Chapter 823: Hi
(Today's fifth chapter is delivered, and nearly 20,000 words of the fifth update have been completed, asking for recommendation tickets, monthly passes, and reward support!) )
In the first year of Guangming, the war of rebellion entered a new stage.
First of all, Li Jing drove all the Huangchao troops in Zhuzhou County east of the Bianhe River in eastern Henan to the west of the Bianhe River, and then Zheng Jin led the Guanzhong coalition army to defeat the grass thieves in Longweipi, and then many feudal towns that originally surrendered to Huangchao suddenly returned to Tang anyway, and Huangchao withdrew from Chang'an in embarrassment.
In the Hebei and Jianghuai regions, which are behind enemy lines, the situation has also begun to develop in a better direction. Li Jing successively defeated the towns of Hebei and the feudal towns, and Gao Biao, Zhou Bao and others also suppressed many anti-thief teams in the southeast.
This made Li Yi, the son of heaven sitting in Chengdu, moved and gratified, and he believed that the idea of temporarily avoiding the edge of the thieves put forward by the ministers at the beginning, retreating first and then advancing, and completely surrounding and annihilating the grass thieves had been initially realized. The three-hundred-year-old Li Tang is by no means something that can be subverted by a few salt dealers.
However, while Huangchao was losing and retreating, and the Tang army continued to receive good news, Li Yi suddenly found that he had not paid attention in the past few years, and Li Jing's army had actually become 400,000 people. Right now, Li Jing is in the far northeast, and he has invested four armies to fight at the same time against almost all the Hu soldiers outside the Tang army in the northeast. The total number of soldiers and horses dispatched by the four armies was as high as 250,000, and the combat troops alone had 120,000 people and 24 main forces.
Moreover, Li Jing still has the spare strength to maintain a 100,000-strong heavy army group in Hebei and a 100,000-strong heavy army group in Jianghuai Shandong.
Moreover, this army also has extremely amazing combat effectiveness, and in the last year, Li Jing led this Qin army. He successively defeated the Goguryeo, Bohai, Khitan, and Dongxi. Liu Yue, Li Keyong, Han Jian, Wang Jingchong. Huang Chao and Gao Biao seized the vast areas of Liaoxi, Andong, Rehe, Hebei, Beiping, Huaidong and Huaibei.
Emperor Li Yi only remembered that on the roster of soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, the Qin army was originally called the Zhenguo Army, but it was just a military town with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under its jurisdiction.
Exercise!
Li Yi couldn't help but scold his mother, who gave Li Jing the power to expand so much?
But looking back, Li Yi found that it was he who handed over these rights to Li Jing little by little. As a result, today's Li Jing not only has a large number of soldiers. And he also has a reputation that is the envy of the marshals of all towns in the world.
He personally wrote to the world and honored Li Jing as the emperor's uncle. He personally gave Li Jing the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the king of Qin, gave him a fake Huang Yue, made a festival, and supervised the military inside and outside the capital, and controlled the soldiers and horses in all towns in the world. He also added the position of the three princes to him at one time, and also added the position of the three provinces of Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling, and Shizhong.
Up to now, Li Jing has almost set up his own court and mobilized soldiers and horses. In charge of the military and government of the world, there is no need to go through him.
Previously, Li Yi was frightened by Huang Chao and fled all the way to Xichuan. In order to gain Li Jing's support, he had to hand over these rights that should not belong to his courtiers to Li Jing. Now, with the successive victories of the Tang army in Guanzhong, there are more than 200,000 troops controlled by the Yang Fugong brothers for him. Li Yi's mentality began to change again, he felt that Huang Chao was no longer to be afraid now, and even if it was Tian Lingzi's brothers, their threat to him was far less serious than Li Jinglai's.
In his heart, Li Yi has already decided that Li Jing is the biggest threat to his imperial power today.
The Yellow Nest has not been extinguished yet, but Li Yi has already begun to plan how to deal with Li Jing.
Indiscriminately rewarding the civil and military soldiers of the Qin Domain, this was Li Yi's first step of temptation.
This trick may seem simple, but it works well.
At least during this time, Li Jing has been busy cleaning up the mess caused by this incident.
During this time, he was not very happy, because of Li Yi's moves, under Li Jing, there were nine more county kings, eighteen princes, thirty-six county dukes, seventy-two county dukes, and one hundred and eight princes. For the dukedom alone, there were one hundred and twenty-six. And before that, there were only thirteen dukedoms in total. Not to mention, there are thousands of other knighthood recipients at all levels.
This is not counting the countless Tongping chapter affairs, generals, generals, assassins, county orders, generals at all levels, and so on.
In this way, the order of the Qin Domain's official rank and rank was completely chaotic.
Regret the official and be stingy, and the king will be in great trouble. Abuse of officials and lords is a great disaster for the country.
When the order of the official rank is out of order, the order of the entire regime will also be in chaos.
Li Jing is good at tea and not good at drinking, when it comes to the amount of alcohol, even he himself can't understand how much alcohol there is, anyway, he doesn't have much time to get drunk. It is related to the mood, when you are in a bad mood, you will get drunk with a few glasses of fruit wine. When you are in a good mood, you can drink a pound of Wuliangye, and you can still dance the sword with both hands to the sky.
However, Li Jing rarely drinks alcohol, and it is easy to make mistakes when drinking.
But during this time, Li Jing gradually began to drink more, and if he was asked to explain, he would definitely not admit that there were many problems in the Qin Domain now. The Qin army is like a string tighter and tighter, although it has not reached the point of worrying for the time being, but Li Jing is still worried, this is a bad beginning, although the Qin army is strong, but if the string collapses tighter and tighter, there will be a time to break after all.
And the Qin army is composed of countless such chains, and the first chain is broken, which may evolve into a chain reaction at any time.
A thousand miles of embankment, destroyed in an anthill.
Li Jing's explanation to his mother Han is to drink some wine to relieve fatigue and activate blood circulation. But in fact, he has started drinking more recently, and a large part of the reason is because of Liu Yunniang. Liu is not an ordinary woman, she can ride a horse and shoot arrows, can lead soldiers to fight, and of course can drink.
Liu's words are very absolute: people who don't drink are unreliable, and men who don't drink are even more unreliable. If it's a man, he drinks, and if it's a real man, he drinks spirits.
Li Jing is indeed a little uncomfortable in his heart, and if he has a beautiful young woman to drink with him, he can still refuse. After coming and going, Li Jing's worries did not decrease much, but his alcohol consumption increased a lot.
The Liu family still didn't know the news that Li Keyong was alive, and Li Jing had already passed on the news to the people who knew the news, and no one was allowed to spread the news out of the road, let alone tell the Liu family. Li Jing also moved the Liu family to a new mansion and added many guards to protect the safety of their mothers. In fact, Li Jing was worried that Liu knew that Li Keyong was still alive. will abandon him.
Someday. Li Jing tentatively said to Liu Yunniang: "The bones I found last time, I always feel that it may not be used by Li Ke. What are you going to do if Li Keyong is still alive? Stay, or choose to leave? ”
Liu Yunniang's face was pale, and then she smiled slightly: "What do you mean by this?" Didn't they all confirm that the bones were his? Besides, it's been half a year since he was young, and if he was really alive, it would be impossible for him to not have the slightest rumor by now. In fact. I've already figured it out. Although a husband and wife, after all, fate is over. I don't think about him anymore, now I'm just thinking about how to bring up the two children around me. ”
"That's it?"
"And with you!" Liu added, and Li Jing felt that this sentence was not a lie, because he felt a strong sincerity. But this did not completely satisfy him, because Liu did not question his choice and make a choice. She really thinks that Li Keyong is dead, so she has these words, but if Li Keyong appears, what choice will she make?
The two like each other. Can it be worth the conjugal love between them?
"Drink! It's a waste of thinking about what to do with things that don't exist. Pour it full. Iron man, real man, a mouthful! Liu Yunniang poured Li Jing another glass of Wuliangye, which is strange to say, Liu Yunniang not only likes to drink, but she is different from most women. The eldest princess of the East China Sea, Li Hui'er and Gongsun Lan, also like to drink, but they love to drink red wine. Zhang Hui'er and Xiao Yulou, Wang Haojun, Pei's sisters, and Da Yue'er also drank wine, but they only drank those colorful and sweet and sour fruit wines.
"Well, that's kind of interesting, too. Drink liquor, happy. Those who lead the troops need to be happy. No matter what happens, you must not be in a dilemma for half a day. It has to be the same as drinking liquor, take a sip and be decisive. On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and there is no room for hesitation. You must be decisive, whether you win or lose, you have to make a decision early. ”
Recently, Liu Yunniang has also felt a little worried.
Now she has made up her mind to leave the past behind her, stride forward, and start a new life. To be honest, Li Jing is a good man, even if he has a lot of women, in addition to his two wives and a number of concubines, and there are also women outside. But after all, she didn't ask for a name, she just needed a reliable shoulder and a broad chest to lean on, and she didn't care about that. And, in fact, since these days, letting Li Jing into her life has indeed made her feel a kind of relaxation and happiness that she has never felt when she was with Li Keyong in the past.
Whether it's in bed or under the bed, this is a man who makes it difficult for women to say no.
But the only thing that worries her is her children, her and Li Keyong's two children. A few days ago, her three-year-old daughter Huniu regarded Li Jing as her husband and called him Aye, and yesterday, Li Luoluo, who was more than two years old, also followed Niuniu and called Li Jing Aye.
Although Li Jing was not unhappy, he responded with a smile and hugged his two children to play with them.
But the more Li Jing is like this, the more worried she is.
After all, Li Jing has always been hostile to Li Keyong, and Li Keyong also died in the battle with Li Jing. Now the children are not sensible, but if they grow up in the future and understand that they have always recognized their father's enemy as their father, how much harm will it do to them?
And letting her husband's children recognize Li Jing as their father is too cruel to Li Keyong.
If it goes on like this, something will happen sooner or later.
There is another thing that also gives Liu Yunniang a headache, she should have had her menstrual affair yesterday. Her menstrual affairs have always been punctual, but yesterday it was late. Today, it has not appeared. Moreover, she felt that her breasts were a little faintly swollen.
She is past the age of development, and at this time her tits are swollen and the menstrual period is delayed, which makes her think of a possibility that she has already given birth to a child.
Maybe she's pregnant.
Counting the time, this kid will never be used by Like.
Except for Li Keyong, she has only slept with Li Jing alone.
If she is really pregnant, then this child can only be Li Jing's.
This possible pregnancy made her heart upset. She told herself that since she chose to be with Li Jing, then she should give birth to this child. Although Li Jing has many wives and concubines and many children, this is the crystallization of the two and has important significance.
But she thought in her heart that if she gave birth to this child, it seemed that it would not be fair to Hu Niu and Luoluo, the two children born to her ex-husband.
She had been hesitant to tell Li Jing the news, but she wanted to wait until she confirmed that she was really pregnant before telling him, so as not to make him happy. This matter has been held in her mind for many days, and her body's reaction is becoming more and more familiar, although she has not seen the doctor for a long time, her intuition tells herself that she really has.
When she was alone at home, she touched her flat lower abdomen as usual, and looked at the two children in front of her who were innocently playing, and she didn't know what to do!
That night, after Li Jing finished dealing with it, he really came to Liu Yunniang's house.
Liu welcomed Li Jing into the room, and suddenly said, "You go and invite a doctor tomorrow." ”
"What's wrong? What is wrong with you? Li Jing asked with concern.
"Just get a doctor tomorrow." Liu Yunniang said calmly.
Li Jing was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Zhao Jiang to immediately invite the best doctor in Yanjing City, the little divine doctor Liu Yueru.
Liu Yueru finished giving Liu Yunniang a pulse, and said to Li Jing with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Madame, this is a joy." The pulse is very stable, and both adults and children are very good. Next, as long as you pay attention to rest and nutrition, everything will be fine. ”
"Pregnant?" Li Jing asked in surprise.
Liu Yueru nodded, "Madame, this is the second child, so as long as you pay attention to maintenance, it will be very smooth." ”
Li Jing's family's body is regularly checked by Xiao Yixian. Li Jing has more prosperous children and grandchildren than ordinary people, and at the age of less than thirty, he already has twenty-two sons, eighteen daughters, a total of forty children, which can be described as many sons and daughters, and the branches are luxuriant.
So many children were basically diagnosed by her and delivered with a baby. She said that Liu's happiness would definitely not be wrong.
Li Jing's heart was full of surprises, no matter which woman conceived a child for him, as long as it was his woman, he was happy.
Seeing Li Jing so happy, Liu Yunniang's heart was full of complexity, and finally decided to give birth to the child.
The next day, when the maids Red Eagle and Qingque accompanied Liu to the street to buy fabrics for the children's clothes, two guests sat in the private seat on the second floor of the Xiangrui Teahouse on Xishi Street in Yanjing City, facing the window. The tea guest facing the stairs was elegantly pulling the tea foam from the bowl with the lid of the bowl, while the other guest had a full beard and a soft hat, and the eyes under the hat lid seemed to be looking at the street scene casually.
Liu Yunniang, who was escorted by a team of female guards on the street downstairs, didn't notice that when she appeared under the window, the bearded man behind the window on the second floor of the teahouse was excited! (To be continued......)
