Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

After hearing this, Zhou Daowu thought carefully about whether this was indeed the case, and couldn't help but ask:

"What about the prince's opinion?"

Li Shen did not answer but said to Xue Rengui:

"Rengui, please tell me."

After hearing this, Xue Rengui was not humble and said:

"His Majesty, if you let me arrange the arrangements, we will definitely unite our troops. Our Tang army is well-equipped. An army of 50,000 can withstand a barbarian army of 100,000.

If the opponent is an ordinary army, we can even withstand their 150,000-strong army without falling behind.

Moreover, there are 100,000 workers here, all young and strong, who can also take up arms and serve as an army at critical moments.

Unless they dispatch 300,000 troops, they will not be our opponent. "

Xue Rengui said it very confidently. This is because the Tang Dynasty has long used less to attack more. When Songtsen Gampo invaded the Tang Dynasty, he attacked all the way to Songzhou.

Niu Jinda made a sneak attack and chased hundreds of thousands of Tubo people. Against Tuyuhun, he also defeated more with less.

The military god Li Jing has countless records of defeating more with less.

"Rengui is right. It's better to defeat each one than to join together. Then it will be too late to escape." Just when Xue Rengui said it well, Li Shen interjected.

Let the whole atmosphere be ruined.

"I will make arrangements now to gather everyone at Chiling Mountain Pass." Zhou Daowu said quickly.

Li Shen waved to Zhou Daowu and Liu Su and asked them to go down and do their own things, while Li Shen continued to stay on the hillside.

"Xuance, do you think what Rengui said just now is right?" Li Shen asked, looking at the construction site and the crowd below.

"My lord, I think Rengui did the right thing." Wang Xuance replied without hesitation.

"That's because I'm here, and I know what Rengui means. But I feel... I feel..." Li Shen couldn't go on. He also felt it was right in his heart, but he wanted to make a decision. brand.

"There is no need to bear any burden on the prince. As long as the prince is safe, everything is worth it. For us, even if these 150,000 people die, it is worth it if we can exchange for the prince's life."

Xue Rengui said bluntly.

Li Shen's presence can guarantee the interests of all of them.

Xue Rengui proposed that the troops below should be united in one place. The purpose was very clear. When danger was encountered, these 50,000 people would be able to resist in front.

Then two thousand guards from the escort battalion, plus three thousand Zuoxiao cavalry, will protect Li Shen's safe transfer back to the Central Plains.

The purpose is cruel, but very realistic.

"Alas~~" Li Shen sighed, then pointed at the person below and asked:

"Do you think that if I were not a prince, but just a commoner, would I be like them, running around for a living?"

"I don't think so. The prince is a man of great talent. Even if he is not the prince, he will be prosperous.

Aren’t all the properties of the palace built by the prince himself? Wang Xuance comforted him.

"Shit, Xuance doesn't need to comfort me. If the properties in the palace were not my property, they would have been taken away by princes, nobles or noble families.

Especially for aristocratic families, you and I know very well how their family fortune came about.

They stole and plundered, and many people were ruined by them. The shops with good locations in the East Market all belong to them.

If I hadn't been fighting with them these years, Dongshi would have almost become theirs. "Li Shen knew it well.

There are no laws in this feudal society. Feudal society can only be reasonable and law-abiding when people have equal status.

It was not uncommon for nobles to oppress common people, and it was commonplace.

In the past ten years, Li Shen has even seen cases where nobles killed civilians and officials were fined with compensation.

"Why is the prince so emotional?" As the chief historian, it is also one of the responsibilities to counsel the prince about his heart ailments and prevent him from going astray.

"It's nothing, just moaning for no reason. Maybe it's because I've eaten too much. I don't know how blessed I am when I'm in the midst of blessings.

Or idle panic. "Li Shen made an accurate summary of his behavior.

People can't eat too much, otherwise they will always think about what they have and what they don't have. But workers like the workers below have never complained.

Because they don't have time or energy to think about these things.

"Come here, set up camp here. I want to see the scenery here. And roast sheep tonight. Reward the guards and Zuo Xiaowei. They have worked hard to protect me all the way."

Putting aside some unrealistic ideas, Li Shen chose to enjoy life. Roast the whole lamb in the evening.

~~~~~~~~~~

Fuzhou Port, also known as Jiwang Port by locals as the exclusive Jiwangfu Port, received a batch of cargo ships today.

It is not surprising that cargo ships come to Kioh Port. Because Kioh Mansion is building Kioh Port, cargo ships often arrive.

It's just that today's cargo ships are different. The cargo ships did not enter the port, but entered the dock in batches.

There are shields all around the dock, and people outside can't see what's going on inside.

At this moment, there is a group of people standing on the shore of the dock. One of the leaders is the steward who has been responsible for all matters in Fuzhou Port.

Wei Fugui's son Wei Zheng, the other dressed as a scholar, is Zhao Derong, the deputy leader of the pirate group and the fourth oldest.

"Manager Wei, this batch of goods is all good stuff. They are materials shipped by the family to Japan, Silla and other places, as well as porcelain and silk." Zhao Derong said with a smile.

But his tone was very polite. He knew that Wei Zheng's father was the chief steward of Prince Ji's Mansion and was responsible for the daily affairs of Prince Ji's Mansion.

The grandfather followed the imperial concubine's father. His father served Imperial Concubine Wei and now served Prince Ji. In the future, Wei Zheng would succeed his father as the steward of Prince Ji's Palace and continue to serve Prince Ji's Palace.

He couldn't afford to offend such a person. Ever since he was almost scared to death by No. 76, he now looked at everyone like a spy from Prince Ji's Mansion.

Nowadays, I don’t dare to have any evil thoughts, for fear that if I say the wrong thing one day, I will lose my life while sleeping.

Fortunately, things have been calm since then, and Prince Ji's Mansion has not punished him, and it has also been kind to his family in Huangzhuang.

The share given to him will be sent to his home. Now several of his children are in school.

One of them will take the imperial examination next year, which made him put away his thoughts that he shouldn't have.

"Don't worry, Captain Zhao. I will register truthfully, including your share, and tell other members that their share will be sent back to their homes." Wei Zheng said with the same smile.

"Haha, thank you very much, Manager Wei. Many brothers want to renovate their houses and have more children." Zhao Derong also laughed.

Isn't it just for the sake of a better life for the family that comes out to work hard?

"Captain Zhao, I hope you can manage your members well and not let them say things they shouldn't. Remember that they are said to be joining the caravan of Prince Ji's Mansion.

The prince is very busy now. Those of us who are servants should not cause trouble for the prince. It will not be good for anyone. "Although Wei Zheng is responsible for the construction of Fuzhou Port, he also takes care of some matters of the pirate group.

"Yes, yes, manager Wei, don't worry, they have taken so much money, no one wants to lose this job.

By the way, Manager Wei, I have one more thing to ask Manager Wei to tell the prince on your behalf.

We discovered something. "Zhao Derong nodded repeatedly and said to Wei Zheng.

"what's up?"

"We found spices in the southern seas, lots and lots of spices!"
