"Thank you." Fan Lihua's face was a little cold, although she was thanking, she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Li Hao said: "Can you talk about two sentences alone?" ”

Fan Lihua shook her head and said indifferently: "No need, I know what you have to say." ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Then tell me, what do I want to say." ”

Fan Lihua said: "I want to keep filial piety for my father for three years, and I will talk about marriage three years later." ”

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, it seems that Fan Lihua is still very smart, knowing that he wants to marry her, but now Fan Lihua refuses on the grounds of filial piety, he really has no way at all.

Li Hao sensed something from her cold attitude and asked, "Do you resent me?" ”

Fan Lihua shook her head: "I can't talk about resentment, but the death of my father and my brother has something to do with you." ”

Li Hao was silent when he heard this, indeed, if he hadn't captured Fan Lihua and threatened to marry her before the battle, Ashina Helu would not have been able to accuse Fan Lihua of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

In fact, what makes Ashina Helu the most depressed is the bride price, if Fan Lihua marries Li Hao, Tubo will definitely come to ask for the bride price, which is 200,000 taels of gold, and the relationship between the two countries will be bad because of this, which is the reason why Ashina Helu is angry.

"I'm sorry." Li Hao didn't know what to say, he could only say sorry, he sincerely apologized.

Fan Lihua saw his apologetic face, and her heart softened, and said, "Don't worry, after three years, I will think about this matter carefully." ”

Li Hao was immediately ecstatic when he heard this, what does this mean, it means that Fan Lihua has already intended to marry him, but he just has to wait three more years, anyway, he and Fan Lihua are now long-lived physiques, and three years is nothing.

But Fan Lihua had just experienced a drastic change in her life, and Li Hao couldn't be too happy, so he could only smile slightly and said, "Okay, don't say three years, I am willing to wait for you in thirty years." As he spoke, he reached out to hug Fan Lihua.

Fan Lihua raised her hand and spread his arms, and said, "You can't touch me in the future." ”

Li Hao was stunned there, his heart was full of mixed tastes, and his joy seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, cold from head to toe, only to hear Fan Lihua say again: "Don't say light words to me, I must rely on my own ability to gain a foothold in the Tang Army, besides, I have heard of your Tang Dynasty officialdom, whether it is between ministers or generals, you can't be too close, so it's good for you and me." ”

Li Hao wanted to tell him that with his current status, he really didn't have to worry about this, but since Fan Lihua said so, he couldn't object, so he could only nod his head: "Okay, I respect all your decisions." ”

The sky was getting dark, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves rumbled outside the city, Fan Lihua suddenly frowned, and Li Hao explained: "It's my people, don't worry." ”

Fan Lihua nodded, and soon, Xue Rengui poured into the city with five thousand cavalry to meet Li Hao.

Li Hao ordered the whole army to rest here for one night, and return to the city tomorrow, and the army settled down in the ancient city of Loulan.

Early the next morning, Li Hao led the army back to the city, he was Fan Lihua on the left, Xue Rengui on the right, the three of them rode the three most horsemen and walked at the forefront of the team, and these three people were the three strongest generals in the world, on the way, Li Hao looked at Fan Lihua, and then looked at Xue Rengui, happy and secretly thought: "The talent of the world has been exhausted in my bag, and next, I have to do a good job." ”

After returning to Fu Qi City, Li Hao immediately wrote a song, showing that he had successfully dug the corner of the Western Turk wall, and the first general of the Western Turks, Fan Lihua, threw himself into the Tang Dynasty, and carefully described the course of the matter.

Ten days later, Song Shu was sent to Chang'an by 800 miles of expedited, Li Shimin read the chapter after the dragon heart Dayue, Fan Lihua's name, he heard of it, because before Xue Rengui and Li Daozong handed back the battle report mentioned Fan Lihua, Li Daozong was defeated by Fan Lihua, Xue Rengui and Fan Lihua fought hundreds of rendezvous and failed to win, Li Hao's Song Shu also said that he and Fan Lihua fought for 200 rounds before winning by luck, it can be seen that this Fan Lihua is indeed not simple.

The next day, Li Shimin discussed with the ministers how to reuse Fan Lihua, after all, Fan Lihua and Xue Rengui are different, Xue Rengui started from a white body, the foundation is too thin, and Fan Lihua is different, she is a Western Turkic general, and now she comes to Toucheng, naturally it is not an ordinary position that can be fooled, such as the loss of thinking power, after he threw himself into the Tang Dynasty, he directly became the general of the left leading army, and this Fan Lihua, especially in the loss of thinking power, so it must be discussed with the ministers.

The generals are okay, they all believe in Li Hao's eyesight, because Fan Lihua was recommended by Li Hao, and they don't have much opinion, thinking that they should do what Li Hao wants, and let Fan Lihua serve as the general of Qinghai Wei and command 40,000 soldiers and horses.

And the ministers are all against it, and there are many reasons for opposition, the biggest reason is: Fan Lihua is a daughter, and the Tang Dynasty is not without one, and letting a woman be a general will insult the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

There are still many people who believe that Fan Lihua is the future of Fanbang to take refuge, and suddenly let him command the heavy troops on the frontier, I am afraid that it will be a big trouble, and Fan Jinhai, the general of Juyong Guan, is a typical example.

The first reason makes Li Shimin frown, these rotten Confucians despise women, which makes Li Shimin very unhappy, not that Li Shimin does not despise women, but Li Shimin uses his talents, heroes do not ask where they come from, and they do not distinguish between men and women, what he values most is whether this person is talented or not.

The second reason is that Li Shimin has a little headache, indeed, Fan Lihua just came from Fanbang to surrender, so let her be a border general, which is not in line with the rules, and it is also a bit dangerous, if she is pretending to vote, then the Tang Frontier is also in danger.

The next day, Li Shimin summoned Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ji and other important ministers to the Ganlu Hall to continue to discuss the matter.

Li Shimin is still very concerned about this matter, after all, he knows that Li Hao, as the general of Tiance Mansion, cannot stay in Qinghai all the time, and Xue Rengui wants to conquer Goguryeo, this position of Qinghai Wei is particularly important, and a capable and reliable person must be recruited to take it.

After three days of discussion, the result was finally discussed, and Peng Hai was sent to serve as the general of Qinghai Wei, Xue Rengui returned to Chang'an to prepare for the expedition to the east, and Fan Lihua returned to Chang'an for the pilgrimage to replace Peng Hai as the general of the right Xiaowei.

Two days later, Peng Hai led the team to set off to Qinghai, and arrived in Qinghai Wei a month later, and read the holy decree to Xue Rengui and Fan Lihua, the holy decree only said to let Fan Lihua go to Chang'an for pilgrimage, and did not mention any appointment, Li Hao frowned after learning the news, it seems that the position of the general of Qinghai Wei, Fan Lihua did not get it, you can guess without thinking, it must be the group of civil officials in the court who obstructed it, it seems that he is not in the court, this group of old things began to make small moves again.

Peng Hai and Xue Rengui spent two days handing over, and then Li Hao invited them to dinner, which was regarded as catching the wind for Peng Hai, and also practicing for Xue Rengui and Fan Lihua.

The next day, Xue Rengui and Fan Lihua left Fu Qian City, Li Hao personally went out of the city to see each other, looking at the back of Xue Rengui and Fan Lihua leading the team away, Li Hao sighed leisurely: "These two people will definitely become the two pillars of Datang in the future!" ”

Peng Hai was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Lord Wang, is this Fan Lihua really so talented?" ”

Li Hao turned his head and smiled at him, and said, "If you can have half of her talent, you can also become the pillar of the country." ”

If someone else hears this, they will definitely be angry, which is too contemptuous of people, but Peng Hai is loyal, and he admires Li Hao very much, and believes in Li Hao's eyesight, since Li Hao said so, he naturally believes it, nodded and said slowly: "This woman can be so praised by the prince, she must be talented." ”

Li Hao smiled and said, "Okay, don't say more, let's go back, I'm afraid I won't be here for long, and I still have a lot of things to tell you." ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Peng Hai followed Li Hao's side and returned to the city together.

After returning to the city, Li Hao invited Peng Hai to his study and planned the training method of Qinghai Wei to him, Qinghai Wei only has 40,000 people, and it will definitely become the main force to attack Tubo in the future, although Tubo is short of troops this year, but after a year or two, it is not a problem to reorganize hundreds of thousands or even 200,000 troops, so Li Hao's requirements are very high, and Qinghai Wei must be the elite of the elite.

Although the training plan formulated by Li Hao is not as perverted as the special forces and the Xuanjia Army, Peng Hai was already quite shocked after seeing it, why was he shocked, because it was too hard.

Seeing his puzzled eyes, Li Hao smiled and said: "I know, my training plan is a bit difficult, but you also know that the more sweat a soldier sweats during training, the less blood will be shed on the battlefield." ”

Peng Hai nodded when he heard this: "The prince is right." ”

Li Hao said again: "The training is hard, the food and lodging must keep up, three meals a day, one meal can not be less, if there is a night training, you must add a supper, and the meal must be full, the dishes must be good, eat meat every two days, no saving, military spending is not enough, although the application to the imperial court, there is this king, any military expenditure is not a problem, Qinghai Wei is the key to breaking through Tibet, how much money you spent, Your Majesty will not care, Your Majesty will only care about whether Qinghai Wei can capture some cities, understand?" ”

"Yes! Subordinates understood! Peng Hai shouted his order.

"It's good to understand." Li Hao continued, "Qinghai Wei is not only training so simple, but also serving as the important task of guarding the border, and then the Qinghai Metropolitan Protectorate will build another city, and a large number of people will migrate over, the safety of the entire Qinghai Metropolitan Protectorate is tied to Qinghai Wei, you don't have to take it lightly, this king is not afraid to tell you the truth, the Garqin Mausoleum of Tubo is an extremely powerful figure, he knows the purpose of our establishment of Qinghai Guard, the existence of Qinghai Guard, has seriously threatened the safety of their Tibet, and will definitely send troops to attack, Therefore, you must patrol day and night to prevent the Tibetans from attacking, and if something goes wrong, this king will not be able to protect you. ”

When Peng Hai heard this, he clenched his fists solemnly and said: "Don't worry, the prince dares to attack, and his subordinates will definitely let him return!" ”

"Okay." Li Hao nodded and said, "After a while, the weather will warm up, and the craftsmen will go to build the Qinghai Guard, and you will personally lead the troops to guard it, in case Tubo comes to make trouble and defend the border...... It's not that simple. ”

"Yes!"
