His Royal Highness came to the border and guarded the border with them.
This real situation truly appeared in front of the Xiangrui Army.
After Li Chengqian arrived, the leaders of the auspicious army were all impressed by Li Chengqian's boldness. They brought all their confidants to Li Chengqian and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"The guilty people have seen His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince can uphold justice for us and give us a way to live. We will follow His Highness the Crown Prince to the death. Your Highness the Crown Prince will live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
Li Chengqian looked at the leader of the auspicious army who came to see him and the backbone of the auspicious army, and couldn't help but smile.
"Everyone, please get up. You are all benevolent and righteous people of the Tang Dynasty. You are so bullied by those corrupt officials, bullies and hateful squires in this remote rural area. You are too late.
If Gu Zao had known these things and would have come to seek justice for you in advance, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
But now it’s good for all the bees to return astray. I, Li Chengqian, pardon you as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. I will never hold you accountable for any fault. If you violate this word, heaven and earth will punish you. "
After Li Chengqian said these words, all the auspicious troops at the scene couldn't help but cheer. They were afraid that if they did something like this, Li Chengqian, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, would pursue them.
But now Li Chengqian doesn't pursue their faults at all. Instead, he admits that they did the right thing, which makes these people support Li Chengqian from the bottom of their hearts and secretly make up their minds.
If anyone dares to disobey His Highness the Crown Prince, if anyone dares to be an enemy of His Highness the Crown Prince, they are their enemies.
Even if their strength is not high, even if their abilities are a bit lacking, they still have the heart to fight any enemy until the end.
Li Chengqian easily regained the auspicious army. This was something no one expected. Even the city guard was a little stunned.
When Li Chengqian calmed down the Xiangrui army and asked about the war on the border, the city guard finally came to his senses and hurriedly came to kneel down in front of Li Chengqian.
"The last general has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian looked at this somewhat familiar person and asked curiously.
"You look familiar to me. Are you related to a certain general in the Tiance Guard?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general is Li Xiaocong, the second son of General Li Shentong."
"I see. I'm just saying that you look quite familiar. It turns out you are my brother. Brother, please accept my respects from my younger brother."
Li Chengqian didn't have the airs of a prince at all. After hearing that the person in front of him was his elder brother, he hurriedly saluted.
Although Li Chengqian is now married and has a child, he has been here for many years after all. He is the younger generation of many generals in the clan. Who wants his father to be younger than their parents?
Li Xiaocong didn't dare to accept it this time.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is ridiculous. I am just a small border guard. How can I be treated like such a great gift by Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Li Chengqian shook his head.
"You do. You are the son of an important general in my clan. How come you don't deserve such a great gift? What's more, you fought bloody battles for the Tang Dynasty on the border and fought with such a small force until this moment. You should be treated as a gift by Li Chengqian. Otherwise, If so, Cheng Qian will not be able to get over it."
The conversation between Li Chengqian and Li Xiaocong made the Xiangrui army next to them tremble. They did not expect that the border guard who was almost killed on the battlefield was actually a general of the clan. They rushed and killed each other. , it can be said that it is against the temper.
The backbone of the auspicious army was quite satisfied when they saw Li Xiaocong, and came to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Good boy, I didn't expect you to have such a status and be able to achieve such a step. I admire you and feel how lucky you are to be able to join Li Tang."
This sudden scene made Li Chengqian even more happy, but not long after they were happy, soldiers came to report.
"General, the enemy troops outside the city are showing signs of attacking again."
At this moment, Li Chengqian immediately straightened his expression and looked at the people in front of him.
"Everyone, now is not the time for us to celebrate, but to completely wipe out these alien tribesmen, then subjugate their country, turn their land into Datang counties, and let everyone bathe in the heaven of Datang. Under the power, there will be no more wars in the future.”
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Xiaocong hurriedly came out of the queue.
"What His Highness the Crown Prince said is true. The general will definitely follow His Highness the Crown Prince to completely destroy the enemy country, so that they can invade our Tang Dynasty again and make our people suffer."
The leader of the auspicious army also came out, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is generous. Although the small one has no merit in terms of size, it only caused a lot of trouble for His Highness the Crown Prince. However, I am willing to lead my subordinates as a vanguard to completely solve them."
Li Chengqian waved his hand, "Don't rush to talk about how to attack them now. Let's go to the top of the city to see what the enemy forces look like. We can make preparations accordingly so that we can completely eliminate them at the minimum cost. You guys Each one of them is a precious asset to our Datang, and I don’t want any harm to you.”
Li Chengqian's words moved everyone in front of them. They did not expect that Li Chengqian would be so easy to talk to, and they did not expect that Li Chengqian would praise them so much.
They were just grassroots, and no one cared about their life or death. They had already caused a lot of trouble. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince was kind enough not to pursue them. Now that they are favored by Li Chengqian, they cannot be allowed to suffer unnecessary casualties. Everyone was even more excited and couldn't help but sigh, they must be following Li Chengqian's lead. If anyone has different intentions, let alone Li Chengqian's treatment of them, they themselves can't spare them.
However, Li Chengqian was intercepted by Li Xiaocong when he wanted to go to the top of the city.
"Your Majesty, the city is dangerous. How can you personally board the city?"
But Li Chengqian looked at Li Xiaocong and smiled.
"Brother, you are thinking too much. Since the city is dangerous, why do you want to go? Isn't it just to protect your family and country? I, Li Chengqian, am someone special, why can't I go? What's more, I Don't go up to the city to see how we can arrange the troops. Although I know you think that His Highness the Prince may not understand military affairs, I also led the team north to fight against the Western Turks, and I have also been on the battlefield with real swords and spears. of."
Li Chengqian's words directly and automatically filtered out things in Dongzhou. After all, how could a small country in Dongzhou be remembered by Li Chengqian?
They were forgotten, that was normal.
If Li Chengqian kept talking about the destruction of the Japanese state in Dongzhou, it would not necessarily make these Japanese people feel any kind of mood.
Li Xiaocong was about to stop Li Chengqian again, but Li Chengqian looked at him and shook his head.
"I have made up my mind. I must go to the top of the city. I want to be with you. Even if I cannot go into battle to kill the enemy in person, I can still beat the drum to cheer you up."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, we will do our best to protect the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Xiaocong wanted to stop him some more, but the leader of the Xiangrui Army came forward to reunite Li Chengqian.
No matter what, he would ensure Li Chengqian's safety and would not let any accidents happen to Li Chengqian. At this time, Li Xiaocong agreed or disagreed. In the end, he had no choice but to sigh and let Li Chengqian do his thing. The only thing Li Xiaocong could do was to follow Li Chengqian and not let any other unexpected things happen to Li Chengqian.
After Li Chengqian climbed to the top of the city, he couldn't help but feel a little curious when he looked at the teams in the distance who were ready to attack at any time.
"Who are those huge things in the distance?"
After Li Chengqian asked, Li Xiaocong hurriedly explained to him beside Li Chengqian.
"Those are foreign elephants, and they are covered in armor. It is difficult for us to attack them."
However, the leader of the Xiangrui Army did explain again, "They have also killed these elephants. Of course, the ones they killed were those without leather armor. This is one of their food sources."
Just when he heard that there was no way to solve it with armor on, Li Chengqian suddenly said, "I remember that my father once encountered a chain of iron armor when he attacked Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and finally defeated the enemy by chopping off the horse's legs."
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Xiaocong and the leader of the Xiangrui Army were indeed a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, the legs of this elephant are so thick."
The two compared the thickness of the pillar, which made Li Chengqian a little embarrassed, "Really? Is that what happened? Then we have to use other methods to deal with them. I remember that my master once wrote a book "Three Kingdoms" Romance"."
Li Chengqian suddenly thought of one thing, that is Li Chengqian's master Li Ying. He once wrote a book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This book was only circulated among the upper class Li Shimin and other generals of the Tang Army. As Li Chengqian's master wrote this book, Li Chengqian also saw it. Among them There is a section where Meng Huo was captured seven times.
And isn't the target of the Seven Captures of Meng Huo the ancestors of the leaders of the auspicious army in the southwest?
After thinking of this, Li Chengqian directly told the plot of the Seven Captures of Meng Huo, which made everyone intoxicated. However, after Li Chengxian finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Chengqian with their eyes wide open.
"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this? The enemy is coming to attack, do we have to give them a trick of seven captures and seven maneuvers to completely recapture them?
But we seem to have no way to crack their elephant now, right? "
Li Xiaocong expressed his doubts, but Li Chengqian laughed.
"Simple, I remember that there is a scene where Wuhou burns the vine-armored soldiers. Since Wuhou can burn the vine-armored soldiers, why can't we, Wuhou, burn these elephants? I remember that as long as they are animals, they are afraid of fire. If we What would it be like to defeat them all with fire?"
Just after Li Chengqian finished speaking, the people in front of Li Chengqian couldn't help but cheer, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a man of gods. He came up with such a proper method in one go. Since there is such a proper method, then we will prepare according to what His Highness the Prince said." The flammable items must completely eliminate these elephants, making this alien race think twice about becoming our enemy."
Soon, everyone started to implement Li Chengqian's arrangements and began to prepare flammable items to burn the elephants outside the city.
But just as everyone was preparing, Li Chengqian called Li Xiaocong to make arrangements, asking him to arrange for a trustworthy person to bring the news that he was safe and sound to Hou Junji, and asked Hou Junji to hide the news about himself. See if anyone will jump out and cause trouble to Tang Jun.
