Chapter 85 It's not too late to mend the prison
"Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the largest city in the world today. You can probably visit it all in one day."
As soon as Li Yao said this, he felt a little regretful. He couldn't help but glance at the little girl's face, and saw a flash of expectation on the little girl's face, which soon turned into an expression of realization. She nodded to herself and said to Li Yao seriously.
: "Sister, I happened to hear Captain He say that the team will be repairing here for two days. Let's go shopping in the city tomorrow. Anyway, it's not as big as Chang'an here, so it won't take more than a day to finish the tour."
Li Yao almost wanted to slap himself in the mouth, and said angrily: "I am a poor man who likes peace and quiet."
Qiaoqiao was riding on a donkey, her little hands pulling hard on the mane, her nose quivering rapidly, her clear eyes immediately becoming misty, and with the accompaniment of the donkey's braying, she sobbed: "Sister, I like peace and quiet, Qiaoqiao
But it doesn’t work. Whenever Qiaoqiao calms down, she will think of the tragic death of Aweng, Apo, Aye, Aniang, Brother, Sister..."
Li Yao was so embarrassed, oh my God! Here we go again! She was like Sun Wukong who heard the curse. Her brain immediately started to hurt, and she hurriedly compromised and said: "Don't cry, don't cry. Isn't it okay for me to accompany you?"
Qiaoqiao let the poor donkey go, wiped her tears with her hands and said, "Qiaoqiao knows that my sister will agree, because my sister is the best person in the world."
Just when Li Yao felt ashamed for being evaluated as "the best person in the world", the caravan finally arrived in the west area of the city. Through the open west gate not far away, the Yellow River could be clearly seen, and the Yellow River could be clearly seen.
You can vaguely hear the sound of waves. Because it is close to the Yellow River ferry, many houses in the west of the city can provide accommodation for business travelers. The camel caravan of more than 2,000 people seemed huge, but it didn't take long to find accommodation for them all.
, then the leader of the caravan, He Panyi, under the warm invitation of Duke Liang, took his younger brother He Panzhi and the ranger Luo Renjun, two newly promoted officials, to the Duke's Mansion as a guest.
Li Yao naturally moved into the place with the best conditions. As soon as he stepped into the lush green courtyard, the hot breath disappeared without a trace. Fen'er and Xuan'er, who were so exhausted that their heads were drooping, immediately started fighting.
He regained his energy, and then raised his buttocks and bumped hard. They both pushed away Qiaoqiao, who was obviously at a disadvantage. They supported Li Yao's arms on the left and right, and said with a sweet smile: "We have been here before. There is an underground spring behind the yard.
We also built a hot spring pool, which is very comfortable to bathe in.”
Li Yao's eyes brightened slightly and asked: "Is the spring water hot or cold?"
Fen'er responded respectfully: "The spring water here is originally cold, but the mechanism is clever. Before the water is led to the soup pool, a fire can be lit in the secret passage to heat it. If the master wants hot water to wash, the maid can go and tell the head of the household.
, just teach him how to set off."
About half an hour later, Li Yao leaned on the smooth stone edge of the soup pool, lazily soaking in the steamy water. To her left, the maid Fen'er was sitting in the water, holding a cup of buttermilk in one hand.
, holding a spoon in one hand and feeding it into the mouth of the hostess, while the maid Xuan'er sat sideways on the right, gently wiping one of the hostess's jade arms. At the same time, Li Yao raised one foot and rested it on the hand named Yu Qiao.
The Taoist boy happened to be on his knees, enjoying the other party's self-taught foot massage. It was really very pleasant.
Li Yao had to secretly sigh for the changes in her psychology and physiology. The three women were bathing together, and all she could see were fair and shiny beautiful bodies. If she said she was not excited at all, she would be deceiving herself, but if it were any other physiological
A man with a normal mind and body would get a nosebleed just by looking at her, but she was obviously far from that level.
So under this situation, Li Yao still had the energy to inquire about other things. He happily swallowed a mouthful of buttermilk and said, "Fen'er, Xuan'er, where were you both born and raised in?" Man, I see that Duke Liang is so familiar with He Erlang, and he must have a good relationship with your former master He Sabao. I wonder if you can tell me who he is?"
Hui'er and Xuan'er looked at each other and then heard Hui'er say: "Reporting to the master, I know something, but not much. The Duke of Liang's surname is An. It is said that he has made great contributions to this dynasty and is related to the He family. The marriage relationship and more specific matters are unknown to me."
Li Yao always felt that it was not reassuring that He Panyi was invited as a guest by Duke Liang. He rubbed his temples and forced his brain, which had become a little slow due to taking a bath, to search for the information in his memory. It took a lot of effort. I was so excited that I finally remembered a historical figure named An who was granted the title of Duke of Liang in the early Tang Dynasty - An Xinggui.
This An Xinggui is also a Sogdian, but he is not a Hu businessman like He Panren who was fooled by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. His ancestor Ananda settled in Liangzhou as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty. After more than ten generations, it has now developed An Xinggui became a local prominent family. An Xinggui's father, An Luo, was the governor of Shizhou in the former Sui Dynasty and the founding father of Guixiang County. He could be said to be a son of a high-ranking family, and he himself was already an old subordinate of Li Yuan in the former Sui Dynasty.
Speaking of which, this man was also brave. When the Tang Dynasty was newly established and the political power was unstable, he dared to ask Li Yuan to return to his hometown to persuade Li Gui, who had become the king, to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Li Gui relied on Tuyuhun and the Turks to separatize the Hexi Corridor. , with one hundred thousand troops, and there was also a natural pass like Wushaoling that was extremely difficult to conquer. If the Tang Dynasty raised troops to attack it, it would probably be costly, so Li Yuan agreed to let him go and give it a try.
However, things did not go smoothly. An Xinggui tried his best to persuade Li Gui, but instead received threats and warnings from the other party.
So An Xinggui came up with a second-hand solution. Seeing that Li Gui was stubborn and unpopular, he teamed up with his younger brother An Xiuren, who was the Minister of Household Affairs in Daliang at the time, and Xue Ju's old minister Xi Daoyi to attract Hu soldiers to defeat him in one fell swoop. Li Gui and captured him alive, so that the Tang Dynasty wiped out the feudal princes in one area without using a single soldier, and gained all the land thousands of miles west of the Hexi River. Only then could An Xinggui be granted the title of Duke of Liang.
In view of this, Liang Guoan Xinggui was not only resourceful, but also a man who was definitely proficient in military affairs. Li Yao had to worry about Pan Yi and worry about himself.
If she had known this, she should have carefully explained to He Panyi her specific ideas for annihilating the Tuyuhun cavalry in Weizhou, so as to prevent him from being confused and exposed when he was asked about it. But now it was obviously too late.
It’s not too late to remedy the situation. It seems that it’s best to solve your own problems by yourself!
