On the grassland where Xu Yunyan was, Xue Li, Zhao Dong and others were arranged to go and find out why the wolves were inexplicably attacking in one direction.
After Xue Li and Zhao Dong discovered the reason, they took advantage of the moonlight to rush towards the location of the culprit they had searched. In the southwest, when the sun was about to rise again on a new day, Li Chengqian saw Li Xiaocong, the leader of the auspicious army and the city guard standing next to him, chuckled.
"I didn't expect that these foreigners, Xiaoxiao, who are really strong but capable, have been outside the city all night and did not attack the city. Instead, we have prepared all the equipment to defend the city. Under such circumstances, even if they want to attack the city, they will not be able to attack the city. It can't be so easy, what if there is an elephant? It's just like the leader of the Auspicious Army said, in our eyes it's just a food delivery."
But just as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the leader of the auspicious army hurriedly spoke next to Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is ridiculous. This food is also eaten by rough guys like us, but it cannot enter your Highness's golden mouth. This food is not delicious."
Li Chengqian chuckled, "Is there such a thing? Chief, you are really attentive. Having a general like you is a blessing to the Tang Dynasty."
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the leader of the auspicious army scratched his head, "Your Highness, please don't call me the leader one after another. I can't be such a leader. Being able to serve under His Highness is a blessing that I have cultivated for three generations." point."
When the leader of the auspicious army said this, Li Chengqian looked at him and comforted him.
"Don't worry, I will give you the honor you deserve and the status you deserve. I won't let you pay in vain without getting anything."
Li Chengqian had just expressed his opinion, and Li Xiaocong was also comforting the leader of the Xiangrui Army.
"Chief, don't worry. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince's eloquent words will make things difficult for you?"
But after Li Xiaocong and Li Chengqian said something to each other, the leader was even more grateful.
"Your Highness, I am a sinner with no name and no past. I want to live a new life. I wonder if Your Highness can give me a new name. From now on, I will serve His Highness. If anyone dares to fight against His Highness, Enemy, I will take care of him cleanly on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince."
The leader of the auspicious army suddenly made a grand appearance in front of Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian looked at him and nodded.
"I know what you are thinking about. Don't worry, since I have said what I said, I will definitely do it and I won't embarrass you.".Ь.
Li Chengqian couldn't help expressing his feelings in front of Xiang Ruijun, and in order to dispel the scruples of the leader of Xiang Ruijun, he suddenly said something.
"You want a new start, but how about I give you the surname Li?"
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Xiaocong patted the leader of the Xiangrui Army from the side.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave you the surname Li. Why don't you hurry up and thank me?"
The leader of the auspicious army knelt down with a plop when he heard this.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I never thought that I, an old killer, would be rewarded by His Highness the Crown Prince in the end. I must be following His Highness the Prince. I will hit wherever His Highness the Crown Prince points. Anyone who is the enemy of His Highness the Crown Prince will be killed." They are just enemies of us."
The leader of the auspicious army had little knowledge, so he could not help but express his importance in the heart of the prince Li Chengqian, so that the prince Li Chengqian could remember him. Li Chengqian looked at him like this and smiled.
"Okay, get up. Since you chose to be loyal to me, I will definitely let you get rewards beyond your imagination. But you were given the surname Li by me and you don't have a name, right? What was your previous name?"
After Li Chengqian asked, the leader of the auspicious army hurriedly expressed his views in front of Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, I have done a lot of wrong things in the past because of my confusion. But if Your Highness can forgive these things, I will let them go. Then I will start over. Now I only have one surname. I hope that Your Highness can Give me a name, I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince can agree?"
Li Chengqian looked at the leader of the Auspicious Rui Army standing in front of him with a hopeful look on his face, while Li Xiaocong next to him also nodded to Li Chengqian in a subtle way.
What a bargain it is to be able to gain the absolute allegiance of an army by giving a name.
Li Chengqian touched his chin there, "My master's name is Li Ying, and I have a central subordinate Li Zhong. How about I call you Li Yi? Zhongyi's righteousness, I hope you can be my right-hand man like Li Zhong, and now Li Zhong is ranked among the champions, I believe you will definitely reach his level in the future."
After Xu Yunyan's rank was inherited by Li Zhong, Li Chengqian once again created an opponent for Li Zhong, which no one expected.
The leader of the auspicious army had never thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would give him such a high honor. That was the name that was tied with the Champion. The Champion was called Li Zhong, and his name was Li Yi. Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince meant that the Champion was His Highness the Crown Prince. His right-hand man, and I will also be His Highness the Crown Prince’s right-hand man in the future.
"In this case, when young Li Yi meets His Highness the Crown Prince, he will definitely make the Xiangrui Army a sharp blade in the hands of His Highness. Wherever His Highness the Crown Prince wants to go, I will definitely be able to kill the Xiangrui Army."
"very good."
Li Chengqian sincerely praised Xiangrui Jun, then looked at Li Yi and started talking again.
"But now we must preserve our strength, destroy the enemy as much as possible, and destroy their country and their clan. Although I can relieve you of your guilt, after all, many of the things the Xiangrui Army did violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty. .
If you want to completely cleanse them, you have to enter the territory of the small country that came to attack our Tang Dynasty and completely destroy them. In this case, not only will you have no fault but also merit, and you will also be able to get rewards and serve as a blessing to your descendants. Gain a good reputation. "
"Don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince asks us to do so, we will do what His Highness the Crown Prince says."
The leader of the auspicious army, Li Yi, slapped his chest in front of Li Chengqian without even thinking. He would do what Li Chengqian said no matter what. Just after the leader of the auspicious army gave his assurance, some soldiers quickly left the main hall. Outside rushed in.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Seeing the soldiers rushing in, the leader of the Xiangrui Army and Li Xiaocong hurriedly stepped aside and asked him to report the situation to Li Chengqian.
The soldiers did not disappoint Li Chengqian and hurriedly spoke in front of Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, the enemy troops outside the city are showing signs of attacking the city."
"Oh? Are they coming to attack the city?"
Li Chengqian looked into the distance playfully, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes. Finally, he stood up solemnly and spoke to Li Xiaocong beside him.
"Brother, just prepare as we just said."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned his head to Li Yi. xь.
"Li Yi, this is the first battle for the Xiangrui Army to enter an enemy country. Don't let me down."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do these things properly and won't let anyone say inappropriate words."
"very good."
Li Chengqian sighed again, and everyone promised that they had done a good job, and then led Li Xiaocong and Li Yi out of the palace at the same time.
But as soon as he came out, Li Xiaocong tried to persuade Li Chengqian.
"His Royal Highness, the city is dangerous. Please don't go to the city again, otherwise you won't be hurt at all." Xiu Shuzhu
Li Yi also said hurriedly, "Your Highness, just look at it. As long as the enemy army is defeated in one battle, we can rush out and kill them in one fell swoop. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is of high status and should not personally take risks on the top of the city. In such a situation What should we do if we suffer a little bit of damage?"
Li Chengqian smiled as he looked at Li Xiaocong and Li Yi who couldn't help but persuade him.
"You are just thinking too much. How could I be injured so easily? I have participated in several battles, large and small. As you all know, first Dongzhou pacified the Japanese country, and then went north to fight against the Western Turks. These two Didn’t I come out of the battle with no damage at all?
And I'm not a weak scholar, not to mention that I'm standing on top of the city. Is there any need to talk about the morale of our sons? "
Li Chengqian didn’t do it at all
Heeding the dissuasion of the two men, they insisted on climbing to the top of the city. Everyone had no choice but to accompany Li Chengqian to the top of the city, but Li Xiaocong kept mumbling from behind.
"I agreed to play the drum, but now that I have come to the city in person, if something unexpected happens, won't my father hang me up and beat me until my mother doesn't even recognize me?"
Li Xiaocong suddenly said this, and Li Chengqian chuckled. Li Xiaocong, who was not much older than himself, but had been guarding the border for several years and had grown up quite quickly, spoke kindly again.
"Brother, why should I be so worried? If something happens to me, it's my destiny and I won't blame my brother. I will explain it."
At this moment, Li Xiaocong's heart was pounding, but he didn't want to be clumsy. If such a situation really happened, even if His Highness the Crown Prince would say it, would his father listen?
Although I will definitely carry out His Highness the Crown Prince's orders in name, it is natural for me to beat my son, and His Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do with it.
Li Xiaocong felt a chill in his back, so he had to guard Li Chengqian carefully, while Li Yi had already gathered his auspicious army team, ready to rush out of the city after defeating the enemy.
Soon, the enemy's army arrived under the city, watching the rows and rows of elephants slowly rushing towards the city head under the control of people and in accordance with people's requirements. Behind them were people holding simple elephants. Soldiers with shields and engineering equipment, Li Chengqian waved to Li Xiaocong next to him.
Li Xiaocong hurried to the side of the city and waved his hand. The simple catapult designed by Xu Yunyan, which Li Chengqian asked them to make and was rushed out by many auspicious soldiers under the city, began to show its power.
One after another, the huge rocks were sent to the catapult by the Xiangrui army, and then the catapult threw them like elephants in the distance. Although these elephants were covered with heavy armor, how could they withstand such a huge stone? Stone attack?
Soon, several elephants were knocked to the ground, and many other infantry died tragically under the rocks. This scene made the king watching the battle even more worried.
However, he also discovered that the stone flew out very slowly, so he couldn't help but pull out the curve of his waist, pointed in front and shouted loudly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, rush under the city and attack the city wall. They won't be able to use this stone to attack anymore."
