Chapter 118: The Horse Proposal

Cheng Zhao still said lightly: "Hmm." When he had finished speaking, he lifted his feet and walked inside.

Li Yuhua hurriedly stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can you take a step to speak?"

"What do you want to say?" Cheng Zhao turned his face to look at him, and his appearance seemed a little unpolite. In fact, he shouldn't be angry with Li Yuhua, but he just couldn't help it, because when he thought that when he was in Nihe Village, Su Jin felt very uncomfortable because of how many grievances this man had suffered in the Li family.

He admitted that he was a little childish in the face of Li Yuhua at the moment. But...... Anyway, I just can't help it.

Li Yuhua also knew that it was a little abrupt to step forward and rashly interrupt, so he suppressed his voice and said carefully: "Disturb Your Highness, if Your Highness is not available, the villain will leave." In fact, the villain just wanted to thank His Highness in person for taking care of Su Jin and Yu'an. ”

"No need, this palace said that it wasn't because of any of your Li family." Cheng Zhao raised his feet and walked into the threshold, and he didn't look at Li Yuhua again.

With a "clang", the door was closed by the guards behind Cheng Zhao, blocking Li Yuhua's sight when he saw the tall man's back.

Li Yuhua froze in place, looking at the vermilion gate of the Prince's Mansion and smiling.

Why didn't he understand why His Royal Highness the noble Crown Prince was angry with him? Zhang Liwen couldn't hide his anger, and swung it directly with his fist. And Yu'an pressed the fire in his heart, and he couldn't suppress the red eyes and tears that kept rolling down.

Of course, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not as direct and subtle as them. After all, he has nothing to do with him Li Yuhua, he chooses to stand with Su Jin, but for him, he doesn't have to give him any good face.

Li Yuhua sometimes thinks about it, just at the attitude of His Royal Highness the Prince, if he is not now the entourage of King Han, maybe he will send someone to kill him secretly in a fit of anger.

But perhaps, considering Su Jin, he would not kill him. But the lesson of a secret beating is probably indispensable.

Li Yuhua stood in front of the Prince's Mansion for a long time before riding back to the post house.

As soon as he pushed open the door and walked in, an attendant came over and said, "General, King Han is looking for it."

Li Yuhua nodded and went to the main courtyard where King Han lived. In the main hall of the main courtyard, King Han sat on the upper seat, and Ye Da and several officials accompanying him sat at the bottom, as if they wanted to discuss something.

Li Yuhua saluted the higher-ranking King Han: "King Han."

"You're here." King Han's brows furrowed deeply, and he ordered him to sit.

Not long after Li Yuhua sat down, he asked, "King Han, but what happened?"

Yeda said: "General Li, you are from Daying, tell me what do you mean by Daying?"

"What do you mean?" Li Yuhua frowned, Yeda kept speaking politely, and he didn't bother to be polite to him.

Ye Da didn't care about Li Yuhua's attitude this time, he said directly: "Even today, at the banquet invited by the prince, King Han has already stated his purpose for coming back here. Moreover, the prince of Daying knows about the urgent matters at our border. But after King Han proposed, he didn't say anything. I don't know what it means? What is he hesitating about borrowing or not borrowing soldiers in a word? He thought that even if Liaoqing was completely overturned, his Daying would not suffer. I don't know what he has to think about? ”

Yeda told the truth of the matter, and Li Yuhua heard the meaning of the words.

Li Yuhua pondered for a moment and said, "King Han, I think that now we have just proposed the matter of borrowing troops. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince neither said yes nor did he say no. Anyway, now, we can't figure out what he thinks, so why just wait a while. ”

"Wait?" Yeda retorted with a dark face: "General, don't you know what the situation in our country is, can we afford to wait?"

"Now apart from waiting, General Yeda thinks there is any other good way? Or does General Yeda have an iron mouth that can convince His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible and send troops to us immediately? Li Yuhua said.

Yeda was choked by Li Yuhua, and he really couldn't say anything else for a while.

yes, what else can you do but wait?

There was silence in the main hall, and King Han sighed and lightly slammed the tabletop: "That's it, wait a minute."

"You all go down, General Li stays." King Han waved his hand and asked Ye Da and the others to retreat.

The door was closed by the attendants, and King Han said, "General, can we successfully borrow soldiers on this trip?"

Li Yuhua said: "It's hard to say, King Han, it's too early to say this at this time." Otherwise, send a message back to the princess to deploy earlier. Whether to borrow or not, we must be prepared. Moreover, I don't know what happened to the second prince? The prince can wait for news a little longer. ”

"Hmm" King Han thought about it, and it could only be like this. In fact, they didn't put all their hopes in one basket this time, and their youngest son also went to other departments to borrow troops.

But because Daying has always been a strong country and a big country in the Central Plains, he came here to pin his greatest hopes here.

And now, judging by the situation, we can only wait.

"The subordinates will send someone to inquire about the news from the second prince." Li Yuhua said.

"Hmm." King Han nodded.

In the prince's mansion, Cheng Zhao sat in front of the bookcase, drawing.

When Ya'an looked at it, it was actually the side of the Liaoqing Department.

"You say, where has the Hedan army attacked now?" He didn't look up, still sketching the border of the Liaoqing Ministry.

Ya'an said: "Changnan Pass has been lost, if the Hedan army is angry, the next step is to go straight to Liaoqing Wangcheng."

"Wangcheng." Cheng Zhao muttered to himself, and circled the position of the red flag on the album.

To the south of Wangcheng, three or four more towns are Yangdu Mansion, the border of Daying.

The 30,000 defenders of Yangdu Mansion, if they can be mobilized, will naturally be able to support Liaoqing within two days.

Ya'an naturally saw such a dangerous situation, and he wondered: "Your Highness, why didn't Your Highness respond when King Han mentioned the matter of borrowing troops today." If Liaoqing falls, it will not be good for us. ”

Cheng Zhao said: "Bing, it must be borrowed." But we have to wait until the Hedan army has passed Qinshan. ”

Qinshan is located in the north of the Liaoqing royal capital, where there is snow all year round, it is a great wilderness land.

"Moreover, the Ministry of Liaoqing not only came to us for help, but also sent people from several surrounding countries. Let's wait and see. Cheng Zhao said again.

"Hmm" Ya'an responded, in fact, there has been a discussion about this matter in the DPRK and China.

But reinforcements can be sent, but naturally the Liaoqing Department will have to pay some price.

There is a large pasture in the southwest of the Qinshan Mountains in the wasteland, where excellent horses are raised all year round.

His Royal Highness has already made up his mind there. Yes, you can borrow soldiers, exchange horses, or pay tribute.

A few years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put forward a proposal in the court on revising the tribute items of the Liaoning Ministry. But at that time, Empress Dowager Xu felt that Chengzhao wanted to recruit troops by herself, so she tried her best to suppress this part of the proposal.

The proposal was shelved for a long time and finally fell through.

But now, King Han himself came to the court to ask for help. Therefore, this proposal was drawn out by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and was able to see the light of day again.

As for Seungzhao's thoughts. In addition to some of them being their own elite soldiers, more of them are used to militarily suppress foreign enemies.

For example, Woden is a big threat, not because of how brave they are, but because their horses are good.

And the Central Plains boundary, what is lacking is the best county horses.

Cheng Zhao said before that only when Da Ying has a good horse can he really beat He Dan back to his hometown.

It's just that Chengzhao's horse proposal was suppressed by the Queen Mother and King Kangyu in the court, so it will be like this.

However, fortunately, there is also Yangdu Mansion.
