Chapter Ninety-Four: Tricks and Tricks
I can't go back, but the reason for this sudden change, Li Hao still has to find out.
Since this prince didn't know, then Li Hao went to ask Ling Budo, after all, there was a chance that this guy did it.
Ke Ling Budo faced Li Haode's questioning, but he didn't explain, only said: "Your Majesty, this is to see that the prince has no prestige in the army, so he wants to take this opportunity to establish a prestige for the prince, which is a great thing for the prince, you have to experience Your Majesty's hard work."
Li Hao is naturally skeptical about this, not that Emperor Wen will not do this, but this matter is developing and changing too quickly, and there must be a reason for it.
However, Ling Budo has to say that Li Hao has no way to take him, and this time he wants to arrest Peng Kun, thinking that even if Ling Budo wants to find out the truth about the lonely city, he will not take the initiative to do bad things to frame the prince.
It just so happened that this time Li Hao had to arrange some things in advance before leaving, and he didn't entangle with Ling Budo again in the future.
returned to his own house, even though Li Haodang chose some capable people to go to Tongniu County, and made corresponding arrangements in advance.
After all, there are not many opportunities to get rid of the old fox of Mrs. Lou, maybe there will be a ready-made opportunity this time.
Of course, now that the second room of the Lou family is supported outside, although it is still governed by the big house, the situation has also changed a lot, so whether Lou Niu will go to extremes this time, Li Hao is not completely sure.
Not only that, but the people sent by Li Hao to keep an eye on the Lou family really didn't get any useful clues.
But no matter what, Lou Niu didn't enter the office smoothly after all, who knows how deep the obsession in his heart is, it's not a bad thing to guard against a little thing, and by the way, it can be regarded as protecting Yan Zhong and Cheng Shi.
That's right, this time Cheng Shi was still assigned to Tongniu County to supervise the transportation of copper, and now he has no relationship with the Lou family, if he falls into the hands of Lou Niu again, I am afraid that his life will really not be saved.
For the sake of Yuan Shen's face, Li Hao still has to pay attention to him, otherwise this marriage, which is already about to be heard, will not have to wait for another three years.
After finishing this matter, Li Hao continued to appease Wang Ji and Qu Lengjun, especially Qu Lengjun, who is not long away from giving birth now, and I don't know if she can come back smoothly.
So before leaving, Li Hao had to coax her well, so as not to have any psychological problems.
However, it is obvious that Qu Lengjun's ability to bear it is still quite good, and there is not much psychological fluctuation about Li Hao's departure this time.
After all, Li Hao had participated in many fierce battles before, and he had not suffered any damage, not to mention that this time the war was even simpler.
Li Hao can naturally rest assured about this, but after condolences to Qu Lengjun, there was an accident when he came to Wang Ji.
"If you want to go with the army, I'm afraid it won't work." After listening to Wang Ji's words, Li Hao said directly.
Wang Ji replied when she heard this: "Why can't this be obtained, it's not impossible for this husband and wife to go on the expedition together, isn't it impossible for the Marquis of Quling and his wife to fight on the battlefield together, and even His Majesty went out to fight back then, and he also took Concubine Yue with him."
And I'm still from a skilled bow, and I won't hold you back, you can rest assured."
Li Hao smiled when he heard this: "The bow horse is skilled, are you sure! How did I hear that in Tushan before, someone lost quite badly."
As soon as she heard this, Wang Ji's face suddenly darkened, although because she married Yuan Mansion, because of Qu Lengjun, her relationship with Cheng Shaoshang and Wan Wife eased a little.
But hearing Li Hao's disguised words of praising his wife, she was still very unhappy.
Seeing this, Li Hao didn't hit her again, and said directly: "It's not that I don't want to take you there, but it's really inconvenient this time, after all, the leading coach is not me.
Now the crown prince doesn't plan to take the princess with him, what is the matter with me taking you there, and I buy you and Ling Budo, Cui Hou, and Laihou What do they think.
Ling Budo has no one to bring, but Cui Hou and Laihou have wives and concubines, if they both bring them, do you think they are like words?"
After listening to this explanation, Wang Ji didn't say anything, because this was the truth, but she was still a little disappointed on her face.
See this and be at ease
"Don't think about it too much, anyway, if I have the opportunity to lead the troops alone next time, I will definitely bring you with me."
This time, you will stay in the mansion first, it just so happens that Leng Jun's body is getting heavier and heavier now, and he also needs you to help with the next family affairs."
After hearing this, Wang Ji replied, "You said it yourself, and you can't regret it when the time comes."
"No, definitely not." Li Hao replied, but in his heart, Li Hao added, anyway, if you want to bring it, you will bring both of them, and you can't favor one over the other.
After calming down the affairs of the family, and then deploying the soldiers and horses here in the East Palace, the time is basically the day to go on the expedition.
So early this morning, Li Hao put on the armor sewn by Wang Ji himself, after all, Qu Lengjun's body was inconvenient this time, so this job was given to Wang Ji to do.
Not to mention anything else, Wang Ji's female celebrity level is really good, and she finally didn't lose everyone's beautiful face.
Then Li Hao set off from the palace, rushed to the East Palace and the prince to merge with the prince, led the people, and went to the palace gate to swear.
It was also at this time that Li Hao saw Ling Budo and the armor on his body, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, without Cheng Shaoshang, his famous scene of chicken wings would not be able to be reproduced after all.
Then Cui You and Lai She also arrived one after another, and after everyone gathered together, they returned to their respective official positions and waited for Emperor Wen to appear and set off.
At the same time, on the side of everyone, a small team of people led by Cheng Shi also followed the oath together.
As for why it is said to be rubbing, it is because the boundaries of the personnel on both sides are clear, which makes it seem that Cheng Shi is too thin.
Emperor Wen didn't let everyone wait for a long time, and soon came out and said a few words of blessing the triumph of the army and wishing for the unification of the world, and then announced the dispatch of troops.
With the crown prince taking the lead, followed by Ling Budo and Laihou, Li Hao mixed next to Cui Hou, and then the East Palace Guards, the Black Armor Army and other soldiers and horses.
After all the people here are gone, Cheng Shi can leave with him, and it can be said that this treatment is really not good.
But don't look at Cheng Shi is the last to leave, but he is the one who really set off the fastest, after all, he has few people with him, and he rushed to Tongniu County directly after leaving the palace gate.
And Li Hao and the others still need to go to the camp outside the city to gather heavy troops, take a heavy supply and leave.
Coupled with the disadvantage in the speed of the march, when they arrived in Tongniu County, Li Hao and they were still half a way away.
There is no way, even if Li Hao's side is all elite soldiers, stronger than the people under Cheng Shi's men, but the speed of these tens of thousands of people marching at the same time can't catch up with hundreds of people.
But the speed of the march is okay, slow down, slow down, when Li Hao went to Shudi, the marching speed was even slower, and it was different.
But along the way, those children who were stuffed into the noble families of the middle family of the army gave Li Hao a lot of trouble, which made Li Hao very uncomfortable.
There's no way, Cui You and Lai She's seniority, they don't want to meddle in the control, and others can't do it.
And Ling Budo's face has always been cold, coupled with the legend of Ling Budo's cold face and ruthlessness circulating in the capital, those people don't dare to bother him.
So Li Hao became the person they came to look for most often, and for this reason, Li Hao couldn't wait to clean them up.
But thinking of the family behind these people, Li Hao finally decided to endure it, after all, he might be able to use them when he would.
But within a few days, Li Hao couldn't bear it anymore, so he planned to find something for them to do, so that they could consume too much energy.
So later, Li Hao went to the prince's side and said: "From here to Shouchun, there are many bandits along the way, it is better to take this opportunity to sweep up, which can be regarded as clearing the disaster for the surrounding people and benefiting the people."
The prince still attaches great importance to the people's livelihood, and this road is a matter of the way, so naturally he will not object.
Cui You and Lai Xi had no objection to this, only Ling Budo came out and said, "If this is the case, I am afraid that it will slow down the march of the army even more, and if Shouchun has a chance to breathe because of this, it will not be a disaster."
Li Hao explained: "Shouchun has few soldiers and generals, and when the imperial court didn't have time to communicate the precautions, it failed to capture many cities, not to mention that now that the counties around Shouchun have been prepared, Peng Kun has no hope.
And if this matter is not good, it can be used to make Peng Kun take it lightly, and then cooperate with strange soldiers, or it may have a miraculous effect.
Anyway, with our current strength, it wouldn't hurt to divide a little bit."
Hearing this, Ling Budo immediately became active and said, "Then this strange army will use the black armor guard, and I will lead it personally."
Seeing Ling Budo's attitude change so quickly, Li Hao almost didn't react, but Li Hao didn't object to this, after all, Ling Budo and the black armor guard did have this ability.
However, this decision is still in the hands of the prince after all, of course, if the prince lets him go out to lead the troops, Li Hao is also very willing.
At least it's a much more comfortable job than dealing with overly energetic gentlemen.
The crown prince spoke at this time: "Zicheng, before the father set off, the emperor specially told you to accompany the army on this expedition, and let others lead the strange soldiers."
After speaking, the prince really looked at Li Hao, but this is also easy to understand, after all, among the four people present who can lead the troops, Li Hao must be more good than Cui You and Lai She.
Just as the crown prince was about to give an order, Ling Budo said again: "Your Highness, Peng Kun is a person in a lonely city, and I really can't sit idly by in the camp to deal with this person, and I still want the palace to send me to fight."
The prince replied: "Zicheng, to take Peng Kun is definitely not something that can be decided by the first one or two battles, and when the follow-up army arrives outside Shouchun City, there will naturally be a chance for you to go out, so why rush at this time."
Ling Budo said, "I know that what His Highness said is reasonable, but I still want to ask for battle, even if I have to wait, I also hope to wait in Shouchun City, not here."
After speaking, he looked straight at the prince, his eyes were full of determination, but the more Ling Budo said this, the more the prince didn't want him to go.
It's not that the prince thinks he can't do this, but he is worried that his brain is hot, so he takes the strange soldiers to Chongshouchun City, and even if nothing happens at that time, he won't be able to get it back by himself.
So for a while, the atmosphere in this scene was a little stagnant, but it was Cui You who broke the deadlock here.
"It's better like this, anyway, it's enough to lead the army with Ziyang and Uncle Jun, and I don't have anything to do here, so I and Zicheng will lead the strange soldiers together, what does the prince think."
The relationship between Cui You and Huo Junhua, the prince naturally knows, and Cui You has always loved Ling Budo, and it can be reassuring to have him with him all the way.
So he agreed: "Okay, then it's hard work Cui Hou."
After confirming this matter, Li Hao sent out his manpower to help the sons of the nobles to find the traces of those mountain bandits, and did not hesitate to go over the mountains and mountains to explore around, and finally found a few good places.
After that, Li Hao summoned them over and assigned them tasks, for which he received a lot of thanks from them, thanking Li Hao for giving them the opportunity to make contributions, but Li Hao felt that they were happy too early.
Although these mountain bandits are not as brave as the regular army, those who may survive the troubled times are not something that everyone can deal with.
Sure enough, the follow-up development of events was as Li Hao expected, these ambitious sons and buddies couldn't even recognize the stumbling horses and trapping the horse ditch, and a few of them were even captured alive in the first few battles, and Li Hao had to pay the ransom before they were released.
When he went to explore the road with the scouts, he met a poor woman who asked for help, and was almost wiped out under the attack of stupid blood.
But the most interesting thing is the few sons who went to the wine shop in the bandit village sphere of influence to inquire about the news, when they went, they were chic and uninhibited, and they went down and were hung in the forest in a love-to-death style by the naked strips.
However, Li Hao was still very kind, and when he rescued these people, he deliberately dismissed everyone, and only sent a few strict henchmen, and the victims were full of gratitude to Li Hao after they came back.
After a few times, those noble children have either withered or become cautious, in short, they are all old
In fact, one-third of them can be packed and sent back to the capital.
Li Hao was quite satisfied with this result, and for this reason, he deliberately tried to recruit most of these bandits.
And when he saw this scene, the prince had some doubts in his heart, in fact, as early as when someone was injured before, he had the heart to end the banditry.
was only dissuaded by Li Hao's joint Laishe, and Li Hao promised that nothing major would happen, so based on his trust in Li Hao, he didn't say anything in the future.
At that time, he was still puzzled by Li Hao's determined attitude, but now that he sees this scene, he understands a little.
"The bandits along the way were all arranged by you, when did you get them?" The prince asked.
When he arrived here, Li Hao didn't intend to hide it, so he replied: "Your Highness, this is too much of a minister, how can I have the ability to arrange so many people, most of them are real bandits, it's just that I asked Hou to help and recruit him in advance."
Only some of the stubborn ones were taken down by me and replaced by my own people, after all, we can't really let those sons of the family lose their lives."
"Also, you're really bad enough, you've been choking them lately." The prince smiled when he heard this, and then added: "But after all, it is for them to make meritorious contributions, and it is not a disadvantage to them.
It's just that I don't know what happened to Zicheng and Yuehou, whether it was going well or not."
Li Hao replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, the news of the disobedience of the sons and daughters of the nobles in the army has been spread, coupled with this fanfare of banditry, I think Peng Yi still wants to see our jokes."
Under the surprise attack of Zicheng and Cui Hou, there will definitely be no problems, you just wait to help them celebrate."
