Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

At this moment Li Shimin was standing there in shock.

This is also the first time for him to enter a caravan, and many of the specialties brought back from the Turks made him feel extremely novel.

However, when he saw a large number of slaves, cattle and horses, his novelty turned into shock.

Seeing Li You coming over, he didn't wait for Li You to greet him and quickly asked: "Your, your caravan went to the grassland to plunder, right? Why are there so many slaves, cattle and horses?"

Li You chuckled and said, "Father, you are really right."

Then, Li You told the story that the caravan was robbed by a small tribe on the grassland, and after they fought back, they copied the record of the other tribe.

After listening, Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he was very excited.

"You did a good job, quickly call out the leaders of the caravan and let me meet you!"

This time, the records of Wang Xuance and others were really good. If it was replaced by military merits, it would be perfectly normal for them to receive awards.

Soon, Wang Xuance and Su Ding conveniently appeared in front of Li Shimin.

On the first meeting, Li Shimin recognized Su Dingfang.

"Su Dingfang, I have had you recruited many times, but you are not willing to be an official in the court. Why did you appear in You'er's caravan?"

Wang Xuance's appearance as a young hero made Li Shimin feel good about him, but Su Dingfang was even more strange to him.

Being so questioned by His Majesty today, Su Dingfang also knelt down all of a sudden: "Please make amends, Your Majesty!"

"The ministers in the past were confused and did not get out of the past grievances!"

"Now that I have been awakened by the prince, I am willing to do my best for Datang!"

Li Shimin smiled slightly, asked Su Dingfang to get up first, and then said: "General Su, I am not a stingy person."

"Since you have figured it out now, are you willing to become an official in the court?"

[I'm sorry, Li Er, you are too blatant to poach someone, Su Dingfang is now my man! 】

[Are you polite! 】

Hearing Li You's inner voice, Li Shimin realized that he was indeed a little abrupt.

He coughed lightly, and explained: "General Su, don't think too much, what I mean is to become the commander of the Shence Mansion."

"Shence Mansion played well this time, and I plan to expand the size of the mansion guards, so that we can go to battle to kill the enemy in the future!"

Hearing this, Su Dingfang calmed down.

Although he is in the caravan now, he is actually Li You's subordinate.

Entering the Shence Mansion to serve as the commander of the army is nothing but a matter of course.

However, just before Su Dingfang was about to agree, he still took a look at Li You.

In any case, he respected Li You's decision.

However, Li You shook his head and said, "Father, my son is not planning to expand the scale of the Shence Guards. Now, 500 Shence Guards are enough."

【Li Er, you didn't have any good intentions to expand the Shence Mansion for me. 】

[Let me lead soldiers to fight in the future, Li Er, I think you are thinking too much, Laozi is only eight years old this year. 】

[Besides, is it really a good thing to have more soldiers and generals! 】

[Do you still remember how your brothers turned against each other back then? 】

[So, labor and capital don't touch military power!Isn't it good to make good money? 】

[However, on the matter of Su Dingfang and Wang Xuance, I still agree with you. 】

[We can't let such a talent be buried. 】

Li You then said: "Your Majesty, I also think that General Su and Wang Xuance are rare generals in this world with few enemies. They will be buried in my small caravan."

"I implore the emperor to reuse these two people."

Li You's request surprised everyone present!
He never expected that Li You would refuse the opportunity to expand his army, and would hand over good generals like Su Dingfang and Wang Xuance.

But in fact, this is Li You's promise to the two of them.

Seeing that Li You fulfilled his promise so quickly, Wang Xuance and Su Dingfang felt boundless emotion in their hearts.

It would be good if he could continue to stay under Li You's command.

This made Changsun Wuji, who was sweating just now, relax a little bit, and he quickly said, "It's really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty that the King of Chu has such an idea."

"I have also heard for a long time that General Su is brave. If the two generals can serve Datang, the army of Datang will definitely be like a tiger with wings added."

"General Su is also a veteran general. I think I can serve as the captain of Zhechong and lead a whole army of soldiers."

"As for this Wang Xuance, although he has excellent military achievements, he is not a military meritorious service. I think he is Captain Guo Yi, as General Su's deputy."

Changsun Wuji's words changed the relationship between the two now. Wang Xuance, who was originally the captain of the caravan, became the deputy, and Su Dingfang was the chief general.

Originally, Li Shimin still had some opinions on Changsun Wuji's practice of reversing the identities of the two, but Wang Xuance immediately agreed.

Although Wang Xuance is pretentious, he still discovered too many shortcomings in this battle.

This made him a little scared.

He is not good at leading a team of only a few hundred people, how will he be able to control thousands of troops in the future.

This time, he also saw Su Dingfang's strong control over the army.

With a team of hundreds of people, he commanded like two hands, and his judgment of the situation was extremely precise.

After the war, it was Su Dingfang who judged the truth of the emptiness inside these tribes, so he was able to further expand the results of the battle and obtain a large amount of spoils without any effort.

It can be said that without Su Dingfang's final bold decision to steal the house, they would not have gained much in substance this time except for their prestige and exhaustion.

Therefore, being able to stay and study with Su Dingfang was something Wang Xuance wished for.

He was afraid that Su Dingfang would refuse and miss this opportunity to learn, so he agreed immediately.

Seeing that Wang Xuance agreed, Su Dingfang could only accept the order to thank him immediately.

After the award was completed, Li Shimin asked about the locust plague again.

Hearing this question, Li You's heart was finally relieved.

[So this is the matter, I thought Li Er had heard something. 】

Then Li You said: "Father, you really don't need to worry about this matter. My son has already sent an army to solve it."

"Army?"

Li You's words made Li Shimin dumbfounded.

Li You also said just now that he didn't want to have too many subordinates, why did he have a large army now.

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Shimin was a little confused, but Changsun Wuji showed vigilance in his eyes.

Then I heard Li You explain: "Father, don't get me wrong, the army I'm talking about is not what you think."

"This time, I sent an army of chickens and ducks!"

"Father also knows that chickens and ducks eat bugs, and a chicken and duck can eat hundreds of bugs a day!"

"Erchen Hubu's farm now raises a lot of chickens and ducks, this time just gives them a chance to make contributions!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin nodded.

Although he didn't quite understand Li You's method, but Li You said it so easily, he didn't think about it anymore.

What Li Shimin was curious about now was what else Li You was hiding from him.
