Chapter 111: Look far ahead
"General Du, why should we cook for those women?"
"Then why did your lord make such a decision?"
"We are all the guards of the Crown Prince's East Palace. If word of this spreads, even His Highness the Crown Prince will be disgraced."
In the camp, Du He led more than a hundred people and was making pots of rice.
They were originally the garrison of Prince Li Chengqian of the Eastern Palace, and were sent here by the emperor to take charge of security.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen used his public power for private purposes and ordered them to join Li Ruoshuang's Women's Army.
Although he did not participate in the siege, he had to cook for the female soldiers.
When the soldiers thought about it, a dignified old man cooked for a woman, they felt helpless in their hearts.
Du He was clenching his teeth at this moment. Looking at the pot that had just been buried in front of him, he kicked it over in anger!
"You bastard, how dare you take revenge on someone so openly!" Du He cursed coldly.
He understood that Zhao Chen did this just to avenge himself for his previous disdain for him in the tavern.
This Zhao Chen is really a villain!
"Du He, you'd better bury this pot immediately, otherwise you will be disobeying the order of the envoy. The sword in my hand does not have eyes!" Li Ruoshuang stood aside and looked at Du He calmly.
Li Ruoshuang had just returned from Zhao Chen's place and had seen the power of the Eagle Claw Flying Crossbow. Now she was full of confidence.
I couldn't help but feel even more grateful to Zhao Chen in my heart. How could I tolerate others saying bad things about Zhao Chen?
Du He glared at Li Ruoshuang, feeling extremely angry.
"What, do you want to compete with me, or do you think I don't dare to attack you?" Li Ruoshuang said lightly, with the sword in his hand already unsheathed.
Du He lowered his head and slowly loosened his tightly clenched fists.
He knew that he was no match for Li Ruoshuang.
Li Ruoshuang is a madman, someone who dares to put a prince in a sack and beat him up. Will he care about Du He's life or death?
"Li Ruoshuang, I will definitely tell your majesty about this matter. The East Palace guards are being used by Zhao Chen to do miscellaneous things. The royal dignity
, they were all thrown away by him! "While Du He was talking to Li Ruoshuang, he picked up the pot that he had just kicked over in his hand.
"The royal family has lost all their dignity, but as for who it is because of, that's not necessarily the case!" Li Ruoshuang sneered and scolded, "Hurry up and get the meal ready within an hour!"
…
"Father, my son is suing the envoy Zhao Chen!"
Early the next morning, Prince Li Chengqian was the first to speak in the Tai Chi Hall.
It was a complaint to sue Zhao Chen.
"What does the prince want to say?"
Li Shimin was worried about the defeat of the Women's Army, so he didn't sleep much all night.
Li Chengqian wanted to sue Zhao Chen again, which made Li Shimin even more impatient, and his tone was naturally not very good.
Li Chengqian naturally heard the dissatisfaction in the emperor's tone, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He secretly said that he is your biological son, Li Shimin, so it’s okay for you to dote on that fat little Li Tai.
Now even Zhao Chen, a small commoner, has to talk to him so impatiently.
Li Chengqian's hands hidden in his sleeves were squeezed tightly.
However, Li Chengqian also knew very well that if he said anything rebellious at this time, he would probably be captured immediately.
Doesn't this make that fat guy Li Tai go along with his wishes?
"Father, under my son, the East Palace garrison commanded by Du He was ordered to go and be responsible for the safety of the martial arts performance."
"Then Zhao Chen used his public power for personal use and recruited the East Palace garrison. If it was for business, that would be fine. He actually asked Du He and others to cook for Li Ruoshuang and those female soldiers!"
"The guards of the East Palace have turned into cooks. The royal family has been disgraced. Please punish me severely!" Li Chengqian said loudly.
"Is there such a thing?"
"That's ridiculous?" Zhangsun
Wuji frowned and scolded coldly.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Chen is just an envoy and he dares to be disrespectful to the prince. He needs to be severely punished!" Fang Xuanling also said.
Yesterday, his wife Yiai was asked by Zhao Chen to feed the horses.
Isn't this a slap in the face to Fang Xuanling?
"Your Majesty, this Zhao Chen is just a common man. The emperor's grace has made him a good envoy, but he has done evil. The two countries' military exercises have become child's play."
"If this son is not punished, how can we lose face in the Tang Dynasty?" someone else said.
They all knew that there was no movement at all in the martial arts performance that was supposed to start yesterday.
Someone came over in the morning to report that Li Ruoshuang was running with the female soldiers.
How does this look like you take martial arts seriously?
It was already impossible for three hundred people to capture the city camp in two days. .??.
One night passed, and there was no movement from them?
This is obviously giving up on martial arts.
Compared to being ridiculed by the Tibetan envoys and poked in the back by the people of the Tang Dynasty, they wanted to take advantage of now to quickly deal with Zhao Chen, the culprit!
"Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, what do you two think?" Li Shimin frowned.
Now the crowd is excited, and all the ministers are clamoring to deal with Zhao Chen.
Even Li Shimin couldn't directly protect him.
"Your Majesty, although Zhao Zhengshi is young, he is experienced in handling affairs. Even Lu Dongzan has suffered losses at the hands of Zhao Chen several times. I believe that Zhao Zhengshi was not untargeted in this martial arts performance."
"Think about it, there will be a strange move later." Cheng Yaojin stood up and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded, his face looking much better.
"Your Majesty, I asked Ambassador Zhao about this matter yesterday. Ambassador Zhao said that we will see the outcome tonight!" Qin Qiong came out and said to Li Shimin.
"Tonight? Hehe, it's a joke. If three hundred people can go up to the mountain tonight, it will be awesome!"
"Thank you for saying it!" someone choked.
"That is, if it is so easy to attack a city, why can't our territory of the Tang Dynasty be expanded thousands of times?"
"We will see the outcome tonight, won't we lose tonight?"
"Your Majesty, minister..."
"Your Majesty, Ambassador Zhao asked me to give a message to all the ministers." Cheng Yaojin said to Li Shimin.
The ministers who were still mocking just now became quiet when they heard this sentence.
They wanted to know what Zhao Chen asked Cheng Yaojin to bring.
"Well, let's hear it!" Li Shimin nodded.
"Zhao Chen asked me to tell the ministers that if you can't do something yourself, don't think that others can't do it either."
"Man, you have to look far ahead!"
…
Evening, midnight.
In the western suburbs of Chang'an, at the foot of the mountain where martial arts are performed.
Li Ruoshuang, with an army of one hundred women, set foot in this area again.
Yesterday, she came down from here.
The strongness of the city camp in the mountain once made her have no confidence.
But, today...
"One word long snake formation, watch out for spies." Li Ruoshuang, wearing bright silver armor and holding a sharp sword in hand, ordered.
One hundred women's troops dispersed instantly and moved forward in a long snake formation.
Each person was five meters apart and surged up the mountain like a wave.
In this way, the enemy has nowhere to hide.
At this moment, the Tubo camp was completely silent.
Torches were erected at the top of the city, and a few sparse Tibetan guards were leaning against the city wall listlessly.
One day and one night, no women's army of the Tang Dynasty was seen attacking them.
Even Lu Dong praised himself and believed that Datang gave up this martial arts performance.
They only need to spend these two days here to win.
