Luo Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning to Chang'an City. The more than a month of going to Huguang seemed like nothing, but running back and forth was really tiring.
In addition, the journey was not peaceful, and he encountered two assassinations alone. If it were not for the help of the old poisonous man, he would not have been able to come back this time, especially the second wave of assassins, which numbered more than a dozen people. There are so many, and there are even more powerful ones. Luo Zhang and the Eighteen Cavalry together may not be able to deal with so many. The final outcome will be to be captured or killed.
Fortunately, nothing happened, and he finally returned to Chang'an City after more than a month.
Outside the city, after Luo Zhang handed over the military talisman to the Ministry of War, he went straight to the palace. His Majesty had already sent someone to wait at the city gate to take Luo Zhang into the palace to meet the emperor.
Luo Zhang also knew that Li Shimin wanted to ask about the situation in the south. After all, the silk cloth was only so big and there was only so much information that could be written on it. How could it be told in detail and clearly in person? It was inevitable to explain it, just like today's officials The report in Beijing is the same.
When Luo Zhang was brought into the imperial study, Li Shimin was still standing next to the huge map and looking at it. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Shimin turned around and looked at Luo Zhang, who was walking into the imperial study in a dusty state.
Seeing Luo Zhang like this, Li Shimin nodded, smiled and said: "Not bad!"
These two words seem very ordinary, just like the elders praising the younger ones, but it doesn't matter who says it, ordinary people or those in the family, but this is what Li Shimin said.
Who is Li Shimin? Today, Your Majesty, he said that a person is good, what an honor it is, if other people were afraid that their legs would tremble with excitement, and they paid homage, this kind of thing would be extremely honorable to say.
However, Luo Zhang didn't have any expression on this, and he was still a little unhappy. In fact, Li Shimin had tricked Luo Zhang and sent Luo Zhang to Huguang. It was true that Luo Zhang could not get compensation, but he was A realist, how can he soothe his restless mood without being practical.
Seeing that Luo Zhang didn't express anything and looked a little unhappy, Li Shimin smiled and said: "What? Are there any grievances? If you have grievances, just say it and speak freely."
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Luo Zhang cursed secretly in his heart, said it to himself? What do you say to yourself? If this is okay, will you make me feel better?
"Tell me about your trip to Huguang this time!" Seeing that Luo Zhang didn't speak, Li Shimin walked to his chair and sat down and asked.
At this point, Luo Zhang had no choice but to answer. After sorting out his thoughts, he said: "The son Feng Junhao who went to Huguang Feng An this time met with me on behalf of Feng An. This son should be Feng An's successor."
At that moment, Luo Zhang introduced some things about his trip south to Huguang, focusing on helping Feng An seize the land of South Vietnam. At the same time, he took out a document, which was the agreement signed by Luo Zhang and Feng Junhao.
Looking at the agreement in his hand, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded and said: "You did a good job in this matter. The news from Shuzhong has also been sent back. Feng An has indeed withdrawn his troops from Shuzhong as written in the agreement. Now, All have been withdrawn to Huguang."
These words made Luo Zhang's eyes light up. During these days, he was busy traveling and did not inquire about the news. Even if he did, what would happen? He still has to go back to Chang'an to make plans.
"That means Feng Ang has agreed to our conditions? I will also speed up the arrangements for the ship to go to Huguang." Luo Zhang pondered.
"Of course I agreed. I didn't expect that you solved such a difficult problem without using a single soldier. You don't know how shocked the people in the court were when they heard the news. Now think about my feelings. They are all very enjoyable!" Li Shimin praised without hesitation.
Luo Zhang frowned slightly. He always felt that something was wrong with His Majesty today. He praised him as soon as he came, and he is still praising him now. Is there any trap waiting for him to jump?
"You just came back, I'm afraid you'll have to leave again soon!" Li Shimin looked at Luo Zhang and sighed.
These words made Luo Zhang raise his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, you mean that the day of the expedition to Gaoguli is coming soon?"
"Of course, the money, food, and weapons were all ready during the month you left. Now the army is gathering in Chang'an. In half a month at most, the first batch of vanguard troops will set off." Li Shimin said and looked at Luo Zhang again.
Without Li Shimin staring at him, Luo Zhang felt uncomfortable. He thought for a while and then asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you mean that I will join the first group of vanguard troops to conquer Gaoguli?"
"Children can be taught. Yes, you will go to Gaoguli with the first batch of vanguard troops. Do you still remember the answer sheet you made during the imperial examination?" Li Shimin changed the topic.
Luo Zhang blinked and pretended not to know: "Remember, but what does this answer sheet have to do with the expedition to Gaoguli?"
"Your answer sheet was very good, and that map is the map of Jiancheng along the Gaoguli Road. Your march plan has been highly praised by Li Jing, and has been studied by them and deemed feasible, so this time You will be among the first to go to Gaoguli with Cheng Yaojin, do you understand what I mean?" Li Shimin explained slowly.
