After receiving Yang Guang's edict to attack the Turks in the north, Li Yuan had ten thousand reluctances in his heart, he was no longer willing to endure the hardships of the conquest of eating and sleeping in the open, so it was so different from before, it should be related to the changes in all aspects in the past few years.

------

Li Yuan was over 50 years old this year, and in that era, he was already a long-lived person who could live past 50.

When people reach this age, their physical and psychological pursuits are obviously different from those in their young and middle-aged years, and their physical energy is becoming more and more lacking, and they like to be stable psychologically, and they hate drastic changes.

------

In the past few years, Li Yuan has been serving in the palace, accompanying Yang Guang. As the saying goes, "a companion is like a tiger", Li Yuan had to be careful and loyal to his duties all day long, and did not dare to make a mistake.

After leaving the palace last year, Li Yuan had just obtained military power and his position was not stable, Li Yuan was busy forming an army, suppressing bandits everywhere, fighting without heels, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Now, holding the military and political power of the five counties, his position has been stabilized, and his military strength has increased greatly, he has a rare opportunity to breathe at this time.

------

Li Yuan was originally a person who was afraid of the inside, and when Mrs. Dou was alive, he was controlled by Mrs. Dou in everything.

As a first-class prince, it is commonplace for wives and concubines to have groups, but when Mrs. Dou was there, Li Yuan only had one concubine, Wan. And that Wan clan is now also an old Zhuhuang, and basically no longer serves Li Yuan.

The death of Mrs. Dou left Li Yuan without restraint, and he had the opportunity to indulge himself from now on.

------

Just like when a person is sleepy, someone handed over a pillow, and a series of opportunities made Li Yuan feel that he could finally relax himself.

Pei Lin was the one who handed the pillow when Li Yuan was sleepy.

He started as a pro-official of the state official, and this kind of person is the best at figuring out the preferences of his superiors, and flattering him is his forte.

Pei Lin was only willing to grovel to please Li Yuan, because he understood that only by making Li Yuan happy would Li Yuan provide more convenience on his way to promotion and wealth.

------

After obtaining Li Shimin's consent and the money given, Pei Lin concealed from Li Shimin and secretly selected a palace person to serve Li Yuan in Jinyang Palace, whose name was Mo Lifang.

Mingli was under Pei Lian's control, and accepted a concubine for Li Yuan, but secretly he privately asked the palace people to serve Li Yuan.

It was inconvenient to have fun in the official office, so Pei Lin set up a separate courtyard for Li Yuan in Jinyang City.

------

Li Yuan has been controlled by Mrs. Dou for most of his life, and now that the control has been removed, Li Yuan is like a fish in water, with beautiful women by his side, and Pei Lin often invites him to feast, and he soon falls into Pei Lian's gentle township.

Li Yuan knows the taste of marrow, and is willing to indulge in drunken dreams and death. Worrying all day long and preparing to win the world, how can it be as comfortable as instant pleasure? Li Yuan's ambition in his chest was gradually eroded by the color of wine, and his ambition to win the world was temporarily put behind him.

------

After receiving Yang Guang's edict, Li Yuan was very unhappy in his heart, and he was not in the mood to go to another courtyard to enjoy himself, so he returned to the backyard of the official office and called Li Shimin to discuss.

The father and son sat opposite each other on the kang, and Li Yuan was full of complaints.

"Since ancient times, the Xiongnu have been troubled, from the Zhou, Qin, Han and Wei dynasties, the successive dynasties cannot be expelled."

"For example, there are more villains than hedgehogs today, and a group of thieves is surging, Yang Guang is afraid of the Turks, and he runs to Jiangdu to have fun, but he asks me to lead my troops to the north to attack the Turks, if the thieves in Shanxi rise again, how should I deal with myself?"

------

Li Shimin saw that his father was indignant, but Yang Guang's edict had been issued, and he had to act according to the edict, so he comforted Li Yuan.

"Now Shanxi is the foundation of my Li family, if the north is not quiet, once there is an incident, there will be a strong enemy in the south, and there will be Turks in the north, and it will be the enemy on the belly and back."

"It's better to deal a heavy blow to the Turks now, so that they will be fearful, and when we wait for an incident in the future, the Turks will not dare to make trouble."

Li Yuan was embarrassed, "What Erlang said is all true, but if I lead the Taiyuan soldiers and horses to the north, the five counties of Shanxi will be empty, and if the thieves come at this time, it will cause my foundation to be unstable."

------

Li Shimin smiled and said to Li Yuan,

"Grandpa is too worried, why do you need to mobilize a large army to attack the Turks in the north?"

"The Turks are good at riding and shooting, and they have no fixed residence, and when they reach the northern frontier, they can't find any trace of the Turks, and it is useless to send a large army there."

"Grandpa only needs to bring 2,000 elite cavalry to Beisai, and strictly order the Eagle Yang Mansion of each county to control other armies and fulfill the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people."

Li Yuan thought about it again and again, and there was no better way, so he had to act according to Li Shimin's advice.

------

Since Li Shimin brought the wives of the eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji, Dou Cong and Xin'er, Guanyin often visited the four courtyards.

Sometimes, Xin'er will also bring her son Changsun Ke to Guanyin to play.

On this day, Xin'er happened to bring Changsun Ke to play, and Guanyin was talking to Ding Niangzi and Xin'er, while watching Qin Lan and Shiqin tease Changsun Ke to play.

A few women and children together, the topic is naturally inseparable from the children, Guanyin looked at the less than three years old Changsun Ke, praised him for being smart, clever and naughty, and said that he was like Changsun Zhan when he was a child.

------

Guanyin and Xin'er have nothing to talk about together, Guanyin and Xin'er said before that she and Li Shimin have never had children, because Li Shimin's martial arts have not been successful, and they are concentrating on practicing martial arts.

On this day, Xin'er brought up this topic again, and she asked Guanyin with a smile, "You said that the little aunt is still practicing martial arts, and he has never wanted children, and I don't know when he will be a head when he will practice?"

Guanyin said with a smile, "I heard Brother Shimin say that he is almost done, he is now practicing seventy catties of stone locks, and it is estimated that he will be able to practice in another year."

------

Xin'er listened and laughed, "I really admire you, the two of you are together every day, and you can control yourself."

Guanyin's face turned red when she heard Xin'er make fun of her, and she grabbed the duster on the kang casually and raised it, "Tell me again, I'm going to beat you."

Xin'er raised her hands to protect her chest, made a blocking appearance, and smiled and admitted defeat, "Okay, I won't say it in the future."

Guanyin glared at Xin'er with disgust, put down the duster in her hand, and warned her, "If you dare to say it again, watch me break your skin."

------

A few people were laughing when they heard Zhanhua greeting Li Shimin outside the door, "Erlangjun is back?"

Li Shimin asked Zhan Hua, "What is Sanniang doing?"

The exhibition returned to Li Shimin, "Xin'er Niangzi is here with Xiao Langjun, and Sanniang is talking to her in the house."

When Ding Niangzi and Xin'er heard Li Shimin coming back, they hurriedly stopped laughing and got off the kang.

------

Li Shimin entered the house and Ding Niangzi nodded and smiled at each other, while Xin'er stepped forward to bow to Li Shimin.

Because they are all close people, Li Shimin is not polite to them, he takes off his shoes and sits on the kang next to Guanyin, Ding Niangzi and Xin'er, re-enter the kang, and sit opposite the kang.

A few people talked for a while, and Liuxin'er had lunch together.

After lunch, Xin'er didn't stay any longer, and said goodbye to Li Shimin and Guanyin and returned to her courtyard.

------

After Xin'er left, Li Shimin talked to Guanyin about Yang Guang's edict.

Guanyin was originally happy in her heart, but as soon as she fell to the freezing point, she expected that Li Shimin would definitely go out with her father Li Yuan.

What worries her is that the Turks are different from the thieves, who are mostly outcasts, mostly rabble, and flee when they see the officials and soldiers; The Turks made a living from hunting, and the Hu people were good at riding and shooting, and fighting with the Turks was much more dangerous than suppressing bandits.

------

Li Shimin saw that Guanyin was preoccupied, so he comforted her softly.

"It's not that I haven't conquered the Turks, the Turks are also people, and last year Yanmen rescued the driver, I wasn't afraid that they would scare away with a few flags."

"Ah Mai, just rest assured, we still have to beat him this time, and we won't fight with them."

Guanyin explained to Li Shimin, "Only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you survive a hundred battles, you have to read Grandpa's "Biansai Notes", which is full of Grandpa's experience in dealing with the Turks, as well as the living habits of the Turks."

Li Shimin smiled and reassured Guanyin, "I have imprinted every word of the "Biansai Notes" in my heart, and I have already thought of a strategy to deal with the Turks."

Then, Li Shimin told Guanyin in detail about his thoughts on dealing with the Turks, and Guanyin was a little relieved.

------

On the second day, Li Yuan summoned the civil and military officials of Taiyuan County, read out the edict of the Supreme Emperor, and decided to send troops to attack the Turks in the north. He ordered the five counties of Shanxi to perform their duties safely, strictly prevent thieves from harassing them, ensure peace in the territory under their jurisdiction, and severely punish any slack.

In this expedition, Li Yuan ordered 2,000 elite cavalry to be selected and transferred in the Taiyuan army, and rushed to Mayi with Li Yuan the next day to meet Wang Rengong's troops.

The next day, Li Yuan personally led 2,000 elite cavalry to sacrifice the flag in front of Xingguo Temple, and then set off.

In this northern attack on the Turks, Li Shimin, Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, Dou Cong, Ding Jikan, Duan Zhixuan, Changsun Zhan, and Changsun gradually all participated in the war with the army.

------

The men are talking about blood, wanting to make meritorious deeds and kill the enemy.

What women want is stability, husbands and children, and family peace.

Men can die generously for the sake of loyalty.

Women are afraid of losing their breadwinners and will never be able to protect them.

The men rushed to the battlefield with great pride.

The women frowned at home, their faces sad.

After Li Shimin left, Guanyin felt that the wives of the eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji, Dou Cong and others must be full of worries now, and it was necessary to invite them and Xin'er to get together, she asked Lu Zheng and Qin Lan to go to the courtyard of the four families together, and invited the hostesses of the four families to come to the arrest embassy office on the second day to play.

------

On the morning of the second day, the four female dependents all came to the small courtyard of the arrest embassy as promised.

Liu Hongji's wife, Cui, with her son Renshi and daughter Huiniang.

Dou Cong's wife, You, took her sons Fengcao and Fengyi, and her daughter Yanniang.

The wife of the eldest grandson Shunde, Dun, took her daughter Wan'er.

Xin'er took her eldest grandson Ke.

Coupled with the slaves and maids who accompanied them, there were more than 20 people in the small courtyard at once, and the originally quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.

Guanyin asked Qin Lan to arrange people to lead the children to play in the front yard, and she let Dun's, Cui's, You and Xin'er talk on the kang in the main house.

------

Sure enough, as Guanyin expected, the Dun family, the Cui family, and the You family were all worried, pretending to smile, for the three of them, the words "going to war" were a kind of pain, and this pain had an unforgettable shadow for them.

Because of the conquest of Liaodong, the eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji, and Dou Cong did not return home for several years, and they did not see anyone alive or dead, so You's, Dun's, and Cui's were widowed for several years.

The trauma caused to them by this experience has not been erased to this day.
