Chapter 106 The Prince's Plan

The crescent sect is still in dispersed and always pesters Chen Wanrong, which makes Chen Wanrong very troubled. Can he not be excited to get this news? Brother Shuhan smiled and said, "Okay! Brother Chen, you go to see the prince now!"

Chen Wanrong was stunned and said, "Brother Shu, how can you not go?"

"It's enough for Brother Chen. I'll stay here, training artillery is important." Ge Shuhan replied with a smile: "Isn't it better for us to act separately?"

That's the case, Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Brother Geshu is right. Then there will be Brother Lao Geshu."

"You're welcome!" Ge Shuhan said humbly.

Chen Wanrong called Wang Shaohua and told the matter about it. Wang Shaohua was also particularly excited: "This Crescent Sect is a headache. Yes, go see the prince! For such a big thing, you must have the approval of the prince before you can take action."

Wang Shaohua led the guards and protected Chen Wanrong, left the school ground and headed straight to the East Palace.

In the past half a month, Chen Wanrong was devoted to the training of troops. It was the first time that the East Palace came. The East Palace was still the same. Chen Wanrong said he wanted to see the prince, and the soldiers immediately reported it in. After a while, the soldiers turned around and asked Chen Wanrong and Wang Shaohua to go in.

The two walked side by side, not far away, but Chen Zairong came up and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you free to come to the East Palace?"

"I have something important to see the prince immediately." Chen Wanrong didn't say much to Chen Zairong.

Chen Zairong frowned and said, "Brother, you have to wait for a while. The prince is dealing with urgent matters."

"How anxious? The fight started in front of you?" Chen Wanrong asked hurriedly.

Chen Zairong shook his head: "That's not. Brother, you know too. The prince has many urgent tasks, so just wait."

Chen Wanrong thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, go and tell the prince that there is news about the Xinyue Sect. If this matter is not as urgent as the prince's urgent task, I will wait. If this matter is urgent enough, I think the prince will definitely be in a hurry to see me."

This is a good way, Chen Zairong said without objection: "Brother, then you wait a moment, I'll go see the prince now." He ran to report.

The two of them waited in front of the house for a while, but they saw Gao Lishi quickly greeting him and laughed: "Mr. Chen, Lord Wang, the prince is welcome."

It seems that the matter of the Crescent School is more important than the current urgent task of the prince. Chen Wanrong smiled, thanked him, and followed Gao Lishi into the house. Li Longji sat behind the desk, with a official document of a ruler on his desk, with a slightly haggard face and a little bloody eyes. He probably was busy with official business and had not had a rest for a long time.

"I have seen the prince!" Chen Wanrong and Wang Shaohua saluted together.

Li Longji stood up and stretched his body, feeling very comfortable: "Sit down! Give them some tea."

Gao Lishi responded, settled down, stepped out on his own, and closed the door. Li Longji shook his neck and smiled and said, "Chen Wanrong, you came just right. I didn't take a break all night and was a little tired. I just took advantage of this skill to relax."

It is said that the emperor has great power, and he needs to be windy and rainy, but only those who have been emperors know how hard it is. Li Longji is extremely energetic and looks tired. You can imagine how much pressure is. This is still the state-controller. What if he becomes emperor?

"Please take care of the prince!" Chen Wanrong hurriedly gave a polite statement.

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "I thought you came to me for artillery matters. From my understanding, you trained artillerymen in addition to the twists and turns on the first day, but it was smooth. Moreover, artillery was built quite smoothly, and the saltpeter in Mianzhou has arrived. It can be said that everything you want has arrived. Therefore, I don't think it's too urgent, but I didn't expect it to be a matter of the Crescent Sect. This is an important matter. I decided to change my original intention and see you first. Tell me, and I got some amazing news."

He is very talented and can tell that it must be amazing news once he guesses, otherwise Chen Wanrong would not have come to see him in a hurry.

"The artillery is well-made and the artillery is well trained. These are the grace of the emperor and the prince. I am very grateful!" Chen Wanrong first gave a thank you, and then he got to the point: "Crown Prince, Ge Shuhan received the news that the leader of the Crescent Sect has arrived in Chang'an."

Li Longji browed, his eyes shone brightly, staring at Chen Wanrong and asked, "Is this news reliable?"

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "I have asked Geshuhan. Geshuhan is very sure, the news is absolutely reliable." This is not because Chen Wanrong is afraid of taking responsibility, but because he does not want to steal Geshuhan's credit.

Li Longji rubbed his hands and said, "This is shocking news! The Crescent Sect is mysterious and I have a headache. Their heads arrived in Chang'an. This is a great thing! Is it clear who their heads are? Where do they live?"

Chen Wanrong shook his head and said, "Prince, this person does not show his true face. He is extremely secretive and does not know his identity. As for where he lives, it is even more difficult to be sure, because he often does not live in the same place twice and often changes places."

Although this method is a bit troublesome, it is also a clever way to keep it confidential.

Li Longji did not speak, but asked Chen Wanrong and said, "Tell me what you think."

Chen Wanrong hurriedly said, "Crown Prince, how can I have any ideas?"

"Stop coming! You have received such important news. If you don't have any ideas, can you come to see me? Don't think I'm so easy to deceive." Li Longji walked around for a while, and his body became much more active, so he sat down again.

Chen Wanrong had some thoughts, but Chen Wanrong wanted to hear Li Longji's opinion before talking about it. Now he had to say it, so he had to tell him: "Crown Prince, I'm a little calculating, I don't know if it will be successful or not."

"Whether it is successful or not, you have to talk about it before you see it." Li Longji picked up the tea cup and started drinking tea.

Chen Wanrong analyzed: "Crown Prince, I think this is our opportunity. If we handle it well, we can first know the identity of the leader of the Crescent Moon Sect, and second, we may be able to catch all the Crescent Moon Sect in one place."

"It is different from the rules and conceals it, and it must be more specific." Li Longji did not express his opinion.

Chen Wanrong responded and began to analyze in detail: "Since the head of the Crescent Sect is in Chang'an, as long as you check the Annan land, whoever is not in Annan will be the head. Of course, there may be many people not in Annan, which makes it impossible for us to determine the specific people, and at least it has narrowed the scope a lot, which is worth a try."

"It's so confusing!" Wang Shaohua agreed first.

Li Longji shook his head: "Your idea is good, and it may be difficult to implement. If I were to do so, I would be wary of the court's investigation and there would be proper arrangements. Find a substitute or make some tricks. It would be difficult for the court to find useful information if it was investigated."

The Crescent Moon Sect acts in a mysterious way, and its leader is not easy to deal with. All possibilities will be thought of, and such arrangements are reasonable. However, Chen Wanrong had another idea and said, "What the prince said is extremely true. I think that the Crescent Moon Sect has great power and its leader must be extraordinary. He will not be alone in Chang'an, but he should have brought many people with him. If he finds his followers and follows the clues, he may have unexpected gains."

Li Longji nodded and said, "This is reasonable. He cannot come to Chang'an alone, so he must bring some people. Once there are too many followers, it is easy to get into trouble. I don't believe that everything can cover up its conduct? Therefore, this is still necessary."

"The Prince Shengming!" Chen Wanrong had to accept Li Longji's extraordinary talent and continued: "When the leader of the Crescent Sect came to Chang'an, I was wondering, what could he come in person? Can you find a way to seduce him? Even if you can't seduce him, you can capture one or two big figures, that would be much easier."

Li Longji did not comment, supported his forehead with his hands and fell into deep thought. Chen Wanrong quickly stopped and let Li Longji think. After a while of old age, Li Longji raised his head and said, "Do you want to fish again? If you want to fish, you have bait. Do you have bait?"

Chen Wanrong said honestly: "Crown Prince, I have thought about it, but I just don't know what can make the head of the Crescent Sect excited."

Li Longji stood up and laughed: "This bait is actually ready-made. If I was not mistaken, it would be two different. It is the same artillery. If you train artillery soldiers, you have to fire artillery every day, just like thunder. This matter has been spread all over the world. If this person's idea of ​​not firing artillery, he would not deserve to be the leader."

If the Crescent Sect wants to rebel, the first thing that the first thing that the Crescent Sect has to do after the uprising is to train an army that can conquer and fight. Only by defeating the Tang army's attacks again and again can Annan be able to go independently. If he gets artillery, the combat effectiveness of its army will be greatly improved, and the Crescent Sect's artillery must be willing to get it.

Li Longji shook his head and said, "The artillery is very dynamic. If you want to keep it secret, you cannot train in the Longwu Army's school ground. The reason why I didn't let you go to the mountains to train is to let these people with other intentions know."

With a long-term vision, Chen Wanrong and Wang Shaohua said together: "The prince is wise!"

After changing the subject, Li Longji continued to analyze: "You can see the artillery in the hands of the Longwu Army. Even if the Crescent Sect wants to get it out, it will be too difficult, it's just thinking about it. If you can't get it out, then what's the best way? I think you want it!"

"Are you going to have a plan?" Chen Wanrong pointed at his nose involuntarily with his right hand, looking surprised.

Li Longji smiled and said, "It's not entirely true that you want to make your own ideas. In addition to you, there are people who can also make artillery, that is, the good craftsmen of the military weapon supervisor. If you and them fall into the hands of the Crescent Sect, the consequences will be unimaginable."

It is of course a good thing to eat pears. However, if there are pear trees, there are many pears to eat.

It is good to get the cannons out of the Longwu Army, but it is better not to control the good craftsman in his hands. This may definitely happen. Chen Wanrong thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "Crown Prince, I have already made bait, so it's okay to do it again."

"Are you addicted to making bait?" Li Longji teased and changed the subject: "If you want the fish to bite the hook, you cannot wait. You must find a way to make the fish have to bite the hook."

The idea is good, just how to realize it? Chen Wanrong muttered in his heart and said, "Please make it clear!"

Li Longji frowned: "Chen Wanrong, how are your artillery training? Can you go to the battlefield?"

Whether the artillery training is good or not, what does it have to do with the Crescent Sect? Chen Wanrong was very puzzled and had to answer: "Return to the prince, after half a month of training, I think I have already had some fire, so there should be no problem going to the battlefield."

"That's good!" Li Longji was very happy and clapped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, you will demonstrate it to your father in three days. I want to tell you one thing, you have to be prepared and not make any mistakes. At that time, the father will lead all civil and military officials to watch. If there is any mistake, I don't need to say more about the consequences, right?"

Ruizong led all the ministers to come with great enthusiasm. If something goes wrong, wouldn’t it be a pity for him? The consequences are something that everyone can think of.

Of course, Chen Wanrong didn't care about this, but frowned and hurriedly said, "Crown Prince, this is not good, right? The artillery must be kept confidential. If it is shown to the ministers, why don't you tell me?"

Li Longji smiled and said, "I just want them to tell you. In three days, you will just show it. You don't have to worry about other things. During these three days, I also want my father to issue an order to explain the whole story."

Chen Wanrong was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, suddenly realized, and praised him with high fives: "The prince is brilliant! The prince is brilliant!"

"Respond quickly enough!" Li Longji nodded and praised, glanced at Wang Shaohua, who was still a little confused, and smiled and said, "Wang Shaohua, you haven't figured it out yet?"

Wang Shaohua hurriedly said, "I am ignorant, please ask the prince to show me."

Li Longji ignored him and said to Chen Wanrong: "Ge Shuhan was you who brought it to the army?"

Chen Wanrong hurriedly replied: "Yes. The prince knows that I am not familiar with military affairs and cannot train the army, so I have to ask him to help. I am taking the initiative without authorization and ask the prince to forgive me."

"This brother Shuhan is really amazing!" Li Longji said sarcastically: "The Longwu Army, the elite of the Tang Dynasty, is not worth a penny in his eyes. There are only a hundred people who can meet his requirements. They are such a capable person!"

The Longwu Army was established during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang and gradually expanded. It was not until Li Longji supervised the country that he truly became a vital force. It can be said that the Longwu Army was Li Longji's masterpiece, and it was his masterpiece. Only about one hundred people met the requirements, which was too disrespectful to him.

When he was convening the troops, Chen Wanrong didn't think about this. When he heard this, he couldn't help but scream in secret and said, "Crown Prince, these are all the ideas of the ministers, and they have nothing to do with others."

Li Longji interrupted Chen Wanrong: "Do you think you are brave and powerful enough to take everything to yourself? It seems that others are like you, so scrupulous. Do you think I am just a little bit of belly and have that little face to punish Brother Shuhan? Tell you, Brother Shuhan is good! There is a way to pick soldiers and train soldiers, it is a good material!"

Although he was scolding and scolding, Chen Wanrong was happy in his ears. Ge Shuhan's military talent was naturally speechless, but he just didn't have the chance to display it. Li Longji is paying attention to Ge Shuhan now, so it's only time for Ge Shuhan to rise to the top.

Putting aside the friendship between Chen Wanrong and Ge Shuhan, it is Chen Wanrong's duty to let talented people like Ge Shuhan contribute to the court, and Chen Wanrong would not be happy.

"Ge Shuhan, a knight who likes Ren Xia to be angry. I didn't expect that he was so talented. It's rare! If you can pull him into the army, you have made a contribution. Go back and tell Ge Shuhan that you want him to train well!" Li Longji saw him off.

Although there is no explicit reuse, these words have already revealed Geshuhan's bright future. Chen Wanrong hurriedly said: "Thank you, Prince, I will tell you to Geshuhan! Prince, I will leave!"

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Go!"

Chen Wanrong and Wang Shaohua responded and bowed and said goodbye. After leaving the Eastern Palace, Wang Shaohua pulled the reins and came to Chen Wanrong's side, and asked softly: "Brother Chen, we are here for the affairs of the Crescent Sect. This matter is only halfway through, why don't you say it?"

After looking around, Chen Wanrong lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wang, the prince has made a brilliant plan! Think about it, why did the prince ask me to give a demonstration in three days? Moreover, the emperor also has to bring the ministers to come and explain the whole story early. What are the consequences of doing this?"

"Of course, the power of the cannon is well known. What I can't understand is, what does the prince's actions have to do with the Crescent Sect?" Wang Shaohua touched his forehead, looking confused.

Chen Wanrong analyzed it for him: "Brother Wang, think that as soon as this matter is spread, the power of the cannon is so powerful, what will happen to the Crescent Moon Sect? Can they not rush to start? Don't say that the Crescent Moon Sect is anxious, which side is not rushing? If they are anxious, they will gather together, either attacking the cannons or attacking me and a group of good workers."

Wang Shaohua's eyes widened: "The prince's plan is really clever! In this way, even if the Crescent Sect doesn't want to do it, it will have to do it. This is what the prince said, and he must force the fish to bite and fish!"

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "That's right!"

Wang Shaohua frowned and said, "When they jump out, the court will take action and beat them all in one go. This is a good idea, but it is not good for Brother Chen and a group of good craftsmen. The prince's move is like forcing the Crescent Sect to take action, and they will pay no matter how much."

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Yes, we are in danger. But if we don't enter the tiger's den, how can we get a tiger's son? I think as long as we strengthen our protection, nothing will happen."

Wang Shaohua was still worried and said, "That's right. But, you think, if the Crescent Moon Sect can be so secretly, will they not have any real ability? They will definitely see through this. Although the prince is smart, even if they see through it, they still have to start. However, there are many ways to start, and the Crescent Moon Sect has many tricks in the Ghost Domain. If you want to defend against it, it will be difficult."

"After you said this, I'm looking forward to it! I'm looking forward to the Crescent Moon Sect taking action quickly and seeing their methods!" Chen Wanrong said heroically.

Wang Shaohua shook his head, unable to understand: "Brother Chen, you are in a good mood and so heroic. This matter is difficult to prevent."

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "It's not difficult, what's the use of having a man of our generation?" At this moment, Chen Wanrong really wanted to know the methods of the Crescent Sect earlier.

Back at the school ground, Geshuhan and Wang Zhongsi came up. Chen Wanrong pulled the two into the house and said that. Geshuhan high-five and praised: "The prince's plan is so clever! I have been thinking about how to lure the head of the Crescent Sect. The prince is not tempting, but forcing him. Even if he knows, he will come out! Gao Ming, Gao Ming!"

Wang Zhongsi leaned his head and asked, "Since people want to know the power of artillery, they have to choose a good place. The school ground is definitely not suitable."

Chen Wanrong was interested in comparing him and asked, "Wang Zhongsi, then what place do you think is the right place?"

Wang Zhongsi pondered for a moment, took a pair of Chang'an maps, and pointed his fingers at one place: "It's here."
