Chapter 672: Tiger Wife

(Thank you for your support, thank you for your support, thank you, thank you!) )

Yin Mountain, White Road.

The herald cavalry of King Shatuo rushed to all directions with the arrows of the Flying Tiger Son, and ordered the warriors of each department to assemble.

With the prestige of the Flying Tiger King Li Ya'er Shatuo, coupled with the official position of the newly awarded governor of Yinshan and the envoy of the camp north of Yinshan, the Hu tribes near Yinshan have responded to send troops.

In a short period of time, groups of Hu warriors came to gather every day. These warriors were strong and strong, and they were all knights by nature, and they did not even need to be equipped by Rick, they came in all directions on their horses, with bows and arrows on their backs, and swords on their shoulders.

This time, Li Keyong also gathered all his people.

Of the 20,000 young soldiers, Li Keyong left 5,000 people to stay in the camp, and the remaining 15,000 young and strong soldiers were assembled. In addition, the Liu family will also go south together, with her army of 3,000 young women.

Fifteen thousand crow troops, plus three thousand women's army.

This is not all the strength that Li Ke used, and the soldiers who were constantly pouring in from various departments were not counted.

Since receiving the holy decree, Li Keyong's mood has opened up as if it were a day, and every day he is full of smiles, immersed in the plans on various maps with the generals of Shatuo.

For those warriors who responded to the coming, Li Ke used great enthusiasm and generosity, and every night he would set up a banquet to welcome these leaders, and give the warriors who came good wine and barbecue. Between the wine glasses, Li Keyong would always loudly describe to these Hu horsemen the benefits of entering the customs to fight for Tang. It tells the story of the countless wealth and female population that the Uighurs gained by fighting the Tang Dynasty. All the Hu people were red-eyed.

Liu didn't like to attend such banquets. She likes to ride on horseback and inspect her 3,000 female soldiers.

Straddled the horse, Liu's eyes were like water, but with a faint coldness, as if he could see through everything.

Ten fingers are slender, and the complexion is slightly wheat-colored and healthy, but it is pink. A pair of red lips, smiling like a smile.

Three thousand green silks are up. On the top of his head, he pulled up a bun, inserted a golden hairpin, simple but capable, and tied a royal blue forehead on his forehead, with fiery red fireworks patterns on it. A lambskin narrow-sleeved leather jacket with small lapels is even more neat. Emei swept lightly, and there was no powder on the face, but it still couldn't hide that moving temperament.

In the north wind, the corners of the skirt are flying, like butterflies dancing in flowers. The expression was indifferent. But it is more like the goddess of Qionggong who does not eat fireworks in the world.

Liu listened to Li Ke's loud laughter in the wind in the distance, but he was a little stunned.

Li Keyong accepted the pardon, conferral and summoning of the imperial court. The decision to go south to Tang is very appreciated. But on the other hand, as Li Keyong's wife, she knows that Li Keyong's heart is not as good as it appears on the surface. On the surface, after Li Keyong's previous defeat against the Tang Dynasty, his whole person has changed greatly, and he has become no longer so sharp, and he has begun to respect and respect the Tang Dynasty.

But Liu knows that these are just appearances.

Li Keyong had revealed to her more than once that he wanted to establish a Shatuo kingdom.

Now his obedience to the imperial court is actually just Li Keyong learned the original lesson and changed his strategy. In his heart, he hated Li Tang more than anyone else.

The husband's plan is big!

Liu didn't know if all this was good or bad, and her heart was full of worry.

But as Li Keyong's wife, she had no choice but to support him wholeheartedly.

Li Keyong waited for nearly 5,000 grassland knights of various tribes in Yinshan, and then pulled out the tent and went south to enter the customs.

A huge team of horses marched forward, and Li Keyong set out to return to the Central Plains like his ancestors. The difference is that his ancestors had interceptions before the pursuers, and the future was uncertain.

In winter, the grassland is full of tall dead grass, and you can walk in it as if you are in a sea of yellow.

Not long after entering the customs, Li Keyong got the news that Chen Jingsi, the superintendent, had arrived with his uncle Li Youjin, Kang Junli, Li Kexiu and others.

Li Keyong personally sent guards to thirty miles away to welcome the group into the camp.

"Li Youjin has seen the clan!" In the Battle of the Northern Dynasty, Gai Yu proposed a plan to Li Keyong, asking Li Youjin to wait for Li Keyong to wait for the palace, and then let him take the initiative to surrender to the Tang army. It was by relying on Li Youjin's palace at that time that Li Keyong escaped from the encirclement. Later, although he fled thousands of miles, he was still blocked by Li Jing in Fengzhou, and the whole army was wiped out. But in any case, Li Youjin's performance at the beginning made Li Keyong and other Shatuo soldiers very respectful.

"Uncle can't do this, if it weren't for uncle, the Shatuo clan would have been wiped out." Li Ke solemnly avoided Li Youjin's gift, and then gave Li Youjin a heavy gift.

This time, the imperial court pardoned Li Keyong and transferred the Shatuo army into the Central Plains to quell the rebellion. However, in order to control the Shatuo tribe, although the imperial court sent Li Youjin with more than ten Shatuo generals to Li Keyong's camp. However, some generals such as Li Guochang and Li Qianzhong, as well as the families of Li Guochang and some generals, remained in Chang'an and were actually hostages.

After converging Li Youjin and other generals, the morale of the Shatuo army was even stronger. When the army entered Daibei, Li Keyong continued to send envoys, with his command banners and arrows, to Daibei, a territory that the Shatuo people had operated for several generations, and recruited troops and horses.

At the beginning of the anti-Tang Dynasty defeat, he fled to Mobei in a hurry, although he later laid a territory in the north of Yinshan, but the Shatuo tribe and the Daibei tribes that dissolved into Shatuo still mostly stayed here. Although the most elite Shatuo Qingzhuang was almost all searched by Li Jing, there were still many people here.

The Li family has been operating in Daibei for several generations and has a very high prestige.

Soon, wherever Li Keyong went, people came to join the army one after another, most of them were Shatuo, Sogdian, Uighur, Xi, Tatar and other Hu people, and some Han people from the northern borderlands. These people were originally close to the Shatuo tribe in the past, but after the defeat of Shatuo, these people were also suppressed, and they were not as happy as before. Rick made a comeback, and a large number of people came to defect.

When he set out from the north of Yinshan, there were 15,000 horsemen and 3,000 women's troops, and by now, Li Keyong had gathered a full 50,000 horses. Although these 50,000 horses. There is also a large part of them that can only be regarded as military auxiliaries. But even if you remove this part of the momentum. Li Keyong also had 30,000 generations of cavalry of various tribes in the north in his hands. Not counting Liu's 3,000 women's army. These 3,000 female soldiers are also cavalrymen, and they have been trained for two years.

With this abundant capital, Li Ke is full of spirit.

However, with 50,000 troops and tens of thousands of war horses, the logistical pressure is also very huge.

However, Li Keyong thinks that since he has become an official army, the old rule of food according to the boundary, this grain and grass will naturally come from the current Shangguan. The original enemy of the Hedong Jiedu envoy and the western camp of Hebei Zheng Congyan came to supply.

Li Keyong asked Liu to write a letter on his behalf and sent someone to Taiyuan to ask for food. In order to deter Zheng Congyan, Li Keyong directly asked Liu to double the number of the Shatuo Army, and wrote 100,000 on behalf of the Northern Railway.

The document was sent to Taiyuan, and after Zheng Congyan read it, he frowned.

Regarding the imperial court's desire to recruit An Shatuo and other Hu people into the customs to quell the rebellion, Zheng Congyan has always been opposed.

As the prime minister of the political affairs hall, he served as the envoy of the northern capital, Taiyuan Yin, and the eastern capital, and first served as the envoy of the northern camp to preside over the crusade against the Shatuo rebellion, and now he is also the commander of the camp in the west of Hebei, presiding over the rebellion against Hebei with the nine troops in Hedong. Zheng Congyan was a very prestigious and important minister in the court. Because of Li Jing's current attitude, Zheng Congyan is actually the commander-in-chief of the entire crusade against the Hebei rebels.

Zheng Congyan is of the same clan as Zheng Zheng, the former prime minister. They are all Xingyang Zheng's, known as 'Erzheng' in the world, although they are slightly inferior to the surnames of Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui, they are still highly respected. In his opinion, it is already a bit risky to use Tiande, Datong, and Xia Yin's Wufan. After all, the imperial court is gradually weakening, and if the Tibetan people are used to quell the rebellion, it is likely to give these Tibetan people a chance to sit on the throne, and they will not lose their fortune in the future.

Not to mention, the Shatuo, Xi, and Tatar tribes are even more dangerous, especially the rebellion of the Shatuo people before the Daibei was not long ago.

In the face of Li Ke's request for grain with the provocative taste of the '100,000 Northern Iron Cavalry', Zheng Congyan frowned for a long time, and then wrote a line of instructions on the back, "Qian Qianyi, Mi Qianshi!" ”

Zheng Congyan only gave Li Ke 1,000 yuan and 1,000 stone rice, according to Li Ke's claim of 100,000 yuan, it was equivalent to Shatuojun each person could get 10 yuan and more than a catty of rice.

This batch of food and reward money was quickly sent to Li Keyong's camp, and Li Keyong saw that Zheng Congyan actually only gave him such a small amount of money and food, which was even more stingy than sending Huazi away. On the spot, he was furious, drew his sword and cut off the desk in the tent, shouted at the guards, and wanted to lead the troops to Taiyuan to theorize with Zheng Congyan.

Li Siyuan stood in the tent, listening to Li Keyong's roar, worried in his heart. He knew that at such a time now, they must not be like before, they have no capital to dominate the court. Out of the tent, Li Siyuan did not immediately go to the order to gather troops and horses, but muttered for a while, turned his head and rushed to Liu's camp.

Liu was also taken aback when he heard Li Siyuan's report, and hurriedly went to Li Keyong's military tent.

"Husband, this is what you want to doom my Shatuo clan?" After Liu entered the tent, he said directly and loudly to Li Keyong.

Liu's words immediately calmed Li Keyong down. After a moment of silence, Li Ke said in a hateful voice: "But this breath is really unbearable!" ”

"If you can't bear it, you have to endure it, Han Xin also had the humiliation of his crotch back then, but he didn't do something big after the worst. The husband is now going to Zheng Congyan like this, except for taking humiliation on himself, there will be no result. If I am a husband, I should not go to Zheng Congyan at this time, but should go to Hebei! ”

"To Hebei?"

"The imperial court pardoned Shatuo and re-recruited Shatuo, in order to use Shatuo's soldiers to deal with the rebels in the four towns of Hebei. At present, the husband has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and this is the time to take the Hebei rebels to stand up. As long as I can win a battle, how can the imperial court not pay attention to my Shatuo's reasoning? As long as we fight better, the more the court will have to rely on us. At that time, the husband proposed to replace Zheng Congyan as the envoy of the Hedong Festival, but I am afraid that the imperial court will also seriously consider it! Liu Shi said eloquently.

Li Keyong's words immediately moved Li Keyong, and he slammed his fist on the table with the most reluctant, "According to Madame's opinion, Zheng Congyan, when the time comes, we will settle the old account with him and the new account, and the shame he added to me today will be repaid by him twice as much!"
