The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 192 Princess Yongan wants to go to war!

As time passed, people in Chang'an City saw that the prince was personally paying attention to the promotion of the Qu Yuan Li, and they couldn't help but be curious about the origin of the Qu Yuan Li.

"I heard that this Quyuanli was originally presented to the palace by Princess Yong'an!"

"Princess Yong'an? Is it true?"

"Of course it's true!"

"After all, when Princess Yong'an entered the palace that day, someone saw that she was bringing several craftsmen with her. The craftsmen were also carrying something that was basically the same size as a Quyuan plow!"

"If that's the case, is this Qu Yuan Li really made by Princess Yong'an?"

"But why should the prince come forward to promote the world?"

"And it was also named Quyuanli, not Yonganli?"

After all, this plow was made by Princess Yongan, so it is very appropriate to name it after the maker.

However, new news came again. It was rumored that this Quyuanli was actually built by Princess Yongan, Professor of the Divine Bird. If we talk about it in detail, this Quyuanli should have been created by the Divine Bird!

As soon as this news came out, everyone was amazed.

Even people who read can't help but go to the fields to see the subtleties of this curved shaft plow.

Compared with the old-fashioned plow, the difference is clear!

At the same time, regarding the creation process of Quyuanli, various legends about Princess Yongan and the divine bird are also spread everywhere.

……

Compared to the city, inside Princess Yong'an's Mansion, it seemed particularly peaceful.

Seeing Quyuanli being promoted, Li Xinni was naturally happy.

But what followed was the emptiness in my heart.

Although there are busy things in the Women's Palace every day, there are also other women who have walked out of the Women's Palace who are responsible for the management of major things. There are not many things that really require her to think about.

In the palace garden, sweet potatoes have been planted in the flower beds in the courtyard, but there is still a lot of open space for people to rest.

At this time, Li Xinni was wearing a simple long skirt with fluttering skirts and her hair was simply tied into a ponytail.

She is holding a long sword and is dancing seriously.

The divine bird was standing on the railing nearby, giving instructions from time to time to Li Xinni's sword practice.

"This move is not perfect, and it is not powerful enough. You can..."

Bai Zhi carefully watched Li Xinni's every move, then pointed out the shortcomings and gave corrections.

After a moment, I saw thin beads of sweat appear on Li Xinni's smooth forehead, and her hair was stuck together, making her look extra tired.

But Li Xinni was still full of energy, put away the moves in her hands, and then looked at the divine bird beside her, her eyes bright, "Why does the divine bird understand the swordsmanship of all of us?"

"Yes, after all, Divine Bird, you have experienced a lot..."

Li Xinni asked and answered herself, with a look of sudden realization, she got up again and continued practicing her sword.

However, this time the movement was much slower, and he asked the divine bird questions from time to time.

"Your swordsmanship is already very good. If you were on the battlefield, you would be considered a warrior!"

Bai Zhi didn't hesitate to praise, but he also spoke matter-of-factly.

Although Li Xinni's swordsmanship was mostly performance-oriented before, after her own guidance, her swordsmanship and moves are now full of killing power.

That's why Bai Zhi said this.

"On the battlefield?"

Li Xinni suddenly stopped, then looked at the sword in his hand, looking forward to it, "I wonder if I still have a chance to go to the battlefield..."

But she suddenly shook her head:

"It's better not to go to the battlefield, otherwise so many poor people will be displaced again..."

When Bai Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Li Xinni is too kind. Maybe she should not belong to this era, but she is also a person created by this era.

"The battlefield..."

Perhaps letting her experience a bloody killing on the battlefield will make her realize more, and some good changes will occur in her personality.

Looking down at Li Xinni, he was still practicing his sword, and Bai Zhi was giving guidance from time to time.

In this way, time passed and one year passed quickly.

627 AD.

Nine years have passed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the entire world has gradually become peaceful. Although there are still rebels hiding in the deep mountains and forests, it does not prevent the Tang Dynasty from governing the world.

With the popularization of the Quyuan plow, it became easier for people all over the world to cultivate land, and correspondingly, the yield of food became more high.

The country is prospering, but abroad Datang is facing many crises.

In the northwest, the Turks, a minority group that once belonged to the Xiongnu, suddenly rose up, and their troops pointed directly at the border of the Tang Dynasty.

In the western plateau, Tubo often sent troops to invade the border towns of Datang, plundering people and massacring towns.

For a time, the border towns of Datang were at war, and merchants traveling east and west were hampered by this.

……

Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.

During the court meeting, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was sitting on the throne, listening to the suggestions of his ministers below. At the bottom of the court, Prince Li Shimin was also sitting on the side.

"The Turks and Tibet invaded the border towns of the Tang Dynasty. The people in the border towns were often massacred by the barbarians. The soldiers in the border towns risked their lives, but they were still defeated. My dear friends, do you have any good advice?"

Emperor Li Yuan looked at the civil and military officials in the hall.

After hearing the words, the civil and military officials were silent for a moment, but they saw Changsun Wuji suddenly come out and said: "Your Majesty, the barbarians are rude and have no virtue. They only recognize the blade. I think the Han Dynasty also suffered from the Huns for eight hundred years. Emperor Wu raised his troops and We fought in the desert, the vast sea drank our horses, and Yan Ran reined in their horses, so that the Xiongnu surrendered!"

"And the Turkic country is also the slave of the Huns!"

"If they are not of my race, their hearts must be different. We cannot adopt gentle strategies and can only attack them with swords and weapons!"

"good!"

Hearing this, the prince Li Shimin couldn't help but nod. When the prince Li Shimin was the king of Qin, he fought for the Tang Dynasty in the north and south. He had many famous generals and counselors under his command, so he was naturally enthusiastic about the war.

Not to mention that such barbarians are invading the Central Plains. How can we tolerate it? !

Only weapons should be the truth!

The emperor Li Yuan above heard the sigh of the prince Li Shimin and obviously had the same idea, so he pondered for a moment, looked at Li Shimin and said, "Where is the prince?"

"Chen is here!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Li Shimin immediately stood up and bowed in response.

"I ordered you to lead one hundred thousand troops to the border town and wait for an opportunity to repel the Turks' soldiers. If you get the chance, try to completely annihilate the Turks!"

Obviously, Emperor Li Yuan also wanted to imitate the Han Dynasty and defeat the Xiongnu elite with one blow, and also wanted to defeat the Turkic elite with one blow.

As for the remaining Turkic soldiers, they are very easy to deal with.

"Yes!"

Prince Li Shimin immediately took the order.

There was no objection from the ministers to Emperor Li Yuan's arrangements.

It is a taboo for a prince to lead an army.

But the prince at this time was appointed by the divine bird. The emperor could not depose the prince, and the prince did not dare to rebel.

Therefore, Prince Li Shimin must obey the emperor's order.

Not to mention, Prince Li Shimin is good at fighting.

……

"The people are going to fight!?" Li Xinni, who returned from Nugongfang, was walking on the street and heard the latest news in the court. After returning, she said to Bai Zhi in surprise.

"It seems your chance has come!"

Bai Zhi's tone was calm, without much surprise.

"That's right! My chance has come!"

Having said this, Li Xinni left the mansion again and went directly to the palace.

in the palace.

Emperor Li Yuan and Prince Li Shimin were discussing the strategy of using troops against the Turks. At the same time, there were many military generals standing aside.

While everyone was making deductions on the sand table, a waiter suddenly came from outside to announce that Princess Yong'an was here.

Hearing this, the faces of some of the military generals present changed, wondering whether they wanted to leave.

Emperor Li Yuan was also a little confused, but he didn't think much about it and directly ordered: "Let her in!"

By the time the waiter left, Princess Yongan's footsteps could already be heard.

"Father, Shimin is going to war?"

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

After walking into the palace, Li Xinni discovered that there were so many military generals in the palace. His face suddenly changed slightly and his steps became smaller.

He walked slowly and softly, walked closer, and then asked aloud: "Father, Prince."

"Why are Yong'an here?"

Emperor Li Yuan couldn't help but smile on his face when he saw Li Xinni like this, and then asked.

"My daughter heard that the prince was going to fight, so she went to the palace to meet the prince. After all, my daughter and the prince had a close relationship..."

Seeing his sister become so formal made Li Shimin feel a little uncomfortable.

"Well, you can talk about it later if you have something to do. Now we are discussing military and political matters!"

"Yes, my daughter will watch from the sidelines and won't disturb her anymore."

"That's fine too."

Emperor Li Yuan looked serious, nodded slightly, and then communicated with the military generals on the sand table, while Li Xinni listened and watched quietly.

At the same time, military generals also expressed their opinions from time to time, and Li Xinni listened carefully and never missed it.

It was not until a long time passed that the discussion about the expedition ended. Watching the military generals leave, only Emperor Li Yuan, Prince Li Shimin and Princess Yong'an Li Xinni were left.

Emperor Li Yuan then looked at Li Xinni and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "What will happen to you when you enter the palace this time?"

Li Shimin on the side also looked at Li Xinni.

But Li Xinni suddenly stepped forward and hugged Emperor Li Yuan's arm, causing Emperor Li Yuan to look startled, and then the smile on his face became wider, and he couldn't help but say fondly:

"Are you still like you were when you were a kid? How old are you!"

"Father, I heard that Shimin is going to war?"

"Yes! The prince used to go to war often, so you don't have to worry. It's very easy for your brother to lead troops in war."

Upon hearing this, Prince Li Shimin quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right!"

The close cooperation between father and son eased Li Xinni's worries.

However, Li Xinni's real purpose was not to worry about Prince Li Shimin, but something else.

Li Xinni saw this and said, "Father, I also want to go with the people of the world!"

"Good good..."

The old father Li Yuan is naturally infinitely satisfied with the requirements of his beloved daughter.

However, before the last word "good" came out of his throat, it was instantly stuck. Then he looked at his daughter aside in shock and exclaimed: "What did you say?!"

Even Prince Li Shimin looked at Princess Yong'an in disbelief, not believing why his sister, who loved peace and quiet, suddenly wanted to go to the battlefield.

"Father, my daughter also wants to go to the battlefield!"

"No!"

Emperor Li Yuan suddenly looked serious and sternly rejected Li Xinni's request. Then he stared at Li Xinni and said, "Xinni, why do you suddenly think of going to the battlefield?"

"Did you know that the prince is going to the Western Regions to fight the Turks!"

"The Turks are not like us Han people, who know etiquette. When two armies are fighting, they will not kill the envoy!"

"And the Turks are barbarians!"

"It is impossible for me to agree to this matter!"

Seeing that her father was so serious and refused so decisively, Li Xinni felt helpless.

He looked at the prince Li Shimin on the side, and Li Shimin couldn't help but look away, obviously not wanting Li Xinni to go out with the army.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the palace became a little gloomy. None of the three people said a word. Princess Yongan Li Xinni and her father had a stalemate.

The surrounding waiters and maids could not help but tremble and became cautious.

Suddenly, Li Xinni's expression changed, as if she thought of paying attention, and her words softened a bit. She came forward and sat next to her father, and whispered:

"Actually... the Divine Bird has already agreed to go to the battlefield..."

"And, with the protection of the divine bird along the way, there will be no danger!"

"Huh? Really?!"

After hearing the divine bird's blessing, Emperor Li Yuan's serious expression finally relaxed a little, and then he looked at Li Xinni and asked seriously.

"real!"

When Li Xinni saw this, she immediately nodded seriously, as if the matter was a done deal.

At this time, Bai Zhi, who was hidden in the void above the palace, looked blank. He couldn't help but think about when he agreed to Li Xinni?

Below, seeing how serious Li Xinni was, Emperor Li Yuan also believed it, but he was still worried, "Why does the divine bird want you to go to war?"

"It's not that the divine bird asked my daughter to go, but that the daughter wanted to go on her own, and the divine bird was worried about it, so she spoke to protect her daughter!"

Li Xinni explained again, and then said: "My daughter wants to go out with the army. Firstly, she wants to see the attitude of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who sacrificed their lives, which is worth remembering. Secondly, she wants to see the border town. , if there are any orphans who have no one to care for them, they can also take them back to Chang'an when they come back..."

With Li Xinni's constant "explanations", Emperor Li Yuan finally agreed.

The prince Li Shimin on the side naturally had no objection.

Time passes, late spring.

All the flowers in the world are in full bloom and gradually wither, the vegetation becomes more and more lush, and the weather becomes more pleasant.

Li Xinni, who returned from the palace, immediately ordered the people in the palace to prepare for the expedition with the army. The first thing to do was to prepare armor, weapons, war horses and other items.

Standing in the courtyard, looking at Li Xinni who was busy, Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh, and immediately said: "In that case, let me help provide something..."

"Huh? What does the divine bird have to offer?"

Li Xinni, who had already put on a suit of armor, couldn't help but look at Bai Zhi in confusion.

But I saw that Li Xinni's armor was golden in color and lined with red brocade clothes, which made him look brilliant and majestic. Coupled with his bright appearance, he also looked like a woman.

At this time, she was holding the sword in both hands and was slowly pulling out the sword, checking whether the blade was sharp.

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, he immediately turned around to look.

"Then let's use the war horses..."

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, he waved his crimson feathers slightly and saw a white war horse suddenly appear in the empty palace garden.

"This horse's name is Ta Xue. It's an extraordinary horse. It can travel thousands of miles a day and still have some energy left!"
