The arrival of Prince Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty also made Xu Yunyan discover a long-lost figure among the team.
Isn't it exactly Liu Ye, the child of Uncle Liu who was from the same village? Who is he?
Seeing Liu Ye, Xu Yunyan smiled at him kindly, but Liu Ye sneered. However, Xu Yunyan didn't care about this. Instead, he felt that Liu Ye was so kind. He smiled at himself and didn't care about anything else. .
Liu Ye was indeed proud of it.
"Li Ying, Li Ying, don't think that just because your surname is Li, you can be so powerful. Now I am also surnamed Li. Li Zhong, who was given the name by His Highness the Crown Prince himself, has the same surname as you. I can go one step further in the future."
But just when he was underestimating these things, Xu Yunyan looked at Li Chengqian and asked.
"Your Highness, I wonder what this is, Your Highness?"
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Master, why did you forget so quickly? Didn't you say that I would go on the expedition with you?"
"I know this, Your Highness, but the navy hasn't arrived yet. How can I lead the troops to the expedition?
Or should we wait for General Cheng to gather his troops and protect his left and right sides before heading to Chuzhou to wait for the navy? "
When Li Chengqian heard this, he smiled and said, "Master, actually, I feel a little unkind when I come here this time."
Xu Yunyan was even more curious now, wondering what Li Chengqian was selling. However, Prince Li Chengqian still had to maintain his face.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will obey your orders no matter what. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, just say so.
The prince said it so politely, as if the general had great abilities, which was not appropriate. "
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Chengqian chuckled. There was nothing embarrassing about it, he just said it here.
"Master, it's actually not that difficult."
"Since it's not a difficult matter, Your Highness, just say so. Why bother?"
Once again, Li Chengqian was asked to tell him what the problem was, but Li Chengqin didn't hesitate this time and looked at Xu Yunyan talking here.
"Master, I am actually asking Master for help this time. I want the guard you recommended to me to go to the North to experience, so that I can provide Master with some necessary help.
Even if you can't be your right-hand man, you can still arrange emergency tasks when necessary. What do you think? "
When Li Chengqian said this, Li Zhong was so grateful to Li Chengqian that he was about to cry. Xu Yunyan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw Li Chengqian pointing at Li Zhong.
"OK, no problem."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Chun, and Li Chun's heart skipped a beat.
"General, what's the matter? Didn't you say that I would go with you to carry out His Majesty's orders?"
But as soon as Li Chung finished speaking, Xu Yunyan shook his head.
"Now there is a new mission for you to perform."
In an instant, Li Chun's happy mood turned cold, and he looked at Xu Yunyan like an angry little daughter-in-law.
"General, you can't keep your word like this. It's not appropriate for military orders to be changed overnight."
"Did I give any military orders?"
Xu Yunyan scratched his head here deliberately, "I have never issued a military order! I have always been here to say something, how can you say that I have issued a military order?"
Xu Yunyan said this, and Li Chun could only nod.
"Okay, okay, General, you get what you say."
After Li Chun gave in, Xu Yunyan looked at him and spoke slowly.
"Since I mean what I say, then you should accompany Lieutenant Liu to Beidi, talk to Deputy Protector Shi, and make good arrangements."
But as soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Li Chengqian shook his head.
"Master, I didn't mean..."
Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Xu Yunyan was stunned.
"Not the captain
Yet? This actually made His Royal Highness laugh. "
Xu Yunyan was a little curious seeing Liu Ye still showing himself proud.
"Are you so happy? You're not out, so what's going on? Aren't you a captain?
Wasn’t it you that His Highness the Crown Prince was talking about openly and secretly just now? "
But Xu Yunyan hadn't thought it through yet, and Li Chengqian was talking here.
"Liu Xiaowei is indeed loyal and courageous, and has done well, so I gave him Li Zhong. Now he should be Xiaowei Li."
"What? Lieutenant Li? This is really gratifying!"
Li Chun was also here to congratulate him and said, "Captain Li? That's right, that's right. Our surname is Li and we will be brothers from now on."
Li Chun's words made Li Zhong couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that there was another person named Li here, and looking at the way he didn't care about this surnamed Li, he must have been a member of the royal family named Li? Then I must have a good relationship with him in the future.
But just when Li Zhong was thinking about this, Xu Yunyan waved his hand, "In that case, please go back to the East Palace first, and wait until General Cheng has assembled, and then we can set off. How about that?"
Otherwise, General Cheng doesn't know how long it will take to assemble the troops and horses, and we may be plotted by the villain if we go to Chuzhou, which will be a big trouble. "
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Chengqian didn't feel embarrassed at all, and instead said it here.
"In that case, Cheng Qian will go find those friends first and ask them to protect him together."
Hearing this, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but think of what Hou Junji said.
"Your Highness, we are going out as generals this time. You must not look for those men of letters. It is better to look for someone who is reliable."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Chengqian nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, Master, of course I will go to Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Changsun Chong, Yuchi Baolin and the others. I will not go to those literati who have no power to restrain a chicken."
But as soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but curl his lips.
Compared with Qin Huaiyu and others, isn't Changsun Chong equivalent to a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken?
Although he now has a little bit of force, this force is probably more about showmanship!
After Xu Yunyan laughed self-deprecatingly, Li Chengqian saluted him with a fist and then ran forward quickly to find the children of the young military generals he mentioned.
But not long after Li Chengqian left, Li Chun looked at Li Zhong standing next to him and asked.
"General, Lieutenant Li has gone to the North. Did you make any arrangements for him? If he is taken away like this, what military duties will we have for the generals, deputy generals, and generals of the Anbei Protectorate?" Can't a school captain be assigned as a leading soldier?"
Xu Yunyan scratched his head here.
"How do you say this?"
Just when Li Zhong thought that Xu Yunyan was going to make things difficult for him again, and his face was a little gloomy, but others seemed a little disappointed, Xu Yunyan said something.
"It's better to ask Deputy Governor Shi. I haven't been in the Anbei Governor's Mansion for a while. What's the situation in Anbei now? We don't know. Everything depends on Deputy Governor Shi's arrangements."
After Xu Yunyan said these words, although Li Zhong's face was still gloomy, everyone felt that he meant that he was a little disappointed that he was not arranged by Xu Yunyan, but other people did think that this was human nature.
You, a captain, can't get a high position just by relying on your connections, right? You should still go to the deputy governor first as the general said. Only during this period of time, deputy governor Shi, who has been staring at the Anbei governor's mansion, to see what you can do is the most appropriate.
After receiving Xu Yunyan's order, Li Chun set off with Li Zhong without stopping, rushing towards the Anbei Protector's Mansion.
Li Chun is still here feeling that as long as he rushes to the Northland as quickly as possible, and then brings back a few old brothers, he should be able to make it in time.
Who told General Cheng to gather his troops and go to Chuzhou? It's enough to go fast day and night.
After Li Chun and Li Zhong hurriedly set off, Xu Yunyan took the remaining men to his original Xuanwu Gate guard next to the Xuanwu Gate in Chang'an City. He changed his name to his own courtyard when he was General Zhongwu.
Chang He's courtyard opposite was still the same as before, but this time when I came back, my own courtyard felt even more grand than Chang He's.
The entrance is guarded by a group of majestic elite soldiers of the Anbei Army. Compared with the few at Chang He's entrance, they look pampered and swaying even if the wind blows, and they are as thin as a hemp stick. After comparing with the Tang army, Xu Yunyan felt that as a general, he finally had the dignity of a general.
After Xu Yunyan finished lamenting his current situation, his two wives had already got out of the carriage. They just looked at them with red eyes. Xu Yunyan just said His lofty ideals suddenly fell down again.
"Madams, this is my courtyard in Chang'an, please come in!"
Looking at this ordinary courtyard, the two women didn't feel any embarrassment and just walked in. As soon as they entered, they saw a very familiar figure standing there with his hands on his hips and pointing at the person who had just entered. The soldiers were talking here.
"You can come in, but you have to close the door. If my stinky brother comes over, I'll kick him out. Do you hear me?"
This is Yue'er here giving orders no matter what, these people in front of them are here at a loss with their heads lowered as if we listen carefully to what you say, but they will never execute it.
But when Yue'er saw them like this and was about to get angry again, she suddenly looked at Xu Yunyan coming in from the door and waved involuntarily.
"Just go out and let my two sisters-in-law live here. What are you doing here?"
"What's going on? How did I offend you?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Yue'er with an ugly face, as if I'm very sad, why am I being targeted by you again?
Yue'er didn't care about this mess, but looked at Xu Yunyan and said dissatisfiedly.
"What on earth are you thinking? Are you going to arrange for Xue Li to be a guard in Chang'an City, just like the guard at your door? How will you get military exploits and promotions in Chang'an City in the future? You don't want him to do that? You will be a captain in the end, right?"
It turned out that Yue'er was causing trouble for her because of this matter, and then Xu Yunyan looked at Yue'er and smiled.
"Simple, just let Xue Li go on the expedition with me this time."
When Xu Yunyan said this, the wooden-like guards present looked at Xu Yunyan with bright eyes.
"Master Protector, are we going on another expedition?"
These people were extremely excited when they heard about the expedition, and Xue Li, who was standing in the shadow of the room behind Yue'er, jumped out even more when he heard this.
"Senior brother, there is going to be a war again, but I just don't know where to use force?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Xue Li and the soldiers who were so excited when they heard there was a battle, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
War is always accompanied by death, but you are so excited, why don't you think that war will bring us trouble, but as if war would only bring us trouble?
