Returning to the long-awaited Shouwang Mansion, Li Yunze first met Yang Guozhong, who had been waiting for a long time.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, Yang Guozhong is obviously a lot darker, and his face is full of dust.

Seeing Li Yunze, Yang Guozhong was obviously very excited, "King, you are finally back~~~"

He was ordered to go to the Western Regions to recruit Mengshi, and the journey was indeed extremely hard.

It's just that he has gold in his hands, and he is willing to spend it, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation are the highest level of enjoyment, and he is not so miserable as he appeared.

Doing so is just a small trick to sell miserably in front of Li Yunze.

Li Yunze knew all this, but he was appeased in a loud voice, praising him for being reliable and would inevitably reuse Yunyun in the future.

Anyway, don't spend money on nice words, just open your mouth.

You go back and forth with each other, and the acting skills completely crush the so-called traffic stars.

When the drama ended, Li Yunze finally turned to the topic, "Guozhong, how did you do your affairs?" ”

"Minister, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!"

Yang Guozhong, who had a smile on his face, immediately told Li Yunze about his merits: "The king, the minister has selected one hundred and thirty-five Mengshi from the border army, all of whom are loyal and brave warriors. ”

And what Li Yunze is most concerned about is "What about Li Siye?" ”

Although he didn't understand why King Shou knew about a small Zhaowu captain in the distant town of Anxi, he didn't understand why he would go out of his way to recruit this little captain.

But for Yang Guozhong, who is good at drilling, conscientiously completing the work assigned by Li Yunze is his only chance to soar.

After seeing the prosperity and wealth of Chang'an City, Yang Guozhong didn't want to go back to be a county lieutenant at all.

He immediately invited Li Yunze to a separate courtyard in King Shou's mansion, where more than 100 Mengshi were gobbling up their lunch.

When everyone saw Yang Guozhong, who had recruited them, accompanied by a young man wearing a golden silk python robe, they immediately understood that this was the main master.

They all put down the bowls in their hands, and everyone got up and saluted Li Yunze.

"Meet the King~~~"

The Tang Army during Li Sanlang's period, although it was still said that it could still get ahead with military merits, there were too many sons and daughters of the noble family, and it invisibly occupied a large number of opportunities to win military exploits, and it was even more difficult for ordinary soldiers to get ahead.

At this time, the prince took the initiative to solicit, and it was a good opportunity for these border troops.

Li Yunze's gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed on Mengshi, who was standing in the front row, more than seven feet tall, and extremely burly and majestic.

"The Qing family is Li Siye?"

Of course, Li Yunze didn't ask casually, after all, if he recognized the wrong person, it would be very embarrassing. The reason why it was confirmed that this person was Li Siye was because he was the only one here wearing a lieutenant's uniform.

Li Siye saluted again with a calm expression, "Li Siye, the captain of Zhaowu in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, meet the king." ”

Looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be so happy, and even a little dissatisfied.

Li Yunze frowned slightly, and glanced sideways at Yang Guozhong on the side.

Yang Guozhong laughed.

When he found Li Siye in Anxi before, he directly said that King Shou wanted to recruit him, but he never thought that Li Siye refused outright, and was unwilling to be the prince's guard, but wanted to stay in Anxi to make contributions.

In this way, the main purpose of Yang Guozhong's travel of thousands of miles is completely lost.

Yang Guozhong, who didn't want to fail the first time he did things for King Shou, went through the door of the deputy capital of Anxi to protect Laiyao, and Lai Yao directly ordered Li Siye's military registration to be transferred to the prince's tent in Shouwang's Mansion.

In order to get through this way, Yang Guozhong not only spent a huge amount of money of more than five hundred taels of gold, but also pulled Li Yunze's tiger skin at the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and caused a lot of trouble.

The detailed story is estimated to be able to write a book of "Yang Zhao's Westward Journey", so I won't repeat it here.

Glancing at Yang Guozhong's expression, Li Yunze roughly understood what means this guy used.

But it doesn't matter, just bring Li Siye over.

Looking back at the famous Mo sword general in front of him, Li Yunze took two steps forward and simply held his hand, "I have heard for a long time that Captain Li is brave and unparalleled, and he is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate." To be able to get the help of Captain Li is the great luck of this king~~~"

Li Siye is the most typical battlefield general, and his personality is also straightforward.

Although he was dissatisfied with being sent to the comfortable Chang'an City to be the prince's guard, Li Yunze's sincere attitude and praise were very appetizing to him.

At this time, he finally smiled, "The minister is appreciated by the king, and I am willing to serve the king~~~"

"Hahahaha~~~"

Li Yunze, who was laughing, glanced at everyone's rice bowls, and immediately frowned, "All the warriors have come all the way to serve this king, why do you only eat these clear soups and little water?" ”

He turned his head and shouted angrily outside, "Gao Jinzhong! ”

Gao Jinzhong, who stayed in Shouwang's Mansion, hurriedly ran in, "King..."

"How dare you snub the warriors invited by this king?" Li Yunze, who had a black face, scolded, "Why is there no meat? Why is there no wine? Isn't it deducted by you? ”

Gao Jinzhong, who had a bitter face, replied, "King, the small one is to provide food according to the rules, and he has no guts to deduct it." One meal of meat for three days, one meal of wine for ten days, this is the rule set by the imperial court..."

The Tang Dynasty is naturally strong, and the prosperous era of Kaiyuan is also a prosperous era that has left a name in history.

But at this time, Datang's production capacity was not bad in the agricultural era, but it could not be compared with the industrial age at all.

Being able to eat meat for three days and a pot of wine for ten days is already a high standard.

"How can it be!"

Li Yunze, whose acting skills are online, continued to scold: "How can the warriors of this king arrange it with common sense? Stop talking nonsense, immediately go to the kitchen and let them cook, serve meat, serve hard dishes! There is also wine, one person and one jar to send over! This king will drink with all the warriors! ”

Gao Jinzhong, who had a sad face, withdrew from the courtyard, but he was anxious to circle in place like an ant on a hot pot.

Seeing this scene, Yang Guozhong came over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Well, the king wants wine and meat. It's okay to say that the meat is somewhat alive in the kitchen. Wine... Where are there more than 100 jars of wine? ”

"What's so hard about that?" Yang Guozhong, who is very good at being a person, smiled and took out a gold bar from his sleeve, "If there is no one in the house, then go outside and buy it." ”

"This, this, this..."Gao Jinzhong, whose eyes lit up, hurriedly said, "How can you let your uncle pay?" ”

"It doesn't matter."

Yang Guozhong smiled and stuffed the gold bar into Gao Jinzhong's hand, "I'll lend it to you for the time being, and then go to the account room to report the account." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

The wine and meat were sent over, and the border troops in the courtyard suddenly thundered with joy.

For these border troops who have been fighting fiercely with foreign races all year round, eating meat and drinking wine is their greatest pursuit.

King Shou's generosity naturally made them very satisfied.

"Go and ask the state to order them to come."

Following Li Yunze's instructions, Gao Jinzhong hurriedly invited Li Bai Dufu and others, who were settling in their respective places, to come here and give full play to the role of the atmosphere group to enliven the atmosphere.

As long as there is wine to drink, Li Bai has always been a comer.

The Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to military exploits, whether it is Du Fu or Wang Zhilian or Meng Haoran, naturally they will not hold it on the shelf.

Especially Cen Shen, he can be regarded as excited, pestering Li Siye and others to constantly ask about the war in the Western Regions, and Kang is excited as if he can't wait to raise a knife to fight now.

However, Gao Shi was here and expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Yunze for breaking the rules and changing the original supply to one meal of meat a day and one pot every three days.

This will be a huge overhead pressure for Shouwangfu.

As a farmer in Shouwangfu, Gao Shi is still very responsible.

Eating and drinking, as well as the subsequent payment of entry and settling-in allowances, soon made the favorability of Li Yunze quickly increase among the border soldiers.

The martial artists of this era are actually very pure, if you raise me, then I will give you my life.

Just like during the Anshi Rebellion, most of the rebels under An Lushan were Han'er.

Li Yunze had a deep talk with these more than 100 border troops one by one, not only giving them money and materials, but also assuring them that they were just ordinary pro-soldiers who were just members of the Shouwang Mansion now, and they would inevitably be able to soar in the future.

During the conversation, what Li Yunze didn't expect was that there was an unexpected gain!

"Your name is Feng Changqing?"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was thin, squinting, and not very good in his legs, his tone was slightly shocked, "It's called Feng Changqing, right?" ”

"Return to the King."

Feng Changqing simply saluted, "The small one is indeed called Feng Changqing." ”

Li Yunze simply turned his head to look at Yang Guozhong.

"The King." Yang Guozhong said with some embarrassment: "Although there is something wrong with Feng Jialangjun's body, his perseverance and determination are admirable..."

Through Yang Guozhong's narration, Li Yunze understood how this famous general came to Shouwangfu.

Yang Guozhong made a lot of trouble in Anxi to recruit soldiers for the Shouwang Mansion, and many people wanted to leave the arduous Western Regions and return to Chang'an City to follow the prince.

Except for Li Siye, who was named by Li Yunze, the others were carefully selected by Yang Guozhong.

Feng Changqing also went to Yang Guozhong, but he was not taken care of because of his health.

Unexpectedly, Feng Changqing's perseverance was very firm, and he would go to Yang Guozhong every day, even if Yang Guozhong went elsewhere, Feng Changqing would always follow.

Even when Yang Guozhong made it clear that he had recruited enough people and began to return to Chang'an City, Feng Changqing also followed the mountains and rivers all the way and did not give up.

This firm perseverance, against the backdrop of his slightly lame and thin body, is even more precious.

Li Siye and the others were all moved by his firm perseverance and took the initiative to help him intercede, so Yang Guozhong had to give him a place and bring him back to Chang'an City.

At this time, Yang Guozhong's mood was a little apprehensive, worried that Li Yunze would scold him for finding a cripple to come to the lake.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunze stretched out his hands to support his shoulders, and said with a sincere expression, "Guozhong, you have made a great contribution to this king!" In the future, no matter how great the sin you commit, as long as you don't rebel, this king will spare you once and never die! ”

"Huh?" Yang Guozhong was stunned, and he didn't understand what was going on at all.

Li Yunze naturally wouldn't explain anything to him, turned around and shook Feng Changqing's hand and said, "From now on, follow this king, and this king will definitely not treat you badly!" I won't let the temple people insult you! ”

Feng Changqing, who has been ridiculed and ridiculed all year round because of physical reasons, was greatly moved, and immediately bowed his head.

The news that Li Yunze had recruited more than 100 border troops was reported to Li Sanlang by Gao Lishi.

Li Sanlang, who was busy cultivating and seeking immortality, didn't care about this.

"A few hundred people, what is it?"

For Li Sanlang, his thoughts at this time were on the crown prince Li Ying, who was gradually starting to move because of the pressure.
