Chapter 502 The Last Expedition

"He really said that?" When Changsun Wuji entered the palace, Li Er was reviewing the memorial.After hearing his reply, Li Er was taken aback for a moment.

"Chu Gong seems to have accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart, and I have no doubt that he will kill bloody seas when he goes to Longyou."

"Yeah! The sea of ​​blood is overwhelming! You should go back first, this time go to Hebei and bring Dugu Mou with you. Dugu Yanyun's blood is so passionate, no matter what, he has to give his son back the title of Duke. You can't let people say, I am a heartless person."

"No!" Changsun Wuji responded, and walked out of the Tai Chi Hall backwards.

Li Er felt a little headache, the most annoying thing for him now was the lack of people.General Tiance's mansion is the cornerstone, so there seems to be no shortage of manpower in his entrainment.But when it was time to take charge of the empire, he realized how big this stall really was.

Datang has no shortage of talents, but Li Er lacks reliable talents.Finally, I understood why my cousin Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, wanted to open the imperial examination widely.Most of the officials in this era were recommended by powerful people.When drinking water, think of whose bowl is at the source, and whose face you look at.In many cases, they represent the power of various families, rather than national interests, or the interests of the emperor.

Those imperial examination officials who were born as civilians will be much better.With no roots and no feet, he can only hug the emperor's thick leg.It is much easier to use than those recommended by those powerful people.

Two days ago, I found Wen Daya and asked for some students who were about to graduate from the academy.After being flooded in various yamen, it is generally reported that it is very easy to use.These people are sensible, diligent, and the most rare thing is that their knowledge is better than those who were recommended or passed the imperial examination.

The heads of various departments have already started asking Li Er for someone.The students of Lishan Academy are called for roll call, and now there are several such memorials on the imperial book table.

"Erlang! What's the matter?" The eldest grandson came out from behind the curtain, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand.Because of the Hu people's genes, Li Er and his eldest grandson still like to take a sip of this stuff.Especially after Yunhao creatively developed tea bricks, Li Er would have a cup every day.

"It's not Yunhao's business! The imperial court can't send out a single-handed general right now. I don't feel relieved to let people like Sheng Yanshi Qiu Shili go to Longyou. After all, the family is too weak now. There is no other way but to let someone like him go to Longyou." Wuji went to talk to Yunhao. Guess what happened?"

"Doesn't he want to go? That's right. His military exploits have already reached the level of the county magistrate, and he is only 21 years old this year. He is [-] years old this year. If he is mixed with his seniority, he will not be a magistrate. He doesn't want to go to the battlefield again. Killing is also a reasonable thing." Changsun thoughtfully added a grape to the milk tea and served it to Li Er.

"Guanyin maidservant, you guessed wrong this time. What he wants is a promise from me!" Li Er said after taking a sip of milk tea and closing his eyes.

"Promise? Could it be that he wants Duke Jin? It's too soon. He's only 21 years old. It's not a good thing that the court can't be sealed. He should be clear." The eldest grandson was very puzzled.

"He told Wuji that it's okay to let him go to Longyou. But this time, he wants to kill a bloody man. Of course, I think there is nothing wrong with doing so. But those rotten scholars in the court certainly wouldn't say that. Their heads are full of things that are virtuous and benevolent. If Yun Hao does this, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court.

This time, he asked me to endorse him.In other words, no matter what happens, I have to bear it. "Thinking that he would be overwhelmed by the memorial to impeach Yunhao, Li Er's head started to hurt again.

"He doesn't seem like a person who is easy to kill. How could he make such a request?"

"This is to create a problem for me, that is, to tell me. There is a price to pay for using him. If he can cause such a disaster this time, he will cause an even bigger disaster next time. And no matter how he causes trouble, the final I have to bear the blame.

If I really agree, how will Qianqiu History Book rely on me.Jie?Zhou?If the Yan family wears the hat of a tyrant, no matter what I do in my life, I will be infamous forever.This kid's tricks are amazing. "

"My concubine feels that he has always had a tired temperament since he was a child. I heard from Yuan'er and Xin'er that it is winter. Apart from going to the toilet, he can actually stay in the bed all day. These years, for the court and for the great Tang Dong It is really a hard work for him to go west."

"Hey...! Guanyinbi, you are thinking wrong again. This kid is tired, but it is definitely wrong to say that he refused to fight because of tiredness. He is afraid, and he is deliberately fading out of the court.

At the age of 21, he became the Duke of Chu State.Among the generals of the former Women's Army, the prestige is higher than that of Huainan Uncle Wang and Chai Shao.Avalokitesvara, you know.During the Battle of Tongguan, the total number of troops in the Taiyuan Honor School was no more than 8.At that time, the third sister's women's army was almost [-] people.

It can be said that the Women's Army is the main force of our Datang military.The third sister died early, and Uncle Huainan was getting old again.Those generals of the Women's Army would naturally flatter him, the Duke of Chu with the highest title.

So, after Xuanwumen.He will try his best to refuse the title bestowed by me, so he will refuse the official position of Minister of War.This is a friendly, but also a know how to advance and retreat.If the authority in his hands is greater, it will endanger the imperial power.At that time, I will have to make a heavy hand.

My headache is precisely whether he should lead the troops to Longyou this time.He led troops into battle and never lost a battle.If you win, how will I reward you.Could it be that he is really going to be promoted to Duke of the county?He's only 21 years old, and under the seal of no seal, I'm really worried that one day he will expand his ambitions and ruin our friendship for many years. " Li Er rubbed his temples and said in pain.

"Is it true that the imperial court can't send anyone out?" Changsun asked with a frown.

"Currently in Chang'an City, the biggest force is the Jinwu Guard. Left Wuwei, and Right Weiwei! The Jinwu Guard can't easily move to maintain the law and order of Chang'an City. The Right Weiwei under Jingde's command is responsible for defending Chang'an City. The only thing that can be mobilized now is Zuo Wuwei. However, neither Master Sheng Yan nor Qiu Shili are alone.

I went to see Shubao yesterday, a fierce general who is like the wind in the evening.Now he is wearing furs, and there must be a brazier in the house on such a day.The imperial physician in the palace said that it was due to excessive bloodshed in battles in the past.It leads to the loss of qi and blood in the body, and it cannot be improved simply by nourishing it.

Longyou is making a lot of noise now, if people from Youliang become popular, they will collude with the Turkic people again.It will become a serious problem in the future, and now that the Turks have just evacuated, it is the best time to exterminate them.If you wait for the Hebei front to win and transfer a general from Hebei, that will delay the opportunity for combat.

Why……!There is no other way, it must be Yunhao!I hope this is his last expedition, and I also hope that he will not have any other thoughts. Li Er drank the milk tea in his cup, sighed and made up his mind.

The eldest grandson glanced at Li Er and shook his head helplessly.He picked up the empty tea bowl and retreated back into the curtain.

Yunhao doesn't like to enter Taiji Palace very much now, if possible, he doesn't even want to enter Chang'an City.As long as he enters the prosperous capital of the Tang Dynasty, Yunhao can smell all kinds of conspiracies.

I can't figure out why the gate of the palace can't be filled with oil.Every time it is turned on, it will make a "cracking" sound. Nice?
The Taiji Palace in autumn is very bleak, as soon as the palace gate is opened, there is a whirlwind that brings dust inside.The eunuch who came to welcome Yunhao became a native in an instant.

All the servants in Taiji Palace have changed, at least none of the servants Yun Hao knew before disappeared.The weather in early winter was bright and sunny, but candles still had to be lit in the deep Tai Chi Hall.Li Er sat in the dark palace room, his eyes were illuminated by the giant butter candle, like two balls of will-o'-the-wisp.The entire palace was gloomy, and it was eerily quiet.This scene is enough for a horror movie.

"Chen Yunhao, I have met Your Majesty!" Yunhao bowed deeply to Li Er.This was Li Er's formal summons, so Yun Hao was meticulous in his official uniform.It's just an overly young face, which is very incongruous with the purple robe and golden belt.

"Excuse me! I've thought about it, but you still have to go to Longyou. Master Sheng Yan will be your lieutenant general. Qiu Shili will be responsible for the supply of food and fodder, and all 3000 members of Zuo Wuwei will be your subordinates. How about it?"

Li Er really thinks highly of himself, Changle Wang Youliang already has more than 3000 soldiers.In addition to the Qiang people who accompanied the rebellion, there were also the participation of the nine surnames of Zhaowu.Zuo Wuwei has [-] people, facing at least [-] powerful enemies who have been entrenched in the northwest for a long time.

"Mr. Zhao said the minister's request?" For this kind of thing, Changsun Wuji promises that you just treat him as a fart.It is more reliable to make a firm foothold with Li Er. Without Li Er's promise, Yun Hao would not go to Longyou even if he was killed.He knew that as long as he went to the northwest, Rentu's reputation would be confirmed.

"Sure! As long as you pacify the northwest, I will not care about your killing. I will block all the voices in the court for you."

"I don't have any other requests. I will go to war in seven days." Yun Hao gave a deep salute, then stepped back and walked out.

It's time to go out to fight again. At this time, it is much more important to go home and prepare for the battle than to talk to Li Er here.

There is a lot of work to be done, including packing away a month's worth of gunpowder.He also needs to carry those troublesome kerosene. In fact, Yunhao doesn't like to use kerosene at all now.The most important reason is that this thing is too difficult to transport.

But there is no way, work overtime to prepare.The gunpowder only weighed more than 1000 catties. Fortunately, there was a lot of kerosene, which made Yun Hao feel a little relieved.

"Bring all the fuel you can, this time we'll have a tough fight to fight."

"Master! Are we really going to the northwest?"

"Yes! This is likely to be the last time this commander will lead his troops out."
