Chapter 259 Retribution
"The cultural differences between the many countries in the Western Regions are very different from our Tang Dynasty. Not only are there many treasures there, but their appearance is also very different from ours.
Although you can sometimes see a few people from foreign lands in Chang'an, you are undoubtedly walking merchants. Why are they doing?
Don’t you know the hardships along the way? But why do you still risk your life to come here? It’s not because there are huge benefits.
As long as I open up this road completely, the benefits it brings to the Tang Dynasty will be unimaginable, and thus can promote the development of the two countries. Do you think such achievements can be compared to the eradication of several robbers?"
Looking at the puzzled expressions of the two, Xiao Zhengta had to tell the powerful relationship.
"The reason why the fourth brother asked his father to change the location of the competition was probably because the gentleman behind him gave him the advice, not to mention what kind of performance can a prince who has never led his troops to the battlefield."
Xiao Zhengtai was very unscathing about this. All the actions of the Fourth Brother were completely under his control and could not make any waves at all.
The soldiers who can truly enter the battlefield will never work hard for you because of your identity.
Even the little Zhengtai encountered difficulties at the beginning, so he had no choice but to let Cheng Chumo lead him to establish his authority. After a long period of running-in, he established his prestige in the army.
"Your Highness has foresight. I and Huaiyu have never thought about these things. Since your Highness has a plan in mind, then we will feel at ease."
Cheng Chumo smiled foolishly. The feeling of being crushed by IQ was very unhappy. Fortunately, they were already used to such scenes.
Three days passed, and King Li Tai of Wei was silent in his study, constantly checking everything about Dongting Lake.
Even Xiao Zhengtai heard that the fourth brother has been constantly studying military tactics these days, which made him laugh and cry. Is it really useful to sharpen the gun before the battle?
Because it was a competition, Xiao Zhengtai could not take all his ten thousand soldiers away this time, so he had to draw 5,000 troops from them to accompany the army.
Three days later, it was ten noon.
The two princes led their own troops to gather outside Chang'an Gate. All the civil and military officials in the court knew about their bet this time and rushed to see them off.
Of course, everyone is optimistic about Xiaoshouta because they all know that Xiaoshouta's reputation is achieved through his own ability.
The free King of Wei was just to bring shame to himself. Due to the royal family, they had to come and see him off.
Li Er was relieved by one hundred people for the little master, and his combat experience was absolutely rich, but King Wei and Li Er were really worried.
I have never had any experience in fighting. This time I just drove the ducks to the shelves and tried to give it a try for that position, and I also wanted to prove his ability to myself. However, Xiao Zhengta's light is so dazzling.
Standing on the city gate and looking at the two pairs of ready-to-go troops, Li Er said calmly: "You are all princes of the Tang Dynasty. This operation also represents the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. In three months, I am waiting for your good news. Do you understand?"
"My son will definitely not let down the father's entrusted!"
The King of Wei and Xiao Zhengtai hurriedly bowed and replied respectfully.
Li Tai did his homework for this action, so he was full of confidence at this time and showed a provocative smile at Xiao Zhengtai.
Xiao Zhengta was too lazy to pay attention to this, and waved to the soldiers behind him and said, "Set off!"
Xiao Zhengtai is their faith and the god in their hearts. No soldier will not obey Xiao Zhengtai's commands.
Slap sex!
The sound of uniform footsteps resounded outside the Chang'an Gate, as if thousands of troops were coming to the face, causing the big guys who came to see him off to feel a trembling heart. What a steel lion.
As soon as Xiao Zhengtai showed off such a force, the King of Wei Li Tai looked panicked. He had never experienced such a scene before. He quickly turned his head and looked at the general beside him.
"Your Highness, the army has been assembled, and I'm waiting for your order!"
The general hurriedly spoke, and he also saw that the King of Wei was nervous. He was just because of his status, so he could not blame him!
"Since the people have arrived, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Looking at the lazy soldiers behind him, Li Tai's expression became even more ugly. Without saying a word, he fell and rode forward on his horse.
The generals were all confused. Did the head coach give such an order? He didn't dare to neglect any more and set off immediately behind the King of Wei.
But he was complaining in his heart. His Majesty is really right. Do you really think that all the princes are His Highness the King of Jin? Isn’t it a bit too ridiculous to go to the expedition this time?
Looking at the departure of the two teams, Li Er's cheeks showed a strong look of worry. Of course, he was worried about Li Tai. He even planned to secretly send a team to protect Li Tai after he went back, so that he would not let something happen to the King of Wei in any case.
The older generation cannot intervene in the battle between the princes. Otherwise, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong will definitely pursue someone else's side when they go to the battle this time.
However, they all knew Xiao Zhengtai's ability, and their son would definitely not make any mistakes when he followed His Highness.
The action was extremely smooth along the way, and the only problem was the climate. Not to mention the hot day, once it was evening, mosquitoes would come overwhelmingly, causing the soldiers to suffer.
Especially Cheng Chumo, perhaps because of his sturdyness, he was particularly cared for by the mosquito army.
Even when he was going to the toilet, he didn't know which unethical mosquito actually sipped on his egg, which made Cheng Chumo feel angry.
From time to time, I would run aside and take off my pants and comfort my little brother well. This has also become the best topic of fun for everyone along the way.
In the end, Doctor Sun couldn't bear to see him anymore and gave him a pair of ointment. Perhaps this guy was too rude and actually scratched him.
When applying the ointment, he made a scream like a pig. For several days, it was difficult to walk due to swelling.
Seeing this scene, even Xiao Zhengta, who was in a bad mood, grinned, not to mention the other soldiers, who were smiling one by one.
Because of this reason, Cheng Chumo just cultivated himself in Xiao Zhengtai's carriage, and then he completely recovered, but the lower part was better, and the upper part was suffering.
My face was swollen, with traces of mosquito bites everywhere, and even my eyes were swollen into a gap.
Xiao Zhengtai was also speechless. He discovered it himself. Since Cheng Chumo entered the carriage, the mosquitoes were completely away from him, and he didn't even have to prepare for sleeping.
"Your Highness, I beg you, think of a trick. If this continues, I will have to hang up. Although Doctor Sun's ointment works, he does not repel mosquitoes!"
Cheng Chumo, sitting in the carriage, had a sad face and kept waving his hands to slap the mosquitoes flying in the air.
"There is no way, I am so righteous. Look at why these mosquitoes don't come to me. It must be because you have done too much inequality. This is called retribution."
This time he came out, he really didn't think about this, but even if there were mosquito repellent things, the effect would not be too great.
After all, in the deep mountains and forests, there are such a large group of them who are eating blood. These hungry mosquitoes are not going to rush over to death?
