Li Chengqian put on the gold armor, boarded the specially built chariot, and hurriedly took a test drive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Chao continued to look at the official document, the two of them were busy with their own work, so after a long time, the bolt was reporting outside.

"Xiangguo, the rich businessmen of Xiangfan came to labor with pot pulp!"

When it comes to eating pot pulp, Li Chao thinks of the surrender faction, during the war, the local squires are strong or something, and they often eat pot pulp to welcome the king, in fact, to put it bluntly, they are the surrender faction and the leading party. For the interests of their own families, they often have no official government or court in their eyes.

Li Chao chuckled lightly and covered the scroll in his hand. After reading the official document for a long time, my eyes are sour, so it's good to rest for a while.

"Let them in!"

The two cities of Xiangfan are opposite each other across the river, and Fancheng is also very prosperous because it is in the north of the river. Although Xiangyang is the seat of Xiangzhou's state and county, and Fancheng is only a town below, the merchants of Xiangfan are often compared to each other because of their important location and prosperous commerce. Today, the labor army came to work together, and it was the big and wealthy businessmen from the two cities who came together.

"This is the list of supplies they sent to the labor army." The plug handed over a fold.

"It's all written in such a thick book? Looks like they've made a lot of money. Li Chao took the fold and opened it, and found that the long fold book was actually full of names and lists of materials.

What kind of labor army is this, this is obviously a loss of sincerity.

It seems that the big and wealthy businessmen in Xiangfan and Xiangfan are all on it, and everyone has donated a lot. The first place was actually the Feng family, who donated 5,000 stones.

"Is Feng Xiaoan still in prison?" Li Chao asked his subordinates.

"Back to Xiangguo, Feng Xiaoan is still in the state prison, without Xiangguo's order, who would dare to let it go."

Li Chao sighed, no wonder the Feng family was so generous, as soon as he made a move, it was 5,000 stones, it turned out that he wanted to get Feng Xiao'an back. "I almost forgot about this Feng Xiao'an!"

"Let's go back and let him go, I believe that after this time, he can be honest and smarter."

Five thousand stone grain, this deposit is quite a lot, Li Chao smiled very unceremoniously, anyway, he didn't put it in his pocket.

Flipping down, there are a lot of other families, more than 1,000 stones, and some 510 stones. The gifts given by each family are very in line with Li Chao's thoughts, knowing that there is a shortage of food now, each family sends food.

Li Chao estimated that this time at least 20% of the remaining grain of each family was taken out.

They were so stingy before, and they had to wrestle with Li Chao for a little food, but now they are so generous, it is obvious that Li Chao used the brute knife this time, which also scared them.

Killing more than 5,000 and beating more than 50,000 into slavery is very ruthless.

No local tyrant and rich businessman dares to underestimate Li Chao anymore.

A group of people escorted a lot of pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, cloth, vegetables, etc. into the barracks, looking at the triumphant soldiers who were wiping their armor and preparing to enter the city tomorrow.

Li Chao directly met them in the open space in the camp, and Li Chao was unexpectedly kind.

After chatting with them for a while, he accepted the gift.

There is a large amount of grain on the gift list, and it is all to be sent directly to the official warehouse, and now the ones brought to the barracks are all pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, etc.

Seeing that Li Chao accepted the gift list and spoke very politely, the wealthy businessmen who were nervous finally breathed a sigh of relief. By the time he left the camp, his belt had finally straightened a little more.

When I got a little farther away, I began to feel sorry for the food sent out again, maybe I could have sent less.

On the side of the road, a puff of smoke and dust billowed in.

"Who is this?"

"It seems to be a general, with a lot of men."

"It's the eldest princess of Pingyang."

"Isn't the eldest princess in Tangzhou, why did she come here suddenly?"

Someone whispered to his companion, "I heard that the eldest princess had a story with Li Xiang before, and then she turned into hatred because of love, and now the eldest princess is here, is this?" ”

No one knew what the eldest princess was doing when she came to see Li Chao, but they all felt that there would definitely be a story, but it was a pity that they didn't have a chance to see it.

Li Xiuning's sudden arrival was also unexpected by Li Chao.

However, in front of outsiders, Li Chao still had to show that the relationship between the two was not harmonious, and asked in a businesslike tone, "What happened when Governor Li arrived?" ”

"Something is wrong." Li Xiuning also has a businesslike tone.

"What's the big deal?"

"I just received news that the Duke of Wei and the Duke of England have just started a war with the Turks in the north!" Li Xiuning sat down unceremoniously.

Li Jing is now knighted as the Duke of Weiguo, and Li Ji has also been renamed the Duke of England, one in Hedong and the other in Hebei.

"The Duke of Wei and the Duke of England are at war with the Turks in the north? When did it happen, and what did it really do? Li Chao sat up straight all of a sudden, this is really a big deal.

Doesn't it mean that the current peace is good and then the outside, especially in the current eventful season, where does the imperial court have the energy and ability to wage war with the outside world? Li Jing and Li Ji, both of them are also handsome, don't they even have this overall view?

The two of them are just border marshals, how dare they ignore the strategy of the imperial court?

"It happened suddenly!"

Li Xiuning got the news one step earlier than Li Chao, which can be regarded as understanding the situation.

This battle was not that Li Ji and Li Jing fought privately, but that the situation was like this at that time.

"The Turks are in civil strife, and the Tiele tribe in Mobei fights with the Turks in Mobei under the alliance of Xue Yantuo. And Mo Nan's Jieli was attacked by the little Khan Tuli Fake Tu Tu Yu. Li Jing and General Li Ji also saw a rare opportunity and sent troops. ”

Li Chao was still frowning.

The Turks became civil strife so quickly, which was somewhat unexpected by Li Chao.

"What's going on now?"

"Jieli, Tuli, and Yu shot at the foot of the Yin Mountain, Li Jing and General Li Ji took the opportunity to send troops, defeated Yuan Junzhang and other rebels, and recovered Daibeiyun and Shuo Prefectures in one fell swoop, and General Li Jing also captured Yang Zhengdao and Xiao Hou alive."

"What about the Turks?"

Li Jing and Li Ji grasped the timing very accurately, and took advantage of the Turkic civil strife to immediately send troops to destroy the original Liu Wuzhou's old department, Yuan Junzhang. After Liu Wuzhou's defeat, Yuan Junzhang took Liu Wuzhou's old troops to join the Turks, and had previously occupied the land of Daibei outside Yanmen Pass. This time, Li Jing and the others wiped him out with a stick and recovered the Yunshuo prefectures in the northeast of Hedong, which is a good thing, but Li Chao still has to consider the consequences of doing so.

If it is because of Daibei, it triggers a war between the Tang and the Turks, which is very unfavorable to the overall situation, especially in this period.

"Jieli and Tuli and Yu Shooter have been fighting, and the fight is a bit indistinguishable. And the Turkic Mobei's Desire Valley and Tuo Shi also fought against Xue Yantuo and other Tiele people, and now they have no time to take care of it. ”

In this way, Li Jing and Li Ji picked up a leak. (To be continued.) )
