Chang'an City, East Palace.

That night, while breastfeeding the child, Qibi Wuyun said to Li Su: "Husband, Begonia's mood is not normal recently, you have to care more about her." ”

Li Su said: "Yun'er, you think too much. Begonia's father was fighting on the front line, and it was normal for her to be worried. ”

Qibi Wuyun shook his head and said: "Begonia's father has fought all his life, and it is said that Begonia should get used to it." But her heart was very heavy, and it seemed that there was something else going on. You should find time to talk to her. ”

Li Su remembered that Haitang cried that night, and also felt that there was a problem. He said, "Okay, I'll talk to her." ”

The next night, Li Su came to Haitang's room. Haitang saw Li Su and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, why are you here?" Aren't you going to Sister Ning'er today? ”

Li Su's crown princesses slept in the bed, all arranged by the Qibi dark clouds.

For the sake of fairness, and for everyone's mental preparation. The dark clouds of Qibi will be arranged once every seven days, and after obtaining Li Yu's consent, the various princesses will be notified.

Today's shift should be Li Ning'er's bedtime, and it will be Begonia's turn the day after tomorrow.

Li Su picked up the begonia, made her sit on his lap, and kissed her on the lips. He said, "It was your sister Wuyun who asked me to come, and she said that you have something on your mind." Let me talk to you about it. ”

Haitang said gratefully: "Sister Wuyun's heart is fine. Actually, I don't have anything to do, I'm just a little worried about my father. ”

Li Su found that although Haitang said that there was nothing wrong, his eyes were shining, and he seemed to be hiding something.

Li Su said seriously: "Begonia, if you have something on your mind, just say it, aren't we the closest people?" Whatever happens to you, you don't have to take it for yourself. Isn't there still me? ”

Begonia hesitated for a while, then began to cry. Then she took out a letter from under her pillow and handed it to Li Su.

This letter was written by Hou Junji to Li Su. After reading the letter, Li Su was extremely moved.

It turned out that after Li Shimin led the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Li Su cared about Li Shimin and tried every possible way to support him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to come up with gunpowder and artillery.

Li Su's idea of doing things is relatively simple, and he starts from his heart. For example, he secretly took Li Chengqian to Chang'an and arranged for him to meet with Empress Changsun. There is also the matter of arranging for Li Zhi to go to Yangzhou. as well as dealing with the affairs of the Persian Empire, and so on.

It is said that these things should be decided by Li Shimin. Even if Li Su wants to deal with it, he should have obtained Li Shimin's consent in advance. Because these things are easy to criticize.

Hou Junji admires Li Su very much, not only because he is his son-in-law. Instead, he respects and admires Li Su's talent and personality from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, he was very worried about Li Su, worried that others would seize the weakness in these things and attack Li Su.

Li Shimin was on the front line, and he didn't know enough about the affairs of Chang'an. This can easily lead to misunderstandings.

Li Su held great military and political power in Chang'an, and if it aroused Li Shimin's suspicion, then the problem would be serious.

It was Hou Junji's idea to attack Goguryeo from the sea. Hou Junji, as the second person in the Tang Army, is also the father-in-law of the prince.

With Li Su's current strength, coupled with Hou Junji's influence in the army. Even if they rebel, they have the ability to do so.

Hou Junji led his troops to the front line, which could completely relieve Li Shimin's vigilance. He was a landlubber, completely unfamiliar with naval warfare, and this time he set out from the sea and went directly behind enemy lines, risking great danger.

For the sake of his daughter and son-in-law, Hou Junji also gave up.

Hou Junji persuaded Li Su in the letter that he had to ask Li Shimin for instructions in case of trouble. After all, he is just a prince, and it is not his turn to call the shots in the affairs of the court.

Hou Junji thinks a lot. He wrote a letter to his daughter, also for his daughter's sake. In case he encounters an accident on the front line, I believe that Li Su will also treat his daughter well for the sake of his hard work.

Hou Junji has no son, and Haitang is his only daughter. He poured all his heart and soul into this daughter.

Li Su was very moved, he hugged the begonia and gently kissed the tears on her face. He said: "Begonia, your father and daughter's true love for me, I will always cherish it." No matter what, I'll spoil you for the rest of my life. ”

Haitang listened to Li Su's words and was excited, she hugged Li Su's body tightly and cried loudly.

Caressing her hair, let her vent her emotions.

At this time, Nanpu City was in the midst of fierce battles.

For 20 days, the Tang army had repelled numerous attacks by the Goguryeo army. Both sides suffered heavy losses.

As the coalition forces continued to advance, there was not much time left for the Goguryeo people. Eager to relieve his worries, Quangai Suwen gave a death order to the Goguryeo army besieging Nampo City.

The Goguryeo army relied on a large number of its own people and attacked in turns. They were like crazy, and they kept rushing towards Nanpu City.

When the Tang Army first landed, it was divided into two routes. In order to prevent the Tang army from being broken by each other, Hou Junji transferred the division that occupied Hot Springs to the southern city.

Hou Junji has been in the army for almost 30 years and has a wealth of combat experience. He divided the Tang army in the city into three parts, and took turns to defend the city, so that the troops always maintained strong energy.

The Goguryeo people had lost tens of thousands of horses, but they had never been able to do anything about Nampo. The commander of Goguryeo, there was nothing to do.

Eventually, at the suggestion of a junior officer, the Goguryeo people came up with a solution that was not the way to go.

On the morning of this day, Hou Junji was listening to a report from the logistics department in the headquarters when Hou Yingjie, commander of the Sixth Division, who was defending the city, sent someone to report and asked Hou Junji to go to the city to deal with the problems they encountered.

Hou Junji came to the city to take a look, and he was also a little embarrassed.

It turned out that the Goguryeo people did not know where to collect hundreds of Han Chinese, most of whom were women. They used this to blackmail the Tang army into withdrawing from Nanpu City.

Hou Junji said: "Aren't there still thousands of Goguryeo people in the city? Bring them up. ”

It was practical not to wait for his orders, the Tang army had already put the Goguryeo people under the city wall, just waiting for Hou Junji to agree. Soon, thousands of Goguryeo people were escorted up.

Tang Jun sent a loud voice and shouted outside: "If you dare to hurt those Han people, we will not be polite." If you kill one, we will kill three. ”

The officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were very relaxed, believing that the Goguryeo people would not dare to kill the Han people.

Unexpectedly, the Goguryeo people immediately pulled out two Han women, and the two heads flew out with knives in their hands.
