Another thoughtful person asked one more question: "Would you like to invite Mrs. Yu and Li to come with Mr. Wei?"
Li Shimin said without hesitation: "This is natural!"
…
When Xiao Mingze saw that Teng Zhong was trying to get him away, he knew that there must be someone in the city who could see through his identity, but... who could it be?
When walking to the resting place with Xiaoqi, she asked softly.
Xiao Qi then summarized the current situation in Dezhou City and told her in a few words.
Xiao Mingze could almost immediately conclude that there must be a big change in Texas tonight!
What kind of person is Li Changsheng? He is a born adventurer, bold and cautious, and dares to gamble and rush. Back then, he was alone in King Wei's army, and he dared to take him away. Now that he is on par with King Ji in Dezhou City, there is no reason to retreat. ?
It must be done once!
Unknown results can make people fearful, but established news can make people feel relieved. Xiao Mingze no longer has any worries, and he and Xiao Qi arrive at the place. At a distance, they see servants holding lanterns, surrounding a person. The young woman was waiting at the door.
Xiao Mingze hurriedly urged his horse to take a few steps to rush over, dismounted, and stepped forward to meet him.
She naturally knew Yu Yingying. Although she was not very familiar with him in the past, the latter lived in her uncle's house, and the two families had a lot of contacts, so they would always have social interactions.
Xiao Mingze was a naturally intelligent person, and Yu Yingying was good at dancing and well-rounded. They both wanted to build a good relationship. After meeting, we exchanged a few words of greeting, which really meant that they had similar interests.
Yu Yingying didn't say a word that would be embarrassing. She took her hand and went into the inner room to eat fruit. By chance, she saw Wei Xuancheng coming from the corridor, and her eyelids twitched. .
When it was known that the sworn brother was going to Qingzhou to find a girl, Wei Xuancheng strongly opposed it. However, the sworn brother refused to comply and finally left, which made Wei Xuancheng hate her. I have been complaining in my ears for several days, saying that heroes are short of breath but children love each other long.
Today I met the wife of the Xiao family, the real master, but I didn’t know what she would say.
Yu Yingying could only hope that Mr. Wei would understand the ways of the world, and was secretly ready to smooth things over. When she saw Wei Xuancheng coming here to meet her, the two of them were stunned. All ready to speak.
Unexpectedly, the other party stared at Xiao Mingze for a few times, but there was a hint of nostalgia in his expression.
"This lady looks kind-hearted..."
Xiao Mingze heard about Wei Xuancheng's name and also knew that this person was taken under Li Changsheng's command and was not an outsider, so he calmly made a blessing ceremony and said: "My mother is the eldest princess of Xinchang , my father’s surname is Xiao, maybe I have met Mr. somewhere before.”
Wei Xuancheng hurriedly returned the gift and said, "That's probably it. Madam, please go and have a rest. Wei won't bother you anymore."
Xiao Mingze smiled: "Sir, walk slowly."
Wei Xuancheng originally wanted to nod, but for some reason, he hesitated for a moment, and somehow, by some strange combination of circumstances, he bowed his hand to her again.
He thought to himself: Wei Mousheng has such a photographic memory. If he had seen him before, I would not be unimpressed. But when I saw him today, he looked so kind.
Thinking about it this way, it's really strange.
Could it be that I have met her in my previous life and received her favor?
Wei Xuancheng suppressed this doubt for the time being and climbed to the second floor to look far into the distance - just like Xiao Mingze knew that Li Changsheng was a human being, how could he not know?
Dezhou, will this be Li Changsheng's land of dragon prosperity?
Wei Xuancheng was waiting for the final result, and Li Changsheng did not disappoint him.
About an hour later, someone came to report: "The general invites Mr. Wei and Mrs. Li Yu to come to the banquet!"
Wei Xuancheng's eyes lit up - Dezhou has been acquired, big things can be accomplished!
…
The food and wine prepared by King Ji earlier had worked, but the guests who came here were very different from what he had imagined.
The counselors and generals under Li Shimin, the old ministers of the former Dezhou faction, and those who recently surrendered to King Ji...
Li Shimin treated everyone equally regardless of his closeness, and toasted to each other one after another. But when everyone saw him saying a few words, they decided that King Ji was a fake, and eradicated him in less than an hour. They admired his ability and were afraid of his strength. There was a lot of admiration and praise.
If the man is in love and the concubine is interested, it is normal for the guests and the host to have a great time while drinking and drinking.
Qian Lun, the former governor of Dezhou, is dead, and Li Shimin, the newly appointed governor, has become the highest official. After the banquet, he did not go to rest, but all his confidants were arrested and worked overtime.
Inventory the existing ordnance and armor, grain, grass and baggage in Texas, the number of households, water conservancy and farmland, and even the soldiers of various ministries...
Needless to say, counselors like Wei Xuancheng, Pang Ying, who was favored by Li Shimin, was also captured and worked for Wei. Even Xiao Mingze and Yu Yingying were not spared, and the account book was stuffed Go over and ask for help with the accounting.
"Good guy, I call you good guy!"
Li Yuanda was speechless and said: "Brother, do you even want to send the horse in the stable to run around twice so that he can measure how big Dezhou City is for you?"
"I said it's not necessary," Liu Che said, holding his forehead and saying, "Quickly stop your stupid behavior!"
Zhu Yuanzhang:?
A question mark slowly appeared on the top of his head.
Got offended!
Ying Zheng was very considerate: "How could you have thought so much in the beginning? If you don't want to turn against the King of Wei immediately, you must report Qian Lun's death and King Ji's changes to him. When the King of Wei hears the news, he will inevitably A new governor will be sent to take charge of the affairs. If we cannot seize the time to take control of the military and political power of Dezhou, the days to come will be very difficult."
Li Shimin took some time out of his busy schedule to reply: "That's exactly it!"
Everyone stayed up all night, and by the early morning of the second day, when the rest of the people were hungover and dizzy, Li Shimin issued orders in a rapid-fire manner.
The patrol troops in Dezhou City were mobilized, and the care of grain, grass and baggage was reorganized. Yu Yingying was appointed to assist in the taxation and treasury matters. Finally, the duties of the city officials were disrupted to allow emerging forces to participate. Regroup.
After a series of punches, everyone was stunned.
Of course, people from the original Jiwang faction and Li Shimin faction had no objections, but people from the original Dezhou faction were dissatisfied.
Just as the words of rejection came to her lips, Yu Yingying opened her mouth with a smile, pointedly pointed out several loopholes in the account book, and said hypocritically: "No one wants this to happen, little girl. Thinking about it, I don’t need to tell my uncle that he knows..."
The people from the Texas faction just stopped talking.
The emperor and his ministers are like this in the court, and this is especially true in Texas.
Most of the local officials had some quarrel with the former governor Qian Lun, and there were even some relatives who had the Chang family's eight poles to fight. This time the Chang family fell, Qian Lun was implicated, and they felt guilty, so they did not dare to jump. Too high.
Furthermore, King Wei is their real master - Yu Yingying is King Wei's adopted daughter, and she is highly valued by King Wei and his son. Why offend her for the inherently unstable power!
Then he admitted the matter honestly.
There were originally 50,000 troops stationed in Dezhou, but Li Shimin brought over 30,000, and King Ji brought over 40,000. After excluding those who could not be used, a hundred thousand troops could be gathered.
Just talking about the quality... it's better not to talk about it.
Especially the soldiers of King Ji and the original Dezhou faction.
Li Shimin was not afraid either.
How can there be any strong soldiers and generals in the world who are born to fight?
It’s nothing more than experience.
He entrusted the public affairs of Dezhou to Wei Xuancheng and others. He lived in the military camp himself, broke up the original army organization, regrouped it, and personally trained this army from all over the world.
This is easy to say, but easier said than done?
If it were an ordinary person, just integrating everyone's thoughts would be as difficult as climbing a mountain.
Just change it to Li Shimin...
Please, that's General Tiance!
After the grouping and reorganization were completed, Li Shimin said nothing. He just asked people to set up an archery target and prepare ten stone bows a hundred steps away to the west of his camp.
As soon as this incident came out, the army was excited.
A distance of a hundred steps, a bow of ten stones, which one of these two is not one in a million?
If you can shoot an arrow and hit the target from a hundred steps away, even if it is not in the center, you are still a master among masters. Otherwise, why would there be a term called "Thundering a Yang with a Hundred Steps"? !
As for the ten-stone bow—it’s no exaggeration to say that if you look at it today, you won’t even be able to find the second one!
Although he knew that the general was brave and Yu Wanjun rescued the crown prince of Wei from him, and tried his best to save the war, but such harsh conditions...
If it succeeds, that's all. If it doesn't succeed, it will appear in front of the three armies. How can we convince the public from now on?
Even Teng Zhong and others were privately persuading Li Shimin: "My brother is brave, no one in the world knows it, who doesn't know it? Why do you do this?"
Li Shimin didn't listen.
Teng Zhong quietly went to find Xiao Mingze, hoping that she could go and persuade him.
Xiao Mingze was doing business with Yu Yingying at this time. He didn't even raise his head when he heard this: "It's just for others. You are his brother, how can you not trust him? That's Li Changsheng!"
Teng Zhong was startled when he heard this, and then his face became hot. Looking at Xiao Ming and Zeyun's light but confident look, he suddenly understood why his brother must be Miss Xiao.
At the end of the training that morning, Li Shimin and the generals went to the tent to have dinner. When they passed the place where the bow was placed, they stopped and took the ten-stone bow from the table on one side.
The generals had different expressions when they saw this, some were worried, some were nervous, some were waiting for a good show, some were ready to wash the floor, and some were convinced that he could definitely do it.
Soldiers who had just finished training also swarmed up.
The generals looked at each other and wanted to reprimand them and make them disperse, but the person involved, Chang Shi, didn't change his expression, so they gave up.
Li Shimin seemed not to notice that countless pairs of eyes were focused on him. He held the bow and took the arrow, stood still, exerted force on his arms, and the bowstring was as tight as the full moon.
Everyone saw that he was as breathless as a mountain and motionless. Only the muscles in his arms were taut and three points could be seen through his robes, so they held their breath for the first time.
It was too late to say that, but soon, Li Shimin closed his left eye, loosened his fingers, and shot the arrow out smoothly. Then without saying a word or looking at the result, he placed the bow and arrow again. Return to the table, turn around and leave.
Everyone heard a muffled sound in the air, their eyes blurred, and then there was a muffled sound of "dong". Looking from a distance, they saw that the feather arrow had already hit the target, but it was far away, but they saw It’s unclear whether it hit the bullseye.
However, some soldiers who had been guarding the target for a long time stared at it and shouted excitedly: "I hit it!"
“It hit the bull’s-eye, exactly!!!”
The surroundings were silent for a moment, and then, like a ladle of water falling into a frying pan, the cheers and noises rose loudly, shock, surprise, disbelief, and finally turned into admiration.
"General Li has an unparalleled shot!"
There are also people who don't believe in evil and boldly go to the table to get the bow and arrow and try to pull it apart - what if it is a fake bow and not a ten-stone bow?
As a result, the strength to suck the breast was exhausted, and several people were changed before and after. Even the masters in the military could not pull it away as easily as Li Shimin.
Everyone was in awe of him, their faces were full of excitement, their hearts were burning, and they no longer felt any disrespect at all. They shouted towards his departing back: "The general is unparalleled in bravery, the best at that time!"
Li Shimin raised his arm and waved it casually without looking back.
