Chapter 318: The Two Return
Cake shop, just make biscuits, since you want to open a store, you can't just sell the same product, for your own profit and reputation to have more recipes, so that the store's shares will increase the gold content.
It just so happens that there are a few pastries that I usually eat at home, which are very good, so I can ask the cook at home to teach them.
"It's not enough, it's something to be done."
Li De has been busy since he came back from Longqingfang, he has been thinking about a lot of things by himself, and looking at it is all trivial.
In the backyard of the Li family, the maids who were making cosmetics were looking a little weird, and Li De was very curious, and they all worked under the prompting of the waitress foreman.
Qiao Yue saw that the eldest prince was in a hurry, and she didn't dare to ask more.
"Eldest son, leave the work of fetching water to me."
"Okay."
Li De put down the bucket, and then went to the perfumer's warehouse to help roll the materials, doing all the hard work.
The six perfumers are not usually busy with their work, and when they saw the owner personally going into battle, they thought that there was something new for him to make himself, and they all wanted to go over and help.
As a result, Li De put down the things he was doing and handed them over to do directly, and went to the stable in the west courtyard to feed the horses.
Behavior is strange and elusive.
At this time, Li De himself knew that he was in trouble, and Lanling's uneasy behavior put him in a desperate situation.
Li De has a very good impression of Lanling, Lanling pays so much, he naturally knows it, if there is no such thing, he will use wealth to make up for it, after all, it is really not easy to have a friend who really helps you.
There are more things to consider now, Lanling has an emperor's eldest brother, and it won't be long before he will be replaced by the old Li family, and Lanling's situation will definitely not be too good at that time.
Let's not talk about Yang Guang's fate, just a single round of Lan Ling's pregnancy, if people know it, it will be a hurdle, Lan Ling now wants to solve it by winning over the powerful, even if there is something wrong, it is not easy to blame his brother.
But she didn't know that Yang Guang was a person, so she wouldn't worry too much about it at all, if she knew that the overall situation was important, she wouldn't have conquered Goryeo three times, and she wouldn't be in a hurry to build a large number of buildings.
They will not do anything contrary.
So in his mind, the way to keep Princess Lanling is nothing more than to have strong enough strength, how can the strength be strong.
In order to protect themselves in troubled times, the Li family is thinking of retreating, Li An plans to let the family all return to the Li family in Chao County, with the protection of the clan, and the children of the clan can enter the court as officials, and they can enjoy their old age in peace when they retire.
Coupled with Li De's financial resources, returning to the clan will inevitably be able to get shelter.
The plan is not as good as the change, Li An went on the expedition, the Li family was isolated, and with some financial resources, he could be prosperous for a while, but it was not a long-term solution, and he now knew that Princess Lanling thought farther than him.
It should be said that at the beginning of the fight, Lanling moved his mind, and he was really caught off guard.
"The eldest prince, the eldest prince."
Li Fu's voice was impatient.
"I'm here." Li De spoke up.
"You Junda and Liang Shitai are back, and they are waiting in the main hall, and the eldest lady asked you to go over immediately." Li Fu hurriedly said.
"Father's news?" Li De said.
The two quickened their pace, and soon saw the two waiting.
"De'er, your father is coming back." Mother Zheng said immediately when she saw Li De coming over.
"Is the war over, are you two okay?" Li De said.
The two were very moved, and even asked them about their condition first.
You Junda took out the sealed letter and exchanged it with Li De, and after Li De read it carefully, he directly asked someone to bring a charcoal brazier and burn the letter.
In addition, he carefully read the letter written by his father, and said that the situation in the past few months, although some soldiers and horses have lost some, there is always no danger, and the letter also specifically mentions You Junda and Liang Shitai, and praised and praised the bravery of the battle.
"Tell me about the situation." Li Dedao.
"The two of us arrived in Liaoshui to know that General Li had led the troops to the expedition, we had to go to look for it, and when we found it, General Li and General Wei's soldiers and horses were being attacked by the enemy, and we joined the battle, and then fell into a fierce battle, and the situation forced us to stay, until the soldiers and horses of the Sui Dynasty told them that the war was near the end before returning with the soldiers and horses......"
You Junda talked about their experience, simply put, they didn't find anyone when they delivered the letter, and when they found someone, they encountered enemy attacks, and then they were besieged, and they stayed in the enemy's hinterland for more than a month, and they couldn't leave until a herald from the base camp went to give orders.
Li Ang wrote in his heart that the two fought bravely and saved the day many times.
After being tempered by soldiers, the temperament of the two has changed, and they are more like hot-blooded men, with a murderous aura all over their bodies.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's a good idea to work for your son." You Junda said simply.
"My hammer technique has improved, and I rely on the guidance of my master, and Tai will continue to work hard." Liang Shitai said.
When the two came back, Li An's life was worry-free, his soldiers and horses did not lose much, he won many battles, and he pinned down the enemy's soldiers and horses in the enemy's hinterland, all of which were credits.
However, the overall battle situation was not optimistic, many generals suffered defeats one after another, Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu was very responsible, and Liu Shilong, the right man of Shangshu, fell into the enemy's plan to surrender, which became the last straw that overwhelmed 300,000 soldiers and horses.
After months of fighting, many surprise attacks, losses of soldiers, and the people responsible for transporting grain and grass were overwhelmed, and they chose to flee when their lives were in danger.
Incognito, become a homeless person, wander into the rivers and lakes and become reckless, more choices are to occupy the mountain as the king and take refuge in the mountain bandits to become thieves, and the people responsible for transporting grain and grass materials can gather millions of people, so that the local security has been under tremendous pressure.
If we don't count the burden and harm caused to the world, it can be regarded as a large-scale migration, after all, the displaced people will inevitably find a place to settle down in order to settle down, which has somewhat promoted the transfer of some population.
But it's nothing.
Let the two go back to rest, and the Li family will wait for the news with peace of mind.
"De'er, now Mother just asks your father to return safely."
The return of the two gave Zheng's mother a lot of confidence, and now she can only wait.
Li De is not in such a good mood, the specific losses are not known, who knows if Emperor Yang of Sui will be angry after learning the result, how many 300,000 soldiers and horses can come back, Li De also wants to know.
When Li De saw his mother's state, he knew that he didn't need to be appeased at all, if he didn't leave, he would probably be left behind to play cards, and he wanted to be alone at this time.
Emperor Yang of Sui almost overturned the bookcase, all the folds on the table were pulled to the ground by him, the battle report had arrived, Yuwenshu personally wrote, 300,000 soldiers and horses did not survive nine, and the soldiers and horses of the conquest were gathering in Liaoshui.
The reason for the defeat was that the roads were blocked, the water and soil were not adapted, and it was difficult to conquer the city, and the key was that the lack of food and grass could not support a long battle, and the soldiers and horses were dragged and boasted.
Defeated.
