Chapter 209: Fame (16)
In February of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, the weather in the north was still very cold and the wind was very hard.
A group of more than ten people rode horses along the post road and came to Shenwu City.
Today's Shenwu is an empty city, but there are also people who went out to escape the war and returned to live here.
Moreover, at the beginning of the year, a battalion of 500 Sui troops came from Mayi, entered Shenwu, and cleaned up the corpses in Shenwu City and buried them.
They were followed by some homeless people, about 1,000 people, who were the first residents to settle in Shenwu after the war.
However, if you want to restore it to the way it was before, you don't have to think about it for ten or eight years, so it is not appropriate to say that the empty city is too few people.
As for arable land, that's not to be bothered.
There was little arable land in Mayi, and the most important thing was animal husbandry, and in order to deal with the Turkic attacks in the future, Li Jing, the commander of Mayi County, also intended to make the people become herdsmen.
This is a very wise approach, in a place like Mayi, where there will be wars, growing food is for the Turks, it is better for everyone to graze together.
As for whether it is feasible or not, more than half of the area in Mayi is grassland, do you say it is okay?
More than a dozen people were wearing Sui army uniforms, wrapped in thick hooded cloaks, full of swords and bows, and there were thick spears hanging on the sides of the horses of two big men.
As soon as I looked at the long tip of the blade, I knew that it was one of the most expensive weapons in the Sui army, the lance.
People with this kind of weapon, family background, and martial arts are almost indispensable.
More than ten people circled around Shenwu City for half a circle, and the Sui soldiers at the head of the city probed one after another, but few people asked. Coming from the south, dressed like this...... Clean...... It's not a line with these soldiers at all.
If you don't go into the city, forget it. When they entered the city, there were naturally battalion captains, and the brigade commanders went to deal with them. It is not their turn to make the majesty.
After turning half a circle, the people at the gate of the city had already received the report and were about to see who it was, but the group had already turned their horses' heads and walked on the post road to the north.
The captain guarding the city gate spat fiercely, and said in his heart, damn it, such a thief, isn't he a spies of the Turks?
Of course. A more credible guess should be to go to Yunnei City, and now Yunnei City may be bustling with what it will be, the bearded Wu Chang looked north enviously.
More than ten people left Shenwu City, and someone twisted his shoulders on his horse and spoke, "There are eight large and small cities in Mayi County, and once the Turkic army passes, only Shenwu falls. Everything else is safe and sound, it's really strange, looking at the appearance of that city, it's not much worse than Mayi City. ”
A thin voice came from the side. With a little tiredness and a little cheerfulness, "Yanmen is ruined." Ma Yi only broke one city, and Li Jun made great contributions. ”
Li Shimin, who was riding on the horse, immediately pouted. That's why he doesn't want to get along with his siblings, you say. He can talk about the West, you talk about tactics, he talks about strategy, and he understands what the other party wants to say, which feels really bad, and he can't say it anywhere.
Li Shimin looked left and right helplessly, except for his sister, he couldn't find anyone who could say more to him, because the guards who came to Ma Yi were all guards around his father.
These people are all wood, except for Li Yuan's words, if others want to support them, it will be difficult.
Especially the two leaders, one surnamed Yuwen and the other surnamed Gao, you can understand by listening to this surname, people don't give it in vain, you are the second son of the Li family who wants to play prestige in front of others, and you have to weigh it, will people be annoyed, and they will kill you with a knife.
Li Shimin was a little depressed, he was good at making friends, but he didn't want to get involved with these people, they were his father's guards, and if you made a deep friendship, it was inevitable that something would be wrong.
This is the rule of the gate valve family, both father and son must abide by it, but if there is a transgression, it may produce endless resentment.
As a member of a family, if you don't even understand this basic rule, well, you better wash and sleep as soon as possible.
So he could only talk to his clever sister, "Who let the emperor be in Yanmen at that time?" ”
That's what it means to end the topic and bury your head in the road.
Li Xiuning, who was next to her, wrapped her cloak again, but complained in her heart that the cloak was too big, not to mention the cumbersomeness, it didn't look good at all, and at the same time she glared at her maid with squinted eyes, and even forgot to bring wine, and let her pour the toilet for a month when she went back.
"The second brother should go to see Li Juncheng first, it's quite rude to pass through the door like this and not enter."
Sure enough, it was the donkey's lips that were not in the horse's mouth.
Li Shimin sighed like an old man in his heart, and said, "After entering Mayi City, it will be difficult for us to come up with it again, you are so smart, you can't think of it, right?" ”
Of course, you can imagine it, but it's just a little unbalanced to see how silly you look all day long.
Why do you want to join the army, and you can come out if you want to, but I have to circle in the house, and it is so difficult to drink a few sips of wine?
"How can the second brother be smart, we have walked a lot more this time...... But if you rush over like this, you'll become an uninvited guest......"
Li Shimin smiled, poured his mouth full of wind, and couldn't help coughing twice, "Or...... Third sister, you go to Ma Yi to meet Li Juncheng, and let Brother Rong go to Yunnei by himself? ”
The girl next to her snorted dissatisfiedly, saying it was very funny, but it was tricky, far less loyal than the eldest brother.
Rolling her eyes, she also laughed, unexpectedly filled her mouth full of wind, coughed twice, and then said: "Sister Li was beautiful at that time, and after all these years, I don't know what it looks like?" Second brother, don't forget, it's not been two years since your sister-in-law passed the door, so don't have to look at Long. ”
In a word, Li Shimin almost fell from the horse, and even these guards around him also showed a smile on their faces, and they all felt that it was really lively for the Li family and their children to get together.
If others say so, Li Shimin may be proud, the man is lustful, as long as he has that ability, others will only be envious.
Of course, the legacy of Emperor Wen's years is still affecting people's thinking, and it is okay to be lustful, but for the lady of the main room, it is best not to move lightly.
This was the consensus of the courtiers during the reign of Emperor Wen, because there was a Queen Dugu staring at everyone.
Therefore, there was a very strange phenomenon during the reign of Emperor Wen, that is, the courtiers had a group of wives and concubines, but the reviews were all good, because there were no lower cousins.
At this time, the atmosphere of the Kansai Shivalve has not changed much, which shows what kind of prestige and means the Dugu Queen had back then.
However, this will be my sister's mouth, and it will be heard by outsiders again, and Li Shimin's face will be a little unbearable.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's spread out, and I Li Er is a womanizer."
As he spoke, the slender eyes were already tilted towards everyone, and the cold light flickered, as if he had immediately changed as before, and the meaning of the warning was self-evident.
Quietly, the guards distanced themselves from the brother and sister.
The girl frowned, she is not untargeted, you know, the father and son of the Li family, in terms of women, have no restraint.
Take their father Li Yuan as an example, although he has a very close relationship with the Dou family, has respected each other for many years, and has been a beautiful talk in Chang'an, but over the years, Li Yuan's concubines have entered the door one after another, and there are a large number of sons and daughters.
Li Jiancheng is slightly stronger, and the rest are similar to Li Yuan, except for Li Xuanba, who died early, like Li Shimin and Li Yuanji.
If you go to Yunnei and reunite with the old sister of the Li family, hum, maybe there will be some story.
Li Xiuning rolled her eyelids, what did she do, and others couldn't say it?
Along the way, the brother and sister fought with each other, and in the evening of this day, they stayed in the southeast of Yunnei Racecourse.
Originally, Li Shimin also wanted to go to see the battlefield where the Mayi Sui army gathered and annihilated the Turks, but they came quietly without a guide, so they could only give up regretfully.
At noon the next day, the group finally came to the vicinity of Yunnei City.
The closer they got to Yunnei City, the more they muttered, there were a lot of people.
Similar to Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, he was used to seeing the desolation, and he had seen enough of the tragic scene after the war.
I couldn't help it, so I asked a little.
Li Xiuning immediately smiled, the sister of the Li family is getting married, and she is doing a happy event.
Li Shimin was not as unbearable as she thought, so he was interested at that time, he liked to join in the fun the most, and he gossiped a little bit.
Immediately, the brother and sister felt that this marriage was a bit strange.
Li Po Li Ding'an, who joined the army in Heng'an Town, is a student of Li Jing of Mayi County, Fufeng Ren's family, his parents died, and there is only one sister by his side.
married the third lady of Li Jing's family in Mayi County, Li Bi, the general of Hengan Town.
This is just from the city of Mayi, the bride has just come back, and is preparing for the marriage ceremony.
The identities of these two are strange enough in Li Shimin's opinion, he can be regarded as well-informed, in Chang'an City, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, is there any strange thing?
For example, marrying a sister-in-law, marrying a niece's daughter, marrying his father's concubine, his father making his daughter belly bigger, and the things in the mansion are all kinds of things, only you can't think of it, and no one can't do it, but he has never heard of joining the army and marrying a general, which is so interesting.
And what is even more strange about this marriage is that there are only two people in the husband's family, and this worship hall should worship the tablet, right?
Ah, this Heng'an Town is amazing to join the army, marrying the daughter of the Guanxi Shilord, and being alone can welcome people to Yunnei City, Li Jing didn't follow, such a skill, damn it, this ability is really not small.
The brother and sister memorized the hero genealogy over and over again, and they didn't think of which family surnamed Li in Kansai Fufeng had such ability.
Suddenly, this Li Senjun, who had only heard of his name and had never met him, became tall in the hearts of the two brothers and sisters.
Born in a big valve, they naturally understand the peculiarities.
However, then again, there are too many people with the surname Li in Kansai, and this Li is not sure who is the son of the army.
And that's all they can get from the mouths of ordinary people, and if they want to know more, they have to meet themselves. (To be continued.) )
