There are still some people in Xu Yunyan's tribe who have other ideas.
Changsun Chong and Zhao Dong chatted with Sun Xiaoning about things in the tribe and moved forward quickly to find the target they needed to find this time.
In another place, a Tang army with more majestic momentum, more complete equipment and more solemnity galloped across the grassland quickly, advancing rapidly towards the west of the grassland.
Among this Tang army, one after another the flags of generals with different fonts were fluttering in the wind, and a slightly larger flag with the word Xue at the front was leading the way. Who was Li Chengqian's Tiance Guard if it wasn't led by Xue Li? ?
While the Tiance Guards were galloping across the grasslands, there was also a Tiance Guards in the Tang Dynasty. They were also traveling quickly, galloping towards their set goal of Chang'an City.
In the East Palace of Chang'an City, Li Chengqian couldn't help scratching his head as he looked at Li You and Li Xin standing in front of him and responding to his orders.
"The two imperial brothers have also worked hard on you. It is really my fault for letting you patrol the Chang'an city defense in the hot weather."
Li Chengqian kept trying to admit his mistakes to his two brothers, King Li You of Qi and King Li Min of Shu, to save them from complaining about the unrealistic actions he had arranged for them. However, Li You's eyes were shining and he looked at Li Chengqian. .
"His Highness the Crown Prince is too worried. How can I blame His Highness the Crown Prince? His Highness the Crown Prince thinks highly of us and has arranged a place where we can have a way out. We haven't thanked His Highness the Crown Prince yet, so how can we blame His Highness the Crown Prince?" ?」
As soon as Li You finished speaking, Li Min, as a prince with the same status as King Li You of Qi, also hurriedly said something in front of Li Chengqian.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves our brothers so much and gives us rights beyond our imagination. It's too late for us to be grateful. What's more, if we go to our fief according to His Majesty's arrangements in the future, we will definitely need to know something about military matters. If we don't know anything about it, I don’t know, just in case it’s urgent. Of course, I’m not talking about going against His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Li Min scratched his head and assured Li Chengqian with a simple and honest look, and Li Chengqian also looked at them and spoke kindly.
"It doesn't matter. You brothers are all my brothers and blood relatives. I absolutely don't believe that such a thing will happen."
But just after Li Chengqian finished speaking, it was hard to say what Li You and Li Min were thinking. Aren't their father Li Shimin, the original prince Li Jiancheng, and Qi King Li Yuanji all brothers and blood relatives?
But now this is a result that no one wants to see.
But when I think of Qi King Li Yuanji, the current Qi King Li You's face is quite ugly, Qi King! That was King Qi, his own title.
However, the previous King of Qi was very close to His Highness the Crown Prince. Do I, the King of Qi, also need to be on good terms with His Highness the Crown Prince to have a future? What's more, I still have some ideas, quite bold ideas.
Li You couldn't help but think of other things, and Li Min indeed said it in front of Li Chengqian.
"Just now I was talking about some emergency situations, such as thieves appearing in the territory, or some blind people. When the territory happens to be in trouble, we, as princes, must be able to go out and take these blind people away. Has it been solved, right? We can’t just talk about military matters on paper like Zhao Kuo, and delay military matters."
After Li Min finished speaking, he pretended to be honest again, while Li Chengqian looked at them and smiled lightly.
"Since the two brothers have such confidence, then I have to put more burdens on the two brothers. Now the two brothers are only good at Chang'an city defense and various things in Chang'an, but I think the two brothers have such Ambition, then I will actually give you some troops and let you command them, and then I will arrange some tasks for you and you can carry them out, is that okay?"
Although Li Chengqian's tone was inquiring, Li You and Li Min would not let go of such an opportunity.
"Thank you so much for your generous gift, Your Highness."
Li You and Li Min both thanked their good brother, now the Tang Prince Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian looked at them and waved his hands.
"They are all my brothers
Brother, I will still count on you in the future. Can’t I believe my own brothers and believe those outsiders? "
Although Li Chengqian behaved very casually, he intentionally or unintentionally drew closer to the two brothers. However, Li Min and Li You are not three-year-old children, and they all have their own ideas. Although they are quite respectful to Li Chengqian on the surface, But what happened behind the scenes is unknown.
But just when Li You and Li Min thanked Li Chengqian in front of Li Chengqian for believing in them and arranging real tasks for them, Li Chengqian looked at them and started talking.
"Brothers, Qin Huaiyu will return to Chang'an City with one of my Tiance guard horses in a few days."
After Li Chengqian said these words, Li You and Li Min couldn't help but be shocked.
Wait, Qin Huaiyu?
It seems like this kid hasn't been in Chang'an City for a long time.
The last time the Western Turk Khan defeated Sili and raised troops, he was still stationed in Dongzhou with his father and missed the opportunity to send troops. However, he came back after the defeat of Sili in the north.
But he mysteriously disappeared after coming to Chang'an, and his people were quite few, and they were all his father's soldiers. Where did he form a Tiance Guard?
Aren't all the Tiance Guards arranged to go to the North to meet Li Chengqian's master, Anbei King Li Ying? How is this going?
Li You and Li Min looked at each other. Although they were not hostile to each other yet, they still had the status of brothers. They could see what was going on and ask questions if they didn't know anything. This was also a good habit.
But just after Li Min and Li You looked at each other, they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Yes, they don't even know what's going on now.
This Tiance Guard actually has soldiers and horses?
And Li Chengqian seemed to have seen their surprise and happily explained to them without taking it seriously.
"I will tell my two brothers now that my father once gave me a special order to let my Tiance Guards choose some strategic locations, battlegrounds for military strategists, arrange for manpower to be stationed, and then form a team at the original location. One Tiance Guard team after another.
If our Tiance Guards had not rushed north to fight against the ungrateful Western Turks, we would not have these thousands of troops now, but tens of thousands of troops. "
Li Chengqian gave Li You and Li Min a clear understanding at once, and Li You and Li Min didn't ask any more questions.
They are not idiots. If they ask too many questions, they will appear to have some agenda.
It would be best to ignore it now and just wait quietly for Li Chengqian's explanation. While they were waiting for Li Chengqian's explanation, or to arrange new tasks, their brains began to calculate quickly again.
The manpower Li Chengqian can use. Changsun Chong. Cheng Chumo, Xue Li, Zhao Dong, Yuchi Baolin, Qin Huaiyu, Li Chengcheng.
These people are all the top among Tiance Guards. Regiment commander and battalion commander, and below them there are many company commanders.
These people hurriedly began to figure out who among these company commanders had not returned. They had not seen them in Chang'an City for a while.
This thought made my head hurt.
It seemed that they had never met many people, and this time Xue Li only went out with...
etc!
When Xue Li went out this time, none of the battalion commanders seemed to be following him except for Chang Sun Chong and Zhao Dong who took the first step.
In addition, Qin Huaiyu has appeared now, and there are three battalion commanders outside.
One of these three battalion commanders is Yuchi Baolin, who will definitely not betray Li Chengqian no matter what.
There are two other sons of the princes of the Li family. They will remain neutral. As long as the new emperor ascends the throne, they will not do anything if it does not affect their interests. But where is Yuchi Baolin?
secretly? Or aboveboard?
What do you want to do secretly?
Where is the aboveboardness?
Will you come back to us suddenly?
several
Thoughts quickly flashed through the minds of Li You and Li Min, but they were not idiots. They knew that now was not the time to ask these questions. Instead, they should immediately take the order and go back to their mansion to let their think tanks and themselves His confidants checked for themselves the location of these people.
If he suddenly becomes unfavorable to Li Chengqian, if Li Chengqian runs out of Chang'an and randomly gathers the troops of Tiance Guard outside, this is not a force that he can ignore.
What's more, Tian Cewei, the regiment commander and battalion commander. The arrangement made by Li Ying, Li Chengqian's master, was too reasonable. Some of them were from Li Tang's clan, and a few were the sons of Li Shimin's favorite generals. Although they were not from Li Tang's clan, they still held a lot of weight in Li Shimin's heart. Not low either, and there are also the descendants of Li Chengqian's relatives and elders.
Like Changsun Chong.
This is Li Chengqian's cousin, not theirs.
This is interesting.
However, Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two people, and instead spoke.
"When Qin Huaiyu comes back, I will ask each of them to allocate five hundred soldiers and horses to you. How about having a position among my Tiance Guards?"
But just after Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Min and Li You looked at Li Chengqian a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness, this is a bit too much. Qin Huaiyu seems to be the battalion commander, and his troops are only about 500 people. It is unreasonable for you to ask him to assign 500 of us to Qin Huaiyu's command at his disposal. "
Li Min and Li You spoke out against Li Chengqian, which was a test to see how many soldiers and horses he could command as a battalion commander, and also to predict how many soldiers and horses those who went out and did not appear in the capital would command.
However, Li Chengqian didn't say anything more to them, and instead changed the subject.
"Since these two brothers are like this, I will let you go to the prince's guard, and let the champion Hou Lizhong of the prince's guard command each of you to arrange five hundred soldiers and horses at your disposal. What do you two think?"
After Li Chengqian talked about Prince Wei Shu again, Li You and Li Min couldn't help but look at each other.
Yes, Prince Wei has made a difference, and all of them are not descendants of the family.
Then Li You and Li Min looked at Li Chengqian and smiled.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness."
And Li Chengqian didn't care much about their compliments to him, "We are all brothers, why are we so unreasonable? I also trouble these two good brothers from time to time. Please forgive me!"
After Li Chengqian sent the two people away politely, several Jinyi guards quickly emerged from the black shadows.
Seeing their anxious looks, Li Chengqian asked hurriedly.
"How is the situation in the Northland?"
But before they could answer, Li Chengqian asked another question.
"And you are keeping an eye on my two brothers. Is there anything special happening during their patrols in Chang'an City? I am very concerned about them."
This concern does require some research.
