Chapter 42 Set off to grab food!
Chapter 42 Set off to grab food!
Three months later, the court uploaded a report back.

"Your Majesty, the Western Turks have repeatedly invaded our Lingzhou, Lanzhou, Shaozhou and other places today. I hope Your Majesty will rule!"

In the Hall of Liangyi, a soldier in blood-stained armor knelt on the main hall and said loudly.

"How unreasonable!" Li Shimin was furious: "This Western Turk is really rampant!" Li Shimin said, looking at his highness and ministers: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think you should send troops to fight!"

Under the hall, Cheng Yaojin came out and said loudly.

Li Shimin nodded, Cheng Yaojin never let him down in this respect.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, an old minister came out to speak.

"I have just finished a few battles, but do I still have enough food and pay to support the current campaign?"

Officials from the Household Department came out at the right time, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Yangtze River flooded last month. At the beginning of this month, many state capitals in Jiangnan Road and Huainan Road were severely affected by the Yangtze River flood. The Household Department and the Household Department really have no extra money!"

"Your Majesty and your lords, would you like to listen to me?"

Just as Li Shimin was frowning for this reason, Chen Qiao came out.

"Chen Qing, but it's okay to say."

"As far as I know, the Cui family of Boling, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the Wang family of Taiyuan, these four families have been operating for hundreds of years and have not collapsed. They must have rich family resources. Not to mention one battle, it is ten or two Ten games is probably affordable."

As soon as Chen Qiao's words fell, there was an uproar among the officials. Could it be that the four families of Cui Lu and King Zheng were collected by you just by asking for salary?
"General Chen probably doesn't know much about these four big families," said the old official just now: "These four big families have continued from ancient times to the present and have been prosperous. In my Tang Dynasty, everyone knows everyone. No matter how the imperial power changes, they will always stand firm, and what they rely on is not just money!"

Chen Qiao shrugged: "So what? Could it be that they can't even follow His Majesty's will?"

"Follow it on the surface, but obey it in the dark, Chen Qing, do you have other ways?"

Speaking of these four big families, Li Shimin was also very troubled, because they were connected with each other and had a wide range of influence. Sometimes what the heads of the four big families said had more influence than the emperor.

Should it be said that it really lives up to its reputation?
Seeing the displeasure in Li Shimin's eyes, Chen Qiao rolled his eyes, and then said, "In this case, we have to collect their wages and food even more. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, how can we put our family's safety at risk?"

Who doesn't want to collect payment from these four big families!All the ministers were full of resentment, but in the past they repeatedly hit the wall. The ration was conscripted, but it was mixed with sand and gravel, so it could not be used as military ration at all!
Seeing the resentment on the faces of all the courtiers, Chen Qiao said: "Even so, then I will lead the Black Dragon Army to go there myself. I will see, which of them dares to defy the Black Dragon Army in front of the Black Dragon Army!"

"That's the case!" Hearing what Chen Qiao said, Li Shimin's spirit was shaken, "Chen Qing led the Black Dragon Army to collect the salary!"

"Yes!"

Since the collection is loud, there is no need for the entire Black Dragon Lord to go, and there are many places to go, and there are too many people, which will make it inconvenient to move.

"Wu Ye, gather 5000 people, although they will go to Beijing to collect food!"

Back at the camp, Chen Qiao immediately called Wu Ye to give some instructions.

"My lord, Your Majesty agrees to go out?"

Chen Qiao raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty said it himself, let him lead the Black Dragon Army to collect food from the four major families."

Wu Ye's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked out of Chen Qiao's residence to gather his staff.

Before leaving, Chen Qiao had time to go back to the mansion. Li Lizhi in the mansion was talking to Princess Yuzhang who came to visit her. Princess Yuzhang, who is only seven or eight years old, has already seen a beautiful portrait for the first time. When she grows up, she will She will definitely become a beauty no less than Li Lizhi.

"Hello, Princess Yuzhang."

"Hello, brother-in-law!"

The young Yuzhang is much more lively than Li Lizhi.

"Qiao Lang, why are you back?"

For Chen Qiao's return so early, Li Lizhi was both happy and puzzled.

Chen Qiao stopped Li Lizhi from kissing the corner of the other's lips, and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to collect food from the four major families. I am afraid it will take a long time to go. If you are bored staying in the mansion, you can go back to the palace to live there." some time."

When Li Lizhi heard that Chen Qiao was leaving, she couldn't help feeling disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Where is Qiao Lang talking? Now that I'm married as a wife, there is absolutely no reason for my husband to go back to my mother's house when I go out."

In the past few months, Li Lizhi has become more and more mature, and there is always an aura about her that makes Chen Qiao dream about.

"Qiao Lang..." Li Lizhi looked at Chen Qiao who was about to leave, and called out.

"What's the matter?" Chen Qiao turned and looked at his wife.

"It's okay, you go to be more careful."

In the end, Li Lizhi shook her head and said nothing.

Seeing Li Lizhi's gentle smile, Chen Qiao turned around and left without thinking too much.

"Why didn't my sister tell my brother-in-law that you were pregnant?"

Yuzhang blinked and looked at Li Lizhi suspiciously.

Li Lizhi lowered her head, gently covered her lower abdomen with her hands, and blocked a soft smile from her mouth.

"He's going out to do errands. If he knows that I'm pregnant, he might be distracted." Li Lizhi raised her head to look in the direction where Chen Qiao left, "I'll tell him when he comes back."

Although Yuzhang was still puzzled, he just nodded ignorantly and didn't say anything else.

In the barracks, during the time when Chen Qiao returned home, Wu Ye had already assembled his staff.He saw Chen Qiao coming back riding a black tiger from a distance, and rushed to meet him.

"My lord, the [-] Black Dragon Army has been mobilized and is ready to go at any time."

Chen Qiao nodded, and then asked, "Has Shi Lintong returned from Tubo?"

"Shi Lintong came back years ago, will your lord take him with him?"

"Ding Shen has been away for a long time, and I haven't found anyone suitable to lead the Qianji Battalion. I want to let Shi Lintong try, so this time I plan to let him go out to see if he can take on this important task."

Hearing this, Wu Ye agreed very much, although he has been taking care of the Qianji Camp, but now that the expedition is imminent, he is afraid that he has more energy than he wants.

"This subordinate will ask him to come and meet the Lord."

After a while, Wu Ye walked over with Shi Lintong who was obviously much darker.

"How is your stay in Tubo?"

After Shi Lintong passed the salute, Chen Qiao asked.

"It's good to go back to the general, but the brothers are used to being free and loose in Tubo. When His Majesty sent someone to take over, some brothers didn't want to come back."

Chen Qiao smiled when he heard this.

"This time I'm going to collect food from the four major families, and I plan to take you there with me."

"Thank you General for your appreciation!"

Shi Lintong was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank him.

"Get up, get ready, we'll leave in a quarter of an hour."

"Yes!"

"In the past few months, under the training of General Li, the Black Dragon Army seems to have been reborn."

After Shi Lintong left, Wu Ye said to Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao looked at the [-] black dragon troops lined up not far away, and at Li Jing and Qin Qiong who were talking to the rest of the black dragon troops in the distance, and couldn't help but smile.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Qiao turned over and rode on the back of the tiger.After him, Wu Ye and Shi Lintong also got on the horse.Five thousand black dragon soldiers lined up behind them.

"General Chen wants to be careful when going here."

Li Jing, who still doesn't know the secrets of the Black Dragon Army, can't help worrying. In his opinion, asking for food from the four major families is nothing more than plucking the hair off a tiger's head.

Speaking of this, Li Jing glanced at Heihu again, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Perhaps for Chen Qiao, plucking the hair from the tiger's head was a breeze.

"General Li, Second Brother Qin," Chen Qiao said to the two people standing beside him, "I will entrust you two to take care of the Black Dragon Army during this time."
