Li Tai really didn't have much expectations for Yu Wentai's all-out help. Because if he only wanted to capture Jiangling, the strength of Jingzhou town alone would be more than enough.
However, it is not easy for him to leave the Bafu and do it alone. After all, Jiangling is now the capital of Nanliang. Once the war breaks out, it will be directly between the two countries. And if there is no authorization, approval and support from the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Bureau behind, once the Nanliang people
When King Qin's troops attacked, it would be very stressful for the town of Jingzhou to completely resist them.
Not to mention the variable Northern Qi. After several attacks, the Northern Qi failed to obtain greater benefits. Of course, they did not want to see the Western Wei successfully capture Jiangling. Even if Jiangling was beyond its reach, the Jingzhou army and the Nanliang troops took advantage of the situation.
During the war, trying to send troops to capture Yiyang is considered a basic operation.
Moreover, Li Tai was not satisfied with just taking over Jiangling as in history.
His personnel management in Jingzhou in the past few years has been much more powerful and profound than that of Changsun Jian in the same period in history. Of course, he also hopes to achieve greater results, and it is not impossible to even directly nip Nanchen in the bud.
one time.
Since Yu Wentai had no special instructions, Li Tai returned home after saying goodbye. At this time, the family members who were going to accompany him had packed their luggage and were just waiting to set off, so Li Tai went into the inner hall to say goodbye to his parents.
He has also had the experience of saying goodbye to his parents before going out to work, but this time it was a little different for him.
"Born in troubled times, even the kings, grandsons and nobles will inevitably suffer disturbances and the pain of chaos. Although the war in the country is getting less and less, the tension has not diminished. When there will be turmoil, no one can predict. What's going on?
Externally, I cannot fulfill my filial piety in front of Ye Niang's case. If there is any disturbance, it will be difficult to protect her immediately. But please rest assured, Ye Niang, my current position is not ordinary. No matter who dares to marry me lightly,
We share the hatred of Heaven, from the blue sky to the underworld, and we will surely kill all of them!"
In order to reassure his parents, Li Tai spoke harshly.
After Li Xiao heard this, he frowned and said: "My son is now in charge of the future and welfare of all people, so he should not make such arrogant remarks! Parents never raise children to burden or restrict them. Although you have also experienced chaos, but
Could your father have been in more trouble?
Although your father avoids disasters and is afraid of them, he is not as timid as a mouse, and he treats ordinary disturbances as normal. Changes are about to occur in the country, and instability is inevitable. Of course, you will not do such stupid tricks as worrying about the sky and depriving yourself of sleep and food.
"
After hearing what his father said was quite open-minded, Li Tai felt a little relieved. He couldn't bear to see his mother in tears and said nothing. After bowing again, he turned around and walked out, calling his family members and close friends outside the door to leave the house and go to Shasha.
After Yuan gathered all the troops, a large number of people marched south towards Wuguan in great force.
Vomit, vomit...
On the mountain road south of Wuguan, Li Tai saw his wife retching next to the car and her face turned pale. He couldn't help but frowned. When the wife stopped vomiting, he sent someone warm food.
She personally fed the soup and rice, but the lady had no appetite. Seeing that her husband looked unhappy, she reluctantly cheered up and drank half a bowl, and then got into the car with a tired look.
After the lady boarded the car, Li Tai motioned to several attendants and maids to stand beside the car, and then he vented his long-suppressed anger: "Don't you see that the lady is uneasy? Why didn't you come and report it as soon as possible, and you still let the lady drag you along?
Traveling with a sick body. If I hadn't happened to see you when I came to visit, how long would you have kept it secret!"
Several maidservants were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Yes, it's the madam. The madam is afraid that the master will not bring her back to town, so she wants to leave the madam at home to recuperate, so, so
Li Tai's brows furrowed even more after hearing this. It turns out that my wife had this illness when she was at home in Guanzhong, and she has been hiding it until now. She was already weak, but she was still traveling bumpy. No wonder she looked so sick and haggard today.
He ordered the team to continue moving forward, and he and his wife first stopped at this mountain road, and ordered his soldiers to quickly go out of the mountain to invite doctors to come for diagnosis and treatment. Although there are military doctors in the army, they are mostly good at treating trauma and carbuncle.
Even if he dared to treat his wife's illness, Li Tai would not dare to use it.
Seeing his wife vomiting frequently, Li Tai was worried and secretly wondering if this was a pregnancy reaction. However, he had never had such care experience in his previous life and did not dare to make a judgment. And seeing that the reaction was so violent, whether it was a pregnancy reaction or not
Pregnancy also requires careful diagnosis and treatment.
In the evening, Miaoyin took a nap. When she woke up, she saw her husband guarding a small red clay stove, seemingly cooking something, while several of his maidservants were kneeling in the tent and did not dare to raise their heads.
She was about to speak, but a nauseating feeling came over her, and she couldn't help but rest on the couch and retched.
Hearing the sound, Li Tai hurriedly came forward and caressed the lady's back without saying a word. After her breath came over, he whispered: "Pine nut and japonica rice porridge is cooking on the stove. Let's rest for a while before eating."
People are weaker when they are sick, and Miaoyin knew that she was in the wrong. After hearing this, she just hummed slightly, glanced at the maids who were still kneeling, and whispered: "It's my willfulness, husband, don't punish them."
…”
Li Tai was not in the mood to vent his anger and punish her at the moment, but these maids were uneasy and knelt down to plead guilty. After hearing what the lady said, they coldly snorted: "Get out of here!"
After hearing this, several maids hurriedly helped each other out. Miaoyin glanced sideways at her husband's expression, and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Is your husband very angry?"
"You hid it from me so carefully, shouldn't I be happy that my wife is a thoughtful person?"
After Li Tai heard this, he snorted coldly. He had just asked the maids in detail about their illnesses, and felt that it was similar to what he had guessed, but he was still not sure, so he was not completely relieved yet.
"You really have to be careful, otherwise how could such a shrewd man as my husband be concealed so easily? I didn't even take those older women with me even if I didn't see my husband? They were afraid of my husband's power and would never help me.
Conceal it..."
Miaoyin first joked in a low voice, trying to lighten the atmosphere, but seeing that her husband was still frowning, she stopped talking.
After a pause, she spoke again: "At first, I just felt like vomiting twice occasionally, just because I haven't been home for a long time, and the water and soil are not harmonious, but it is becoming more and more..."
Before she could finish her words, another wave of nausea came over her. This time Miaoyin retched even more severely, tears welled up in her eyes, and her face, which was already forced to smile, became even paler.
She suddenly hugged her husband beside her and said in a crying voice: "Husband, don't be angry, I'm afraid... I'm not going to die, am I? It's really hard! If I had known that this disease was so serious, I would have
You shouldn't be willful... What should I do? I don't want to die yet, I want to stay with my husband for a long time!"
Seeing her like this, Li Tai couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, but he felt pity for her, so he still said warmly: "You won't die, it's just a small matter, just remember this lesson, don't be so willful in the future, and don't be cautious when things happen."
fool!"
"No, never again. I will never lie to my husband again. Please don't let me die!"
After hearing this, Miaoyin first shook her head and then nodded again and again, but after a while she couldn't help but poked at her and said, "But if I really die, what will my husband do?"
Seeing that she was crying and regaining some energy, Li Tai turned around to get some porridge and rice from the stove. The lady was still immersed in sorrow and said to herself: "People's luck is determined. I met such a good husband."
My husband, my husband took pity on me so much, but it’s a pity that it didn’t last long...
Is it because I have taken too much of my husband's favor? I didn't want to. What kind of woman doesn't like to be favored by her husband? My husband loves me, and I am happy to accept it, but I didn't expect that it would lead to disaster in my life...
...The husband has no other women around him. If I leave, who will please him?"
The more she muttered, the sadder she became. In the end, she threw herself into Li Tai's arms and choked: "If this concubine is really unlucky, husband, please don't be sad. I am a wicked woman, relying on my favor to enjoy my husband's care all these years. My husband's account
I have few servants and no heirs, so I don’t even care..."
Li Tai heard her thinking more and more and became more and more sad. He simply put the woman across his knees, slapped her pert buttocks with his palms, and said in his mouth: "Be calm."
"I'm sick, I'm sick..."
The lady's body froze for a moment, then she became shy and coy. She looked back at Li Tai angrily, blaming him for destroying her sentimental and sad heart.
Li Tai held the lady down and fed her a bowl of rice porridge. At this moment, the soldiers outside the tent reported that the doctor invited from Guannan had arrived. Five men and women were waiting outside the tent.
After hearing this, Li Tai quickly asked the doctors to come in, while he stood aside and watched them diagnose and treat his wife one by one.
The doctors were suddenly brought from home to the military camp in the mountains. They were a little uneasy. They cheered up and checked the pulse carefully, but they did not dare to make a decision lightly. They gathered together to discuss quietly for a while, and then one of them finally
The eldest doctor came forward, paid homage to Li Tai and said, "Congratulations, General, Madam, you have a happy pulse!"
Although Li Tai had already predicted it, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Miaoyin was also anxiously waiting for the doctor to announce her tragic fate. When she heard this, she didn't react for a moment, her mouth tightened and she was about to burst into tears. After a while, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she suddenly
