Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

After hearing this, Li Daozong felt that what Li Chengqian said was very reasonable. He thought to himself: "Although the crown prince is young, this trick is really vicious. At this moment, Wang Dingshan's mood must be worse than eating cakes."

At the same time, he was thankful that he was not the one who opposed Li Chengqian. Thinking about the consequences of Li Chengqian's opponents, he couldn't help shivering.

Sitting on the futon, Li Shimin remained silent. Although his face was still gloomy, his heart was filled with joy, "It seems that this kid not only knows how to use force to solve problems, but he also has a certain charm about himself."

He thought about it for a long time, and this is indeed the truth. Rather than destroying the Wang family now, it is better to let them play the last remaining heat, so as to make up for the anger he has suffered in recent years.

"Yeah." Although Li Shimin was beautiful in his heart, he still had that stinky look on his face, "I'm a little tired. Although I don't quite agree, since I've left the matter to you, it's inconvenient for me to ask more questions."

Immediately after...

He turned to look at the old eunuch Chen Lin, "Get up and go back to the palace."

Li Chengqian and Li Daozong got up one after another.

"My son respectfully sends the father to the emperor."

"Wei Chen respectfully sends His Majesty."

Li Chengqian knew about Li Shimin's face for a long time, so he didn't bother to talk to him.

But Li Daozong saw Li Shimin's shameless appearance for the first time, and thought to himself: "Your Majesty, why do you insist on pretending to be Bobby? Don't you feel embarrassed..."

Li Shimin was sent away.

Li Daozong returned to Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, what shall we do next?"

"Next?" Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Next, I will go back to sleep. Didn't I already tell you what to do? I will leave Luo Tong to you, and leave five hundred white-robed soldiers. Just ask Zheng Yingjie to cooperate with you."

Li Daozong was very happy when he heard the words. Li Chengqian gave him the opportunity to make meritorious service. The road has been paved, and this achievement is at hand.

He saluted and said: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

After explaining the matter clearly, Li Chengqian went back to the Prince's Courtyard. Although the Ministry of Punishment was good, the place he lived in was definitely not as comfortable as the Prince's Courtyard. After all, there was not even a maid to warm the bed in this place.

late at night……

The moon and stars are sparse, and everything is silent.

On the outskirts of Chang'an City.

Wang Dingshan was sitting in a carriage, galloping on the way back to Taiyuan.

After arranging the affairs of the Wang family in Chang'an City today, he left first. He couldn't stay in Chang'an City for a moment.

Not long after the convoy had gone, there was chaos outside.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Protect the patriarch!"

moment……

The sound of swords clashing came from outside, Wang Dingshan sat calmly in the carriage, drinking tea, unmoved.

Soon...

The sound of galloping horseshoes was heard not far from the convoy.

This team soon joined the battle.

"Quick, protect Patriarch Wang Dingshan! Don't let any of these thieves go."

heard...

Wang Dingshan shook the teacup in his hand.

Someone came to my rescue?impossible?

The men and horses who attacked the convoy outside were originally arranged by Wang Dingshan in advance. This was his last struggle before leaving.

He wanted to put the blame on Li Shimin in order to wash away his relationship with Li Chengqian, so that he would have a chance to turn things around when he returned to Taiyuan.

If not, even if he returned to Taiyuan, he would still be a fish that Li Chengqian put on the chopping board, a fish that could be cooked at any time.

But the strange thing is that someone came to rescue him.

Chapter 105 Wang Dingshan is disheartened

Wang Dingshan shouted: "Wang Yi! Wang Yi! What happened outside?"

The words fall...

A young man came in from the outside, "Patriarch, I'm also at a loss. The bandits who were attacking were about to be repelled by us, but just now a group of officers came over and helped us clean up the bandits."

When Wang Dingshan heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he shouted: "Nonsense, where are the bandits here!"

He already had an idea in his mind, but he didn't want to believe it at all.

At the same time, the shouts of killing outside have disappeared, and the world has returned to silence.

A person shouted from outside the carriage: "Patriarch Wang, I am here to escort you under the order of His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is concerned about the Wang family, and he was afraid that someone would plot something wrong along the way. I did not expect that His Royal Highness really hit the mark."

Hearing this, Wang Dingshan's heart turned cold, he hurriedly opened the curtain of the car and looked outside.

The person under the light of the bonfire is the famous leader of the White Robe Army, Su Dingfang.

Since Su Dingfang followed Li Chengqian and did several major events, his reputation has spread all over the country.

Wang Dingshan said in his heart, "It's over, this time it's completely over. Li Chengqian saw through a surprise attack that I carefully planned. This is completely shooting myself in the foot."

Su Dingfang rode to the side of the carriage and said calmly to Wang Dingshan: "Patriarch Wang, His Royal Highness asked me to give you a message. Don't play this kind of self-directed and self-acted tricks in the future. His Highness also said that you must take good care of your body. He will definitely bring someone to visit you in Taiyuan."

After the words fell, Su Dingfang led the army to retreat before Wang Dingshan could react.

Wang Dingshan let the howling north wind blow on his face, which he did not expect.

He really couldn't figure out how Li Chengqian knew about this.

But even if he knew it now, it was too late. Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to clear up the fact that he was siding with the imperial court.

Wang Dingshan put down the curtain of the car disheartened, and said to Wang Yi: "Let's go, let's go back to Taiyuan."

Wang Yi looked at the distraught Wang Dingshan and asked, "Patriarch, are you alright, sir?"

But Wang Dingshan who was sitting in the car ignored him as if he had lost his soul.

Chang'an City...

palace...

Prince's other courtyard.

Su Dingfang rushed in in a hurry, his admiration for Li Chengqian now is like a surging river, endless.

He racked his brains and couldn't figure out how Li Chengqian would have come to this point.

When Su Dingfang saw Li Chengqian, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you are really amazing. A wave of bandits attacked Wang's convoy on the way."

"However, the strength of that wave of bandits is very weak. We only took a quarter of an hour to kill the bandits."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Hehe, Wang Dingshan is ruthless, he must be a ruthless person, only he can come up with this kind of self-inflicted trick."

Su Dingfang frowned when he heard this, "Ruthless man, kill yourself? Your Highness, what do you mean by this? The last general can't understand a word."

Li Chengqian explained: "I mean, Wang Dingshan must not be willing to leave Chang'an City like this. He must find a chance to turn around when he returns to Taiyuan."

"But the news that he broke his promise and stood in line with the imperial court has spread. At least in the past few years, no one will trust them anymore."

"So, Wang Dingshan thought of such a way to shift the responsibility to Chaotang, and he successfully removed his relationship with me."

Su Dingfang heard this, and immediately understood, "This man is not as good as God. The old fox Wang Dingshan finally lifted a rock and smashed his own foot. This time he jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't clean himself up."

As he spoke, he was still gloating over what had happened to Mrs. Wang.

Li Chengqian nodded, and suddenly said: "By the way, I asked you to go to the Ministry of War to approve some military horses. How is the matter going?"

When this matter was mentioned, Su Dingfang's laughter stopped abruptly, and his face darkened instantly.

Li Chengqian continued: "What? What kind of difficulties are you encountering?"

At the beginning, although the soldiers Cheng Yaojin and others selected for Li Chengqian were cavalry, all the horses were detained, and they were all white-robed soldiers who joined as infantry.

There were a lot of things going on at that time, and Li Chengqian didn't care about it, thinking that he would collect a batch of war horses afterwards.

But when he started to prepare, he found that the horses on the market were not qualified for war horses at all, and the trained war horses could not be put into use for a while.

So Li Chengqian asked Su Dingfang to go to the Ministry of War to approve more than 2000 war horses. After all, Su Dingfang was Li Jing's disciple, so he still had some face.

But now it seems that he miscalculated. Looking at Su Dingfang's disheveled face, he knew that Su Dingfang must have failed.

Su Dingfang faltered and said: "His Royal Highness, the last general..."

Li Chengqian said: "Don't hesitate, just say what you have to say, if you can't solve it, I will help you solve it."

Su Dingfang replied: "Master, an old man, did not approve it. He said that there are no rich war horses to provide to us now, and His Highness promised His Majesty at the beginning that you will bear the military expenses of the White Robe Army, so the Ministry of War can't provide us with this war horse." .”

Li Chengqian was not angry when he heard this. After all, what Li Jing said was true, and the war horses in the whole country are not rich now.

However, the land invasion case has been carried out smoothly, and he is no longer needed for the land reform and the comprehensive push of potatoes and peppers.

Li Chengqian planned to take the white-robed army to take a stroll around the Turkic territory in a few days, but the uneven horses restricted his pace.

After all, the Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan of East Turkic had already been killed by him.

More than half of the Turks' 20 troops were killed or injured. This is a good time for him to conquer the East Turks.

At this time, the enemies around Datang were all staring at this fat piece of Datang, waiting for an opportunity to take a bite.

Li Chengqian had to consider this practical issue.

With Jieli's death, the various tribes of the Eastern Turks must fall apart, and Li Chengqian will not give them another chance to stand up.

After the East Turks are settled, there are still many territories in the world waiting for him to conquer.

"Well." Li Chengqian nodded, "Well, then, you go to Wei Guogong again, and tell him that I have a good thing for him, and let him come to the Ministry of Punishment to pick it up tomorrow."

Li Chengqian had already prepared a second plan for Li Jing, and he was determined to win this batch of war horses.

If Li Jing saw the gift he had prepared for him, let alone more than 2000 batches of war horses, even if it was [-] horses, he would have to find a way to get them together.

After hearing this, Su Dingfang was puzzled, but he didn't ask too much, "Did you come to the Prince's Court to pick it up?"

Li Chengqian nodded, "Yes, you tell Duke Wei that I am waiting for him in the Prince's Court."

Su Dingfang replied: "Yes, this subordinate will do it now."

He said, exited the door, and rushed back to Duke Wei's mansion.

Chapter 106 What does the emperor want to bet?

The following afternoon.

The sun was shining brightly, but it was still cold.

Li Jing entered the palace after lunch, with a happy look on his face.

Yesterday, Su Dingfang went to Li Jing's mansion in the middle of the night, saying that the prince had summoned him.

Li Jing was not happy at first, he knew that the crown prince summoned him must be because of the two thousand horses.

But the war horses under the Ministry of War are really not rich, and these more than 2000 war horses are not a trivial matter. Without Li Shimin nodding, how could he dare to allocate them to Li Chengqian.

However, when Su Dingfang came, he never mentioned the matter of the war horse, but only said that His Royal Highness wanted to give him a gift because he thought of his hard work.

Li Jing was very happy when he heard this. Who is Li Chengqian? He is a military strategist, politician, economist, and even a person who is proficient in invention and creation.

Besides, Li Chengqian is generous in his actions and has a free-spirited personality. This gift must be extraordinary.

Li Jing made up his mind that this gift can be accepted, but regarding the matter of the war horse, he has to kill it and refuse to give it. After all, it was ordered by Li Shimin himself.

When Li Jing was about to arrive at the prince's other courtyard, he happened to meet Li Shimin who was walking.

After returning from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Li Shimin was in a good mood, and the haze of the previous two days was swept away.

The land invasion case progressed very smoothly, and the implementation of land reform was also very fast.

The most important thing is that since the Wang family was counted twice by Li Chengqian, the fact that he took refuge in the court has been completely confirmed.

As a result, five surnames, seven surnames, and two surnames took refuge in the imperial court, and one surname was punished by nine clans.

Everyone in the court also tacitly refrained from mentioning this matter, as if this matter had never happened.

Seeing Li Jing with a happy face, Li Shimin stopped him.

Li Jing bowed and said: "My minister, see Your Majesty."
