Man Tanghong

Chapter 32 Lian Po Is Old
Wang Junlang is tall and handsome with a handsome face; Fan Shixing has a big arm and a round waist, a broad face and copper bell eyes; Li Shou is of a moderate build, nothing special.

Entered the barracks and saluted together.

"See Your Highness..."

Li Yuanji couldn't figure out the purpose of the three of Wang Junlang, so he asked the three of Wang Junlang to sit down, and asked straight to the point, "What's the important thing for the three of you to visit late at night?"

The three of Wang Junlang were obviously stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Li Ji to be so direct.

After Wang Junlang was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly said: "To be honest, I and the three of you came late at night to ask His Highness for advice."

"Ask for advice?"

Li Yuanji had a strange expression on his face.

He didn't know who Fan Shixing and Li Shou were, but he still knew who Wang Junlang was.

Wang Junlang is famous for his wide-mindedness, righteous ideas, and unscrupulous means to achieve his goals.

Will Wang Junlang ask him for advice?

It's not bad if you don't cheat him.

"Not bad, ask for advice."

Wang Junlang hurriedly repeated.

Li Yuanji pondered and said: "I have nothing to teach you, and I have nothing to teach you, right?"

Wang Junlang hurriedly said: "Your Highness also knows that all the grain and grass in this conquest of Hebei will be raised by Daxingtai of Eastern Shaanxi Province. But I haven't seen a grain of grain until now. Come here to meet His Highness, and ask His Highness to guide you."

Li Shou added from the side: "As far as I know, there is no grain in the granaries in various parts of Eastern Shaanxi Province. If the Daxingtai of Eastern Shaanxi Province cannot raise food, I will not be at ease with the soldiers and horses out to fight. "

Fan Shixing nodded his head and said: "That's right, once the soldiers don't see the food, they are likely to mutiny. I'm afraid the ministers won't be able to eat and walk around."

After Fan Shixing finished speaking, the three of them looked worried.

Li Yuanji was stunned, and they had been arguing for a long time. The three of them had no idea, and they were afraid that Li Shimin would not be able to raise food, so they came to him to ask for gossip.

But...he didn't know where Li Shimin went to raise food.

If he had known, he would not have generously handed over the power to supervise the transportation of grain and grass to Han Liang.

Li Yuanji said with emotion: "Then you are looking for the wrong person. You have to go to Daxingtai Zuocheng Han Liang, or Daxingtai Duzhi doctor Yu Zhining."

The Yu Duzhi mentioned by Han Liang earlier was Yu Zhining, a doctor of Duzhi in Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province.

Li Shimin has given full power to the two of them to be responsible for raising food and grass and supervising the transportation of food and grass.

Wang Junlang, Fan Shixing, and Li Shou looked astonished.

Wang Junlang couldn't help but said: "Isn't Your Highness the chief of the rear army? Is it true that I'm looking for Your Highness?"

Li Yuanji smiled easily and said: "My second brother sent Han Liang to my subordinates to help me supervise the transportation of grain and grass. I think Han Liang is a talent, so I handed over all the matters of supervising the transportation of grain and grass to him.

Therefore, I don't need to ask about all the matters of raising grain and grass and supervising the transportation of grain and grass.

So I say you have found the wrong person. "

The three of Wang Junlang look at me and I look at you, they don't know what to say at all.

The power to supervise the transportation of grain and grass is handed over as soon as it is said.

If the other military commanders dared to do this, their heads would have already been hung on the flagpole.

Only the great King Qi dared to do this without fear of losing his head.

It was widely rumored that King Qi became wiser and more sensible.

But looking at what King Qi did, it was obviously still the same two hundred and five.

"Even so, the minister will not bother His Highness anymore, and the minister will leave."

Wang Junlang got up first and said goodbye to Li Yuanji.

He couldn't get what he wanted from Li Yuanji, and he didn't want to spend much time with Li Yuanji.

Seeing that Wang Junlang was about to leave, Fan Shixing and Li Shou immediately got up and said goodbye.

Li Yuanji watched the three of them leave the barracks, with a look of emotion on his face, "Fortunately, the matter of supervising the transportation of grain and grass has been handed over to Han Liang, otherwise, with the insidiousness of Wang Junlang, I don't know how to plot against me."

Wang Junlang is a typical insidious villain who will do anything to achieve his goals.

Before Wang Junlang made his fortune, he wanted to be a thieves, but he didn't have any manpower in his hands, so he got crooked and missed his uncle who was a bit capable.

In order to force his uncle to be a thieves with him, he accused his aunt of having an affair with his neighbor, and instigated his uncle to kill his aunt and neighbor together with him, turning the grass into a bandit.

When he was getting better, Li Yuan sent someone to surrender, Wang Junlang agreed on the surface, but stabbed Li Yuan behind his back, and ran to surrender Li Mi.

Li Mi saw that he was a double-faced villain, so he didn't reuse him.

So he betrayed Li Mi again and ran back to vote for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan has a good impression of all those who come to vote with troops and territories.

So not only did he not care about Wang Junlang's previous betrayal, but he also entrusted Wang Junlang with a heavy responsibility.

After Wang Junlang came to Li Tang's camp, he still worked hard, and he hasn't done anything bad so far.

But others don't know, but Li Yuanji knows that in history, for the sake of glory and wealth, after Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Incident, he instigated Li Yuan's nephew, Lujiang King Li Yuan, to rebel, and then countered Li Yuan, winning a big fortune from Li Shimin's hands. pile of rewards.

Li Yuanji didn't want to have anything to do with this kind of person, nor did he want to be missed by this kind of person.

Once Wang Junlang left, no one bothered Li Ji anymore.

Li Yuanji fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, it was still dark.

Tongguan is brightly lit.

Li Yuanji was also woken up by Xie Shufang.

Xie Shufang reported that Qu Tutong and Yin Qiao wanted to go to Hangu Pass today to review some of the soldiers from Shanzhou who had gathered at Hangu Pass.

According to the latest document of the marching command, Li Yuanji and Qu Tutong need to lead these soldiers to Luoyang to guard Luoyang.

Li Yuanji was a little confused.

When did Li Shimin issue the document, why didn't he know?
Can Li Shimin pass him and give orders to other generals and schools under the commander of the rear army? !

Is Li Shimin breaking the rules, or is he not paying attention to him?
Li Yuanji wanted to ask Qu Tutong for clarification, and immediately sent someone to put on armor for him, carried a long horse on his back, and followed him to Qu Tutong's residence with a murderous look.

The moment he saw Qu Tutong, Li Yuanji lost his anger in an instant.

Qu Tutong is over sixty years old, and his figure is no longer as tall as when he was young. In order to support the large armor and give people a majestic and mighty feeling, he ordered someone to make two leather clothes for himself, and tied them tightly around his body. , put on another layer of leather armor, and then began to wear the iron armor on his body.

Two leather jackets and a layer of leather armor are enough to wrap Qu Tutong's upper body airtight.

By doing so, the security will be improved a lot, but it will also have to endure inhuman torture.

Once you sweat from excessive exercise, the whole person is no different from being in a steamer.

An old man in his sixties endured inhuman torture and took good care of Li Yuanji. How could Li Yuanji dare to be angry with him? !
Li Yuanji bumped into the scene of Qu Tutong wrapped in armor, and was a little embarrassed.

Afraid that Li Yuanji might misunderstand, he patted his chest and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, even though Qu Tu is old, he can still wield a big spear and open a three-stone hard bow. His Highness will definitely be safe."

Li Yuanji sighed in his heart, and said: "I haven't arrived in Luoyang yet, and I haven't seen Liu Thief's rebellious army. General Qu Tu doesn't need to wear so many leather clothes in the armor."

Qu Tutong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Yuanji to say these words.

After pondering for a while, Qu Tutong dismissed the people around him, walked up to Li Yuanji, and explained to Li Yuanji, "Your Highness, I have led the army for many years, and I know the habits of the soldiers in the army very well.

They like to follow the fierce generals, because the fierce generals can lead them to make great achievements.

They are willing to follow the fierce general, because the fierce general can kill a bloody path for them on the battlefield.

If the minister wants to lead them, he must not show his old age in front of them.

Otherwise, they will leave the minister and neglect the minister. "

Li Yuanji also understands this truth, but with Qu Tutong's achievements, he can lie on the credit book and wait to die, there is really no need to work so hard.

Qu Tutong is not just a fierce general, he is also a wise general.

He was able to stand out from the warriors under Li Shimin's command and serve as Li Shimin's deputy not because he was old and fierce, but because he was brave, resourceful, wise and brave.

He can convince people not only with his fists, but also with his head.

"For this expedition, we are only in charge of transporting food and grass, guarding Luoyang, and not going into battle. Most of the soldiers and horses we command are cronies. There is really no need for General Qu Tu to wrong himself so much."

Li Yuanji sighed.

Qu Tutong was taken aback again, he finally understood that Li Yuanji loves him.

He was a little moved.

He can be regarded as accompanying Li Yuanji through life and death many times, and this is the first time he has received Li Yuanji's care.

But that doesn't mean he will listen to Li Yuanji.

He smiled at Li Yuanji and said, "I understand what your Highness is thinking. But I have been in the army for half my life, and I really can't let go of the big gun in my hand, the longbow on the horse's back, and the soldiers who followed me." .

If the minister is shrouded in leather during this expedition, I hope His Highness will not be sad, because this is the minister's long-cherished wish. "

What Qu Tutong said was heroic, but Li Yuanji didn't like it.

"Since you can't persuade you, then I won't persuade you. You have been wearing three layers of leather, and you will get sick sooner or later. You should send the guards around you to hunt some mountain birds such as pheasants, and then sew one The double-sided short jacket, stuffed with chicken feathers and other things, replaces the leather jacket and leather armor.

Not only does that stuff keep you warm, it doesn't make you sick from covering it. "

Li Yuanji glanced at Qu Tutong and gave Qu Tutong a suggestion.

Qu Tutong looked astonished, can this still be the case?
Li Yuanji ignored Qu Tutong, turned and left.

When he returned to his barracks, Xie Shufang had already organized the two thousand horses in Prince Qi's mansion.

Li Yuanji got on his horse and rode out of Tongguan with two thousand.

Qu Tutong and Yin Qiao led the trilogy and followed closely behind.

Galloping all the way, five miles out of Tongguan, the sun has already appeared a little.

Yin Qiao rode his horse to catch up with Li Yuanji, and said in a hearty voice, "Your Highness, the sun looks good today, and it's boring for us to keep on our way.

How about we have a competition? "

Li Yuanji was galloping his horse, when he heard Yin Qiao's words, his face was darkened.

This is also the sin of the predecessor.

Only the idiot in the previous body would give up the majesty of a prince and go to teach his courtiers skills, and in the end he lost in the competition and was humiliated.
