Chapter 416 General Battle
No one knew that on the night of the last day of the fourteenth year of this great cause, Li Po, as the lord of the two states, completely threw off those scruples, and bent his bow and arrows to prepare for a real battle with the world's heroes.
It is said that the times create heroes, and some people say that heroes create the times.
No matter what you say, today, the trend of competing with others has become a success, and it is still a little too early for Li Po to say that it is fighting for the world, but Jindi is in front of him.
Moreover, most of the Jin land is still Li Tang's territory, even if Li Po does not believe in gods and ghosts, he has to sigh at this time, God's will is like this, what can I do?
In fact, if he hadn't started in Daizhou, with the Yellow River in the west, Taihang in the east, and the south of Jindi, which was quite wealthy, according to his "superb" foresight, maybe he would have simply changed his flag and voted for Li Tang, who was about to rise.
In this regard, there is indeed a little bit of providence to make people.
The imaginary grandeur of the Tang Dynasty faded away, and his not-so-commendable ambition finally broke through the already fragmented cage and raged in his chest and mind.
…………………………
As soon as the New Year passed, the sky immediately changed its face, the snow stopped, the wind stopped, the sky was clear, and the sun climbed into the sky leisurely.
The weather is good, and Jinyang City, which is quiet at the end of the year, gradually becomes lively on the first day of the new year.
With a little joy, people went out of the house, looked at the whiteness, and their mood became better.
Those who sweep the snow, go to relatives and friends, and some literati also began to be restless, and those who went out of the city together on a cold day to find a quiet place to enjoy the snow.
Several military camps outside the city, but on the contrary, the soldiers came in and out before the New Year's Pass, and it was very lively for a while, but as soon as the New Year's Pass passed, they were quietly on guard.
Because spring is coming, the Wei Mansion has issued a military order, the soldiers have stepped up their drills, and the military camps must not only do a good job in the defense of Jinyang, but also prepare to welcome the large army gathered from all the departments to settle in.
The grain and grass in the Jinyang warehouse must also be inspected by the soldiers accompanied by the Jinyang officials, and some warehouses must also be cleaned out.
This time the grain and grass transfer was still managed by Sima Wangqing, the governor of the mansion, but the two Wei mansions that had been built also intervened, but they were much more organized than the grassland in the north before.
Grain and grass will be allocated from Loufu and Yanmen, and the cattle and sheep in Mayi and Yuncai will enter Loufu and Yanmen to make up for their losses.
Immediately, Li Po ordered Yanmen to guard Yu Wenxin, and Duan Fang, the lieutenant of Yunnei County, led 500 soldiers, accompanied by Liu Jing, to select the relatives of Ashina Ellivo among the Turkic prisoners of war, and go north to the Turks to participate in the upcoming Turkic League meeting.
The so-called big gifts, Li Posi thought about it, he didn't have any Queen Xiao here, just gold and silver and other things, and people couldn't look down on them if they wanted to come.
It is better to send back the descendants of the Ashina clan captured in the previous wars, and the goodwill to be expressed should be enough.
But someone came to block Li Po again.
Princess Garan, Ah Shi Tianxiang is crooked and doesn't want to go back.
Li Bi asked, and then came to tell Li Po that Ashina Peony might have come to appease the crazy princess, and told her that after returning to the royal court, the khan had already chosen a husband for her, and he wanted to marry her to Ashina Qiuluo, Jieli Khan.
When Ah Shi Tianxiang heard this, he didn't feel any peace of mind, but he had even more resentment towards his mother.
Ashina Qiuluo, the son of Shibi Khan Ashina Jishi, according to the generation, it should be the nephew of Ashina Tianxiang, of course, this is not the point, the marriage within the Ashina clan never takes into account these ethical things.
The point is that Ashina Tianxiang knows that the person Ashina Qiuluo has always wanted to marry is Ashina's daughter, Ashina Anlan, another extraordinarily delicate flower among the Turks.
What would happen to her if she went to Ashnaqiura's tent? This reminded her of Ashina, this time she didn't admire any heroes, she only felt cold from head to toe.
Of course, staying in Sui Land is also a kind of torture for her, and the only benefit may be that the food and drink here are very good, right?
The so-called "lighter" of two evils, at least no one here forced her to marry......
In fact, the girl's idea is quite simple, she just wants to stay here for a while longer, and then go back when her mother changes her mind.
It's still the same old saying, if you're not afraid of no good things, you're afraid of no good people.
Li Bi was furious when she heard this, in her eyes, her husband stood up to the sky, and naturally he was a good man that no one in the world could compare.
If you go back on your word so far, even if you are a Turkic Khan, the eldest princess of the Great Sui will not succeed.
Moreover, she also has a strange logic, she doesn't like the women who have entered the governor's mansion, she doesn't like them very much, and she is very jealous, but if others want to covet her, she immediately becomes a food maniac.
treats Wang Qi like this, and treats Ah Shi Tianxiang is actually similar.
My husband doesn't want to marry, that's our own business, if you marry someone else, where will my family be?
Very unreasonable logic.
Of course, it was in this year that the reasonable people shrank their heads, and only the unreasonable people were left hanging outside.
So, while discussing with Li Po, she said that Princess Garan had a very strong intention, and she couldn't be tied up and sent to the royal court, so what happened? It's better to stay in the mansion first, and it can make that khan have a little scruples, right?
Li Po felt that what his wife said made some sense, so he handed it over to his wife to deal with.
In fact, according to Li Po's idea, it is not bad to leave a hostage, and if necessary, the matter of asking to marry a Turkic princess will be done.
In this regard, he is similar to many men in these years, neither being fascinated by anyone, nor hesitating to look ahead.
The pros and cons are all in his heart, and like many major events, there is no need for others to push or dissuade him.
But Li Bi is different from others, her power also exceeds that of many boudoir women, she is never ambiguous in major matters, and she has followed Li Po all the way, and in the eyes of the officials and generals of the two states, her status is extraordinary.
In a word, people have their own prestige.
So, the family stabilized her husband first, and when she turned around, she sent a secret letter to Yu Wenxin, asking him to talk to the Turkic Khan about the marriage between the two families when he was an envoy to the Turks.
Well, Li Po really didn't expect his wife to kick him in the back.
And the only thing that Li Bi has to worry about is that Ah Shi's Tianxiang status is too noble, and when it comes to marriage, will people spy on her housewife?
Therefore, the letter to Yu Wenxin is a bit long, and the words are more euphemistic, Yu Wenxin, who is in Yanmen, is already a little big, and at such a time he left Yanmen to envoy the Turks, was he reused, or was he punished?
When he received Li Bi's letter, he was a little bit of a wax.
Obviously, this envoy was involved in the Li family's affairs, the only thing that made him a little strange was that the two letters seemed to be a bit reversed, the man was not fascinated by women, but the woman was in a hurry to find a mother-in-law for her man, what does this mean?
Of course, Yu Wenxin is also very human, this is a guy who is used to looking for opportunities in crises, although his mind is full of paste, but soon after, he took people north to join Duan Fang with high morale.
At this time, what he was thinking and thinking was completely different from before, no matter how difficult things were, he Yu Wenxin could do it properly, and he showed his true character as a man.
And the Turkic Alliance, I can see it once in my lifetime, travel among countless Turkic magnates, and the eldest husband can encounter such a rare opportunity, and I have no regrets in this life.
It sounds like self-comfort, but compared with the melancholy Dugu Huaien, it is obvious that Yuwenxin is more than a step ahead.
…………………………
After the episode, Li Po put the matter aside, because no matter what he thought, the Turks would not stab him in the back during the year.
When the city by the Cangshui River is built, and the county towns of Yunnei and Mayi become horns, it will not be so easy for the Turks to go south from Daizhou.
Originally, he also wanted to take Yunnei out and Lingqiu together to divide a single county, in addition to guarding the Flying Fox Pass, he could also defend against the Turks.
Later, because he wanted to build a city by the Cangshui River, he gave up.
The atmosphere of the war gradually became thicker, and this time there would be no more schemes, and the Tang army, which was close at hand, was probably also planning to recapture Jinyang Jiancheng.
But they don't act rashly.
In fact, Jinyang took the initiative to send troops south, which was something that the Tang army was willing to see, because in the face of Jinyang Jiancheng, they had nothing to do.
The change of hands in a big city like Jinyang, generally speaking, is the final result of various reasons, and leading troops to attack is the most stupid method.
Detecting the movements of the Tang army is the first step in the beginning of the war, the weather is still too cold, there is no need to let the soldiers suffer, and there is no need to let the Tang army be alert at this time.
In fact, both sides understand that this year's war will be inevitable, and when it will start, the initiative is firmly in Li Po's hands.
The pace of the war is gradually becoming clear, and the military orders of the Governor's Office and the Guard Mansion are being drafted.
Li Po immediately ordered Xue Wanjun, the military training ambassador in Yanmen, to come to Jinyang to replace Li Bi as Sima of the Governor's Office, in charge of military law, recruitment, and military training.
Then he sent an order to Chen Yuan, the lieutenant of Mayi County, to summon the Mabu army of all Mayi units, and when the weather was a little warmer, he immediately set off for the south.
And Liu Jingsheng, the lieutenant of Yanmen County, and Wang Zhibian, the lieutenant of Loufu County, also received the same order.
This is not the first time Li Po has led the army to take the initiative to attack, but there is no doubt that this dispatch is of great significance, and the Ma Bu Army will also fight together, and the scale of mobilization is not comparable to any previous war.
What kind of extent did the armies of the two states meet, and when the army gathers, you can clearly see it.
Since the pacification of the two states, the military system of the government has been slowly unfolding, and there has been no military mobilization, and this war can only be said to have transferred most of the standing troops and horses of the two states.
