When they arrived outside the city, Li Chengqian had already notified all the troops to assemble outside the city. Now, except for the wounded soldiers, everyone is here.

Outside the city, Li Chengqian actually didn't waste much time.

The first is to announce the establishment of a new Army to conquer the West, with Qi Bi Heli as its commander-in-chief, and the entire Army to the West is also composed of Qi Bi Heli's personal soldiers. In fact, apart from changing the name, there is no difference.

The second is to reorganize all the soldiers except the personal army into the resentment army. The leader is Ibara Mine.

However, it was reorganized into the fourth battalion of the Resentment Army, and four additional battalion generals were added, namely Zhao Yan, Yi Yuan Zhen, Pulu Boqi and Wan Qi Pu.

Each of the four battalions added four centurions, dozens of commanders, and corps commanders. Li Chengqian had nothing to do with this. The generals of the fourth battalion reported it to Yi Yuanfeng, and they made their own arrangements.

Li Chengqian only made one request, which was to be promoted based on merit.

In short, today is a day of great joy for the resentful army!

After taking care of the matters at the military camp, Li Chengqian returned to the top of the city and looked at the prisoners who were busy.

Seeing these people, Li Chengqian had a headache.

Kill him? What a pity...

After all, in this day and age, manpower is productivity.

But keep it up, food is in short supply!

He wasn't worried about food before because there was no news from the Tiele tribe.

But now, he has to worry about food again.

Not to mention what will happen after the large follow-up troops of the Tiele Department arrive, as there are more than 10,000 mouths in the entire Riyue Mountain that need to eat every day, how long can his little food last?

Although Jingyang is an upper county, after the county experienced a famine, its population was less than 10,000, so the food transported from Jingyang City was ultimately limited.

This does not include the Tiele tribesmen who are rushing towards Riyue Mountain. When they arrive, the food gap will be even greater.

Of course, there is a saying that when sleepiness comes, give a pillow.

No, just when Li Chengqian was worried about this matter, a piece of news came from Taoyuan.

Wei Zheng is here!

And he was an envoy to the Ming Dynasty on behalf of the Tang Dynasty!

It was very formal, and Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard the news.

But after thinking about it, Li Chengqian understood that this was indeed Wei Zheng's good intention.

The good intentions of others cannot be let down, so Li Chengqian immediately sent Qibi Heli to lead the entire Zhengxi Army to meet Wei Zheng outside the Riyue Mountain.

He also wanted to go to the land of the Tang Dynasty to welcome Wei Zheng, but Chishuiyuan was still Murong Shun's territory, and he did not dare to take such a big risk.

The reason is not clear to outsiders.

As for why they didn't go through the glacier, let's not talk about whether the glacier has thawed or not. Even if it hasn't, Wei Zheng is officially on an official mission to the Ming Dynasty on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. How can he sneak across?

Do you still want Datang’s face?

Moreover, in order to go on an envoy trip, Datang had given Murong Shun a greeting in advance.

When Murong Shun received the letter from Tang Dynasty, his nose became crooked with anger.

Don't be such a bully!

You, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, established your own royal court on my territory. Do you recognize his legitimacy?

Have you asked me?

Of course, in the end, Murong Shun pinched his nose and admitted it.

Previously, the seven thousand army was defeated by Li Chengqian's two thousand soldiers and horses, which made him have to re-examine the situation. In the short term, he did not plan to take action against Li Chengqian.

Moreover, this defeat was not really a loss to him. At most, he only lost some men. Dayan Mangjiebo even captured people alive!

How to deal with Riyue Mountain now? Rescue Dayan Mangjiebo?

He only does this after eating too much!

From his standpoint, he wished that Dayan Mangjiebo would die soon!

"The court of the Ming Dynasty, Qibi Heli, would like to greet Duke Wei." Outside the Riyue Mountain, when Qibi Heli saw Wei Zheng's team, he said immediately.

In order to prevent him from admitting the wrong person, Li Chengqian also sent Liu San.

Hearing this, Wei Zheng got off the carriage and said, "Khan, you're welcome."

"The general is no longer a khan now, Duke Wei, please don't try to defeat the general." Qibi Heli said hurriedly.

Now that I have chosen to follow Li Chengqian, my stance must be corrected.

Wei Zheng was slightly stunned. Was he convinced by Li Chengqian so quickly?

Soon, everyone arrived at Riyue Mountain.

Outside the city gate, Li Chengqian also went far out of the city to greet him.

He actually wanted to go thirty miles out of the city to meet him, but he had to go thirty miles out of the city to reach the source of Chishui...

"Foreign Minister Wei Zheng is here to see His Highness." When he saw Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng hurriedly saluted and said, "Wei Zheng is ashamed to ask Your Highness to come out of the city to greet you."

Li Chengqian hurriedly supported Wei Zheng and said: "Wei Gong is joking..."

Wei Zheng smiled and said: "In the past, I also said that His Highness would return to the west in the future. I decided to go thirty miles west to welcome him. However, things are unpredictable. In just a few months, I actually came here first."

"That's how things are in the world. No one knows what will happen tomorrow." Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Please." With that, Li Chengqian extended his hand to invite Wei Zheng to enter the city. "The conditions in Riyue Mountain are simple and cannot be compared to Chang'an."

, I hope Duke Wei will forgive me."

Wei Zheng trimmed his beard and said: "Your Highness, please. Although we are in a barbaric land, the etiquette cannot be discarded."

Li Chengqian was not polite, and the two of them chatted all the way back to the valley.

Along the way, Wei Zheng was actually looking at every plant, tree, brick and tile in Riyue Mountain, and even everyone he met.

To his great surprise, everyone he met saluted and greeted Li Chengqian very cordially.

Logically speaking, this is normal, but Wei Zheng was keenly aware of the problem.

Of course, he didn't ask Li Chengqian these questions. He still had a lot of time here, so he had plenty of time to understand it himself.

Because the royal court of the Ming Dynasty does not have a palace or anything like that, Li Chengqian's tent became the royal tent of the royal court.

Such important events as receiving envoys should naturally be placed in the king's tent.

After returning to Li Chengqian's accounting room, almost all the heads of the Ming Dynasty royal court were present.

The table was also removed, leaving only some chairs lined up on both sides.

Li Chengqian sat in the first place, and Wei Zheng went through the entire envoy process in a meticulous manner, and also formally submitted a letter of credence handwritten by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to Li Chengqian.

Not to mention, Li Chengqian was stunned by this scene.

After taking the letter of credence and looking at it twice, he wanted to throw it away, but there were so many people present, so he had to endure and read Li Er's letter of credence.

Without him, the so-called credential is actually Li Eryi’s resentment, and the content can be imagined.

After the whole process is completed, it’s time for the banquet.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when only Qibi Heli and Wang Xuance were left in the tent who knew Li Chengqian's identity, Li Chengqian asked: "I don't know what the purpose of Wei Gong came from thousands of miles away this time."

.”

"Actually, I have done everything I should do and what I can do." Wei Zheng sighed.

Li Chengqian nodded, he understood this.

Facing it squarely is what Wei Zheng wants to do.

Li Chengqian understood it, Li Er also understood it, and most of the court officials understood it.

Don't underestimate these two words. To today's Ming Dynasty, these two words are worth a thousand pieces of gold!

Li Chengqian stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Duke Wei."

Wei Zheng was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's reaction.

Even though Li Chengqian is now considered a small overlord, his conduct has not changed much from before, and he does not appear to be arrogant after gaining power.

Of course, this was just the beginning, and he was about to see Li Chengqian's shamelessness and indecency.

"Old minister, I feel ashamed." Wei Zheng said, "However, your Majesty and the empress have other explanations for coming here this time."

Li Chengqian asked in confusion: "What's the explanation?"

"His Highness has now been crowned. It's time to consider marriage." Wei Zheng said, "His Majesty and the empress intend to grant a marriage to His Highness. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"

To be honest, he was afraid that Li Chengqian would take a foreign woman as his concubine!

If the eldest son has foreign blood, is this still a Han dynasty?

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was a little confused at first, but after a while he figured out the reason. He was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "The important matter of marriage is what my parents ordered the matchmaker to do. Naturally, I agree."

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. That's good. He thought to himself, he is indeed the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Just when he was about to speak, Li Chengqian said again, "But I am now alive."

As a king of the Ming Dynasty, where do you start talking about the marriage?"
