Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 505 Preparation
Good news came frequently, and the news of one victory after another made Yang Xiaoran slightly relieved.It's just that this time Hou Junji also went with him. Although he was protected by two senior brothers, he still felt uneasy.

Before, it was unclear why a person of Hou Junji's status rebelled, after all, he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings.But after Gaochang was destroyed, seeing how he was treated, Yang Xiaoran understood a little bit.

This person rebelled because of this resentment!

It's just that this person is a bit narrow-minded.I am afraid that helping Li Chengqian in rebellion in history may not be out of sincerity. It is more likely that he wants to establish himself as king, or abolish Li Chengqian, support the young prince, and learn from Cao Cao to "take the emperor to order the princes".

This person has great ambitions and a small mind, so be on guard!

Moreover, she had to keep an eye on the movements of the aristocratic family in the capital, as long as there was any change, she would try to run out of the palace and go to Liaodong to find Li Chengqian.

When Li Lian and a few kids came back from school, they saw A Niang sitting by the window in a daze, so she went up and made all kinds of funny faces to make A Niang happy.

Ever since Grandpa left, Madam has often been in a daze.

"Auntie, Auntie..."

Li Lian raised her small hand and said: "Wang Rong is brief, Pei Kai is clear. Kongming Wolong, Lu Wangfeixiong. Yang Zhenguanxi, Ding Kuanyidong. Xie An Gaojie, Wang Daogongzhong. Kuang Heng chiseled the wall, Sun Jing closed the door Zhidu Goshawk, Ning Cheng.Ru.hu...Aniang, look, I can recite "Mengqiu"..."

"I'll carry it too."

Li Xiang also raised his hands, and said slowly: "Zhou Song resists the wolf, Liang Ji is domineering. Xi Chao is bearded, Wang Xun is short. ..."

"My son will too!"

Li Jue recited sullenly: "Wu Zhong does not stop, Shi Heng suffers a lot. Huan Tan is not a prophecy, Wang Shang stops falsehood. Ji Lu ordered to drive, and Cheng Kong was overwhelmed. Jumeng is one enemy, Zhou Chu is three evils..."

"Cool cool..."

Li Ke and Li Su said in a milky voice: "You guys will also... the world is dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric..."

Li Ke and Li Su, who are already three years old, have shown more wisdom than their elder brothers and sisters here. Although their articulation is a little unclear, they can already recognize them.

Yang Xiaoran looked at these five cute babies, seeing that they were so sensible and intelligent, he felt a lot of comfort.

He hugged them all into his arms and said with a smile: "Well, well, well, they are all good children, A Niang's good children!"

Saying that, they kissed each other on the face respectively, and said: "Don't be complacent, you have to continue to earnestly learn from the master, do you understand?"

Li Lian nodded her head a few times and said, "Aniang, we will get it. Don't be unhappy, we will all be good in the future."

Yang Xiaoran patted their heads and said with a smile: "Why isn't A Niang unhappy?"

After a pause, he patted each of them on the head one by one, and said, "You're a big kid! Well, wash your hands quickly, and the meal will be ready later. Auntie cooked a lot of your favorite food today. Things. There are sweet and sour pork ribs, omelet rice, chicken stewed meat pie, mashed potatoes with chicken sauce, sweet and sour green peppers..."

"Wow!"

The little guy smiled happily and clapped his hands repeatedly.

No matter how the chefs in the palace improve their skills, only mother's cooking is the most memorable and delicious meal in this world.

The ingredients of these meals are ordinary, but each dish embodies the deep love of the mother.This kind of thing cannot be copied by others, so it is unforgettable.

No matter how far we go, the food cooked by our mother will always be rooted in our hearts, guiding us in the direction of going home.

Seeing the backs of the children leaving happily, Yang Xiaoran lowered his head and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes. Jin Gu felt trembling in her heart, the eldest girl is really a little abnormal!
Is it because I miss His Highness so much?

With this anxiety, several days passed.

There are still good news ahead. The Tang army broke through Goguryeo's defense line and prepared to attack Pyongyang. It seems that the great success is imminent.

However, Yang Xiaoran's worries did not diminish.Because she found that apart from Lu's family, Qinghe Cui's family, and Zhaojun's Li's family, the other families had become more frequent, which made her even more anxious.

I don't know what they are planning, the paparazzi are not so powerful yet.And they are also on guard.Furthermore, if there is really a big event to be planned, gatherings like this will naturally be kept extremely secret, and it will not be easy for Yang Xiaoran to find out their movements.

But no matter what they are planning, even if they don't know the content of the conversation, but one thing is certain, they are absolutely uneasy.

Trapped in such a situation, Yang Xiaoran felt that his view of the overall situation was too bad.Maybe she should have trained some people early on, a group of people called "spies, agents" to go deep into the enemy, maybe this way, it won't be so embarrassing now.

It was winter, and after a few heavy snowfalls, her mood was extremely cold.

Wasn’t that famous battle in later generations, the Korean War, which straightened the Chinese people’s spine for a hundred years, because they fought in winter, and a large number of volunteers froze to death?

The number of non-combat casualties far exceeded the number of combat deaths, and many soldiers who passed directly from the south did not even have a cotton coat to keep out the cold.

Many partners fell asleep in the winter snow and cold night, and did not wake up the next day.Sleeping on that land forever.

How similar is the situation of the Great Tang conquest of Goguryeo today?Although Datang is now powerful, its logistical supply is not necessarily much better than it was during the Korean War.Cotton has not been popularized yet, how can kapok resist the cold winter in the north?

Even if there are furs, it cannot be guaranteed that every fighter can use them.As the Central Plains went north, it became colder and colder, and the hands and feet were frozen stiff. How can we fight?
It is true that the waterways are advancing side by side, but now the Datang navy is all southerners!
Sure enough, after half a month, news of the rout came from the front line.Tang Jun, who was singing all the way, was blocked in Anshi (now the sea area of ​​​​Liaoning), and could no longer move forward.There was even news of a lack of medical care.

Li Shimin immediately mobilized his courtiers to transfuse blood to the front again.Don't worry about food, Datang has plenty of food, but it doesn't do anything to keep out the cold.

There is no other way but to distribute more kapok clothes.

Yang Xiaoran planted some cotton in the space, which Hou Junji brought back from Gaochang.After all, space grows fast, and she has already harvested part of it.There was cotton in Li Chengqian's battle robe.

But now it seems that this is not enough.She ordered people to collect duck down and chicken down, wash them, dry them and break them into pieces. After repeated starching, the linen was filled with cotton mixed with duck down and other things.

Although there will still be arch hairs, there is no fabric like down jackets in later generations, and it is difficult to stop these small hairs from appearing only by washing.

But at any rate, it is better than the current kapok clothes to keep out the cold, and it is also much lighter, so minor flaws can be ignored.

Large, medium, small, and extra-large pieces were all made, and then put into the space, and the work of duplicating them every day began.

She felt that it was time for her to leave.

Now is the time to get ready.Bandages, ointments to stop bleeding, and anti-inflammatory drugs are much more copied.And food.

Although Datang is not short of food, it is winter now, and it is snowing all the way to the north, and the road is difficult. Datang does not have a logistics team responsible for transportation, and it all depends on the folks to carry it to the front.

And if he could escape, it would be much faster than them to go into battle lightly.

Having prepared everything, Yang Xiaoran cooked another table of dishes this day, and invited his parents, elder brother and relatives to the palace.

Try to pretend to be indifferent, eat, drink, talk and laugh with your family, it's very lively.

The son-in-law went to the battlefield, and the daughter's behavior made Cheng Yaojin feel uneasy.

She, shouldn't she learn from that young lady of the Du family?

Do not!
This kid shouldn't be so unreliable.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Cheng Yaojin asked calmly while drinking: "Your Highness is not at home, are you still used to being in the East Palace?"

Yang Xiaoran pursed his lips, took a sip of wine, and remained silent for a while, before saying: "So what if I'm not used to it? He is the prince, so he should set an example. The same was true for the empress back then. My daughter married such a husband and gave me glory If you are rich, you will naturally have to bear these..."

Cheng Yaojin's heart tightened, he gave Yang Xiaoran a meaningful look, and said: "Well, my son is sensible, and in the future he will be like the empress, and be famous all over the world for his virtuousness."

Yang Xiaoran lowered his eyes, not daring to look at his grandfather.

She knew that her father looked rude, but he was actually the most delicate.Afraid that he would see something, he picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Grandfather, am I just trying to save face? This makes me feel uncomfortable, worried and afraid, and I can't sleep well at night. This is why You are calling to accompany me!"

She said coquettishly, "Grandfather, Auntie, the elder brothers are all here, so I feel more at ease."

"Amitabha!"

Pei clasped his hands together, "Don't think too much, the Buddha will protect His Highness!"

Yang Xiaoran nodded, and said with a smile: "Big Brother, Second Brother, you all eat! Don't be restrained, just like being at home..."

Cheng Chumo sighed, "I also want to ask for an order, and I want to go to the battlefield with His Highness, but I'm afraid that people will say that our Cheng family has other ideas..."

Yang Xiaoran lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Brother's ambition is on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather, it's my sister who killed you."

There was a crisp sound of "snap", and I saw Father Cheng raised his palm like a cattail leaf fan to the back of Cheng Chumo's head, "You bastard, why are you telling my sister these things? Are you dissatisfied with the decision I made? Or do you sincerely miss your sister? Let me tell you, if I live a day, you don’t even think about going up again! My little lady is already a princess, and our Cheng family is already extremely glorious. "

Cheng Chumo opened his mouth, and muttered: "Grandpa, I don't have that kind of thought. I just envy Changsun Chong and the others to go to the battlefield again..."

Yang Xiaoran pursed her lips, trying to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word.I just drank the wine silently, watching the mutton soup in the small red clay stove bubbling and steaming.

After a while, Yang Xiaoran smiled and said: "Aniang, I told Your Majesty that you will come to the palace to accompany me. The prince's elder brother is not at home. I can't do anything with these brats. Aniang, You want to take care of them for me..."

Pei Shi was naturally happy to hear that she could enter the palace to accompany her daughter, and said with a smile: "These brats are still so naughty?"
