Chapter 121: Discord Meter
According to Li Xiang's idea, since it is to go out to fight, there should be a departure ceremony, after all, this is the process when I used to watch TV, who knew that two days after drinking this wine, Cheng Yanjin sent someone to send a message, asking Li Xiang to take his people to meet at the West Gate in the middle of the night.
"Brother Cheng, what are we doing here? It's not going out to be a thief, why be so careful? ”
When he arrived at the West Gate, Li Xiang was almost frightened by the scene in front of him, it didn't seem to be going out to fight for the country, it was like a devil entering the village in the middle of the night, everyone tried to make as little noise as possible, is there anything unsightly?
"Your Highness doesn't know, it's been several years since the last war, in the eyes of all the people of the Tang Dynasty, as long as we go out to fight, it will definitely be a victory, and we can also take precautions, and go out of the city without most people knowing, even if we lose, the people don't know what we do, if we win, then we can hype."
Cheng Chumo said cautiously, this is also a kind of art of the ruler, if the world knows it when he goes out, and he is defeated after Tuyuhun, how to explain it to the people at that time?
"You bastards let me go, I can't go back in a prison car, you let me go now, and when my Tuyuhun army comes, I can still give you a way to live......"
While the two were talking, a discordant voice came from behind, Li Xiang took Zaterke with him on this expedition.
"It's not that I said you, what are you doing with this guy, Tuyuhun has already announced to the world, this guy has lost people in Chang'an City, and they no longer recognize his identity as the heir, so if I want to say just cut it down."
Cheng Chumo asked a little puzzled, if this person is still the heir of Tuyuhun, then we will be somewhat useful on the battlefield with this guy, but now we are a wasted person, and take him to eat food for nothing?
"Brother, I don't know, although this guy is not the crown prince of Tuyuhun now, and he has no right to inherit the throne, but this guy is an adult after all, and there are too many people who follow him up and down to eat, if we discuss it well along the way, maybe we can find an army for us, anyway, Tuyuhun's people don't want him anymore, will he still support Tuyuhun?"
Li Xiang blinked his eyes and said, This is also well thought out, although this guy claims to be loyal to Tuyuhun all the time, but we are very good at dividing the plot, as long as you still have weaknesses in this person, then we can dig it out sooner or later.
"Your kid is right, General Qin has the same idea as you, anyway, you don't have anything to do along the way, move forward with this guy in the back, and chat with him if you have nothing to do, this is the situation we just got about Tuyuhun, his half-brother is already the new prince of Tuyuhun."
Cheng Yanjin came from the front, originally came to arrange this matter, but he didn't expect Li Xiang to be in front of everyone, this kid is indeed a teachable child, and he can also be a person who has made achievements in the military.
"Don't worry, general, if you really go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, we may not be as good as you, and we don't have that ability, but if you play these conspiracies, I guess my ability is still enough."
Li Xiang's sycophant made Cheng Yanjin very comfortable, originally Cheng Yanjin was reluctant to take these sons and brothers, after all, these people had all kinds of problems along the way, but Li Xiang was able to come on time early, which was already very unexpected, of course, there was another Jin King Li Zhi, that guy was a little too much, and he was about to exceed the time.
"The emperor gave you three Zhechong Mansions, after you arrive, you have to step up your operation, you may not know the situation of the local army, now except for an empty shelf, I'm afraid you can't command anyone, go back and let people find you ten old soldiers, you can use them as a basis."
Every sycophant is useful, Li Xiang is convinced of this sentence, didn't Cheng Biting Jin give us ten veterans? Although there are people in Li Xiang's system, there are no veterans who are familiar with the local situation, and the combination of systematic soldiers and real soldiers can exert 100 percent power.
"Then I earned it, but the people in Chang'an City have said that the veterans under the general are the rest of their lives, whether it is fighting or training recruits, all of them are captured."
What Li Xiang said is true, veterans are the most valuable wealth on the battlefield, they have also followed Cheng Yanjin to fight in the south and north for many years, and now handing it over to Li Xiang can be regarded as giving them a good place to go, otherwise if they leave the army in a few years, these people will starve to death on the streets, although Cheng Yanjin also wants to take care of a few, but his ability is limited, and he can't pull all the veterans to his own home as a nursing home, right?
"These people will be entrusted to you by me, if anything happens, you look at my face, their families are also relatively poor, try to let them have a good result."
When talking about this matter, Cheng Yanjin's eyes were also a little moist, he had many old brothers who had died on the battlefield, but many people had no military merits, and in the end they could only retire hastily, and the court did not properly settle them, and many veterans did not live well.
"The general is relieved to be ......"
Li Xiang said that he could bear it, and was about to continue, when a sedan chair came in the distance.
"His Royal Highness King Jin is not joking, is he?"
When he saw the scene in front of him, Cheng Yanjin didn't know what to say, let's go to the battlefield to fight thousands of miles away, do you want to go over in a sedan chair? Do you know what the distance is?
"The Great General......
Cheng Biting Jin was about to go over to speak, but Li Xiang grabbed it, you can leave this matter alone......
Seeing Li Xiang's eyes, Cheng Yanjin immediately understood what was going on, your uncle and nephew fought from Chang'an to the front line, if the emperor knew about this scene, it is estimated that Li Zhi would have lost half of it, and Li Xiang didn't want to stumble on others, but if you send yourself to death, then don't blame us for not being able to stand with you.
Li Xiang has been secretly observing this ninth uncle, and he found that this ninth uncle is not the kind man said in history, such a person is a wolf under sheep's clothing, so Li Xiang should pay 100% attention to such a person, if he is not careful, his lethality is more than Li Tai............
