I don't want to go back, but Mr. Li Hao still wants to find out the reason for this sudden change.
Since the prince didn't know, Li Hao went to ask Ling Buyi. After all, this guy was most likely responsible for this.
But Ling Buyi faced Li Haode for questioning, but did not give an explanation. He only said: "Your Majesty sees that the prince has no reputation in the army, so he wants to take this opportunity to establish a reputation for the prince. This is a great thing for the prince." , you have to appreciate His Majesty’s painstaking efforts.”
Li Hao was naturally skeptical about this. It was not that Emperor Wen would not do this, but that the matter was developing and changing too fast, and there must be a reason for it.
But if Ling Buyi insists on telling him, there is nothing Li Hao can do against him, and this time he wants to capture Peng Kun. Thinking about it, even if Ling Buyi wants to find out the truth about Gucheng, he will not do bad things to frame the prince.
It just so happened that this time Li Hao had to arrange some things in advance before setting off, so he didn't get into trouble with Ling Buyi anymore.
After returning to his home, Li Haodang immediately selected some capable people to go to Tongniu County to make corresponding arrangements in advance.
After all, there are not many opportunities to deceive the old fox Taifu Lou, maybe this time there will be a ready opportunity.
Of course, now Lou Niu's second brother, He Yong, is supporting him from outside. Although he is still under the control of the big house, his situation has also been greatly improved. Therefore, Li Hao is not completely sure whether Lou Niu will go to extremes this time.
Not only that, the people Li Hao sent to keep an eye on the Lou family really didn't get any useful clues.
But no matter what, Lou Niu did not successfully enter the official position after all. Who knows how deep his obsession was. It is not a bad thing to be on guard. By the way, it can also be regarded as protecting Yan Zhong and Cheng Shi.
That's right, this time Cheng Shi was still assigned to Tongniu County to supervise the transportation of copper. Now he had little contact with the Lou family. If he fell into Lou Niu's hands again, he might not be able to save his life.
For Yuan Shen's sake, Li Hao still had to be interested in him, otherwise the marriage, which was already about to fall through, would have to wait for another three years.
After finishing this matter, Li Hao went on to comfort Wang Yao and Qu Lengjun, especially Qu Lengjun. She was not far away from giving birth, and he didn't know if she would be able to come back smoothly by then.
So before leaving, Li Hao had to coax her to avoid any psychological problems.
However, it is obvious that Qu Lengjun's endurance is quite good, and he did not have much psychological fluctuations in Li Hao's departure.
After all, Li Hao had participated in many fierce battles before, and he was not damaged at all, not to mention that this battle was even simpler.
Li Hao was naturally relieved about this, but after visiting Qu Lengjun, something unexpected happened when he arrived at Wang Yao's place.
"You want to go out with the army, but I'm afraid that won't work." Li Hao said directly after listening to Wang Yao's words.
Wang Jian heard this and replied: "What's wrong with this? It's not impossible for the couple to go to war together. Didn't the Marquis of Quling and his wife go to the battlefield together? Even when His Majesty went to war, he took Concubine Yue with him.
And I am still a general who is skilled in archery and horsemanship, so I won’t hold you back, so don’t worry. "
Hearing this, Li Hao smiled and said, "You are good at bow and horse, you are sure! Why did I hear that someone lost miserably in Tushan before?"
As soon as she heard this, Wang Jiao's face turned dark immediately. Although her relationship with Cheng Shaoshang and Wan Qiu De had eased a bit because she was married to Yuan Fu De and because of Qu Leng Jun De.
But when she heard Li Hao's disguised praise of his wife, she felt very unhappy.
When Li Hao saw this, he didn't hit her anymore and said directly: "It's not that I don't want to take you, but it's really inconvenient this time. After all, I'm not the leading coach.
Now that the prince doesn't even plan to take the princess with him, I'll take you to figure out what's going on, and I'll tell you what Ling Buyi, Cui Hou, and Lai Hou think.
Ling Buyi has no one to take him with him, but Cui Hou and Lai Hou both have wives and concubines. Do you think it's okay if they take them both with them? "
After hearing this explanation, Wang Yao didn't say anything else, because it was all the truth, but she still looked a little disappointed on her face.
Goodbye after seeing this
He consoled: "Don't think too much about it. Anyway, if I have the opportunity to lead an army alone next time, I will definitely take you with me.
You will stay in the house this time. It just so happens that Leng Jun is getting heavier now and needs your help in running the house. "
After hearing this, Wang Jian replied: "You said this yourself, and you won't be able to go back on your words when the time comes."
"No, definitely not." Li Hao replied, but in his heart, Li Hao added, anyway, you have to bring both of them, you can't favor one over the other.
After settling things at home and arranging the troops and horses in the East Palace properly, it was almost time to go on an expedition.
So early that morning, Li Hao put on the armor sewn by Wang Yao himself. After all, Qu Lengjun was inconvenient this time, so Wang Yao did the work.
Apart from anything else, Wang Jian's level as a popular actress is really good, and she has not lost the dignity of being a lady.
Then Li Hao set out from the palace and rushed to the East Palace to meet the prince, led the troops, and swore an oath outside the palace gate.
At this time, Li Hao saw Ling Buyi and the armor on his body, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Without Cheng Shaoshang, his famous chicken wings scene would not be able to be reproduced after all.
Then Cui You and Lai She also arrived one after another. After everyone gathered together, they returned to their respective official positions and waited for Emperor Wen to appear and swear their oaths before setting off.
At the same time, beside everyone, a small group of people led by Cheng Shi also took the oath together.
As for why it was said to be a scam, it was because the lines of personnel on both sides were clearly defined, which made it seem that Cheng Shi's place was too thin.
Emperor Wen did not keep everyone waiting, and quickly came out and said a few words to wish the army a triumphant victory and the unification of the world, and then announced the dispatch of troops.
The prince took the lead, followed by Ling Buyi and Laihou. Li Hao sneaked in next to Cuihou, and then came the East Palace Guards, the Black Armored Army and other soldiers.
After everyone here had left, Cheng Shi could leave. It can be said that the treatment was really not good.
Although Cheng Shi was the last one to leave, he was the one who set off the fastest. After all, he had a small entourage and rushed directly to Tongniu County after leaving the palace gate.
Li Hao and the others still need to go to the camp outside the city to gather heavy supplies of troops and get a supply of supplies before leaving.
Coupled with the disadvantage in marching speed, by the time Cheng Shi and the others arrived at Tongniu County, Li Hao and the others were still half way away.
There is no way, even though Li Hao's side is full of elite soldiers, stronger than those led by Cheng Shi, the speed of these tens of thousands of people marching at the same time cannot keep up with the speed of a few hundred people.
But the marching speed is fine, just slow down. When Li Hao went to Shu, the marching speed was even slower, so he came here differently.
But along the way, those children of noble families who were thrust into the army caused a lot of trouble for Li Hao, which made Li Hao feel very uncomfortable.
There is no way, Cui You and Lai She have deep qualifications, they don't want to intervene, and there is nothing others can do.
And Ling Buyi had always had a cold face. In addition, there were rumors circulating in the capital about Ling Buyi's cold face and ruthlessness, so those people didn't dare to bother him.
So Li Hao became the person they came to look for most. For this reason, Li Hao couldn't wait to deal with them hard.
But thinking about the families behind these people, Li Hao finally decided to endure it. After all, he never knew when he would need them.
But within a few days, Li Hao couldn't bear it anymore, so he planned to find something for them to do so that they could consume their excessive energy.
So later, Li Hao came to the prince and advised: "From here to Shouchun, there are many thieves and bandits on the way. Why not take this opportunity to sweep them away, which can also be regarded as eliminating the troubles for the people around you and benefiting the people." "
The prince still attaches great importance to the people's livelihood, and this journey is just a matter of convenience, so he will naturally not object.
Cui You and Lai She had no objections to this. Only Ling Buyi came out and said, "If this is the case, it will slow down the march of the army even more. If this gives Shouchun a chance to breathe, wouldn't it be a disaster?"
Li Hao explained: "There are few soldiers in Shouchun. In the past, when the imperial court had no time to spread the word of defense, it failed to capture many cities. What's more, now that the counties and counties around Shouchun have already prepared their defenses, Peng Kun is even more worried. There was no hope.
Moreover, this matter could be used to make Peng Kun take his guard off, and with the cooperation of special forces, it might have miraculous effects.
Anyway, with our current strength, it wouldn't hurt to separate a little. "
Hearing this, Ling Buyi immediately became active and said, "Then let's use the black-armored guards for this special force, and I will lead it myself."
Seeing Ling Buyi's attitude change so quickly, Li Hao almost didn't react. However, Li Hao didn't object to this matter. After all, Ling Buyi and Heijiawei did have this ability.
However, the decision-making power ultimately rests with the prince. Of course, if the prince lets him go out to lead the troops, Li Hao is also very willing.
At least this job is definitely more comfortable than dealing with those overly energetic playboys.
The prince spoke at this time: "Zicheng, before we set off, our father specifically told us that you should accompany the army on this expedition. Let others lead the extraordinary troops."
After speaking, the prince really looked at Li Hao, but this is understandable. After all, among the four people present who can lead troops, Li Hao is definitely much easier to handle than Cui You and Lai She.
Just when the prince was about to give the order, Ling Buyi said: "Your Highness, this person Peng Kun is related to the whole city. I really can't sit back and watch in the camp to deal with this person. I still hope that the emperor will agree to send me to fight."
The prince replied: "Zicheng, taking down Peng Kun cannot be decided in the first two battles. When the follow-up army arrives outside Shouchun City, you will naturally have the opportunity to take action. Why rush now?"
Ling Buyi said: "I know what His Highness said is reasonable, but I still want to ask for a fight. Even if I have to wait, I hope to wait below Shouchun City instead of here."
After saying that, he looked straight at the prince, his eyes full of determination, but the more Ling Buyi acted like this, the less the prince wanted him to go.
It's not that the prince thinks he can't do it, but he is worried that if his brain gets hot, he will lead his troops to attack Shouchun City. Even if nothing happens, he won't be able to make a profit by going back.
So for a while, the atmosphere in this scene was a little stagnant, but it was Cui You who broke the stalemate here.
"How about this. It's enough for the anti-legendary army to be led by Zi Yang and Uncle Jun. I don't have much to do here. It's up to me and Zicheng to lead the extraordinary troops together. What does the prince think?"
The prince naturally knew about the relationship between Cui You and Huo Junhua. In addition, Cui You had always been very protective of Ling Buyi, so having him accompany him all the way was reassuring.
So he agreed: "Okay, then it will be hard work for Marquis Cui."
After confirming this matter, Li Hao sent out his manpower to help the noble disciples to find the traces of the mountain bandits. To this end, he did not hesitate to go over the mountains and ridges to inquire around, and finally found several good places.
Afterwards, Li Hao called them over and assigned them tasks. For this, he received a lot of thanks from them, thanking Li Hao for giving them the opportunity to make contributions, but Li Hao felt that they were happy too early.
Although these bandits are not as brave as the regular army, they may have survived the troubled times, but not everyone can deal with them.
Sure enough, the subsequent events unfolded just as Li Hao had expected. This group of ambitious young men couldn't even recognize a person tripping a horse or trapping a horse in a ditch. In the first few battles, some of them were even captured alive, and Li Hao had to pay a ransom first. Put it back.
When he went to explore the road with a scout, he met a pitiful woman asking for help, and was almost killed in a sudden attack.
But the most interesting thing is the few young men who carelessly went to the wine shop within the bandit's territory to inquire about information. When they went there, they were in a cool and unrestrained manner. Hanging in the forest.
However, Li Hao was still very kind. When he rescued these people, he sent everyone away and only sent a few strict confidants. The victims were full of gratitude to Li Hao when they came back.
After a few times, those noble disciples either shriveled up or became cautious. In short, they all grew old.
Indeed, one-third of them are good enough to be packed and sent back to the capital.
Li Hao was quite satisfied with this result, and he even deliberately found ways to recruit most of these thieves.
When he saw this scene, the prince had some doubts in his heart. In fact, when someone was injured before, he had been determined to end the bandit suppression.
It was just that Li Hao came together to dissuade him. In addition, Li Hao promised that nothing major would happen, so based on his trust in Li Hao, he didn't say anything later.
At that time, he was still confused about Li Hao's determined attitude. Now that he saw the recruitment scene, he understood more or less.
"You arranged all the thieves on this road. When did you go get them?" the prince asked.
When he got here, Li Hao didn't intend to hide it, so he replied: "Your Highness, you think too highly of me. How can I arrange so many people? Most of them are real thieves. It's just that I invited Hou Help, I just recruited you in advance.
Only some of those who resisted were captured by my people and replaced by my own people. After all, we can't really let those young men from aristocratic families lose their lives. "
"Yes, you are really bad, and you have given them a lot of trouble recently." The prince laughed when he heard this, and then added: "But after all, you have made a contribution to them, so it is not a injustice to them.
I just don’t know what’s going on with Zicheng and Yuehou, whether it’s going well or not. "
Li Hao replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the news of this noble soldier's disobedience has been spread. Coupled with the large-scale bandit suppression, I think Peng Ni still wants to laugh at our jokes.
Zicheng and Cui Hou will definitely not have any problems during their surprise attack. Just wait and help them celebrate. "
