Late Tang

(Thanks to Zui Xiaodao, xuzhijie1973, xuwei222 for their support, thank you!)

She dragged her exhausted body back to the mansion, stumbled and pushed open the last curtain, and closed her eyes exhausted.As if she had just fallen asleep, the morning sunlight had already climbed up the sunny window room, spilled into the bedroom through the windowpane of the undrawn curtains, fell on the pillow on her wide bed, stabbed her The face, like an invisible hand, wants to open her heavy eyelids.

Distraught, she turned over.

The head is still groggy, the feet are still sore, and the place next to the double big breasts is empty.

It was a mistake to agree to Li Siyuan to stay and discuss matters last night, she did not expect him to be so bold.By reason of discussing the matter, she finally brought out the wine. As a result, she was embarrassed to refuse for a while, so she drank one glass, then two glasses, three glasses, and finally she even drank at least a bottle of red wine by herself.

He has really changed, he is no longer as shy and shy as before, but he has also become so cunning.

Alcohol relaxes her, makes her drop her guard.

As a result, Li Siyuan, who was very serious at the beginning, gradually became a little presumptuous, and finally even spoke frivolously, and said a lot of excessive things.He even wanted to grab her hand, wanted to hug him, if she hadn't poured the little wine left in the cup directly on his face, she didn't know how things would turn out in the end .

Opening her eyes, she took another look at her clothes, and made sure that she hadn't done anything wrong to Li Jing when she was half-drunk and half-awake last night, and that she didn't let her former adopted son take advantage of her.After careful inspection, she sighed, everything is fine, and she still defends Li Jing like a jade.

Liu Yunniang punched the soft pillow stuffed with velvet several times, and lay down again.

She wants to sleep for a few more minutes now. She was half drunk last night, but now she is sober.

She has to continue to face Li Siyuan, this is an embarrassing and headache, she doesn't know how to face him.Li Siyuan was indeed too much yesterday, but in the past he stuck to that line and never did anything too much.But now, she still can't tell what happened yesterday, firstly, she believed that he might just be drunk for a while yesterday, secondly, she needs him now.

This need is not personal. Although she used to be Li Keyong's wife and later chose to follow Li Jing, she is not a woman with the surname of Shui Yanghua. On the contrary, she is still a more emotional and conservative woman.Even if she has no public identity with Li Jing, she will never do anything to offend him.

But now, she really needs Li Siyuan.

Li Jing went to the Bohai Sea and might not be able to return within a year.And as soon as Li Jing left, Li Keyong had switched with Zheng Congyun and took over Hedong Town.As the governor of Shanxi, Liu Yuniang and Li Keyong's Hedong Township are now adjacent to each other from the north to the south.

Although they used to be husband and wife, it doesn't mean they can live in harmony.

When Li Keyong returned to Hedong, the whole Hedong had already begun to be in turmoil.Shanxi Province has infiltrated many secret agents of Shatuo, and they are constantly linking up and bewitching those Shatuo people, northern border residents, wealthy families, etc. They bought, threatened, and lured them. While spying on the Shanxi Qin Newspaper, they began to secretly sabotage work.

Undoubtedly, after Li Keyong returned to Hedong, he was unwilling to sit back and watch the Qin army control Daibei.Especially now that Li Jing led an elite army to expedition to the Bohai Sea, he felt more and more that he had an opportunity to take advantage of it.In the past few days, Liu Yuniang has been in a bit of a state of distress. There are a lot of emergencies to deal with every day. The situation in Hedong continues to heat up, and war may break out at any time. Two or so governors are helping her, but she is still very busy.

She was so busy that she didn't even have time to take care of her son, so she completely left the child to the nanny and mother.In this case, although Li Siyuan was just an empty governor and did not have a single soldier under his command, but at this time, Shanxi province needed more and more the prestige of their three leaders in Daibei, especially in those sandy provinces in Shanxi province. The influence of the Tuo people and those northern border peoples and noble families.

Maybe after tonight she should take a few days off, get her head in order, make a pot of good tea, and take care of the kids herself.

She pulled the quilt, even though the sun had sunburned, she still felt very cold.

Ever since Li Jing arranged for her to come to Shanxi, she has always felt lonely.In fact, she doesn't care about dukes or governors. All she expects is to have a house in Yanjing City, and she will raise her son at home. Occasionally, Li Jing can come to live for a day or two, or often visit their mother and son. , everything is satisfied.But Li Jing needed her to come here, and in the end she came anyway.At first, she thought she would adapt here, after all, she used to live here.But after she really came here, no matter where she went, she could always feel the memories of the past like a shadow.She began to miss her daughter who was taken away by Li Keyong uncontrollably, and she began to think of every bit of life with Li Keyong.

She shivered and buried her face deeply in the pillow.

She has been trying to calm down, after all, now she has found a better man and a cuter son.She wants to work harder, and she doesn't really like to do a good job, but Li Jing expects her to do a good job.For the man I love, even if I do something I don't like, I can still feel relieved.

She rubbed her long loose hair, took a long breath, struggled to sit up from the bed, patted her cheeks with her hands a few times, her face turned red, and then her spirits also revived.She took another long breath, jumped up from the bed, began to dress up, and was ready to start another busy and tiring day.

Repeated defeats, never giving up is an essential quality of a hero.

One-eyed dragon Li Keyong is such a person, his life can be described as ups and downs, ebb and flow.His previous life was smooth sailing and he never encountered setbacks, which made him develop a character of pride and self-willedness. Then later, his destiny in life encountered a natural opponent, Li Jing.He has been hostile to Li Jing for many years, and he has suffered a complete defeat.Although he struggled several times while taking advantage of Li Jing's expansion in other areas, in the end, he still had to admit that it was really hard to fight Li Jing.

Having fought against Li Jing for many years, he almost lost everything.But he never gave up, as long as there is a little chance, he will continue.Now, he has obtained Hedong Town again. Although Li Jing's power has grown stronger and expanded steadily over the years, he is still standing up again now.

Entering Hedong Town, half of Hedong once again belongs to him.

However, he did not indulge in the leisurely mood of this victory.At this moment, he was forced to huddle in an overheated and stuffy study room with geothermal heat, leaning on an oil lamp with a glass cover, and a group of staff officers surrounded him, followed by many generals. He was surrounded by water.

The more defeats he suffered under Li Jing, the more Li Keyong paid more attention to Li Jing in his heart, and even secretly imitated Li Jing.For example, he now follows the Qin army's staff system and military police supervision system, and has also set up special staff offices and military police offices in his new Shatuo army.He promoted a large group of veteran officers who could not carry swords and guns and continued to charge, as well as some young scholars, to form his staff office, to help him make suggestions, and also promoted some confidant Shatuo soldiers to serve as military police officers He asked them to take a group of Shatuo soldiers loyal to him and turn them into gendarmerie, responsible for supervising the whole army, strictly preventing traitors like Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao, and Li Cunxin from appearing again.

Now, this group of staff officers is chattering about their ideas and proposals. In their plan, they can easily reach Daibei and take back the Daibei area, or send troops out of Jingxing to surrender the land that has surrendered. The Qin army's Chengde town was swallowed up in one fell swoop, and some people even suggested that troops should be sent from both sides at the same time to seize Daibei and Chengde.

Li Keyong still had the unique smile on his face because of the scar, but what he thought in his heart was that these people were talking nonsense.A group of guys talking on paper, none of them can come up with any practical and useful plans.Although he has 10,000+ soldiers under his command now, don't they know what is actually going on?He has only 2 men who can really fight, plus the tens of thousands left behind in Hedong Town, he can barely select 3 soldiers who can fight, and the total is no more than [-].With just such a small number of people, not to mention attacking on both sides, even attacking on one side will not work.

It is not good to fight Daibei, nor is it good to fight Chengde.

But yes, this group of people are not real strategists. He once had a group of subordinates who were truly capable of both literary and military skills, capable of both fighting and strategizing, such as Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao, Guo Chongtao, etc. A man with great vision.

"Perhaps we can instigate Madam Liu, Li Siyuan, and Li Cunxin again." A sentence suddenly came out from the corner, and as soon as this sentence came out, the whole study suddenly fell silent.Li Ke raised his head and followed the voice, the one who spoke was a young staff officer.He was a little too young, even a little too weak.

Li Keyong remembered that this man's surname was Duan Mingyuan, and his father was originally a small official under Yang Fuguang. This time he went to Hedong, and his father was selected by Yang Fuguang and some soldiers to Li Keyong.Duan Mingyuan had a younger sister who was quite pretty, and Li Keyong had taken him as a concubine on the way north, so he asked Duan's father to be a master bookkeeper, and Duan Mingyuan asked him to be a staff officer because he had read some military books.It was originally arranged because of Duan Mei, but he didn't expect that he would actually make such a proposal at this time.

Since Mrs. Liu refused to come back, Mrs. Liu has become a taboo topic in front of Li Keyong. Once someone accidentally said it, Li Keyong would definitely be furious.

Just when everyone thought that Duan Mingyuan was going to be in trouble, they saw Li Ke raised his eyebrows a few times, and then said in a flat tone: "Tell me about your plan in detail." (To be continued.)
