"Gong ...... What about the princess?" Li Benchu trembled and struggled to sit up, but his first sentence was to ask about Jin Zhu's situation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Xiang's sad and heavy expression did not answer positively, but whispered to himself: "The Death Tribe has developed rapidly in recent years, entangled with death row prisoners, robbers, and capable people in the rivers and lakes, and its combat power is very strong, and there have been many mysterious beasts joining in recent years. With the strength of one of our fiefdoms...... , a little helpless. Grandson, too, did his best, but ......"

Li Xiang understood his grandfather's absolute loyalty to the empire, and did not say a word of comfort to the "injured" grandson, and the first sentence actually asked about the princess's safety. If you answer directly, you can imagine the stimulation of this grandfather. He didn't answer directly, not only because he felt sorry for his grandfather, but also because he was dissatisfied with it. On the contrary, his performance was naturally revealed, and his authenticity and credibility suddenly increased by a few points.

An official said with a sympathetic face: "In order to save the princess and his beloved wife, Master Ma fought bloodily, seriously injured several places, and was hit by an arrow in his left arm. He has done his best, Prime Minister, don't blame him too much. ”

Li Benchu was choked again when he heard this, and for a long time, "Beloved wife, do you mean that Rao Zhi was also ...... Wow!"

Seeing Li Benchu spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, Li Xiang lowered his head and wept silently. This time, he really didn't expect that the official would open the ** fierce material without any taboos, which directly stimulated his grandfather to vomit blood. Li Xiang really felt the sadness in his grandfather's heart this time.

However, as the saying goes, there is no turning back when you open a bow!

Even if he felt guilty about his grandfather, he had to keep acting.

Li Benchu was angry, vomiting blood, everyone and the imperial doctor were in a hurry, Li Benchu waved his hand, signaling that it was not in the way, after a long time, he looked at Li Xiang who was depressed on the side, and asked softly and weakly: "You, are you okay?"

Li Xiang's heart was sour, and he persuaded: "Even if my grandson dies in battle, I must save the princess and Raozhi, please rest assured grandfather." Grandfather, you can recuperate with peace of mind, these are all the best imperial doctors arranged by your grandson, and your grandson has deployed heavy troops to protect you, please don't worry. Ladies and gentlemen, I'll leave it to you and wait here, and we'll continue to hunt down the enemy. ”

Li Xiang sighed, turned around and left. Seeing his grandfather, who had loved him since childhood, take a hit, he feared that he would go crazy if he continued to stay here.

Li Benchu called out to Li Xiang, "You go to Shu and ask the clan to send troops to support, and I will give you a few words." Hurry up!"

Li Xiang showed an uneasy expression and snorted: "The first time the book was intercepted by the enemy, and now several people are sent to deliver it. ”

An official suddenly realized: "No wonder we encountered an enemy attack on the way to the fiefdom, and it turned out that the enemy had already deployed troops along the way......"

Li Benchu frowned, "How many soldiers and horses does the enemy have?"

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, he didn't have enough experience in warfare, and if he answered 100,000, he didn't know if he would show his feet in front of Li Benchu, who had rich experience in commanding the three armies.

Li Xiang stroked his forehead to hide his momentary embarrassment.

Gu Ou hurriedly supported the crumbling Li Xiang and said, "Prime Minister, Master Ma is seriously injured and has lost too much blood, please allow him to go back and rest for a while before coming to report the battle situation, okay?"

Li Benchu looked at his pale grandson, and suddenly felt ashamed, patronizing the war, but forgetting the seriously injured grandson, he waved his hand, "Go." The imperial doctor is going quickly, you have to come and report the injury of the horse master at any time. ”

Gu Ou agreed repeatedly, and helped the "weak" Li Xiang to slowly retreat.

In order to appease Li Benchu, the remaining ministers of the observation group all talked about the "war situation" described by Li Xiang, and some even added fuel and vinegar to describe the tragic situation of the war.

Li Li is also Li Benchu's grandson, although Li Benchu never let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, his colleagues have reported that they have taken great care of the old prime minister's face, and when they talk about "how the death tribe is rampant" and other content, it still makes Li Benchu's old face red and white for a while, which is extremely embarrassing.

The Death Tribe led by Li Li is really too arrogant! Too inhumane!

After being depressed for a while, Li Benchu suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Zhou Dong!"

Someone immediately replied in the darkness: "My lord, Zhou Dong has gone on a mission." What do you command?"

Li Benchu stroked his splitting head and said dejectedly: "He hasn't seen the corpse of Zhou Shu yet, right?" Alas, as soon as he comes back, you have to report it immediately, I ...... it."

Zhou Shu and Zhou Dong are twin brothers, they have followed Li Benchu since they were young, and they are even more loyal to this prime minister who loves soldiers like children. If Zhou Dong saw his brother lying on the straw mat with no breath, he would definitely be heartbroken. This is something Li Benchu does not want to see.

Bad news followed, Li Benchu was haggard, almost unable to support his weak body, this old general who had worried about the country all his life, the prime minister, was stimulated repeatedly and couldn't afford to fall ill.

……

Li Xiang fled in a hurry and left the Invitation Moon Palace, where the officials temporarily lived, and returned to the Huoyun Palace where he lived.

Even so, his heart was still panicked.

After a long time, Li Xiang concealed his uncomfortable emotions, and he praised without words: "Thanks to your resourcefulness, you pulled me out of the land of tigers and wolves! Grandfather is an old man, he led the troops to fight and made a lot of meritorious contributions when he was young, and he returned to the court to command hundreds of officials, take charge of government affairs, and be familiar with every detail. If he were to continue to ask me like this, my answer would be full of flaws. Also, those who follow him are all experienced people, and any mistake or omission will be lost. ”

Gu Ou said a few words modestly, and said: "It's good that you still rarely see them, if you accidentally say the wrong thing, it will be difficult to cover up all this." Now appease the Prime Minister and hurry back to the court, don't hinder you from doing great things here. The subordinates thought that because of the death of Princess Jinzhu, the empire would definitely send troops to support, and when the time came, if you reorganized these reinforcements, the strength in your hands would increase greatly in the short term, and you would not have to rely on the side of the Xuan Beast Clan for everything. ”

Hearing this, Li Xiang's eyes narrowed, "Do you realize that as soon as the reinforcements arrive, you can seize their military power?"

Gu Ou said with a smile: "Kill some disobedient people, just say that the enemy army hijacked the commander, and the rest of the headless soldiers will naturally be meek and meek." In the future, you can slowly integrate them and disperse them, and the original group of officials in the fiefdom who are stabbing their heads can be subdued, and these soldiers are not a problem. The reorganization of the remnants of the army has always been a common practice, and the ethnic group still does not suspect it. Over time, the original strength of the fiefdom, plus the recruited troops, will hold on to this small land, why worry, and even, after it grows stronger in the future, it will be able to confront the empire, and there is no need to worry about big things!"

Li Xiang nodded, "Last time, because of the matter of Princess Jinzhu and the Gate of Hell, the Xuan Beast Clan was very dissatisfied with me, and that Elder Bear and Elder Scar threatened me many times, and I was still holding my breath." If you can grow and grow, it will be a very important move. Quick, tell the king about the vision. ”

Gu Ou took out the map and described in detail the next deployment he was considering. Li Xiang listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and added his thoughts from time to time, and when Gu Ou finished speaking, it was already time to hold the lamp.
