Standing in the camp outside Jiuzhen County, Li Xun looked serious as he looked at a Han army soldier with a name on his body.
The cruelty of war was indeed beyond his imagination.
Although Lin Yiren's attack method was within Li Xun's expectation, he did not expect that Lin Yiren would be so desperate and crazy.
After the war began, the Han army advanced with great success, but suffered no more than a hundred casualties. But Li Xun knew that these casualties were all on the grain transport convoy. This shows that the Linyi people had no intention of a head-on confrontation.
As long as the Han army's food route can be cut off, even such endless harassment will be enough to make the Han army retreat.
This problem has been encountered in previous attacks on the south. Although these Linyi people are repeating their old tricks, they are still a headache. It is because this problem has not been solved for a long time, and the Central Plains dynasty has no way to establish an attack on the south.
Complete domination of the South.
But the war has begun, and Li Xun and all the Han soldiers have no way out.
"More than ten people were poisoned today and needed amputation." Sun Simiao wiped the sweat from his head and said directly without even bothering to salute Li Xun.
Li Xun nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
"Looking at their painful looks, I just hate myself for being incompetent." Sun Simiao said through gritted teeth.
He had just arrived in Jiuzhen County yesterday. In order to cross a valley on the way, they paid a heavy price. The Han soldiers who were responsible for the cover suffered many casualties. Even Du Fuwei, who was leading the team, was hit by an arrow. Fortunately, there were
The arrows were not poisonous, so Du Fuwei could rest for a few days without losing anything.
"Why did you say this, sir? Your medical skills are recognized by everyone. When it comes to saving lives and healing the wounded, no one can complain about what you have done." Li Xun said in a deep voice.
As long as Sun Simiao is here, the morale of the army can be maintained. If Sun Simiao is discouraged first, the officers and soldiers of the army will sink even more.
"There are many poisons that I can't cure. I need to try." Sun Simiao looked at Li Xun and made his request, "I want to live!"
"How many?"
“The more the merrier!”
"Okay, don't worry, sir!" Li Xun said decisively, "Instruct all the scouts to go out and capture the Linyi people. The more the better!"
Sun Simiao cupped his hands and ran to treat the wounded soldiers.
Li Xun frowned and looked at the chaotic camp around him.
It's really embarrassing.
"General, if this continues, we will be forced to retreat." Lu Shizhen walked to Li Xun's side, "The situation on General Du's side is no better than ours. We must find a solution as soon as possible."
Li Xun said in a deep voice: "The whereabouts of these Linyi people are really difficult to grasp. When our army goes out, they run away without a trace, but when our small team goes out, they come out to harass us in every possible way. In the end, we are in a difficult situation, but there is nothing we can do about it.
.”
"General, why don't you consider using barbarians to control barbarians?" Lu Shizhen said with a smile.
"How do you say this?" Li Xun raised his eyebrows.
"Let the Linyi people lead the way to deal with the Linyi people." Lu Shizhen pointed to the rolling hills in the distance, "If anyone knows this world better than the Linyi people, then they are the only ones."
"But will the people of Linyi obey our arrangements?"
"The reason why the Linyi people resisted so fiercely is because they felt that we were here to invade and enslave them. As long as we make them feel that we are here to give them freedom," Lu Shizhen said in a deep voice, "According to a certain
We understand that there is no difference between the local nobles and our aristocratic families in the Central Plains. These Linyi people are actually their slaves and servants, so it should not be difficult for us to incite the Linyi people to defect."
"Shan Ye!" Li Xun nodded, then turned around and said, "Gather together!"
The rain in the south turned into snow in the north.
New Year's Day is approaching, and Jiankang Mansion is very lively with lights and colorful decorations after the snow.
In the imperial garden of the imperial palace, the toddler Li Canghai was led by his sister Princess Jinling as he walked around the flower bed, while Lechang and Yuchi Chifan followed him personally, for fear that these two sweethearts would get out of the house.
What an accident.
Xiao Xiang held his son in his arms and looked at the playful scene in front of him. He smiled and turned back to Li Xinchen and said: "Both the older one and the younger one are lively enough."
"The one you are holding will probably be good by then."
Li Xingchen smiled while reading the memorial.
However, his peripheral vision always fell on his children.
As an emperor, he has many things to do every day, so Li Xinchen can only spend a short time with his family, so he also tries his best to spend more time with these lovely people.
Especially your own children, they must not lack their father's love.
Chen Yueyi and Shen Wuhua, who were standing next to him, both had their stomachs bulging out. After hearing Li Xingchen's words, they subconsciously reached out and touched their lower abdomens. They didn't know what kind of life was born in them?
Of course, it wasn't just the children who had fun, there were also adults who were not pretentious at all. A snowball flew in front of Li Xingchen, and Ning Yuan ran after Yang Miao. The two people's laughter echoed throughout the palace.
In the garden.
"You two should slow down a little!" Li Xingchen shouted helplessly.
But Yang Lihua could only follow her to prevent the two girls from falling.
"Oops!" Yang Miao slipped and rushed directly onto the ice of the pond along a smooth stone. Fortunately, the ice was thick enough.
This time Yang Lihua had no choice but to stamp her feet and look at Li Xingchen.
Li Xingchen had already stood up when he heard the sound, and looked at Yang Miao calmly: "Are you still running so fast?"
Yang Miao sniffed and felt aggrieved.
Li Xingchen had no choice but to squat down and stretch out his hand. Yang Miao then broke down in tears and smiled, letting Li Xingchen drag her up. As soon as she came up, Yang Miao shrank into Li Xingchen's arms. When Li Xingchen touched it, half of her clothes were soaked and she couldn't help but shake.
He shook his head, took off his coat and wrapped her in it.
Seeing how close Li Xingchen and Yang Miao were, Ning Yuan pouted and ran away quickly, sliding directly to the ground, slapping the ground and shouting "Ouch, ouch".
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment. This girl obviously did it on purpose, but he still had to drag her up, otherwise it would be bad if she really caught a cold. In a few days, relatives would come to visit.
However, after pulling her up, Li Xingchen still slapped her butt (Harmony) hard several times to make her remember. It's okay to be jealous, as long as she can't hurt herself.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Lingnan. Yang Changshi of Taiwei Mansion wants to see you!" the female officer's voice came from afar.
Li Xingchen stood up and gave Lechang a few words, then went straight to the imperial study.
Lechang glared at Ning Yuan fiercely, and Ning Yuan snorted aggrievedly.
Yang Su was not the only one who came. Chen Yu in white robes and Yu Shinan, the new officer in the Taiwei Mansion, were also present.
"The war in the south is not going well?" Li Xingchen saw the expressions of Yang Su and others and already had some suspicion in his mind.
