Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Li Tai's expression did not ease after hearing Wei Ting's words.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Chengqian led his army to capture Liaodong City. What other city can stop them?"

"Zhang Junyi is a piece of shit. He took so many benefits from me but he didn't do anything!"

As he spoke, Li Tai stood up angrily and kicked the table in front of him away.

"Oh!"

The table fell to the wooden floor with a loud bang.

Wei Ting, Du Chuke, Fang Yiai, Cui Renshi and others were startled and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Besides Yan Lide and Zhang Junyi, aren't there others who failed to do their job well?

At this time, Yin Yushan, who was sitting below and drinking tea calmly, slowly spoke.

"Your Highness Prince Wei, don't worry."

Hearing Yin Yushan's words, everyone looked at her, and even Li Tai's angry expression softened.

He quickly asked: "Yushan, do you have any good news?"

"Yes." Yin Yushan nodded slightly, and then said softly: "Our people spread rumors in Xueyantuo and have successfully provoked the various Xueyantuo tribes to hate the Tang Dynasty."

"Whether it is the court officials or the common people of Xueyantuo, the fighting spirit is very high."

"According to the information sent back by the spies, Goguryeo also sent people to Xueyantuo to lobby Duomi Khan, preparing to unite to deal with the more than 10 troops of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Goguryeo."

"The Xueyantuo court is now preparing military rations and preparing for war. It may not be long before they start to act."

When Li Tai heard the good news brought by Yin Yushan, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

Li Tai looked at Yin Yushan affectionately and said excitedly: "Yushan, thanks to your help, otherwise we don't know what to do!"

Now the Mohe tribes have formed an alliance with Goguryeo. If the powerful Xueyantuo is also brought in, how can Li Chengqian and his men resist with their small number of troops?

After Li Tai finished speaking, he glared at Wei Ting, Du Chuke and Fang Yiai fiercely.

Feeling Li Tai's sharp gaze, the others lowered their heads deeply.

The King of Wei has changed. He now has a new love and has forgotten his old one.

They used to be called Little Sweeties, but after Yin Yushan came, they instantly became Mrs. Niu.

Not only them, but even Princess Yan Wan of Wei has fallen out of favor.

King Wei's heart is entirely focused on Yin Yushan.

Feeling the serious atmosphere at the scene, Yin Yushan covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, the backup plan arranged by the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Works will surely play an important role in the future."

"Now that all the arrangements have been made, we just need to watch the show quietly."

Li Tai nodded with a smile.

The depressed mood was instantly swept away because of Yin Yushan's few words.

Seeing that Li Tai's mood had improved, Wei Ting hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Prince of Wei, the Crown Prince and his men have seized a large amount of grain in Gaimu City and Liaodong City. You can ask Chai Lingwu to cancel the operation."

According to the original plan, after the army that was conquering Goguryeo had eaten up the first batch of stockpiled rations, Chai Lingwu, who was in charge of supervising the transportation of rations, would find a reason to delay the transportation of rations to the Liaodong battlefield for ten days or half a month.

Now the prince and his men are not short of food, so it will not make much difference if Chai Lingwu delays the transportation of food.

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "Just do as you say."

None of these people are useful. Together, their impact is not as great as that of a single woman, Yushan.

After a pause, Li Tai's gaze swept across the faces of his staff again, and he frowned and asked.

"Li Chengqian is now more and more valued in the heart of the emperor, and I haven't made much progress in this period. Do you have any good ideas?"

"We can't just sit there and watch, we have to find a way to please our father!"

As Li Tai finished speaking, the hall fell silent again.

All the staff members lowered their heads in thought.

Unlike others who were racking their brains to think, Yin Yushan picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully.

Beneath her beautiful face that could bring disaster to the country and the people, there was no sign of nervousness.

Li Tai not only did not scold Yin Yushan for leisurely sipping tea, but he also walked over and sat down opposite her.

"Yushan, pour me a cup of tea too."

Yin Yushan poured Li Tai a cup of tea and said, "Your Highness, please."

Time passed by minute by minute, and Li Tai drank a belly full of tea.

Seeing that his staff still couldn't come up with a good idea, he raised his brows and asked, "What? Still no clue?"

"No..."

Everyone shook their heads slowly.

Just as Li Tai was about to lose his temper, Yin Yushan spoke again: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei, His Majesty loves calligraphy and has been looking for the original copy of the Lanting Preface."

"Why don't we cater to his wishes and send someone to find the original copy of the Lanting Preface and present it to Your Majesty?"

"I believe that as long as Your Highness gives this original painting to His Majesty, His Majesty will be very pleased!"

In the early years, Li Shimin ordered a large-scale collection of Wang Yizhi's authentic works. After a lot of effort, a total of 2,290 sheets of Wang Yizhi's authentic works were collected.

But the only thing missing is the masterpiece "Preface to the Lanting Collection"!

This also became a concern for Li Shimin.

When everyone heard Yin Yushan's suggestion, their eyes lit up.

Li Tai asked quickly, "Yushan, do you know where the original copy of "Lanting Xu" is?"

Yin Yushan nodded, smiling and said, "In the hands of a monk named Biancai at Yongxin Temple in Yuezhou!"

"Preface to the Lanting Poems" was treated as a family heirloom by Wang Xizhi and was passed down to his seventh-generation grandson Wang Zhiyong.

However, Wang Zhiyong became a monk at a young age and did not marry or have children. Therefore, before his death, he passed the family heirloom "Preface to the Lanting Poems" to his disciple, Monk Biancai.

Li Tai stood up suddenly, turned to Wei Suan and said, "Send someone to Yongxin Temple immediately and bring back the original copy of the Lanting Preface!"

"promise!"

Wei Suan clasped his fists in salute and strode away.

...

The news that the prince led a large army to conquer Goguryeo and achieved a great victory spread throughout Chang'an City like a whirlwind in just half a day.

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

In a luxurious room in the backyard.

Li Yi leaned comfortably on the head of the bed and read a book, while Linglong was busy wiping Du Ping'an's butt.

Next to Linglong, a good-looking nanny said with a smile.

"Miss Linglong, how about letting me come?"

Linglong waved her hands and said, "It's okay, I can do it!"

After struggling for a while, Linglong finally finished it. She frowned and muttered.

"This little guy doesn't drink much milk a day, how can he poop so much?"

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room.

The maidservant said softly, "Your Highness, Princess Changle is here."

Li Yi's surprised voice came from the room: "Please invite my sister in."

Not long after, Li Lizhi came in impatiently with her maid.

She first teased the little guy Du Ping'an for a while, then walked to Li Yi and said with a smile.

"Yier, I have good news for you!"

"Brother and Du He have won several great battles in Liaodong. It won't be long before they return triumphantly!"

Li Yi said happily: "That's great!"

These days she has been worried about her elder brother and husband. Now hearing the good news, she can finally put her mind at ease.

...

Li Chengqian and Du He were unaware of the news that the army's great victory had caused a sensation in Chang'an City.

After two days of marching, they finally led their army to the city wall of Baiyan City.

Looking at the closed gates of Baiyan City, Hou Junji immediately ordered the army to surround this isolated city.

The defenders of Baiyan City saw the Tang army setting up tents under the city, but they did not dare to send anyone out of the city to attack.

In the commander's tent 5 miles outside the city.

Li Chengqian, Du He and a group of marching generals were urgently discussing the siege plan.

After more than two hours of discussion, the details of the siege were finally finalized.

Li Chengqian slapped the table and said, "The army will have a good rest today, and we will formally attack Baiyan City tomorrow!"

"Goguryeo's 5 reinforcements are expected to arrive here in four days. We will try to capture Baiyan City within two days!"

Everyone stood up and shouted in unison.

"As ordered!"
