Chapter 43 Lingzhou Beacon Smoke Rises Again

The wind and rain finally stopped, Chen Ying was so tired that he couldn't breathe, and he didn't even feel like he had the strength to raise his hand now. Li Daozhen and Chen Ying fell on the bed together.

Chen Ying didn't know how to face Li Daozhen, and now he took advantage of it, but even that promise couldn't be spoken. Chen Ying knew that silence would never be the solution to the problem, so he considered the words and muttered, "What are your plans in the future?" ”

While dressing, Li Daozhen combed her unkempt hair with her hands and said softly: "In the troubled times, human life is like grass, and I have to meet Chen Lang, which is the honor ......of Daozhen's three lives."

Chen Ying struggled to get up: "I mean later...... Don't interrupt! ”

"Later...... Let's talk about that later! Li Daozhen looked slightly, turned her head to look at Chen Ying's handsome face, she stretched out her hand and boldly stroked Chen Ying's face, and said lightly: "I know what Chen Lang cares about, I won't stop you from being a colt......"

"You know, that's not what I meant!" Chen Ying roared with all his might: "I, Chen Ying, am not a bad seed, not a bastard who puts on his pants and doesn't admit it!" ”

"Why, you men are so annoying, taking advantage of it once, and thinking that I should always be yours? Joke! Li Daozhen said loudly: "I am not your good match, the life of a good wife and mother, husband and child is not suitable for me." ”

Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "You...... What kind of life do you want? ”

"I want to be a queen!" Li Daozhen's dress was already dressed, she jumped out of bed, her feet were soft, and she struggled to hold on to the bed to maintain her balance: "I want to be a queen!" ”

Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "If you want to be a queen, now is not a good time." ”

What Chen Ying wants to say is that if Li Daozhen was born during the reign of Li Zhi, or during the period of Wu Zetian, she might be able to become the queen. However, in the era of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, there was no such possibility.

Li Daozhen glanced at Chen Ying, her eyes were full of determination: "I must be the queen." Li Daozhen stroked his flat lower abdomen and said, "He must be the little prince!" ”

Chen Ying didn't know how to persuade Li Daozhen, but Li Daozhen left the bedroom without hesitation.

Chen Ying turned around and saw the mottled plum blossom on the sheets. Recalling last night's upheaval, Chen Ying felt extremely ridiculous.

……

Chen Ying returned to the Chen Mansion with a huge black circle under his eyes, only to see that the Chen Mansion, which was still crowded yesterday, became crowded at this time.

As long as Gao Wenjin is busy in the house, Chen Ying said: "Invite Mr. Xu Jingzong and Mr. Xu over......

Gao Wenjin said: "Lang Jun, Mr. Xu went to Qinglin early in the morning!" ”

Because of the matter of Qian Zhuang, Chen Ying has not been to Qinglin for more than half a month. Chen Ying secretly thought that with Xu Jingzong staring in the past, the progress of Chenjiawu Fort would definitely not be slow.

Chen Ying said again: "Invite Mr. Ma Zhouma over ......" Chen Ying got up and said: "Forget it, I'll invite it!" ”

Gao Wenjin said: "Lang Jun, Mr. Ma has already gone out of Chang'an City to look for a store to make money!" ”

Chen Ying sat on the soft couch dejectedly, last night's madness had exhausted Chen Ying's physical strength, as the so-called only tired cattle, no ploughed fields, Chen Ying's green cow, at this time was already sluggish, Chen Ying lay on the soft couch softly, and fell asleep unconsciously.

……

There are eighteen towns in Lingwu, and these eighteen towns are all Han slaves that Chen Ying snatched back from the Turks, most of them are women in the prime of life, and if these women rely on farming alone, they are naturally inferior to men. However, these women have all gone through nine deaths and crawled out of the pile of dead people, and their minds are much stronger than ordinary men.

Taking advantage of the loan that Chen Ying lent them in the name of the Tang Dynasty government, they bought seeds and farming tools, and finally got through the most difficult period of the first year. These women had been slaves of the Turks, and naturally experienced the life of cattle and horses, for whom it was far easier to die than to live.

But now that they have all survived, no one wants to go back to the past.

Any woman who survived, any one of them was the strongest among women. They took advantage of Chen Ying's policy to obtain a batch of inferior knives, guns and some bows and crossbows, and in addition to the busy farming, except for a few women who used cashmere weaving thread to weave cashmere cloth, most of them began to repair their forts, strengthen their guard towers, and also strengthen military training.

Especially when Li Daozong led the four Zhichong Mansions of the Dingyuan Army to leave Lingzhou, the head of the big and small forts and the mayor of the eighteenth town fort of Lingwu suddenly felt the tense atmosphere in the air.

Song Wu's sister-in-law is the town general of the seventeenth town of Lingwu, and the only female town general, of course, in this era, it is still very rare for a woman to be an official, but the official position of the town general does not belong to the official system in the Tang Dynasty, but belongs to Chen Ying's private appointment, and the court does not recognize it.

The eighteen towns of Lingwu are divided into eighteen town generals, and the gap in the number of people between the towns is not small, and the strength is not enough.

Song Wu's sister-in-law was a native of Gyeongju and was plundered to the Turks as slaves seventeen years ago. Song Wu's sister-in-law relied on her excellent tanning technology to survive in the Turks. It's just a pity that a pair of sons and daughters died at the hands of the Turks.

Since she was rescued by Chen Ying, she has not remarried, but is bent on revenge. Don't look at the seventeenth town of Lingwu, there are only 3,700 people, including more than 3,000 women, but as the mayor of the town, Song Wu's sister-in-law organized a guard army of nearly 500 female soldiers.

If it weren't for the critical situation in Hedong, Chen Ying would have destroyed Liang Shidu easily, but because he was concerned about Li Xiuning's safety, Chen Ying let go of Liang Shidu at the end of the strong crossbow.

After Song Wu's sister-in-law learned that Li Daozong had withdrawn the Dingyuan army, she was distracted. Worried about being afraid, she was actually not worried about the Turks attacking, the Turks were already scared by Chen Ying, they didn't dare to take the initiative to attack Lingzhou, but Liang Shidu dared.

As the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of comes.

On October 5 of the second year of Wude, that is, the seventh day of Li Daozong's transfer, Song Wu's sister-in-law received a complaint from Ding Mu Xiuling of the 17th Fort.

With Mu Xiuling's crying, Song Wu's sister-in-law slowly understood what was going on.

Mu Xiuling is a spicy woman, and Pingyang is also very harsh on her husband, and if she disagrees, she will fight. But I never thought that Mu Xiuling's husband suddenly ran away from home yesterday night, and he still can't find a trace until now.

At first, Song Wu's sister-in-law wanted to persuade Mu Xiuling to be kind to her husband, but when Mu Xiuling said that her father-in-law was actually a party member, she sealed Dayu.

The party members are also Chen Ying's defeated generals, and they have a hatred for exterminating the Tang people. If Xifeng Dayu didn't run, it meant that he had given up his hatred, but at this time he had already run, and he must have known that Li Daozong had left Lingzhou with the four Zhichong Mansions of the Dingyuan Army. Now Xifeng Dayu is either running to the Turks, or defecting to Liangshidu.

Song Wusao hurriedly took the female cavalry to the north to chase after her, chasing for nearly a hundred miles, and found no trace of fine seal Dayu at all, since fine seal Dayu did not run to the Turks, then it is most likely to run to the capital of Liang Division in Yanzhou. Once Master Liang knows that Lingzhou is empty, Master Liang will never give up this good opportunity for revenge.

Song Wu's sister-in-law was so anxious that she hurriedly contacted the generals of the eighteen towns of Lingwu, and on October 11, the eighteen towns of Lingwu would gather at Hongshan Fort to hold a war mobilization meeting. Seeing that the towns were coming, Song Wu's sister-in-law said: "Liang Shidu, that old fox will definitely not swallow his anger, if you want to deal with anyone, you will always wait until the time to pounce on the opponent and bite the opponent without letting go, and now the news that our Lingzhou Dingyuan Army has withdrawn has been known by Liang Shidu, the old fox, I am very worried that his old fox will be unfavorable to us......"
