He wouldn't give him money to buy crossbows anyway. He just gave him a few million gold coins as a token of appreciation. He thought this was already a lot for Li Cong's army.

Two weeks later, the names of the two battalions of the new army were finally decided, one was the Invincible Battalion and the other was the Hero Battalion. The names of these two battalions were not given by the above. According to the past practice of the Imperial Army, the names of this army were

They were all given names by His Majesty the Emperor, and the names obtained in this way can be regarded as the most upright and honorable names. It seems that is no longer the case. Li Cong chose two names and went directly with the memorial. The Ministry of War has

Li Cong was so domineering that he was extremely angry. The entire Ministry of War, including Shangshu Hua Mingxiong, was still a little patient with Li Cong. Others wanted to pull Li Cong down directly, but they all knew that they did not have that ability.

They could only feel depressed for a while. They jointly went to His Majesty, but something happened that made them even more depressed. His Majesty actually allowed this situation. A bunch of veterans from the Ministry of War didn't know what to say. This

But this has not happened for tens of thousands of years. Li Cong's luck must be too good.

In the Yanxi Palace, the imperial concubine Yan was looking at the birthday gifts that Li Cong had brought in for Princess Shengping. Each piece could be said to be a rare treasure and priceless. Li Cong was really interested in Princess Shengping. Others

The empresses all know that Li Cong, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, is very generous. Whenever there is a happy event in the palace, Li Cong's steward will come in with heavy gifts. This Princess Shengping is Li Cong's future wife.

This gift will definitely not be too light. Mrs. Yan also feels that this is a matter of honor, so naturally she will not let them come to visit. By the way, she will show off her good son-in-law to them and let these "sisters" see it.

Do you have such a good son-in-law? The embarrassing time will come later. Your Majesty has no time to interfere with the affairs of the harem. He also likes the Yan family very much. He will not interfere with such small things. The harem has its own harem.

A set of rules.

"My sister is so lucky to have such a good son-in-law. Look, I have three daughters. One son-in-law died, and the other two sons-in-law combined are not as good as my sister's. Shengping

What a blessing." The person speaking was the Zhou family, another imperial concubine of the dynasty. This woman's family can be said to be more prominent than the Yan family, but compared with the Wuya family and the Ulanala family.

There is still a big gap between them. Usually, the two of them join forces to fight against the queen. But when they are good allies, they will be jealous when they see their good friends have so many good things. That is the case now.

He was holding a pair of fine cold jade bracelets in his hands. Such fine bracelets are rare these days. Although he also had a pair, it was only one pair, but Li Cong directly gave it to Princess Shengping and her mother-in-law.

The two women sent seven or eight pairs. It is said that these are not very good ones. They were given to Princess Shengping as gifts. All the really good ones were collected. She looked really happy.

Yan's eyes were hot. She took one look at her and wondered how she could not know that her sister was greedy for money.

"Haha, what did my sister say? She is my son-in-law, doesn't it belong to you? I will ask someone to send the things here to my sister later. I can just accept what I like. We sisters know the difference so clearly.

What are you doing? Shengping has gotten some good things from you. I didn’t know how to repay the gift before, but now I have an opportunity. My sister must accept them all. If I don’t accept them, will I look down on me?

?" Imperial concubine Yan is very good at giving gifts. It is the right thing to say this now. Otherwise, Zhou may not be able to get off the stage. As expected, Zhou laughed when she heard Yan's words.

Whoever spoke had a bright face. Several other women looked at Ms. Zhou with envy. Alas, there is nothing that can be done about it. Who said two people have a good relationship? These few of them are not that good.

With good luck, in the end, the Yan family asked each of them to pick one piece. This was already a very good treatment. Each piece was worth more than hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Li Cong spent a lot of money this time.

, if he were here, he would definitely know how happy Mrs. Yan was.

After seeing off all the concubines, Mrs. Yan was still a little happy. Looking at the gift list, she couldn't sleep. Princess Shengping didn't even notice when she came in. When Princess Shengping saw her current appearance, she slapped away the gift list.

, "Are you so happy? This is the money you got from selling your daughter, and you just want to marry me off?" Princess Shengping said unhappily. Energy Group 1668

"Hey, my little aunt, you can play with this thing casually. You said which mother in the world is willing to let her daughter suffer in other people's homes, but you are different. Look at it.

Everyone in the world likes to come here to this palace, but what about you? You have been here since you were born, and you should go out and see the outside world. What a great opportunity it is now. Li Cong doesn’t have any parents-in-law at home.

Yes, you are a capable person. Take a look at these things that have been sent to you. Your life will definitely be better than that of your aunt and others in the future. You said that among the girls in the imperial capital, who wouldn’t envy you? I heard

Xiao Yinzi and the others said that the queue for giving gifts was as long as a street from the imperial capital, and several of your uncles also came to tell me how good our uncles are, how powerful they are on the front line, and how many of them have won the prize.

What else do you want from your majesty's usefulness?" Mrs. Yan said dissatisfied, her daughter can't think of anything else at this time. If this is really the case, she will be considered bad, and the entire empire may be.

He would scold his own mother and father, but such a thing should not happen.

"Humph, you're not sincere. What's wrong with sending something back? Even if the entire treasury is given to me, I don't want it. What I like is people. Even if he is a beggar, as long as he doesn't let me starve to death, I will follow him. Then

It has been two months, and there is no news at all except for constantly sending things back. The letters always talk about things on the front line. What does my daughter's family want to do?" Princess Shengping said, Li Cong is still the same Li Cong.

But how could Li Cong take care of her so thoughtfully when he had big things in the world hidden in his heart? The Yan family knew this very well. The concubines in the harem could not understand this matter. It was impossible for them to get His Majesty's help.

Love, this is what they all want, but they can never get it in their lifetime.

"Well, nothing in a person's life is perfect. Since you have nothing to do, why not make him some clothes? It's very cold in the north. The temperature in the north should be very low at this time." Yan said.

Princess Shengping's eyes shone with light. Yes, she can definitely find something to do. When she has something to do, time will pass quickly.

What the noble concubine Yan said is very accurate. Two months after Li Cong's new army was formed, the first heavy snowfall came to the north. It started to snow heavily in July and it is probably here. Fang Wunan

Because they haven't killed the Snake Queen, they continue to stay in Guangming City, but their follow-up troops have not come over. Now their two hundred thousand people staying here are actually for a symbolic purpose, with Li Cong's new

It is impossible for the army to take part in them, and the north has been quiet for two months. In these two months, Li Cong has sent a large number of scouts there every day to take a look.

The news we got is quite good. The barbarians gained wisdom after seeing each other. Now they are basically at the back of Nancheng. There are basically no one of them in the south of Nancheng. It seems that they are also very afraid of death.

They used to hang around Guangming City. After all, the land here is warmer and a lot of grass can grow. But now they have to live further north. It's still the first snow in Guangming City, but then

It has been snowing for several times, and there is no grass in many pastures. They are starting to freeze to death. Many carnivores will also hibernate in winter, so it is impossible for the Snake Queen to continue attacking at this time. It is not that he has not

People with brains, if we attack at this time, many beasts preparing to hibernate will not hibernate. This will change the animals' work and rest time, and the reproduction in the coming year will also be a problem, so the Snake Queen brought her direct descendants

The army arrived at Zhongcheng, the largest city of the savage tribe. Some troops were left in the south city for defense. They also felt that Li Cong did not have the courage to come.

"This year's heavy snow came really early. I stayed here for a winter in the early years. At that time, it basically had to wait for a month before it snowed. But it's okay. We don't need to do anything. Those beasts will have to freeze."

A lot of people died." Meng Tian rubbed his hands and inspected the city wall with Li Cong. Now the city wall has basically been repaired, and Guangming City has returned to its original appearance as the largest stronghold. Now all the interior of Guangming City belongs to Li Cong.

There is absolutely no room for those who oppose Li Cong to exist.

"I don't know the situation here. I don't think they will attack this year. We can't kill them all. It's better for us to stand still for now." Li Cong also rubbed his hands and said, **, the temperature now is at least a few degrees below zero.

Ten degrees. In fact, what Li never said was that if he prepares the army to attack now, it is estimated that he can kill the Snake Queen this winter. In the past, Li Cong also wanted to kill them like this, but now it is different. Now Li Cong

He can never be killed by the Snake Queen so quickly. Even if the Snake Queen attacks next, Li Cong will have to let the court see the losses. If he fights too smoothly, they will feel that this is natural. When the time comes,

His own contribution is not that big anymore, now he should support them. Li Cong looked at the distance, these savages cannot survive this winter.

Meng Tian glanced at Li Cong. It's not that Meng Tian doesn't understand politics. It's just that Meng Tian didn't want to care about those things in the past. He just wanted to be a pure soldier. But after living for decades and being a farmer for so long, this

You have to understand to some extent that Li Cong is much stronger than himself before. If he had half the brain of Li Cong, he would not be like this. When the two of them were chatting, Prince An over there

Long Tan also came over. During this period, the friendship between Li Cong and Prince An began to grow. Li Cong discovered that Prince An was actually a capable person. Among the princes, he only had Prince Gong as his ally. Isn’t that rare?

That's right, Prince An is a very good candidate.

"It's such a cold day, if you two don't stay warm in your own room, why are you coming to the city wall?" Prince An said with a smile, this place is not a good place, and after standing there for a while, your whole body was frozen to the point of freezing.

Prince An has been serving Prince An with fine clothes and fine food since he was a child. No matter how useless his palace is, it is still a palace after all, right?

"The two of us are here to chat for a while, but why are you here too, Your Majesty? We are all rough people, and our bodies are pretty good. I don't think your body is very good." Meng Tian knew that the two of them were going to come up.

After talking, he went down because his level was not high enough. Li Cong smiled and looked at Prince An's somewhat thin body. Prince An was over forty years old. His body was considered very good among the royal family, but in this

However, his body is still a bit unsatisfactory.

"Haha, I stayed in the house for too long, so I went out for a walk. It's still very hot in the Imperial City at this time, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it. There's really a big gap between the Imperial Capital and us here.

." There is something in Prince An's words, and Li Cong can also hear it. What's going on? Could it be that something happened in the imperial capital? His own intelligence system is still somewhat imperfect, and the information Prince Gong received is not necessarily very accurate.

of.

"Has Lord An heard any news in the capital? It's such a cold day, let's not stay here anymore and go down to find a pot to eat. It's hot. I'll ask someone to bring some good wine over and we'll eat together."

While talking." Li Cong said with a smile. Indeed, this is not a place for conversation. If you open your mouth, the heavy snow will run into people's mouths. The snow on the bodies of thousands of soldiers on the city wall is already very thick.

However, Li Cong is strict in his military management. As long as there is no order from above, even if the snow suffocates you to death, you must stay here and cannot move a step. This is the death order from above.

The soldiers had to wait until meal time if they wanted to eat, but it was different when a prince and a general wanted to eat something hot. Four hot dishes, four cold dishes and two hot pots were immediately served, and there were also warm dishes.

A pound of wine was also served. Li Cong knew that Prince An didn't drink much, and he only drank two taels at most, so Li Cong just gave him a hint and poured it all for himself. The two of them

It wasn't the first time he drank, so Prince An didn't care about these things.

"I heard some news about His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is coming to our north. I don't know the specific time yet, but it has only been in the past two months. His Majesty is not very worried about this place.

"King Anjun felt much better after taking a sip of hot wine. She was a little dissatisfied when she said this. Since His Majesty has asked herself to be the supervisor, and he has sent the prince here, it shows that there are some

I don’t trust myself anymore. Maybe I’m too close to Li Cong?

The Crown Prince and Li Cong had been in contact with each other. No one else knew about Li Cong's destruction of the Crown Prince's black army. The Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness Princess Dachang were very good friends, but their relationship with Li Cong was average. Li Cong also

Her Royal Highness the Princess has a good relationship. It stands to reason that the relationship between the two of them should be good, but now it seems that it is impossible for them to be on good terms. The two of them don't meet many times, but when they see each other, they feel like

Li Cong could feel the discomfort.

"Whether the Crown Prince comes or not has nothing to do with us. He can do whatever he wants. Anyway, the future of the empire is his." Li Cong said nonchalantly. In fact, he was already paying attention to this matter in his heart. He just wanted to

I don’t understand what is going on. How can the crown prince of the country leave the imperial capital casually? Such a thing should not happen. Suddenly Li Cong thought of what happened in the Yanping County Prince’s Mansion. His Majesty has been dissatisfied with the prince for a long time.
