"Even though Chang'an is dangerous, after we go back, we might be able to win a few points!" Li Xiuning stretched his body, took out the topographic map, spread it on his knees, and gestured on the map with his slender fingers: "Now If it drags on, I'm afraid the estrangement will become bigger and the hope of relaxation will be even slimmer."

Chen Ying agreed with Li Xiuning's words very much, and murmured, "Wait to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is easy to change!"

Hearing this, Li Xiuning was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Waiting for leisure to change but old people's hearts are easy to change! Good poems, good poems, who wrote this?"

Chen Ying blinked, and said with a smirk, "Forgot, a scholar, I can't remember his name."

Chen Ying can copy poems, but not all of them.For example, this poem by Nalan Xingde is a sad love poem.If Li Xiuning asked him whose heart had changed?He really couldn't answer.As a matter of fact, Chen Ying stopped copying.

"It's such a pity that you can't remember your name with such a literary talent..." Li Xiuning was taken aback suddenly, looked at Chen Ying suspiciously and said, "Then you should be able to recite the whole poem, right?"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "If life is just as it was when you first saw it, why is the autumn wind sadly painting a fan? Waiting for leisure to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is easy to change."

Li Xiuning listened to these four poems with a dazed expression on his face, and murmured: "Why should such a talented person be abandoned by others..."

Chen Ying said solemnly: "Some people are very utilitarian and fickle. Although this poem expresses love on the surface, is it actually an excuse for reason? For example, Yang Yong's uncle (father-in-law) Yun Dingxing, but I didn't take into account too many sympathies, and when it's time to use the sword, I'm absolutely not polite!"

"The world is so cold, I've seen it too much!" Li Xiuning's eyes turned red slightly.She couldn't help thinking of what happened to her. When Li Yuan rebelled, the news spread to Chang'an.Li Xiuning became the daughter of a traitor and was captured by the officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. Chai Shao left Li Xiuning without hesitation and fled alone.But when Li Yuan occupied Huoyi and defeated Song Laosheng, the scenery was infinite for a while, and the descendants were like clouds.

Seeing that Li Yuan was about to succeed, Chai Shao shamelessly went to join Li Yuan.Then, in order to beg for forgiveness, I don't know how many times I knelt in front of myself?
Could it be Chai Shao because of affection?
Certainly not, he only has interests in his eyes, absolutely no affection.

On the contrary, Chen Ying is the only one who is desperate for her.When his own Weizeguan in the east of the river was in danger, Chen Ying knew that there was no imperial decree, no fish charms, and sending troops without permission was tantamount to treason, and he needed to punish the nine clans.

However, Chen Ying led his army eastward without hesitation, raided Shuozhou, and stormed Yanmen Pass. He was not afraid of all kinds of hardships and difficulties, and appeared by his side when he needed it most.

Li Xiuning turned to look at Chen Ying and said, "Chen Lang, in this life, I will live up to you!"

"Sanniang, in this life, we will depend on each other for life and death, and we will never depart from each other!" Chen Ying hugged Li Xiuning and said emotionally: "Lishan language is only half past midnight, and Ye Yulinling will never complain. How can you be so lucky that you are in a brocade, and you are so close to each other?" wish that day."

Li Xiuning said: "Chen Lang is so talented, I didn't expect that a great general can write poems no worse than those big headscarves!"

With that said, Li Xiuning leaned forward, pecked Chen Ying's face, a blush flew up on his face, and he gave another smack.

The silence speaks.

……

In Chang'an Wude Hall, Li Yuan, Pei Ji and Li Jiancheng were sitting opposite each other.Looking at the snowflakes floating outside the hall, Li Yuan sighed with emotion: "It's not easy to see that the six years of Wude are going to pass again!"

Pei Ji was also deeply touched. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no time to live in peace.In the first year of Wude, Xue Ju defeated Li Shimin in Qianshui Yuan, and Chen Bing Jingyang almost approached the city of Chang'an.In the second year of Wude, Liu Wuzhou plundered Hedong again, and then Wang Shichong attacked Huaizhou, triggering the battle between Tang and Zheng.

After finally pacifying Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, and forcing Du Fuwei to surrender, the Turks sent troops to the border, like sharp swords, hanging over the heads of everyone in the Tang Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Wude, the Eastern and Western Turks joined forces, Tubo invaded the frontier, settled the Western Turks, and a rebellion broke out in Hebei.

Finally seeing the past six years of Wude, Li Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Why not Pei Ji?
In the six years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan has been trying to sweep down the feudal lords from time to time and unify the world.At the same time, it is also necessary to fight wits and strengths with officials in the court and the world's aristocratic families.

At this moment, Li Yuan frowned slightly.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan and said, "Father, you are worried..."

Li Yuan smiled wryly, "I'm worried about the Northwest!"

Pei Ji opened his mouth, and finally said: "The old minister thought that Concubine Chen would not act rashly!"

"Your minister dares to take Xiangshang's head as a guarantee!" Li Jiancheng immediately endorsed Chen Ying when he heard this.

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "I am worried that the Turkic army took the opportunity to go south. Dalang, let me ask you, is Liangzhou's defense still solid?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, my son has strengthened the defense of Hexi since the end of the Battle of Hebei. Although there are not many people guarding Hexi, with Li Jing in charge, they can be safe. Father must still remember how Li Jing was. Those who travel to the southeast, his military strategy is very good, the emperor can rest assured."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "That's very good, but there are not only Turkic people in the northwest, but also Tubo people in the southwest. Chen Ying fought several victories in the Western Regions and wiped out Ashina Buzhen's troops. Now the Western Turks rule Ye After the successive defeats of Hu and Ashina Buzhen, will the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan join forces with Tubo and Western Turkic remnants, and will they continue to go south and attack Hebei?"

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Father, my son thinks that the Western Turks should not unite with the Eastern Turks. The two sides have been at odds for decades, and there have been countless casualties. They are called the Turks. In fact, between the Eastern and Western Turks, except for the Khan. Ashina's family background, others are not related by blood, this kind of rift cannot be resolved in two or three sentences. As for Tubo, they are fighting each other internally, and it is difficult to tell the winner in a short time, not to mention there are A Chen Ying who fanned the flames, now the Tibetans will burn incense if they can protect themselves."

Li Yuan asked in disbelief: "How can you see that?"

Li Jiancheng said: "The most suitable time for the Turkic people to attack is the seven, eighty-nine and ninety-three months when the horses are fat in autumn, but now it is deep winter and the beginning of spring is the season for the mating and reproduction of livestock on the grassland, and it is also the time of the year for the Turkic people. Among them, it is the busiest season. Therefore, Jieli Khan must not have many troops this time. This is one of them.

Li Yuan nodded.

Li Jiancheng said: "Secondly, the winter is covered with ice and snow. With the logistical supply capabilities of Western Turks or Eastern Turks, they can travel hundreds of miles at most. Their logistical support can only last for half a month. If they want to unite, they can only send The small team of messengers, but the small team of messengers needs to go through the jurisdiction of the Western City Protectorate. Chen should not sit back and watch the East and West Turks unite. In the current season, the Turks will not send troops, even Xieli can't do it, so the Turks who lack logistical support Humans simply don't have the ability to fight in Hebei for a long time, as long as we don't send food and supplies in vain, the Turks will retreat."

Li Yuan's brows gradually relaxed.

Li Yuan suddenly picked up a memorial and handed it to Li Jiancheng: "Da Lang, look at this!"

Li Jiancheng was slightly surprised when he received Li Yuan's letter.

Because this letter was written by Li Xiuning. In the letter, Li Xiuning wrote that the northwest was bitterly cold and the climate was changeable. She was pregnant again and wanted to return to Guanzhong to wait for delivery. At the same time, Chen Ying decided to accompany Li Xiuning back to Chang'an and asked the imperial court to send a new protector of the Western Regions. , to take over as the Chief Protector of the Western Regions!

When Li Yuan saw Li Xiuning's letter just now, he naturally thought that Li Xiuning's letter was ordered by Chen Ying, and the purpose was to test the court's reaction.

As long as Li Yuan took advantage of the situation and agreed to return to Chang'an with Li Xiuning and Chen Ying, I am afraid that Chen Ying would not come again.

Holding the letter, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan and said, "Father, what do you mean..."

Li Jiancheng saw Li Yuan's hesitation and did not make a decision for Li Yuan.Of course, this is also the cleverness of Li Jiancheng. He knows what to do and what not to do.

Li Yuandao: "No matter how you say it, San Niang is my daughter, how can I not allow it?"

……

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng who was eating vinegar celery and said, "Sir, this food is very cold and not good for the spleen and stomach. It is better to eat less!"

"Haha..." Wei Zheng said with a light smile on his face, "There is nothing good about Zheng Bie, but I love this one!"

Since the Qin Palace's last conspiracy to alienate, Wei Zheng and Yu Chigong played a double act, Yuchi Gong falsely assassinated Wei Zheng in front of Wei Zheng's gate, and led his troops to flee Chang'an.As a result, Zhang Gongjin, who thought he had a plan, came forward to recruit Yu Chigong, and Yu Chigong took advantage of the situation and agreed to enter the Qin Palace to serve the Qin King.

However, Chang He was also recommended by Li Jiancheng, and became General Yubayashi Zhonglang of the Xuanwu Gate Forbidden Army, stationed in Xuanwu Gate.

But Yu Chigong acted as a spy and was ordered to break into the Qin Palace.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "The news just came that Sanniang formally requested to return to Chang'an. Jiancheng doesn't know how to deal with it, sir, please clarify."

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, His Majesty will never allow Chen Ying to return to Chang'an."

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng suspiciously.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Du Fuwei Jianghuai is not in peace, at this time, His Majesty will never move the Western Regions lightly, but will stabilize Chen Ying, but Chen Ying is really in danger at this time!"

Li Jiancheng remembered what Li Yuan had sworn, so he told Li Jiancheng what Li Yuan had said.

Wei Zheng frowned and said: "His Royal Highness, do you think that if Chen Ying returns, under the instigation of ulterior motives, someone will impeach Chen Concubine, I am afraid that when that time comes, how will His Majesty respond?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Naturally, the law is enforced impartially, and Chen Ying should be treated fairly!"

Wei Zhengdao: "You are not joking, if Concubine Chen really has a different heart, who will take the blame?"

Wei Zheng went on to say, "Actually, Concubine Chen's departure from the Western Regions is even more intimidating!"

Li Jiancheng said in astonishment: "How is this possible?"

Wei Zheng explained: "His Royal Highness, think about it carefully. Chen Yingnian was a white man. He raised his arms and shouted. Thousands of people in Jingyang followed him. Now General Chen is famous inside and outside. There are not many people who admire him, let alone How many of the 20 troops of the Chang'an Twelve Guards were former General Chen?"

Chen Ying's military training ability is really too strong, even if it is a mob, after Chen Ying's training, they will be reborn in a very short period of time and become the elite of the elite.

It is precisely because of Chen Ying's ability that the generals under Chen Ying's command have been very successful in their official careers, especially the rate of the left and right guards in the East Palace and the rate of the left and right guards. Among the army.

However, these soldiers quickly stood out in the Twelve Guards and became grassroots officers at the level of team leader, brigade commander, or lieutenant. To put it bluntly, these officers have already accounted for more than one-third of the Twelve Guards. officer.

It would be fine if Chen Ying was not in Chang'an, these low-level officers of the Chen family had no backbone, but once Chen Ying returned to Chang'an, even if he had no official position, no power, no rank, as long as Chen Ying raised his arms, he would be like a follower.

What's more, Li Xiuning still has tens of thousands of old troops in Chang'an. Although most of these people are not soldiers, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not limit their weapons and equipment. They can take up arms at any time and become an army.
