The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 406
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor and the civil and military officials were discussing matters in the main hall, and women were not allowed to interrupt, especially irrelevant women were not even allowed to go to the Golden Hall.These irrelevant women of course include Li Yuan's 72 concubines and their wives.

However, regulations are dead, but people are alive.If there is an official, there will be selfishness, and if there is selfishness, there will be disadvantages. It has been the same principle throughout the ages.Today Li Xiuning not only openly went to the main hall in front of civil and military officials, but also participated in military and state affairs in an open manner, which is unique in history.

When Li Xiuning knelt down on the Golden Hall, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's rich and fat face was not angry, but leaned away happily and said, "Ning'er, please get up quickly, why do you want to meet your father at the Golden Hall?"

Li Yuan has loved Li Xiuning even more than his sons since he was a child. Now that his daughter is married again, it means that his daughter is a guest. Since she is a guest, she must be warm and polite. The most charitable father in the world treats his daughter in the same way.

After Li Xiuning got up to thank him, she glanced at Li Shimin and said, "The elder brother's conquest of Yang Yong was fruitless, and the second younger brother is going to go to Shandong. I don't know what the father wants to do in Pingyang?"

Li Yuan smiled, "Ning'er has been very strong since she was a child, and she has made immortal contributions to my Tang Dynasty. Now my Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and strong generals are like clouds. Ning'er should also have a few days to relax, and she can be a husband and a child." , or go to the palace to accompany your mother and enjoy a few days of happiness."

Li Xiuning pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "Father, in terms of merit, the elder brother and the second younger brother are both above Ning, why not let them enjoy the blessings in the capital? In the eyes of the father, a daughter will never be as good as a son, right? ? The emperor is too partial, and Xiu'er will not follow her!"

Li Yuan was not angry at all when he heard this, and his face was already full of joy: "Ning'er, my father knows what you are thinking, okay, since you can't be idle, Shao'er is in Tongguan, my father will give you 10 horses, you Go to Tongguan to help the prince and Shao'er."

When Li Xiuning heard this, she didn't thank her, so she rolled her eyes and thought, I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, how can I, Li Xiuning, be willing to play a supporting role?What's more important is that Yang Yong and Yang Yuling are both in Shandong, and my aunt must ask them to settle the score!

It turned out that in these years, Li Xiuning's hatred for Yang Yong has not been let go at all, but it has been renewed for a long time. The more powerful Yang Yong is, the more prosperous he is, the more fierce the fire of hatred in Li Xiuning's heart. This is probably the psychology of enemies.Li Xiuning's other enemy is Yang Yuling. The two used to be godsisters who were like sisters. They turned against each other because of love. They fought to the death in Tongguan. Li Xiuning hated Yang Yuling even more than Yang Yong.

Therefore, when Li Xiuning heard that Li Yuan asked him to help him fight in Tongguan, she was obviously not happy. Her brother, husband, and father's dominance all took a backseat to Li Xiuning's revenge mentality. Moreover, Li Xiuning also realized that Yang Yong was their leader. home's worst enemy.

So Li Xiuning saluted again and said: "Father, the elder brother of the crown prince is magnificent and powerful, and the second brother Shimin is strategizing. They are the pillars of the country, and they are more than enough to stand alone. No one needs Ning'er's assistance. Don't look at the confrontation in Tongguan. For the time being, I believe that the elder brother of the crown prince will make great achievements in the near future. It is no problem for the second brother Shimin to go to Youzhou to join forces with Liu Heitai to deal with Yang Yong. Ninger wants to bring his own troops and horses to go to Shandong, please be kind to the emperor allow."

Li Yuan never doubted his daughter's military ability. It is no exaggeration to say that his daughter can compete with his two sons. Therefore, Li Yuan immediately approved the decree and named Li Xiuning the Marshal of the Third Army.After Li Xiuning thanked her, she happily left the Golden Palace.

Li Shimin and Li Xiuning dispatched troops almost at the same time, both commanding [-] troops. Under Li Shimin's command were Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Li Yuanba, etc.; under Li Xiuning's command were generals Ma Sanbao, He Panren, Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili, Xiong Fei and others.

Li Yuan loved his daughter so much that he issued an imperial decree to transfer the generals Li Xiaogong and Luo Song from Li Shimin's command to Li Xiuning's camp and serve as Li Xiuning's deputy.

Before starting the army, Li Xiuning used the excuse of thanking his second brother, and the two siblings met in the tent.Li Xiuning said: "Second brother, it's a good strategy for you to pretend to join forces with Liu Heita to deal with Yang Yong this time, but my sister reminds you that Liu Heita is a capricious person, insidious and cunning, and has the secrets of Turks and Mohes." Support, be careful that he stabs you in the back."

Li Shimin smiled: "Thank you sister for reminding me, Shimin should remember it. Shimin also wants to ask my sister to pay attention, Yang Yong is not an easy-going generation, he has no opponent with a single gun, and his subordinates are as strong as clouds, including Li Jing, Wei Zheng, The assistance of Su Dingfang and others is a tough nut to crack. When you arrive in Shandong, sister should not be greedy for merit and trade for personal grievances a few years ago, and fall into the trap. It is better to join forces with the second brother and attack from north to south to win."

When Li Xiuning heard her little face down, she raised her eyebrows and said, "You know a lot, take care of yourself! Do you know why my father never let you send troops? It's too big, take it easy in the future, and leave!" After Li Xiuning finished speaking, she got up and left.

Seeing Princess Pingyang's half-truth and half-fake face-off, Li Shimin also heard the clue, and felt a sense of enlightenment, so he hurriedly sent him off with a respectful smile.

On an auspicious day, the two groups of people set up their camps and left the capital at the same time. Li Yuan led the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to see them off in person. 20 troops departed from Bingzhou, and left the capital in mighty force. A few days later, the two brothers and sisters parted ways from Dingzhou. Li Shimin's [-] troops set off to the northeast, while Li Xiuning's [-] soldiers marched to the southeast, and crossed Hengshui to attack Texas.

At this time, Dezhou was almost an empty city. The reason was that Liu Heitai was unable to fight against Yang Yong, his troops shrank, and he even gave up Licheng. Yuyang, Zhuojun, Bazhou, Yizhou, Hejian, Cangzhou and other counties remained, and the areas south of Cangzhou were all abandoned.

Therefore, Li Xiuning's army took over Dezhou without bloodshed.But at this time, Yang Yong's troops had captured Licheng. After Li Jing received the battle report, he led General Luo Shixin's [-] troops and set off from Mingzhou to join forces with Yang Yongbing's horses in Licheng.

Yang Yong was very happy with the arrival of 13 soldiers including Li Jing and Luo Shixin. He dispatched troops and left some soldiers to guard the states and counties he gained, such as Dezhou, Wuyang, Tai'an and other places. With four beautiful wives, together with Li Jing, Luo Shixin, etc., an army of 15, claimed to be [-], went northward and went straight to Dezhou.

As soon as Yang Yong's troops left Licheng, they received the battle report. Li Tang sent two more troops with a total of 20 troops. Li Shimin had gone to attack Youzhou, and Li Xiuning had already taken Dezhou.

Yang Yong was taken aback when he heard that Li Shimin, who was famous all over the world, finally appeared on the stage, and he was getting closer and closer to him.Li Xiuning is here too?This military genius has not forgotten the hatred with himself, and this time the comer must be bad.The two brothers and sisters are undoubtedly the most difficult opponents. Now Liu Heitai is dead in name only, and he is not Li Shimin's opponent at all. It seems that the Li family sisters are going to join forces to attack themselves!
