Chapter 639: Tenderness
On the top of the main hall, Lancôme personally put on the armor for Li Jing, and a female official outside walked in cautiously, although Li Jing's palace also has an inner attendant, but relatively speaking, the number of female officials is far above the inner attendant. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the secret guard, Mrs. Zhu and the little prince have set off, passed through Luoyang to enter Guanzhong, and returned to Taiyuan from Guanzhong." The female officer whispered.
Lancôme, who was sorting out Li Jing's clothes, paused with her right hand, and quickly returned to normal, and only after the female official stepped back did she say: "Although he is the heir of the king, after all, his surname is Zhao, and he needs to change his name when he joins my Tang Dynasty." ”
"This is nature." Li Jing nodded, it was impossible for him to raise someone else's son, even before this, he was careful to verify, and he didn't know how much time it took to prove that Zhao Chen was his son, otherwise, this rescue would not have Zhao Chen's share, he would have been left in the fire a long time ago, anyway, there was a Zhao Huan who carried the black pot for himself.
Lancôme nodded, she is still quite satisfied with this kind of life now, although Li Jing has a lot of women, but she is very good to herself and Li Dingbei, not only canonized herself as the queen, but also made Li Dingbei the prince of the king, and he will be the crown prince in the future.
"After a while, Li Qingluo, the princess of Western Xia, will arrive, so you can arrange it then!" Li Jing thought about it and said indifferently.
Lancôme smiled bitterly, Li Qingluo is also the princess of Western Xia, this time she came to make peace, after coming to Taiyuan, Li Jing didn't show up, it didn't matter, and he actually went out in person, which was a shame for Li Qingluo. Lancôme couldn't help but say, "There are those generals on the expedition, is it really necessary for the king to go?" ”
"Of course I have to go, this time I want to teach the court a hard lesson, and settle the affairs of Youzhou as soon as possible, and I will attack Bashu. Li Qingluo is just a princess, after I destroy the Western Xia, she will become the princess of the dead country, where do you need to treat her differently, you look up to her too much. Li Jing said indifferently.
"The king's expedition can naturally boost the morale of the army, but you can't go to the battle formation in person, otherwise, if something happens to the king, I'm afraid the Tang Dynasty will fall apart immediately." Lancôme said earnestly.
"Don't worry! I know. Li Jing nodded, at this time, even if he wants to go to the battlefield in person, I am afraid that the generals below will not agree, the Guards Army is divided into two, one part is the Guards Light Cavalry, one part is the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, the newly formed Guards Army reached 30,000 people, the general Hua Rong is the commander of the Guards Light Cavalry, and the General Li Daniu is the commander of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, after two months of rectification, the new Guards Army broke out with strong combat effectiveness, this time following Li Jing to send troops, the Guards Army was dispatched.
With the support of Li Jing, the firearms battalion added an artillery battalion in addition to some common firearms. It's just that the artillery battalion at this time is not so much a catapult battalion, they modified the catapult, and they mostly used live ammunition. The greatest power is that the range is longer, the power of attacking cities or defending is greater, and the greatest functional deterrent is more. As for the lethality, it is much smaller, after all, that kind of flowering shell is not to be studied for a long time, and the original manufacturing of cannons is not something that ordinary tools can make.
"I heard that Su Yuanjing personally led the army this time, Zhang Di led 100,000 troops to invade Shexian County, Liang Zhongshu led tens of thousands of troops to respond, you only led 50,000 troops, can you really do it?" Lancôme hesitated.
"There are too many losses in the army, and it will be a big war soon, we want to annex the land of Bashu, where the granary of Bashu is, not like now, although there are many merchants who are smuggling grain and grass, but the cost is too high, the imperial court is very strict in the blockade of the Yellow River, we need to have our own grain and grass base, Bashu is just the best choice." Li Jing shook his head and said: "Just if we want to capture Bashu, we have to do a lot of tactical feints, so that the imperial court thinks that our next target is Western Xia, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to attack Bashu." Li Jing stroked Lancôme's jade-like face and said: "Zhang Di's 100,000 army is mostly old and weak, and it is useless, as for Liang Zhongshu's soldiers and horses, it is okay to escort the grain and grass, but it is impossible to do anything else, this time I will not only defeat Su Yuanjing, but also come to Luoyang, so that the imperial court will not dare to provoke me for several years." In this way, we can have the experience to run the Bashu and Guanzhong areas, and then completely eliminate the Western Xia. Let our rear wings be free of any danger. ”
"This is your man's business, I don't understand it, as long as you can return safely, the concubine will be satisfied." Lancôme stroked the tassel on the armor, and couldn't help but lean on Li Jing's armor, Li Jing also hugged Lancôme in his arms, among so many women, all women have their own characteristics, but if it can make him feel at ease and comfortable, I'm afraid only Lancôme is the only one. When you come to this world, the only one who really has a heart for you is Lancôme.
"Your Majesty, General Li has already made preparations, please take your seat." At this time, the urging sound of the waiter sounded outside. The warmth between the two was broken instantly.
Li Jing couldn't help but glared at the waiter, and the frightened waiter knelt on the ground, trembling all over, but he didn't know what he was wrong. Instead, Lancôme gently pushed Li Jing, then waved his hand and said, "You went to see all the lords and generals, and said that the king would arrive soon." ”
"Yes." The chamberlain did not dare to slack off, and quickly retreated.
"Thou art the king of the court, so why bother with a chamberlain! Behold, the attendant is frightened. Lancôme nudged Li Jing and said.
"Hmph, who let him disturb you and me." Li Jing said with a smile: "I hate these guys when I look at them, if it weren't for Zhao Ding and Wang Hao's support, these people shouldn't be used at all." ”
"Your Majesty, this inner servant has been like this since ancient times, some poor children can't support themselves, just..." Lancôme was about to continue, but was stopped by Li Jing, as a modern person, Li Jing is the most unacceptable is this, but follow the local customs, even Li Jing has no way, can only be Ying Wang Pu and others, but in the palace, the number of female officials is far above the inner servant.
"Let's go!" Li Jing shook his head, some thoughts still can't be integrated with the people of this era, however, in the face of Lancôme, he didn't want to quarrel with him, but took the other party's jade hand, his face was gentle, and said: "Dingbei and Erniang are already waiting." ”
"Okay." Lancôme felt the tenderness in Li Jing's eyes, nodded, and after half a step behind Li Jing, he walked out of the palace and saw Wang Shizi Li Dingbei and Chai Erniang and other women, adding up to more than 20 people, Chai Erniang and others either had big bellies, or held babies, looked at Li Jing, and fell to the ground one after another.
"Get up!" Li Jing held Li Dingbei in his arms, kissed him, and then handed Li Dingbei to Lancôme, and said to Chai Erniang and others: "Good students stay at home, each has its own duties, listen to the queen and Erniang in internal affairs, and hand over foreign affairs to Zhao Ding and Li Fu." ”
"Yes." The women hurriedly nodded, in fact, at this time, there was no contradiction between the women, basically they were in their own duties, or practicing martial arts, or chanting poems and paintings, etc., and everything was fine.
Li Jing rode Zhu Long out of the palace, on the palace square, Zhao Ding and other civil and military generals were waiting on the side, and countless soldiers in the distance, dressed in black armor, were waiting on the side, on one side was the guard light horse, and on the other side was the Xuanjia iron horse, led by Hua Rong and Li Daniu respectively.
"Your Majesty, just now the secret guard came to report, the imperial court has issued a holy decree, known as Guanzhong, Hebei and the strong gentry to resist our army, all those who have made meritorious contributions, the court will not hesitate to reward the officials, can kill the generals of our army, and can even be crowned marquis, if so, if it can kill the king, then the king." Zhao Ding approached Li Jing and whispered.
"It's just a small skill of carving insects, what you can't get on the battlefield, can you get it by other means? What a joke the court is! After Li Jing heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"The king is brave, and he is heavily guarded by his side, so the ministers naturally don't have to worry, but the generals in the army? Especially General Li Qiao, it is inevitable that some people in Guanzhong will have other thoughts! Zhao Ding said in a low voice.
"That's okay, let the secret guard immediately send someone to guard the generals, and some of the gentry are not allowed to participate in the banquet." Li Jing nodded and said: "Everyone should be careful about everything, these gentry themselves are contrary to our land policy, and now with the holy decree of the imperial court, these people have different thoughts in the air, and they may not be ruthless to us, Li Qiao is a general in the army, if something happens, the situation in our Guanzhong will be problematic." Not only these generals, but also you civilian officials, you have to be careful in everything. ”
"Yes." Everyone nodded, slightly disapproving in their hearts, in this Taiyuan City, if they were assassinated by the enemy, it would be a big joke, how could they be so bold.
Of course, what they don't know is that the interests are moving, and such a situation is not nothing, but it does not happen in Taiyuan, but in Shexian County, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li Jing only placed a team of 3,000 people here, although Zhang Di and others attacked very sharply, but the defense was also in place, and after spending a lot of troops, Zhang Di gave up the attack.
He is not a fool, although Su Yuanjing is good to himself, but the 100,000 army is his own, once the loss is clean, it is when he is unlucky. If these people really want to be good to themselves, they should let Liang Zhongshu lead the army to come. It's just that what makes Zhang Di a little curious is that Su Yuanjing doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Eun-sang." Zhang Di walked into the big tent and looked at Su Yuanjing with some curiosity, Su Yuanjing sat quietly behind the handsome case, his face was calm, and he was still holding a book in his hand.
"Zhang Di! Do you know why this official is so idle, as if he has a chance to win? Su Yuanjing seemed to be able to see through Zhang Di's thoughts, and said lightly: "This is called evil defeating good, righteousness is in our hands, everyone in the world will stand on the side of the court, even if Li Jing has 100,000 male soldiers, he is not the opponent of the court." ”
Zhang Di was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and couldn't help but say: "What does Enxiang mean is that we already have an internal response in this county, so we will easily seize the county soon?" ”
"Naturally, there are people in the city who want to go to the court, Li Jing is just a thief, where can it be a climate?" Su Yuanjing said disdainfully: "You just wait to enter the city!" ”
"Yes." What is surprising is that Zhang Di did not look happy after hearing this, but nodded and retreated with a gloomy face. When he came out of the big tent, he sighed. Obviously, he had an internal response in the city, and he also let his army charge for a while, losing hundreds of elites. Although it was just a charge, it also showed the attitude of the imperial court towards Zhang Di, which made Zhang Di faintly regret it, but now his army has left Yuzhou, and the grain and grass are in the hands of Liang Zhongshu, and his tens of thousands of troops are guarding the right wing at the same time, how can they not monitor themselves, once they rebel again, these escort armies can immediately become enemies and kill into the army.
"Hey!" Zhang Di only understood why Li Jing rebelled at this time, because the imperial army did not take these people in their eyes, and they would not win them over, but they would be infinitely suspicious. That's why Li Jing will rise up.
In Shexian County, Captain Luan Min is wearing armor, holding a spear, walking on the tower, he is the son of the old general Luan Tingyu, there is martial bravery, follow Luan Tingyu's side, accumulate merit as a captain, stationed in Shexian County, this time, he led the army to defeat Zhang Di's first attack, with very few losses, which made him feel much more relaxed.
"Lord Captain, my father has already set up a banquet in Songhe Tower, and invited Miss Xiaoqi to accompany him. For the captain to celebrate Zhang Di's defeat today, I also ask the captain to appreciate it. A young man next to him said as he walked with a smile on his face.
"This is wartime, so I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to do this!" Luan Min hesitated for a while, shook his head and said, "The king is ready to come in person, before the king arrives, there is no room for loss in the county!" ”
"The captain laughed, who doesn't know the prestige of the king! I'm afraid that after the army outside the city learned the news of the king's coming, they couldn't even hold their swords and guns, and they would have been scared away long ago. Besides, it's only tonight, and the gentry in the city are all waiting for the captain, and I think these people will give money to support the captain to defend the city. The young man said with a smile. It's just that his face twitched, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Zhang Wei! Is it just a small victory, something to celebrate? Luan Min looked at the young man with a smile and said, "If you win a big victory in the future, then you can pay it back?" Alright, let's go! It's good to discuss with these people, after all, they still have a lot of family members in their hands, if they can be armed, they are also a force, by the way, Little Sparrow Girl, are you sure you can get there? ”
"Yes, absolutely. The captains are here, how can the little finch girl be able to? Zhang Wei nodded again and again after hearing this, his face was full of smiles, but his eyes were full of murder.
"Okay, clean up." Luan Min hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhang Wei beside him: "The city defense will be handed over to you tonight." ”
"Captain rest assured, the last general will never let a fly enter the city." Zhang Wei patted his chest and said.
"That's very good." Luan Min nodded and said happily. He had long wanted to have more contact with this little finch girl. This time I finally had a chance.
