Chapter 1024: The Great Gift
"Erlang...... Let's go into the house, Eighth Sister misses you very much. I repeat it several times a day. After you came back yesterday, the eighth sister didn't sleep all night, blaming you for why you didn't come to see her. Fortunately, Jun'er came to talk to her. At lunchtime just now, she was still asking you. The flush on Yang Yuhuan's face slowly subsided, and he whispered in Wang Yuan's ear, who was buried in his chest.
Wang Yuan raised his face from between her snow-white twin peaks and said with a smile: "Okay, but I'm afraid I can't deal with her now." β
Yang Yuhuan blushed and said: "You may not have to do these things when you meet, as long as you come to see us and talk to us, that is what we like the most." β
Wang Yuan squeezed his eyes and smiled: "Hey, why didn't you say this earlier, why didn't you say it just now?" β
Yang Yuhuan was disgusted, pushed Wang Yuan's body and put on his shirt, and waited for Wang Yuan to put on his clothes, carrying a flower hoe, and took Wang Yuan's hand out of the apricot forest and came to the middle path. The two walked side by side towards the main room.
When he arrived at the open space in front of the corridor of the main house, Yang Yuhuan shouted in a coquettish voice: "Eighth sister, who do you see coming?" β
In the wing room on the east side, the red beans and green leaves rushed out, and when they saw Wang Yuan at a glance, they all turned around and said happily: "Madam, the handsome man is here." Madame, get up. β
Mrs. Qin Guo, who was taking a nap at noon, woke up suddenly, and hurriedly got up from the couch when she heard the words, and rushed out of the room before she even had time to put on her embroidered shoes. Seeing that it wasn't Wang Yuan standing under the corridor, who else was there? Immediately jumped up, hugged Wang Yuan and burst into tears.
Wang Yuan patted her back and smiled: "Madam, don't be sad, it's me who is wrong, I should have come to see you yesterday." β
Mrs. Qin Guo smiled on her face, but there were tears in her eyes, and she said continuously: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, you can't do it." Come inside, red beans, make tea. β
After saying that, he didn't let go of Wang Yuan's arm, and sat down in the hall, and Mrs. Qin Guo found that Wang Yuan and Yang Yuhuan were disheveled, and there were still some apricot petals hanging on their buns, and their clothes were also wrinkled.
"Erlang, little sister, you are ......"
Yang Yuhuan's face turned red and he hung his head and was silent.
Wang Yuan had thick skin, and he hurriedly covered up: "Just now I dug a pit and buried fertilizer for the apricot blossom tree with Yuhuan, so I ......"
Mrs. Qin Guo chirped: "Bah, who are you fooling, bad thing." It must be bullying the little sister. β
Wang Yuan blushed and wanted to defend, but Mrs. Qin Guo waved her hand and said: "That's it, what is there to say, my sister has a hard life, and she was born to be bullied by you, what else do you say?" β
Wang Yuan laughed dryly, and talked about him left and right.
In the afternoon, Wang Yuan and the two sisters of the Yang family talked about their farewell. Mrs. Qin Guo and Yang Yuhuan already knew about many things about their trip to the south this time, so it was naturally reported to their sisters by Liu Jun after he returned. Wang Yuan also saved a lot of tongues. The topic that Mrs. Qin Guo cared about was not much different from Gongsun Lan, and both of them had a certain judgment of the situation, so the topic focused on Wang Yuan's next moves.
The two sisters didn't have any better opinions on Wang Yuan's next plans, and in private, Mrs. Qin Guo had already analyzed the situation with Yang Yuhuan, so the two sisters also understood that the waves would rise again. But they have already wholeheartedly defended Wang Yuan at this moment, and they only hope that Wang Yuan will be thoughtful and careful. When talking about the last battle of counterinsurgency, Mrs. Qin was very grateful to Wang Yuan for letting Liu Jun complete this last battle. Although Wang Yuan set up obstacles, this is obviously a plus for Liu Jun's fame. Mrs. Qin naturally knew Wang Yuan's intentions. His son's achievements today are all the work of Wang Yuan's careful cultivation.
After dinner, as soon as it got dark, the lights were dark in the apricot orchard. The two sisters served Wang Yuan very gently, turning over the river and the sea, and the lovesickness was like a flood. After the second watch, Wang Yuan left the apricot orchard, touched the plum garden, and got into Gongsun Lan's bed. Although he knew that this kind of thing would hurt his body excessively, Wang Yuan was also a hero who was sad about the beauty pass, and he fought with all his strength, did his best, and died.
β¦β¦
The next morning, after breakfast, Huang San came to report that the front hall was full. The ministers of the court and the central government, all kinds of people, etc., are waiting to see Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan was speechless. Why don't these guys stop people, in fact, there are not many people who are really in a hurry, these people just want to join in the fun. Even if it's just a few words of nonsense when they meet each other, they will leave satisfied. If Wang Yuan is gone, they will have a barrier in their hearts, and they will always feel that they are not alive.
Of course, there are also those who are really anxious to see themselves, and that Fengwang Li Heng is one of them. Wang Yuan refused to leave after learning that Li Heng had not seen him yesterday, and threatened to sleep with the servants until Wang Yuan saw him. Under the persuasion of Huang San, he was finally persuaded to leave, and early in the morning, he came again. If I don't see him again today, I will snub him too much, and then Li Heng will probably rush to the back house to pull himself up from the bed.
Wang Yuan put him in one. In the neatly decorated study room, Wang Yuan saw Li Heng who was in a hurry. Li Heng has lost some weight, but he is a little leaner, his face is quite dusty, his skin is not as delicate as before, and there are a lot of wrinkles on his face. Wang Yuan knew that it was the wind and frost on the Gobi that changed the once dough-like King Feng. But except for her appearance, Li Heng has not changed at all in other aspects, she is still so impatient and has no brains.
"Xiangguo, you can be regarded as seeing me. When I learned that you led the army back to Jiannan, I hurried back from the Gobi military camp and waited in Chengdu for ten days. I didn't dare to show up, nor did I dare to go to see my father, so I hid in the small inn every day to spend my time. It's easy to wait for Xiangguo to return, and Xiangguo hides from me again. Do you know how anxious we are? β
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Lord Feng, why are you so in such a hurry?" I have just returned from counterinsurgency, and I will not be able to rest for two days? Don't you even give me and my family time to join forces? β
"Oh, Xiangguo, it's not that this king wants to disturb, but the situation is pressing. Now that you have helped Li Mao put down the rebellion, does Li Mao have to sit on the throne? It's not that you don't know that the soldiers and horses I trained with a few imperial brothers were under the banner of counterinsurgency, and now it's good that there are no rebels, so what reason do we have to send troops? Brother Yi said. The rebellion has been quelled, and our soldiers and horses will definitely be ordered to disband, you say that if Li Mao really wants us to disband the soldiers and horses, will we obey the order or not? Or do we ignore the immediate dispatch of troops to attack Li Mao? Li Heng said loudly.
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "You can't wait to send troops?" Have you trained your soldiers and horses? How many soldiers were raised? β
"We have more than 40,000 soldiers. The twelfth brother led 10,000 soldiers and horses, the thirteenth brother led 10,000 soldiers and horses, the sixteenth brother led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were commanded by me. We plan to immediately send troops to occupy the east of the Shuofang River, and then use this as a territory to besiege Chang'an and force Li Mao to abdicate. Li Heng said in a deep voice.
Wang Yuan sighed and said, "Lord Feng, it's not that I vent your anger, just with your 40,000 soldiers and horses, you want to force Li Mao to abdicate?" That's naΓ―ve. β
Li Heng frowned and said, "No...... Is there still a 100,000 divine army of Xiangguo? Isn't Sangkook going to help us? β
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "When did I say that I would use the Divine Army to help you seize the throne?" Even if you can use the Divine Army, what kind of soldiers do you need to train? This is an internal dispute within your Li family, all I can do is support you in the dark, how can I openly send troops? β
Li Heng stomped his feet and said, "Xiangguo doesn't send troops, so what can we do?" I'm afraid our troops are no match for Li Mao. β
Wang Yuan looked at Li Heng and said, "Lord Feng, you are too anxious. Even if you want to send troops, you have to have the right reasons. Even if you have enough soldiers and horses to compete with Li Mao, you are rebelling when you send troops at this moment. Do you have a reason to send troops? Li Mao's throne was passed on by the decree of the Emperor Taishang, is this true? β
Li Heng shouted: "Who cares if there is a reason or not, the succession of the father's emperor is not in accordance with the rules at all, Li Mao went to Lingzhou to ascend the throne first, and the father's will to abdicate and pass on the throne, could it be that we are all fools?" β
Wang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Having said that, after all, it is the throne passed down by the Emperor Taishang. You are rebelling like this. If I send troops for you, I will rebel. Do you understand that rebellion will be reviled and spurned by the people of the world? β
"What are you afraid of the people doing? They said that as long as Li Mao was ousted, whoever spoke more would cut off their heads. Do you still care about the words of these people? Li Heng was very unimpressed.
Wang Yuan couldn't explain much to him, thought about it and said in a deep voice: "Lord Feng, be patient." The teacher is a famous teacher, and the teacher is benevolent and righteous. If you are in a hurry to send troops, please forgive me for not being able to help you in the slightest. β
Li Heng hurriedly said: "If Xiangguo doesn't help us, how can we send troops?" Even if the Shence army doesn't come out, we still need soldiers, horses, food, grass, armor and weapons. We wouldn't be able to do it without that. β
Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Lord Feng, your 40,000 soldiers and horses are not Li Mao's opponent even if all the materials are complete. Li Mao now has nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses on hand, not counting the tens of thousands of cavalry and horses he borrowed from the Hui people. Listen, I've heard a lot of rumors about the Hui people encroaching on my Tang City and plundering the people. Once I confirm these rumors, I will be justified in sending the Divine Army to attack the Uighurs. That's why I sent the army. The Shence army expelled the Hui soldiers and horses, so you have a chance to force Li Mao to abdicate, and only then can you fight with it, do you understand? β
Li Heng was overjoyed and said: "I understand, Xiangguo is looking for a reason to send troops to fight the Hui people, although it is not to help us directly, but it is a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle." Li Mao could only fight with us with his soldiers and horses, and lost the help of the strong Hui cavalry, and his soldiers and horses were very limited. β
Wang Yuan said: "You can be considered to have figured it out. But you have too few men and horses. But I have a great gift for you. β
"What gift?" Li Heng asked, stretching his neck.
"In the last battle of the counterinsurgency, we captured more than 20,000 rebel soldiers and horses, and this time I brought them all back to Jiannan, and estimated that they would arrive in Chengdu with the infantry in three or five days. Although these people were captives, they were all elite soldiers who followed An Lushan, and all of them were veterans. Experienced in combat. I intend to hand them all over to you, so that the strength of your soldiers and horses can be greatly enhanced. With 20,000 soldiers and horses, you have the strength to compete with Li Mao. β
