Zhangsun Chong was dumbfounded.
Before he could finish his introduction, Lord Wu actually ran away?
What was going on?
"I say, Fourth Prince, has your reputation already spread throughout the Great Tang?”Zhangsun Wuji looked at the provincial governor who was running away and asked embarrassedly.
Li Tai was also stunned.
This was the first time he had seen a provincial governor! Why are you so afraid of me?
Was there something wrong with him?
However, what they didn't know was that two days ago, someone had returned from Chang 'an and brought back the news of the Fourth Prince snatching people. Now, with this scene, if the Provincial Governor didn't run away, was he waiting for Li Tai to snatch him away?
"How dare you, Wu Changgui! Why did you run?!"
Li Tai was furious and roared, scaring Wu Chang Gui so much that he stopped.
That's right!
Why should I run?
My son isn't in Luozhou, so what should I be afraid of?
All the soldiers at the city gate were stunned. They were all prepared to kill the Mountain Bandits, but what did they see?
He actually saw the Fourth Prince bringing all the young masters of the court to Luozhou City.
And the next moment, the Provincial Governor actually ran away?
What was this?
Everyone had a head full of question marks as they stared blankly at the provincial governor at the city gate.
"Wu Changgui! This prince came today with Imperial Father's imperial edict. Could it be that you want to defy the imperial edict?”Li Tai urged his horse forward and shouted.
Upon hearing the imperial edict, Wu Chang Gui was so frightened that his entire body trembled and he hurriedly knelt down.
At this moment, Fang Yi 'ai hesitated for a moment, before taking out an imperial edict from her sleeve and reading it aloud,""The imperial edict has arrived!"
This imperial edict was written by Li Tai. How could there be an imperial edict? However, this was not the time to pursue the matter. They did not have much time left. Three out of ten days had passed.
In an instant, everyone at the city gate knelt down in unison.
"Today, the Turks are so rampant that they have ordered the Fourth Prince and company to attack the Turks. They must do their best to help them along the way, or they will be punished for disobeying the decree!”
"Long live the Emperor!"
"This subject has received the decree!"
“……”
A moment later, everyone in the Provincial Governor's Office finally had a full meal. After a simple cleaning up, Wu Changgui brought the account book of the garrison in Luozhou City and the account book of the grain reserves.
Looking at the account book that was as big as two mountains, Li Tai's eyelids twitched.""Fang Yi 'ai, take a look at these account books.”
Fang Yi 'ai pretended to be sleeping and ignored him.
How long would this take?
You want me to see?
Are you trying to kill me?
Seeing that Fang Yiai didn't care about him and that the other loafers were unreliable, Li Tai rubbed his temples and said,""Wu Chang Gui, it's better for you to return the favor.”
" Your Highness, Luozhou City is located in the heart of the Tang Empire, so there aren't many troops stationed here. There are only about ten thousand of them, and with the addition of all sorts of people, there are only twenty thousand of them. As for rations…"
Li Tai interrupted him and said bluntly,""I want 10,000 light cavalry. Forget about the rest. There are also provisions, armaments, and so on.”
"This…"
Wu Changgui panicked.
I got a horse.
Ten thousand troops?
Was he trying to kill him?
Even though Luozhou City was located in the heart of the Great Tang, it was surrounded by bandits all year round. Once these ten thousand cavalry left, what would Luozhou City have left?
Thinking of this, Wu Chang Gui's face turned into tears. He knelt on the ground and said miserably,"Fourth Prince! You don't know my suffering! You're taking my life! Ten thousand cavalrymen? Our Luozhou Prefecture cavalry doesn't even add up to 5,000. Where do you want me to get 10,000 cavalry for you?“
These five thousand cavalrymen had been painstakingly requested by his superiors before they were finally obtained.
Moreover, it was during Zhangsun Wuji's birthday last year that Zhangsun Chong got drunk and beat him up. Zhangsun Wuji felt guilty and gave him 5,000 warhorses.
Moreover, the terrain of Luozhou was vast and flat. If there were no cavalry to guard it, how terrible would it be?
So when Li Tai said he wanted 10,000 cavalrymen, he cried.
She cried miserably.
Li Tai fell silent.
There were only seven days left before the ten-day mission deadline. Luozhou was the last city for everyone to resupply. Therefore, the success or failure of the mission depended on this.
If they couldn't even mobilize troops here, then they could forget about the cities behind them.
After hesitating for a while, Li Tai said,""Then five thousand cavalrymen."
"No! Fourth Prince, you have to leave me some troops to guard the Mountain Bandits, right?”
"There's no room for discussion!" Li Tai flicked his sleeves.
"Fourth Prince, don't be like this. Do you think it's easy for me?”
"You want to defy the imperial edict?" Li Tai was furious.”
This…
Wu Changgui was dumbfounded.
In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.
"Take this letter to Chang 'an. Father will definitely allocate 5,000 horses for you. But you have to remember, you have to go three days after I leave!”
In the end, Li Tai thought about it and wrote a letter to Wu Changgui.
Hearing this, Wu Chang Gui was overjoyed and hurriedly left.
If he had known that there would be such a letter, he would have given her anything she wanted!
But when he reached the door, Li Tai's words scared him so much that he staggered.
"Summon the most skilled smelter in Luozhou City!”
