Man Tanghong

"Yuanji, explain to me why you ended the war before I came, and sent Liu Hongji, Su Dingfang and others to the expedition. Why didn't you wait for me?"

Huai'an county government office.

Li Xiuning was dressed in military uniform and asked aggressively.

Li Yuanji couldn't avoid it no matter what, so he just stood there and sighed: "Sister, you are also a master of the art of war, you should understand that fighter opportunities are fleeting, so it's not that I don't wait for you, but that fighter opportunities don't wait for anyone." ah."

Li Xiuning stood in front of Li Yuanji and continued to say aggressively: "Well, I'll take what you said is true, then you send me to help Su Dingfang now."

Li Yuanji sighed and said: "Sister, Su Dingfang's team has left Qingzhou now, and I don't know where they are now. Besides, Jieli has been defeated, and now he is running away like a bereaved dog.

Su Dingfang and the others are just beating up the dogs in the water. You go and help them fight together. If word spreads, others will think that I, Datang, are bullying others. "

Li Xiuning became angry all of a sudden, and said angrily, "Then tell me, how do you explain Liu Hongji's attack on Dalang Mountain after leaving Xiaoguan?

If Jieli had really become a bereaved dog, how dare he set up an ambush on Dalang Mountain to attack Liu Hongji and others. "

Li Yuanji said with emotion: "This is just an accident."

Li Xiuning said incredulously, "What's the accident? The other side dispatched [-] troops to ambush Liu Hongji and the others. It's clearly premeditated."

Li Yuanji didn't know how to explain it to Li Xiuning.

It was indeed an accident that Liu Hongji was ambushed after leaving Xiaoguan.

Those Turkic people in ambush on Dalang Mountain were sent by Jieli to ambush Li Jing and his party. It is said that the leader of the army was Yugu, son of Jieli.

Who knew that these people did not wait for Li Jing and his party in Dalang Mountain, but instead waited for Liu Hongji.

So in order to avoid being discovered by Liu Hongji, he chose to act first, which eventually led to Liu Hongji's disastrous defeat and the loss of hundreds of soldiers.

Although Liu Hongji fought back afterwards and defeated these people, causing them to escape outside the Great Wall, but Liu Hongji suffered a defeat, and there was no way to hide it.

After the news reached Huai'an, Li Xiuning knew about it very quickly, and started to make a fuss about it.

The matter was over, and it was an accident. It wasn't that Liu Hongji really encountered strong soldiers and fierce resistance, so there was really nothing to explain.

Li Xiuning said stubbornly now that Liu Hongji encountered a strong soldier and wanted to use this to help Su Dingfang.

Li Yuanji really didn't know how to explain, even if the explanation was clear, Li Xiuning would not listen.

"Second brother, you came just in time, explain to sister what happened to Liu Hongji."

At this moment, Li Yuanji saw Li Shimin coming out of the lobby of the county government office, and immediately began to blame him.

Before Li Shimin refused, Li Yuanji had already left Li Shimin and Li Xiuning and fled.

It's not that he doesn't want Li Xiuning to help Su Dingfang, but now is not the time for Li Xiuning to help Su Dingfang.

When Su Dingfang was chasing Jieli out of Gyeongju, he happened to meet Suni Shi who had made a detour from Yanzhou, and the two sides fought a big battle outside Gyeongju.

Suni was very cautious in deploying troops against this man, far more cautious than Jieli and Tuli.

Now the situation and situation of the battle are unclear, and it is not known whether Suni lost any reinforcements after leaving Yanzhou, so it is not easy to send Li Xiuning to take risks.

After all, the place where Suni lost control is not too far from Yanzhou.

If he had transferred troops to his subordinates again when he escaped from Yanzhou, the reinforcements would have arrived in Gyeongju by now.

"Your Highness, there is news from Daizhou that His Royal Highness King Hejian has entrusted Li Shiji and Concubine Chai with the task of conquering Li Yi, and has personally led the troops to recover the territory outside Shizhou."

When Li Yuanji returned to the back hall of the county government, Yu Wenbao rushed to report.

Li Yuanji questioned: "You mean my cousin and they haven't captured Li Yi yet?"

At the end, Li Yuanji frowned.

Logically speaking, Li Xiaogong led a large number of Tang Dynasty's elites in this expedition, with tens of thousands of troops under his command, it should be easy to conquer a Li Yi.

But it has been several months now, and Li Yi still failed, which is really unbelievable.

Yu Wenbao clasped his hands and said: "According to the documents sent by Chai Fuma, since Li Yi lost to Li Shiji and him in Yizhou and Mozhou at the same time, he adopted the tactic of retreating and transferred all the soldiers and horses back to Youzhou. State, and ordered the soldiers and horses in each county of Youzhou to strictly guard all parts of Youzhou, as well as the main roads everywhere.

If they want to take down Li Yi, they can only attack county by county, and they can't take advantage of it. "

Li Yuanji frowned and said, "Didn't anyone defect or surrender?"

Yu Wenbao slowly shook his head and said: "According to the documents of King Hejian, Chai Fuma, and Li Shiji, except for the battle between Yizhou and Mozhou, when some people defected and surrendered, no one defected and surrendered in other places. surrender."

Li Yuanji frowned even tighter, "Except for Yizhou and Mozhou, there is only Youzhou left. In this way, Li Yi has managed Youzhou as a monolith."

After thinking about it seriously, Yu Wenbao nodded heavily.

"The deadline my second brother set for them has passed long ago. Do you think I should order them to be reprimanded?"

Li Yuanji stared at Yu Wenbao and asked.

Yu Wenbao tightly shut his mouth and didn't say a word.

It is about a county king and three princes, so he is not qualified to intervene.

Why are there three dukes, because Li Shiji and his father Li Gai are both dukes and they are one.

"Send someone to Youzhou to take a good look, see it clearly, see it clearly, and then report to me everything you see, and then make a decision."

Li Yuanji didn't get an answer from Yu Wenbao, and didn't expect Yu Wenbao to give him an answer, so he decided to send someone to take a look first, to see if Li Xiaogong, Li Shiji, and Chai Shao really didn't contribute their work.

If this is the case, it is not too late to reprimand.

If Li Xiaogong, Li Shiji, and Chai Shao worked hard, and even put in their best efforts, then even if they didn't take down Li Yi within the stipulated time, it wouldn't be easy to reprimand them.

After all, Li Yi has been famous for a long time, and the soldiers and horses under his command are veterans who have participated in many wars, so it is reasonable that he is not easy to fight.

"My minister obeys."

Yu Wenbao bowed and left the back hall of the county government office.

Not long after Yu Wenbao left, Li Xiuning got involved again. Li Yuanji just wanted to find an excuse to fool Li Xiuning, when Li Xiuning said, "You don't want to know about your son and daughter?"

Li Yuanji suddenly became nervous.

When he led the army to go out, Wang Ruan and the two Silla women were almost at the end of the month. In order to avoid affecting their minds, making wrong decisions, or anxious to end the war and go back to see their children, so as to cause a catastrophe, So he deliberately didn't pay attention to this matter, and was going to wait until the war was over before asking.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiuning took the initiative to mention it.

According to Li Xiuning, Wang Ruan and two Silla women not only gave birth to a boy, but also a girl.

I just don't know who gave birth to the boy, who gave birth to the girl, and whether the child is good or not.

"I thought you didn't care about them, so you are very nervous about them?"

Li Xiuning saw that Li Yuanji was too nervous to speak, and said jokingly.

Li Yuanji said awkwardly: "No... I don't know how are Mrs. Wang and those two Mrs. Silla doing?"

Now that the children have been born, they can be called wives, and they are not regarded highly.

Li Xiuning walked up to Li Yuanji with a half-smile, "You don't want to know if the three children are okay?"

Li Yuanji said with a dry smile: "The child is under the care of my elder sister and father. It must be very good. Don't ask."

Li Xiuning asked with a smile in disbelief, "Is that so?"

Li Yuanji nodded his head pretending to be calm.

Li Xiuning smiled and said: "Why do I think you care more about the quality of the child, but you dare not ask, so first ask Wang Ruan and those two Silla girls how they are?"

Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "My sister must have read it wrong."

Li Xiuning said with a smile: "Obviously he is the father of three children, why are you still nervous about the newborn child? They are not descendants, and they cannot inherit everything from you."

You know what the hell.

These three are biological, and the first three are inherited.

Although there is no difference in blood, there is a big difference in soul.

Li Yuanji secretly slandered in his heart.

In his previous and present lives, he had his own child for the first time, and he was really panicked and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. As long as you let me lead the army to rescue Su Dingfang, I will tell you the recent situation of the three children and the recent situation of your three wives."

Li Xiuning didn't make things difficult for Li Yuanji either. After teasing Li Yuanji a little, she chose to let Li Yuanji go.

Li Yuanji hesitated for a while.

He was eager to know the recent situation of the three children and Wang Ruan and the others, but he didn't want Li Xiuning to take risks.

Li Xiuning seemed to have seen something unbelievable, and said in surprise: "You hesitated? In your heart, the six of them are actually more important than me as a sister?"

Li Yuanji took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said angrily: "Sister, what are you talking about? Have you played enough?"

Li Xiuning actually looked like a girl, and said playfully, "No..."

Li Yuanji said helplessly: "Just tell me what you want to do. But if you want to help Su Dingfang, I will say nothing."

When Li Xiuning heard this, she immediately became angry, "Yuanji, others forget their mothers when they have wives, but you are good. They forget sisters when they have children. You can do it."

Li Yuanji called Qu and said, "I don't. I don't let you go to rescue Su Dingfang, it's also for your safety. If you really want to compete with the Turks, then I'll transfer you to Suizhou and let you go to help the talisman." Uncle Wang."
