God-level Governor of the Tang Dynasty

He decided not to bring any family members. It is better to die alone than to die with the whole family.

The three juniors couldn't help but roll their eyes. It's too unreliable when this uncle is thinking.

"Don't worry, you don't have to do anything there, just stare at Wang Xiu with peace of mind, and just report to Chang'an if you have something to do." Li Daozong urged.

As an old man who has been in court for so many years, he naturally knows Li Shimin's deep meaning.

The governor of Jiaozhou is actually a decoration, after all, the governor's mansion is in Songping, what is the use of the governor of Jiaozhou, that is a decoration.

Besides, it was just for the sake of the governor of Jiaozhou, and it was absolutely impossible for Li Daoxing, a relative of the emperor, to go there. This was clearly to keep an eye on Wang Xiu, the governor, so he sent an absolutely loyal person.

Who is the most loyal is undoubtedly the people of the Li family.

As long as the Tang Dynasty is here, the Li family will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, and if the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, the Li family will also perish.

So my younger brother became the candidate.

He even guessed that if there was no younger brother, it would be Li Daozong's turn.

Li Daoxing sighed, this is the only way to do it now, otherwise if he can resist the edict, it will be death.

……

In the palace, Li Shimin was still excited, because the existence of Mo Dao had increased the strength of his army.

"Guanyin maidservant, with this Mo Dao, the fighting power of our Tang army will be extremely terrifying!"

Rubbing the Mo knife in his hand, Li Shimin was as happy as a child getting a toy.

The eldest grandson Wugou watched it amusedly: "Your Majesty, is this knife really so terrifying that you should bring it to the harem?"

"Haha, even people and horses will not be spared. If Xieli makes trouble now, my army killing him is like slaughtering dogs."

Li Shimin's face was full of arrogance, because Jieli had a good opportunity to take advantage of Datang's weakness to make troubles.

If it is now, killing him is like killing a dog.

puff!

At this time, a laugh came from behind, it was Princess Jinyang.

The little son stuck out his tongue at his father, and said with contempt on his face: "Slightly...slightly...slightly...father is bragging again, you used to say that you defeated Xieli after all the hard work , Now killing people is like slaughtering dogs.”

Hearing what his daughter said, Li Shimin looked embarrassed, this little padded jacket is leaking.

"Hehehe, little sis, don't talk nonsense!"

But Empress Changsun couldn't help giggling, her husband must be deflated now.

Seeing that there were still a few grasses on the little si's head, the eldest grandson Wugou helped her take them off, and said angrily: "Little si, didn't you say that an elephant is auspicious, don't keep riding it."

"That's right, if it were someone else, I would definitely kill him!" Li Shimin interjected.

Ever since he got this elephant king, he regarded it as auspicious, and often showed it off in the harem, especially pretending to pass by Li Yuan's Tai Chi Palace a few times, which almost made Li Yuan mad.

He has always regarded elephants as treasures, and even Li Chengqian was beaten up because he wanted to ride an elephant, that is, Xiao Sizi, a naughty girl, he was reluctant to beat him, so he kept bullying his Xiangrui.

The little girl is not afraid, the little girl is fierce and fierce, and roared: "Father bullies people, the emperor has already said, this elephant is an elephant, what is auspicious and unlucky, I will let Wang Xiu give it to me in the future." Grab one too."

"Hmph, your grandpa is jealous of your father's destiny, what do you know?" Li Shimin said with an embarrassed expression.

"That's not true. Grandpa also said that the father will show off."

puff!

Li Shimin spat out a mouthful of tea. He always told his children what happened to his father. He could only use his majesty as a father to suppress his little daughter, and he dared to laugh at him.

Little Si was not afraid, she just sat next to Li Shimin, picked up one of the carrots and began to chew.

Since eating this carrot, her body has been in great shape, and she feels energetic for pranks.

"Father, who is this Wang Xiu? Why does he have so many interesting things?"

Xiao Sizi couldn't help being curious, she heard this name so many times these days that her little ears were almost callused.

Hearing these words, the eldest grandson Wugou's heart was moved, and he looked at the young si's beautiful appearance.

If the little si was ten years older, he might be betrothed to Wang Xiu, which would ease the conflict between the eldest grandson's family and Wang Xiu.

She knew Wang Xiu's position in Li Shimin's heart in her heart, and she heard Li Shimin mention Wang Xiu's big words on the martial arts field countless times, which was a symbol of loyalty, and if the whole world did this, he would feel at ease.

The Sacred Heart is in Wang Xiu, and his future is bright.

With a thought, she thought of her eldest daughter Li Lizhi, who was supposed to marry her nephew Sun Chong last year, but because of the famine in Guanzhong, she didn't mention it, maybe she could marry Wang Xiu.

If the princesses of other concubines marry Wang Xiu, it will be an advantage for them.

At this time, the chief eunuch hurried in and said happily, "Your Majesty, Xiao Shenzi has returned from Jiaozhou and is currently waiting outside."

"Xiao Shenzi?"

Li Shimin was overjoyed, wondering if there would be any surprises this time, he couldn't help but excitedly said: "Quick pass!"

"The servant kowtows to the emperor!"

After getting the pass, Xiao Shenzi came soon and knelt down in front of Li Shimin.

"Xiao Shenzi, how is your trip to Jiaozhou this time?" Li Shimin asked.

Hearing this, Wang Shen couldn't help but excitedly said: "Your Majesty, this servant has encountered a great thing in his trip, and he just said it to make His Majesty happy."

"What good thing?"

Now, not only Li Shimin became curious, but also the little Sizi and eldest grandson Wugou.

"Shelong's [-] troops besieged Zhennan Mansion..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by Li Shimin and said angrily: "You dog slave, what a good thing this is, what's your intention?"

Damn it, Zhennan Mansion was besieged by [-] troops, yet you still said it was a good thing.

He knew that Wang Xiu's [-] troops had already withdrawn to Jiaozhou in order to ensure a good harvest in Jiaozhou.

Chapter 89

"Your Majesty, this is a great victory. Wang Xiu's [-] elite commanders defeated [-] elite barbarians, and even beheaded the famous general of the opponent, Li Butcher. This time the Nanban suffered a disastrous defeat."

Seeing Li Shimin's anger, Wang Shen knew where the problem was, and quickly explained.

4000 people defeated [-] enemy troops?

Or elite?

This news made Li Shimin stunned for an instant. This is definitely a shocking victory, and Empress Changsun couldn't help showing a shocked expression.

"Xiao Shenzi, do you know what crime it is to deceive the emperor? Is it really possible that 4000 people defeated [-] barbarians?" Li Shimin asked sullenly.

These are [-] elite barbarians, not [-] rabble, it's simply incredible.

And Butcher Li, even he had heard of it in Chang'an, he was a ruthless character, and he was killed.

Wang Shen said solemnly: "Yes, your majesty, General Hao Zhao under the governor, relying on the city wall of Zhennan Mansion repaired by the governor, repelled Butcher Li's attack several times and weakened the opponent's strength."

"In the end, Butcher Li was forced to fight a decisive battle and use the Modao camp to smash the enemy army. It is said that the barbarians have corpses scattered all over the field, and there are countless casualties."

"What a Hao Zhao, what a Modaoying, what a Wang Xiu!" Li Shimin was amazed.

Even if he hadn't personally experienced the battlefield, he knew that the price to be paid for 4000 people to repel [-] enemy troops several times was definitely not simple.

This battle is definitely very difficult.

If it wasn't for Wang Xiuhao Zhao, I'm afraid these [-] elites would have already reached Jiaozhou. This Shelong is really ambitious, and he is clearly going for the food.

If it was the previous governors, they would probably have taken Jiaozhou by now.

However, this guy was also unlucky. He met the most powerful governor in the history of Jiaozhou, so he suffered heavy casualties.

4000 people defeated [-] elites. No wonder Wang Shen dared to say that it was a shocking victory. It was really incredible.

"4000 people defeated [-] elite enemy troops. Wang Xiu is indeed a handsome man, but he may have suffered heavy losses in this battle." Empress Changsun exclaimed.

Behind this glorious battle result, four thousand soldiers probably exchanged their lives for it.

For such a talent, the eldest grandson's family must win over him, instead of pushing him to the opposite side, that would be a loss outweighed the gain.

Wang Shen nodded and sighed: "Your Majesty, the chief inspector said that although the injury was quite a lot this time, it was of great significance. Shelong was frightened by the beating and took the initiative to shrink the defense line for twenty miles!"

"What, Sheron took the initiative to shrink the line of defense?"

Li Shimin was very happy, his heart was agitated, and he jumped up against the case: "Hahaha, what a Wang Xiu, he did a good job, a barbarian has repeatedly violated my Tang Dynasty, this time you know we are good."

Actively shrinking the line of defense, this is clearly because Shelong is afraid of being beaten.

This is definitely of great significance, even if the loss is heavy, it is worth it.

When he was excited, he couldn't help looking at Wang Shen with guilt, and sighed: "I blamed you, Xiao Shenzi, and you will be in charge of the imperial study from now on."

"How can the saint be wrong? It's because Xiao Shenzi said something wrong and the saint misunderstood." Xiao Shenzi said quickly.

The little si opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "Wow, 3 people haven't beat Wang Xiu's 4000 people. Wang Xiu is too good. He deserves to be the one who can catch elephants."

"Haha, of course!"

Li Shimin couldn't help being very proud when he heard his youngest daughter's words, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, I tried my best to reject all opinions and insisted on letting Wang Xiu be the governor of Jiaozhou. Now it seems that it is really a wise decision."

I am so discerning.

The eldest grandson Wugou glanced at his husband angrily, Erlang had such a thick skin, obviously no one was willing to go there at the beginning, and he also said that he had good eyesight.

But of course she wouldn't say that, instead she said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, Wang Shen took a box from the guard behind him, and said solemnly: "Your majesty, empress, this time Wang Xiu entrusted the slave to bring a treasure to the emperor, the emperor will definitely like it."

"Treasure?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, this is another good thing.

When he opened the box, a ginseng in human form appeared in his hand, which made Li Shimin gasp and exclaimed, "It is already in human form, this is a thousand-year-old ginseng!"

Good guy, it really is a treasure.

"Your Majesty, this is the thousand-year-old ginseng that Wang Xiu got by chance. He knew that the Emperor and Empress are not in good health, so he offered it to you to nourish your health. He also specially ordered that the imperial physician must prescribe a prescription for supplementing with food. This medicine is too powerful to be taken alone. .” Wang Shen introduced.

"Wang Xiu, you are really my loyal minister!"

Li Shimin looked at the ginseng in his hand, and for some reason his eyes felt a little wet, remembering that Wang Xiu had been managing Jiaozhou for himself in poor mountains and rivers, and he wanted to offer treasures.

How many loyal ministers are there in the world.

Even the eldest grandson Wugou was very moved. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiu thought of her. It really is not easy.

She couldn't help but said emotionally: "Your Majesty, it is truly a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to have a courtier like Wang Xiu."

"Yes!"

Li Shimin sighed, and this time he must be rewarded heavily.

Wang Shen reminded on the side: "Your Majesty, Wang Xiu specially asked the slaves to remind you that ginseng is an excellent medicine, which is extremely important for people with deficiency of Qi. The main place of production is the Liaodong region of Goguryeo."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Shimin couldn't help but his eyes lit up, Goguryeo actually had such a treasure, it was a waste for them.

It seems that more ginseng must be added to future tributes.

At the same time, Wang Xiu's reward this time cannot be missed, otherwise how could he be worthy of such a loyal minister.

……

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Hao Zhao, who defeated [-] barbarians with [-] elite soldiers. He achieved the achievement of defeating more with less, and rewarded him with [-] Turkic war horses."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host's loyalty that made Li Shimin cry. He has been awarded the achievement Loyalty. He rewarded [-] Jinyiwei and won Ji Gang, the Commander of Jinyiwei."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for integrating Kyushu, clearing up the disadvantages of the clan and powerful clan, obtaining the achievement of Lord of the Southwest, and rewarding 1000 guards."

Wang Xiu, who was far away in Songping, Jiaozhou, suddenly got the news, and couldn't help but look confused. It's a bit interesting why he got three achievements all of a sudden.

The first and third are very simple, and they are all natural achievements. After all, these are real achievements.

The rewards given here are also good. Three thousand Turkic war horses can completely organize three thousand cavalry, which can be used for long-distance raids or even outflanking, cutting the enemy's formation.

As for the 1000 guards, it seems that Wang Xiu sent him a thousand guards because he was worried about his own safety because he cleaned up the shortcomings of the clan.

The fighting power of these people is generally around [-], which is worse than that of Jin Yiwei, but much better than that of the army.

But the second achievement, Loyalty, is a bit weird. How did this thing come about?
