Chapter 42 Tang Duke Li Yuan

The Sui army camp was thirty miles north of Liaodong City, Goguryeo, with hundreds of thousands of troops stationed here. With hundreds of thousands of auxiliary soldiers and civilians, this Liaodong wilderness has long become a lively place. The entire camp is entrenched for dozens of miles, except for the lack of city walls and houses, which is no different from a big city.

The outermost are the military camps, the middle is the camp tents of the ministers of the Sui army, and the innermost ring is the camp of the sixth army led by the emperor. The middle is the emperor's imperial camp, a wooden palace made by craftsmen. The entire camp is arranged in an orderly manner, and there is even a special place on the outermost side, forming a market. All soldiers, civilians, etc. can trade here. As long as you have money and goods, there is basically everything you want.

"Mr. Yuwen, where are you going to take me?" Chen Kefu was in this camp, except for training soldiers in the camp and reading books every day, and rarely entered this camp.

"Take you to meet someone. You are not short of weapons and armor. I will take you directly to find Li Yuan, the young minister of Weiwei Temple. This Weiwei Temple is in charge of the world's arsenal, and this guy is not very capable, but he is very polite to anyone. Although his ancestors were also important officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and his cousin of His Majesty today, although this man is a member of the Li family, he is very sleek and always very easy to talk to no matter who he is."

"Li Yuan is in his forties, but he has been not doing well. He has been a governor in Qizhou for twenty-five years and is a very incompetent person. If he hadn't had a niece as His Majesty's concubine, he might have died of old age in the place. Fortunately, this person also has a filial niece who has spoken a lot of good things to him in his Majesty's ear, so he was able to return to the court. Now he has become the guard Shaoqing. As long as he finds Brother Po Jun, there is absolutely no problem."

When Yu Wenhua and his colleague were talking about his tone, his tone was full of disdain. Although they were all from Guanlong noble families, the Yuwen family and the Li family were very disagreeable. However, Li Yuan was an accident. Although he was a member of the Li family, he seemed to be able to get along with everyone. However, this was also looked down upon by the aristocratic families.

Chen Kefu looked at Yu Wen and looked at Yu Wen and in surprise on the horse, "Brother Yu Wen, are Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang from the Eight Pillar Country?"

Yu Wenji smiled and said, "I never thought that Brother Pojun could hear this person, it was this person. I wondered how hero Li Hu was back then. It's a pity that he has such a useless descendant. I believe that if Li Hu knows about the country spring, he will sigh."

Chen Kefu's heart was already full of thoughts. He did not expect that Emperor Gaozu of Tang was such an image in the eyes of the world. Li Yuan was a very awesome founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty in history, and the history books praised him very much. He did not expect that he would hear Yu Wen and such comments here now. This is really like chess. He can never see the real situation clearly in chess.

"Mr. Yuwen is joking, and I occasionally hear it. I heard that Mr. Li is a good social person, but he is a good man." Chen Kefu said casually. Now he said to Yu Wenhua and said in person, I know that Li Yuan will become the emperor in the future and create a foundation for the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. Even if he really says this, there will probably not be anyone in the world who believes in him. Li Yuan is really unable to associate him with the word emperor.

Yu Wenji suddenly looked up and down at Chen Kefu, stroked his beard and smiled, "Can Brother Pojun also hear that the third lady of the Li Yuan family is beautiful? Because Brother Li is young and promising, it is appropriate if he wants to marry Li Yuan. Although Li Yuan's family is nothing in the court now, his family is also a great nobleman in Guanlong and a royal relative. If Brother Pojun really marrys his daughter, it will be of no benefit to Brother Pojun."

"However, although I have never seen his daughter, I heard that the woman was a woman who was not allowed to be rude and was quite tough. Many nobles who wanted to marry the Li family were worried that they would not be able to surrender such a woman after marriage. Although Brother Pojun was young and promising, his family background was a little worse. If you really want to marry this woman, you have to think about these things first, otherwise Brother Pojun would be famous for his lifetime and would be a laughing stock at that time."

Chen Kefu just kept silent. He now found that this flirtatious young man was still a very gossipy person, and his mouth was full of some things. However, he was really interested in the Li family. Regardless of whether history can really develop as he knew in the past, it would be good to meet Li Yuan first now. If the Li family really lives in the world in the future, he can leave a way out for himself and make friends.

As the Shaoqing of the Guard, Li Yuan was in charge of the world's arsenal. He was equivalent to a logistics minister and a general equipment minister in later generations. After Yu Wen and riding a horse for a while, he arrived at the tent where Li Yuan's office was working.

"I wonder what important things are there for Yuwen Shaoqing and General Chen coming?" Li Yuan hurriedly stood up to greet them when he saw them coming in.

Yu Wenhua said casually, "Brother Shude, today I came to introduce our young and promising General Chen Pojun to Brother Shude. Secondly, Brother Pojun has something to do and wants Brother Shude to help."

Chen Kefu looked at Li Yuan in front of him very seriously. He was as timid as Yu Wenhua and what he said. He smiled whenever he saw him, and could not see the domineering aura that an emperor should have. This made Chen Kefu feel a little disappointed. He thought that although Yang Guang was a king who lost his country, the pressure on Yang Guang was sometimes really surrendered. But the Emperor Gaozu in front of him made him unable to feel a little bit of apology.

It seems that the times are creating heroes. Li Yuan in front of him is just a cautious nobleman. Maybe he will not believe that he will become the founding king in the future.

Chen Kefu stepped forward and bowed to Li Yuangong, "Duke Tang, I have something to come here this time to ask for help. I am here to be loved by Your Majesty and expanded to 10,000 people. Now all the soldiers have arrived in the camp, but only people have come without weapons. Now we are all in the enemy country, and the whole army is also looking forward to fighting with the enemy as soon as possible and making new contributions. How can this happen without weapons? According to Brother Yuwen, I am here to ask for help from Mr. Tang, hoping to solve this urgent problem for my ten thousand soldiers in the camp."

After hearing this, Li Yuan frowned and felt a little embarrassed. Although he was in charge of the arsenal, it would not be easy to deal with without the orders from above.

Yu Wenhe said impatiently, "Brother Shude, General Chen is a celebrity in front of His Majesty. He has been a third-rank man in the dynasty and has made new contributions this time. He will definitely be promoted again tomorrow. Moreover, General Chen has a very good relationship with my Yu Wen family. Could it be that Brother Shude doesn't even give me such a face to my Yu Wen family?" Yu Wenhe said that later, I was a little aggressive.

"Duke Tang, I am the personal army of Your Majesty. Mr. Tang will not let me wait to protect Your Majesty naked, right? Is this a matter of disregarding Your Majesty's safety? Mr. Tang, you have to think clearly? If Mr. Tang is willing to help me, I will definitely remember this intention. This time, I brought a lot of novel things back from the new city. I will send some to Mr. Tang later. Please accept it with a smile, don't refuse." Chen Kefu didn't care too much at this time, and took Yang Guang's banner and began to use both soft and hard.

When Li Yuan heard this, his face was sweating. He knew very well that the emperor nowadays was very afraid of people from the aristocratic families and often had suspicions. If Chen Kefu really asked him to sue him in front of the emperor and said that he deliberately did not give the emperor's personal weapons, he would still have a life. With the current emperor's personality, he might take it seriously.

"Mr. Yuwen, General Chen, this matter is in charge of the lower lord. It is all for His Majesty. Why is the lower lord a little negligent? I don't know what kind of weapons General Chen needs and how many, but please ask General Chen to write a clause to the lower lord, and the lower lord will immediately transfer it to the general."

Chen Kefu was very happy when he heard this. Today, he had made a desperate attempt to break the military camp and even Li Yuan blackmailed him. If Li Yuan really becomes the emperor in the future, I wonder if he will hold a grudge against this matter in the future.

"Thank you so much for Mr. Tang. I don't know if Mr. Tang can take me to visit the arsenal. I want to take a look at various weapons before making a list." Since Li Yuan was so polite, Chen Kefu didn't want to waste the opportunity for blackmail. This is the General Equipment Department of the Sui Dynasty. Although he is in Liaodong now, he will definitely not be as rich as he was in China. However, no matter what, this is the department that manages the equipment of millions of troops. If he really encounters a good guy, he will not be ruthless.

"General Chen, Lord Yuwen, this matter is fine. However, although a lot of weapons and equipment were transported to Liao this time, it is still too simple than the various major arsenals of Weiwei Temple in our Great Sui Dynasty. General Chen, Lord Yuwen, come with me, the warehouse is not far away."

Although Li Yuan always said that this place was simple, when Chen Kefu walked into the large area of ​​tents that were told to be the equipment warehouse, he was still shocked. It was indeed a battle of the country. Just the tents that piled up various weapons and equipment could stretch for miles. The cowhide tents made Chen Kefu's eyes look red.

"General Chen, all the piles of horizontal swords in the warehouse here are necessary for the soldiers, so they are the most common ones. In addition, the warehouses there are crossbows, bows and arrows, arrows, spears, rifles, armor, and some large siege equipment. If you want any equipment, please make a list of them. I will send them to General Chen later."
