Datang: Abducting the eldest princess at the beginning

Chapter 74 74. Lighting lanterns in the pit is looking for something, right?

Wu Yong rolled his eyes and smiled faintly:
  "In that case, sir, please let the government officials on the top of the city rest first. ..."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did you say that?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said nothing.

Wu Yong said with satisfaction: "Old Li, you don't know this."

"Their coach is Murong Zun, son of Tuyuhun, who wants to marry Princess Li Lizhi of Changle."

"He and our Lord Jiang have known each other for a long time!"

"Although they have been attacking us in small ways before, they have never gained much and have always suffered heavy losses."

"Master Jiang, in his eyes, is a genius, a liar, and a bastard."

Jiang Chen glared at him: "Hey? Why are you swearing like this?"

Wu clasped his fists and said, "Ahem, no, no, it should be replaced by a little fox."

"What kind of empty city strategy, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, he has been fooled by all these, and suffered a lot of losses."

"Master Jiang means that we want to give them the illusion that our army in the state capital is undisciplined and has no fighting spirit."

"But once Murong Zun was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years."

"In that case, he will be more vigilant and not dare to act rashly."

"In this way, the soldiers guarding the city can have a good rest until dawn tomorrow."

"Tomorrow morning, in order to find out the truth, Murong Zun will definitely send an envoy and then recruit Mr. Jiang again."

Li Shimin nodded, and then said to Jiang Chen: "As expected of Mr. Jiang, he is truly unparalleled in his strategy."

"However, the envoys must not be allowed to enter the city. Once they enter the city, they will find that our army only has 20,000 people!"

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"wrong!"

"It is to let the envoys enter the city openly and without killing the envoys when the two armies are fighting. This is an iron rule."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Master Jiang, are you too confident?"

"He clearly knows that you only have 20,000 people in your hands. No matter how good your weapons are, he won't be afraid."

At this time, Li Lizhi and Leng Yue came up holding two trays respectively.

"Come on, everyone, drink some tea and moisten your throat."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Leng Yue distributed the tea.

Li Lizhi handed it to her father and Jiang Chen.

"Well, your skills are pretty good!"

After drinking a cup of tea, Jiang Chen looked at Li Lizhi and praised softly.

Li Lizhi laughed happily. She was used to Jiang Chen's fierceness. She was very happy when she heard such praise. Li Shimin looked at this scene and couldn't help but become arrogant: "My little girl's tea art has always been good."

After drinking tea, Li Lizhi and Li Li took their empty rice bowls and prepared to return to the kitchen.

Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the question he had asked before, so he made an analogy so that Lao Li could understand his tactics.

His eyes fell on Li Shimin and he said in a deep voice:
  "Old Li, do you understand the shame of the Weishui River?"

cough cough cough...

"Cough cough..."

Li Shimin also looked depressed.

This is his scar!

Li Lizhi immediately turned around and stared at Jiang Chen.

This Jiang Chen really doesn’t make people worry!
  Only a short time had passed, and he began to challenge the emperor's limits again. This was like lighting a lantern in a pit!

Looking for something!
  In Li Lizhi's eyes, Li Shimin's expression had changed from that of a peacemaker to that of an angry emperor.    “Be bold!“

"What do you, a young boy, know?..."

"At that time, there were less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City. Your Majesty had no choice but to let the elites take the lead, and then use civilians to make up the numbers in the rear. Let the cavalry drag tree branches, wave flags and shout, and stir up more dust."

"This is the only way to deter the Turkic Khan."

"However, a lie is still a lie and cannot become true."

"I can only give him something and let him leave."

At this point, Li Shimin raised his head and said viciously: "However, in the third year of Zhenguan, the emperor led an army to attack the Turks, and in the fourth year of Zhenguan, he wiped out all of them. This is already revenge."

"Junior, be careful, this is not a shame on the Weishui River, but an alliance on the Weishui River!"

Jiang Chen was also confused. Isn't it just a word difference? Is it necessary to be so excited?

Jiang Chen shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's our alliance, not our shame!"

"But, I mean Lao Li?"

Jiang Chen looked Li Shimin up and down and asked, "Are you familiar with His Majesty? Why are you so responsive?"

The hearts of Li Shimin and Li Lizhi were also beating fast.

Li Shimin felt that it would be better not to reveal his identity in a hurry.

If he spoke out at this time, this kid would definitely feel guilty because of what he had done before, and he would definitely be under a lot of pressure, and it might even affect his command.

Even the position of coach may be given to him.

But in this borderland, Li Shimin's name might not necessarily hold more weight than Jiang Chen's.

Li Shimin glanced at his daughter. This girl was right. Jiang Chen was too smart. The slightest sign of trouble would arouse his suspicion.

Li Lizhi quickly answered: "That's right!"

"My family is in the capital, and we are naturally concerned about the emperor."

"The people in this state care about you, and the people in the capital certainly care about the emperor more."

"Moreover, my father is the younger brother of General Li Jing. He also has many properties in the royal family and is highly appreciated by His Majesty!"

Li Shimin also echoed:
  "Yes, when the emperor was still the King of Qin, I served as a general advisor under him!"

"Later he was seriously injured, so he retired from the army and started doing business."

When Jiang Chen heard this, he nodded slightly.

That's it!

But it's true.

People in Shanzhou liked him very much, and the people in the capital who had experienced that disaster took it for granted that Li Shimin would protect him.

In fact, he did not target Li Shimin.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of the time traveler.

He habitually talks about some historical events directly using the vocabulary on Baidu.

Jiang Chen spoke directly and completely without caring about the feelings of the two common people in the capital of Tang Dynasty. Although he was careless and heartless, he could still distinguish right from wrong.

This matter was indeed my own negligence.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and put his hand on Lao Li's shoulder, "Old Li, don't get too excited."

"I just made a slip of the tongue and spoke out from the bottom of my heart. Your Majesty understands the righteousness and will not argue with me."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Haha, that's right. Your Majesty is naturally not such a small-minded person."

"Actually!" Jiang Chen added.

"You don't have to worry, His Majesty will definitely not mind."

"You said that you used to be a general under him and did business under him, but I think you definitely don't know as much about His Majesty as I do."
