Volume 1 Entering the Tang Dynasty Chapter 85 How to do it
"Since I Lao Cheng has the right of first choice, I have to use it as soon as possible, and besides, the bull's nose will definitely stumble on my Lao Cheng when the time comes, let's call it the first strike!" Cheng Yanjin said his analysis very proudly.
Lu Chen played with the folding fan and listened to Cheng Yanjin's words, and secretly praised Cheng Yanjin in his heart, if anyone thinks that this Guogong who can survive for three dynasties is a reckless man, then he is a fool.
"Then Wei Zheng also followed and resigned today, I'm afraid Su Guogong is going to set off quickly!" Lu Chen directly told Cheng Yanjin about Wei Zheng's farewell to him.
"What?!" As soon as he heard that Wei Zheng had left the Niangzi Pass, Cheng Yanjin stood up from the chair with a "whoosh", "Then I have to leave quickly!" Cheng Yanjin arched his hand at Lu Chen, greeted Cheng Fei directly, and walked out of the hall quickly.
Cheng Yanjin was in a hurry, and it happened that Liu Laosan was carrying a hot water kettle and walked here, and Cheng Yanjin and Liu Laosan almost collided.
"Oops!" Liu Laosan was directly startled by Cheng Biting Jin.
Cheng Yanjin arched his hand at Liu Laosan and said, "I'm sorry!" After speaking, he hurriedly left with Cheng Fei.
"Huh?!" Seeing Cheng Yanjin apologizing to him, Liu Laosan was directly stunned in place, and looked at the back of Cheng Yanjin who went out in a daze.
"What's wrong, Lao Liu?" Lu Chen also noticed Liu Laosan, who was a little stunned, and called Liu Laosan.
"My lord, am I dreaming?" Liu Laosan looked at Lu Chen with an expression of disbelief.
"What are you dreaming about?" Lu Chen suddenly didn't understand what Liu Laosan meant.
"Grandpa Guo saluted me just now!" Liu Laosan put down the kettle in his hand, and pointed in the direction of the courtyard gate with trembling hands.
In Liu Laosan's heart, he was colliding with Grandpa Guo, not to mention colliding with Grandpa Guo, when he was working in the blacksmith workshop, he collided with the steward, and the steward flashed a slap and scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes!" ”
And today, he collided with the dignified Su Guogong, and Su Guogong actually apologized to himself, how could he not surprise and move Liu Laosan.
"Oh, he almost hit you, shouldn't he apologize to you?" Lu Chen said disappreciatively.
"But just now it was the minion who almost bumped into Lord Guogong! Isn't it right that adults should scold their minions? Liu Laosan looked at Lu Chen with some surprise, Liu Laosan was surprised that Lu Chen actually thought that Su Guogong should apologize to himself, you must know that in this society with clear hierarchies and human life, if Cheng Yanjin had cut him with a knife just now, there would be no problem.
Lu Chen listened to Liu Laosan's words, and didn't know what to say, did he tell Liu Laosan: "All men are created equal, but the division of labor is different?" Lu Chen can't say this kind of words of later generations, if it is spread out in this era, Lu Chen will be directly killed, which is to be labeled as "committing chaos" and "having no rules", Lu Chen thought for a while, looked at Liu Laosan and said: "Ah, it is estimated that it is to give face to this military division!" Haven't you heard of the three officials in front of the prime minister? Then Su Guogong has a request for me, how can he embarrass you? ”
"Hmmm! Should be! Should be! Hearing Lu Chen's explanation, Liu Laosan kept nodding his head, his mustard-like identity is naturally different from his own adult, his own adult is a figure with hands and eyes, and Su Guogong doesn't care about himself because he is an adult's family.
"Alright, I'll go out! You can pack these things! Lu Chen instructed Liu Laosan, and Lu Chen hurriedly walked out of the small courtyard and went straight to Li Xiuning's mansion.
When he came to Li Xiuning's mansion, Lu Chen met Li Xiuning under the leadership of Lu Qiuming.
When Lu Chen saw Li Xiuning, he saw that Li Xiuning was wearing a goose yellow full-breasted skirt, covering half an arm, and was doing female red embroidery in his hand.
"Your Highness, this is a half-day of leisure, embroidered with a splendid silk handkerchief and a wild duck?" Lu Chen shook the folding fan and looked at the "mandarin duck" on the Jinpa, and couldn't help but ridicule, don't look at Li Xiuning's ability to lead troops to fight, but it's really her turn to be a female celebrity, Lu Chen's evaluation is "I can't bear to look at it directly"!
"What a mallard!" Hearing Lu Chen's ridicule, Li Xiuning was stunned, and directly gave Lu Chen a roll of his eyes, "This palace is obviously embroidered with mandarin ducks!" ”
"Yes! Be! Mandarin duck! Mandarin duck! Lu Chen said with a smile, while Lu Qiuming on the side covered his mouth and snickered.
Li Xiuning stopped embroidering, threw the brocade on the table directly, looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Are you here to make fun of the palace?" ”
"Nope! I didn't mean to ridicule the princess in the next sleep! Lu Chen hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's just that Wei Zheng and Cheng Yanjin have already left, didn't His Highness say that they should leave tomorrow?" I didn't expect to leave today! The two of them resigned from the next place, and I don't know if His Royal Highness knows about it, so I came to report it! "What Lu Chen said is called a serious one.
"This palace already knows about this! If they want to go early, they can go early! I don't have to worry when I go to this palace! Li Xiuning said very indifferently, as long as these two don't pinch each other on Li Xiuning's territory, Li Xiuning won't care what these two will do in Weizhou City, no matter what happens in Weizhou City, naturally Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will clean up the stalls, and it has nothing to do with her, the princess of Pingyang.
"Your Highness embroidered this mandarin duck, is it because you want to use firewood and horses?" Lu Chen looked at the mandarin duck on the table and couldn't help but ask.
Thinking of Chai Shao, Lu Chen still admires this firewood horse, since the death of Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning in the sixth year of Wude, Chai Shao has never taken it again in his life, but raised his two sons Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu alone, until he died and was buried with Princess Pingyang has not been renewed, which shows the good relationship between Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang.
And Chai Shao this person is "chivalrous and righteous, agile and brave", not only the personal force value is high, but also the use of soldiers is also eclectic, this Chai Shao Ma is not only the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but also a military wizard, throughout the history of the Tang Dynasty, as long as there is a war in the early Tang Dynasty, there will basically be the shadow of Chai Shao, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, pacify the Turks, Tuyuhun, and destroy the Liang Division, these wars have Chai Shao's participation, and the proportion of participation is also quite large, all of them participate in the war as a general who leads an army, If he hadn't died in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, he would definitely have a place in the "ruthless man who destroyed the country" camp in the Tang Dynasty.
"Yes! Bengong and Heichang have been separated for a few years, and the two sons don't know if they still know the mother of Bengong! Thinking of his concubine Chai Shao and the two children Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu who stayed in Chang'an, Li Xiuning couldn't help but sigh, and there was a faint flash of brilliance in his eyes.
"I thought that after His Highness returned to Chang'an this time, he would not have to go back to Niangziguan!" Lu Chen sat opposite Li Xiuning and said with a smile.
"How does this work?" Hearing Lu Chen's words, although Li Xiuning was also a little moved, but if Li Xiuning was allowed to throw away this women's army and the throat of the women's pass, where could Li Xiuning rest assured, her family and country were all over the world, she Li Xiuning was first the princess of Pingyang of the Li Tang Dynasty, and then Chai Shao's wife Li Xiuning.
"How not?" Lu Chen smiled slightly, "Dare to ask Your Highness, who is stationed at Niangzi Pass to guard against?" ”
"Naturally, it's Turkic!" Li Xiuning replied subconsciously.
"But now that the Turks have retreated, and they have signed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, this lady will be fine for at least two to three years!" Lu Chen's words are not untargeted, because according to historical records, the next time the Turks go south is when Li Shimin signed the Weishui Alliance, and at that time, it was already three years after the fifth year of Wude, because although it is now the fifth year of Wude, there will be another month soon, which will be the "day of Yuanzheng".
"Even if there is a buffer period of two or three years, when the Turks go south again, the palace will still come to Niangziguan to sit down!" Li Xiuning didn't understand what Lu Chen meant by this, but he still said what he thought.
"Your Highness, it's far better to take the initiative than to sit back and wait!" Lu Chen didn't want the "thigh" on his side to always stay in this remote mountainous area, the "thigh" should play his role in the right place, and "Chang'an" was the place where Li Xiuning's "thigh" should stand.
"The Turks are all nomads and have no fixed residence, how can we take the initiative to attack?" Li Xiuning felt a headache when he thought of the Turks' style similar to "guerrilla warfare", and Li Xiuning did not think of leading his troops to sweep the Turks, and even tried, but after trying several times, they were all anticlimactic, and he could not grasp the key points of the Turks, and he only exterminated a few small tribes, and his impact on the Turks was not great at all.
"Let me sell a pass, if it is fast, it will be a year or two years, and I will definitely be able to help Datang get rid of the Turkic scourge, of course, the premise of this matter is that you need the help of Your Highness!" Lu Chen arched his hand at Li Xiuning and said confidently.
"If Mr. can really get rid of this scourge for Datang and restore peace to the people, if Mr. has something to ask for, this palace will do its best to help!" Li Xiuning did not shirk it, and responded very simply.
"Then thank you, Your Highness!" Lu Chen heard that Li Xiuning agreed, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that his plan of "bringing noodles with points" was a small step.
"That's right! Mr! Just as Lu Chen's words fell, Li Xiuning seemed to remember something and shouted Lu Chen again.
"What does Your Highness command?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiuning suspiciously, not knowing what Li Xiuning was going to say.
"I wonder if Mr. has any plans to take in apprentices?" Li Xiuning looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile, and the cunning light flashed in Li Xiuning's eyes.
