Chapter 594: Two Assistants

Li Shimin wanted Li Xiu to assist Li Jing and take charge of the logistics of the army, but Li Xiu was very repulsed by this, but Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji both persuaded him to agree, and finally Li Shimin asked him for help as a friend, Li Xiu really couldn't refuse, in fact, he was very soft-hearted, and he would not refuse a friend's request for help.

"Okay, but the minister has no experience with this kind of fact, so I ask Your Majesty to send an experienced official to assist the minister, so as not to delay Your Majesty's plan!" Li Xiu finally nodded helplessly, seeing that he agreed, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji also sighed, they were really afraid that Li Xiu would not agree to this matter.

The matter has been decided, Li Shimin is a fiery character, and immediately ordered the eldest grandson Wuji to go down to make preparations for the army, Li Jing also left with the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiu originally wanted to leave, but Li Shimin suddenly stopped him at this time and said: "Li Xiu, I know that this time the matter is a little difficult for you, but if you don't want to go, I and Wuji can't go, and in the end, I'm afraid I can only let Cheng Qian run in person, and only he, the prince, can let Li Jing rest assured!" ”

"The minister understands His Majesty's painstaking efforts, and since the minister has agreed to this matter, he will definitely not live up to His Majesty's trust!" Li Xiu also solemnly saluted at this time, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, since Li Xiu has already waded into the muddy waters of the Tang Dynasty, some things have to be done.

"It's good if you understand, I also know that you don't know about military affairs, but that's okay, I thought about it just now, and I think there is a person who is very suitable to assist you, with him, you don't have to work too hard!" Li Shimin laughed again at this time.

"Oh? I wonder who Your Majesty is talking about? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard this, he thought that it would take a few days for Li Shimin to arrange a good person, but he didn't expect him to choose the person to assist him so quickly?

"Cen text!" Li Shimin smiled and said that he thought of people.

"It turned out to be him, then it's no problem!" Li Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard Cen Wenwen's name.

He and Cen Wenwen had met because of Yuechan's affairs, and he was deeply impressed at that time, and later he also paid attention to some things about Cen Wenwen, and found that this person was indeed not simple, although not as conspicuous as the generals under Li Shimin, but he was good at internal affairs, and he had traveled with Li Shimin many times, and he had always been responsible for logistics.

"Hehe, I know that you will definitely be very satisfied with Cen Wenwen, but you don't have much contact with him, and sometimes it may not be very handy to use, so I will send you Xu Jingzong from your Ministry of Agriculture again, he is your subordinate, and he has been my secretary to join the army before, and he is also very good at military affairs, with him and Cen Wenwen to assist you, logistics matters will definitely not be a problem!" Li Shimin said again at this time, for this expedition to the Turks, he had thought of everything he had.

"Your Majesty is still thoughtful, I was still a little worried about whether I could do it, but now with Cen Wenwen and Xu Jingzong, I have more confidence in my heart!" Li Xiu saluted Li Shimin again when he heard this, but when he said this, Li Xiu suddenly thought of another thing, and hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "Your Majesty, this time the army will definitely require several large armies to be sent together, but in addition to the main generals, I don't know which generals you plan to send?" ”

"Huh? How are you interested in this issue? Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then he sensed something very keenly, and asked with a smile at the moment.

"This ......" Li Xiu also suddenly thought of what he had promised others, and now it was time to fulfill it, so in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thought that General Qin bravely ran through the three armies, and he had a common enmity with the Turks, he had two major aspirations in his life, one was to destroy the Turks, and the other was to destroy Goguryeo, so the minister wanted to intercede for General Qin, hoping that His Majesty could send him to the expedition!" ”

When the Xuanwu Gate was at the beginning, Qin Qiong did not make any contributions, which caused Li Shimin to be very dissatisfied, and later although Li Shimin went to visit Qin Qiong, it was considered to ease the relationship between their monarchs and ministers, but since he defeated the Turks, although Qin Qiong still held the position of General Zuo Wuwei, Li Shimin never sent him to the battlefield again, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Shimin was deliberately idling Qin Qiong.

Hearing that he suddenly interceded for Qin Qiong, Li Shimin also showed a hesitant look, he was indeed a little angry with Qin Qiong, and he didn't plan to use him this time, but since Li Xiu had opened this mouth, he couldn't refuse, after all, Li Xiu also promised to participate in this war in order to help him just now, so Li Shimin finally nodded and said: "Okay, since Li Xiu has opened your mouth, I will naturally arrange an army for Qin Qiong, I hope he will not live up to my expectations!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Li Xiu immediately said excitedly.

The matter has been decided, Li Xiu immediately said goodbye to Li Shimin and left, and when he got out of the palace, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the majestic imperial city, and then shook his head secretly, he has always wanted to stay out of the matter, unwilling to get involved in the court, but this time he is going to break the vows.

Back home, Li Xiu immediately called Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang to the study, and then told them about today's events, but when he heard that Li Xiu was going to attack the Turks with the army, Yi Niang couldn't help but caress her high bulging belly, and said with tears in her eyes: "How can the husband agree to go out with the army, the concubine is about to give birth, and when you leave, won't you see the husband when the concubine gives birth?" ”

Yi Niang has been pregnant for nine months, and she is about to give birth, when she was on the Yuan Festival, she felt tired, in fact, she was pregnant at that time, and now she is about to give birth, and the last time she gave birth to Ping An Lang, she almost had a difficult birth, so she was also a little afraid of childbirth, it was good to have Li Xiu with her, but now that Li Xiu is not at home, she feels like she is missing a backbone.

"This ...... It's about the fortunes of the country, and I can't refuse, if I don't go, Your Majesty can only let Cheng Qian go to supervise the army, you say that I, as a gentleman, can't stay at home by myself, and watch Cheng Qian, who is still a child, go to the battlefield, right? Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Yi Niang's words, after all, Yi Niang's pregnancy was only his private matter, so he couldn't use it as a reason to reject Li Shimin.

"Yiniang, you don't have to worry, the husband just stays in the rear army to dispatch food and grass materials, and does not need to go to the battlefield to fight in person, so there is no danger, as for the husband is not at home, it is nothing, there are me and Yuechan at home to take care of you!" Princess Pingyang comforted Yi Niang in a soft voice at this time, she knew that Yi Niang was actually most worried about Li Xiu's safety.

"Having said that, but Fujun they are going to find the Turks this time, and they are also taking the initiative to attack, the climate on the grassland is harsh, and countless people and animals froze to death in a heavy snowstorm last year, how can people rest assured where Fujun went?" Yi Niang still wiped her tears and said, since she got married, she has never been separated from Li Xiu for too long, and the battlefield is so dangerous, even if she is just in charge of logistics, she is still reluctant to worry.

"Yi Niang, don't think of me as a child, I will take care of myself, and I am not going alone, I will bring the guards of the house with me at that time, and there are countless armies in the front, and I just stay in the towns in the rear to dispatch supplies, it can be said that there is food and drink, and the real hard work is the soldiers on the front line, so you don't have to worry about my safety!" Li Xiu saw that Yi Niang was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and couldn't help but comfort him again.

"Yes, and the husband's expedition is of great significance, if the Turks are destroyed, then my Tang Dynasty will completely get rid of the biggest threat, and the people in the north no longer have to worry about the Turks going south to loot, and even the imperial court can take the opportunity to control the grassland, so that the northern frontier is truly peaceful, of course, the husband will definitely take some risks, but compared to those front-line soldiers, the risk taken by the husband is actually nothing!" Princess Pingyang persuaded again at this time, but in the end, she had already become Xiaoyi, after all, she was originally a military general, and she knew the dangers on the battlefield better than anyone else, but even so, some things had to be done.

Yi Niang is not an unreasonable person, she also understands the truth that Princess Pingyang said, but she is now pregnant with a child, and she can't think about it for a while, now since Princess Pingyang said so, she can't say anything, she wiped her tears and then nodded and said: "Okay, since the husband is away, the concubine will guard the house with her sister, and after the child is born, she will wait for the triumphant return of the husband!" ”

Seeing that Yi Niang finally figured it out, Li Xiu was also relieved, but at this time, Princess Pingyang spoke again: "Husband, although it is of great significance to destroy the Turks, you also have to pay attention to your body, I am not very worried about safety, the guards in the house are all my old subordinates, and when you take away most of them, with them, Yi Niang and I can also be more assured, but just now Sister Yi Niang also said that the climate on the grassland is harsh, and this battle is likely to be fought until winter, so you must also pay attention to your body!" ”

Hearing that Princess Pingyang also told him to take care of his body, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile helplessly, it seems that no matter how different Princess Pingyang is from ordinary women, but as a wife, she is also as worried about herself as Yi Niang, but this also moved him a lot, and comforted her and Yi Niang a few words again, and then summoned the guards of the palace and was ready to go out at any time.
