"Old lady. gave birth, and the young lady gave birth to a boy. Soon the door opened, and several maids ran out happily, preemptively announcing the good news.

"Reward!" Gao was very happy and said without thinking about it. It is a happy thing to add Ding in the family, Li Xin broke out of the door and supported the door alone, he is the only one in the Li family, and now having a bloodline is equivalent to having hope.

"Old lady, uncle is here."

When Gao was happy, a maid outside cautiously walked in and whispered.

"Oh!" After hearing this, Gao's originally happy expression instantly deteriorated a lot, waved his hand, and said, "He is the brother of Wuji, the uncle of my grandson, you can come in." The maid seemed to understand something, and hurriedly retreated.

"Haha, old lady, congratulations!"

After half a ring, I saw the eldest grandson Wuji walking in with fluttering sleeves, with a happy look on his face, and said to the Gao family.

"Rejoice, rejoice." The Gao family was originally very happy, but after seeing Li Shimin behind the eldest grandson Wuji, his face changed a lot, and he sneered: "Second son Li, my Shouyang Hou Mansion is a small family, I didn't expect the second son to come to the backyard, is this how Tang Guogong taught his son?" ”

"Old lady, I and Wujian are also world friends, can't we come and take a look?" Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Could it be that the rules of the Shouyang Marquis Mansion are so big that you can't even meet with your friends?" ”

"The family can naturally meet each other, but this is the Shouyang Marquis Mansion, the residence of the Governor of the Western Regions, not the mansion of your Tang Guogong, Wujian has married another woman, Li Ergongzi, you don't think about the reputation of your Li family, you also have to think about the reputation of Wuji, auxiliary, what do you think?" Gao's face was gloomy, and he glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji with some dissatisfaction.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked embarrassed, and he didn't understand his friend's thoughts, but as Gao said, the eldest grandson Wuji had already married someone else, and even had children. Li Shimin is still so entangled, it is a bit cheap, and the other party is not an ordinary person, he is in charge of the Western Regions, and the power is really above Li Yuan.

"Humph!" Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and finally he couldn't stand Gao's disgusted eyes, arched his hand towards the eldest grandson Wuji, and turned away. In his heart, he pushed Li Xin to the point of being a mortal enemy. In the past, when Li Yuan regretted his marriage, he didn't feel it, but now every time he sees the eldest grandson Wuji, he always feels that he has lost something very important.

"Old lady, the Metropolitan Governor has already left Yumen Pass, and I believe that there will be good news soon." The eldest grandson Wuji watched Li Shimin leave, and his heart was not happy, but his face was still full of smiles, and he said very respectfully.

"It's a pity, he's not in Daxing now, otherwise, the family will be much more lively." Gao waved his hand, sighed, and led the eldest grandson Wuji into the side room to see the newborn baby.

Li Xin, who was far away in the Western Regions, did not know that he had become the father of two children, and it was now October of the tenth year of the Great Cause, and the march in October at this time was a painful thing, and it was a little better during the day, but at night, the temperature difference between day and night was relatively large. Fortunately, the officers and men in the army can still endure hardships, and Li Xin has already made arrangements, and there are not many non-combat attrition.

"Governor, if this continues, we should be able to reach Gaochang before the first snowfall." Yan Sù entered the big tent and said with a somewhat solemn face. Arriving before the heavy snowfall, this means that the army will have to fight with the Tiele and Turkic armies when the snow is heavy, relative to these two armies, Li Xin's army is far away from Lanzhou, and it is very difficult to supply, ten stones of grain and grass are transported to Ganggaochang, I am afraid there is only one stone, which is not good news for Li Xin.

"What's the news from Chu Suiliang?" Li Xin nodded and said to Shen Qianqiu, who was on the side.

"The situation in Gaochang Kingdom is a little more stable, Ko Boya is still in the position of the king for the time being, and his younger brother Ko Zhongwen and Prime Minister An are fighting hard." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Li Xin said with a frown. Army supply has always been a big problem, the Western Regions are different from the Central Plains, the population is large, and the supply is not in a hurry, the Western Regions is different, but it is very difficult to supply.

"Dadu Governor, I think that if we enter Gaochang Kingdom like this, how will Dadu Governor deal with himself." Shen Qianqiu suddenly said: "Is the general supporting Lu Boya as the king of Gaochang?" The subordinates thought it was inappropriate. ”

"If you don't support him, who can you support?" Li Xin shook his head and said. He is just a general of the Great Sui Dynasty, and there are hundreds of civil and military officials above, as well as the Son of Heaven, as long as he does something out of the ordinary, I am afraid that Yang Guang will not let himself go. He also knew that the person who came to the Western Regions to deliver the decree this time was none other than Yu Wenshiji, this Yang Guang's son-in-law, obviously Yang Guang was not very worried about himself.

"Kill Koji Boya." Shen Qianqiu's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Only by killing Koji Boya, Gaochang Kingdom will be in chaos, whether it is Koji Zhongwen or An Baoshi, they will fight each other for the throne, and the Metropolitan Governor has Koji Boya's distress letter in hand, plus the other party colludes with Tiele and the Western Turkic Metropolitan Governor for a reason, occupy Gaochang, and use Gaochang as the basis to operate the Western Regions." ”

Li Xin's face was cloudy when he heard this, and he had to say that Shen Qianqiu's strategy was a little too vicious, who was Lu Boya, who had seen him from afar in Liaodong before, he was an elegant-looking middle-aged man, who thought he was a descendant of the Central Plains, and actually had no hatred with himself. Li Xin waved his hand and said: "You go to sue Chu Suiliang and Su Dingfang, the two of them are going, one article and one martial arts, they can make their own decisions about the affairs of Gaochangguo, I only hope that when I go, I just deal with Tiele and the Western Turks." ”

"Yes." Shen Qianqiu was stunned at first when he heard this, but soon there was a burst of joy, Li Xin didn't say it explicitly, but he still heard the meaning of Li Xin's words. Yan Sù next to him trembled and remained silent.

"Yan sù, am I a little too cruel." After Shen Qianqiu left, Li Xin suddenly sighed.

"The Governor of the Metropolitan is doing this for the sake of tens of thousands of soldiers, not to mention, if Gao Chang can't hold it in his hands, our army will not only lack food and grass, but may even suffer from Gao Chang's betrayal of him." Yan Sù persuaded in a low voice: "So my subordinates think that this move by the Metropolitan Governor is the right choice. ”

"How's Igo doing?" Li Xin asked a little impatiently.

"I believe that General Su Dingfang has made preparations over there, but Yiwu is a frontier land, and there may be a garrison, but I'm afraid there is not much food and grass." Yan Sù said with some concern.

"Then take Gaochang. The truth is that within the range of swords and guns, the hearts of those who are not of my race will be different. Only by completely bringing the entire Western Regions under the rule of the Great Sui will we have no worries in the future. Li Xin patted the bookcase in front of him and said. There has never been a real friendship between countries, and isn't there a conflict between the Celestial Empire and his stick brother in later generations? Only by completely bringing the other party's territory under one's own rule can one form a whole.

Chu Suiliang, who was far away in Gaochang, did not look very good, these days, he had already felt the rejection of himself and others by Koji Boya, and he knew it, because the situation in Gaochang had returned to the past, Koji Zhongwen and An Baoshi because of the problem of succession to the throne, and the court was full of smoke and miasma, and as the king of Gaochang, Ko Boya, actually had a kind of meaning of sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, and his attitude towards Chu Suiliang and others became ambiguous, even the distress letter to Li Xin was also delayed again and again.

"Do you really think that Gao Chang is still in your control?" Chu Suiliang's face was gloomy, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Chu." The door opened, and Huang Puwan walked in, his face was gloomy and uncertain, he found a seat and sat down, poured himself a cup of hot water, and said viciously: "It's really hateful, we saw the princess today and were blocked by the palace guards." ”

"This is normal, two peaches kill three soldiers, Lu Boya thinks that he threw out the position of the prince, diverted the attention of the two, but he doesn't know, now the situation in Gao Changguo has been completely clear, he himself has no military support behind him, just relying on the official position of the Great Sui can not suppress the greed of the other two at all, in fact, if the two sit down and have a good talk, the next unlucky person is Kou Boya. It's ridiculous, Ko Boya doesn't know this. Chu Suiliang said disdainfully.

"So what are we going to do?" Huang Puwan said with some worry.

"I can see clearly now, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and Gao Changguo is a wolf who can't be fed. In the past, I didn't support the Metropolitan Governor's conquest of the Western Regions, but now I support it, don't look at these guys temporarily surrendering to my Great Sui, but once something happens to my Great Sui, these guys will definitely fall into the ground, block the trade roads of the Western Regions, and even attack Yiwu and other frontier places. Only by bringing all these countries into the rule of our Great Sui, listing counties and abolishing kingdoms, can we completely maintain the stability of the frontier. Chu Suiliang's young face showed a rare hideousness, and said: "Whether it is Ko Boya or Ko Zhongwen, they are all the goods all the way, whether it is the Grand Duke, or Tiele or Turkic, they are all chess pieces in their hands. It's just that I don't know that no strength is a pawn. General Huangpu, I don't know if you have the courage to omit murder? Chu Suiliang stared at Huang Puwan and said.

Huang Puwan was stunned when he heard this, and finally laughed and said: "I fought on the battlefield, and I don't know how many people I killed, let's say it!" Who is Mr. Chu going to let me kill? Huang Puwan also looked at Chu Suiliang, he knew that it was definitely not easy for Chu Suiliang to let him kill people.
