"Wow......

A crisp baby cry sounded from the delivery room, and the maids who were waiting anxiously outside all secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Not long after, a female doctor came out of the room, looked at the maidservants, and said, "Tell the Lord quickly, the princess has given birth smoothly, and there is another little lang in the household, and the mother and child are safe!"

At this time, in the hall of Shangyang Palace, Li Tai and his parents were anxiously waiting in the hall, waiting until the maid entered the hall and smiled to report the safety of the mother and child, Li Taidang even stood up from the seat, and Li Xiao also smiled and waved his hand and said: "Go quickly, go quickly to comfort the bride, and add a child to my family, it is really congratulatory!"

When Li Tai heard this, he bowed slightly, and then walked quickly to the delivery room, and all the maids and slaves along the way smiled and congratulated, and he also responded with a smile on his face.

"Aye, Aye, my mother hid in the room and didn't come out, and there were children making noise inside, but I wasn't allowed to enter the room!"

In the outer hall where the delivery room is located, Jiang Lingle, who has been able to walk steadily, wears a tiger head hat, a sleeveless crotch, and a strap on his pants in the crook of his arm.

Li Tai leaned over and picked up the child and tossed it in his arms, then sent it into the arms of the servant girl on the side, and said with a smile: "Silly child, your grandmother has added a little brother to you, and I will play with you in the future. But now your grandmother is very tired, don't go into the room to make a noise, and go to your grandfather's place to tell me the good news!"

While speaking, Li Tai motioned to the maidservant to send this kid to his Lao Tzu Li Xiao to take care of, while he removed his robe in the outer hall before stepping into the room.

The other servants and maidservants in the room who helped to give birth have withdrawn, only in front of the couch, there are Yao Niangzi and a maid to watch over Miaoyin, who has just completed the birth, and the newborn child is carried by Wen Po to the other room to clean the amniotic fluid on his body and deal with the umbilical ear.

Before Li Tai entered, Mrs. Yao got up and let her look at the position next to the bed, Li Tai saw that Miaoyin's face was a little sluggish and pale, and her sideburns were still soaked with sweat on the side of her face, so she couldn't help but feel pity, and stepped forward to hold the lady's wrist that was a little cold, and said softly: "Hard work lady!"

Miao Yin's spirit was still a little dazed at this time, and after hearing her husband's words, her slightly dilated gaze gradually became focused, and after seeing her husband's concerned eyes, she flattened her mouth, pinched Li Tai's fingers with her backhand and said angrily: "This child is more painful than his brother!"

"Later, I will avenge my mother, and I will beat him up when he comes!"

Li Tai knew that the mother's childbirth was hard, so he smiled and comforted, and the lady also responded lightly after hearing this, but when Wen Po hugged the child who had been wrapped in the soft coat, the resentment on her face suddenly dissipated, and she took the initiative to prop up her upper body, held it in front of her arms, and looked at the child's red and wrinkled little face and couldn't help but whisper: "What an ugly doll!"

Newborns are not very inconspicuous, and it always takes a few days to grow before they become cute. When the eldest son was born, Li Tai was still fighting outside, and this time he returned to Shangyang Palace quickly, concentrating on waiting for the birth of the second child at home.

He also stepped forward at this moment, pointed to the child's facial features and smiled, "How can it be ugly? This child has eyes like his mother, and his mouth and nose like mine, and he is very beautiful!"

"How can you see that?"

Although she complained, but when she heard her husband praise the child, Miaoyin also felt that the hard work of this pregnancy and production had been valued, squinted her eyes and chuckled happily, and when the nurse took the child away to feed, she snuggled into her husband's arms again, closed her eyes and rested.

Tang Gong added another son to his household, which naturally made the inside and outside happy, although Li Tai did not let people deliberately publicize it, but then the civil and military people of Tongzhou and Chang'an also came to Shangyang Palace to congratulate.

Although Li Tai himself was very happy in his heart, he didn't want to make any big personnel moves because of this small and medium-sized thing, just to ask his family to entertain the relatives and friends who came to congratulate, and as for other too extensive congratulations and gifts, he refused them all.

He stayed in Shangyang Palace for two more days, accompanied the lady who was still a little weak, and then went straight to Chang'an. In addition to the family matter of his own wife giving birth to a child, he returned quickly from northern Shaanxi this time, and there was another important matter to deal with, that is, this time he went to Tuyuhun to win a big victory and triumphantly conquered the division

Coming back to Beijing.

As the actual leader of the military and political affairs of the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Tai of course also went to Chang'an to welcome the heroes back to the country and enter the court, and presided over the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners to the sky.

After Li Tai arrived in Chang'an, the heroes of this expedition also returned soon after. Due to the next autumn and winter defense to deal with Tuyuhun's counterattack, only 10,000 of the 20,000 soldiers sent to Longyou this time returned, and the original 10,000 divisions and brigades of Longyou also took advantage of the reward to come to Guanzhong to recuperate.

On the day when the heroes returned to Beijing, Li Tai led the Beijing Chinese warrior masses to Chang'an Chengxi Avenue to greet them, and when the road ahead of the conscription appeared in view, the sound of magnificent military music suddenly sounded under the city.

"The last general was fortunate not to be dishonored, and this time he went out to break Tuguhun, even pulling out Shudun, He Zhen, Fu Qi and other cities, killing and wounding and capturing tens of thousands of thieves, and also obtained cattle and horses, money and grain, gold and jade and other huge things, all the seized will be transported back to the country to offer the Lord, please the Lord to inspect!"

Shi Ning, the governor of Liangzhou, personally led his troops into the court to offer victory, and when the team approached, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted and then approached the front, bowed in front of Li Tai, and proudly played the report loudly.

Li Tai also took two steps forward, personally helped Shi Ning up, and then took his hand and said loudly to the soldiers behind him: "My family and country are fortunate to have loyal and brave monarchs, and I am also fortunate to have the service of all monarchs, so I have to boast of the four Yi and call the strong Yunei!" This time the division won a great victory, the power of the monarchs, the court has its own rewards to reward the meritorious soldiers, and the township is also proud of the heroes! You have worked hard, and the future will be for me, and you will be glorified in the world, and you will return with a full load!"

"Tang Gong is righteous, and the rest of the people are willing to serve and never give up!"

When all the soldiers heard Tang Gong's praise and promise, their mood was immediately excited, and they raised their arms and shouted in response.

At this time, the fortress west of Chang'an to settle the heroes and prisoners had already been prepared, and the mutton and other kinds of food cooked in the cauldron between the camps were already fragrant.

At the same time, a sumptuous banquet has also been prepared in the imperial city in the city to comfort Shi Ning and other victorious generals. Han Guo, Liang Tai and several others who were sent to Longyou when they went out on the expedition are still temporarily stationed in Longyou to deal with the war after the autumn, and Shi Ning and Shi Xinwei, who were originally in Longyou, and Liang Shiyan and others returned to the dynasty together.

In addition to the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty, there were also the Turkic Mengye Hu and a special agent who returned to the court this time. The special service, of course, was not a public servant who performed special duties in later generations, but a type of Turkic official position, which was often held by the children of the Khan's kindred.

Because the Turks also sent men and horses to attack Tuyuhun this time, they also sent representatives to the court to report the victory.

In the following banquet in the imperial city, Li Tai couldn't help but ask Shi Ning and others about the details of the battle. Although the relevant recitals have been sent to the country before, how can a simple written description compare with the first-person perspective of a person who has experienced it?

Shi Ning and the others then talked about the process of this expedition, and their men and horses gathered in Shanzhou in the Huangshui Valley, and then entered the Qinghai region through Chiling, which was later the Sun Moon Mountain. Chiling is also an important dividing line between the plateau and Longyou, and the altitude of the westward march is suddenly high, and the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in later generations have taken this as the boundary.

When the Western Wei army entered the Qinghai region, Tuyuhun also realized that the Tuyuhun leader Quarlu, who claimed to be the Khan, gathered heavy troops in the two cities of Shudun and Hezhen to wait for the Wei division. Shudun City is located in the southeast of Qinghai, and was also the old capital of Tuyuhun, and later after Kwa Lu ascended the throne, because the situation in Longyou became more and more severe, so he moved his capital to Fuqi City on the west side of Qinghai.

After Shi Ning and others led the army to Shudun City, they did not choose to directly attack the city defended by Tuyuhun heavy troops, but led their troops to the west and made a posture of directly attacking and ambushing the city, and the defenders of Shudun City could not hold it and went out of the city to prepare to copy the back road of the Wei army, but they were ambushed by the Wei army on the way, killed a return horse gun, defeated the Shudun defenders in a battle and captured the city, and gained a foothold in Qinghai.

After learning of the loss of Shudun City, Kwalu was shocked in his heart, so he gathered his men and horses in Hezhen City, preparing to stop the Wei army here. Shi Ning led the army into the siege of Hezhen City, and at the same time sent a group of elite cavalry and Turkic soldiers and horses to attack the city of Fuqi, and even the wife of Quarlu left in the city was captured.

Seeing that he was invincible, Kwaru led his troops to break through the siege and run westward, and went straight to Wuhai through Dafeichuan. Since then, this time the battle of Tuyuhun has been a complete victory, because the weather has entered autumn at this time, and the plateau operation has also made the soldiers feel deeply uncomfortable, so Shi Ning did not order to continue the attack, but looted the personnel and materials of the three big cities of Tuyuhun that he had captured, and then led the troops to withdraw to Longyou, and only kept a group of men and horses in Chiling to deal with the subsequent offensive and defensive operations.

The story of the war is simple, but it is not easy to achieve. Especially in the process of rapid transfer to battle, the attrition of non-combat personnel was even more than that of the fallen soldiers, and the combat environment on the plateau still had a lot of restrictions for the Wei army, and it was difficult to advance and retreat as freely as the plain battle.

Although the price paid in this battle was not small, in terms of the results, these sacrifices were also very worthwhile, and the new and old capitals of Tuyuhun were destroyed, which even exceeded Li Tai's expectations before.

If there is any regret, it is that this battle has not been able to fully consolidate the results achieved in the residence, and due to various factors such as material supply and plateau environment and climate, it is still difficult to build a solid and stable stronghold in the core area of Tuyuhun at present.
