Chapter 762 Pingyang
"Your Royal Highness is like a god, and the king of the county has returned to the army, but ...... The enemy army did not chase after him, and it seemed that His Highness was going to return in vain, and the king of the county, in the opinion of the minister, it was better to send someone to inform him. ”
What began to nag in Li Xiuning's ears was Chu Suiliang, who joined the army, gentle and elegant and agile and tough, although his ancestral home was Yangzhai, but now he is faintly a leader of the younger generation of athletes in the northwest.
This is very easy to explain, he and his father Chu Liang both served under Xue Ju, and after the Tang Dynasty, they were naturally classified as Xue Ju's descendants, which is almost equivalent to the Northwest people.
After that, the father and son accompanied Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as assistants to his staff, and because of their participation in the killing of Dugu Huaien, they finally entered the ranks of the henchmen of the Qin Palace.
When Li Shimin, the king of Qin, returned to Beijing, Chu Liang went to serve in Xingtai in Eastern Shaanxi Province, and Chu Suiliang came to Yongfengcang, in fact, they were all the tentacles left by King Qin in the army.
In addition to maintaining the influence of the Qin Wangfu in the army, he is also preparing for the return of the Qin King to lead the troops at all times.
Of course, Chu Suiliang knew what he needed to do in Yongfengcang, and what his purpose was, but this handsome young man who claimed to be an all-round talent in civil and military affairs had some strange thoughts.
Li Xiuning, Li Yuan's third daughter, grandson, now the princess of Pingyang, because of military exploits to open the mansion and build teeth, do not let the brothers, in Beijing to take charge of the Qianniu Mansion, go out to lead the troops to guard the Yongfeng Okura, not only the heroine of the woman, but also the noble noble.
If such a woman is beautiful, how attractive she must be to some ambitious and talented men?
Of course, even if the young Chu Dalang admired the princess when he saw the princess in Yongfengcang, but then again, if he was given a god's courage, he didn't dare to ask for anything.
The reasons are all on the bright side, not only Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning herself should not be humiliated, but the princess's husband is also powerful, and besides, ...... The lover of the family is as fierce as a tiger and a wolf......
Such a woman, not to mention that now she is only a little talented, and Chu Suiliang, who looks good and looks good, how many men in the world dare to covet it?
Therefore, Chu Suiliang has always been a tone when he talks to Li Xiuning, respectful and gentle, sincere and a little rippling, and he is not good at proportion, but compared to his age, his courage is really not small, but it can also be said to be a bit of a city.
It's a pity that Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang has already seen a lot of things now, how could she look down on a small army member, even when she was young, the scoundrel in the north just took advantage of the fact that she had not made any friends.
"What? The soldiers are pressing the realm, and our soldiers and horses are not in the eyes of the county king......" Li Xiuning didn't look at Chu Suiliang, he only replied casually, and waved his arm.
"Herald, let's go back."
The horses' hooves were rushing, and the knights walked quickly, because since the river beach had been lost, the area around Feng Yi had become a battlefield for the Tang army, and they should indeed run faster with their men and horses.
In fact, no matter how Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning is, she can't change Yongfengcang's embarrassing position.
Yongfengcang is not a place where large soldiers can be stationed, and its strategic location behind Feng Yi and Hancheng is obviously not prominent.
In fact, Yongfeng Warehouse, as the closest warehouse to Xijing Chang'an, has been determined from the beginning of its establishment, that is, the place where Chang'an is placed to reserve grain.
In the Sui period, the grain and rice sent from Jindi and Henan would go to Yongfeng Warehouse, and some of them were taken to Chang'an for sale to stabilize the price of grain in Chang'an, and some of them were left for emergency use.
In other words, it is similar to the role of Luokoucang, and now it seems that their final fate is also roughly similar.
Luokou warehouse is already empty, Yongfeng warehouse is also fast, since Li Xiuning took over, this warehouse is still a deteriorating situation, no way, the Tang army is not short of food for a day or two, and the reason why morale can still be maintained is only that the lack of food is not serious enough.
At the beginning, most of the grain and grass transported from all over the country had to enter Yongfeng Cang, and then distributed to the various departments stationed along the Yellow River, even Tongguan was no exception, so the power of the person in charge of Yongfeng Cang was very great.
Otherwise, Dugu Huaien would not have given birth to the idea of cutting off food for Li Shimin for no reason.
Now Yongfeng Cang has changed owners...... Well, this doesn't change anything, the prince on the left and the king of Qin on the right, it can only show that Dugu Huai'en died unjustly, and what can be done if Princess Pingyang is in charge?
Over the years, the king of Qin and the crown prince have gradually become incompatible, except for staring at the position of the prince with a good eye, what else can they take care of.
First of all, the crown prince Li Jiancheng wants to bypass Yongfeng Cang and directly transport grain and grass to Tongguan, if he wants to eat more and occupy more, it is certain, and it can also reduce constraints.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Jiancheng had a crown prince halo on his head and changed to someone else, what would be the difference between it and self-reliance?
Li Shimin was not idle, and after returning to Beijing, he found trouble with the household department, and the final result was that Tongguan didn't want to occupy a little more grain.
Then Li Jiancheng wanted to send his henchmen to assist his sister to sit in Yongfeng Cang, Li Shimin dealt with it easily, not only sent Chu Suiliang over, but also began to transfer people from Yongfeng Cang.
To this day, the Yongfeng Cang garrison has only six or seven hundred people, and in addition to the military officers who routinely guard the grain and grass, only Li Xiuning's pro-army remains.
This is not the 500 cavalry sent by Li Po to save Li Yuan's family back then, those people Li Xiu would rather not dare to take out of Beijing to wander around, once she is tied up and run to the other side, how can the Li family in Guanxi see people?
Now the pro-army around her is all hussars selected from the emperor's pro-army, and they are also all cavalry, the number is too small, and they have not gone through much battle, and the attack is unsatisfactory, but few people can catch up when they run.
Obviously, Li Yuan also tried his best for his daughter's safety and some other things.
Otherwise, Li Shenfu is a little flustered, no matter who is stationed in Yongfeng Cang now, it is actually insignificant, there are not many soldiers, and there is no way to balance the armies of the riverside in terms of grain and grass, and his position is becoming increasingly embarrassing.
But the owner of Yongfengcang is Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't go around pointing fingers, if you want to draw circles on her head, it's also delusional.
Especially what is your Li Shenrune, your brother was a lackey under my command back then, because he was an elder when talking about merit, he did have some merit on his body, plus he didn't come to grab the merit with his face, it was really pitiful, so he gave him some affection and didn't care about anything with him.
But today, you Li Shenfu still want me to obey your military orders and act, what kind of dreams do you have? Are your two brothers really the princesses of Pingyang who are responsive to all requests?
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Xiuning to stand with Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, but she can't stay in Yongfeng Cang with peace of mind, so she led her troops here today......
It seemed that she wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but in fact, she really didn't think that Li Shenfu could lead the troops to block the enemy on the opposite bank and not be able to cross the river.
The main reason why Li Xiuning led the troops here was that in order to prevent Li Shenfu from being defeated, Feng Yi was lost by the way, that is to say, once Li Shenfu was defeated, she would lead her troops to rush forward and break the Li Shenrune.
More than 500 cavalry, by surprise, it is not unusual to defeat many enemies.
Obviously, Li Xiuning has the ability to seize the fighter, well, this is not surprising, if there is no such talent, the momentum of the women's army back then would definitely not be so great.
Of course, if it were Li Po or Li Shimin, they would definitely not wait here to wipe Li Shenrune's ass, how kind and selfless would it be? They almost never have a second choice, they must go to Feng Yi first, take advantage of the absence of Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, and take over Feng Yi's military power to defend the army first.
In other words, compared to those cunning men, her heart is still not ruthless enough, and she always thinks about the overall situation, so the idea of calming things will often prevail, and she will naturally be less aggressive.
Of course, most women are like this, even Li Xiuning is no exception.
While the men and horses were marching, Li Xiuning said to Chu Suiliang: "The enemy army is menacing, and Feng Yi is in danger...... I heard that Sun Wuji, the commander of Chang'an County, has a lot of people stationed there......"
Speaking of this, Li Xiuning smiled inexplicably, and Chu Sui's conscience trembled when he saw it, there was nothing wrong with admiring the beauty, but if the beauty could easily stretch out a finger and pinch you to death at any time, it would be a bit terrible.
At this time, Li Xiuning's emotions were not much simpler than Chu Suiliang's, and she actually had a vague premonition that after this war, the entanglement between the two families was afraid that there would be a result.
But isn't it, once Li Po crosses the river with his troops, Chang'an is just around the corner, how can he let it go? This was the route her father took to the south.
Although no one in Kansai can support tens of thousands of troops, but now the army under Li Po's command is not comparable to her father back then, and the outcome is really unpredictable...... In fact, in her opinion, Li Po's winning chance seems to be even greater.
She is not as entangled as others imagined, how many years have passed, she is also a little numb, and now seeing that the two families are going to fight to break the bloodstream, she can't be nervous.
The brothers turned against each other and wanted to kill each other, but the father watched indifferently, as if the death of his children in front of him could not make him shed a single tear.
What's even more hateful is that her friend, who is a confidant, now wants to lead the troops into Chang'an, kill all her family, or turn them all into slaves.
The world is very unfriendly to her, but she is powerless to fight anything, just like now, she is struggling to defend Yongfengcang, and she is so weak that she can't affect the overall situation at all.
is quite frustrated, and he only did his duty to bring the troops out...... It can be said that when the war is about to start, her mentality is extremely inappropriate, and it can also be said that she has never wanted to change anything......
