Chapter 43 How to Be the Best of Both Worlds

"Chen Lang, I want to eat aftertaste chicken!"

"Do it, do it immediately!"

"I want to eat skin jelly!"

"Do it, do it for your husband right away!"

Since Li Xiuning got pregnant, Li Xiuning has become the queen. Chen Ying became Li Xiuning's young follower. In fact, Li Xiuning's physical fitness is not bad, but her reaction is too great. Generally speaking, pregnant women cannot eat greasy food, but Li Xiuning is better. Instead, she likes to eat meat more than before, and she is simply a pleasure to have no meat.

Of course, Li Xiuning would vomit after eating it. However, she would continue to eat it after vomiting.

Pregnancy is a very painful torture. When Chen Ying was taking care of Li Xiuning in detail, he thought of Li Daozhen at the same time. Li Daozhen had never seen her when she was pregnant until she gave birth. All the hardships and fatigues were carried by Li Daozhen.

Whenever Chen Ying thought of this, he felt quite uncomfortable.

Losing to heart.

This is Chen Ying’s biggest feeling.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ying allowed Li Xiuning to support him.

"Chen Lang, I want to vomit again!" Li Xiuning said coquettishly.

At this time, Li Xiuning's temperament changed drastically and she became extremely delicate.

However, what Chen Ying understood most was that women are fickle.

Sure enough, Chen Ying had just taken the spittoon, and Li Xiuning turned around and lay on the soft couch, and said lazily: "Chen Lang, I don't want to vomit anymore..."

In fact, Li Xiuning is also testing how much love Chen Ying has for her.

Li Xiuning was pregnant by herself and could not have sex for almost a year. At this time, Chen Ying's five concubines should come in handy, but Li Xiuning was worried that Chen Ying would be bored with the old and the old.

In fact, Li Xiuning suffered from prenatal depression. Chen Ying naturally understood Li Xiuning and willingly accepted Li Xiuning's trouble.

At night, Chen Ying took a shower as usual and came to the bedroom. However, Chen Ying was turned away.

"Sanniang, open the door, it's me!" Chen Ying looked at the bedroom where the door was closed and smiled bitterly: "Open the door!"

Li Xiuning said: "If you don't open, you will definitely not open!"

"Why?"

"Because, now I have a body, I can't go to the room!"

"You think too much, how can you not know this for your husband? Don't worry, I just hugged you and sleeped!"

Li Xiuning looked at He Yue'er beside him, looking at He Yue'er dressed in a gorgeous dress, and said to the outsider: "You don't keep your word, and you say you don't touch me every time, but you do it once!"

Chen Ying was speechless and could not argue.

However, Chen Ying did not force himself.

Seeing Li Xiuning's firm attitude, he turned around and left helplessly.

When Chen Ying came to the study, he picked up a few books and flipped through them. He realized that it was boring. He felt a little sad and came to the bedroom in the study. Chen Ying was stunned and found He Yueer sitting upright on the bed.

Chen Ying asked in surprise: "Why is Miss Yue'er here?"

"Shouldn't I be here?" He Yue'er smiled softly.

"It's a very unexpected thing. You're elusive anyway!" Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "What's wrong with Miss Yue'er?"

However, after hearing this, He Yue'er's pretty face turned pale, her slightly raised nose was a little sore, and she said with tears in her eyes: "In the eyes of the husband, there is nothing wrong, shouldn't Yue'er come?"

Chen Ying felt inexplicably strange. He absolutely did not believe that He Yueer would cry. In Chen Ying's eyes, He Yueer was a tomboy who could run a horse on his arms and kill a tiger with three punches. No matter how cute a girl looked, Chen Ying knew that if He Yueer wanted, she could take off her head with bare hands.

What Chen Ying was most disdainful was the woman's tears, and he couldn't help but panic: "Miss Yue'er, if you have something to say, why did you cry? If this is spread, it will be like me!"

He Yue'er choked and said, "Yue'er is the concubine of the husband."

"My concubine is a famous concubine!" It is their duty to have children and pass on the family line, and they are unavoidable.

Chen Ying couldn't help but get entangled.

If He Yue'er was driven out, I'm afraid He Yue'er wouldn't have to see anyone again in the future. A woman who was driven out of the house by her master seemed to have no choice but to die.

Of course, He Yue'er may be more difficult than ordinary women.

Looking at Chen Ying hesitating, He Yue'er said again: "This is what the princess means!"

"Then... turn off the lights!" Chen Ying shouted in his heart: "I love this era!"

...

The Chang'an City Imperial Palace and the Liangyi Hall of Tai Chi Palace are brightly lit. Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and the prime minister and important officials are planning countermeasures.

The Minister of War Qu Tutong stood in front of a large wooden map and was reporting to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, the Western Turks are now divided into three groups. The central army is led by Kuba and Wanneng, with about 30,000 troops and resident Wenshui (i.e. Wenwei River, now east of Wuwei), with the purpose of preventing our Tang Dynasty from supporting Liangzhou. In addition, thousands of cavalrymen from lightly entering Tanglong Town (20 miles west of the Yellow River in the southeast of Junggar Banner, Inner Mongolia). It seems that they are in alliance with the Eastern Turks Jieli Khan. Now, the Tang Dynasty is in Guanzhong, and can recruit 80,000 troops in the palace, including 36,000 cavalry soldiers. If we include the left and right guards in the East Palace and the left and right guards, the court can call out 120,000 troops..."

Speaking of this, Qu Tutong sighed and said, "Your Majesty, if you draw these 120,000 troops, I am afraid that this is a strategy for the Turks to attack the east in the west. If Liangzhou cannot defend it, no matter how unexpected this army is, there will be no troops to adjust in Guanzhong."

At this time, Xiao Yu bowed and said, "I will die without hesitation. I beg your Majesty to issue an edict to temporarily give up Liangzhou!"

Xiao Yu said something and was startled.

"Give up Liangzhou!"

The ministers were shocked and talked a lot.

Li Yuan's eyes scanned his ministers like lightning, and Feng Deyi also came from a background and said, "I'm asking!"

The important officials in the hall stood up one after another: "I'm going to discuss it-"

Li Jiancheng was indignant, but couldn't speak.

Pei Ji still closed his eyes and did not speak.

In the hall, the crowd was in a panic.

Li Jiancheng was speaking generously: "Li Daozong is still trying to resist the army of the Western Turks, and the soldiers on the front line are still fighting. In the temple, the dukes only want to give up Liangzhou. Now that the Western Turks have reached Liangzhou, you want to give up Liangzhou. If you enter Guanzhong, do you have to give up Chang'an? Are you worthy of Li Daozong? Are you worthy of the soldiers who fought bloody battles for the Tang Dynasty?"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but blush and said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Western Turkic commander Ye Hu Khan is invincible, powerful and powerful in the Western Regions, destroying dozens of countries, swallowing whales thousands of miles like tigers, and his military skills are no less than Xiang Yu, the King of Chu of that year. Moreover, Liangzhou is too far from Chang'an. If we rescue Liangzhou, we will definitely lose the troops in Guanzhong. However, once there is a change in Bingzhou or Hebei, the Tang Dynasty will be worried about its destruction."

Feng Deyi immediately continued: "Your Highness, now it is autumn. You will be ice and snow in less than a month outside the border. At that time, tens of thousands of troops will be wandering outside, with roads blocked and unreachable advances and retreats. It is still unknown whether Li Daozong can persist until the reinforcements arrive. However, once the Eastern Turkic Khan knew that Guanzhong was empty, he would never take it lightly. The danger of Chang'an is already in front of him!"

Li Jiancheng said sadly and angryly: "Although Liangzhou is now in critical condition, the safety of Liangzhou and Bingzhou are not a relationship of either one or the other. Whether we can protect both depends on our decision and ability."

"Can you really achieve both ends?" Xiao Yu asked Qu Tutong and said, "General Qu Tu, if you give you 30,000 troops, how sure are you to be able to rescue Liangzhou?"

Qu Tutong refused to answer.

Xiao Yu asked again: "What if I give you 50,000 people?"

Qu Tutong still refused to answer.

Xiao Yu asked again: "What if I give you 80,000?"

Qu Tutong pondered and said, "If there are 80,000 people, you should be 70,000 people who will kill to Liangzhou and break through the warm water. However, it will still be fast. You have to kill to Liangzhou when Li Daozong responds to us."

Xiao Yu said: "Your Highness, the old minister's judgment is similar to General Qu Tu. Then ask Your Highness again, if Guanzhong draws 80,000 troops to rescue Li Daozong, and Jie Li Khan leads 300,000 Eastern Turkic troops to invade with all his strength, can Guanzhong still resist? Can Hebei resist? Where is Youzhou? Where is Bingzhou? Where is Lingzhou?"

"This..." Li Jiancheng knew that if it was an expedition to rescue, the troops dispatched would be all the palace soldiers. The new soldiers and infantry did not have the ability to expedition quickly. They would probably cause trouble if they went there. However, if 20,000 main cavalry were drawn, it would be a problem for Guanzhong. Although they might not be unable to defend, Li Jiancheng dared not say that he was very sure.

At this time, the ministers cheered: "The words of Prime Minister Xiao are also a plan to achieve the country. To save the Tang Dynasty, it is better to give up Liangzhou first!"

At this moment, Pei Ji, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and walked forward slowly. The ministers were stunned.
