"Announcement of good news? That's all you have to offer!" Fan Lihua raised her pretty eyebrows slightly, pointed the embroidered knife in her hand toward the east, and said, "Yu Wenhuaji is right there. Why don't we send our troops to kill him and capture Yu Wenhua alive?"
And, rescue Yang You, let’s see who can compete with you for the first credit?”
Wen Hao frowned and said: "My lord only asked us to capture the two counties of Wuhan and Jincheng. If we attack without permission, I'm afraid..."
Fan Lihua said disapprovingly: "The general is out there, and your life is in danger! Only by capturing Yu Wenhuaji can we know how the emperor died. As long as we capture Longxi and capture Yu Wenhuaji alive, Liu Ziqiu won't be able to say anything!"
Wen Hao suddenly felt unhappy and said, "You are still thinking about that foolish king."
"Be careful, the emperor and I are innocent." Fan Lihua gave Wen Hao a blank look, but she felt happy in her heart. This showed that her position in Wen Hao's heart was very important. But soon, Fan Lihua's face became serious again and said, "
However, the Queen is very kind to our sisters. When I heard that she also suffered a disaster, I secretly cried several times. I am willing to help you just because I want to find out how the Queen died. If there is a chance, I would like to
Let’s worship her properly.”
"I don't care about the queen, I just don't allow you to mention that foolish king again." Of course Wen Hao knew that nothing happened between Fan Lihua and Yang Guang, because the gorgeous peach blossom on the bed sheet on the wedding night was enough to explain the problem, but he just thought of Fan Lihua and Yang Guang.
Yang Guang felt a little unhappy after Lihua stayed with him for so long.
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you. I'll never mention him again." Fan Lihua said with a "gege" smile, "Do you agree to send troops?"
Wen Hao gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you are not doing it for that stupid king, we will send troops!"
When it came to business, Fan Lihua's face became solemn and said: "Sir, we are making rapid progress along the way. We probably haven't received any news from Longxi yet. Everyone is busy with the autumn harvest now. We can disguise ourselves as an army delivering food and sneak in."
Go to Xiangwucheng. Husband, what do you think of this idea?"
In terms of martial arts and military skills, Fan Lihua is superior to Wen Hao, but she is smart. She only makes suggestions every time, but leaves the decision-making power to Wen Hao. The more this happens, the more Wen Hao respects and loves her.
She adopted her opinion on almost everything, and this time was no exception. Jincheng Pass had already accumulated a large amount of grain and grass, so Wen Hao left 500 men to guard the pass and selected two from the surrendered soldiers of Fuhan and Jincheng counties.
Thousands of people acted as civilians transporting grain and grass, and escorted by three thousand cavalry, they marched toward Xiangwu City in a mighty manner.
Xiangwu is the county seat in Longxi, and it is also the capital temporarily selected by Yu Wenhuaji for Yang You. However, due to the fierce competition between the two counties of Beidi and Fufeng, most of Yu Wenhuaji's troops were transferred to the eastern front line.
There are not many soldiers and horses in Longxi County, and most of them are concentrated in Xiangwu City. But along the way, there are still patrolling troops passing by from time to time. Some of these troops are under Yu Wenhuaji, and some are from the Li family in Longxi.
Private army.
The Li family in Longxi is as famous as the Cui family in Boling, the Cui family in Qinghe, the Lu family in Fanyang, the Li family in Zhaojun, the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the Wang family in Taiyuan. It is known as the Seven Sects and Five Surnames in history. These large families control all aspects of social life.
The power is not inferior to that of the government, and many officials are from these seven aristocratic families. An important purpose of Yang Guang's implementation of the imperial examination system is to reduce the influence of these aristocratic families on the government. But if he really wants to achieve his goal, how can he
An easy thing? As a compromise and as a need to stabilize the government, Yang Guang also authorized these seven aristocratic families to have a small number of private soldiers.
Because the war in the east became increasingly tense and it was the autumn harvest season, the Li family in Longxi was worried about threatening themselves, so they asked Yu Wenhuaji to send more patrol teams to prevent thieves from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. However, Yu Wenhuaji's troops were already stretched thin, and the Li family was also
He had to send his own private soldiers into action.
However, Wen Hao and Fan Lihua were well prepared. The soldiers were all wearing military uniforms captured from Panhan and Jincheng counties, and the soldiers serving as civilian husbands were also full of local accents. Many of these standing army soldiers were foreigners, but most of them
There were originally many soldiers from the Turks, Xianbei and other ethnic groups in the Sui army, which was not unusual.
The grain transport team marched all the way eastward without encountering any obstacles. When passing Weiyuan County, the county magistrate Li Jian even personally led people to lead sheep and carry wine to reward the three armies. Wenhao and his wife were anxious to enter Xiangwu City as soon as possible, but others gave them gifts.
When he arrived at the door, he could not turn a blind eye, so he ordered the three armies to set up camp and welcome Li Jian into the tent.
"I didn't expect that the imperial court would have such a powerful army!" Li Jian was slightly surprised when he saw the unusually powerful army.
Since there were such powerful soldiers, but they were not sent to the front line but used to escort grain and grass, Li Jian was full of doubts. However, he was quite wealthy and refused to ask casually.
Wen Hao didn't know what Li Jian meant, so he laughed and said perfunctorily: "The Sui Dynasty was at its peak, and there were powerful soldiers everywhere. It's not surprising."
Li Jian had many contacts with Yu Wenhua and his men, but did not know Wen Hao. He hesitated and said: "May I ask where the general was originally stationed?"
Fan Lihua vaguely sensed Li Jian's suspicion and said first, "My General Wen has just been transferred from Xiping to defend Jincheng. We are all former troops under General Wen."
"No wonder, no wonder." Li Jian changed the subject and suddenly asked, "I wonder if General Wen is just transporting grain and grass this time, or is he going to fight to kill the enemy?"
Wen Hao was about to answer when he saw Fan Lihua winking and quickly laughed and said: "This will have to be assigned by Lord Yuwen when the time comes."
Li Jian was overjoyed and said: "I wonder if the general is willing to lead his troops to stay in Longxi. If the general is willing, I can speak in front of Lord Yuwen."
Because Fan Lihua and Xue Yeer were both women, and they had always been with Yang Guang, Yang Guang was not worried that they would collude with foreign ministers, and did not avoid the two of them when discussing government affairs with Empress Xiao.
She also had some knowledge of the situation of the major aristocratic families and knew that the Li family in Longxi was very powerful. When Li Jian offered to help Cang and the others stay in Longxi, Fan Lihua became wary secretly, waved her hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kindness. I'll wait for you to see everything."
Lord Yuwen, let’s talk about it later.”
Yu Wenhuaji supported Yang Guang's grandson, while Yang Xuangan supported only Yang Guang's nephew. The most important thing is that Yang Xuangan was also charged with regicide. No matter from any aspect, Yang Xuangan should be punished.
As a result, with Li Yuan of Luoyang in the east to contain him, Yang Xuangan not only firmly occupied Chang'an, but also repeatedly broke through Yuhuahua and the defense lines deployed in Fufeng and Beidi. This allowed the Li family to
Very disappointed.
When Yu Wenhuaji withdrew to Longxi to support Yang You, Mr. Li made a mistake in his judgment. He believed that this was a great opportunity for the Li family in Longxi to intervene in the government affairs, so he gave Yu Wenhuaji the maximum help, from money and food to manpower, and even Yang You's palace.
They are all provided by the Li family. The Li family in Longxi has been tied to Yu Wenhuaji. Once Yu Wenhuaji is defeated, the Li family will most likely suffer cruel revenge from Yang Xuangan. Although it is the leading family among the seven sects and five surnames, the Li family
, but it is absolutely impossible for them to confront a political power. For the sake of the future of the Li family, Mr. Li has begun to seek a way out.
During this period, the Li family's children were all trying to win over Yu Wenhua and his generals. When the Li family's influence penetrated to a certain extent in the army, if the war on the front line went unfavorably, the Li family would not rule out launching a coup and switching to Yang Xuangan to atone for their previous sins.
possibility.
As a direct descendant of the Li family, Li Jian naturally accepted the task of wooing various generals. As a small county magistrate, he had extremely limited conditions to attract those brave generals. He had just claimed that he could win over the generals in the universe
What Wen Wenji said in front of him was purely bragging. When Wen Hao's troops passed through Longxi, Li Jian felt that his opportunity had come. Wen Hao's army was strong and strong, and he was not a direct subordinate of Yu Wenhao. If he could win over him,
It is nothing less than a great help to the Li family.
After being a county magistrate for several years, Li Jian still had the ability to observe people's emotions. He could see that although Wen Hao was the commander of this army, the real decision maker was probably this handsome little general with red lips and white teeth. When Fan Lihua heard that
After politely rejecting his proposal, Li Jian couldn't help but become anxious and said: "It's already late today. An old gentleman wants to pay a visit to the two generals tomorrow. Could you please ask the two generals to stay in Weiyuan for a night?"
Wen Hao waved his hand and said impatiently: "We are still in a hurry to deliver the grain and grass, and we can't wait to fly into Xiangwu City. It doesn't matter if it's dark, Wen is planning to travel all night. Mr. Li, please go back, and wait until Wen has delivered the grain and grass
, come and visit again.”
Yu Wenhuaji and Yang You are both in Xiangwu City. The defense of Xiangwu City is naturally much tighter than that of the two counties of Fuhan and Jincheng. They certainly cannot adopt a forceful attack strategy. The way Wen Hao and Fan Lihua discussed was to take advantage of the night to attack
The grain and grass were transported to the outside of Xiangwu City, waiting for an opportunity to trick the city gate into opening. Although the soldiers transporting grain were pretending, the hundreds of carts were loaded with genuine grain and grass. Even if the soldiers guarding the city were suspicious, they immediately
It was difficult to find flaws. Therefore, Wen Hao did not want to cause trouble and stayed in Weiyuan County for more time.
"No!" Fan Lihua rarely vetoed Wen Hao's decision in front of outsiders and said, "Just follow Mr. Li, let's camp here for one night and go back tomorrow."
Li Jian was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "The two generals will stay here for a moment. Li will definitely visit us again tomorrow morning."
After speaking, Li Jian left the camp and hurriedly mounted his horse. Instead of returning to Weiyuan County, he rode straight to Longxi County, east of Xiangwu City. Longxi County was named after Longxi County. Although the county seat was located in Xiangwu
, but the real center is in Longxi County, because that is the headquarters of the Li family in Longxi. The head of the Li family, Mr. Li, lives in Lijiazhuang in the western suburbs of Longxi County. Li Jian wants to rush to Lijiazhuang overnight and invite Mr. Li to persuade him.
Wen Hao and Fan Lihua. For the future of the Li family, he believed that with the wisdom and courage of Mr. Li, he would definitely be able to debase himself and visit the two juniors in person.
