Chapter 405 Volume 4 Wei Zheng’s hint, Li Chengqian’s opportunity.

After leaving the palace, Fang Xuanling said with some worry: "I'm afraid the prince's situation is not good, and he has started to resort to this method. This was absolutely impossible in the past.

Our prince values ​​​​face very much. Hey, I don’t know what kind of pressure the Ming Dynasty is facing now, so that the prince made such a move."

As he spoke, Fang Xuanling sighed, with a worried look on his face.

"You can do it." Wei Zheng heard this and said angrily, "You said it, that was in the past. After all, he was the prince at that time. Now, hey, do you think he still cares about face?

If I hadn’t learned it myself, I would have almost believed you..."

He has really experienced this. Now Li Chengqian is so fucking shameless!

Having said this, Wei Zheng pondered for a moment, and then said, "Our Highness has really grown up too fast. Just this time, I think there is a high probability that His Highness did it deliberately."

Hearing what Wei Zheng said, Fang Xuanling was obviously stunned, stopped where he was, looked at Wei Zheng and asked, "How do you say that?"

"Just look at His Majesty's reaction." Wei Zheng said, "Now that the Crown Prince is no longer just a Crown Prince, His Majesty may also regret the original decree.

It wouldn't matter if it was just the prince holding this decree.

But if he were the king of the Ming Dynasty, it would be inappropriate to hold this decree.

Not to mention anything else, His Highness now has hundreds of thousands of string-controlling men under his command. If Tuyuhun is captured again, his troops will be even stronger by then. If he still has such a will to patrol the sky for hunting.

Do you think..."

Then he said meaningfully, "Who can sleep?

But His Highness has not made any mistakes, and there is no way to take back this decree. No, His Highness personally sent a reason, and now everyone feels at ease."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "I've been too busy lately, so I haven't thought about it."

That's what he said, but did he really not think about it?

Wei Zheng didn't say much. Regardless of whether you thought about it before or not, I made it clear to you today anyway.

Now, you should know it too.

Who doesn’t have some purpose these days?

That's his only purpose.

Wei Zheng was indeed a loyal minister, but to whom he was loyal is open to question.

As for Fang Xuanling, he still loves Li Er. After all, he and Li Er share a community of interests.

On the other side, Duan Lun also looked excited after picking up Tao Mingyu.

On the way, he asked: "I have also heard of the reputation of your ancestors.

It’s just that few of his works have survived, and I haven’t seen his true face, which is a pity.”

What he said was not nonsense.

As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, it is really not that big of a deal to have heard of the name of Tao Hongjing, the prime minister of the mountains.

Tao Mingyu, who was in his thirties, looked like a frail scholar. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "There are not many works left by our ancestors, and the ones we have are mostly destroyed by wars.

I don’t know where the rest will end up gathering dust. If I hadn’t met Duke Qi by chance this time, I would have lost all the letters left by my ancestors.”

Speaking of this, Tao Mingyu looked helpless.

Duan Lun didn't say anything, but he accidentally looked at Tao Mingyu, and his heart was the same as Ming Jing's.

Obviously, this guy is also an opportunistic person.

He is the same kind of person as Yang Wancheng from their Ministry of Industry.

Without even thinking about it, this guy must have heard about the recent changes in the imperial court and wanted to recommend himself but had no way. He happened to hear that Changsun Wuji's workshop was also recruiting craftsmen, so he decided to follow Changsun Wuji's path.

But that's fine, because it shows that he is quite confident in the steel filling method recorded in his ancestor's handwriting.

No matter what kind of person he is, if he can really play such a role, it will be a good thing for his Ministry of Industry after all.

As for rewards and punishments, that's Li Er's business, what does it have to do with him?

…

Chuihe County.

The war has fallen into a stalemate, and no one can do anything to anyone for a while.

Both sides have invested tens of thousands of troops, so how can the winner be decided in just three or two days?

Tuyuhun had the advantage in military strength, and the Ming Dynasty had the advantage in ordnance. Both sides had significant advantages.

It has become a matter of course to be beaten like this.

The Chuihe army that was encircling and suppressing the bandits in Chuihe County has now gathered together.

Dabuqu, his uncle Sunhai, and Murong Xiaojun's four sons were eating and discussing matters around a bonfire.

"After we joined forces, these bandits began to flee in all directions, and it became increasingly difficult to exterminate them."

After Dabuqu finished speaking, he sighed: "These idiots, why didn't I know they were so heartless before?

If I catch you again, I’ll hang them both on a fucking flagpole to dry!”

He was really angry, mainly because he had seen many crimes committed by these guys in Chuihe County during this period.

"This is all an advantage for them!" Murong Chengbang said, "These guys should be quartered!"

As the youngest of the four brothers and the least sophisticated one, he almost says whatever comes to his mind.

It can actually be seen from his behavior that the relationship between the brothers is quite good.

"The young master is right, it would be easier for them to cut the body into pieces with five horses." Da Buqu also laughed when he heard this.

Since they surrendered to Li Chengqian, this title has also changed.

"Two uncles." Murong Chengzhong asked from the side, "Now that fighting has started in the north, why doesn't King Ming let us send troops north to support one or two?

There are just small bandits here. Even if we leave 10,000 soldiers and horses, it will be more than enough.

Isn't there a serious war in the north?"

"The eldest son may not understand the deeper meaning of this." Shusun Hai said with a smile, "If we hold off the river army for the time being, we will not be able to send troops to the north."

He didn't elaborate on the specific reasons. Even though Murong Chengzhong and his brothers were calling each other uncle, who could tell clearly what the future would bring?

He now understands Li Chengqian's purpose.

Rather than letting them destroy the bandits, it would be better to use the bandits to temporarily hold them back.

At least this war has nothing to do with them.

But he could understand this. After all, they had just surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. How could Li Chengqian trust them 100%? Unless there was no other way, Li Chengqian would not call them to participate in the war.

At this time, it would be a big trouble if they defected before the battle.

But it's interesting to say that the more Li Chengqian behaves like this, the more they trust Li Chengqian.

If they really didn't have any precautions at all, they would still be afraid that Li Chengqian would lead them to a dead end.

"Does this mean you don't trust us?" Murong Chengjun immediately snorted and said, "Is it possible that we can still join forces with that old man Murong Fuyun?

Even if we are not allowed to send troops to the north, we can still attack Chuihe City occupied by Dingcheng King and Dayan Mangjiebo."

"You are still so impatient." Murong Chengzhong said with a smile, "As long as we act upright and fight, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

He understood that Li Chengqian's main concern was not their brothers.

On the contrary, Li Chengqian sent these brothers here with the purpose of taking advantage of their desire to keep an eye on the Chuhe Army.

In this way, it is obvious who Li Chengqian is guarding against.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Murong Xiaojun's death was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many people.

It’s actually normal to have some thoughts that you shouldn’t have.

"Then we're just going to waste our time like this?" Murong Chengjun was a little less interested. The reason he was willing to come was because he wanted to capture the king of Dingcheng alive instead of competing with the refugees.

"It's not a waste of time." Shusun Hai also said at this moment, "His Highness's move is also intended to train troops. After all, we are still a little unfamiliar with Ming Dynasty's ordnance.

I have also seen these battles, although everyone has gradually become familiar with the new ordnance and has become much more skilled in using it.

But compared with the Resentment Army, the gap is not even a tiny bit.

The young masters may not have met each other before, but General Dabu and I have met them before.

Their continuous crossbow array is combined with incendiary bombs. Let's put it this way, in our previous encirclement and suppression battles, they can do it faster than us, with less casualties and less effort, but at the same time they can achieve the same goal as us.

The results of the battle.”

"The Resentment Army is so powerful?" Murong Chengjun was a little in disbelief.

Although it was their first time to go on an expedition with the army, they did not know anything about the affairs of the army.

They had previously discovered that the combat power of the Chaihe Army had increased by more than 10% after changing their uniforms. Who knew there was such a big gap between them and the Resentment Army?
