Chapter 454 The Crown Prince Chapter Is Here (Ask for a monthly pass!)

Chapter 454 The prince is back (ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

Hongwu 15 years, June.

As the last resistance force in the Jin Kingdom was eliminated and its remnants crossed the Daxingan Mountains and entered the Mongolian Plateau, the areas south of Heilongjiang and east of the Daxingan Mountains, that is, the former territory of the Jin Kingdom, were all merged into the territory of the Daqian Dynasty. The dynasty's war to exterminate the Jin Dynasty, including the war to exterminate Goryeo, achieved a comprehensive victory.

In the next step, the Northeast Army will take a short rest period to prepare for the final encirclement and suppression of nomads on the grasslands by crossing the Daxing'an Mountains and entering the Mongolian Plateau.

However, this is easy to say, but it is not something that can be done in a short time if it is to be implemented.

The so-called soldiers and horses do not move the food and grass first.

In order to implement this strategic strategy, the railway from the northeast region to the Mongolian plateau must first be built. Otherwise, the dry army, which relies heavily on logistics supplies, cannot guarantee that it will advance from the northeast to the Mongolian plateau for a long time, let alone fully occupy Mongolia. strategic purpose of the plateau.

It was at this time that the Daqian Dynasty launched a strategic strategy to regain Xixia.

In this regard, Yue Fei and other generals of the Northeast Army strongly supported it.

Because without seizing the Hexi Corridor, the nomadic peoples on the Mongolian Plateau cannot be cut off, and thus cannot be completely wiped out.

Therefore, Yue Fei happily cooperated with the imperial court's order, and actively cooperated with Li Yanxian, Han Shizhong and others to carry out defense work in the Northeast and North China regions to prevent the nomadic people from escaping back with their carbines. At the same time, he developed a strategic strategy to capture the Mongolian Plateau. Leave it aside for a while.

Li Cun's secret decree, that is, to secretly transfer [-] Han Chinese cavalry, and [-] grassland cavalry composed of Goryeo, Khitan, Wanggu, Bohai, Jurchen, Xi, and other ethnic groups who surrendered to the Dagan Dynasty, to go to the northwest region to participate in the war The imperial decree soon reached the hands of senior generals of the Northeast Army such as Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Li Yanxian, Yao Youzhong and others.

Together with this secret decree, Yue Fei also had the decree ordering Crown Prince Li Biao to return to the capital.

Seeing that Li Cun finally asked Li Biao to return to Beijing, Yue Fei, who had been worried for a long time, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Yue Fei never worried about wars or anything.

The only thing Yue Fei was worried about was that Li Biao, the crown prince and future emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, really had something good or bad in his hands.

in fact--

Yue Fei had already given memorials to Li Cun more than once, praising Li Biao and the princes, saying that Li Biao and the princes had "returned to the army", and hinting that Li Cun could let them return to the capital.

But Yue Fei's Taoist memorials were like a stone sinking into the sea, not even a splash of water.

How did Yue Fei know that Li Cun not only had no intention of letting these princes return to the capital, but also sent more than 300 princes to the northwest battlefield? Wu Jie is now experiencing his initial fear.

Seeing Li Cunli ignoring him, Yue Fei slowly realized that some princes, especially those born soldiers like Li Chu, might have been in the Northeast Army forever. Become the backbone of the Northeast Army, even the commander in chief. At the same time, these princes are also a means for Li Cun to monitor and control the Northeast Army...

Thinking about this clearly, Yue Fei couldn't help feeling chills down his spine: "I've repeatedly asked the officials to remove the prince, it's so stupid!"

……

The day before Li Biao was about to leave the Northeast Army, Yue Fei sent Li Yanxian, Yao Youzhong and other absolute high-level officials of the Northeast Army, Zhao Ding, Liu Zhengyan, Shi Liai, Yuwen Huangzhong, etc. to discuss the reason for building a bridgehead city on the Mongolian plateau first. , Han Qixian, Gao Qingyi and other absolutely high-ranking officials in the Northeast region were all invited to his own Chinese army tent.

After everyone arrived, summoned by Yue Fei, Li Biao and Yue Yun also came to Yue Fei's Chinese army camp.

Unlike Li Yanxian, Zhang Jun, Yao Youzhong and other generals who have been on the field all year round, and Yuwen Huangzhong, Han Qixian and other former ministers of the Jin Dynasty who have just surrendered to the Dagan Dynasty, they have never met Li Biao. Zhao Ding and Liu Zhengyan have been high-ranking officials in the capital for a long time. , Shi Li'ai, Gao Qingyi and others have dealt with Li Biao who has helped Li Cun handle the government affairs for several years. They are very familiar with Li Biao, the crown prince of the Dagan Empire and the future emperor of the Dagan Empire. .

Therefore, even after two years in the army, Li Biao's temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. Zhao Ding, Liu Zhengyan, Shi Li'ai, Gao Qingyi and others who have dealt with Li Biao still recognize Li Biao immediately. Li Biao came out in military uniform.

moment!

Zhao Ding, Liu Zhengyan, Shi Li'ai, Gao Qingyi and other people who had dealt with Li Biao all stood up in disbelief.

However, no matter how fast Zhao Ding, Liu Zhengyan, Shi Liai, Gao Qingyi and others who had dealt with Li Biao were not as fast as Yue Fei.

The first time Li Biao came in, Yue Fei bowed his chest and said: "Chen Yuefei, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as Yue Fei said this, the first person who was confused was Yue Yun who stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Biao.

Yue Yun really didn't understand what his father Yue Fei was messing with, Crown Prince?Where is the crown prince here?

What made Yue Yun even more confused was that Zhao Ding, Liu Zhengyan, Shi Liai, Gao Qingyi and other people who had interacted with Li Biao followed Yue Fei and also paid homage to Li Biao: "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince! "

At this time, Li Yanxian, Zhang Jun, Yao Youzhong, Yuwen Huangzhong, Han Qixian and others also realized that the thin and tall young man in front of them was Li Biao, the crown prince of their Daqian Dynasty, and they also hurriedly saluted Li Biao, saying high-spirited words. Call: "The minister waits to see the prince!"

Only Yue Yun has not yet realized that Li Dalang, who lived with him and shared joys and sorrows for two years, is the crown prince Li Biao of the Daqian Dynasty.

It wasn't until Li Biao said: "Everyone who loves you is free from courtesy." Yue Yun finally realized who Yue Fei and others were worshiping.

But even though the facts were so clear, Yue Yun couldn't help but confirm it with Li Biao: "Are you really my grandson?"

Before Li Biao could answer, Yue Fei scolded Yue Yun: "Yue Yun, don't be rude, why don't you come over and pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

At this time, Li Biao gave Yue Yun a meaningful smile.

Yue Yun knew that his old partner was saying, "Xiao Mian, are you scared?"

Yue Yun did not kick Li Biao's butt like before, but laughed and cursed: "Go away, will I be scared by you?", and then the two of them laughed and cursed.

This time, Yue Yun came behind Yue Fei obediently, and then also bowed to Li Biao: "Chen Yueyun, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing Yue Yun's feedback, Li Biao sighed in his heart!

Li Biao knew that sooner or later such a day would come.

After all, since he was a child, his father Li Cun told him that the emperor was doomed to be a lonely family and could not have real friends.

So Li Biao had been prepared for this, and he must have accepted it more easily than Yue Yun.

Li Biao calmed down his own mood, and then said casually: "Aiqing is free from courtesy."

After Yue Yunping passed away, Li Biao didn't look at Yue Yun again, but looked at Yue Fei, and asked, "Yue Dutong, are you going back to Beijing?"

Yue Fei replied: "His Majesty has spoken: The prince will enter the pass together with the Han cavalry, and then return to the capital."

Although he had already guessed it, but hearing Yue Fei say it with his own ears, Li Biao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed!

Many people think that being an emperor is a great blessing, and it is a blessing that may have saved the whole world in the previous life.

To be honest, Li Biao also thought so before. He felt that he was the Son of Man, that he was born to be an emperor, to enjoy the country and society, and to be admired by the world.

Li Biao has always been confident about being an emperor and does not care about being an emperor at all.

However, Li Biao, who had witnessed the collapse of Goryeo and Jin, dared not take it seriously again.

Today's Li Biao has deeply realized that if the emperor is not good, the country will be ruined and his family will suffer, and he will be nailed to the historical shame frame and never come down.

It is no exaggeration to say that for a period of time, Li Biao dreamed countless times that after he became emperor, because he failed to govern the Daqian Dynasty well, the Li Qian Dynasty was attacked by the enemy and tens of thousands of the royal family and clan were captured. Then the men were slaughtered and imprisoned, and the women were even worse. It was especially important to live at the mercy of others without shame. Otherwise, not only would they lose their innocence, but they would also lose their lives. What's more, even his father, Emperor Li The graves of Cun and his mother Fang Baihua were dug up by the enemy, looting the gold, silver and jewels buried with them, and destroying their bodies...

Every time at that time, Li Biao would be woken up from the dream, and then could not fall asleep again.

That's right.

Li Biao felt that the throne that he could easily get brought him not huge power and enjoyment, but huge pressure.

However, Li Biao knew that this was a responsibility he could never evade. He was born as the crown prince of the Dagan Dynasty, the heir of the Dagan Dynasty, and the heir of the Dagan Dynasty, so he had to shoulder the heavy burden of governing the Dagan Dynasty .

This is Li Biao's fate, which cannot be changed.

The only thing that makes Li Biao feel a little fortunate is that his father, Li Cun, a godlike man, although he has been indulging in excesses, is still young, strong, healthy, wise and powerful. Dare to wait for yourself to be fully prepared to take on this burden.

But then again, if Li Biao was allowed to choose, he really hoped that he could be a young general who obeyed orders all his life, living and fighting with a group of ruthless paoze all the time.

It's a pity that this will always be a dream that Li Biao will never tell anyone.

On the other side, Zhang Jun felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.

Zhang Jun has already confirmed that there are many princes in the Northeast Army, and he has also climbed up to several princes, including many who are both wise and brave and have a bright future.

But no matter how promising those princes are, they cannot compare with Li Biao, the current crown prince and future emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.

Let Li Biao, the real dragon, fly away in front of his eyes, and he only picked up a few carps that he didn't know what they could turn into. Zhang Jun was really unwilling!

Zhang Jun glanced at Yue Fei and thought: "Yue Pengju, Yue Pengju, your mouth is really strict!"

But Zhang Jun didn't blame Yue Fei.

First of all, Zhang Jun knew very well that Yue Fei would not even dare to tell his own father about Li Biao's experience in the Northeast Army, let alone tell him, because this matter is really too big, if it were him, He will definitely be the same as Yue Fei.

Also, if Zhang Jun knew about this in advance, it might not be a good thing.

Yes.

Now that Li Biao has finished his experience and returned to Beijing to continue to be his crown prince, Yue Fei has completed this huge task.

However, if you think about it carefully, you can realize how much psychological pressure Yue Fei has been under before.

In case Li Biao wanted to do something good or bad in the Northeast Army, even if Li Cun gave Yue Fei the bottom line, Yue Fei would never end well.

You know, behind a crown prince, there are countless political forces and political interests involved. If Yue Fei dares to kill Li Biao, those political forces who count on Li Biao will make Yue Fei feel better?

And if he, Zhang Jun, had known about this matter before, it goes without saying that he, Zhang Jun, would definitely have to bear the blame together with Yue Fei.

More importantly, Yue Fei is a close confidant of Li Cun, otherwise Li Cun would not be able to give one of his favorite sons, the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty and the future emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, to Yue Fei for training. This is Zhang Jun, a reduced general, could never be compared to him. If he couldn't figure out his relationship with Yue Fei, he would be the only one to get out.

Zhang Jun must not be able to eat meat.

But Zhang Jun had to take a sip of this soup no matter what.

Therefore, after Li Biao successfully returned to the capital, the news that "Li Dalang, the supervisor of the First Army, is the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty, Li Biao" spread like wildfire.

As soon as this news came out, the Northeast Army immediately went into a panic.

Many soldiers of the Northeast Army fought with Li Biao. Some soldiers accepted Li Biao’s political and ideological work at close range, or squatted with Li Biao for dinner, and some recruits were covered by Li Biao’s quilt. .

In the eyes of the vast majority of people who have been in contact with Li Biao, Li Biao has a good personality, speaks in a soft voice, has no airs, knows a lot, loves soldiers like a son, never engages in specialization, and takes the lead in every battle. A lot of exploits.

It is really hard for people to imagine that such Li Biao will be the crown prince of the high and mighty Dagan Dynasty, the future emperor of the Dagan Dynasty!

After accepting this unbelievable thing, the soldiers of the Northeast Army immediately burst out with extremely positive affirmation and praise for Li Biao, thinking that Li Biao, who has been with them for two years, will definitely be a good emperor in the future. Under Li Biao's governance, the Dagan Dynasty will definitely become more prosperous and powerful.

At the same time, Li Cun actually threw Li Biao, the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty and the future emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, into the frontline troops and followed the Northeastern Army in the east and west and in the south and north for two years. This undoubtedly won the support of more soldiers. .

In fact, in the past two years, the identities of many princes who left the Northeast Army have been exposed before or after they left the army.

In other words, the world already knows that Li Cun sent many of his sons to the battlefield to share joys and sorrows with ordinary soldiers, and even died in battle to defend his family and country.

Now, Li Cun has sent Li Biao, the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty and the future emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, to the battlefield to share the joys and sorrows with ordinary soldiers and fight bloody battles.

Soldiers generally believe that Li Cun deserves to be a man who became emperor step by step from the bottom. He didn't just let the children of the people go to the battlefield to die, but he really sent his own son to the battlefield to defend his family and the country. The emperor did not forget his roots.

More importantly, the crown prince who has experienced in the army, how can he not know the hardships and contributions of the soldiers, so, after such a crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will definitely not be like the emperors of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. , Why do you emphasize civility over military affairs, use civilian officials to command military generals, and tattoo soldiers with shameful tattoos on the faces of slaves and prisoners, but they will consider issues from the perspective of soldiers.

Li Cun cultivated the crown prince in this way and was so far-sighted. Who could not support him?

……

Let's talk about Li Biao who left the Northeast Army and returned to the capital under the escort of Yue Yun.

After being mixed into the 20 Han cavalry led by Wang Yan, Zhang Xian and others, they took the train and entered the customs from the Liaoxi Corridor. Li Biao and Yue Yun parted ways with Wang Yan and Zhang Xian.

The 20 Fanhan cavalry continued to take trains to the northwest roads in batches, while Li Biao continued to go south by land under the protection of [-] light cavalry led by Yue Yun.

This is Li Biao's choice.

Li Biao told Yue Yun and others that he wanted to take a good look at the great rivers and mountains of the Daqian Dynasty.

This is really just an excuse.

In fact, Li Biao had a feeling that after he returned to the capital this time, he might never come out again.

When passing Mount Tai, Li Biao also took Yue Yun and others to climb Mount Tai.

On Mount Tai, Li Biao composed a poem:

Mount Tai towers high into the clouds,

Majestic and magnificent.

Sunrise shines on the mountaintops,

The sea of ​​clouds is rolling at the foot of the mountain.

The ancient trees are towering and green all year round.

The gurgling sound of the brook.

It takes courage to climb Mount Tai,

It takes more practice to sharpen the will.

The beauty of Mount Tai lies in nature,

Fang Xianhao is not afraid of hardships and dangers.

Climbing to the top of Mount Tai is open-minded,

Everything is in it.

After listening to Li Biao's poem, all the people around praised Li Biao's poem, only Yue Yun remained silent.

Yue Yun really didn't hear what Li Biao did well in this poem. If it were this before, he would definitely have damaged Li Biao's poem, and maybe even write a nonsense poem to compare with Li Biao.

But now Yue Yun didn't dare to do this anymore.

And Li Biao, after listening to the flattering words of the people around him, suddenly remembered what his father Li Cun said to him before he came out: "If you don't go out for a walk, you will never be able to tell if others are flattering you." You, lied to you, misled you, and still told the truth."

At this moment, Li Biao clearly discerned that the people around him were trying to please him, and they were all telling lies.

Li Biao glanced at Yue Yun, who was silent, and remembered Yue Yun's previous evaluation of his poetic talent: "If you don't have poetic talent, you should just study the art of war honestly. Poetry is not suitable for you."

Li Biao couldn't help laughing, thinking: "I'd better stop writing poems in the future." Then he went down Mount Tai and continued south...
