Fang Xuanling, who left the palace, said with some concern: "I'm afraid the prince's situation is not good, and he has begun to use this kind of way, which is impossible in the past."

Our prince, who attaches great importance to face, hey, I don't know what kind of pressure the Ming court is facing now, so that the prince can make this decision. ”

Saying that, Fang Xuanling sighed, with a worried face.

"You can pull it." When Wei Zheng heard this, he said angrily, "You said it, that was in the past, after all, at that time, he was the prince, and now, heh, do you think he still cares about face?"

If the old man hadn't personally learned it, he would have almost believed it......"

He really understood, and now Li Chengqian, that's really fucking shameless!

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng pondered for a moment, and then said, "Our Highness has really grown up too fast, just this time, I think there is a chance that His Highness did it on purpose." ”

Hearing Wei Zheng say this, Fang Xuanling was obviously stunned, stopped in place, looked at Wei Zheng and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Just look at His Majesty's reaction." Wei Zheng said, "Now that the crown prince is no longer just the crown prince, His Majesty may also regret the original will."

If it's just the crown prince holding this will, it's nothing.

But if it is the king of the Ming Dynasty, it is a little inappropriate to hold this will.

Not to mention anything else, His Royal Highness now has hundreds of thousands of string controllers under his command, and if he takes Tuyuhun again, then his command will be even stronger, if he still holds such a will to patrol the heavens.

What do you think ......?"

As he spoke, he said meaningfully, "Who can sleep?"

But His Highness didn't make any mistakes, and there was no way to take back this will, no, His Highness personally sent a reason, and this time, everyone was relieved. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "I've been too busy lately, but I haven't thought about it." ”

That being said, it's just that he really didn't think about it?

Wei Zheng didn't say much, whether you thought about it before or not, anyway, I made it clear to you today.

By now, you should know too.

Who hasn't had a purpose these days?

That's what he did.

Wei Zheng is indeed a loyal minister, but who he is loyal to is debatable.

As for Fang Xuanling, he still has his heart set on Li Er, after all, he and Li Er are a community of interests.

On the other side, after Duan Lun picked up Tao Mingyu, he was also excited.

On the way, he asked, "The old man has also heard of the reputation of your ancestors."

It's just that there are few surviving works, and I haven't seen the real face, which is really a pity. ”

He didn't say anything.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, it is really not a big deal to have heard of the name of Tao Hongjing, the prime minister of the mountains.

Tao Mingyu, who was in his thirties, looked like a weak scholar, and said with a smile: "There are not many works left by the ancestors, and the only ones are mostly destroyed in the war."

The rest don't know where to eat ashes, if it weren't for the chance to know Qi Guogong this time, presumably the codex left by the ancestors would be broken when they come to me. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Mingyu looked helpless.

Duan Lun didn't speak, but he inadvertently glanced at this Tao Mingyu, and his heart was the same as Mingjing.

Obviously, this guy is also an opportunist.

is the same kind of person as Yang Wan from their Ministry of Industry.

Don't think about it, this guy must have heard about the recent changes in the imperial court, and wanted to recommend himself but had no way, and just heard that Changsun Wuji's workshop was also recruiting craftsmen, so he planned to take Changsun Wuji's path.

However, this is also good, which shows that he is quite confident in the method of filling steel recorded in the Codex of his ancestors.

No matter what kind of person he is, if he really can play such a role, it will be a good thing for his Ministry of Industry after all.

As for rewards and punishments, that's Li Er's business, what does it have to do with him?

……

Watering River County.

The war has fallen into a stalemate, and no one can do anything to anyone for a while.

The two sides have invested hundreds of thousands of troops, and how can they tell the winner in three or two days.

Tuyuhun has the advantage of military strength, and the Ming royal court has the advantage of armament, and both sides have significant advantages.

It's a matter of course to be like this.

And the Dohe Army, which encircled and suppressed the bandits in Dohe County, has now also gathered together.

Dabuqu, his uncle Sun Hai, and Murong Xiaojun's four sons were eating and discussing around a bonfire at this moment.

"As soon as we joined forces, these bandits began to scatter and flee, and it became more and more difficult to exterminate them."

After Dabuqu finished speaking, he sighed: "This group of cows, why didn't I know that they had lost their conscience so much!"

Let Lao Tzu catch it again, and dry them on the fucking flagpole one by one! ”

He is really angry, mainly because he has seen the many crimes committed by these guys in Douhe County during this time.

"It's all cheap!" Murong Chengbang said, "These guys should be divided into five horses!" ”

As the youngest of the four brothers, and the one with the least city government, he almost said whatever came to mind.

From his performance, it can be seen that the relationship between their brothers is not bad.

"The little boy is right, the five horses are cheaper than them." Dabuqu also smiled when he heard this.

Since they surrendered to Li Chengqian, this title has changed.

"Two uncles." On the side, Murong Chengzhong asked, "Now that there is a fight in the north, why doesn't King Ming let us wave our troops north to support one or two?"

It's just a small bandit here, and even if we leave 10,000 soldiers and horses, it's more than enough.

Isn't there a war going on in the north? ”

"The eldest prince may not understand the deep meaning." Shusun Hai said with a smile, "If we pour the river army for the time being, it will be impossible to wave our troops north." ”

He didn't say the specific reason deeply, don't look at Murong Chengzhong's brothers shouting one uncle after another, but what will happen in the future, who can say clearly?

What Li Chengqian's purpose is, he can be considered to have figured it out now.

It's not so much to let them exterminate those bandits, but to use those bandits to drag them down for the time being.

At least this big war has nothing to do with them.

But he can also understand this, after all, they have just returned to the Ming Dynasty, how can Li Chengqian trust them 100%, unless there is no way, otherwise, Li Chengqian will not call them to participate in the war.

At this time, it would be a big problem if they turned against each other.

However, it is also interesting to say that the more Li Chengqian behaves like this, the more they trust Li Chengqian.

If they really didn't have the slightest sense of prevention, they were afraid that Li Chengqian would lead them to a dead end.

"Is this a distrust of us?" Murong Chengjun immediately snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that we can still join forces with Murong Fuyun's old man?"

Even if we don't wave our troops north, then we can fight the city of pouring rivers occupied by the king of Dingcheng and Dayan Mangjiebo. ”

"You're still so anxious." Murong Chengzhong said with a smile, "As long as we sit upright in our own actions, we will have opportunities in the future to fight." ”

He understood that Li Chengqian's main defense was not against their brothers.

On the contrary, Li Chengqian sent his brothers here for the purpose of taking advantage of them to keep an eye on the river pouring army.

In this way, it is self-evident who Li Chengqian is guarding against.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Murong Xiaojun's death is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many people.

It's actually normal to have some thoughts that shouldn't be.

"So we're going to do it?" Murong Chengjun was a little excited, and the reason why he was willing to come was because he wanted to capture the king of Dingcheng alive, not to compete with those homeless people.

"It's not about exhaustion." Shusun Hai also said at this time, "Your Highness's move also has the intention of training troops, after all, we are still a little unfamiliar with the armaments of the Ming Dynasty."

I've seen these battles, and although everyone is getting familiar with the new types of ordnance, they're becoming much more proficient in using them.

But compared with the resentful army, the gap is not a star and a half.

A few sons may not have seen it, but General Dabu and the old man did.

Their array of crossbow arrows combined with incendiary grenades, let's put it this way, in our previous encirclement battles, they can do it faster, with fewer casualties, and less effort, but at the same time they can achieve the same results as us. ”

"The resentful army is so powerful?" Murong Chengjun was a little incredulous.

Although it was their first time with the army, they were not ignorant of military affairs.

Before, they found that the combat power of the redressed River Pouring Army had increased by more than one percent, who knew that there was such a big gap with the resentful army.

Shusun Hai nodded and said: "That's a resentful army, from the day the army was formed, it was the most difficult and vicious battle, and it was a common thing for them to fight less and more."

In addition, all the way down, there has not been a single defeat, and it is normal for morale to be high.

For an army, high morale can be transformed into combat effectiveness.

Plus how thoroughly they have studied these new ordnances?

It is no exaggeration to say that when the Ming Dynasty studied these weapons, it was estimated that they were tailor-made for them.

We still have to practice.

It is estimated that King Ming also wants us to train our soldiers well when we encircle and suppress those bandits.

When we have completely wiped out the bandits in Dohe County, we may be a surprise army at that time. ”

What he said was also meaningful, and if he exterminated the bandits, it would mean that they had completely broken with the Tuyuhun tribes.

Even if they still want to return to Murong Fuyun's command, I'm afraid that those famous kings under his command will not agree.

After all, the two sides are already a blood feud.

This may be Li Chengqian's purpose.

Of course, he wouldn't say that explicitly.

"Rather, those animals that complain about the army are real animals...... I don't know how King Ming practiced. Dabuqu on the side also thought so.

He's seen it.

"Then train the soldiers!" When Murong Chengzhong heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "What the resentful army can do, I can also do." ”

He is a man who understands, no matter how the name of the river army is changed, and no matter who it submits to, the four brothers must be closer to the old ministry of these fathers.

Even if they become officials in the Ming Dynasty in the future, this is their confidence in the future.

……

On the other side, outside the city.

Yi Yuanfeng and Zhao Yan also came back a long time ago.

At this time, Li Chengqian summoned the generals of the resentful army, Gao Chunxing, Wei Chi Baolin, Ma Ye and others to his tent.

In addition to them, there was also Wang Lin, who had just arrived here in charge of escorting grain and grass.

"Everyone knows about the big battle in the north." When Li Chengqian saw that everyone had arrived, he immediately said, "The big battle in the north should not end for a while and a half.

Murong Fuyun must still have reinforcements, we have to wait, and when the time comes, we will annihilate Murong Fuyun's army in one fell swoop.

But when we waited for this opportunity, our first thing was to block the army in the city of Douhe to go north for reinforcements.

Once they rush out and go north for reinforcements, then our battle will not be so easy to fight.

After all, the Western Army has now reached their maximum endurance.

Therefore, the tens of thousands of troops of King Dingcheng and Dayan Mangjie must be dragged to death by us in this river city. ”

As he spoke, Li Chengqian slammed his fist at the location of the river city on the map, "From today onwards, before our city walls are built, the army will give me a crazy siege!"

This king wants Dayan Mangjiebo and the king of Dingcheng to have no time to care, and they want to keep them busy resisting our attacks every day. ”

"The last general commands!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Yuanfeng, Wan Qipu, Zhao Yan, and Pleboqi all bowed their hands and said.

As far as they are concerned, since Li Chengqian has given the order, they will complete it without discount.

How about tens of thousands of people opposite?

When they defended the city in the past, there were not so many people in the resentful army, and in the face of Dayan Mang's army of tens of thousands, they also killed the enemy army?

Self-confidence is built after one big win after another.

If you want to ask Wan Qipu what the chances of winning this battle are, he dares to pat his chest and tell you that eighty percent of them are sure of all annihilation, and the remaining two percent are fish that have slipped through the net.

"Ma Ye, your errand will not be repeated by this king, it is still the same sentence, before the end of the war, horses are not allowed to enter and leave Watering River City." Li Chengqian looked at Ma Ye again.

Ma Ye nodded heavily and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, but there is a horse in and out of Watering River City, and the last general will come to see you!" ”

He also knew that next, they had the heaviest task.

If Dayan Mangjiebo and King Dingcheng were informed of the great battle in the north, they would not be able to rush out recklessly, which was definitely not acceptable to them.

"High purity." Li Chengqian looked at Gao Chunxing again and said, "You can also tighten up a little over there, and try to build a city wall that can barely resist as quickly as possible."

With General Yi and their cover for you, you can rest assured and boldly build the city wall.

Of course, the benefits that should be given to them should not be relaxed, especially at this stage, you know? ”

"Wechen understands." Gao Chunxing said, "Wechen has made a ranking list before, and everyone's rest days have been arranged, so that it will not affect the construction period too much." ”

"That's a good job." Li Chengqian also heard about this, so he immediately nodded and said, "After arranging the rotation schedule, there are people resting every day, and there are people working every day, which is the best for us."

At this stage, the most important thing for us is word-of-mouth.

Remember this sentence, the gold and silver cups are not as good as word of mouth, when the people began to promote for us, then our Ming court has reached the most unbreakable time. ”

"That's right." Gao Chunxing said with a smile, "In the past two days, I heard from those who came back from Xiu Mu that on the side of Changsun Chong, many people are now enthusiastically signing up to help His Highness build the city wall.

It can be seen that the influence of this word-of-mouth is in. ”

Speaking of which, he was really convinced by Li Chengqian.

It's just a ten-day break, which is not a big deal, but it can make him win people's hearts.

No wonder people are kings!

Li Chengqian smiled, no longer say this, this truth, there is nothing to say, the common people are so unpretentious, let them go to the battlefield, they may be a little afraid, but if they are allowed to support their families, they are willing to try.

"Wang Lin, how much surplus grain do you have?" After saying this, Li Chengqian looked at Wang Lin.

When Wang Lin heard this, he immediately said: "Back to Your Highness, there are still as much as thirty percent of the grain and grass in the household department, of course, these do not include those that have been shipped to the cities.

It can still be supported for the time being, and now the household department is trying to find a way to buy some grain from Datang and come back. ”

As he spoke, he told him about the idea he had come up with before.

This is actually a kind of show-off, mainly to get Li Chengqian's affirmation.

Li Chengqian didn't understand what he meant, and said: "This thing is done well, if you really want to talk about it, money and food have never been saved, and what can be saved is at most basic food and clothing, if you really want to create a prosperous world, how can it be saved?"

After you go back, you tell Pu Shangshu that the money and food that should be spent, then spend it, and don't give it to this king's province or that.

I'm really going to wait for us to defeat Tuyuhun, hehe, ...... then."
