Chapter 71: The First Hearing of Feng Xiang's Change (1)
Li Ye's manor is not big, but it is also 'small sparrows, but all kinds of organs'. At this time, the main means of transportation was horses, so Li Ye had to master the skill of riding horses whether he liked it or not, so whether it was the palace or several manors outside the city, there were stables.
Thanks to the royal brother Li Yi, Li Ye is not short of good horses, only he usually rides four or five good horses, as well as a few young horses, mainly to cultivate feelings from an early age.
At this time, in the grass in front of the stable, a half-large jujube red horse less than a person tall was being pulled out by the groom. This jujube red horse has a smooth and shiny body, a black mane, and long and powerful legs, and those who know horses know that it is a good horse at a glance, and it is also a mare.
As soon as she saw that Liu Chenyan's attitude had changed greatly, she hurriedly ran over, looked up and down, and then couldn't help touching her beautiful mane. The jujube red horse is also very docile, and it was a little resistant at first, but after Liu Chenyan took a handful of hay from the groom, the jujube red horse accepted Liu Chenyan's touch.
"Your Highness, did you really give me this horse?" Liu Chenyan asked excitedly, and then looked at her with a look of surprise, for fear of the word 'no' that Li Ye would say.
"Of course, this is what I specifically went to find. This horse is a cross between a Shu horse and a Uighur horse, and I let people see it, the limbs are strong, there is no disease, and it is a good horse. This horse is only 2 years old, you can take it back and keep it well, and when you are older, you can saddle it up and train it. Li Ye said with a smile.
The lifespan of a horse is different from that of a human, only one-third of a human, and the adult age of a horse is about 4 years old, and it enters old age after the age of 16. The horse in front of him is not high because of the bloodline of Shu horses, but it is very suitable for women, after all, Liu Chenyan does not have to ride a horse to kill the enemy, it is more just for transportation.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Liu Chenyan smiled sweetly, but she couldn't put down this horse in her hands.
"Not angry?" Li Ye asked with a smile.
"Don't be angry." Liu Chenyan grinned.
"You Nizi, am I the kind of person who is eccentric? When you say partiality, you are also partial. People like poetry, I'm sure I'll send her something related, what about you? If you also like poetry, I will give it to you, but you don't like that. Li Ye didn't have a good airway.
"Your Highness, don't be angry, can't I be wrong?" Liu Chenyan was reluctant to leave the jujube red horse, came to Li Ye's side, shook his hand, and sprinkled coquettishly.
"Don't shake it, shake it up again." Saying that, Li Ye leaned into the other party's ear and said in a low voice, "It's also that you haven't entered the mansion yet, otherwise I will definitely teach you a hard lesson." ”
After speaking, Li Ye looked around, no one looked here, so he patted the other party's buttocks lightly, for fear that the other party would be mad on the spot, so he ran away as if he had wings.
"Your Highness, you are necrotic."
The coquettish voice came from behind, but Li Ye didn't dare to stop, who knows if it was the girl's conspiracy, the other party was the most happy.
At noon, Li Ye and others were naturally the fish they ate. For eating, Li Ye is better at it, people in the previous life knew that Sichuan food was delicious, but they didn't know that the best cooking was not those Sichuan girls, but the men of Sichuan girls, Li Ye was one of them.
On this plane, he certainly can't cook himself, but he can instruct the people below to do this. Since there was no disturbance from Liu Chenyan, Li Ye caught seven or eight fish in the morning, and Li Yi also fished several, a total of enough for six or seven people to eat, it must be no problem, looking at the hot and sour fish on the table, including Li Ye, he drooled.
Although there are no chili peppers at this time, there are dogwoods, although they are not as good as chili peppers, but it is still possible to replace them, and you can't let the fleet sail to the Americas to find chili peppers now! The chili pepper problem has been solved, and the other seasonings have also been solved.
However, just when Li Ye was eating delicious food carefree here, a major event happened in Fengxiang in Guanzhong: Fengxiang's army marched Sima Li Changyan withdrew his troops from the Xingping front line and surrounded Fengxiang Mansion.
As for what happened here, due to the inconvenience of transportation, when it reached Shuzhong, it was a month later.
。。。。。。
"Jie Shuai, Xia Guan is willing to lead a small elite force to invite the troops of Qinzhou, Jingyuan, and Yanyan Zhuzhen to come and quell the rebellion while the rebels have not yet surrounded Fengxiang Mansion."
Fengxiang Mansion, the residence of the Jiedu Envoy, a group of civil and military officials gathered here, but the atmosphere was very dignified.
Just an hour ago, the main force of the Fengxiang Army, which was supposed to be stationed in Xingping to guard against Huangchao, actually appeared less than 10 miles east of Fengxiang and made an offensive move. This news can be described as a thunderstorm for everyone in Fengxiang Mansion.
Since Fengxiang Mansion was the front line against the Huangchao army, the main force of the Fengxiang army was stationed in Xingping, and now there are about 16,000 people. In Fengxiang Mansion, the government soldiers and tooth soldiers added up to only 5,000 people, and they were not opponents of the rebels at all.
"What General Zhou said is very true, in addition to this, we can also go to the prime minister for help. Wang Xiang, as the commander of all the Taoist camps, has an army of 30,000 in his hands, and the distance from Fengxiang is more than 200 miles, and the army can reach it in two days at the earliest.
As long as they hold out until reinforcements arrive, the rebels are bound to collapse. Another man next to him persuaded.
In the face of the people below constantly coming up with ideas, Zheng Ji sat on the top and was silent. At this time, Zheng Zheng couldn't understand no matter how he thought about it, why did Li Changyan rebel? He was also not weak with Li Changyan, and because of his trust in him, he led the main force of the Fengxiang Army to garrison Xingping against the Huangchao army.
In the previous few battles, the opponent also performed quite well. Why did the other party suddenly rebel?
It's not that he's worried about himself, if he just wants his position as a festival envoy, he can give it up, but he's worried about the overall situation of counterinsurgency.
Huang Chao's victory in Chang'an has too much impact on the entire Tang Dynasty, and Zheng Zheng is on the front line and feels the deepest about this. In fact, after Huangchao conquered Chang'an, there were many troops in Guanzhong, but there were not many who took the initiative to meet Huangchao, most of them sat on the shore and watched the fire, only he led the Fengxiang army to meet the Huangchao army.
It wasn't until after he defeated Wang Fan that the towns of Guanzhong united, and not long ago they attacked Chang'an. originally thought that Chang'an could be recovered, but in the end, not only was Chang'an recaptured by the Huangchao army, but also suffered heavy losses, which stabilized the situation in Guanzhong. However, with Wang Duo leading a large army stationed in Xugu (the same week), Huang Chao's army did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
But at this time, Li Changyan actually led the army to evacuate Xingping and attack Fengxiang.
"My lord, the situation is critical now, and we should make a decision as soon as possible." Seeing that Zheng Zheng didn't speak, Sun Chu, a staff member on the side, persuaded him a little anxiously.
Do you really want to meet each other?
Zheng Ji was a little hesitant, although after he sent people to Zhuzhen to ask for help, he would definitely be able to ask for reinforcements, and after the reinforcements came, he would definitely be able to quell the rebellion. However, after the rebellion was put down, Fengxiang Mansion was bound to suffer a great loss of vitality, and the army would also suffer heavy losses. This is equivalent to civil strife, at that time, Huang Chao, who was far away in Chang'an, must have been happy to see jokes, if the other party was smart, maybe he would take the opportunity to attack the imperial army.
In that case, the good situation in Guanzhong will definitely come to naught, and Fengxiang in the so-called land of Longxing will also be greatly affected.
"Do you all think that the rebellion should be quelled by force? At that time, even if the counterinsurgency is successful, Fengxiang Mansion will be seriously damaged by the war. Zheng Jin hesitated.
"This...
Many of the people present were locals of Fengxiang Mansion, and if Fengxiang really suffered from the war, they would feel very guilty, but they couldn't condone Li Changyan's rebellion.
"Whether Li Sima defected to the Yellow Nest is still unknown. I really can't bear to kill each other among the people below, and the good situation that I have built up so hard will be burned. If Li Changyan is just plotting the position of the envoy of this section, what does it matter if I give him up, but he must ensure that he obeys the order to quell the rebellion. Zheng Zhen said seriously.
"Jie Shuai, Li Changyan is a wolf with ambitions. If the other party really becomes a festival envoy, he will definitely not take the initiative to quell the rebellion, and the lower official thinks that the festival commander should be decisive. If Li Changyan is indulged, it will inevitably lead to even greater trouble. Sun Chuyi said righteously.
In the end, Zheng Zheng still ordered people to take advantage of the fact that the rebels did not encircle Fengxiang to send people to the surrounding towns to report the news, and at the same time sent people to bring a letter to Li Changyan, hoping to meet with the other party. Most of the officials below expressed opposition to Zheng Jin's request to see Li Changyan, fearing that Li Changyan would harm Zheng Jin.
However, Zheng Zheng still has hope in his heart, thinking that he can still persuade Li Changyan, in his opinion, it is better to meet without soldiers.
