Chapter 29: Condescension
。 "Annunciation. That's all you need to do." Fan Lihua's good-looking moth eyebrows raised slightly. The embroidery knife in his hand pointed to the east. said." Yu Culture & is there. Why don't we wave our troops and kill them? Captured Yu Culture and . Rescue Yang Yoo. Let's see who can compete with you for the first prize." Wen Hao frowned and said, "The lord only asked me to wait to capture the two counties of Caohan and Jincheng. If you attack without permission. I'm just afraid ......"
Fan Lihua said disapplausively: "Will be outside. The king's order is not subject to it. Catch Yu Wenhua and know how the emperor died. Just capture Longxi. Captured Yu Culture alive and. Liu Ziqiu couldn't say anything."
Wen Hao was suddenly a little unhappy. said, "You're still thinking about that faint king."
"Watch out. The emperor and I are innocent." Fan Lihua glanced at Wen Hao. but the heart is beautiful. This shows that her status in Wen Hao's heart is very important. But soon. Fan Lihua sank her face again. said." But. The Queen Mother was very kind to us sisters. I heard that she had also suffered. The slave fell and cried quietly several times. The slave is willing to help you. I just want to find out how the queen died. If there is a chance. The slave family still wants to worship her well."
"I don't care, Queen Mother. It's just that you won't be allowed to mention that faint gentleman again." Of course, Wen Hao knew that nothing had happened between Fan Lihua and Yang Guang. Because the gorgeous peach blossom on the bed sheet on the wedding night is very illustrative. I just thought that Fan Lihua had been by Yang Guang's side for so long. He's a little unhappy.
"Good, good. It's all up to you. I'll never mention him again." Fan Lihua said with a smile. There is a promise or not to send troops."
Wen Hao gritted his teeth. said: "As long as you're not for that faint king. We're going to send troops."
Get down to business. Fan Lihua's face rose solemnly. said: "Husband. We've been making rapid progress along the way. There shouldn't be any news from Longxi. Now everywhere is busy with the autumn harvest. We can disguise ourselves as an army delivering food. Sneak into Xiangwu City. Husband. What do you think of this idea?"
On martial arts and the art of war. Fan Lihua is above Wen Hao. But she's smart. It's just a suggestion every time. But he left the decision to Wen Hao. The more so. Wen Hao is more in love with her. Almost everything takes her advice. This time is no exception. Jincheng Pass has already accumulated a large amount of grain and grass. Wen Hao left five hundred people to guard the pass. He also selected 2,000 men from among the soldiers of the two counties of Caohan and Jincheng to be the men who carried grain and grass. Under the escort of three thousand cavalry. Mighty and mighty towards Xiangwu City.
Xiangwu is the county seat of Longxi. It is also the capital of Yu Culture and Yang Yu's temporary selection. But. Because the competition between the two counties of Northland and Fufeng is very fierce. Most of Yu Wenhua's men and horses were transferred to the front line in the east. There are not many soldiers and horses in Longxi County. And most of them are concentrated in Xiangwu City. But along the way. There are still patrolling troops passing by from time to time. Some of these troops are under the command of Yu Wenji. There is also a part of the private army of the Li family in Longxi.
The Li family in Longxi is a great family with the same name as the Boling Cui family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Xingyang Zheng family and the Taiyuan Wang family. The history is known as the Seven Sects and Five Surnames. These great families controlled all aspects of social life. The power is not inferior to the government. And many officials are from these seven families. Yang Guang implemented the imperial examination system. An important purpose is to reduce the influence of these great families on the government. But it really has to be done. Isn't that an easy thing to do? As a compromise. It is also used as a need to stabilize the government. Yang Guang also authorized these seven families to have a small number of private soldiers.
Because the war in the east is getting more and more stalemate. It's autumn harvest season again. The Li family in Longxi is worried about threatening themselves. This requires Yu Culture and more patrol teams. It also prevents thieves from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. It's just that Yu Wenhua's troops are already stretched. The Li family also had to send their own private soldiers into the field.
But. Wen Hao and Fan Lihua are well prepared. The soldiers were wearing military uniforms captured from the two counties of Caohan and Jincheng. The soldiers who were the people's husbands were also full of country accents. Many of these standing army soldiers were aliens. However, there were originally many soldiers from the Turkic, Xianbei and other ethnic groups in the Great Sui army. It's not unusual.
The grain transport team marched all the way east. There was no hindrance. When passing through Weiyuan County. The county commander Li Jian even personally led people to lead sheep and wine. Reward the three armies. Wen Hao and his wife were in a hurry to enter Xiangwu City early. It's just that someone else delivers the gift to the door. But they can't turn a blind eye. I had to order the three armies to set up camp. Welcome Li Jian into the big tent.
"I can't imagine that there are such strong soldiers in the imperial court." Li Jian saw that the military might was extremely strong. I didn't feel a little surprised.
There are such strong soldiers. but not sent to the front. and used to escort grain and grass. Li Jian was full of doubts. It's just that he has quite a city. And he didn't want to ask casually.
Wen Hao didn't know what Li Jian meant. Hit a haha. Perfunctory: "The Great Sui Imperial Court is at its peak. Either way is a hero. No surprise."
Li Jian had many contacts with Yu Wenhua and his subordinates. But I don't know Wen Hao. Hesitantly: "Dare to ask the general where he came to defend it."
Fan Lihua vaguely sensed Li Jian's suspicions. Preemptively said: "My General Wen has just been transferred from Xiping to defend Jincheng. We are all old subordinates under General Wen."
"No wonder. No wonder." Li Jian's words changed. Suddenly asked. I don't know if General Wen is just transporting grain and grass this time or going into battle to kill the enemy."
Wen Hao was about to answer. Seeing Fan Lihua's eyes, he quickly smiled and said, "This. When the time comes, I will have to listen to Lord Yuwen's assignment."
Li Jian was overjoyed. said: "I don't know if the general is willing to lead his troops to stay in Longxi. If the general wants to. Xia Guan can speak in front of Lord Yuwen."
Because Fan Lihua and Xue Yeer are both women. And he has been following Yang Guang. Yang Guang is not worried that they will collude with foreign ministers. When discussing the government with Queen Xiao, he did not avoid the two of them. Hearing and seeing. Fan Lihua also has a little understanding of the situation of the major families. Knowing that the Li family in Longxi is huge. When Li Jian offered to help Cang them stay in Longxi. 樊梨花便暗生jǐngti. He waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Li, for your kindness. I'll talk about everything when I see Lord Yuwen."
Yu Wenhua and the support is Yang Guang's grandson. And Yang Xuangan is only Yang Guang's nephew. The most critical thing is . Yang Xuangan is also charged with killing the king. In every sense of the word. Yang Xuangan should be at a disadvantage. Outcome. In the east, Li Yuan of Luoyang is contained. Yang Xuangan not only steadily occupies Chang'an. And it has repeatedly broken through the defense line of Yu culture and laid in Fufeng and Northland. This made the Li family very disappointed.
At the beginning of Yu culture and retreat to Longxi to support Yang Yun. Old lady Li made a mistake in judgment. thinks that this is a great opportunity for the Li family in Longxi to intervene in the government affairs. So I gave Yu culture and the greatest help. From money to manpower. Even Yang Yu's palace was provided by the Li family. The Li family in Longxi has been tied to Yu Wenhua. Once Yu culture and the army were defeated. The Li family is also very likely to be brutally retaliated against by Yang Xuangan. Although it is a great family that ranks second to none in the seven sects and five surnames. But to pit them against a regime. That's absolutely impossible. For the sake of the future of the Li family. Old Lady Li has begun to seek a way out.
This time. The children of the Li family are trying their best to win over Yu Wenhua and his generals. When the power of the Li family infiltrated the army to a certain extent. In case the battle on the front line is unfavorable. The Li family did not rule out a coup d'état. Switching to Yang Xuangan to atone for the possibility of previous sins.
As a descendant of the Li family. Li Jian naturally also accepted the task of winning over generals from all walks of life. Just a little county order for him. The conditions for being able to attract those strong soldiers are extremely limited. Just now I admit that I can say it in front of Yu Wenhua. Pure boasting. When Wen Hao's department passed through Longxi. Li Jian felt that his opportunity had come. Wen Hao's army is strong and strong. He is not a direct subordinate of Yu Wenhua. If you can pull it in. It is a great help for the Li family.
Served as a county magistrate for several years. Li Jian still has the ability to observe words and observations. He saw it. Although Wen Hao is the commander of this army. But the real master is probably this handsome little general with red lips and white teeth. Hearing that Fan Lihua politely rejected his proposal. Li Jian couldn't help but get anxious. said: "It's not early today. Tomorrow an old gentleman wants to meet with the two generals. Can you please ask the two generals to stay in Weiyuan for one night?"
Wen Hao waved his hand. Impatiently said, "We are still in a hurry to deliver the grain and grass. I can't wait to fly into Xiangwu City. It's dark and nothing. Wen was planning to rush overnight. Lord Lee, please come back. Waiting for Wen to deliver the grain and grass. Come back and see you again."
Yu Culture and Yang Yu are all in Xiangwu City. The defenses of Xiangwu City are naturally much tighter than those of the two counties of Caohan and Jincheng. Definitely not to take a strong offensive strategy. The method discussed by Wen Hao and Fan Lihua was to take advantage of the night to transport the grain and grass outside Xiangwu City. Waiting for the opportunity to deceive the city gates. Despite the fact that the soldiers who carried the grain were disguised. But hundreds of carts are loaded with real grain and grass. Even if the soldiers defending the city are suspicious. It's hard to find a flaw for a while. Therefore. Wen Hao doesn't want to make a difference. Do more stops in Weiyuan County.
"Nope." Fan Lihua rarely vetoed Wen Hao's decision in front of outsiders. said." Just according to Lord Lee. Let's camp here for the night. Ming rì again."
Li Jian was overjoyed. He said in a loud voice: "The two generals are here for a while. Li will definitely visit again tomorrow morning."
After speaking. Li Jian came out of the camp. Hurry on the horse. And don't go back to Weiyuan County. Instead, he hit the horse and went straight to Longxi County, east of Xiangwu City. Longxi County was named after Longxi County. Although the county seat is located in Xiangwu. But the real center is in Longxi County. Because that is the base camp of the Li family in Longxi. The head of the Li family, Mrs. Li, lives in Lijiazhuang in the western suburbs of Longxi County. Li Jian wanted to rush to Lijiazhuang overnight. Please move Mrs. Li to come and persuade Wen Hao and Fan Lihua. For the future of the Li family. He believed in the wisdom and courage of Mrs. Li. Absolutely able to condescend to the noble. Visit the two juniors in person.
