Mothers are more expensive than children.

After Empress Xiao said these four words, Emperor Yang E frowned and said: "I don't know whether the child in this belly is male or female, the queen mother said this too early." ”

Empress Xiao said: "It's not early, I heard that King Zhao already had a concubine before you, or an orchid, right?" ”

Emperor Yang E said: "Yes, but I have always been in harmony with my sister and are very kind. I treat him like a sister."

Empress Xiao said: "Emperor E, this time is different from the past, there is little intrigue between the concubines and concubines in the harem, and the sisters are commensurate on the surface, but there are few knives in secret?" What's more, I heard that the woman in that room is Xianbei, and the Xianbei custom is different from my Jiangnan Shi clan, but the woman holds the door, which is the legacy of Xianbei. When Queen Dugu was there, how could she be comparable to ordinary boudoir women, not to mention that he also gave birth to a son for King Zhao, the so-called mother is expensive by her son, which is nothing more than that. ”

Speaking of Queen Dugu, Emperor Yang E to this grandmother, although he has not seen her, but he has heard many rumors, in and his grandfather Yang Jian, although they support each other, share weal and woe, for a generation of virtuous queens, but also left a good name of jealousy, when Queen Dugu was there, Emperor Wen of Sui had six palaces in vain.

Once Yang Jian was fortunate to have a palace maid, this palace maid was the granddaughter of the criminal minister Wei Chi Hui into the palace, Queen Dugu was angry and killed her, Yang Jian knew that after leaving the palace alone, after catching up with the attendants, he sighed that he was the son of heaven and could not be free.

Empress Xiao said: "Xianbei vulgar, cheap concubines are not jealous, the daughter of this room is before you, and you are now the queen, how can she be willing in her heart." ”

Emperor Yang E was silent for a while, and said resolutely: "Queen Mother, I can let some of them, but some I won't let them." But Sister Murod is not that kind of person. What's more, Xiao Jiu's temperament I know, he doesn't like anyone in front of him the most. Privately with the wrist. ”

Empress Xiao knew that her daughter had a stubborn temper, and if she recognized it, it would not be easier anyway.

When Empress Xiao heard this, she said: "Yes, men don't like women who are too scheming. Your queen will not use means. It is also a loss of identity, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. ”

Speaking of this, Empress Xiao paused and said, "Okay, I won't persuade you anymore, but now that my mother has arrived in Beijing, I need to take care of you." And the baby in your belly is intended. ”

Emperor Yang E looked at Empress Xiao and said, "Queen Mother, Xiao Jiu used to tell me that Han died because of his relatives and eunuchs. Therefore, I have been persuading my brother not to form a party even though he is in the official career. ”

Empress Xiao saw through her daughter at a glance. At the moment, he said: "What is a party, that room has the support of the woman, isn't this a party?" What's more, the mourning family is not a party, my Yang family has been in the world for decades, how much kindness has been scattered, if you can ask those old courtiers to serve one or two, it is more useful than the 100,000 army under the command of King Zhao. If someone helps him win the world, how can he be unwilling, don't forget that my maiden family is the Lanling Xiao family, even if Liang Wang Xiao Mian sees the mourning family, he must respectfully call his aunt. ”

Yang Ehuang knew that her mother was bent on her own plans, although she didn't think that Mu Deyun could pose much of a threat to herself, but she could use the power of Yang Xiao's family to help Li Chongjiu seize the world, which was also what Yang Ehuang was willing to see.

The previous sentence that a mother is more expensive than a son, but a wife is more expensive than a husband.

Emperor Yang E said: "Queen Mother." Let's wait until the baby is born. Xiao Jiu promised, if it is a man, he will be the son of the world, if it is a woman, then it will not be mentioned in a qiē, isn't it? ”

Empress Xiao listened and said, "Okay." It's up to you. ”

Li Chongjiu, who was in the camp of the army under Handan City, did not know that his harem was already surging.

Handan City is the southern gate of Yongnian City, and it is only ten miles away from Yongnian City.

At the beginning, the governor of Xiangzhou, Chi Yuan, raised troops from Ye to attack Yang Jian. At that time, Wei Chi Zhen rose from Yecheng, and the states were attached, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and finally Wei Xiaokuan and Gao Gong fought a bloody battle.

After that, Yang Jian felt that Yecheng was too far away from Guanzhong to control it, and it was weak Hebei, so he ordered the ancient Yecheng to be demolished, and the name of a generation became ruins. Yang Jian also ordered all the people of Yecheng to move to Anyang City along with the people of Xiangzhou, Wei County, and Ye County, and those craftsmen who had participated in the construction of Guye City were arrested to build Chang'an City.

So far, Handan City and Yecheng have become small counties and small townships, and the world was in turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the two cities showed a little revival of the image.

20,000 Zhao troops arrived close to Handan City, the camp was continuous, and they camped at night, and the battle was fierce. The Handan guard is Dou Jiande's brother-in-law Cao Dan, who has clearly rejected Li Chongjiu's intention to surrender.

Li Chongjiu and the generals were looking at the map of Handan City under the lamp, thinking about the strategy of breaking the city.

At this moment, an attendant entered and said, "King Zhao, the urgent report of Youjing Wen Zaifu." ”

Hearing that there was an urgent report in Youjing, all the generals stopped talking, and the urgent report came late at night, and it must have happened to be a big event.

Li Chongjiu personally opened the letter, read the letter at a glance and read it, and said to the generals on the left and right: "Luo Khan of the Turkic Department, ordered Mo He to set up 50,000 iron cavalry, out of the north of the five plains, and the troops came to Yanmen. Zhang Changxun, the Taishou of Wuyuan County, also led 10,000 troops to the north to attach the Han army, and went to the valley with him. ”

"Now the general Gao Chu, Su Su of Taiyuan Prefecture, and Zhao Wansan, the county guard of Shanggu County, jointly sent an urgent report for help, and the border dock fort was broken in several places, and now the Turkic iron cavalry is heading straight to Yanmen. Su Suyan Taiyuan was shaken, and the people were shocked three times a day. ”

All the generals were furious when they heard this, and Xue Wanche said: "The Turks are too arrogant, they actually beat the main force of my Zhao army, could it be that on the banks of the Wuhou Qinshui River, didn't the Turks see my strength?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "At present, Zhao's troops attacking Xia and the country are under the city, and the Turks do not send troops to contain them, which is abnormal. ”

Xue Wan said: "But the Turks are too generous, Mo He is the younger brother of Luo, and he has always been the north of the five plains, and he is the strongest of the Turkic desert soldiers and horses, and now he mobilizes 50,000 horses, as well as Zhang Changxun, who is familiar with my Central Plains, to attack Yanmen together, obviously not wanting me to capture Yuzhou." ”

There was a lot of talk among the generals.

Xue Wanshu said in the foreword: "Although Yanmen has natural dangers to defend itself, if Yanmen is broken, the Turkic army can enter Taiyuan City. If something happens to Taiyuan, then even if you capture Zhaozhou, I am afraid that it will be half of the gains and losses. ”

While the generals were discussing, Gao Xudao, the minister who was supposed to be in Youjing, went to the Handan military camp.

Xue Wanche was surprised, seeing Gao Xudao's dusty face, he asked: "You shouldn't be in Youjing, why did you come here in person, we already know about the Turkic soldiers coming to Yanmen." ”

Gao Xudao looked anxious, took a breath and said: "Something is wrong, Wen Zaifu is asking me to personally say to the king, the Turkic envoy has arrived in Youjing, holding a letter from Luo Khan, asking our army to retreat to the north of Hejian County, return to Xia to invade the land, and restore the old good." Otherwise, he personally led 300,000 Turkic iron horsemen and went south to break through Youjing! ”

Hearing this, the generals gasped, and the Turks finally made a move, but when the battle of Zhao Xia was about to end. The Turkic Khan said that he wanted the Zhao army to withdraw immediately, otherwise it would be a situation where 300,000 Turkic iron cavalry went south.

The Turks are powerful, the iron cavalry is vertical and horizontal, and it is not for the time being that the Zhao State can resist, not to mention that even if the Turks send troops to attack, if the Turks are defeated, they can retreat to Mobei at any time, so that the Central Plains Dynasty cannot go deeper. How can such an enemy be easily defeated.

Hearing this, the generals present couldn't help but waver, and many people asked Li Chongjiu to avoid his front for the time being.

Some people say that after attacking the summer for more than two months, the old teacher is tired, and he can take the opportunity of this great victory to return to Beijing, which not only saves face, but also solves the siege of Yanmen.

Seeing the meaning of the generals, Xue Wanche said angrily: "Liu Heimin is poor, hanging his face and bound, now the Turks are coming from the north, but he is lying and threatening, if he gives up halfway, Liu Heimin will recover his place, and it will be difficult to take it again." ”

Just when the Yanmen and Shanggu of Zhao were invaded by the Turks, the Turkic army also invaded Hexi.

This matter reached Chang'an, and Li Yuan, who was in Changchun Palace, immediately returned to Kyoto.

It turned out that just a few days ago, Chu Luo Khan also sent his brother Bu Lishe to lead 30,000 iron cavalry to attack Xihe, and Yang Rengong, the defender of the Tang army, thought that the other party was only a small group of men and horses, so he rashly attacked and fought, and the result was a big defeat, and thousands of border people were taken captive.

And Li Shimin's main force Tang Army, at this time, had just arrived in Xin'an, and the Turkic iron cavalry was already in the West River, although it was not Pujin, but it also alarmed Chang'an. The people of Chang'an have been for a long time, and they have not heard the news that Hu Qi broke through the border and invaded Chang'an.

Even if Li Tang was strong in front of him, in the face of the Turks, the people were not very confident. At present, in Chang'an City, the price of rice is already high, and then climb the peak, all the people have entered the market to grab rice and hoard, and there are also large households from Chang'an to settle in Shuzhong, which is more stable.

The Turkic army shocked Chang'an overnight.

The same Turkic envoy also swaggered into the Wuji Palace, presenting Li Yuan and the hundred officials with a handwritten letter from Luo Khan.

According to the letter, Zheng Guo is a country of Fengzhengshuo, and it is also a Turkic diplomatic relationship, and Li Tang's crusade against the army is an unprovoked and unrighteous move. The Turks could not bear to see such an unjustified act, and were born in a country of friendly neighbors.

The letter said that if Li Tang did not retreat from the front line, Luo Khan of the Turkic Department would personally lead the Turkic iron cavalry and hunt on the banks of the Weishui River with the Tang lord.

When Li Yuan saw the letter, he was furious, but he did not do anything to the Turkic envoy.

After Li Yuan retreated from the court, he returned to the palace, threw the Turkic letter to the ground and scolded: "Turkic dog, is there no one to bully me in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The important minister Pei Lin entered the palace, and when he saw that Li Yuan was furious, he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry, if you are angry, wouldn't it make the Turks happy." ”

Li Yuan pointed to Luo's handwritten letter on the ground, and shouted: "Back then, I ceded the land and gave money to marry the Turks, but I didn't expect that only a year later, the Turks would come to this set again. It is said that the Turks are wolves, and they can't be fed no matter how they are fed, but they really don't. Pei Qing immediately drafted an edict and called the Shimin class teacher, and I wanted to fight with the whole country. ”

Pei Lin knew that Li Yuan was talking angrily, and it would not really be like this, otherwise he would not be able to endure the Turkic envoy in the palace.

However, Pei Lin still said: "Your Majesty is angry, the army has arrived in Xin'an, how can it be transferred back, now there is only another way." ”
