After Laba, the daytime became shorter and shorter, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the end of the year.

Another new year is coming, and Li Jing in Yanjing City received the edict of the Son of Heaven to change the yuan. The Son of Heaven who stayed in Chengdu was not willing to be lonely, such as the towns are gathering soldiers and horses today, preparing to counterattack Huangchao, preparing to spend the first New Year in Chengdu, Li Yu issued an edict to reward the commanders around the country with a bunch of titles, and then couldn't wait to abandon the name of the year that has been used for six years, after the New Year, from New Year's Day, it will be the first year of Guangming.

Now the Son of Heaven will be able to issue an edict to change the year name and reward the festival commanders with some titles.

Li Yi was the Son of Heaven, but when he retreated to Jiannan Xichuan, even the good-looking Shence Army collapsed, and only a new army controlled by Eunuch Tian and Chen Weibian was left around him, the Son of Heaven's Long Wei and the imperial court's decree could hardly reach the basin in Shuzhong.

The towns such as Li Jing, Wang Chongrong, Gao Biao, and Zhou Bao were still under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, but when they were fighting with each other, the prestige of the Son of Heaven was just a banner they held on the surface.

Li Jing is respected as the emperor's uncle today, but in fact, everyone knows that Li Jing is not from the Li Tang royal family. This Emperor Uncle of the Son of Heaven, the King of Qin, and the Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses is only twenty-eight years old now, but because he controls several provinces and more than 100 states, holds half of the East, and when the land is vast and the army is elite, few people pay attention to Li Jing's young age, and this King of Qin is actually not a royal family.

On the afternoon at the end of the sixth year of Qianfu, this young imperial uncle was sitting on the terrace of the hot spring villa on the outskirts of Yanjing City, and he was calm and calm.

Next to him. The Pei sisters' twins leaned easily on the velvet upholstered chairs, one left and one right. A pleasant face. The two of them look exactly the same. It's like two indistinguishable lotus flowers.

The two sisters each divided four children for Li Jing, all of whom were twins like them. This is the second pair of twins born to each of the two sisters, and in the past few years, the two have given birth to eight children for Li Jing together, of which two pairs are dragon and phoenix twins, and two pairs are all girls. The two sisters with eight children, although they have a nanny, a wet nurse, and a maidservant, still make them tired. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming. The Chinese New Year will be busier. Li Jing simply took advantage of the last day of the New Year, let them leave their children in the palace, and then took them to the hot spring villa in the suburbs to relax.

As a result, Da Yue'er also came over, and she has almost given birth to three in a row in the past few years, and she is usually busy taking care of children all day long, so it is rare to have the opportunity to get along with Li Jing. This time, it was rare to put down the child and come over for a vacation with Li Jing. Among the other women in the family, Wang Guiniang is almost a cultivator, a monk at home. Don't ask about mundane things. Wan'er is at home to help take care of her and Gui Niang's children. Wang Haojun was busy with the four sisters of the Yu family before marrying into the palace, and continued to manage and stabilize her position in the family. Xiao Yulou and Zhang Hui'er are now sharing the affairs in the backyard of the palace. Prepare for the Yu family's acceptance of the royal mansion in the future. The other two women, Yang Lihua and Qian, were both pregnant and were raising babies in the house at this time.

"I know that you usually don't have children at ease, but you should always relax yourself like this." Li Jing said with a smile. "Children are getting older, and you can't spoil them too much. I plan that when my children reach the age of three, they will have to participate in preschool literacy and etiquette, and then officially enter the school at the age of seven. Our children must not be arrogant and accustomed to life, ignorant of grains and diseases, and ignorant of human suffering. ”

When Sister Hua heard this, she said with some concern: "Won't it be too harsh?" The girls also have to learn martial arts, labor? ”

"Of course!"

"Why?"

"Because this world is very cruel, we can't let our children live in a greenhouse from a glass building from an early age, we have to let them know the cruelty of the world outside the world, and know the wind, frost, rain and snow in order to cultivate their stronger character and ability." Li Jing said very seriously.

Although the children are still young, Li Jing believes that the cultivation of children must start from the time of childhood.

Li Jing has many children, many wives and concubines, and more children. But Li Jing doesn't want to leave it alone when he is born, although it is not surprising that these children will be rich and prosperous in the future, but Li Jing hopes that his children will become elites, not a group of parasites.

He has always believed that having more children is also an advantage, and letting children become elites will allow them to have more choices when choosing heirs in the future, rather than being the tallest of the shorter. As for the inheritance of the eldest son, Li Jing did not intend to do it completely. His heir should be a capable man, not determined solely by descent and order of seniority.

The two sisters are the kind of traditional women who listen to men in major matters, and they have no objection to Li Jing's decision. Compared with the consideration of their children's future, they are more concerned about Da Yue'er at the moment. "How is Sister Yue'er?"

Da Yue'er came to make warm soup together today, and she was very happy, but after Li Jing told her a news, she sadly locked herself in the room and couldn't come out.

"The Bohai Kingdom is about to die, and Yue'er, as the princess of Bohai, is naturally in a bad mood at the moment." Li Jing replied a little nonchalantly. In fact, the news received at noon made Li Jing frown a little.

The Bohai State is located in the east of the Haidong, is a prosperous country in the northeast with a population of 5 million, especially now that the Bohai has long lost the fierceness of the founding of the country, and after turning into an agricultural regime, it is very stable. As the backyard neighbors of the Qin Domain, the Bohai Sea has a huge appearance, but they are actually weak, and they are completely friendly to the Qin Domain. It was a good ally of the Qin Domain to stabilize the rear and shield the invasion of the nomadic tribe people in the northeast and north.

But now, Li Jing has just received the news that the Bohai Kingdom has been fighting against the Heishui tribe further north before, and there are only small losses. But this time, the Heishui Department got the support of the Khitan and broke the Bohai Navy, the border defense line of the Bohai Sea collapsed, and the alliance of the three major clans of Heishui and Khitan and Murowei swept south, as if entering a no-man's land.

Huaiyuan Mansion, Anyuan Mansion, Anbian Mansion, and Tieli Mansion of the Bohai State have been lost successively, and the coalition forces have been killed all the way to Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, and now the Bohai royal court has retreated to Xiande Mansion in Zhongjing. Urgently sent someone to ask Li Jing for help.

At present, the Bohai State still controls only seven prefectures. If they are defeated again. It was about to withdraw into Buyeo Mansion, and behind Zhongjing Mansion and Buyeo Mansion, those former Bohai territories had already been ceded to the Qin Domain. If the Bohai Sea is destroyed, then the Qin army will also lose the Haidong barrier.

This sudden battle situation surprised Li Jing very much, and even the staff office did not expect it.

Both the Heishui and the Bohai Kingdom were both the Esodian Ministry, but the Bohai State was the Sogdian Ministry, and the Sogdian Ministry, which was deeply influenced by the Central Plains. It gradually changed to an agrarian regime, but the Heishui tribe further north has maintained a nomadic tradition, cruising among the worst white mountains and black waters. When the Bohai Sea was strong, it continued to expand to the northeast, squeezing the territory of the Black Water Division, attacking and conquering them. It's just that for more than 200 years, the Blackwater tribe has not surrendered to the Bohai Kingdom, and now when the Bohai Sea is declining, the Blackwater tribe still maintains their strong hunting skills.

And all this, they got the help of the Khitan and Mobei Murowei people. In one fell swoop, the Bohai people were defeated.

The Bohai people were defeated, and there was actually a little contribution from Qin Fan. The war between the Bohai Sea and the Blackwater tribe. On the surface, the Qin clan vigorously sold all kinds of ordnance to the Bohai Kingdom, but secretly, in order to prevent the Bohai Kingdom from becoming bigger, he quietly sold the old redressed ordnance to the Heishui Ministry, which was originally just for the balance of the Haidong region.

But when the Khitan and Murwei strongly supported the Black Water Ministry, the balance was immediately broken.

I have to say that the revenge of the Khitans came quickly, and the last time the Qin army went on a northern expedition, they shook a shot and broke the Dongxi tribe. As a result, now the Khitan immediately retaliated back, and they were very smart not to directly counterattack Xi Jing, or to harass the border of western Liao, but instead pulled in the Mobei Murwei Department to jointly support the fierce barbarian army of the Black Water Spirit, and chose to use the weak Bohai Sea as a breakthrough.

The intention of the Khitan people is obvious, with the goal of the Bohai Sea, to unite the three major tribes of Khitan, Murowei and Heishui. Destroy the Bohai Sea, divide the three families, and grow their strength together, and then compete with the Qin army in the northeast.

Bohai is now weak, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

The agrarian civilization of 5 million people had a weak army, but the Bohai State had the population, craftsmen, food, ordnance and skills needed by countless nomadic tribes. Dividing up and annexing the Bohai Kingdom can immediately increase the strength of the three major clans by several orders in an instant.

This is indeed a very sharp sword, and the enemy will be saved!

If Li Jing abandons the Bohai Sea, then he will sit back and watch the Khitan enemy become strong. But if it is saved, the Qin army will not have much advantage in the unfamiliar territory of the Bohai Sea, and even the logistics supply of grain and grass will be a big problem.

If there are fewer troops, it will be difficult to solve the problem, and if there are too many troops, logistics will drag down the army.

Moreover, at the moment, when the Qin army was preparing to solve Li Quanzhong and send troops to seize the key to Yiding Erzhou, Li Jing found that he had to run thousands of miles to Haidong to fight against the Hu cavalry barbarian army, which was really annoying.

As the old saying goes, things never go your way you want it to.

"Tell Yue'er that I won't ignore Bohai, and I won't ignore the safety of the big clan. Qin Fan and Bohai are allies, and I and the King of Bohai are even more sons-in-law, how can I sit idly by and see death without help? Li Jing got up, "You guys have a good day here, and I'll arrange for someone to send you back to the city tomorrow morning." Now, I'll go back to Yanjing first. ”

Out of the villa, Li Jing turned over and rode on the horse with the guards on the wilderness in the middle of winter, leaving helplessness, anger, and dissatisfaction behind.

Entering the city, dismounted in front of the palace, entered the political hall, and just sat down, wearing a solemn and ostentatious crimson collared robe, lined with a tall village, and a gentle smile on his face walked in. She sat down in front of Li Jing and looked at him with a pair of elegant, noble, and charming eyes.

Looking at Li Jing, who was a little depressed, Gongsun Lan, the female marquis of the Qin Domain, the chief intelligence chief exhaled like an orchid, "San Lang, why don't you stay in the villa for a while, let the provincial court deal with these small things." ”

"It's not a trivial matter, it's a big event that is urgent and full of deadly threats." Li Jing picked up the pen and spread out the paper to write the warrant of King Qin. "The threat of the Khitan and the combination of the Murowei and the Heishui Department is too great, and you can also see that the former Bohai Sea, the prosperous country of Haidong, was almost wiped out under their iron hooves. If the Bohai Kingdom dies, the consequences will be unimaginable. In any case, we cannot allow such a group of barbarians to run rampant in our backyard. Now, we must fight back!
