The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Yuan knew that he was old and he might not be able to manage future affairs for long. While he could still manage, he thought of some ways out for this nephew whom he had found himself. This nephew was still young and had a lot of time in the future. As long as he managed these rewards smoothly, it would not only benefit him, but also benefit the people of Jingyang County. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

Before recognizing his relatives, Li Yuan had already discovered Li Fu's talent in managing the farm and managing the land on the farm, so he was relieved to give him so much land and let him be enfeoffed in Jingyang County, an important place in the capital.

And the future king cannot ignore being enfeoffed in Jingyang County.

After all, once the Turks went south to threaten Chang'an, Jingyang County was a must-pass place. If the future king did not care, there would be a saying.

But Li Yuan did not expect that the future king he decided would agree to the idea of ​​moving the capital.

He also did not expect that the future king he decided would not count for the time being and would be changed.

But who the future king is does not prevent Li Fu from enfeoffing Jingyang County, an important place in the capital, under Li Yuan's nose. If he wants to meet, he just needs to send someone to pass a message.

"General Su doesn't have to worry about other problems except leading the troops." Li Fu's expression became serious: "General Su, as the general of this team, needs to lead the troops according to my requirements, that's all."

A mature and excellent general can indeed save a lot of trouble, but it does not mean that all problems are solved.

Such a general has too many personal thoughts, just like now, as Li Fu's deputy, Su Dingfang, after hearing Li Fu's decision, the first thing he considered was not how to discuss and implement this decision, but questioning it.

In this case, Li Fu will have to warn Su Dingfang.

At present, it is just a verbal warning. If Su Dingfang still makes this mistake in the future, even if the court decides his future, according to his performance in Zhuangzi, his future will not be too smooth.

There are many talents in the Tang Dynasty now. Su Dingfang is not just a timely help, but the icing on the cake.

If he is really given ten or twenty years to settle down, it is not difficult at all, and it is not unfair.

After listening to Li Fu's words, Su Dingfang seemed to realize something, lowered his head, and bowed his hands in response.

"General Su, when we were in Chang'an City before, because General Cheng was there, I think that maybe there are some things that you are embarrassed to say in front of General Cheng. Now here, there are only you and me, so I will give General Su another chance. How to choose is entirely up to General Su. This king will never force anyone."

Li Fu's expression is serious and solemn, which Su Dingfang has never seen before.

Su Dingfang met Li Fu several times when he was in Chang'an City. Whether it was during festivals or when Li Fu got married, Su Dingfang was always invited to banquets.

Therefore, Su Dingfang came to a conclusion that King Jingyang was a good man with a good temper.

But even good people can be a bit angry when they are serious.

Su Dingfang's heart skipped a beat, and he also heard the implication of Li Fu's words.

Be more decent and say that you are given a chance to make a new choice.

To put it bluntly.

If you don't listen, then it will be your turn.

The choice is always made by both sides.

Su Dingfang has been in his hometown for a long time. This time the court summoned him to Chang'an. Cheng Yaojin, as the person in charge of this matter, also gave Su Dingfang enough face.

Su Dingfang is good at managing the army and has the ability to lead troops to fight. If the court does not use him, will he really stay in his hometown for the rest of his life?

It is said that he returned to his hometown to cultivate himself.

To put it bluntly, returning to his hometown after the defeat was, first, because he was afraid of the court's reckoning, and second, because he could not see the situation of the Tang court during the Wude period clearly and did not dare to participate in it.

Third, although he is not a figure like Zhuge Wuhou, it is different to have the imperial court send an order or send someone to invite him. It is related to reputation and how to gain a foothold in the court in the future.

And Su Dingfang waited for Cheng Yaojin.

After successfully arriving in Chang'an City, such a thing happened, and he came to the manor in Jingyang County.

It is impossible to say that he is not frustrated.

But after Su Dingfang inquired and investigated from many sources, he also knew that as long as he followed the King of Jingyang, it would be an extra opportunity for His Majesty to see him.

Therefore, today in the manor of Jingyang County, in the military camp, Su Dingfang formally discussed with Li Fu about leading troops, and he was eager to show himself.

But he forgot one thing.

Wanting to show his talents cannot be achieved by denying the Lord's future.

He violated a taboo.

Li Fu's eyes have been on Su Dingfang.

"General Su, have you thought about it?" Li Fu asked.

SuDingfang bowed to Li Fu.

"I am willing to listen to your orders, Your Highness."

A smile flashed in Li Fu's eyes.

"Since it has been chosen, I hope that General Su will do his best during the next period of time in Zhuangzi." Li Fu said: "One thousand people may not be a big deal for General Su. In the past, General Su led more soldiers to fight and had rich experience, but those are all in the past, whether for you or for me.

People always have to focus on the present and do things down to earth.

If you indulge in the past, how can you move forward?

If you don't move forward, how can I expect these thousand people to defend Zhuangzi?

General Su, are you right?"

"Your Highness is right, I will learn from you." Su Dingfang bowed his head and said with a bow.

It doesn't matter whether Su Dingfang is convinced or not.

The important thing is to be obedient.

If you don't obey, no matter how awesome you are, you will be replaced.

These 1,000 people came to the farm to help, not to be a burden for the disobedient.

Especially the generals who manage these 1,000 people, if they don't obey, do you still expect him to lead these people to settle the matter in the farm?

Li Fu attaches great importance to the future development of Jingyang County. Let alone Su Dingfang, even if Li Shimin comes, Li Fu will have to stand here and nod his head for the things decided by Li Fu!

Today's beating of Su Dingfang is still successful. No matter how to train these 1,000 people, all the money and food supply will be allocated by the Jingyang Palace.

Everyone has to recognize who is the father.

Including Su Dingfang.

You can be capable, arrogant, and have your own ideas, but I can also use you.

People who don't recognize their own status and position have a bumpy future, and that's what he deserves.

Li Fu thinks that he can be a good person, but he has to be willing to do so.

"General Su, please accompany me for a walk in the camp. I also want to see what my thousand subordinates look like." Li Fu said expressionlessly.
