Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 297 Return of the Scout

Li Chengqian's excellence is recognized by history. History books record that Li Chengqian was "smart in nature", "specially sensitive", "grand and majestic, benevolent, filial and pure". Li Shimin liked him very much.

Li Yuan died of illness, and during his funeral, Li Shimin ordered the crown prince to oversee the state power and know the military and state affairs, and Li Chengqian "knows the general situation" and "can hear and judge", and he did a very good job.In the ugly June, the courtiers begged Li Shimin to go to the court to listen to the government, and Li Shimin agreed, but "the prince still entrusted the details". After that, when Li Shimin went out on a tour, the prince Li Chengqian stayed in Beijing to supervise the country.

It can be seen from this that Li Chengqian is very good, but Li Chengqian began to rebel as he got older and suffered from foot disease.So Li Shimin "searched and visited the virtuous and virtuous to assist the palace", and successively selected more than ten veteran and famous officials as the assistant ministers of the East Palace.However, these admonishers ignored a very important point, that is, whether such an education method is suitable for Li Chengqian, and whether blindly admonishing can correct Chengqian's deviated behavior?Because looking at the persuasion of Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu and others, we can find something in common—these three people are almost more sparse than each other, and their words are more fierce than the other, and each sentence is sharper than the other, but in the end they don’t accept it at all. Less than expected effect.

Li Chengqian only built a house, so Yu Zhining criticized him for being too extravagant; Li Chengqian played with eunuchs, but Yu Zhining criticized him again, and even compared him to Qin II.In contrast, Kong Yingda was even more intense. As long as he felt that Li Chengqian was wrong, he would immediately offend Yan Zhiqian. The prince's wet nurse, Mrs. Sui'an, once persuaded Kong Yingda that the prince was too old to always criticize in front of his face. However, Kong Yingda said that I "had nothing to hate for death" in doing so, and the result was "the remonstrance is too much, and Chengqian cannot accept it."As for Zhang Xuansu, he was always admonishing him all the time, his words were so urgent that Li Chengqian would listen to him immediately, and it is conceivable what the result will be.

It can be said that the reason why Li Chengqian in history became what he was later, and embarked on the road of rebellion, is that apart from the internal cause of his foot disease and becoming suspicious, those ruthless ministers have an inescapable responsibility .

I thought that the history books were deliberately beautifying Li Chengqian's image, but after getting along with him, Qin Feng realized that Li Chengqian is really a rare prince.

"Tomorrow we may withdraw to the Central Plains. You, Su Dingfang, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baoqing and others will lead the frontier army first."

"Did something happen?" Li Chengqian asked alertly.

"I suspect that the Turkic people are waiting for us to surrender ourselves. At the same time, I also suspect that someone has leaked our whereabouts. Therefore, we have to change the plan midway."

"Has it been found out?" Li Chengqian was furious, and said, "Which bastard did it?"

"We can't find out yet, and there is no evidence. We can only wait for the news of the scouts tomorrow." Qin Feng didn't hide anything, and told all his speculations and preparations before leaving.However, doubts about Changsun Wuji would never be revealed.

"It was aimed at me, right?" Suddenly, Li Chengqian murmured to himself in a sluggish manner like a deflated ball.

"Maybe it's you, maybe it's me." Qin Feng said here, and said with a smile: "A tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. I show my sharpness, and it may be annoying. After all, whether it is imperial examinations, martial arts It is I who raised the issue of public affairs, or the administration of officials, and there are countless people who hate me."

"It doesn't matter what the target is, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I'll leave when the news is confirmed." Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I promised so simply, you won't think that I'm afraid of death because of that." Bar?"

Qin Feng snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "The most sensible choice, let me be honest, you are just a burden if you stay. Presumably you think so too."

Li Chengqian stared at Qin Feng speechlessly, even if you knew this was the case, you don't need to say it, it would be too hurtful to self-esteem.

Qin Feng coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "The biggest shortcoming of me is that I can't tell lies."

"Okay! I admit that you are the most honest person in the world."

Li Chengqian asked with a wry smile: "I asked everyone to prepare and prepare to evacuate at any time. By the way, the Wumeng tribe has a total of more than 13 people, and there are tens of thousands of young and strong people who can go to the battlefield. Khan's soldiers, you have 1 tiger and cardinal troops, at least you have to face [-] to [-] people who control the strings, and you only have [-] people without the frontier army, can you handle it?"

"The soldiers are good but not many. Let me tell you the truth. I still have lingering concerns about the determination of the frontier soldiers. If they disperse on the battlefield, it will be over."

Li Chengqian pondered: "Your force is too small. I will leave you five hundred imperial guards. They are all the Xuanjia Army who followed the father in the north and south. use."

"No!" Qin Feng refused: "The Xuanjia Army is known as the number one army in the world. I don't doubt their combat effectiveness. However, their tactics are different from those of the Tiger Army. The Tiger Army's tactics may not be able to exert their full strength. .Besides, you need them too, we can't guarantee that there will be no enemies on the way back to the army."

"Forget it. It's up to your arrangement." Li Chengqian was not a procrastinator, he said, "If you really want to evacuate, just let me know."

"Take care of yourself!"

"I'll wait for you in Shuofang, let's go back to Qingzhou together." Li Chengqian patted Qin Feng on the shoulder heavily.

**********
"General Qi, the scouts are back."

What Qin Feng waited for all night without sleep was the news of the scouts. The several waves of scouts he sent out overnight did not come back for a long time, which made him feel a little heavier: if he didn't come back, it was probably because something happened. can't come back.This means that the Turks really came.

If the Turks really came, Qin Feng found that he couldn't do anything before he got the exact news, and he felt a feeling of playing too much.

Except for the patrolling soldiers and the personal guards who delivered the news, everyone else had already been sent to rest by him, and he sat alone in the military tent and practiced internal strength.

After waiting for the daylight, Su Dingfang, Luo Tong, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baoqing, and Fang Yiai also came over early.

At this time, when they heard the news that the scout had returned, everyone was shocked in vain, Qin Feng hurriedly said: "Please invite him in!"

The scout walked into the handsome tent with some apprehension, and the curtain fell down.

It was dark inside, and the air was humid and dull.Looking at the man directly in front of him, he felt a little excited: "Idol!" He has been in the army for more than a year, but this is the first time he has had such close contact with an idol.

Qin Feng is young, only 17 years old this year.He didn't rely on his family background, nor did he rely on anyone's support.Leng relied on his personal ability to ascend to the position of general step by step.His deeds can almost produce an inspirational legendary novel.

The Tang Dynasty was martial arts, and almost all the young people nowadays regard Qin Feng as their goal, as a role model in life, and regard him as the idol of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing the dew soaking his clothes, the dew on his hair and eyebrows, and the scars on his face that were not deep or shallow, Qin Feng was very pleased. With such fearless soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, why worry about the world being injustice?
The ancient scouts are the same as the scouts. They are fighting on the front line, doing the most dangerous and hard work, even sacrificing hundreds of people in order to collect a small piece of information. Therefore, Qin Feng has great respect for the scouts Much respect and gratitude.

Looking at the idol so close at hand, the scout really couldn't control his emotions.

"Brother, you've worked hard, don't be nervous, I'm not a man-eating tiger, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Qin Feng made a little joke. When he was in Chang'an, he vaguely felt the young man's adoring eyes, and he also knew that he was an "idol" in some people's hearts. He was not weak among the young soldiers for no reason. The prestige of the scouts, seeing that some fans met the excitement and tension of the idol, they eased the tension with jokes.

The scout's psychological quality and self-control ability are much stronger than ordinary soldiers. This person recovered in a moment. He took a deep breath and saluted: "The last general has seen the general. General Su, General Luo, General Cheng, General Yuchi , General Xue, and General Fang." He saluted Qin Feng, Su Dingfang, Luo Tong, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baoqing, and Fang Yiai one by one in order of position.

"There is no need to be polite at this time. Let's talk about it, what did you find out this time? Is there any change in the Wumeng tribe? Besides, are there other troops nearby?" Qin Feng was full of air when he spoke. But he looked a little tired.This time the game was relatively big, and the current situation was very delicate, even Qin Feng became sentimental and couldn't sleep.

The scout cupped his hands and said, "Returning to the general, the last general has indeed found the whereabouts of the Turks. But it is not from the Wumeng tribe, but the army of Jieli Khan. They are in the northeast of our army, more than a hundred miles away. It is also a hundred miles away from the Wumeng tribe. They are currently camping and resting. The layout of their barracks and the direction of their soldiers are our army. At the same time, they are scouting and cavalry. The scouts have also been cleaned up, and the opponent's purpose is obvious, which is to hide their whereabouts and prepare to reap the benefits of fishermen."

"As expected!" Qin Feng had this thought in his mind, and asked again: "How many soldiers are there in total?"

"Forty thousand elite men."

"How sure?"

The scouts said calmly: "The eight scouts of the other side forced a confession, and the number of answers is the same, so the last general dares to guarantee that the number of the other party will not be wrong."

Su Dingfang, Luo Tong, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baoqing, Fang Yiai and other six people gasped and exhaled.

They were not because of this number, their surprise came from Qin Feng's intuition.

Last night, Qin Feng called them over and expressed his doubts.Because there is no definite evidence, doubt is always doubt.In fact, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baoqing, and Fang Yiai who heard the news thought that Qin Feng had an extra Li Chengqian this time and were overly careful.Now hearing that the Turks are really coming, everyone is not calm.For Qin Feng, they all gave strange and warm eyes.
