Chapter 43: How to Get the Best of Both Worlds

"Chen Lang, the concubine wants to eat aftertaste chicken!"

"Do it, do it right away!"

"The concubine wants to eat skin jelly!"

"Do it, do it right away for your husband!"

Since Li Xiuning was pregnant, Li Xiuning has become the queen. And Chen Ying became Li Xiuning's little follower. In fact, Li Xiuning's physical fitness is not bad, but her reaction is too great. Generally speaking, pregnant women can't eat greasy things, but Li Xiuning is good, she likes to eat meat more than before, it's just meatless.

Of course, Li Xiuning will vomit after eating. However, I vomited and ate again.

Pregnancy is a very painful torture, when Chen Ying took care of Li Xiuning in detail, he invariably remembered Li Daozhen, Li Daozhen from pregnancy to childbirth, Chen Ying did not see her, and all the hardships were borne by Li Daozhen.

Every time he thought of this, Chen Ying felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Sorry.

This is Chen Ying's biggest feeling.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ying let Li Xiuning support him.

"Chen Lang, I want to vomit again!" Li Xiuning said delicately.

At this time, Li Xiuning's temperament changed greatly and became extremely delicate.

However, what Chen Ying understands most is that women are fickle.

Sure enough, Chen Ying had just taken the spittoon, and Li Xiuning turned around and lay on the soft couch again, and said lazily: "Chen Lang, I don't want to vomit again......"

In fact, Li Xiuning is also trying. Tested how much Chen should love her.

Li Xiuning herself is pregnant and can't have sex for almost a year, at this time Chen Ying's five concubines should come in handy, but Li Xiuning is worried that Chen Ying will like the new and hate the old.

In fact, Li Xiuning suffered from prenatal depression. Chen Ying naturally understood Li Xiuning and willingly accepted Li Xiuning's toss.

In the evening, Chen Ying went to the bedroom after bathing as usual. But Chen Ying ate a closed door.

"Sanniang, open the door, it's me!" Chen Ying looked at the bedroom with the door closed, and said with a wry smile: "Open the door!" ”

Li Xiuning said: "Don't open it, resolutely don't open it!" ”

"Why?"

"Because, now that I have a body, I can't have sex!"

"You think too much, how can your husband not know this, don't worry, I just sleep with you!"

Li Xiuning looked at He Yue'er beside her, looked at He Yue'er, who was dressed up in full costume and as beautiful as a flower, and said to the outside of the house: "You don't count when you talk, every time you say you won't touch me, but which time counts!" ”

Chen Ying was really speechless and had no way to refute it.

However, Chen Ying was not reluctant.

Seeing Li Xiuning's resolute attitude, he turned around and left helplessly.

When Chen Ying came to the study, he picked up a few books casually and flipped through them, which was obviously boring. With a hint of amazement in his heart, when he came to the bedroom in the study, Chen Ying was stunned, and actually found He Yue'er sitting on the bed.

Chen Ying asked in surprise, "Why is Miss Yue'er here?" ”

"Shouldn't I be here?" He Yue'er smiled softly.

"It's a surprise, you're haunted anyway!" Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "What's the matter with Miss Yue'er?" ”

However, hearing this, He Yue'er's pretty face became even paler, her slightly upturned nose was a little sour, and she said with teary eyes: "In Lang Jun's eyes, there is nothing to do, shouldn't Yue'er come?" ”

Chen Ying felt inexplicably wonderful, he definitely didn't believe that He Yue'er would cry, in Chen Ying's eyes, He Yue'er was the kind of female man who could run a horse on her arm and kill a tiger with three punches, no matter how cute she looked, but Chen Ying knew that He Yue'er could take off her head with her bare hands if she wanted to.

What Chen Ying couldn't see the most was the woman's tears, and he couldn't help but panic: "Miss Yue'er, if you have something to say, why are you still crying?" If this gets out, it's like how I am! ”

He Yue'er choked up and said, "Yue'er is Lang Jun's concubine. ”

"Concubine is a famous concubine!" It is their duty to have children and pass on the ancestry, and it is their duty to do so.

Chen Ying couldn't help but get entangled.

If He Yue'er is driven out, I'm afraid He Yue'er won't have to see anyone again in the future. A woman who was kicked out of the house by her owner seems to have only one way to die.

Of course, He Yue'er may be more difficult than ordinary women.

Seeing Chen Ying hesitate, He Yue'er said again: "This is what the princess meant!" ”

"Then ...... Turn off the lights! Chen Ying shouted in his heart: "I love this era!" ”

……

In the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City and the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, the lights are bright, and Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and the prime minister's important ministers are planning countermeasures.

Qu Tutong, the secretary of the military department, stood in front of a large wooden map and was reporting to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, the Western Turks are now divided into three routes, the middle route army is led by a sudden and versatile army, about 30,000 horses, and lives in Wenshui (that is, Wenweishui, now Wuweidong), the purpose is to prevent our Tang Dynasty from supporting Liangzhou, and the other thousands of cavalry are lightly armed and enter Tanglong Town (20 miles west of the Yellow River in the southeast of the Jungger Banner in Inner Mongolia), which seems to be in alliance with the Eastern Turk Jieli Khan. Now, the Tang Dynasty is in Guanzhong, and 80,000 soldiers can be recruited, including 36,000 cavalry, if you count the strong force of the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right guards, the imperial court can transfer out 120,000 troops......"

Speaking of this, Qu Tutong sighed and said: "Your Majesty, if you transfer these 120,000 troops, I am afraid that this is the strategy of the Turks to attack the west and the east, in case Liangzhou cannot hold it, and if this army has another accident, Guanzhong will have no troops to adjust." ”

At this time, Xiao Yu bowed down and said: "The ministers will not hesitate to die, and I implore Your Majesty to issue an edict to give up Liangzhou for the time being!" ”

Xiao Yu said a word, and was shocked.

"Give up Liangzhou!"

The ministers were shocked and discussed.

Li Yuan's eyes swept at the ministers like lightning, and Feng Deyi also said: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

The important ministers in the main hall stood up one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal-"

Li Jiancheng was indignant, but he couldn't speak.

Pei Lin still closed his eyes and didn't speak.

In the main hall, the crowd was panicked.

Li Jiancheng is generously stating and saying: "Li Daozong is still resisting the Western Turkic army, the soldiers on the front line are still fighting, above the temple, the princes only want to give up Liangzhou, and now that the Western Turks have hit Liangzhou, you want to give up Liangzhou, if you enter Guanzhong, do you want to give up Chang'an?" Are you worthy of Li Daozong? Are you worthy of the soldiers who fought bloodily for the Tang Dynasty? ”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but blush, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Western Turkic Emperor Yehu Khan is brave and invincible, shocking the Western Regions, destroying dozens of countries, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, military strategy and martial arts, no less than Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu back then, besides, Liangzhou is too far away from Chang'an, if we rescue Liangzhou, we will dump the soldiers in the pass, but once there is a change in the state or Hebei, the Tang Dynasty will be worried about its demise." ”

Feng Deyi immediately continued: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it is now autumn, and it will be icy and snowy in less than a month, when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops are adrift, the roads are impassable, and the advance and retreat are lost, whether Li Daozong can hold out until the reinforcements arrive is still unknown, but the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan, once he detects the emptiness in Guanzhong, will never wait to ignore it, the danger of Chang'an is already in sight!" ”

Li Jiancheng said sadly and indignantly: "Although Liangzhou is in danger now, the safety of Liangzhou and the merger of Liangzhou are not an either/or relationship. Whether we can preserve both depends on our determination and ability. ”

"Can you really have both?" Xiao Yu asked Qu Tutong and said, "General Qu Tu, if you are given 30,000 troops, how sure are you that you will be able to relieve the siege of Liangzhou?" ”

Qu Tutong refused to answer.

Xiao Yu asked again: "What if you are given 50,000 people?" ”

Qu Tutong still refused to answer.

Xiao Yu asked again: "What if you are given 80,000?" ”

Qu Tutong groaned and said: "If there are 80,000 people, if you kill Liangzhou and break through the warm water, you should have seven or eight points of certainty, but you still have to be fast, and you have to kill near Liangzhou when Li Daozong's side still has the strength to respond to us." ”

Xiao Yu said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the judgment of the old minister is similar to that of General Qu Tu, so ask His Royal Highness the Prince, if Guanzhong sends out 80,000 troops to save Li Daozong, and Jieli Khan leads 300,000 Eastern Turkic troops to attack with all his might, then can Guanzhong's side still resist it?" Can Hebei resist it? What about Youzhou? And what about the state? What about Lingzhou? ”

"This ......" Li Jiancheng knew that if it was an expeditionary rescue, the troops dispatched would inevitably be government soldiers, and the recruits and foot soldiers did not have the ability to go on a rapid expedition, so they were afraid that they would cause trouble, but if they transferred 20,000 main cavalry, then Guanzhong would be enough to choke, although they might not be able to defend, but Li Jiancheng did not dare to say that he was completely sure.

At this time, the ministers coaxed: "Xiao Xiangguo's words are also a strategy for the old man to become a country, if you want to save the Tang Dynasty, it is better to give up Liangzhou first!" ”

At this moment, Pei Lian, who had not spoken, suddenly raised his head and walked forward slowly, and the ministers were stunned.

Pei Lin waved at Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a few questions that I don't understand, and I want to ask Xiao Xiangguo!"
