Li Xiaogong didn't rush to speak, but glanced back at Li Er, nodded when he saw that he was imperceptible, and then said: "We only saw the result, and we knew that His Highness won this battle, defeated Murong Fuyun, and even annexed the entire Tuyuhun.

This is what we know, but don't forget, it's a war! Regardless of His Royal Highness's age, just talking about the strength of the Ming Dynasty, if he wants to win this battle, what kind of pressure His Royal Highness is under, we have no way of knowing.

Moreover, judging from the current information, His Highness divided this great battle into three battlefields, each of which was cut into several small battlefields.

It's actually a very risky thing.

Compared with a big war, it is often a matter of triggering the whole body, and the defeat on any battlefield may cause irreparable results.

Therefore, don't look at His Highness to win, but it will not be easy to win this battle. ”

"What's the difference between what you say and what you don't?" Hearing Li Xiaogong say this, Xiao Yu frowned, "Don't any of us know that it is not easy for His Highness to win?" Do you need to say this? ”

"We don't know the exact situation yet, but there's only so much we can say." Li Xiaogong was a little embarrassed, the reason why he stood up was just to defend Li Chengqian.

After all, there is such a number one person in the clan, and as the prince of the clan, he naturally has to maintain one or two.

But there are some things that he actually doesn't have to say more.

"Alright, wait." Hearing this, Li Er looked at the envoy who was still at a loss for His Highness, and asked, "There is no more news from Hezhou?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, our general has sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the news, and his subordinates just came back first to report the victory, and the more detailed situation will be sent back later."

Li Er nodded, then waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat.

"Everyone is also dispersed, no matter what, it is also a good thing for me Datang that Gao Ming won Tuyuhun. For the time being, the situation is unclear, and the situation is clearer, and then we will discuss. ”

The news spread too widely, making the whole Chang'an known, let alone the court.

There is no way, since Li Chengqian tossed a lot of good things in Sun Moon Mountain, not to mention Chang'an, there are many caravans in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the news has also scattered with those caravans.

Now not to mention the court, even the most talked about in the Chang'an market is the crown prince Li Chengqian's defeat of Tuguhun, and it is estimated that this topic will become a pastime for countless people after tea and dinner in a few days.

"The ministers are leaving." Hearing Li Er say this, everyone immediately said goodbye.

However, as soon as everyone left the palace, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng consciously waited aside.

They knew that Li Er would still summon them, how could such a big matter be finished in a few words?

It's just that there were so many people just now, it's inconvenient to say.

Sure enough, it was just a moment of effort, and there was an attendant who summoned Fang Xuanling and others to the Liangyi Palace.

"See Your Majesty."

"All here?" Seeing that everyone was there, Li Er said, "What do you think about Gao Ming's defeat of Tugu Hun?" ”

"It's not clear yet, and we can't say why." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "But what is certain is that His Highness has indeed won this battle.

As for what happened experientially, we will have to wait until the situation becomes clearer. ”

Hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Er beckoned, and immediately two attendants took out a map of Kanyu, and Li Er also walked down and said, "This is the map of Tuyuhun that I asked people to draw after Gao Ming went to Tuyuhun." ”

Speaking of this, Li Er pointed at the map and said, "Judging from the information we have obtained at the moment, Gao Ming's troops are divided into the River Pouring Army, the Western Army, and the Grievance Army, with a total strength of about 70,000.

And Murong Fuyun's troops are divided into the King of the West Sea, the King of Dingcheng, and other famous kings, plus himself, the total strength is about 160,000.

Then there are 20,000 troops of the coalition army of the Western Regions, plus more than 30,000 troops of Ashina.

These are the forces that were officially put into this great battle, and the total number of troops is nearly 300,000.

And the forces that are really subordinate to Gao Ming's cronies are actually only the Western Expeditionary Army and the Resentful Army, with a total strength of only 40,000.

This is also the strength of Gao Ming when he went north.

As for the river pouring army, it was a prisoner after Gao Ming defeated Murong Fuyun.

Strictly speaking, Gao Ming used these 40,000 troops to accomplish an almost impossible feat, and it only took a few months before and after.

In other words, when Gao Ming went north, the situation was worrying......"

Hearing Li Er say this, everyone was silent.

Some things can't stand thinking about it, and once you think about it, everyone can't help but sigh.

Did you say that Li Chengqian was amazing?

Hehe, of course it's amazing.

Judging from Li Er's account just now, Li Chengqian's situation when he went north was indeed worrying.

As for how Li Er got these data, it is needless to say, it is impossible for Li Er not to pay attention to everything Li Chengqian is doing now.

Whether it is from a father's point of view to care about his son, or from the perspective of an emperor who cares about his throne, he will do a lot of things in secret.

But even so, Li Er was also amazed by Li Chengqian's actions.

An army of 40,000 marched north, facing an army of hundreds of thousands, Li Chengqian not only became stronger and stronger, but also completed the final reversal, defeated Murong Fuyun, and became the new master of the land of Tuyuhun.

And in just a few months, that's a surprising performance.

Even if everyone knew that it would take a long time for Li Chengqian to stabilize the various rebellions in Tuyuhun in the future, in terms of the ability that Li Chengqian has shown now, these are not problems.

"Moreover, judging from the situation from the beginning, even Ashina Lili from the Western Regions came to aid Murong Fuyun." The eldest grandson Wuji said, "After those ordnance from the Ming Dynasty appeared in Beisha City before, Wechen sent someone to investigate, according to Wechen's investigation.

It was Ashina Zhari who sold these ordnance to Goguryeo.

And Ashina's move is equivalent to framing His Royal Highness, after all, His Royal Highness is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the ordnance he developed actually appeared in the hands of the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, thus mutilating my Tang Dynasty soldiers.

This is not a small trouble for His Highness.

For this reason, it is rare to be attacked.

Besides, if His Highness annexed Tuyuhun in just one year, wouldn't Ashina be worried that he would be the next target to be annexed?

Lips and teeth are cold!

Therefore, if you want to say that Ashina Lili supported His Highness from the beginning, Weichen doesn't believe it.

As for the countries of the Western Regions, it is even more nonsense.

His Royal Highness originally said on the Taiji Hall that he would crisscross the Western Regions, but now this word has already spread all over the country, and it is impossible for the countries of the Western Regions not to know.

And His Royal Highness, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is the so-called king has no jokes, since he has said it, then His Royal Highness always has to practice this sentence.

Otherwise, how do people in the world think of His Highness?

Murong Fuyun also valued this opportunity, so he had the plan to unite the countries of the Western Regions to send troops to the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, if it weren't for the alliance signed by Murong Fuyun and Ashina Lili and the countries of the Western Regions, how could their army enter Tuyuhun?

If this was the case, Murong Fuyun would definitely not wave his troops south.

All kinds of indications show that there is a reason that we don't know about Ashina's renegade and the countries of the Western Regions, and this reason must be related to His Highness.

It's just that Weichen can't figure it out.

It's okay to say that Ashina Juli alone is short-sighted, and he and His Highness have no direct conflict of interest for the time being.

But the countries of the Western Regions are different, and how His Highness persuaded the countries of the Western Regions to reneg on the alliance with Murong Fuyun is worth pondering.

After all, even if we stand in the position of His Highness, I am afraid that we will not be able to solve this problem. ”

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, everyone nodded.

This is indeed the most puzzling thing for them.

They were also thinking about how they could persuade the countries of the Western Regions if they stood on Li Chengqian's standpoint, but after thinking about it, everyone sighed in unison.

In other words, none of them could figure it out.

And they couldn't even think of a way, but Li Chengqian did, which has to make people think about it.

Li Er is actually thinking about this question, and again, there is no answer.

Even he could not persuade the countries of the Western Regions to fight against Li Chengqian's position.

At this moment, an attendant hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, Taozhou Mi Song." ”

As he spoke, the chamberlain respectfully placed the piece on Li Er's table.

When Li Er heard this, he immediately picked up the piece and looked at it seriously.

And Fang Xuanling and the others also looked at Li Xuanling's recital with a blank eye.

Li Er, who looked at the chapter, shook his head and smiled from time to time, nodded his head in approval from time to time, and looked at Fang Xuanling and the others with straight eyes.

No, what the hell is going on, you squeak.

At this time, Taozhou's secret performance must be related to Li Chengqian, don't you know that everyone is in a hurry?

If Wei Chi Jingde is here at this time, he will probably be urging the old man's cheekiness.

However, this group of civil officials who boasted of being humble and gentlemen had to look at it with a blank eye.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?" In the end, it was Hou Junji who asked.

Li Er handed the piece to the chamberlain and said, "See for yourselves." ”

After everyone finished reading the recital, they were all full of emotion.

"Your Highness, this is risking your life!" Wei Zheng sighed with a rare sigh.

Since hearing that Li Chengqian defeated Murong Fuyun, this is the first time he has expressed his opinion.

After hearing this, Xiao Yu also nodded and said: "If the King of Dingcheng sees through His Highness's empty city plan, the outcome of this battle is unpredictable!" ”

Before, they only knew that Li Chengqian had won, but they didn't know how Li Chengqian had won.

But now that we know it, we can only say that it is indeed not easy for Li Chengqian to win this battle.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that Li Chengqian still won after all.

"From the standpoint of a military general, although it is not easy for His Highness to win this battle, it is really beautiful!" Li Xiaogong praised it.

When Hou Junji heard this, he also said: "Indeed, from the perspective of a military general, His Royal Highness won this battle cleanly, and whether it is the use of soldiers or tactics, it is beyond reproach.

The point is, His Highness is still young, and given time, it will be amazing......"

As he spoke, he sighed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Such a brilliant Li Chengqian really made them old fellows Alexander.

And Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Li Er and others were silent.

In their view, the biggest problem here is not at all what kind of thrilling adventure Li Chengqian experienced to win this battle, but how Li Chengqian persuaded the countries of the Western Regions.

If they don't understand this question, they will be in a state of panic.

There is no way, the uncontrollable Li Chengqian is definitely not the prince of the Tang Dynasty they want.

Again, what I give you is yours.

It's that simple!

"Your Majesty, do you want to summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing?" After a long time, Fang Xuanling said something earth-shattering.

Hearing him say this, Wei Zheng looked at him in disbelief, he never thought that the first person to say this would be Fang Xuanling.

And the eldest grandson Wuji also nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing." ”

Although he and Fang Xuanling have become more and more estranged in recent years, the two quickly reached a tacit understanding on this matter.

Li Chengqian can no longer be allowed to develop freely.

If they just wanted to curb the development of the Ming Dynasty before, then now, they want to recall Li Chengqian back to Chang'an and put him under their noses.

If Li Chengqian is allowed to continue like this, who knows what he will toss.

In case Li Chengqian sent troops to Xue Yantuo regardless of importance, the Ming court would really pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty at that time.

Even if Li Chengqian is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing is still not allowed to happen.

When Li Er heard this, he was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't rush to make a statement, but looked at the others, and then said, "What about your opinions?" ”

"I don't want to say whether His Highness is willing to come back." When Wei Zheng heard this, he said, "I plan that His Royal Highness is really willing to come back, how to deal with that land in Tuyuhun?" ”

"This is simple, and it is classified as a fief of His Highness." The eldest grandson Wuji immediately said.

"Fiefdom." Wei Zheng turned his head and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and rarely scolded him, "Qi Guogong is such a big face, people have a knife and a shot out of the territory, as soon as you touch the skin of your mouth, you will reward others?"

Okay, the old man will be rewarded when you have a big face, and the fiefdom will be rewarded!

But what should be done with the nearly 100,000 people in the fiefdom?

What should those officials of the Ming court do?

It's as simple as you say.

Moreover, will His Highness return?

He has just annexed Tuyuhun, and you let others throw away the fruits of victory and return to Chang'an, do you think it is possible? ”

Wei Zheng knew what they were worried about, but he couldn't say it clearly.

Of course, he was worried, but that's not how it worked.

If Li Chengqian really came back at this time, he could think with his ass that when the time came, whether it was Li Er, Fang Xuanling, or the eldest grandson Wuji, they would suppress Li Chengqian openly and secretly.

After all, Li Er is still in his prime, and there is no need for a prince who is too powerful at this time.

But if you really want to do this, is it fair to Li Chengqian?

Well, don't say whether it's fair or not, can Li Chengqian be angry with this?

At that time, if Li Chengqian will turn the Tang Dynasty upside down, he himself will not believe it.

Maybe the battle for the throne will break out early, so why bother.

Li Xiaogong looked at all this, but he didn't say much.

He wasn't going to get involved in it.

As for Hou Junji, he didn't speak, no matter what he said now, he is also Li Chengqian's father-in-law, so he naturally hopes that Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince will become more and more stable.

But there are things that can be done, but not said.

"Wei Gong has a point." Fang Xuanling nodded immediately when he heard this, and said, "But Your Highness has now annexed the entire Tuyuhun, and it is no longer comparable to the little Chishuiyuan."

In any case, His Royal Highness is still too young after all, and he is ambitious and powerful, if he does not have the assistance of virtuous people, he will worry about His Highness's ......"

His words won the hearts of the people.

Whether it is Wei Zheng or Xiao Yu, even Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji, or Dai Bin and Duan Lun, who have not spoken, all think so.

Of course, there is a reason why they recognize it.

And Fang Xuanling naturally understood that it would be impossible to recall Li Chengqian back to Chang'an at this time.

Don't say anything else, just say that Li Chengqian is not happy, and they don't recruit.

The key thing is that for the time being, everyone doesn't want to give up Li Chengqian, the prince.

In the final analysis, it is Li Chengqian, the crown prince, who can bring them too many benefits.

It is absolutely impossible for them to give up Li Chengqian.

However, it is not okay to let Li Chengqian grow freely outside.

There is too much involved, even Wei Zheng will not agree.

"Then according to what Fang Qing said, what should I do?" Li Er actually guessed Fang Xuanling's intentions, but this was also a problem he was thinking about, so he immediately added fuel to the fire.

Fang Xuanling didn't hide it, but said generously: "Your Highness has taken Tuyuhun this time, and there must be a lack of talents to govern the place.

Although the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty are two kingdoms, no matter what, His Royal Highness is always my Tang Prince. ”

In the final analysis, Fang Xuanling wanted to install his own people in the Ming Dynasty.

To be precise, it is not his own people, but officials of Datang.

Since Li Chengqian could not be summoned back to Chang'an, then infiltrate the Ming court.

It was the only way he could think of it at the moment.

And no one will refuse this method.

Whether it is Wei Zheng, who is known for his outspokenness, or Xiao Yu, who is known for his uprightness, even those scholars will not refuse.

If you think about it carefully, maybe even Li Chengqian will not refuse.

Without him, this is the appeal of interests.

In the future, Li Chengqian will eventually return to Datang to inherit the treasure.

But if Li Chengqian returns to Datang at that time, his team will not have any forces, which means that the vested interests of the original Datang will be eliminated.

At that time, he was able to sit on the throne before he became a ghost.

Even if the Li family sits on the throne, it is pushed behind the back by the Guanlong Group.

At that time, if these guys join forces and launch another person to fight Li Chengqian in the ring, it will be really difficult to say who will kill the deer.

But no matter who kills the deer, one thing is certain, and that is the chaos in the world......

Therefore, under the premise of this interest, both Wei Zheng, who is dedicated to the people, and Li Chengqian, who has his own lofty ambitions, have to compromise.

There is nothing new under the sun, it boils down to one sentence, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit.

Everything has to make way for it in the face of profit.

"Indeed." Li Er also nodded and said, "After Gao Ming takes Tuyuhun, it will no longer be a petty fight, and he will really have the ability to compete with the crowd."

As far as I know, the Ming Dynasty does lack some talents to govern the place, and as my father, I also have the responsibility and obligation to support him.

In this way, you Aiqing will discuss it, make a list, and leave the rest to me to arrange. ”

If you want to say shameless, it has to be Li Er.

He obviously didn't want Li Chengqian to get out of his control, but his words were extraordinarily lofty, of course, what kind of face do you need to do his part?

As long as he can achieve his goal, let alone be ashamed, he can say it without blushing and heartbeat.

"The ministers receive orders." The crowd immediately bowed and saluted.

Li Er's words are actually exquisite, to put it bluntly, it is all rain.

After seeing that everyone nodded, Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling, and said: "Pass the decree Cheng Biting Jin, let him ask Xue Yantuo what he means, I will give him a month, either to capture the Tang Dynasty, or let Cheng Biting Jin wave his troops north!"

In short, within a month, I want results! ”

Hearing Li Er say this, everyone understood.

FeelingsLi Er is also guarding against Li Chengqian, but this is normal.

If Xue Yantuo fell into the hands of Li Chengqian, it would be embarrassing for Datang.

"Let's all disperse, ponder the list." After speaking, Li Er waved his hand, he was also quite tired today.

To tell the truth, since Li Chengqian gained a firm foothold in the northwest, he has become more and more tired day by day.

More tired than when Li Chengqian caused trouble to him in Chang'an!

When everyone heard this, they didn't say anything more, and immediately retreated, they actually understood what Li Er meant.

And after they left, Li Er beckoned again, and said: "Let the secret spy department investigate, I want to know, why did the countries of the Western Regions and Ashina suddenly reinforce the Ming Dynasty, there must be something we don't know about this, let me find out, especially what is the deal between the countries of the Western Regions and Gao Ming." ”

For this point, Li Er is very mindful.

He found that Li Chengqian had done something he couldn't do.

This made him extremely uncomfortable.

And the people who have just left the palace are also discussing this topic.

What deal did the countries of the Western Regions reach with Li Chengqian?

Everyone was puzzled.

I can't figure this out, they are a group of smart people who claim to be rare in the world, but they are afraid that they will not be able to eat anything in a short time.

As for the miracles created by Li Chengqian, hehe, everyone is used to it.

If they were a little shocked at first, they are much calmer now.

No way, for more than a year, Li Chengqian has stimulated them a lot.

"Next, it's lively." Wei Zheng looked up at the night sky that had already darkened, shook his head and said, "Toss, toss hard, anyway, Datang can let you toss for a few more years." ”

"You ......"
