This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 374 Volume 373 Chapter [-] Princess Gaochang is mine, you know?

It is indeed a sadder thing for a man to be laughed at for not being able to.

But after Li Chengqian wanted to understand the joints, he looked at the spring book in his hand... and really smiled.

It is no exaggeration to say that he smiled brightly.

Whether it will be this thing, only the person who enjoys it knows, and he can't show it to people in actual combat.

Besides, could it be that he didn't know it himself?

This kind of thing is low-key, there is no need to publicize it.

If he really wants to make a big splash, make it famous, and attract countless people to flock to it, he can't stand it.

Most importantly, he figured out the joints.

What does it mean that the old mother-in-law gave him this thing?
It is recognized!
While recognizing his son-in-law, he also recognized his status as king.

In other words, Princess Gaochang surrendered!

Of course, not the kind of surrender you think!
It is surrender in the true sense, which also means that most of the pouring county has surrendered.

For Li Chengqian, this is not a bad thing.

After tossing around for so long, didn't they just want to take down Piaohe County and use it as a bridgehead to plot the entire Tuyuhun?

This is his purpose.

"Come here, pass on Qibi Shangshu, General Yi." After thinking about this, Li Chengqian immediately threw out any man's big oolong.

Not long after, Qibi Heli and Yi Yuanfeng walked into Li Chengqian's tent together.

"At the end, I will see Your Highness."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Sit down, it happens that this king has something to ask the two generals."

After taking their seats, the two were not in a hurry to speak, and waited for Li Chengqian's arrangement.

Li Chengqian said bluntly: "What do the two generals think that I, Ming, have a chance of winning Tuyuhun completely?"

"If it's just to defend against Tuyuhun's southward invasion, I'm [-]% sure." Qibi Heli shook his head while speaking, "But when it comes to taking down the entire Tuyuhun, from my point of view, I'm less than [-]% sure..."

Defending is different from attacking. With the advantage of military equipment, Daming Royal Court can defend the city without any disadvantages. But for attacking the city, after all, the little army of Daming Royal Court is really not enough.

Yi Yuanfeng nodded at the side, but didn't say much.

Indeed, although Tuyuhun was defeated, his military strength was far from comparable to that of the Ming court.

"Tell me, why is there such a big disparity?" He was not surprised by this, but he still wanted to hear the reason.

"If it's just to defend against Tuyuhun, there will be [-]% or even [-]% of the troops, and I will have the confidence to defend the Zhenbei Mansion and not ask Tuyuhunnan to make another move.

After all, my Ming Dynasty does have a unique advantage in weaponry. In addition, my Ming Dynasty is united as one, and the morale of the soldiers in the army is like a rainbow, and there is a strong city to defend.

Therefore, the [-]% certainty is not because the minister is just talking nonsense.

The missing [-]% ​​are nothing more than the ever-changing situation on the battlefield and some unforeseen events.

As for going north to Tuyuhun, it is completely different. "

"Uh, what's the difference?" Li Chengqian asked.

Qibi Heli said: "According to what I know, Tuyuhun has 18 fine cavalry, but in a big battle, the number of soldiers and horses that can be recruited temporarily is no less than 20.

In the final analysis, I know that there are only tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and we are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength.

And this field battle, siege battle, and field battle are different from the city defense battle. It is not that simple to win more with fewer victories in these battle formations.

Especially in siege battles, most of the time the enemy is defeated in one fell swoop by superior forces, and there are rare examples of winning more with less.

Of course, if there is, it may not apply to us. "

After all, Qibi Heli was a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty. There may not be any earth-shattering battles for future generations to talk about, but he is by no means mediocre.

The key is that this guy has been fighting Tuyuhun since he was a child, and he is the most experienced person in Ming Dynasty when it comes to fighting Tuyuhun.

Li Chengqian didn't quite understand this kind of war, so he picked up what he could understand and asked: "The Shangshu means that our military strength is mainly weaker than that of Tuyuhun? Is it not because of other reasons?"

Qibi Heli nodded.

He has belonged to the Daming Royal Court for a while, and he knows the Daming Royal Court well, so he immediately said: "If the Daming Royal Court develops for another two years, then it will definitely be able to destroy its imperial food in one battle!"

He had no doubts about this.

The point is that in two years, Datang will definitely end the Battle of Goguryeo. With Datang's restraint and oppressive force, it will naturally be different for the battlefield.

But Li Chengqian understood, two years later?

In another two years the day lilies will be gone.

Why did Li Er attack Goguryeo so many years earlier than in history, he naturally understands the deep meaning.

How could Li Er, who had been proud all his life, be willing to be compared to his son?

When he freed his hand, Li Chengqian became passive instead.

From his point of view, now is the best time.

"Don't worry, take your time. The most urgent thing now is King Gaochang's funeral. After dealing with Gaochang's funeral, we will make plans." Li Chengqian said.

Qibi Heli and Yi Yuanfeng didn't say much, they had some guesses, but Li Chengqian didn't say it clearly, it was just a guess.

But if they guessed right, let alone, Ming's military strength will definitely be improved by more than one level.

"General Yi." Li Chengqian said, and looked at Yi Yuanfeng again, "Did you meet Shopkeeper Yang when you went to Water River City?"

"I have met." Yang Lin naturally knew him, so he said immediately, "Not long after the general entered the city, he met shopkeeper Yang. Watering River City rejected the last general."

Li Chengqian nodded. People like Yang Lin, who were born in merchants, are eager to seek the greatest benefit in everything they do. This is not surprising to Li Chengqian: "Did he say how to do it?"

"Treasurer Yang didn't say anything, but before leaving, shopkeeper Yang asked the general to bring some high-quality leather to His Highness, saying that he couldn't serve His Highness by his side, and he apologized."

leather?

Li Chengqian thought for a while, what was this old man trying to imply about himself?

But he wasn't in a hurry. Since Yang Lin didn't send anyone back to deliver the letter, it meant that the news wasn't too important. If it was really important, this old guy would try his best to get the news back.

Without further words, Li Chengqian asked about food and grass again, but he was not too worried about this.

After all, Daming's current population is small, and the food it needs is also small.

……

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, on the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

Murong Xiaojun's funeral was scheduled on this day.

Speaking of which, for this day, Changsun Chong had been arguing with Li Chengqian a lot.

However, Li Chengqian didn't care. Since he said that he should respect their customs, he naturally couldn't live up to his words.

Early that morning, Li Chengqian led his subordinates to attend Murong Xiaojun's funeral.

Not to mention, Murong Xiaojun's subordinates and sons must have put their heart into preparing for the funeral.

Tens of thousands of troops were waiting in formation, and surrounded the entire venue.

Only in the direction of Li Chengqian and the others, a huge opening was opened, and the soldiers of the Resentment Army and Zhengxi Army followed closely behind.

Although Li Chengqian couldn't understand the customs of the funeral, at least it looked quite grand.

"Your Highness can come and see the prince for the last time in person. I am very grateful." Princess Gaochang saw Li Chengqian and others walking over, and immediately brought Murong Wanqiu and her brothers and sisters over.

Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said: "The benevolent do not change their festivals with prosperity and decline, and the righteous do not change their hearts with survival or death.

Although King Gaochang is an enemy rather than a friend to Daming, he should be punished! "

"You..." As soon as Li Chengqian said this, the young man standing beside Murong Wanqiu was about to rush out, but Murong Wanqiu slapped him on the head.

Princess Gaochang even turned her head and gave him a hard look, seeing that Murong Wanqiu held him there, she turned her head and looked at Li Chengqian apologetically.

She understood that this was Li Chengqian's rectification of Murong Xiaojun's name, and she had to have this name!
It's not that she understands Murong Xiaojun, but that Murong Xiaojun's sons need the name Zhonglie Empress.

This was also the first time Li Chengqian saw his brothers-in-law, so he didn't take it seriously.

He really didn't pay attention to these few guys, and continued immediately: "However, Yu Tuyuhun, King Gaochang did his best, fought hard on the battlefield and died without regret, he deserves the reputation of a loyal minister and good general..."

After Li Chengqian finished bragging, Princess Gaochang brought Murong Wanqiu and her brothers and sisters to salute.

Very silent, very quiet, but they all knew that Li Chengqian's words were the final conclusion for Murong Xiaojun's life.

Next, is the cumbersome etiquette.

This Li Chengqian doesn't understand, they are all in charge of it themselves, and it is none other than Murong Xiaojun's younger brother, Murong Xiaoyong who is in charge of all this.

"If Your Highness is tired, there is a tent over there for you to rest." When the funeral started, Murong Xiaoyong somehow touched it.

Before Li Chengqian opened his mouth, Chang Sun Chong immediately said from the side: "Don't bother, we have already prepared."

While speaking, as soon as he raised his hand, someone became busy.

For the time being, they are still guarding against these guys from Water River County.

In case these guys have evil thoughts in their hearts, they have to guard against them.

"Then I won't bother Your Highness." Murong Xiaoyong walked away tactfully.

He is not in a hurry, as long as he shows his face, his goal will be achieved.

"Your Highness, this person is the younger brother of King Gaochang, Murong Xiaoyong." As soon as he left, Yi Yuanfeng introduced Li Chengqian, "The general has heard of this person's reputation a few years ago. Never did anything out of the ordinary.

Relying on the power of King Gaochang, he won the title of Second Lord in Water River County. "

Regarding Murong Xiaoyong, Yi Yuanfeng had indeed heard of many of his deeds before, but he had only met him a few times recently.

"Second Lord?" Li Chengqian smiled, "The name is not small."

"Your Highness, don't underestimate this person." Yi Yuanfeng said, "According to Tuyuhun's rules, when King Gaochang passed away, Princess Gaochang should remarry to this person.

If he were allowed to marry Princess Gaochang and inherit everything from King Gaochang, he might not be able to become the second King Gaochang. "

Yi Yuanfeng is reminding Li Chengqian that he knows that Li Chengqian is planning to pour the river county, so don't let people pick the peaches.

"Even if he inherits everything from Murong Xiaojun?" Liu San said beside him, "Does he dare to vote for Murong Fuyun again? After all, he has only one way to go!"

Li Chengqian nodded, that's the reason.

Water River County could not vote for Murong Fuyun, even if Murong Xiaoyong inherited everything, he would not dare to vote for Murong Fuyun again, first of all, those soldiers in Water River County would not agree.

"That's what I said, but recently this person has been plotting against Princess Gaochang. I heard that the army in Piaohe County is short of food, so he came here probably for this purpose." Yi Yuanfeng said.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was stunned, thinking that this guy is really not a thing, brother Ni is still thinking about his wife before he is buried?
Although my old mother-in-law is indeed a beauty in the world, are you being too anxious?

At this moment, there was a sound of gongs and drums, Yi Yuanfeng took a look and said, "Your Highness, this is a sacrifice to Xianbei Mountain, and it is a great gift from our clan.

The next thing to do would be to travel thousands of miles to the funeral and mourn for the dead. If His Highness finds it boring, you can go back to the tent to rest. "(Funeral customs are archaeological data, and we don't understand the process.)
Li Chengqian was not really interested in the funeral, he just came to show his attitude.

If it wasn't for subduing the hearts of these arrogant soldiers, to be honest, he would have just come to say hello.

The whole funeral was tossed from the morning until it was getting dark, and Li Chengqian went through the recent affairs in the tent and it was not over yet.

At this moment, Murong Xiaoyong came again, and after being notified, he was brought into the tent by Liu San.

"Your Highness, there are quite a lot of red tape. If Your Highness is tired, why don't you go back and rest?"

Eldest Sun Chong, who was also warming himself by the fire in the tent, was displeased when he heard this, "I said it a long time ago..."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and looked at himself, a man who could call him second uncle in name, very similar to Murong Xiaojun, but without Murong Xiaojun's masculinity, he was a little more feminine.

"Tired but not tired. I didn't do anything, but just looked at it." Li Chengqian smiled, "Besides, the elder passed away, as a junior, this is also what it should be."

Murong Xiaoyong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know that His Highness is pressed for time, and he will be buried when the time passes."

To be precise, Murong Xiaojun's funeral has already been held for a few days, and this is not treating him badly.

But Li Chengqian looked at this guy seriously.

He doesn't care whether this guy is a good person, and he doesn't care whether he hits his old mother-in-law's thoughts or not.

He only cares about whether this guy will become a roadblock for him.

"I heard that the soldiers in Water River County are short of food?" Li Chengqian asked tentatively.

Murong Xiaoyong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

I wandered around in front of Li Chengqian so many times today, but for this purpose.

"To be honest, there are at most a few days of rations in the army, and the soldiers did not panic when they saw that His Highness is still here." Murong Xiaoyong said immediately.

Hearing what he said, Li Chengqian was delighted, this guy can do it.

It's official stuff!

Among other things, this is shameless, it really smells like Changsun Wuji.

It's because I'm here that I didn't panic?
Who are you fooling...

But it seems right, I am here and they can rob me!

The combat power of an army without food is beyond the charts!

Shaking his head, Li Chengqian said: "Okay, you don't have to worry about the food issue, let's talk about something else."

As he said that, he looked at Murong Xiaoyong jokingly.

Murong Xiaoyong was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "I wonder what Your Highness wants to talk about?"

"I heard that you have a crush on the king's mother-in-law?"

Murong Xiaoyong was stunned, good guy, you are more straightforward than me.

But when asked about this, he simply said: "According to the rules of my clan..."

"Don't talk about the rules." Li Chengqian didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said directly, "Remember, that is the king's mother-in-law, do you understand?"

Puchi...

Chang Sun Chong, who was sitting on the side, sprayed directly.

Brother, you are too fierce!
This is too much fun, my daughter, you are not enough?Even the daughter-in-law is not spared?
Murong Xiaoyong was also stunned immediately, but his heart tightened.

He understood what Li Chengqian meant.

As far as Li Chengqian's status is concerned, it's not enough to rob him of a woman, and this also means that many of his plans have actually come to naught.

Because of Li Chengqian's intrusion, he couldn't resist.

He can win the Water River County, but after he wins, the only way to go is to submit to Li Chengqian. As for Murong Fuyun, he has never thought about it.

But now, Li Chengqian told him almost bluntly that he was not allowed to intervene in Water River County.

Seeing the change in his expression, Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to speak, he was waiting, drinking tea and observing this guy.

He could see that this guy was a little unwilling.

As for what he would choose, Li Chengqian didn't know, but Liu San walked up to him without making a sound.
