Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 227
On the third day after Li Chengqian led his troops to annihilate Dafeichuan's pursuers and returned to Fuqi City, Hou Junji and others also returned victoriously with the reinforcements.Hou Junji marched for more than a thousand miles in an uninhabited land. The weather was harsh and frost fell in midsummer.Drinking water is exhausted, people bite ice, horses eat snow, and prepare for hardship.

On the tenth day, he pursued Fu Yun in Wuhai, defeated the guard army in World War I, and captured Fu Yun's wives and concubines and more than [-] members of the royal family.But it's a pity that the old guy Fu Yun was still not caught.Looking at the boundless desert in front of him, Hou Junji set his heart on a bold pursuit. The desert lacked fresh water, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to drink blood from horses.After another three days of chasing, he broke through Fu Yun's tooth tent and beheaded a thousand levels. Fu Yun also committed suicide with his sword.

"Grand Lu pursued thieves thousands of miles away, and made great achievements. I specially prepared some thin wine to celebrate the general's achievements with Uncle Wang." After speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand and had a drink with the two of them.

Of course, Hou Junji also understood why the crown prince entertained him so low-key. The war was not over yet, and the army had just gained a firm foothold in Fucheng City.Secondly, the opportunity of this big feast of heroes should be left to the emperor, if the crown prince did it, it would be overstepping, and it would be easy to prove it.

"Your Highness, you are being polite. This is the result of the soldiers of the six ranks. The old minister also picked up ready-made food in this battle. I really dare not be praised by His Highness." According to his previous temperament, regardless of whether it was the emperor and Li Chengqian, he did not deserve this merit. will shirk.

But after this battle, Hou Junji was full of respect for the army led by Liu. He climbed glaciers, crossed the desert, and still regarded death as home with his exhausted body. Such a heroic army deserved his respect.

Although he, Hou Junji, is domineering, he still has self-knowledge.Moreover, he is also a well-known military trainer among the Tang army, but he also has to admit that he cannot train such an army.Not only him, even his teacher, Tang Jun's invincible army god could not forge such an army.

Hou Junji saw a power of faith in the illiterate soldiers of Liu Liu, no matter what kind of adversity they faced, as long as the commander in their hearts gave an order, even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they would never frown.

He has led troops for many years, and of course knows that the most difficult thing to cultivate in leading troops is to observe military discipline and a sense of honor, and these two advantages are common in the Six Rates, not scattered like other troops.

Seeing Hou Junji's humble appearance now, Li Chengqian was very happy. The old man's bad temper was due to his temper. If this temper can remain like this, the future will be limitless.

So he said in a warm voice: "In any case, Duke Lu, you have made great contributions. This palace has already sent people to report the good news to General Li. As for those boys, they are still far behind. In the future, you will need more advice from Duke Lu. yes."

The meaning of Li Chengqian's words is very clear, that is to say, he can still lead six leaders to fight in the future. This news makes him very excited as he has been in the civil service in recent years.

Although Hou Junji was a member of the Eastern Palace lineage, he had never touched the military power of the Six Rates. He knew that the emperor and the crown prince were of the same type, and he was never at ease if the military power in his hands was not close to someone.

Let's talk about the grandson Shunde, although he is the prince's uncle and he also went out with the army as the deputy commander of the Yanze Road march this time, but he still couldn't subdue these arrogant soldiers, which made his old officer very depressed.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, this old minister's life belongs to His Majesty and you, but if you are driven, you will never refuse." After speaking, he raised his wine glass and touched Li Chengqian.

Seeing the two people's appearance of getting along with each other, Li Daozong couldn't help getting goose bumps all over his body, and said quickly: "I said you two are endless, didn't you agree to drink and eat meat today? Look, it will burn if you bake it again." After speaking, he pointed to the lamb that was roasting next to him.

Of course, he did this for the purpose of changing the subject, especially because of his identity, he couldn't declare his allegiance as easily as Hou Junji.If I let my second brother who is the emperor know, it is inevitable that I will not feel jealous, and the best end for me is to go to Zongzheng Temple to be with my cousin.

"Okay, okay, what Uncle Wang said is, come, come, there are only three of us in Lu Guogong's tent today, let's forget about etiquette, and the three of us can just drink and eat meat." One stepped forward to cut off a leg of lamb and ate a large piece. Li Daozong and Li Daozong saw that the prince was so unrestrained, so they also met each other and started to fight after a smile.

But just as the three of them were pushing cups and changing glasses, Heng Lian walked in quickly, saluted and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the general's urgent military order." During the conversation, he also presented the military report in his hand to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was really taken aback by this look, the emperor really sent them a pig teammate, hey, after a long sigh, the general newspaper was handed over to Li Daozong for them to circulate.

It turned out that after Li Daoyan, Guo Xiaoke and others went out with the army, the government affairs of Hezhou, Minzhou and other states were left unattended, so the imperial court appointed new governors, and also ordered them to recruit new soldiers to enrich the front lines of Xikaido. military.

But who would have thought that Lu Shiliang, the new Governor of Hezhou, led [-] government soldiers to fail, and Murong Shun of Shudun City led more than [-] people to break through the siege and flee to Qiang Tang and join the Qiang people there, ruining Li Jing's encirclement and annihilation plan.

At the same time, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche were besieged because of his disappointment. Both brothers were shot, and six out of ten of their followers died.If it weren't for Li Junxian leading hundreds of cavalry to rescue and fight with all his strength, the two generals of the emperor would have lost here because of his small mistake.

In a fit of rage, Li Jing directly chopped off the governor who had only been in office for a few days, and at the same time told the various ministries that if there is any delay in the military plan, he would even sit with his family.

"The general finally got tough, haha."

Seeing Li Daozong's malicious smile, Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian both laughed.Indeed, Li Jing had been cautious all his life as an official. It can be said that he was afraid of wolves before and tigers later. Now that he was at the end of the final battle, he finally went all out and did not save the Lu family any face.

It's a good show to watch this time back to the court, those idle guys in the court should not focus on finding faults and join him.

"Laughing, the general also gave an order to let Bengong and Duke Lu go north to join the main force to attack Tuyuhun, the last [-]% of the army, and at the same time let you, Uncle Wang, guard Fuqi City.

But this army can only leave you [-], and all the wounded soldiers must stay here. You must try your best to rescue them and minimize non-combat attrition. "

"With your old uncle here, I won't lose those bastards. What happened to Fucheng City when you left, we will return it to you when you come back. Don't worry now."

"Okay, then let's drink this last glass and take care of yourself." Then he touched the glass with the two of them again.
