Datang: Abducting the eldest princess at the beginning

Chapter 54 54. The war continues and the government officials are not around.

Li Shimin was stunned, what's going on?

Normally, when a war starts in one city, doesn't the non-combatant have to retreat in the opposite direction?
  Why do the people here look so righteous?

"Fellow!"

"The war is about to begin. You are not a soldier. Shouldn't you retreat?"

Hearing this, the veteran looked at Li Shimin. Why was this heroic-looking man in front of him so slow and spineless?

But one look at his clothes revealed that he was a businessman from out of town.

"They are retreating!" The veteran frowned.

"Men under the age of fourteen, women under the age of twenty, and women under the age of fourteen with children have all been evacuated and have been arranged in Yizhou."

"But we are logistics personnel and reserve forces, and we cannot leave!"

"Reserves?"

Li Shimin was also confused. Why did so many new words suddenly appear in this world?
  Not to mention him, even Li Li had never heard of the term "reserve".

Li Shimin asked again: "What does reserve mean?
  Haha!

The villager smiled proudly, gave a thumbs up to the state government office, and said, "This was invented by our governor."

"Once a war breaks out, the current soldiers will of course be the first to fight on the front line."

"In this case, the responsibility of us old men is to do the logistical work for them."

"Cook for them, bring them food, sew their armor."

"If we wait until they can barely hold on any longer, we'll keep an eye on them!"

"This is the reserve!"

"I won't talk nonsense to you. How could a rich man like you know this?"

"I'll give you a piece of advice. You'd better leave now. When the whole city is locked down tomorrow, no one can leave!"

After saying that, he pushed the cart away directly.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on the old man's back, and then he crossed his hands on his chest and bowed deeply to the leaving old man.

The imperial guards who came from the imperial palace were all stunned.

At this time, Li Shimin seemed to have forgotten his identity as emperor. He was just a wealthy businessman from Chang'an, Mr. Li.

He is just a veteran who has experienced many battles!

He is younger than the veteran in front of him. It can even be said that he is still a new recruit!

Perhaps, this veteran was the veteran who once guarded the border of the Sui Dynasty and guarded the gate of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, he is ready to return to the battlefield and guard the country in the Zhenguan period.

Why can't we bow to such a veteran?

Everyone continued to move forward and saw many similar scenes.

Every time parents and wives come to deliver supplies, they will say hello and meet their sons or husbands.

Perhaps, this meeting is a farewell.

"Reserves?"

"This Lord Jiang, is his pre-war mobilization ability so good? He really is a strategist!"

"I finally understand now that this is what the so-called non-combatants mean!"

"No wonder he has the confidence to withstand an army of 100,000 or even 200,000."

Li Shimin nodded to Li Lizhi, and then ordered to Li Lizhi: "Let's go and see this Mr. Jiang!"

Li Shimin, Li Lizhi and others stopped ten feet outside the government office!

Li Shimin frowned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Are these government officials in front of me all crazy? How dare you tear down the government office sign in the street? No, it's a plaque for demolishing the state government office.

"you……"

He raised his hand and was about to speak. He really wanted to stop this crazy move. Even if he wanted to prepare for war, there was no need to tear down the state government's sign!
  At this time, he saw another sign being moved out.

He calmed down and watched the changes.

He wonders what this person who once surprised and moved him will do on his territory?
  "Be safe!"

"Slow down, slow down, be careful."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Yamen servant stepped up the ladder and handed the three characters "Shanzhou Yamen" to the person in front.

Then, they took out a sign covered with red cloth and hung it on it.

Ouch!

As soon as the class leader hung the sign up, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

When people fall, they instinctively catch themselves, so he grabbed the red cloth covering the plaque.

He fell to the ground, and the red cloth also fell to the ground.

The eight words on the plaque are clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

"Shanzhou Defense War Command Headquarters!"

Li Shimin's heart moved and he looked at these two words silently.

"What's wrong with you?! It's not even the right time yet!"

"That's all, it doesn't matter if it's a good omen or a good omen! If you lift it, just lift it."

Li Lizhi glanced at his father and saw a smile on his face and a bit of relief in his eyes.

It seems right!
  That bastard governor, although his behavior is very bastard, he will never do bastard things.

"Dad, his future work and life will all be here."

"If the war continues, there will be no more Shanzhou Yamen!"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Think carefully, it is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to have such a wise minister, and it is a blessing to the people of the world."

The class leader stood up and saw Li Lizhi and others.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Li Li, who came from the capital. She was extremely beautiful and had no place to spend her money. She even secretly stamped a small seal on her master's forehead.

"Wealthy woman?"

"Leng girl, do you still want those two boring gourds?"

"What are you doing here at this time?"

The class leader patted the dust off his butt and walked up to them.

Li Shimin frowned. Leng Yuexin was Li Lizhi's maid and her personal guard. This nickname made sense.

Qin Huaidao and Cheng Chusi both protected their daughters, and their daughters took the decision in everything. They didn't talk much on weekdays, so this nickname was justified.

However, how could his daughter have such a reputation here?
  How much did this cost?

Li Lizhi smiled lightly: "We are here just for this war!"

"Not only me, but also my father. He brought several carts of money and food to support Mr. Jiang."

When the class leader heard the word "money and food", his eyes suddenly lit up.

With a wave of his hand, the government servants gathered around and lifted up the white cloth. Sure enough, it was money and food!

"You are so thoughtful!"

After speaking, he saluted Li Shimin and said, "Thank you for your support, sir."

"It should be." Li Shimin smiled.

"Where is your parent officer?" Li Li asked.

When the class leader heard this, he immediately stuttered and his eyes gleamed.

Li Lizhi saw the look on the monitor's face, and her keen intuition gave her a bad feeling.
