Amid the howling cold wind, more than a thousand cavalry troops slowly entered Ji City along the walls of Linshuo Palace.￥f
At the beginning of winter, Ashina Rongzhen finally led his army to Zhuojun.
When Li Po got the news, he didn't go out to greet him and made some false stories. He just waited in the main hall of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion.
The red eyes covered with frost and snow were still so lively. When they saw Li Po, they rushed towards him like a galloping horse.
Li Po was startled. Judging from her posture, she didn't mean to throw herself into her arms. She seemed to want to hug Li Po and spin her around in a circle.
Li Po was in a good mood, but he didn't want to let a woman hug him in front of everyone. That would be too embarrassing.
So, he firmly planted his feet and hugged the red eyeball that rushed towards him. Judging from the posture, it was not ordinary enthusiasm.
The guards next to him and the generals who followed him were envious, but they all showed some lewd smiles, feeling that the general was too impatient.
But we are all men, so we all "understand" it. The Heng'an Town Army fought countless battles this year, and the homesickness of the soldiers was especially obvious after the war.
And everyone knows that homesickness is a term used by literati, but in fact it means that they miss their mother-in-law.
Youzhou is also a place with many women, so when the army successively selected a place to stay, many soldiers found women in Youzhou.
There is nothing we can do about this matter. As long as no one messes around and violates one of the most taboo military rules of the Heng'an Town Army, the generals will choose to turn a blind eye.
The general is also a man. It is admirable for the general's determination that he did not choose a few good girls from wealthy families in Youzhou to accompany him. Now this small move is not really shocking.
Li Po was really in a good mood when he saw the red eyes, because Li Bineng sent Ashina Rongzhen to lead troops to Zhuojun. This only shows that the manpower in Yunnei is not too tight, especially when a message was sent to Zhuojun in late autumn.
The tribe went south, so it seems like there shouldn't be any serious problems now.
So, that night, Li Po held a banquet in his mansion, accompanied by Wen Yanbo, to entertain the generals who were staying in Zhuo County, and by the way, he talked about what else he could do this winter.
This night was a great time for the guests and the host.
Wen Yanbo was made drunk by the generals. This man was a typical Sui Dynasty official. He was eloquent and knowledgeable, but he was by no means weak. He was good at riding and shooting, and had some talents.
Especially those who are upright and upright, and say whatever they say. When troubled times come, such people will either be killed quickly or attract the attention of others.
This guy is lucky. Youzhou Luo Yi's foundation is unstable and he needs to calm the place.
The next Li Po is similar, and he needs talents like him to serve, so his life as a descendant is quite satisfying, but I don't know how long this person can stay in the Li Po shogunate.
You know, he is not an insignificant person. He comes from a wealthy family in Taiyuan. His elder brother Wen Daya is also highly regarded by Li Yuan. Maybe at some point, the elder brother will make a move and this person will sneak away.
It's not easy for Li Po to retain talents these days. If he wants to retain people, it seems like he hasn't put in enough effort now.
After everyone had dispersed, Hongyan Zhuer couldn't wait to run out and drank some more with Li Po, who was in a good mood.
"She didn't listen to you and took us to fight with the enemy. She was chopped twice. If I hadn't protected her..."
Hongyanzhu'er sold Li Bi without hesitation. The way Turkic women compete for favor is a bit rough, and they don't even know how to tactfully complain.
What Li Po heard was a burst of panic, and there was not much left in his drunkenness.
Damn it, this woman really hasn't had her bed for three days. She needs to be dealt with properly when she gets back, otherwise her words will fall on deaf ears. It's really troublesome to marry such a woman.
While he was annoyed, Hong Yanzhu had quietly come to his side, folded his neck, and put it on his shoulder. He sighed comfortably, while not forgetting to drink a lot of wine, feeling that if he could live like this all the time,
Only when you go down can you feel the taste.
Li Po slapped her head angrily, "Is she seriously injured? She won't take Xiaochun with her, right? Where is Xiaochun, is she injured?"
The red-eyed girl stubbornly fixed her head in one position, and hugged Li Po's waist. As usual, she told the truth.
"The injury is not serious, it will heal after a while. Before I came here, I told me not to tell you, but God said you can't deceive your husband... My younger sister has accepted a disciple and is teaching her how to use a sword.
Didn’t follow him out…”
Li Po breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked suspiciously, "Xiaochun has accepted a disciple?"
The red eyes squinted comfortably, "Well, she accepted it because she saw how pitiful she was."
Li Po was very dissatisfied. He had only been away for a few months. His family seemed to have rebelled. How old was Li Chun before he dared to accept an apprentice?
That bastard from Yanlu, let him stay in Yunnei, not just to eat and sleep.
He would not think about it at the moment, but Yan Lu's riding skills had always been very poor, and the cavalry was just a drag on them, not even as good as Yuan Muye.
When he asked about the war in the autumn, Li Po knew all about it, and Li Po felt a cold sweat on his forehead.
He felt that Li Bi must be struggling, so his desire to go back to Yunnei as soon as possible became stronger. He had to go back quickly and ask if he didn't want to live anymore.
When he spoke again, Hongyanzhu's breathing was thin and silent. He turned his head slightly and looked, and found that Hongyanzhu had fallen asleep on his shoulder.
Li Po was very dissatisfied, but he still picked him up and sent him back to the room.
After struggling to unload the person on the bed, Li Po also fell down. Now he felt that the women around him seemed to be taller and taller. Could it be that he liked women like this?
In his wild thoughts, Li Po didn't bother to go out and look for a place to stay, so he climbed into bed and squinted.
That night, Li Po had a nightmare. He kept struggling in the water, paddling as hard as he could, but he couldn't come out of sleep. He couldn't hold in his last breath and woke up immediately.
Breathing in big gulps of air, he felt a severe tightness in his chest. When he looked, he found that the red-eyed girl was lying on top of him, sleeping soundly.
Li Po pushed the person away and looked at the red-eyed child who still didn't look awake at all. He admired him in his heart. People with simple minds are different from others. They live a beautiful life with good food and sleep.
…………………………
On this day, Li Po was in a daze. He really felt homesick. It was actually a good feeling to be concerned about him, but being worried about him was not that comfortable either.
At this time, the Xue brothers appeared again in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, coming to talk to Li Po.
Speaking of which, these two brothers were also somewhat unlucky. Their father was seriously ill, and the two of them suddenly lost their backbone, allowing Luo Yi to successfully seize the military power in Youzhou.
After their father died, the two wanted to protect his soul and return home, but Luo Yi refused to let him go, so they had no choice but to live in Youzhou, just like two idlers.
When Li Po killed Luo Yi and took control of Zhuo County, he had no intention of recruiting talents. Perhaps Wen Yanbo was busy with immigration and had forgotten about their brothers. Perhaps he was concerned about the newcomers and did not want to follow the generals.
They were involved, so no one cared about these two brothers.
To be honest, at the beginning, the two brothers were a little complacent.
No matter who it is, Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, or Li Po, the general manager of Daizhou, they don't pay much attention to it. It's just right for you to ignore me. When we have the opportunity, we will leave quietly.
Unfortunately, at the beginning of the immigration, especially after Wen Yanbo presided over the immigration, every household moving to the west had to register first, so no one could escape.
It was impossible for the brothers to drag their families back to the east of the river. Even if they crossed the border of Zhuojun, they would not be able to go far.
Wei Dao'er and Dou Jiande were on the south side. On the east side, they had to go through Feihukou and Yanmen. Neither road was prepared for their brothers.
As a result, the unlucky couple could only feel sorry for themselves at home. They pitifully pitied their father who was a hero all his life, but the person who was mourning him at the end of his life was a traitor, a dignified general, and his two sons were not even allowed to send him back to his hometown.
What the hell kind of world is this?
In fact, at this moment, they missed the arrival of Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou. After all, Luo Yi still valued their brothers. As long as they nodded, they would be the two leading generals.
But this acting governor is very bad. He doesn't show any courtesy to people like them. He is really not a person who does big things.
But think about it deeply and look at the current situation. Let’s not talk about the previous wars, but let’s talk about the hard-hearted people who can order the people of Youzhou to move to Jin without hesitation.
The two brothers were so worried that they could only put down their bodies and throw themselves into the trap.
In fact, the psychology of people like them is easy to understand. They are worried about gains and losses, and they are still struggling with a man's career.
If you want ambitious and talented people to stay honest and honest, what kind of disputes will arise in this world?
Therefore, these are two people who are proud of their talents and unwilling to be lonely.
Li Po had seen a lot of people like this, especially the thoughts of soldiers, and he couldn't be more familiar with them.
The two Xue brothers are actually very similar to the Yuchi brothers in terms of origin, position, and experience.
Of course, the most similar thing about them is that they both have fathers who are famous and have high official positions.
The difference is that Yang Yichen only heard of his name, but Li Po had a more concrete impression of Xue Shixiong. After all, they had traveled through Liaodong together.
During the first battle of conquering Liao that year, there were a few people who made the deepest impression on Li Po.
Let’s not talk about the ones with terrible impressions, just the ones with better impressions.
The first one was Mai Tiezhang. Li Po saw this man die in battle on the banks of the Liaoshui River. Although this man was a bit stupid and accepted the mission to die, as a soldier, he still felt sorry for his bravery and steadfastness.
