Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 105: 1You don’t need to bring it back after riding
Xiao Huating is indeed making a big bet, but it is not Li Chunyu who wins the bet.
It doesn't matter who wins. What she wants is to persuade the second prince to let the 200,000 Ye family army set off on the grassland for legitimate reasons.
The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost and fog.
A secret letter that Li Chunyu finally waited for, Xiaohuating told him that there are 150,000 iron knights going south in the grassland, hoping that he will set off to make contributions. The starting point is good and seems to be for his sake, but the premise must be sure that the information is true of. The mischief in the DPRK is something most people can't think of. As a prince, a strong contender for the throne, any decision must be made after thinking about the past and making a mistake. It may be a dead end.
Looking at the handwriting of the secret letter, Li Chunyu fell into deep thought, Xiaohuating did not lie to him, the iron cavalry on the grassland really went south, a full 150,000.
For the court, this is a crisis, and it is bound to be a tough battle, and many people will definitely die. But for him Li Chunyu, for the prince, this is an opportunity, an opportunity. The prosperous and prosperous dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, superb strength, and the people are well-fed. Even thieves are rare. Who dares to commit crimes in the surrounding small countries? That is to say, the prairie cavalry dare to invade south, and it is better to die in battle than to starve to death. But these prairie barbarians will only go south in a few years?
Three years?
Still five years?
How many years does a prince have?
And this is also the reason why the prince hasn't had military merits so far. It has been a peaceful and prosperous age in recent years, and there is no war to fight. Even if there was a battle, it was basically defeated by Ye Zhengru ten years ago. The 200,000 Ye family army fought from the south to the north and from the east to the west, accumulating countless military exploits, and in fact, guaranteed the stability of the court.
Based on Li Chunyu's analysis, the King Court of the Grassland must have thought that if Ye Zhengru were gone, the army would inevitably undergo a period of turbulence. This is an opportunity to take advantage of.
In addition to the cold current, freezing to death and starving to death, it is better to fight south.
The Erlang of the grassland is not as good as it is. You lose every time.
"Two hundred thousand Ye Jiajun? One hundred and fifty thousand prairie cavalry?" Li Chunyu squinted his eyes, tapped his fingers on the back of the chair, silently calculating the gains and losses in his heart.
The oil lamp inside the house flickered, and snow gradually began to fall outside the house.
The first snow in winter came so early!
In the face of Luoxue, Li Chun walked in Jinyi night and quietly entered the palace.
His majesty, the emperor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, did not seem to be surprised by Li Chunyu's arrival. It seems that news of the prairie cavalry going south has already reached the palace.
Walking into his father’s palace, it was almost midnight, the old man over half a hundred years old was still correcting memorials, next to it was soup that had been heated three times, and the surrounding oil lamps had been added several times. kerosene.
Walking slowly in front of His Majesty the Emperor, Li Chunyu stood quietly without saying a word, patiently waiting for his father's correction to be completed.
"Chunyu, why did you find your father so late?" His Majesty gently closed the memorial that had just been corrected, put it aside, raised his head and rubbed his eyebrows, and then looked at Li Chunyu. Although his head was full of gray hair, the eyes of the old emperor were so deep that he could see through people's hearts.
"Father, the 150,000 prairie cavalry will rush to Youzhou tomorrow, and then follow Youzhou straight to Liangzhou, and then Qingzhou. The son wants to ask his father for instructions, lead the army, and beheaded. The prairie cavalry, never let go." Li Chunyu said powerfully, vowing every word with confidence and confidence.
Looking at Li Chunyu, the old emperor waved his hand outside the house, and soon an old **** came in, "heat the soup."
"By the way, add a bowl of supper to the second prince."
After speaking, don’t forget to ask Li Chunyu, "What do you want to eat?"
Looking at his father, Li Chunyu shook his head, "Father, my son is not hungry."
"Then make a bowl of snow ginseng nourishing porridge, it's snowing outside, warm up your body."
No longer obsessed with supper, Li Chunyu looked at his father and said, "Thank you, Father."
Soon, a bowl of hot soup and a bowl of snow ginseng nourishing porridge came up. The father and son, each with a bowl, blowing the heat, slowly began to eat supper.
"Your brother was here just now." The emperor seemed to say something casually.
"My brother?" Li Chun moved slightly at the corner of his mouth and swallowed.
"He also asked me for my order, led the army on the expedition, and brought a joint letter from the Ministry of War. He was well prepared." The emperor continued.
"He has never led a soldier. He rarely rides a horse. He is good at writing poetry and painting. Leading the army is not a trifle. It is a full 150,000 prairie cavalry. Once he fails, it means There is a disaster. Thousands of people from Youzhou to Qingzhou will be ransacked. The barbarians of the grassland are never soft." Li Chunyu frowned and said.
"The Ministry of Defense will send generals who know how to lead the army. Your brother will not personally command. He is only responsible for leading the army, not for fighting." The emperor said calmly.
"Then what's the use of my brother? Who is going to be different?" Li Chun finally fluctuated emotionally.
"Your brother is the prince, he said he needs this military service." The emperor didn't even conceal this sentence from Li Chunyu, and told him very happily, "Do you need it too?"
To build a nation with military power, military merit is better than anything else.
Things Xiaohuating and Li Chunyu can figure out, others can naturally figure out things, let alone the prince.
Is it an idiot to be able to sit as a prince?
Everyone in the world is an idiot, and his father, Li Jianqi, would not be an idiot. When Li Chunyu was still thinking about whether or not to go, the prince had already started his action. Within half a day, even the Ministry of War had been settled, and even the leading general had been selected, and he had fully explained to his father and emperor. I didn't conceal my inner thoughts or purpose at all.
This is Yangmou.
He is a prince, he does things with integrity, no matter how ugly the process is, as long as the result is beautiful, there will naturally be applause.
For a while, Li Chunyu didn't say a word, just lowered his head and slowly drank the snow ginseng nourishing porridge in front of him. He drank everything, not even a grain of rice was left.
"Father, I think it might be more suitable for me to lead the army this time."
His Majesty the Emperor did not respond, did not even lift his head, but slowly put a spoonful of soup into his mouth with a spoon.
"Ye Zhengru has gone, but the two hundred thousand Ye Jiajun is still there, and my son is willing to lead Ye Jiajun to meet the enemy." Li Chunyu said while looking at his father.
I found that the old emperor’s hand holding the spoon had stopped, and continued, “The Ye Jiajun of 200,000, and the prairie cavalry of 150,000 like a wolf, should be able to compete with each other if you want to come. Although Ye Jiajun Known as invincible, Ke Erchen is not an old general Ye Zhengru after all. It is not easy to defeat the prairie cavalry."
In a simple paragraph, Li Chunyu turned out to use the 200,000 Ye Jiajun to exchange this opportunity for the expedition.
No emperor can tolerate the existence of a family-style army like Ye Jiajun. The people of the world should obey the emperor, not the general.
"Can you command the Ye Jiajun?" The old emperor raised his head and looked at Li Chunyu, "This army is different from other armies. They have always only obeyed the Ye family, otherwise they would not be called Ye Jiajun."
"Your brother and you, no matter who goes on the expedition, I have no opinion. But there is a bottom line. One hundred and fifty thousand grassland barbarians cannot cross Youzhou, and this battle cannot be defeated."
Li Chunyu stared straight at his father, then nodded affirmatively and said, "I can."
"I can command Ye Jiajun."
"One hundred and fifty thousand prairie horses, don’t even think about going home."
"200,000 Ye Jiajun, I can bring back 10,000 at most."
A cold wind penetrated through the cracks outside the house, and the old emperor moved the soup in his hand to the side, then pointed to the opposite couch, "Come and talk."
Since entering the house, Li Chunyu has always been standing upright. When he asked for his order, he was given a bowl of porridge, offering a strategy of one stone and two birds, and he was given a bed.
After Li Chunyu took off his boots and put on the wooden couch, the old emperor had already placed an incense burner and a piece of white paper with a line of small characters written on it. Look at the ink, it should have just been written on. of.
The font is small, but strong, like pines and cypresses between the cliffs.
"You don't have to take it back for a ride."
The old emperor wrote a total of eight characters on the paper. After Li Chunyu finished reading it, he gently rolled it up and put it in the incense burner.
There is no incense in the incense burner, only a layer of reddish charcoal~IndoMTL.com~ The paper slowly began to curl when it met the charcoal, and then turned yellow, and finally started to burn directly. The flame rose an inch high and lasted for two. A breath, and then quickly turned into ashes.
A full 350,000 lives were wiped out in the conversation between these two men.
"When Ye Jiajun asks for an order, it is the time when you lead the army."
After saying this, the old emperor was silent for a while, and then suddenly added, "I remember that there is a young man in the Ye Zheng Confucian family. When you go out, remember to bring it with you. You can let the Ministry of War canonize a lieutenant as appropriate. Since it is Ye Jiajun How can there be no one in the army with the surname Ye?"
"By the way, does Ye Zhengru have any other heirs?"
After thinking about it, Li Chunyu said, "I heard that there is another bastard."
"The bastard? Where is the person? What is it for?"
"This person was also in Luoyang before. He died some time ago, and I heard that he also entered the dragon vein imperial tomb. This illegitimate child seems to be a cultivator, but he doesn't know what his realm is."
"Let the adjudication division follow. If a person dies in the dragon vein imperial mausoleum, let's just let him go and accompany the old general if he comes out alive."
Cut the grass and roots, and leave no troubles. It seems that this is to make the general mansion dead.
Ye Xue was down in succession, and soon, the entire Luoyang city was covered with a white veil, wrapped in silver, just like a fairy tale world. The second prince Li Chunyu slowly walked out of the palace, but facing Luoxue, he didn't even sit in a sedan chair. He just walked step by step, carefully recalling the conversation with his father just now, checking for any omissions, and wondering what some of them were. There are no omissions or flaws.
Successfully succeeded!
Li Chunyu turned around and looked at the palace behind him, "Everyone wants to sit in that seat, it's not that simple."
