Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 72
The first year of Wude was an extremely turbulent year for the newly born Li Tang Dynasty.The newly born Li Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty is brewing a new fission.There are Turks and Tubo who are ready to move, and now the Turks are sharpening their knives, which makes Li Yuan, who is over fifty years old, heartbroken.

Li Yuan also had no good way to deal with the Turkic cavalry who came and went like the wind.Although Li Shimin captured Xue Renguo alive and destroyed the Western Qin Dynasty, the northwest of the Tang Dynasty was temporarily stabilized.However, Liang Dushi of Liang Guo was not dead-hearted. On the fourth day of July, taking advantage of the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Xiqin Xueju, Liang Shidu personally led more than [-] cavalry to invade Lingzhou, and was defeated by Hussar General Lin Xingcan.In early September, Liang Shidu invaded Yanzhou again.Duan Decao, the general manager of Yanzhou, did not fight according to his armor. When the morale of the Liang division was slack, he sent troops to attack. On Baili Road, many people were captured.

However, Liang Shidu's evil intentions were not dead, and he invaded Lingzhou in the first ten days of November. This time, the Turkic people sent more than [-] troops to station in Yezhuling.Master Liang was nothing to worry about, both Lin Xingcan and Yang Ze were well-versed in soldiers, but what worried Li Yuan most was the more than [-] Turkic cavalry.

Once the Turkic people go to battle in person, Lingzhou will definitely not be able to resist.However, today, it is very cold, and it is extremely difficult to increase troops in Lingzhou.If there is no reinforcements, I am afraid that Yanzhou and Lingzhou will no longer be owned by Datang.

For this reason, not only did Li Yuan not sleep well, but even Li Shimin's joy in defeating Xue Ju and destroying Xiqin was also diluted a lot.In his dream yesterday, Li Yuan even dreamed that the Turkic soldiers killed Lingzhou until blood flowed like rivers and bones piled up like mountains.Looking at the snowflakes floating in the sky again, Li Yuan felt very bad.

Just when Li Yuan was about to despair, Li Xiuning entered the palace with a quilt.

Seeing Li Xiuning coming in, Li Yuan's inexplicably irritable mood immediately improved.

"Sanniang knew that Daddy was bored, so she brought a new mattress?"

Li Xiuning smiled and said, "Daddy, you don't know this is a good thing!"

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how difficult the Tang Dynasty was, he would not treat Li Yuan badly.In fact, Li Yuan would never wake up from the cold like Chen Ying. He was covered with a good bearskin mattress, which was very effective in keeping him warm.When the emperor wants to support the world, what he values ​​most is not wealth, but the filial piety of his sons and daughters.

Li Yuandao: "San Niang, what do you want? Except for dissolving the marriage with Chai Shao, Dad promises you!"

Li Xiuning was inexplicably depressed when she heard this.In fact, she did intend to break up the nominal marriage with Chai Shao, but before she could speak, Li Yuan blocked the conversation.

Li Xiuning's face slowly sank.

Li Yuan had no choice but to explain patiently: "Sanniang, please bear with me for a while, Dad also has difficulties. Although our Tang Dynasty says that it has a beautiful appearance, it is actually a troubled time. This community really can't stand the toss!"

Li Xiuning retorted: "Then is it necessary to ruin the happiness of my daughter's life?"

"It doesn't mean it will last forever!" Li Yuan sighed and said, "Behind Chai Shao is Chai Clan, and Chai Clan and Guanlong Group are intertwined, and it affects the whole body!"

The Chai family of Chai Shao is not actually a Han Chinese.Their ancestors belonged to the A Chai tribe of the Tuyuhun tribe of the Xianbei (historically known as Alu). During the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the surnames of the Xianbei people across the country were sinicized collectively, and A Chailu was renamed Chai.Although Li Xiuning also has Xianbei blood, she doesn't like Chai Shao.

A man who doesn't even have the courage to protect his own woman can be said to be a man's shame.Of course, Li Xiuning didn't change her mind at all. In fact, nomads are not as loyal to women and love as they are in later generations of film and television dramas. If you are the wind and sand, this is simply nonsense.When Temujin was down and down, he even threw away his wife. Minister Tuotuo used Temujin's wife to give birth to a son for him. Temujin didn't take it seriously and regarded him as his own son.

In fact, the same is true for Chai Shao, who reacts differently to his wife depending on their national habits.Among the nomads, a woman is just a tool to bear children. Any woman can take on this responsibility at any time, and she doesn't care at all.

This is Li Xiuning's heart knot, Li Xiuning will never forgive Chai Shao, but Chai Shao thinks that there is nothing wrong with him.

Li Yuan reached out to take the soft down jacket, and immediately felt a difference.

In fact, without Li Xiuning's explanation, Li Yuan could see the military value of down jackets and duvets at a glance. If down is used to make sleeping bags, this kind of airtight down sleeping bag will not cause frostbite or loss of personnel due to the cold even in the ice and snow.It was as if he was about to doze off, and someone sent him a pillow.

When he learned from Li Xiuning that Chen Yingcai, who invented the down quilt, was only 16 years old, Li Yuan's interest in him increased greatly.

……

Chen Ying followed Chen Qi all the way to the Zhuque Gate of the imperial palace, and entering the Zhuque Gate was considered to be entering the imperial city.Liang Zan and his entourage were left outside the gate and checked by the imperial guards. Fortunately, Chen Ying knew that Li Yuan had summoned him and did not bring his own weapon. He followed Chen Qi Road along Yong Road and passed through Taichang Temple by himself. .

Outside Chengtian Gate, Chen Ying was searched again, this time the search was very thorough, even taking off his boots and touching them again.Chen Qi saw that Chen Ying's face was a little unnatural, and immediately came up to explain: "General Chen, they are also responsible, and they didn't deliberately make things difficult for the general!"

Chen Ying's expression softened a little.Fortunately, this time it didn't take much time to enter Chengtianmen, the terrain opened up, and the surrounding palaces and towers gradually showed some momentum. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally came to the Tianjie outside Chengtianmen. Above, there are as many as a hundred ministers gathered here in twos and threes, most of them are dressed in scarlet robes, and there are no more than ten people in purple robes. Therefore, Chen Ying's arrival immediately caused a small commotion, and the surrounding civil and military ministers all speculated privately about this upstart identity of.

Chen Qi was worried about Li Yuanjiu waiting, and he was honest with the officials who came up to inquire about Chen Ying's identity.

Chen Qi suddenly pointed to the side hall and said: "General Chen is resting here for a while, our family is going to report!"

Chen Ying nodded.

Chen Qi took small steps and ran towards Tai Chi Hall.

The side hall in the palace city was treated only by senior ministers. The emperor didn't have time to summon them for a while, so they rested here and drank tea.This is the grace of the emperor, but most of the courtiers are not qualified to enjoy this honor.

Soon, Chen Ying knew that he was honored to be among those who were entitled to enjoy this grace.

"General Xuan Ningyuan Chen Ying has an audience!"

"General Xuan Ningyuan Chen Ying has an audience!"

Just when Chen Yinglian hadn't finished his cup of tea, he heard the voices of the imperial guards shouting from afar, and the voices were louder and louder.

Chen Ying quickly put it in the teacup and walked towards the Ganlu Hall.
