40. Love the cool sea

To be a good commander of the good, it is not suitable to live in the barracks again, Bo Lai is determined to build a house for Princess Yichun at the foot of the Fairy Lake under the Fairy Mountain one hundred and eighty miles northwest of Xiao Chang'an, Yang Hao asked him which place is suitable for construction, Bo Lai knew it in his heart, and immediately accompanied the commander to a small mountain recess under the Fairy Mountain, which is about one mile away from the Fairy Lake, the terrain is high in the north and the south, backed by the west peak of the Fairy Mountain, by the mountains and rivers, the winding path is quiet, about three miles away from the Fairy Mountain Town, and about seven miles away from the camp of the Xining Army. There are two ready-made trails, which can be opened to traffic with a little transformation.

Bamboo Creek flows out from the west peak of Fairy Mountain, because the underground spring water in the desert is abundant, its water volume is not small, and because it is groundwater, the water is cold and piercing, Fairy Mountain Town once flourished when Yang Hao was in charge of Fengzhou, the household registration has reached 7,000 households, more than many famous cities and states, in the north of it along the banks of the Yellow River there are dozens of large and small villages, the river boat and the river flow endlessly, prosperous as the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but since Yang Hao's defeat, Xiao Mingyue was in power, Fengzhou gradually declined, Fairy Mountain Town was almost deserted, and those villages were only left with empty names, The village has fallen, and it has regained its former tranquility,

Yang Hao was determined to reactivate Ji Hongtu as the municipal envoy of Fairy Mountain Town, restore industry and commerce, and at the same time accepted Bo Lai's painstaking efforts, so that he quietly built a mansion, Bo Lei understood his thoughts, and the general tasted the joy of offering treasures, and was ready to repeat his old tricks.

Li Qing still knew that Yang Hao was building a private house for her outside, she immediately turned her face, ruthlessly announced that she had broken off relations with Yang Hao, and swore that she would never see him again in this life, in fact, since she was coaxed into the car by Yang Hao that day and went around with him in Xiaochang'an in a daze, the relationship between the two has become delicate: one suddenly has no news and will not visit again; The other shut himself up in his tent all day long, feeling sorry for himself, miserable, and refusing to see anyone again.

After two days of cold war, in order to completely cut off the thoughts of some people, she ruthlessly gave Hua Yiwei a death order: anyone must not approach her sleeping tent, and violators will be killed, for fear of making things stiff, Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu discussed privately, found Dongfang Lan together, told him Li Qing's order, and asked him to dissuade Yang Hao from persecuting too much,

Dongfang Lan agreed, he knew in his heart that these days were the invitation of Princess Yichun, and the handsome man had no time to pass, for the matter of entering Xia Sui, the handsome man was busy day and night, how could he have time to take care of her, although Dongfang Lan was young and unsophisticated, but he was a smart person in the end, since he learned from Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu that Li Qing was angry with Yang Hao and had a cold fight, he paid attention, he went to Princess Yichun's bedroom three times a day, morning, noon and evening, in the name of Yang Hao.

Because of the obstruction of Huayiwei, he never dared to approach the sleeping tent, and he never had the opportunity to finish the greetings, he always put down the tea and fruit points he brought in Li Qing's roar, and then fled in disgrace.

After a month like this, one day Dongfang Lan brought tea and food again, and saw the sisters Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu who were guarding outside the tent, and said to the two of them, indicating that they had something to say.

Dongfang Lan is respectful and careful these days, and the two of them have a good impression of him, thinking that he is going to pass on something about Yang Hao, so they stepped forward together to ask, not wanting to just get close to Dongfang Lan, ten elite guards suddenly rushed out of the four corners, swords and guns came out together, forcing Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu sisters, Dongfang Lan apologized, and said: "The commander wants to see the princess, please make it convenient for the two of you." When he said that he was offended, he dismounted the weapons of the two men and escorted them down with the guards.

Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu did not make the slightest resistance from beginning to end, Yang Hao asked Dongfang Lan to guard the door of the tent, and he got into it alone, what the two talked about in the tent, no one knew, but soon heard Li Qing screaming in her throat, and then she was crying and making trouble, there was a chaotic sound of ping-pong, the guards suspected that the two of them had mobilized swords, and asked Dongfang Lan for instructions on whether to go in and interfere, Dongfang Lan was silent, and the commander repeatedly told him before entering the tent that even if the tent was on fire, no one else was allowed to approach, how could he dare to make a mistake,

It was tossed until the second half of the night, when the sound in the tent was lowered, except for a few faint sobs, until dawn the tent was silent, and even the lights and candles were extinguished.

Jin Taoyin and Tang Yu knelt on the three poles of the sun, Yang Hao came out of the tent, seeing that the two were still kneeling there, they hurriedly stepped forward and helped the two of them, because they knelt for too long, both of them were unstable, Yang Hao scolded Dongfang Lan who was standing on the side to help support, Dongfang Lan clumsily dragged Jin Taoyin, and was pushed away by her force, she and Tang Yu knelt down to Yang Hao and said: "The princess has been lonely since she was a child, and she has suffered many misfortunes when she grows up, and her heart is as wide as the sea. ”

Yang Hao said: "The two girls are affectionate and righteous people, how dare I not listen to your words, although Yang is not talented, he does not dare to be a negative person who has been abandoned from the beginning to the end, Princess Meng will not give up, Yang will take care of her for the rest of her life." ”

When the two heard this, tears poured out, and they hugged each other and cried.

Seeing this situation in Dongfang Lan's eyes, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, as a princess, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but how many people understand her unfortunate fate and almost dead state of mind.

Before the first heavy snowfall of the year, Li Qing's mansion was finally completed, named "Fairy Mountain Courtyard", the name was taken by Yang Hao, Li Qing sneered when he heard it, and said with disdain: "I'm not a fairy, I can't afford to live in your courtyard." Bo Lai hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "Fairy Mountain is the name of the place, it is called casually by the local natives, the princess's mansion princess is in charge, what is the mountain called, what is the water called, naturally the princess Chrysostom is decided, and the handsome man does not dare to do it for him." ”

Li Qing squinted at Yang Hao and said, "That's pretty much the same. Ask Bo Lai: "Your name is Bo Lai." Bo Lai replied: "Yes." Li Qing said: "You are good, follow me in the future." Bo Lai glanced at Yang Hao and said, "It is a humble honor to be able to serve the princess. Li Qing said: "Oh, I forgot to ask, I don't know if Yang Dashuai is willing or not." Bo Lai said: "The handsome princess is sincere and sincere, and there is no reason to disallow it." Li Qing smiled slightly, no longer spoke, she walked along the mountain trail with her hands behind her back, and Bo Lai and the guards of the Jianpu Battalion followed closely behind, following in unison.

The west peak of Fairy Mountain is now changed to "You Yangshan" by Li Qing, Zhuxi is changed to "Qingliang River", Fairy Lake is renamed "Qingliang Sea", and the Fairy Mountain Courtyard is changed to "Qingliang Villa", which is a place where there are mountains and waters, woods and grasslands, your Yangshan Mountain is not high, the mountain shape is round, the surrounding forests are verdant, the Qingliang River folds the bay in the place where it will flow into the Qingliang Sea, Bo Lai is in the situation and guides a white sand beach here, and builds a few wooden houses, which are reserved for summer swimming and summer heat.

This courtyard is located at the foot of your Yang Mountain, five in and five out, hidden in a verdant forest, from the outside, this courtyard is not surprising, or even a little simple, but hidden inside, since the third courtyard, its decoration is not less luxurious than any family in the huge city thirty miles away,

Yang Hao has seen it and is very satisfied, Li Qing also liked this place from the beginning, but she refused to admit it, picking bones in the eggs, and found a bunch of faults, Bo Lai followed behind with the bookstore, and every dissatisfaction was recorded for subsequent revision, and in the end, she really couldn't find anything wrong, so she blamed Yang Hao for being too extravagant and spending money indiscriminately, saying that the people in the northwest were embarrassed, and the winter clothes of the soldiers were not yet available, and you spent so much money to build another courtyard for me, is this filial piety to me, or harm me, There is also the creek outside the courtyard wall, what is the name of the Qingliang River, it is winter now, you want to freeze me to death, Yang Hao wants to remind her, the name of the Qingliang River was taken by yourself, what does it matter to me,

Fortunately, whether it is picking bones in eggs or picking eggs in bones, it seems that Li Qing is still satisfied with what Yang Hao has done for her, and she is grateful, the innocent brilliance shining in her eyes, and the whole person is also rejuvenated, she is walking around her new home with her hands behind her back, full of vitality,

Yang Hao felt that his luck was not in vain,

At dusk, the somewhat tired Princess Yichun finally announced that she had become the owner of this new mansion, and the flower guards who had followed her for many years suddenly let out a burst of cheers, Jin Taoyin happily commanded the soldiers and small servants to carry the boxes and cages, and the new housekeeper of the villa, Bo Lai, led Tang Yu, the new commander of the Jianpu camp, to familiarize himself with this proud work,

Yang Hao mouthed to Li Qingnunu, signaling to go to the river together, the sun had set, her excitement had passed, at the moment people seemed lazy, a little absent-minded, they walked side by side along the cool river to the water, each other couldn't find what to say, Li Qing looked at the light blue cool sea in the distance from time to time, and her eyes revealed a kind of distant and deep peace,

"I want to move the Xining Army camp to Fairy Town recently."

"For me." Li Qing's eyes suddenly turned red, she forced a calm smile and said, after speaking, tears couldn't help but flow, Yang Hao hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her, Li Qing turned him by the hand, and said, "Turn your face away, don't look at it." ”

"What." Yang Hao asked with a smile, he suddenly realized that his style was too narrow, so he hurriedly turned around, gestured in the air with his hand and said, "It looks like it's still empty here, so it's better to get something to put here." ”

Li Qing hurriedly wiped away her tears and echoed: "Yes, it's indeed a space, I want to ......" She looked at the river beach, trying to drag her thoughts back to the front of her, "Here......" She ran to the edge of the beach, pointed to her feet and said, "Build a pavilion here, well, it's not appropriate,...... Then, here, here, there, build a pavilion, set up a swing, by the way, set up a rocking chair to bask in the sun, will there be fish in this river, and then build a fishing platform. ”

"Good idea, well, I think we're going to pull the fence." Yang Hao nodded in agreement,

"What are you going to do with the wall?" Li Qing asked in surprise,

"Anti-theft."

"Someone else dares to come to your house and steal." She laughed,

"Naturally, no one in my family dares, the grassland people will repay him, he doesn't want to live almost, but the princess's family is difficult to say, hasn't Princess Lanling's family been stolen."

"But, this is your house."

"You've declared it its mistress."

Looking at each other, she panicked and fell, and then she said in a muffled voice that she couldn't hear clearly, "No, I can't." ”

Yang Hao shook her hand vigorously and said, "Since we met, we have always had each other in our hearts, right." ”

Li Qing glanced at him in a panic, dodged away, and didn't dare to look at him directly,

"If a lover becomes a family in the end, God will do it, and we will ...... Don't toss anymore, okay. ”

This time Li Qing didn't dodge, she looked at Yang Hao's eyes bravely, and nodded calmly,

……

On the third day when Li Qing moved into Qingliang Villa, Yang Hao officially decided that the Xining Army would camp in Fairy Mountain, and deployed people from all sides in the center to make a large-scale southward invasion.

In less than half a year, Hexi, Mobei, Shuofang, one after another fell into their own hands, and the methods of seizing them were the same, the pioneers made the Uighurs, Shatuo, and Turkic exiles enter the city, and then the displaced people made chaos in the city, and then they captured the city in the name of helping to suppress and quell the rebellion, and the defenders gradually learned to behave, and then saw the Uighurs, Shatuo, and Turkic routs and refugees, and they refused to open the city again.

However, at this time, Yang Hao was already full-fledged, Zheng Huatai and Liu Pan had become famous siege masters, first using superior cavalry to carry out a large depth detour, forcing each city to close the gates of the city to fight separately, dividing and isolating the states and counties, blocking reinforcements hundreds of miles away, and then concentrating twenty times the strength to capture a city. Let them ignore the ragtag army that does not belong to their system, and let them be eaten by the Khitan Liukou bite by bite,

After Liu Pan captured Youzhou and Yulin County, he asked him for instructions to continue southward, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Shence army to capture Xiazhou, Yinzhou, Suizhou, and then south into Suining, Dunfang, and Jingzhaofu, he returned to Fairy Mountain with confidence to ask Yang Hao for battle, boasting that as long as an order is given, he will get three towns and Kyushu within a month, and when he swallows Kyushu, I am afraid that the gang of Shence Army is still in a dream in the clouds.

Zhang Bozhong asked him how you plan to defend Kyushu, Liu Pan said to defend a bird, take the children's jade silk, let's raise our legs and go, after saying this, he suddenly widened his eyes and asked: "Military advisor, don't tell me, let's get a big one, and go to Chang'an in one go." ”

Thinking of Chang'an, he couldn't help but have his eyes shining, and he couldn't suppress his excitement and said: "It's not difficult to take down Chang'an, as long as someone helps me protect the east and west wings, before the snow melts, I will definitely take Chang'an, at that time, the general leader went to Daming Palace to be the emperor, we are the founding fathers, and the marquis will worship each other for all generations." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Panxiao's eyebrows smiled, after speaking, after laughing, he himself suddenly lost his confidence, is Chang'an so easy to fight, the six armies, twelve guards, hundreds of thousands of troops are blocking there, not to mention fighting, standing there and letting you cut them one by one, you have to run thin legs, tired and broken hands, yes, at this moment there are indeed 40,000 people under his command, well-equipped, high morale, in the Mobei grassland, it can be regarded as invincible,

But can be called the desert, but may not be able to dominate the Guanzhong, although these days also laid a lot of cities, but Liu Pan also knows in his heart, those cities are dilapidated, the wall is not high, the pool is not deep, the garrison of the two is thin, more than three or five thousand, less than a few hundred people, the three are not good at food and grass, lack of ordnance, even so, the difficulty of attacking the city has been far beyond their imagination, the city of Suining and Dunfang is not like those earthen forts and stone cities on the grassland, they are all miniature versions of the big stone city, the city wall is high and thick, and the city stores grain and grass. The defenders of the city are familiar with the way of attack and defense, one person is the pass, ten people are difficult to open, it is not easy to capture such a city, and so these heavily defended cities are gnawed down, I am afraid that I will not even have the strength to eat.

Liu Pan, who is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, has calculated that if you want to capture a big city like Xiazhou and Yinzhou, the ratio of attack and defense is mostly ten to one, and one person defends the city, and it takes ten people to be sure to capture it, which also has to be in the absence of foreign aid, think about the north of Chang'an, the heroic cities on the land of Guanzhong, Liu Pan's arrogance was extinguished in an instant, he thought privately, even if he attacked Chang'an City in one go, thinking about the tens of thousands of officials in the city, tens of thousands of royal relatives, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and millions of people, how can he control it,

Soldiers under Jiancheng are really taboo for soldiers, and Liu Pan still knows this.

Therefore, when Zhang Bozhong asked him how to attack Chang'an City, Liu Pan said haha: "I will definitely not be able to rely on one of them, at least we have to let Da Zhi and Brother Zheng go to the battle for us, otherwise, we are afraid that we will not be able to get him." ”

When Zhang Bozhong heard this, he shouted: "It's good if you know, think about such unrealistic ideas, don't even think about it in the future, the Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for more than a hundred years, even if it is not as good as in the past, it is not something we can shake." ”

Liu Panhan said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, the military adviser has taught me a lesson, but now the morale is booming, if there is no war, wouldn't it suffocate people, and it is not cost-effective to talk about it." ”

Zhang Bozhong said: "Who said that there was no war, didn't you want to fight Kyushu." ”

Liu Pan was confused when he heard this, stared at Zhang Bozhong with a pair of bull's eyes, and then looked at Yang Hao, and asked cautiously: "The Great Commander has agreed to fight Kyushu." ”

Yang Hao said: "Of course Kyushu has to fight, there is no reason not to eat the meat in your mouth, you go back and prepare immediately, I and the military adviser will go south in a few days, and we will have to take a good look at the performance at that time." ”

Liu interrogated: "The three armies have already been prepared, but I don't know if I will do it after the commander and military division go south, or I will do it after returning to the camp." ”

Yang Hao said: "The soldiers are fast, if you want to fight, you must seize the opportunity, you can act when you have the opportunity." ”

Liu Pan said yes, and was about to withdraw, Yang Hao called him back and said: "I discussed with the military advisor, and I will match you with a person who is familiar with the geography and folk customs of Guanzhong to join the army, don't bully him when he is young, his ability is not under the military advisor, you respect him well, and you have your own benefits." Liu Pan smiled: "I'm worried about this matter, thank you for remembering." "Send Liu Pan back,

Zhang Bozhong said: "When does the marshal plan to leave?" ”

Yang Hao sighed: "I'll do it two days later, you and the one-eyed dragon will leave tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Bozhong said: "We are going, is it a big fanfare, or a secret south." ”

Yang Hao pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I'll do the swaggering thing of crossing the street." ”
