Chapter 393: Li Shen leaves
Li Chengqian's face was full of helplessness, how many years have this been, his younger brother has been fighting wits and courage with his strong father since he was a child, calculating each other.
Li Shen used Li Shimin to make money several times, and others didn't know about it, but he, the future emperor, Li Shimin didn't hide these things.
And Li Shimin also has a lot of money in Li Shen's pit, but he has seen Li Shimin's inner money, which is a real small treasury, full of gold.
"Big brother, you can't talk nonsense," Li Shen was taken aback by Li Chengqian's words, if Li Shimin heard this, then he would be injured again.
"Big brother, I can't plant them for nothing, the food of the court still needs to feed them, and I can be regarded as worrying about Aya." Li Shen was not at ease and added.
Li Chengqian won't believe Li Shen's words, he, a younger brother who has plucked his feathers, can't afford to be unprofitable, and he won't do anything that is not beneficial.
Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't believe it, Li Shen didn't explain more, it was better not to mention this kind of thing, he was afraid that if this matter reached Li Shimin's ears, his income would shrink.
All the battle reports that night were compiled into the marshal's account, and the results shocked many people. There were no casualties in the South Sudan, more than 1,000 casualties in Hengshan City, and less than 1,000 casualties in the new city.
The three cities were won so easily, which made them even more curious about Li Shen's new combat methods.
At noon the next day, two fast horses galloped in, and the two heralds soon arrived at Li Chengqian's big tent.
Among them, there are two holy decrees, the first of which first gave Li Chengqian all kinds of praise, and then affirmed every general. The last thing to say is to rest, don't rush in, appease the people, and recruit troops.
Li Shimin knows that if you want to conquer a place, you must first conquer the people of the place.
The second holy decree was given to Li Shen, which made everyone a little confused, could it be that His Majesty also wanted to praise Li Shen alone?
After reading it, I realized that His Majesty was going to get married because of Princess Linchuan, and authorized Li Shen, the governor of the marching capital, to return to Chang'an to attend his sister's wedding.
But the premise is that after the capture of the three cities, it seems that His Majesty still knows something about King Ji.
"Big brother, I'm going to leave for Chang'an tomorrow, and I'll leave the rest to you, big brother." Li Shen said to Li Chengqian after listening to the holy decree.
"Tenth brother, it seems that you should have written back to tell Aya that you should have agreed. I'll just say why are you so positive? Li Chengqian laughed.
"Big brother, don't talk nonsense, I'm the governor of the marching army, and I am responsible for my family and country, I will be back soon, and the first batch of supplies should arrive in the near future.
The eldest brother also has to learn how to manage the people, not blindly be kind, but have limits, and occasionally give them a little sweetness to make them grateful to Dade.
People are greedy, and things that are too easy to get will make them take it for granted, and it is not for nothing that Shengmi is fighting against Mi.
Anyway, it's time to rest now, and if the eldest brother is fine, let's practice with the people of Goguryeo. ”
Li Shen's words made everyone present stunned, if nothing else, this little prince was actually teaching the prince, which was incredible.
But Li Chengqian accepted it with an open mind.
If Li Shen's words were said in the later generations, they would be sprayed into chatter, but after so long, he has integrated into or is used to his current identity.
In this feudal dynasty, the superior is a good manager if he does not oppress the people, and if you give a little benefit, then the people will be grateful to Dade.
But Li Shen came through time, and he had seen too much greed and dissatisfaction. Sometimes the people in power do too much, but the people take it for granted.
Li Chengqian nodded solemnly, and then said to Li Shen;
"Don't worry, big brother knows how to do it, and you have to pay attention along the way."
After speaking, Li Shen took people back to pack their bags, and he still needed to make some arrangements.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Shen came to bid farewell, and all the generals also came to see him off.
Li Shen said to Li Chengqian
"Big brother, little brother is going back to Chang'an, do you have anything to say to take back?"
Li Chengqian took out three letters and handed them to Li Shen.
"There are three letters here, all signed on them, one for Aya, one for your mother, and one for your sister-in-law. You take it back. ”
Li Shen took the letter and handed it to Lan Yu'er, and then said;
"Big brother, I left the blade to you, as well as a thousand guards, a hot air, if something happens, they will protect the big brother for me and leave safely. I'm also a little more relieved that way. ”
Li Chengqian nodded, he knew that this was this brother's heart, and Li Shen was worried about his own safety.
Li Shen said to the people behind Li Chengqian again
"Generals, if the Governor is not here, everything depends on you, but military discipline must not be violated, otherwise don't blame the Governor for enforcing military law after he returns."
"Big brother cherishes."
After speaking, Li Shen turned over and got on the horse, pulled Lan Yu'er up again, waved at Li Chengqian and rode away.
Li Chengqian stood in place and watched Li Shen disappear from view, then turned around and just wanted to go back to the big tent,
Zhao Tiejun, the deputy captain of the blade, didn't know where he came from, and came to Li Chengqian, so frightened that Li Chongyi instantly blocked in front of Li Chengqian.
"Zhao Tiejun, the deputy captain of the minister's sharp blade, obeyed the dispatch of His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhao Tiejun saluted Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian pushed Li Chongyi away, looked at the sudden appearance of the blade deputy captain and asked.
"Captain Zhao, where is the blade now?"
"Back to Your Highness, you are in the camp, responsible for protecting Your Highness's safety." Zhao Tiejun didn't say where it was, King Ji said that the blade should maintain a sense of mystery, there are so many people here.
Li Chengqian nodded,
"Then you will be relieved, and the guards of King Ji's Mansion will be ordered to replace the six rates and guard the periphery of the marshal's tent." Li Chengqian said to Zhao Tiejun.
Li Chengqian's personal guards have special people, just like Li Shen, just like Li Chongyi is the commander of the guards.
And the periphery is guarded by six rates, Li Chengqian uses Li Shen's guards as the second layer, one is to show his trust in Li Shen, and the other is to be quite relieved of Li Shen's guards.
He knew that Li Shen's three thousand guards were all elites, and the weapons and equipment were so good that Li Shimin was jealous, if he had any accidents, Li Shen's guards would protect themselves as soon as possible.
Li Chengqian never thought that Li Shen would harm himself, and if it weren't for Li Shen, he would have been deposed a long time ago.
He, the tenth brother, has forced him back from the abyss several times, if Li Shen wants to harm him and pull him to do something, wouldn't it be good if he left him to fend for himself.
Li Chengqian understood Li Shen's thoughts, that is, he wanted to make himself owe favors, and when he became the emperor, his younger brother would still be happy and carefree.
