Shen Wuhua lost her mother at a young age and her father just after she was about to get married. Her husband treated her like a passerby and had nothing but an empty position as queen. Even the real power in the harem was in the hands of Zhang Lihua and others. Shen Wuhua Hua was left out in the cold and could only eat fast and chant Buddha's name in the palace every day.
In the end, she became a slave of the subjugated country for no apparent reason. As the nominal queen of Chen Shubao, if Lechang had not come to her aid, she might have had the same fate of being randomly distributed like other royal women.
From the beginning to the end, she never enjoyed the love and wealth she should have, but just wandered around in the cold palace. All the grievances and sorrows she had experienced over the years seemed to be written down in this poem, so how could she not feel pain and cry? ?
But before Li Xingchen could stand up and walk over, Shen Wuhua had already come to his senses and fell to the ground in panic: "This slave lost his temper for a moment and deserves death!"
Li Xingchen gave a wry smile. Obviously, this woman's recovery ability and endurance were much stronger than he imagined. But on second thought, it was not incomprehensible. People who can endure Chen Shubao's indifferent treatment are naturally not ordinary people. What's more, What's more, after all, this is a member of the Shen family. Her father Shen Junli and uncle Shen Jungao are both outstanding people.
Reaching out to support Shen Wuhua, Li Xingchen sniffed the faint fragrance of the woman's hair: "Have a good rest, I don't blame you. Just cry out when you are sad."
"My servant, thank you Your Majesty." Shen Wuhua whispered, subconsciously taking a step back and keeping a certain distance from Li Xingchen. It was obvious that the close contact just now had made her a little frightened.
And Shen Wuhua's reaction was seen by Li Xingchen, which was a bit strange. It stands to reason that Lechang arranged Shen Wuhua in the East Palace. Although it was so straightforward and different from the arrangements for Zhang Lihua and Kong, there was still some leftover. Shen Wuhua should have been mentally prepared for Li Xinchen's enjoyment. Such a clear intention to keep a distance made Li Xinchen not know what this woman was thinking for a while.
However, the forceful melon is not sweet, and Li Xingchen has no intention of doing anything to her directly. He whispers to Yuan Dashe to prepare some rewards for Shen Wuhua, and strides towards the front yard. For Li Xingchen now, it is not Due to the lack of women, Shen Wuhua's desperate efforts can only be regarded as a small episode today. Li Xingchen did not come to the East Palace to find a woman.
The front hall of the East Palace has completely changed its appearance. The scrolls that once hung on the walls have been put away and replaced by maps one after another. Officials coming in and out are anxiously carrying all kinds of maps. document.
In the middle of the main hall, a sand table covering the entire Guanzhong area is taking shape. With people from Guanzhong like Yang Su guiding it, and with the information collected by Bai Pao, although this sand table cannot be guaranteed to be perfect, it is pretty close. is enough.
"I see your Majesty." Seeing Li Xingchen approaching, Yang Su hurriedly raised his hands and saluted.
"You guys are busy with your business." Li Xingchen waved his hand, asking the officials who stopped and bowed to move, "How about it?"
Not knowing what the "how" that Li Xingchen asked meant, Yang Su considered it and said: "In the battle of Nanyang, I think we should be ranked first. Your Majesty, please come here."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly and looked at the markings on the sand table. It was obvious that the Nanyang area was also the priority. Nanyang, also known as Wancheng, is located in the basin and geographically belongs to Jingzhou among the nine states. However, because it is far from Suizhou in the north of Jingzhou,
There is still a certain distance between Xiangyang, Dengzhou and other places, so in fact the local culture is more inclined to the closer Central Plains. In the Han Dynasty, Nanyang was included in Jingzhou more because of the interlocking governance style.
Now Xiao Shilian is leading an army of 50,000 to station in Xiangyang, reclaiming land and preparing for war. At the same time, Huang Wan is leading 20,000 troops and Chunyu Cencheng, who also has more than 20,000 people, is outflanking Nanyang. These 90,000 troops are
Now the Han Dynasty can bring out the largest number of troops in the direction of Jingzhou. Of course, in Hanzhong Li Xingchen also has 30,000 troops ready to go down the Mian River to support the Nanyang battlefield.
However, these armies will be used to attack Guanzhong later. They can be used in the Battle of Nanyang, but they must not be consumed completely, otherwise the Han Dynasty's family fortune will be wiped out in the past few years.
Of course, Yang Jian's troops in Nanyang now only number six to seven thousand. Regarding this isolated city outside the Guxuan Pass, Yang Jian only maintains an attitude of being able to maintain it day by day. Li Xingchen attacked it with ten times the troops and horses, as long as
Yang Jian will not come out of Wuguan to rescue, so Nanyang County is just a piece of cake.
As the imperial hometown of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang naturally had considerable political significance for Li Xinchen, an emperor under the banner of the Han Dynasty. By winning Nanyang, Li Xinchen could naturally make more fuss in this name.
At the same time, Nanyang is also the only big city that the Han Dynasty can find and control in the Central Plains. Xiangyang in the south is a little far away from the battlefield in the Central Plains, and Luoyang, Xuchang and other places are obviously not willing to let Yu Wenxian out. Li Xingchen thought
In order to more conveniently collect and transport grain, grass, soldiers and horses to prepare for the battle in Guanzhong, Nanyang is naturally indispensable.
"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses have been mobilized in Hanzhong and the northwest, preparing to attack Xiegu." Yang Su then led Li Xingchen's eyes to look in the direction of Hanzhong, "Now Li Bi has set up three camps in Xiegu, and then with solid
Dao County (today's Feng County) and Qizhou serve as a basis to form a defense line connecting Xiegu and Sanfu."
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows. In fact, after taking Hanzhong, Xiao Shilian, who was the coach of the north side, once occupied Gudao County and formed a fist extending towards Guanzhong. However, the Han Dynasty had not yet taken the northwest, so this fist was more like
It was a piece of meat delivered to the enemy's mouth, so Li Xinchen had no choice but to retreat first.
But there is no doubt that Li Bi now realized the importance of Gudao County and replenished the defense line.
"Your Majesty, our best way to attack is actually from the northwest." Jiang Yuanxun said solemnly next to him. This old general is actually about to be discharged from the army and return to his fields. Although he holds the title of General Zhennan, he is actually the one in the south.
Chen Zhishen on the east side and Li Xun on the west side were in charge of everything. No one dared to really let the old general go to the southern wilderness. Therefore, Jiang Yuanxun was actually still in charge of the capital guard in the capital.
This time's strategy obviously allowed the old general to see an opportunity to make contributions and prove himself, so he rushed over to join in. However, Li Xingchen had no objection to this. After all, Jiang Yuanxun had been a soldier for half his life, and his experience was still solid.
Here, it is different from Yang Su, who has never been handsome at all.
Therefore, having Jiang Yuanxun here can be regarded as a guarantee to prevent Yang Su's ideas from being too unrealistic.
