Chapter 218: Full Moon Wine

The fifth day of June.

Li Rupei's son is full moon, this is something that needs to be celebrated, according to the rules, children must shave their fetal hair when they are full moon, this procedure for shaving fetal hair is not as simple as a thousand years later, not when it comes to barbershops to get a haircut.

Li Rupei didn't care about these things, what made him a little annoyed was that the child was not able to choose a name at the moment, and he had to wait until a hundred days before he could officially choose a name, as for the child's name, he had already thought about it.

Because of his son's different identity, there are many people who pay attention to him, and he must let his son have an unusual origin and identity at the very beginning, which is actually the clue of the god-making movement, and Li Rupei knows it.

Although he didn't agree with it very much in his heart, Li Rupei also needed to cooperate with these things, seeing that Cui Anqian and the others were busy, he simply waited in the palace and didn't go anywhere.

When Yan Fu's letter arrived, Li Rupei was watching his son shave his hair.

After taking the letter and glancing at it slightly, Li Rupei quietly took the letter in his hand and patiently waited for the end of the shaving ceremony.

Half an hour later, Li Rupei entered the study.

The front yard has begun to set up a banquet, and those who can participate in this banquet are not ordinary, and Xiangyang and Liangzhou and other places are also proud to be able to participate in such a banquet.

Li Rupei read the letter and fell into deep thought.

Cui An sneaked to the study, saw Li Rupei's expression, and didn't speak for the time being, he originally invited Li Rupei to attend the banquet, after all, there were so many guests, Li Rupei still needed to come forward.

Li Rupei handed the letter to Cui Anqian.

Cui An watched for a quarter of an hour, almost forgetting the task of coming to the study.

"Lord Wang, the situation is likely to change."

"It's not possible, there will definitely be changes, and I didn't expect that Gao Biao is a famous general of Datang. Falling to such a point, if the news in the direction of Yangzhou is completely accurate, I am afraid that there will be a huge shock in a short period of time. ”

"Don't blame yourself, I didn't expect that Tian Lingzi and Gao Biao dared to risk the world's condemnation for their own interests, regardless of the Tang Dynasty."

"There's nothing strange about it, the royal family is weakened, and I don't know how many people are ready to move. The prince and general Xiangning have a kind of, who doesn't want to come out at this time, it seems that the Iron Blood Army must be prepared. ”

Li Rupei sighed and slowly stood up.

"There is still a fatal error in the judgment of a certain person, it is only June now, and there is still about a month before the autumn harvest, if there is a commotion during this time, the Iron Blood Army has no energy to calm down for the time being, and must wait until the end of the autumn harvest. Only then can we send troops to exterminate the Yellow Nest and deal with the upcoming shock, the weather is beautiful this year. A bumper grain harvest is certain, so the lives of the people in Shannan Dongdao can be stabilized for the time being, and there can be no twists and turns in the overall plan. ”

"What the prince said is that the people of Shannan Dongdao are very stable. I am also looking forward to the arrival of the autumn harvest season, it is not an exaggeration to say that so many years have passed. Today's Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road are probably one of the most stable and wealthy places in Datang. ”

"Just two places of stability, that is far from enough, if there is a large-scale shock in the south, Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road must make all preparations, no matter what kind of commotion there is, the most affected are the common people, followed by the merchants, so it is said that the iron-blooded army must be prepared for everything, and the government must purchase and store as much grain as possible when the autumn harvest season comes."

"There is no problem with this, and the government at all levels is ready."

Liang and Cui Hanlei waited for a long time, but they didn't see Li Rupei and Cui Anqian, they came to the study in person to urge.

The Liang family originally lived in the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, but because her daughter was a princess, she spent most of her time in the palace, which was equivalent to being in charge of the palace.

After a brief discussion between Li Rupei and Cui Anqian, they had already left the study and walked towards the front yard.

The front yard was very lively, and after Li Rupei and Cui Anqian appeared, there were voices of celebration all around.

The banquet lasted a little long, and in this process, Liu Yunzhang, Gao Chibang, Ma Haoxuan, Yu Chenghui, Tan Mingxiao and others were all notified to go to the study after the banquet.

Everyone entered the study, still wanted Li Rupei to congratulate, everyone was in a good mood, seeing that the situation in Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road was getting better and better, and the prince had an heir, it can be said that the future was bright.

With a smile on his face, Li Rupei handed the letter to Liu Yunzhang and asked Liu Yunzhang to read it.

As Liu Yunzhang slowly read out, the atmosphere in the study became a little solemn.

After reading it, Liu Yunzhang spoke first.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, this is all a mistake on the part of my subordinates."

"Liu Gong, this matter has nothing to do with you, this is a mistake in judgment, now that I think about it, it should be the best if the south can be temporarily stabilized, Gao Biao wants to divide and disintegrate the Iron Army, but he can't do it at all, and he is still worried too much, thinking that Gao Biao has been stable in Huainan Road, which has an impact on the Iron and Blood Army's extermination of the Yellow Nest, and it is even possible to attack the Iron Blood Army from behind."

Everyone was silent, they knew that Li Rupei must have thought of a countermeasure when he said such words.

Sure enough, Li Rupei quickly spoke again.

"The soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, there is nothing remarkable, there is still a month or so, it is the autumn harvest season, no matter what happens, Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road first need to ensure the autumn harvest, so that the people can be completely stabilized, this year's grain harvest is almost a foregone conclusion, and the Yellow Nest of Huainan Province will definitely be red-eyed."

"Huang Chao suffered a heavy blow in Luoyang, after flowing to Huainan Road, what I thought of was to expand the strength, and now has an army of 100,000, on the surface, Huang Chao's power has grown again, but the problem behind it is very serious, Huang Chao has always been a wandering battle, every place, a large amount of looting wealth, so as to be able to maintain the cost of the army, but this time the situation is different, Huang Chao is stable in Shenzhou, Anzhou, Huangzhou and Chuzhou and other places, although these places are once the land of fish and rice, but such a small territory, Feeding an army of 100,000 is almost impossible, in this case, what Huang Chao will do, I think you all know. ”

"In the intelligence that Yan Fu has detected, it has been shown that there is a food famine in Huangchao's army, and Shenzhou, Anzhou, and Chuzhou are close to Shannan Dongdao, and the urgent Huangchao may take advantage of the troubled waters to fish and go to Shannan Dongdao to grab food, if they can't be prepared, the people will suffer."

"It's just Huang Chao, it should be said that it is better to deal with it, but Gao Biao was transferred to the capital, his heart was not satisfied, and the court did not think of a good way to stabilize the south, Gao Biao led 100,000 troops stationed in Yangzhou, in fact, it stabilized the south, and now Gao Biao went to the capital, complaining loudly, saying that the 100,000 troops stationed in Yangzhou are difficult to maintain, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, which means that the 100,000 troops will start from now on, and the task is to protect themselves, and the rest of the things will not be done."

"Such an opportunity will never be missed by some people in the South with ill intentions."

When Li Rupei said this, everyone's faces were a little pale, they couldn't believe that there would be such a situation, but Li Rupei knew that there had been a lot of riots in the south, either to take the opportunity to occupy territory and gather strength, or to take this opportunity to blackmail the imperial court, but unfortunately the imperial court was powerless to prevent these situations from happening.

"There are 15,000 soldiers of the Iron-blooded Army stationed in Suizhou, and now it seems that the strength is still a little insufficient, a certain opinion, the focus of the Iron-blooded Army's garrison needs to be temporarily adjusted, the soldiers stationed in Xiangyang and Liangzhou can be greatly reduced, and the garrison in the border pass area needs to be greatly increased, and the most important thing is the Suizhou area."

"High school guards, starting tomorrow, adjust 15,000 iron-blooded army officers and soldiers stationed in Suizhou, together with the 15,000 people previously stationed, a total of 30,000 people, Huang Biao's army is personally stationed in Suizhou, these 30,000 troops need to be responsible for the security of Tangzhou, Suizhou, Yingzhou and Fuzhou, followed by the iron-blooded army soldiers stationed in Jingzhou, adjusted to 20,000, Song Hu is personally stationed in Jingzhou, responsible for the security of Xiazhou, Guizhou, Kuizhou and Wanzhou."

"You must be clear that the next focus of the Iron Blood Army is aimed at the south, don't worry too much about the affairs of the north for the time being, and try to stabilize the south within five years, maybe this requirement is too high, and then make adjustments according to the situation that arises in the future......"

Li Rupei said as he made a gesture on the map, and finally stretched out his palm to the entire south.

Everyone instantly understood that Li Rupei's next goal was to annex the entire south, and the position of the iron-blooded army was very favorable, once Huainan Province was taken, strategically it would be able to covet the entire south, and the situation in the south and the north was very different, the point was that the local army was weak, and the imperial court had always focused on the north.

Li Rupei made such a major deployment on the day of his son's full moon, which seems extraordinary to everyone, but in fact, this time in this arrangement, Li Rupei has no hidden ambitions, a picture of struggle has appeared in front of everyone, and everyone has to strive towards this goal.

When the feast was over, everyone dispersed.

Li Rupei hugged his son and paced in the back garden, muttering to himself.

"Son, is it possible to break out of an unusual road, there is no bottom in my heart, your kid will be ready to endure hardships in the future, brocade clothes and jade food will definitely not work, you have to be prepared to endure hardships, but don't blame a certain one day."

Liang, Cui Hanlei and others, who were not far away, felt strange when they saw Li Rupei whispering to their son, what words could his son who was only full moon understand, was Li Rupei too anxious. (To be continued......)
