You Tuo walked in with high interest and saw the iron-faced Erkun leaning on the bearskin soft couch with a straight face, and a gorgeous concubine beside his leg was rubbing his legs, he immediately laughed sarcastically and said: "Big brother, you still have time to ask the concubine to rub her legs here, do you know that my father is making a big fuss in the palace, saying that he wants to peel you off!" If you don't hurry up and kneel down and admit your mistakes, if your father sends someone to arrest you in a while, it will be ugly! ”

Erkun originally wanted to quarrel with Youtuo, and it was enough to be aggrieved to escape back like this, but he was also the eldest brother, and Heyoutuo, as a younger brother, actually mocked himself mercilessly at this time, and was about to kick away the concubine beside him, and when he heard him say that his father was angry, he frowned, scratched his hair anxiously, and hesitated to go over and admit his mistake.

"Youtuo, did you see your father when you came?"

When you heard this, you sat in his room, looked at the glamorous concubine beside him, looked at her with a faint smile in her eyes, and looked at her with a faint smile, like a cat's paw scratching, and said with a smile: "Yes, since you were defeated in the battle, my father got the news, when I came over just now, I finally persuaded my father not to be too angry with you, after all, you have no experience in leading troops to fight, and it is natural that you will be defeated, and my father is finally discouraged, eldest brother, you should take advantage of this time to ask your father to confess your mistakes!" lest you shrink here and not go out, and when my father thinks of you, he will be even more annoyed! ”

Erkun stood up slowly, but his footsteps were slow to move, as the eldest son, he actually had no ability to inherit the throne, which he himself had always known, so this time he would take the initiative to secretly ask his father to ask for troops to take the initiative to fight, who knew that the first battle would be lost! It's really a disadvantage!

It's disgusting how Zhuo Zhuo led the troops, going out to grab things is always full of loads, even if he didn't grab things, he came back with all the mustaches and tails, and when he left all the soldiers in the place and became prisoners, thinking about how his father would be angry for a while, he couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness!

"Youtuo, either you go with me and persuade my father on the side, or my father will have to kill me in a while! Good brother, stay with the eldest brother! ”

Erkun is also forced to do so, this Youtuo is the most favored son of Zhuo Zhuo unexpectedly by his father, and in this situation at this moment, it is also necessary to bow his head and say good things! As for him looking down on himself, it doesn't matter at all at a time like this!

Anyway, I guess he has never looked up to himself!

Hearing this, Youtuo raised his eyebrows and turned his face, at this time, why did he go to his father to be scolded, and Erkun is not a brother, he came here just to see his jokes, who wants to bear his father's anger with him, so after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Big brother, you also know your father's temper, at this time you go to admit your mistakes, if I go with you, maybe my father will see me protecting you, and I will be even more angry!" ”

Erkun naturally understood that he was unwilling to offend his father for himself, so he looked at him with a frown and said, "If you don't want to go, just say, why bother to find these excuses to prevaricate me?" That's it, you don't go to me alone, anyway, today's punishment is indispensable! ”

As he spoke, Erkun went out angrily and nervously.

Youtuo sat in his room and smiled and said, "Big brother go slowly, admit your mistakes, my father will not punish you too much!" ”

After that, he looked at the concubine who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Erkun who was far away, slowly stood up and walked over, showing a lewd smile on his face, and said, "Liya, your clothes today are so beautiful!" Come, let this prince see, what is it set on it? ”

Liya got up slowly, looked at Youtuo with crooked eyebrows, and said shyly: "Fifth prince, this is not good, the slave is the eldest prince's person, saying that if the other eldest prince finds out, the slave will die!" ”

Hearing this, Youtuo smiled sneeringly and said: "I'm afraid that the soft goods won't come back for a while, you haven't tasted the power of this prince, I guarantee that after you taste it, you don't want to follow the soft goods!" Come on, stop the ink! ”

When Liya heard this, she smiled and fell into Youtuo's arms......

Li Ye and Zhong Laosan went back, and all the captives with hundreds of men and horses were left in the town, patting the garrison and guarding, and waiting for the selection of people to go to the peace talks, and see how the results of the negotiations are deciding how to deal with these Hu people, but it is not okay to raise them in vain and waste food, just right, use these people to repair the defense of the city wall or something, and build some more houses for the soldiers to live in, so as not to come over in the middle of winter in two days, but the houses to live in cannot be arranged.

Presumably, the soldiers were happy to take the whip and command the Hu.

General Zhong Lao was waiting for them to come back in the house, and he had already received the news that he had captured the prisoners, thinking that this was really a good thing to do when there were more people, and he used to divide everyone on his side, and there were not many people in his hands, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to fight the Hu people, this prince came with people, and his morale was strong!

Putting down the teacup and hearing the cheers outside, he walked out with a smile and was relieved to see the jubilation up and down the barracks.

Li Ye turned over and dismounted, took Zhong Laosan and Zhong Lao to say hello and entered the house together, drank a cup of hot tea, and then said: "There are a lot of prisoners captured this time, I think this is an opportunity that can be used well, the Hu people must be reluctant to let these two thousand people go away, it just so happens that we are also short of horses, if we can send someone to discuss the exchange of prisoners, I think this matter also has some chances." ”

Zhong Lao thought for a while when he heard this, and said: "Although the Hu people are strong in battle, the lack of numbers is also a disadvantage, so the team of 2,000 people cannot be easily abandoned for them, but if they change horses, they will not be so easy to change." But it's better than nothing if you can change it, so let's leave it to me for this kind of candidate, I'll choose the right person, and discuss with them about the exchange of prisoners, the prince is tired from the battle, go back and rest for a while, and then send someone to inform you. ”

Li Ye nodded when he heard this, Zhong Lao has been here for decades and has a wide range of contacts, so it is most appropriate to leave this matter to him, and he doesn't care about it.

Wearing a heavy armor, he returned to his room, and before he could take it off, Lan Fang came over and pounced as soon as he entered.

He smiled and stretched out his arms around her, and said, "Don't shed tears, didn't I come back safely?" ”

Lan Fang nodded, seeing that he came back safely, one of her hearts fell, sniffed and looked up from his arms and said, "Are you hungry?" I'm going to cook for you? ”

Li Ye nodded when he heard this, really, he was so excited that he really forgot about eating, so he said: "I want to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup, don't bother, just make it simple." ”

Lan Fang wiped his eyes and went out to do it for him, and when he turned his head to go out, he saw that his armor had not been taken off, so he helped him take it off before going out.

When he came back with the meal, he leaned against the head of the bed and squinted as if he was about to fall asleep, and when she hesitated for a moment to wake him up, he woke up by himself and said with a smile: "I just squinted a little, and I almost fell asleep...... Oops, I smell the fragrance, I'm really hungry. ”

"The soldiers who went out to fight also ate, and they all gobbled it up, as if they hadn't eaten for a few days." Lan Fang said, watching him also eat in a big gulp, he couldn't help but smile and stand behind him and rub his shoulders, and said: "The border soldiers are really hard, and there is no oil and water in this food every day, but one is more fragrant than the other, think about when I was hungry when I was a child, and eating was like this......"

How long ago I remembered, and said that I went back to my hometown to pay tribute to my parents, but I never had time to go back...... The memory of my parents is really vague, I remember that when they died, I was only six or seven years old, and in the blink of an eye, I was twenty.

Li Ye ate and ate, raised his eyes to look at her with firm eyes and said: "In the future, I will definitely want the people to eat well and dress warmly!" ”

Lan Fang lowered her head and leaned against the side of his face, feeling his warm temperature, she smiled and said, "I believe you!" ”

He held her hand, and for a moment he was full of warmth.

After a while, Lan Fang remembered that in the past two days, the cotton clothes of many soldiers seemed to be a little thin, and she couldn't help frowning and said: "In the past few days, I have seen that the cotton clothes of the soldiers are relatively thin, and they don't look very cold. I thought that if I could spare some military funds to make some heavy cotton clothes for the soldiers, I would be able to withstand the cold when the deep winter came. There are also cotton shoes or something, you have to hurry up and prepare, this is only a month away from the deep winter, just delay, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up when the time comes! ”

Lan Fang also knew that the military expenditure was a lot, and it had always been a bit stretched, even if he was the crown prince, the silver in the court was not ten out of ten. Just look at General Zhong himself, a gray jacket with cuffs are torn, and he can wear a coat just like that, which is really sad and uncomfortable.

Not to mention the soldiers below, seeing Ling'er helping them mend their clothes, all the clothes they brought over were torn into whatever they looked like, and even the materials for mending clothes were gone in the past two days, that is, Lan Fang secretly used her jewelry to buy some fabrics to barely be enough, but this is not a long-term solution.

Li Ye thought about it when he heard this, put down his chopsticks and said: "You are right, is it necessary to have thick cotton clothes for the winter, otherwise it is easy for the army to be disheartened, and the soldiers are not well fed and clothed, who is willing to go to war with the Hu people, then they will die if they are not careful." ”

After thinking about it, he pulled Lan Fang closer to his arms and said: "I will take out a part of the silver, and you can choose some people to buy it with you, cloth, cotton or something, if the silver is not enough, just tell me, the two thousand captives, if the Hu people are not willing to exchange them for horses, it is barely possible to exchange them for silver......
