Chapter 307： : We are going to do something big!

Changsun Wuyi also sat silently beside Li Chengfeng.

Li Xiaogong filled a glass of wine, raised the glass, and said happily: "It is really an honor for the eighth prince to come to Suzhou to visit the old minister! This cup is for the old minister to respect the eighth prince. If the old minister does it, the eighth prince can do whatever he wants!"

"Haha, the general has done it, how can I not give face? Well, I will do it too!"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengfeng also raised his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

After all, Li Chengfeng has the talent of 'not getting drunk with a thousand cups', drinking is as easy as drinking water.

It's just that I drank too much and had to go to the toilet a few more times, but those are small things.

Afterwards, Li Chengfeng revealed his real purpose for coming here.

Li Chengfeng said: "General Li, this year is a year of severe drought. People's lives are difficult, and the military camp must be the same! So I came to Suzhou to see if there are any officials who stole food under the order of my father!"

"Oh, so that's the case! But it's still an honor for the Eighth Prince to come here to visit the old minister!"

"By the way, General Li! It is said that Suzhou is bordered by Tubo in the south and Turks in the north. These two enemy countries are all eyeing us on the frontier land of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Hmph!" After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Li Xiaogong snorted coldly and said, "It's just two barbarians and thieves! With me guarding the border of the Tang Dynasty, they will never even think about stepping into our border!"

"Well, I want to ask, what is the military strength of Tubo and Turks?" Li Chengfeng asked again.

Li Xiaogong replied, "There are about 30,000 Tubo soldiers stationed outside Suzhou City, and about 50,000 Turkic thieves in the north of Suzhou! But our Tang soldiers in Suzhou only have 50,000! If they attack at the same time, maybe I have to go to Liangzhou City to borrow troops to defend! But the Eighth Prince doesn’t have to worry about this, since the four states of the Tang Dynasty are connected to defend the frontier, those two barbarians and thieves will definitely not be able to attack. ! Moreover, the two countries are also hostile, but they are separated by our Great Tang, so they want to invade our Great Tang's territory first!"

Li Xiaogong looked serious and frowned tightly.

Li Chengfeng could see how much pressure and mission this great general was shouldering.

Once Suzhou breaks through, Datang will lose a piece of frontier territory.

However, Suzhou was beset by enemies, with Tubo in the south and Turks in the north. These two countries were eyeing Tang Dynasty covetously.

Therefore, Li Xiaogong must pay attention to border defense at all times to prevent foreign enemies from invading Datang's territory.

Li Chengfeng once again respected Li Xiaogong with a glass of wine, and said: "General Li, my prince accompanied me, and I also brought my 3000 Xuanjia army. How about you take them to the battlefield tomorrow to declare war, and to show off my Tang Dynasty's prestige?"

"Hahaha, the eighth prince, you are being polite! To be honest, if the war was not imminent, we would not have dispatched all our troops to fight. What we have to do now is to protect Suzhou from being invaded! If the eighth prince If you want your own army to go to the battlefield to train, I'm afraid now is not the time!"

"Oh, so that's the case!" Li Chengfeng nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Then it's okay for us to stay here for a while, right?"

"No, of course there is no problem! Eighth Prince, you can stay as long as you want!" Li Xiaogong said very grandly.

Li Chengfeng nodded with a smile, and said: "Okay, then the prince will not be polite!"

…

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengfeng and Li Xiaogong went to the Suzhou frontier defense city together. After watching for a while, they retreated from the city wall.

Looking from a distance, there is a large area of ​​dark military tents in the south. Those are Tubo soldiers who are hostile to Suzhou City of the Tang Dynasty.

They eat their breakfast, and smoke rises from the kitchen.

After Li Chengfeng had dinner, he also bid farewell to Li Xiaogong, and went to Suzhou City with his eldest grandson Wuyi to check the people's conditions.

The lord of Suzhou City is named Liu Changwei.

Chang Wei? The name Li Chengfeng sounds very familiar.

As soon as Liu Changwei heard that the Eighth Prince of the Tang Dynasty had come to Suzhou City for inspection, he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly entertained Li Chengfeng with good wine and good food.

After all, this is the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty, and it is very likely that he will be the future God King of the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty.

As a governor, Liu Changwei, how could he not treat Li Chengfeng well?

The 3000 Xuanjia troops that Li Chengfeng followed were also left by Li Chengfeng in Li Xiaogong's border defense city to stand by.

Because Li Chengfeng is going to do a very important thing now.

But dispatching 3000 Xuanjia troops is a bit overkill.

And Li Chengfeng brought his troops to Suzhou, firstly, to let them exercise on the battlefield, and secondly, just in case.

In case they really cheated away all the food, grass and money of Turkic and Tubo, they will be annoyed and plan to die with Suzhou.

Then at this time, Li Chengfeng's 3000 Xuanjia Army can come in handy.

…

When he came to the home of Liu Changwei, the lord of Suzhou City, Liu Changwei welcomed Li Chengfeng very warmly.

After a while of booing and asking for warmth, there was another reception of good wine and meat.

Although Li Chengfeng was only six years old, Liu Changwei did not dare to underestimate the young man in front of him.

"The eighth prince came to Suzhou for inspection, and Chang Wei greeted him from afar, and greeted him from afar!"

"Come on, invite the Eighth Prince!"

"okay!"

Li Chengfeng is not polite Together with his eldest grandson Wuyi, he came to Liu Changwei's home.

Li Chengfeng said: "City Master Liu, to be honest, this prince came to Suzhou City this time to inspect the people's conditions!"

"Oh, good! I've heard about this, and the old minister also heard about the one-year bet between the Eighth Prince and the Emperor! I didn't expect the Eighth Prince to start inspections from Suzhou!"

Liu Changwei smiled heartily.

Li Chengfeng frowned, and said: "City Master Liu, it seems that my prince approved millions of catties of grain in Suzhou last month, right? You have swallowed these grains privately, but have you distributed them all to the common people? ?”

Speaking of this, Liu Changwei was startled, and then he raised three fingers and said: "The sky is a lesson, the old minister never stole the food distributed by the common people. Those grains are still stored in the old minister's granary. Tens of thousands of catties of grain are distributed to the people of Suzhou every day!"

"Well, that's good! When the people are strong, the country is strong. Don't suffer the people because of your own selfish desires, you know?"

"Yes, what the eighth prince said is that the old minister has been taught!"

Liu Changwei cupped his fists, bowed heavily to Li Chengfeng, and said, "The old minister admires the actions of the eighth prince! In the year of natural disasters in the Tang Dynasty, the eighth prince dared to open the treasury and release granaries to relieve the people of the whole Tang Dynasty. Just for this, the old minister I admire the Eighth Prince very much!"

"Haha, okay! We won't mention anything else, so I'll just ask you, why do we want to make a big deal now, do you have any connections?"

"Uh... Do you have a big ticket? Dare I ask, what do you mean, Eighth Prince?"

Liu Changwei opened his small eyes wide, and looked at Li Chengfeng suspiciously.

He only knew that Li Chengfeng and Li Shimin had a one-year bet, and that Li Chengfeng came to Suzhou to inspect, but he didn't know what it was to be a big ticket?
