Chang'an, the spring rain continues, in the Tang State Mansion, the tribes are sorting out their outfits, and the imperial court appointed Liang Shiyan, the Duke of Yuguo, as the marshal of the marching army, to crusade against the Yizhou rebel Xi Piluo, and their Lang mainly went out with the army, so there are many outfits to prepare.

In the courtyard, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, who was dressed in military uniform, was saying goodbye to his mother Dugu, Li Yuan rarely went out alone, let alone went to the battlefield, Dugu couldn't help but be worried, and it was extremely difficult to give up.

"San Lang, there are no eyes on the battlefield, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, mother, the child will be careful."

"When you get to Shudi, don't be careless, lest you be unaccustomed to the water and soil, and it will not be good to get sick...."

Dugu babbled and said, when her father Dugu Xin offended the ruling and Jin King Yuwenhu, and then was forced to commit suicide, Dugu's family was exiled to Shu by Yuwenhu, she lived in Yizhou for a few years, knowing that the climate there was different from Guanzhong.

What he said last night, his mother is now starting to repeat it, Li Yuan is helpless, and he can only listen honestly.

When he was young, his father was the governor of Anzhou, so the young Li Yuan lived in Anlu for a few years, and Xu Shao, who was born in Anlu Xu, was a classmate and friend, and later Li Yuan followed his father back to Chang'an, and his father died within a few years.

Li Yuan, who lost his father at a young age, has since become a pampered rich and noble gentleman, and when he gets older, he will enter the palace as a rule, like a finch in a golden wire cage, and he can't go anywhere.

When his aunt's family changed dynasties, he was still treated as a child, and he was still a guard in the palace.

Li Yuan was unwilling to do nothing, because many people privately ridiculed him for being a wreck, and he only inherited the title of Duke of Tang by relying on his reincarnation.

Li Sanlang has no ability to revive the glory of Tang Guogong, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, so this title should be accepted by a capable son of the Li family!

Who are saying this kind of thing, Li Yuan can probably guess that as an aspiring man, he can't swallow this breath, his grandfather Li Hu is one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, and his status is extremely noble, and as a grandson, he must fight for a breath.

This time, the Son of Heaven rebuilt the imperial court, and Li Yuan got the opportunity to go to Shu with the army, so he was determined to prove himself on the battlefield.

The situation facing the Chang'an court was improving, and Li Yuan knew that many people, like him, wanted to take advantage of the war to fight for meritorious service in order to climb up in the rebuilt court, so no matter how difficult and dangerous Shu was, he would never be afraid of difficulties.

Dugu's nagging, Li Yuan nodded while listening, not daring to show an impatient expression, Mrs. Dou held her young son and listened quietly, unable to find a chance to interject at all, unable to relieve her husband.

At this moment, there was a faint commotion outside the house, the sound was getting closer and closer, it seemed that many people were cheering, the housekeeper asked a few servants to go out to see the situation, and a moment later the servants came to report:

"Hui Yu Lang Lord, it is Lubu Feijie, just from Shannan, it is said that the king of Xiyang broke the army of rebels in Shaoling, Yuzhou, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the rebels were wiped out!"

Li Yuan was quite surprised when he heard this, he knew that what the King of Xiyang was going to deal with was not a group of rabble, the more than 100,000 enemy soldiers, even if there were enough young and strong among them, but the soldiers had to have 70,000 or 80,000.

Such an enemy army is like a chicken and a dog in front of King Xiyang!

In addition to sighing, Li Yuan asked again: "Shao Ling... What is the matter of the great victory? ”

"Uh... I heard that it seemed to be four days ago. ”

Li Yuan did not know the specific location of Shao Ling in Yuzhou, if he started from Yuzhou Prefecture, took the Tongbai Mountain Road to Anlu, and then went to Chang'an from Anlu through Wuguan Road, the road was at least more than 1,000 miles, and if the messenger of the victory traveled day and night, he could reach Chang'an in a few days.

But this is not the key, the key is that the King of Xiyang has made military exploits again.

Li Yuan's family lived in Xiyang, Huangzhou for a period of time more than a year ago, and dealt with the king of Xiyang, the other party was one year older than him, but he had already made great achievements in battle, and he was awarded the title of county king.

King Xiyang is a clan, of course, there are particularities, Li Yuan does not dare to compare with the other party, but his classmate and friend Xu Shao, and his achievements now far surpass him.

Xu Shao and Li Yuan are the same age, and now they have nearly ten years of eunuch experience, not long ago Li Yuan accompanied the Son of Heaven to dine in the palace, and the Son of Heaven spoke of Xu Shaolai quite praised.

Xu Shao's father, Xu Faguang, now holds an important position in the imperial court, and when others talk about Xu Shao in private, they will not say that it is Xu Shao, the son of Xu Faguang, but most of them will say Xu Badong, because Xu Shao is now the county guard of Badong in Huangzhou and the county of Xunyang in Quanjiang Prefecture.

And when others talk about Li Yuan in private, it is Li Yuan, the grandson of Li Hu, or Li Yuan, the son of Li Yu.

They are all the same age, why is the gap so big?

Li Yuan knew that the Son of Heaven asked him to accompany him to the meal because he was Li Yuan, the grandson of Li Hu, or Li Yuan, the son of Li Xun, in order to win the hearts of the protégés of the late Tang Guogong family, so he was given such courtesy.

And not because he himself performed well.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan was firm, interrupted his mother's nagging, and saluted goodbye: "Mother, the child is leaving!" ”

Dugu was stunned, it was the first time for her son to be so rude, but there was some joy in her heart, because she finally realized that her son had finally grown up, groping her son's cheek, Dugu muttered: "Okay, good...."

Li Yuan has already married and has a son, and the Dugu clan still treats Li Yuan as a child, hoping that he will be safe and sound and not go to dangerous battlefields, but this is unrealistic, because without military merits, it will not be able to support the reputation of "Tang Guogong".

Dugu's uncle (father-in-law) Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, the name of Tang Guogong, has saved the Li family twice later, and Yu Ze has almost exhausted.

This time, Li Yuan was able to go out with the army, and the Dugu clan knew that it was the Son of Heaven who was born like a spring rain for the sake of "Tang Guogong", and there would be no more if he missed the season.

If Li Yuan doesn't seize the opportunity this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future, she has no sister to support, and Li Hu has many descendants, and it doesn't necessarily have to be the 'incompetent' Li Yuan to inherit this title.

Thinking of this, Dugu tied a cloak for his son, just as solemnly as he did when he saw off his husband: "Shude, take care!" ”

。。。。。。

In another corner of Chang'an City, Han Baohu, the Duke of Xinyi County, was talking to two nephews in private, and he had just returned from the Tianguan Mansion with one of his nephews, Li Yaowang, where his uncle and nephew heard an exciting piece of good news:

Yuwenwen, the king of Xiyang, broke more than 100,000 enemy troops in Shaoling.

This great victory changed the situation in Henan, the defenders of Yecheng then burned the city and retreated north, Yewandao was controlled by the Jingzhou army in Shannan, and the passage out of Henan was available, and the threat to Shannan had been lifted.

"Uncle, it is said that it is early spring now, how can there be an outbreak of epidemic in the enemy camp in Shaoling? Could it be that the main generals are all wine bags and rice bags? ”

Faced with his nephew Li Yaowang's question, Han Baohu asked rhetorically: "The enemy army camps according to the water, and it is not worrying about getting water, but if someone throws corpses upstream to pollute the river water, it is not impossible for a plague to break out." ”

"Uh... However, if you camp according to the water, you must guard against upstream water attacks, and ensure that the upstream water source is not polluted. ”

Li Yaowang still had doubts, Han Baohu smiled and looked at the other nephew: "What do you say, pharmacist?" ”
