Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 620 Reaching Lingnan to Receive the Army
"Fifth brother is a big liar, fifth brother is a big liar!"

After seeing Li You's embarrassing expression, Li Mingda immediately seized this opportunity. This little guy is very good at observing people's words. As long as he sees a slight loophole in others, this little guy will be able to catch it immediately. .

Afterwards, Li Mingda began to act like a baby, made troubles for no reason, put pressure on Li You, and then showed his decisive side.

This made Li You look at Yang Qu in a difficult way and asked, "Neiguan Yang, what does Emperor Father mean?"

This question Yang Qu said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness. Your Majesty didn't have any instructions. He said that he wanted to come and see you. If you can guarantee the safety of Princess Jinyang, you can take the princess with you. The old slave also You must follow the princess together, but if you cannot guarantee the safety of the princess, you must send the princess back to Chang'an!"

"Ah?" Li You was absurd. This is pushing all the troubles on his own head. This is really cheating his son.

Just when Li You was frowning, Li Mingda yelled again, and Li Mingda collapsed on the chair and shouted: "Even if you send me back, I will still come out, you all promised me , I fulfilled my promise to you, but you failed to fulfill my promise.”

After listening to Li Mingda's words, Li You said directly: "Okay Neiguan Yang, you and Sizi should stay here. I still have confidence in suppressing the rebellion in Lingnan this time, and I have prepared enough things. Something happened."

"Are you sure you want to stay?" Yang Qu looked at Li You and said, "If you want to stay, then I'll write back to His Majesty directly, and I won't go back either."

"En!" Li You nodded, seeing Li You nodding, Li Mingda immediately shouted joyfully, for Li Mingda, it was really a great thing that she could leave Chang'an and go to Lingnan.

As for the gold mine, it's not that important.

Now that the decision was made, Yang Qu had no other doubts, and then sent someone to Chang'an to report back, and he followed Li Mingda to Lingnan. Marching all the way was actually very boring, but Li Mingda was very happy. The march also opened Li Mingda's eyes.

This journey took about 30 days. Tang Xuanzong was so pleased with Concubine Bo Yang that he did not hesitate to use a fast horse relay to transport fresh lychees from Guangzhou to Chang'an, Xijing.

It also takes ten days for a fast horse. It is normal for an army of 5000 people to reach Lingnan in 30 days. You don’t know how difficult this road is. This is an ancient road built in the second year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, AD In the 26th year, it was proposed and built by Guiyang Taishou Weisong.From Hanguang, Qujiang, Jingguan Ruyuan, Yunyan, Meihua (Laoxu), Guanchun, Guanbu, Laopingshi in Yingde, to Yizhang and Linwu in Hunan, and finally to Chang'an in Xijing.

The Xijing Ancient Road was the main route from the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties to go north to Xijing Chang'an, that is, the Xijing Ancient Road was the road to the capital from the south of the Five Ridges in ancient times.

Along the way, the road was long and rugged, and there were also evil insects and beasts infested on the road. Many people and horses were injured to varying degrees due to fatigue, illness or poisonous insects, but they were all resolved by Li You. The infestation of those poisonous insects.

At night, sulfur will be poured outside Li You's camp. This sulfur is very powerful and will prevent snakes from entering the tent. Why are snakes afraid? Firstly, sulfur has a strong pungent smell, and secondly, it acts like a snake when it crawls. Obsolete. Alkaline sulfur will run into his scales and make the snake painful.

As for the flying poisonous insects, there are mosquito nets in Li Youjun's army. Once the mosquito nets are hung up at night, and some wormwood is lighted, not a single poisonous insect can be seen. However, what makes Li You happy is that he encountered many beasts along the way. For example, wild tigers and leopards, hyenas and wolves, but these things were shot into a hornet's nest before Li You could blink in front of the army, and they were left behind for a tooth sacrifice at night.

Li You also collected a tiger's thing, and was going to go back to make wine, hehe, it is said to be very powerful, although Li Mingda despised it, but as long as it is useful, you can despise it as you like.

Of course, besides these malaria also came, and the infection was quite severe, and because of this, Li You had to rest for three days, but during these three days, Li You took out the artemisinin , and then healed all the soldiers.

The soldiers who thought they were going to die at first found that the malaria was not that severe at all, and instantly strengthened the will of the entire army.

In the past, this march, from Chang'an to Lingnan, at least consumed some soldiers on the way, but when Li You's army arrived in Lingnan this time, no one was reduced.

Lingnan Guangzhou Mansion. Feng Zhichen walked out of the Feng Mansion with his son Feng Xing in official uniform. Just now, Feng An of the Feng family had issued an order not to allow any of the Feng family's children or officials from the Guangzhou Mansion to welcome Li. You's Tiger Benwei.

It's just that Feng An never thought that his eldest son would ignore his order, not only Feng Zhichen would go to meet Li You, but Feng Zhichen's cronies would also go to meet Li You.

Before Li You arrived at the Guangzhou Mansion, the city gates were closed tightly. Li Mingda asked Li You with some doubts: "Fifth brother, why don't you open the city gates here? Don't you want us to come to suppress the rebellion?"

"Hmph!" Li You was not yet angry, but Yang Qu on the side was already angry: "Feng An, the Feng family, has objections, and he, Feng An, caused the Lingnan Rebellion this time."

"Oh." Yang Qu's words aroused Li Mingda's interest: "Mr. Yang, please be clear, Feng An wants to rebel?"

"Your Highness, although it is not a rebellion, but there is rebellion. Back then, this Feng An made a rebellion among Liaoren, and wanted to use it to marry you!"

"Why marry me, they are worthy too?" Li Mingda's small eyes immediately widened.

Yang Qu also quickly echoed on the side: "That's right. Fortunately, His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Qi have thought of a way together, which is to hold a meeting for you to recruit a son-in-law. Openly recruit a son-in-law. If there is a son-in-law that the princess likes, that would be too much." Well, but if there is no consort that the princess wants, there is a delay.

The Feng family was also fooled, but after the princess failed to recruit a son-in-law, the Feng family began to make small moves again. On the eve of the new year, they encouraged the Liao people to rebel, so that we Tiger Benwei had to go out. "

"Hey, the Feng family is really not a good guy." Li Mingda was furious.

However, at this time, Li You laughed: "Who said, look, people from the Feng family have come to welcome us into the city...!" Li Mingda and Yang Qu saw the city gate in front of them open wide, followed Feng Zhichen walked out of the city gate first, and after seeing Li You's Chinese army, he quickly brought his son Feng Xing and the officials behind him to kneel down and bow down.

"Feng Zhichen pays homage to His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Later, Feng Xing and some officials of the Guangzhou Mansion also knelt down on the ground immediately. Li You took out an imperial decree from behind and said, "Feng Zhichen listens to the decree!"

"The minister is here!" Feng Zhizhen kowtowed.

Li You began to read at this time: "Mr. Feng Zhichen is loyal to the country, diligent and clear, and I am very relieved. Mr. Geng Guo is old and suffers from chronic illness, so I specially confer Feng Zhizheng, the eldest son of Feng, as the chief of Lingnan. Duke, in Lingnan, I will entrust Duke Yuling to you!"

After Li You finished speaking, Feng Zhizhen was agitated, and immediately kowtowed loudly and replied: "My minister, Feng Zhizhen, thank you for your grace, and you will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust. The Feng family will be loyal to Your Majesty from generation to generation.!"

Li You smiled slightly, and handed the imperial decree to Feng Zhichen's hands, saying: "Feng Guo's official business should not be delayed, please take me to the military camp. I want to inspect the army in Lingnan!"

"Your Highness, please!" Putting away the imperial decree, Feng Zhichen's aura also changed, he is no longer the eldest son of the Feng family, he is now the Duke of Ling, the veritable master of the Feng family in Lingnan.

Feng Xun, Feng Zhichen's son behind him, was also very excited. At this moment, Li You suddenly said, "That's right. Princess Jinyang is here too. Princess Jinyang can't go to the land of the soldiers. Is Feng Xun here?"

"Feng Xing pays homage to Your Highness!" Feng Xing immediately knelt down when he heard Li You calling him.

"Get up, get up, it's all your own kneeling, what kind of kneeling, the king has a small matter to ask you, and the king's younger sister, Princess Jinyang, is also here. She is the most beloved daughter of the father, and the father takes her There is no other way, let alone this king.

This time, the king is going to suppress the rebellion, so I would like to trouble you to entertain Princess Jinyang, take her around and have a look around, but try to follow her as much as possible, although the two of you are not destined to be husband and wife, but It's also good to be a friend.

As the saying goes, there are many friends and many paths, and everything is unknown! "

"Thank you, Your Highness King Qi. The villain must use his life to protect Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang. If something happens to Her Royal Highness, the villain must die first."

Feng Xing is also very good at coming, so he quickly made a promise.

"Haha.!" Li You laughed: "She will be fine. Father's team of hundreds of cavalry will protect along the road, and this king will also send out a company of Tiger Guards. Don't worry, there is another At that time, my father gave me the right to give some rewards, so that you can accompany Her Royal Highness Princess Jin, and when Princess Jinyang leaves, you will be the son of Lingnan County!"

"Huh?" Feng Xing was surprised.

Feng Zhixun quickly patted his son and shouted: "Thank you, His Highness King Qi, this is His Highness Qi's reward."

"It's Feng Xing who thanked His Royal Highness Qi Wang." After speaking, Feng Xing hurriedly kowtowed.

Li You smiled slightly: "Get up, you are fine, you are the bridge between Chang'an and your father, you are courageous and resourceful, and the future can be expected."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Feng Zhichen bowed: "It is not too late. Please, Your Highness, go to the barracks to inspect the Lingnan army."

"Good, is Wang Xu here?" Li You looked around and asked.

"Wang Xu, oh no!" Li You smiled and said, "It should be called Wang Biejia. Now you are Lingnan Biejia, and you will cooperate with Ling Guogong to manage Lingnan well for the Tang Dynasty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" Wang Xu bowed quickly.

"This time Wang Biejia and I went to the Lingnan military camp together. If there is something I don't know, I hope Feng Guogong and Wang Biejia will help me a lot."

"Yes!" Wang Xu and Feng Zhichen bowed together.
