The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 776 760 Five: Li Shimin throws a celebration wine again, and the three of Wuji rush to HD City

When the generals on Li Jiancheng's side heard Li Jiancheng's words, they all stood up and followed Li Jiancheng to Li Shimin's city.

Since the road is not very far away, none of the people are riding horses, they are all walking!
When I arrived at Li Shimin's residence, I saw that there was also a festive atmosphere here!

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Today I also invite everyone to have a meal!

This Ming County can be regarded as my base camp, you have come to my place, if I don't treat you to a meal, that means I can't explain anything!

Although Liu Heita's army has been suppressed by us, the land of Hebei will not be too peaceful in a short time!
A small army of 50 people, I am afraid they have all become bandits.

They are running around, and they can't stop making trouble with the local government!

For this small group of bandits, we can't underestimate them!Lest they die again! "

Li Jiancheng laughed and said: "Second brother, I will leave this matter to you, I believe you can handle this matter well!

Third brother, you also stay and help your second brother suppress the bandits! "

Li Yuanji grinned when he heard that!

"Brother, can't I lead the troops back to deliver orders?

You see, I've been out for such a long time, so it's time to go back! "

Li Jiancheng's face sank when he heard this.

"I said third brother, why are you so confused!
Both your second brother and I have military merits, tell me what military merits you have!

You led out [-] elite soldiers from our Shaanxi territory, and these generals are all famous generals in our dynasty.

How did you fight this battle, don't you have any idea in your mind!

You underestimated the enemy in the early stage, so that more than half of the soldiers were lost. Later, you scorned the enemy like a tiger and stayed in the city of Handan and didn't send out many troops. Do you think that nothing will happen after you go back like this?
It's not that you don't know about our father's temper, but with your current bearish appearance, it's still light to hit you when you go back, maybe you won't even be able to keep your title of King Qi!

If you think there is nothing wrong with you going back, then you can go back with me for half a day! "

Li Yuanji was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into tears.

"Oh! How can I, Li Yuanji, be so unlucky! In this expedition, both of you brothers fought smoothly, but I lost troops and lost generals!

Um!Going back like this is indeed of no benefit to me! "

Ma Sanbao and Liu Hongji also walked over, and they bowed their hands at Li Yuanji.

"Marshal, His Royal Highness is right, we defeated generals, how can we have the face to go back like this?
This, this is too embarrassing!
Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, we have never fought such a useless battle!

If we go back like this, what face do we have to go back and meet people!
Marshal, if you really want to leave, we two brothers are willing to stay. We will join the Second Lord's army. We have to look good before we go back! "

As soon as the two leaders said this, Li Yuanji's generals also said in unison: "Marshal, if you want to leave, you can go by yourself! We will have no face when we leave like this!

Those of us are also willing to join the second master's army and strive to make some new achievements! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Third brother! I don't think you can leave. You said that you ran back as a poor marshal.

If this group of people makes some new achievements, then the old man will have the heart to kill you!

If that is the case, it will be a great disadvantage to you!

Third brother!You should think about this matter! "

Li Yuanji thought about it for the same reason.

"If none of you want to leave, why would I want to leave!

To be honest, I, Li Yuanji, don't want to go back either!

I was just joking just now, just to test the determination of these generals under me! "

Ho!This Li Yuanji can really make a fool of himself!

This changed again immediately!
The time is not long, the banquet is ready, and the people are divided into three groups to drink together!

Li Shimin's generals sat together, and Li Yuanji's generals sat together!

The generals under Li Jiancheng sat together.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Everyone, today I hold this banquet, one is to celebrate our victory this time, and the other is to see my elder brother and others off!

My elder brother led the troops out this time, he was really invincible and invincible! "

Li Shimin glanced at these generals under him and said: "Generals, we must follow the example of the generals under my elder brother's army, and we must strive to make new achievements!"

The generals shouted in unison: "Marshal, don't worry, we will continue to follow the marshal to fight to the end. If we don't fight the world, we will not withdraw our troops!"

Li Shimin laughed out loud!
"Okay! What I want is your words, don't worry! You follow me, Li Shimin, and I will not treat you badly in the future!

As long as I, Li Shimin, have something to eat, I will have a bite of you!

We have clothes to wear together, and we have food to eat together!I don't believe that with you here, those rebels can go rampant! "

Duan Wuji couldn't stop nodding when he saw it!

Xin said: My second brother is also very good at leading troops. With people like him, the rise of the Tang Dynasty is inevitable!

The banquet was about to begin, so Li Shimin didn't sit at the table, but toasted each table in turn!

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji sat at a table, and the two brothers drank like no one else was there. Li Jiancheng was proud of the spring breeze, and Li Yuanji was drinking to relieve his worries!

The two of them drank one cup on the left and one bowl on the right, and they couldn't finish it!

Li Shimin toasted Duan Wuji and they stopped at the table!

Li Shimin looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you have shown your face this time, you have won so many battles, that is truly incomparable!

Brother, you said it would be great if you served in my army! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Second brother, it will be a matter of time before you serve under your command!

Brother, I brought my elder brother out this time, it is also an emergency!

If our buddies don't fight in person, how long this battle will last!
Second brother, let me introduce you to a military talent. This person's military talent is only higher than mine, not lower than me! "

Li Shimin was taken aback.

"I said brother-in-law, is there really such a person? Then who is this person!

That is to say, if you have such ability, then please give me a recommendation as soon as possible! "

Duan Wuji pointed with his hand.

"Second brother, this is the new general we have called up this time, this person's surname is Li Mingjing, the word pharmacist, Sanyuan Ren.

In the early Sui Dynasty, there were three heroes, and one of them was Li Jing and Li Pharmacist!

Brother Li, this is my second brother Qin Wang Li Shimin, please come and pay a visit! "

Li Jing came over and was going to salute Li Shimin, but Li Shimin stopped him with his hand.

"Brother Li, what do you mean! It's the first time we meet, you don't have to be polite!
Brother Li, it is really Xiao Wang's blessing to know you!

The person my brother likes must be no ordinary person! "

Li Jing grinned when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, the villain is just a grassroots person, to be looked up to by that prince, this is really something I, Li Jing, did not expect!

If you want me to say, that Prince Duan is a rare soldier, and his ability to predict things like a god is by no means comparable to that of Li Jing. "

Li Shimin grinned and said: "Li Jing, since you and I know each other, if you have time! I must go to visit you if I have time!

We brothers must have a good conversation! "

The two talked for a few more words, then Li Jing went back to his seat.

After drinking and eating, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji staggered and led their generals back to their respective battalions.

In the morning of the next day, Li Jiancheng set up his camp immediately. He led Li Jing and his three-way cavalry all the way to the west, headed straight for the capital and rushed there!

Duan Changqing and his three-way troops headed north, headed straight for the direction of the source, and they galloped along the original road to the Shanxi camp.

When they came out, everyone brought back a cavalry team of more than 2000 people. After such a period of development, each team has more than 4000 people!

This time when troops are sent to attack Liu Heitat, these teams have made great progress!

When Duan Wuji and Tieniu Chaishao saw their three brothers, the armies all dispersed.

The three packed up and got on their horses and set off.

Chai Shao smiled wryly and said, "You see, our buddies have won a big battle, and we don't even have any travel expenses to go home!

well!It's really pitiful to say it, the three of us probably don't even have the money to live in a shop!

well!My elder brother is really good enough!I really can't say anything about this!

It would be too embarrassing if I asked my second brother for two dollars! "

Duan Wuji grinned and said: "Brother Chai, you don't have to get angry about this matter.

You don't have silver, but brother, I have silver. I keep tens of thousands of taels in the city of Handan!
For the flowers on this road, let me, my brother, come out! "

"I said brother, what you said is true! You have so much money in the Handan Mansion? Who would believe this!"

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "I said Brother Chai, you said brother, when did I lie in front of you!
This thing is absolutely true, not only I have it, but my brother Tieniu has it too!

Let's go, follow our brothers to get money!

At that time, let the prefect of Meng treat us to a meal, you see how good it would be! "

"That's right! If that's the case, that's great, then what are we waiting for, then let's go quickly! Fortunately, this place is not very far from the Handan Mansion, and we will arrive soon .”

The three brothers galloped straight towards the Handan City, after more than an hour, Duan Wuji and his three brothers were already in the Handan City.

This Handan city has not lost anything in this war. The war has passed, and the city is peaceful and peaceful.

Duan Wuduan led Chai Shao and the others straight to the magistrate's yamen and rushed over!

Then Li Yuanji is still stranded in Ming County and has not come back!However, most of his soldiers are still in Handan City!
The three rushed to the prefect's yamen and got off their horses, tied the horses to the horse stakes in front of the door, and walked straight to the prefect's yamen.

Several soldiers blocked their way, and one soldier asked with a smile: "I said you three, who are you looking for?

Now this magistrate's yamen has become the commander's mansion. "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "We are looking for the prefect of Meng, do you know where he is?"

"Well! He's right here! You wait, I'll go in and let you know!
Why!Who are the three of you! "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Just tell him that there is a man named Duan Wuji waiting for him outside."

The soldiers immediately widened their eyes when they heard this.

"What? Are you the Duan Wuji who shocked the enemy? We finally saw you today!
Deputy Marshal Duan, the villain greets you. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Okay, okay, don't mess with those foolish people, go in and report it!
We still have something to do with him! "

A soldier rushed in after hearing this, and the prefect Meng led Wang Zhixian and ran out with the soldiers.

"Prince Duan, General Duan, you are here! Your subordinates greet you."

Said, the two brothers will kneel down to pay homage.

Duan Wuji reached out to stop them both.

"Okay, okay, what are you praying for! Hurry up and get rid of it!

Mengfu and Wangzhi County, after you have gone through this hardship, as long as you work hard in the future, I am afraid that your future will not go wrong! "

"Prince Duan, you have given us all my blessings! Without your guidance, we brothers might not be able to survive this catastrophe!

let's go!Follow me into the government office!
Whatever I say today, I will treat you well!

Why!I said Prince Duan, who is this general? "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Oh! Just now we visited and talked, I forgot to introduce you!

This is our current court son-in-law Chai Shao, my brother Chai! "

"Oh! It turns out that he is also a noble person! Mr. Chai, the next official greets you!"

Saying that, the prefect of Meng is going to kneel down again leading the magistrate Wang!

Chai Shao reached out to stop them all.

"Okay, okay, prefect Meng, why is this so polite! Excuse me! Excuse me!"

Prefect Meng led them straight to a small courtyard. After entering the room, several people sat down as guests and hosts.

The prefect of Meng ordered people to offer fragrant tea, and the five of them chatted while drinking tea.

After chatting for a long time, Duan Wuji said to the prefect of Meng: "I said, Lao Meng, we are here this time, we want to take the tens of thousands of taels of silver you borrowed from us to go home!

We escorted them, and it is safer on this road. Now the territory of Hebei is not very peaceful.

If you escort it, if it gets lost along the way, I don't think the two of you can afford to compensate us!

We just happened to drop by to go home today, so let us personally escort the money!

What happens on this road has nothing to do with you. "

After hearing this, Meng Zhifu bowed his hands up!

"Then it's hard work, my lord, these days I really worry about this matter and get angry!
Things are indeed as you said!

I'm also worried about this!

This time you personally escorted me here, so I am completely relieved! "

Tieniu asked curiously: "I mean Lao Meng! How much profit will we get from the money we lent you this time?"

Prefect Meng grinned and said: "A few days ago, we two brothers settled the account.

We sold grain this time, I didn't dare to ask the folks for more!The grain I buy here is always more than [-]% lower than the market price, and it has indeed played a great role in stabilizing the grain price in this city.

Therefore, our brother's official voice immediately went up!

This time we sold grain, we got five cents of the profit, General Duan, this time you two brothers have made a fortune, and you have also helped us two brothers to make a lot of money!

It seems that this person should get rich, and nothing can stop him!

Two adults, thank you for supporting us! "

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Well! This business is really good enough, earning a few small money, it's enough to spend a while!"

Meng Zhifu said to Wang Zhixian: "Cousin, don't sit here, you should go find a car quickly!
Find the car and load all the silver they deserve, and you are responsible for escorting them back! "

The magistrate Wang promised and hurried out, and the magistrate Meng said with a smile: "Three honored guests, let me treat you to the best of my ability as a landlord today!

It can be said that you are my reborn parents of Meng Haigong!

If you didn't give us advice and suggestions, we wouldn't be where we are today! "

Duan Wuji waved his hands.

"Prefect Meng, forget it, you'd better save some money! We're not going anywhere, so you can ask your sister-in-law to make us a few bowls of dumplings, let's go!"

"Isn't that too simple?"

Chai Shao laughed and said, "It's better to keep it simple! Now you are still in the period of post-war reconstruction, and excessive extravagance will not affect you well.

Let's keep it simple! "
