Chapter 287: Li Xiuning is back

、、、、、、、、、、

Yu Ming shook his head and said solemnly: "It's not for me, it's for our nation!" Let's talk about it bigger, it's for the Han people in the world......"

Speaking of this, he felt that he seemed to be a bit of a slogan, so he waved his hand and said, "Lord Wei, you just came back from other places, you must be very tired, go back and rest early...... It's the wax moon now, and after the New Year, we will have to prepare for a new battle next year! ”

After Wei Zheng listened, Fang got up and made a deep gesture, and then said goodbye and left.

Yu Ming stretched his waist and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the soldiers at the door came to report, saying that a woman and two men had come outside, saying that they wanted to see him.

"Let them in!" Yu Ming waved his hand. He was also a little curious, who would come to see him?

A moment later, a beautiful woman wearing a pink Luo skirt walked in. Behind her, there were two middle-aged men dressed as taxis, all of whom looked like they had gone on a long journey.

"Xiuning! It's you! You're finally back! After Yuming saw this woman, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he was overjoyed.

When he returned to Liaodong two months ago, he found that Li Xiuning, Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanzao's brothers did not come back. This made him anxious like an ant on a hot pan. So he instructed Red Sleeves to notify the Jinyi guards in the northwest region to look for Li Xiuning's whereabouts.

The subsequent payoff was a mixed bag. Li Xiuning and the others did not fall into the hands of Li Yuan and the Sui army, they safely went from Tongguan to Guanzhong, and then went north to Shuofang, entered the prairie through Hetao, and broke away from the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

According to the usual itinerary, they should have arrived in Liaodong a month ago, but they have never returned. This made Yu Ming anxious.

But fortunately, now that Li Xiuning and the Fang brothers have finally returned, the heavy stone in his heart has finally fallen.

"Husband, I've kept you waiting! We could have come back sooner! But in the grassland, I heard an urgent message...... In order to find out this news, we secretly went to the Turkic tent, and it was not easy to figure out the situation......" Li Xiuning's pretty face was also full of tiredness.

"What? You went to the Turkic tent? And not afraid of being caught by the Turks! Don't take that risk in the future! The matter of listening to the situation is done by the people of Jinyiwei, so how can you go to the Yue Yi to do it! When Yu Ming heard that Li Xiuning had actually gone to the Turkic tent, he was also angry and angry.

Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanzao bowed at this time, and said apologetically: "Marshal, it's not good to blame us for failing to persuade Madame." However, this matter is indeed urgent, it is related to the safety of Liaodong and Dasui, Madame took such a big risk, it is also for your safety, don't blame Madame! ”

Yu Ming's anger subsided slightly at this time, and then asked in a deep voice, "Xiuning, what important information have you discovered?" To take such a big risk? ”

Li Xiuning sighed lightly: "The Turks are about to go south to attack the Great Sui, this time it is the Eastern and Western Turks who joined forces, many tribes on the steppe have participated, and the total number of troops mobilized by Shibi Khan has reached more than 400,000 people, if they enter the Central Plains, the north will be devastated, I don't know how many surnames have died under the iron hooves of the Turks." ”

Then, she told her what she had heard.

It turned out that they were dressed as foot merchants, carrying dozens of cartloads of silk and porcelain, and when they arrived at the Hetao, a Turkic merchant came to buy them, wanting to exchange horses for their goods.

And this Turkic merchant bid very low and asked for a lot of goods, so naturally Li Xiuning and others were unwilling. So, the Turkic merchant said viciously: "You Han people still dare to be rampant, and when our Turkic army comes, I can snatch these things without money." ”

Originally, in the Hetao area, it was common for the Turks to buy and sell, kill people and rob people, and say cruel words. But Li Xiuning is keenly aware of the subtleties. How could an ordinary Turkic person say anything about the Turkic army coming in? At most, he will only say that if he doesn't sell it, he will kill people and sell more goods.

So, she took note of this man, and followed the Turkic merchant to his inn, subdued him, and tortured him severely.

The Turk was tortured before he revealed the truth. It turned out that his younger brother was a husband of the Ashina Department under Shibi Khan, and he had heard his brother say a few days ago that the Khan had asked them to prepare early, and after the beginning of spring, he would lead the two of them to conquer the Central Plains in person, and they would strive to reach Luoyang and capture Yang Guang. That's why he's so proud.

Li Xiuning was shocked when he heard this, because if the Turks wanted to attack the Central Plains, they would go south from Dingxiang, Yanmen and other places, conquer Loufu and Yuan, and only after sweeping Hedong did they arrive in Luoyang. And her father and brother happened to be stationed east of the river, and if the Turkic army went south, they would be the brunt of it.

So, Li Xiuning discussed with Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanzao, and prepared to go to the Turkic tent to inquire about the details of the Turkic army's southward movement.

Although Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanzao felt that this trip was very dangerous, they also realized that if the Turkic army really went south to the Central Plains, Yang Guang would no longer be able to attack Liaodong without flaws. It is even possible that the Sui army will fight with the Turks to defeat both sides. In this way, the Liaodong Army will be able to win the opportunity to strengthen itself.

Therefore, although the two did not agree with Li Xiuning going on the adventure in person, they did not object to going to the Turkic tent to listen to the news. They urged Li Xiuning to return to Liaodong first, and then his two brothers went to the Turkic tent to inquire about information.

But Li Xiuning refused, insisting on going to the Turkic tent by herself, and her reasons were also very good, she was proficient in Turkic language, and had gone to the Turkic tent with Li Yuan a few years ago, and she was familiar with the path. And although she is a woman, she has a body of martial arts. Although Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanzao can also understand Turkic language, they are both official backgrounds and do not know martial arts, so it is better for them to go to Turk to be safe.

In this way, Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanzao had to agree to Li Xiuning's request. Together, they led dozens of pro-soldiers and turned to the northwest.

After a long journey of half a month, they arrived at the Turkic tent as merchants in the Central Plains, and then sold the goods while inquiring for news. Finally, I finally heard what I wanted to know from a fifteen-year-old beautiful girl named Dong Li in Ashina.

It turned out that the Western Turkic Khan and the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan reached an alliance, and the two sides attacked the Central Plains together. The Western Turks attacked Dunhuang, Yiwu, and Jimi counties west of Guanlong. The Eastern Turks attacked the Hetao, Hedong, and Hebei regions.

Since the area of the Eastern Turkic attack was very important to the Sui Dynasty and the pressure it might face would be greater, the Western Turks agreed to give all the Jinshan pastures to the Eastern Turks for grazing, and at the same time allowed the Eastern Turkic merchants to sell goods from the Central Plains to the Persians and Dashi in the west through their territories. For such favorable conditions, Shibi Khan naturally threw the agreement signed with the Sui Dynasty out of the clouds.

"East Fence? Isn't it the daughter of the Turkic princess who is interested in herself, Shibi Khan? Yu Ming's mind immediately came up with the image of the innocent Turkic girl. Only she would be so scheming and revealed these important information to Li Xiuning.

"Xiuning, the information you brought back is very important! I think this may be a good opportunity for our Liaodong to develop and grow! Yu Ming said excitedly.

After the four of them talked for a while, Yu Mingfang said that he would raise the matter for discussion at the regular court meeting of the Liaodong camp tomorrow, and at the same time introduce them to the officials and generals of the camp.

Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanzao saw that it was getting late, so they took their leave. And Li Xiuning naturally stayed, stared at Yuming with pretty eyes, and asked softly, "Husband, how did you come back?" Is it dangerous? ”

Yu Ming shook his head slightly, and then Fang told him about his encounter with Mubashaf.

"This Great Food Messenger played a key role in my successful rescue of my eldest grandson. It stands to reason that Mubashaf should also go to Liaodong, but I don't know what happened to him, and he hasn't arrived yet. Yu Ming said with some concern.

"Maybe Mubashaf had some accidents. If he hadn't come up with some problems to make things difficult for the DPRK and Chinese officials, I guess you wouldn't have come out so quickly. Speaking of which, you have to thank him, too. Li Xiuning chuckled.

Yu Ming looked at the lover beside him, and saw that her eyes were bright, her pretty face was delicate and charming, her face was like condensation, her lips were like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyebrows were picturesque, she was indescribably soft and delicate, and with her slender and graceful figure, she was indeed a stunner in the world that made any man feel excited.

"That's right! Husband, we only held an engagement ceremony before, and we haven't officially married yet, I don't know when you plan to officially marry me? Li Xiuning asked with a look of resentment.

"Anytime! If you leave your father and brother and follow me to Liaodong, I can't bear you! Yu Ming said categorically: "If you want, we can officially hold the wedding tomorrow!" ”

Li Xiuning originally just wanted to test him, because after arriving in Liaodong, she found that in addition to the eldest grandson Wuji, her husband actually had the lady of Red Sleeves, and when she came to the Marshal's Mansion, she saw that the generals of the Liaodong Army were more respectful to Red Sleeves than to herself.

When she inquired later, she learned that Red Sleeves was Yuming's senior sister, and she had lived and died with him, fought on the battlefield together, and was still in the army, serving as the commander of the Jinyi Guard who specialized in collecting intelligence. No wonder the generals in the camp all looked at her differently.

Therefore, this made Li Xiuning suddenly feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

The eldest grandson Wuji is Yuming's Yuan distribution wife, born in the eldest grandson family of the Guanlong family, and his elder brother Changsun Wuji is now serving as the county guard of Jihe Silla in Liaodong and has been entrusted with important positions.

Red Sleeves is Yuming's senior sister, and she holds an important position in the army, and is deeply loved by the generals in the camp.

And after all the calculations, she has become the one with the shallowest background among Yuming's wives, which makes her a little worried about her future status in the family.
