East Palace, an unquiet night.

Li Jiancheng sat there with a sullen face.

Li Yuanji really chattered endlessly about Li Chengzong, and his face was full of joy.

Li Jiancheng said: "Fighting is not child's play, you are not allowed to go anywhere when you go to Luoyang to follow your third uncle."

Of course, Li Chengzong was unwilling, and thought to himself: "I went to make trouble for Li Shimin, if I follow behind Li Yuanji's buttocks, can I see the enemy and say otherwise, how can I make trouble for Li Shimin?"

Although he was full of reluctance, Li Chengzong still patted his chest and promised that he would never run around and never cause trouble to the third uncle.

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "It's not troublesome to be numb, you just have to follow the third uncle to ensure that you eat and drink spicy."

This is not Li Yuanji's boasting, the dignified King Qi is an uncle wherever he is.

Li Chengzong and Li Yuanji both expressed their positions, and Li Jiancheng was a little relieved. Today's events were really too sudden, and Li Chengzong went to Li Yuan to offer treasures without saying hello to him, which made him very unhappy. But after thinking about it, Li Chengzong was only eleven years old and usually couldn't contact anyone, so it shouldn't be that he had any bad intentions, probably because he was a young man who was eager to show his merits, so he didn't discuss it with himself.

Not long after, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Wang Gui, and Xue Wanche arrived.

Of course, Li Chengzong was no stranger to Wei Zheng, but the other three had dark eyes and didn't know anything.

Li Jiancheng said: "Let's talk about it!"

Wang Gui, as the crown prince, is absolutely loyal.

Wang Gui said: "It is a good thing that the king of Taiyuan County helped Luoyang this time, the prince of the Eastern Expedition failed to go but the king of the county went, no matter how the victory or defeat was, the prestige of my East Palace has been improved."

Wei Zheng said: "The sword has no eyes, I think the king of Taiyuan should be careful in everything."

When Li Chengzong saw Wei Zheng's little eyes, he knew what he thought. It's nothing more than reminding yourself not to be reckless, to get a soy sauce and come back safely, if the situation is not good, evacuate quickly, if you are caught or killed, it will not be fun.

Wei Zheng has been pondering this matter on the road, and he, like Wang Gui, feels that things are very good, but they must not go wrong. If Li Chengzong was really caught and killed, it would be embarrassing here in the East Palace.

Li Jiancheng nodded and asked Xue Wanche, "Can General Xue accompany the King of Taiyuan on a trip?"

Xue Wanche knew that he was also depressed in his heart, it was not a good errand to accompany the prince to study, in case Li Chengzong had something bad, he would wait for bad luck! But the prince asked, can he say no!

"The last will do his best." Xue Wanche stood up and arched his hand and said.

If there is no general who can fight well to accompany him, Li Jiancheng will never feel at ease.

Wei Ting said on the side: "With General Xue accompanied and His Royal Highness King Qi here, the county king is safe and worry-free." Let's think about how to use this opportunity to strike at King Qin. ”

This sentence immediately made Li Chengzong's eyes glow, and he finally found a confidant.

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng said to Li Chengzong: "It's late, you go down to rest first."

Li Chengzong is so angry! You stumbled your brother and didn't let your son listen, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.

"Yes," Li Chengzong left in a huff.

When everyone saw Li Chengzong leaving with his cheeks puffed out, they couldn't help but want to laugh.

Wei Zheng said: "I look at the great talent and ambition of the king of the county, which is really the luck of the East Palace."

Everyone chimed in.

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Chengzong is still younger, and he needs more support from you in the future."

In this way, the number of capable people in the East Palace was discussed until midnight.

On the second day, the 2,000 cavalry personally allocated by Li Yuan had already arrived, but the supplies required by the King of Qi had not yet been fully prepared. According to the prince's opinion, of course, let Li Chengzong and King Qi set off together.

Li Chengzong was unwilling, time was too precious, and he went to the battle by himself to finish the battle, so it would be funny.

Li Chengzong said: "Father, don't worry, General Xue will be fine with the child." Besides, if the child goes to help the second uncle, the second uncle will take care of him more. ”

Li Jiancheng thought about it, he still knew what Li Shimin was capable of. If Li Chengzong arrives under his account, if there are three long and two short, Li Shimin will definitely be even more unhappy than himself. Thinking about it like this, Li Jiancheng no longer stopped it, and let Xue Wanche and Li Chengzong prepare first.

Zheng knew that Li Chengzong was going to battle, but he wished that he would die there and never come back. It's just that she is also a nominal mother, Li Chengzong went on an expedition without saying anything and couldn't say anything, so he sent someone to send a thousand taels of gold. Li Jiancheng was very happy to know that the Zheng family sent money to Li Chengzong, after all, the mother and son were filial piety.

In fact, Zheng's meaning of sending money was that he was afraid that Li Jiancheng would give too much. I only gave a thousand gold, if I don't give it, I don't know how much money Li Jiancheng will give to his eldest son!

Li Chengzong thanked the Zheng family, and then hurriedly summoned Zhu Bajie and asked, "How much money do I have, Lord Wang?"

Zhu Bajie immediately said: "The prince usually doesn't have any expenses, and the various incomes he gets every year add up to a total of 1,200 gold."

"I'll rely on," Li Chengzong scolded.

I have worked hard for more than ten years to have 1,200 taels of gold. Zheng sent me a thousand gold casually, and he was really a veritable poor man!

Zhu Bajie was unhappy when he saw Li Chengzong, thinking that the little silver he had secretly left behind had been discovered by Li Chengzong, and Dou Da's sweat beads were all over his face.

Li Chengzong said: "The weather is not hot, which door do you leave behind?" You're not sick, are you?"

Zhu Bajie gasped and hurriedly said, "No, no."

"Alright, you go down first. If you are sick, you will go to the doctor first, and the province will make people think that my prince is abusing people. ”

Zhu Bajie was like being pardoned, and quickly retreated.

Li Chengzong and Xue Wanche came to the barracks, and two thousand people stood together.

Xue Wanche said: "The king of the county, these two thousand people are elite, and if the equipment is better than the Xuanjia cavalry under the command of King Qin."

Xuanjia cavalry Li Chengzong knew that one of China's five elite cavalry existed fiercely, and the elite troops under Li Shimin.

This is also the person who is assigned to Li Chengzong, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have contributed people and hard work, and of course they are the best.

Li Chengzong nodded, and then said: "This expedition is all about General Xue."

"The prince is polite, it is the honor of the last general to follow the prince on the expedition."

Not long after Xue Wanche contacted Li Chengzong, he said that it was a lie to have a good impression. However, Xue Wanche really thinks that Li Chengzong is good, at least he doesn't see much of the habits of a gentleman, and he treats people even more modestly.

"General Xue, when do you think we will leave?" Li Chengzong asked.

Li Chengzong didn't know anything about marching and fighting.

Xue Wanche said: "Although all the soldiers are ready, the grain and grass materials still need to be deployed, and the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow at the earliest."

Li Chengzong nodded and said, "Then the day after tomorrow."

Then Li Chengzong said to the two thousand soldiers: "Soldiers, this time I will not treat everyone badly with this king." I don't care what others do, all the soldiers who die in battle under the king's tent, this king will take care of his small family, and he will never let them lose their whereabouts. ”

After Li Chengzong finished speaking, it was fried. In these years, there have been many soldiers and wars, and I have never heard that my family can still be taken care of after being killed in battle, and I immediately talked about it, and I didn't believe it.

Xue Wanche smiled after hearing this, which round of this expedition got them to go to the battlefield.

Xue Wanche roared: "Didn't you hear the words of the King of Taiyuan County? Don't hurry up and thank you. ”

The soldiers were not familiar with Li Chengzong, but they were still very clear about Xue Wanche, and immediately shouted. The soldiers are really happy in their hearts, they are not afraid of death, aren't they afraid of their own death and the sins of their families!

Li Chengzong nodded with satisfaction, he knew that he couldn't do it by relying on his ability to serve people, and he could only use the truth that money can make ghosts grind to improve his prestige and reputation.

When he came back from horseback, Li Chengzong's legs hurt. Although he can ride a horse, his body is still a little smaller.

Li Chengzong summoned Zhu Bajie again and asked, "Which one is the best in the city to make carriages?"

Zhu Bajie said: "The carriages of our East Palace are the best, and the craftsmen are all one by one."

Li Chengzong patted his head when he heard this, how could he forget this, he is the king of Taiyuan County, this is the East Palace, how can he find someone else to make a carriage.

immediately ran to see Li Jiancheng, which roughly means that he hopes to make a chariot, and he can't ride a horse because of his bones. Li Jiancheng thought about it, such a small person was not as tall as a horse, so he also agreed.

In order for this chariot to catch up with the day after tomorrow, Donggong didn't know how many craftsmen he found, and he rushed to work day and night.

Li Chengzong was not idle to personally supervise the construction, after all, it was made for himself, so the comfort was not to be talked about, but the speed and safety factor must be high, and it must be very high.

How afraid Li Chengzong is of death, it seems that only he understands it.

Not to mention, Li Chengzong still admires these craftsmen very much, and they can be so delicate and gorgeous by hand. Each person was rewarded with five taels of silver, so that the craftsmen were grateful.

The chariot was exactly as it was done during the Qin Dynasty, except that it was reduced a little, and the four horses became two horses. But the flexibility has been increased, after all, compared to the charge, what Li Chengzong needs more is a mount that can flexibly turn around and escape.

In just two days, the East Palace was really almost collapsed by Li Chengzong.
