Facing his son's question, Yu Wenhua sighed and said: "That day, Li Mi calculated and lost countless soldiers and horses, so he ended up in a miserable situation now. However, that Wang Bo is a greedy person, and he must have taken a fancy to my dozens of treasures. ”

"In that case, we should be more vigilant." Yuwen Seungji frowned.

"Big brother, are you confused about fighting?" Yuwen Chengtoe shouted: "Since Wang Bo values property, it is necessary to cut the meat and share some of it." As the so-called wealth is avoided by disaster, is there any other way to do it now? ”

"As the third uncle said, taking refuge in Li Tang is the best choice at present." Yuwen Seungji said.

"Take refuge in Li Tang? It means that all the jewels were given to Li Yuan, and we will only send people under the fence in the future. That Wang Bo is guarding Qizhou, his power is not small, and he is willing to submit to his father, I think it is feasible. Yuwen Chengtoe insisted.

It is conceivable that Yuwen Chengji's strength alone is difficult to turn things around, Yuwen and his ambition is immortal after all, and he is used to the prestige of being an emperor, even if he only has 10,000 people under him, he is not willing to serve others.

Soon, Yu Wenhua made up his mind and replied to Wang Bo, roughly meaning that I can go to Qizhou, but you have to contain Dou Jiande outside.

Soon there was a reply, and with it, there were 50,000 soldiers and horses, on this day, Yu Wenhua and with less than 10,000 people and gold, silver and jewelry, Jiangdu women, quietly out of the east gate of Liaocheng in the early morning, and then ran all the way.

At this time, without Yuan Ziyan's urging, Li Mi also wrote to the imperial court, hoping to increase the army by 100,000, so as to exterminate Wang Bo and others.

After receiving the book. Li Shimin immediately said happily: "Father, this is a good thing. Lai Guogong did not disgrace his mission, and after his obedience, he was loyal to our dynasty. It's really gratifying. ”

Li Yuan nodded, Li Jiancheng made the old mistake of eliminating dissidents again, and said: "Father, at the beginning, Xu Maogong took away all the generals of the Wagang Army on the grounds of burying Li Mi, and did not leave a single soldier. Now the sudden demand for an additional 100,000 troops is not a small amount. Father needs to think twice. ”

"Big brother, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, at this time, with the help of the Wagang Army. Isn't it a beautiful thing to eliminate Wang Bo and Dou Jiande in one fell swoop? Li Shimin asked displeased.

"Second brother, so active, are you still thinking about Yuan Ziyan, who has long been his wife?" Li Jiancheng said suddenly.

You?!

Li Shimin's face flushed. said in a cold voice: "Big brother, don't compare my private affairs with state affairs!" ”

"You have repeatedly contradicted your father because of private matters. also openly went out of the city to chase people, and returned in despair, which was really a loss of royal face! ”

"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel!" Li Yuan stopped his two sons from drinking loudly, and after thinking about it, he still felt that the eldest son Li Jiancheng might be more thoughtful.

This has little to do with Li Yuan's favoritism, because Li Jiancheng is the crown prince, that is, the future son of heaven. So from the perspective of preserving the throne, of course, I have to think more than others. Li Shimin is just a prince after all. Leading troops to fight, the most adventurous, you must know that this initial Li Tang Jiangshan can not withstand too many mistakes.

Before, because of Li Mi, Li Jiancheng had a lot of small actions in private, and Li Yuan was not completely unaware of it, in order to repeat the mistakes of the last time and make the prince the target of public criticism, Li Yuan did not show too much hesitation, and immediately announced that 100,000 soldiers and horses could be deployed depending on the situation, and the specific operation would be handled by the prince.

In order to avoid Xu Maogong thinking too much, Li Yuan still crowned him as the general of Youwu Marquis, changed his title to Cao Guogong, and rewarded Yuan Ziyan with a pair of rare and rare blue corals, ten night pearls, ten strings of pearls above ten millimeters, one hundred taels of gold, and one thousand taels of silver.

Since it was Li Jiancheng who was in charge, he only sent one-fifth of the 100,000 soldiers and horses to Qizhou to join the soldiers and horses who came from Liyang, and as for the other 80,000 soldiers and horses, it depended on the situation.

Li Shimin was deeply disappointed, such an arrangement must have chilled the hearts of loyal ministers, and also chilled his hearts. In the eyes of his father, the prince's words and deeds should be unconditionally protected, and the grandiose excuse is the stability of the country. also because of his relationship with Yuan Ziyan last time, Li Yuan was very dissatisfied with Li Shimin, and even the military power began to gradually transfer to Li Jiancheng, which made Li Shimin feel depressed.

When I returned home, I heard the laughter of the eldest grandson Wujian and Yang Zhao at the door, both of whom were of noble birth, sisters were commensurate, and they got along well.

Seeing Li Shimin come back, the eldest grandson Wujian and Yang Zhao hurriedly got up, and Yang Zhao also saluted in a proper manner. The eldest grandson Wujian said with a smile: "Shimin, I only said that only Chengqian was very lonely at the beginning, and I don't want to be so soon, Xiao Chengqian will have two younger brothers or sisters." ”

Li Shimin glanced up at Yang Zhao, only to see that she was shy and timid, lowered her head, and said angrily: "Sister, the fetus is less than a month old, why do you spread it around?" ”

"Hehe, I'm happy for you. Shimin, do you guess, whether the fetus and my sister in my womb are male or female? The eldest grandson Wujian couldn't help but say and pulled Li Shimin to sit down.

Li Shimin said casually: "This king already has a son, so naturally he hopes to have another daughter, and he has both children and daughters." ”

The eldest grandson Wujian covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "I also want a daughter." ”

"I want a son, and I will be a dependent in the future." Yang Zhao is a sincere person and said immediately.

The eldest grandson smiled suddenly, it turned out that this water-like sister was actually soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she grew up in the palace, so she naturally expected more from the boy.

"If you give birth to a man, you will be as smart and handsome as you." Li Shimin feels pretty good about Yang Zhao, docile and well-behaved, born sickly, and lovable.

"Shimin, if it is a boy, he is the most noble son of the bloodline, no matter what, the child's grandfather is the emperor, and the bloodline cannot be changed." Yang Zhao said with a happy face.

The eldest grandson Wujian lowered his face to Yang Zhao for the first time, and scolded softly: "Sister, the dynasty has changed at this time, so don't mention the matter of the previous dynasty in the future!" ”

"Sister, did Zhao'er say something wrong?" Yang Zhao hurriedly stood aside in horror, bowing his head and fiddling with the corners of his clothes, his face panicked.

The good family atmosphere disappeared all of a sudden, and Li Shimin always felt that his wife was too orthodox, but like a moral model, but it still made people feel a little nervous.

The eldest grandson wanted to say a few more words, but he didn't expect Yang Zhao's body to start shaking because he was too nervous, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Li Shimin was shocked and sweated profusely, his eyes were fast, and he finally helped Yang Zhao and hurriedly called the imperial doctor. After the imperial doctor's examination, it was because Yang Zhao's body was too weak and extremely frightened.

The eldest grandson Wujian smiled bitterly and sighed secretly, it is really difficult to be a daughter-in-law, Yuan Ziyan doesn't know the height of the sky, she can't say anything about her at all, and Yang Zhao is too weak, as soon as the wind blows, it will fall, and the louder it will become extremely frightened, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to put on my face in the future.

"Shimin, the concubine deserves to die, I almost scared my sister just now, if the child falls, the concubine will be to blame." The eldest grandson Wujian still took the initiative to find Li Shimin to apologize and kowtow to admit his mistake.

"Shicai is also really dangerous, if Zhao'er falls to the ground, the fetus will definitely not be protected. Innocent, I hope this family should be warm and harmonious, not too many rules, I hope you understand. Li Shimin said.

"There are no rules, there is no circle, and the population of the family will continue to increase in the future, if everyone comes according to their own temperament, wouldn't it be a mess?" The eldest grandson Wujian said bluntly: "I know that I have many shortcomings, but the sky can see that I am doing this for your own good." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's words were stubborn, and there was no lack of grievances, but Li Shimin had a good impression of him, bent down to help her up, and comforted: "I just said casually, the specific matters still need to be handled by my beloved wife." ”

The eldest grandson Wujian was moved, gently leaned on her husband's shoulder, wrapped her hands around his waist, and really wanted time to stand still and stay in this moment forever.

The love of monogamy is difficult for rich women in ancient times to experience, and like Yuan Ziyan, who is favored by her husband, she also eats tasteless and has no spirit every day.

Xu Maogong left Zhang Liang to stay in Liyang, and he himself brought 30,000 soldiers and horses to Qizhou, and met the imperial court reinforcements halfway, but he couldn't help frowning.

Yuan Ziyan saw that he was also angry, there were only 20,000 people, and they were all old and weak soldiers, the leading general was over the age of sixties, thin and weak, and his name was unknown, such a team was simply chicken ribs.

The leader took out the list of gifts that had been folded, far away from his eyes, laboriously read word by word, of course Xu Maogong and others had to kneel to receive the order, and the leader was seriously blind, and when he read it, he ran away from the wrong line, and read it again, and this coral alone made him read it three times, which was equivalent to the imperial court giving Yuan Ziyan six roots.

Yuan Ziyan was really impatient, and said loudly: "Don't read it anymore, we all understand the meaning of the imperial court." ”

The leader put his hand to his ear, louder than Yuan Ziyan's voice: "What did Madame say?" ”

Yuan Ziyan almost fainted, but the old man was still behind his ears, and he inevitably muttered: "It must be Li Jiancheng's idea to send such a team." ”

"Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious, so they can only fight first and then ask for troops." Xu Maogong said helplessly.

"No wonder this kind of person can't be the emperor!" Thinking of Li Mi's tragic death, Yuan Ziyan became angry, and couldn't help but say, Xu Maogong was so frightened that he couldn't come to plug her mouth, and reminded: "Ziyan, you can't talk nonsense!" ”

"Hmph, do you value these rewards so much that you even become less daring?" Yuan Ziyan asked unhappily.

Xu Maogong smiled bitterly and said, "My Xu family is a local rich man and famous all over the country, and these treasures are not worth mentioning. At the beginning, he followed Xing Guogong, died nine times in his life, and had countless scars, so how to talk about cowardice. It's just that after having you, I know what it's like to be frightened. ”

Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly, a touch of apology appeared on his face, presumably at this time, Yu Wenhua was almost in Qizhou, it was not appropriate to delay, Xu Maogong integrated the troops and horses, and moved forward quickly.

It's just that the speed of these old and weak soldiers is too slow, and they could have arrived in one day, but it took two days! (To be continued......)
