Chapter 16-The Front Line
The next morning, Li Jiang prepared to follow the army to the border.
Accompanying them were Duke Cheng Yaojin and a large number of soldiers.
Not only were these soldiers escorting rations, but they were also Li Shimin's reinforcements for Hou Junji.
Cheng Yaojin was quite excited about this. After all, he was here as Hou Junji's reinforcement, so he didn't have to be restricted by Hou Junji.
As for Li Jiang, he was arranged to be in Cheng Yaojin's central army. After all, he was a prince. Cheng Yaojin would not let Li Jiang take the risk. Although he knew that Li Jiang had strong martial strength, it would be bad if he was hurt.
Today, Li Jiang was wearing Golden Dragon Armor, riding a divine chariot unique to the royal family, and holding the Shining Pan Dragon Spear. He looked even more mighty and extraordinary.
However, Li Jiang's method was a little special. He had to discharge the force into the ground through the horse's hooves, otherwise the horse would not be able to withstand his weight.
This way, all of his strength would be unloaded into the ground through his profound cultivation, and the warhorse could easily carry Li Jiang and gallop.
Wuwuwu--
The horn sounded, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers galloped, sending dust flying.
In the distance, a group of elite soldiers was rushing toward Li Jiang. The general in the lead was holding a broad axe. It was Cheng Yaojin.
Old Cheng greets the King of Nanyang."
When he approached Li Jiang, Cheng Yaojin stopped his horse and bowed respectfully to Li Jiang.
Although Cheng Yaojin was nicknamed the Demon King of Chaos and acted without any scruples, in fact, this was also the way Cheng Yaojin lived in the world. This way, he would not be suspected by the emperor.
"Duke Su, please excuse me." Li Jiang waved his hand.
Then, Cheng Yaojin brought Li Jiang to the base camp. This was his final command post. The soldiers were lined up to welcome the Nanyang King.
Other than the soldiers, there were also Cheng Yaojin's high-ranking generals.
"Greetings, Your Highness the King of Nanyang!"
When Li Jiang appeared, all the soldiers knelt down and greeted him. After all, the dignity of the royal family could not be offended.
As a prince, personally going to the front line was even more important.
Therefore, they naturally did not dare to be negligent.
To a certain extent, the Nanyang King could even represent the emperor, especially some high-ranking generals and even Cheng Yaojin. They were very clear about the ways of the world.
To put it bluntly, it was slippery.
In fact, if the person who came today wasn't Li Jiang, Cheng Yaojin would still welcome him. It was just that he had a little more respect for Li Jiang in his heart.
After all, Li Jiang had already proven his strength to him.
In history, Cheng Yaojin was afraid that Li Shimin would not trust him, so he sent people back to Li Shimin to ask for a large amount of resources and land.
All of this was to let Li Shi Min understand that he only wanted to be a subject.
An official with a bad reputation would actually make the Emperor feel more at ease.
Therefore, although Cheng Yaojin was a martial artist, he lived a better life than any minister or noble.
"Soldiers, please excuse the formalities."
Li Jiang sat on his horse and waved his hand as he spoke in a clear voice.
Cheng Yaojin introduced the high-ranking generals to Li Jiang.
"Your Highness, this is my son, Cheng Chumo. This is…"
Li Jiang paid more attention to Cheng Chumo and found that they were indeed father and son. Cheng Chumo and Cheng Yaojin were both big and burly. When he heard his father introduce him, he hurriedly bowed to Li Jiang and said loudly,"Old Cheng greets the King of Nanyang…"
Before he could finish, Cheng Yaojin kicked him in the butt."If you are Old Chen, then what am I?”
Cheng Chumo scratched his head and chuckled. He didn't care.
Li Jiang smiled. In comparison, he preferred to get along with a boorish man like Cheng Chumo.
Although Cheng Chumo looked carefree, he had extraordinary abilities. He was the eldest son of Duke Cheng Yaojin of Su State. Moreover, the elders around him were all generals in the army. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he already had extraordinary military talent at a young age.
Moreover, Cheng Yaojin had taught him his own unique skills. Whether it was his ability to lead troops or his personal reach, Cheng Chumo was very good.
They hurried to the front line. That night, Cheng Yaojin held a banquet for Li Jiang.
Along the way, Li Jiang noticed that some generals didn't welcome him very much. Although they didn't express it, Li Jiang could feel it.
Li Jiang immediately understood.
After all, this was a war. Other than Cheng Yaojin, no one else knew his ability. Therefore, in their eyes, Li Jiang was in danger.
A prince with no ability came here. If he were to point fingers, would you listen or not?
Therefore, they felt that Li Jiang's arrival was a little troublesome.
However, Li Jiang didn't say much. After all, although they didn't welcome him, they didn't show it. Moreover, he was Cheng Yaojin's subordinate, so he had to give him face.
All he had to do was wait on the battlefield and use his strength to subdue them!
