The dispute between Dou Dan and Li Xiuning ended with Dou Dan getting a scabbard from Li Xiuning. ?? {? [
It sounds a bit exaggerated, but there's nothing strange about it.
Dou Dan was the consort, that is, Li Xiuning's brother-in-law, but he was also a subject of the Li family, and Li Xiuning was both the princess of Pingyang and the general who founded the mansion.
Not to mention giving Dou Dan a scabbard in anger, even chasing Dou Dan with a sword... It is nothing new among the Kansai clan.
The grace and splendor of the great nobles of Kansai are hidden in their cruelty and barbarity.
It can be said that the bravery and wildness in the Sui border areas are mostly reflected in the lower class people, while the bravery in Guanxi and Hebei and Shandong are mainly reflected in the wealthy families.
Moreover, Dou Dan's punishment for the scabbard was not unjust.
He had known about Li Shimin's defeat of Xue Rengao for a long time, but he had not revealed it to Li Xiuning.
The reason for this is also very simple. The delay in news these days is a very frustrating thing, but we can use this to write some articles.
If Li Shi wanted to seek peace, this matter could be used as a bargaining chip to talk to Li Po.
But even if the two sides really stop fighting, the matter will become a secret. If the Hedong side finds out one day later, it may bring some good opportunities to the Li family.
So Li Xiuning's hiding was just a matter of love and gift...
After a dispute, Li Xiuning began to ask people to pack their bags.
She is a strong person, and although she has been angry from time to time during her stay in Jiangjun, it can be said that she has lived a relatively comfortable life in the past few years.
Unfortunately, unsatisfactory things happen all the time in the world, and the feeling of being stuck in the middle is not a good feeling.
It was just that Li Po was wary of her, but the feeling that her relatives behind her were also unreliable really made her worried. So after weighing the situation, Li Xiuning also wanted to return home.
Wei Jie did everything, Dou Dan hesitated, and only one person was left with an idea. So after the winter snow, Li Xiuning came to say goodbye to Li Po.
Li Po didn't try to keep him, so he sent his people to the outskirts of the county town.
This pair of troubled men and women, who had a rather strange relationship, did not cause any drama of reluctant farewell. After a simple mutual respect, Li Xiuning immediately led the people south.
Looking at the backs of the group of people, Li Po didn't have any special emotions.
The Tang envoy did not have much goodwill here, and it did no great harm to him, but it had no constructive effect. Therefore, it does not matter whether the Tang envoy stayed or left.
The reason why he didn't drive them away was just because there was one Li Xiuning among the Tang envoys.
Among the children of the Li family, he finally made a friend. It was just a way out back then, but now it doesn't mean much. Instead, it has the effect of a vague bond, which is really disappointing.
Unexpected.
Li Po looked at the sky, a little proud of his ability to make "friends", but also a little depressed, because if the friend he made was a woman, it would always cause a lot of messy troubles, which was far less enjoyable and straightforward than making friends with men.
.
Li Po turned his horse around and led his people back to the city. In his opinion, the return of the Tang Dynasty envoy to the south meant that all the major events and minor affairs of the year were almost over, and only the suppression of bandits was left.
He really wanted to see the head of Emperor Dasheng, because the second half of the year was very uncomfortable. He always felt like he was holding a fire in his heart, a fire that needed blood and life to extinguish. Of course
, maybe this will also be the first emperor he kills...
…………………………
Chang'an.
Snowflakes were also falling on Longyuan at this time, and the north wind blew the snowflakes whistling over the magnificent Chang'an City.
More than ten miles outside the west city, Zuo Wuwei General Jiang Baoyi stood on the left side of the road with his helmet and armor on his horse. Behind him, a group of dozens of people stood silently. They were all generals in General Zuo Wuwei's mansion.
You can tell by their looks that they are here to pick someone up.
Of course, there are not many people who can make Zuo Wuwei General Jiang Baoyi meet Dao Zuo.
General Jiang's reputation is not very good. He suffered a series of defeats in Jin and lost all his prestige. However, after he returned to Chang'an, his power was even more prominent than before.
Most of the princes and nobles smiled when they saw him, because the palace guards were now under the jurisdiction of the Zuowu Guards, and the Husband and Xiaoweifu were squeezed out of the palace and could only be stationed outside the imperial city.
.
Therefore, there are only three military brigades left in the palace city, the residence of General Zuowuwei, the Prince's East Palace garrison, and the Qianniu Beishen residence.
The last one is undoubtedly the royal guard. There are many capable people and strangers among them. In fact, their functions are somewhat similar to those of the later Jinyi Guards or Dongchang West Factory, but they are not large-scale and the personnel are relatively loose. They can be regarded as the disciples of the world.
Best way.
It goes without saying that Jiang Baoyi, who escaped from Jin all the way back to Chang'an, won the emperor's trust. It was the time when the spring breeze was triumphant, and there were really few heroes and veterans who could compare with him.
Jiang Baoyi stood in the wind and snow, as motionless as a sculpture, his eyes just staring at the official road to the west. The aura on his body was indeed different from when he was guarding Jiexiu.
It can be seen that no matter how incompetent a person is, after experiencing war and being influenced by power, he will be able to shape himself. Jiang Baoyi, a general, finally became something like that after enjoying his time as a general.
The sound of horse hooves in the west cheered up Jiang Baoyi. Several horses came galloping through the wind and snow on the spacious official road. When Jiang Baoyi approached, he rolled his saddle and dismounted.
"Report to the general, His Highness the King of Qin is ten miles away."
Jiang Baoyi nodded slightly, but involuntarily felt a sense of pride in his heart. His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who had made great achievements in military affairs, returned to the capital. Some people said that all officials should greet him in the suburbs, some suggested that the kings should follow the path, and some said that it would be better to sue
As for the people of Chang'an, let them burn incense and wait...
Amid various opinions, in the end, it was Jiang Baoyi who led his people to greet him...
In fact, he is not idle now. He is trying his best to find the opportunity to lead the army, preferably at Longmen and other places. He has been famous in Chang'an for some time, but he still feels the shame of running thousands of miles away.
I remember it very clearly.
If he could lead his troops back to Jin, he felt that he would be able to avenge his previous humiliation. Of course, it would be best not to have incompetent people like Li Zhongwen, Li Shentong or Pei Ji weighing on him and preventing him from displaying his talents.
I have to say that this is a very beautiful and ambitious idea, but only God knows who would dare to let an unlucky guy like him lead the army in front of the enemy.
The flag of King Qin Li Shimin danced fiercely in the wind and snow, and the sound of horse hoofbeats gradually became more intensive. Jiang Baoyi even felt the ground tremble.
Jiang Baoyi's face turned pale, and fear spread in his heart. When the dark cloud-like cavalry from Northern Shanxi charged forward, the terrible scene of landslides and seas crashing into the sea appeared in front of Jiang Baoyi's eyes again.
This kind of war trauma syndrome has been plaguing Jiang Baoyi. In fact, beneath the glamorous appearance and imaginary ambitions, he is just a man who was frightened by the cruel war.
Hundreds of cavalrymen occupied the official road and marched at a leisurely pace.
Jiang Baoyi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of the situation to bow down. When the knights came closer, he said loudly: "General Jiang Baoyi, the last general of Zuowuwei, welcomes the King of Qin back to the capital after his victory."
The knights tightened the reins of their horses in turn, and the dark armor on their bodies was stained with some silver. As they reined in the horses, there was a clanging sound. The strong bodies, rough faces, and indifferent eyes, everything was interpreting the relationship between them.
The bravery of the Westerners also exudes the chilling spirit of those who have fought for the rest of their lives.
This is the Xuanjia Army, the King of Qin's army that showed great success in the battle to defeat Xue Rengao in the northwest. This is an army built by Li Shimin, mainly composed of heavy cavalry and supported by light cavalry. The number is small.
There were only a few hundred people, but they were the first to break into Xue Rengao's army under the command of Qin King Li Shimin, and broke into Xue Rengao's central army in one fell swoop, contributing to the great defeat of Xue Rengao.
They are now led by Murong Luohu, the general from the left of the Prince of Qin's palace, and Zhai Changsun, the general of Xue Rengao's tribe.
If it were anyone else, they would be full of admiration at this time. A strong northwest army should look like this. However, Jiang Baoyi, who had experienced the war in Jin, besides being envious of King Qin's meritorious service, was disgusted with these cavalry and was full of disdain.
, he is a person who has seen big events, so the cavalry "cannot frighten" him.
The cavalry separated like waves, revealing King Li Shimin of Qin under the banner.
The second son of the emperor, the master of the Palace of the Prince of Qin, the Grand Marshal of the Northwestern Road March, and the Minister of Xingtai in Shuzhong had grown up rapidly during the war.
His face is no longer so handsome, and has become extremely rough like his subordinates. His eyes are no longer so smart, but full of majesty. His body looks much thinner, but there is no feeling of weakness at all.
Sitting on the horse like a nail, he looked almost integrated with the battle flag behind him.
To be honest, if Li Po were here at this time, he would be jealous and mutter a few words about the pretty boy.
It can be said that today Li Shimin is unswervingly climbing towards the pinnacle of life. Li Yuan always thinks that this son is very similar to Emperor Yang Guang.
But how could Li Shimin, who led troops in conquests and fought his way out of troubled times, be similar to Yang Guang? They are two completely different people. Perhaps the only thing they have in common is their desire for merit?
Of course, they also share the same hypocrisy that belongs only to the superiors.
When Li Shimin saw Jiang Baoyi greeting him by the roadside, there was a hint of disgust in his eyes. He then turned over and dismounted, walked over with a big smile, and held Jiang Baoyi's arm.
"Don't be too polite. Thank you very much, General Jiang, for coming to greet me. People in the northwest have always heard of the general's reputation for loyalty. We meet again today, and I'm going to have a drink with the general afterwards."
With his hearty smile and sincere words, he is a completely different person compared to the still immature second son of the Li family in Yunnei.
