Li Xuan was helped back to her tent by Li Zhu and Cui Ding and placed on a low couch.
Before Cui Ding could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Xuan, who was supposed to be drunk, suddenly said: "Water, tissue, paper, pen, and ink."
The voice is calm and steady.
Cui Ding raised his head, and Li Xuan's eyes were full of sobriety.
Cui Ding's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he and Li Zhu held their hands solemnly: "Here!"
Soon, a basin of cold water was placed in front of Li Xuan's eyes.
Li Xuan sank his entire face into the water. It wasn't until he came to his senses that he got up from the water and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After wiping her hands and face, Li Xuan sat in front of a short table, took out the newspaper from her arms, and then read it carefully.
Lord of Fuchang County.
The emperor personally issued an order to make his and Sanniang's daughter the head of Fuchang County.
Li Xuan smiled involuntarily.
The word "Chang" is inexplicably connected to him.
Li Xuan herself was the king of Nanchang County, and Sanniang Liu Jinyu was originally the king of Dechang County, but was later promoted to the king of Dechang County by the emperor.
Now, his daughter has been named the Princess of Fuchang County.
The word "Chang" has an inexplicable fate.
Chang, prosperous, prosperous, prosperous.
When the sun is above, it is prosperous.
…
Withdrawing her thoughts, Li Xuan spread out the paper and wrote lightly: "My daughter Hou Qi: My daughter, my father is ashamed to say that when you were born, my father followed the emperor's order and went to the west to welcome you into the world. I am ashamed and ashamed, and I am willing to love my daughter for the rest of my life.
My daughter, I hope you will be free from illness and disaster throughout your life, be protected by Taoism and Buddha, and have good fortune.
My daughter, when you were born, your father used the emperor's order to conquer Xicui, wipe out enemy chiefs, and educate the foolish and stubborn, so that the world would be stable and there would be no disasters.
My daughter, you are born as a human being. You should know that the world is difficult and you should be smart. However, you need to restrain your sharp edges and accumulate foundation. You will be safe when nothing happens, and you will be destroyed when things happen. Wherever you go, there will be no disadvantages. Your life will be smooth and without obstacles.
My daughter, when you grow up, I think it will be difficult for your father to be by your side. You need to calm your heart, accompany your mother, calm her heart, and fulfill your filial piety.
My daughter, I hope that when you grow up, you will be lively and smart, calm and steady, insightful and open-minded.
My daughter, may you be strong and wise throughout your life, accompanied by gods and Buddhas, and ward off all evils. "
Li Xuan folded the piece of paper and put it into a red sachet, and then put the red sachet into the purple sachet she carried with her.
Carry it close to your body.
After that, Li Xuan looked solemn, opened the new paper, and began to write another letter.
"My wife respectfully declares: On the eleventh day of the seventh lunar month, I am receiving a letter for my husband. It is time for the war to end. My husband is traveling with the army to help the army defeat the enemy with food and grass, so that he can feel safe and sound.
I have heard your letter and expressed my gratitude for your hard work. I will return eastward one day and compensate you a hundredfold. I will never lie.
You must be careful about things at home. My daughter is young and weak. She is not allowed to see outsiders, she is not allowed to see any animals, and she is not allowed to eat other people's food at will. Be careful.
The sky in the northwest is fixed between ten months and ten months, so don’t think about it. "
After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued to write: "Daci'en Temple and Taiqing Palace both send people to offer incense and pray for blessings, so there must be no mistakes.
When it comes to important things for my wife, safety comes first; when it comes to important things for my daughter, safety comes first. "
Li Xuan looked inexplicably filled with emotion, and then wrote another seven-character poem below: "Everyone raises his son to be smart, but I have spent my whole life tired of being smart.
I still hope that my daughter will be smart and sensitive, and her family will be full without disaster. "
Li Xuan shook his head slightly. Su Shi originally wrote "I hope the child will be foolish and reckless", full of resentment. This is also the reason why his child did not grow up.
Get rid of some bad luck, so that your daughter can grow up safely and healthily, and then be free from disasters, marry a good man, and have children and grandchildren.
Putting away the letter paper, Li Xuan began to write thank you Enzhe again.
The emperor granted him a reward, and since he was a close relative, he still needed to write a memorial to express his gratitude.
The lord of Fuchang County, his fiefdom was in ancient Fuchang County, which is now Yiyang County in Luozhou, only fifty miles away from Luoyang.
This is a good place. When they live in Luoyang in the summer and autumn in the future, they will have a new place to escape the summer heat.
After Xie Enzhe finished writing, Li Xuan opened the letter paper again.
This letter is completely a secret letter, a secret letter written to Li Bi.
In the Qingnan battle, if the battle situation changes, the court will also change, and he must prepare in advance.
…
In the early morning, the generals left with their own soldiers, and the Chinese army camp began to gradually become thinner.
Li Xuan stayed at the end and sent everyone away with Liu Rengui, with a solemn expression.
Standing under the gate of the camp, Liu Rengui looked at Li Xuan and asked with a smile: "The good son-in-law won't blame me for detaining the residence newspaper for a day, right?"
Li Xuan was surprised and quickly said: "What Yue Weng said, my son-in-law has never thought about it in this way. So far, my son-in-law is only happy, there is no blame, let alone the intention of blame."
Seeing Li Xuan's sincere look, Liu Rengui breathed a sigh of relief, then looked to the northwest and said in a deep voice: "Now that the vanguard of the army has arrived at Fuqi City, what do you think the good son-in-law should do to solve the problem of Fuqi City? ?”
Li Xuan immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Old Yue, if the court can provide enough money and food, my son-in-law will definitely handle it very properly."
"I have enough money and food here." Liu Rengui smiled, looking very grand, but he sighed softly: "Unfortunately, the manpower under the command of Youtun Guard is limited, and the soldiers responsible for transporting food and grass to Fuqi City only have a thousand infantry. How much food and grass these one thousand people can transport depends on the skill of the virtuous son-in-law."
"With one thousand people, even if they work day and night, the food and grass that can be delivered to Fuqi City is only five hundred stones." Li Xuan smiled bitterly, but seemed to have expected it before saying: "That's enough for six thousand people for two days." of food and grass, that is to say, Fuqi City and the surrounding villages, towns and pastures, with a total of more than 100,000 people, only 6,000 people can receive relief."
Before the war began, the Tubo people forcibly confiscated most of the grain, grass, cattle and sheep from Fuqi City in advance.
Today, in Fuqi City, in addition to hundreds of thousands of civilians, there are also more than 10,000 Su and Gui soldiers who were defeated by Wang Xiaojie.
In fact, as long as Li Xuan does not capture Fuqi City for one day, even if Fuqi City reaches the point of cannibalism, it has nothing to do with Li Xuan.
Therefore, he can still have some reserves of food and grass.
"No, the good son-in-law doesn't have any food left." Liu Rengui shook his head directly and said: "Now north of Qinghai Lake, General Zuo Xiaowei Murong Nuohebo is approaching Fuqi City with 6,000 cavalry. Once he arrives at Fuqi City, Under the city, his virtuous son-in-law will also be responsible for supplying his food and grass, and the only people delivering food will still be the thousand soldiers."
Murong Nuohebo had 6,000 Zuo Xiaowei cavalry under his command, but these 6,000 Tuyuhun cavalry only belonged to the Tang Dynasty in name only, but they were still his private soldiers.
On the north side of Tuyuhun, tens of thousands of people under Su Hegui were resisting the attack of Murong Nuohebo's six thousand fine cavalry, but they were still pushed forward step by step.
After all, Murong Nuohebo's tribe had received heavy support from the Tang Dynasty in recent years, and their weapons and food were of the highest quality.
In addition, Murong Nuohebo was the former leader of Tuyuhun and the king of Qinghai recognized by the Tang Dynasty. With Tuyuhun's military strength, even ten thousand more people could not stop him.
Li Xuan smiled bitterly and sighed softly: "If Yue Weng does this, then the son-in-law will have no choice but to ask the Prince Consort to come to the Chinese army to ask for food."
"Then there will be time when there is food in the army. If there is no food, we have to ask the governor of Anle Prefecture to go to Shanzhou to ask for food." Liu Rengui raised his head and glanced at Li Xuan, and both of them had expressions on their faces at the same time. A deep smile.
"This is a matter of Su Hegui." Li Xuan looked at Liu Rengui and said in a deep voice: "Since Your Majesty has given the order, now, only the Tuyuhun people will send out all the heads of the Su Hegui clan, and my grandson-in-law can accept it. The surrender of the Tuyuhun people.”
It would be best if the Tuyuhun people never surrendered. In this case, they would only end up starving to death.
But in the face of death, it is impossible for the Tuyuhun people not to save themselves, and Su Hegui will definitely not surrender and beg for surrender. After all, what Li Xuan wants is not him alone, but the heads of his clan, hundreds of them, which is not so easy to surrender. Thoughts of sacrifice.
It is conceivable that a tragic internal strife will inevitably take place in the Tuyuhun Royal City.
With just one sentence, Li Xuan had already planned an internal conflict that could result in more than 10,000 casualties.
Liu Rengui nodded unexpectedly calmly, but still frowned: "Even in the future, a good son-in-law will still need to deal with the food crisis for more than 100,000 people."
"Last night, Yue Weng said that we have the right to run Qinghai, the land of Fuqi City..." Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Liu Rengui. This is the last chance for the more than 100,000 people in Fuqi City. If Liu Rengui can connect this If they don't agree, then Li Xuan will have no choice but to send these 100,000 people to die.
"A good son-in-law can take advantage of me in Fuqi City." Liu Rengui grabbed a golden sword from behind and handed it directly to Li Xuan's hand.
Li Xuan took it with both hands, breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yue, my grandson-in-law will definitely handle the matter in Fuqi City properly."
"A good son-in-law needs to be careful during this trip." Liu Rengui patted Li Xuan's shoulder worriedly, and then said softly: "I still want to attend Xianniang's 100-day banquet with you in Chang'an. Don't make any mistakes. careless."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yue, Xuan will be fine. If something happens to Xuan, I'm afraid that the more than 100,000 people in Fuqi City will be buried with him." Li Xuan bowed deeply and said, "Take care, Mr. Yue, don't let anyone steal your big body." camp."
After saying that, Li Xuan got on his horse and left directly with his Qianniu Guards Jinwu Guards, looking cool and unrestrained.
"This brat." Liu Rengui couldn't help laughing and scolded.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded beside Liu Rengui: "Commander, the King of Nanchang is acting like this, it seems that the affairs of Fuqi City are under control."
As soon as the voice sounded, Liu Rengui's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal and said, "Oh, why does Chang Shi see it like this?"
Liu Rengui turned around, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged official wearing a light crimson official robe stood behind Liu Rengui.
The moment Liu Rengui turned around, Chang Shi's originally straight waist bent slightly. At the same time, he raised his hands and said: "From the beginning to the end, the King of Nanchang never asked the commander to increase the number of people to allocate military rations. In this way, every day it is shipped to Fuqi. The food supply under the city has not increased, which shows that the prince is confident that Fuqi City can be solved under this condition."
"So what means does Chang Shi think the King of Nanchang will use?" Liu Rengui looked deeply at Jiang Chang Shi.
Jiang Sizong was born in the Jiang family of Tianshui. He was the Protector of Yanran and the Governor of Xiazhou. He was the youngest son of Jiang Xie, the Marquis of Chengji County. He was the nephew of Jiang Ke, the Prime Minister of the Left. He was the commander-in-chief of the marching army of the Northwest Road.
"I don't know, the official." Jiang Sizong cupped his hands slightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If the official is responsible for dealing with the matter in Fuqi City, I'm afraid the person in the official position will be reduced to ashes before they arrive."
Liu Rengui sighed softly, waved his hands, and said, "It is precisely because of his special status that the most important move in the Qinghai battle requires him to play in order to succeed."
Liu Rengui turned around and looked in the direction of Fuqi City. There was a hint of worry in his expression, but more of it was ruthless.
Fuqi City was the old royal capital of Tuyuhun. Lun Qinling set up a trap there, hoping to use Fuqi City's 100,000 people to overwhelm the Tang army's logistics.
In the middle, there is the Qinghai King Murong Nuohebo and his 6,000 cavalry left guard blocking the way. It is not easy to solve it.
But Liu Rengui only gave Li Xuan the right to act expediently and dumped the mess on him.
The remaining grain and grass supplies will not be given in excess and will all be used in the direction of Wuhai.
Even Jiang Sizong, a close confidant of Empress Wu, could not understand the thoughts between the grandfather and grandson.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon hangs high. I wish you all a happy holiday, a happy reunion, good health for your family, and full blessings. I wish that I, too, can live with you all my life, free from illness and disaster, protected by Taoism and Buddha, and prosperous.
