Chapter 971: Divide the troops and transfer to Yanzhou
"Why did the gentleman get to the army?"
Li Fuguo couldn't hide the surprise in his heart, since he beat Li Heng and had a stroke, Li Yu lost his foundation and was gradually marginalized in the court, but fortunately, he was not implicated in all political struggles. Until Chang'an fell into the hands of the Tubo people, Li Mi completely lost his news, and there was no one until his whereabouts.
Who would have thought that this Li Mi, who was once a teacher and friend of Li Heng, would appear in Li Fuguo's army at this moment.
Intuition told Li Fuguo that Li Mi's appearance was not necessarily a good thing, but he was afraid that he would prevent him from returning to Chang'an. But he was only half right, because Li Mi had no intention of preventing him from returning to Chang'an, but only persuaded him not to go south to Xiaoguan.
"How is this possible? Xiao Guan was besieged by the Fan Hu thieves, how could Li ignore it?"
A sneer appeared in Li Mi's eyes, but he immediately retracted quietly.
"Doesn't the general want to know who is besieging Xiao Pass?"
Li Fuguo did not know anything about the Hu soldiers who besieged Xiao Pass, but he had long been preconceived that this was a trick carried out by Qin Jin, so he replied without thinking:
"Needless to say, it is naturally inseparable from Qin Jin!"
Li Mi was heartbroken:
The besieged of Xiaoguan was the remnants of the Tibetan army defeated from Chang'an, and the leader was the right-hand man under the command of Naima Xiangzhong Bajie, one was Shang Xijie, and the other was Dazaru Gong. ”
"Sir is too alarmist, isn't he? I have long heard that after the Tubo people signed a letter of state with the imperial court to pay tribute, they fled back to the plateau in embarrassment, why did they run to the Lingwu realm to attack Xiao Pass in the blink of an eye?"
Li Fuguo refused to believe it, in his opinion, this was simply a fantasy. But Li Mi's face was gloomy, and he said solemnly:
"At the risk of being caught and killed, Li personally investigated on the spot and confirmed that there was no mistake and there was absolutely no mistake! If the general didn't believe it, even if you had 30,000 people, you would send sheep into the tiger's mouth!"
"Don't want to grow the morale of the thieves and destroy your own prestige! Li respects Mr. Li, but if you continue to disturb the morale of the army so much, don't blame Li for not remembering the old feelings!"
When Li Mi heard this, he sneered a few times.
"What old feelings do you and I have? If Li Mou didn't think about an encounter with the Son of Heaven, why did he bother to work thanklessly? In short, Li Mou has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and if the general refuses to believe it, he will insist on going his own way and take his leave!"
After saying that, Li Mi turned around and left, but he didn't know whether to send Li Fuguo or keep it.
"Slow, slow...... Mr. walks slowly, Li does not disbelieve Mr., but now that the army has left the Lingwu, he can't go back, right?
His statement is both a real dilemma and a high-sounding reason for himself.
Finally, Li Mi was not determined to leave, so he stopped and said:
"Don't go to Xiaoguan, go to Yanzhou!"
"Yanzhou?"
"Exactly. Yanzhou resisted the southern part of Shuofang, and the remnants of Tubo would never have imagined that the general would make a detour from here!"
In Li Fuguo's view, as long as he does not return to Lingwu, since it is only a detour, what reason does he have not to agree? To tell the truth, he still admires Li Mi and his people very much, and since Li Mi said conclusively that the people besieging Xiao Pass are the remnants of the Tibetan army, he already has seventy or eighty percent of the convincing beliefs.
"Just listen to Mr., early tomorrow morning, immediately order the whole army to be transferred to Yanzhou!"
"No! not the whole army......"
Li Fuguo's words made Li Fuguo confused again, looked at him in confusion, and asked:
"Sir, what do you mean by that, sir?"
"The general must divide his troops and continue to Xiaoguan all the way, and transfer to Yanzhou on the other road. ”
"Why is that?"
"Both Shang Sijie and Dazarugon are extremely treacherous generals, and if the whole army turns, they will soon find out. The soldiers are divided into two ways to confuse them, so that the general can escort the Son of Heaven unknowingly and arrive in Jingshi safely!"
Hearing this, Li Fuguo slapped his thigh fiercely.
"This plan is very clever, very wonderful, not only confusing the Fan Hu thief soldiers, but also deceiving Qin Jin's guy, it is really the best of both worlds. ”
However, Li Mi immediately poured a basin of cold water.
"Even if the troops are divided, there is still a certain risk, if this plan is discovered......"
Li Fuguo said nonchalantly:
"How can you see through it?" Sir, looking at those officials who are dragging their families and carrying big cars and bags, with the attraction of these people, how can Fan Hu notice that Li's light soldiers are moving in?"
Just after he agreed with Li Mi's suggestion, he immediately made a trade-off in his heart, and a large number of officials' dependents and non-descendants recruited from Lingwu were regarded as outcasts.
However, Li Mi was unimpressed by his idea.
"By all means, these civil and military officials will be the foundation that the Son of Heaven will rely on after returning to Chang'an, if they are allowed to fall into the mouth of the tiger, even if the Son of Heaven returns to Chang'an, won't it be difficult to support it alone?"
Li Fu National Road:
Besides, people in the world are willing to squeeze their heads in order to become officials, and as long as Li Mou raises his arms and exhales, countless people are willing to rush up to fight for the Son of Heaven, and if we only look at the small profits in front of us, when will we be able to ......?"
Suddenly, Li Mi actually said:
"I don't know if the Son of Heaven is okay, please ask the general to lead me to meet the Son of Heaven!"
He was interrupted halfway through his words, Li Fuguo was very unhappy, and out of control of the Son of Heaven, he instinctively seemed to refuse, but after thinking about it, Li Mi was just a wandering ghost without any foundation, even if he was allowed to see Li Heng, what did it matter?
Moreover, if Li Heng saw Li Yu, maybe he would be in a better mood, and it would save him the trouble of coaxing this son of heaven who couldn't take care of himself.
"Okay, it's just that it's getting late, I don't know if the Son of Heaven is resting, if you have already fallen asleep, you can only grieve Mr. wait for another night, and it's not too late to go tomorrow at dawn, after all, the body and bones of the Son of Heaven can't withstand the toss, if the rest is not good......"
Li Fuguo said a lot of words, and Li Mi only nodded to indicate that he could understand and was willing to wait.
"I've been tired all night, and my husband hasn't eaten yet, has he?"
Li Fuguo immediately ordered someone to bring wine, meat and bread, the mutton was just slaughtered today, and the whole big pot was stewed and cooked, and it has not been cooled until now, which is exclusively for Li Fuguo to eat. He took it out now to entertain Li Mi, which was also a rare and generous time.
Li Mi was indeed hungry, and he couldn't help but salivate when he saw the wine and meat on the desk in front of him, so he no longer pretended to be polite, gobbled it up, ate meat, and drank wine in a big bowl, so heartily. For more than a month, I have eaten and slept in the open air, and I have never eaten a steaming full meal one day......
But somehow, Li Mi's figure suddenly froze, and the mutton stuffed in his mouth was neither swallowed nor spit out, and tears flowed out of his eyes. This sudden change stunned Li Fuguo, and he didn't know what kind of stimulus Li Mi was under.
Li Mi finally reacted again, only to see that after he swallowed the mutton in his mouth into his stomach a few times, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and then cried bitterly.
The cry was like thunder, and the shocked Li Fuguo covered his ears!
"What is it that sir, sir, is so sad?"
In Li Fuguo's impression, Li Mi is an extremely free and easy character, how could he ever have such a feminine state at this time today?
Li Mi cried for a long time before he stopped crying and let out a long sigh:
"Li is not crying for himself, it is the Son of Heaven and the Tang Dynasty who are crying!"
In just three or five years of effort, the Tang Dynasty was like a towering building suddenly collapsed, falling into a situation that everyone can ravage, the Taiping Son of Heaven died in *, and the Son of Heaven had a stroke and could not take care of himself.
"Feeling sad and making the general smile!"
After a painful experience, Li Mi's appetite did not diminish at all, and he devoured it again, and saw that a basin full of mutton was at the bottom. Li Fuguo also smacked his lips when he looked at it, Li Mi has always been famous for his fairy wind bones, but now he has become like this. He sighed secretly in his heart: It seems that many cow characters can't starve!
In the early morning of the next day, Li Mi saw Li Heng, the son of heaven, who was lying on the marching couch. Although it was only early winter now, Lingwu's wind blew on his face like a knife stabbing pain, in order not to make the Son of Heaven cold, his body was covered with several Zeng brocade quilts.
Today's Li Heng has long been thin into a skinny skin, although his eyes are full of gloomy color, but his spirit is still okay, after all, he is going to return to Chang'an, and it is reasonable to be in a better mood. However, when he saw Li Mi for the first time, he couldn't help crying, and half of his body trembled violently with excitement.
Li Mi secretly sighed, is this still the same ambitious Li Heng? What he saw at this time was just a waste man, a waste man who even had to rely on others to finish eating, drinking, and Lazar.
It's just that he has already cried last night when he should have cried, and there will not be a tear in Li Mi's eyes at this time.
"Your Majesty is well and well......"
"Sir, sir, you think about it......"
Without saying a word, Li Heng was already crying breathlessly, and his face turned red because of it. This situation frightened Li Fuguo, for fear that Li Heng would fall ill again under the excitement, so he hurriedly glanced at Li Mi, signaling him to avoid it for a while, and wait for Li Heng's mood to stabilize before coming back.
Li Mi and Li Fuguo left the tent where Li Heng was, and after a long time, he said:
"Divide the troops as soon as possible, arrive in Chang'an one day earlier, and the Son of Heaven will suffer one less day!"
This is also what Li Fuguo thinks about day and night, only when he returns to Chang'an, will he get rid of the fear of being outside the court. If the time in Lingwu is not delayed for a day, that fear will grow a few points, and it is like a beast that cannot be seen, with a bloody mouth, closing a little bit every day, and one day the mouth will be closed, and they will completely become the food in the belly of the beast, and there will be no day to turn over!
