"I have already gone to the letter home and asked Shimin to send your third sister and fourth sister to Liaodong, and bring Saburo Silang together." Li Yuan gently tapped the bed.

"Shimin is fifteen years old this year, and his eye disease has been cured. It is time for him to come out to see the world. Yuan Ji is fourteen years old this year. He is busy at home all day, so he might as well send him to Liaodong to suffer a little. However, Xuanba is twelve years old, but his body has always been bad, but I am not at ease with him alone at home, so I asked him to come together."

Li Jiancheng still firmly opposed this marriage.

But Li Yuan told his son that marriage is the best way to exchange power. Even if he is dissatisfied, he must get used to it and accept it. At that time, his father married Dugu Xin of Zhuguo, and he married a daughter of Dou. His sister married the Wang family in Taiyuan, and he also established a daughter of Zheng in Xingyang for Jiancheng.

"Erlang is fifteen this year. I was thinking about whether I could ask Princess Shang for him, but now it seems that the princess is not yet here. The Changsun family has a good girl. Maybe she should go and ask someone to propose marriage to her uncle Gao Shilian."

If the Li family had not relied on marriage over the years, they would not have been able to support it. Now if the Li family wants to keep it up, they must continue to rely on marriage.

"Dalang, remember that the marriage of aristocratic families must be considered for the interests of the family. As aristocratic families, we enjoy the benefits brought to us by the family and enjoy various superior treatments when we are born. Then everyone has to contribute to the interests of the family when they become adults."

Li Yuan stood up, "I'll go to the palace to look in the room. Think carefully about what my father said just now. Also, Dad doesn't object to you and Yu Wenhua and continue to walk together, but you must not be against Luo Cheng in the future. Remember, in the future, Luo Cheng will be your brother-in-law and be relatives with us. You should find a way to make Luo Cheng your help, not your enemy."

······

Luo Cheng waited by the Yalu River for another half a month before he waited for the other Eighth Route Army troops to arrive one after another.

The first one arrived was Yu Zhongwen's three armies, which were originally far away, and Yu Wenshu's three armies, who were originally closest to the end. The other two armies arrived, and they were late.

When Yuwen Shu's troops arrived, it was already June 12th.

Twelve days have passed since the emperor set the date of crossing the river.

Nine armies gathered, and the troops stationed on the Yalu River were stationed.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng was prepared and asked the baggage regiment to prepare a camp for them in advance.

"Why are these guys so embarrassed?" Luo Cheng took his brothers to Yuwen Shu's camp to participate in the Ninth Army Military Conference.

The Nine Army each had its own generals, but the emperor appointed Yuwen Shu and Yu Zhongwen to cooperate in command of the Nine Army. Yuwen Shu was responsible for the Five Armies on the Left Road and Yu Zhongwen was responsible for the Fourth Armies on the Right Road. For some important matters, the two generals negotiated and resolved together.

Yu Zhongwen was the grandson of Yu Jin, one of the eight pillars of the country. His father once inherited the title of Duke of Yan. By his generation, he was demoted to be the title of Duke of County. After changing his title, he had no choice but to be named Marquis of Yanshou.

However, the Yu family's important officials, especially when the Sui Dynasty was founded, the Yu family's support was crucial. Therefore, during the Sui Dynasty, Yu Jin was granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom, with nine sons, two Dukes, four counties, three counties, and three Dukes, and a family of dukes, which was extremely honorable.

But now, the Yu family has fallen a little.

Although the Yu family has many children, Yu Jin has nine sons, each of which has seven or eight sons. For example, Yu Zhongwen's father gave birth to nine, and another uncle gave birth to thirteen. Together, Yu Zhongwen's generation has more than 100 brothers. However, although there are many people, most of them have little success.

At that time, the Yu family had ten dukes including Duke Yan and Duke Qi, but now there is only Yu Zhongyu, a marquis.

But no matter what, Yu Zhongwen is the legitimate grandson of the Yu family in the Eighth Pillar Country and has strong abilities, so he is still the general in the court. This time he became the general of the First Army, and at the same time he served as the commander of the Right Fourth Army with his qualifications and prestige.

However, Luo Cheng belonged to the Five Left Army and belonged to Yuwen Shu.

This time, we were discussing matters in Yuwen Shu's army. The brothers came all the way and saw Yuwen Shu's soldiers of the first army, most of whom were very tired and thin.

"Why do you look a little hungry?"

Siye was also puzzled.

"Didn't they bring a hundred-day food when they came out? It was only mid-June, and it took less than a month and a half to send troops. Why did they use up the hundred-day food?"

Luo Cheng probably understood what it means.

"I must not finish eating. I have three stones of food per person. How could I finish it in about 40 days? I guess I'll throw it away."

"Take it away? Why are they so bold and want to die? They are deeply in the enemy's territory, but there is no supply. Wouldn't they just want to die?"

Everyone knows the importance of military rations, but Yuwen Shu cannot not know.

"God knows what they think." Luo Cheng shook his head.

Come all the way to the tent of the Left First Army Central Army.

The generals of the nine armies arrived together.

"The general of the Five Left Army, Xiangyang Hou Luocheng, arrived!"

"The Assistant General of the Left Five Army, Mr. Song is here!"

As the guards shouted, Luo Cheng and his group of people were covered with helmets and armor, and entered the tent in high spirits.

"Luo Cheng led the generals and captains of the left five army to meet General Yuwen and join the army of General Yu!"

Yuwen Shu just snorted, while Yu Zhongwen stood up and came to the tent to greet him in person.

"I heard that General Luo was young and brave, and he had countless good news since he entered Liaoning. Today, I finally saw a real person. I am so young." Yu Zhongwen took Luo Cheng's hand and walked in. "It's really the next wave of the Yangtze River pushing the previous wave, and there are talented people in the country who have emerged."

Wait for everyone to sit down.

The first sentence Yuwen Shu said was to ask Luo Cheng directly, "How much food and grass are available for the Left Five Army now?"

"Our army is still full of food and supplies." Luo Cheng replied.

When Yuwen Shu heard this, she immediately smiled, "It's so good. Now all the soldiers are short of food and grass. Luo Cheng, you immediately take out half of the food and grass to distribute it to the soldiers to solve the current difficulties."

Luo Cheng laughed.

"General Yuwen, Luo Cheng has something to do. The troops set out from Huaiyuan Town in early May. When they set out, the court drew weapons and supplies and 100-day food. It has only been less than a month and a half since then. Why do they say there is no food? It should be more than half of the food?"

"If you ask you to share the food, you can share it. Why do you do so much nonsense?" Yuwen Shu said angrily.

Luo Cheng is not dependent on him.

"What the good general knows is that when our Left Five Army set out, they only brought one army's food like General Yuwen. At that time, the food and grass given to us by the Weiwei Temple was not enough for a hundred days of food, only for ninety days of food, and a lot of food was still old and bad food."

Yu Zhongwen smiled and smoothed the situation, "Marquis of Xiangyang, we encountered obstacles halfway before, so we were not allowed to go around the long road. It was difficult to drive on the mountain road, so many supplies and food had to be abandoned in order to hurry up. Therefore, the army is short of food now, so we also ask the Marquis of Xiangyang to share the food to help the army."

"Since General Yu said this, our Left Five Army must not be able to sit idly by and watch the brothers and their troops cut off food and get hungry. So, the court gave us 90 days of food, and we have used for 45 days of food, and half of it. The remaining half is about 40,000 stones of food. I, Luo Cheng, would like to take out half to share it with the army. What do you think?"

"Twenty thousand stones of grain are good." Yu Zhongwen frowned, but agreed.

The Eighth Army had more than 260,000 people, and each person had two liters of grain per day, which cost more than 5,000 stones. The Eighth Army divided the grain and only had enough food for four or five days.

But having is better than not.

Yuwen Shu was not happy.

"If your army has 40,000 shi of military rations, then the nine armies should be divided equally. You will give each army 4500 shi of food."

"Why?" Luo Cheng asked directly?

This question made Yuwen Shu furious!

"Just because I am the commander of the Left Five Army by Your Majesty!" He slapped the table and asked loudly, "Luo Cheng, do you want to disobey?"

That murderous look made people believe that as long as Luo Chengzhen dares to say something else, he will really dare to send someone to arrest Luo Cheng and chop off his head.

"General Yuwen is so powerful, but the decree I received was that the Ninth Army was sent to Pyongyang at the same time, and the Five Left Army was jointly organized by General Yuwen, and the Fourth Right Army was coordinated by General Yuwen. If I understand correctly, it should be to coordinate the army, rather than directly command the army. Otherwise, why don't Your Majesty appoint General Yuwen as the left marshal, but you want to appoint you as the left 1st general?"

"Rareless, come and take Luo Cheng down!"
