Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 147 Li Chengqian's Visit
"there is always a solution to a problem……"

Kong Yingda sighed deeply, then shook his head helplessly.

After all, he is a civil servant, and he can't help with things like defending the enemy on the battlefield, so he can only worry on the sidelines now.

Li Chengqian pursed his lips, and then his eyes lit up, "Yes, I will go to Marquis Wu now and ask him how to solve it."

"Marquis Wu is extremely intelligent, and he will definitely find a way."

"........."

Kong Yingda frowned when he heard the words, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, after learning about this, His Majesty immediately summoned your uncle and the ministers of the court to discuss countermeasures, but in the end it was fruitless."

"Although Marquis Wu is very resourceful, he is also a civil servant, and he may not be able to help you with matters on the battlefield."

Li Chengqian shook his head, then pursed his lips and said: "Although Marquis Wu is a civil servant, the Beiwei army he trained is the number one army in the Tang Dynasty, which is a hundred times stronger than the generals who have countless fighting experience on the battlefield!"

"Based on this alone, I believe him!"

After saying this, Li Chengqian ignored Kong Yingda's dissuasion and went directly to Wuhou Mansion.

Wuhou Mansion.

"Master Hou, the prince is here." The servant stepped forward to report, with a bit of impatience on his face.

After all, Li Chengqian really regarded Luo Bin as a life mentor, no matter what he had to ask about it, he would feel at ease.

As for Luo Bin, he had already gotten used to the strangeness, and after smacking his lips, he asked, "What did he bring this time?"

Hearing this, the boy lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It seems that the prince didn't bring anything this time."

"........."

After hearing the boy's words, Luo Bin's expression darkened immediately, "What's the matter?"

"Is this acquaintance with me? Started whoring for nothing?"

No, this habit is not good!He must help Li Chengqian correct himself!
The corner of the boy's mouth couldn't help twitching when he heard this, but he was still very sensible and didn't answer.

"Master Hou!"

Li Chengqian trotted all the way in, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

"His Royal Highness." Luo Bin pursed his lips and bowed to Li Chengqian.

"Your Majesty is free of courtesy. I am here this time because I want to ask you about something very important." Li Chengqian hurriedly said.

Luo Bin raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and then sat on the side as if nothing had happened, "Okay, His Highness the Crown Prince speaks slowly, just pass the things to the boy at the side."

"........."

Li Chengqian touched the back of his head in embarrassment, smiled at Luo Bin and said, "I came here in a hurry this time, and didn't bring any presents."

"But I will definitely send someone to send it later."

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Luo Bin nodded in satisfaction, but still chuckled hypocritically and said: "Oh, since His Royal Highness didn't bring it, don't bother."

"I didn't mean to ask His Highness the Crown Prince for a gift, but His Highness the Crown Prince was very polite when he came here a few times, Xiao Hou took it for granted, and was rude just now."

"Don't be rude, don't be rude." Li Chengqian shook his head immediately, and then said: "Every time I come to Lord Hou, I will benefit a lot, and those gifts are what Lord Hou deserves."

Luo Bin smiled when he heard the words, then raised his eyebrows and said, "What is the Crown Prince going to ask this time?"

Li Chengqian frowned slightly, then looked at the servants around him and said, "Master Hou, this..."

Luo Bin understood immediately and waved to the boys on the side, "You all can go down."

"Yes." The boys agreed and left.

Not long after one of the boys left, he saw Dou Ying'er coming towards this direction.

"Miss Yinger, Master Hou is discussing matters with His Highness the Crown Prince, so it is inconvenient to go in at this time." The servant reminded in a deep voice.

"His Royal Highness..."

Dou Yinger pursed her lips slightly when she heard the words, and then responded: "Okay, I understand, you go down first."

"Yes."

Dou Yinger frowned after the little servant left, then slightly curled her lips, and quietly entered the house...

"Master Marquis, you may not know yet, but the Turks are going south again!"

Li Chengqian frowned at Luo Bin when he saw that there was no one in the hall.

Hearing this, Luo Bin gave the hand holding the tea cup a slight pause, and then looked at Li Chengqian pretending to be shocked, "There is such a thing? How did His Royal Highness know?"

"It was my teacher Kong Yingda who told me that my father received news from General Hou Junji yesterday, and he has been very depressed since then."

Luo Bin pursed his lips slightly, "How could this happen? Didn't our two countries just reach the Weishui River Alliance?"

"This group of Turkic barbarians are too immoral. It's only been a while since they negotiated a peace, and they're like moths."

"Who says it's not the case?" Li Chengqian responded, then sighed and said, "Mr. Hou doesn't go to court these days, maybe he doesn't know that the current Tang Dynasty is not only short of troops, but also the treasury is empty."

"I think that if you come here at this time, no matter what else, even war horses and food will be a problem."

Luo Bin sighed deeply when he heard this, and then echoed: "Yes, the last battle on the Weishui River consumed too much of us."

"If there was still a solution at that time, His Majesty would not be willing to beg for peace with the Turks."

Li Chengqian nodded, then frowned and asked, "Then Houye, what can you do to deal with this matter?"

Luo Bin shook his head, pursed his lips slightly and said, "His Royal Highness, I'm just a free and unrestrained prince, and I really have more than enough energy to deal with the fact of this war."

"How is it possible? Lord Hou has trained the first army of the Tang Dynasty, the Beiwei Army, and the last time the Tang Army has improved by leaps and bounds under the training of Lord Hou. How can Lord Hou not understand the war?" Li Chengqian was a little disbelieving, He looked at Luo Bin with a frown, then cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou, it's about Tang's life and death, please tell me if Master Hou has a solution."

"........."

Fang Tianci also frowned when he heard the words, and then said: "The training and formation of troops are two different things."

"His Royal Highness should also know that I don't know martial arts, and I rely on methods and skills to train soldiers, not on strength."

"When he was on the battlefield before, Xiaohou was only in the army, and the commanders of the Beiwei army were all other generals. Those who had great military exploits were also the Beiwei army, not Xiaohou."

Having said that, Luo Bin looked at Li Chengqian sincerely, and then said: "After hearing His Royal Highness mention this matter, Xiao Hou is also very sad, but there is nothing he can do to help..."

"Master Hou..."

Li Chengqian frowned slightly, a little at a loss, when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Luo Bin again.

"His Royal Highness, although Xiaohou can't help much in the war, if His Majesty decides to go to war with the Turks, I can still help you with the matter of food and grass."

When Luo Bin said this, he glanced at Li Chengqian with a sad expression, "The young marquis is not talented, so I can only help with some money. The rest should rely on the many generals in the court."
