The teapot was steaming on the small clay stove, and Jiang He'er squatted beside it, fanning the cattail leaf in his hand from time to time.
Li Xuan is reading a letter.
My uncle has arrived in Taoxian County and says he is very happy. He likes to visit his two children every day.
Zhou Ning also mentioned some situations in the western part of Northern Liao. Although Changling was not mentioned, the hints were in place.
This mother-in-law!
Li Xuan ordered: "Let Helian Yan come."
"yes."
Jiang Heer got up and went outside.
The water in the teapot boiled and rushed out. Li Xuan stood up and picked it up, making himself a cup of tea.
Helianyan is here.
"Your Highness."
"Is there any news from Changling?"
Somehow, Li Xuan missed Changling and his children very much at this moment.
"After the eldest princess arrived in the west, she settled down with peace of mind."
"Is there any trouble around here?"
"There were some thieves, but they were wiped out."
"That's good."
Li Xuan was a little dissatisfied, "That woman, didn't you know you were sending a letter?"
He Lianyan smiled and said, "Yes!"
"Oh!" Li Xuan asked: "Where is it?"
"Businessmen over there have been communicating with us from time to time, and occasionally mentioned the eldest princess and the child."
This is clearly Changling's order.
Li Xuan was busy conquering the world, and no one mentioned such things.
That woman!
Still so young.
"Jinyiwei..." Li Xuansi thought for a while, "I'd better take a closer look over there."
Li Xuan didn't say staring, so the sense of proportion here is naturally different.
"Yes." He Lianyan knew that he wanted to find an opportunity to contact Changling.
"Sit." Li Xuan pointed to the opposite side.
He Lianyan sat down and Jiang Heer brought him a cup of tea, "Look, how good I am to you."
He Lianyan glanced at her waist, Jiang Heer subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect her and glared at her.
hehe!
He Lianyan chuckled.
"Your Highness."
Jielong is here.
"What's the matter?"
Jielong glanced at Helianyan and said, "Jianzhou mobilized more than 10,000 troops to Yuezhou."
Hey!
Li Xuan was startled, "What does this mean? Be careful of being blocked by our army?"
He Lianyan said: "Yuezhou is now weak. After the last defeat, there has been no reinforcement of troops."
Li Xuan said about this that for the Northern Xinjiang Army at this moment, attacking Yuezhou is not the first choice.
On the contrary, it is a burden.
"What does Shi Zhongtang mean by this?" Li Xuan squinted, "If we capture Jianzhou..."
After the Northern Xinjiang Army captured Daozhou, Shi Zhongtang had to leave the border. If they captured Jianzhou again, the rebels who left the border would encounter an iron wall.
This situation is great!
"Your Highness!"
Pei Jian and others arrived.
"Jianzhou is empty. If we attack at this moment, I have 90% confidence!" Jiang Cunzhong asked for a tassel.
"I am willing to lead the army to attack Jianzhou."
"Your Highness, we should take Jianzhou before the rebels leave."
Li Xuan pressed his hands and all the sounds disappeared.
A faint sense of accomplishment made Li Xuan feel a little elated.
This is one of the enjoyments of the superior.
Noble!
"You should think twice about this matter!"
"yes."
Everyone resigned.
He Lianyan and Jiang He'er were the only ones left in the lobby. Wang Laoer walked to the door and turned around, "Your Highness... Wuwuwu!"
The old thief covered his mouth and dragged him away.
"Old thief, have you washed your hands?" Wang Laoer sighed a few times.
"Your Highness said you should think twice. You didn't see that Lian He, Lian Rong and Han Ji, two old foxes, didn't say a word, but you talk too much!"
"Why can't you say it?" Wang Laoer was unconvinced.
"We must maintain the dignity of His Highness."
"His Highness has already said that he doesn't care about majesty."
"That's just talk."
…
"They seem to be more and more afraid of being alone now." Li Xuan also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
"Your Highness is majestic." He Lianyan said.
"I don't like the majesty. To be honest, I miss my days in Taiping and Chenzhou. At that time, I and the old thief Lao Er were as close as one family. Now..."
Jiang Heer said: "Whatever you gain, you will inevitably lose something."
"This is so reasonable." Li Xuan was stunned.
"I'm not stupid to begin with!" Jiang He'er said proudly.
He Lianyan covered her mouth and snickered, "He'er, His Highness said this last month."
"Ah! No wonder I can blurt it out."
Li Xuan smiled and thought it would be nice to have such a pistachio beside him.
He sat there on his knees, with his back straight, and suddenly said quietly: "It's hard to live alone."
He Lianyan pointed at Jiang He'er, Jiang He'er stared, and He Lianyan pointed at his shoulder.
Jiang He'er stood up and walked behind Li Xuan, knelt down and stretched out her hands to rub his shoulders.
Comfortable!
Li Xuan squinted his eyes. He Lianyan had a lot of information in his hand. He took a look at it and said, "Someone wants to marry Mr. Huang."
"Aning knows what's appropriate." Li Xuan's eyes were slightly cold.
Sure enough, His Highness was particularly concerned about his relatives... Thinking that the Zhang family was seeking important positions in the Northern Xinjiang system, Helian Yan held a moment of silence for them.
These families were accustomed to marrying each other to stay together, but they didn't know how much King Qin valued his relatives.
This time, it was self-defeating.
She glanced down and then raised her head and said: "There is news that King Wei was canonized as the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom and stayed in Guanzhong."
"What?"
The majesty of King Qin was gone.
"After the fall of Jiagu Pass, before escaping, the pseudo-emperor granted the title of Crown Prince to King Wei and kept him in the pass... saying that he was crusading against rebellion!"
"Shameless!" Jiang Heer slapped Li Xuan on the shoulder.
"Your Highness, where is King Wei..." The friendship between King Wei and Li Xuan can be entrusted to his wife and children!
"Li Bi is blaming the blame!" Li Xuan said calmly: "King Wei is a good man."
have to!
King Wei escaped.
Jiang He'er couldn't help but smile. Li Xuan sensed it and asked, "Is He'er happy?"
"Yes!" Jiang He'er said: "King Wei may seem indifferent, but in fact he is the most straightforward."
"Do you like straightforward people?"
"I don't like it, but I don't hate it."
Crane!
Can't you praise His Highness more?
Helianyan smiled bitterly.
The person closest to Li Xuan in the world is Jiang He'er, and many people are jealous of her status.
At first, the powerful men in Northern Xinjiang looked down upon Li Xuan, as did most of the noble ladies. After the Northern Liao Dynasty was destroyed, the trend suddenly changed, and many families sent people to test him in a roundabout way, hoping that their daughters would serve Li Xuan.
The so-called service is just an excuse, the purpose is to express submission through the daughter. By the way, if the daughter can give birth to a son and a half, her status will be different.
Not to mention being second to Yang Songcheng, at any rate, being an important minister is enough!
But in the face of such temptations, Li Xuan ignored them.
Those noble ladies tore and tore many handkerchiefs and stamped on their embroidered shoes in their boudoir. Finally, they discovered that Jiang He'er had the best chance in the entire northern Xinjiang.
Even Ye Niang's status in the village, which was accompanied by Jiang He'er, was much higher, and the majesty of the village leader never dared to be used against his family.
Rubbing Li Xuan's shoulders, Jiang He'er hummed a tune, feeling very relaxed.
He Lianyan said: "Your Highness, over there in Yuezhou, they say that the city gate is closed and no one is allowed to come out."
"With a war imminent, caution is always the right thing to do."
Jiang He'er asked: "Your Highness, are we confident in this battle?"
"How should I put it?" Li Xuan thought for a while, "If it is the rebels in Guanzhong, our northern Xinjiang army will not be afraid. But the rebels in the south are gathering, and they are estimated to have an army of 30,000."
An army of 30,000 was a force that should not be underestimated at this time.
During the war, if those 30,000 troops suddenly appeared...how could the battle be fought?
"Our army is going deep alone, and it is difficult to quickly mobilize troops from northern Xinjiang to support us." Li Xuan said: "The 30,000-strong army is on the side, like a awn on the back. We must divide our troops to keep an eye on them. In this way, the army will be weakened.
.”
"Then our confidence will be smaller." Jiang He'er was a little unhappy.
"There is never a fight that is absolutely certain." Li Xuan said with a smile: "This battle is hard to predict!"
The battle was not far away, and he had been thinking about how to fight, and his mind was a little confused at the moment.
He Lianyan had been with him for a long time, and after knowing his current situation, he let Jiang He'er massage and relax him.
The horse kills the chicken, it’s so cool!
Jiang Heer was humming again.
Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "He'er sings a song."
Jiang He'er was startled, "I can't sing well!"
"Sing!"
Li Xuan felt that he was too tight and needed to relax.
Jiang He'er thought for a while, then rubbed Li Xuan's shoulders and sang happily.
"Wushan is green, the mountains are green, the green mountains on both sides of the Taiwan Strait greet each other, is there a feeling of separation in the struggle for tolerance?"
Li Xuan seemed to see a couple of lovers about to separate, with the boatman urging them, but the lover was reluctant to leave, holding hands and looking into each other's eyes with tears.
"The king is full of tears, and the concubine is full of tears. The marriage between Luo and Dai has not yet been completed, and the tide on the riverside has subsided."
Men cry and women cry, but they will eventually be separated.
After Jiang Heer finished singing, he asked: "How?"
Li Xuan sighed: "Those who are in ecstasy can only say goodbye!"
"Ah!" Jiang He'er said happily: "This is a very good thing to say, even better than what I can sing."
Helianyan smiled, "Your Highness's poems are unparalleled."
Silly woman, you must know how to praise His Highness!
If you don't praise a man, how can he be moved?
"Commander." Jielong came, "Someone wants to see you."
He Lianyan stood up and left, giving Jiang He'er a wink before leaving.
Serve the Duke well.
"Can you dance?" Li Xuan asked.
"Yes!"
Jiang Heer stood up and walked to the front and started dancing.
Li Xuan watched and thought about Yang Lue.
"Yang Lue, it's time to come back!"
…
"drive!"
Three thousand horses are galloping in the wilderness.
They were wearing Tang Dynasty armor and looked like the Southern Xinjiang Army.
The sky is dark and there is occasional thunder.
The leading general looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to rain. Find a place to take shelter!"
"General, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time!"
The person who spoke was Huo Cong.
When the general turned around, it turned out to be Yang Lue.
"We have just passed Songzhou. There are many rebels in Hongzhou, so we can't leave. We can only detour to Qianzhou." Yang Lue reined in his horse and said, "We have enough time!"
Three thousand horses, this is what he has accumulated over the years.
These three thousand horses were all brought from Southern Xinjiang to the Southern Zhou Dynasty little by little. After many years of training, they have become a family.
At this moment, three thousand riders were looking at him.
"Rest!"
Yang Lue dismounted.
He looked into the distance, "I don't know where the thunder mark is."
He Cong said: "He wants to be a scout, but he doesn't."
"He was thinking about meeting His Highness soon, and he was so happy and impatient." Yang Lue said Lei Biao, and there was a look of hope in his own eyes.
His little husband!
I don't know what happened.
Several horses came galloping.
The leader is Lei Biao.
"General!"
"how?"
"Your Highness defeated Ashina Yanrong, then defeated Shi Gongming, and surrendered to Daizhou. Now Shi Zhongtang's army is preparing to leave. In addition, the rebels in front have gathered 30,000 troops."
"Daizhou...if Shi Gongming can attack Lizhou, the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army will definitely be unstable. Your Highness took the lead in defeating Shi Gongming and stabilized the morale of the army. Next, there will be a war."
Yang Lue said softly: "Shi Zhongtang was full of confidence when he wanted to come, but he didn't expect that I was here."
He put his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance, "I'm back!"
