Li Chengqian's face was full of helplessness. For many years, his younger brother had been battling wits and scheming with his more powerful father since he was a child.

Li Shen used Li Shimin to make money several times, but no one else knew about it. As the future emperor, Li Shimin did not hide these things.

Li Shimin also made a lot of money from Li Shen. He had seen Li Shimin's internal money. It was a real small treasury, full of gold.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense," Li Shen was startled by Li Chengqian's words. If Li Shimin heard this, he would be hurt again.

"Brother, I can't plant it for them in vain. The court's food must be supplied to them. I can consider it as sharing the worry for Aye." Li Shen added uneasily.

Li Chengqian didn't believe Li Shen's words. His younger brother Yan Guo was a man who plucked his hair, and he would not do anything without benefit. He would not do anything without benefit.

Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't believe it, Li Shen didn't explain much. It was better not to mention this kind of thing. He was afraid that if this matter spread to Li Shimin's ears, his income would shrink.

All the battle reports that night were compiled into the marshal's account, and the results shocked many people. There were no casualties in Nansu, more than 1000 casualties in Hengshan City, and less than 1000 casualties in Xincheng.

The three cities were captured so easily, which made them even more curious about Li Shen's new combat method.

At noon the next day, two fast horses galloped over, and the two messengers quickly arrived at Li Chengqian's tent.

There were two imperial edicts. The first one first gave Li Chengqian various praises, and then affirmed each general. The last thing I said was to rest and recuperate, not to advance rashly, to appease the people, and to recruit troops.

Li Shimin knew very well that if you want to conquer a place, you must first conquer the people in the place.

The second imperial edict was for Li Shen, which made everyone confused. Could it be that His Majesty also wanted to praise Li Shen alone?

Only after I finished reading did I find out that because Princess Linchuan was about to get married, His Majesty authorized Li Shen, the Commander-in-Chief of the Marching Army, to return to Chang'an to attend his sister's wedding.

But the premise is that after capturing three cities, it seems that Your Majesty still has some understanding of King Ji.

"Brother, I'm going to leave for Chang'an tomorrow. I'll leave the rest to you." Li Shen said to Li Chengqian after hearing the imperial edict.

"Tenth brother, it seems that you should write a letter and tell Aye. I just asked you why you are so positive." Li Chengqian laughed.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense. I am the Commander-in-Chief of the March Army. I am responsible for my family, country and the world. I will be back soon. The first batch of supplies should arrive soon.

The eldest brother also needs to learn how to manage the people. He cannot be blindly kind, he must have restrictions, and occasionally give them a little sweetness to make them grateful.

People are greedy, and things that are too easy to obtain will make them take it for granted.

Anyway, I am resting now, so if I have nothing to do, let me practice with the people of Goguryeo. "

Li Shen's words stunned everyone present. If nothing else, it was unbelievable that this young prince was actually teaching the prince.

But Li Chengqian accepted it humbly.

If Li Shen's words were said in later generations, he would be scolded, but after traveling for so long, he has integrated or become accustomed to his current identity.

In this feudal dynasty, the superior is a good manager if he does not bully the people. If you give some benefits, the people will be grateful.

But Li Shen came from time travel, and he had seen too much greed and dissatisfaction. Sometimes those in power do too much and make people take it for granted.

Li Chengqian nodded solemnly, and then said to Li Shen;

"Don't worry, big brother knows how to do it. You have to be careful along the way."

After speaking, Li Shen took the people back to pack their bags, and he still needed to make some arrangements.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Shen came to say goodbye, and all the generals also came to see him off.

Li Shen said to Li Chengqian

"Brother, I'm going back to Chang'an soon. Do you have anything to bring back?"

Li Chengqian took out three letters and handed them to Li Shen.

"There are three letters here, all signed. One is for Aye, one is for mother, and one is for your sister-in-law. Take it back."

Li Shen took the letter and handed it to Lan Yu'er and said;

"Brother, I leave you the sharp blade, as well as a thousand guards and a heat. If anything happens, they will protect my brother and leave safely. This way I can feel more at ease."

Li Chengqian nodded. He knew that this was his younger brother's intention and that Li Shen was worried about his own safety.

Li Shen said to the person behind Li Chengqian again

"Generals, since I am not here, everything depends on you. However, military discipline must not be violated. Otherwise, don't blame me for enforcing military law when I return."

"Brother takes care."

After speaking, Li Shen got on his horse, pulled Lan Yu'er up again, waved his hand at Li Chengqian and rode away.

Li Chengqian stood there and watched Li Shen disappear from sight, then turned around and was about to return to the tent.

Zhao Tiejun, the deputy captain of Sharp Blade, appeared out of nowhere and came to Li Chengqian. He was so frightened that Li Chongyi blocked Li Chengqian in an instant.

"Zhao Tiejun, deputy captain of Chenliren, obeys the orders of His Royal Highness." Zhao Tiejun saluted Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian pushed Li Chongyi away and looked at the sudden appearance of the sharp-blade vice-captain and asked.

"Captain Zhao, where is the sharp blade now?"

"Back to His Highness, he is in the camp and is responsible for protecting His Highness's safety." Zhao Tiejun did not say where. King Ji said that the blade should remain mysterious, there are so many people here.

Li Chengqian nodded,

"Then I'll help you. I'll order the guards of Prince Ji's Mansion to replace Liu Shu and guard the outside of the commander's tent." Li Chengqian said to Zhao Tiejun.

Li Chengqian's personal bodyguards had dedicated personnel, just like Li Shen, just like Li Chongyi was the bodyguard commander.

The periphery was guarded by Liu Shui. Li Chengqian used Li Shen's guards as the second layer to show his trust in Li Shen and to feel reassured about Li Shen's guards.

He knew that Li Shen's three thousand guards were all elites, and their weapons and equipment were so good that Li Shimin was jealous. If anything happened to him, Li Shen's guards would protect him immediately.

Li Chengqian never thought that Li Shen would harm him. Without Li Shen, he would have been abolished long ago.

His tenth brother had forcefully pulled him back from the abyss several times. If Li Shen wanted to harm him, why would he pull him back? It would be better to just let him fend for himself.

Li Chengqian understood Li Shen's idea, which was to make him owe favors. When he became emperor, his younger brother would still be happy and carefree.
