Of course this Niu Laohan can use a large number of troops, but he must also be famous.
Originally, at the end of the year, disaster relief had drained the national treasury, and then launching a large-scale military campaign for a bandit's stronghold was really a waste of business.
Not to mention the expense of money, but also if the battle is not done well, it will be a serious matter for military reputation!
When the time comes, the people will not recognize you as a hill that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
That is to say, the army has been defeated. A group of regular soldiers is worse than a den of bandits.
Just when the monarch and his ministers were discussing how to capture Luoxishan, the guards outside the door made an energetic announcement.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Yaojin, the Duke of Suzhou, and his son are here to see you outside the palace~"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and then said with a dark face: "Xuan!"
Several generals sitting next to him suddenly raised their eyes.
The old Cheng family was embarrassed this time. It was a huge humiliation. It was a naked slap in the face.
It seems that Lao Cheng came here with his son to appease the Sacred Heart.
Outside the hall, Cheng Yaojin pulled Cheng Chumo, who was already trapped and tied up, in from the outside.
Cheng Chumo's face had been beaten to the shape of a pig's head, with bruises and bruises, and the left cheek was swollen like something.
A perfect interpretation of a sentence, even the father who was beaten didn’t even recognize it...
After entering the palace, Cheng Yaojin kicked his son to the ground, which hurt when he saw it.
"Wei Chen pays homage to Your Majesty. The traitor has ruined the power of the Xuanjia Army. Wei Chen specially brings the traitor here to accept the crime!"
The voice is upright, full of energy, and the words are righteous~
Li Shimin glanced at him angrily, and was immediately frightened by this boy's appearance.
Good guy, this old bandit really doesn’t spare any effort~
Cheng Chumo knelt on the ground, looking at the dome of Chengqing Hall, his eyes blank. If the floor of Chengqing Hall hadn't been so tight, he would have wanted to dig through a crack in the ground.
Fortunately, children from the old Cheng family have strong inner qualities. Children from other families would have collapsed long ago...
"Cheng Zhijie, oh, of course Cheng Chumo had his fault, but he had to plead guilty on his own, what? Do you want to accept the crime with him?"
Li Shimin smiled jokingly and said with a dark face.
The day before yesterday, the Xuanjia Army conquered Luoxi Mountain for three days without success. Cheng Chumo patrolled around the mountain and found a hidden cliff opening at the west pass. He immediately issued a military order and directly led a hundred Xuanjia troops to attack from the west pass, preparing to kill. He was caught off guard.
But who would have thought that the Xishankou of Luoxi Mountain was a trap set by bandits. One hundred Xuanjia troops were all retreated before they could fight. More than ten Xuanjia troops fell off the cliff, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
There were also many serious and minor injuries. The leader, Colonel Yihui, would naturally be severely punished. According to military orders, he should be beheaded on the spot due to rationality.
But this is the son of Duke Su, and he can only be kidnapped back to wait for the Lord to punish him.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Cheng Chumo could only be beaten and punished a few times, but it was really impossible to kill him.
Who can blame this? He comes from a good background~
"Your Majesty, I have failed to teach my son well and am willing to be punished!"
Cheng Yaojin slapped his chest, as if I was his father and I should admit my mistake.
With that look, if it weren't for that big bearded face, others would almost believe it...
"Hmph~"
Li Shimin waved his sleeves and stood up. How could he not know that this old boy was just pretending?
"Okay, stop pretending. I'm very busy all day now. I can't defeat a mere copycat. Isn't it a shame? Are you just giving me some trouble?"
It turned out that there were some old acquaintances around. No wonder Cheng Yaojin burst out laughing when he saw that Li Shimin didn't have the strength to go through this formality.
"It's okay, Your Majesty. If I can't help it, I, Old Cheng, can go there. It's just a small village. I can bring my own bodyguards to calm him down! After all, I, Old Cheng, won't lose to anyone when attacking mountains and high ground!"
Li Shimin chuckled: "Is a small village worth your money?"
This old guy is really good at calculating.
But~
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly...
If this old gangster is allowed to go, he can really do it in the name of avenging his son, and he won't have to use troops.
It is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, both for the court and for public opinion~
Although he didn't know that Cheng Yaojin, an old boy, wanted to earn a lot of fame, why did he think so much about it now?
Moreover, when bandits fight bandits, don’t they know the secret behind it themselves?
Li Shimin paced and then spoke loudly.
"Cheng Chumo deserves to be punished, but... I will respond accordingly and let his merits and demerits be balanced. This bandit from Luoxishan has embarrassed the Cheng family, so I will give you a chance to regain your face!"
"Hehe, thank you, Your Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I, Old Cheng, will definitely lead people to remove the bandits' den in Luoxishan. In this bright world, how can there still be bandits causing trouble!"
Several generals discussing matters around him couldn't help but twitch their mouths, and all of them, including Li Shimin, turned to Cheng Yaojin at the same time.
Aren't you the only biggest bandit causing trouble in Chang'an?
…
Time passed slowly, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Jinghe Village.
"I'm like a fish in your lotus pond, just because..."
It was early in the morning, and Tang Sufan slowly got up and started a new day in Maodong.
As soon as I came into the yard humming a little tune, there was a knock on the door.
"Xiu Niang, please do your work first, I'll open the door~"
Seeing that Xiu Niang was about to come out of the kitchen, he quickly opened the door. Tang Sufan, who was exercising in the yard, came close to the door and greeted Xiu Niang.
Open the door yourself~
"After swimming through four seasons, the lotus flowers are still fragrant and quiet~"
Everyone has memories of classic episodes. Recently, Tang Sufan likes to hum some popular songs of the older generation.
He was humming an uneven tune and slowly opened the door.
"Fuck!!!"
As soon as the door opened, Tang Sufan was so frightened that he almost slapped him and shouted at him!
The first thing that caught his eye was a face like a big pie, like a pig's head, which can be said to be very distinctive.
If you go to a certain village in the middle of the night, there will definitely be rumors of something haunted in that village the next day.
Tang Sufan thought he had recruited something dirty——
"(Fan Ge) Brother Fan, (Siwo) it's me~"
Finally, the owner with the pig-headed face smiled uglier than crying, and said in a voice that could only clearly understand the general meaning.
Tang Sufan twitched the corner of his mouth and asked quickly: "Who are you?"
Was this still the result of being shot down?
Later, Tang Sufan saw Yuchi Baolin, Li Deyu and Fang Yiai, the only one of the two brothers behind this person.
The brothers are holding back their laughter. It looks like it’s quite hard...
So Tang Sufan probably knows who it is~
"It's like a nest (it's me), it's like a nest (it's me), it's like a nest (Cheng Chumo...)"
Tang Sufan:. . . .
after a little while,
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Tang Sufan's eyes looked at Cheng Chumo's face with an appraising look, and he circled around Cheng Chumo twice. "Good guy, this guy has been reborn."
"I said Chu Mo, your father was too cruel, wasn't he? What did you do? Can he beat you like this?"
Cheng Chumo said in a confused tone: "Fan Ge (Brother Fan), why are your fingertips swollen and your back wrinkled? (How did you know I was beaten by my father)?"
"Nonsense, by the way, you guys, please explain, what's going on with his mouth? Is he talking about anything?"
Come on, the entire Chang'an City can beat you, the scourge of Chang'an City, into this, and also allow you to come to my place safely, who else but your father can do it?
If it were someone else, you would have done it with a knife long ago...
