The two Xu brothers never thought that they would be awarded a title because of their uncle.
Although they knew that their uncle was a highly respected minister, their integrity as scholars prevented them from taking such a shortcut. However, it backfired. In the end, the two brothers of the Xu family obtained the title without taking the imperial examination to obtain status. Moreover, these two brothers None of these titles are related to their uncle.
Xiang County is their hometown, and of course Xu Yunyan’s hometown. Yun County is where Xu Yunyan became famous.
However, just after Li Shimin appeased them, he issued decrees one after another. Fan Fan and Xu Yunyan finally fought the Turks in a melee, and defeated the remaining Turks' troops of less than a hundred people and gave them a large reward.
Those who were not generals became generals, and those who were generals received titles. Those with titles were promoted to one level, which made all the four mythical beast generals become marquises.
Although Duan Kun left early, the news he sent was very important to Datang, and the most important thing was that no one expected that Xu Yunyan would be crowned king.
What an honor it would be if he were alive, but he is now in everyone's mind. It is natural for the Duke of the country who is the champion to become the King of Anbei, but it is a pity that he has fallen on the battlefield.
After Li Shimin made the arrangement, although Changsun Chong was promoted from the fifth rank Dang Kou General, including those generals of Tiance Guard, they were promoted upwards because of the large span of this victory.
Although Xu Yunyan's former Zhongwu General was not directly generated from the fifth rank, he also became the famous generals General Xuanwei and Mingwei between General Zhongwu and General Dangkou.
As for those soldiers who died in battle, they will receive additional rewards.
, the rewards were so rich that they had never been seen since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
After reporting the funeral at Li Shimin's place, the two Xu brothers embarked on their journey again and began to approach Chang'an.
In Chang'an City, Crown Princess Hou Xiaomei has a son and a daughter. As the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, the daughter has been married to Xu Yan's uncle Li Chengcheng, and the son is also married to the daughter of Xu Yunyan's sister Xu Yunyue.
As the noble Crown Princess of the Tang Dynasty, the future queen still needs to know some things.
The Jin Yiwei sent the news they obtained to Hou Xiaomei, and Hou Xiaomei was very happy to see the champion Hou defeat the Turks. She couldn't imagine how stable Li Chengqian would be as emperor in the future with such a loyal champion protecting them.
What's more, this champion Hou is also the younger brother of Hou Xiaomei's father and one of our own!
Of course, the next champion Hou had several outstanding heirs who stood unswervingly on their side. How good their children were as the future prince and the future majesty. Another piece of news came that made Hou Xiaomei's face change. Big changes.
"This is really jealous of the talented people. How could it be like this?"
But as soon as she got such news, Hou Xiaomei couldn't help but look in the direction of the champion Hou's mansion, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
In the end, in desperation, Hou Xiaomei, the most noble and now the most precious in Chang'an City, had to make a plan to go to the Champion Hou Mansion to take a look.
Although they don't know if they have got the news, they should go and take a look. If Xu Xu Yunyan's two wives can't think about it, they will be in big trouble.
Once again, Li Xin and Lu Yueshu supported each other in the prayer room built for Xu Yunyan
Come and pray.
For some reason, after they knelt down this time, the statue in front of them actually had cracks one after another. This made the two wives of the champions very worried about what kind of changes would happen.
But just when the wives of the two champions were worried, an old soldier guarding the door hurriedly came to report.
"lady!"
Listening to the old soldier's anxious voice, Li Xin and Lu Yueshu walked out immediately.
Looking at the anxious guards in front of them, Li Xin and Lu Yueshu asked hurriedly, thinking of the abnormality of the statue.
"What happened?"
The soldier said hurriedly, "Madams, please go to the front. The Crown Princess is here to visit."
I see.
This made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief. As long as their husbands didn't have any accidents or the messenger didn't bring bad news, everything else would be fine.
The princess came to visit the wife of the champion marquis, and the ceremony was very grand.
Groups of guards surrounded the Champion Hou Mansion tightly. This worries outsiders.
"Did the Champion have offended His Majesty, or had different thoughts?"
Chang He, who was opposite the Champion House, just came to the door and heard the muttering of the guards at home. He stepped forward and kicked him.
"What are you talking about? How could the Champion have such thoughts? Don't you know that the Champion is competing with the Turks in the north?"
Chang He was Chang Sun Wuji's confidant, so Chang Sun Wuji would still tell him some things. Chang Sun Wuji was also Li Chengqian's uncle and Li Shimin's absolute confidant, so there was no problem in knowing some information.
Now Chang He and others know that Xu Yunyan has defeated King Zuoxian in the north, and killed King Zuoxian of Turks again.
Defeated Zhishu Sili.
Chang He taught his guards a lesson, and the guards hurriedly lowered their heads, as if they would never do it again if they made a mistake.
Chang He suddenly felt something in his heart when he saw the Crown Princess coming to visit the Champion Marquis.
Why is the Crown Princess here at this time? Could it be that the Northland had a great victory? The remaining Turkic Youxian King was also defeated by the champion?
Just when Chang He was thinking this, he looked at the guard standing straight in front of him. It was absolutely impossible for him to go there to find out the news. He shook his head helplessly and returned to his hinterland.
As soon as they arrived at the Champion Hou Mansion, Hou Xiaomei and Xu Yunyan's two wives kept being polite there. In the past, this politeness was commonplace. Li Xin and Lu Yueshu didn't understand why Hou Xiaomei, as the crown princess, could There was so much free time to chat with them.
Just when Li Xin and Lu Yueshu were wondering what was going on and whether there was something they hadn't noticed, Xu Xiaosan's wife Zheng outside the door helped Yue'er hold her daughter from the room. Come closer.
"I've met the Crown Princess."
Yue'er brought his daughter to meet Hou Xiaomei, which made Hou Xiaomei extremely embarrassed.
"Look, how can I let you come to see me? We are sons and daughters."
Hou Xiaomei's words made Li Xin and Lu Yueshu feel at ease.
Yue'er's daughter is the son of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and the fiancee of His Highness King Qin!
Hou Xiaomei came to visit, isn't this a matter of course?
As soon as Hou Xiaomei finished speaking, Yue'er and Zheng entered the hall with the dolls they were holding and stood with Li Xin and Lu Yueshu.
This scene
The scene made Hou Xiaomei even more embarrassed.
"You all are seated, why are you standing here with me? I'm here to chat with you. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the capital. My father has also gone on an expedition. Even His Majesty, the elder, has also gone on an expedition. Only the Queen is left. The Queen I'm still busy with the affairs of the imperial city, so I'll come and have a chat with you."
Hou Xiaomei couldn't help but admire her smart mind for coming up with such an excuse easily. While Hou Xiaomei was thinking this, Li Xin and Lu Yueshu looked at each other and pulled Yue'er and Zheng to find a place nearby. Sat down.
Suddenly Hou Xiaomei felt relieved.
"Not bad, as long as you sit down, you won't have to worry about accidents."
Then Hou Xiaomei looked at a few people talking there.
"I wonder what news you have now after winning the championship?"
"News from the Champion?"
A few people here were stunned by the question, when did they get the news about the champion?
Hou Xiaomei's eyes suddenly turned red when she saw how these people looked, and tears welled up in her eyes. This made Lu Yueshu and Li Xin very worried.
"What's going on? Did their husband have an accident?"
While Li Xin and Lu Yueshu were worried, Hou Xiaomei saw that her actions just now were a bit inappropriate and said hurriedly.
"The champion is indeed a rare famous general in our Tang Dynasty. It's just that this time the inferior troops and horses are delayed and the defeat of Si Li makes me very worried. After all, he is also my father's junior brother and an elder of mine. In this way, our relationship is even more... So close."
What Hou Xiaomei said made Li Xin and Lu Yueshu worried.
"What? My husband has inferior troops and horses
The sluggish Turks lose their power. Who is this person who is responsible for losing Si Li? "
Hou Xiaomei sighed.
"Zhishi Sili is a Turkic Khan who came to invade the north with an army of 200,000."
"Two hundred thousand?"
This made Li Xin and Lu Yueshu start to shiver.
"My husband is the Protector of the Anbei Protectorate. My husband once said that the Anbei Protectorate has more than 10,000 soldiers. With this twenty-fold difference, what will happen to my husband?"
Li Xin and Uncle Lu Yue said this, and Hou Xiaomei said directly in front of these two people.
"You don't have to worry, I have received the news. The champion has now gathered 30,000 people. In the first battle, he first defeated the 30,000 Turkic vanguards, and basically lost less than 1,000 people. Then he broke through the formation of the Turkic Zuoxian King and killed the Zuoxian King and captured them. Zuoxianwang Wangqi defeated 50,000 Turks in one fell swoop, making the total number 80,000, and the loss was only a few thousand people."
Li Xin and Lu Yueshu breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, but they became nervous again after watching them breathe a sigh of relief.
"My husband has two victories in two battles. Will he be able to defeat Si Li's remaining 120,000 troops with less than 30,000 men? This is also an incredible ratio!"
As soon as Li Xin and Lu Yueshu said these words, Hou Xiaomei couldn't help but click her tongue.
"You don't know what happened, but you are able to guess such a situation. You are truly worthy of being the wife of the champion."
Although Hou Xiaomei was helpless, she said with a smile.
"What do you have to worry about? The champion has already encountered the 70,000 soldiers and horses of Zhi Shi Si Li's headquarters, and it seems that he has also defeated Zhi Shi Si Li, but this time the loss of soldiers and generals is a bit serious.
Now only the five right sage kings of Turks are left.
Thousands of soldiers and horses, once the Prince's Palace moves north to join forces, there will be no danger in the north. "
Hou Xiaomei said it very lightly, but Li Xin and Lu Yueshu were even more worried.
"We know that our husband, as long as he can do something, will never wait for others to help him. Maybe my husband has already gone to find the troops of King Youxian of the Turks, but I don't know how many Dao Dao you have now. manpower."
The words Li Xin and Lu Yueshu said to each other made Hou Xiaomei frightened.
"You are really a good wife. You even know your husband's situation clearly. He did meet King Youxian again, and successfully defeated King Youxian. After killing King Youxian, he captured King Youxian's body. Wang Qi, should I tell you this?
After saying this, should you feel that your husband will come back? "
But when she thought of this, Hou Xiaomei looked a little embarrassed.
The result was not as you thought. Your husband did not come back. Instead, he died on the battlefield while chasing and defeating Sili.
Thirty thousand to two hundred thousand has created an eternal legend, but the curse of the champion does not seem to be solved.
die young!
Hou Xiaomei couldn't say these four words no matter what.
