Sui and Tang Dynasties: My Wife is the Eldest Grandson Wugou

Page 168

It is even more dangerous to grow food and other crops here, and Goguryeo will even send troops to snatch it.

The people in charge of guarding and supervising the transportation of grain and grass are Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son.

Because of the danger here and the fact that there is nothing to fish for, it can be said that there is no one who is willing to come here to serve as a general.

Yang Guang also had a headache for a long time and couldn't find a suitable candidate.

If he chooses important ministers, the important ministers are unwilling to go, and if he forces them, the important ministers will argue again.

But if you don't pick important ministers, those with lower ranks will not have the ability to guard them, and their prestige will not be enough.

This is a frontier area, and there is no certain prestige. If you want to defend this place, it is simply nonsense.

At this time, Li Yuan's initiative to invite Ying moved Yang Guang, and his suspicion of the Li family was much less, so he agreed to Li Yuan's request to come to Huaiyuan to serve as a general on the spot.

Li Yuan himself was Tang Guogong and an excellent general, and his second son Li Shimin was also very intelligent and skilled in martial arts. This pair of father and son soldiers will definitely be able to defend Huaiyuan well.

The degree of danger in the Huaiyuan area far exceeded the imagination of Li Yuan and his son.

Not long after they arrived, they were ransacked several times. In addition to the local bandits, there were also small-scale raids and lootings from the Goguryeo army.

Although the loss is not heavy, it is like someone slapping you twice from time to time, which makes Li Yuan and his son very upset, and they can't eat well or sleep well.

But tonight, Huaiyuan Town was attacked again by bandit Luo Badao. Luo Badao led hundreds of people just now, and robbed many imperial courts in the town of food.

"Father, this Luo is overbearing, it's too rampant!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth angrily. Seeing the tragic situation in the town, he glared at his father and said, "Father, should we hit him once, or these damned guys will keep harassing us."

"Fighting depends on the situation."

Li Yuan shook his head: "What we need to do now is mainly to recruit and surrender. As long as it's not too much, let them go."

In Li Yuan's heart, there was also resentment.

It's all that damned Ye Fan, otherwise his father and son would not be reduced to where they are today, suffering from such uselessness.

This damned place doesn't even have a decent mansion. When I first came here, I could only live in a broken tile house in the town, which couldn't even cover the rain.

Although they don't live in dilapidated tile-roofed houses now, they can only live in military tents, and their lives are simply miserable.

But what can be done?

The path you choose, you have to endure death.

"Make good friends with the local rogues and recruit the rebel forces. After we have accumulated a lot of money, the world will inevitably be in chaos by then. We can return to Luoyang, destroy the emperor, punish Ye Fan, and seize the world!"

"Then what if the world is not chaotic and the emperor governs a prosperous world?"

Li Shimin asked worriedly.

Li Yuan said domineeringly: "Even if the world is not in chaos by then, so what? Our Li family has a large army, so we must have greater power in the government and the opposition. No matter how the emperor wants to suspect us, he can only think about it in his heart."

"And Ye Fan, even if he has made great contributions, so what? His father was born in the Duke of Tang. In front of me, he is only a small official. When the time comes, his father will have the power of soldiers, and I am afraid that he will not be able to rule mere people. A General Yishi?"

"Father's words are true!"

After listening to Li Yuan's words, Li Shimin cupped his hands with joy on his face: "Son will definitely support father with all his strength!"

"Well, with your support as a father, the motivation will be even greater, but Shimin, it is obviously not enough for you to be a father alone."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan gently ordered: "You immediately lead a guard team, go back to Longxi, and take Yuanba over here, and leave it to my father to take care of the aftermath."

"Yes!"

Hearing his father's order to bring his third brother over, Li Shimin's expression was ecstatic, and he agreed without saying a word.

"Then father, please make sure that your son is leaving now!"

"Well, be careful along the way."

After a brief farewell between the father and son, Li Shimin led ten guards, turned around and ran out of the town.

at the same time.

In Yishi's barracks, in the general's tent.

Ye Fan in his sleep couldn't help but sneezed, then turned over and muttered indistinctly: "Which bastard is scolding me..."

After speaking, he fell into a deep sleep again.

Chapter 118 Yang Xuangan wants to rebel?

While sleeping soundly, Ye Fan was suddenly woken up by someone.

"General, general, there is news from the palace. His Majesty wants you to meet the saint, saying that there is something important to discuss."
