However, even though Li Ting's reprimand of Li Yan has become a daily must-do, today is a little boring, and he still remembers the morning dew, so he waved his hand casually, "Now that you are clear about these things, then I will not bother to talk more, but don't do things like this next time, as my royal brother, you should bear the face of the royal family in front of everyone, it is such a thing that is easy to cause misunderstanding, so don't do it." ”

Li Yan heard this as if he wanted to let himself go, and he was quite strange in his heart, when did Li Ting become so generous?

"Yes—the minister will never make such a mistake again in the future if he obeys the emperor's holy decree."

"Okay, you go back to your own mansion and stay, I still have a lot of work to deal with, and I don't have much time to waste my tongue here with you, go-" Li Ting stood up and turned around and went directly to the inner hall, not paying any more attention to Li Yan.

It's just that Li Yan didn't get up immediately, he just waited for Li Ting to disappear at the end of the inner hall, and then stood up, shook the ash on his neck, and then returned to the Night King's Mansion with his head held high.

"Lord Wei, how are you doing lately?" It turned out that he went to Wei Yan's mansion.

Wei Yan led him to his study and sat him down on a chair in front of his desk before telling him about the recent situation, if they wanted to successfully raise troops, they would have to be soldiers and war horses.

And although Li Yan was able to deal with most of the soldiers, this was far from enough, because even though Li Ting had not recruited more soldiers over the years, he had preserved a large number of well-equipped troops since the generation of the first emperor.

So they had to recruit more soldiers.

"Under the emperor's nose, we will definitely not be able to recruit people with such fanfare, but there is another way, we have now brought General Gao over, he can mobilize about 20,000 people, so the most lacking is only 10,000 people, as long as we solve these 10,000 people, we have a full chance of winning, not to mention the old department of the prince in the past, their combat effectiveness is naturally not the same as the group of soldiers who have been staying in the capital now, as for those soldiers in the capital, I used to be the bookkeeper of the military department when I first took office, and in my opinion, there is no need for the prince to overestimate their level too much. ”

In fact, if Wei Yan himself wants to speak, even if he doesn't have those 10,000 people, he believes that with the strength they can control now, it is completely enough to confront the forces in the emperor's hands, but he is cautious, and he has been lying on his salary for so many years for this matter, and there are so many people behind him, he can't take such a big risk.

Li Yan didn't know that the soldiers in the capital were not soldiers at all, they were simply a group of rice worms raised by the treasury, and sometimes he would go to the city gate on weekdays, but he saw that the group of soldiers were waiting together one by one with nothing to do, gathering to gamble and drink, these things are very common.

It's just that the officials protect each other, so the people above have never known about it. The most important thing is that a large part of the military power has actually always been in the hands of Zheng Yan'er's father, Zheng Guolin, and this person also has some skills, but that is also in the march and war, for the management of his subordinates, he has always advocated that the game that should be played on weekdays never pays attention to the problem of discipline, but will be more strict when on the battlefield.

So the problem arises here, they haven't fought for a long time, the last time they fought was Li Yan himself and his own men went to the border to crusade against foreigners, and the rest of them have never been on the battlefield at all, let alone discuss those actual combat capabilities.

"It's just that those 10,000 people can use what excuse to recruit them?" Li Yan lowered his eyes and thought, for him, these 10,000 people are likely to determine whether he acts or not, because although he is the head of this group of people, he is followed by so many people, and he must be fully responsible for them.

It was impossible for him to take the risk, and to ask his subordinates to take the risk with him, even though he knew that if he said that those people would follow him.

If nothing else, it was for the trust that belonged to Li Yan on the battlefield that belonged to the "God of War".

"I know where the prince's worries are, and I will try my best to find a way to recruit these 10,000 people for the prince, but the prince, you still need to be mentally prepared, even if you don't have these 10,000 people, you need to raise troops! I know what you're worried about, you are worried that the only little risk may make this matter fall short, and you need to be responsible for those subordinates behind you, but do you know what their real needs are? They are not only for themselves to get a way out, but also for you to ascend to that position! Wei Yan's expression was very sincere, he didn't have to be like this, if it weren't for the better development of this country.

Li Yan looked directly at Wei Yan's eyes, and after a long time, he nodded heavily, "I know, even if I don't have those 10,000 people, I will definitely go all out!" ”

Wei Yan showed a relieved smile at this time, saying that it was a smile, but it was actually a bit excessive, but it was just compared with his always expressionless face, but it was just a smile when the corners of his mouth were raised.

Li Yan did not stay long, and soon left Wei Yan's mansion. When he went out, he found that the sky was already gloomy, as if it was going to rain heavily, and the atmosphere in the inexplicable capital became tense.

He climbed directly over Wei Yan's wall, but he didn't return to the house, and continued to walk in this direction, "Knock knock—" He knocked on the back door of a very hidden dilapidated hut.

"Who?" There was a human voice inside, and at the same time, there were three knocks on the door, so Li Yan replied to three more knocks.

"Squeak-" The door opened.

"It is really the fault of the younger generations that I didn't come to see the seniors until today." After entering the house, he bowed to an elderly man behind the person who opened the door, and sincerely apologized to him.

"The prince can't make this big gift, he knows what the atmosphere in the capital is, and the emperor has always been staring at you, so naturally you can't come and go in the capital at will."

"Although this is true, since you are willing to help the juniors, these difficulties can naturally be overcome."

"Lord Wang, after all, my father's courtyard is not a good place to talk, let's go to the house and discuss in detail." The person who spoke was Liu Tong, and the old man in Fang Cai was his father Liu Xin.

This house is also very dilapidated, but it is still neat and can be seen, and the owner has carefully cleaned it.

"I'm sorry, for the sake of safety, the two of you can only place this meeting in this room." While talking, Li Yan poured two bowls of tea for Liu Xin and Liu Tong.
