Chapter 308: Art Troupe

Chang'an City, East Palace.

Since Duheshang's princess Yangcheng, because of identity issues, Tian Zhen has never appeared outside with Yangcheng. When it comes to the origin of the three evils, Tian Zhen is even deeper.

On this day, not long after Princess Yangcheng left, Tian Zhen also came to the East Palace.

"Brother Su, is there any news from Duhe?" Tian Zhen asked.

Li Su said: "Yes, this time the third brother has made a great contribution again. ”

Du He really made a great contribution this time.

That night, Du He led the Flying Tiger Army to defeat the city of Shuozhou, annihilating 6,000 Goguryeo troops and seizing the supply base of the Goguryeo army. Not only that, but there are also unexpected gains.

The commander of the Goguryeo front, the boy of General Zuo Xiaowei, was the son of the de facto ruler of Goguryeo, Quangai Suwen, who happened to stay in the city of Shuozhou that day and was captured by the Flying Tiger Army.

Li Su continued: "Here is a letter for you. As he spoke, he took out Du He's letter to Tian Zhen from the drawer.

Du He is very careful in dealing with the relationship between Yangcheng and Tian Zhen, in order to take care of the emotions of the two ladies, he treats them separately and tries to balance them psychologically. When he went out, he didn't write letters and send them back to the house directly, but handed them over to Li Su to forward them first, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Du He followed Li Su all day long, and learned a lot of his meaty words to deal with women, and Tian Zhen was red-faced. Fortunately, she kept her head down when she read the letter, and it didn't make her feel embarrassed.

After reading the letter, Tian Zhen said: "Brother Su, Du He often goes on expeditions, can you persuade him not to always rush to the front?" "She actually wanted to say if she could not let Du Ho go to war again.

Li Su said: "Okay, after this conquest of Goguryeo, I will transfer him to the military department and prevent him from leading the troops directly." "He really has this idea, and he wants to change the environment for Du He, after all, the Flying Tiger Army is bound to fight.

Tian Zhen said very gratefully: "Then thank you." ”

After Tian Zhen left, Li Su always thought about what he could do for the Eastern Expeditionary Army, he thought about the form of war organization in later generations, his eyes lit up, and he ordered: "Yang Kang, prepare the car, go to the military academy." ”

After meeting Li Xiaogong at the Military Academy, Li Su told Li Xiaogong what he thought. Li Xiaogong said: "It's a good idea, but I'm going to break the bank." ”

Li Su smiled and said, "Father-in-law, who made you a rich man?" ”

Li Xiaogong smiled: "It's okay, you have to compensate me, right?" ”

Li Su smiled and said, "How about 100 Goguryeo beauties?" ”

Li Xiaogong smiled: "It's done." ”

A month later, the Korean Peninsula, the city of Soju.

After the Eastern Expeditionary Army crossed the Yalu River, Li Shimin advanced with the army, but was dissuaded by Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and others, and stayed in Shuozhou City. By this time, the army had advanced to the vicinity of Pyongyang, and the decisive battle was about to begin.

On this day, Li Shimin and others were discussing in the headquarters. Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, the Goguryeo people are quite capable of fighting, during this time, although the Eastern Expeditionary Army has made progress, the losses are not small, and the morale of the officers and soldiers is a little low." ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Yes, the battle has been fought for almost 4 months, it is normal for the soldiers to be tired, seeing that the war is imminent, we must find a way to boost morale." ”

Wei Chigong said: "This is easy to do, improve the food for the soldiers, drink some wine before going into battle, and the morale will go up." ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "This is the old way, the food of the Eastern Expeditionary Army has always been good, this trick is not very effective." ”

Li Shimin said: "I have to think of a way to boost morale." What are your ideas? ”

For a while, we couldn't think of a better way.

At this moment, someone outside came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Yangcheng and the crown princess are here." ”

Li Shimin was a little puzzled, and said in his heart: "What are they doing here at this time?" He said, "Let them in." ”

After a while, Princess Yangcheng and the crown princess's concubine Wu Su came in.

Soon, Li Shimin figured out their intentions.

It turned out that the crown prince Li Su remembered the practice of organizing a condolence group to the front line to labor in the rear during the war in the later generations, so he organized a large number of materials and sent them to the front line. This is not the most critical, he organized a art troupe and went to the front line to give a condolence performance.

The art troupe is mainly composed of stars in Li Xiaogong's entertainment city, as well as the original princesses and kabuki of the aristocratic families in the Western Regions and Linyi, plus the band, a total of more than 300 people.

In order to improve the grade of the art troupe, Li Su specially sent his newlywed wife Wu Cong to lead the team. After Princess Yangcheng heard about it, she missed Du He and wanted to follow, so the art troupe was headed by Yangcheng and Wu Cong as the chief and deputy heads and came to the front line.

In the afternoon of that day, in the hall of the former Goguryeo General's Palace, Li Shimin and others watched the performance of the art troupe, and thousands of officers and soldiers also enjoyed the wonderful performance.

The first program of the performance is still the Qin King Breaking Array Music. Then, Yang Cheng and Wu Cong took the lead and sang a song "The Fifteenth Moon" that swept China in the 80s.

The fifteenth moon shines on my hometown and on the border,

In the quiet night, you also miss, and I miss;

You stand by the baby's cradle, and I patrol the border of the motherland;

You are cultivating the farmland in your hometown, and I am on duty at the frontier.

Ah, in the fruit of the harvest there is your sweetness, and there is also my sweetness;

Military merit medals, there are half of me, and half of you.

You honor your parents and work hard, and I dedicate myself to the motherland at the cost of blood and sweat;

You are the responsibility of the whole family, and I am defending the country's security.

Ah, the prosperity of the motherland has your contribution and mine;

The reunion of all families is my wish and yours.

Ahh

This song, for the front-line soldiers, is really too apt, and it deeply touched the hearts of the soldiers. Many soldiers shed tears.

Soon, this song swept the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army, and then swept the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty.

Next, the art troupe performed various programs, all of which were welcomed by the soldiers. In particular, the performances of the stars of the entertainment city opened the eyes of the soldiers.

After a performance at the headquarters of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the performance of the art troupe was well received by the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, especially Her Royal Highness the Princess and the prince's newlywed wife came to the front line to express their condolences, which made the soldiers very moved and their morale greatly boosted.

In accordance with Li Su's request, after soliciting Li Shimin's opinion, the performance team was divided into groups of 50 people and dispersed to various units on the front line to perform.

Li Shimin hummed in his mouth:

"The fifteenth moon shines on my hometown, shines on the border, and on a quiet night, you miss it too, and I miss it...... he said: "The prince is really not simple, he can write such lyrics and compose such a tune, it's really good." ”

Li Jing said: "Yes, this song, the old minister is excited as soon as he sings it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a great talent." ”

On this day, Princess Yangcheng came to the station of the Flying Tiger Army, and Du He was overjoyed.
