Although the crown prince Zhao Huan promised to help Li Yanqing solve the problem of war horses, but things will not be so fast, with Zhao Huan's caution, he will never blindly do this, he will at least find a chance to talk to the breeder before it is possible to start to solve it, Li Yanqing knows in his heart that this matter will wait at least ten days and half a month before there will be eyebrows.

Early the next morning, Li Yanqing came to the Shuai tent, and a personal soldier took him into the Shuai tent, and the planter Dao Zheng wrote something on the desk, and asked without raising his head: "Did you drink too much last night?" ”

"A few drinks, lowly duty"

Li Yanqing hesitated and said, "It seems to be in violation." ”

Seed Master Dao looked up at Li Yanqing, shook his head and said, "There is no violation, your appointment will only take effect today." ”

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, yesterday was a treat from His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is not okay to be humble and not drink."

"I know!"

The breeder said lightly: "He told me, said that when you come back, I will invite you to have a glass of wine, I guess he invited you last night, if I guess correctly, you also mentioned the war horse last night!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded and frankly admitted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised to help me solve it." ”

Seed Master Dao sat up straight, and the smile on his face disappeared, "You don't believe me? ”

"I don't disbelieve Dashuai, but Dashuai has never mentioned the lack of horses to the prince, is there any other way to solve it?"

"Yes! In addition to the crown prince, I can find another person who can solve this matter satisfactorily. ”

Li Yanqing hesitated, "Do you dare to ask who it is?" ”

Seed Master Dao pointed at Li Yanqing with his finger, "You! ”

Li Yanqing's heart suddenly felt relieved, "Dashuai has been waiting for me to go back to solve this matter?" ”

"I didn't wait for you, but I know you can fix it."

The seed master laughed, "Just like I know that the prince will definitely win you over, give him this favor!" ”

"I am ashamed of my humble position, and I actually crossed the marshal and made my own decisions."

"You can know that you are overstepping your authority, it shows that you are in your right mind, I may have cared ten years ago, but now I don't have the energy to think about such a thing."

The seed master smiled and continued: "On the battlefield, you will not slack off, and you will only be a famous general, just like me, I am only a famous general in this life, the old breed strategy, I succeeded on the battlefield, but I failed in the officialdom, I don't want you to be only a famous general, you have the quality and foundation that I don't have, you can change from a general to a general, govern an army for a general, and a country for a minister, understand what I mean?" ”

Li Yanqing nodded silently, "Thank you for your careful cultivation!" ”

"Go ahead! I will find a way to get the cavalry you need, and the war horses will be up to you. ”

Li Yanqing bowed, turned around and withdrew from the big tent, and the seed master Dao picked up the pen and continued to write his preparation report.

Five days have passed, but there is no news about the war horse, this afternoon, Li Yanqing was sitting alone in the big tent in a daze, Yang Liang rushed over, and said urgently: "Join the army-"

Li Yanqing glanced at him, and Yang Liang hurriedly changed his words, "Report to the commander, the king of the big camp is here." ”

Li Yanqing patted his head, he had been worried about the war horse in the past few days, and he had forgotten Wang Gui and them, Li Yanqing hurriedly got up and walked quickly to the outside of the camp.

Outside the camp, Yue Fei and Wang Gui were in high spirits, with a smile on their faces, Li Yanqing walked out of the camp gate and said with a smile: "Let me guess, you are here to report the good news!" ”

Wang Gui's ha! "He guessed, I'm right!" ”

Li Yanqing stepped forward and punched him, "It's all written all over my face, can I not guess?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Tang Huaixing rushed and said: "Lao Li, we have all been admitted to the martial arts, have a drink with us and celebrate!" ”

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said to the four of them: "Wait a while, I have to ask for a leave of absence before I can leave the camp." ”

Li Yanqing walked quickly towards the camp, and after a while, he rushed out of the camp gate and said, "Let's go!" I'm in for a treat tonight. ”

The five of them came to the Eight Immortal Buildings near Fengqiu Gate, which is also one of the top ten restaurants in Bianjing, famous for Tianxian wine, Li Yanqing asked for a table of sumptuous dishes, and said to the bartender: "Two pots of Tianxian wine, and another pot of good tea!" ”

"Lao Li, two pots of wine are too little."

Wang Gui shouted: "Each of us can drink at least one pot." ”

"Then there are four pots, one for each of you."

"Lao Li, can't you drink?" Yue Fei suddenly asked.

Li Yanqing nodded and said apologetically: "The marshal allowed me to come to the party with you, but he didn't say that I was allowed to drink, the military regulations are strict, I'm sorry, I can only use tea instead of wine to toast everyone today." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Gui asked, "What happens if you drink?" ”

"The first time there was a hundred rods, a major demerit was recorded, the second time was directly dismissed, and the third time was beheaded to show the public."

"Fuck, so harsh?"

Li Yanqing smiled faintly and said: "So you have to think about it, if you want to participate in the battle against the Liangshan Army, you must accept the strict military regulations." ”

Tang Huai gritted his teeth and said, "I must participate, I want to avenge my grandfather!" ”

"Lao Li, I also want to participate, how to sign up?" Niu Gao was also determined to follow Li Yanqing.

"If you want to participate, it will probably be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I estimate that tomorrow is more likely, General Zong Lao will go to the martial arts school to recruit people, you sign up on the spot, and then the various procedures of the Privy Council will be handled for you."

"Can we stay with you, then?" Wang Gui asked anxiously.

"Of course you can do this, just make it clear when you sign up, I'm a cavalry Xuanwu battalion."

"Not the Intelligence Division?" Tang Huai was stunned.

Li Yanqing shook his head, "The marshal no longer lets me be in charge of the Intelligence Department." ”

Tang Huai's face showed a look of disappointment, he was bent on entering the Intelligence Department, he was full of expectations, but now his heart suddenly became extremely depressed.

Li Yanqing understood Tang Huai's mood, he took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "If Ah Tang wants to enter the Intelligence Department, I can fight for you, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

Tang Huai got up and saluted, "Everything has the help of Brother Lao Xian." ”

At this time, several bartenders began to serve them wine and food, Li Yanqing filled each person with a glass of wine, and he poured himself a cup of tea, he raised his glass and said with a smile: "Congratulations to everyone who has passed the martial arts examination, and then I wish everyone a new future, come!" We've toasted it! ”

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses together.

．．．．．．．

At this moment, in the Liangyi Hall of Yanfu Palace, Zhao Ji, the Son of Heaven, was asking the prince Zhao Huan about the preparations for war, and just this afternoon, urgent news came from Jingxi Road that the Liangshan Army had successively captured Yanzhou, Puzhou, Qizhou and Zizhou, and most of the Jingxi Road fell into the hands of the Liangshan Army.

Just yesterday, news also came from the southeast, the Fang La rebellion army captured Quzhou, killed Zhizhou Peng Rufang, nearly 100,000 troops are besieging Yuezhou, the situation in Yuezhou is precarious, the situation in Hangzhou is turbulent, and a large number of people have fled to Suzhou.

On the one hand, he ordered to increase troops to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and ordered Chen Jian to lead 10,000 troops to support Yuezhou, but he also knew that the Jiangnan Forbidden Army had suppressed bandits for many years, but he had never been able to exterminate Fang La, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to count on them again, otherwise the entire Jiangnan would be lost.

Zhao Ji temporarily gave up the plan to destroy the Liao State, and urgently transferred the Shaanxi Luxiang Commander to Liu Yanqing to lead 50,000 Northwest Army to Jiangnan to suppress the bandits.

In the Liangyi Palace, Zhao Ji paced back and forth with his hands in his hands, Fang La and Song Jiang's rebellion annoyed him a lot, and he couldn't wait to immediately order the seed master to send troops to Yunzhou to suppress the bandits, but the crown prince Zhao Huan brought him news that made him extremely angry.

"It has been half a month since my father issued the decree, but the preparation for war is not ideal, as of today, only 15,000 people of 30,000 troops are in place, less than half of the money and food should be allocated, the armor is not complete, the shadow of the warship that was said to be good is gone, there is not even a war horse in the barracks, the heralds can only run to give orders, and the scouts cannot be formed at all."

Zhao Ji was upset, and when he heard the news, he was immediately furious, pointing at Gao Shen, Gao Yu and several Xiangguo and scolding: "How did I explain to you, and how did you agree, it has been half a month now, there are not enough soldiers, money and food, and horses, what are your intentions!" ”

The ministers were so frightened that their faces were like earth, and they knelt down one after another, "The ministers are guilty!" ”

The anger in Zhao Ji's heart became more and more intense, and he shouted: "I will give you three more days, no!" Tomorrow before dark, all the soldiers, money, food, armor, and horses will be in place, and whoever dares to be a moment late will take off his official hat with my own hands, and his children and grandchildren will never be hired, now get out of the business immediately, get out quickly! ”

Zhao Ji was almost mad, picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it at the ministers, so frightened that the ministers crawled out of the main hall.

Zhao Huan knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, Zhao Ji flicked his sleeves, stood up and rushed away angrily.

Zhao Huan knew in his heart that in fact, the real person responsible for delaying the preparation for the war was his father, if it weren't for the continuous bad news, I am afraid that my father would continue to drag on, and now his father is also anxious, but he put the responsibility on the important ministers, Zhao Huan couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, why do you always know that you are in a hurry when things are coming?
