Chapter 5: The Nameless (Part I)
Chapter 5 Nameless (first) knew that he couldn't keep the red whisk, and Li Wan'er no longer deliberately kept it. ♀ As a woman who was once abandoned by her husband as a burden without hesitation, she knew that there were some wounds in this world that could not be cured at all.
Perhaps the flowing time will slowly dilute the blood stains on the wound, but at any time, even if the slightest wind blows up, the wound that has been hidden will still hurt heartbreakingly.
The only way to forget the pain for a while is to find something else important and fill up all your leisure time.
Just like her now, she is busy in the army from morning to night every day, there are countless orders to be given, and countless chores to be straightened out, even if Chai Shao deliberately comes to talk, the two who are still nominally husband and wife have to spend a lot of effort to change the topic from military affairs to private affairs.
Often at this time, new military intelligence is sent in. Both sides had to regain immersion in military affairs.
"I have already asked Tang Gong for help, and after breaking through the Beijing Division, I will lead a group of soldiers and horses to the north!" Looking at his wife's head hanging down again, Chai Shao whispered.
The direction of the north, naturally, was the direction of the Turkic invasion, and he knew that his wife must be glad that he had done so, but he could not see half of the waves in the eyes of the other party who were focused on the official documents.
"I analyzed it carefully, and it was impossible for the Turks to choose only one way to go south. They have many tribes, and they are afraid that each other will take advantage of each other. Therefore, the biggest possibility is that multiple roads go hand in hand, and Zhuojun is just one of them. Taiyuan..."Chai Shao deliberately stopped talking, wanting to see if Wan'er was listening to her analysis.
♀ The person in front of him just frowned, and then set his eyes on official business.
"The Liang divisions on the west side are not strong. Although Honghua County is very important to the Li family, it is far from Chang'an! Sighing softly, Chai Shao continued.
"So, I'm not going to go to the West Road. I'm going to go to the Yanmen area, and if the Turks come over from Liu Wuzhou's territory, I'll just be with him with cavalry! ”
"Then be careful! Motoyoshi is still a child, don't expect him to help you at all. If the battle doesn't go well, you can retreat into the Wutai Mountains at any time. The terrain there was undulating, which was not suitable for the deployment of cavalry. If the Turks want to hunt you down, they may not be able to find their way into the mountains! Li Wan'er finally replied.
But the discourse is limited to military opinions. Even so, Chai Shao was overjoyed. He didn't expect to be able to fully gain his wife's forgiveness, but the two of them were officers under the Tang Gong's account, and it was indeed not a way to be so stiff all the time.
Besides, the current wife is not the Wan'er who could only drag him down and lose his life. Now there are tens of thousands of tigers and wolves standing behind his wife, and there is a father who may become the emperor in a short time.
For a man who aspires to take his career to the next level, what dowry could be heavier than this army of tens of thousands and shortcuts to heaven?
Thinking that the relationship between the two might take a turn for the better, Chai Shao spoke in a more gentle tone. Although deep down, it was embarrassing for him to do so, but the man was alive and had to face the reality.
"Wan'er......." he whispered his wife's name, his face full of love and pleading. ♀
"Anything else?" Li Wan'er raised her head from the official document, her bright eyes were like a cold moon on a winter night.
"No, nothing else. I came this time to ask if the Lady Army entered the city first. Are you really going to be the commander of this northbound army? Chai Shao was looked a little nervous and stammered.
"Then my women's army must be the first to enter the city! It's been nine days......" Li Wan'er also sighed softly.
She knew that Chai Shao was trying to mend the rift between the two, but the more she mended, the clearer the rift became.
Perhaps, this rift existed before the two got married, but she was casual when she was young, and she always thought that the shoulders of most men in the world were as heavy as mountains.
And only after experiencing it will you know that you will not give up on your man at a critical moment, and it is impossible to find a second one after missing it.
By the standards of secular eyes, Chai Shao did nothing wrong at that time, and he could even be called rational. Rather than being caught and killed together, the husband and wife might as well flee for their lives.
At least, that way, those who survive may have a chance to avenge the dead. But Wan'er didn't want to live under the same roof with a sane man anymore.
At the very least, she didn't want to be intellectually abandoned again.
"Chang'an City won't be able to support it for long, and the defenders are already at the end of their crossbow!" Chai Shao saw that Wan'er was irritated between her eyebrows, and smiled to explain.
"I won't have time to think about other things until the city is broken!" Li Wan'er shook her head lightly, her words revealing resoluteness.
"After the city is broken, whether it is the first girl army to enter the city or not, I will lead the troops north!" Deep down, she also made a decision.
♀ Whether it was for the sake of saving each other back then, or for the happiness of her sister Ying'er, she would not watch Li Xu face hundreds of thousands of wolves riding outside the Saiwai alone.
With the accumulation of corpses, Chang'an City, which had been unable to be attacked for a long time, finally opened a gap with human blood. In November, Bingchen, Lei Yongji, the brigade commander under Li Jiancheng, led more than 100 brothers to gain a firm foothold on the north wall of Chang'an City.
Subsequently, Dou Cong, the third commander of the left army, personally led the guards to kill, dispersed the exhausted defenders, and successfully captured the north gate of Chang'an.
Immediately after, the women's army entered the city through the west gate. He captured Jing Zhao Yin Guyi alive, and learned from him that he tried to atone for his sins.
In order to avoid conflicts between his subordinates and the people, Li Wan'er sent her uncle Li Shentong to patrol the streets with his father Li Yuan's handwritten warrant.
Several black sheep who plundered people's wealth were beheaded in public before they could cover the stolen wealth. Some of the atrocities that had not yet spread were also promptly planted on the defeated and scattered defenders.
The people in the city, who were originally determined to die, saw that after Li Jiajun entered the city, not only did they kill innocents indiscriminately, but also maintained a certain degree of restraint, they immediately dispelled the idea of coexisting and dying with the Great Sui.
After more than ten days of bloody baptism, Chang'an City regained its tranquility. In Renxu, Li Yuan supported the thirteen-year-old acting king Yang Yu as the emperor and changed the Yuan Yining.
Yang Guang is respected as the emperor. Immediately afterwards, at the behest of his cronies, Yang Yu crowned Li Yuan as the governor of the capital, in charge of the internal and external military.
Shang Shuling, the prime minister, is in charge of internal and external affairs. The king of Tang, the false festival Yue, opened the mansion, authorized the change of all decrees.
And he decreed,
"There are no big or small things, civil and military officials, no noble and lowly positions, charter rewards and punishments, and salty return to the prime minister's house", only
"Suburban worship of the world", you need to hear it to the royal family. Li Yuan received the order to thank him, and immediately rewarded the ministers. Feng Li Jiancheng was the son of Tang Shizi, Li Shimin was the Duke of Qin, Yuanji was the Duke of Qi, and Li Wan'er was the lord of Pingyang.
Pei Lin is the prince of Wei County, and he appreciates thousands of hectares of fertile land in Guanzhong. The warrior Tong Taiyuan County Gong, enjoy the east of the river of fertile fields.
Liu Hongji
"The first military merit from entrepreneurship" was named Doctor Zuo Guanglu, the Duke of Xihe County, and the General of Huaihua of Zhengsanpin.
Chai Shaoyi
"Shangyi dares to fight" was named the Duke of Linfen County and the general manager of the Ma Army. The rest, such as Yin Kaishan, Jiang Baoyi, Qian Jiulong, Chen Yanshou, Ma Sanbao and others, were all awarded high positions, and the mansions, golden silks, and good fields were not counted.
"This really fulfills what Red Whisk said before he left!" Seeing that her father had moved the treasury of the Jingshi Mansion in an instant, Li Wan'er thought with a wry smile.
But she couldn't accuse her father of doing something wrong. If the father does not reward these generously
"From the Dragon" meritorious person, maybe one day he just came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he will be shot by a sudden stray arrow next to the war horse.
And the person who can bring more benefits to everyone will become the new prime minister, Tang Gong, who is in charge of internal and external military and political affairs.
To some extent, rebellion is about grabbing land, money, and women. What the robbers did, when the rebels did it in the name of the Qing monarch, sounded more high-sounding, but the difference in essence was not much.
But when it comes to dealing with the aftermath, her father Li Yuan is more skilled than any of the Green Forest heroes.
The displaced people inside and outside Chang'an City were properly resettled, and the ordinary people affected by the war during the destruction of the city were also compensated.
The steady flow of old rice from Yongfeng Cang alleviated people's panic about the war to a certain extent, and by confiscating the family property of the officials left behind in Beijing, Li Jiajun also raised enough military funds without increasing the burden on the people.
In addition, after Li Yuan entered the city, he referred to the story of Han Gaozu's entry into Xianyang, abolished the harsh government of the Great Sui, and the measures of the twelve articles of the law with the people also won him a great reputation (color and fame).
Nowadays, both officials and ordinary people in Beijing praise Tang Gong as a benevolent and wise prime minister.
With him in charge, the benefits to the court and everyone were almost immediate. Beneath these ephemeral joys and prosperity lies great sacrifices.
Of course, everyone thinks that those who were sacrificed deserve it. Including Wan'er, although she had some sympathy for Gu Yi's final fate, no matter how greedy she was when she was an official and the crimes she committed when she resisted the army, Tang Gong Li Yuan only punished him with a beheading and exile of his clansmen, which had fully taken into account his last-minute meritorious performance.
The fate of the other defenders was even more miserable. General Zuo Yiwei's Yin Shishi was the first to kill the Li family, and the resistance to the righteous division was second, and he was sentenced to the type of car split.
Just as the Yin Shishi led people to rush into the Li family a few months ago, the Yin family had more than 200 people, both men and women, masters and servants, all those over the age of fifteen were killed, and those under the age of fifteen were sold into official slavery.
Another defender general, Yang Baobao, was beheaded, his property confiscated, and his family was confiscated as Pei Lian's private slaves.
The rest of the more than a dozen generals who Li Wan'er was not familiar with were also executed, their families were enslaved, and their property was confiscated.
There are also several wealthy civil officials who stayed in Chang'an City, and they were also punished for greed, soliciting bribes, and mistreating the people, and they were all ruined.
Even Wei Wensheng, who had been dead for nearly a month, Li Yuan did not let go. He ordered Wei Wensheng's body to be pulled out of the grave and his bones scattered.
But the crime was not against the rebels, but
"Greet the Taishang and frame the meritorious soldiers!". When Wei Wensheng's body was burned, several officers from the former grain protection team who had returned alive from Liaodong arrived at the scene.
Wang Yuantong, who had become the general of Xuanwei of the Great Sui, personally lit the first dry firewood. Through the sudden rising smoke, Li Wan'er saw that Wang Yuantong's eyes were red, and there were rare tears.
