The Red Dragon Army and the Green Dragon Army in southern Xinjiang are both the elite among the elite.
Two hundred thousand red dragon troops and one hundred thousand blue dragon troops gathered together. Such a force could not be said to subvert the court, but it was a force that could not be ignored.
Concubine Ji gave it to Li Danqing in an understatement.
Such a result is unacceptable to both Xiang Luowen and Lu Chenji.
This is blatantly robbing people from their hands.
But after thinking about the situation for a while, both parties fell into silence and acquiesced to the matter.
This is not because they suddenly became loyal and patriotic, but because Ji Quan understood that the sudden defection of Ji Fei and his party in front of the ancestral temple was destined to make Li Danqing and Ji Fei strangers. Ji Fei and his party also understood
, Li Danqing and Ji Quan had deep grudges.
Such an existence is tolerated by both forces. Taking charge of this cobbled-together army of 300,000 people is a blessing among misfortunes for both sides.
What's more, it may not be easy to actually take advantage of these 300,000 troops.
In short, this three-day court battle finally came to an end.
And Li Danqing, who was almost executed for regicide a few days ago, became the ultimate beneficiary of the three-day court battle.
…
"So, the dean is leaving Wuyang City, right?" In the Prince's Mansion, everyone who got the news sat together, Ning Xiu frowned and looked at Li Danqing and asked.
"Of course." Li Danqing nodded and responded.
"But I heard that this time the Liao people gathered a million troops, and they were all elite soldiers and strong generals. If the dean goes like this, is it..." Yu Chiwan, who works in Longxiang Mansion, obviously knows the inside information.
More or less, he said with a frown at that time.
"It's not just our dean who relies on us, isn't there the White Wolf Army?" Liu Yanzhen said with a simple mind.
Luo Anan's face darkened and he whispered: "The White Wolf Army is now led by Li Sheyuan, and his relationship with our dean..."
After Luo An'an woke up, even the most optimistic Liu Yanzhen realized that things were not simple.
"Then I'll go with the dean!" And the best solution she could think of was to follow Li Danqing.
Although it might not be of any use, and although it might even be a disservice, this kind of kindness made Li Danqing feel warm in his heart.
But with Liu Yan really leading by example, everyone responded and expressed that they would follow Li Danqing to Longwuguan.
Li Danqing quickly waved his hands and said: "The battle at Longwu Pass cannot be fought in a day or two, and the Red Dragon Army transferred from southern Xinjiang to Longwu Pass will not arrive at Wuyang City for at least half a month. By that time
Then I will bring the Qinglong Army to meet with them and head to Longwuguan."
"Nowadays, the situation in Wuyang City is changing rapidly. No one knows whether the things agreed now will still be fulfilled in half a month, so you don't have to worry too much. Maybe after half a month, Li Sheyuan will
Have you already led the White Wolf Army to kill the Liao people to pieces?"
Li Danqing's words were spoken lightly, but everyone understood that he was trying to comfort them.
Although the worries in their hearts were far from being settled by Li Danqing's simple words, everyone did not refute Li Danqing's words too much.
After experiencing what happened before, everyone is more concerned about this moment
The time when Li Danqing is around.
As for what will happen in the future, it doesn't matter, because they will face it with him.
"I ordered Fang Yuezhai's braised pork and eight-treasure chicken, which are the prince's favorites. Let's chat while eating."
"The prince has been suffering in prison these days. After he came back, he didn't have time to rest, so he went to the court to have a few days of meetings. I'll make up for myself today." Zhou Qiushen felt sorry for Li Danqing and said so at that time.
Li Danqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he naturally nodded.
…
The situation in Wuyang City is still turbulent.
The overt and covert fighting between Ji Quan and Ji Fei has no intention of stopping.
Today, the Daliang Division under Ji Quan launched an attack to impeach the officials of Ji Fei's party. Tomorrow, Ji Fei's officials will issue seven or eight minutes of memorials detailing the crimes of the Ying family.
Two days later, Baiyi Mansion dug out the old accounts again and said how much money Taixue Pavilion had embezzled.
On the other hand, the Guiyu Mansion also accused the Prince's Mansion of having many accounts with unknown origins.
The two sides were quarreling with each other, and the quarrels were loud and noisy every day. Concubine Ji wanted to talk about how to use food and grass for the Longwuguan garrison, but she had no chance, so she had to discuss it with Li Danqing in private.
.
Fortunately, Xiahou Boyang, the head of the Longxiang Mansion, although he was a simpleton, he still had a lot of abilities. He quickly formed an army to transport food and grass. However, where should the money and food come from?
This is a problem. Although Wuyang's treasury is still full, the war at Longwu Pass cannot be calmed down overnight. They have to find ways to transfer money from other places. This matter alone is enough to give Master Ji a headache.
However, compared to how anxious Master Ji was, Prince Li had a much more comfortable life in the past half month.
With the military power of 300,000 elite troops, Li Danqing suddenly became a popular figure in Wuyang City.
Although these 300,000 troops were only temporarily transferred to Li Danqing, everyone could see that Master Ji's favor for Li Danqing, and coupled with the rumors about the two before this, everyone was almost certain that Li Danqing would go smoothly.
Following this high branch, I have been walking towards the blue sky.
Even if Ji Fei and Ji Quan met Li Danqing now, they would have to be polite.
These days, the Prince's Mansion seems to have returned to the days when Li Mulin was there. There is an endless stream of visitors coming to the door every day, and the gifts are also piled up.
"A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way! You accept everything and don't refuse anyone who comes! Aren't you afraid of criticism from others?" Ji Yuzhi, who came to the Prince's Mansion to "study" with Li Danqing, took a look and sat on the Taishi's chair.
Li Danqing, who squinted his eyes and listened to Jiang Yu playing the piano, said with some dissatisfaction as he ate a grape handed to him by Song Tong'er.
Li Danqing half-opened his squinted eyes and said with a smile: "How can there be any reason to turn away people when they come to give gifts? That's called lack of etiquette! This prince is treating people with courtesy. You, a child, can't you?"
You know nothing!"
"I think you are just so proud that you have forgotten your appearance!" Ji Yuzhi is not an ordinary child. Faced with Li Danqing's ridicule, he straightened his face and said seriously: "You think these gifts from others are free, they are real gold.
Silver things, you have received their gift today, if they ask for anything in the future..."
"Then just pretend you don't know me." Li Danqing interrupted Ji Yuzhi at this moment.
"Huh?" Ji Yuzhi was stunned. He probably didn't expect Li Danqing's answer to be so straightforward and so... shameless.
"What's the point? The gifts they gave are not for business. Besides, even if they are for business, you have to negotiate the price clearly before paying. How can there be any reason to give the money first and then say what you want?"
Li Danqing said nonchalantly.
Of course Ji Yuzhi felt that this was wrong, and he wanted to say something else.
A small fist was raised in front of him, but the little elk came over, raised his fist and shook it in front of Ji Yuzhi: "Stop talking, it affects my eating, it's not good, I'll beat you up."
"
As the little elk spoke, she happily took another bite of the candied cake in her hand. The corner of her mouth was stained with some sugar, but she didn't care. Instead, she looked at the cakes on the wooden table beside her.
Ji Yuzhi was shocked. He knew that his sister had been completely bribed by Li Danqing and indulged in this "wine pool and meat forest".
Ji Yuzhi was a smart child. After taking a moment to assess the situation, he decisively lowered his head and continued to immerse himself in the book.
"Speaking of which, two hundred thousand red dragon troops should arrive tomorrow. Will the dean have to leave Wuyang City by then?" At this moment, Xue Yun, who was sitting aside, suddenly asked.
"Almost, I've had enough rest." Li Danqing said helplessly, somewhat reluctant to part with this hard-won luxurious life.
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Xia Xianyin frowned upon hearing this, feeling somewhat reluctant and worried in her heart.
She originally wanted to go with Li Danqing, but she and Qingzhu now hold important positions in the Tianjian Division, and Yin Wujiang did not agree, so they both had to stay in Wuyang City.
"Don't worry, it's hard to say whether this battle can be fought or not." Li Danqing noticed her worries and pretended to be relaxed at that time: "The military report returned from Longwuguan three days ago was also
Speaking of which, although the Liao people made a lot of noise, after more than ten days, the thunder was loud and the rain was light, and they did not dare to invade Longwuguan in the slightest. The lack of protection was just a show of force."
How could Xia Xianyin believe this? She rolled her eyes at Li Danqing, stood up, went to the backyard, and then came back with a bowl of soup and handed it to Li Danqing.
Li Danqing was stunned and took the soup bowl. He looked at Xia Xianyin strangely and asked, "What is this?"
"Ginseng, wolfberry and deer whip soup! It's a long way to the west, so eat more good food! By the way, sister Qingzhu and I will go to you to explain some things tonight. Don't stay out for too long." Xia Xianyin said this and turned around.
Then he left with his ears red.
Li Danqing was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of these words.
Thinking of this, his heart became hot, and he drank the soup in one gulp, thinking that he didn't have to wait until night, he should do this as early as possible...
But just as he stood up, there was suddenly a rapid knock on the door outside the prince's residence.
"Who?" Li Danqing frowned and muttered with some dissatisfaction.
Zhou Qiushen also walked over and opened the door, and at this moment a eunuch hurriedly walked in, knelt down in front of Li Danqing with a plop, and handed over a memorial.
"The eldest princess...please invite the prince to the palace to discuss important matters."
Li Danqing gave the eunuch a strange look, reached out and took the memorial in his hand, and asked: "What is this, and why are you so panicked..."
"This...this is the battle report that was just sent to the royal capital..."
"General Li Sheyuan... and the 400,000 White Wolf Army... were all killed in Longwu Pass..."
