"Yuanji, please explain to me clearly why you ended the war before I came and sent Liu Hongji, Su Dingfang and others to the war. Why didn't you wait for me?"
Huai'an County Government Office.
Li Xiuning, dressed in military uniform, asked aggressively.
Li Yuanji couldn't avoid it no matter what, so he simply stood there and sighed: "Sister, you are also a master of the art of war. You should understand that fighter planes are fleeting, so it's not that I don't wait for you, but that fighter planes wait for no one."
ah."
Li Xiuning stood in front of Li Yuanji and continued to say aggressively: "Okay, I think what you said is true, then you can send me to rescue Su Dingfang now."
Li Yuanji sighed and said: "Sister, Su Dingfang's troops have left Qingzhou now, and I don't know where they are now. Besides, Jieli has been defeated and is now running away like a lost dog.
Su Dingfang and the others are just beating up the drowned dog, you go and help them fight together, if word gets out, others will think that I, Datang, are bullying others."
Li Xiuning suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Then tell me, how do you explain the attack on Dalang Mountain after Liu Hongji left Xiaoguan?
If Jie Li really became a lost dog, how dare he set up an ambush in Dalang Mountain to attack Liu Hongji and others."
Li Yuanji sighed: "This is just an accident."
Li Xiuning said in disbelief: "What kind of accident? The other party sent out ten thousand troops to ambush Liu Hongji and others. It was clearly premeditated."
Li Yuanji didn't know how to explain it to Li Xiuning.
It was indeed an accident that Liu Hongji was ambushed after leaving Xiaoguan.
The Turks who were ambushing in Dalang Mountain were sent by Jieli to ambush Li Jing and his party. It is said that the leader of the troops was Yugu, Jieli's son.
Who would have known that these people did not meet Li Jing and his entourage at Dalang Mountain, but instead met Liu Hongji.
So in order to avoid Liu Hongji discovering his whereabouts, he chose to strike first, which ultimately led to Liu Hongji's disastrous defeat and the loss of hundreds of soldiers.
Although Liu Hongji fought back afterwards and defeated these people, allowing them to escape outside the Great Wall, Liu Hongji's defeat was a defeat, and there was no way to hide it.
After the news reached Huai'an, Li Xiuning quickly learned about it and began to attack the matter.
This matter is over, and it was an accident. It was not that Liu Hongji really encountered strong soldiers or fierce resistance, so there is really nothing to explain.
Li Xiuning now stubbornly said that Liu Hongji had encountered strong soldiers and wanted to use this opportunity to rush to the aid of Su Dingfang.
Li Yuanji really didn't know how to explain it, and even if he explained it clearly, Li Xiuning wouldn't listen.
"Second brother, you came just in time. Please explain to me what happened to Liu Hongji."
At this moment, Li Yuanji saw Li Shimin walking out of the lobby of the county government office and immediately began to blame him.
Before Li Shimin could refuse, Li Yuanji had already abandoned Li Shimin and Li Xiuning and left.
It's not that he doesn't want Li Xiuning to go to Su Dingfang's aid, but it's not the time for Li Xiuning to go to Su Dingfang's aid.
When Su Dingfang chased Jieli out of Qingzhou, he happened to encounter Sunisu who had taken a detour from Yanzhou, and the two sides fought a big battle outside Qingzhou.
Sunisi was very cautious in using his troops, much more cautious than Jieli and Tuli.
The current situation and situation of the battle are unclear, and it is not known whether Suni Shi has dispatched reinforcements after leaving Yanzhou, so it is not easy to send Li Xiuning to take risks.
After all, the place where Suni lost his command was not too far from Yanzhou.
If he had sent troops to Jixia again when he escaped from Yeonju, reinforcements would have arrived in Gyeongju by now.
"Your Highness, there is news from Daizhou that His Highness the King of Hejian has handed over the conquest of Li Yi to Li Shiji and Chai Prince Consort, and has personally led the troops to recover the territory outside Shizhou."
Li Yuanji returned to the county government office, and Yu Wenbao hurriedly came to report.
Li Yuanji asked: "You mean my cousin and the others haven't captured Li Yi yet?"
At the end of the sentence, Li Yuanji frowned.
Logically speaking, Li Xiaogong led a large number of elites from the Tang Dynasty in this expedition, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. Conquering Li Yi should be easy.
But now, several months have passed, and Li Yi has still not been captured, which is really unbelievable.
Yu Wenbao cupped his hands and said: "According to the document from Chai Prince Consort, Li Yi adopted a shrinking tactic after he was defeated by Li Shiji and him in Yizhou and Mozhou at the same time, and transferred all his troops back to Youzhou.
He ordered the soldiers and horses from every county in Youzhou to strictly guard the various places in Youzhou and the main roads.
If they want to capture Li Yi, they have to attack county by county without any tricks."
Li Yuanji frowned and said, "Isn't there anyone who defected or surrendered before the battle?"
Yu Wenbao slowly shook his head and said: "According to the documents of King Hejian, Chai Consort and Li Shiji, except for the battles between Yizhou and Mozhou, where some people defected and surrendered, no one else defected and surrendered.
surrender."
Li Yuanji frowned even more tightly, "Apart from Yizhou and Mozhou, the only one left is Youzhou. In this way, Li Yi has managed Youzhou into a monolithic one."
After Yu Wenbao thought about it seriously, he nodded heavily.
"The deadline set by my second brother has long passed. Do you think I should give an order to reprimand them?"
Li Yuanji stared at Yu Wenbao and asked.
Yu Wenbao closed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word.
It was a matter involving a county prince and three princes, and he was not qualified to intervene.
Why are they said to be three princes? Because Li Shiji and his father Li Gai are both princes and they are one and the same.
"Send someone to Youzhou to take a good look at it, see it clearly, and then report everything you see to me. Then we can make a decision."
Li Yuanji didn't get an answer from Yu Wenbao, and he didn't expect Yu Wenbao to give him an answer, so he decided to send someone to take a look first to see if Li Xiaogong, Li Shiji, and Chai Shao were really out of work.
.
If this is the case, it is not too late to reprimand him.
If Li Xiaogong, Li Shiji, and Chai Shao work hard and exert their utmost strength, then even if they fail to capture Li Yi within the stipulated time, it will not be easy to reprimand them.
After all, Li Yi has been famous for a long time, and the soldiers and horses under his command are veterans who have participated in many wars, so it is understandable that he is not easy to fight.
"I obey."
Yu Wenbao bowed and exited the county government office.
Not long after Yu Wenbao left, Li Xiuning got involved again. Just when Li Yuanji wanted to find an excuse to mess with Li Xiuning, he heard Li Xiuning say: "You don't want to know the news about your son and daughter?"
Li Yuanji suddenly became nervous.
When he led the army to the expedition, Wang Ruan and the two Silla women were almost in the month of March. In order to avoid affecting their minds and making wrong decisions, or they were anxious to end the war and go back to see their children, which would lead to a big disaster.
So he deliberately didn't pay attention to this matter and planned to wait until the war was over before asking.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuning took the initiative to bring it up.
Following Li Xiuning's advice, Wang Ruan and two Silla women not only gave birth to a boy, but also a girl.
I just don’t know who gave birth to a boy, who gave birth to a girl, and whether the child is well-behaved or not.
"I thought you didn't care about them, but it turns out you are very nervous about them?"
Li Xiuning looked at Li Yuanji who was so nervous that he was speechless, and said jokingly.
Li Yuanji said awkwardly: "No... I wonder how Mrs. Wang and the two Silla ladies are doing?"
Now that a child has been given birth, he can be called Madam, and it doesn't mean he is looking down on them.
Li Xiuning walked up to Li Yuanji with a faint smile, "Don't you want to know if the three children are okay?"
Li Yuanji smiled dryly and said: "It must be good for the child to be taken care of by my sister and father. No need to ask."
Li Xiuning smiled in disbelief and asked, "Is that so?"
Li Yuanji pretended to be calm and nodded.
Li Xiuning said with a smile: "Why do I think you care more about the quality of your children, but you don't dare to ask, so I first asked about the quality of Wang Ruan and the two Silla women."
】
Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "Sister, I must have seen it wrong."
Li Xiuning said with a smile: "You are obviously the father of three children, why are you still nervous about the new-born child? They are not legitimate children, and they cannot inherit everything from you."
You know shit.
These three are biological, and the first three are inherited.
Although there is no difference in blood, there is a big difference in soul.
Li Yuanji secretly cursed in his heart.
In his previous life, he had his own child for the first time. He was really panicked and didn't know how to face it.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. As long as you let me lead the army to rescue Su Dingfang, I will tell you the current situation of your three children and the current situation of your three wives."
Li Xiuning didn't embarrass Li Yuanji too much. After teasing Li Yuanji a little, he chose to let Li Yuanji go.
Li Yuanji hesitated for a while.
He urgently wanted to know the current situation of the three children and Wang Ruan and the others, but he did not want Li Xiuning to take risks.
Li Xiuning seemed to have seen something incredible and said in surprise: "You actually hesitated? In your heart, the six of them are actually more important than me, the elder sister?"
Li Yuanji took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said angrily: "Sister, what are you talking about? Have you had enough fun?"
Li Xiuning acted like a young girl and said playfully: "No..."
Li Yuanji said helplessly: "Just tell me what you want to do. But if you want to help Su Dingfang, I won't agree to anything."
When Li Xiuning heard this, she immediately became angry and said, "Yuanji, others forget about their mother when they have a wife, but you are better off. You forget about your sister when you have a child. You are really good at it."
Li Yuanji yelled: "I didn't. I didn't let you go to rescue Su Dingfang because of your safety. If you really want to compete with the Turks, then I will transfer you to Suizhou and let you go to rescue Shenfu."
