The next day, Eleven Niang met with He Zhan, while Lu Li and Yu Wensheng had not yet arrived, He Zhan "old and informal" quipped: "Since yesterday, I slept for twelve hours, and today I thought about coming to Mrs. Tai for lunch, and I saw that the fifth sister was also there, so scared that I thought I was alive and ghostly, and I was used to Ruan Erniang's face, but I was not used to seeing your true face at this time, and I almost blurted out the word 'fifth sister' in front of Mrs. Tai." β
Of course, there is an exaggeration in this statement, and Eleven Niang didn't want to deal with him at all, so she looked up at an apricot tree outside the corridor, and said to herself: "I don't know when this tree was planted, and it has borne so much fruit." β
He Zhan was surprised, turned his face to look, turned his head in shock, and raised half of his eyebrows: "Fifth sister is dazzled?" How can there be fruit, don't say that this is just for watching and planting trees, it will bear fruit, and it is already out of season. β
Eleven Niang smiled at this time: "It turns out that you still know the word 'untrue'?" β
He Zhan only woke up to the fact that Eleven Niang was sarcastically exaggerating him, he was not annoyed, and leaned on a few leans, but he didn't smile anymore: "Last night, Xiao Jiudai passed on the order of His Royal Highness to prevent the fifth sister from showing up, I saw that although you did not insist, I was clearly not very happy in my heart, thinking that you would make a temperament, so you simply stayed in Pingkangfang to show that you obeyed the order, I really didn't expect you to go back to your parents' house so soon." β
Eleven Niang was even more angry: "When have I ever been so willful?" Even if you do have some scheming in your heart, where can you show your temperament? Besides, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is not in Chang'an, so I can make him see it? His intention is nothing more than that he doesn't want more people to know that I have infiltrated Chang'an a long time ago, but I don't even have to hide it from my own relatives. β
He also said that he didn't have a temperament, and when he mentioned this, he saw that his face had changed, and his throat was like smoke and fire!
He Zhan originally wanted to enlighten Eleven Niang a few words, but after thinking about it, the matter between her and He Ye and her husband and wife had to be resolved by themselves, and others intervened a lot, maybe they would add to the snake, so they didn't break it down, hehe smiled: "The fifth sister doesn't blame His Highness, in my opinion, His Royal Highness has no other meaning, and the fifth sister also knows that those prominent non-commissioned officers are very difficult, and there are many people like Xiao Gong who are stubborn and adhere to orthodoxy, and there are also many clan elders such as Li and Yuan, who still want to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, even Jing Zhaolu, I have made up my mind to go to His Royal Highness's battleship, and the flattery is enough for people to drink a pot, so I said that last night, I was charging in front, and Rong Guogong and his gang of children have been haunted by my side, saying that they are afraid that I will make a mistake, and they are in the way, but it hurts me to not show it, and I was struck by a Turkic in vain, although I did not hurt my muscles and bones, but also left a wound three inches long, and I shed a big bowl of blood. β
Eleven Niang is not worried at all, she knows He Zhan's style very well, if she is really hurt so badly, she won't mention a word, and if she says it so exaggeratedly, it won't be in the way.
When Lu Li and Yu Wensheng came here under the pretext of visiting Mrs. Tai, the gag between the sister and brother ended, and Eleven Niang heard a serious remark and summarized yesterday's incident.
First, the bad news - Xie Ying and Yi Li are missing.
Since the capture of the Daming Palace, the 30,000 Turkic guards were successfully captured, this group of people was imprisoned in the Forbidden Garden, because most of the troops had to participate in the decisive battle to seize the city, and did not leave enough manpower to guard, who knew that Yili was able to get out of trouble, and quietly rescued Xie Ying to abscond, I don't know where they hid, although the nine gates are strict, it is impossible to escape from the city, but Chang'an City is so big, it is not easy to search for these two people.
"Since the princess has already installed Ai Xiaoniang into the palace and successfully captured the Xie family, why don't you just order this scourge to be eradicated?" Yu Wensheng was puzzled.
Shi Niang thought about it for a while, thinking that it didn't matter if Jiang Gongzhibu had reservations to inform Yu Wensheng, so she exposed Xie Ying's identity: "This person's soul consciousness is actually from a thousand years later, occupying Xie's body, I have consulted Ling Xu's Heavenly Master, and even the Heavenly Master can't be sure whether if Xie dies, whether the soul consciousness will occupy another person's body, if a similar situation happens again, we can't prevent it." β
It is easy for Ai Lu to kill Xie Ying with a knife, but if the divine consciousness of the "returnee" finds a parasitic body, in case it is placed in the body of the Jin King or the cronies around Shi Niang, it is a great hidden danger that cannot be prevented, and it is enough to feel cold and creepy on the back when you think about it, so Eleven Niang thinks that it is better to leave Xie Ying alive, and she still knows who to guard against - according to Ai Lu's verification, since Xie Ying is greedy for life and afraid of death, it proves that she does not know whether her soul consciousness can continue to exist after death, so she will not try to "get out" by herself.
Yu Wensheng was shocked by this unbelievable statement and couldn't speak for a long time, shook his head and said he didn't believe it, but finally he didn't dwell too much on this issue, although he hated Xie Ying, he didn't think that this person was very capable, the real enemy was still Ashina Qisang, Xie Ying, who had lost her backer, even if he got out, he was just a lingering breather, so he was not afraid.
He also reported: "Of the 70,000 Turkic guards, more than 20,000 were annihilated, more than 30,000 were captured, and more than 10,000 fled to the northeast, but General Wang did not pursue them. β
Eleven Niang's head: "These deserters should be in the direction of Tongguan to meet with Ashina Qisang, there are only more than 10,000 people, and it will not affect the battle situation, Wang Hengshi let them retreat, maybe they have already received His Royal Highness's order, His Royal Highness has been prepared, either he feels that this deserter is not to be afraid, or he has a countermeasure." β
He Zhan also said: "General Wang's task is to cooperate with us to recapture Chang'an, cut off the retreat of the Turkic Department, and force them to retreat outside the pass, there are only more than 10,000 deserters, and they are panicked and panicked, it is not difficult to arrange interception and killing on the way, and even if Ashina Qisang has to report the bad news of the loss of Chang'an, there are 100,000 Yunzhou elites in the city who are holding on behind closed doors, and there is a threat from the Youzhou Department behind, how can he have a chance to turn defeat into victory?" And if Chang'an is lost, the Turkic army will definitely be in turmoil, and His Highness will be able to gain the upper hand. β
Eleven Niang asked about her own casualties yesterday.
Lu Li said: "Xianwang's children and private guards are charging in front, and the people are only strong in the back, so the casualties are mainly on the Xianwang side, and because of the cooperation of General Wang outside the Qixia Gate, he entered the city in time, resulting in the Turkic Department being in chaos, and our casualties are not large, I and Yuwen Dayin have arranged for the city to be a medical shop and many Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to try their best to treat the wounded, and the specific casualties are still being counted, but the preliminary investigation shows that most of the war dead are private guards. β
These private guards are the members of each family, and of course they are loyal to the main family, and they do their best to protect them, and it is hoped that their children will rarely die, and this battle of life and death, the price paid by their own side is very small, and it can be described as a great victory.
"Although all families will appease the families of the war dead, we can't take it lightly, many affairs, to calm people's hearts, we still have to rely on Yu Wenjun and Xue Sixth Brother to do their work." Eleven Niang said.
Lu Li bowed his head and deliberately said about a person: "The reason why the incident was so smooth last night was that there was a person who made significant contributions, he was originally a guard at Chunming Gate, and he was ordered to be transferred to Waiguo yesterday, and there was turmoil. β
"This person is Yu Wenjun's arrangement? Even if he is a Zhou person, how can he let the Turkic Ministry trust him and send him to Waiguo in advance? Eleven Niang said strangely.
Yu Wensheng smiled bitterly: "Xia Guan is not so capable, this matter is indeed a coincidence, although Jiang Shuzhong said that his name sounds like a Han Chinese, he is actually a former Turkic remnant, but his family, has lived in Chang'an for several generations, Xia Guan pretended to vote for the Turkic Khan, and suggested that Ding Yong in the city be responsible for patrolling, he was appointed as a small leader because of his Turkic ancestry, Xuan Zhi tried him earlier, this person claimed that when he saw the hope of Chang'an's recovery, his blood was boiling, and under the impulse, he immediately thought of defecting, he did not see himself as a Turk, and preferred to return to the past life, not disturbed by war, stable and stable business, marrying a wife and having children. β
"As far as I can see, there is no cunning in this person's words, although he is a Turkic descendant, he has obviously been assimilated by China, to say that the princess and him still have a relationship, when we entered the city, it was he who was in charge of the investigation, and had some old friendship with the Ruan family's steward, and his claim that he had always been engaged in business could indeed be confirmed, and because of his defection, at least reduce our casualties, so I think that Jiang Shuzhong should not be treated as a prisoner of war, but should be rewarded for meritorious deeds." Lu Li said again.
Of course, this should be treated differently, Shi Niang originally wanted to echo, but before the words came out, she swallowed back again, and only said: "Your Highness ordered that the affairs in the city be decided by Yuwenjun and the sixth brother through consultation, how to place this person The two of them will discuss and decide, as for the reward for meritorious deeds, it will be decided by His Royal Highness." β
Lu Li noticed that Shi Niang's words seemed to be a little emotional, and his brows were almost invisible and frowned slightly, so he heard He Zhan say: "Hearing you mention this Jiang Shuzhong, I also think of someone, I don't know if the princess has an impression of Lei Yangdi's surname?" β
"Isn't this Thunder nephew, who responded to Ashina Qisang's so-called virtue politics from Luoyang, and can't wait to come to Chang'an to serve?"
"That's him! I had a few contacts with him in the past, knowing that he and Yuan Bao deed, I felt very surprised at the time, Yuan Bao is quite straightforward, very self-disciplined, although his temperament is a little arrogant, but his conduct is blameless, not by relying on flattery to get him to be treated with blue eyes, and he has always despised Lei Ting and other queen mothers, but he treats Lei Yangdi differently, isn't it weird? At first, I thought that Yuan Bao didn't know anyone, and was disguised and coaxed by Lei Yangdi, and mistakenly regarded him as a fellow believer, but after thinking about it carefully, although Yuan Bao is a prominent son of the sect, he is neither a grandson nor a grandson of the sect, nor is he cultivated as a pillar of the family, and the queen mother's followers can't win any benefits from him, so I guessed whether Lei Yangdi really got out of the mud and was not stained? β
The reason why Lei Ting was appointed as the governor of Yunzhou, He Zhan used some strength in secret, and of course he also paid attention to the children of this clan, but Lei Yangdi's father was still not free of his habits when he was old, although he and Lei Ting were brothers of the same mother, but he only knew how to be greedy for pleasure, and he had no ambition, Lei Yangdi was not his son-in-law, among the many sons and nephews of the Lei family, it seemed a little bleak, although his friendship with the children of the family aroused He Zhan's vigilance, but after a while, he did not find that he had other intentions, so he left it behind, paid more attention to Lei Dong and others.
"Until last night, Yuan Bao recommended Lei Yangdi to me, guaranteeing that he returned to Chang'an not to serve the Turks, but to have other plans, and was willing to do his part to recover Chang'an, Yuan Bao was so arrogant, he actually whispered and begged me to give Lei Yangdi a chance, at that time I didn't have to think about it, so I agreed, I didn't want Yuan Bao to attack Waiguo, excessive bravery, riding first, leaving many of his own private soldiers far behind, and the result was deeply encircled, fortunately, Lei Yangdi has been gritting his teeth and following him, and blocked a fatal blow for Yuan Bao, Otherwise, Yuan Bao would have died in battle, Lei Yangdi was seriously injured, and he was not awake until this time, and it could be seen that he was really risking his life, not just for self-preservation, and to fight for merit with bitter meat. β
He Zhan said this, of course, at the behest of Yuan Bao, to take off the hat of defecting to the enemy for Lei Yangdi, at least he will not be punished in the future, and he will be ridiculed and reprimanded by the world.
