In Taiyuan, when there is no trouble, the ordinary people don't feel that the two princes in the city have any strength. On the contrary, they will laugh at their cowardice, which is a model of the royal coward. But this time when something happened, the ordinary people found out. , It turns out that the two princes are quite powerful. In the past, they didn't call them cowards, but they called them low-key. ¡º¡Ü?In order to deal with the upcoming vanguard of King Yan¡¯s army, the two princes really tried their best. This time they wanted to keep King Yan¡¯s army out of the city, not only to show off their muscles for the prince Li Chongjiu, but also for their two families. Wang Fu has an opportunity to show off his muscles, so he must go all out. Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde both know very well that they used to keep a low profile because they wanted to save their lives, but now they keep a high profile to show their strength and also to save their lives. Since they are on the team of Prince Li Chongjiu, they must let King Yan Yang Ze Look, the strength of the princes of Taiyuan cannot be underestimated. If the princes of Taiyuan are angered, then the princes join forces, King Yan may not be able to get a good deal, and maybe King Yan himself will be overthrown. . The garrison troops in Taiyuan City exceed 20,000. In terms of the strength of a single city, it is the third largest city after Chang'an and Luoyang. This is only the army in the city, not counting the troops in states and counties outside the city, so If you want to strengthen the city's defenses, as long as you are not preparing for a long siege, ordinary defenses can be completed in one day. You only need to deepen and reinforce the original base of the fortifications. Prince Cheng and Prince Jingde stood on the city wall with the same gloomy expressions. Prince Cheng raised his head and looked at the sky and said: "It's still an hour before it gets dark. The scout just came back to report that King Yan's vanguard We have already reached fifty miles, and it seems that we will reach the city in the evening. Judging from the time, our estimate is correct. " Prince Jingde hummed. Looking at the soldiers working hard below, he said: "It only takes an hour. Should we recruit the people in the city and let them go out to work? Otherwise, I am afraid that the army alone will not be able to complete such a huge fortification!" , more than 20,000 Taiyuan soldiers were throwing away their arms, sweating profusely and driving wooden stakes. There were soldiers outside who were scattering iron caltrops on the ground, driving wooden piles and spreading iron caltrops. They are the two simplest types of fortifications. They are both designed to make it more difficult for the enemy to approach the city wall. However, it does take a little effort to complete them in one day, but it is not impossible to complete. Prince Cheng shook his head and said: "There is no need to mobilize the people. It is too late to mobilize at this time. I think King Yan's vanguard arrived at the city and saw the fortifications outside. They will stop and send people back to report to King Yan. It is necessary to attack the city immediately. Impossible, no matter how reckless the generals leading the vanguard are, they will not immediately attack the city. We made the matter more critical to His Highness, so that he would feel that we have done a great job. " Prince Jingde. Hey, he said: "Of course I understand this. And I guess King Yan will not attack the city. His food and grass are in our hands. Unless he wants to rebel, it is impossible to attack Taiyuan directly. This is We are in the land of Longxing. Attacking Taiyuan is a rebellion." Prince Cheng looked back at the city and said, "His Royal Highness is delicate and rich, but he still doesn't go to the city at this time. It doesn't look like he is a traitor. He is a man who can achieve great things!" He sighed and said, "By the way, how is your grandson Bozhi? Has the injury healed?" Prince Jingde frowned and said, "It has actually gotten worse. But as long as he takes good care of himself and the doctor treats him carefully, he will still be fine, but I'm afraid it will take longer. The messenger who beat him was sent by Wu Youren. Wu Youren didn't mention it, so I can't take the initiative to talk about it. After all, the messenger is dead." Just when they were talking about Li Chongjiu, they heard cheers on the streets in the city. When the two princes looked back, they saw the prince Li Chongjiu, wearing full prince attire, sitting upright. On a tall white horse, Wu Youren followed behind him, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. All of these soldiers were wearing luxurious armor and carrying swords and spears. From the outside, they looked really majestic and murderous. ! As soon as Li Chongjiu led a large group of Golden Crow soldiers on the street, the people of Taiyuan automatically made way for him. I don't know who shouted "Prince Qiantai" first, and then the people all over the street followed suit. The shouts of "Prince Qiantai" became louder and louder. The higher it goes, the more people shout. In just a moment, tens of thousands of people came onto the street and crowded forward. Judging from their appearance, they didn't know whether they wanted to say hello to Li Chongjiu or touch Li Chongjiu's clothes. Maybe some of them were Want to touch that tall white horse! Li Chongjiu was startled by the large number of people who came to join in the fun. He set out at this time because it took a lot of time to dress up. He is a person who pays great attention to appearance and clothing, especially when he has to deal with tonight. Yang Ze's army even dressed up to go out, but he didn't expect that they would be blocked on the street by enthusiastic people on the way. If you let go?Normally, if the people were so "enthusiastic" to him, Li Chongjiu would have fainted from joy, but not at this time today. He was about to go to the city wall, and there was something very important waiting for him, so when he couldn't move forward anymore At that time, his face became ugly. Wu Youren was shocked when he saw such a scene just now. He felt that he was wasting time, but then he thought that if Li Chongjiu could get the support of the people in Taiyuan, then if he really went to war with Yang Ze, wouldn't it mean that Li Chongjiu had a solid territory? , in Taiyuan, whether it is recruiting soldiers, grain, or civilians, it is the most reliable. Even if the tax is the heaviest, as long as the last grain of food is not taken away from the people's bowls, the people will still be able to Bear with me, where can I find such a good site? Wu Youren quickly caught up with Li Chongjiu, riding side by side. His horse was one horse head behind Li Chongjiu. He whispered: "His Royal Highness, there is still some time now, don't be anxious. It is not often that the people support His Highness the Crown Prince like this." Meetings, well, there will be many meetings in the future. Your Highness the Crown Prince must seize this opportunity to win the favor of the people of Taiyuan, so that they can firmly support you in the most difficult situations that may arise in the future. " Li Chongjiu! He had no choice but to nod his head. From a long-term perspective, Wu Youren was right. He had no choice but to bow his hands to the people and said loudly: "Fellow folks in Taiyuan, I have to go up to the city to defend the city to prevent the enemy from attacking it." , If there is any need for help from fellow villagers, please lend a helping hand. We, the army and the people in the city, will work together to fight against the enemy!" He shouted these words very loudly, and the people around him just need to stay close to him. , almost everyone heard it. When the people heard it, they stopped cheering and started to be frightened! You can¡¯t blame the people for being frightened. Taiyuan is not very far away from Tujue. If the Tujue Khanate invades the Dafang Empire. They usually attack Taiyuan, but in recent decades, Dafang and Tujue have become brothers, and there has been no large-scale war. When Li Chongjiu came to Taiyuan, the people didn't know why. They didn't even know that Li Chongjiu was coming. At most, they were a little confused because they had cleaned the streets yesterday. But today, because the army wanted to strengthen the defenses outside the city, Prince Li had arrived. The news about Taiyuan spread. Within one day, the people in the city knew about Li Chongjiu's arrival, but they only thought that Li Chongjiu came to see the place where his ancestors made their fortunes. No one expected that there would be a war! Now listen to Li Chongjiu say this. Reminiscent of the troops reinforcing the fortifications outside, it would be strange if the people could not be frightened, let alone them. Even the proud people of Chang'an, the emperor who claims to be the best in the world, would still be panicked if Leng Ding heard that enemy troops were coming to attack the city. The people near Li Chongjiu were quiet. No more pushing forward, those who are far away don't know yet, but when they see that the people in front stop shouting and yelling, the people behind will naturally ask why and what happened. This is just a sentence Something happened, enemy soldiers were coming to attack Taiyuan. When the people in front said this, the people behind were naturally frightened. In just a moment, the people in Taiyuan who rushed to the streets fell silent and stared at Li Chongjiu. Wu Youren immediately understood that the worst was that the prince did not speak clearly. This was to cause misunderstandings, and the people on the streets were afraid. Be alarmed! He could see that the panic on the faces of some people had reached the limit, and they were about to scream. If they ran around at this time, the panic would be like an infectious disease, and it would explode in the streets in an instant. If you run around, you may hurt someone, and Li Chongjiu is about to climb the city wall. It would be too unlucky if this happened. Besides, it may also hurt Li Chongjiu himself. Of course, the most important thing is that he is right there. It would be too bad if Li Chongjiu hurt himself next to him. Wu Youren hurriedly said loudly: "The expeditionary army of King Yan is going to pass through Taiyuan. His Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that the army will enter the city and disturb the people, so he plans to prevent King Yan's army from entering the city. So, all fellow villagers, don't worry. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince is here, no one will dare to bully him." "You!" Fortunately, he shouted this in time, otherwise it would really cause panic. If tens of thousands of people were running around on the street, the consequences would be disastrous! Li Chongjiu looked at the quiet people. He also knew that things were going to be bad, but because he lacked quick wit, he didn't know how to react. When Wu Youren shouted for him, he felt relieved a little. Following Wu Youren's words, he He also shouted: "Please believe that as long as you are alone, Taiyuan will be safe!" The people were confused at first, and of course they are still confused now, but they heard that it was just the army of their own country passing by, and they just didn't want to The purpose of letting the army enter the city was to prevent disturbing the people, and the people were relieved. This was not a big deal in the first place. Some people even thought that this was an act by the prince to gain the people's support. This was good. This at least showed that the prince ?Your Majesty still attaches great importance to the public support of the people of Taiyuan! At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "The prince is wise, long live the prince!" I guess the person shouting this is the kind of person who makes noises. Anyway, if he is mixed in the crowd, no matter how nonsense he talks, no one can control him. He couldn't find out who was shouting, so he shouted "Long live!" But if there are one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be a series. When everyone had this idea, no matter what I shouted, no one knew it was me. So, dozens of people followed and shouted, "The prince is wise, long live the prince." ! Immediately afterwards, all the people on the street started shouting, the shouts of "Long Live the Prince" were deafening, and the whole sky in Taiyuan was filled with the shouts of "Long Live the Prince!" Li Chongjiu was shocked at first, and then as more and more people called him long live, his surprised expression quickly disappeared and was replaced by a look of joy. The joy on his face was really hard to hide. He didn't expect that the people of Taiyuan would actually In public, shout him long live! "Long live the word, only the emperor deserves to have it. Even if the prince is the future emperor and the crown prince of the country, he cannot be called long live!" Don't say that the person who shouts "Long Live" is guilty. Even the person who is shouted out is guilty if he accepts the word "Long Live". At this time, Li Chongjiu should retort loudly and explain to the people not to call him long live. Moreover, he should immediately write a memorial to apologize and send it back to Chang'an to apologize to Li Yan, saying that the people of Taiyuan were ignorant and even called him long live. As a son, I don¡¯t dare to accept such a title, so I ask Li Yan to punish him. Of course, all the blame belongs to him and has nothing to do with the people of Taiyuan. I ask Li Yan not to punish the people of Taiyuan. This is what the formal procedure is. But in this situation, it is impossible for Li Chongjiu to refute and not allow the people to call him long live. Not to mention that Li Chongjiu does not have such a loud voice, and he himself does not have the intention to shout. Why rush to refute? Listen Listening to the sound of Long Live is the most advanced enjoyment in the world. Even Wu Youren said later: "This is the merit of His Highness the Crown Prince for all the people to return to their hearts. Taiyuan is the place where our dynasty flourished. His Highness the Crown Prince has won the hearts of the people here, which means that one day, he will get the support of the people." From the hearts of the people in the world, I congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince, long live His Royal Highness!" Li Chongjiu's face was red. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He could only raise his hand and wave it to the people. He even Turning around, he said to Wu Youren: "Today I know the joy of being a king!" The cheers of the people were too loud. Although they were very close, Wu Youren could not hear clearly what Li Chongjiu said, but judging from the shape of his mouth, Wu Youren could After guessing it, I thought to myself: "This can be considered the joy of serving the king? It's too far away. The real joy of serving the king is not just this!" Amidst the cheers of the people, Li Chongjiu When they arrived at the city gate, Prince Cheng, Prince Jingde, and a group of nobles and nobles all came down from the city wall and stood by the wall, waiting to take Li Chongjiu up to the city wall! Li Chongjiu dismounted his horse next to the city wall. He strode up the city wall and climbed to a high place. He held on to the wall stacks with one hand and waved to the people in the city with the other. The strong wind on the city wall blew the red cherry blossoms on his helmet. The shaking feels a bit like a jade tree facing the wind, and also a bit heroic. Seeing His Majesty the Crown Prince's might, the people cheered even louder. Li Chongjiu was facing the city at this time. After waving his hands for a long time, he walked to the other side of the city wall, facing the outside of the city and facing the people working outside. Taiyuan soldiers waved their hands.
