The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 21



The next day, the second day of October.

According to etiquette, Li Yuan wanted to summon the newlyweds Li Changqing and Changsun Wugou to the Tai Chi Hall.

In the imperial city, a gorgeous carriage pulled by five handsome horses came slowly.

In the spacious and comfortable carriage, Li Changqing closed his eyes and rested, sitting upright like a javelin.

The eldest grandson Wugao who was sitting side by side with him said:"My husband is going to Youzhou, please take Guanyin with you."

Li Changqing didn't even open his eyes and said calmly:"Youzhou is located on the border and the conditions are difficult. You don't have to Go and suffer."

Changsun Wugou said quickly:"I only hope that I can take care of my husband personally and not be afraid of suffering!"

Li Changqing said:"You are not allowed to bring female relatives with you in the army."

Changsun Wugou looked disappointed, but he still did not give up and continued He said:"You and I are one husband and wife. My husband has been in Youzhou for three years. How can I stay alone in Chang'an?"

Li Changqing opened his eyes and still refused without hesitation:"I am the general of Tiance and I should set an example. There is no need to say anything more."

Changsun Wugu was sad, but Li Changqing had made up his mind.It's useless what she said

……

Tai Chi Hall.

Li Yuan is like an ordinary father, accepting the blessings of newlyweds.

He took Li Changqing and Changsun Wugao to talk about their family affairs.

After doing the housework for more than an hour, he said seriously:"Ziguan, tomorrow is the day you set off for Youzhou.

Recently, the cities near Youzhou have been frequently harassed and attacked by Turks. The people on the border are suffering. It's unspeakable. With you in charge of Youzhou, the people will have no worries."

Youzhou is a border fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, blocking the only way for the Turks to reach the hinterland of the Central Plains. Once Youzhou is breached, the consequences will be disastrous.

All dynasties and generations have stationed heavy troops in Youzhou and do not dare to neglect it at all.

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country! Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty even moved the capital directly from Nanjing to Youzhou.

For this reason, Youzhou was later also called Beijing.

Li Changqing solemnly said:"Father, don't worry, as long as your son is here, the Turks will not be able to go south!" Li Yuan nodded slightly and said:"Early tomorrow morning, I will personally lead all the civil and military officials to swear an oath for the White Robe Army."

We chatted for a long time about Youzhou, and we didn't stop until the eunuch reminded us that it was lunch time.

The emperor's lunch was not as rich as the people thought.

At least the three dishes and one soup placed in front of Li Changqing were far from being described as rich.

Although the eldest grandson Wugou is a first-class wife and Li Changqing's first wife, as a woman, she is still not qualified to dine at the same table as Li Yuan and Li Changqing.

Li Yuan and Li Changqing were having dinner, and she was waiting on them.

She has a gentle personality, coupled with her knowledge and understanding, and her words and deeds are virtuous and dignified. Li Yuan likes her more and more.

He said with a smile:"Guanyin Maid, please tell me, whatever request you want, I will grant it to you as a wedding gift for you and Ziguan."

Changsun Wugao's eyes lit up, and he said with a look of surprise:"Father, Emperor Are you serious?"

Li Yuan nodded with a smile,"You are not joking."

Changsun Wugou said quickly:"I want to go to Youzhou with my husband."

After the words fell, Li Changqing's hand holding vegetables suddenly hovered in the air.

"What kind of request is this? Li Yuan waved his sleeves and said,"Please make one more request."

Changsun Wugou said with a smile on his face,"So, does your father agree?" If so, I have no other request.

Li Yuan nodded and said,"Ziguan has been in Youzhou for three years. You and he are one and the same. You should have gone together to take care of his daily life.""

Li Changqing quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Yuan.

"I have made my own decision on this matter, Ziguan, you don’t need to say anything."

As he spoke, he looked at his eldest grandson Wugou and said,"In addition to agreeing to accompany you to Youzhou with Ziguan, I will also give you a thousand pieces of brocade, ten thousand taels of gold, twenty maids, and a piece of glazed jade.……"

Li Yuan gave him a lot of gifts, but his eldest grandson Wugou didn't look happy or moved at all.

These gifts were worthless in her heart.

All she wants is to stay with Li Changqing and take care of his daily life

……

After coming out of Tai Chi Hall, it was already several hours later.

After leaving the palace and sending his eldest grandson Wugao back to Tiance Mansion, Li Changqing went straight to the military camp stationed outside Chang'an City.

The military camp stretches for several kilometers. From a distance, it looks like a sleeping dragon, with no end in sight.

There are 80,000 white-robed troops, including six guards: Dragon Cavalry Guard, Shadow Guard, Mo Dao Guard, Heavy Armor Guard, Divine Arrow Guard, and Logistics Guard.

Among them, the Dragon Cavalry Guards are composed of the most elite and bravest soldiers in the army, with a total of 5,000 people, who directly obey Li Changqing's orders. When the two armies are fighting, they are responsible for defeating the enemy's main force.

The Shadow Guard is an intelligence agency under Li Changqing, responsible for monitoring all kinds of intelligence. There are a thousand people in total.

Mo Daowei is the main force of the White Robe Army. Fifty thousand Mo Dao guards, wearing light armor and holding Mo Dao, only attack but not defend, advance but never retreat. When killing enemies on the battlefield, turn into the cruelest meat grinder. Li Jing serves as the chief general and Qin Qiong serves as the deputy general.

There are 20,000 heavily armored guards, all of whom are strong, tall and mighty, possessing endless strength. They are the defensive force of the entire White Robe Army. Yu Chigong served as the chief general, and Cheng Yaojin served as the deputy general.

In the Battle of Yangzhou, Yuwen Chengdu led 30,000 cavalry to charge into Li Changqing's Chinese army camp. The heavily armored guards killed 13,000 enemies, directly destroying nearly half of the most elite 30,000 Yuwen cavalry.

The Divine Arrow Guards, a total of four thousand people, are all sharpshooters who can penetrate the Yangtze with a hundred steps. Whether it is a siege or a pursuit, it is a nightmare for the enemy. Commanded by Su Dingfang.

Logistics Guards, a total of 1,000 people, are responsible for logistics issues such as food, fodder, and food. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are in charge.

Li Changqing rushed to the Chinese army camp on flying horse and quickly summoned all his generals to start a meeting.

The army will set off tomorrow, and he has some things to explain.

Soon, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other generals and counselors rushed to the Chinese army camp.
