Don't be a prince

It's ridiculous to say that even hunting, each family dare not call too many generals.

If the refugees are gathered together and the national strength is improved, it will not take too long for Datang to have the confidence to launch a war abroad.At that time, the military will be able to change its usual sluggish attitude.

Seeing that Li Jing agreed to join the memorial, Li Chengqian immediately became more confident: "Since that's the case, I will draft the memorial after the hunting is over and I return to the East Palace."

Pointing to the thin child who was poking his head out to look at people in the corner, Niu Jinda sighed, "Your Highness, why don't we give the hunting harvest to this stockade? It's all wild game. Let's transport it back just to enjoy a momentary appetite."

Chapter 126

When Niu Jinda spoke, of course Li Chengqian had to agree.

There was nothing to entertain people in the cottage, so after drinking a glass of warm water and eating a small piece of jerky, everyone bid farewell to Liu Yang.

Sending everyone away personally, when he walked out of the village gate and saw the army not far away, Liu Yang was only nervous for a moment, and then he was relieved.

The defense of the stockade can deal with wild animals, but it is vulnerable to this fortified army.

Since people obviously didn't mean to embarrass them, they didn't need to be overly wary.

After leaving the camp, he commanded the team to rest on the spot, and after eating some dry food, Li Chengqian gave the order to continue hunting.

The hunting in autumn was a bit cruel, because just after midsummer, many wild animals had just bred, and many small animals died tragically under arrows and random knives.

But there is no way not to be cruel. At this time, the most indispensable thing in the mountains is this thing. There are no killers. When they grow up, they will expand their territories, and they will still go out of the mountains and invade the villages of the people.

In the villages of later generations, it is a new thing for a child to be bitten by a dog, but now in the countryside near the mountains, there will be two unlucky children being dragged into the mountains by tigers every year for a tooth festival.

Humans are the scariest creatures on this planet.But at the same time, it is also one of the weakest creatures.

Although Niu Jianhu has a prosthetic foot, he can run no slower than others.

After shooting a half-grown tiger before Chang Sun Chong, Niu Jianhu laughed and carried the tiger to Li Chengqian himself, saying, "His Royal Highness, it's almost autumn, this tiger's skin is not too big or too small. , it happened to be sewn onto Taishi Li's wheelchair. As for the tiger whip, I will leave it to my father."

As soon as the words fell, Niu Jianhu was kicked aside with a big foot.

Although Lao Niu was blushing, he was too embarrassed to say anything.

Since Niu Jianhu returned to normal, he stopped doing abstinence.A month ago, Mrs. Niu had a happy pulse.

Regardless of whether the second child is a boy or a girl, at least, the non-irritating bull will die.

Touching the saber at his waist, Li Chengqian said depressedly: "In the army, watching you hunt, but not being able to participate in it, is really depressing."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Jing and asked, "Wei Gong, can you see if there is any prey for me to try?"

Li Jing was embarrassed to roll his eyes directly, so he could only cup his hands and say, "Your Highness, when hunting, bows and arrows are the main force, and hand-to-hand combat is second. You can't open the bow yet, and the most you can do is wait for the soldiers to catch the prey alive before you use the sword. But this way, You’re not interested anymore? You’d better be the commander honestly. Along the way, I’ve seen that you have a lot of rules in how you allocate and dispatch the team, and that’s what you should care about.”

Niu Jinda nodded in agreement.

Patting the hilt of his sword, Li Chengqian sighed and ordered the team to move on.

With the identity of the prince, not to mention hunting, I am afraid that these people will not even let him out of the army.

It seems that the order of the imperial court is for the prince to lead all the troops out to hunt wild animals.

In fact, the two thousand soldiers included five hundred imperial guards and generals of each family, and the biggest task was to protect him, the crown prince.Fastest update../ ../

If you can't make a shot, you can't make a shot. It is still possible to live an eye addiction under protection.

This time the team did not simply move forward, but from the outside to the inside, cleaning up the wild beasts around the Qinling Mountains in a circular manner.

People like tigers and bears have seen the terror of these two-legged creatures in early spring, and few of them came to die.And after two consecutive expulsions within a year, the smart ones will never approach this area again.

Wild boars belonged to the type with no brains, some were majestic, relying on their own physical strength, they even had the confidence to attack the army.

However, the army of more than 2000 people always accepts all orders for such brave people.

As the sun was setting, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Chengqian ordered the withdrawal of troops.

The crown prince's current position is between the refugee cottage and Lantian County. Although he can also go to Lantian County to temporarily station, but with these prey, staying in the refugee cottage is a good choice.

Carrying the harvest of half a day, everyone came to the refugee's cottage again.

Liu Yang opened the gate of the camp very generously, without any intention of being wary.

"Old man, it's useless for us soldiers to keep these meat. Except for the valuable fur, the rest of the meat will be given to you."

Niu Jinda's words completely ignited the silent village.

The young and strong women all rushed out happily, carrying wild boars, tigers and wolves.

These are rare prey on weekdays. With an army of 2000 people, the hunting income in half a day is still considerable.

If these meats are all smoked and will not go bad before the cold weather, the villagers may have a long-lost winter of abundance.

Li Chengqian declined Liu Yang's invitation to enter the village and ordered the army to camp outside the village.

The logistics brigade led by Iron Hammer basically did not participate in the battle. They have been carrying the parts of the tent on such a long mountain road.

Under the command of Iron Hammer, it didn't take long for a camp to be erected.

Although the tent is thin and the people are still crowded, there is at least a place to hide.

Dinner is barbecue and dry food.

The villagers who got a lot of prey also collected a batch of broomcorn millet and gave it to the army.

Here is a deep mountain, it is not easy to grow some broomcorns.For Zhaizi, these millets are already the best present they can offer.

The cooked millet rice was only a small bowl for each person.

Li Jing and Niu Jinda ate without any hesitation, while Yu Tai and the others ate with relish.Only children like Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian couldn't swallow it at all.Millet is millet. It’s okay to steam rice cakes, and it’s not something ordinary people can eat when it’s made into meals.

Seeing that Niu Jianhu also wanted to pour out the rice in the bowl, Niu Jinda said angrily: "You throw it to me! Is the old man so accommodating to you that I can't even eat rice? Do you know that our family didn't even You can’t even afford millet. The wild vegetables on the mountain have been dug up, and your grandmother collected the leaves for the pot, so don’t we have to eat them too?”

Li Jing stared at Li Dejian and said: "Mizi is resistant to drought and has a high yield, so it is one of the regular rations for all armies. When you march and fight in the future, do you want to carry ordinary soldiers behind your back and start a small stove by yourself? Do you still have the spirit of the army? Eat! Don't waste a single grain of rice!"

Although the two generals were just reprimanding their sons, the first-class sons still stiffened their voices and ate all the millet in their rice bowls.

Li Chengqian was no exception, but it was not because of what the two generals said, but because he remembered the "granary" in the cottage.

The so-called "granary" does not store rice millet, but some grass seeds such as dogtail grass.

Who would have thought that this stuff could also be used to eat?

But in the deep mountains that are not suitable for farming, they can only live by eating this.

Compared with dog tail grass seeds and the like, broomcorn millet is not so easy to swallow.

After eating a small bowl of broomcorn millet, all the sons-in-law were thoughtful.

Whether they thought of the difficulty of marching or the difficulties of refugees, at least they had gained something at this time.

Putting down the bowl, Li Chengqian said to Niu Jinda beside him: "Mr. Niu, the crown prince can lead the hunt even if Yu Tai is alone. Why don't you two go back with me tomorrow, how about explaining about the refugees?"

Niu Jinda rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "I never thought that my old cow would have a day to give speeches in addition to Xie En's notes. If the law can really be amended and the speed of refugees leaving the mountains to become naturalized can be speeded up, it will be a great thing with infinite merit. "

While roasting a goat leg, Li Jing said, "Prince, don't you think this matter should not be rushed? Even if you are a prince, openly opposing the law like this will have a bad influence in the court. According to the old man , it’s better to gather a group of courtiers who have the same intention first, and then play together. You should understand the truth that people speak lightly!”

Li Chengqian and Niu Jinda looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

Although Li Jing's art of war is unparalleled in the world, his practice is too rigorous.

As everyone knows, sometimes, the more anxious things are, the more complicated they will become.

Uniting a group of like-minded ministers can indeed increase the success rate.But correspondingly, there are also risks.

What is the crown prince doing with a group of ministers to write a letter to create an unrivaled limelight in the court?It's almost to the point of forcing the palace.The emperor's father may feel pity, but he will never accept threats.

Perhaps, in this person's heart, only people or things that he can play with with one hand can reassure him.

The greater the strength, the greater the rebound. If the suggestions of three or two people are expressed, it is good to have a provisional secondment of agreement.If you can't pass it, it's fine, and if you pass it, everyone will be happy.The worst case is because this matter is divided into two distinct forces. At that time, it is really going to provoke a war in the court.

Seeing the strange faces of the crown prince and Niu Jinda, Li Jing took a bite of the mutton, thought for a while, and got out from the horns.

Embarrassed arched hands, no more words.

Cautiousness is his strength, but also his weakness.This point, Li Jing is very self-aware.

The nights in the mountains are much cooler than those in Chang'an. When the autumn tigers in Chang'an City were still raging, there was already a hint of autumn here.

Huddled in the pile of fur in the tent, Li Chengqian had mixed feelings.

The season in mid-August is still like this, which shows how sad the people here are during the cold winter.

Although there was no heating in the East Palace, it was just a fire dragon that made him cry, and it was so cold in the deep mountains, let alone what it would be like.

Recalling the stories my grandma told about freezing to death when I was a child, and looking at the cottage now, I felt powerless for a while.

Poverty is the heaviest original sin entangled in the land of China.As the cornerstone of the vast empire in this land, the hard-working people should not experience hunger and cold because of poverty.

Perhaps the development of society will lead to changes in people's hearts and dilute the original simplicity, but at least...

Thinking wildly, Li Chengqian fell into a deep sleep.

Once the habit of getting up on time is formed, the accuracy of the biological clock can sometimes challenge the alarm clock.

After getting dressed and going out, facing the big tree near the camp, Li Chengqian started training.

After practicing swords for a long time, although it is not enough to command the sword like an arm, at least the heavy iron sword can be swung freely.

A little rising sunlight shone on the trunk, Li Chengqian slashed at the light spot, and the long sword left a straight mark on the bark.

With another poke, the tip of the sword was just inserted into the center of the light spot.

There were several slashes, downward chops, and upward thrusts. No matter how the sword marks appeared, they always centered on the spot of light, and none of them escaped.

clap clap clap!

There was a burst of high-fives, and Li Chengqian looked around, only to see Niu Jinda appearing behind him in only shorts and shorts.

Only after taking off his clothes can he see clearly how solid the muscles of the old cow are.

Seeing Lao Niu beckoning, Li Chengqian put down his long sword, clenched his fist, and punched Niu Jinda with a straight punch.

Facing the prince's punch, Niu Jinda calmed down, squatted down slightly, and resisted the blow with his belly.

Withdrawing his fist, he flicked it twice quickly.

The punch just now was indeed on point, but when Lao Niu squatted down, his abdominal muscles were all mobilized by him at the same time, stretched as hard as granite.

Like granite may be a bit exaggerated, but this punch really hurts the enemy instead of harming itself.

Patting his belly, Niu Jinda smiled: "It's not bad, with some strength. Your Highness, tell me how you felt just now?"

Pointing at the old cow's belly, Li Chengqian said: "Just now, you should have stretched your muscles. The belly is a very fragile place, but you calmed down and retracted your muscles, and forcibly withstood the force of this punch."

Niu Jinda nodded: "That's right, that's how it is. There are many weak points in the human body that can be fatally hit by a single blow, or can't be moved. The abdomen is also one. If two adult men fight each other, one of them will get a real punch. Hey, unless you have great perseverance, you won't be able to withstand this severe pain at all.

Therefore, when encountering such a situation, if you can hide, you must hide; if you cannot hide, you must be prepared to fight.People are hurt differently when they are unprepared and when they are ready...."

Listening carefully to Lao Niu's explanation, Li Chengqian did not dare to miss a single word.This is the experience of a veteran who really fought on the battlefield. Compared with the cold medical data, this experience is more vivid.

After tossing for half an hour and exhausting my energy for a short period of time, I prepared to return to Chang'an.

There is no need for the prince's personal guards, five hundred imperial guards, plus Li and Niu's family generals, even if they encounter one or two thousand enemies, as long as they are not elite, self-protection is at least not a problem.

After parting ways with the crown prince, Li Chengqian was surrounded by Chang Sun Chong and others.

Although they are legitimate sons, all of them are afraid of Chongwen Museum without exception. The teenagers who did not cry out for training in the barracks immediately complained when they heard that Yu Shinan was the owner of Chongwen Museum.

After finally getting rid of this group of study-weary teenagers, Li Jing came over again.

"Your Highness, how are you going to write a letter? Do you want to write a letter of advice?"

Li Chengqian shook his head: "It's old man Wei's job to offer advice and advice, we can't use the format of advice to make trouble. I'm going to write a treatise, "The Theory of Influencing a Rich Country", what do you think?"

Chapter 127 How to make Wei Zheng a teammate

""The Theory of Prospering the Nation"? The name is not very good. I wonder if the crown prince is going to write it himself, or let Taishi Li write it?"

In one sentence, you can hear Li Jing's intention to drag Li Gang into the water.

Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head: "Of course I wrote it myself. Master Li is sick in bed now, how can I let him write it?"

Don't even think about it, although the old man is the prince and grand teacher now, but the prince and grand teacher is not a position above the court. He is over 80 years old, no matter what happens in the court, he can't easily get involved .Mobile terminal../

Seeing that the crown prince insisted not to bring Li Gang together, Li Jing shut up.

The team's route back to Chang'an is different from the route into the mountain.
