Chapter Twenty-Three: Something Goes Wrong
"The crown princess?"
In the big tent on the front line of Yinzhou, Li Wei was in front of the sand table, and after listening to the words of the messenger at home, he raised his eyebrows and pondered.
What is the situation of the prince, I am afraid that the entire Great Qi knows that there are very few people in the prince's faction in the court.
Staff General Cen Yi cleared his throat and asked: "Could it be that the Holy Lord intends to re-support the prince and find a strong reinforcement for him, and the Bianjing forces have already stood in line, so the Holy Lord has taken a fancy to our Zhengxi General's Mansion?" ”
Li Wei frowned, he didn't want to participate in these battles at all, and now he just wanted to solve the border trouble once and for all.
The border passes have been fought for so many years, and the hatred between each other is as deep as the sea, and every year the Qiang people invade, they always kill rivers of blood and poison the people of Liangzhou.
The general is outside, how can he be entrusted to the prince, it is simply ridiculous.
However, this emperor has done more than one ridiculous thing, especially after getting older.
The monarchs and ministers of the court are mediocre and incompetent, and the generals and soldiers of the General's Mansion know that they are loyal to the General's Mansion and Li Wei in their hearts.
Jiang Xiangyu, a staff officer in the army, groaned: "When the eldest prince entered Beijing, he took the path of Wu Guifei, so that the imperial court allocated food and salary. I'm afraid no one in the government and the opposition doesn't know this, Concubine Wu and the crown prince have always been like fire and water, if the saint is not a balanced strategy, I am afraid that the intentions are not simple. ”
Jiang Xiangyu is the think tank of the General's Mansion, and he has always been full of wisdom, and the generals immediately became uneasy when they heard it.
"The big war is coming, could it be that the imperial court has to drag its feet?"
"In this battle, we are not only fighting for ourselves, but also for the entire Great Qi. The imperial court did not pull out the food and pay the army and labor, but made so many twists and turns, which is really upsetting! ”
...
Li Wei waved his hand, sighed, and said, "You go back and tell Li Xin that he will entertain Yao Baobao and be responsible for Feng'er's marriage, strictly follow the canonical system, and don't slack off." The military situation is urgent, and since we are generals, we still have to put military affairs first. ”
Military advisor Jiang Xiangyu hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "General, the prince welcomes his relatives, and there are 30,000 people in the honor guard according to the etiquette system..."
Li Wei had made up his mind, waved his hand and said, "War first!" ”
The Li family has been waiting for this opportunity in Yinzhou for a hundred years, and the last wish of the ancestors is to fight here.
"I inherited the general of Zhengxi at the age of twenty-five, and it has been thirty years now! Life is like a white horse, how can there be the next 30 years? ”
"General!"
"Needless to say, the Qiang people are already caged birds, fish in the net, pass my order, order light cavalry to rush into battle, with five hundred horsemen as a team, ten teams as a battalion, within ten days to break through the Qiang camp, and then sweep away the Hengshan tribe, those who are not of my race... No mercy! ”
The alien race in the northwest entered the Central Plains at the end of the Tang Dynasty and owed a lot of blood debts.
When they slaughtered the Han Chinese, they also took with them advanced technology, especially smelting and cast iron.
The Qiang people wore helmets neatly, the armor on their bodies was like fish scales, and two thick pieces of armor were placed side by side on their chests. In contrast, Li Wei's subordinates were all messy military uniforms, and their armor had no metal armor pieces or even leather.
Northwest Army... Poor! For a few years, he did not allocate money, relying on the prestige of the General's Mansion and the little income brought by the caravan to support it.
Since ancient times, Hu and Han have been fighting, and it is rare for such armor and weapons to appear that Han is not as good as Hu, but the Northwest Army is not afraid of death, and is brave and good at fighting.
The drums rained down on the hearts of the Qiang people in the mountains, and they looked at the Northwest Hussars in the distance.
They wield a variety of weapons, and some even fought with open arms, but their eyes were full of invincible sharpness.
On the other hand, on his side, although he has complete armor, he is already a frightened bird.
After the Han people took Yinzhou, the Qiang people, who lost their shelter, were defeated in seven battles and seven times, and almost all the people who were killed died.
The horn sounded and countless light cavalry swept in with their blades. The smoke and dust rolled up are like giant dragons, which is daunting.
Before Tuoba Ye, the leader of the Qiang people, could speak, his mount had already hissed uneasily, and his hooves stepped back.
"Withdraw!"
---
Yedu unmanned boat self-traverse.
Outside Liangzhou City, in a reed thicket, there is a small boat.
The chirping of insects lingers in the ears, and the spring breeze slowly blows on the face, making it seem that the small lake is quiet.
Chen Shou had a reed in his mouth, and he chatted with Li Lingyue with or without a match, which was nothing more than a trivial matter for their sisters.
Speaking of her sister marrying into the capital, Li Lingyue was still a little reluctant in her heart, she was sad, and when she looked back at Chen Shou, she looked like a hanger, and suddenly said angrily: "You dead man, have you heard it again." ”
Chen Shou gently grabbed her pair of soft wattles and said, "Your sister married to the capital to be the crown princess, and she will be the queen in the future, and the mother is the world, so it's too late to be happy." ”
Li Lingyue sighed and said, "You don't know, this prince may not have done what the emperor did." ”
Chen Shou chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had an ominous premonition, and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Li Lingyue said to himself: "Originally, I heard from the people in the house that the prince was not only sick and couldn't get out of bed all day, but was also bullied by Concubine Wu every day, and it is not certain whether he can survive today's saint." ”
"Let an unfavored prince marry the daughter of a frontier general, or before the Great War?"
Chen Shou lowered his head, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, this didn't seem like a normal person doing something.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.
Chen Shou is not from the General's Mansion, so he looks at this matter from the perspective of a pure bystander, and feels full of strangeness.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Chen Shou tried to explain clearly to the girl in front of him, but he was afraid that he was worrying about nothing.
After all, framing the royal family and the imperial court is not a small sin.
Li Lingyue saw that he was dumbfounded, and thought that he had come on a date to talk about his sister, which made him angry.
She snuggled into Chen Shou's arms without a teacher, with a sweet face, "Okay, it's not okay if people don't talk about it." ”
Chen Shou grabbed her shoulder, turned around, and said with a solemn face: "Can you take me to see the general?" ”
"Huh? This one... Dad, he's at war, didn't you say... Come and see my dad again? Don't get me wrong! I'm not disgusted with you, I'm..."
Li Lingyue obviously misunderstood, her expression twisted, pinched the corners of her skirt and said, "Can you see my second brother first?" ”
Under the nest, there are eggs.
The Zhengxi General's Mansion didn't show any kindness to him, at best, they used each other, but he helped them a lot.
But the girl in front of her really can't fall into danger, in this strange time and space, Chen Shou doesn't know many people, and he doesn't care much, and Li Lingyue in front of him is obviously one of them.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums beating on the bridge by the lake.
Chen Shou stood up and looked from a distance, the apricot yellow flag covered the sky and the sun, and a huge guard of honor was slowly crossing the bridge.
These people are neat and uniform, and they are very lawful, but the sound of gongs and drums is a little messy.
"This is the honor guard to welcome relatives, I heard that it was transferred from Hexi, and it is going to be stationed on the outskirts of the city, and it will be in a few days to enter the city to welcome relatives, and when people get married, they will definitely not have this majesty."
Chen Shou stared at it for a while, and said categorically: "Yue'er, take me to see your father, now!" ”
