Chapter 3

Because it's a really special meow, you can't beat it!

But this was the Khan's order, which he had to obey.

Fortunately, the Tang army has been far away and did not choose to attack head-on, as if looking for opportunities.

Actually, it's not that Li Su doesn't want to fight.

Li Su was still ready to fight another dozen and continue to scare and scare them.

But helplessly, in the past few days, Tang Jun has eaten a lot of meat and drank milk tea every day.

One day or two, it is a rare delicacy.

Three days and four days, I can barely bear it.

But now I eat like this every day, and my stomach can't stand it.

At present, many soldiers in the army have diarrhea of varying degrees.

Other soldiers also began to be uncomfortable in various situations.

Changes in eating habits will change the flora in the stomach and intestines, which will cause people to be weak to varying degrees.

Now the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army has declined by more than a notch.

If you really want to be tough, in the end, it's really hard to say who wins and who loses.

In the past, when the Tang Dynasty conquered the grassland, they all brought grain and grass by themselves.

It's not like eating meat and drinking milk in a big bowl every day.

It seems that there are pros and cons to fighting on the grassland!

At this time, Li Su no longer wanted to continue fighting, and already wanted to retreat.

However, if they retreat like this, once Xue Yantuo discovers their situation.

Their situation could become very dangerous.

They are too deep now, and once they are stuck by Xue Yantuo, the consequences are really difficult to predict.

Therefore, now Li Sucai is leading the army, and he is closely embellished behind Xue Yantuo's army.

Just to keep them from being suspicious.

After chasing for two days and chasing more than 200 miles, Li Su led the army and hurriedly returned.

When he came back this time, Li Su took all the herdsmen of the tribes they passed by along the way with him when they came.

The herdsmen of these tribes, because of their cattle, sheep and horses, were all killed, and they could not walk away if they wanted to in the vast grassland.

If it is to move by walking, they have so many things in each family, and they don't know that they can only go out in the year of the monkey.

Besides, where can they go?

They have lost all their livestock, and the last glimmer of hope in life has been completely destroyed.

They have no way out, and they are almost left to wait for death in the tribe.

Therefore, when the Tang army brings it again, it is time to leave with them.

There are many herdsmen who have a faint feeling of gratitude in their hearts.

Although all these of them were brought to them by the Tang Army.

But the relationship between them is hostile, and there is nothing wrong with them doing this.

And now to take them away, anyway, it saved their lives.

These tribes, having lost all their livestock, had to rely on foot.

In terms of speed, of course, it is much slower.

Fortunately, all the animals of their tribe were slaughtered and processed into rations.

They were on the way, but they didn't worry about eating and drinking.

Along the way, all the Xue Yantuo herdsmen who passed by on the road in the future tense were all taken away.

In the end, there were more than 50,000 people.

If you add the more than 30,000 Xue Yantuo soldiers who were captured at the beginning, this time, they captured their population of 120,000.

When I went, it only took me a little more than a month.

When I came back, it took more than four months to bring everyone out.

When I went, it was early summer, and when I came back, it was already winter.

This time, the battle against Xue Yantuo.

The Tang Dynasty killed Xue Yantuo's 120,000 troops and captured Xue Yantuo's 120,000 horses.

The Xue Yantuo tribe was driven all the way to Saibei.

On the Datang side, the number of dead and wounded was only five or six thousand.

Such a great victory, throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, is really rare and unmatched.

Eh, that is, the last battle of the King of Shu against the invasion of the Great Food Empire, it can barely be compared.

When he returned, the imperial court had already sent a large army to receive prisoners.

The other four soldiers and horses were originally temporarily seconded near Shuozhou.

At this time, all returned to the original army.

Li Su only had the 50,000 Yizhou army led by Wang Fangyi.

The 50,000 Yizhou army, among the entire army, suffered the least casualties.

The Tang Dynasty's 250,000-strong army suffered five or six thousand casualties.

The casualties of the Yizhou Army were only less than 100 people.

Suffice it to say, their casualties were less than a tenth.

In the past few years, the military uniforms of the Datang army have been continuously improved and are very sophisticated.

But the military uniform of the Yizhou Army is undoubtedly the best.

At the same time, the training intensity, food costs, and military salaries of each soldier of the Yizhou Army are all the best in the Tang Dynasty.

That's why they can achieve such impressive results.

When Li Su led Wang Fangyi and other major generals into Chang'an.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him at the city gate.

When he arrived at the court, Li Shimin rewarded the heroes without mentioning it.

Anyway, now Datang is rich and strong, and the treasury is full of money.

Li Shimin also did not hesitate to reward, from the generals to the soldiers, everyone received rich rewards.

All the soldiers who survived were smiling and smiling.

What are they soldiers for?

Isn't it just to add officials to the knighthood and seal his wife and son?

Now, almost everyone's dream has come true.

Sure enough, I still have to follow the king of Shu, there is meat to eat and milk to drink!

Of course, among these people, only Li Su, the king of Shu, is the least concerned about rewards.

Because of his official position, it is almost impossible to seal it now.

Rewarding money?

Eh, the richest person in the entire Tang Dynasty now is probably His Royal Highness the King of Shu, right?

Therefore, Li Su, the king of Shu, didn't even care what his reward was.

Li Shimin also seemed to feel a little sorry for the King of Shu, and in the end, he handed over the errand of how to place Xue Yantuo's captives directly to him.

After the reward, Li Su went to Hanxiang Hall to meet his mother Concubine Yang.

After not seeing her for a few months, Concubine Yang couldn't help but hold his hand tightly when she saw Li Su.

The circles under his eyes were red and full of tears.

"Son, in the past few months, you have suffered from fighting on the grassland!"

"In the past few months, you must have been eating and sleeping well? Let my mother see, have you lost weight? ”

"Y-huh? Why are you still fat? ”

Li Yu smiled and said: "Mother, don't you know, on the grassland, there is nothing else to eat, you can only eat meat every day, but you are not fat?" ”

"Oh, don't you know, eating meat and drinking milk tea all day long is about to make me vomit! Now I want to eat pasta and vegetables! ”

After listening to Li Su's words, Concubine Yang couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Yes, yes, all of them!" You wait, the mother will order someone to do it for you! ”

Now Concubine Yang's status in the harem can be said to be expensive for mothers and sons.

With the rise of the King of Shu, Concubine Yang's status has also risen.

Four years ago, there were two young princesses, Concubine Lu and Concubine Xuan, competing for favor with her.

But with the Lu family's crime, Concubine Lu was also thrown into the cold palace.

Although Concubine Xuan was not implicated, Li Shimin's attitude towards her was not as good as before.

Concubine Xuan has been completely labeled as the Cui family.

For the five surnames and seven hopes, the forehead has now become four surnames and six wangs, and there is a deep wariness in my heart.

Therefore, after the death of Empress Changsun, now in the harem, Concubine Yang is faintly headed.

Concubine Yang is not a queen now, but she is like a queen.

Under Concubine Yang's order, it didn't take long for a sumptuous meal to be placed on the table.

Concubine Yang looked at Li Su and couldn't help but say kindly: "Su'er, the food is ready, you can eat it quickly!" ”

Li Su nodded and said, "With so many dishes, where can I finish eating?" Mother, you can eat too! ”

Concubine Yang smiled and said, "Mother Concubine is not hungry, just watch you eat like this, eat quickly!" ”

Li Yu smiled and said, "Mother, I'm welcome!" ”

Say, pick up the rice, fill it with a few chopsticks of vegetables, and eat it violently.

It looks like a refugee who hasn't had enough to eat in years.

In fact, I don't blame Li Su for eating like this, on the grassland, eating meat every day, he really ate him and vomited.

Now I can eat rice and vegetables, and I feel very sweet.

And Concubine Yang, who was sitting next to her, saw that her son was eating like this, how much suffering did she endure and how much sin she suffered?

Unconsciously, Concubine Yang's eyes began to redden.

But it's not just the King of Shu Li Su who is like this.

When the soldiers of the four armies that had been seconded had just returned to their headquarters, there was still a scene of 50,000 troops eating in today's state.

Every soldier is holding a bowl of rice, putting a few chopsticks and vegetables in the bowl, and then picking up the bowl is a meal to eat.

Look, it's definitely a refugee who has been hungry for seven or eight days without eating.

In peacetime, an average soldier is less than three bowls of rice.

But today, the least of them have eaten up five bowls of rice.

As a direct result, the rice cooked in the military camp was not enough to eat.

As a last resort, I had to turn on the fire again and cook a second pot of rice.

After eating, every soldier was holding a bulging belly and basically couldn't stand up.

But everyone's face was full of satisfaction.

Not to mention them, even their King of Shu is no exception at this time.

Li Su, the king of Shu, was overwhelmed at this time.

Holding his stomach, he sat on the Zhenguan chair and looked satisfied.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Yang felt funny and distressed again.

……

stayed in Chang'an for a night, and on the second day, Li Su led Wang Fangyi and couldn't wait to step on the train to Yizhou.

As for his army of 50,000, a cart will definitely not be able to pull it.

It will take about ten days to return to Yizhou in batches.

Wang Fangyi has arranged all these things, and Li Fang doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Now, Li Su is really like an arrow.

Calculate the time, my three children have already been born, and they should all be full moon now.

As a husband and father, he is really incompetent.

When they gave birth, they didn't stay with them.

At the moment when the child first came into this world, there was no witnessing together.

Li Su felt a lot more ashamed of them.

Along the way, Li Su only felt that the train was extremely slow.

What kind of broken train is this, why is it so slow?

Can't you go any faster?

No, I'm going to speed it up right away.

If only there were airplanes!

If there had been a plane, he would have flown home long ago.

In Li Su's extremely tormented waiting, the train finally arrived at Yizhou Station.

As soon as he arrived at the station, before the train even stopped, Li Su rushed to the door impatiently.

As soon as the car door opened, Li Su couldn't wait to jump out of the car.

Outside, Li Yuanfang personally drove to pick up the station.

Originally, as the commander of Li Su's guards, Li Yuanfang was going to follow him in this battle and protect his safety closely.

But Li Su didn't take Li Yuanfang.

As the commander of the Tang Army, if he can't guarantee his own safety in the army, then Li Su, the commander, is really in vain.

Li Su asked Li Yuanfang to stay at home to protect the safety of the ladies in the Jiedu Embassy's mansion.

This time Li Su returned, and Li Yuanfang personally drove to pick him up.

This time, it was not just Li Yuanfang who came with one person and one car.

There were two cars in front of the road, and two cars in the back were broken.

Counting the car driven by Li Yuanfang, there are a total of five cars in the front and rear, forming a vast convoy.

Under Li Su's order, the speed of these five cars can be described as galloping, flying fast.

Almost a cup of tea, five cars drove into the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion.

Soon, it was in the backyard.

Before the car could stop, Li Su couldn't wait to push the car door and jump out of the car.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Mrs. Qin Mengxin, as well as Wu Meiniang, Xue Xiaoxiao, Xu Hui, Cui Yingying, and Liu Zhi, all welcoming him outside the door.

Among them, Qin Mengxin, Wu Meiniang and Xue Xiaoxiao, they all held a baby in their arms.

Seeing this scene, Li Su's heart was about to melt.

Li Su strode to the side of several ladies, and stretched out his arms emotionally, ready to hug several ladies.

Then I was embarrassed to find that my wife was a little too much, and her arms were a little short, so I couldn't hold it at all.

Li Su couldn't help but say: "Ladies, I'm back, and I've wronged you." ”

Qin Mengxin's eyes were red, with tears in his eyes, and he looked at Li Su and said affectionately: "When the husband returns safely, the concubine will be relieved." Everything is fine at home, and my husband can rest assured. ”

Wu Meiniang's big charming eyes looked at Li Su tightly, and her charming appearance almost melted Li Su.

"Husband, Rong'er has never seen her father!"

Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Su hurriedly stepped forward and picked up his daughter from Wu Meiniang's hands.

This is the first time Li Su has held a baby, and he is very nervous.

Both hands didn't know where to go, or under the guidance of Wu Meiniang, Li Yu carefully picked up his daughter.

Xiao Rong'er has just been full moon, and the fluff on her face is clearly visible.

Which pair of big eyes look like Wu Meiniang.

She put a little index finger in her mouth and sucked it, which was very cute.

Seeing the cute appearance of the little guy, Li Su felt that his heart was about to melt.

And the little guy raised his eyes and glanced at Li Su, not knowing what he remembered, and a shallow smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Wow, she smiled, she saw me laugh, haha! Ha ha! ”

"Wow...... Wow......"

As a result, being so frightened by Li Su, the little guy suddenly burst into tears.

Seeing the little guy crying with tears on his face, Li Su was distressed.

"Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. Grandma, don't you cry? ”

Wu Meiniang was amused by Li Su, took Rong'er from Li Su's hand, and handed it to the nurse next to her.

The nurse lifted up her clothes, turned to one side, and fed Rong'er unscrupulously.

Tasting the sweet **, Xiao Rong'er quickly stopped crying and concentrated on eating.

At this time, the wives of the big family, after giving birth, do not breastfeed, and will ask a special nurse to breastfeed.

Because as soon as you feed, you will lose your shape, mainly as a feeding tool, and it will shrink and sag.

As the most powerful prince of the Tang Dynasty, after the lady of the mansion gives birth, of course, it will be like this.

In fact, Li Su himself doesn't agree with this method.

It's better to be fed by your mother herself, and you can also pick up the opportunity to deepen your feelings.

But everyone is doing this, and Li Su naturally won't say anything more about this matter.

Li Su couldn't help but ask Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, is her name Rong'er?" ”

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Husband, Rong'er's name is still waiting for you!" Even her milk name and concubine body are ready for you to help take it! It's just that there always has to be a name, so I took this name first. If the husband thinks it doesn't sound good, the husband will take another one. ”

Li Su laughed and said, "It's good, the name Rong'er, I like it very much." If the milk name is Rong'er, the name will be Li Li Rong! ”

After Li Su finished speaking, Wu Meiniang said happily: "Thank you husband for the name." ”

At this time, Xue Xiaoxiao also walked to Li Su's side with a child in her arms.

Xue Xiaoxiao said to the infant child: "Stone, you haven't seen your father yet!" See, this is your father! ”

This is my own son!

However, for Xue Xiaoxiao's name, Li Su really wanted to complain.

It's a boy, isn't it?

What's wrong with it? Do you have to call it a stone?

Of course, in fact, Li Su can understand why Xue Xiaoxiao came up with such a name.

Because Xue Xiaoxiao grew up in the folk since he was a child, this saying is very popular among the people, that is, to give the child a cheap name.

Because it is easy to feed a lowly name.

When children are young, they are prone to death because of poor medical conditions.

Which people think that the souls of the children are not complete, and the ghosts in the underworld are staring at the souls of these children!

If you give a loud name to your child, you may have taken away the child's soul.

Therefore, they all like to give their children a cheap name.

For example, stones, eggs, leftovers, wood, etc.

Anyway, as long as it's not human, it's okay, so you can fool some ghosts.

In fact, not only the people, but even the palace will be affected by this statement.

It seems that an emperor of the Han Dynasty was nicknamed Pig, which means pig.

Li Su thought crankily in his heart, and took the child from Xue Xiaoxiao's hand.

Holding the child by his side, a feeling of flesh and blood being thicker than water suddenly swelled up.

However, this little guy raised his head and glanced at Li Su, obviously not interested in him.

Bow your head and nibble on your fingers to play.

At this time, Xue Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say to Li Su: "Husband, the concubine doesn't know how to name it, so you should help him choose a nice name." ”

Li Yu laughed and said: "The name of the stone is really not good, it might as well be called Baoyu!" Milk names and daimyo are both called this. ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Xue Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say excitedly: "Husband, this name is good!" Baoyu is good, thank you, thank you, husband! ”

Baoyu is actually a type of stone.

Li Su also changed the name Baoyu according to Xue Xiaoxiao's stone.

And beside him, when Qin Mengxin heard this name, his body couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

Looking at the infant child, I couldn't help but feel a sad feeling in my heart.

Xue Xiaoxiao happily took Baoyu from Li Su's hands.

The next moment, Li Su didn't wait for Qin Mengxin to come over, raised his feet and walked to them, stretched out his arms, and directly hugged both of them.

In front of many sisters, being hugged by her husband in public, Qin Mengxin suddenly became shy.

Of course, the heart is still very sweet.

Next, Li Su took the little guy from Qin Meng's arms.

This little guy's eyebrows and eyes look very similar to him, and his nose and mouth are more like Qin Mengxin's.

Looking at the little guy, Li Su couldn't help but smile and asked, "Little guy, tell my father, what's your name?" ”

Qin Mengxin smiled slightly and said, "Husband, the concubine gave him a milk named Tianci. ”

Providential?

The name is quite meaningful.

Qin Mengxin continued: "Husband, if you are here, you will give Tianci a great name!" ”

Li Su thought for a while and said, "The name is Haoran!" ”

Hearing this name, Qin Mengxin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Haoran? Good name! ”

When Qin Mengxin heard the name Li Baoyu just now, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Baoyu Baoyu is like a jade, which shows that the husband loves this son very much.

This made Qin Mengxin very uneasy.

Therefore, it becomes very important for the husband to name his son.

When he heard the name Haoran, Qin Mengxin completely relieved his heart.

Haoran righteousness!

This name is obviously better than Baoyu.

And the little guy from Tianci stared at a pair of big black eyes, his eyes blinked, and he looked at Li Su curiously.

After watching it for a long time, he actually stretched out a small arm to catch Li Su.

At this moment, Li Su felt that his heart was about to melt.

Hurriedly lifted the little guy high, and then leaned his face over.

The little guy stretched out his hand and touched Li Su's face, looking very curious.

The feeling of a fleshy little hand caressing the face, don't even mention it.

At this moment, suddenly a little girl with pink makeup jumped over.

When she saw Li Su, she couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Big brother, you're back!" That's great! I've missed you for a few months! ”

"Huh? Big brother, God-given brother is so cute, let him go and let me see! ”

This little girl who came was the five-year-old Shangguan Wan'er.

However, for her title, Li Su couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Let's not talk about what she calls herself big brother, she is directly two generations behind.

Besides, she also called her brother to Tianci, this is my son, hey.

Let you call it that, my son and I have become brothers?

What kind of name is this?

Li Su squatted down, rolled his eyes and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "You call me big brother, call him younger brother?" What kind of generation is this! ”

Shangguan Wan'er's big black eyes turned a few times, and she tilted her head and thought for a long time.

Then he couldn't help but say, "Oh, that's it, it's not right." ”

Immediately after that, he held Tianci's little hand and grinned: "Come, call Auntie!" ”

Ooh!

You're going to take advantage of it.

However, this little girl is really cute.

She can call it whatever she wants, and Li Su doesn't bother to care about her.
