straight to the new military camp, and as soon as he entered the barracks, he immediately put on a disgusting look of Yang Bailao at Zhao Chen.

“… Borrowed soldiers? Hearing Li Jing say that he wanted to borrow troops from him, Zhao Chen sat there in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until Li Jing blew his beard and glared at him, then he looked at Li Jing and asked a little stammering.

"There are also cannons, detailed maps..."Li Jing opened his mouth widely, not considering Zhao Chen's reaction at all, he stood opposite Zhao Chen, with a disgusting look that had been calculated a long time ago, and said to Zhao Chen without blushing.

"Do you want to beat Gu Hun?" Try not to think about borrowing troops first, Zhao Chen swallowed his saliva hard, looked at Li Jing with blank eyes, and asked tentatively.

“… Not bad! Hearing Zhao Chen's inquiry, Li Jing's brows furrowed slightly, but then he saw Zhao Chen put on an expression, if you don't tell the truth, then don't talk about it, so he had to sigh, sat down on the chair, nodded, and said.

Sure enough, hearing Li Jing's words, Zhao Chen suddenly smiled bitterly, it seems that he guessed well before, Li Er really couldn't sleep, so he was ready to make a move on Tuyuhun!

"There has to be a reason!" Undeclared war, unnamed, Datang is a dignified teacher of benevolence and righteousness, so naturally he will not provoke a war for no reason, so Zhao Chen especially wants to know what Li Er's reason is this time.

“… Tugu is stubborn and refuses to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty! Li Jing's words were loud and quite resolute, but unfortunately, Zhao Chen still saw a trace of embarrassment in the eyes of the old man.

"That's a good reason!" Hearing Li Jing's words, Zhao Chen suddenly covered his forehead with one hand, and muttered that he couldn't bear to look at it directly. He wondered, why is this kind of reason always used, can't it be changed to a new one?

"Don't talk nonsense, do you allow the old man to ask for it?" Being poked in front of him like this, no matter how thick-skinned Li Jing was, at this moment, he couldn't help but blush a little, so the next moment, he slapped the table and yelled at Zhao Chen.

"Borrow, borrow, you have opened your mouth, how dare you not borrow!" Li Jing was angry, and Zhao Chen said that he didn't want to touch his head, so he hurriedly followed Li Jing and said, "However, this has to be approved by His Majesty, right?" ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't agree, do you think the old man will come here to borrow troops without permission?" Li Jing's eyes were full of contempt for Zhao Chen, and after hearing Zhao Chen's words, he pouted and said with a smile.

"Okay, that's fine!" Since Li Er agreed, there is nothing to disagree with, as the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, not to mention, he has long been unaccustomed to Tuguhun.
