~~~~~~

After pondering for a moment, Li Yuanqing quietly and respectfully bowed his hand and said: "Being able to serve the emperor is the blessing of the ministers and the blessings of the sons." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled faintly: "Li Shuai, actually, in fact, there is no need for us to be so angry. Li Shuai, I'm you~~, I grew up. ”

As he spoke, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Li Yuanqing with a slight meaning.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly knelt on the ground respectfully, "Your Majesty, the minister is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty." He is also the emperor's courtier. Serve the emperor, share worries for the emperor, and the ministers are duty-bound! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with Li Yuanqing's attitude, and hurriedly helped Li Yuanqing up, and said with a smile: "Li Shuai, look~~, didn't you say it just now?" Between us, we don't have to be so restrained. I know that General Zhang Sanshun and all the generals are Li Shuai's arms. Therefore, I decided to return these people to Li Shuai. ”

Li Yuanqing was also a little confused about Emperor Chongzhen's intentions for a while, so he hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully: "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Huh."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, tiptoed, patted Li Yuanqing's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Li Shuai, I know that General Zhang Sanshun's generals and soldiers are all warriors who have really been on the battlefield. Instead of letting them suppress their temperament and do some trivial things in the Beijing Division, why not reassign them to Li Shuai's command and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, like a fish in water? ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly bowed his head respectfully, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's next words.

Emperor Chongzhen walked to the front with a smile, turned around again, and looked into Li Yuanqing's eyes: "Li Shuai, between us, it has not been a day or two. I~~, I just want to ask you one word. I hope Li Shuai can make it clear to me and don't have any deception. ”

Li Yuanqing said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please ask." The minister will know everything, and he will say everything. ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Li Shuai, I dare to ask Li Shuai, how long will it take to completely quell the troubles of the Liaodi Jiannu?" ”

As if he was afraid that this sentence would be too blunt, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly added: "Li Shuai, you also know that the huge amount of Liao salary and the deficit of the treasury are difficult now." ”

Li Yuanqing also understood Emperor Chongzhen's intentions at this time.

Why, he would use the people of Shunzi as a lure for this conversation, feelings~~, the problem is here......

Could it be that Inspector Yuan, who 'resigned', has already begun to write to Emperor Chongzhen?

Or, Emperor Chongzhen himself wants to solve all the problems in the shortest possible time......

Seeing Li Yuanqing groaning, Emperor Chongzhen was also very nervous, and looked at Li Yuanqing carefully.

He needs Li Yuanqing, a truly majestic general, to give him an 'answer' to this question.

Li Yuanqing naturally noticed the expectation in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, and after planning for a moment, Li Yuanqing said slowly: "Your Majesty, this matter ~, some of it is too huge, and the minister can't completely explain it for a while." If the emperor has to be a minister~~, give an answer of time. The minister thought about it, maybe five years, maybe ten years, or fifteen years, twenty years. If the emperor can give more support to Liaodi, the ministers think about it, between five and ten years, the whole Jiannu disaster, the situation will be clear. ”

"Five to ten years?"

Emperor Chongzhen was obviously a little disappointed, but for a moment, there was a glint in his eyes, Li Yuanqing said five to ten years, and it doesn't have to be ten years, maybe, five years is enough.

"Li Shuai, do you feel that at this time, in Liaodi, what is the biggest problem in launching a war against the Houjin army, or rather, what do I need to do the most?"

…………

When Li Yuanqing left the palace, it was already noon. Emperor Chongzhen even specially invited Li Yuanqing to a lunch.

However, although Emperor Chongzhen showed enough respect for Li Yuanqing, and all aspects of the problem were also very orderly, Li Yuanqing still had a bad premonition in his heart.

The temperament of this little emperor ......

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but think of history, he ...... He refused to admit his mistake until he died......

Walking out of the palace gate, Shunzi and others, together with Yang Lei and his own soldiers, have already converged.

Seeing Li Yuanqing come out, a group of people hurriedly greeted him, and they were all overjoyed.

Shunzi is even more like a tired bird returning to the forest, although this guy has a neat mustache, but the excited look is still like a child back then, hehe smiled: "Brother." ”

Li Yuanqing glanced around, smiled and punched Junzi's chest, and then hammered a few punches in the chests of several old soldiers one by one, and said with a smile: "Are all the brothers together?" ”

Junko hurriedly smiled: "There are still dozens of brothers in the handover. By evening at the latest, it should be in order. Brother, we should have 200 people, but there are 200 people. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

After speaking, he took the lead in getting into the carriage.

Junzi hurriedly followed behind Li Yuanqing and got into the carriage.

As the carriage started slowly, the familiar rhythm of horses' hooves sounded, and Junzi completely relaxed, and hurriedly whispered: "Brother, how is the situation when you enter the palace this time?" ”

Li Yuanqing shook his head undeniably, "It's not good, it's not bad." Junko, these days, have you offended the new emperor? Or, is there something that makes him look bad? ”

Junzi hurriedly said: "Brother, this, this can't be, right?" He is the emperor, how dare the brothers disobey the emperor's will? Brother~, to put it bluntly. These days, except before he ascended the throne, our brethren were in the palace to protect his safety. For the rest of the day, the brethren were like his bodyguards, who looked at it but did not use it. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, and after a moment, he patted Junzi's shoulder with a smile: "Don't think about anything." Just come back. Tonight, brother will give you and the brothers a pick-up! ”

…………

Back to the Fog and Rain Pavilion, arranged for Shunzi and his party to rest at the Sanfu Inn, Li Yuanqing had just returned to the backyard of the Fog and Rain Pavilion, Yang Jiao ~ Niang quickly greeted him, and whispered in Li Yuanqing's ear: "Yuanqing, this afternoon, the prince came over again." He, he said, if it is inconvenient for us here, we can not rush to open the business first, we can spend more time and prepare well. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, and wrapped his big hand around Yang Jiao~Niang's slender waist, "Let's go, go back to the house and talk." ”

Yang Jiao~ Mother hurriedly followed Li Yuanqing, came to the house, and poured Li Yuanqing a cup of hot tea, "Yuanqing, the attitude of the prince has changed a little quickly." This, what the hell is going on? ”

Li Yuanqing took a sip of tea, lit another cigar, and slowly spit out a mouthful of thick mist, "Jiao~ Mother, there is no wind and no waves." This matter~, I'm a little unsure now. However, one thing is certain, we must give up all the interests of Jingshi. The signboard of the Misty Rain Pavilion...... Wait a minute. More on that later. ”

Yang Jiao~ Niang can see this more than Li Yuanqing, and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, the old ones don't go, the new ones don't come." If we don't open it in Beijing, we can go to Tianjin. You can also go to Denglaikai. Besides, now, we don't expect much more silver from the Fog and Rain Pavilion, there is nothing to worry about. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and squeezed Yang Jiao~Niang's little hand heavily, "Jiao~Niang, don't worry." More dangerous storms than this, we have all come. This time, there will be no problem either! ”

Saying that, Li Yuanqing whispered a few words in Yang Jiao~'s mother's ear, and Yang Jiao~'s mother hurriedly nodded again and again.

…………

Li Yuanqing and his entourage set off early in the morning of the next day, left Beijing, and returned to Liaodi.

The same is true for Chen Zhong.

It's just that Chen Zhong took the first line of Tianjin, and Li Yuanqing took the first line of land and Shanhaiguan.

Not far from Guangqu Gate, Chen Zhong strode to Li Yuanqing's side and said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, take care all the way." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded emphatically and said in a low voice: "Big brother, remember, don't show your feet." Don't startle the snake. After I return to Liaodi, let's take it slowly. ”

Chen Zhong shook Li Yuanqing's big hand heavily, "Yuanqing, take care." ”

Watching Chen Zhong's team leave first, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, "Let's go!" ”

"Yes!"

The team soon set off eastward.

When he came, the number of Li Yuanqing's personal soldiers was about 800 people, but at this time, with the addition of Shunzi and his party, the total number of Li Yuanqing's team had properly exceeded 1,000 people.

At the same time, Yang Jiao~Niang and the remaining guards of the Wuyu Pavilion had already left the city in advance before the city gate closed last night, and they would join the team in a Zhuangzi twenty exceptions in front of them.

At this time, although the number of people in the team has increased a lot, Li Yuanqing and his party have a very abundant war horse, and the soldiers are strong and strong, even if the weather is cold and dry, but the sons and daughters have no problems in this regard.

At noon, after the team successfully joined Yang Jiao ~ Niang and his party, they continued all the way to the east.

There was snow when I came, and the road was not very easy to walk, but on the way back, I couldn't see even a single snow foam, and the weather was cold and dry.

Although there is not much smoke and dust, the rotten leaves in the sky are flying all over the sky, making the scenery along the way a little indescribably desolate.

Seven days later, the team had passed through Yutian and arrived at the territory of Jizhen.

Although Li Yuanqing had an agreement with the Liu family before, he wanted to go to Liu's house as a guest, but at this time, the situation was not clear, and this visit obviously could not be made.

However, Liu Minxiu, the head of the Liu family, is obviously an understanding person.

Even if Li Yuanqing did not have the Liu family village in front of him to stay and rest, he still sent people to send Li Yuanqing fifty fat pigs, one hundred sheep, and 20,000 taels of silver tickets.

Twilight.

The team set up camp on the sheltered side of a dirt slope.

The soldiers all went to camp and look for dry firewood, while Li Yuanqing stood on the top of the dirt slope, facing the cold north wind, quietly inspecting this vast but incomparably magnificent land.

Shunzi stared at the camp below, and Zhang Lei took fifty personal soldiers to guard Li Yuanqing dozens of steps away.

Liu Maocai, the second young master of Liu, was able to stand beside Li Yuanqing at this time, and together with Li Yuanqing, he stood at the same angle and examined the entire scenery.

This also made Liu Maocai simply flattered.

These days, in the Beijing Division, Liu Maocai has been mixing in the pro-soldier sequence, and rarely has the opportunity to contact Li Yuanqing alone.

But ~~, the more he understands the Immortal Camp, the more he understands how correct it is for him to join the Immortal Camp.

At this time, when Li Yuanqing left Beijing, although the news from all sides was somewhat ...... Some are not so good......

But ~~, Liu Maocai firmly believes that a little bit of charm and ghosts are just ghosts, how can they stop Li Yuanqing's firm and powerful steps?

Those who dare to be against Li Yuanqing, or even an enemy, really have to weigh it carefully, do they have this capital~!

At this time, although the wind is very strong, ~, to be able to stand by Li Yuanqing's side, Liu Maocai's chest is straight and straight, although there is still a lot of gap compared to the well-trained soldiers, but this spirit is not much behind.

It's like~, these cold winds are nothing at all, as long as he can stand by Li Yuanqing's side, he Liu Maocai will feel endless warmth.

On the side, Li Yuanqing was also very satisfied with Liu Maocai's changes.

It is often said that the army is the best melting pot.

This is especially true in the powerful and thriving fighting collective of the Changsheng Battalion.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled: "Maocai, have you ever been to this place before?" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Mao was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses for a while, and said with a smile: "General, I really haven't been to this place before. The main reason is that the pattern before the lowly post is too small, and I know the one-third of an acre of land in the lowly position. At this time, being able to stand here, the humble mind, and can't help it, have opened up a lot. ”
