Man Tanghong

Chapter 163 Luo Shang
"There are warriors in my family who are good at fighting, but there are very few scribes in the herdsman Anbang. The second brother gave me two positions of governor, I'm afraid there is no one in my family who is competent."

Li Yuanji said with a smile.

Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Yuanji smiled and cupped his hands again and said, "If Second Brother really has the heart, why don't you give me some armor?"

Li Yuanji didn't want to play tricks with Li Shimin any more, so he asked Li Shimin straight to the point for an iron armor.

Now, Li Shimin can give Li Yuanji, except for the civil servants and warriors under his command, there is only iron armor left.

Li Yuanji can get the others without Li Shimin giving them.

Li Shimin was obviously stunned for a moment, the smile on his face remained undiminished, and said: "I heard that you already have a lot of iron armor under your command, do you still need iron armor?"

Are you not afraid that many people will not be able to sleep?
This was what Li Shimin was thinking, but he didn't say it out loud. Li Yuanji understood what he meant.

Li Yuanji said with a bright smile: "I like to be surrounded by a pile of iron armor, so that I can sleep more comfortably."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said meaningfully: "You can sleep well, but others can't sleep well..."

Li Yuanji smiled and did not speak.

Li Xiuning heard what Li Yuanji was saying to Li Shimin, and she was afraid that Li Yuanji would continue talking to Li Shimin, which would hurt her peace, and she pretended not to understand anything, "What are you talking about?"

Li Yuanji and Li Shimin spoke at the same time.

"Nothing to say..."

Li Xiuning looked suspiciously at Li Yuanji and Li Shimin, "Really?"

Li Yuanji and Li Shimin nodded in unison again.

Although some words were not explained, the attitudes of Li Yuanji and Li Shimin represented their thoughts.

Li Yuanji didn't want Li Xiuning to get too deeply involved in the struggle for imperial power, and Li Shimin obviously did the same.

"Since Yuan Ji only needs some iron armor, then you can give it to him."

Li Xiuning pretended to believe what Li Yuanji and Li Shimin said, and told Li Shimin openly.

The smile on Li Shimin's face was a little stiff, and he was secretly crying in his heart.

Sister, are you confused?
The number of iron armor under Yuan Ji's command has almost reached [-]. If you give him some more armor, all the soldiers in the Commander's Mansion under his command will have iron armor.

There are six full-staffed military mansions, and all staff are armored.

External deterrence is extremely strong.

Internal deterrence is also extremely strong.

Especially these six commanding military mansions will then be stationed outside Chang'an City.

How can this make many people in Chang'an city sleep?
"You wouldn't want to, would you?"

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Xiuning looked suspicious.

The expression on Li Shimin's face remained the same, he smiled and said, "Since sister has spoken, is there any reason for me not to give it?"

As he spoke, he said to Li Yuanji: "Yuanji, you can send someone to the arsenal in Luoyang City to get it later. However, all the iron armor in the arsenal in Luoyang City is now left with broken armor. If you want to use it, you have to recast it." fan."

Li Yuanji immediately cupped his fists and said, "Then thank you, Second Brother."

With the iron armor provided by Li Shimin, all the soldiers in the six commanding mansions under his command will soon be equipped with iron armor.

As long as all the soldiers of the six commanding mansions are equipped with iron armor, he will not have to live cautiously.

Whether it is Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, whoever wants to touch him must be prepared to have his teeth collapsed.

Li Yuanji really wanted to know what Li Shimin was thinking, that he would actually agree to this request, and watched him put more than 10,000 armored soldiers on the edge of Chang'an City, threatening everyone.

"Sister, let's enter the city."

After Li Shimin briefly exchanged greetings with Li Xiuning, he took the initiative to invite.

Li Xiuning nodded with a smile, and rushed to Luoyang City under the guidance of Li Shimin.

Qu Tutong and others followed closely behind.

Li Yuanji led the men under his command, as well as Li Xiuning's people, and followed far behind.

When he crossed a low hill and saw the outline of Luoyang City, Li Yuanji was a little happy but also a little sad.

To my delight, the fields outside Luoyang City are full of crops, and they are lush green, which is really beautiful.

Although the growth rate of crop seedlings is not high, and the bare yellow land can still be seen faintly between the crop seedlings, almost all the fields outside Luoyang City have been planted with crops.

Except for Luoyang City, which looked black and black, the rest of the place was green.

As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters during the casual time, the people of Luoyang City will have a bumper harvest when autumn comes.

At that time, the people of Luoyang City will no longer have to worry about being hungry.

There is a credit for Li Yuanji, so Li Yuanji is very happy.

Sadly, a large group of people gathered outside Luoyang City, most of them were old and weak women and children.

They didn't come to welcome Li Yuanji and his party's triumphant return, but to welcome the pillars of their family.

They handed over the pillars of the family to Li Yuanji to take them out, but Li Yuanji didn't bring much back.

So Li Yuanji didn't know how to face them.

The soldiers and horses that Li Yuanji had recruited from all over Luoyang before suffered the biggest losses in the battle of Mingshui City and the battle of Weizeguan.

After Li Shimin, Li Xiuning, Qu Tutong and others entered the city, Li Yuanji brought a group of soldiers under his command and appeared in front of the elderly, weak, women and children.

Old and weak women and children stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks, looking for their sons, husbands, and fathers among the soldiers behind Li Yuanji.

Some people saw their sons, husbands, and fathers with joy on their faces.

Some people didn't see it, and continued to look around on tiptoe.

When Li Yuanji stopped his horse, Pingcheng Ling, as a representative of the people, stepped forward to ask Li Yuanji, whether the sons and daughters of Luoyang are brave in this battle?can win?

Li Yuanji led a group of soldiers to answer together.

The sons and daughters of Luoyang's expedition this time fought bravely and returned with great victories.

The order of Pingcheng led the people, shouted that the sons and daughters had not weakened their reputation in Luoyang, and offered three bowls of wine to Li Yuanji.

Wine is good wine, but what Li Yuanji drank was not the taste.

Because someone has already learned the news that their son, husband, and father died in battle through the Luoyang soldiers.

In front of him, no one dared to cry, and could only weep silently.

Li Yuanji felt really uncomfortable looking at it.

"Ma Zhou, you bring the iron plaques of the soldiers who died in battle, as well as their relics, and return them to their families. At the same time, tell their families about the rules of our Qi Palace.

By the way, in my name, tell the officials everywhere to treat the families of the soldiers who died in battle favorably.

If there is any disobedience, or those who disobey the yin and yang, they will be enemies of my Qi Palace.

I don't mind leading the followers of Prince Qi's mansion to teach them how to be officials. "

Li Yuanji had no way to revive the soldiers who died in battle, so he could only do his best to provide compensation.

Hearing Li Yuanji's order, Ma Zhou nodded solemnly.

Li Yuanji yelled at the soldiers behind him again, "Where you belong to Luoyang, you are allowed to go home for three days, and after three days, go to the barracks in Luoyang city to serve."

A group of soldiers belonging to Luoyang clasped their fists excitedly to Li Yuanji, "Here..."

Then, one by one, like wild horses running free, rushed into the old and weak women and children.

Those who are worthless run away with their wives on their shoulders.

The gangsters left behind their old parents, laughing on the spot with their children.

There are also those who are not promising, and they can't wait to show off to their wives, children and mothers the achievements of this expedition and the rewards he has received.

There are also promising ones, who silently picked up their children, accompanied their old parents and wives, talked and laughed and went home.

After Ma Zhou's soldiers rushed into the old and weak women and children, he also brought a group of scribes from the Qi Palace to appear among the old and weak women and children, and began to do the post-event care work.

"Yuanji has really grown up."

Li Xiuning and Li Shimin did not know when they appeared on the city gate.

Looking at Li Yuanji, who was so sad by the silent tears of the people under the city, Li Xiuning couldn't help feeling emotional.

Li Shimin's expression became a little complicated, "I have grown up..."

The threat has also grown.

In their impression, Li Yuanji never cared about his subordinates, let alone the feelings of his subordinates' families.

"It can be seen that his temperament has improved a lot, and his heart has become a lot more kind. You are not allowed to bully him in the future."

Seeing Li Yuanji suffer, Li Xiuning also felt uncomfortable, glanced sideways at Li Shimin, and whispered.

"I bullied him? It would be nice if he didn't bother me."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Xiuning and sighed quietly.

Li Xiuning looked at Li Shimin puzzled.

Li Shimin recruited him to Cao Dan, Li Yuanji gave him eye drops in front of Li Yuan, and he planned Li Yuanji's grain, Li Yuanji set fire to the Luoyang granary, and roughly told Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning laughed straight at being teased.

She knew about Li Yuanji burning down the Luoyang granary.

But she didn't know about Li Yuanji giving Li Shimin eye drops in front of Li Yuan.

In comparison, the incident of Li Yuanji giving Li Shimin eye drops in front of Li Yuan was obviously more interesting.

……

Li Yuanji stayed at the gate of Luoyang City for a full two hours, until the old and weak, women and children were almost gone, and then led a group of people under his command into Luoyang City.

Li Shimin and Li Xiuning had been watching from the gate tower, and they didn't go down the gate tower until Li Yuanji entered the city.

Therefore, when Li Yuanji brought Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin and others into Luoyang Palace, Li Shimin, Li Xiuning and others were still sitting together and talking, and there was no banquet.

The seats arranged by Li Shimin in the main hall of Luoyang Palace are very interesting.

In the middle of the main hall, three couches and long tables are arranged side by side.

Li Shimin and Li Xiuning were sitting on the same couch, and the other one belonged to Li Yuanji.

After Li Yuanji ordered Su Dingfang and others to sit down, he walked to his own seat and sat down.

After accepting the visit of Qu Tutong and others.

Li Shimin waved his hand, "The banquet..."

One after another, the maids appeared in the main hall with plate after plate of wine, vegetables and fruits, and placed them on the long tables in front of everyone.

Most of the large banquets in ancient times used the meal sharing system.

There is also a lot of attention to meal sharing.
