"It's not that I'm anxious about this! It's..." Lu Chen didn't say any more, and his expression suddenly became a little serious, which made Qin Qiong and others slightly stunned. They didn't understand what happened to Lu Chen, who was still cheerful just now. His expression suddenly changed.
"What? Is something wrong?" Qin Qiong and others put down their tea cups and looked at Lu Chen, asking in confusion.
"No, but I suddenly felt a sense of unreality, and I always felt that I had overlooked something!" Lu Chen pondered for a while and said, "The world has finally settled down. If Chang'an is so peaceful, will other places be so peaceful?" Lu Chen continued.
"Why are you so calm?" Hearing Lu Chen's words, Cheng Yaojin curled his lips and said, "As the New Year approaches, King Rencheng is going back to Lingzhou, and King Zhao is going to Lingnan to quell the chaos!"
"Lingnan!" Lu Chen finally remembered what he had forgotten. In the past two years, because Jieli Khan and Master Liang were arguing over each other, Lingzhou was relatively stable for a while, but the forty-nine states in Lingnan are now making trouble. , when the new year comes, Li Xiaogong will be appointed as Zuopushe, Shangshu of Xiangzhou Daoxingtai, and go straight to Lingnan to pacify Lingnan.
Although the forty-nine states in Lingnan were directly pushed forward by Li Xiaogong, and the forty-nine states surrendered immediately, there was quite a fuss behind them, and Lingnan had its own cultural heritage. Even though Li Xiaogong captured Lingnan, This is not yet an economically developed area in later generations. It is still a barren land where the indigenous people rule the roost.
Moreover, Lingnan is equivalent to the entire territory of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan in later generations, as well as parts of Hunan, Jiangxi and other provinces. It includes the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong in later generations, and it is a place with many ports!
Lu Chen's eyes lit up when he thought of this, the port is a good thing! But when I think about areas like tropical rainforests there, although history only says that Li Xiaogong promoted the forty-nine states in Lingnan, there must have been a lot of losses. Just the mosquitoes, rats, and ants in the tropical rainforests are enough to cause Tang Dynasty. Drink a pot at the soldier.
"It seems that I need to pay a visit to Prince Zhao when I have time!" Lu Chen thought to himself.
"Brother Xian, judging from your expression, it seems that you have some doubts about Lingnan?" Qin Qiong couldn't help but ask when she saw that Lu Chen didn't speak but looked deep in thought.
"My foolish brother does know a little bit about that place in Lingnan. That place is different from ours. The climate there is hot and humid. If our soldiers fight there, there will probably be a lot of non-combat casualties!" Lu Chen did not hide anything from Qin Qiong. The three of them directly knocked on the armrest of the chair and said, "Besides, there are many local natives. It is possible for Prince Zhao to defeat them and make them surrender temporarily, but later, I am afraid those natives will not obey!"
"If you don't want to obey? Then beat them until they do!" Cheng Yaojin said nonchalantly.
"Brother Cheng, there are many mountains in Lingnan. Unlike our battle here, there are very few plain areas. Our soldiers are used to fighting in large armies. I am afraid they will not adapt to fighting in this mountainous area!" Lu Chen shook his head slightly and retorted. Cheng Yaojin’s words.
"Mountain operations..." Hearing Lu Chen mention mountain operations, Qin Qiong suddenly looked at Lu Chen. Lu Chen was slightly startled by his gaze. He didn't know why Qin Qiong was muttering "mountain operations" and then looked at him.
"Brother, remember, your Beiweiwei training manual seems to have specific training in this area, isn't it?" Qin Qiong looked at Lu Chen and asked, after all, Lu Chen had given Lu Chen the basic training manual for Beiweiwei. However, these few are more accustomed to leading large regiments in combat. Lu Chen's training method of carrying Weiwei guards has not been implemented in the army. Another point is that Lu Chen's training method is extremely expensive. They are now Simply can't afford it.
"Indeed! But how many people are there, Brother Yu! How big is Lingnan? Even if Brother Yu has a heart, I'm afraid he can't do anything!" Lu Chen looked at Qin Qiong and said with a bitter smile. Lu Chen didn't say what was in his heart. Even if he let these people When the Beiwei Guard goes out to fight, Lu Chen has to follow him, otherwise what if those generals blindly command him and destroy his Beiwei Guard!
Only after Su Dingfang and other Beiwei Guard commanders were thoroughly familiar with the fighting methods did they let them out.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Qin Qiong nodded. After all, Lu Chen was telling the truth. His Beiwei Guards only had a few hundred people. In a place as big as Lingnan, with just a few people, going to fight in Lingnan would be like a mud cow entering the sea. , which is enough!
Besides, if all these back-wei guards were wiped out, Lu Chen wouldn't have to worry about it!
"Brother, what I want to say is, can you single out this mountain combat training method, compile it into a book, and give a copy to Prince Zhao!" Qin Qiong looked at Lu Chen and suggested.
"Second brother, this is a good idea!" After hearing Qin Qiong's suggestion, Lu Chen's eyes lit up and he said. At the same time, Lu Chen also knew what to do when he went to find Li Xiaogong!
"I will prepare a copy later and give it to Prince Zhao! Just in time, Yudi also wants to pay a visit to this prince!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
At this time, Su Chang came over to report that a banquet had been prepared in the side hall. Lu Chen immediately stood up and invited the three of them to the table.
"I've seen Aye!" Li Yanjun, dressed as a scholar, came to Nuan Pavilion and stood in front of Li Yuan to salute Li Yuan. At this time, charcoal basins were no longer used in Nuan Pavilion, and the iron stove sent by Lu Chen was also used. Keep warm.
"Yes!" Li Yuan nodded, knowing what he meant, but he did not put down the memorial in his hand, but continued to read it, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with Li Yanjun sneaking out of the palace, and Li Yanjun did not dare to continue. To speak, I could only sit on the ground and wait quietly.
After a long while, Li Yuan put down the memorial, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and looked at Li Yanjun who was sitting in front of him. "You all get off!" Li Yuan waved directly to Chang Bao and other chambermaids and maids waiting aside. , these people bowed out under the leadership of Chang Bao and then resigned from Nuan Pavilion. Li Yuan and Li Yanjun, father and daughter, were left in Nuan Pavilion.
"How unbecoming are you if you spread the word like this!" Li Yuan took a look at Li Yanjun's dress opposite him, and said with some helplessness, if any prince caused such trouble, Li Yuan said in a low voice He yelled and scolded, but now sitting opposite him was his daughter, and she was the always filial Princess Langya. Li Yuan really couldn't bear to scold Li Yanjun.
"But my daughter has not been found out!" Li Yanjun said angrily.
"No one has seen through it yet!" Hearing Li Yanjun's unconvinced words, Li Yuan laughed angrily at Li Yanjun's words. "That's because other people saw through it and didn't say anything!" Li Yuan glared at Li Yanjun.
"In addition, even if no one sees through your attire according to what you said, but the behavior between you and Lu Chen, won't others misunderstand Lu Chen?" Li Yuan looked directly at Li Yanjun and said with a smile, " Aye just said a few days ago that he would marry you and Lu Chen, and now Lu Chen is considered a good man, do you know how many people in the court are staring at him?"
As soon as she heard Li Yuan's words, Li Yanjun's heart skipped a beat. At first, she thought that letting Lu Chen be misunderstood as a good man would reduce the number of crazy bees and butterflies around Lu Chen. But now that she thought about it carefully, if she didn't do this well, it would actually It would harm Lu Chen.
Li Yanjun suddenly looked worried, looked at Li Yuan and asked, "Aye, what should I do? Doesn't it mean that my daughter harmed County Duke Lu?"
"Are you worried now?" Li Yuan looked at his daughter's worried look and laughed again. It seemed that this girl really fell in love with Lu Chen. Li Yuan was also worried that marrying Li Yanjun to Lu Chen would be punished by his own daughter. Objection! Now it seems that I have thought too much! Moreover, according to Chang Bao's report, Lu Chen seems to have some thoughts about his daughter!
"Aye, what should we do!?" Li Yanjun looked at Li Yuan with some displeasure and said.
"What else can I do? Just bear with me, Aye!" Li Yuan looked at Li Yanjun fondly and said, "You just need to cause less trouble for Aye in the future!" Li Yuan still compares favorably to these Queen Dou's children. He has a different attitude from the other children of the concubines. I don't know whether it is because of his debt to Queen Dou, or because these children followed the Li family's rebellion against the Sui Dynasty step by step. Anyway, Li Yuan was very concerned about these children. His attitude is obviously more pampering.
"Thank you a lot!" Hearing what Li Yuan said, Li Yanjun suddenly became happy again and saluted Li Yuan.
"Why don't you go back and change clothes!" Li Yuan was still a little angry when he heard that Li Yanjun left the palace incognito, but when he saw Li Yanjun, Li Yuan didn't know why, but he couldn't get angry. In the end, he couldn't get angry. He just scared Li Yanjun for a few words, and then asked Li Yanjun to go back to the palace.
"Yes!" Li Yanjun saluted Li Yuan again and was about to leave the Nuan Pavilion. Unexpectedly, before Li Yanjun could leave, she saw Chang Bao walking in from outside the Nuan Pavilion. Standing at the door of the Nuan Pavilion were her eldest brother, Prince Li Jiancheng and Fourth brother Qi Wang Li Yuanji, Li Yanjun was slightly startled when he saw these two people standing at the door of Nuange.
Because when she saw these two people, she immediately remembered what happened in the box. It seemed that Li Yuanji was fighting with Lu Chen at that time. Later, Lu Chen left Changyuan Building to find her, so she forgot about it. In the back of his mind, now that he saw Li Yuanji, he suddenly remembered this matter.
"Hmph!" Li Yanjun glared at Li Yuanji, raised his head and snorted coldly, with an obviously unwilling expression to pay attention to Li Yuanji. This expression directly stunned Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who couldn't understand this sister. Why do you give the two of you such expressions?
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and King Qi are outside asking for an audience!" Chang Bao came to Li Yuan and bowed to report.
"Let the two of them come in!" Li Yuan nodded and said. In fact, Chang Bao had already seen the two sons standing at the door of Nuan Pavilion without Chang Bao reporting.
