Two months later, Chen Baoer returned to the Anbei tent, accompanied by his newlywed wife Li Maoniang. When talking about marriage at the beginning, after the heir Han princess Du Shi was moved by this marriage, she asked Wang Rong to come forward and match the couple to meet. Although it was only a brief meeting, Chen Baoer had a good impression of Li Baoniang, who was good at riding and shooting, was popular, and had a hearty personality, and Li Maoniang was also a little upset about Chen Baoer, who was more than ten years older than herself and had a completely different conversation and temperament from the children of Jingshi Guijie. So, after Chen Baoer's parents arrived in Beijing, the marriage was in full swing.

Chen Baoer still remembers that when she visited her aunt on the second day of the wedding, her parents lived in the countryside for many years, even though the government took care of her and the neighbors admired her, but after all, she entered Chang'an for the first time and married a noble daughter-in-law. A few days after the marriage, he was going to leave for Mobei, with the strong advocacy of his parents and brothers and the support of Wang Rong, he asked Li Yunniang what he meant, and saw that she was really willing to leave Chang'an, so he immediately set off with his wife.

Although it was his uncle who inherited the prince, Li Yunniang was born in the family of the clan after all, and all she saw was singing and dancing, and she was really strange and curious about life outside the Saiwai. When she came to meet Du Shiyi with Chen Bao'er, she didn't have too much shyness as a bride, but took the initiative to say after greetings: "Teacher, Chen Lang will be busy with various affairs in the future, but Anbei is not as good as Chang'an, and there are not so many housework that women need to worry about, but what can I contribute?" If I'm idle and idle, I'll be in vain. ”

According to the generation of Jingzhao Du, Li Yunniang should call herself an uncle; And according to the custom of officialdom, it should be called handsome. Now that she is a teacher with Chen Bao'er, and she also took the initiative to express her unwillingness to be idle, Du Shiyi glanced at Chen Bao'er, who was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he nodded approvingly: "Yes, now that the Anbei Yatent City has not been built, no matter how big the officials are, that is, there are more tents and more servants, there is no difference between the rest, and there are not so many places to be ushered in, which is different from the imperial capital of Chang'an, where women are indispensable to socialize all the time." The spring, summer and autumn in Mobei are extremely short, but the winter is very long. Once winter arrives, snow and cold winds are blowing all over the sky, and a lot of preparation is required, especially now that the city is being built. Since you have taken the initiative to ask for help, I will hand over an important matter to you. ”

He paused, and when he saw Li Maoniang's awe-inspiring face, he ordered: "Your master stays in Chang'an, and the wife of Zhang Qijun, the chief of Anbei, is still taking care of the children in Lingzhou, and Huaien did not bring his wife over on this trip." In other words, today's Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is full of martial arts, and there are very few family members who come with them, but the lack of people does not mean that there are none. Coming here from Shuofang, the soldiers wanted to make meritorious contributions and guard the frontier, but the ladies couldn't help but feel uneasy. Mo Niang, you are the daughter of the clan and your status is noble, and now you are here with your husband, so it is incumbent on you to appease these female dependents. If they are at peace, the Anbei tent will be stable. ”

For a seventeen-year-old bride who has just gotten married to make such a request, Du Shiyi knows that this is indeed a bit difficult for a strong man. But Wang Rong brought him a letter from his family, saying that when she was in contact with Princess Du of Han in the past two years, she always felt that Li Yunniang had a flexible trait that was very different from that of a noble daughter, so it was better to let her give it a try. Therefore, after the words came out, he carefully examined Li Maoniang's expression.

"What the teacher explained is really an important thing." After muttering softly, Li Yunniang raised her head, "I don't dare to say that there will be no mistakes, but I will definitely do my best!" ”

"Okay." Du Shiyi suddenly smiled, "When you turn around, you twist all the female dependents in the army into a rope, and I will order you something else!" ”

Du Shiyi kept Chen Baoer and had important things to order, so Li Yunniang retired first. Looking at her back out of the account, Du Shiyi asked Chen Baoer with a smile: "How does it feel to marry a bride?" ”

Chen Baoer is not one of those young boys, and when he was teased like this, he just looked as usual: "I was only afraid that she would be noble and arrogant, but I didn't expect to get along unexpectedly." Shi Niang is really a good vision, when my grandfather and aunt sent me off, they all said that I was a blessing from the previous life, and this is what I am today. ”

Compared with the brothers who are already satisfied when they are a rich man, his series of experiences from Yunzhou to Mobei are really exciting! Even if he married a wife, how could he have thought that he could marry a clan girl as a wife?

"You can have a good wife to take care of, and your sister and I can rest assured. If Mo Niang can really appease these female dependents, those small tribes who come to Anbei Yatent City can also take the lady route, or friendship, or other contacts, in short, they can further strengthen the connection. By the way, Mo Niang shouldn't know Turkic yet, right? You take the time to teach her, being in Mobei, it will be too inconvenient if you don't understand the language. ”

"She's learned a lot along the way." Thinking of his little wife, who was much younger than herself, Chen Baoer couldn't help but feel a slight heat in her heart, "I was originally worried that she would feel tired from riding a horse all the way, but she didn't say half a word." I think in another month, she should be able to speak in simple Turkic. ”

The arrival of Li Mo Niang added a little brightness to the busy and tense Anbei tent. As Du Shiyi explained, she soon worked hard to connect the few female dependents who came with the army. At that time, people always had a little awe of the daughter of the clan, seeing that she was approachable and cool, after the initial rustiness, they all gradually became familiar with her. So much so that when Chen Baoer deals with affairs on weekdays, he often hears people talk about how his wife is, which makes him feel very happy unconsciously.

And not long after Chen Baoer and Li Yunniang arrived at the Anbei tent, another group of dusty people also arrived. The general at the head was in his early thirties, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and was handsome. When he left his entourage and horses outside, and followed the tooth soldiers who led the way to the outside of the tooth tent to report the meeting, there was an indescribable excitement in his heart.

This place was once the center of the Turkic rule in Mobei, and now it has returned to the Tang Dynasty!

Seeing the young man who strode into the tooth tent and saluted, Du Shiyi couldn't help but ask with a smile: "It's the first time Guangbi has come here, right?" ”

"Yes, in the past, I only heard the scenery outside Mobeisai, but today I can only see it when I go north." Li Guangbi replied politely, and then restrained his hands and said, "Mrs. Guo is handsome, so she transferred the last general from among the generals to listen to the dispatch. ”

Du Shiyi directly singled out Li Guangbi to Guo Ziyi in the letter, and learned that his statement to Li Guangbi was from among the generals, and he singled out Li Guangbi, he couldn't help but laugh at Guo Ziyi's treacherousness, knowing that he would not debunk it, so he opened his eyes and said nonsense. He didn't break it, nodded with a slight smile, and then said: "You have been in Jiuyuan County, Fengzhou, and have defended the city in the west for many years, and you have made great achievements. ”

Li Guangbi has accumulated merit as a partial general, and now as soon as he arrives in Mobei, Du Shiyi directly promoted him as a pioneer envoy, and while he is grateful, he can't help but be a little honestly afraid. However, when Du Shiyi instructed him to follow, he came to the sand table in another big tent adjacent to the tooth tent, and when he saw the vivid model of the Anbei Tooth Tent City, his eyes changed unconsciously.

"Even if there have always been cities in northern Xinjiang, most of them are in Shuofang near the Central Plains, such as Xiazhou, and now there are still ruins of Tongwan City. But at the foot of this Oudqian Mountain, even though the Turks have revived, for many years, there are only earthen walls, no real cities. If the Anbei Yatent City is finally completed, it will definitely be a great deal for the entire Mobei clans! However, you must understand that there are only nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed here now, and among them there are also rotations to build the city, although I will give a good reward at the cost of protection, and attract those small tribes who come to serve to participate in the construction of the city, but if someone comes to attack, this place will be in danger in the blink of an eye. I heard Ziyi say that you are strict in governing the army, and I hope to lead your troops and horses well to repel all the enemies who dare to attack! ”

Faced with such a heavy task, Li Guangbi immediately responded awe-inspiringly: "I will live up to the trust of the commander and not let any enemy cross the thunder pool by half a step!" ”

Li Guangbi is a Khitan, Fugu Huaien is a Tiele person, and Du Shiyi is here to Mobei, and it is such two generals who are used, which naturally have different meanings. Just like the Anxi and Beiting Protectorates of the Tang Dynasty, there have always been the majority of generals, which is a ruling philosophy. Of course, looking at these great unified dynasties for 5,000 years, although the Han Dynasty also used the Huns, it was far less eclectic than the Tang Dynasty's ability to use the generals in such an eclectic manner. Of course, there have been a few famous rebel generals among these generals, but the most of them are brave and loyal, and their loyalty is not inferior to that of the pure-blooded Tang people.

In other words, except for slippery people like An Lushan, as long as the superior does not force the rebellion, no one will be full of food and stand up.

Therefore, when all the military and political forces were in charge, Du Shiyi used Zhang Xingzhi to leave the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate for the future, assisted by Chen Baoer, and led the troops and horses of the servants Gu Huaien and Li Guangbi, and he took Huya and 1,000 soldiers to inspect the eastern territory of the Abe Metropolitan Protectorate. When he arrived at the land of Tongluo, he saw Absi, and after Panhuan set off again in two days, Absi immediately took the initiative to personally take 3,000 soldiers and horses to escort Du Shiyi to the territory of the Fugu Department before returning.

Du Shiyi only stayed in the territory of the Fugu Department for two days, and Tong Guò Yi Li Siba summoned those nobles. He knew very well that momentary words may not be able to dispel the doubts in people's hearts, so in addition to verbal reassurance, they also gave quite practical benefits, which made everyone overjoyed. Fine silk, white porcelain, and all kinds of delicate jewelry rarely seen by foreign nobles, therefore, when Du Shiyi proposed that the construction of Anbei Ya Tent City needed manpower, as long as he had the strength, he would give all kinds of rewards, and many nobles were angry to take out people.

Just some of the least valuable slaves!

On the last leg of this eastward trip, Du Shiyi came to the place where the capital is now merged with the Xiren Duji Department. When he saw Luo Yingying, who was dressed like a Turk and couldn't see his youthful appearance, he followed him into the tooth tent with a polite greeting, and there were no outsiders, so he took the initiative to smile and give Luo Ying a bear hug.

"Until today, we have been able to come here to see you in the name of righteousness!"
