Finally, when Lao Cheng performed enough, he cursed and whipped.

Li Hao went up to him and said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, you are here!"

Old Cheng nodded reservedly: "You are very brave. You dare to take such a few people to Tuyuhun. It's great, it's the charm of my old Cheng robbing the emperor."

Li Hao: “…”.

Is this praising me or hurting me? This old man still has the face to mention the incident of robbing the emperor back then. If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Qin was so arrogant that he had broken up with you, he would have long since broken up with you.

Fu Yun seized the opportunity and came to Lao Cheng to salute: "The criminal Fu Yun, see General Cheng."

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Fu Yun and said regretfully: "I didn't expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, will also be in front of me. In the future, I, Cheng, will lose another opponent."

"Uh..." Fu Yun glanced at Li Hao awkwardly, as if asking how to answer this.

Li Hao turned his head aside, Cheng Yaojin is the man. If you give him three points of color, he can open a dyeing shop. The best way is to ignore him, so I won’t get involved in this matter.

So Fu Yun could only smile embarrassedly and lowered his posture and said, "General Cheng has said too much, how dare Fu Yun be an enemy of the General?"

How can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves?

Li Hao dared to be arrogant in Tuyuhun because he had strong strength behind him. Fu Yun did not have such strength, so he naturally did not dare to be bullied in front of Lao Cheng, otherwise he would not know how to die.

Fu Shun even stood behind his father with a bow and didn't even dare to fart. He was a smart person and knew how to read the dishes.

Although Lao Cheng seemed to be easier to talk to than Li Hao, he had a cold indifference to foreign races in his bones. He laughed on the surface, but there was no smile in his eyes. His cold eyes were full of indifference to life.

What's more, soldiers are brave. At this time, the old Cheng army was in control, and the entire Right Wu Guard was stationed there. The deterrence power was definitely not comparable to that of more than 500 people around Li Hao.

Needless to say, the process of surrender was not detailed. Tuyuhun and his group immediately became closely monitored by others when they entered the army with Lao Cheng. Although they had no worries about food and drink every day, they had no freedom again.

After Li Hao settled down Tuyuhun Fuyun and his party, he followed Lao Cheng to the Central Army tent.

Before he could speak, he was kicked in the butt, and an angry voice came from behind him: "Bastard, you have eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard. You dare to bring people in such a dangerous place in Tuyuhun. You are not afraid that Fu Yun will be angry and will chop you all and feed them to the dog."

Li Hao was sprayed with saliva all over his head and tried to tilt his head back: "Uncle Cheng, aren't we okay?"

"It's okay?! If something really happens, can it be too late?" From Li Hao to Li Zhen, Xi Jun finished buying, Cheng Yaojin pointed with his fingers: "Wait, wait, wait until I go back to Chang'an to see how I deal with you."

Although Old Cheng was so careless just now, when he led his troops through Liangzhou and Yang Rengong told him in person that Li Hao and a few boys had gone to Tuyuhun, the General of the Right Martial Guard was really shocked.

After asking the cause and effect of the matter, Lao Cheng was even more angry and cursed.

Yes, Fu Yun was really nothing in front of the Tang Dynasty, and trying to destroy him was like playing.

But Fu Yun is the leader of a country at least, and no matter how badly he is, he still has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. You guys, with five or six hundred people, dare to go to their territory and shout for their heads. Isn’t this enough life?

However, after all, these guys came back intact, without missing arms and legs, and Fu Yun and his son were also brought back. They seemed to be very obedient. Old Cheng's heart, which had been in his throat for dozens of days, finally returned to his original position.

But whenever I think of the days when I have been worried for dozens of days, Lao Cheng feels uncomfortable and wants to extricate this anger.

So, several young people were in trouble. Cheng Yaojin pointed at the nose and scolded him for half an hour before he could get rid of the disaster. He was driven out in a dusty state, while Li Hao was kept.

"Tell me, what happened this time."

Cheng Yaojin was still easy to talk to, Li Hao leaned over with a saliva, rubbed his back and shoulders and said with great legs: "Uncle Cheng, this matter is indeed the fault of my nephew, and he shouldn't have taken the risk with him."

"Get out, I'm not talking about this." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand impatiently: "Since Chu Mo has joined the army, life and death are based on fate, and even if he really dies in battle, I, Cheng, will not blame anyone."

"Yes, yes, Uncle Cheng is generous."

I believe you, a hammer. Li Hao, who was standing behind Lao Cheng, rolled his eyes and changed the topic: "Actually, I had some arrangements before going to Tuyuhun this time. Tubo and the Western Regions prepared tens of thousands of coalition forces. Tuyuhun is now in chaos, and wars are everywhere in the country. Fu Yun took the initiative to surrender because of this."

"Hmm?! You guy's way is very wild." Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment and laughed: "Tubo and the Western Regions can be connected, so they can stand up for you. This is really a big skill."

“Where do it.”

"Okay, let's not talk about this. As long as you can get the case in the future, I'm too lazy to care about you." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and continued, "Your Majesty has sent you a letter and asked you to go back to Beijing immediately. You can clean up."

"Ah? Let me go back to Beijing immediately? What happened?" Li Hao was shocked. The first thing he thought of was that he would not touch Li Er's bottom line when he contacted Tubo and the countries in the Western Regions.

A terrible statement.

Lao Cheng shook his head: "I don't know, I heard that it was a severe drought during this period. I guess it was because of Your Majesty who planned to transfer you kid back and think of a solution."

So that's the case, Li Hao's nervous mood slightly relaxed.

Fortunately, as long as it is not beheading.

But then again, what can I do if I do something like a severe drought? I can't just take me to fill the river!

The things that have been troubled this time are a bit big. Not only will the Tubo and the Western Regions attack Tuyuhun together, at least the territory they occupied will not be vomited out, and the things they stolen will not be handed over again.

In some ways, Li Hao's behavior was equivalent to the enemy. The Tang Dynasty did not get any benefits, but it strengthened the surrounding countries.

No matter how much I think about it, I still have to take the path I should take.

After chatting with Lao Cheng for a long time, Li Hao called Su Lie early the next morning and threw all the follow-up matters of Tuyuhun to him, and asked him to watch and deal with them.

There is only one central idea. You can take advantage of it, but you can't eat too ugly. No one can move Tuyuhun's territory, so you can give up what you have taken.

In addition, as long as the price is appropriate, the Tang Dynasty could be responsible for purchasing things that were not needed by Tubo and the Western Regions, including cattle, horses and sheep, and even slaves, but forgot about gold and silver, and for twenty taels of silver to exchange for a silver plate, it was purely nothing to find trouble.

This is already very good. After all, there is no use for the extra cows and horses to the Western Regions and Tubo, so it is worth snatching them to exchange for some essential products.

The great monk Xuanzang did not follow Li Hao, but followed the large group of people back to Liangzhou and chose to continue his journey westward.

Li Hao gave him a horse and returned the pass certificate to him. As for money and other things, Li Hao didn't give him a penny.

After all, wealth is touching, and Li Hao doesn't want to harm the monk who set out on the road alone.

After everything was arranged, on the morning of the third day after returning to Liangzhou, Li Hao embarked on the return journey and took Xi Junmai and Tiezhu two horsemen to face Chaoyang all the way east.

Because of the simplicity of light cars, Li Hao and his team were very fast, and in just a few days they had already passed through Lanzhou and entered Weizhou.

At this time, the Central Plains had been drought for several months, and the roadside was full of barren fields. Even if some grain fields were occasionally sown, the crops under the scorching sun were wilted and listless.

The people in the Central Plains are all good. Even in the face of such a severe drought, they still work endlessly, either digging wells or carrying loads to carry water in the ditches that have not yet dried up.

But for fields that have been dry, the water collected is like a drop in the bucket and cannot solve practical problems at all.

Two buckets of water, about a hundred pounds, were poured into the ground and seeped into the ground almost in the blink of an eye. When the next load of water was carried back, the ground that had just been watered turned dry again.

When passing by a weedy beach by the Wei River, Li Hao's attention was attracted by a group of people, and he was surrounded by horse reins: "Wow!"

"What's wrong, General." Xi Junmai and others were not careful, rushed out of the distance and turned around and asked.

"Go over there and take a look." Pointing at the crowd in the distance, Li Hao took the lead and got off the road first.

Xi Junmai and others did not dare to neglect and quickly followed.

Soon, Li Hao and his party, together with a hundred guards, rushed to the vicinity of the group, but they saw that the leader was wearing the county magistrate's uniform, and behind them were officials from the county government office and more than a dozen gentry.

These people were alarmed by the sound of horse hooves, and stopped what they were doing and turned around. After seeing Li Hao's dress, the county magistrate immediately came up and paid a visit to him: "The magistrate of Longxi County Duanmu Jianzhang has met Prince Wei."

"Oh? Do you recognize me?" Li Hao asked in surprise.

Duanmu Jianzhang shook his head: "Although the lower officials do not recognize the prince, the only one in the Tang Dynasty who can be from a third-rank high-ranking official at less than twenty years old, so the lower officials dared to guess that it should be the crown prince in front of me."

"Haha, you are a smart person." Li Hao laughed and pointed to the pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and other things placed by the river beach and said, "What are you doing?"

"Sacrifice, sacrifice to the river god." Duanmu Jianzhang looked back with a little embarrassedly and looked at the half-standed tributes, and said to Li Hao: "The drought has been so great these days. If this continues, I am afraid that there will be no way out this year. The officials have no choice but to come up with such an idea."

Li Hao also knew that Duanmu Jianzhang should have been forced to do nothing, so he thought of such an unreliable idea. He got off immediately and circled around the pigs and sheep: "Are you sure this method is useful?"

Duanmu Jianzhang sighed: "Xiaoguan...Xiaoguan doesn't know."

Tiezhu had been hungry and knew the feeling of hunger. He came to Li Hao and said in a muffled voice: "Young Master, why don't you help them? If there is no harvest this year, I don't know how many people will die."

"Yes, General, I know you have many ways, why don't you think of a way?" Xi Junmai also came up with him. They were all suffering people and could not see such a scene.

The officials and officials from all over the county government and the gentry around were also staring at Li Hao, hoping that he could nod.

The county magistrate just said that this is Prince Wei, and as long as he is willing to help, how much food can't be bought?

And with food, we naturally don’t have to worry about drought. At worst, we won’t plant the land and plant it again next year.

Li Hao's eyes swept over everyone and finally fell on Duanmu Jianzhang: "Duanmu Mansion, I have the emperor's will, and I must return to Beijing immediately, and time will not be delayed."

"So..." The hope that had just risen was shattered in a blink of an eye, Duanmu Jianzhang sighed disappointed: "Since that's the case... the lower official respectfully gave the crown prince."

The people around them also showed signs of disappointment, and some people even let out soft sobs.

Tiezhu and Xi Junmai also showed hesitation and annoyance at this time. Although these two maids were silly, they were not stupid and knew that they were just forced to do something.

After all, this drought is a problem that even His Majesty the Emperor cannot solve. No matter how powerful his young master is, he is not a god. How could he solve the drought problem in an instant?

Li Hao smacked his lips, and the way everyone was lost made him feel a little amused. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Duanmufu, I just said I was in a hurry to leave, and I didn't say I wouldn't help you."

"Yes, the lower magistrate knows that the prince's affairs are urgent, so..." Duanmu Jianzhang realized what Li Hao was saying and raised his head suddenly: "Shi, Prince, you promise to help us?"

"Yes, I agreed, but you'd better find a few carpenters as soon as possible, otherwise if I can solve your troubles, you will be the end of your career."

"No, no need, prince, I, I am a carpenter."

"I'm also a carpenter."

"Criminal, whoever in the countryside can't order carpenter work? Just give me instructions on what you need. We will do it with all our strength."

As soon as Li Hao said, he immediately responded to all parties. All the people who were originally extremely disappointed rushed up. Tiezhu and Xi Junmai and other guards hurriedly protected Li Hao, fearing that something would happen to him.

Li Hao smiled slightly and pushed the two of them away. They were both people of the Tang Dynasty, and he had never harmed them, so he was not worried about what anyone would do to him.

At this time, the people around realized that their behavior was a bit too much, and they hurriedly flashed to the side and gave up a large area of ​​open space around Li Hao.

Li Hao was not vague and walked a few steps to the table where the offerings were originally planned. He raised his legs and stepped up, bowed to the people who were looking up from a high place: "My fellow villagers, Li passed by the precious land, it is rare that you can respect me. Today, I will make a decision and arrange some work for you to solve the problem of water shortage in Longxi County. At the same time, I hope that after solving the problem of the precious land, you can spread the solution so that more people in Weizhou can no longer worry about water shortage."

"We will keep in mind the words of the prince."
