Chapter 517: Joining the army with the army

The words of shadows are enough to shock everyone.

Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, everyone can hear it clearly.

At this moment, the civil servants only remembered that Zhong Wen was a cruel person.

They remembered that when Zhong Wen first came to Chang'an, he killed countless people while guarding the palace.

They even remembered the people who killed the Tubo delegation. They also remembered the incident when Zhong Wen faced the Kong family, Zhong Wen's younger sister led hundreds of boys to siege him.

They also heard that Zhong Wen was dealing with the Tubo masters in Songzhou.

When they thought about all kinds of things, they realized that Zhong Wen was really not a good person to talk to.

If it were as the shadow said, if Zhong Wen really returned to Chang'an City, what they would face was not Zhong Wen, but a murderous demon.

Who is not afraid of death?

I think there isn't.

Moreover, with this way of death, they would rather go to war to die than die at Zhong Wen's hands.

When they die on the battlefield, they can still gain fame and leave something for their family. At least, within one or two generations, their descendants can rest assured.

However, if he really died at Zhong Wen's hands, he would probably die like that.

When Li Shimin saw the shadow suddenly leaving, he shouted and left afterwards.

With Li Shimin's departure, the hall started to talk again.

Inside and outside the hall, both civil officials and military generals were discussing some things with each other.

For example, at this time, Cheng Yaojin was asking the Zongzheng Temple Seqing carefully, "Li Siqing, do we control the people above first? Otherwise, in this scattered dynasty, these people might have to go home to destroy some evidence."

"Duke Cheng Guo was right." Li Zhong received Cheng Yaojin's reminder, responded, and quickly walked towards Li Shan and said, "General Li, the officials in this book should be arrested and sent to the Ministry of Justice."

"Li Siqing, Prince Li, Duke Cheng, don't worry, they have no chance to turn the tables. I have already sent people to wait for their residence. Even the hometowns of these people, I have sent people to arrest them." When Li Shan checked the people recorded in the booklet, he had already started to make arrangements.

This is a big deal, and he also believed that Li Shimin would follow the direction he guessed, so he was already prepared.

"Okay, then, Commander Li, please arrest these people and send them to the Ministry of Justice. Xiaogong and I can verify them one by one." Li Zhong was very happy after hearing Li Shan's words.

At this time, many people in the civil servant group were very nervous.

There are many people who don’t know what is written in the booklet, and they don’t know who is on the list on the booklet.

However, with Li Shan's order, the guards began to rush into the civil servant group to arrest people.

"Commander Li, is it appropriate for you to behave like this?" Changsun Wuji was very angry when he saw one of his officials being arrested and was about to stop Li Shan from arresting people.

"Duke Zhao, if you want to stop me from doing things, is it going against the will of the emperor? If Duke Zhao really wants to stop me, the sword in my hand may not necessarily know you Duke Zhao." Li Shan said with a smile on his face with Changsun Wuji.

Li Shan had no good feelings for Changsun Wuji.

Once upon a time when he was still in a perfect state, Changsun Wuji would always ignore his commander of the palace city, and even think that he is a Duke and a royal relative. He ignores the rules of the palace city, and even ignores him, Li Shan, and goes straight to the palace city.

Now, Li Shan, who is already in the innate realm, no longer takes Changsun Wuji seriously.

Even if he is a royal relative, he no longer takes it seriously.

After all, Li Shan had already entered the Taiyi Sect, and his heart began to calm down and no longer be obsessed with the worldly affairs. This position of command or not is no longer in his heart.

It is inevitable to conflict with Changsun Wuji, and Li Shan used this to correct his responsibilities as the leader.

"You..." Changsun Wuji was so angry that he was speechless by Li Shan's expression and smile at this time.

Although he was not afraid of Li Shan, he was afraid of shadows.

If the shadow is, it will definitely take root and no one can ignore it, even Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji was speechless, but inside and outside the hall was in turmoil.

It is not uncommon to arrest officials in the palace.

But today dozens of people were arrested, which has already broken the Tang Dynasty since its founding.

Speaking of Zhong Wen from Shancheng at this time.

He didn't know anything about what happened in Chang'an City.

After they arrived in Shancheng, they had never left for several days.

It’s not that Zhong Wen doesn’t want to leave, nor is it that there is any big noise in Tuguhun.

Instead, the guard general Li Daliang dissuaded Zhong Wen, causing Zhong Wen to temporarily take his men to Tuguhun.

However, within these few days, what Zhong Wen and the others should have added, and only horses are left to livestock.

One day, Zhong Wen came to the military camp not far from the west of Shancheng.

At this moment, Zhong Wen was talking to Li Daliang, "General Li, when did you lend me horses? It has been a few days since then. Should you lend me some horses, right?"

"Zhong Shaobao, I have to make a long-term plan for the matter of being buried in the Valley. I can lend you the horses, but I have to report this to General Li Jing and General Li? If something happens to you, Mr. Zhong, you, when you enter the Valley, I will not be able to bear the responsibility." Li Daliang responded with a smile.

In fact, he was responsible for the area around Shancheng. If the people of the Tang Dynasty wanted to get into the valley, they naturally needed to get their approval and the discs they issued.

When Zhong Wen suddenly came to Shancheng, even if he was a governor, he had to report to him about Zhong Wen and his friends' trip.

"General Li, you don't need to be responsible for our trip to Tuguhun. Besides, we can wait, but the people of my Lizhou can't wait. If General Li doesn't want to lend me a horse, then I have nothing to say. Even if I hire some cattle and horses tomorrow, I will definitely go to Tuguhun." Zhong Wen said helplessly.

Li Daliang was unwilling to lend him a horse, so he had no choice but to do anything.

Although they brought some horses to this trip, these horses could not really get them into the Tuguhu, and they went to the hinterland of Tuguhuhuhu.

Be tough?

Zhong Wen has thought about this problem.

But Zhong Wen is a civilized man after all, so it is better not to do anything about robbing horses.

Besides, Shancheng is not unable to hire cattle and horses, and at worst it can only spend more money.

"Zhong Shaobao, don't be anxious, come and sit down and talk. It's just right, I have something to ask you for advice." Seeing that Zhong Wen was going to Tuguhun, Li Daliang quickly pulled Zhong Wen to sit down.

"General Li, tell me, how can you lend me a horse? If you really don't lend it, we have nothing to say." Zhong Wen was also very concerned about horses. If Li Daliang didn't lend it, he could only return to Shancheng to hire him.

"Zhong Shaobao, you see, there are still many salt-producing places in Tuguhun. However, as far as I know, those salt lands are occupied by many Tuguhun tribes. Although Zhong Shaobao is skilled and brave, he is not afraid of those tribes. If it is as Zhong Shaobao said, the salt will be transported to Lizhou after it is harvested, I think the amount must be very large, right?" Li Daliang asked with a smile.

Zhong Wen looked at Li Daliang with a very slouching look, which made Zhong Wen's eyes twitch.

"General Li, tell me, what do you want to do." Seeing Li Daliang like this, Zhong Wen was wondering whether he had any ideas.

"Zhong Shaobao also knew that our Western Route Army was not very rich, the national treasury was empty, and the soldiers could not eat enough. Although there was no shortage of meat, there was a shortage of food. In recent years, there have always been many disasters in our country of Tang, and the output of grain has also decreased accordingly, and the price of grain has also risen." Li Daliang said lightly.

"Tell me, don't go around it." After hearing this, Zhong Wen understood what Li Daliang was going to make.

"Hehe, I'll just say that Zhong Shaobao is so young and he is in a high position. You can guess what I, Li, thinks at a glance. For salt, Zhong Shaobao must not only benefit the people of Lizhou. Once the output of this salt is large, it must be sold. Zhong Shaobao, otherwise, we will jointly occupy the salt land in Tuguhun. Do you think this matter is feasible?" Li Daliang smiled and showed his two pairs of front teeth.

"Are you waiting for me here? No wonder you have been reluctant to lend me horses these days. Do you really think that without your horse, we will not be able to reach the salt-producing place?" Zhong Wen said angrily without expressing his voice.

"Young Master Zhong, you are wronged. How dare I set up a trap to deceive Zhong Shaobao? This military horse is really not something I can decide. Besides, I have a lot of military horses. I lent Zhong Shaobao about a hundred horses. But if something goes wrong, you, Mr. Zhong, will be fine, but I, as a general, will probably be done." Li Daliang immediately said with a sad face after hearing Zhong Wen's words.

"Then what kind of partnership method do you think?" After hearing this, Zhong Wen also knew that military horses were not easy to borrow. In other words, Zhong Wen just wanted to borrow some consigned baggage horses.

However, there are indeed a number of horses in the army, but according to what Zhong Wen understood, if Li Daliang didn't lend him, he probably just wanted to join the gang.

How could a general not lend a horse? Besides, no horse can die if he says he dies. Besides, the number is not large, so where does it come from?

"Zhong Shaobao, let's do this... and then... then..." Li Daliang got Zhong Wen's question and talked about his plan with great interest.

After a long time, Zhong Wen also understood Li Daliang's plan, and at the same time, he also deepened the strategy and strategies of the generals.

As a military general, if you lead troops to fight, if you really don’t have any strategy, you will naturally not be able to lead troops.

However, Zhong Wen is not good at commenting on whether Li Daliang's plan came from himself. I think behind Li Daliang there is also a military advisor or something standing.

"General Li, what you said just now is feasible. If you really want to occupy the salt-producing place you mentioned, I, Lizhou, need to account for 70%. Moreover, you have to come out to help pick salt. The salt maker needs you to find it." Zhong Wen nodded after thinking for a while.

Zhong Wen thought the matter proposed by Li Daliang was feasible, but he pushed the matter to Li Daliang. One of his side only cared for transportation, and he didn't want to care about the others.

"Zhong Shaobao, this is not good. I'm the one who comes from me. You just need to transport it and account for 60% of it. That's absolutely not good, 40% or 40% at most." Li Daliang immediately opposed it when he heard Zhong Wen's 60% of it.
