After coming out of the workshop, Li Zexuan walked towards Yunshan. He felt as depressed as he could. After all, he had already planned to form a national team to compete with the Japanese country. As a result, the Queen of Suigu suddenly died and the game had not yet begun. It started and ended without any problem, which was really disappointing!
In fact, having said that, Shanbei Brother Wang is much more depressed than Li Zexuan at the moment. He thought that he had finally managed to form a team, and he also worked hard and carefully studied the tactics of the Datang team. When he felt that his team was sure to win and had already issued a "challenge" to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, a letter suddenly came from the Japanese country saying that Queen Suigu had passed away. At this time, he could only rush back to the Japanese country immediately. After inheriting the throne of the emperor, how can he continue to compete in football with Li Zexuan in the Tang Dynasty?
More than a quarter of an hour later, Li Zexuan returned to Yunshan. At the gate of Yanhuang Academy, he met the driver of Shanbei's eldest brother. Shanbei's eldest brother was looking at Yanhuang Academy with longing, but he did not go in. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t! He knew very well that Li Zexuan's people would not let him enter the academy.
"Your Highness, Marquis Yong'an is here!"
The guards behind Shanbei Brother Wang saw Li Zexuan coming this way and quickly reported in a low voice.
Hearing this, Shanbei's eldest brother Wang turned around, greeted him, and said with cupped hands: "Yong'an Marquis, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you?"
Li Zexuan said expressionlessly: "Of course I am fine, but I am very sorry to hear that the Queen of your country passed away. Your Highness should be leaving for Japan today, right?"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang said with a sad face: "Yong'an Hou is right. I plan to leave today. Before Her Majesty the Queen passed away, she left a legacy, asking me to return to Japan as soon as possible to inherit the throne and revive the imperial court. I have no choice but to obey! It's a pity! Yes, I originally made an appointment with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to have a football match in half a month, but something like this happened, so the match has to be cancelled! I’m very sorry that I made Marquis Yong’an busy all the time in vain!”
Li Zexuan glared and said: "Working in vain? It's not in vain! I originally planned to form a new team to sweep the surrounding countries for me, the Tang Dynasty. This time I just followed this plan. The reason for the matter is just that! It doesn’t take much effort!”
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang's eyes narrowed, and then he said meaningfully: "Oh? Is Marquis Yong'an so confident that he can beat the Japanese team?"
Li Zexuan smiled casually and said: "That's natural! The Tang Dynasty is a vast land with abundant resources and talents. Wouldn't it be easy to find a dozen players who are good at football and form a team?"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang was silent for a while after hearing this. After a while, he sighed with a complicated expression: "Master Hou is right. The Tang Dynasty is indeed a vast land with rich resources and abundant talents. Whatever kind of talents you want, you can definitely find them with your heart." It can be found, unlike our Japanese country... In fact, sometimes, I envy the people of the Tang Dynasty for being born in a country with a powerful court like the Tang Dynasty...
Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, but the previous game still worked. After I deal with the Japanese affairs, I will definitely ask the envoy to lead the team to come to Datang for advice! I hope that by then, Marquis Yongan will still be so confident! "
Li Zexuan said lightly: "Haha! I'm always with you!"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang took a deep look at Li Zexuan and said: "Yong'an Hou, you are a very special person. You have extraordinary abilities, but you only want to live in Yunshan, be with your beloved wife, travel around, and by the way I train students and call you a worldly person, but you are doing things that are hidden from the world. But if you are called a worldly person, that is not entirely correct, because you have always been concerned about the government. Once the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, you will not care about it at all. Don’t hesitate to come forward! I can’t see through you!”
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "I am the crown prince of the Japanese country, and I will also be the king of the Japanese country in the future, and I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Your Highness does not need to see through me, you only need to see through your ministers and subordinates." ~!"
After being stabbed angrily by Li Zexuan, Shanbei's eldest brother Wang was not annoyed. He smiled, and then said seriously:
"I know that Marquis Yong'an has always been very wary of Gudu, but I don't know why this is the case. Gu respects and worships the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of his heart. He has never shown any disrespect or evil intentions. Gu Ruo is If you really did something wrong, please tell Marquis Yongan, and I will definitely change my ways!"
This made things clear. The eldest brother Wang Shanbei stayed in Datang for several months. He repeatedly showed his kindness to Li Zexuan, but was rejected mercilessly by Li Zexuan. Of course, he did not understand that he was about to leave the Tang Dynasty. Tang was angry, so he simply made it clear, otherwise he would not be willing to just return to Japan.
Li Zexuan's eyes flashed, he paused for a moment, and then he said: "It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, it's just a different stance! In my eyes, Datang's interests always come first!"
Shanbei's eldest brother Wang Ruo realized something. He nodded, cupped his hands and said: "I understand! But no matter what, it is my honor to come to Datang this time to meet such a master in the world as Marquis Yong'an! I will live in peace tomorrow." If a marquis goes to the Japanese country, he will be treated as a scholar of the country! You Central Plains people have a saying: When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dogs will be cooked; when the birds are gone, the good bow will be hidden; when the enemy's country is destroyed, the adviser will perish!
In the past, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, killed Han Xin and Yingbu after he gained the hegemony of King Tu. The heroes who followed him in his struggle for world supremacy died and retreated, leaving him completely alone! Marquis Yong'an, you are in such a high position at such a young age. If you perform meritorious deeds again in the future, who can guarantee that you will not arouse suspicion and follow in the footsteps of Han Xin? If that day comes, as long as Marquis Yong'an is willing to devote himself to the Japanese country and rule the world together with you, he will never be suspicious..."
"That's enough~!"
Listening to what Shanbei's eldest brother Wang said became more and more outrageous, Li Zexuan finally couldn't help but said angrily: "I'd better give up on this idea! I, Li Zexuan, was born as a Tang Dynasty person, and I will die as the soul of the Tang Dynasty! Even if I am jealous of you, I will not Flee another country and betray your ancestors! If you say such things again, don’t blame me for sending people to drive you down the mountain!"
To be honest, Li Zexuan has considered the issue of the master with great achievements before. He now lives in Yunshan Villa and rarely returns to his home in Chang'an City in order to maintain a semi-official and semi-hidden status and reduce his sense of presence. . But no matter what, even if Li Er is suspicious of him one day, the most he can do is take his family to live overseas in Southeast Asia, and he is determined not to work for the Japanese!
Shanbei's eldest brother, Wang, stopped talking and cupped his hands and said: "What I said just now is sincere. If I have offended you in any way, I hope Marquis Yong'an will forgive me! I say goodbye! We will definitely meet again in the future!"
After that, he smiled, then turned around and left with a group of guards!
Li Zexuan squinted his eyes and looked at the retreating back of his eldest brother Wang on the back of the mountain without saying a word.
Pang Feiji said at this time: "Master Hou, this Japanese crown prince is so rude and dares to sow discord between you and His Majesty. Who in the world doesn't know that His Majesty treats you..."
"okay!"
Li Zexuan said angrily: "Just pretend you didn't hear what I said just now. You must know that trouble comes from the mouth!"
Although he himself has a clear conscience, he is afraid that some things will be spread through false rumors, and in the end, nothing will turn out to be something!
Pang Feiji's heart trembled, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes! Lord Marquis! I know the importance of this!"
Li Zexuan nodded, and after a moment he suddenly smiled and said: "As soon as the Japanese delegation leaves, you and Natsume Natsume will get married! Although you can't do it in a big way, you still have to invite some good friends to eat it. A meal! I and my wife will also go to get a wedding drink at that time. You can go to the foot of the mountain to prepare for the wedding in the next few days. You don’t have to wait here in Yunshan every day~!"
When Pang Feiji heard this, he immediately beamed with joy. He solemnly saluted Li Zexuan and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
Although he was full of gratitude to Li Zexuan, at this moment his throat seemed to be blocked and he could only say these four words. Maybe this is because I don’t say thank you for the great kindness, I can only keep it in my heart and look for opportunities to repay it in the future!
Li Zexuan patted Pang Feiji on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Have a good life, and those who follow me will eventually live a good life. You deserve this!"
After that, he turned and left with a smile.
Pang Feiji stared at Li Zexuan's back and said to himself in his heart: Lord Marquis has been as kind as the ocean to me. If I can't repay him well in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to forgive myself!
.............................
Three days later, Li Er led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet Yuchi Jingde's triumphant army!
At about five quarters of the hour, the sun was shining on your body, making you feel a little bit hot. Finally, the waving flags and the mighty black army appeared on the official road in front!
Not long after, Yuchi Jingde led more than 50,000 Chang'an left guard sergeants and finally arrived in front of the city gate. When the soldiers of the three armies were still some distance away from the city gate, they all dismounted. At this moment, tens of thousands of people marched toward Li Li. The second bowed and prostrated, saying: "See Your Majesty!"
The sound was like thunder, and the shaking city walls seemed to shake three times. His words were filled with the joy of winning the battle and returning alive. After all, no one knew whether he could come back alive before going to Shuofang.
"All the soldiers are safe~!"
Li Er was in agitated mood, he raised his hands and said loudly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The soldiers thanked him and stood up straight.
Yuchi Jingde stepped forward at this time and said: "Your Majesty, I led the troops to Shuofang this time. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order and took back Shuofang City in one fell swoop! Liang Shidu was stubborn and was killed by his subordinates. The Turks wanted to send troops. Liang Shidu was also completely defeated by our army! Now, the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains are finally unified by Your Majesty~! I congratulate Your Majesty~!"
"I congratulate Your Majesty~!"
Chai Shao, Xue Wanjun, Liu Min and other important generals also followed Yuchi Jingde and bowed.
Li Erlong Yan Dayue said:
"Haha! Good! This battle was well fought! The generals not only captured Shuofang City with very few casualties, but also killed the Turkic wolf cavalry who abandoned their armor and fled. This made the Tang Dynasty proud. With the prestige of the country, we should be rewarded based on our merits! Let’s go! I will show you the Tai Chi Hall, I will be rewarded based on my merits~!”
Although the Tang Dynasty's victory over Shuofang without any bloodshed and the repelling of the Turkic reinforcements had a lot of luck and coincidence involved, the rich results of this battle are definitely enough to be recorded in the annals of history!
Civil and military officials and soldiers of the three armies entered the city one after another under the leadership of Li Er. The people in the city heard that the army that quelled Shuofang was returning today, so they waited on both sides of the road early to greet them. Some enthusiastic women even held their arms in their arms. Handkerchiefs were given to some handsome soldiers, and the hidden meaning was beyond words!
Li Er, Yuchi Jingde and others did not care much about this. In their opinion, winning a battle should be so lively. These honors were achieved by the soldiers of the three armies fighting with their lives on the battlefield. No one can find fault~ !
"Tsk! Didn't you just defeat 20,000 Turkic soldiers? How proud is Yuchi Laohei? I think back then, Lao Cheng and I defeated 78,000 or 80,000 Turkic wolf cavalry~!"
Yuchi Jingde, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies this time, was qualified to accompany Li Er, but Cheng Yaojin did not have this fate. Old Cheng rode behind, looking at the high-spirited Yuchi Jingde, and reluctantly He couldn't help but said sourly.
Qin Qiong was startled when he heard this and couldn't help rolling his eyes. Then he distanced himself slightly from Cheng Yaojin. Obviously, he didn't want to deal with the shameless old Cheng!
"Haha! Uncle Cheng, why do you have to be envious? Didn't you also enjoy this kind of treatment when you returned to Chang'an from Henan Dao Banshi last month?"
Li Zexuan rode a horse and walked side by side with Cheng Yaojin, and said a little funny at this time.
Cheng Yaojin is a bit similar to the temperament of the old naughty boy in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The older he lives, the younger he becomes, and the more childish he becomes. After getting along with him for a long time, Li Zexuan actually quite likes his personality.
"Hey! Xiaoxuan, you are right! Oh! No! Who is envious of his Heitan? I, Old Cheng, am not envious at all!"
Cheng Yaojin said something duplicity, and then said: "Hey! That's right! Xiaoxuan! It seems that it has not rained for two or three months. It seems that what you said was right. This year is indeed a severe drought. Year! I have heard from the housekeeper that many wheat seedlings in the fields are about to dry up. Many farmers have come all the way to fetch water from the Feng River to irrigate the farmland, but this is not an option!
Xiaoxuan, you built a dam on the Bahe River this year. With that dam, even if there is a severe drought, you should be able to ensure that the farmland in Lantian County has water for irrigation. But what should we do with the farmland on the Zhuangzi of our old Cheng family? Xiaoxuan, you have many ideas. Can you help Uncle Cheng come up with some ideas? "
Hearing Cheng Yaojin talk about this, Qin Qiong slowed down his horse, came to Li Zexuan's side, and said: "Xiaoxuan, Zhijie is right. If you have a good idea, save those farmers. The Qin family and Cheng My family is not short of that little rent, but we can’t let the farmers have no income and starve to death!”
"That's right! Xiaoxuan, you have to help me find a way!"
Niu Jinda also participated in Hedao at this time.
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Several uncles, my nephew has also noticed the drought problem this year. For now, in addition to hoping for rain, we have to send man-made water trucks and open canals ourselves. ~!"
