Everyone looked up and saw that it was the Red Lady and Xiaoqing, Yizhimei arrived, and the three of them lived together and were inseparable. 【Latest chapter reading. Li Yan saw that it was them, and he was embarrassed. His face turned red all at once.

The three female generals walked in and saw Zhang Yi and Bai Qi, Zhang Yi smiled: "The red girl came just in time, it seems that you have to come forward for this matter." ”

The red lady found a chair to sit on, and then said to Li Yan with a smile: "Childe, since Miss Xiangjun has this intention, it is better to fulfill her." ”

Zhang Yi and Li Yanbai were taken aback, they didn't expect the red lady to be so generous, and they agreed without thinking. You must know that although concubines were allowed in that era, there were many wives who opposed their husbands' concubines. Besides, there was Tang Sai'er's incident in advance, and the three of them thought that the red lady would be disgusted by this matter, but they didn't expect her to be so happy.

In fact, the attitude of the red lady is not a whim, because since this year, Li Xiangjun has been deliberately approaching these three female generals.

Li Xiangjun is a girl with a lot of ideas, she can see it very clearly, Li Yan's favorite person is the red lady, if you want to marry only her, Li Yan can definitely do it. That Don Sayle is an example. Therefore, Li Xiangjun decided not to be like Tang Sai'er, competing with the red lady and being jealous.

Therefore, Li Xiangjun has been in contact with the Red Lady for a long time, and she is young, and she is not petty, she comes and goes, and she is very liked by the Red Lady and Xiaoqing. In fact, the red lady didn't care too much about these things, Xiaoqing used to blow the wind in her ears, and Li Xiangjun even saw this very clearly, so she obeyed Xiaoqing's words, and the two of them got along very well.

Therefore, a few months ago, Li Xiangjun once mentioned her meaning to Xiaoqing, and she didn't tell the red lady in person, which shows that she understands women's minds very well.

Xiaoqing is not stupid, she can see that Li Xiangjun is going around in a circle, and she wants to ask for the consent of the red lady. It stands to reason that there was such a person in the past, who was the rival of the Red Lady, Xiaoqing must have pressed this fire in advance, but this time it was different, Xiaoqing felt that Li Xiangjun was an excellent girl, and would never threaten the status of the Red Lady, and more importantly, if Li Yan married these two women, the Red Lady was the wife, and Li Xiangjun was the concubine, then Tang Sai'er, who ran away, would never have a chance again. That's a great thing.

Although men at that time could accept many concubines, there were also concubines with different ranks, and their titles were different, from high to low, with two rooms, aunts, and girls. In fact, the Red Lady and Xiaoqing had already discussed this issue in private, with Li Yan's character and talent, coupled with his status in the Qin army, he would only marry the Red Lady for the rest of his life, and never accept concubines, and even the Red Lady was aggrieved for Li Yan.

This is not nonsense, at that time in many families, the wife would support her husband to take a concubine, one is to have children for the family, after all, the ancients had a strong sense of continuation of incense. Then there are those famous families, there are many family affairs, and the wife is too busy to be alone, so she needs the help of the concubine.

The Red Lady is an exception, she was born poor, and her father has never taken a concubine for several generations, so before joining the Qin army, she was very disgusted with this matter. But after Tang Sai'er's incident, the red lady's mind changed, thinking that it was okay for a man to take a concubine.

As long as the wife is himself, what is there to be afraid of taking a concubine.

In ancient times, the hierarchy of the main wife and the concubine was extremely clear, and the concubine clan could not be compared with the main wife no matter what, and it was even more impossible to be jealous. If a concubine wants to straighten out and become a wife, she can only wait until her wife dies or is divorced. And it is not easy for a man to divorce his wife.

Therefore, once you become a wife, the status is almost unshakable.

Besides, the red lady is also a general of the Qin army, and she is very capable, and after getting married, she will not follow Li Yan all day long, so someone must take care of Li Yan's life. And the best way to solve this problem is to take a concubine.

The red lady thought that since she wanted Li Yan to take a concubine, she must choose the person she likes.

Li Xiangjun is what he likes. This woman knows the general situation, understands the rules, is gentle and graceful, and is suitable for Li Yan. Therefore, Li Xiangjun has long been here with the Red Lady and Xiaoqing, and has been licensed.

As for Li Yan's side, Li Xiangjun didn't care at all, she knew very well that the Red Lady was Li Yan's savior, and as long as the Red Lady agreed, Li Yan would naturally agree.

Li Yan looked at the red lady and Xiaoqing, and said in surprise: "What are you kidding?" I've never thought about taking a concubine. Xiaoqing grinned: "I know, didn't the prime minister and the general also say it, you promise to come down first, so as not to hurt people's hearts......" Li Yan was still very embarrassed: "Are you chasing ducks to the shelves?" thinks Li Yan is a womanizer. ”

Everyone laughed, and Yizhimei said: "Li Gongzi is naturally not lustful, but this has nothing to do with taking concubines." You are now a senior official of our Qin army, and you don't have a three-bedroom or four-room family at home, so you can't say it. ”

Li Yan was a little angry: "This matter can't be so hasty, you must know that it is easy for me to agree, but this is the happiness of Miss Xiangjun's life, in case she is just less and nothing more, the love is budding, and when she grows up in the future, she will see the person she likes, wouldn't it be a mistake." ”

Bai Qi said: "I didn't say it. If so, Childe can regret his marriage at any time. We don't care. Besides, in my guess, she won't meet someone she likes more. ”

Everyone gossiped and persuaded Li Yan one after another, making Li Yan cry and laugh.

At this moment, a personal soldier suddenly ran in, bowed his hand to everyone, and then said to Li Yan: "Son, the king has an invitation, and I want you to enter the palace to discuss matters together." ”

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stood up: "Let's discuss this matter later, let's go to the king first, there should be important military information." ”

It was difficult for everyone to continue, so they went out of Li Yan's mansion together, got on their horses and ran to King Qin's mansion.

The red lady urged the horse to come to Bai Zhi's side, and said in a low voice: "General, you go back and tell Sister Xiangjun, just say that Li Gongzi agreed." ”

Bai Qi smiled and said, "Can the red girl cut first and then play." I'm not afraid that Li Gongzi will be angry. The red lady has a big package: "No question, Sister Xiangjun is a virtuous helper, Li Gongzi will definitely like it." What's going on, I'm here. ”

Bai Qi was relieved, and everyone came to King Qin's mansion together to meet King Qin.

The crowd had just left here not long ago, and it was needless to say that there must be something important to be summoned so soon.

Sure enough, as soon as King Qin saw everyone, he handed them a secret report.

It turned out that this was sent by the Qin army's meticulous work in Shanxi. The fine work sent by the Qin army in Shanxi has already blended into Hong Chengchou's men and horses and made him a low-level quartermaster. According to the news he received, Chongzhen had just issued a secret order to Hong Chengchou, telling him to rush to Liaodong and prepare to meet the Qing army.

Because the Manchu Qing had already made some moves, they wanted to take the only two remaining cities of the Ming army outside the pass, Jinzhou and Ningyuan. Chongzhen knew that if these two cities were lost, the Ming army would lose the entire Liaodong. The Qing army will reach Shanhaiguan and threaten Beijing.

At this time, Chongzhen could only choose Hong Chengchou.

Sun Chuanting has just been defeated and is recovering from the war, not to mention that there is an even greater threat that he needs to deal with, that is, Li Zicheng in Henan.

Since the Qing army was preparing to attack Jinzhou and Ningyuan, Shanxi was safe, so Chongzhen was constipated and sent Hong Chengchou to Liaodong to supervise the battle.

As for Shanxi's defense, Chongzhen ordered Wang Qiaonian, the governor of the three sides and governor of Shaanxi, who had been appointed not long ago, to take over, because Wang Qiaonian could not go to Shaanxi to take up his post, so he stayed in Shanxi, commanding the two generals who had been defeated from Jingbian, Li Yuan and Zhang Shaozuo, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. It is also very convenient to let Wang Qiaonian take over on the spot.

When Qin Jun's meticulous work heard the news, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately secretly reported it to King Qin.

Therefore, the king of Qin quickly gathered everyone and came to discuss countermeasures.

Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and said: "King, Hong Chengchou left Shanxi to go to Liaodong, this is also something that the court has no way to do, the current Ming Dynasty is to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, Hong Chengchou is gone, Shanxi has changed from a wolf to a fat sheep." It was the time when our Qin army attacked. ”

King Qin said: "Hong Chengchou is far-sighted, when he leaves, he will not leave no people, and maybe he will leave some clever plans, you know, Hong Chengchou has always been uneasy about my Qin army." ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "Since the court is urgently summoning Hong Chengchou to Liaodong, Weichen thinks that Hong Chengchou is only afraid that he will not have time to think of any good plan to deal with my Qin army." After Chongzhen appointed him as the governor of the three sides, he once sent many forces of men and horses to infiltrate the pass, attack everywhere, and make a lot of trouble in my pass. Later, we implemented the integration of military hoarding and civilian hoarding, which drove out a small group of officers and soldiers. Therefore, I think that this person should not be taken lightly. ”

Bai Qi said: "When Hong Chengchou leaves, he must suggest that Wang Qiaonian be more wary of our army, so if you want to attack Shanxi, you must also have a very thorough plan." Moreover, although our Qin army has 100,000 horses at this time, it is still not sufficient. Hanzhong has just put down the rebellion and needs stability, and at this time to attack Shanxi, there are not many men and horses that can be mobilized. ”

King Qin said: "Hong Chengchou went to Liaodong and started a war with the Manchu Tartars, this battle must be earth-shattering and related to the lifeblood of the court, so in the short term, Hong Chengchou will not be able to return to Shanxi." This is a good opportunity, not to be missed, not to be missed, not to be lost, even if the troops are insufficient, to be prepared. When necessary, you can borrow troops from Li Zicheng. ”

This statement was very unexpected to everyone, and Li Yan didn't understand it for a while: "King, at this time, Li Zicheng has just finished a vicious battle, although he defeated Sun Chuanting, but I heard that it was defeated first and then won, and the peasant army lost a lot of men and horses. ”

Bai Qi also said: "Besides, Li Zicheng still has to besiege Kaifeng, and he also needs a lot of troops. There's a good chance you won't be able to pull out people."
