Chapter 249: Unforgettable
In the minds of the Uighur men, there was not so much elaboration. Ah Si waved his hand and said, "As long as you are in love with your brothers, you can marry Jin Lan." General Li, if you are two years older than me, I will call you big brother! From today onwards, you will also be the prince of my Uighurs, haha!"
"This can't be done!" Li immediately refused solemnly, "Young master, I can bow down to you, but I must not be the prince of the Uighurs." I am a general of Great Qi and a courtier of the Great Qi Emperor, and this cannot be changed under any circumstances!"
"I didn't say I wanted you to change!" said Ah Si, "You are still the general of the Great Qi, but you are also the elder brother of Ah Si and the prince of the Uighurs!"
Li breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will be ashamed - Brother Asi, let's worship the heavens and worship the heavens!"
"Okay!" laughed.
"Congratulations, brother!" Greentown was also very happy, "Congratulations, Handsome General." Congratulations to the two of you, and one more good brother!"
At this moment, a Uighur colonel ran in from outside the palace, bowed down in front of the palace and said: "Report to the young master! A great battle has broken out on the banks of the Lenga River! The great minister of Jieganas is leading his army across the river and has clashed with the rebels stationed there. A handful of defeated rebels are retreating towards the Golden Horde. ”
Ah Si frowned and said, "It seems that the people on the other side of the Lengge River don't know what happened here in the Golden Horde. Brother, let's lead the army together to meet it! Disperse the defeated soldiers and tell the news to the Prime Minister of Jiegangas!"
"Okay!" Li Shen said, "You and my brother, let's fight with our comrades again! But we must remember one thing and try to kill as little as possible." for they are all thy people. Now that the Khan has been defeated, the other rebels are leaderless and can be subdued. ”
"Brother has a point. Little brother is you. Ah Si was also a little careful, and said after thinking about it, "Brother, it's better to play the banner of Daqi, I believe that those people will understand when they see it." ”
"That's what I thought, too. Let's go!"
The two men gathered a thousand cavalry, opened the gate of the Golden Horde, and charged westward.
The blood-red Tang character flag fluttered on the snowy grassland again.
The dry and cold north wind howled among the palaces of the Imperial City, sweeping the ground spotlessly. The snow has receded and the weather is still cold.
Xiao Yunhe sat in the study of the Wude Palace, watching the music with a pot of fire. On the side, Han Chaozhong was cleaning up the folds on the table, meticulous.
Xiao Yunhe picked up a copy of the border pass and glanced at it, his brows furrowed, and he said to himself: "This Li Huaiguang is really ......."
Han Chaozhong heard it clearly, and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
After getting along these days, Xiao Yunhe and Han Chaozhong have also become very close. He handed the fold in his hand to Han Chaozhong and said, "Retreat, you can see for yourself." Is it too reckless for Li Huaiguang to do this?"
Han Chaozhong took it and took a look, and was also taken aback, and said, "Li Dashuai actually asked Li to take 2,000 foot soldiers and rush to the Uighur Golden Horde on foot?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yunhe said with some concern, "There is no way in the ice and snow, what kind of ability does Li have, can he fly over?" Although he is young, he is a rare general. But because of this, I don't want him to lose worthless in the snow and ice. Li Liangqi had just passed away, and his son didn't know the news yet, so he went to experience life and death at this time. I'm so ashamed of them!"
Han Chaozhong thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much. Come to think of it, although Li Huaiguang has a rough personality, he is more shrewd than anyone else when he fights. Since he dared to let Li lead people there, he must have his grasp and reason. Counting up, it has been twenty days since Li set off. Perhaps, they've all succeeded?"
"I hope so!" Xiao Yunhe exhaled softly, his expression still a little worried. He thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the matter of the expedition to the west." There can be no further delay. The snow has stopped, and the snow is melting. It's time for me to gather my army. Han Chaozhong, you go to the Hongwen Pavilion to inform you, and let Wu Yuanheng, Ma Sui, Lu Zhen and the six Shangshu come to the Wude Palace. ”
"Yes. Han Chaozhong immediately left.
Soon after, the crowd arrived one by one.
Xiao Yunhe asked straight to the point: "Wang Yi, how is the money and grain raised?"
Wang Yi is obviously much more emaciated and thinner than before, and it seems that the recent series of battles has broken his heart. He said, "Go back to your majesty." In the past month, Weichen has urgently transferred grain in the major granaries in the Guannei, and has now raised 500,000 stones of grain and grass. The treasury is full, and now it can allocate 6 million yuan for military salaries. The only thing that was lacking was winter clothing. So far. Weichen tried his best, but only raised 180,000 sets of winter clothes and bedding. This is still a huge gap from the 400,000 sets required by His Majesty. ”
"How can this be?" Xiao Yunhe's face was a little unkind.
Wang Yi looked pale and said in a panicked voice: "Your Majesty." In the past, the imperial court's military reserves always only had standing materials such as weapons and horse gear. Winter clothes are converted into cash, and then purchased by the army in local states and counties, and the state generally does not distribute them. Therefore, His Majesty temporarily asked Weichen to make up these 400,000 winter clothes, which is indeed not enough time. Wechen sent almost all the officials of the household department. He even went to Shannan and other places to purchase supplies. More than 1,000 workers were hired to work day and night to make winter clothes and bedding. Despite this, it is estimated that it will take at least half a month to prepare. ”
"Half a month?" Xiao Yunhe raised his eyebrows with a sullen face. "When the time comes, all the fighters will be lost. The soldiers also froze to death and suffered a lot of frostbite, so what use do you need your winter clothes? Within three days, find a way to complete these winter clothes and bedding. I heard that Li Guangyan's army, which was stationed outside the national capital, was now miserable. They came from the warm land of Gangnam. I don't get used to the cold in Kannai at all. Many soldiers had to stuff grass into their clothes to keep warm. Stay by the fire at night and don't leave, or you will freeze to death. Wang Yi, do you want to try this taste? I don't know why I'm forcing you?"
Wang Ye was so frightened that Chu Yan's body went soft. Immediately knelt down and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives your sins! Weichen has indeed tried his best! There are more than 200,000 sets of winter clothes and bedding, and three days will not be able to make up no matter what." Wechen was incapable of being convicted. If you have nothing to say, please surrender your majesty!"
"You ......" Xiao Yunhe was about to get angry when he saw it, and Lu Zhen hurriedly stood up on the side and said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
"If you have something to say, just say it. Xiao Yunhe held his temper and sat down again.
Lu Zhen bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Yi is indeed guilty of dereliction of duty, but it is also a crime for a reason, please calm your anger." For this time, the focus is on dealing with the problem of winter clothes and bedding, and if you want to punish the crime, why not wait until the afterthought?"
Xiao Yunhe glanced at Lu Zhen and said, "What is your good plan?"
Lu Zhen replied: "Weichen thinks that the near fire should be rescued first. The winter clothes and bedding that Wang Ye had brought together should have been distributed to Li Guangyan's army stationed outside the city first. They have an army of 100,000 and 180,000 sets of winter clothes and bedding, which can barely support them. The more than 200,000 units to be added are for additional land, so you might as well take your time. If you really need it urgently, you might as well buy winter clothes from the people of the national capital. The national capital has a household registration of 3 million, and 200,000 sets of winter clothes are easy to gather. ”
Xiao Yunhe said: "Do you want to let the soldiers of the land wear miscellaneous uniforms into battle? Isn't it a joke!"
Lu Zhen smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, you don't choose food when you're hungry, and you don't choose clothes when you're cold." The key is to solve the problem of soldiers suffering from the cold. 180,000 sets of clothes are in an emergency, and the other is just a spare change of clothes, and Weichen thinks there is nothing wrong with it. ”
Xiao Yunhe thought about it, although he felt a little uncomfortable, but he accepted it. So he said, "Get up, Wang." Then you can do it according to what Lu Zhen said. Within three days, gather the rest of the winter clothes and bedding, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"Wechen obeys the order......" Wang Yi stood up. It was cold, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Xue Cuncheng on the side suddenly appeared, bowed his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say." ”
Say. Xiao Yunhe glanced at him and wondered in his heart: What are you doing at this time?
Wechen believes that His Majesty has changed now. Xue Cuncheng has always been outspoken, and his tone is rigid.
Xiao Yunhe's face remained unchanged, and he said quietly: "Go on." ”
"His Majesty likes to talk about pomp and circumstance now. Xue Cuncheng said, "The most important thing for the soldiers who went out to fight on the battlefield was food and clothing. If it is a variegated floor, cold clothes and bedding are not used. In the past few years, our Daqi has prospered a lot, but we still have to strive for simplicity and economy. Lu Xianggong's opinion, Wei Chen believes that it is very appropriate. His Majesty was quite subtle. It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor, who advocated frugality at the beginning, has now changed. ”
Xiao Yunhe's face was slightly gloomy, and he stared at Xue Cuncheng with some annoyance, but he didn't know what to say to refute. Although there was some anger in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but be stunned: Could it be that I have been on the throne for several years. In her later years, Zhenguan also became fond of extravagant pomp. Are you relapsing against the disease now?
All the ministers sweated for Xue Cuncheng. In the past two years, few people have been like this, in front of many people, and the emperor is not. First, because the emperor rarely makes mistakes, and secondly, because the emperor's majesty and prestige are growing, everyone tacitly does not want to directly touch the dragon and damage his face.
Seeing the embarrassing scene, Wu Yuanheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Doctor Xue is reasonable. The most important thing for the soldiers who went out on the expedition was food and clothing. However, this time it was the Emperor's Majesty who drove the expedition himself. It is also necessary to take into account the holy face of the Son of Heaven. If the army under the Son of Heaven also wears variegated uniforms, it will inevitably make the people laugh at Hu Bang and hurt the country. 陛xià. It is also the bitterness of Majesty. Doctor Xue knocked on the side to remind His Majesty, which was also a good intention. ”
The anger in Xiao Yunhe's heart suddenly subsided a lot, straightened his color, and said, "That's right, I know." Xue Cuncheng, I thank you for the reminder. Henceforth. I'll pay attention. However, the army led by me wore variegated uniforms into battle. It's always something that's not right. For the time being, you can use the winter clothes purchased by the private sector to make up the number. Wang Yi. You still have to do your best to get your clothes together and replace the variegated uniform. ”
Wang Yi gave up his hand to receive the order. Xue Cuncheng had nothing to say.
Xiao Yunhe sorted out his mood and said, "What is the situation with the manpower, soldiers and horses allocated by the Military Aircraft Department for me?"
Wu Yuanheng took a polite step back and motioned for Ma Sui to come out and speak. Ma Sui didn't shirk either, stood up and said, "Go back to your majesty." The Military Aircraft Department has been recruiting and deploying troops and horses for several days, and the decision is as follows, please listen to Your Majesty!"
"The army of the Western Expedition is personally commanded by His Majesty. The generals under the tent were: Chu Yan, the general of the Left Shenwuwei, Li Guangyan, the general of the Right Shenwuwei, and Hao, the governor of Jingzhou; Li Jifu, the squire of the Ministry of Works, served as the marching commander; and Han Chaozhong, a scholar of the Zhongshushe, served as the marching Sima. Xue Ping, the guard in front of the tent, led 10,000 flying dragons to escort the Chinese army. Weichen Ma Sui was in the rear governor of grain and grass, and responded to His Majesty. ”
"Yes, yes. Xiao Yunhe was very satisfied with this kind of personnel matching. Needless to say, Chu Yan, Li Guangyan, and Hao are all in their fighting years, and they are all the top generals in Daqi today. Li Jifu knows astronomy and geography well, and it is no longer appropriate to have him by his side as a consultant. Han and the DPRK followed the army, and it was also qualified and competent to be a copywriter. The young Xue Ping has never been reused, and this time let him listen to it in the account, so that it can be allocated at the right time to help him grow rapidly.
Ma Sui continued: "There are 100,000 Jiangnan troops, 40,000 Shen Ce Guards, and 10,000 flying dragon horsemen stationed outside the national capital, a total of 150,000 horses, and it has been completed on the hour. Just wait for the money and food to arrive, and the weather improves, and you can set off at any time. In the area west of the river, Chu Yan and Hao had a total of 50,000 troops under them, and a total of 200,000 troops gathered under His Majesty's command. In addition, the day of departure must be personally selected by His Majesty, and the marching arrangements of Chu Yan and Hao and other troops must also be personally arranged by His Majesty. ”
"I know. Xiao Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "I have to arrange the affairs of the court first, and then do these things." Chu Yan, in the next few days, you should go outside the city to have a look. Blend these military drills. Let's see if there's any problem, and report back to me when the time comes. ”
"Wechen obeyed. ”
"Okay, you guys go back first. Xiao Yunhe raised his hand lightly, and everyone withdrew.
The ministers withdrew from the imperial study of the Wude Palace, and a cloud of doubt rose in their hearts, and they always felt that the emperor seemed to have something to say today. After thinking about it carefully, I figured it out: that is, the emperor did not immediately explain that after he set out on the expedition, who will govern or assist the government in the court, and which prince will be in charge of the country!
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were shocked: it seems that it is about to involve a sensitive matter - the prince!
In Xiao Yunhe's heart, of course, he was also thinking about this question. The imperial conquest is imminent, and when the time comes, who will supervise the country and who will assist the government?
This is a sensitive and tricky question. He sat alone in the Wude Hall and meditated, and before he knew it, it was already night. The eunuch took the food and put it there, and it was almost freezing, and he didn't have the heart to take a bite.
At some point, Sophie quietly walked in with a basin of hot water. As usual, he did not call the emperor, but knelt beside him, and helped him lift his feet and take off his shoes.
Maybe Sophie was too quiet, or Xiao Yunhe had lost the slightest wariness of her, and it wasn't until his feet were in the hot water that Xiao Yunhe suddenly came back to his senses.
"Fei'er, are you here?" Xiao Yunhe had a smile on his face, "Did Concubine De let you come?"
"Concubine De slept with the king of Zhaoying County. Sophie replied quietly, "The maid will come to serve His Majesty." Your Majesty has a lot of heart on your mind today, so wash your feet. After washing, the mood will be comfortable, and there will be no depression and troubles. ”
"Good. The melancholy in Xiao Yunhe's heart suddenly decreased a lot, and he smiled indifferently, "If everyone in the world is like Fei'er, I don't have to think a lot." It is only when I am with you that I will not have any worries and melancholy in my heart. ”
Sophie gently rubbed Xiao Yunhe's feet and whispered, "That's because the maid doesn't want anything." As long as you can stay by Your Majesty's side and serve sincerely, it is enough. The maidservant stayed in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple for a few days, and heard from the senior monks there. Desire is the root of a qiē problem. ”
"Desire is the root of a qiē's troubles?" Xiao Yunhe repeated, and suddenly laughed, "It turns out that a qiē is so simple! Fei'er, I thank you so much!
Sophie raised her head, looked at Xiao Yunhe suspiciously with her big eyes, and asked, "The maid didn't do anything, she just washed her feet." ”
"Well washed, well washed!" Xiao Yunhe laughed and said, "I will give you a golden basin, and from now on, I will give you a bath in dragon feet!"
Every time Sophie washes Xiao Yunhe's feet, he can always sleep peacefully and sleep soundly.
But not today. Sophie had scarcely put on the hot tub when he put on his socks and put his feet in his shoes.
Sophie looked at the emperor suspiciously, and said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, didn't the maid serve you well today?"
"Nope. Very comfortable. Xiao Yunhe smiled, "I have an urgent matter, and I must go out now." By the way, when you go back, tell Concubine De that I will be in the Chengqing Hall tonight. ”
"Yes......" Sophie blushed and lowered her head.
Xiao Yunhe was slightly stunned, and then he was stunned, and couldn't help but laugh at himself: Sophie is still a girl who has not finished the cabinet, and she is not a eunuch who arranged my dormitory, why did I tell her this?
After thinking about it, there was nothing to say, so I simply got dressed and walked out of the study. After the emperor left, Sophie walked out of the study with a copper basin on her shoulder, and her face was hot and red.
Xiao Yunhe didn't bring any of the guards, he only called two little eunuchs who held the lanterns, and walked straight north after leaving the Wude Palace. It didn't take long for him to enter the Daming Palace.
"Where is the Emperor?" Xiao Yunhe asked the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace.
The eunuch in charge was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang is dining in the Immortal Residence Palace." A few days ago, His Majesty presented several Silla Miki to the Emperor Taishang, who was enjoying the singing and dancing of the Silla Maiko there. "I know, I don't need to tell anyone the news that I'm coming. Stand down. Xiao Yunhe pondered for a while, thinking that there was no need to disturb the old man's Yaxing at this time, so he wandered around the Daming Palace alone for a while.
About half an hour later, Xiao Yunhe asked someone again, only to learn that the old man had left the Immortal Palace. I returned to the Penglai Hall and prepared to go to bed. That's when I went to see him.
The old man seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, his face was full of red, he was fatter than before, he had a big belly, and his movements were a little sluggish. Since ascending the throne, Xiao Yunhe has rarely come to disturb the retired emperor. Therefore, the old man seemed to be a little frightened.
"Father, my son is here today to discuss something with you. Xiao Yunhe didn't want to delay his rest, so he got straight to the point.
"Hmm. You say. I'm listening. The old man couldn't hold back, but still yawned, obviously sleepy.
"That's right. Erchen prepared to lead the royal expedition in person, and attacked Tubo in the west to recover Helong. Xiao Yunhe said, "The day of the expedition is not far away. After the son left, he wanted to bother his father and the emperor to manage the country. ”
"Huh, what?" asked the old man, stunned and sleepless.
Xiao Yunhe's expression was still calm, and he said clearly: "The son wants to go on an expedition, and I want to invite my father to supervise the country." ”
"You're on the march. Am I in charge of the country?" the old man asked again, as if he still didn't believe his ears.
"Yes. Xiao Yunhe replied in the affirmative.
Countless thoughts flashed through the old man's mind, and his eyes became fluttering. Time. He didn't even know what to say.
Xiao Yunhe asked quietly, "What, my father is unwilling?"
"Uh? I didn't say I didn't want to, but ......" the old man looked at Xiao Yunhe suspiciously, "You really believe me?"
"Why don't I believe it?" Xiao Yunhe smiled indifferently and asked rhetorically. The old man was stunned for a moment, and stared straight at Xiao Yunhe for a long time. He nodded slowly. said: "Okay, I promise you. ”
"Thank you, Father. The result of the negotiation was expected, and Xiao Yunhe showed a smile. Said: "In that case. Father, please rest. The retainers retired. ”
"Well, there you go......" sent the emperor away. The old man sat there alone for a long time, thinking about it. His expression was uncertain, sometimes his eyes were shining, sometimes he shook his head and sighed. In the end, he stood up with a long sigh helplessly, and called loudly: "Su Ji, Cai Ji, come and go to bed!" Two beautiful young women jumped out quickly, holding the fat old man left and right, and entered the dormitory together with a smile.
In the evening, Xiao Yunhe was fortunate to ride the Chengqing Palace, and Wu Qiyun naturally received it happily.
Xiao Yunhe has always liked to talk to Wu Qiyun about some political affairs in the court and listen to her opinions. Today he asked the emperor to supervise the affairs of the country, and he sued her without exception.
Wu Qiyun frowned suspiciously at first, and then smiled: "Your Majesty is really wise!"
Xiao Yunhe laughed and said, "Tell me, where is my Yingming?"
"This, you don't have to say it too clearly, right?" Wu Qiyun smiled mysteriously and said, "It's just that the Emperor is in charge of the country, which is the most reasonable and safe." ”
Xiao Yunhe looked at Wu Qiyun with a meaningful smile on his face: "What if I have to listen to a reason?"
"Oops...... Your Majesty knows it, so don't force your concubines anymore!" Wu Qiyun took out his usual tricks.
Xiao Yunhe was angry and glared: "Speak!"
"Okay, just say it......" Wu Qiyun pursed his lips aggrievedly and said, "The concubine is also the mother of the second prince Li Huai, so she shouldn't have said such a thing." But now, the dispute between the prince has become an open secret in the court and the harem. His Majesty is away on this expedition, so which prince will supervise the state will naturally become the most eye-catching topic. However, no matter who is put in charge of the country, it seems that it is difficult to convince the public. Moreover, all the princes are still young and unable to deal with state affairs. Therefore, only the Emperor Taishang can maintain the stability of the court and the harem, and there will be no chaos. Although His Majesty did not expect the Emperor Taishang to play any role, the one who really handled the government was definitely the auxiliary prime minister designated by His Majesty. But with him on top, no prince or concubine will have an opinion!"
"It's really a little clever, haha!" Xiao Yunhe laughed, "As the mother concubine of the second prince, don't you want me to let Li Huai supervise the country?"
Wu Qiyun stood up suddenly, and said, "Your Majesty, although the concubine hopes that Li Huai can become a weapon, she will do what she can for the country in the future." But now, he is too young to take care of state affairs. Moreover, it would not do him any good to involve him in such a whirlpool of contention now. If His Majesty let Li Huai supervise the country. The concubines will also refuse. Now that the emperor is in charge of the country, the concubines are twelve points of approval, and there is nothing to say. ”
"Well, that's a good point. Xiao Yunhe nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and said, "I know that only by inviting the Emperor to supervise the country, all the ministers, concubines and princes will not have any opinions." It's hard to say how long it will take me to go out to acquire land. Less than a few months, more than the previous year. Fortunately, the area of the expedition is not too far. From Fengxiang to the national capital. Fast horses galloping can also come in the morning and evening, and I believe there will be no major problems. ”
Wu Qiyun smiled mysteriously and said softly: "So, His Majesty is relieved to let the Emperor Taishang supervise the country, right? Therefore, Your Majesty can sit back and fight abroad with peace of mind. ”
"You ghost girl, don't live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" Xiao Yunhe pretended to be angry and scolded, "I am open-minded. The Emperor Taishang is pure-hearted and has few desires, what can go wrong?"
"Yes, yes, your majesty has to teach you a lesson. The view of the concubine woman. After all, it's a lot shallow!" Wu Qiyun grinned and coped. I thought to myself: You, I'm afraid you are the most powerful person in the world. To say that the Emperor Taishang did not have any special thoughts after the prison of the country, it must be impossible. At the very least, he will want to take the former crown prince and virtuous king Li Yu back to the capital, right? However, you have been in power for a few years, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have worshiped you like a god. Who would listen to the Emperor? The ministers of the court will definitely not agree. The Emperor is just a puppet. There are a group of loyal and capable courtiers below, what else do you have to worry about? Even the emperor like Lu Zhen is die-hard. I'm afraid I won't listen to him now. The reason is simple. Because they are all willing to see peace and prosperity, not because of the old friendship. And it is bad for the program of monarchs and ministers, and the peace of society. What's more, in the past few years, the Emperor Taishang has already lived a good life with peace of mind, so how can he have other thoughts? If you don't grasp the thoughts of these people, how dare you take the lead in the imperial expedition and hand over the Great Qi to the Emperor?
Xiao Yunhe smiled, smiling a little proudly. Because he knew that Wu Qiyun, who had always been smart and clever, must have understood his deep meaning. Wu Qiyun has always known how to appreciate him the most. So, he was willing to show off his deeds in front of her. Although everything didn't have to be explained, from Wu Qiyun's eyes, he could read that kind of appreciation and appreciation, and this feeling made him very useful.
Wu Qiyun thought with tears and laughter in his heart: Men, it's all good. Reflect your strengths and strengths in front of your own woman. The emperor is also a man, nothing more than that.
Although neither of them said anything more, silence was better than sound, and there was a smile in their eyes. This kind of understanding and tacit understanding made Xiao Yunhe feel very comfortable.
Thousands of miles away, on the top of Yin Mountain.
Li Huaiguang unfolded a piece of notebook and read it for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud, and even couldn't help but beat his thigh a few times, really excited.
Duan Zuo, Song Liangchen, Gao Gu, Fang Ci and Xu Tao all came over and said suspiciously, "Dashuai, what happened?"
"See for yourself!" Li Huaiguang handed the notebook in his hand to everyone, and shouted loudly with full of anger, "Brothers, speed up your pace and strive to get through the Yin Mountain before dark! Countless cattle, sheep and wine are waiting for us in the Golden Tent of Wudeqian Mountain!"
The generals gathered together to read the book, and Song Liangchen was so anxious that he shouted: "Tell me quickly! Tell me quickly, what is going on?"
Fang Ci and Xu Tao were crowded in the innermost, and after reading it, they immediately cheered: "It's a success! Big brother has succeeded!"
"It's too godly!" Gao Gu, who has always been unsmiling, looked stunned, and said in a loud voice, "It's too godly!
Song Liangchen shouted anxiously: "God, you bird's egg, what happened, the stuffy jar?"
Duan Zuo's face showed ecstasy, and he said loudly: "Li Qianli crossed the snow field, crossed the Yin Mountain, and single-handedly subdued the Uighur 3,000 rebels. He then led this group to take down the Uighur Golden Horde and subdue the Uighur rebels! Not only that, but he also became a brother with the Uighur prince Yao Luo Ge Asi. Later, they led their troops to join forces with the army of the Uighur minister Jie Gangas, and defeated the main rebel force at the Selenga River. Now, the Uighur Golden Horde had returned to peace, and all the usurpers had been taken down and punished. Li Zhuan asked the marshal to do his best to drive the troops to Wude Qianshan and preside over the overall situation!"
"Haha!ha!" Song Liangchen laughed roughly, "This hairy boy is really powerful!
Everyone was amused and burst out laughing. Fang Ci and Xu Tao were even more excited. The two brothers are already discussing the fulfillment of their promise that day, and they will have a booze with Li in Udgandsan.
The Qi army sped up their footsteps and crossed the Yin Mountain. The heavy snow has stopped for several days, and although the snow has not completely melted and the ice has been resolved, the road is basically passable. Li Huaiguang was well aware of the weather here, so he personally led an army of 70,000 and began to advance northward, aiming directly at the Uighur Udgand.
At this time, the beef was roasted brown in the Uighur Golden Tent, and the felt carpet was soaked with wine. Pretty and wild Uighur girls are dancing in the Golden Horde.
A lively and festive scene of singing and dancing.
Li was treated as a guest of honor and sat side by side with the prince on the highest place. Not far from the two of them sat a large man with a thick beard and a pair of tiger eyes, who was the Uighur minister and the first military commander, Jiegangas.
Jiegan Garth stepped forward with a glass of goat's milk wine and said to Li and Ah Si in fluent Chinese: "Your Excellency, General Li. On behalf of the tens of thousands of Uighur soldiers, I would like to congratulate you two on tying the knot Kim Ranh!"
"You're welcome, thank you!" Ah Si and Li both stood up and laughed and drank with Jiegangas.
Jiegan Jiasha looked Li up and down with interest for a while, and said again and again: "Tiger general, tiger general! Born tiger general! He is worthy of being the son of ten thousand enemies!"
Li modestly bowed his hand: "The prime minister is too praised." The last general is just the courage of a horseman, and he is only afraid of insulting his father's reputation. ”
"Nope. It seems to me that sooner or later you will surpass your father. Jiegan Gasi laughed, then patted his leg, and said, "In a hurry to be in such a good mood today, the old man also has an important matter, and he wants to discuss it with General Li." ”
Li put down his wine glass, looked at Jiegangas and asked, "What do you have to teach you?"
"The old man has a righteous daughter, sixteen or seventeen years old, who is unusually beautiful and virtuous. It is not the same as ordinary Uighur women. Jiegan Gasi suddenly turned his head, glared at Li with his tiger eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I want to marry my daughter to General Li as his wife, I don't know what the general wants?"
"Huh?" Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't know what to say, and muttered, "This...... This ......"
Jiegangas laughed loudly: "Why, the general who looks down on thousands of armies on the battlefield will still be afraid of a woman?"
"No, you can't say that. Li smiled awkwardly, "I was still young at a young age, and I never thought about getting married." Again...... Now that I am burdened with a heavy burden, I should put national affairs first, and I should not think too much about the personal affairs of my children. ”
"There is some truth in what you say. You Central Plains people have always had many rules. Jiegan Gasi pondered for a moment, the smile on his face softened, nodded and said, "With the old man's decades of experience in knowing people, you are a good man. I had seven sons in my life, but I had no daughters. Two years ago, she accepted a righteous daughter, but she was even more affectionate than her own son. General Li, don't think that I'm trying to get close to you with a cheap daughter for some kind of benefit. I really want you and my daughter to be a couple, and they will be with each other for a lifetime At this moment, Li felt a sharp gaze that pierced through the noisy singing and dancing crowd and shot in his face. He instinctively glanced over his head, only to see that not far away, Princess Greentown was staring straight at him, her eyes not blinking. Li's face suddenly turned a little red, and he hurriedly said to Jiegangas: "Great kindness." I can really feel it below, but thank you very much. However, we might as well deal with the major affairs of the country first, and then talk about them later."
"Well, that's fine. Jiegangas's eyes changed slightly, he looked at Li with great appreciation, nodded and said, "Keep national affairs in mind, and become young and old...... Not bad. Very good. I wasn't wrong. General Lee, then we'll talk about it later. If it's convenient for you, the old man will let you see my daughter. I believe that when the time comes, you will be very satisfied. Haha!"
Jie Gangas smiled very roughly, and he was also very happy. After laughing for a while, he sat back in his seat with satisfaction, glancing at Li from time to time. That kind of look is a head-to-toe look. It's like looking at your own son-in-law. made Li Ru sit on pins and needles, which was very uncomfortable.
When he returned to his seat, the music of the song and dance became even louder. Ah Si breathed a sigh of relief. Leaned next to Li and whispered: "Brother, fortunately, you were improvised, and you didn't agree on the spot, nor did you refuse on the spot." Otherwise...... It's not going to end well!"
Li smiled slightly: "I know." Needless to say, drink bar. He himself had a string in his heart, and he thought about many things. At the moment, the situation in the Uighurs is more or less stable. But it's still very sensitive. The Great Minister of Greatness, Gangas, held the power of the Uighur army. It is a character who affects the overall situation. His attitude and thoughts will determine the fate of the Yao Luo Ge family, the fate of the Uighurs, and the fate of the Great Qi Beiting and Anxi. If Lee angered Jie Gan Gas in his own private affairs, it would be very unworthy. Although Lee himself had no interest in the righteous daughter of the Righteous Mass. There's even a little bit of antipathy to being coerced. From the bottom of my heart, I am very resistant. But now, he can only swallow his anger. Wait until Li Huaiguang's army comes. If he agrees to him too much, then Jiegan Garth will not mourn, thinking that the Tang people are easy to bully, and plant unfavorable seeds for the future. And...... Greentown's eyes are too strange. Although she and Li had spoken less than ten words, Li had a strange feeling, and he would unconsciously care about her feelings.
It's weird...... Li sighed in his heart, and involuntarily glanced at Greentown again. Just as the two looked at each other, Li immediately glanced to the side with a weak heart. Greentown's face is not too good, and it has always collapsed tightly.
After the feast was over, the drunken Gangas was so drunk that he was carried back to his tent by the sergeant to rest. Li also said goodbye to Ah Si and returned to the post house with Yang Feng and others.
After the Uighurs built the Golden Horde, they also built many houses in the style of the Great Qi. In particular, this kind of guest room arrangement for foreign guests is the same structure as the Honglu Temple in the Central Plains, but the scale is much smaller. The furnishings, springs and eating utensils are not much different from those in the Central Plains. Li and the others are still very used to living in the inn.
After nightfall, Li was so entangled that he couldn't sleep. I was about to go out for a walk when there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw that it was actually Greentown.
Greentown changed into a dark green pair of flowers, and the petals on his head were tied into thin strips and wrapped in fine silk silk, dressed as a pure Uighur girl. The corners of her mouth are slightly raised, which always gives people a provocative or even provocative taste. The black and bright pupils are always filled with endless thoughts.
