The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 486 Li Siye and Feng Changqing

Back to the Shouwang Mansion where he had been away for a long time, the first thing Li Yunze met was Yang Guozhong who had been waiting for a long time.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, but Yang Guozhong is obviously much darker, his face is full of travel and dust.

Seeing Li Yunze, Yang Guozhong was obviously very excited, "Your Majesty, you are finally back~~~"

He was ordered to go to the Western Regions to recruit warriors, and the journey was indeed extremely hard.

It's just that he has gold in his hands, and he is willing to spend it. The basic necessities of life are the highest level of enjoyment, and he is not as miserable as he shows.

Doing this is just a small trick to show misery in front of Li Yunze.

Regarding this, Li Yunze knew it well, but on the surface he repeatedly comforted him, praising him for his reliable work, and he would definitely use Yunyun again in the future.

Anyway, good words don't cost money, just open your mouth.

A scene where you come and go with each other, completely crushing the so-called traffic stars in terms of acting skills.

After the drama ended, Li Yunze finally turned to the main topic, "Guozhong, how is the matter that I told you going?"

"Chen, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"

Yang Guozhong, with a smile on his face, immediately told Li Yunze about his contribution, "Your Majesty, I have selected a hundred and thirty-five warriors from the frontier army, all of whom are unparalleled in loyalty and bravery."

And Li Yunze was most concerned about "Where is Li Siye?"

Although I don't understand why Shou Wang would know about a little Captain Zhaowu in the distant Anxi Town, and even less why he would go out of his way to recruit this little Captain.

But for Yang Guozhong, who is good at drilling, earnestly completing the work assigned by Li Yunze is his only chance to make a fortune.

After seeing the prosperity and prosperity of Chang'an City, Yang Guozhong didn't want to go back to be a county captain at all.

He immediately invited Li Yunze to a separate courtyard in Shouwang Mansion, where more than a hundred warriors were wolfing down their lunch.

Seeing Yang Guozhong, who recruited them, walking in accompanied by a young man in a golden silk python robe, everyone immediately understood that it was the rightful lord.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands one after another, everyone stood up and saluted Li Yunze.

"Meet the king~~~"

The Tang army in Li Sanlang's period, although it is still possible to get ahead by virtue of military merit, but there are too many noble children from aristocratic families, which invisibly occupy a lot of opportunities to gain military merit, and it is even more difficult for ordinary soldiers to stand out.

At this time, the prince took the initiative to solicit. For these frontier soldiers, this is a very good opportunity.

Li Yunze's eyes swept across the crowd, and finally fell on the extremely burly and majestic warrior standing in the front row, over seven feet tall.

"The Qing family is Li Siye?"

Of course Li Yunze didn't ask casually, after all, if he identified the wrong person, it would be very embarrassing.The reason why it was confirmed that this person was Li Siye was because he was the only one wearing the school uniform.

Li Siye saluted again with a calm expression, "Li Siye, Lieutenant of the Zhaowu School of Anxi Dufu, pay my respects to the King."

Judging by his expression, it seems that he is not so happy, and there is even a trace of dissatisfaction.

Li Yunze frowned slightly, and glanced sideways at Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong smiled embarrassingly.

When he found Li Siye in Anxi before, he directly stated that it was King Shou who wanted to recruit him, but he never thought that Li Siye would simply refuse, unwilling to be the prince's guard, but to stay in Anxi to make contributions.

In this way, Yang Guozhong's main purpose of traveling thousands of miles would be completely defeated.

Yang Guozhong, who didn't want to end in failure the first time he worked for King Shou, went through the door of Lai Yao, the deputy governor of Anxi, and Lai Yao directly ordered Li Siye's military status to be transferred to the prince's tent in Shou Wang's mansion.

In order to get through this path, Yang Guozhong not only spent a huge sum of more than 500 taels of gold, but also caused many troubles at the Anxi Governor's Mansion by pulling Li Yunze's tiger skin.

The detailed story is estimated to be able to write a book "Yang Zhao's Journey to the West", so I won't go into details here.

Looking at Yang Guozhong's expression, Li Yunze roughly understood what method this guy used.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Li Siye can be brought over.

Looking back at the historically famous Mo Dao general in front of him, Li Yunze took two steps forward and firmly held his hand, "I have heard for a long time that Li Xiaowei is brave and unparalleled. It is my king's great fortune to help you~~~"

Li Siye is the most typical warrior on the battlefield, and his character is also straightforward.

Although he was dissatisfied with being dispatched to the comfortable city of Chang'an to be the prince's guard, Li Yunze's sincere attitude and flattery were quite to his liking.

At this time, he finally showed a smile, "I am appreciated by the king, and I am willing to serve the king~~~"

"Hahaha~~~"

Li Yunze, who laughed out loud, glanced at everyone's rice bowls, and immediately frowned, "You warriors have come all the way to serve this king, why do you only eat these clear soups and little water?"

He turned his head and yelled "Gao Jinzhong!"

Gao Jinzhong, who was staying at Shouwang Mansion, hurried in, "My lord."

"How dare you neglect the warriors that this king invited?" Li Yunze scolded with a dark face, "Why is there no meat? Why is there no wine? Could it be that you cheated?"

With a bitter face, Gao Jinzhong replied, "Your Majesty, the younger one is providing food according to the rules, and he has no guts to skip it. One meal of meat for three days and one meal of wine for ten days are the rules set by the court."

The Tang Dynasty was naturally strong and prosperous, and the prosperity of Kaiyuan was also a prosperous age with a long history.

But at this time, Datang's production capacity was considered good in the agricultural era, but it could not be compared with the industrial era at all.

A meal of meat for three days and a jug of wine for ten days is already a high standard.

"No reason!"

Li Yunze, whose acting skills are on the line, continued to scold, "How can my warriors be arranged according to common sense? Stop talking nonsense, and immediately go to the kitchen and ask them to cook, serve meat, and hard dishes! And wine, one jar per person! This king Let's drink with you warriors!"

The frowning Gao Jinzhong withdrew from the yard, but he was circling around in a hurry like ants on a hot pot.

Seeing this scene, Yang Guozhong came over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hey, Your Majesty wants wine and meat. The meat is okay. There are some survivors in the kitchen. But wine. Where are there more than 100 jugs of wine?"

"What's so difficult about it?" Yang Guozhong, who is very good at being a man, took out a gold bar from his sleeve with a smile, "If you don't have any in the house, then go outside and buy it."

"This, this, this..." Gao Jinzhong said quickly with bright eyes, "How can I let my uncle pay for it?"

"It's okay."

Yang Guozhong stuffed the gold bar into Gao Jinzhong's hands with a smile, "I'll lend it to you for now, and I'll just go to the accountant to pay the bill later."

"Thank you, uncle."

When the wine and meat were brought over, the frontier soldiers in the courtyard burst into cheers.

For these frontier soldiers who have been fighting fiercely with foreign races all year round, eating meat and drinking heavily is their biggest pursuit.

King Shou's generosity naturally made them very satisfied.

"Go and ask the country to order them to come over."

Following Li Yunze's instructions, Gao Jinzhong hastily invited Li Bai, Du Fu and others who were settling down separately here, and played the role of the atmosphere group to enliven the atmosphere.

As long as there is wine to drink, Li Bai has always been willing to refuse.

Great Tang military exploits, whether it is Du Fu, Wang Zhihuan or Meng Haoran, naturally they will not put on airs.

Cen Shen, in particular, was almost excited, pestering Li Siye and the others to keep asking about the war in the Western Regions, with an impassioned look as if he wished he could raise his sword and go to war now.

It was Gao Shi who expressed dissatisfaction with Li Yunze for breaking the rules and changing the original supply to one meal of meat per day, one pot for three days.

This will be a huge cost pressure for Shouwang Mansion.

As a big farmer in Shouwang Mansion, Gao Shi is still very responsible.

Eating, drinking, and the subsequent payment of relocation allowances soon made the frontier soldiers' favor towards Li Yunze rapidly increase.

Warriors in this era are actually very pure. If you support me, then I will work hard for you.

Just like during the Anshi Rebellion, most of the rebels under An Lushan were Han children.

Li Yunze had in-depth talks with these more than 100 frontier soldiers one by one, not only gave them money and supplies, but also assured them that even though they were just ordinary pro-military members of the Shou Palace, they would surely make them prosperous in the future.

During the conversation, what Li Yunze didn't expect was that there was an unexpected harvest!
"Your name is Feng Changqing?"

Looking at the thin, narrow-eyed, middle-aged man with poor legs and feet in front of him, his tone was slightly startled, "It's Feng Changqing, right?"

"Return to the king."

Feng Changqing saluted simply, "The young one is indeed called Feng Changqing."

Li Yunze simply turned his head to look at Yang Guozhong.

"Your Majesty." Yang Guozhong said with some embarrassment, "Although Mr. Feng's health is not good enough, his determination is admirable."

Through Yang Guozhong's narration, Li Yunze finally understood how this famous general came to the Shou Palace.

Yang Guozhong's recruitment of soldiers for Prince Shou's Mansion in Anxi caused a lot of trouble. Many people wanted to leave the difficult Western Regions and return to Chang'an City to follow the prince.

Except for Li Siye who was named by Li Yunze, the others were carefully selected by Yang Guozhong.

Feng Changqing also went to find Yang Guozhong, but he was not favored because of his health.

Unexpectedly, Feng Changqing's perseverance was very firm, and he would go to find Yang Guozhong every day. Even if Yang Guozhong went to another place, Feng Changqing would always follow him.

Even when Yang Guozhong made it clear that he had already recruited a full manpower and started to return to Chang'an City, Feng Changqing followed the trek all the way and did not give up.

This firm perseverance is even more precious against his slightly lame and thin physical condition.

Li Siye and others were moved by his firm perseverance and took the initiative to intercede for him, so Yang Guozhong had no choice but to give him a quota and bring him back to Chang'an City.

At this moment, Yang Guozhong felt a little uneasy, worried that Li Yunze would scold him for finding a cripple to fool him.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunze stretched out his hands to support his shoulders, and said sincerely, "Guozhong, you have made great contributions to this king! No matter how much crime you have committed in the future, as long as you don't rebel, this king will Forgive you for not dying!"

"Ah?" Yang Guozhong was stunned, completely unable to understand what was going on.

Naturally, Li Yunze would not explain anything to him, turned around and took Feng Changqing's hand and said, "From now on, I will follow this king, and this king will never treat you badly! I will not let the eunuch humiliate you!"

Feng Changqing, who had been ridiculed and ridiculed all the year round due to his health, was greatly moved, and immediately bowed down.

The news that Li Yunze had recruited more than a hundred frontier troops was reported to Li Sanlang by Gao Lishi.

Li Sanlang, who was busy cultivating Taoism and seeking longevity, didn't care about it.

"How much is a hundred people?"

For Li Sanlang, his thoughts at this time were on Prince Li Ying, who was gradually starting to move because of the pressure.
