The sky was slightly bright, and the soldiers guarding the city had all changed their faces. They were all in high spirits and were strictly inspected.
In the county government of Yu County, Li Sanniang began to prepare to open the granary to release grain. This was an agreement that had been made at the beginning, so it was natural to fulfill it. Otherwise, there would be no credibility, and the people would no longer support you.
"Men, summon General Zhang Yi here. I have something I need him to do.”After Third Aunt Li pacified those who still wanted to resist, she prepared to let Zhang Yi go to the Li family manor to pick up Yun Yi and the others.
After Zhang Yi arrived at the county office, he brought a hundred guards to the Li family's manor. At this time, the sky was slightly bright. When they arrived at the Li family's manor, it was already breakfast time. Yun Yi had already woken up.
Actually, he didn't sleep well. He was worried last night. After all, because of him, Li Sanniang had attacked Yu County ahead of time. He didn't know if 4,000 people could take it directly.
When he saw Zhang Yi, Yun Yi knew that Yu County had probably been taken over by Li Sanniang.
"Please pack up and follow me to Yu County.”Zhang Yi cupped his hands and said.
This thirteen-year-old Langjun had a higher status than them in this camp.
After all, they were only generals, and unremarkable generals at that. If he hadn't been the leader, he would have been just a small soldier.
However, the young Langjun in front of him was different. He was someone who followed the young master. It seemed that the young master treated him very well.
They were naturally observant and knew that this young Langjun was not an ordinary person. At least, they had to show him some respect.
Yun Yi nodded and said to Zhang Yihui,"Alright, I'll pack my things now.”
They were going to change places again, but Yun Yi did not have any thoughts about it. The Li Residence back then, the current Li family manor, and the future Yu County government office were actually very good places. They were much better than the first few thatched cottages.
After Ma Sanbao attacked Wan Yu County, he began to help Li Sanniang stabilize the situation in the county. After all, this county was close to Chang 'an. There were also a few aristocratic families here. If they wanted to secretly cause trouble, Li Sanniang might not be able to suppress them.
As a diplomat, Ma Sanbao directly acted as a lobbyist. Under the leadership of Sanniang Li, he visited these big families.
The Li family had made a name for themselves in Yu County before, so these aristocratic families naturally had dealings with the Li family before. Naturally, they had seen what the second young master of the Li family looked like.
When they saw that a woman had also begun to attack cities and territories, preparing for the Li family to take Chang 'an, they naturally admired her.
The Li family had already begun to rebel. They were very close to Chang 'an in Taiyuan. Who knew when they would attack?
At that time, if they embarrassed Sanniang Li and slowed down the Li family's pace, when the Li family really took Chang 'an, it would be their death.
These aristocratic families were just aristocratic families in a small county. They naturally could not compare to the Li family, which was once one of the eight pillars of the country.
Since Li Sanniang was here and had already promised them benefits, they were naturally happy to accept it. Everyone just had to mind their own business.
After stabilizing the aristocratic families, the next step was to open the granaries and release the grain. The refugees outside the Li family manor had already been brought to Yu County.
Most of these refugees were old, weak, sick, and disabled women. As for the stronger youths, they were all roped into the military camp.
Therefore, in order to gain the loyalty of these soldiers, Sanniang Li naturally had to treat these refugees better. She also wanted to attract more refugees. At that time, there would be more people following her.
When the granary was opened to release the grain, Yun Yi did not go to watch because he was currently cooking for Third Aunt Li in the government office.
This time, it was a new dish called Yang Chun Noodles. The noodles were ramen that Yun Yi had tried and were very strong. As for the condiments and ingredients, Yun Yi had almost prepared them in Li Village Garden. They were not available in this era, so he tried his best to find some ingredients to replace them and did several experiments.
There was definitely no pork. At this time, pork was called cheap meat because the place where pigs lived was really too dirty.
In addition, there was no castration method in this era. The meat of those pigs was all smelly and could not be eaten. In the end, they could only replace it with mutton.
A bowl of Yang Chun noodles would definitely be enough for Sanniang Li to eat for a while. The north loved to eat noodles, so this special Yang Chun noodles would definitely be enough for Sanniang Li to eat.
"Eh? The noodles this time were different from the previous one. What was the name of the noodles this time?”Sanniang Li looked at the bowl of noodles served by the servant girl and asked curiously.
Yun Yi, who was at the side, replied directly,"Sister Li, this is called Yang Chun Noodles."
It was June now, not October. There was a saying in the sea of words: "The tenth month of the lunar calendar is the spring season.”
"Mm, the taste is not bad. It seems that your culinary skills have grown again. You have already surpassed the imperial chefs in the palace.”
Although Sanniang Li felt that it was June and not October yet, she had never been so particular about delicious food.
Yun Yi watched as Third Aunt Li ate her noodles. She was still so elegant. Although she was not like the young ladies of those large families who were raised in the attic and did not leave the house, she still had to pay attention to a lot of etiquette.
However, Yun Yi felt that this was how a woman should live.
After Third Aunt Li finished a bowl of Yang Chun noodles, she saw Yun Yi looking at her in a daze. Her expression changed slightly, but she did not blame him.
"Now that we have occupied Yu County and have more than 6,000 people under us, do you think we can resist the Sui army coming to Chang 'an?”
"As long as Sister Li believes in herself and has great confidence, I believe that you will definitely be able to defeat Sui Jun." Yun Yi cupped his hands and replied.”
Third Aunt Li did not blame Yun Yi for calling her Sister Li. After all, Yun Yi was a talented person. Such a person still needed some forgiveness.
"Confidence? Of course I am confident, but we have too few people. Moreover, there is only one county. When the time comes, we will be besieged from all sides and become turtles in a jar.”
In fact, Third Aunt Li and Ma Sanbao had already decided on the next step. However, when she saw Yun Yi staring at her in a daze just now, she could not help but ask Yun Yi what he thought. She probably wanted to see if he had any good ideas or how talented he was.
"If the land is preserved and the people are lost, the people and land will be lost. Sister Li, why should we be bothered by the gains and losses of a city? The most important thing for us now is to rope in a large number of those rebel soldiers and the bandits in Guanzhong. We must show some vigor to these bandits. We must eliminate the evils for the people. We can rope them in and suppress them. When the time comes, we will have people. Will we still be afraid of the Sui army?”
Yun Yi's words made Sanniang Li's eyes light up, especially the first few words. This was a classic sentence that only a person with a high understanding of the people's hearts and military affairs could say.
Sanniang Li repeated it a few times. In the end, she stood up and cupped her hands slightly at Yun Yi."Thank you for your advice, Langjun. I know what to do now.”
When she became serious, Sanniang Li did not have a hint of femininity. She really looked like a man. She rarely wore women's clothes and most of the time, she dressed as a man.
Yun Yi felt that if Third Aunt Li had more femininity and thought about how well her older sister would develop, her every move would have a little charm. That way, she would definitely be able to make all the men in the world bow down to her. However, that was not the case.
In Sanniang Li's heart, the Li family's great cause and her ambition would always be the first. She always wished that she was a man so that she could display her ambition. Unfortunately, she was a woman.
Therefore, she had never shown her feminine side. If she were to show her seductive side, it would be like forcing a man.
However, it was precisely because Third Aunt Li had been forcefully imagining herself as a man that she had unknowingly become more heroic and had a different charm. This charm happened to be something that Yun Yi had never seen before, so it aroused the emotions in his heart even more.
Looking at the departing Third Aunt Li, Yun Yi shook his head helplessly. She was truly a stubborn person. The strength of her heart was not something that ordinary women could compare to.
Otherwise, in this world where a woman's lack of talent was virtue, there would not be a figure like Li Sanniang. Without her, it would be at least five times more difficult for the Li family to obtain the world, and the time spent would also be lengthened.
Ma Sanbao once again embarked on his diplomatic journey. This time, his target was the Great Hu Merchant He Panren in Wugong County.
Although he was a Hu, he had grown up in the pass. Because he could not stand the Sui army's oppression of the people, he had gathered the small rebel army and his own subordinates and raised the banner of rebellion.
However, due to the lack of unity and his identity, he had failed to attack Wugong County, so he could only save about 10,000 people and became the king of the mountain in the big manor outside Wugong County.
Ma Sanbao used his glib tongue and Li Sanniang's prestige to convince He Panren.
There were more than 10,000 men and horses. In this era of cold weapons, horses were as important as armored vehicles in the future.
When Sanniang Li heard that Ma Sanbao had successfully won over He Panren, she was very happy. She personally met this Hu merchant and began to prepare to attack Wugong County and resist the Sui army.
Ma Sanbao led 2,000 troops and began to encircle and suppress the surrounding bandits. They were polite before resorting to force. If they were unwilling to accept the imperial edict, they would immediately start fighting.
Within a month, Sanniang Li had taken down Wugong County, and Ma Sanbao had taken all the surrounding bandits into custody. His army had grown to about 30,000 people.
At the same time, the imperial court far away in Chang 'an finally noticed Sanniang Li's actions. The Underworld Master directly sent the Sui army general Qu Tutong to lead 50,000 people to attack Sanniang Li.
