Chapter 204: Good News

On the top of the city, Chai Shao frowned deeply. Since he confirmed that Asani was captured by Xi Yunfei, he had never been at ease for a moment.

The same was true for Cheng Yaojin. Seeing that Liang Jun had already started to unload his camp in the distance, although he felt relieved, he always felt like he was up and down, and felt very upset.

"What kind of magical and ghost-like means did that kid use to capture Asani? Also, how did they sneak attack the back camp of Liang Kingdom? What exactly is the Thunder Fire and the Special High Hall?"

Chai Shao asked three questions in a row, but they have discussed the last two questions many times in the past few days, but there is no conclusion yet.

Cheng Yaojin's face was not very good, and she was so dark that Xi Yunfei's attitude towards him over the past few days made him a little irritated, and he also secretly blamed Chai Shao for his bad things.

In Cheng Yaojin's view, Xi Yunfei had to hand over the Shuofang East City directly to the country.

If Chai Shao hadn't tried it for no reason, there wouldn't be a follow-up to Xi Yunfei's forced occupation of the inner city.

Not to mention that he would not be like this today, even though he had captured Asaniel, but Xi Yunfei refused to hand over the person.

You should know that once the Tang Dynasty and the Turks go to war, prisoners of Ashinnier of the level are strong bargaining chips that can turn the situation around.

But, Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao dared not ask for someone openly.

As Chai Shao said, Xi Yunfei could capture Asaniel without knowing it, attack the enemy's rear camp at night under their noses, and even the existence of thunder and fire that was unknown to the gods.

In front of Xi Yunfei like this, Cheng Yaojin himself had no confidence to talk to him.

"I don't know, I don't know anything about it. Don't ask me anymore. I want to know to ask that brat myself."

Cheng Yaojin was in a bad mood, so he threw Chai Shao's big eyes and turned around and walked down the city. He wanted to find a place to get drunk before he could stop.

Chai Shao stared at Cheng Yaojin's leaving back in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. But for a moment, his originally indifferent expression changed, and he reached out to take out a folded rice paper from his arms, and said with a smile: "No matter what, with this thing, the Turks would no longer have any threat to the Tang Dynasty."

······

······

On October 28, in the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin made his eldest son, Li Chengqian, the king of Zhongshan, the crown prince.

In the half month after Xi Yunfei left Jingyang, a lot of things happened in Chang'an.

First, Li Shimin personally gave a funeral for his brothers, and then Wei Zheng's daughter married into the royal family and married King Li Yuangui of Wu.

After the major event of the White and Red Villages, Li Shimin asked the sky in Taimiao, establishing his status as the 95th Five, and at the same time appointing the prince to announce to the world.

It’s not that Li Shimin is impatient, mainly because the current situation is still unstable. It is said that one must first settle the inside out. After he ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty booed repeatedly. Although no one dared to say those ugly words in front of him, he had many eyes and ears, so it was clear who was dissatisfied with him.

Li Shimin knew very well that his image of killing his brother and imprisoning his father was made solid for a while. If he wanted to make everyone believe that he could be a good emperor, he would be able to come up with some achievements as soon as possible.

Only when everyone gets the benefits will these people choose to shut up one by one, and even slowly believe that only they can lead them to the peak of their lives.

Then, good things really come.

On the morning court, the drum sounds from the palace gate were shaking the sky, and a total of eighteen beats were beaten. This was not the morning bell and evening drum that reported the time, but the drum sounded with emergency military information.

Li Shimin was very scared because a moment ago, Fang Xuanling was reporting that there might be snow disasters on Henan Road this year, and Jiangnan Road was also afraid that floods would be raging due to the rain for several days.

He had just become emperor, and there was no good news in the world. Li Shimin said that he was tired and even more tired.

Suddenly, when he heard the drum beat, he instinctively remembered the Turks who had just retreated. If there was another foreign enemy invasion at this critical moment, Li Shimin would have the urge to return the throne to his father.

Fortunately, the drum sounded as soon as it stopped, and a cry outside the palace gate went from far to near.

"Yanzhou Good News, Yanzhou Good News."

Good news refers generally to the news of victory in the war.

Li Shimin was happy at first, then frowned slightly. Yanzhou Chai Shao's territory seems to have not asked him to send troops to attack whom?

Li Shimin was a little unhappy. The general who went out of the army without permission was not a good brother-in-law, but he was curious about the specific content of the good news.

Soon, the sender rushed into the hall, held the oil cloth bag in both hands and stood in front of the hall, and Yu Changsun Wuji stood beside him. This was the closest distance to Li Shimin. No matter how close he was, he might be killed as an assassin.

The little eunuch Huang An looked at Li Shimin and saw him staring at the tart cloth bag with confusion. He hurriedly walked down and reached out to take the tart cloth bag. He did not open it on the spot, but walked to the side hall and opened it by a special person, fearing that the package would be poisonous.

After confirming that the package was fine, Huang An took the note inside and delivered it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin, who looked nervous, took the note and opened it for a while.

During this process, Li Shimin's mouth widened and wider, and later he was shocked and couldn't stop.

Changsun Wuji, who was standing closest, couldn't see Li Shimin losing his composure and hurriedly coughed to remind him.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, I wonder what military information this Yanzhou sent, which made Your Majesty so worried?"

The sound was not loud, and it happened to be heard by Li Shimin. Huang An, who was standing next to him, looked at Changsun Wuji, hurriedly reached out and patted Li Shimin's arm gently. His movements were subtle, but no one noticed it. Only Changsun Wuji looked at him gratefully.

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Huang An. When he saw his eyes and nose, he realized that he was still sitting in the hall.

After tidying up his sleeves awkwardly, Li Shimin raised his hand and raised the note in his hand and said loudly: "Yanzhou sent a good news. Chai Ma, the prince-ma, was wise and powerful, and instigated the counterfeit Liang general Li Zhengbao, and cooperated inside and outside to take down Shuofang East City, and at the same time killed Liang Luoren, the general of the fake Liang. Haha, at this point, our northern defense of the Tang Dynasty will fill another city. Chai Ma, this move, can be said to be a great hero in expanding territory. It should be rewarded, and it should be rewarded!"

Li Shimin was very happy. There was a lot of bad news just now. Now there was finally a good thing that defied the heavens to change the topic. He hurriedly blew Chai Shao into a panic.

The ministers in the lower head looked at each other, and some old ministers from the original Tiance Mansion were slightly stunned. They could not understand Chai Shao very much, and they had enough stability and lacked exploration. Not to mention the major event of taking down Shuofang East City, even if he was asked to leave the city to pursue the invading enemy, he would not dare to do so.

"Could it be that he is not stingy?" Li Jie looked at Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong shook his head: "It's better to wait until you read the content in that memorial. If it is really related to the knowledge of the truth, Your Majesty has already praised you just now."

Li Ji nodded thoughtfully and stopped talking.

However, Li Jing, who stood on one side of the two, looked strange. Although he was not from the Tiance Mansion, he was loyal to Li Tang and knew quite well about Chai Shao, the son-in-law. It can be said that there were no unfamiliar with the dozens of generals in the Tang Dynasty. After all, the military strategy is said to be true, and you will be able to win a hundred battles.

Therefore, Li Jing not only understood the generals of the enemy country thoroughly, but also conducted detailed analysis and data collection for his own people.

In his opinion, Chai Shao could not make such great achievements. It was not that Chai Shao had no ambition, but that he did not have such ability at all.

As for Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing thought about it and thought it was impossible, because Cheng Yaojin was not the kind of wise general who played tricks. If the person who instigated Li Zhengbao was Li Ji next to him, Li Jing might have made a letter of seven or eight, but if it was Cheng Yaojin's straightforward man, Li Jing said it was impossible.

However, it is not the time to consider these things. As the newly appointed Minister of War, Li Jing went out to the crowd and suggested: "Your Majesty, if the prince Chai has taken down the eastern city of Shuofang, then for the sake of this, we should send troops to support as soon as possible. Yanzhou is a pass, and if too many troops are split in Yanzhou to guard Shuofang, there may be changes. We should send people from the rear to reinforce."

As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, Fang Xuanling also stood up and reported: "Not only the military and horses need to be in place as soon as possible, but also the civil servants who manage the city should be selected as soon as possible. These people went there to comfort the people, and secondly, they could recruit new recruits on the spot and supplement the city's defense."
