Opening the wine gourd, Ye Zhu helped Lu Chen pour a glass of Dukang. The beige Dukang wine was accompanied by the fresh and elegant aroma of the wine. Lu Chen picked up the wine glass and said, "Your Highness, I would like to propose to you!"
After speaking, he took a sip, and the delicate and mellow taste stimulated Lu Chen's taste buds.
"The only one who can relieve our worries is Du Kang! Prime Minister Cao will not deceive me!" Lu Chen praised Dukang wine, and at the same time scorned the blended wine of later generations. That thing cannot be called wine!
Seeing Lu Chen praising Dukang wine so much, Li Xiuning also took a sip, and then started to eat hot pot. Compared with Dukang wine, hot pot is more appealing to these people. Of course, with Li Xiuning here, Fang Qi and Meng Ji could only eat with restraint. If Li Xiuning were not here, the two of them would probably have a plate of mutton that would turn their brains into dog brains.
After three rounds of drinking, the dishes around the hot pot were also replenished. Lu Chen had to admire the princess and her two maids opposite him. This "foodie" attribute was fully displayed. Lu Chen ate for eight Even though he was full, he couldn't eat anymore. He was just chatting with Li Xiuning and watching their clever work. Lu Chen just couldn't figure out, where did all the food go to with such a good figure?
"Is there something wrong with my face?" Li Xiuning couldn't help but ask when she saw Lu Chen smiling at him eating hot pot.
"No! No! I'm just surprised that Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang looks so heroic! She is indeed a strange woman who can lead troops in war!" Lu Chen gave a thumbs up and praised Li Xiuning. This means that Lu Chen dared to drink wine. In this way, if it were normal, it would be strange if Lu Chen was not charged with "molesting the princess, treason".
"Sir, I don't know. I have never eaten such delicious food in my entire life! I really don't know why you have so many fantastic ideas in your mind!" Li Xiuning put down her silver chopsticks and looked at Lu Chen with a smile.
"Well..." Lu Chen couldn't say that. I came here more than a thousand years ago. There are so many things you haven't seen before. "You have to think divergently! Sometimes, one thing has to start from If you look at it from different angles, you will find different things." Lu Chen could only give an ambiguous and philosophical answer.
"Then I have something that I would like to ask the military advisor to help me with!" Li Xiuning looked at Lu Chen and continued.
"Want to hear the details!" Lu Chen responded.
"There is a report today, saying that Liu Heitai has led his troops south and is preparing to attack Weizhou. I wonder what you think, sir?" Li Xiuning continued to stare at Lu Chen, obviously wanting to test Lu Chen, and Lu Chen said However, Liu Heitai needs to be killed. Liu Heitai will leave Cangzhou now and see what Lu Chen wants to do.
"Oh?" Hearing that Liu Heitai left Cangzhou, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. This was the wrong time. Liu Heitai attacked Weizhou violently. It should be Jieli Khan from the Turkic side who agreed to the Tang Dynasty's withdrawal and negotiated with Liu Heitai. It was Tao who cut him off in two, forcing Liu Heitai to attack Weizhou wildly. Why did Liu Heitai suddenly attack Weizhou now? Could it be that his appearance affected the historical timeline?
However, Lu Chen still had a calm expression on his face and said: "Liu Heitai is so anxious to attack Weizhou because he is afraid that Jieli Khan has been seriously threatened. This threat is so great that he has to lend money to Weizhou." Liu Heitai's soldiers were transferred back, which forced Liu Heitai to take the opportunity to expand his territory. Expanding his territory is secondary, the main thing is that Liu Heitai wants to expand his territory and increase his troops!"
Jin Li Xiuning nodded, seeming to agree with his statement. Lu Chen took a sip of wine and continued: "This shows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin have gained something, and since Liu Heitai left Cangzhou, then he You can't go back!" Lu Chen said and sneered a few times. The sudden appearance of murderous aura on his body made everyone present stunned. In the past two days, Lu Chen has always looked harmless to humans and animals. This suddenly revealed The murderous aura proved that Lu Chen was definitely not a good person, and the murderous aura that Lu Chen could only possess after climbing out of a pile of dead people.
As soon as Lu Chen's murderous intent was exposed, he immediately retracted it. The murderous intent just now lasted only for a moment, but it was still keenly noticed by Li Xiuning and others, but no one said anything. After all, when Lu Chen took out the pistol that day , Li Xiuning knew that a pistol was a murderous weapon, and it would be strange if Lu Chen didn't die.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not just about Liu Heita, right?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiuning and asked with a smile, because when Li Xiuning talked about Liu Heita just now, there seemed to be a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and Lu Chen naturally noticed it.
"Since sir asked, I will not hide it from you. It is my eldest brother and second brother who have sent letters and want me to send troops to help!" Li Xiuning showed a rare expression of embarrassment. This was the first time for Lu Chen Seeing this most amazing woman in history, she looked embarrassed.
"If you ask me, it's very simple, I won't help!" Lu Chen said bluntly, "As for the rhetoric, it's very simple. His Highness is going to send troops to attack Liu Heitai!" Lu Chen chuckled, leaving the credit for the attack on Liu Heitai to Li Xiuning The reason is there.
"Crunt against Liu Heitai?" Li Xiuning looked at Lu Chen with some confusion. He was stationed at Niangziguan to guard against Turks. Lu Chen suddenly asked him to send troops to attack Liu Heitai. What should he do about Niangziguan? Just throw this away?
"It doesn't require too many troops, but it does require His Highness to go there in person!" Lu Chen took another sip of wine, "I am responsible for killing Liu Heitai, but what happens after I kill Liu Heitai? Liu Heitai still has so many subordinates. ! When the time comes, there will be no leader. How can I kill them all? Don’t I have to let His Highness finish the work? Is His Highness planning to give this credit to His Highness the Crown Prince or His Highness the King of Qin? I’m afraid someone will add fuel to the fire and say that His Highness is partial to a certain side. , so the credit can only be collected by His Highness himself!"
What Lu Chen said makes sense. Originally, Li Xiuning was in a state of not helping each other. If Liu Heitai dies, then how to deal with Liu Heitai's remaining forces and subordinates will be a credit. Whether this matter is given to Li Jiancheng or Li Jiancheng. Li Shimin, the beneficiary party will definitely publicize that it was Li Xiuning who gave up the credit, and the other party will probably resent Li Xiuning, so the best way is for Li Xiuning to take the credit, then no one can say anything.
"Sir, what you said makes sense. I will send someone to deliver the message tomorrow, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses I will need to cooperate with you, sir?" Li Xiuning, a person with such a clear mind, immediately understood Lu Chen's analysis, so she nodded in agreement. accepted Lu Chen's suggestion.
Lu Chen stretched out five fingers and said, "Five thousand is enough!"
