Li Shimin pressed his hands gently and said with a smile: "Xiao Hou and I are very happy that you all have joined us! After finishing the chores in the past few days, we should make proper arrangements for you guys next! After all, you all have joined us.
He is a lieutenant general in the army, but he will waste everything he has when he is idle!"
When Qin Shubao and others suddenly heard these words, their expressions froze! They seemed to be having a good time these days, but they were also in great pain inside! It can be said that they had no idea about their future and the future. Now that the time has come for the truth to come out, they couldn't help but feel...
Become anxious.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Shimin glanced at the old god Xiao Han, and then said to several people: "Originally, General Changsun wanted to leave you to set up defenses in Xiazhou City, but Xiaohou privately suggested to me that you lead the Xuanjia Army.
Go on an expedition! If you are a strong general, you should lead troops to attack and punish all directions.
Haha, these words later spread to General Changsun for some reason, causing General Changsun to be extremely reluctant! But I agree! It just so happens that there will be no war in Xiazhou City during this period. In two days, you all will go to Xuanxuan.
Army A each led a team of 100 men and began to take over training and other matters.
Having said this, Li Shimin paused for a moment, and then continued without waiting for a few people to speak: "Of course, I also know. Letting you lead a hundred-man team is a bit overqualified, but the total number of the Xuanjia Army is only a thousand, whether it is equipment or personnel.
They are all extremely strict and are the best among the best in our army! You will lead the army temporarily. When the number of troops increases in the future, the number of leaders will naturally increase accordingly!"
"Xuanjia Army!" Cheng Yaojin and others looked at each other as early as when Li Shimin said this name, with ecstasy in their eyes! Then when Li Shimin finished speaking, Qin Shubao stood up and bowed first, leading the others
The three of them bowed deeply to Li Shimin and Xiao Han: "Thank you Qin for your appointment! Thank you Xiaohou for your recommendation! I will take the lead in repaying your kindness!"
"Hahahaha! Generals, you are welcome! We are all a family now! Come and drink this bowl of wine. The Tang Dynasty will rely on us to fight together in the future!" Li Shimin stood up with the wine bowl, glanced at Xiao Han and spoke with a smile.
.
"Okay, do it!"
Cheng Yaojin and others' faces were a little flushed with excitement, and they all took the wine bowls and drank them all in one gulp!
During the two days they were here, they also got a preliminary understanding of Li Tang's personnel and forces. They had heard about the Xuanjia Army for a long time!
It can be said that although the Xuanjia Army is not famous now, as the core of the direct troops of King Qin, every Tang soldier Qin Shubao came into contact with talked about them with a look of longing! He wished they could join it.
And the few of them who have been demoted can become centurions here as soon as they arrive. This is not only a recognition of their combat prowess, but also an incomparable trust in them!
Let me ask, if you don't trust a person, who dares to place him in such an important position? As the masters of the dilemma, the four Qin Shubao cherish this trust even more now!
The stone in his heart dropped, and this drinking was particularly enjoyable! In addition, there was no need to work on errands tomorrow, so Cheng Yaojin completely indulged himself.
No matter who it is, the drink is dry! He didn't even use Xiao Han's words to persuade him to drink, and he was so drunk! He was so drunk that he couldn't stop, and he had to run to the yard to perform martial arts for King Qin.
look!
Pulling off his shirt, revealing the dark heart-protecting hairs on his chest, Cheng Yaojin looked like an unevolved chimpanzee! Qin Shubao had already hidden away with a wry smile, and Li Junxian had also cried out because he had just tried to persuade him.
After receiving two old punches, I was hugging the pillar and watching him go crazy.
In the novels of previous lives, Cheng Yaojin was always described as a man who only knew how to play with treasures. But now that Xiao Han saw it with his own eyes, he realized that Cheng Yaojin, Duke of Lu, did not come by luck!
The nine-foot-long and dozens-of-kilograms-weighted horse-stem looked like a piece of straw in his hand! When he waved it, it became even more powerful and domineering!
However, Cheng Yaojin had drunk too much and was a little unsteady on his feet. The horse moved to the left and to the right, frightening the Xiaodong fools in the yard and running around, fearing that they would be hurt by the drunken man!
Finally, after destroying a clump of peonies and interrupting a pear tree that had just bloomed, Ma Shan came out of the hand of the out-of-strength Cheng Yaojin and inserted it straight into the thick corridor column! Made of fine steel
The completed stem almost protrudes through the pillar, leaving the long stem swaying outside.
Xiao Han was dumbfounded, Li Shimin cheered loudly, Niu Jinda and Qin Shubao's faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot, only Cheng Yaojin was still looking up to the sky and laughing: "Haha, it's a shame! King Qin, Xiaohou, let me see how accurate I am!"
Different from the proud Cheng Yaojin! Li Junxian, who was holding the pillar, was so frightened by this that a layer of white hair sweat appeared on his head!
He was lying behind the pillar just now! When Ma Shan inserted it into the pillar, the huge force made his hands numb! Seeing that Cheng Yaojin still dared to brag shamelessly, he couldn't help but jump out and shouted:
"Bah! You shameless idiot, you obviously can't catch yourself, but you still have the nerve to boast! Did you know that you almost got yourself?!"
Cheng Yaojin stopped laughing, took out his ear sockets, and cursed at Li Junxian: "Fifth lady! What do you mean? Do you want to draw strokes? Come on, draw strokes! I won't let you try it today.
After tasting how powerful I am, Lao Cheng, I’m afraid of you!"
"Get out of here! If you hadn't just made a sneak attack! How would I have been hit in the nose by you?"
"Hahaha, just say it clearly if you are not as good as others... Ouch, who can kick me?"
It was night, and the neighbors around Xiao Han were in agony from all kinds of loud laughter, curses, and howls of pain! They didn't even dare to yell and curse... They all knew whose yard this was and had offended him.
It’s really impossible to survive in this city!
The noisy night passed, and on the second day, the scouts reported that Wang Shichong's large forces in Luoyang were advancing south. After repeatedly verifying the authenticity of the news, Li Shimin finally felt relieved! Now that the crisis was completely resolved, he had to consider leaving.
Here it is.
Three days, this is the time Li Shimin decided to set off.
A few days ago, news came from Chang'an: Li Shimin's cruel trick finally worked. Li Mi, who was extremely familiar with the Tang Dynasty and had won many battles, was secretly recalled to Jinyang, and his military power was also taken away!
Changing generals before the battle is a taboo on the battlefield! The new general who took office did not bother to continue to encircle and suppress the Tang people, and began to rectify the internal affairs of the army first!
As a result, Pei Ji, who had been repeatedly defeated in battles, finally breathed a sigh of relief, began to defend steadily, and at the same time sent people to Chang'an for help.
Li Yuan has always been a bit nepotistic in employing people. And as an emperor, his heart is really too soft.
Take the case of Pei Ji, for example. The first time he came back defeated, and the second time he was beaten like a lost dog. If this was left in Wang Shichong's hands, Pei Ji's head would have been hung on the city wall to dry! But now
Li Yuan just sighed and told him to stand still, and then sent Chai Shao, Xue Shou and others over!
Anyone with a discerning eye in the court would know that if these two people go to Jinyang, Li Shimin will definitely go! Once Li Shimin arrives, Pei Ji can naturally resign and return to the capital. Seeing Li Yuan like this, he will only have a meal when he comes back.
Reprimand and fine. To his old associates and relatives, Li Yuan can definitely be called a good person.
There are still three days left before departure, so these three days cannot be wasted!
Xiao Han directed everyone in his family to go up the mountain to pick tea early in the morning. There were only a few days left before the Qingming Festival. This Mingqian tea was much more valuable than the Yuqian tea, and it only happened once a year, so it must not be wasted!
Speaking of which, someone may have asked, why doesn't Xiao Han go by himself? Is it because he is lazy?
To put it this way, it’s a bit wrong to blame Xiao Han! Because he has more important things to do now, which is to get salt!
Chang'an is short of salt, Chencang is short of salt, and the entire Guannei Road is short of salt! And now that Xiazhou, which has always been regarded as useless, can produce salt, Li Yuan will naturally not let it go! Along with the military report, there is a decree to pay tribute to salt!
