"Quick, let me try it!" Seeing that Lu Chen's body armor had such high defensive power, Li Daozong said excitedly, and at the same time he started to undress and take off his belt.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozhong warily when he saw Li Daozong undressing and taking off his belt, looking anxious.

"What else can you do! I have to try your inner armor!" Seeing Lu Chen's eyes, Li Daozong also stopped what he was doing and looked at Lu Chen and said.

"Oh!" Lu Chen nodded, took off his coat, handed it to Liu Jing to hold, took off his body armor, and put it on Li Daozong. Li Daozong's figure at this time was similar to that of Lu Chen More or less, this body armor is not worn in a decent way.

Li Daozong put on his body armor and danced a few times in an inconspicuous manner. At the same time, he simply punched a few times and kicked his legs a few times in the front hall. At this time, Li Daozong didn't have the air of a prince at all. Toys for kids in general.

In fact, at the end of the day, Li Daozong was only twenty-three years old at this time, one year younger than Lu Chen. At this age in later generations, he was still in college! It's just that due to his status, he couldn't show his young side. At this time, there were only Lu Chen and Liu Jing in the front hall, so how could Li Daozong have any princely airs.

"Brother Lu, this thing is much lighter than my inner armor!" Li Daozong jumped for a while, stretched out his hand and patted his chest twice, and the bulletproof vest made two "bang bang" sounds.

"Let me try it!" Li Daozong looked at the waist knife and spear beside him and motioned to Liu Jing.

"I'll do it!" Lu Chen naturally saw Liu Jing's embarrassed look. It was him just now, and now he is the prince. For Liu Jing, the psychological pressure is indeed a bit high. Lu Chen directly picked up the sword and waved it at him. Li Daozong smiled, but that smile was somewhat "unintentional".

"Come on!" Li Daozong stepped forward and signaled to Lu Chen. It was obvious that Li Daozhong was focused on this "bulletproof vest" right now. Don't miss Lu Chen's somewhat "malicious" smile.

"Whoa!" With the sound of breaking wind, Lu Chen struck the bulletproof vest directly with his knife. The bulletproof vest indeed prevented the knife, but the force directly caused Li Daozong to cover his chest and cough twice. .

"Brother Lu, this is too much!" Li Daozong complained, covering his chest and looking at Lu Chen resentfully.

"I just want to tell the prince that although this thing can resist slashing and thrusting, it will still be injured when the force is too strong!" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong and explained with a smile, and at the same time he casually put the waist knife away. aside.

"There are pros and cons!" Li Daozong took two deep breaths, smoothed his breathing, and motioned to Lu Chen to help him take off his body armor. Lu Chen helped Li Daozong take off his body armor. When the two sat down again, Li Daozong said with a smile, " But wearing this thing is much more comfortable than my soft armor!"

In fact, Li Daozong said that although the inner armor is soft armor, it is also made of metal after all. How comfortable can it be when it is worn on the body? Although the body armor is not too comfortable to wear, compared with the inner armor, it is naturally more comfortable. Much more comfortable.

"So, the five hundred guan is still worth it!" Lu Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Then I want two pieces!" Li Daozong also picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He looked at Lu Chen and said, but after taking a sip of tea, Li Daozong still stretched out his hand to rub his chest, "Lu Chen, this knife of yours is too big." Cruel!" Li Daozong looked at Lu Chen with resentment and complained. Li Daozong estimated that his chest must have been bruised by Lu Chen's knife, but Li Daozong also had a deeper understanding of Lu Chen's force. understood.

"I didn't use much force!" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong's exaggerated expression and directly said with a confused look. As for why Lu Chen used so much force, it was obviously to retaliate against Li Daozong for pranking him.

"You..." Li Daozong was directly defeated by Lu Chen's expression. He choked for a moment and couldn't think of how to refute Lu Chen. After a long time, Li Daozong looked at Lu Chen and continued, "Brother Lu, this king We're going back to Lingzhou!" Li Daozong put away his joking expression and looked at Lu Chen.

"So urgent?" After hearing Li Daozong's words, Lu Chen stopped joking and looked at Li Daozong with some surprise. According to Lu Chen's inference, Li Daozong would return to Lingzhou, at least after Li Xiaogong went to Lingnan. , that is to say, it should be around March, the beginning of spring, that Li Daozong will suddenly return to Lingzhou, which is really beyond Lu Chen's expectation, and it also messes up Lu Chen's plan.

"There is news from Lingzhou that Master Liang is ready to make a move, and Jieli Khan seems to want to take advantage of this opportunity!" Li Daozong saw that Lu Chen told the military situation without hesitation.

"Liang Shidu must be eliminated!" After listening to Li Daozong's words, Lu Chen thought about it for a moment, "Liang Shidu, the geographical location of the Liang Kingdom, is very important!" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong and continued.

Lu Chen's words are not without purpose, because although Liang Shidu's territory is not large, this location is particularly important. Liang Shidu's "Liang Kingdom" is set in Shuofang County, Xiazhou, and he also has Yanchuan County in his hands. , Diaoyin County, Yan'an County, and Honghua County, these places are connected in a line. If the time is right, they can directly attack Chang'an, and this is how Li Shimin will be attacked by Turks later. "Wei River Alliance".

What's more, there are four major salt ponds in Yanchuan County, namely "One Wu Pond, Two White Ponds, Three Xixiang Ponds, and Four Wa Kiln Ponds. The two Ponds Wu and Bai Po produce salt."

With these salt ponds in hand, it supports the economy of Liang Shidu, the so-called "Liang State". And why Liang Shidu and Jieli Khan are in the honeymoon period now? To put it bluntly, first, Liang Shidu both have geographical advantages. , as long as they take advantage of the territory of Liang Shidu, the Turks can go south to "graze the valley" at any time; secondly, Liang Shidu has salt in his hands. This kind of thing is not available to nomadic Turks who are not involved in production, and the Tang Dynasty definitely Salt and iron will not be sold to the Turks, and salt is something that Master Liang can naturally provide.

The current honeymoon period between Liang Shidu and Jieli Khan is that they both want to replace the Tang Dynasty, but they both have their own agendas and want to take advantage of each other. Liang Shidu's military strength is not as good as the Turks, and the Turks want to go south. We have to follow the path of Master Liang, so the two sides are now using each other.

For the Tang Dynasty, Liangshidu was a hidden danger. It was like the Great Wall. Suddenly a door opened in the middle. This door was Liangshidu. However, there was no peace within the Tang Dynasty. The state defends Liang Shidu and the Turks. When the country is calm, they will take action to deal with Liang Shidu.

In addition, now that the aristocratic family is powerful, the Li family wants to weaken the aristocratic family. There are rumors outside that Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qin Li Shimin are fighting openly and secretly. Obviously at this time, even if Li Yuan is willing to let one of the two lead troops to conquer Liang Shidu, the other His supporters would not agree, so the matter was deadlocked here, allowing Master Liang to live happily in the so-called "Liang Kingdom".

"What if we tie Master Liang now?" After pondering for a while, Lu Chen suddenly looked at Li Daozong and asked.

"How can we pacify Liang's capital? Brother Lu knows what's happening now, and I also know. Where are the soldiers who can pacify Liang's capital?" Li Daozong looked at Lu Chen and said with a wry smile.

"Third Princess!" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong and said with a smile. In normal history, at this time, Li Xiuning was no longer here, so the "Women's Army" was also divided up, and the generals should retire and retire, but it is different now. Ah, Lu Chen killed Liu Heitai, and Li Xiuning survived directly. The Detachment of Women, which accounted for more than one-third of the Tang Dynasty's military strength, was still in Li Xiuning's hands. Besides, Niangziguan has been very quiet recently, so he directly divided his troops. It doesn’t take much effort to deal with Master Liang!

Besides, if Li Xiuning sends troops to pacify Liang Shidu, then he, the "strategist of the Women's Army", will definitely accompany him. At that time, as long as he advances to Shuofang, Lu Chen will have a way to kill Liang Shidu.

"That's right!" After hearing Lu Chen's reminder, Li Daozong slapped his thigh and said, "Why did I forget the third sister!"

"The main reason is that His Highness is keeping a low profile now. After returning to Chang'an, His Highness rarely showed up and disappeared from everyone's sight! I'm afraid many people are interested in the Detachment of Women now!" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong and said with a smile, but There was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"There are always people who are interested in the Detachment of Women!" How could Li Daozong not understand the meaning of Lu Chen's words? He said with a smile, "The third sister keeps a low profile because she doesn't want to be involved in some things, but some people have ulterior motives!"

"We don't care about those people! When they make His Highness lose his temper, you will know what it means to ask for trouble!" Lu Chen waved his hand directly and said.

"Based on Third Sister's temper, I guess those people will get something good by then!" Li Daozong also nodded in agreement, "But these things are not what we should be concerned about! After all, there is Third Sister! But I am prepared for Brother Lu's proposal I'll report it to my uncle tomorrow!" Li Daozong looked at Lu Chen and said.

"Okay!" Lu Chen nodded. In fact, it was just Lu Chen's whim that he asked Li Xiuning to lead the Detachment of Women to pacify Liang Master. As for whether Li Yuan will agree, it depends on Li Yuan and Li Xiu. I would rather not send troops with the Detachment of Women.

As for whether Lu Chen had considered Li Yuan's offer of marriage to him, Lu Chen had certainly considered it, but Lu Chen felt that if Li Xiuning wanted to send troops to pacify Liang Division, it would definitely not happen overnight. It’s not something you can just walk away with just a word.
