Chapter 23 Something Abnormal
"Crown Princess?"
In the big tent on the front line of Yinzhou, Li Wei was in front of the sand table. After listening to the words of the messenger at home, he closed his eyebrows and thought deeply.
I am afraid that the entire Daqi knows what the prince is in the state, and there are very few people in the court.
The general Cen Yi cleared his throat and asked, "Is it because the emperor intends to support the prince again and find a strong support for him. The forces of Bianjing have already taken sides, and the emperor has only taken a fancy to our General's Mansion in the West?"
Li Wei frowned. He didn't want to participate in these struggles at all. He just wanted to solve the border problems once and for all.
After fighting at the border for so many years, the enemy of each other is as deep as the sea. Moreover, every year the Qiang people invade, they always kill blood and poison the people of Liangzhou.
If a general is outside, how can he be entrusted to the crown prince? It is simply ridiculous.
However, this emperor has done more than one ridiculous thing, especially as he gets older.
The imperial court was incompetent and incompetent, and the general's servants knew it well that they were loyal to the general's mansion, Li Wei.
Jiang Xiangyu, a military adviser, pondered: "The eldest son went to Beijing and took the path of Concubine Wu, so he asked the court to allocate food and wages. I am afraid that no one in the court or the country knew about this. Concubine Wu and the crown prince have always been as powerful as water and fire. If the emperor did not have a balance strategy, he would be afraid that his intention would not be simple."
Jiang Xiangyu was the think tank of the General's Mansion and had always been full of wisdom and tricks. When the generals heard this, they became uneasy.
"The war is imminent, may the court still hold back?"
"In this battle, we are fighting for ourselves, and for the entire Great Qi. The court did not pull out food and pay to reward the army and sent troops, but instead created so many twists and turns, which was really upsetting!"
...
Li Wei waved his hand, sighed, and said, "Go back and tell Li Xin that he would entertain Yao Baobao well and be responsible for Feng'er's marriage, strictly follow the rules and not neglect. Military situation is urgent, since we are a general, we should still put military affairs first."
Military advisor Jiang Xiangyu quickly reached out and said, "General, the crown prince welcomes the bride, and there will be 30,000 guards according to the etiquette..."
Li Wei had made up his mind and waved his hand and said, "War is the first priority!"
The Li family has been waiting for this opportunity in Yinzhou for a hundred years, and the ancestors' last wishes will fight here.
"I have been in charge of the General of the Western Expedition at the age of 25. It has been thirty years since then! Life is like a flash of time, how can I have the next thirty years?"
"Master!"
"No need to say more, the Qiang people are already birds in cages and fish in the net. I passed my order and ordered the light cavalry to rush forward, with five hundred cavalry as a team and ten teams as a battalion, break through the Qiang people's camp within ten days, and then wipe out the Hengshan tribe. Those who are not of my clan... will be killed without mercy!"
The foreign races in the northwest entered the Central Plains at the end of the Tang Dynasty and owed a lot of blood debts.
When they slaughtered the Han people, they also took away advanced technology, especially smelting and cast iron.
The Qiang people were neatly wearing helmets, their armor was like fish scales, and two thick armors were arranged side by side on their chests. In contrast, Li Wei's command was covered with messy military uniforms, and their armor had no metal armor pieces or even leather.
The Northwest Army... is poor! I will not allocate money for a few years, but it depends on the prestige of the general's mansion and the little income brought by the caravan.
Since ancient times, when Hu and Han fought, it has rarely been seen that such armor and weapons are inferior to Hu. However, the Northwest Army is fierce and fearless and brave and good at fighting.
The drums rang like raindrops, hitting heavily in the hearts of the Qiang people in Hengshan. They looked at the northwest light cavalry in the distance.
They waved various weapons, and some even fought openly, but their eyes were full of invincible spirit.
On the other hand, although he is fully equipped with armor, he is already a frightened bird.
After the Han people took over Yinzhou, the Qiang people who lost their protection were defeated in seven battles and seven times, and most of the people killed were killed.
The sound of horns sounded, and countless light cavalry swept over the weapons. The rolled up smoke and dust were like giant dragons, which was daunting.
Before the Qiang leader Tuoba Ye could speak, his horseman was already roaring uneasy and retreating with his hooves.
"withdraw!"
---
The wild ferry is unmanned and the boat lies on its own.
Outside Liangzhou City, a small boat floated among a reed.
The chirping of insects lingered in my ears, and the spring breeze slowly blew on my face, making the small lake even more quiet.
Chen Shou had a reed in his mouth and chatted with Li Lingyue all the time, which was nothing more than the trivial matters of their sisters.
Speaking of her sister's marriage to the capital, Li Lingyue was still a little reluctant to let go. She was sad. When she looked back at Chen Shou's look of carelessness, she immediately said angrily: "You dead man, have you listened again?"
Chen Shou gently grabbed her pair of tender gums and said, "Your sister married to the capital to be the crown princess. She will be the queen in the future and will be the mother of the world. She will not be happy."
Li Lingyue sighed and said, "You don't know that this prince may not be the emperor."
Chen Shou's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly he had an unknown premonition and asked, "What did you say?"
Li Lingyue said to herself: "That's true. I heard from the people in the mansion that the prince was not only sick and couldn't get out of bed all day, but was also bullied by Concubine Wu every day. It is not certain whether he could survive the current emperor."
"If a prince who is unpopular is to marry the daughter of a border general, or before the war?"
Chen Shou lowered his head, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. This didn't seem like something a normal person did.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon!
I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in this mountain.
Chen Shou is not from the General's Mansion, so he looked at this matter from a purely bystander perspective and felt it was full of strangeness.
"This matter is probably not that simple." Chen Shou tried to explain clearly to the girl in front of him, but was afraid that he would be worried about it.
After all, it is a great sin to frame the royal family and the court.
When Li Lingyue saw him stunned, she thought he was on a date and kept talking about his sister, which made him angry.
She snuggled into Chen Shou's arms without any instruction, with a sweet look on her face, "Okay, it's not okay if I don't say it."
Chen Shou held her shoulder, turned her body, and said with a solemn expression: "Can you take me to see the general?"
"Ah? This... dad is fighting, don't you say... to make a name for yourself and see my dad again? Don't get me wrong! I'm not disgusted with you, yes..."
Li Lingyue obviously misunderstood. She looked so squeamish, and pinched the corner of her skirt and said, "Can you see my second brother first?"
How can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest?
The General's Mansion in the West had no kindness to him, and at best he used each other, but he helped them a lot.
But the girl in front of me cannot be in danger. In this strange time and space, Chen Shou knows not many people and cares about it. Li Lingyue in front of me is obviously one of them.
Just as I was thinking, a sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the bridge by the lake.
Chen Shou stood up and looked from a distance. Apricot yellow flags covered the sky and the sun, and a huge guard of honor was slowly crossing the bridge.
These people are uniform and well-organized, but the sound of gongs and drums seems a little messy.
"This is the wedding ceremony. I heard that it was transferred from Hedong and I have to stay in the suburbs of the city. I will go to the city to welcome the bride in a few days. They will definitely not have this majesty when they get married."
Chen Shou stared at it for a while and said firmly: "Yue'er, take me to see your father, now!"
