The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 482 Ginger is still old and spicy

"This method can indeed improve the morale of the soldiers. I originally thought that the morale of the soldiers was greatly increased because of my death and hatred. I didn't expect it to be because of the money." Li Shimin said after sighing.

At this time, Li Chengqian opened the door and walked in, and said to Li Shimin with a smile: "Why is the father like this, even if he is a saint, it is impossible for everyone to be grateful to him."

"You're right. After all, I'm the supreme Ninth Five-Year Lord. And how many interactions can those soldiers have with me?" Li Shimin nodded and said.

But at this time Yu Chigong said to Li Chengqian: "You boy let me die for no reason this time, Yuchi Gong, you can't let me die like this for nothing, can you?"

"I don't know what Generalissimo Yuchi said. Could it be that I asked the king to buy you some funeral objects?" Li Chengqian said to Yuchi Gong with a smile on his face.

"You really think that I, Yu Chigong, is dead, and you still want to get me some funeral objects." The angry Yuchigong said with a beard and eyes.

"You don't have to go around in circles with him, how can he let you die for nothing. There will still be tens of thousands of guns." Li Shimin said directly to Yu Chigong.

This made Yuchi Gong so happy, he said directly to Li Chengqian: "Listen well, the emperor personally agreed. Then you don't have to play tricks."

"Father, you will give it when you promise. My son, I don't have any money to be buried with Marshal Yuchi." Li Chengqian said with his head shaking like a rattle.

"As the saying goes, those who see you have a share. You can't make a fortune alone. Let me, the military adviser, and the generalissimo watch?" Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian.

"Father, if you really do this, then I don't care. Go out and tell them that you are still alive." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go out.

But Li Shimin said: "This matter is settled like this. You will give me [-] guan at that time. The military adviser and the generalissimo will each have [-] guan. Otherwise, you can think about the consequences."

This made Li Chengqian stop in his tracks, and said to Li Shimin through gritted teeth: "Father, you really have a way of bullying your son. If the son refuses to agree with the father, will the military adviser lead someone to seize the treasury of King Gaojianzhuang first?" It's over."

"It's good that you know, so now you should talk about the following plan obediently. You can pay the money as soon as you want, and if you don't want to, then you don't have to." Li Shimin nodded and said.

This made Yu Chigong clap his hands and laughed loudly, and said to Li Chengqian: "This time you finally know, what is ginger is old and spicy?"

Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Now I can only hope that King Gao Jianzhuang will be richer, and don't make me lose everything."

……

The whole army rested in Phoenix City for three days, and then the whole army arrived at the bank of the Yalu River.The pontoon bridge that Li Chengqian asked Zhang Shigui to build in advance has finally come in handy.

But Li Chengqian was not in the army at this time, he had already withdrawn to Anshi Prefecture with the Four Elephant Guards.Which naturally also includes Li Shimin.

As for Yu Chigong, Li Chengqian did not intend to bring him back to Chang'an City.Instead, let him go with Xue Rengui in disguise.

"Father, I can only wrong you for the next period of time. For the time being, let's pretend to be the bodyguard of my minister, and follow my minister back to Chang'an City." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

"I'm not a person who doesn't know how to advance and retreat. How can I not know the truth of a man's ability to bend and stretch." Li Shimin said after glaring at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian nodded after hearing this, and said to Li Zhi and Li Shen: "You two go back to the sect immediately, let the guards of the sect prepare everything, and as soon as you receive a letter from me, you will rush to Chang'an City as quickly as possible. .”

After the two of them said yes, they left Anshi Prefecture first.Directly cross the Liaohe River and go to Youzhou to Lishan Mountain.

Then Li Chengqian said to Qin Huaidao, Yuchi Baolin, and Zhao Tingxuan: "Immediately break up your own troops and sneak back to Chang'an City in batches."

The three of them got up at the same time and let out a sigh, then turned around to make arrangements.But Li Chengqian only took his own heaven, earth, Xuanhuang four guards, and Li Shimin on the way back to Chang'an City.

As for the White Tiger Guard rate, Li Chengqian did not bring it back this time.Instead, he was handed over to Xue Rengui. After all, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he should also have an elite soldier of his own.

……

"Report to Your Royal Highnesses, send it back eight hundred miles from Phoenix City to expedite." Then someone sent the battle report to Li Ke and Li Tai.

The two brothers opened the battle report and couldn't help being dumbfounded at the time.Even the battle report fell directly on the ground.

This involuntarily surprised Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, and hurried forward to pick up the battle report.After seeing it, I couldn't help being shocked.

But at this time Lu Wang Li Yuanchang said: "Your Highness, I don't know what happened before the battle between the two armies? Could it be that our army was defeated?"

"In my king's opinion, the emperor should be persuaded to stop the army, so as not to overwhelm the country and make the people resentful."

But at this moment, Wei Zheng said with tears in his eyes: "The emperor caught Gai Suwen's trick in Fenghuang Mountain. Ruan Shiliang, the guard of Fenghuang City, burned him alive on Fenghuang Mountain."

"Even the Generalissimo of the Three Armies, Wei Chigong, was not spared. The emperor and the Generalissimo have not even been found. The whole army is extremely sad, and now they are ready to cross the Yalu River to avenge the Emperor and the Generalissimo."

"It's a pity that there is not enough food and grass. I hope the court can deliver food and grass materials immediately. The combat effectiveness of the army has been guaranteed."

This time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were completely dumbfounded, and they knelt down and wailed loudly.Although some of them are hypocritical, they pretend to be very real.

But Li Yuanchang said: "Now that the emperor and the marshal are killed, this revenge has to be avenged. The king is willing to donate [-] shi of grain and grass in his own name for military rations. Should the ministers also be generous?"

After that, more than a dozen people stood up to express their opinions, some offered thousands, and some offered hundreds.Of course, there were also people who offered tens of thousands of stones, and unexpectedly collected nearly one hundred thousand stones.

The reason why Li Yuanchang is so supportive of avenging Li Shimin is because he doesn't want Li Chengqian to come back.As long as Li Chengqian doesn't come back now, after he sits on the throne.Even if Li Chengqian came back, it would be useless.

But at this time Li Ke stood up and said: "Now that the emperor father has died, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. His Royal Highness King Xian should come back immediately to inherit the throne."

"But now the two armies are inseparable from him. Besides, why should he inherit the throne if he is not the prince of the dynasty?" Li Tai said with an expression of dissatisfaction.
