Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 77
Hu Shiba ate a lot back and forth, and the guys at Cosmopolitan House were a little dazed.

They entertained quite a few guests here, but it was the first time they had eaten so many like Hu Shiba.

They felt that Hu Shiba ate at least eight people's meals.

"How's the food?" Qin Tian asked after Hu Shiba finished eating.

Hu Shiba rubbed his stomach and said with a smile, "I've never eaten so much before."

"It's good to eat well, let me ask you, what are you going to do next, you can't just keep eating for free like this?"

Everyone has to face the issue of livelihood. After Hu Shiba was asked, he suddenly became worried.

Seeing him like this, Qin Tian continued to say: "Well, I think you are also a man with a strong body, so follow me from now on."

Hearing this, Hu Shiba asked, "Are you full with food?"

"It's natural to be full."

"Okay, then I'll follow you."

Qin Tian nodded, and then he didn't stay in Si Hai Ju, led Hu Shiba and left.

After they left, Lu Feng shook his head secretly, went upstairs and told Lu Huaniang about the situation.

"Miss, I really don't know what Mr. Qin is thinking, so what does he keep for a person who can eat?"

Lu Huaniang was also puzzled, if Qin Tian wanted to serve as a bodyguard, he could have found someone who was obedient with little food, why bother to find this Hu Shiba, his appetite is really scary.

But this matter has little to do with Lu Huaniang, so she forgot about it after a few days.

It's just that Lu Huaniang forgot, but here in the Qin Family Manor, no one has forgotten.

"Miss, my uncle brought a person back two days ago. We didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but it was only two days ago that we found out that this person is a fool."

Xiaoqing muttered and said, Tang Rong was curious, and asked, "Why are you an idiot?"

"Eat a lot, he can eat several people's meals at a time, but he has nothing to do all day, so he runs around with my uncle."

Speaking of this, Xiaoqing rolled her eyes: "Miss, although we are rich now, we can't support such a person. You have to talk to my uncle and let him drive this person out. He will drive him out." Our family feeds the poor."

Hearing this, Tang Rong laughed secretly. No matter how good Hu Shiba could eat, it was impossible for his family to be poor. However, Tang Rong was very curious about Qin Tian taking in such a person, and thought of asking him about it at night. .

When night came, Qin Tian and Tang Rong were sitting in the bedroom chatting.

"Sir, I heard that Hu Shiba is very edible?"

Qin Tian nodded: "It's only enough for seven or eight people."

Tang Rong was startled, and asked again: "Such a big appetite is also taken in by Mr. Xiang, but do you think this person is useful?"

"This Hu Shiba has a big appetite, but he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Back then, he was just a soldier under Liu Heita's account. After Liu Heita's death, no one else would help collect the body. Only he was willing. This person respects Love is important."

Speaking of this, Qin Tian paused, smiled, and said: "Also, that day at Four Seas Residence, I saw a few guys beat him with sticks, and he seemed to be fine, so I deduced that he The force must be astonishing, and the strength is not small, with him by my side, it will be safer if something happens to me in the future."

If it's just about love and righteousness, Qin Tian doesn't necessarily have to keep Hu Shiba by his side. After all, there are many people who value love and righteousness to find, so he doesn't have to look for Hu Shiba.

The real reason lies in Hu Shiba's powerful force.

After hearing this, Tang Rong somewhat understood, thinking that with such a person following her husband, she would not have to worry about her husband's safety.

As long as her family is fair and safe, let alone the food for eight people, even the food for eighteen people, her family can still afford it.

Li Shimin has almost bought the grain and grass.

But at this time, another urgent report came from the border.

That morning, an official from the Ministry of War stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border. Liang and Later Sui each sent ten thousand elite soldiers, preparing to collude with the Turks and attack Lingzhou."

After the Ministry of War officials finished the news, Li Yuan frowned immediately, and shouted: "Liang Shidu and Yang Zhengdao are so bold, I haven't sent troops to encircle and suppress them, they have colluded with the Turks first, it's really abominable, dear friends, Do you have any good ideas?"

Both Liang and the Later Sui Dynasty were small regimes in the north. Because they were attached to the Turks, they were more difficult to eliminate. However, in the entire Tang Dynasty, only these two small countries are left.

The emperor of Liang is Liang Shidu. Liang Shidu came from the proud family. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he turned against the Sui Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he fought with him several times. crusade.

Later Sui was built by Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Emperor Sui Yang, but it was also attached to the Turks.

These two small countries were really ignored by the Tang Dynasty before. What Li Yuan didn't expect was that they would dare to join forces with the Turks to make him an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Yuan finished speaking, Pei Ji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if Liang and Hou Sui's [-] elite soldiers attack our Tang soldiers from behind, they will cut off our supply of food and grass. At that time, our army may become a lone army." Deep down, the situation is not good."

"My lord, you should send troops to rescue immediately."

The officials in the court chattered, but Li Yuan frowned slightly: "All the elite soldiers and generals of the Tang Dynasty have gone to Lingzhou with the crown prince. Now there is a shortage of soldiers and horses. How can we rescue them?"

After speaking, Li Yuan said again: "Who else can lead the army?"

At this time, Li Shimin stood up and said: "Father, my son is willing to lead the army to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince."

"His Royal Highness, where did the soldiers come from?"

"Recruitment, in a place as big as the Tang Dynasty, can't we recruit [-] soldiers and horses? With only [-] soldiers and horses, this king can relieve the prince's danger."

Pei Ji's expression was slightly condensed, originally he didn't want Li Shimin to lead the army, but now those who can fight are basically taken away by the prince, and now he can't do without him.

If unscrupulous generals go to rescue the prince, the situation of the prince will be very dangerous. Pei Ji pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, what His Royal Highness King Qin said is very true."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuan felt that Li Shimin was responsible for this matter, so he could only nod in the end: "Okay, let King Qin be the marshal of the second army, and immediately recruit [-] troops to go to the border to rescue the prince."

"My son takes orders."

After the early court retreated, Li Shimin immediately went back to the mansion and called Changsun Wuji, Chai Shao, Fang Xuanling and other civil officials in Beijing, as well as Cheng Yaojin and others.

"The Lingzhou crisis, do you have any good strategies to solve the siege?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin stood up: "My lord, the crown prince has robbed you of your job. Now let him suffer a little bit, what can you do to help him?"

"Naughty..."
