Give me three years," Hou Junji stood in front of King Wentai of Gaochang and pointed his fingers, and said confidently to Wentai: "I can train a warrior for the king who is ten times stronger than the Tang army, and help the king lead them into Chang'an City and sit on the lord of the Central Plains." {First Reading}"

On the second day after coming to Gaochang, Hou Junji led the remnant sword and was received by King Gaochang, and in front of King Gaochang, Hou Junji said such a rebellious remark.

"General Hou's skills, this king can believe in himself, which is why this king is willing to meet General Hou." Wentai picked up the tea bowl and glanced at Hou Junji, and said, "It's just that this king wants to know, how could the most loyal warrior in the Tang Dynasty make such a decision?" What does General Hou do to make this king believe you? ”

Facing the Tang Dynasty general in front of him, who had frightened countless people in the Western Regions, King Gaochang didn't dare to really believe it, be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship, who knows if this will be a bitter plan? The Central Plains people love to play the most, and it is these conspiracy methods.

"The family is broken, the person who has no way, from the moment Hou stepped out of the realm of the Tang Dynasty, Hou is no longer a person of the Tang Dynasty," Hou Junji clenched his fists, obviously thinking of the scene of Chang'an City again, and then looked at Wentai and said: "When Hou escaped from Chang'an City, he had a grand wish, he returned to Chang'an one day, and killed the blood of the enemy, if the king does not believe it, Hou will leave, the countries of the Western Regions, there is always a place for my Hou Junji." ”

After speaking, Hou Junji arched his hand to Wentai, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey, General Hou walks slowly, this matter is very important. General Hou may allow this king to think about it for a moment or two before replying? Wentai waved his hand to stop Hou Junji, and said to Hou Junji with a chuckle.

"In this way, Hou will thank the king, the king is busy, and Hou will retire first." Chong Wentai bowed, and then Hou Junji led the remnant sword out of Wentai's hall.

"Sir." Out of the temple gate. The remnant sword took two steps. Keeping up with Hou Jun's figure, he asked him softly: "This King of Gaochang is delaying like this, could it be that he wants to inform Datang of the whereabouts of the master and take the master back?" ”

"No," Hou Junji glanced at Remnant Jian and said to Remnant Jian with an expressionless face, "Wentai is a suspicious person, and he has great ambitions in his heart. I have long had the idea of violating the Tang Dynasty, but there are no soldiers in my hands, and the national strength is not prosperous, so I have never had a chance, and we are his chance. This time Wentai delayed, I'm afraid I will send someone to investigate our old bottom. When his spies return, it will be the day when we will establish ourselves in Gaochang. ”

Heavy rain blocked the road. The news that Hou Junji was wanted by the Tang Dynasty has not yet reached the countries of the Western Regions. It is reasonable for King Gaochang not to believe him, Hou Junji is not surprised, but. Hou Junji believes that Wentai will not let him leave.

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find, and Hou Junji has always been very confident in himself.

"If the national strength is not strong, how can we raise a military move? Sir, are we here by mistake? Remnant Jian glanced at their master, and he didn't know why Hou Junji chose to settle here.

"If the national strength is not strong, can't we raise troops?" Hou Junji still took his steps, and whispered to the remnant sword: "Think about the Turks in the past, when the army was raised to attack Chang'an, was the national strength of other places sufficient? As long as there are brave and invincible soldiers, no food and grass, and no women, it is not surprising that they can go to the Tang Dynasty to grab them. ”

"That's right." The remnant sword jaw replied lightly, followed behind Hou Junji, and said no more.

"What do you think about this? Is this Hou Junji credible? As soon as Hou Junji's master and servant left the palace gate, a person came out of the inner side of the main hall, Wen Tai glanced at him and asked him softly. {First Reading}

"Back to Your Majesty," Gao Changguo's second-in-command, Prime Minister Qu Yifu, bowed to Wentai and said softly: "Your Majesty already has a base in his heart about this matter, so why bother to ask His Majesty?" ”

"Hehe, I just don't know what the prime minister thinks, is it the same as what this king thinks?" Wentai chuckled and stretched out his hand to invite Qu Yifu to sit down on the chair next to him, and asked Qu Yifu as he spoke.

"The monarch of the Tang Dynasty is not a fool, and he will never send a big future like Hou Junji to test our small country of Gaochang," Qu Yifu glanced at Wen Tai and said: "Therefore, Your Majesty believes what Hou Junji said, he should have rebelled out of the Tang Dynasty." Moreover, with Hou Jun's ability to gather land, in three years, he can indeed train an elite army for His Majesty, and Hou Junji, the king's ambition is expected to be fulfilled. ”

"Uh, hehe," Wen Tai chuckled, glanced at Qu Yifu appreciatively, took a sip of tea, and said: "The hero sees the same thing, and this king also cherishes the talent of this Hou Junji, but whether or not to take Hou Junji in the end depends on whether the news from the Tang Dynasty is accurate." ”

"Your Majesty is very worried," Qu Yifu lightly arched his hand to Wen Tai and agreed.

"This year, the Tang Dynasty must have committed Tianwei, first a great drought, then a great flood, and now there is a peerless general who has fled to my Gaochang Kingdom, Prime Minister, you say, is this a foresight that my Gaochang Kingdom's luck has arrived, and the sky has also come to help?" Wentai's face was a little fanatical, the environment of Gaochang Land has always been harsh, and the area is extremely barren, for the fertile land of Datang Land, he is very red-eyed.

"God bless Gaochang, God bless Your Majesty, but," Qu Yifu saw that the king of their family was a little forgetful, so he whispered on the side to persuade: "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Tang Dynasty has heavenly punishment, but it is far from being the enemy of my Gaochang, the king must think twice about acting." ”

"Moreover, the king should not forget the 'Liu's waterwheel'," Glancing at Wentai, Qu Yifu said softly: "Although the 'Liu's waterwheel' also solves my Gaochang's frequent drought, Datang benefits more." There is also the 'Liu's plough', 'Liu's fertilizer mill', these things are all the supreme treasures of a strong country and a rich country, and there are talented people like Liu Yi in the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty is better to be careful. ”

"Well, what the prime minister said is extremely true, this king is a little arrogant," Wentai nodded lightly, with the vast fertile territory of the Tang Dynasty, coupled with those favorable agricultural tools created by Liu Yiyi, it is like a tiger with wings, unless they can encounter natural disasters like this year every year, otherwise they just don't want to be strong, and it is difficult.

Since the introduction of a batch of 'Liu's ploughs' and 'Liu's waterwheels' from Datang, Gao Changguo's harvest this season has increased by nearly 50% compared with previous years, and they are also very clear about the huge role of these agricultural tools. Therefore, they are both happy and afraid of Liu Yiyi, who can create these things, and it is not their blessing to have such a character in Datang.

However, even so, they did not have much hostility towards Liu Yiyi, a civilian who was just a carpenter, after all, these farm tools made by Liu Yiyi benefited more than just the Tang Dynasty. Just like those Langzhong, not only can they save people, but they can also save themselves.

"Your Majesty, is Qian'er coming back?" Empress Changsun personally handed Li Shimin a bowl of iced sour plum soup, then sat next to Li Shimin and asked Li Shimin gently.

I haven't seen Li Chengqian for nearly half a month, and the eldest grandson empress is already worried in her heart.

"Hehe, the queen is a little anxious, the Qin Cha I who came to the aid has just been sent out, and the prince wants to come back, I'm afraid I will have to wait a few more days." After taking a sip of sour plum soup, Li Shimin chuckled and said to Empress Changsun: "Although the prince has encountered some accidents, it is not worth mentioning compared to the harvest of this trip. ”

Putting the soup bowl on the table, Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun and said softly: "Looking at the prince's behavior in Yuzhong in the past half a month, he has been calm and orderly, acting in a measured manner, and has the style of a general. ”

The son has grown his ability, and Li Shimin, who is a father, is also much happier in his heart, after all, before this, for the prince's affairs, he, Mingjun, had a lot to worry about.

"Qian'er has been very smart since he was a child, and he used to act recklessly, but he just lacked training, and the emperor should give him more opportunities." Empress Changsun also showed a smile on her face, picked up the sour plum soup on the table, and took a sip gently.

"I understand the queen's thoughts," Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson queen, smiled lightly, and said: "This flood in central Henan, except for those who were unfortunately drowned, no one died because of the epidemic. ”

"Well, there is also that willow, the dedication is meritorious, and I will not treat him badly, since he does not want to be an official, then I will reward him with some more treasures, and the charcoal mine he has in Sanyuan, I will no longer pursue it, and exempt him from paying taxes for ten years. I don't think he's going to object. Remembering that Liu Yiyi has always loved money, Li Shimin made such a decision.

"The emperor is wise," Empress Changsun frowned slightly, and said to Li Shimin with a chuckle: "This flood can survive so peacefully, it is really the blessing of the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Well, what the queen said is very true, and I also have some plans in my heart, two consecutive natural disasters, it's time to go and sacrifice heaven and earth for all people." Li Shimin looked at the clear sky outside, and said softly to Empress Changsun-

There are ten unsatisfactory things in life, but they are mostly mediocre people who disturb themselves, think about it, see through it, and fade it
