Chapter 265: Testing the Waters
Li Jiazhi is planning to take Hedong into his pocket, but Hedong seems to be a borderless land, but in fact, this place has always been in the hands of Yang Yan. Li Jiazhi can deal with Shangshi Bi Khan, but he can deal with Yang Yan...... His heat is far from perfect. Hedong is destined to be a difficult bone to gnaw!
Situ Qiming was in a hurry to return to Chang'an and couldn't wait for a moment, Li Jia remembered his brother's entrustment, and after breaking through the Yanmen Pass, he searched for peace of mind in the city. In the end, in the cellar in the backyard of the government, I found the worry-free that was hidden by Shibi.
Since Situ Qiming wants to go back to Chang'an, let him take his aunt back by the way, and the two can explain each other along the way.
Situ Qiming was forced to stay overnight by Li Jia, and early the next morning he led a thousand cavalry from Guannei Road to Chang'an at a gallop. Worry-free, dressed in men's clothes, mixed in the cavalry, and hurried with Situ Qiming.
Originally, she had no shame to see her mother's family again, but Li Jiazhi told her that her brother had found clues about her daughter and had to confirm with her face to face. Worry-free's only wish in this life is to see her daughter again, but she also knows that there is a vast sea of people, she and the child have been separated for 20 years, life and death are unknown, and the chance of goodbye is really slim. At the beginning, she used this to negotiate terms with Du Jishi, but in fact, she didn't have much hope, it was just an excuse to shirk her unwillingness to go south with him to conquer the Central Plains. Now Li Jiazhi told her that she still had the opportunity to meet her child, which was like planting a seed in her heart, and hope would continue to sprout and grow in her heart. Worry-free, like Situ Qiming, I can't wait to fly over Guanshan and return to Chang'an in an instant!
Therefore, she refused the car that Li Jiazhi prepared for her, and chose a faster and lighter horse, she was like a warrior who was not afraid of wind and rain, just to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible to seize that glimmer of hope!
Sending away Situ Qiming and Wuwu, Li Jiazhi did not rush to clean up Hedong, Yanmen County was occupied by the Turks for a short time, but it has almost become a ruined and dead city, corpses are everywhere and wailing all over the ground, both people's hearts and houses are in urgent need of repair.
Li Jiazhi discussed with Liu Wen, he led his 50,000 horses to stay in Yanmen, built houses and walls to calm the people's hearts, and Liu Wen led an army of 150,000 to attack Qinghe County. Liu Wen didn't expect Li Jiazhi to be so bold, and he didn't want to take such a great credit as recovering Hedong, and gave up his command.
He is a subordinate of Situ Xin, and his official qualifications are above Li Jiazhi, and theoretically Li Jiazhi has no right to dictate to him. But Li Jiazhi's identity made him have to scruple, just as he had to scruple about the identity of the second son. However, the second son has no arrogance, and never relies on his son as a general to interfere in military affairs beyond his authority, but cooperates with his strategy everywhere. There is Situ Qiming in the army, Liu Wen not only does not feel constrained, but also feels like a tiger with wings.
But now that Situ Qiming is gone, Li Jiazhi has replaced him, and Liu Wenyuan is still worried that the third son of the Li family will rely on the merit of recovering Yanmen and not take himself seriously, and will point fingers at military affairs, should he listen or not? The general has no intention of taking the throne, and he will not be surnamed Li in the future, and if he offends him at this time, he may not be able to give himself small shoes to wear in the future!
Therefore, after Liu Wen learned that Situ Qiming was in a hurry to return to Chang'an, he struggled all night, thinking about how to deal with Li Jia's responsibility. To his surprise, this third son of Li is better than the second son, Yanmen is in ruins, he actually offered to sit in Yanmen by himself, and also gave him the command of 50,000 soldiers and horses left by Situ Qiming. This is tantamount to giving up the immortal work of recovering Hedong!
Liu Wen looked at Li Jiazhi gratefully, and sighed in his heart: "This kind of mind is either a hero or a fool!"
Even if Li Jiazhi was a little stupid in the past, after the joint training of Situ Ningbing and Meng Jiajia, he was not stupid. Although he wanted to take Hedong into his pocket, he understood that in addition to the speed of soldiers, he also had to pay attention to the right time, place and people. Yanmen Pass is the gateway to the Central Plains, and it must be repaired and rebuilt after being severely damaged, otherwise the portal is not strong, and the Turks may invade again at any time! What's more, his brother told him that Hedong is the realm of dead demons, and asked him not to act rashly.
Li Jiazhi has always been the most self-aware, he no longer looks down on Yang Yan in his heart, and he also knows who he can provoke and who he can't provoke. Similar to Zhou Xingzhi and the like, he can clean it up by himself, as for the dead lady...... It's better to leave it to his brother to deal with, just be a thug for him.
"General Liu......" Li Jiazhi looked at Liu Wen's back as he strode away, and muttered, "It's really hard for you." Liu Wen thought that he had gained a great advantage, but in fact he was just a pawn crossing the river. Li Jia was high and sold Liu Wen, and he was grateful to count the money for him.
Liu Wen was sent by Situ Xin to recover Yanmen, not to mention the loss of troops in these days, and did not make a big contribution, but also asked Li Jiazhi to easily take Yanmen and take the first credit. Liu Wen is a veteran general who has experienced a hundred battles, and he was compared to Li Jiazhi, a fledgling noble son, and it is one thing to be difficult to explain to Situ Xin, mainly because he can't hang up on face. Li Jiazhi caught his mind of being in a hurry to save face, and fooled Liu Wen into being a striker to test the waters.
If it weren't for Situ Xin's heartfelt that the emperor was not a human worker, and that he was in danger of cutting off his children and grandchildren, and he was bent on throwing this hot potato to his son-in-law, Li Jiazhi would not have to wait for Liu Wen to finish testing the water, and his army would have run out of food.
Not to mention that Li Jiazhi sat in Yanmen, Li Shuning escorted his mother Wang to Chang'an, and sure enough, he "coincidentally" met, Chen Guoduchess Hu's mother and daughter, in the suburban post station.
The Wang family is so foolish, but Li Shuning is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past, and when she saw the unusual enthusiasm of the Hu family and daughter for her mother, she suddenly became vigilant.
"Mama" When she was resting at night, Li Shuning specially called Mama Lin, "Do you say that Mrs. Chen Guo is a little strange? Our family did not have any contact with Chen Guogong's Mansion in the past, Pingshui met, this Mrs. Yuan sent this and that, she was more attentive than Yicheng, what do you say she wants?"
Mama Lin was given to Situ Ningbing by Concubine Li Guifei in the past, and Li Shuning had learned the rules from her for a period of time before leaving the cabinet. After Li Shuning returned to Chang'an, Situ Ningbing knew that his time was short, so he simply asked Mama Lin to follow Li Shuning. This time, Li Shuning took back the Wang family, lest she have any omissions with her aunt and cousins in the backyard, so she told the truth, so she invited Mama Lin to accompany her.
Mama Lin had already seen that the Hu family had bad intentions, and Li Shuning wanted to say it without asking her.
The old slave thought that Mrs. Yuan's actions were all to pave the way for Miss Yuan. "Like Hu's method of walking and stuffing people, Mama Lin doesn't know how much she has seen, and she is uneven in her heart, but her tone is very calm.
