Then Li Shimin ignored the public opinion, did not choose to recuperate, but asked Chai Shao to lead Li Yuanba and the Xuanjia Army to send troops to conquer Liu Wuzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Princess Pingyang's main task at this time was to defend Shanxi, the base camp of the Li family, and stationed at Weize Pass on the Mianshan Mountain in the northeast of Pingding County, Shanxi, which is now Niangzi Pass.

While paying attention to the situation in Shanxi, Lao Cheng arranged for the army to prepare for the expedition. Not long after Li Yuan raised his army; Cheng Yanjin and Li Jing had finished discussing and decided to send Qin Qiong to Pyongyang to spy on Goguryeo and Baekje with Zhang Shigui and Laiquan.

transferred Zhang Ding back from Dengzhou to Jinan; He worshipped Li Jing as the general manager of the march, and led Kan Ling, Xiong Kuohai, Han Shige, Niu Tong, Duan Zhixuan, Luo Shixin, Liang Shitai, Dongfang Yumei, Zhang Chuchen, Xie Xiang, Dong Yihu, Black and White Second Lady, Wang Wendu and others and 50,000 troops to Liaodong to prepare to enter the grassland.

The army sacrificed heaven and earth and set off on a certain day, they went to Liaodong from the sea, and then the first stop was to go to Liucheng.

Here Luo Song and his son were stationed, knowing that they were coming, Luo Song took his son to the intersection ten miles away to greet them. Cheng Zhijie saw the two of them from a distance, and hurriedly urged the smoke cloud cover to rush to meet each other.

When Luo Song's father and son saw it, they hurriedly flew off their horses, bowed down and saluted: "See the Demon King Chitose!" Cheng Zhijie also got off the horse, and said with a sinking face: "Yongnian, this is your mistake, why are you still polite to me?" ”

Luo Song said with a smile: "The lord of the Demon King Country, we are taken by the momentum and have to bow our heads. Cheng Zhijie smiled: "Nonsense! I'll just say it! There is no benefit in being this demon king, and the brothers are estranged from me. Alas! It's better not to do it. ”

Luo Song smiled: "The demon king doesn't have to sigh, you often tell us that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility; You are a capable person! King, we have set up a banquet in the city, please wait with me into the city! ”

"Alright! There's really no way to take you, go! Town! I can't compare to the gun god Luo Yongnian in the wheel of martial arts, and I want to find some dignity in the wine field today. The crowd laughed.

Luo Lian stepped forward and said, "Uncle Cheng, I heard that you have played a great role in Siming Mountain this time, and even the invincible general of Tianbao has been abolished by you." ”

Cheng Zhijie smiled: "Drink, it's really fast enough, even you have heard of it?" Luo Song nodded and said, "Yes!" The Demon King's martial arts are really increasing day by day, and I'm afraid I won't be your opponent in a few years. ”

Cheng Zhijie shook his head and said, "You don't need to hold me, I know my ability; You are one, Li Yuanba is one, I am beyond my reach. ”

Luo Jian said: "Yes! I also heard that Yuanba hammered the Eighteen Kingdoms and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, Uncle Cheng tell me about it! Let me be happy too! Cheng Zhijie agreed, and told what he had seen and heard in Siming Mountain.

A few people came to Liuzhou City while talking, Luo Song had already set up a banquet, invited everyone to sit down, and then raised a glass and drank happily.

After three rounds of drinking, Luo Lian came over again and said: "Uncle Cheng, I salute you, I wish you a successful start and success!" Cheng Zhijie agreed to have a drink with him.

Luo Jian said: "Uncle Cheng, I'm about to rust in Liucheng, take me with you when you go to the grassland this time!" Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "I heard along the way, you killed the thieves in Liaodong in fear, everyone said that there is a king of Luoyan in Liucheng, so I can't be happy." And say you're about to rust? ”

Luo Lian pouted and said: "These thieves and grass cowards are not worth a fight, and I also want to fight with a general like Yuwen Chengdu." ”

Luo Song also said to Cheng Zhijie: "Demon King Chitose, take him with you when you go out once, so that he doesn't know the height of the sky; Underestimate the heroes of the world. ”

Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "Okay, what am I asking for?" But Luo Song, your requirements for Luo Lian are too strict. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old after all, and he was still a child; I'm still ignorant at his age, and I'm fighting with others in the turtledove shop? ”

Luo Song smiled slightly and said: "The Demon King Chitose is a late bloomer, who can make such a great achievement in just four years like you." ”

The crowd nodded in agreement; Cheng Zhijie shook his head and said, "Okay! Don't talk about me, I'll take Luo Lian away, and Liaodong will leave it all to you. ”

Hearing this, Luo Song nodded and said, "Demon King, please rest assured!" Now the situation in Liaodong is very good; This year's harvest is a bumper harvest, and people are praising the kindness of the demon king Chitose; Qi Yu Taishou and General Zhu Guo are also organizing people to take advantage of the slack to repair water conservancy, everyone is very busy, and there will be no problems. ”

Cheng Zhijie nodded and said, "Very good; I'll go see Qi Yu in two days. Talk to him about the situation in Liaodong. It's a mixed bag; Hermes-Epitek has a very low percentage; Governance is different from Shandong, and our first thing to do is to maintain stability.

Luo Song, there are still many aliens here, their living habits are very different from ours, and some of their behaviors are even barbaric in our eyes. But I hope we can respect other people's habits.

I hope you and Qi Yu will cooperate well to stabilize the situation. As long as there is no chaos, with the powerful assimilation power of our Confucianism, we will definitely be able to assimilate them. ”

Luo Song nodded and said, "Don't worry, Demon King, I will do my best!" Cheng Zhijie patted him on the shoulder to express comfort; Then they stayed here for two days before heading to Liaodong.

After autumn, the land outside the pass is cold very quickly, and the pass is full of life, and it is already a bleak place; Li Jing guarded here for more than half a year, and he spread his hands and began to go to various places in Liaodong to understand the survival of the people, and then help everyone prepare for the winter.

Zhu Guo also applied for the help of the regular army to clear out several habitual bandits in the vicinity, which greatly improved the public order situation in Liaodong.

After living in Liaodong for a while, Shi Danai, who had been going deep into the grassland, finally led the Fengzi Master back to Liaodong. With the identity and generous commitment of Prince Stanai, as well as people's yearning for a better life; There were only 10,000 people when the Wind Character Master set out, and by the time he returned, it had doubled. And they are followed by a large number of refugees-like herders.

Cheng Zhijie personally led the troops to greet me Shi Danai, and at this time, the big-bellied Heavenly King's fluffy beard almost covered his entire face, and the previous big-bellied disappeared.

Cheng Zhijie urged the horse to come to Shi Danai's face, hammered him with his fist and said: "Danai, it's stronger, the big-bellied king in the past has really become a mighty king." ”

Shi Danai hurriedly jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground and said, "The last general, Shi Danai, see the Demon King Chitose." ”

Cheng Zhijie got off the horse and helped him up and said: "Da Nai, we met in Weimo, you and I don't have to be so polite!" Are these your people? Let's go, come with me to see it! ”

Shi Danai said: "Most of these were once my tribal herdsmen, and some of them were people who couldn't survive on the grassland; They are all willing to follow me to Liaodong to survive. But they are not my people, but your people. ”

Cheng Zhijie smiled and didn't say anything, he walked through the refugees, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, while asking Qi Yu to arrange the lives of these people.

When they returned to Liaodong City, everyone sat down one after another; Cheng Zhijie asked Shi Danai: "Da Nai, you are a Turk, I want to create chaos in the steppe and contain the power of the Turks; What can you teach me. ”

Shi Danai said with a straight face: "Demon King, now the army led by Jieli Khan has gone south to prepare to invade the Central Plains; In order to prevent the son of Shibi Khan, who was stationed in the east, from stirring up trouble, he also took him to join the army in battle. As a result, most of the remaining soldiers in the rear were old and weak, and the defense was empty.

Chitose, the last general is willing to lead a sentry to take the Turkic holy mountain Yudujin Mountain, Jieli will definitely return to the army when he hears that the old nest is destroyed, and it is impossible to invade the Central Plains again. ”

Cheng Zhijie nodded when he heard the words and said, "Da Nai's words are even more in line with my intentions!" Third brother, I am going to be led by you to lead the army out of the upper valley into the grassland, and Shi Danai and I will lead 3,000 elite wind character divisions, one person and three horses to raid Dujin Mountain. ”

Everyone exploded as soon as they heard this, and Shi Danai was the first to shout: "No, the demon king is a thousand years old, how can he risk his life, as long as the last general goes, it is enough!" The Demon King should move with the army! ”

Li Jing also hurriedly persuaded: "What Danai said is right. Zhijie, you are different now, and millions of people in our Great Demon Kingdom are pointing at you? ”

Dongfang Yumei said: "If you go, I will go too; Don't try to get me out of the way anyway. ”

Cheng Zhijie smiled, and when he saw everyone's anger, he said: "Don't be impatient, I know that everyone is for my good, but I am not good at this, and I am very good at charging into battle; So let me play to my strengths!

Besides, I'm a jack-of-all-trades, a few years ago I was a worthless stupid boy; The Great Demon Kingdom can function normally with or without me. I've made up my mind, so don't persuade you.

And Yumei, you don't have to follow me; This time was different from previous battles; It is inconvenient for you to follow us men, and besides, we will eat the enemy along the way, and we must do a lot of cruel things, so as not to pollute your eyes and heart. ”

Seeing that everyone still objected, Cheng Zhijie sank his face and said, "What's the matter? Don't even listen to me? This is an order, everyone is ready to carry it out! ”

Everyone reluctantly agreed, and then began to arrange the expedition. After the meeting, a large group of people surrounded Shi Danai, and asked him to ensure the safety of the demon king Chitose.

Shi Danai smiled bitterly: "Rest assured, generals! Unless I'm dead, no one can lift a finger of the Demon King. ”

Everyone was still not at ease, and they were instructed for a long time before slowly dispersed. When Luo Jian saw that everyone was leaving, he went to find Liang Shitai of the trapped brigade; The trapping brigade is the descendant of the Great Demon Kingdom, and Cheng Zhijie's henchman Liang Shitai will definitely follow him.
