Fu Tang

Li Congjia immediately asked: "Have you stopped it?"

Liu Yi quickly said: "I have already sent people to stop it."

Li Congjia nodded: "Stop it and ask for clarification. Also, don't be rude."

After Liu Yi left, the composure on Li Congjia's face disappeared, and he asked in confusion, "Send food? Who is it?"

Shi Xueting said: "Liu Changshi said he was a soldier?"

Li Congjia immediately understood: "You mean... not someone sent by the imperial court? Who could it be?"

Shi Xueting smiled: "Why bother to think too much? Wait and see. There is too little news just now. I didn't say how much food was transported, and I didn't say how many soldiers."

Li Congjia sighed softly, Liu Yi's long history...is still a little unqualified, not a bit worse than the previous one.

Thinking of those people who followed him before but suffered innocent disasters, Li Congjia said as he walked, "I don't know if those people's families have received the compensation money."

"Your Majesty strictly ordered you to be fast and not to be greedy for ink, it should be almost there." After finishing speaking, Shi Xueting recited the Buddha's gatha.

When he and Li Congjia walked to the main courtyard, Liu Yi hurriedly said: "My lord, the carriage of the princess has reached the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, and the cart that just transported the grain was sent by the princess."

Li Congjia froze for a moment before saying: "Oh, that's it...then...let someone get ready, I'll pick up the princess."

No matter what you think in your heart, you still have to save face, not to mention that Zhou Ehuang sent food when he came up, no matter how much he was always solving problems for him, and it also added a lot of prestige to him, it was necessary for both emotion and reason Go pick up.

Sitting in the car frame, Li Congjia made up a lot of things that should be said after seeing Zhou Ehuang, but after the meeting, he found that a sentence was useless!

Half a year can be said to be long or short, but it can be reflected in the child, at least the child who couldn't speak before, now speaks... quite slippery.

Zhou Ehuang didn't want Li Congjia to get in touch with Li Zhongyu at first, but the boy would naturally look for his father after he had a little memory.Zhou Ehuang always thought that Li Congjia was dead before, and he was really relieved. When educating the children, he said that his father had gone to a far away place and it would take a long time to come back.

It's also fortunate that she didn't directly say that his father is no longer alive, otherwise something might happen!

After Li Congjia saw Zhou Ehuang, he said: "My lady has come from afar to work hard."

Zhou Ehuang also said: "Thank you, my lord."

Then...then all the scenes were taken away by Li Zhongyu's kid.

The child Li Zhongyu was probably born with a chatterbox, but he still couldn't speak clearly. For a person who didn't get along with children often, this was a very tormenting thing.

Li Congjia had to devote all his energy to deal with this brat.

In fact, Li Zhongyu is not considered a bear, but the role of father is absent all the year round, which makes him very curious about Li Congjia. He kept asking questions, and Li Congjia kept answering them. Occasionally, Zhou Ehuang would come to him when he didn't understand. Be a translator.

Zhou Ehuang was surprised to find that when Li Congjia faced the child, he was not as fierce or even gentle as she imagined. He was very patient with the child, although there was helplessness in his eyes that could not be ignored.

Zhou Ehuang observed for a long time, but she didn't feel that Li Congjia's kindness was just faking, which made her somewhat relieved. After admiring Li Congjia's exhausted appearance by Li Zhongyu and almost collapsed, Zhou Ehuang rescued him.

"Da Lang, don't quarrel with your father." Zhou Ehuang still had the guilt of letting his son treat his son as his father, but it was not so exaggerated.

Seeing that Li Zhongyu was obedient, Li Congjia couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. After drinking his saliva, he really didn't want to say a word.

However, it’s not enough to say nothing. Li Congjia and Zhou Ehuang briefly explained the current situation of the governor’s mansion, which made Zhou Ehuang know. He hesitated and said: "I will introduce Shishilang to you later. He is the only remaining descendant of the Yang family." , I originally wanted him to lead the army, but now it seems that he has no intention of doing this, and prefers to do business, so you can take care of him later."

Except for Li Congjia, Zhou Ehuang was a person who was easy to soften his heart towards others, when he thought that Yang Xin had no relatives, he couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will not treat this child badly, he is not young, has he ever been engaged? "

This... is hard to answer. Li Congjia doesn't know whether Yang Xin's situation is considered engaged or not.

He had no choice but to say vaguely: "Don't worry about Eleven Lang's marriage. That kid has an idea, and something happened before. I'll tell you when I get back."

When Li Congjia said this, Zhou Ehuang knew it well and did not intend to interfere in Yang Xin's marriage.

She also sees it now, reconciliation is impossible, and she can only continue to live with this "husband", so she must keep the line between each other.

And the current Zhou Ehuang also makes Li Congjia feel more comfortable. They are more like living together with each other, and they are very measured in whether they should care about it or not.

After the two returned to the Governor's Mansion in harmony, Zhou Ehuang was a little surprised when she saw Shi Xueting. She looked at Shi Xueting and then at Li Congjia, and wisely kept silent.

Then that night, Li Congjia discovered that Shi Xueting suddenly appeared in his yard.

Li Congjia looked at Shi Xueting in a daze: "It's so late, why are you still here?"

Holding a lamp in his hand, Shi Xueting persuaded, "Your Majesty works so hard, it's not good for your health."

"Hey, there are too many things." Li Congjia was very depressed: "Rights are directly proportional to responsibilities. I have to take care of the Kanghua Army, the Jinghuai Army, and the affairs of the entire Chizhou."

Shi Xueting said bluntly: "Your Majesty, why do you have to do everything yourself? If you are required to do everything, what do you need those people for?"

Li Congjia thought about it, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, don't worry if you don't know them well. I won't be like this next time."

After finishing speaking, Li Congjia suddenly remembered the question just now, and couldn't help asking again: "You haven't answered me yet, why did you come to my yard? Is there something important?"

Under the moonlight, Shi Xueting's eyes were clear, he looked at Li Congjia and said calmly: "The princess arranged it."

Li Congjia looked puzzled: "What did she arrange for this?"

Shi Xueting knew it well, but he didn't remind Li Congjia, he just clasped his hands together and said, "How is Your Majesty sleeping recently? Do you still need the little monk to recite scriptures to calm the mind?"

Li Congjia shook his head and said: "It's much better now, you should go to rest earlier, well, I'll ask the princess tomorrow, hey, I don't know what she's doing."

Shi Xueting lowered his eyes and sent Li Congjia back to the room. After standing at the door for a while, he turned and went back to his room.

The next day Li Congjia saw Zhou Ehuang and said, "Master Xueting lives well there, why should he move here?"

Zhou Ehuang smiled and said: "Your Majesty and the mage agree in love, isn't it the same before?"

Li Congjia heard something was wrong, and his face immediately became much lighter: "Shi Xueting is now a monk with a serious certificate, if he can find a suitable temple in a few days, they will leave, my lady thinks too much."

But Zhou Ehuang said: "Others can go, but Master Xue Ting may not be able to, and Emperor Taidi may not let it go."

How come you forgot him?

Li Congjia immediately asked: "You are in Jianzhou, how do you know how the emperor's younger brother is doing?"

Zhou Ehuang said: "Even if you are in Jianzhou, you will still communicate with your father and brother."

Li Congjia understood: "What did they say?"

Zhou Ehuang sighed and said: "My father said that the king is showing his sharpness now, so he really needs to be more careful. This time, the saint asked the king to come to Chizhou directly. It may not be a kind of protection. In recent years, the emperor's younger brother has become more and more rampant, but showing his sharpness also has the benefits of showing his sharpness." , It depends on whether the king can grasp it."

Li Congjia replied knowingly, he did pay attention to Li Jingsui, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

To be honest, Li Jingsui was able to win over those whose families were no longer good enough, or who had no other way out, and there must be no generals who led the army. After all, those generals and Li Jingsui had nothing in common, so they were also civil servants.

At this time, those who still harm the interests of the whole for the benefit of their own small circle, forgive Li Congjia to say bluntly, they are all a bunch of brains!

After Li Congjia came out from Zhou Ehuang's place, he began to think about how to explain this matter to Shi Xueting. If he wanted to test Li Jingsui, he really needed Shi Xueting's help.

It's just that this matter is also a bit dangerous for Shi Xueting, Li Congjia thought about it, and decided to give up.

Although Zhou Ehuang's arrival brought some troubles, it also brought a glimmer of life. Among other things, as the mistress, Zhou Ehuang is qualified. She sold some of the grain produced in Zhuangzi, but more Stayed, after all, the Yue Palace had other future projects, and did not rely on these grains to survive.

However, Zhou Zong gave her the idea of ​​transporting food.

Zhou Zong is old and mature. Although he doesn't know what happened to his daughter and son-in-law, he can feel from the letters that the couple's relationship is very weak. Zong didn't want to see it, so he was trying to find a way to help his daughter.

Li Congjia is indeed grateful to Zhou Ehuang. This batch of food came, and a rough calculation shows that it can last at least one month longer. Don't underestimate this month. This time difference is enough for the army to last until the new food comes. much better.

Because of this batch of food, the army was ready to go out. Li Congjia threw the matter of the Jinghuai Army to Shi Xueting, took a piece of paper and wrote down a few lo-mei recipes, threw it to Yang Xin, and told: : "No one can give Fang Zi, you know? Even if the princess asks for it, you can't give it!"

After hearing this, Yang Xin nodded his head and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will burn this house down after I write it down, and no one will see it."

Li Congjia wanted to pat him on the head, but found that the child had grown a lot these days and could no longer be seen as a child, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Work hard, although Yunniang can't read, she manages a shop." It's still fine, even if it grows bigger in the future, we'll leave one room for her, at least she saved us, so don't treat her badly, as for the others, if you need something, go find Liu Yi if I'm not around."

Yang Xin nodded, and couldn't help asking: "Is Your Majesty really going to fight? It will be very dangerous."

Li Congjia said solemnly: "Of course I will. As the commander-in-chief, I will naturally lead the way! Is there anything in this world that is not dangerous?"

Yang Xin looked at Li Congjia with admiration, and then left with admiration. After Li Congjia watched his back disappear, his face collapsed.

Originally, he didn't need to go to war, and he said before that when the army went to war, he would practice it, but the plan didn't change quickly, and now he had to go.

If possible, he doesn't want to go out, who doesn't want to stay in the rear safely?

But he can't be afraid to fight. After all, Shi Xueting's public opinion has already compared him to someone who can rival Zhao Kuangyin. Now he is the backbone of the army. It is a guarantee of morale!

Hey, it seems that Shi Xueting's trick has been played before!

When Cao Cao arrived, when Shi Xueting came in with a stack of manuscripts in his hand, he happened to see Li Congjia looking at him sadly, and couldn't help but pause and ask, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Li Congjia was a little embarrassed, just now he thought no one would come in, but when Shi Xueting saw him having a convulsion, he couldn't help but blush a little.

Seeing that Li Congjia was rather cramped, Shi Xueting changed the topic thoughtfully and said, "We sorted out these things overnight. Your Majesty, take a look. Is there anything that needs to be revised?"

Li Congjia slowed down and pretended to be okay, took a glance after receiving it, and said with a smile, "Both Tian Wuniang and Tian Wen are more experienced than me in this area, so I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"I have to show you, at least I know it well." Shi Xueting said, "I hope that after the king returns from the expedition, he can let you see the real Jinghuai Army."

Li Congjia sighed: "Hey, who can say for sure, if the battle is intense, maybe we will go directly to the battlefield."

Shi Xueting hesitated for a moment and said: "My master and the others have recently found a temple and plan to go there to devote themselves."

Li Congjia patted his forehead: "I have been thinking about this, but recently there are many things, so I ignored it. Where is the temple that the master is looking for? Why don't you let the master find a place, and I will build a temple for you. There are ten temples in ancient times." The three-stick monk rescued the king of Tang, maybe we can pass on a good story."

Shi Xueting couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Majesty needs money everywhere now, why waste it? What's more, if there is a chance, Master and the others still want to go back to Shaolin Temple."

Li Congjia solemnly said: "There will be a chance." After a pause, he asked: "Then you...do you want to go too?"

Shi Xueting said calmly: "Even if I want to leave, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to leave. The emperor's brother will always find me again."

Li Congjia twisted his body uncomfortably and said: "If you don't like it, just leave. There is no need to worry about the emperor's brother, he won't be jumping for long."

Not to mention him and Li Hongji, even Li Jing's patience with Li Jingsui is limited. Li Congjia always feels that Li Jing is now giving in to Li Jingsui because the Southern Tang Dynasty is at stake. The head is about to clean up Li Jingsui.

Shi Xueting shook his head and said: "Master's chosen place is Mount Jiuhua, it's too far away, the Jinghuai army still can't do without us, it's too troublesome to run around, brother Xuehe and I plan to stay."

Li Congjia was immediately relieved. If both of them stayed, there would be much less gossip.

In fact, before Zhou Ehuang came, Li Congjia was never worried that there would be ambiguous rumors about him and Shi Xueting, but Zhou Ehuang seemed to always want to push Shi Xueting towards him. A sense of security.

But... Li Congjia didn't know why, even though Shi Xueting had done certain things to him, he still couldn't feel too charming towards Shi Xueting.

Although sometimes he can't restrain his imagination, but if he is really asked to act, he dare not. He always feels that doing so seems to be blasphemy to the other party.

Li Congjia attributes this to the fact that his love for Shi Xueting is probably the most primitive kind of beauty, but has not developed to the point of love, and Shi Xueting can be said to be his closest person in this world, it has nothing to do with love, Shi Xueting Xue Ting understands him, not Li Yu, but the real him, knows his temper, and knows his preferences.

So Li Congjia cherishes this kind of getting along, and doesn't want to be contaminated with other feelings to cause the relationship between them to deteriorate. Brothers and friends can last a lifetime, but lovers, once they turn against each other, they will become enemies. Li Congjia doesn't want to lose.

I don't know if it is because he is too uncertain about the future war, Li Congjia thought about a lot of things, and almost couldn't get up the next day!

The reason why there was no delay was entirely because Shi Xueting came over and woke him up.

Li Congjia's hair was disheveled, and he looked at Shi Xueting in bewilderment: "Why did you come here so early?"

Shi Xueting said softly: "It's getting late, I have something to give to the king."

Li Congjia was slightly surprised: "What?"

Shi Xueting put a large lacquer box on the ground, opened it and took out a set of scales from inside.

Li Congjia looked at the set of scale armor very surprised: "When was this made?"

"Just finished it yesterday, luckily I was able to catch up." Shi Xueting stood beside him holding the scale armor and watched Li Congjia wash up, and then helped him put on the scale armor himself.

Li Congjia let Shi Xueting play with it a little uncomfortable, and after putting it on, he found that this set of scale armor seemed much lighter.

Shi Xueting warned: "The body of the king's daughter is best not to go to the front line in person. The weight of the scale armor is lighter than ordinary armor. Although a leather armor layer is added inside, the protection is not as good after all."

Li Congjia looked up at Shi Xueting and responded: "Well, I know, you should take care of yourself at home, you have full power to deal with the Jinghuai Army, and be careful not to let Tian Wen interfere too much."

After Shi Xueting tidied things up for Li Congjia, he took a step back and clapped his hands together and said, "I can't practice it for the king in person these days, so I have to wish the king a victory once again."

Li Congjia stood there watching him for a while, then took a step forward, gently hugged Shi Xueting and said, "Wait for me to come back!"

Shi Xueting was a little stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Li Congjia had already walked out of the room, was getting his horse brought in, and was about to leave.

Shi Xueting stepped forward quickly and asked: "The string of Buddhist beads, can your majesty still take it?"

Li Congjia didn't turn his head, but stretched out his hand to reveal the string of Buddhist beads that looked very shiny under the sunlight.

Shi Xueting recited a Buddhist gatha, and then left the palace. From today onwards, he will be staying in the Jinghuai army.

The practice of playing in the battle is the same as drinking and drinking. After Li Congjia drank himself a stomach full of wine, he threw the wine bowl, got on the horse and led the army away without looking back.

In order to avoid being attacked by Zhao Jun, after discussing with Li Ping, Li Congjia decided to go to Qizhou first, so that they can go to Jiangzhou first. Now Jiangzhou is still in the hands of Nantang. After notifying the governor of Jiangzhou, the army is mighty to march forward.

After arriving in Jiangzhou, Li Congjia directly asked Li Ping and Zhu Yuan to divide their troops, with Li Ping going to Qizhou and Zhu Yuan going to Shuzhou.

Many people don't understand why Li Congjia did this. Shuzhou is more important than Qizhou. No matter how you look at it, Li Ping should go to Shuzhou. Why is it the other way around?

Li Ping was surprised, he didn't expect that Li Congjia was young, but he knew people well.

Even though Li Ping had a higher official position than Zhu Yuan, he knew in his heart that when it came to marching and fighting, Zhu Yuan was better than him, which many people didn't know.

It is precisely because of this that Li Ping dare not underestimate Li Congjia.

Li Congjia doesn't care what other people think. Although many things in history can no longer be used as a reference, many things are fixed, such as the general's ability.

As Li Congjia expected, both Qizhou and Shuzhou were fought smoothly. Li Congjia directly took the team to sit in Shuzhou, and on the Qizhou side, Li Congjia's order was to take down Huangzhou.

After sending out the good news, Li Congjia took a deep breath. In fact, the next step is the tough battle.

They had analyzed before that if Zhao Kuangyin deployed a heavy force in Shuzhou, it would not be easy for them to take it down, but they could drag Zhao Kuangyin's main force here and let Jiangdu Mansion continue to advance northwest. It would be better to pinch Zhao Kuangyin left and right.

However, Li Congjia did not have much hope for this. Sure enough, Zhao Kuangyin did not deploy too many troops in Shuzhou, so whether to attack Luzhou next is a very serious question.

Li Congjia sent an urgent letter directly to Li Hongji, wanting to know the situation of their battle with Zhao Kuangyin.

As a result, Li Hongji could almost see question marks all over his head in his reply letter: Li Hongji had no contact with Zhao Kuangyin's main force!

When Li Congjia received this letter, his whole body was numb, and he called Zhu Yuan and his generals over. Li Ping was too far away from him now, and shouting was useless.

After Zhu Yuan read Li Hongji's letter, he frowned. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the messenger shout at the door: "Report to the military master, there is an urgent report!"
