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

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, Murong Fuyun sent envoys to express congratulations and at the same time made a request for marriage.

Murong Fuyun hoped that his son would marry a Tang royal family to show the harmony between the two families.

Although he proposed a marriage, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was his attempt to test Datang.

If Datang agrees, then after the new emperor ascends the throne, the internal stability of the country may be unstable, and the opportunity for Tuyuhun will come.

However, the direct refusal undoubtedly gave the ambitious Murong Fuyun an excuse to attack.

Facing Murong Fuyun's temptation, Li Shimin agreed after thinking for a while.

However, it also made a request, that is, Murong Fuyun's son should come to Chang'an to propose marriage in person, and the two must also live in Chang'an after they get married.

Faced with Li Shimin's tricks, Murong Fuyun had no choice but to lie that his son was sick and could not travel.

Then, Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses began to loot at the border from time to time, until this time, they invaded Minzhou on a large scale.

Although it has already entered spring at this time, the border of Minzhou is still extremely cold.

Generally speaking, the Tang army relied on the city walls to defend, and waited for the temperature to rise before attacking, but this time, Li Shimin had a different idea.

He ordered people to send Chai Shao, a veteran who fought against Tuyuhun.

"Duke Huo Guogong invaded again this time, and I named you General Youwei, leading a 2 army of Youwuwei to help Minzhou. Make sure to show these Tuyuhun barbarians some color!"

Chai Shao gladly took the order, he had a deep grudge against Tuyuhun, and he immediately became excited when he heard that he was asked to lead the army this time.

However, Li Jing on the side said: "Your Majesty, although it is my duty to defend the army against foreign enemies."

"However, it's so cold today, I'm afraid it would be inconvenient to rush out!"

"Minzhou is located in the northwest, and the severe cold is even worse than Chang'an. I'm afraid the army is carrying too much luggage, and it will be inconvenient!"

Minzhou is now Minxian County, Dingxi City, Gansu Province, and it is the best route for Tuyuhun in Qinghai to attack Datang.

Due to the relationship between altitude and latitude, although Minzhou is not far from Chang'an, the temperature is much lower.

In fact, Li Shimin naturally knew about this problem, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to test something.

He said to Li Jing and Chai Shao: "This time, Huo Guogong has full power to handle the attack. If the timing is not right, naturally there is no need to attack."

Hearing this, Li Jing felt relieved a lot.

He and Chai Shao have known each other for many years, so he naturally knows that Chai Shao is not a reckless person, and he will definitely not advance rashly.

Chai Shao took the order and was just about to take over the army when he heard Li Shimin say: "Mr. Huo Guo will go to the Shence Mansion immediately to get [-] cotton-padded clothes. This is what General Shence promised me."

"With this thing, I think our Datang army will definitely be able to show their style in the severe cold."

"Dignified Huaxia, how can Xiaoxiao be allowed to invade!"

Upon hearing the cotton-padded clothes, Li Jing and Chai Shao instantly smiled.

The two of them also wore cotton clothes, so they naturally knew the effect of cotton clothes to keep out the cold.

When Li Shimin said that the Tang army would be equipped with cotton-padded clothes in the future, they were excited for a while.

But they never expected that this joy would come so quickly.

After hearing that the 2 people from You Wuwei will be the first to be equipped with cotton-padded clothes, the other generals on the side couldn't sit still.

First of all, Zhang Liang yelled: "Your Majesty is too biased. Give these cotton coats to Zuo Wuwei, and we can go to battle and kill the enemy."

As General Zuo Wuwei, although he has a good relationship with Chai Shao, he still has to seek benefits for his troops.

With Zhang Liang taking the lead, the other generals of the Sixteenth Guards of Gyeonggi Province were also outraged and volunteered to fight.

Seeing the scrambling expressions of the crowd, Li Shimin smiled slightly. It was such a group of fearless generals who trained the invincible Iron Army of the Tang Dynasty.

"Everyone, why does Tuyuhun need so many people to join forces? Everyone trains actively, and there will be opportunities to make great achievements in the future."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, everyone calmed down a little.

After Chai Shao left the palace, he came directly to Chu Palace with the imperial decree.

No, now this place has been changed to Yanwang Mansion.

Hearing that Tuyuhun had invaded, Li You was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why Chai Shao would find him.

Following Chai Shao's explanation, he also understood.

Li You chuckled and said, "Uncle Chai, the matter of cotton clothes is easy to handle, just go to Eldest Uncle."

"The clothes are ready, just take them away."

Chai Shao never expected that Li You would agree so simply.

"Just take it away with just one sentence?"

Chai Shao was a little surprised.

However, Li You was even more surprised: "Then what?"

"Is Uncle Chai planning to give money?"

"I'll just pay the money directly from the household department, don't worry."

[Don't ask how much it is, if you ask, you don't know. 】

[Uncle Feng didn't tell me the labor cost of this cotton coat, so how would I know how to sell it! 】

【Let’s ask my uncle when I’m free. 】

[Now, the money for the armament has to be paid by the Ministry of Households, so it feels like I paid for it. 】

[Why do you feel that you were prostituted by Li Er again? 】

Li You fell into confusion here, while Chai Shao was about to leave there.

Just as Chai Shao turned around, Li You said again: "Uncle Chai is going to Minzhou, passing through Tianshui County, Qinzhou, you can go to the local Chongzhe Mansion to find Zhechong Captain Su Dingfang, he may be able to help Uncle."

At this time, Li You did not clearly propose the content of the help, because he was not sure whether the thing he formulated had been manufactured.

If that thing is really manufactured, then this time Chai Shao's [-] Youwuwei cavalry will be even more powerful, bursting out with even stronger combat effectiveness.

Chai Shao is no stranger to Su Dingfang. Although Chai Shao and Su Dingfang didn't fight directly, they did compete on the same battlefield.

Chai Shao was also a little surprised to meet such a famous general near the front line.

Despite the difference, Chai Shao didn't ask any more questions.

During this period of time, Chai Shao also saw Li You's extraordinaryness and kept it in his heart.

Since Li You didn't say that there would be any help, Chai Shao didn't break the casserole to ask.

Tianshui County in Qinzhou was a place that must be passed through on this trip. Even without Li You, he would have gone there to rest.

Saying goodbye to Li You, Chai Shao naturally went to find Master Feng.

The conversation between the two was much more casual, and Chai Shao asked about Su Dingfang.

After Master Feng finished listening, his expression was a little weird.

Chai Shao clearly felt that Master Feng was trying to control his expression, which made Chai Shao feel even more strange.

"Brother-in-law, just tell me what help there will be?"

Unexpectedly, Young Master Feng shook his head like a rattle and said, "Don't ask any more questions. It was a big surprise. It would be boring to tell you in advance."

"You kid is just lucky, this time you can try something new again."
