"Is that you?" Li Danqing saw the other person's appearance clearly and frowned immediately.
Although Prince Li had been with his father in his early years, he was very familiar with the affairs of the court and had some knowledge. Therefore, he could use the mountain of the eldest princess to navigate between the two forces of the prince and the second prince.
Suffer.
But he is not omniscient and omnipotent, nor can he account for every step of Lu Chenji and Xiang Luowen.
Yesterday, in the main hall, although he sounded arrogant, he single-handedly decided on the strategy of conquering the Liao people.
In the name of this righteousness, even if the prince and the second prince had their own plans, they would not dare to refute them face to face. However, it does not mean that they will not cheat secretly.
For this reason, Prince Li also told all parties to be careful about the movements of the two parties.
The matter of conquering Liao is of great importance, and there is no room for sloppiness.
But Li Danqing never imagined that this brief article would be so bold that he would dare to come directly to the recruitment office to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Danqing frowned, looked at the other party, and said in a deep voice: "This is the recruitment place for our anti-Liao army. I wonder what kind of teachings General Mang has here?"
Hearing this, Mang Ku raised his head and glanced at Li Danqing, with the same unkind expression.
"Can't I come?" he asked rhetorically.
Li Danqing raised his eyebrows and said: "General Mang is the official of the imperial court and is responsible for the security of the royal capital. Except for the Shenyu Palace, in theory, General Mang should be free to come and go anywhere in Wuyang City."
.”
Li Danqing said with a smile, but at this moment he suddenly paused, and then his expression turned cold: "But! Fighting against the Liao people is a major event related to the survival of Wuyang Sheji, and recruiting troops is the most important part of this event.
If General Mang continues to obstruct like this..."
Mangku frowned when he heard this: "Li Danqing! Didn't you know that you saw me obstructing the recruitment of soldiers?"
Li Danqing sneered. He glanced at the surrounding situation and saw Mangku standing there, with a large number of officers and soldiers wearing Shenhu Army standard armor behind him, surrounding the entire recruitment department, and a large group of obvious people around him.
Common people who came to join the army were kept outside and were not allowed to enter. This was probably why Chai Hongyun was so anxious when he saw Li Danqing.
"General Mang is not like a man. If you want to obstruct it, then show your courage. Don't be timid. Don't be afraid of what you dare to do..." Li Danqing said with a sneer.
But these words were just spoken, when the soldier in charge of recruiting troops beside him hurriedly whispered in Li Danqing's ear: "Your Majesty, General Mangku really didn't come to cause trouble, he came to join the army..."
"Enlisting in the army is nothing..." After hearing this, Li Danqing was still ready to use his sharp tongue to humiliate his opponent, but only halfway through his words, Li Danqing realized something was wrong, and his eyes suddenly widened.
He looked at Mang Ku in front of him with confidence: "What? Enlisting in the army?"
Mangku obviously also knew that Li Danqing understood the whole story. He folded his hands on his chest and looked at Li Dan with a sneer.
Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Isn't it possible?"
Li Danqing frowned and looked at Mang Ku in front of him with a strange expression. He never expected that Mang Ku would do such a thing to him.
The soldier beside him seemed to notice Li Danqing's doubts, and at this moment he leaned into Li Danqing's ear and said: "Young man is really not sure about this matter. General Mang has a special status, so my little move is not impossible.
I asked him to go back and wait, but he didn't want to, so he led a group of people to block here. The younger one was about to go to the army to report, and the prince happened to arrive..."
Li Danqing nodded, but did not use this matter to criticize the soldier harshly. Mang Ku's identity was sensitive, and it was indeed not something he could decide.
After figuring out the whole story, Li Danqing calmed down the fear that had just surged in his heart. He turned to look at Mang Ku again, and Mang Ku also looked directly at him at this time.
The two people's eyes intertwined, and they collided in mid-air, and neither of them gave in to each other.
"So, what is Prince Li's answer?"
"My six thousand brothers and I have been waiting for a full hour."
"The Crown Prince keeps telling me not to be timid like a girl, to dare to do something but not to take it seriously. Then the Crown Prince had better act like a man, not to hesitate and be indecisive!" At this moment, Mang Ku broke the silence.
"Give me a reason." Li Danqing looked at the other party and asked.
However, Mangku said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."
"You, Li Danqing, are not the only one in the world who has the courage to fight against the Liao people."
Hearing this, Li Danqing looked up and down at Mang Cave, the light in his eyes flashing with unknown meaning.
But Mang Ku still didn't dodge his gaze when facing Li Danqing. In this way, Li Shizi looked straight at the other person for more than ten breaths, and then suddenly said: "Okay."
"Register General Mang and the brothers behind him."
Li Danqing's agreement came so quickly and decisively that even Mangku was stunned at that time. He looked at Li Danqing with a little surprise, but he was a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid that we have an ulterior motive for this trip? What if?
In the military camp, are you causing trouble and disrupting your military morale?"
After hearing this, Li Danqing said: "The army has its own military discipline. I think General Mang has been in the army for many years, so he will not know the law and break the law."
Mang Ku shrugged his shoulders: "That's right. There are six thousand of us. Prince Li can completely break us up and reorganize us to supervise us."
Mang Ku's idea is not nonsense. As far as he knows, Li Danqing currently has only 200,000 troops at his disposal. The 6,000 men he has are more or less, but if he is in the army,
It is really twisted into a rope, and it is not difficult to interfere with it. Even if Li Danqing really lets Mang Ku and these 6,000 people enter the military camp, if there is no precaution at all, in Mang Ku's view, it is not appropriate.
Common sense.
Hearing this, Li Danqing said: "Time is urgent. The 200,000 troops under my command have just been getting ready recently.
If new personnel are suddenly recruited, the integration that has just been completed will inevitably cause mistakes again."
"These six thousand people are all General Mang's old troops. They have always been under General Mang's command. It is natural for General Mang to lead them. Moreover, the establishment of these six thousand people is somewhat smaller. The troops and horses that Mang will recruit later will
The general will select 4,000 people from among them, make up the number of 10,000, and then go to the camp to report. As for the final organization, we will make unified arrangements after the recruitment is over. What does General Mang think?"
As Li Danqing said this, the smile on his face became even bigger.
For a while, Mang Ku couldn't decide whether what Li Danqing said was sincere or meant to make fun of him. He asked in a deep voice: "Are you really not afraid that my trip here is a false surrender, but in fact there is a hidden conspiracy?"
"General Mang just said, let me not think that I am the only one in the world who has the courage to fight against the Liao people."
"Then let me return the favor to General Mang. General Mang, please don't think that you are the only one in the world who has the freedom and ease to give up past grudges in order to resist foreign enemies!"
As soon as Li Danqing said these words, a smile spread across his brows as he looked at Mang Ku.
Mang Huan was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to come to his senses and started laughing inexplicably.
All the past was written off at this moment, with this smile at each other.
…
The enmity between Li Danqing and Mang Ku is nothing new to the people of Wuyang City.
However, at this juncture, one of them was able to lose face, put aside party disputes and ask to join the anti-Liao army, and the other was able to ignore past grudges, take him under his command, and entrust him with important responsibilities.
This kind of drama is very much like a story in a book.
Of course, people also secretly admire Li Danqing as the person involved, saying that he has beauty in his chest and everything in his belly.
There was an endless stream of people who came to sign up for the army, but in just five days, not counting the tens of thousands of people who came from Yingshui County to support, the number of troops raised alone had exceeded one hundred thousand, reaching
A huge number of 140,000, of which 40,000 were the original refugees who repaid their kindness and enlisted in the army. The total number of people under Li Danqing was also close to 200,000.
The 10,000 war horses promised by Jin Liuxiang have also arrived. Although the number of cavalry in their hands is still far from the ideal number of 50,000, it has reached 30,000. In addition, Longxiang Mansion is still helping to raise war horses.
If the number reaches 40,000 before the expedition, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Everything is proceeding step by step. Materials donated by all parties are also huge, and food and military supplies are in place. Li Danqing is not willing to delay any longer. The Liao army has been hoarded in Luwu County. If they wait any longer, the opponent will
They had to fight to the bottom of Wuyang City. At that time, they became more and more passive.
The expedition has been put on the agenda, and before the expedition, Prince Li still had one very important thing to do.
On this night, the lanterns were lit.
Prince Li came to the Tianjian Division alone and opened the door of the Tianjian Division's chief minister...
