Chapter 100: Twin Flowers
In Guo Li's previous life, there were many stars from Xinjiang, and each of them was dazzling, bright and moving. Now when I see a pair of stunning twin sisters, I can't help but take a few more looks.
"These are the two twin granddaughters, Fatuna and Fatini." After speaking, the old man Zaro gestured to his two granddaughters.
"Fatuna is willing to serve the benefactor of the Hui people"
"Fadini is willing to serve the benefactor of the Hui people"
Oh my God, Guo Li's blood rose instantly. These two little Loli are not yet fifteen years old, just like eighteen-year-old women in their previous lives.
The Uighurs use beauty tricks? Guo Li thought about it, if it was just two twin sisters, it was obvious that he would not be able to agree to the request of the Hui clan. This matter spread to the temple, and the imperial history didn't tear him up and feed him to the dogs? If Princess Wan'an knows, these two delicate flowers may soon wither under the wind and rain.
"Father said that the adults are fighting with Tibet, and Hui Hui is willing to send 5,000 troops to help the adults fight back against Tibet."
Five thousand?
Guo Li's biggest concern now is the lack of troops, and 5,000 people is undoubtedly equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow. However, the Uighurs seem to have some room to spare. As soon as you open your mouth, there are 5,000 people, and you should be able to ask for more.
"Ten thousand warriors, as for the two twin sisters, please bring them back to the old man Zaro."
When the twin sisters heard that Guo Li didn't want them, I felt sorry for the pear blossoms when they brought rain.
"Obey the benefactor's wishes, but these two sisters still stay to serve the lord, 10,000 returning soldiers, and arrive at Ren Benefactor's dispatch within ten days."
Mo Yan took the old man Zaro away, leaving behind two twin little Lori. Gao Jicoop saw the sister flowers, and left with Mo Yan very interestingly.
"My lord, when the spies came to report that Ningcheng was broken, all the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty were killed, and 30,000 Tubo people were camped two miles outside the city."
"Dashuai, the last general asked for an order to lead 10,000 elite horsemen to fight, the Tubo black horse is a dragon in the Western Regions, and it can only be a worm when it reaches the realm of the Tang Dynasty." The words of the tall chicken coop caused the soldiers to laugh.
In the meeting hall of the Ganzhou General's Mansion, Guo Li, the general of the West of the West, Wang Shouzhen, the general of Ganzhou, the general Gao Jicoop, Meng Haoran, Li Guangbi, and more than a dozen captains of Ganzhou gathered together to study how to recover Ningcheng.
"Ziyi, might as well make a tentative attack?"
"How many troops are there in Ganzhou?" Guo Li asked. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, there are 50,000 people on the surface of Tubo, and the rest of the troops are in Qinghai, which is only a day's journey from Ningcheng.
"30,000 in Ganzhou, General Gao brought 10,000, and 1,000 in Li Duwei as a personal guard regiment, a total of 40,000." Wang Shouzhen reported.
40,000 against 50,000, and still to attack the city? This kind of play Guo Li naturally won't do. Even if the Tang army is brave, the loss is not small. There are still 150,000 Tubo troops outside who don't know when they will join the war group, Ningcheng is just an empty city, let the Tubo people stay for a few days first. The 10,000 grassland warriors who returned to the country arrived in a few days, and this new force should not be underestimated.
"How many soldiers and horses are there in Shazhou and Suzhou?"
"The generals of Shazhou and Suzhou have already sent people to ask the marshal, how many military horses need to be dispatched?"
"Why is that?" Guo Li was a little puzzled, there have always been only soldiers who are difficult to transfer, but he didn't expect Shazhou and Suzhou to take the initiative to ask.
"There is a shortage of grain and grass in the army, and the generals of these two states sent people to assist the marshal and solve the problem of grain and grass by the way."
"Give them a reply and stay still. Wait for Liu Tingshi's grain and grass to arrive, and transport 50,000 stones to them. How to fight, Ben Shuai is still thinking about it. ”
"Dashuai, when will Ningcheng be recovered?" A lieutenant in Ganzhou asked. All the relatives of this lieutenant in Ningcheng were killed, and he only waited for Guo Li to give an order to kill him back to Ningcheng.
"Hold still." Guo Li's decision caused a lot of discussion among the soldiers.
"The marshal only needs to give the general 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he will definitely recover Ningcheng."
"Isn't the handsome man afraid of Tibet? Tens of thousands of people in Ningcheng can't die in vain. ”
"It is rumored that the commander is like a god with soldiers, and it seems that this is nothing more than that."
There were different opinions, Wang Shouzhen stood up and looked around, and the sound of discussion disappeared.
"Whoever offends my Tang Dynasty will be punished. The mood of the generals can be understood. It's just that at this moment, the battle for Ningcheng is over, and Ben Shuai believes that with the ability of all the soldiers, it can be recaptured, who can guarantee that Ningcheng can be recaptured with very few casualties? Yesterday, Ben Shuai burned the Tubo grain cart on the way to Ganzhou, presumably Tubo is worried about grain in recent days, General Wang sent scouts to investigate everywhere, once found the Tubo grain cart quickly reported. ”
The soldiers no longer complained, it was obvious that no one could take Ningcheng and ensure that the casualties were not large. 50,000 Tibetan cavalry, even if 50,000 pigs are placed there, they will kill for half a day.
For several days, Guo Li, Wang Shouzhen, Meng Haoran, and Li Guangbi were in the general's mansion to plan for the map.
Although Murong Xihao promised Tuyuhun to fight back when Tubo was defeated, this premise was that the Tang Dynasty defeated Tubo, and it was defeated neatly. The fate of the Tuyuhun people is finally in the hands of Murong Yichao, and only by letting the patriarch of Tuyuhun see the majesty of the Tang Dynasty can Tuyuhun turn against Tubo before the battle and deal a fatal blow to Tubo.
"If troops are sent to attack and occupy Ningcheng, Tubo will roughly retreat to Qinghai and rely on the terrain of Dafeichuan to fight a decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty. The Tubo people want to occupy Wuwei or Ganzhou, but the Tubo people will not continue to have food and grass, and I am afraid that there will be actions in the near future. ”
"Send scouts to pay close attention to the movements of Tibet."
Guo Li called Li Guangbi and quietly arranged a task for him.
"Is Baguio good?" Wang Shouzhen asked.
After coming to Ganzhou for a few days, Wang Shouzhen asked Baguio for the first time.
"Baguio is okay, Shouzhen will be an uncle in a few months." Guo Li said with a smile.
So fast? Wang Shouzhen was obviously a little surprised.
"Is the eldest sister okay?"
Guo Li knew that Wang Shouzhen was asking Queen Wang.
A deposed queen stays in the Yeting Palace, how good can she be? Guo Li didn't know that Queen Wang was already infected with typhoid fever at this moment, and her life was not long.
"Can you complain about the emperor in your heart?"
"It has long been rumored that the emperor was too ruthless, and he was demoted to a concubine and given to defend one. I don't think about the love between husband and wife at all. ”
When these words were only two people alone, Wang Shouzhen opened his heart and said what was in his heart.
"Today's emperor is not inferior to Taizong's martial arts, but he is so happy and lazy, unlike Taizong's single-minded treatment of Empress Changsun."
"I heard that the Shoumeng went back? Can you see it? ”
"After staying in the prison of the Criminal Department, Sanru was suddenly ordered by the emperor to go west, and when he went home, he saw Baguio. Shoumeng returned to Wang's house at that time, and heard Baguio say that Shoumeng is now a different driver. ”
"The number of Shouyi in the family is the most sensible, and the relationship with several brothers and sisters is very good, and I didn't want to die young. What's going on with Princess Ziyi's indecent manners? There are many rumors outside, and it is not enough to believe it. When Wang Shouzhen sighed, he suddenly thought of Guo Li's indecent princess.
"Princess Wan'an doesn't want to get married, she doesn't want to be self-defeating. Fortunately, thanks to Wan'an's protests, otherwise he would never have seen the truth again. Guo Li said a few words simply. The hidden story is complicated, if Guo Li tells Wang Shouzhen that Princess Wan'an will marry Guo Li soon, I am afraid that Wang Shouzhen will not be able to believe it.
"I heard that Princess Wan'an and the eldest prince are on good terms?" Wang Shouzhen asked. It involves royalty, and can only be talked about with those closest to you.
"Wan An and the eldest prince are compatriots, so they will naturally go to the eldest prince. But did Shouzhen ever think about returning to Beijing to take up a post? ”
"Back to Beijing?" Wang Shouzhen thought for a while, "Once you return to Beijing, you can't help yourself, and you will be involved in a lot of struggles. Is it farther than the Tiangao Emperor in Ganzhou? ”
Unlike Wang Shouzhen, Guo Li wanted to settle the war and return to Beijing as soon as possible. Baguio will give birth in a few months, and Guo Li doesn't want Baguio to not see her husband present at that time.
Thinking of Baguio, the shadow of spring water appeared in Guo Li's mind. This Nizi, on the execution ground, did not forget to tease her aunt.
……
The back house of Guo's house.
"Miss, there are rumors about my uncle."
"Chunshui, what news did you hear?"
"After Tubo broke through Ningcheng, my uncle led the army to attack Tubo grain trucks and won a great victory."
Baguio gently stroked the obviously bulging belly, feeling the constant noise of life in the belly.
"Little Guo Yao, my father is fighting outside, and when the battle is over, the baby should be born."
"Miss, will my uncle be merry outside?" Chunshui worried.
"The girl is talking nonsense, and when the husband comes back, she will accept you." Baguio probably saw that Chunshui was interested in Guo Li, but he intended to match it all. Chunshui thought about it, even if my uncle didn't eat it in his mouth, how could he get flowers and grass?
"Isn't it clear that the two of us can't tell the difference, Fadini and Fatuna mean charm in the Hui language." After seeing the old man Zaro leave, the two Loli stood on the left and right sides of Guo Li one by one, like two generals. Although the woman in front of her is beautiful and delicious, Guo Li has no intention of being light. Shicai and Meng Haoran were discussing the strategy of retaking Ningcheng when they were interrupted by the high chicken coop. With the two little loli by his side, Meng Haoran put away the map and found an excuse to go out for a walk.
Mo said that it was clear who was who, but the names of these two women were rather awkward. Guo Li wanted to change the names of the two women to the Central Plains, Ji Xiang Ruyi was Wan'an's maidservant, and Chunshui Xiajiang was Baguio's maidservant, Guo Li suddenly thought of a great name.
"Law... Tuna, Fa..., the names of the two of you are too awkward, it is better to call them Guli. Naza. ”
The name of Guo Li's Xinjiang female star in his previous life is very suitable for twin women.
"Guli, Naza? Why do adults understand Hui language? Guli means flower, and Nazha means look. The adult's name is so nice, but who is Guli and who is Nazha? The two little Lori were not embarrassed to change their names at all.
"Which of you two is older and who is Guli." Only then did Guo Li know that Guli, Nazha means a flower-like appearance.
The two little Loli laughed and said in unison: "My lord, we are the same age." ”
Fadini thought for a while and said, "It seems that Grandma said that Fatuna came out first." That's that Fatuna is a little older. I'm Naza......"
Fatuna can only identify herself as Guli.
Only then did Guo Li distinguish who was big and who was small. Fatuna in red turban is Guli, and Fatini in pink turban is Nazha.
The arrival of the twin flower sisters made the general's mansion full of life. In the huge General's Mansion, Wang Shouzhen did not bring his family, and it was usually deserted, only the guards and the stewards in the General's Mansion. Guo Li brought two guards, Jianhu and Ge Shuhan, who were said to have sworn to protect Lord Guo to the death. Who knows what happened to Jianhu and Ge Shuhan, so they listened to the words of the servant Bone Huaien and appointed themselves as Guo Li's personal guards. Jianhu and Ge Shuhan are still only sixteen or seventeen guys, and they are ignorant about how they treat men and women. No wonder these two young people, Gu Li and Nazha, were born with water spirits, which are very different from the women of the Central Plains.
Guo Li is happy to see this happen.
The two sisters of the water spirit picked them against their hearts and put them into the sky. It just so happened that Jianhu and Ge Shuhan were interested, and Guo Li thought that the two young men and the two twin sisters had been together for a long time, so they naturally had feelings. When the time comes, being a ready-made matchmaker will have a sense of accomplishment compared to Meng Haoran's cheap matchmaker. Who knew that just two days later, Guo Li found that the atmosphere was not right, the two girls Gu Li and Nazha were like withered petals and were lifeless, and Jian Hu and Ge Shuhan stood at the door without saying a word.
What's going on?
If this development continues, I am afraid that the fate of the four people will be gone.
"Guli, Naza, why haven't you played with Sword Lake Brother Shuhan recently?"
"They don't play with us sisters, they say we're grown women." Nazha said.
"What do you think of the two of them?" Guo Li asked.
"Gu Li likes Sword Lake, who knows what point of Sword Lake attracts Gu Li, the whole thing is a stuffy gourd."
"Nazha likes Goshuhan?"
"Nazha and Goshuhan went out on the street together." Guli revealed.
"What's wrong with going to the street, Ganzhou is much bigger than Hunhe Prefecture." Nazha retorted.
Guo Li understood that these two boys must have heard from someone who said that the sisters had a master, so they deliberately alienated these two sisters.
"Jianhu, Ge Shuhan, you two boys get Ben Shuai in."
Jianhu and Geshuhan came in through the door, and the two of them lowered their heads and did not speak.
"Jianhu, do you like Guli?" Jianhu didn't squeak, he knew that this young man didn't like to talk, he didn't have a good impression of him, and if he wanted to open a breakthrough, he had to get from Orion Brother Shuhan.
"Geshuhan, do you like Naza?" When Guo Li asked Ge Shuhan, Nazha showed an expectant expression.
Ge Shuhan heard that the two sisters were gifts from the Hui clan to the handsome, and he knew that he could not exceed the rules. At this moment, Guo Li asked, and Ge Shuhan answered truthfully.
"I know their sisters are handsome people."
"Who said they were the handsome people? Today, Ben Shuai is in charge, Jianhu and Guli, Ge Shuhan and Nazha, and you will get married after the battle. ”
Jianhu opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Ge Shuhan was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
On that day, my father and brother went to the neighboring village to be hired, but they didn't expect to encounter the invasion of Tuyuhun Xingbing. Ge Shuhan's father was killed, and his brother escaped, and his brother was envious when he heard that Ge Shuhan had entered the Liangshan regiment, so he asked Ge Shuhan to work hard in the army and strive to become an official and a half-job. Ge Shuhan thinks differently from his father and brother, and just wants to be a guard by Guo Li's side. Adults use soldiers like gods, and Ge Shuhan wants to learn more about the way to use soldiers. Geshuhan secretly has a love for Nazha. The two sisters are generally good-looking, and Nazabi's sister is much more lively. Gu Li has a calm temperament, but he values Chongjian Lake's taciturnity. Since the adult is a matchmaker, Ge Shuhan can't ask for it.
Gu Li, Nazha was a little shy, and thanked Guo Li.
After solving the matter of the sisters, Guo Li was in a good mood and called Wang Shouzhen, Gao Jixiao, Meng Haoran and others to discuss military affairs.
"Secret report: The Tibetan army is stationed between Qinghai and Dafeichuan." Meng Haoran brought good news.
Opening the map, Meng Haoran drew a circle between Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan. This place is indeed suitable for a large army to be stationed, Guo Li remembers that Qinghai Lake is a saltwater lake, how can Tubo solve the problem of drinking water?
"Yellow River." Meng Haoran pointed to the map, and the Tubo people were obviously stationed in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
There are 50,000 Tibetans in Ningcheng, and the remaining 150,000 Tibetans are all staying here. It seems that it is indeed as Meng Haoran said, the purpose of Tubo coming to invade the Tang Dynasty is to cut off the connection between Chide Zampu and the Tang Dynasty, and it is not necessarily to attack the Tang Dynasty to obtain any specific benefits. Now that the Tang Dynasty is in the heyday of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Tubo is powerless to shake it.
In this case, if you dare to invade Datang, you will not be able to return.
"Report, Shanzhou Liu Tingshi sent someone to report the military situation."
After a while, a lieutenant came in and saw Guo Li hurriedly saluting.
"I came to report to the order of Liu Tingshi, and Shanzhou raised 300,000 stones of grain, which could not be transported to Ganzhou."
After Ningcheng was broken, the traffic between Ganzhou and Shanzhou was cut off. If the grain and grass are escorted to Ganzhou, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be plundered by the Tibetans.
"Report, 10,000 Hui rode outside the city of Ganzhou, saying that they came to meet on the orders of the marshal."
"Is there any news from Li Guangbi?" Guo Li asked Meng Haoran.
Li Guangbi has been sent out by Guo Li for many days, and no news has been sent back so far. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the time to recover Ningcheng is coming soon.
