Text 268 Banquet in the East Palace

Wang Mingyuan pondered for a long time and continued: "If it is just a simple battle against Tocharo, Datang will naturally win. But if the white-clothed food hears the wind and participates in the battle of Tocharo, my Datang will attack, Tocharian and the white-clothed food will be the main defense, and the plateau is not conducive to our Tang army's battle, and the victory rate will probably only be thirty percent. ”

"Uh-huh, go on, what else?" Li Hong nodded, his mouth was humming, and he didn't say anything, and there was always that faint smile on his face.

"If I am the main defender of Datang and the main attack of Dashi in white, relying on the three important towns of Shule, Shaye and Khotan, my Datang will be ...... Hehe, this is needless to say, you personally participated in the construction of the iron wall, I think it is them joining forces, as long as we don't go wrong internally, they can't do anything about us. Wang Mingyuan said that in the end, he did not forget to praise the four towns of Anxi built by Li Hong.

"Yes, a war is not just determined by the outnumbering of troops, but by many factors, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, even if it is a sure victory, it may lead to the rout of the whole army because of a small fork. Now Anxi is not completely stable enough to provide all kinds of supplies to my Datang troops, so if you want to go on an expedition to Tochar, or even eat in white, it is a fool's dream now. Do you know what I mean? In the end, Li Hong asked a clueless question.

Wang Mingyuan was confused, I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, even if Datang faces the white-clothed food, there is no stable winning rate, but it has the power to fight, the offensive and defensive conversion is properly mobilized, plus the command of the famous general, the whole army is united, and Datang can at least get a fifty percent chance of winning.

However, he also had to admire Li Hong, who had achieved such a huge and proud record in Anxi, and now he did not have the slightest pride, he was still very cautious and modest, and some of the taboos on the battlefield were all calculated by him.

This made him admire from the bottom of his heart, such a general, he will not be complacent because of some military achievements, and he will not be complacent because of a few victories, this is a real famous general.

In this history, how many people have the conditions to become famous generals, but in the end, after a few victories, they began to flutter, and finally died on the battlefield, resulting in ruin.

But no matter what, he still didn't understand the last words of His Royal Highness the Prince, and why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so pessimistic, the confrontation between Datang and Dashi in white.

Li Hong looked at him with a somewhat dazed expression, and sighed silently in his heart, not in his position and not in his politics, Wang Mingyuan, as a general who led the army to fight, he only cares how to lead the troops and how to win the battle.

As for some of the emerging declines in the Tang Dynasty, including some undercurrents in the court, it is obvious that no military general can see or care about it.

As the saying goes, the angle of standing is different, and the vision of seeing the problem is also different. There is a huge difference in status between the two, and if they are not at the same height, they will naturally not be as thoughtful as him.

"Go to the military department to report, and take advantage of this time in Chang'an to accompany your wife and children and family." Li Hong waved his hand and let Wang Mingyuan leave.

Back in the Lizheng Hall again, Yiyang and Gao An were still there, Li Lingyue was already holding it in his hand, and when Li Hong was in Anxi, on a whim, he instructed a few cooks to bake the bread, and he was eating it there with relish.

"Give her less sweets, or she'll get worm teeth." Li Hong stroked Li Lingyue's little head, looked at Xia Zhi and said.

Yiyang and Gao An were naturally carrying a basket of freshly baked bread in their hands, and in the other hand, they were also holding a small teddy bear.

"I'll go to visit my mother in a few days, how are you doing now?" Li Hong sent the two to the door and asked.

"Okay. The queen mother is not very hostile to the mother concubine now, since this Taiji Palace was demolished by you, the father and the emperor are in the palace Nine Immortals Gate, to build a small courtyard, eat fasting and chant Buddha every day, quite idle, occasionally the father will go to see her, sometimes a sitting is more than an hour. Yiyang looked at Li Hong carefully again, and after going back for a while, he could tell his mother about Li Hong's changes.

"Starting tomorrow, let 'Jingwei' keep an eye on Belus and the others to see who they will contact in Chang'an." Li Hong put his arm around Bai Chun's shoulders and walked upstairs, followed by a little kid, naturally Li Lingyue.

In the next few days, Li Hong was a rare leisure and indulgence, except for going to Daming Palace early the next morning to greet Li Zhi and his mother, and then talking with Li Zhi in the study for more than an hour.

The rest of the time, the cat has been in the East Palace, and he doesn't go there, let alone interact with other people. But if you don't come and go, naturally someone will look for your Royal Highness the Prince.

So in the past few days, Li Hong has been drunk and dreaming of death every day, whether it is Xue Rengui or Heiya Changzhi, or other generals who went west with him, they were all invited to a banquet by Li Hong in the East Palace.

And this banquet naturally made the courtiers nervous, afraid that the father would suspect that the prince would be suspected of winning over the generals.

But fortunately, on the court the next day, Li Zhi greeted Xue Rengui and others with a smile, and talked about yesterday's banquet in the East Palace, and the ministers understood that His Majesty also went yesterday.

After the military generals of Wenchen who followed Li Hong on the westward expedition left, Li Xian and others were ushered in in the East Palace on the second day.

Li Shangjin, King of Ze, Li Sujie, King Xu, Li Xian and Li Zhe, as well as the eight-year-old fat man Li Dan, including Yiyang and Gao An, came together.

Li Shangjin is already twenty-four years old, and Li Sujie is now twenty-two years old, because Li Hong returned to Chang'an, he was approved by Li Zhi and rushed back from their respective fiefdoms.

The two also knew that if it weren't for Li Hong, I am afraid that at this time, their father would not allow them to enter Chang'an City.

As for Li Zhong, all the people were surprisingly unanimous in ignoring them, and no one asked Li Hong why the boss Li Zhong didn't come.

It's Li Zhi, Li Hong was in his study two days ago, and he didn't ask Li Zhong how he was.

Li Zhong seemed to have become a taboo in the royal family, and when he heard Li Hong say that Shangguan Minyue suddenly woke up and wanted to keep filial piety for Mrs. Rongguo, he also nodded silently, signaling that he knew, and did not continue to ask.

Originally, there was Li Lingyue's little guy who wanted to follow him to the East Palace, but since Li Hong drank with Xue Rengui and others yesterday, and his whole body was full of alcohol, Li Lingyue had a headache when he smelled it.

pouted and said that he wanted to go back to the palace to complain to the queen mother, today, after knowing that there was still a banquet in the East Palace, under Wu Mei's inquiry, Li Lingyue's head shook like a rattle in her hand, and she said that she would not go.

The mouth kept saying: "The smell of wine on the little rabbit cub is not good, and those who can smoke have a headache, and they can't open their eyes." ”

Wu Mei was amused, and asked again and again: "You called him a little rabbit cub, but he didn't clean you up?" ”

"He said that it was the affectionate name given to him by his father and mother, but he didn't let me shout, but I also wanted to call him a little rabbit like my father and mother, and I ...... cluck." Li Lingyue replied to Wu Mei's words, but before she finished speaking, she first leaned her neck and giggled.

How could Li Lingyue not know that the little rabbit cub was a vicious name for Li Hong by his father and mother, and now in the face of Wu Mei's inquiry, he naturally couldn't pretend to be able to do so, and he was the first to laugh out loud.

"Your little bit of hell, be careful that he knows to spank you." Wu Mei glanced at the ghost spirit with pity, this little thing was very similar to Li Hong when he was a child, the same smart and clever, the same naughty and mischievous.

Wu Mei didn't dare to imagine that if Li Lingyue was also a prince, would there be one more rabbit cub in this Daming Palace.

Li Lingyue is not afraid of Wu Mei's warning, she knows that the imperial brother loves her very much, so he will not beat her, not to mention that she still has the support of her father and mother, as long as she cries, she will not know which little rabbit cub will be beaten at that time.

I didn't know at all that in the Daming Palace, Li Hong, who was being calculated by a little guy, walked with Li Shangjin and Li Sujie in the back garden.

And Li Xian, Li Zhe and Li Dan, the three of them were attracted by the gifts that Li Hong brought back from the Western Regions, and shouted that Li Hong should go for a few more years and bring more things back.

In the end, Li Hong rewarded each of the three of them with a brain melon scoop, and then motioned for Li Shangjin and Li Sujie to come out, accompanied by only Hua Meng and Mangzhong, the three of them walked slowly in the garden where there were no flowers or green leaves.

Li Shangjin and Li Sujie are both married, and the princess they obtained is the daughter of a local official, and they do not have a deep family background.

This is also in line with the character of Li Shangjin, who has always been serious, after all, among the princes, Li Shangjin was born to a palace man, and since he was a child, he has always been very low-key and cautious, so in the matter of choosing a concubine, he still specially asked Li Zhi, hoping to try his best to be simple.

Li Zhi is not high-profile, how can he not understand such a thing, so Li Shangjin's marriage just follows the prince's etiquette, without extravagance and luxury.

Li Sujie is slightly stronger than him, and Li Zhi originally wanted to choose a concubine for Li Sujie from his mother's Lanling Xiao family.

But after a conversation with Concubine Xiao Shu, he changed his mind, and he still helped select a princess for Li Su from among the local officials.

But fortunately, the two of them did not dislike it, and now they are living very happily, and with Li Hong's business care, they are also living very comfortably in their fiefdom.

"Just the two of you coming back by yourself? The two imperial sisters-in-law were thrown into the fiefdom by you? Li Hong glared and walked between the two, now he was more than half a head taller than everyone else.

The "nest" in the royal family doesn't know how to grow, only he is the tallest, plus he has been fighting in the Western Regions for many years, and now he is standing side by side with several other princes, in Li Chunfeng's words, the dragon and phoenix among the people are also.

Li Shangjin and Li Sujie looked at Li Hong with some surprised eyes, and at the same time involuntarily smiled and shook their heads.
