"Good!" Li Cunhuan nodded, "What you said is not wrong!" But the lonely king just asked, who took care of me on the first day of the lonely king's coma! You said it was Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xianyun, right? ”

When the lieutenant heard this, he didn't know why his face was ashamed, he lowered his head and didn't speak.

"Humph!" Li Cunhuan snorted coldly and glanced at the county lord of Jiexiu and Yu Xianyun, "Just now you said that you take care of the lonely king, and you can't untie your clothes, but don't think that the lonely king is sick and doesn't know anything, the person who takes care of the lonely king is dressed in white!" Say! Who the hell is it! Where is she? ”

"Your Highness! The last general is wrong......" Du Wei knocked his head on the ground, his voice was a little whimpering, and said: "It's all because Mrs. Li told the last general to say so, and for this reason, she gave the last general ten taels of gold." The last general thought that this matter would not have much impact on His Highness, so he agreed! In fact, taking care of His Royal Highness is a girl named Li Sumei, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xianyun only arrived at noon yesterday. ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, his face changed slightly, and he glared at the county lord of Jiexiu and Yu Xianyun fiercely, both of them couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look at Li Cunhuan's fierce eyes for even a second.

"Where's Miss Li?" Li Cunhuan asked in a deep voice.

The lieutenant hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mrs. Li is here, scolded Li Sumei's vixen, and ordered her servants to beat Li Sumei's girl out with a stick and imprison her in the dungeon......"

Before Du Wei's words were finished, Li Cunhuan was already furious, "Bastard! ”

Li Cunhuan ignored the fact that he was still weak after recovering from a serious illness, and wanted to turn over and stand up. Yu Xianyun suddenly pounced on Li Cunhuan and cried: "Your Highness! You have to pay attention to your body! On Miss Li Sumei's side, the slave family has already sent someone to send 500 yuan and arrange for someone to send them away! ”

"Get out!" Li Cunhuan was unprecedentedly angry, he felt that he had been in a world where people had been deceived these days, and the people who deceived him were the closest people around him, and the child in Ying Pi's belly didn't know if it was his own. The soldiers of the Iron Eagle Capital actually deceived themselves, and even the pillow people around them were deceiving themselves in order to be jealous.

"Isn't he just a vixen! Li Cunhuan, is this how you treat me? You have to remember that I am your original wife! I am your princess! The county lord of Jiexiu roared wildly suddenly.

"Get out of here!" Li Cunhuan's face flushed, and he struggled to sit up from the bed. But I don't know if I'm tired or angry, so I sit on the bed and pant for breath.

"Li Cunhuan! You told me to get out? I asked my father to raze Lu Long! "The lord of Jiexiu feels like he's going crazy, isn't he just a vixen! For the first time, I served a man for half a day and a night, and until now I had just drunk half a bowl of porridge, and when I heard him wake up, I rushed over to see him. But I didn't expect him to tell himself to get out for a vixen!

"Don't think you're the daughter of the one-eyed dragon and you're so arrogant! I'll tell you! When I came back, I was ready to lead troops to bulldoze Hedong! Li Cunhuan's eyes were blood-red, and he roared in a low voice, his voice was not loud, but there was an indescribable murderous aura.

The lord of Jiexiu was stunned at once, after all, she was just a girl in a rebellious period. What he said just now was just angry words, but he didn't want to attract Li Cunhuan to say such a cruel word.

"Help me up!" Li Cunhuan didn't pay attention to the stunned Jiexiu County Lord, and commanded the soldiers of Tieying on the side. The two Iron Eagle soldiers hurriedly walked up and put on a thick and warm mink coat for Li Cunhuan.

When Li Cunhuan was leaving, he didn't forget to say: "Take the county lord back to the room!" Don't let her come into contact with anyone. All the servants she brought from the east of the river were killed! Leave not a single one! ”

"No!" The soldier hurriedly replied.

When the county lord of Jiexiu heard this, he reacted and cried bitterly: "Your Highness! I was wrong! Your Highness, please spare them! They don't know anything! ”

Li Cunhuan hesitated and said, "Those who participated in the beating of Miss Li Sumei were killed, and the others were placed under house arrest in Lujiazhuang." They are not allowed to come into contact with the lord of Jiexiu! ”

"No!" The soldier repeated.

Yu Xianyun leaned quietly on the side of the bed, she still didn't know why Li Cunhuan was so angry. But her weak surname made her dare not ask, she was just terrified like never before, would His Highness have snubbed her from now on?

"Feng Baodu! Where are you! Li Cunhuan moved slowly and shouted.

"Your Highness! The end will be! Feng Baodu walked over quickly and said respectfully.

"Prepare the carriage!" Li Cunhuan commanded.

"No need, Your Highness! The last general made his own decision and left the plain girl! Please go to the next courtyard with the last general! Feng Baodu said respectfully.

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that this kid of yours has such a smart day!" The treasury receives a reward of 30 times! ”

Feng Baodu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he knew that Li Cunhuan would probably find Li Sumei when he woke up, and his actions made Li Cunhuan appreciate him a little more.

Although Li Cunhuan wanted to walk over quickly, he was helplessly weak, so he could only walk out of the gate slowly with the support of two personal soldiers. As soon as he got out of the gate, Li Cunhuan saw Li Sumei, quietly leaning on the edge of the wooden door in the courtyard next door, her red lips were tightly pursed, her eyes were filled with distressing tears, and her white jade face had a little bruises. It's even more endearing.

"Sumei, I'm late! You've been wronged! Li Cunhuan waved his hands and broke free from the support of his own soldiers. In front of his own woman, Li Cunhuan hopes to show his strong and tough side.

"Your Highness......" Li Sumei saw Li Cunhuan coming over, and wanted to run over, but as soon as she took a step, she didn't know what the reason was, so she changed to kneeling down on her knees and saluting respectfully.

Li Cunhuan hurriedly walked up to Li Sumei, held Li Sumei's jade arms, and scolded softly: "Don't you still know my mind?" ”

Li Cunhuan doesn't need to call himself a lonely king, this is to show affection. Li Sumei also understood Li Cunhuan's intentions, but she didn't know what scruples she had, so she lowered her head and muttered: "Your Highness, I'm just a little slave girl, Your Highness ......"

"It was the lord of Jiexiu who told you, right?" When Li Cunhuan heard this, he immediately interrupted Li Sumei's self-pity. "When it comes to background, I'm even more of an outcast, and do you think you're a person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix? Or do you think I'm thinking you're climbing the dragon and the phoenix? ”

"Your Highness, I don't want you to be embarrassed. The county lord is the daughter of the king of Jin, and you will fight the king of Jin for my sake! Li Sumei lowered her head, gently pulled out the jade hand that was caught by Li Cunhuan, and muttered.

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said, "You underestimate me too much, right?" Do you still have the guts to trouble me? Hum! I didn't trouble him, so he begged God to worship the Buddha! ”

"Your Highness!" Li Sumei raised her head and just wanted to persuade.

Li Cunhuan made a bold move that no one expected, Li Cunhuan held Li Sumei's little head with both hands and kissed Li Sumei's red lips fiercely. Li Sumei's eyes widened, and she was completely stunned. After half a sound, he suddenly pushed Li Cunhuan away, Li Cunhuan's body was weak, he stumbled and almost fell.

"Your Highness! You're ...... That's when I was who I was! Li Sumei blushed, and two crystal clear tears flowed from her eyes, as if they were strung together with crystals.

"I'm announcing it to everyone!" Li Cunhuan looked at Li Sumei, who looked like a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain, with pity, and said loudly: "You are my woman!" If you want to get it! Then step on my Li Cunhuan's corpse! ”

"Your Highness!" In the end, a woman is an animal with a surname, as soon as Li Cunhuan's heartfelt words came out, Li Sumei was already moved.

Li Cunhuan took a step forward, grabbed Li Sumei's jade hand with one hand and said, "Go!" I personally came to your house to ask your father for marriage! You will be my lady! ”

"Your Highness, you are not in line with etiquette!" Li Sumei struggled slightly and retorted.

"Etiquette is determined by man! Nature also varies from person to person! Li Cunhuan said with a smile, but his eyes were full of determination.

Li Sumei knew that this was inappropriate, so she tried her best to persuade her: "Your Highness, if I don't marry Your Highness!" ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and scolded with a smile: "Forget it, since you don't want to." Feng Baodu! ”

"The last general!" Feng Baodu immediately rushed out and said respectfully.

"You go and arrange a matchmaker! If you want the best matchmaker to ask for a kiss, you don't have to be stingy with money in gifts! Li Cunhuan commanded, and immediately turned his head to look at Li Sumei, and said with a smile: "Come home with me now, right?" ”

Li Sumei lowered her head shyly, like a beautiful and ripe flower, waiting for someone to pick it.

Li Cunhuan grabbed Li Sumei's jade hand and grinned, as if the depression of many days was swept away with this smile.

However, when Li Cunhuan thought of the problem of being responsible for his own women, Li Cunhuan couldn't help but have a headache again. Back at the palace, Li Cunhuan decided to hold a feast three days later to marry Li Sumei and Yu Xianyun.

Originally, everyone was still wondering which of these two was the princess, but they didn't want Li Cunhuan to canonize any princess at all. Instead, they were canonized as concubines. This is even more strange to everyone.

In the case of the prince, the original match is naturally the princess, and the princess is not the side concubine or Fujin, those are all later. In the Tang Dynasty, below the princess were the lady and the widow, and there were only two legal widows, but where did the man have only two concubines? There is the existence of the lady. And there are two kinds of Mrs., one is similar to the title lady of the side concubine, that is, there is a title, such as what is like a flower, like jade, and the other is without a title, such as Yu Xianyun, he is called Mrs. Xianyun or Mrs. Yu. There are also Ji and maids who are not in the stream.

Li Cunhuan canonized Li Sumei as Concubine Lian, and Yu Xianyun was canonized as Concubine Yu, ranking more than a third-grade official. Yu Xianyun was happy at this time, knowing that Li Cunhuan did not snub her.

Li Cunhuan was actually quite helpless to do this, but fortunately, Li Sumei and Yu Xianyun were all people with softer surnames, and they were not jealous, so Li Cunhuan's backyard was stable.

In the end, Li Cunhuan sent someone to announce the decree and canonize Ying Lian as Mrs. Lu Guo, but Li Cunhuan did not say what treatment was arranged, but just asked Wang Maozhang to personally escort Ying Lian to the north, and all the treatment was preferential.

After dealing with the personal affairs of his children, Li Cunhuan also focused on Li Keyong wholeheartedly. Li Keyong occupied Hedong, and Li Cunhuan had to destroy him. Because the topography of the two rivers is like two rivers, the name is two, but it is one. Therefore, since ancient times, the two rivers have been fighting against each other, until one of them falls.

However, now the heavy snow covers the mountains, and the east of the river is even more mountains and rivers, although unlike Shuzhong, the mountain road is dangerous. But now marching in the winter is not so easy to walk.

Li Cunhuan decided to wait until the spring to gather troops and horses to march into Hedong, anyway, Li Ke has used his troops for all these years, and his foundation is not as thick as himself. In the spring, when the green and yellow were not harvested, Li Cunhuan was never afraid of not being able to consume Li Keyong.

After all, Li Cunhuan has Liaodong and Xiongjin as granaries behind him, and although he has just gone through the war, he can still deliver the food needed by Li Cunhuan's 150,000 troops every year when he is able to maintain his own military supply. In this troubled world, grain is stronger than copper coins.

But he didn't want to, Li Cunhuan hadn't made an attack plan yet, and Zhou Dewei made a performance, which can be described as causing an uproar.

In the recital, Zhou Dewei denounced the regiment's training except for the border area, which can only be used, and other places can only defend the territory. Zhou Dewei suggested that Li Cunhuan should change the regimental training system more thoroughly and move towards the government military system. At the same time, the training of more than 800,000 regiments was reduced to 200,000 government soldiers, or 100,000 professional soldiers were recruited instead.

Li Cunhuan saw it and hesitated. However, Zhou Dewei put forward several opinions in it, so that Li Cunhuan had to be cautious. First, the regiment is half peasant and half soldier in training, and it is very brave when it guards its homeland, but once it goes out to fight, it is very home-loving and its morale is not high. Second, Lu Long is now in an offensive posture, except for the border pass, where will there be too much threat? Why do you need to maintain a huge regimental training? Third, regimental training is not professional enough, and many people are lazy during the 10-day training every month, and some people spend a day or two on the way back and forth, and often the training time is not 10 days.

Li Cunhuan felt that Zhou Dewei's opinion was good, but how many people's interests were harmed by the disarmament of more than 800,000 people at once? It is impossible for Li Cunhuan to be imprudent, and if it is not done well, it will lead to civil strife. But Zhou Dewei's opinion is not wrong, wouldn't it be better to put limited resources on offense?

However, some people soon came to the table, and many local town generals (the county's top military commanders) and regimental training envoys all jointly signed a concert to oppose Zhou Dewei's opinion. There are even many people who say that Zhou Dewei was defeated by Zhu Wen because of the battle in Yingzhou, and he moved to the army to train soldiers.

Li Cunhuan thought about it again and again, gritted his teeth, and asked the regiments in various places to train 50,000 troops, plus the 50,000 regiments that had participated in the southward operation before, to form the Fifth Army, which was divided into the Bohai Navy, which was dominated by people from Yichang Domain, Zuoyan [***], and Youyan [***], and the Long March Army and Yuanwei Army, which were dominated by people from Andong Domain. Each army was about 20,000 each.

Among them, the Bohai Navy stayed in Pinglu, while Qingzhou reduced the army to 80,000, Qingzhou to retain 10,000 soldiers and horses, Laizhou and Dengzhou to retain 6,000 soldiers and horses, and the naval army was counted separately. Zizhou and Qizhou left 8,000 soldiers and horses. The entire Pinglu Domain has a total of 38,000 soldiers and horses, and the Bohai Navy is only 58,000, which is much weaker than the previous army of more than 100,000.

Li Cunhuan relied on the 80,000 troops of Pinglu to raise his 100,000 new army. At the same time, there was a shortage of 100,000 regiments for training, and Li Cunhuan also ordered all localities not to recruit again. At the same time, because of the problem of military spending, the regimental training fee was cut by one-fifth. Although the regiment training was dissatisfied, it was better than what Zhou Dewei said, cutting more than 800,000 troops.

Li Cunhuan calmed the waves set off by Zhou Dewei at this time, but Li Cunhuan also had some plans, these 100,000 new troops, except for 20,000 people staying in Qingzhou, would become troops marching into Hedong.

Li Cunhuan appointed Zhou Dewei as the commander of Zuoyan [***], Wang Maozhang as the commander of Right Yan [***], and Fu Cunxian as the commander of the Long March Army, but as for Yuan Congjun, Li Cunhuan did not appoint him. Arouse the thoughts of countless people.

The Yuan Congjun are all Northland Han'er, and 10,000 of them are cavalry troops, and their elite level is the highest in the New Fifth Army.

Some people say that His Royal Highness the King of Qin wants Li (Cunxiao) to serve as the Grand Governor, but the Grand Governor cannot use force now. His Royal Highness was afraid that the Metropolitan Governor would go to the battlefield, and as soon as the blood came, he went to the battlefield regardless of it, but harmed the Metropolitan Governor.

Some people say that His Royal Highness King Qin actually wants to let the marching Sima named Guo Chongtao serve as the commander, but how old is Guo Chongtao? It's just in your early twenties, so you can take on such a heavy responsibility!

In fact, the candidate Li Cunhuan has set in his heart is neither Li Cunxiao nor Guo Chongtao. But Ge Congzhou, who is about to be forgotten by the world, from being captured to the present, Li Cunhuan has sent many eloquent people to persuade Ge Congzhou, and mobilized Ge Congzhou's old mother, wife, and righteous son Xie Yanzhang to persuade him, and Ge Congzhou did not surrender.

Li Cunhuan decided to personally persuade him to surrender, although it was not the first time for him, but he had already decided in his heart that this was the last time. If Ge Congzhou is unwilling to surrender, Li Cunhuan will send Ge Congzhou to North Korea, and let Ge Congzhou deal with Baekje and the remnants of Silla, and get there anyway. Whether Ge Congzhou is willing or unwilling, Li Cunhuan will also ask him to put on a set of military uniforms for him to go to the battlefield.

Those remnants couldn't speak Chinese, and even if Ge Congzhou shouted surrender, he would be slashed with a knife. Li Cunhuan still doesn't believe that Ge Congzhou is a person who is willing to die at the hands of nobodies.

However, what made Li Cunhuan strange was that Ge Congzhou listened to Li Cunhuan's straightforward persuasion, and said with a wry smile in the first sentence: "Do I still have a choice?" Today, the old man can see that His Royal Highness King Qin, this is your last persuasion, right? Maybe you will see Zhang'er (Xie Yanzhang)'s love and won't poison me. But I guess I'll be assigned there! ”

"What does Ge Gong mean?" When Li Cunhuan heard this, he didn't refute it, and looked at Ge Congzhou noncommittally.

"Hey! Naturally, it is only as His Highness wishes! However, the old man said first, King Liang was kind to the old man, and the old man was not an ungrateful person. However, the food of the king is the king's lu, and the worry of the king is beared. Therefore, the old man is here in the third chapter of the general's covenant, otherwise His Royal Highness will exile the old man there, and the old man is casual! Ge Congzhou said firmly.

Li Cunhuan opened his mouth and asked, "Then I don't know what conditions Ge Gong has?" ”

Ge Congzhou looked at Li Cunhuan with a serious face, stretched out a finger, and said in a deep voice: "Monthly pass!" ”

"Hmmm! This one is worth considering, but what about the second condition? When Li Cunhuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, revealing a deep expression.

Ge Congzhou stretched out two fingers and said, "Two! Pass! ”

Without waiting for Li Cunhuan to speak, he stretched out his third finger and said, "Three!" Pass! As long as you give the monthly pass, the old man will surrender without saying a word! ”

Li Cunhuan cried and begged: "Everyone! Is there a commuter pass? Without a monthly pass, this old man refuses to surrender! ”
