Li Rupei tried his best to disagree with the public and insisted on personally leading the 50,000 troops stationed in Huainan Province to conquer, Xie Yuxin, Zhu Wen and Zhao Laibao followed Li Rupei to fight, Gao Chibang led 20,000 troops, Huang Biao and Song Hu and others followed the battle, responsible for exterminating Huangchao.

The 30,000 iron-blooded soldiers who remained in Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road were under the unified command of Cui Anqian.

There is no objection to this arrangement, Cui Anqian is Li Rupei's father-in-law, and his daughter Cui Hanlei is the princess, not to mention that when Cui Anqian served as the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, he was originally an outstanding commander, if it weren't for Li Rupei's insistence, this battle to conquer Yangzhou would have been directly commanded by Cui Anqian.

Everyone still has some opinions about Li Rupei's personal involvement in danger and the fact that he must command the battle.

Li Rupei ignored these opinions, but the night before departure, he confided in Cui Anqian.

Ru Pei believes that the status of Yangzhou is far more important than Huang Chao, Huang Chao is afraid of the Iron Army, and does not dare to confront the Iron Blood Army head-on, after leaving Huainan Road, he has been wandering in Jiangnan Road for a long time, and there is basically no foundation, and the Iron and Blood Army should be expected to destroy Huang Chao, but the process is more difficult, after all, Huang Chao is used to mobile combat, and he will run if he can't win, so the Iron Blood Army needs to really give full play to the iron and blood spirit, and he will not give Huang Chao any chance.

Yangzhou is different, the 80,000 troops stationed there have a certain degree of discipline, and they have also fought many times, with rich experience, and when the iron-blooded army fights with it, there are certain difficulties and need to be planned many times.

The status of Yangzhou is too important, no less than the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang, once the iron-blooded army occupies Yangzhou, it is equivalent to having a cornucopia, as long as it can be managed well, the military salary can be fully guaranteed, so that the burden of the people can be reduced, and taxes can be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, he personally commanded the campaign to occupy Yangzhou.

For Li Rupei's analysis, Cui Anqian fully agrees, the army will inevitably cause losses to the people, even if the iron-blooded army is disciplined, but sometimes the collection of grain and grass also needs the people to contribute, this degree must be grasped well, and the people cannot be displaced, otherwise after occupying the entire Huainan Province. You still need to clean up the mess yourself.

Cui Anqian insisted on leading the army to fight, after all, Li Rupei's identity is not ordinary, he is the military soul of the iron-blooded army, and he can't make any mistakes, but Li Rupei said something that made Cui Anqian cry and laugh, Li Rupei said that he was impatient to do specific things, if he stayed in Xiangyang, he would preside over many government affairs in Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road. I'm afraid I'm going to be annoyed, it's better to go out on a campaign, it's much more refreshing.

Li Rupei said such words, so that Cui Anqian had no reason to refute. After such a long time, Li Rupei in his impression basically did not do specific things, and all government affairs were handled by the officials below. Li Rupei only put forward macro opinions and suggestions.

It is precisely because of Li Rupei's words that Cui Anqian clearly felt that Li Rupei was a natural emperor.

It is impossible to hide the news. Princess Cui Hanlei soon knew that Li Rupei was about to lead the army to the battle, Cui Qiuyue, Yu Yurong and Yu Lianhan all knew that several women must be unhappy and worried, if there is any accident in their husband, it is not something they can bear.

Contrary to Li Rupei's expectations, Cui Hanlei actually summoned Cui Qiuyue, Yu Yurong and Yu Lianhan together, and when Li Rupei finished handling official business, they collectively appeared in front of Li Rupei.

Cui Qiuyue has been pregnant for a few months, and she is pregnant.

Li Rupei blinked, looked at several women, felt the loss, lowered his head and did not speak.

Cui Hanlei saluted Li Rupei in a proper manner, and the rest of the people also saluted, seeing such a situation, Li Rupei hurriedly helped up Cui Hanlei in the front, who knew that Cui Hanlei twisted her body and wanted to salute.

Li Chengbo, who is not yet full of age, was held by his wet nurse, and at the back, seeing such a situation, he cried.

Li Rupei was a little anxious, and hurriedly spoke.

"What's wrong with you, it's not that you don't come back after going out, this time you led the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army to go out to fight, in the final analysis, for the sake of the family, for you, a certain is the boss, and he will not charge into battle, there must be no danger, and the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army go out to fight and charge in front, as a certain commander, if you stay in Xiangyang, how can you inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers, you don't have to worry, yes, there is a mistake, make such a major decision, without asking your opinion, this is a certain is not, I'll be sure to pay attention in the future. ”

When Li Rupei finished saying these words, tears appeared in Cui Hanlei's eyes.

"The concubine is worried about the husband, the husband has more than one expedition, many times in danger, the concubine has heard the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army talk about the courage of the husband, the husband is in the fight, he doesn't care about himself at all, if the husband is in danger, what should the concubine and the sisters do......"

When Cui Hanlei said these words, Cui Qiuyue and the others cried, and Li Chengbo in the nurse's arms cried even more, and the face of the damn turned blue, for fear that Li Rupei would blame her.

Li Rupei walked over and hugged Li Chengbo from the nurse's arms.

"Boy, your father is going out to conquer and earn the world for you, what are you crying about, you are a man, and you will learn from your father in the future, stand up to the sky, your mother is a woman, it is normal to be sentimental, if you follow the study, Lao Tzu will teach you a lesson, okay, don't cry."

Strange to say, Li Chengbo seemed to understand Li Rupei's words, lying in Li Rupei's arms, taking his fingers into his mouth, stopping crying, and looking at Li Rupei with big eyes.

Li Rupei wiped the eyes on Li Chengbo's face with his palm, and spoke to Cui Hanlei and the others.

"Don't cry, look, Li Chengbo knows this truth, how can you be sentimental, if you go out to conquer this time, you will definitely be able to achieve a decisive victory, once this expedition is successful, the iron-blooded army will control half of the Tang Dynasty, at that time, a certain will not go out to conquer in person, stay in the palace, the so-called strategizing, decisive victory thousands of miles away, a certain word will be done, if there is a violation, you can be punished, but this time don't put forward opinions."

Cui Hanlei pulled Cui Qiuyue to the front.

"Husband, Qiuyue is already pregnant, and she has half a year to give birth, you are on a expedition, you can't see the child, and the concubine is thinking about it......"

Li Rupei was a little helpless, he said everything he should have said, but he didn't think that Cui Hanlei still couldn't figure it out, in the palace, Cui Hanlei's status was very high, it can be said that the internal affairs of the palace were all Cui Hanlei's final say, he, the prince, basically didn't care about the things inside the palace, if Cui Hanlei couldn't figure it out, and didn't know what several women would worry about after he went on the expedition, so he had to do Cui Hanlei's work.

"Madam, you are the head of the family, the internal affairs of the palace all depend on you, after a certain goes out to conquer, you can't take care of the affairs of the palace, which requires you to bear all the responsibilities, a certain expedition outside, I hope that the palace can be harmonious, so that a certain expedition outside, can also get greater support, if you are not happy, how can you command the battle with peace of mind, okay, you must be happy, your emotions determine everyone's emotions."

Li Rupei's tone was almost pleading, to say that he was also a little superstitious, if he went out to conquer by himself, and his family looked miserable, what would it look like, wouldn't it be a bad omen.

Cui Hanlei is not stupid, and immediately thought of the meaning of this, if it is because of her own emotions, it affects her husband's mood and makes her husband suffer setbacks in battle, it will be more than worth the loss, the matter of the husband's command of the battle has been decided, and opposition has not much effect, it is better to express support.

But Cui Hanlei's heart is still uncomfortable, such a big matter, Li Rupei made a decision directly, this is a big matter related to the palace.

"What the husband means, the concubine understands, the husband said before, if this expedition is successful, the husband will not be in danger in the future, the husband has to talk and count, if it is violated again, no matter what the situation is, the concubine will be blocked."

"The eldest husband is hard to chase after his words, and his words must count."

Li Rupei's clear statement made Cui Hanlei stop crying, she turned around and asked Yu Yurong and Yu Lianhan to stand up, and the nurse also stood up.

Li Rupei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After dark, Li Rupei found Cui Anqian again, told Cui Hanlei what he was unhappy about, and asked his father-in-law and mother-in-law to do more work on Cui Hanlei.

Cui Anqian's attitude surprised Li Rupei, and at this time he remembered that he still hadn't completely gotten rid of some habits after a thousand years, or in life, he had already made these attitudes clear that Cui Hanlei and others had been affected, so they were able to intervene in some things that seemed to be impossible to interfere with.

Li Rupei hurriedly explained, saying that this was his own inconsiderate thinking, and he went out to fight without taking into account Cui Hanlei's feelings, and it was normal for Cui Hanlei to be sad, but he was worried that Cui Hanlei was too worried, so he asked his father-in-law and mother-in-law to comfort Cui Hanlei.

Cui Anqian looked at Li Rupei, didn't speak for a long time, just sighed, Liu Yunzhang and others suggested that Li Rupei should marry a few more concubines, but this suggestion was categorically rejected by Li Rupei, now it seems that Li Rupei is still very sober, according to Li Rupei's tolerant attitude towards women, there are more women around, and there is no trouble in the palace.

However, as Cui Hanlei's father, Cui An is happy for his daughter in his heart, after all, getting her husband's love is the happiest thing for a woman. (To be continued......)
