Volume 1 Beacon Troubles Section 50 A New Situation
After Li Yuan and his three daughters finished eating, they asked Li Xiuning to stay and talk about it, although some words were inconvenient for the father and daughter to talk about each other, but Dou Shi, the mother of Li Xiuning's four sisters and brothers, had been immortal for seven years, so Li Yuan also took on the responsibility of a mother.
After taking a sip of the tea made by his daughter using the new brewing method, Li Yuan reminisced about the fragrance of the tea and muttered: "Yes, Xiuning, you really want to stay with Luo Yu's kid for the rest of your life?" ”
Li Xiuning said: "Father, in his life, he can meet such a gentleman and love each other, and his daughter has nothing else to ask for." ”
Li Yuan sighed and said: "My father knows that you have been with him all these days, getting along day and night, and it is inevitable that you will rely on him, are you sure it is not impulsive?" ”
Li Xiuning smiled lightly: "As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world, this is a poem he wrote to his daughter, father, what do you think of him?" ”
Li Yuan said with a smile after reading it: "The literary talent is amazing, there is a legacy of Jian'an, to tell the truth, after the separation of Chang'an, my father has been paying attention to you for half a year, with his performance on the battlefield, although he is a little immature, but he is also decent, and he can be regarded as a talent that can be created." ”
Li Xiuning said happily: "It seems that my father has a good impression of him!" ”
Li Yuan smiled again: "Yes, you can govern the army on the horse, you can calm the people when you get off the horse, and you can write a Chinese chapter, such a man is the most attractive girl like you who dances with knives and guns." ”
Li Xiuning said coquettishly: "My daughter is a general of the Great Sui Hussars, how can she be a girl who dances with knives and guns?" ”
Li Yuan snorted: "Yes, my father is wrong, my daughter is a general who doesn't let her eyebrows go." ”
Li Xiuning was happy in her heart, not only did Li Yuan accept Luo Yu, but she was also happy that her sincerity was down, she seemed to have a feeling of haunting Luo Yu.
Li Yuan saw that Li Xiuning was smiling and didn't speak, so he said: "Xiuning, today's situation, the situation is changing, I bless you for my father that you can find a good home, but if you want to promise you to marry for your father, there is also a condition." ”
Li Xiuning came back to his senses and asked, "Father, please speak." ”
Li Yuan looked at Li Xiuning dotingly, recalled for a moment, and then spoke: "Tell you the story of your mother Dou for my father." ”
Li Xiuning immediately thought of that gentle and beautiful figure, when her mother died, she was eleven or twelve years old, and she will never forget the face of her reluctant husband and children.
Speaking of this Dou family, she is not an ordinary woman from ordinary people, she was born in a famous family, with golden branches and jade leaves, and her background is extremely noble, and she is the pearl of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Shenwu Gong Dou Yi and the eldest princess of Xiangyang.
When Dou was about six or seven years old, she did something very surprising, she had boldly advised Emperor Wu of Zhou!
The queen of Emperor Wu of Zhou at that time was Ashina, and Ashina was the daughter of the Turkic king, I don't know why, Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't like this Ashina clan very much, and snubbed this queen.
At this time, the Dou family stood up, and the little girl said to her uncle, the Turkic strength is very strong, since you have married the Turkic princess, then you should treat her well, the Turks have a good relationship with us, we are not afraid of the Northern Qi in the Kwantung region, nor are we afraid of the Chen of the Southern Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was shocked when he heard this, and then immediately changed his attitude and treated Empress Ashina well.
At the age of three, Dou read "The Female Commandment" and "The Biography of the Daughters", and he never forgot it.
When Dou reached the age of talking about marriage, his father Dou Yi made a difficulty, and finally came up with a clever trick, which was to compete to recruit relatives.
A peacock was drawn on the door screen, and all the people who came to the door to ask for relatives to shoot the peacock's eyes, but these people who came to ask for relatives were not brilliant in archery, and none of them met the requirements.
At this time, Li Yuan came, calmed down, drew a bow and arrow, and the arrow hit the peacock's eyes, Dou's parents sighed Li Yuan's magic skills, and gave Dou Xu to Li Yuan.
Dou gave birth to four children, Li Yuanji, Li Xiuning, Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng, who died of illness seven years ago, which became the biggest pain in Li Yuan's life.
Li Xiuning didn't know much about her mother, firstly, Li Yuan rarely mentioned it, and secondly, she was still young at the time, and now when she listens to her father, she misses her infinitely.
After Li Yuan finished talking about the Dou family, he said with tears in his eyes: "Daughter, the most precious thing in the world is the time with the people you love, you are devoted to Luo Yu, and he is also concerned about you, how can my father be ruthless and break you apart?" But the father has to think about your future, after you get married, you must be disarmed, and you will not be allowed to go to the battlefield again, can you agree to this condition? ”
Li Yuan had already mentioned this matter in his letter to Li Xiuning, and at this moment, listening to Li Yuan once again solemnly bring it up, it was obvious that he was worried that she was concerned about the battle array, and then Luo Yu also said goodbye to the battlefield in order to accompany her.
Li Xiuning saw tears in her eyes and sobbed: "Thank you for her father's care, my daughter promised her father that she would be disarmed after getting married, stay away from the battlefield with her husband Luo Yu, and never mention the eventful years again." ”
Li Yuan continued: "Can you make a decision for Luo Yu?" ”
Li Xiuning nodded resolutely, she believed that Luo Yu was telling the truth, and she also believed that Luo Yu's promise would definitely be done, as he said, there are so many beautiful scenery and good things in the southeast and northwest that don't go to play and enjoy, who wants to spend their days in endless battles?
Li Yuan smiled with relief, but he was still not very relieved, thought about it and said: "For my father, I have to listen to Luo Yu's personal promise to be able to marry you to him with confidence, why can't this kid come to propose marriage?" Didn't Lao Niu tell him clearly? ”
Li Xiuning blushed and said coquettishly: "He shouldn't be busy over there, don't you worry about Uncle Niu?" ”
Li Yuan just wanted to tease a few more words, but the guard at the door shouted, "Report, lord, the second son sent an urgent letter from Songta." ”
Put away my thoughts, I wondered in my heart, Niu Jinda's letter did not arrive, and the people who went out on a mission, but the letter arrived first, could it be that something happened to Lao Niu?
The guard handed the letter to Li Xiuning, who came to receive the letter, and said, "Miss, there is also your letter, which is below." ”
Li Xiuning nodded in thanks, turned around and gave the letter to Li Yuan, then picked up the letter with no words on the envelope, and said, "Father, my daughter has retired first, you should rest early." ”
Li Yuan nodded and opened Li Shimin's letter.
This look, directly shocked into a cold sweat, Yang Guang died in Yangzhou, the Great Sui Guozuo has been removed, the people of the world proposed to directly raise the banner of rebellion, go south to capture Chang'an, seize the granary in Guanzhong, and then go east out of Luoyang, quickly occupy the two capitals and then build the country and Kaiyuan, now is the best time, the Li family is also prepared in various places.
But Li Yuan felt that it was inappropriate, this Yang Guang and his three sons were no longer alive, but there was still the eldest grandson Yang Yu who might still be in the world, if this Yang Yu was found, he was regarded as the emperor, and the princes were coerced by the Son of Heaven like Cao Cao, not only could he inherit the Great Sui Zhengshuo, but also had more time to prepare for the army, which could save a lot of trouble.
If you can't find Yang Yu and directly build the country and Kaiyuan, then you can only fight the rebels everywhere, I hope this situation will come later.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan summoned his personal guards and ordered: "The Ziwei Pavilion in Chang'an will do its best to find the young master Yang Yu, remember, if he is still alive, he must protect it, otherwise, let Chang He raise his head to see him." ”
The guard got the order and hurried to make arrangements.
The collapse of the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army, Li Yuan didn't care much, what he cared about was whether the siege of Changshan and Zhuozhou could be successfully broken, and now they were fighting each other and retreating north, and Shuozhou soldiers and horses could be transferred back to the south, which could alleviate the lack of troops in Yangquan.
Yuncheng has been abandoned and is now a terra nullius, so let Xiaogong lead 35,000 soldiers and horses of Jincheng to garrison it, and at the same time build pontoon bridges over the Yellow River and build warships to prepare for the southward attack on Chang'an and Luoyang.
The guard of Hangu Pass will be Duan Zhixuan, his identity is not known to many people, he is a retainer of the Li family, as soon as the army arrives, he opens and closes the door to welcome him, and it is easy to take Chang'an, but it is not yet the time.
Write a good letter to Li Shimin and inform him of his thoughts, lest he be young and impulsive and spoil a big thing.
He also wrote a letter to Li Daozong, the defender of Shuozhou, asking him to divide 5,000 soldiers and horses to Yangquan to defend after the retreat of the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army.
When everything was arranged, another guard was called over and ordered the letter to be delivered to both places as quickly as possible.
He is actually very pitiful Yang Guang, who has reigned for seven years, except for the first two years of recuperation, the remaining five years are tossed, of course, there is also the need for him to toss, and in the end, he himself was tossed to death, and the powerful Sui Dynasty was also tossed and destroyed.
According to the current situation, can Xiuning and Luo Yu still be relieved of their armor? Li Yuan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Yang Guang died in Yangzhou, and although the Li family knew about it from various rebels a few days in advance, it was always going to spread.
When everyone knows the day, a new situation will eventually come, and no one can guess how those forces that are still loyal to the Great Sui will move.
Luo Yu didn't dare to guess, the trajectory of this time and space has seriously deviated from the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties that he knew, according to his original time and space, the seventh year of the Great Cause was an eastward crusade for Yang Guang and others, but now, Yang Guang is dying.
It seems that the familiar Wagangzhai will not appear now, and even if it does, it is not the Wagangzhai uprising that he is familiar with, because the fate of Xu Shiji, Li Mi, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Wang Bodang and others has changed, and it is not clear whether it changed because of his arrival.
Wang Shichong, Du Fuwei, Xu Yuanlang, Zhu Cang and other 36 anti-kings and 72 roads have not been seen at this moment, and most of them may be loyal to the Great Sui.
As soon as Yang Guang died, how many of these people really supported the Yang family and sat on this splendid country again? Nobody knows.
Luo Yu didn't want Li Yuan to build the country too early, and now the situation is still unclear, if he can find the young Yang Yu, it will be more advantageous to postpone the emperor for a few years.
Li Shimin didn't think so, he wrote the letter and showed it to Luo Yu, and said a lot of truths, Luo Yu didn't refute it, just asked him to send it to Li Yuan.
If Li Yuan also operates completely according to Li Shimin's suggestion, Luo Yu feels that Li Yuan is definitely old and confused, Chang'an and Luoyang can be pinched in the palm of his hand, but once the founding of the country and the beginning of the Yuan, it will become the target of public criticism, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Luo Yu believes that with Li Yuan's political sensitivity, no matter whether it is true or not, Yang Yu will always appear in Chang'an, and then be enshrined as the emperor, and he himself hides behind the scenes as an audience, is it not easier than going directly to the stage?
Luo Yu read the information sent by Zhang Yang, it was the second urgent war report sent by Zhuozhou, when the letter was sent, the four-nation coalition army was stepping up the siege of the city, Zhuozhou was in danger, it could be regarded as urgent, but now with the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army, it is not so important.
The third plan previously arranged had already been launched, and when the Turk and Mongolian troops retreated, they left behind all kinds of baggage, and asked the special combat team to load them and transport them to Baoding and Cangzhou.
Luo Yu wrote to Luo Yi and Zhao Kuangyin respectively, asking them to send elites to Zhuozhou City with the clothes of the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army, and take advantage of the night to sneak attack the four-nation coalition army that was besieging the city, depending on the situation to expand the results of the battle, and the siege of Zhuozhou was easily solved.
As for whether the two generals will act according to Luo Yu's plan, Luo Yu is not worried, when dealing with foreign races, the Han people are still relatively united, not to mention that it can be done without much effort.
Niu Jinda brought another jar of burning knives in, this is a light wine after three steaming, the degree is about thirty, he should be fine to drink two jars, let him get drunk, maybe it will be much better.
While waiting for Li Yuan's reply, Luo Yu was also thinking about whether he could let go of all this after he and Li Xiuning got married? Can the promise to Li Xiuning be fulfilled?
What about her? Can she really put down the great cause of her father, younger brother and Li family to follow her to wander the world and play the world?
Luo Yu has no answer now, no matter who it is, it will be extremely difficult to make this choice.
