Chapter 659: Safe Return
The momentum and posture of the vanguard are not deliberately put on display, their equipment is like this, it can be said that the armor and weapons equipped by a person are very valuable.
In other words, their equipment provides them with better defense and attack.
Lai Hu'er and the others all saw it, they had all seen the equipment of the vanguard before, and at that time they thought that they were all the guards around Li De, and it was not unusual to be well-equipped, so it could only be said that Li De was willing to pay for his guards.
Even their own escorts were better equipped than ordinary soldiers, but there were more than just a few of them now.
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are like this, which makes people have to be shocked, if you think about it carefully, they have already guessed whether hundreds of thousands of Youzhou soldiers will be like this.
Under the leadership of the vanguards, they arrived in Youzhou after more than a few hours of hurrying, and you must know that the sea is not close to Youzhou.
Youzhou City, the city wall is towering, and the scale is larger than Chang'an City.
Li Yuan came for the first time, and Laihu'er didn't have any intersection with the current Youzhou, so when they saw the impregnable city, they were shocked.
Especially Li Yuan, he knows the city too well, as long as the gate of the city in front of him is closed, let alone 100,000 soldiers and horses, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will not be able to break it.
Lai Hu'er was also shocked, compared to Penglai City, the height alone is only one-third of Youzhou City, not to mention the bricks and stones on the walls of Youzhou City, and the solidity can be seen at a glance that there is no way to break through.
The thoughts of both people can't help but be reflected in the first impression.
"Tang Guogong, General Hu'er, the soldiers and horses you brought can't enter the city, the temporary barracks have been arranged." Said the captain of the vanguard.
Tang Guogong was not polite when he arrived in Youzhou, he immediately felt like his own family, after all, Li De was his son-in-law, and seeing Youzhou City like this made him feel much better, and he suddenly had no worries about running for his life.
Laihu'er didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't say anything as he followed.
After Li Yuan walked into the city, he saw that the city was deserted, and he was puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Why is the city of Youzhou so deserted?" ”
I thought that something had happened, or that Li De was going to deal with them.
In officialdom, it is not for nothing that the battlefield has been mixed up for so many years, and any interest relationship is nonsense in his opinion, and the morality of the monarch and the minister is not a one-shot split in the end.
So it's always a good habit to be cautious.
"Youzhou City is used to deal with official business, so it's usually deserted." The Pioneer Captain explained.
"For official business?" Li Yuan looked stunned again, you must know that this is a city, not a house.
Laihu'er was also puzzled by the side.
In fact, there are people living in Youzhou City, and after adjustment, the people who live in it are basically the families of officials, although it looks like a special treatment, in fact, Li De is out of office efficiency.
Don't think that the life of the officials is really good, the living conditions are all standardized, not very luxurious, and the slightly larger houses in the city are either the governor's mansion, or the castle guard's mansion, and other office locations.
There are not many houses left, because in addition to being used to deal with official business, the most important thing in Youzhou City is the Youzhou granary.
What place is more stable than a city as a granary?
This is the case in Youzhou, and the main population is all outside Youzhou City, and now most of the places where people are now have formed streets, and the construction work is about the same level as in the city.
It's just that Li Yuan and Lai Hu'er didn't see it.
The governor of Youzhou, the old man must entertain Li De when he comes to the door, and after hearing that Li Yuan and others have successfully landed ashore, the Li family began to prepare.
The Li family, when Li De greeted him, Laihu'er had already been taken away by the officials of the City Lord's Mansion for arrangement.
Not only that, Ang Lee, but Pei Renji came out to greet him with a lot of face.
Seeing this, although Li Yuan still knew nothing about the situation in Youzhou City, he had to smile when he saw his acquaintances.
"Brother Li, you are here, the meal is ready, let's have a few drinks today." It was not Ang Lee who spoke first, but Pei Renji was really like an acquaintance this time.
When Li Yuan came, he had already asked clearly that this was the Governor's Mansion, shouldn't it be entertained by the head of the Li family, how could it make people feel that Pei Renji was the master of the family as soon as they met.
In fact, you can't blame Pei Renji, the two families are next door to each other, and Ang Lee and Pei Renji play chess together and drink tea when they have nothing to do, and they are as good as a family.
may be due to his personality, Li's father is not a person who loves Zhang Luo, and he can't wait to let Pei Renji go if there is such a thing, but it can only be said that the relationship between the two families is really good.
The key is that because of Li De's relationship, the Li family has never paid attention to anything, there is no restraint, and Pei Renji actually didn't adapt to it when he first came, but after a long time, this way of communication makes people relaxed and happy.
So naturally, it became like this.
It's just that it looks like a gaffe in the eyes of others, but it's a pity that even the Metropolitan Governor of Youzhou doesn't pay attention to these, but instead drives the atmosphere of the sixteen states of Youzhou.
Li Yuan didn't understand it, and just wanted to greet politely, he was directly surrounded by people and entered the door.
Seeing that Pei Renji and others directly took Li Yuan to a courtyard, the courtyard space was very large and a sunshade cloth was erected, and a few people were fanning the flames.
Li Yuan was directly stunned, and saw that the person who fanned the flames was not his second son Li Shimin.
At this time, Li Yuanji and the others behind Li Yuan were also very curious when they saw the people in this courtyard, but Li Yuanba, who had been silent, seemed to have returned to his own home, and ran directly to Li Shimin's side and said, "Second brother, I'll come." ”
So fanning the flames in the iron furnace became Li Yuanba's business.
"It's great that my father is safe and sound, and the baby is preparing a barbecue, so I'll let him try my hand at it later." Li Shimin said.
Li Yuan's face was a little stiff, at this time he felt very weird, his second son was dressed as a cook, saying that he wanted to make barbecue, the clever boy who had a lot of ideas when he saw him before, and then looked at the face of the person in front of him has not changed, but he can't believe that he is his son.
"Daddy." Li Xiuning ran over to call him, which made him wake up from his stunned state.
"Xiuning, who are you?" Li Yuan was puzzled, now that someone was finally able to ask, the behavior of the people in the courtyard made him unable to adapt for a while.
I almost scolded Pei Renji for being disrespectful.
The atmosphere of the Li family is like this, Li Shimin, Li Yuanba have long been used to it, and Ling Ding is also a little uncomfortable when he sees Li Yuan and Li Shimin.
