No one knew that on the night of the last day of the fourteenth year of the great cause, Li Po, as the lord of the two states, had completely put aside those vague scruples, bent his bow and arrows, and prepared to fight with the heroes of the world.
It's been quite a battle.
It is said that times create heroes, and some say that heroes create times.
No matter how you say it, today, the competition with others has become a reality. It is too early for Li Po to say that he is competing for the world, but the land of Jin is right in front of him.
Moreover, most of the land of Jin is still Li Tang's territory. Even if Li Po doesn't believe in gods and ghosts, he has to sigh at this time, what can he do if God's will is like this?
In fact, if he hadn't come from Daizhou, with the Yellow River to the west, Taihang to the east, and the south of Jin being quite wealthy, according to his "excellent" foresight, he might have simply changed his banner and joined the rising power.
Li Tang is gone.
According to this, there is indeed a bit of God's will to trick people.
The magnificent Tang Dynasty in his imagination gradually faded away, and his ambition, which was not very commendable, finally broke through the fragmented cage and raged in his chest and mind.
……………………
As soon as the New Year is over, God immediately changes his face, the snow stops, the wind stops, the sky is clear, and the sun leisurely climbs into the sky.
The weather was nice, and Jinyang City, which was quiet at the end of the year, gradually became lively on the first day of the new year.
With a little joy, people got out of the house and looked at the whiteness everywhere, and their mood became better.
Those who were clearing the snow, visiting relatives and friends, and some literati began to feel restless. In the cold weather, they went out of the city together to find a quiet place to enjoy the snow.
The several military camps outside the city were just the opposite. Before the New Year's Eve, soldiers came and went, which was very lively for a while, but once the New Year's Eve passed, they quietly became alert.
Because spring is coming, the Wei Mansion has issued military orders, and the soldiers have stepped up their drills. The military camps in various places must not only defend Jinyang, but also prepare to welcome the troops gathered from various ministries to enter.
As for the grain and grass in the Jinyang warehouse, soldiers must accompany Jinyang officials for inspection, and some warehouses must be cleared. When the army from various places arrives, the grain and grass will also accompany it.
This time the grain and grass transfer was still led by Sima Wang Qing of the General Manager's Office, but the two guard offices that had been set up also intervened, but it was much more organized than before when they went north to the grassland.
Food and grass will be allocated from Loufan and Yanmen, and cattle and sheep from Mayi and Yunnei will enter Loufan and Yanmen to make up for their losses.
Immediately, Li Po sent an order to Yu Wenxin, the prefect of Yanmen, and Duanfang, the captain of Yunnei County, to lead 500 soldiers, accompanied by Liu Jing, to select the relatives of Ashina Elivo among the Turkic prisoners of war, and to go north to the Turks to participate in the upcoming war.
The Turkic League was held.
The so-called big gift, Li Po thought about it over and over, that's all. He didn't have Empress Xiao here, just gold and silver, and even others would look down on it.
It would be better to just send back the descendants of the Ashina clan who were captured in previous wars. The goodwill expressed there should be enough.
But someone came to trouble Li Po again.
Princess Jialan, Ash was so fragrant that she didn’t want to go back.
Li Bi asked before telling Li Po that Ashina Peony might have come to appease the mad princess and told her that after she returned to the royal court, the Khan had chosen a husband for her and was going to marry her to Jieli Khan.
Ashina Qiuluo.
After hearing this, Astian Tianxiang did not feel any peace of mind. Instead, he became even more resentful towards his mother.
Ashina Qiuluo, the son of Shibi Khan Ashina Dujishi, according to seniority, he should be the nephew of Ashina Tianxiang. Of course, this is not the point. Marriage within the Ashina family has always been
I don't care about these ethical things.
The point is, Ashina Tianxiang knew that the person Ashina Qiuluo had always wanted to marry was Ashina Dubi's daughter, Ashina Anlan, another exceptionally beautiful flower among the Turks.
What would she encounter if she went to Ashina Qiuluo's tent? This reminded her of Ashina Qiulu. This time she no longer admired any hero. She only felt cold from head to toe.
Of course, staying in Sui is also a kind of torture for her. The only advantage is that the food and drink here are very good, right?
The so-called "lesser" of two evils, at least no one here forced her to marry...
In fact, the girl's idea is quite simple. She just wants to stay here for a while and wait for her mother to change her mind before going back.
As the old saying goes, don't be afraid that good things will not happen, just be afraid that there will be no good people.
Li Bi was furious after hearing this. In her eyes, her husband was upright and he was naturally a good man that no one in the world could compare with.
If you go back on your word to this point, even the Turkic Khan or the Sui eldest princess will not be able to do it.
Moreover, she also has a rather strange logic. She doesn't like women who enter the house of the general manager very much, and she is very jealous. But if others try to covet her, she will immediately become a food-protecting maniac.
.
Treating Wang Qi like this is actually the same as treating Ashina Tianxiang.
If my husband doesn’t want to marry, that’s our family’s business. If you marry someone else, where will that leave my family?
A very irrational logic.
Of course, in this era, reasonable people have shrunk their heads, leaving only unreasonable people wandering around.
So, while she was discussing with Li Po, she said that Princess Jialan had very strong intentions and could not kidnap her and send her to the royal court. What would happen then? It would be better to stay in the mansion first, which would also give the Khan a little chance.
Not scruples?
Li Po felt that what his wife said made sense, so he left it to his wife to deal with it.
In fact, according to Li Po's idea, it would not be bad to leave a hostage. If necessary, he would just ask to marry the Turkic princess.
In this regard, he is similar to many men these days. He will neither be fascinated by anyone nor hesitate to look forward and backward.
He has all the pros and cons in his mind, and like many major things, he doesn't need others to push or dissuade him.
But Li Bi is different from others. Her power also exceeds that of many women in the boudoir. She is never ambiguous in major matters. Following Li Po all the way, she has an extraordinary status in the eyes of the officials and generals of the two states.
Extraordinary.
In a word, people have their own reputation.
So, they first stabilized the husband, and then sent a secret letter to Yu Wenxin, asking him to discuss the marriage between the two families with the Turkic Khan when he was on a mission to the Turks.
Well, Li Po really didn't expect that his wife would kick him from behind.
The only thing that worries Li Bi is that Ashi Tianxiang's status is too noble. Will talking about marriage allow people to spy on her position as housewife?
Therefore, the letter to Yu Wenxin is a bit long, and the words are relatively euphemistic. Yu Wenxin, who was in Yanmen, was already a bit over-the-top. At such a time, he left Yanmen to go on an mission to the Turks. Was he being favored by others, or was he being ignored?
punish?
When he received Li Bi's letter, he felt a little anxious.
Obviously, this mission got involved in Li's family affairs. The only thing that made him a little strange was that the two letters seemed to be a bit reversed. The man was not fascinated by women, but the woman was rushing to find a wife for her man.
,What does it mean?
Of course, Yu Wenxin is also very human. He is a guy who is always looking for opportunities in crises. Although his mind was full of mush, soon after, he led his people northward to join Duanfang with high spirits.
What he was thinking at this time was completely different from before. No matter how difficult it was, he, Yu Wenxin, could handle it properly and show his true qualities as a man.
As for the Turkic Alliance, I can see it once in my lifetime. Traveling among countless Turkic dignitaries, a man who can encounter such a rare opportunity will have no regrets in his life.
It sounds like self-consolation, but compared with the melancholy Dugu Huaien, Yu Wenxin is obviously better than him.
……………………
After the episode, Li Po put the matter aside, because no matter how he thought, the Turks would not stab him in the back during this year.
When the city by the Cangshui River is built, and it forms a horn with Yunnei and Mayi County cities, it will not be so easy for the Turks to go south from Daizhou.
Originally, he wanted to bring Yun Nei Dan out to join Lingqiu and form a separate county. In addition to guarding the Feihu crossing, he could also defend against Turks.
Later, because he wanted to build a city by the Cangshui River, he gave up.
The atmosphere of war is gradually getting thicker. There will no longer be any plans this time. The Tang army, which is very close at hand, is probably also planning to retake Jinyang Jiancheng.
But they will not act rashly.
In fact, Jinyang took the initiative to send troops southward, which was what the Tang army wanted to see, because facing the fortified city of Jinyang, they had nothing to do.
Generally speaking, the change of hands of a big city like Jinyang is the final result of various reasons. Leading troops to attack by force is the stupidest way.
Detecting the movements of the Tang army was the first step in the war. The weather was still too cold, so there was no need to make the soldiers suffer, and there was no need to make the Tang army alert at this time.
In fact, both sides understand that this year's war will be inevitable. When will it start, the initiative is firmly in Li Po's hands.
The footsteps of the war are gradually becoming clearer, and military orders from the General Manager's Office and the Guard's Office are being drafted.
Li Po immediately ordered Xue Wanjun, the military training ambassador who was in Yanmen, to come to Jinyang to replace Li Bi as the Sima of the General Administration, responsible for military law, recruitment, and military training.
Then he sent an order to Chen Yuan, the captain of Mayi County, asking him to summon the horse infantry brigades of all Mayi troops and set off south immediately when the weather got warmer.
Liu Jingsheng, the lieutenant of Yanmen County, and Wang Zhibian, the lieutenant of Loufan County, also received the same order.
This is not the first time that Li Po has led an army to take the initiative to attack, but there is no doubt that this dispatch is of great significance. The horse and infantry armies will also cooperate in the battle. The scale of mobilization is also unmatched by any previous war.
To what extent the armies of the two merged states encountered each other can be clearly seen when the armies gathered.
Since the two states were pacified, the military system has been slowly developing, and there is no military mobilization yet. This war can only be said to have mobilized most of the standing troops from the two states.
