Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 103 Hateful!Can kill!

In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Cheng sent away Yang Dayan, who led the troops to harass the Li army, without stopping, and took the remaining troops under his command and headed straight for Shicheng County.

Shicheng County is located in the southeast of Xiushan County. The two are both important border counties, but they are not far apart.

Originally, this Shicheng County was an important town on the border of Yun Country.Only after the Battle of Yongzhou, the border of Yun Kingdom moved eastward for hundreds of miles.Although this Shicheng County is no longer an important border town, the newly acquired four prefectures, all the supplies needed are supplied from here, and its importance has not diminished but increased.

Xiao Cheng led the troops day and night for two days, and then came to the city gate of Shicheng County.

The old Taiwei Tao Ai, who received the news in advance, had already led many officials to wait for a long time.

"Your Majesty, wait for me!" A group of officials, led by the old Taiwei, knelt down on the ground in unison.

Xiao Cheng got off his horse, helped up the old captain who was kneeling in front, looked at the wrinkled face of the old captain and the gray hair under the iron helmet, and said softly:

"The Taiwei has worked so hard, why should he be so polite!"

With a solemn face, Tao Ai said with a straight look:

"Your Majesty entrusts me with the high title of Taiwei. In this way, it is my duty to guard the territory for Your Majesty! It is only natural for me to perform my duties!"

Xiao Cheng nodded and said:

"What the Taiwei said is reasonable. If all civil and military officials are as the Taiwei thinks, I don't want to be so tired! Well, everyone, get up too! It is also a meritorious service to assist the Taiwei to guard Shicheng County. When everything is over , I have a reward for everyone!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the officials of Shicheng County shouted in unison.

"Okay, I will lead my troops and horses to march in a hurry for two days. I am exhausted and exhausted. Please make arrangements for me!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, officials from Shicheng County led Xiao Cheng's mixed army into the city for repairs.

Seeing the crowd disperse, the old Taiwei who was still stern just now looked around and said:

"There were officials in front of me before, so I didn't have much to say. Now that His Majesty is surrounded by cronies, if the old minister has something to say, would His Majesty be willing to listen to it?"

Xiao Cheng smiled, nodded and said:
"Why do you need to hesitate, the old Taiwei, just say it!"

The old Taiwei cupped his hands and said bluntly:
"As I said just now, I am a Taiwei, and my duty is to guard the territory for Your Majesty and the Yun Kingdom. And Your Majesty, as the army of a country, is responsible for handling government affairs and dispatching officials!"

When the old Taiwei said this, he already had a sense of being superior, and his words became more and more urgent:

"Your Majesty came to the battlefield in person, and even rushed to the battle, disregarding the body of ten thousand gold! You know that the battlefield is dangerous, if something happens, let the ministers, the officials in the court, and the entire Yun Kingdom, what should we do? People of insight, seeing that you don't care about your own safety, how can you be willing to offer loyalty to you?"

Xiao Cheng frowned, and subconsciously looked at the Goldfinger panel.

[Golden Emperor Card, Overlord of Western Chu—Xiang Yu

……

自矜功伐——1、……；2、……；3、亲密度低于70，且智力（武力）大于80的大臣，忠诚度-1
...]

Good guy, it turns out that this negative effect should be here!
Xiao Cheng heard the words, but gave a wry smile, and said:

"The Taiwei's lesson is very reasonable, but I also have my difficulties! Now I can use reliable generals in my hands, and most of them are sent to the northern border to resist the invasion of Xia Kingdom. The soldiers and horses in my hands now are fighting eastward. Those who came from Xicou can be called a mob. The rescue of Xiushan County a few days ago, if I hadn't personally rushed to the battle to boost morale, the Li army might have retreated safely in the end!"

These words are really not an excuse Xiao Cheng made for himself.

There are only three thousand imperial troops under his command.

Although the Miao soldiers obeyed his orders, there was a faint gap between them and the imperial army and the monk soldiers, making it difficult to cooperate in the battle.

Not to mention the monks and soldiers who were coerced by Xiao Cheng with righteousness!Not only dishes, but also different ideas!

If Xiao Cheng didn't make a move, then maybe Li Jun really retreated calmly!
Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, the old Taiwei's expression improved slightly, and he said in a low voice:
"I understand your majesty's difficulties! I just hope that your majesty will put safety first in the future!"

Xiao Cheng chuckled twice, covering it up.

At this time, the old Taiwei sternly sternly said:

"Your Majesty came at just the right time. Two letters have been sent from the frontier army, but His Majesty has to read them!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded and said:
"it is good."

The old Taiwei led Xiao Cheng to the yamen of Shicheng County, first took out a letter, held it to Xiao Cheng with both hands, and said:
"This is a letter from Tong Tianhua, General Tong Tianhua, together with thirteen other generals, requesting His Majesty to allow the Frontier Army to conquer the four states forever!"

Xiao Cheng frowned, and said in a deep voice:
"really?"

The old captain nodded.

Xiao Cheng's face sank, he opened the letter, and glanced at ten lines.

After reading it, Xiao Cheng sneered and said sharply:
"absurd!"

This condition is almost absurd to the point of unreasonable.

The land of the four states is not the most important thing.

Yunguo's 10,000+ frontier army is an elite force built with decades of treasury accumulation.If you agree to this request, it will almost turn the frontier army, which cost an unknown amount of national power, into this group of generals and private soldiers.
With such a request, Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing out of anger.

Seeing this, the old Taiwei took out the second letter and handed it to Xiao Cheng without saying a word, saying:

"Your Majesty, this is a letter secretly sent by Zhendong General Shi An."

He paused, then continued:
"In the letter, General Shi clearly stated that Tong Tianhua provoked many generals with such rebellious words. Firstly, the frontier generals were afraid of being liquidated by the court, and secondly, they were moved by his words. Many people have been bewitched by him. General Zhendong didn't dare to move lightly, so he could only try his best to control the frontier troops!"

In fact, there were some things that the old Taiwei didn't say.But Xiao Cheng already understood in his heart after reading Shi An's letter.

In the letters, it kept hinting that Tong Tianhua was instigated by someone.

Tong Tianhua provoked first and took the initiative.

Shi An knew that his prestige was not enough to overwhelm the frontier troops, so he tied his hands and feet.I was afraid that because of my impulsiveness, I would lose the trust of the frontier army and be unable to control the frontier army, which would eventually lead to the disintegration of this cloud country elite.

Xiao Cheng sharpened his eyes and said:
"How vicious this person is! The four states of Yongzhen are not his idea at all. What he wants is to tie the frontier army to Yongzhou when the country is in crisis. It is best to fall apart and cease to exist! "

The old captain nodded, gritted his teeth and said:
"That's true! The person behind this messing up the situation is really hateful! You can kill him!"

At this time, Xiao Cheng suddenly opened his mouth and said:

"Tong Tianhua, do you still have any impression?"

Dressed up as a forbidden soldier, Wang Xiao, who had been waiting behind Xiao Cheng, nodded and said:

"Remember, this person was originally a surrendered general of Bagan, a small southern state. I saw that he took the initiative to work and was quite wise, so I stayed in front of the tent to listen to him. I never thought, I don't know when, he was drawn over by the monks!"

The old Taiwei was startled by Wang Xiao's voice, he looked up suddenly, stared for a long time, and then he was not sure:
"Wang Xiao?"

Wang Xiao chuckled, saluted the old captain, and said respectfully:
"The old general didn't want to see me more than ten years ago, and it's normal not to recognize me!"

Back then, the old Taiwei was Wang Xiao's benefactor.It's just that ever since Wang Xiao took charge of the government and emptied the royal family, he vowed never to see Wang Xiao again.

Seeing Wang Xiao, the old Taiwei showed astonishment, turned his head and looked at the two of them several times, but couldn't figure out how the two got mixed together.

　Well, I think it's a little late. . . .

　　However, I finished the five chapters on the first day! ! !
