Chapter 586: Daring
In October, the weather is getting cooler. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Lin Yan's pregnancy was already six months old, and her belly was bulging, so now she doesn't have to worry about everything, but she is richer than usual.
The emperor loved her like this, pinched the flesh on her face, and said with a smile: "There is still a little meat on the body that looks better, and the complexion looks good." You used to be good, but you lost a little weight, and sometimes you were knocked when you hugged it. ”
Lin Yan smiled and said, "If you are fatter, the emperor will not be able to hold me." ”
Lin Yan was relieved to be accompanied by several daughters to make small clothes for unborn children, she and Princess Rui's craftsmanship is not good, only Princess Jun is still ingenious, and the small clothes made are still decent.
Occasionally, I remembered that Princess Rui's dowry was still missing, so I went to prepare Princess Rui's dowry.
Princess Rui smiled and said to Lin Yan: "When Brother Sheng and I get married and have a child, we will be about the same age as my little brother, maybe they will be able to play together in the future." ”
Princess Jue laughed at her and said: "Before they get married, my sister is planning to have a child, and my sister is not ashamed." ”
Princess Rui snorted: "What is there to be ashamed of, children are always going to be born." ”
said to Lin Yan again: "But I'm afraid of pain, I told Brother Sheng that we will have two children in the future." One boy and one girl are enough. ”
Lin Yan laughed when she heard this.
Changkun Palace is like a peach blossom spring, but the war in the northwest frontier is getting hotter and hotter.
Because of the support of the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate, and because of the trickery and poison used by the king of Turpan, Turpan has not been able to attack for a long time.
As winter progresses, the weather deteriorates, and the battle will only get harder and harder.
And the Turpan Khanate was accustomed to cold weather in winter, but the army of Daliang was not, and it was not easy to get used to such a climate. In case of bad weather, it will lower the morale of the soldiers. So winter was more favorable for the Turpan Khanate, but not for the army of Daliang.
In this case, either the Turpan Khanate will be resolved quickly, or it will be a temporary truce and wait until the weather warms up in the spring of next year.
And Lin Chengzheng and Huan Xiaowangzi and others obviously chose the first one.
After a few years of resting in the northwest, many soldiers have not returned home for several years. Everyone wants to finish this battle quickly, and then go home to their wives and children to warm the kang. For the imperial court, the war consumption is also large. The wealth accumulated in the past few years, the overflowing treasury, is now gradually empty. Fortunately, in the past ten years, because of the opening of the port to trade, the prosperity of trade, and the continuous increase of fiscal revenue, the lives of the common people have not been dragged down.
For this reason, the little prince Huan came up with a solution.
The White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate were able to devote all their forces to support the Turpan Khanate against the Great Liang, firstly, because the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate had the same ancestor as the Turpan Khanate, and they were all branches of the sons of King Chengji Khan; Second, the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate were just after the Turpan Khanate, and the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate were somewhat worried, and after the Great Liang captured the Turpan Khanate, they would continue to attack the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate westward.
The little prince Huan said: "The White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate used all their forces to support the Turpan Khanate, and the royal court behind them definitely did not have many troops. Why don't we send an army straight into the royal courts of the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate and make their butts smoke. When the time comes, the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate must have taken care of themselves and led their troops back to save their royal court. However, if our army attacks Turpan again, it can be taken in one fell swoop. ”
Lin Chengzheng said: "What His Highness said is a good way, and the minister has naturally thought about it." However, the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate were separated from Turpan by the Great Liang, and if you want to go to the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate, you must go through Turpan. But now the forces of the Three Khanates have built a wall in Turpan, firstly, it is difficult for the troops of the Great Liang to pass, and secondly, if they want to suddenly attack their royal court, they must go unaware, and they will not be able to bring a large number of troops over. If it is discovered, it is easy to be intercepted by the forces of the Three Khanates, and when the time comes, the army of the Great Liang will not be able to support it, which is too dangerous for those who venture to the past. ”
said with a look of "you are still too young" and said to the little prince Huan: "Do you think that the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate dare to send all their troops to Turpan, and they are not afraid of the fire in the rear. ”
The little prince patted his chest and said, "Give me five thousand soldiers and horses, and I'll bring someone over." The two uncles are waiting for my news in front, and then they are ready to attack......"
Lin Chengzheng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately refused: "No! His Royal Highness is the lifeblood of the emperor and his mother, and the minister must not let His Royal Highness take such a risk. In case something happens to His Royal Highness, he has thought about the mother who is still pregnant with a child in the palace. ”
The little prince Huan wanted to say more, and shouted: "Uncle! ”
Lin Chengzheng raised his hand to stop him and said, "There is no room for negotiation in this matter, and the minister will definitely not agree." The last time you were injured and poisoned in the arm, it had already scared the emperor and his mother, and the emperor had already ordered that you would not even be allowed to go to the battlefield again until you were injured. If His Royal Highness takes another risk this time, the minister will never give up and be sorry for the emperor and his mother. ”
The little prince turned to Lin Chenggang for help again, and said, "Fourth uncle......
Lin Chenggang has always been silent, but at this time he also said: "Your Highness does not ask for ministers, and ministers will not agree." ”
The little prince of Huan distinguished: "Didn't my father send me to the northwest, didn't he just want me to make meritorious contributions, so that I could take over the military power in the northwest in the future." If I retreat at the first time I encounter danger, how will I serve the people and lead the troops to defend the northwest in the future? Besides, I'm going to be the best candidate. As soon as the White Horde and Bukhara Khan heard that it was me, my father's favorite prince, who was the emperor's favorite, to attack their rear with his troops, and that I was young, they would despise the enemy, and they would definitely give up supporting Turpan and lead the troops back to the royal court, so as to capture me so as to threaten my father to withdraw his army. At that time, it was not easy for the two uncles to capture Turpan. ”
Lin Chengzheng and Lin Chenggang still didn't agree with his idea.
Lin Chengzheng knew that the little prince Huan had always been bold, and he was not a person who was easy to listen to persuasion, and even found someone to watch him, lest he secretly do something to come out.
But even so, it still didn't prevent it. The little prince Huan still had some sneaky skills, secretly gathered some soldiers and horses who were willing to venture with him, and led 3,000 men overnight from the only desert area where the army of the Three Khanates had not sent troops to defend it, and went to the rear to attack the royal court of the White Horde and the Bukhara Khanate.
By the time Lin Chengzheng found out, the little prince had been gone for a while.
Lin Chengzheng scolded angrily: "This kid, so many people didn't look at him. Didn't he know that the desert was a death zone, and how many people had been buried in the wind and sand of that desert and strange and strange things. "Even the Three Khanates didn't dare to send troops to garrison anywhere, but he went with 3,000 men, and he was so bold!
Then on the one hand, he sent people to chase after him, hoping to catch up, and on the other hand, he hurriedly wrote a letter to ask him to send him back to Beijing to explain this matter to the emperor, and at the same time, he had to prepare that if he couldn't catch up with the little prince Huan, he could only continue according to his plan and let the army prepare.
