Li Chengqian also dispatched all troops and horses according to Li Shimin's order from the second day.
Because of the current shipping industry in Datang, dispatching troops and horses is not like before. You have to wait for ten days and a half or even several months.
And now that the Tang Dynasty has abundant grain and grass, there is no need to requisition grain and grass in advance.
Now all it takes is a piece of paper to hand over the order, and the troops and horses can be assembled immediately.
But before that, Li Chengqian still had to go somewhere.
…
Hejian Palace.
Because Li Chengqian spent most of his time hanging out with Li Chongyi here when he was a child.
So coming here is almost the same as going home.
What's more, he arranged the marriage between Sun Tingfang and Li Chongyi.
Although the Sun family is not a noble family, it is still a really good family.
This can be seen from how he treated Cheng Yaojin.
And Sun Tingfang herself is also a very good woman.
In terms of family management, he was able to manage the family in an orderly manner after Li Xiaogong and Li Chongyi left home.
The relationship with relatives and sisters-in-law is also handled very well.
Because of her arrival, the entire Hejian Palace presented a harmonious and beautiful scene.
Apart from other things, just talking about this scene, how many people in Chang'an city didn't say that Li Chongyi married a good wife?
Li Xiaogong was also very happy about this.
After Li Chongyi calmed down, he naturally took on the responsibilities he should bear.
The couple, Luan Feng and Ming, love each other and are indeed a good modern couple.
This time, Li Chengqian came over.
Sun Tingfang also prepared a table of good wine and food in advance.
On the wine table.
Look at the couple playing the piano and singing in harmony.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile: "Cousin, do you know who is the right person this time?"
"hehe."
Li Chongyi smiled and looked at his wife with gentle eyes.
"Should I say it or not, I really need to thank you for this."
< br> "If it weren't for you, I'd probably miss Tingfang, let alone live such a comfortable life today."
After saying this, he picked up a piece of fish and put it in Sun Tingfang's bowl, saying: "Eat more fish, it will be good for your health."
Hearing this, Sun Tingfang's pretty face turned red.
But Li Chengqian on the side heard the clues.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it possible that I'm going to be an uncle?"
"Um."
Li Chongyi nodded, and then said: "But you are dragging me out to fight at this time."
"Oh my God."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have called your name."
Li Chengqian couldn't help but show an annoyed look on his face and said, "It would be great if you could have your wife and children at home warm on the bed."
"Your Highness must not say that."
Sun Tingfang said at the right time: "If His Highness doesn't take him, I'm afraid he will get very angry."
"He still dares to get angry at you?"
Li Chengqian smiled, looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "Then I, Uncle Wang, are not allowed to take out the horse that has been hidden for many years and knock him?"
"That is."
Li Xiaogong raised his head and said, "If he dares to bully me, Fang'er, let alone Ma Shan, the meteor hammer will fall on him."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.
Li Shimin still treats himself gently.
After all, the most Li Shimin could do to beat his son was a cane ruler.
On the other hand, Li Xiaogong was doing well. He even started using the meteor hammer to beat his son.
Li Chongyi on the side couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly after hearing this.
He said: "I really don't know whether you have found a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law."
"No matter how I look at it, my son is not treated as well as your son-in-law."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong raised his head and said, "Yes, Fang'er is my daughter. If you want to bully her, I will have to die."
"Hey, eh, eh."
"Dad, we can't say this nonsense."
Li Chongyi said directly: "We will go on an expedition in a few days. Isn't this asking for bad luck?"
"I really don't take this little Japanese pirate seriously."
"If we beat them, our soldiers from the Tang Dynasty can wipe them out just by walking past them."
Li Xiaogong said with confidence: "This war will be over in three months at most."
It can be seen that he is quite confident.
Especially when fighting against Japanese pirates, he was quite confident.
But in Li Chengqian's opinion, this is quite dangerous.
Li Chengqian said directly: "Uncle Wang, what you said is almost meaningless."
"As the saying goes, when a lion fights a rabbit, you have to do your best, not to mention that this is a battlefield between life and death."
"Although the Japanese pirates' territory is small, the Japanese pirates cannot be underestimated."
"Even this time, you cannot treat them as Goguryeo people. At the very least, you must give them the same treatment as the Turks."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was puzzled.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
Li Xiaogong looked at Li Chengqian with a puzzled face: "Is it possible that these Japanese pirates are as brave as the Turks?"
To be honest, we can’t blame Li Xiaogong for being a talkative.
After all, the strongest opponents that the Tang Dynasty had encountered since its founding were the Turks.
The reason why the subsequent battles became easier each time was because the Turks were too strong at the beginning, which made future opponents appear so vulnerable.
"Although not as brave as the Turks."
"But it certainly shouldn't be underestimated."
Li Chengqian said directly: "As far as I know, these Japanese pirates are really brave enough to fight, fight and die."
"If it weren't for this, Silla wouldn't have been defeated so miserably."
"And Silla is not that vulnerable, otherwise Goguryeo would have wiped them out long ago."
Li Cheng What Gan said is also true.
Although it is true that Silla was a small country, their soldiers were also tempered through years of battles.
But for a country like Silla, even though it was waiting for work, it was beaten by the Japanese pirates and was unable to fight back. This shows how powerful the Japanese pirates are.
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Li Xiaogong also thought deeply for a while.
He said: "Your Highness is right, I underestimated the enemy too much."
When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Thankfully, His Highness reminded me, otherwise I would have suffered a miserable loss on the battlefield."
"That's not the case."
"After all, the strength of Datang lies here."
"Not to mention Uncle Wang's unique tactics in water warfare. They are no match for us in the sea."
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Now, the only difficult thing is what to do next."
"Follow up?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was a little confused and asked: "What do you mean by your highness?"
"It is not difficult to defeat the Japanese pirates. What is difficult is how to prevent them from peeping into the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Xiaogong and said: "These people are a bunch of wolf cubs. If you don't beat them to hurt them, they won't have a long memory."
"Um."
Li Xiaogong nodded and said, "This really requires planning in advance."
"That's right."
"I can barely command the land battle."
"But I really don't understand water warfare at all. When the time comes, I will have to leave full authority to Uncle Wang."
"So this matter has to be decided by Uncle Wang."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Chongyi again and said, "Cousin, what do you think?"
"When the time comes to go to the battlefield, everything will be easier to say."
Li Chongyi held the wine bowl and said: "Now I just want to eat and drink well..."
Obviously, this guy is also quite confident.
Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, when we start fighting with them, I'm thinking about how to slap this disgusting fly to death..."
