Six days later, Tingzhou was besieged.

The general stationed in Tingzhou is Cheng Su, although Cheng Su is a veteran with rich combat experience, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The Tingzhou garrison was only 20,000, while the Western Turks gathered 50,000 soldiers this time. If you go into battle to fight Daye, you will naturally fall down, and you can only defend the city and close the four gates.

However, the Turkic cavalry was fierce, Tingzhou was lost four days later, Tingzhou garrison general Cheng Su was killed, and Changshi Wang Zhi was killed.

Three days later, Daye's 100,000 reinforcements entered the city, arrived at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and fought with the Turkic cavalry.

The general manager of the march to the western frontier was the famous general Pei Rentai, who had superb archery skills, killed three Western Turkic warriors, and took the opportunity to lead the army to attack, killing the Western Turks and defeating them in the Tianshan Mountains, so they had to retreat to the Shiluo Mountains.

Pei Rentai dispatched a group of elite soldiers to pursue the victory, but the Western Turkic army could not withdraw in time, and was beaten to the point that he was beaten and suffered setbacks again and again.

In August, a Lubu fast horse came to Yongcheng, the Son of Heaven was overjoyed, and there was a sound of admiration from the government and the opposition.

……

Yongcheng, Wenyi Mansion.

Cui Chenyu returned home to the sound of twilight drums, and as soon as he walked into the backyard, he asked, "Where is the lady?" ”

Ah Xi walked out of the upper room and replied, "Ah Lang, the lady is still asleep in the house and hasn't woken up." ”

Cui Chenyu was surprised when he heard this, "When will you sleep?" ”

Ah Xi said: "In the afternoon." ”

Slept for so long? Cui Chenyu couldn't help frowning, and deliberately went to the house to take a look at Qingran, seeing that she slept so sweetly, she didn't mean to wake up for half a minute, Cui Chenyu stood by the bed and watched for a while, and saw that she was greedy and cold, and didn't cover the quilt, so she covered her before going out.

He asked Ah Xi, "Is there any discomfort in the lady's body today?" ”

Ah Xi shook her head, and told Cui Chenyu what the lady had eaten today, "Don't worry, it's nothing, the lady just has a bad appetite, doesn't want to eat, and is sleepy." ”

Cui Chenyu nodded, and in order to be safe, he instructed: "The lady's body is important, tomorrow you will go to Doctor Liu, ask him to live in the house, and ask the lady to take a pulse every other day, and the lady needs to ask Doctor Liu for every drink and food." ”

Ah Zhen nodded in response, "Yes." ”

For Cui Chenyu's cautious and thoughtful reaction, Ah Xi was not surprised at all, this is all good. Since the beating lady was diagnosed as pregnant, Ah Lang is even more nervous than the lady, and refuses to do anything, but whenever the lady wants to do something, Ah Lang must be by his side to watch, in the first three months, Ah Lang also deliberately moved the office back to his home, with the lady, that is, from this month, it began to return to normal.

Cui Chenyu didn't know if it would affect him if he slept for a long time, but thinking that it was time for dinner, he decided to call Qingran to get up.

The lights inside and outside the upper room have been lit, and she faintly heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of someone deliberately lowering her voice, she was half-open in a daze, and when the door curtain was raised, the wind outside came in and blew the candles, and the firelight swayed, like a warm fog...

Qingran's brain is gradually sobering up, and it is already the time to hold the lamp? Did she sleep for so long?

With a familiar voice in her ears and a smile, Cui Chenyu looked at her, "Finally willing to wake up?" ”

Qingran blinked at him, and the loneliness of that moment just now instantly dissipated, as if he had been pulled back to reality. She stretched out her hand to the person, sleepy-eyed, "You pick me up." ”

Cui Chenyu did as she was told, took her into his arms, and stroked her back, "I've slept for so long, are you dizzy?" ”

Qingran closed his eyes and shook his head.

Cui Chenyu looked at her and laughed, "Still sleeping?" I see that if you don't wake up again, your saliva will flow into a river, and then we won't have a place to sleep at night. ”

Qingran opened his eyes suddenly, touched the corners of his mouth, where is the saliva? When she saw someone's playful eyes, she couldn't help but be slightly annoyed, twisted a few times, and wanted to break away from the man's embrace, "Hmph, then you can sleep in the study." ”

Cui Chenyu still laughed, and he hugged the person back, "Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you, look at your annoyance, I won't dare to pluck the hair on the tiger's head in the future." ”

Qingran was even more dissatisfied when he heard this, and suddenly came to his senses, "Who do you say is the tigress?" Now you think I'm not virtuous? ”

Cui Chenyu saw that she was alive, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Very virtuous!" The virtuous lady may have gotten up to dine with her husband? ”

Qingran remembered that he should be waiting for him to eat together, but she still didn't have much appetite today. But she didn't want Cui Chenyu to worry too much, so she nodded and prepared to get up.

Cui Chenyu arranged Qingran's clothes and hair, and Qingran saw that he was smiling, not at all like the worried look before, so he asked: "You are very interested today, but what is the good thing?" ”

Cui Chenyu nodded and smiled: "I really made you guess right." ”

She was very clever, and she reacted immediately, and hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "Is there good news over there in Western Xinjiang?" ”

"Yes." Cui Chenyu was afraid that she would be too excited, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't be excited first, listen to me slowly." ”

Qing Ranna still had the heart to listen to him speak slowly, and hurriedly urged him, "Okay, don't sell it soon." ”

God knows how worried the couple were.

At that time, as soon as the news of Tingzhou's loss came back, Qingran and Cui Chenyu were both worried and couldn't sleep, and the two of them seemed to be tossing and turning on the bed with pancakes. Cui Chenyu planned to hide it from Qingrong at first, but the matter of the imperial court sending troops to Xizhou couldn't be hidden, not long after the troops were dispatched, Qingran asked every day when the army would arrive, rather than this, it was better to tell her.

"Don't worry, Xizhou is fine. It's just that civil strife broke out in Qiuci, but this time the rebellion was not as serious as expected, and before the arrival of the army, the rebellion in Qiuci City had been quelled by Judu Hu and Changxuan. ”

Qingran was surprised: "Isn't King Qiuzi on the way to pay tribute?" ”

Cui Chenyu nodded, "King Qiuzi entered the court to pay tribute, and the people have arrived in Qizhou, but suddenly heard that there was a change in the country, and his general Zanxian took advantage of the emptiness in the country to raise troops to make trouble, and wanted to secretly collude with Ashina Hezhi. Fortunately, Judu protected the country wholeheartedly, and asked Xizhou for help in time when he learned of the internal situation, which quelled the rebellion in the city and did not cause a catastrophe. ”

Qingran nodded, "It seems that Ju Duhu is also a loyal minister, you said before that the sage was 'letting the tiger return to the mountain', but now it seems that you are too worried." ”

Cui Chenyu was not annoyed, glanced in the direction of Xijiang, and said with a slight smile: "I hope I am too worried, but now I can only say that the Ju family in Xijiang has scruples, and it is naturally difficult to say whether they are loyal or not." ”

Qingran didn't know much about the situation in Western Xinjiang, so she asked, "Can the army win?" ”

"Naturally. General Pei used his troops like a god, and after the Turkic army was forced to Shiluo Ridge, the thief's heart did not die, and he gathered another 60,000 troops, made a comeback, and captured Qiuzi again. General Pei personally led 10,000 elite soldiers to open the formation, arranged in an orderly manner, repelled the enemy three times, and then sent elite cavalry to attack the enemy's two flanks. Changxuan rushed to the aid of the army, killed the enemy commander, the Turkic army was immediately defeated, and the Ye army pursued for more than dozens of miles, killing more than 10,000 enemies. ”

Qingran couldn't hide her joy after hearing this, "Brother-in-law has made a great contribution this time." ”

Cui Chenyu also smiled: "Yes, Changxuan can be said to be a great show of his talents, and in time, he will become a generation of famous generals." ”

"Then this time he has assisted meritoriously, will the saint transfer his brother-in-law back to the capital?"

Cui Chenyu said: "It's hard to say, if the sage has the intention of reuse, he will naturally summon Changxuan back to the court, but now the situation in Western Xinjiang is turbulent, Changxuan has gone to Western Xinjiang several times, and he has garrisoned troops here, he is familiar with the terrain, and now he has established such a prestige on the border, and I don't know if the sage is willing to let him come back." ”

Qingran also knows this truth, but it is inevitable that she will not be able to reunite with her family for a long time, and Sister Ah is hopeless to return again.

Cui Chenyu was delicate, and immediately noticed Qingran's low mood, and comforted: "It's still early, you don't have to be discouraged, there are many famous generals in Daye, and the saint may have other arrangements, but no matter what, now Sister Ah and they will definitely be safe in Western Xinjiang." ”

Qingran nodded and sighed lightly, "That's what you said." ”

Cui Chenyu was embarrassed, "Okay, don't be sad, I originally wanted to tell you the good news and make you happy, but who knew that it backfired, I didn't dare to tell you again next time, and I made you sad again." ”

How can this work, Qingran said busily, "Whoever said it, you are nonsense." If you don't tell me, I'll go out and ask for it myself, and I'll always get some news. ”

Cui Chenyu was helpless and funny, "You are capable, I am not at home now, I can't control you, I see that I have to invite reinforcements." ”

"What reinforcements?"

Cui Chenyu sat down, sat with the person in his arms, and explained softly: "I should have told you a long time ago, but I forgot about it a few days ago." Now that you have passed the first trimester, the fetus is more stable, but I can't continue to accompany you like before, and I am always worried. Now it's inconvenient for you to go to a lively place, and sometimes it's tasteless to be at home alone, so I want to invite my mother-in-law to come and live in our house, and you don't have to go back to your family. What do you think? ”

Qing Ran's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but say, "Really? ”

Seeing that she was happy, Cui Chenyu also smiled, "What are you doing?" Naturally, it's true, I've already asked my father-in-law and mother-in-law, asking them if they would like to, and my mother-in-law agreed, and it is estimated that she will come in two days. ”

Qing Ran looked at his warm eyes, and his heart moved slightly for a while. It turned out that he remembered that now that Cui Chenyu has been promoted to Wan'an County Commander, it is naturally easier than when he was a living man before, and he does not have to enter the palace every day. It's just that even though it's in the capital, it's indispensable to go out to run errands.

That time, he was busy outside for a few days before he came back, in fact, Qingran also knew that he was busy with business, and he had been with her at home for many days, and if he continued like this, he would inevitably delay government affairs. It's just that she is a little sensitive when she is pregnant, so she can't help but complain, and she stays at home all day long, and no one talks to her. As he spoke, he couldn't help crying, which frightened Cui Chenyu, hugged people and comforted him, and said a lot of words until midnight.

Thinking of his intentions, Qingran couldn't help but reddened her eyes, Cui Chenyu stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "Why do you love to cry so much now?" You are all going to be a mother, and you are not afraid that children will laugh at you in the future. ”

She was moved, he was good, and he had the heart to joke with her, "Who cried, I was blown by the wind." ”

Cui Chenyu smiled, "It's really weird, the doors and windows of our house are all in good condition, and there is still a leak of wind, I can find a day to ask someone to repair it, don't let the wind blow my wife out of nowhere." ”

Qingran couldn't help but lie on his shoulder and laugh, "You will coax me." ”

"Why did I coax you? Aren't you the treasure of our family today? Very delicate. ”

Qingran couldn't help but be proud, oh, and pretended to be a gesture, "It turns out that it is only now, it was not in the past, and it will not be in the future?" ”

Qingran knew that he was a little "messing around", but Cui Chenyu was also willing to coax her, he said, "Blame me." ”

Qingrong smiled knowingly, "What? ”

"I wouldn't have said it if I had known."

As soon as he finished saying this, he provoked a punch from Qingran. Cui Chenyu didn't get annoyed and smiled, "I see that you are really asleep, then I will rest assured." ”

Qingran snorted, "Won't I take care of myself?" Don't worry about this and worry about that. ”

Cui Chenyu smiled: "Okay, I know you are measured, but I just tell you a few more words." Sister They must be looking forward to you in Xizhou, you take care of yourself, give birth to the child safely, and wait for Sister and them to come back for reunion, right? ”
