The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 338
Chapter 338
In normal times, Li Er would never be so timid and irritable, but now is the time of trouble.

Every time he faced Bai Jingyi, Li Er felt like he was walking on thin ice.

Although Bai Jingyi vowed that he would not seize his throne.

But from Li Er's point of view, it was clearly Bai Jingyi's intention to relax his vigilance.

Moreover, Bai Jingyi has the support of the aristocratic family above the court, and there are many diehard veterans of the country's princes!
Now he can only pin his hopes on the prince, as long as he can control the military power of the Beiliang army.

At that time, you can control all the situation yourself.

Li Er has been thinking about how to deal with Bai Jingyi all day long, if there are still ministers waiting for an opportunity to make trouble, how should he deal with it?

A thin layer of sweat rose on the foreheads of Zhang Liang and the veterans present.

They fought the enemy bravely on the battlefield in exchange for their current high positions, and now the Holy One is not joking at all.

If they are not careful, they may really be cut off from their official positions.

At the least, he will be dismissed from the title, and at the worst, he will be exiled directly.

At this time, they felt extremely regretful. Originally, they wanted to follow Duke Xun Zhang Liang and frame Bai Jingyi while gaining benefits for their own lieutenants.

Never expected that it would be like this today.

Immediately, Zhang Liang had no choice but to stand up and bowed to Li Er and said, "My Majesty! There are often battle reports from the Liaodong border."

"I can often see Goguryeo teams wandering around the border of my Tang Dynasty!"

"If the Holy Majesty doesn't believe it, all the great masters of the Shandong gentry can testify!"

Hearing Zhang Liang's explanation, most of the anger in Li Er's heart dissipated immediately.

After all, compared to Zhang Liang and others, he was even less willing to meet those stubborn senior officials of the Shandong gentry.

Bai Jingyi smiled lightly and said, "Heh! Since the environment on the Liaodong border is so harsh!"

"As a first-rank officer, this general should give you the leather armor needed by the Northern Liang Army!"

Immediately, Bai Jingyi stood up and bowed to Li Er and said, "I report to you, Your Majesty! I beseech you, Your Majesty, to give all the leather armor sent to the Northern Liang Army by the imperial court to all generals!"

"Sigh~~"

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials present couldn't help but gasped.

They originally thought that Bai Jingyi would not let go of this matter, and would even attack Zhang Liang.

However, Bai Jingyi begged the Holy Admiral to donate the leather armor to Zhang Liang and others.

What is Bai Jingyi's plan?Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to buy Zhang Liang?

But this is simply impossible...

Li Er was also very puzzled, he didn't understand why Bai Jingyi did this?

At the same time, he even thought in his heart: "Compared to Goguryeo, the Turkic threat is greater to Datang!"

"After all, the Eastern and Western Turks may join forces at any moment, and once again sweep towards our Great Tang!"

"And the bodies of the two Turkic Khans are still kneeling in the Liangzhou ancestral hall!"

"This is simply the hatred of the country and the family. How can the Turkic people let it go?"

"I'm afraid that once the New Year is over and the cold winter gradually recedes, it will be the day when the Turkic army will make a comeback again!"

When thinking of this, Li Er said directly: "It's winter now! Although there are constant wars on the border, there will never be a war!"

"If all the leather armors are given to the generals, how will the Beiliang Army train in this cold winter!?"

"How can we resist the invasion of the Turkic army when the spring is warm next year?"

Bai Jingyi said nonchalantly, "Since I led the army, I defeated the Turkic coalition twice!"

"The Turkic barbarians retreated more than a hundred miles! On the huge grassland, there are almost no Turkic barbarians!"

"Obviously because they are afraid of my Great Tang Tianwei, they will definitely not dare to attack again!"

"So this leather armor is completely dispensable for my Beiliang Army!"

Hearing this, Li Er was silent, after all he wanted to give it, but Bai Jingyi didn't want it.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Liang dared not ask for these leather armors.

Cheng Yaojin, on the other hand, stood up with a strange smile and shouted in a broken voice: "Quack! Since you don't want this leather armor! Then my Zuowuwei army will accept it!"

"Because the soldiers in our army have no leather armor, they can only rest and go home in this severe winter!"

"When it is called again in the coming year, I'm afraid its combat power will be greatly reduced!"

Li Er glared at Cheng Yaojin, and then said, "The Beiliang army is our elite soldier of the Tang Dynasty!"

"If you slack off your drills, wouldn't it be self-destruction! How can we face the invasion of the Turkic army!?"

The reason for saying this is just to stabilize Bai Jingyi.

It is absolutely impossible to let him see that he is on guard.

But Bai Jingyi said indifferently: "Our Beiliang army has its own way to deal with the cold winter!"

"These leather armors are unbearably heavy, and if they are assigned to my Beiliang army, they will be a burden!"

"So even if the Holy Majesty bestows these leather armors on my soldiers in Liangzhou, they are nothing more than dusty waste!"

When he heard this, Li Er's eyes lit up.

After all, when he visited Liangzhou in person, he saw the magic of the kang.

And after returning, all the craftsmen of the palace were summoned, but it was difficult to make the heated kang in Liangzhou.

He was not willing to open his mouth to explain this matter to Bai Jingyi at all...

All these things made Li Er believe that Bai Jingyi really has a way to deal with the cold winter.

He even looked forward to it, Bai Jingyi said that the leather armor was a bit bulky, so is it lighter for him to deal with the method of cold winter?
Immediately, Li Er couldn't help but ask: "I don't know if Bai Aiqing has a good plan to deal with the severe cold!?"

"Except for the soldiers of the Northern Liang Army, can the people of my Tang Dynasty enjoy this method together!?"

"After all, whenever winter comes, many people in my Tang Dynasty will freeze to death in the wilderness!"

"Every time I think about this, my heart aches extremely!"

After hearing these words, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty fell silent.

Because this matter is a big problem facing Datang, and it is also a problem that cannot be solved.

After all, you can add clothes when it’s cold, and you can drink soup and medicine when you’re sick, but it’s hard to save people when they’re poor...

The reason why it was difficult for the people of the Tang Dynasty to survive the severe cold was simply because they were too poor.

I can't afford a fur coat, let alone dry firewood for heating, and even food is a problem.

The people in Chang'an City can barely get by, and the people in other states and counties, if it wasn't for the government's relief.

I'm afraid it would be difficult to survive until the deep winter, so I was starved to death at home...

Although Li Er also knew that Bai Jingyi's method might not be able to save the people of the entire Tang Dynasty, but for some reason, he always felt in his heart that Bai Jingyi really had a way to make the people of the entire Tang Dynasty survive the cold winter...
