Chapter 168: The First Expedition
Council Chamber.
Wang Yu sat upright on the chair and glanced at Li Yuanji from time to time.
Today's Li Yuanji is very abnormal, because he is exceptionally quiet.
This quietness is reflected in the fact that Li Yuanji did not target her today and did not go against her.
On the contrary, as long as she and Li Yuanji looked at each other, Li Yuanji would definitely smile at her with what he thought was kind, which made his face, which was not good-looking or even ugly, even more hideous.
What bad idea is Lee Won-gil playing?
"Ahem."
The sound of coughing pulled Wang Yu's mind back.
Li Yuan stood up to face everyone, his eyes were blazing, and his voice was gloomy: "Now that the mountains and rivers are fissioning, the universe is reversed, and the people of the world are being brutalized by tyranny and war, and they are in the chaos of life and death.
"My family has inherited the talisman, and when Kuangfu Sheji, stabilize the world.
"Therefore, I decided to depose Emperor Yang Guang and support Chang'an to stay behind - acting king."
Everyone looked stunned, and the day they were looking forward to had finally come.
Next, Li Yuan told everyone about his strategic plan: "Our military strategy is to go south to Guanzhong and take Chang'an directly.
"If you want to capture Chang'an, you must first conquer Xihe County."
Li Yuan set his eyes on Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin: "Da Lang, Erlang, you are my son, and you have not experienced training, so my father will first hand over Xihe County to you for training." ”
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were very excited, with confident expressions.
However, Li Yuan's next sentence smashed Li Jiancheng's excitement down.
"However, apart from the round-trip journey, I will only allocate you two days' rations."
Li Yuanji couldn't help but shout: "This military ration is too little, right?" ”
Li Yuan ignored him, and only stared at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin: "There is only so much military rations, if you can't capture Xihe County within two days, you will find a way to solve the military rations yourself." ”
Li Jiancheng was still hesitating, but Li Shimin had already accepted it happily: "Okay, no problem." ”
Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Li Jiancheng no longer hesitated and took over the task.
Li Yuan immediately ordered: "Zhao Ke, you go to Xingguo Temple to reorganize the army first."
"Da Lang, Erlang, you are ready to prepare and set out tomorrow."
————
The eldest grandson handed the burden to Li Shimin and carefully instructed him: "There are no eyes on the battlefield, you have to be more careful."
"If you encounter danger, don't be reckless, save your life."
Li Shimin held her hand, and his voice softened unconsciously: "I know, you don't have to worry, I promise to come back to see you with all your tails." ”
When the eldest grandson heard his assurance, his heart was relieved.
Li Shimin looked down at the silent Wang Yu, a little surprised: "Xiao Yu'er, why are you so quiet today?" Don't you have anything to say to me? ”
Wang Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The sister-in-law who should be said is finished, why am I wasting my saliva?" ”
Li Shimin: "......"
The anticipation vanished in an instant.
Wrong.
Li Shimin threw the burden to his entourage, walked to Wang Yu and squatted down, staring at her eyes: "Do you want to secretly follow the army to Xihe County again?" ”
The eldest grandson's face changed, and he also walked in front of Wang Yu and stood still, his eyes locked on her, not letting go of any of her subtle expressions.
It was like interrogating a prisoner, Wang Yu was a little speechless.
"Of course I won't go, such a good opportunity, I must be sticking to my sister-in-law."
Li Shimin believed it.
The eldest grandson was skeptical.
At this time, the servant urged outside the door: "Erlang, it's time to go." ”
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin went on the expedition, and the eldest grandson and Zheng Guanyin were only sent to the gate of the mansion.
Li Yuan and others saw off the recruits who went out for the first time outside the city gate.
Before leaving, Li Shimin specially reminded Li Yuan: "Aya, you have to take care of Xiao Yu'er, don't let her secretly go to Xihe County." ”
Li Yuanji stood beside Li Yuan, and after hearing this, he ran to Wang Yu's side and said to her: "Xiao Yu'er, the second brother asked Aya to take care of you, don't let you have a chance to run to Xihe County." ”
Wang Yu: "......"
Li Shimin doesn't trust her too much, right?
She said she wouldn't go, so why didn't she trust people?
- And so on.
Wang Yu turned his head to look up, and Li Yuanji looked like he was complaining to his good brother, as if the feud they had had had never happened before.
Seeing her look over, Li Yuanji leaned over to Wang Yu, and his tone was mixed with a hint of excitement: "Ha, you don't really plan to go, do you?"
"If you go, count me as a share, and two people will go on the road, and there will be a care."
Looking at the huge face full of potholes, a shiver rose from the soles of Wang Yu's feet, making her involuntarily take two steps back.
In order to hide the uneasiness in his heart, Wang Yu laughed and said: "If I don't go, I won't go, the second brother just thinks too much." ”
Li Yuanji nodded and agreed with her words: "I think so too." ”
Wang Yu was even more frightened in her heart, but she has always had good acting skills, and she couldn't see it on her face.
She rubbed the tiger's mouth, her head was running at great speed, and she began to analyze the reason for Li Yuanji's abnormality......
————
The army led by Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was newly recruited, with a total of 250 teams, each team of 50 people.
During the march, whenever they discovered the enemy's situation, the Li brothers immediately stepped forward and showed unprecedented courage and responsibility.
At the same time, they ate and slept with the soldiers, without the arrogance of a noble son.
On this day, when the army was resting halfway, a small soldier hurriedly walked in front of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
"Report, there are soldiers stealing vegetables."
The Li brothers' faces sank, and they followed the soldiers to the vegetable field, and at a glance they saw five or six soldiers pulling turnips.
Further afield, there are more than a dozen soldiers picking fruit in the orchard.
Li Jiancheng's face was as black as charcoal.
Li Shimin gently patted Li Jiancheng's shoulder and reminded him: "Brother, don't forget our plan. ”
Hearing this, Li Jiancheng put away his anger and regained his calm expression.
Li Shimin instructed the soldiers: "Go and call all those people back." ”
Soon, the soldiers who had stolen vegetables and fruits returned, still holding the stolen goods in their arms.
One by one, they hung their heads, their faces ashamed and embarrassed, and a little apprehensive, wondering in their hearts what the coming punishment would be.
One soldier boldly said, "We were just hungry for a while, and we didn't hold back, so we ...... Pick some fruit and wrap your belly ......"
They are all farmers, and they are used to doing this kind of thing, and they usually don't say anything to the neighbors when they pick one or two fruits.
What's more, now is the era of war, in order to fill your stomach, it doesn't matter who the owner of these things is.
Whoever sees it is his.
Couldn't wait for the Li brothers to speak, these people thought they were dead, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "We won't dare next time, don't kill us." ”
At this point, all the soldiers gathered around.
Li Jiancheng said in a loud voice: "Get up, I won't punish you." ”
The men looked at each other for a moment, then hesitated to get up.
Li Shimin instructed a few soldiers: "You go and find the owner of this vegetable field and orchard." ”
The minions took the order and left.
The people who were stealing the vegetables and fruits looked at each other again, and their eyes were stained with doubt.
What does Li Shimin want to do?
