I heard Changsun Wuji say Li Chengqian's name.
Li Shimin was very surprised.
What's going on?
Just don’t allow yourself to conquer it yourself.
Why did he move Li Chengqian out?
Li Shimin raised his eyes, looked at Changsun Wuji for a long time, and said two words lightly: "Reason."
Seeing Li Shimin's somewhat gloomy eyes.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but swallowed his saliva: "First, the emperor's eldest son went to war on his father's behalf, which is justifiable."
"Secondly, King Qin's martial prowess is known all over the world. The battle at the source city of Tuyuhun River is the best proof."
"If he can go to the battlefield, he will definitely be able to revive the low morale of the frontline soldiers."
"Thirdly, King Qin's resourcefulness cannot be underestimated. He has the demeanor of His Majesty when he was young. He is bound to lead the soldiers to win this battle."
"If your Majesty is still not at ease, you can send an experienced general from the court to assist and supervise."
After hearing what Changsun Wuji said.
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.
If he can't hear what Changsun Wuji means anymore.
Then he would really be a fool.
To put it bluntly, this matter has nothing to do with Li Chengqian.
Even Changsun Wuji didn't want him to go, but he was afraid of losing face, so he said this.
The meaning is nothing more than asking Li Shimin to choose a strong general from the court to go in his place.
Li Shimin couldn't help but straighten his waist: "What Aiqing said does make sense."
"In this case, I sent an order to the King of Qin to be the general manager of the march, with full authority to allocate everything on the front line."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Ji in the crowd and said, "Mr. Mao, I'll give you a hard time this time. How about you be the deputy general manager and assist the King of Qin?"
"I will naturally obey your Majesty's orders."
Li Ji pursed his lips, then looked up at Li Shimin and said bluntly: "If during the war, I feel that His Highness's views are inappropriate, what should I do?"
"If he is greedy for merit and advances rashly, Maogong can speak out and punish him."
"If Maogong disagrees with him, Maogong needs to consider it carefully. If he still insists on his opinion, he can refuse it flatly."
Li Shimin's words were equivalent to giving Li Ji a Shangfang sword.
And also established his status as the mastermind.
Although he is called an assistant, he is actually the commander-in-chief.
He has the right to stop Li Chengqian from all his greedy and aggressive behavior.
That being the case, what else can Li Ji say?
He immediately knelt down and saluted and said, "I will fulfill my mission."
…
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, it was early July.
Li Ji personally led the Shenwu Army of the Tang Dynasty, with eight thousand soldiers and horses, to Mobei by water.
Li Chengqian also received news from Chang'an Kuaima.
He really didn't expect that his father would push him onto the battlefield again.
What's this?
How come every war has its own self?
But Li Chengqian couldn't shirk it.
After all, if investigated, the initiator of this matter was himself.
Therefore, he immediately agreed and only waited for Li Ji's arrival, although Li Ji went to the front line together.
But just one day before Li Ji arrived, something unexpected happened suddenly.
And this change was that Xi Jun appeared in the most unlikely place.
Just as Li Chengqian was instructing the peasants to harvest the mature crops, he was preparing for the arrival of the teacher.
Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong suddenly hurried to his courtyard to report.
"Your Highness, enemy troops have appeared in the north and are less than ten miles away from us!"
"What?"
Hearing this, even Li Chengqian's expression changed.
He directly asked: "How many troops does the other party have?"
"Five thousand men, and all of them are cavalry."
Cheng Huailiang looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "It seems that they are the same people who came to cause trouble before."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.
Zhao Youlin’s ghost is really lingering...
The situation now is no different than before.
At that time, the reason why Li Chengqian dared to challenge the five thousand Xi army single-handedly.
That was because he was sure that Zhao Youlin did not dare to do anything to him, and the Xi clan did not dare to rashly start a war with the Tang Dynasty.
But now, the Tang Dynasty and the Xi clan have gone to war.
This time they came, they came to take their own lives.
Nowadays, Li Chengqian only has a thousand civilians by his side, along with a thousand soldiers from the Qianzi camp.
Using two thousand soldiers and horses to force the opponent's five thousand cavalry is simply seeking death.
Cheng Huailiang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, what should we do now? For the cavalry, the distance of ten miles is only a blink of an eye, so you have to make up your mind early."
"What else can be done?"
"You lead the 800-strong battalion to stay here and work with the civilians to harvest as many mature crops as possible."
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said, "The rest of you will follow me."
As he finished speaking, his heart suddenly moved.
Immediately afterwards, he turned to look at Wuyou who was dazed at the side and said, "Brother Chong, you must personally escort her to the Yellow River Ferry."
"how about you?"
Before Changsun Chong could speak, Wuyou said this.
"Zhao Youlin's target is me."
"As long as I leave, his attention will definitely be on me."
Li Chengqian said: "The farm matters are far more important than my life."
The implication is that he wants to lead people to distract the enemy.
Hearing this, Wuyou's eyes suddenly turned red: "No, I want to follow you."
Her words really moved Li Chengqian.
But now is not the time to be impulsive.
Li Chengqian said directly: "The enemy is already close at hand. Once we fight, how will I have time to take care of you?"
"I can take care of myself."
Wuyou is quite stubborn.
Seeing her look like that, Li Chengqian bit his lip, then looked at Cheng Hualiang: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you take her away quickly?"
Li Chengqian was worried about staying by himself.
But if Li Chengqian stayed, how could she rest assured?
She stepped forward and grabbed Li Chengqian's shirt, and said urgently: "I won't leave, I want to stay..."
But Changsun Chong had already stepped forward.
He would never say no to Li Chengqian's orders.
It was the same now. He grabbed Wuyou's arm, then pulled her and walked out.
Li Chengqian also felt very unhappy when he saw Changsun Chong grabbing Wuyou's arm and running towards the ferry, while Wuyou kept looking towards him with tears in his eyes.
He turned to Cheng Huailiang and said, "Huailiang, do as I tell you."
"Then, Your Highness..."
Cheng Huailiang was really worried about Li Chengqian.
Especially at this moment, how could he let Li Chengqian distract the enemy troops?
"I'm fine."
"Zhao Youlin, I haven't taken him seriously yet."
Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "Follow my instructions."
Wait until Cheng Huailiang leaves.
Li Chengqian grabbed the silver gun standing in the corner, went to the stable and took out his snow-white horse.
Then he galloped out of the farm and arrived at the place where the Qianzi camp was forming.
Li Chengqian shouted loudly: "I only want two hundred people, and I hope the dead will follow me."
After saying that, he didn't care how many people responded, and rode a horse in the direction of the rising smoke.
Soon after he ran out of the farm, more than two hundred soldiers from the Qianzi Battalion followed his pace.
Li Chengqian looked back, his eyes curled into crescents.
"What a damn bunch of fools..."
