Chapter 190 Chasing the North (39)
Li Yuan raised his hand with a smile and signaled his two sons to sit down.
Li Jiancheng knelt on the seat in a perfect posture. In front of his father, Li Yuanji, who was used to being naughty, was honest and silent.
Only Li Yan, sitting on the brocade stool, with her wonderful eyes flashing. She looked at her brother and then at her younger brother, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "I heard that Dalang, you are holding a banquet in Jinyang Palace and entertaining his subordinates. I thought it was a night high meeting, so why did you return early?"
Li Jiancheng pondered for a while, looked at Li Yan, but did not speak.
Li Yuan waved his hand: "It's all my brothers and sisters, so what else can't be said in front of you? At any time, the family is the most reliable. Why do you do this for nothing? Dalang, you act like this. If Yan'er feels wronged and calls your third sister back, can you bear it?"
Li Yuan said this with a smile, but he was kind. Li Yan snorted: "If you have any grievances, I will come to my door myself. I don't have to worry about my third sister! The daughter of the Li family, if she suffers from grievances, she will never be able to stay at night!"
While saying that Li Yan also made a small fist at Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji was so scared that he shrank his neck. In front of this seventeenth sister, his temperament could not be used at all, and it could be considered as a matter of subtraction.
Li Jiancheng pondered for a while and finally spoke: "Today, he received a document from Zhaoren. Liu Wuzhou had already raised an army and attacked Shenwu. Wang Rengong refused to support him and asked for troops to go to Hedong. He hoped that a brigade of Hedong would enter Shanyang and half to Kaiyang, thinking that Wang Rengong's troops would support him. This matter is very important, so I would like to report back to my father and ask him to show his strategy."
Li Yan's eyes widened. This was big news! My father was worried about Wang Rengong. Because of the restraint of Mayi County, he might not be able to accomplish anything after this winter. However, unexpectedly, such a variable suddenly came out!
Li Yuan looked calm and nodded slowly: "Zhaoren also has a document sent to me. When he learned this news, he was almost the same as Dalang, and was about to think about it. This little Shiqi came to the door again, twisting me and asking for an Eagle Soldier for her to practice. How could I agree? This girl was just twisting and pestering her, and I was having a headache too."
Li Jiancheng took a breath and nodded silently.
Liu Wenjing reported that when he first passed on to Li Yuan, he was a servant of the Duke of Tang. When the second pass on to him, he was a servant of Li Jiancheng. He was basically considered to be the first-class disciple of Li Jiancheng. It was a matter of natural for his subordinates to report to the master. In this era when aristocratic families were in power, it was natural for Liu Wenjing to do this, and it was normal for him to do this. Li Yuan would not blame Liu Wenjing for doing this.
Li Yuan continued with a smile: "We have no choice but to use Wang Rengong. We are afraid of his elite soldiers of the Mayi Yingyang Mansion. However, we did not expect that Liu Wuzhou, a corner of Yunzhong, could do this! What is the name of the general who took down Shenwu?"
Li Yuan's eyes turned to Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng replied softly: "Call Xu Le, first capture Wang Rengong's marching chief Zhang Wansui, and then defeat Shenwu in one fell swoop. Finally, Wang Rengong's army collapsed, and the troops headed straight to Shanyang."
Li Yuan high-high: "How come these characters are all under Liu Wuzhou! In the battle last year, Yuchi Gong was also a very brave and resolute general in the world! Why didn't we reward these talents to pull out!"
Li Yan came today, really just asking her father to mess with her. She wanted to have an eagle-strike army to protect her family and could also command them to run and hunt for a show. When her father raised an army, there was such a group of people who followed her father to fight for nothing, which made her more hope, right?
Although he is one of the most favored daughters by his father now, Li Yan still often hates that she is not a man. She is full of efforts to make achievements and make a career. As for choosing a husband to have children, the seventeenth daughter of the Li family is not interested at all. What other man can surpass his father? The brave and brave second brother? A man who is not even as good as his third sister, the seventeenth daughter of the Li family can't even glance at the corners of her eyes!
As a result, Dalang suddenly came to worship and talked to his father about the war in Mayi County. Another Xu Le appeared, and he had such a career. Li Yan's big eyes, as if they were like a star in the morning, suddenly lit up, and his hands closed: "Father, who is Xu Le? Which family's children? Can my father take him under his command?"
Li Yuanji knelt down and snorted softly, full of dissatisfaction. But where did Li Yan pay attention to this little hairy child?
Li Yuan looked at his seventeenth girl drowningly and shook his head: "I don't have this blessing. Although I wish I could win the heroes and my pockets of the world. But my father, I am poor in my blessings and weak in strength, so I can only look at it and be greedy."
Li Yan snorted: "That's because he didn't have the chance to see his father, otherwise he would have been devoted to serving his father!"
Li Yuan smiled when his daughter flattered her well. The smell of a kind father was almost overflowing.
When Li Jiancheng saw the topic, he gave Li Yan a wrongful look and coughed helplessly. Li Yuan then reacted: "Dalang, what do you think about this? You have a few outstanding strategists under your command. The Xie family who came to the south is also a smart person. Is it because I have discussed it and come to find me to reply?"
Li Jiancheng nodded calmly: "It was indeed a discussion. His son felt that these thousands of soldiers and horses must be sent out. With these troops, we can watch the two heroes of Mayi County and the Hedong army at a time. When both Mayi heroes were injured, we can also take over the elite troops of Mayi under our command. With these elite troops to help, our father's career will be like a tiger."
Li Yuan nodded slowly: "Zhaoren also means that. I think about it carefully and think it makes sense... But Zhaoren's literary report suggests that Dalang, you bring troops into Mayi, what does Dalang think?"
This sentence asked the key point. Although he was still full of kind smile on his face, Li Yuan's eyes were shiny, but in this moment, he was forced to his son!
Li Jiancheng couldn't help but straighten his spine and replied seriously: "My son thinks that Erlang should lead his troops into Mayi and take charge."
Li Yuan immediately asked, "Why aren't Dalang, you go there in person?"
Li Jiancheng replied without hesitation: "My son should assist his father in Chang'an and support the imperial family. With such a great cause, how can his son leave his father's side in a moment?"
These answers were suggested by Xie Shufang. Li Jiancheng has always been said to be gentle by his father, and at this moment, he must show his unswerving attitude!
Li Yan also stood up: "Why is Erlang?"
Li Jiancheng looked at his sister and replied word by word: "Because Erlang is also his father's son, he should be the only one for his father!"
Li Yuan lowered his eyelids and said nothing for a while. The flower hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone held their breath and waited for Li Yuan's decision.
In the end, Li Yuan waved his hand: "This matter is very important, it's okay if Rong thinks about it anymore. Anyway, Wang Rengong can't collapse for a while, so it's not a matter of these few days..."
Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng could only stand up: "It's up to the father to make a decision, and his son was ordered to be cautious. This would not disturb his father's rest, and his son said goodbye."
Li Yan also jumped up and saluted Li Yuan: "I won't bother my dad anymore, I'll go home too!"
Li Yuanji snorted: "Is it time to find Erlang?"
Li Yan glared at him: "Who am I going to look for? Let me not care about my father. Why are you talking too much?"
Li Jiancheng stopped Li Yuanji and said to Li Yan: "If the Seventeenth Sister goes to find Erlang, say to him. If his father lets him take charge of Mayi, this is an important task. At this moment, brothers must work together to serve his father's great affairs."
Li Yan smiled and said, "Dalang, how can you still not understand your thoughts?"
Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "What else can I have?"
Li Yuan finally couldn't stand it and waved: "A good afternoon is a rare leisure day. When a few children come, they can't stand it! Let everyone go, let someone be silenced!"
Li Jiancheng immediately shut up and saluted his father in a regular manner. Li Yan curled her lips and saluted her. She just muttered in her heart.
"It's all the prince, and I'm still so petty, I have to send Erlang out. I'm not upset, I have to fight for Erlang!"
