Chapter 426: That little thing in Hebei

Li Xian stood up, took the small iron basin with spices from Jia'er's hand, squatted by the fire, and seriously brushed each piece of meat with the sauce, his movements were very gentle, carefully as if he was checking the military map, not at all like he was roasting, his expression and movements made people look at it and give birth to the illusion that he was sincerely worshipping.

Barbecue is barbecue, just eating, why be sincere?

"It's as hard to eat as there is nothing in the world"

Li Xian smiled and said, "There is nothing more important than having a full stomach." ”

Ye Huaisleeve and Jia'er both know that he suffers too much from snacks, and many times he may not be able to eat a full meal all day, so Li Xian always seems very delicate and picky about eating. Of course, this refinement and pickiness is not picky about the ingredients, not luxury, but taking every meal seriously.

"I think it's hard to keep the world."

Ye Huaisleeve sat down by the fire and said lightly.

"Shoucheng?"

Li Xian glanced at Ye Huaisleeve, thought for a while and said, "You're thinking too far." ”

Ye Huaisleeve smiled, combed the hair hanging down in front of his forehead and said, "How can you say that?" Shou Dacheng did think a little farther, after all, it was something that was not known. can keep this small success now, but it is the most urgent and important thing in front of us. Dongping County, Jibei County, Jiyin County, the newly expanded territory has not yet sent officials to sit in the town, nor has you arranged the matter of raising the people in Tuntian, although the situation over there is tattered and trivial, but after all, it is also the territory of Yanyunzhai now, so you can't just sit back and watch. ”

"Hehe......"

Li Xian smiled and divided some of the cooked meat slices into two parts, one for Ye Huaisleeve and one for Jia'er, while he himself sat by the fire and fiddled with the charcoals.

"What you said makes sense, if Yang Guang knew how to keep the way, the world of the Great Sui would not be broken and rotten to the point of being so prosperous, thirty years of prosperity and strength, he was so rotten to the root, and I don't know if he is distressed or not."

Ye Huaisleeve was slightly angry when he saw Li Xian divert his topic.

"If you don't send officials to those newly expanded territories, it will also be shattered and eroded."

Ye Huaisleeve was not tactful at all, she knew that Li Xian would never be angry because of her reminder. If he couldn't even listen to this advice, Li Xian wouldn't have so many, and even more and more people would assist. She just couldn't understand that Li Xian was not a foolish idiot, how could he be so procrastinating in this matter. In today's troubled times, if the seized territory is not stabilized as soon as possible, it is impossible to say that it will be robbed by others tomorrow. After a fierce battle before, although Wagangzhai suffered extremely heavy losses, it was temporarily unable to move eastward, nor was it able to regain the territory occupied by Yanyunzhai, but this does not mean that others do not have the courage.

Xu Yuanlang has long coveted the counties of Henan, if it weren't for the fact that Wagangzhai and Zhishilang Wang Bo's men and horses were defeated too quickly a while ago, I am afraid that he would have already raised troops to the south.

There is also Dou Jiande, although he withdrew most of Wang Fubao's army on the north bank of the Yellow River, but he also left Su Dingfang, with him as the main general, with 20,000 horses stationed on the north bank, and he may enter Jibei County at any time. Wang Bo fled, although Jibei County is barren, but as long as it is managed for two years, it can be restored, and now the heroes on the green forest road are expanding their territory like crazy, but Li Xian does not care much about what he has grabbed.

"I know what you mean."

Li Xian fiddled with the charcoal fire, sorted out the wording and asked: "The previous battle with Wagangzhai and Wang Bo seemed to be simple and easy to win, and even easy to a bit of child's play, but I don't think you can't see the danger, and you won't care about it at all." ”

Hearing Li Xian talk about this, Ye Huaisleeve straightened up and nodded: "It is indeed dangerous, if you are a little careless, the territory of the three counties under your name is very likely to be divided by Li Mi, Dou Jiande, and Wang Bo...... There is also Xu Yuanlang, that person's ambition is not small at all than Li Mi. ”

She glanced at Li Xian and said seriously: "If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Liang was the internal response in Wagang Village and defeated Li Mi in the fastest time, if it weren't for the fact that Wang Bo's men and horses were indeed too weak, and Xu Shiji's ability to lead the troops was too strong, as long as it took some more time, Dou Jiande would definitely not be so calm again, even if he knew that he would suffer heavy losses when crossing the river to the south, he would still let Wang Fubao cross the Yellow River strongly." ”

Xu Yuanlang will never miss this opportunity, and will immediately lead the army south. And Li Mi also has a backhand, he can withdraw the men and horses who attacked Yangwu, Yuanwu, and even Liyang at any time. At that time, Yanyunzhai may face a coalition army of more than 600,000. ”

Li Xian nodded and asked, "Then what do you think is the chance of winning with the strength of Yanyunzhai now, defeating the 600,000 coalition army head-on?" ”

"Sancheng"

Ye Huaisleeve thought for a while and said.

"In my opinion, there are no two percent."

Li Xian smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't slap my ass, speak realistically." ”

"It's true that there is not even a 20% chance of winning."

Ye Huaisleeve didn't mind Li Xian pointing out that she was not honest in her speech, and her face did not change in the slightest.

"So, now you know why you haven't sent officials and troops to the new territory."

Li Xian picked up a piece of barbecue meat and threw it into his mouth, feeling that the heat was a little old, and then he was a little annoyed, feeling sorry for a good piece of meat but not roasting the best taste.

"I see."

Ye Huaisleeve nodded and said seriously: "It's me who thinks too shallowly. ”

"It's okay"

Li Xian smiled and said: "Women are much more meticulous and cautious in handling things than men, and they are also organized, and they can always anticipate crises earlier than men, just when looking at the overall situation...... Because of the character, it is inevitable that it will be a little superficial. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ye Huaisleeve said lightly.

Li Xian smiled and said, "Why aren't you angry?" ”

Ye Huaisleeve said: "You are right, why should I be angry?" ”

"It's Yang Guang, the Great Sui Emperor, and he doesn't have your heart!"

Li Xian said very seriously.

Ye Huaisleeve was a little annoyed this time, looked at Li Xian and said solemnly: "Don't scold!" ”

……

……

Jia'er looked at Li Xian, and then at Ye Huaisleeve, and couldn't help but think with some inferiority, Miss understands what the general means, but why haven't I understood it at all? Why didn't the general send officials to the newly occupied territory, and what did what he said before have to do with it? What Li Mi, what Dou Jiande, Wang Fubao, what Su Dingfang, what Xu Yuanlang, what Wang Bo, what do these people have to do with the newly robbed territory?

She was puzzled, so her face flushed slightly.

In the cold winter, the girl wearing a water-green cotton dress already looks beautiful, and then blushing a little, it looks even more pleasing to the eye.

Ye Huaisleeve glanced at Jia'er, then pursed his lips and smiled.

Jia'er didn't understand the meaning of the conversation between the general and the young lady just now, but she immediately understood what the young lady meant by this smile just now. Therefore, her face immediately became even more red, as if she had just drunk half a catty of peach blossom wine, and she was so drunk that people would be drunk when they saw it.

Historically, when a young lady marries, the personal maid has to marry together, even if she doesn't have the status of a concubine, she can't marry someone else. So Jia'er felt that she was in a very embarrassing situation a long time ago, but a young girl with a heart of spring knew who her future husband was, especially since this husband was still a hero who stood up to the sky and the earth, and he was a handsome and handsome man, how could she not be tempted?

Annoyingly, Li Xian didn't seem to have any interest in her. I've always been respectful.,Although occasionally making some jokes.,But always keep a constant distance.。 Until...... On the riverside of Jiangdu, when the three hundred green-shirted swordsmen killed all the red-robed secret guards, Li Xian's hug made her instantly obsessed with this feeling.

This is a man's concern, and it is Li Xian's concern.

It is true that the reason why Li Xian went to Jiang was to bring Yu Wenshi over, and to slap the emperor a few times, and by the way, he wanted to bring in a large number of baggage armor, but Jia'er knew that if it weren't for himself, Li Xian would not have gone in such a hurry.

The feeling is sweet and blissful, as if falling into a pool of honey.

Since Jiang Du came back, in front of Li Xian, she has lost her previous sassy and free and easy, but has become extremely easy to blush, and often the tenderness in her fingertips and eyes will be inadvertently revealed. Ye Huaisleeve has been with her for so many years, how can she not see it?

So Jia'er blushed before, she thought that this little girl was thinking about a man.

Jia'er was very uncomfortable with Ye Huaisleeve's smile, she twisted her body a little embarrassed, hung her head to eat barbecue, but unfortunately forgot that the meat was hot, and her tongue was burned all of a sudden, and she let out a low exclamation in pain.

"Stupid!"

Li Xian smiled, took out a white handkerchief and handed it over.

Jia'er took it and wiped her mouth, but she didn't dare to look up at Li Xian's eyes.

"I'm stupid......"

Jia'er said in a very low voice: "Until now, I still don't understand what the two of you said before, General and Miss, mean. What does not send officials to newly occupied territories have to do with the previous fierce wars? ”

"It's a big deal."

Li Xian patiently explained: "The reason why the previous fierce battle was actually extremely dangerous is because our territory has expanded rapidly, but the number of troops is insufficient, and there are few skilled and capable talents. Qi County and Lu County are guarded by Xu Shiji, and Dongping County is guarded by myself, which looks stable as a mountain, but in fact, it is fundamentally unstable, especially Qi County and Lu County, which have not yet been completely controlled, and the people are not as supportive of our Yanyunzhai as they are for Zhang Xutuo. ”

"In the land of three counties, millions of people, so much so that I had to divide my troops to defend it. It is precisely because of the division of troops that the enemy is given too many opportunities to take advantage of. Now that the war has just passed, our Yanyunzhai has lost a lot of men and horses, although it has grabbed a lot of territory, but if it is divided to defend the town, the troops will become even weaker. ”

"If Li Mi and others come to attack again, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold those newly occupied territories by then. Not only is it untenable, but it will affect the overall situation because of the rout and retreat, and if there are more routs, the morale and morale of the army will collapse, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to redeem it. ”

Jia'er thought carefully about Li Xian's words, nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Li Xian smiled, lowered his head and flipped the barbecue over.

Ye Huaisleeve added: "So, instead of scattering the troops to protect various places, it is better to spend all your energy on stabilizing Qi County and Lu County, knowing what to take and what to give up." Dongping County, Qi County, Lu County, and large areas of barren land are not cultivated, and the officials and the army themselves are already a little stretched. Therefore, it is better to move all the people who newly occupied the enemy to the three counties of Qilu and Dongping, and let them go to Tuntian to raise troops. ”

"One more thing."

Jia'er nodded and asked: "Miss said just now that Xue Shixiong, the general of the imperial court's left imperial guard, was ambushed by Dou Jiande in the Juma River, and the whole army was annihilated, and General Xue was also defeated, but why do you all say that it wasn't Dou Jiande who did it?" ”

"Dou Jiande doesn't have that ability!"

Ye Huaichong smiled: "The situation he is facing now is the same as our Yanyun Village, the territory is expanding too fast, although it claims to have more than 100,000 troops, most of them are new recruits, and they have no combat power. He still has to divide his troops to guard everywhere, where does he dare to provoke Xue Shixiong easily? Again...... The Juma River is so far away from Zhaozhou, and the Zhaozhou army has to pass through several counties that are still in the hands of the imperial court when it goes north, how could Xue Shixiong not know? ”

"Dou Jiande proclaimed himself the king of Changle, the governor of Zhaozhou, and regarded himself as a court official, and now he is still looking forward to Yang Guang's decree to recognize his status, and he has been sending people to operate in Jiangdu these days, so that money can be bribed - officials help him speak, how can he kill Xue Shixiong at this time?"

"Who would have done that?"

Jia'er was puzzled: "Except for Dou Jiande and Xu Yuanlang in Hebei, who has this strength?" ”

"There is no green forest road, and the officers and soldiers naturally still have it."

Ye Huaisleeve asked: "If the imperial court really appoints Dou Jiande as the governor of Zhaozhou and recognizes his status, who is the biggest threat?" Once Dou Jiande becomes a court official, then who would think that this is a knife pierced in his heart? Cut off his financial path and his future? ”

"It's Luo Yi!"

Jia'er suddenly realized, and her eyes brightened.
