Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1425 Greed for Cups
Li Daoyan pondered: "Is this too dangerous? Su Cheng is so young and has made great contributions to the imperial court. He will definitely be the pillar of the imperial court in the future. How can he take such a risk?"

Su Cheng waved his hands and said with a smile: "As generals, we should ignore life and death when we go to the battlefield. Tubo people are nothing."

Li Daoyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, no wonder this guy Su Cheng ascended to the sky in one step, this guy not only has extraordinary talent, but also extraordinary courage.

With such success and fame as Su Cheng, it's really rare that people from Shengjuan Enlong offered to be bait.

Li Ji said with a smile: "Of course, His Majesty doesn't want Su kid to be in danger, so he asked Su Cheng to lead the Shenji Battalion to defend the city in Xinghai."

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "You old boy, you have never seen how powerful the cannon is. Put the cannon and muskets on, and when the Tubo bastards come, see if they can't be killed!"

It is true that Li Daoyan has not seen the power of artillery with his own eyes, but he has heard a lot about it, and he understands it better than ordinary people in the market.

At the beginning, the three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty failed to capture Goguryeo, but His Majesty’s Eastern Expedition took only 10,000+ soldiers and horses to capture Goguryeo cleanly, and the artillery contributed the most.

Therefore, although he has never seen the power of artillery, Li Daoyan can imagine how powerful the artillery is.

Li Daoyan couldn't help nodding his head and said: "It's true, the firearms are so powerful, and it's not so easy for the Tubo people to attack the city if they defend the city. If the army returns in time, the Tubo people can be gathered and wiped out!"

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said: "That's the reason! We will surely gather and wipe out the Tubo people!"

Li Daoyan said with a smile: "This plan is very clever!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "The most important thing now is to use the spies of the Tibetans in the city to pass the news of my stationing in Xinghai back to Tubo. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like throwing winks to the blind?"

Only then did Li Daoyan understand why Su Cheng kept looking left and right when he entered the city, trying to find the spies of the Tubo people. It turned out that he was trying to reveal the news to the spies of the Tubo people.

But this made Li Daoyan feel embarrassed, he scratched his head and said: "I don't know where there are spies from the Tubo people. If I knew where, I would have sent someone to arrest them! I will send someone Go search, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to search."

Yuchi Gong yelled: "You old boy, you can't clean up the spies in Minzhou City, right? That's going to be troublesome!"

Li Daoyan scratched his head and said, "It shouldn't be tidy up!"

He couldn't laugh or cry. Before, he really wanted to kill all the Fan spies in Minzhou. He never thought that one day he would worry about killing all the spies.

As Yu Chigong said, if there are really no Tubo spies in Minzhou City, it will be troublesome.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It's not so clean. When I entered the city, I saw a few people. I think they are probably spies."

Li Daoyan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's good that there are spies from the Tubo people in the city, but I only saw them once, how can I find them? How about keeping them from being suspicious?"

In fact, when he entered the city, Su Cheng had been thinking about this question, but he had a preliminary idea, and said with a smile, "Where is the governor planning to hold a clean-up banquet?"

Li Daoyan smiled and said: "Of course it is the best restaurant in Minzhou City - Qingfenglou. Although the food and wine here are not as good as Chang'an, they are also unique."

Su Cheng asked with a smile: "Many people should know that the governor is going to hold the reception banquet in Qingfeng Building, right?"

Li Daoyan nodded and said: "Of course, the old man shut down Qingfeng Building three days in advance to make good preparations. Presumably everyone in the city knows about it."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Then, why don't the Tubo spies keep an eye on it to see if they can find out the news? I have an idea..."

Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others listened carefully to Su Cheng's words.

Li Ji said with a smile: "This idea makes sense, but you are not afraid to spread it to Chang'an. When the victory comes, His Majesty will hit you?"

Li Daoyan said with a smile: "No, no, Your Majesty is wise, powerful, and open-minded, so why would you care about such a small matter? Besides, gathering and annihilating the Tubo people is a great achievement, and it's too late for His Majesty to reward you. blame?"

"Okay, it's time for us to go to the banquet."

When Li Daoyan, Su Cheng, and Li Ji arrived at Qingfeng Building, all the generals had already gathered together.

"Welcome the Duke of England, Duke of Lu, Duke of E and all the generals who came from afar. With this glass of wine, I wish the army a victory and defeat Tubo!" Li Daoyan raised his voice while holding the wine.

Li Ji said with a smile: "Thank you Dudu Li and the generals of Minzhou for your hospitality, but when the war comes, everyone is happy, but it's not enough. After the battle is over, we can drink the celebration wine. If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

"I wish the army a great victory and defeat Tubo!" All the generals drank the cup to the brim.

Although there was a car wash banquet, neither Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong nor the generals drank to their heart's content.

However, Su Cheng drank one cup after another. When a general came over to toast, Su Cheng did it directly.

Li Ji frowned slightly and reminded: "Su Cheng, don't drink too much."

Su Cheng picked up the wine glass and drank it down. He said indifferently, "You are going to fight. Our Shenji camp is just guarding the food and grass. We can't even see a Tubo person. What's the matter with drinking two more glasses?"

Cheng Yaojin frowned slightly and said, "It's also a heavy responsibility to guard the grain and grass, so don't drink to make things worse."

Su Cheng snorted, "When was it wrong? Didn't this mean that we haven't guarded the grain and grass yet? We were invincible in the Eastern Expedition, but were ordered by His Majesty to guard the grain and grass! Really, I don't know the so-called overkill! I feel very aggrieved, what's wrong with drinking two more glasses?"

Li Daoyan rounded up the situation: "It's probably because our Longyou wine has a special flavor, so Duke Rong is only greedy for a few cups. It's not a big deal, anyway, we won't go out today."

While speaking, Su Cheng drank a few more glasses, and all the generals were stunned. They didn't expect that Rong Guogong led the Shenji Battalion to guard the food and grass.

Thinking about Shenji Battalion's outstanding record during the Eastern Expedition, they could understand that Shenji Battalion was so powerful, but this time they went out to guard food and grass, no wonder Rong Guogong was in a bad mood and wanted to drink.

But none of the generals dared to say anything, because they had no part to speak, and there were still three Dukes here.

"But you want me to guard the food and grass in the Shenji camp, your majesty is so stupid!" Su Cheng put down his wine glass with a bang, and said with a sip of wine.
