Chapter 153 Minzhou Old Service
He didn't hide it at this time, and the eyes of King Chong were darker, and the wine glass that stopped at his lips had been put down by King Chong, and the wine glass placed on the table made a crisp sound, and after a pause, King Chong said: "Bayi and Minzhou are separated by more than 600 miles, Your Majesty ordered me to garrison Bayi, how can I taste this spicy wine in Minzhou?" ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw that Li Han was a little confused, and when he looked at King Chong in some confusion, he frowned and then looked at King Chong. First frowned, then lightly pouted, and after some confusion, Lihan said: "It's not right, if I remember correctly, the fifth brother should have been to Minzhou." Although this word was not loud, it was a word that entered the ears of King Chong, and the Meiyu Shuangfeng also frowned a little because of Li Han's words, and King Chong responded.
"Really? Have I been to Minzhou? Why did you lose your impression? After the words, I saw that Lihan's eyes were even more confused, and it was when I frowned and thought about it, and suddenly the eyebrows were loosened, and the loose eyebrows and bright eyes were bright. After his eyes lit up, he smiled and returned to his eyes, and Li Han said: "Look at my memory with the fifth brother, I can't remember it for a while, four years ago, Zhao Guo raised troops to invade the border of Jiang Guo and Minzhou, and at the time of crisis, it was not the fifth brother who led the Ba Yi soldiers to Minzhou to resist foreign enemies and protect the peace of my Jiang country." ”
King Chong remembered this kind of thing, but he didn't want to mention it, and now that Li Han remembered it, he couldn't refute it, so he immediately responded and said: "Saying this, coming to this is just an old battle four years ago, and Minzhou is not where I am stationed, so I forgot it." ”
As long as his mind is on Ba Yi, as for the side, why should he take everything to heart if he is not his own duty. It is for this reason that the words of the king are not light or heavy. Things that are not my own duty do not need to be remembered in every single thing at the tip of my heart at the moment Li Han also nodded clearly and then said.
"The fifth brother is right, the fifth brother is the general stationed in Bayi, although this Minzhou and Bayi are the border of Jiangguo, but after all, there is still a distance of more than 600 miles, and the matter of Minzhou is not the responsibility of the fifth brother." Ying nodded and said. Li Han's words were not loud, and the small and fragmented voice sounded more like thinking about something. After such a small whisper, Li Han suddenly looked back at King Chong, and then said.
"The battle of Minzhou is not the responsibility of the fifth brother. Back then, Zhao sent troops to the border of my Jiang State, if the ninth brother is not mistaken, it was the auxiliary general who led the troops to meet the battle at that time. ”
At that time, it was the general of the auxiliary country who led the troops to meet the attacker, and after hearing Lihan's inquiry, King Chong didn't say much, but nodded and responded: "At that time, the general who led the army was the general of the auxiliary country." It was the generals and Zhao Guo who fought fiercely for several months, and the war dragged on for so long that it was wrong to enter the cold winter at the wrong time, and the soldiers could not stand the biting cold winter and were defeated repeatedly. At that time, after receiving the 800-mile rush of His Majesty, we led the Bayi soldiers to Minzhou to help the auxiliary general attack Zhao Guo to quell the rebellion in Minzhou. ”
The old war in Minzhou was very long, in the autumn of the year, Zhao Guo came to attack the generals to meet the battle, all the way to resist was to drag the war into the deep winter, because it was not prepared enough cold cotton clothes, the soldiers could not resist the cold winter so the road was defeated, if it was not for Liqing immediately ordered King Chong to lead troops to reinforce. In the realm of Minzhou, hundreds of cities are afraid to fall into the hands of Zhao State.
Millions on the battlefield, the war is inevitable to drag on, Zhao State is fully prepared to suddenly attack, because it is not even prepared to delay the war is also reasonable, at that time Liqing also understood the root cause of the defeat of the auxiliary general.
Even Liqing pardoned his defeat in battle, it stands to reason that this old service in Minzhou should be implicit, but now the old service is recalled, but Lihan's meaning is not simple. Listening to King Chong's words, Li Han nodded in agreement, but frowned again after agreeing. First squinted slightly, and then said "Huh", Lihan said.
"That's true, but why do I always feel that it's not right?" There was something wrong with these words, and after hearing it, even Chongwang's words sank. With a low voice and scrutinizing eyes, King Chong said, "What's wrong? After inquiry, Lihan replied.
"Although I am not good at leading troops to fight, I have recently read some military books with interest, and the military books say that winning more with less is not the way to use soldiers. More people than less is the side. Although the ambition of this Zhao State has long been premeditated, our country has never slackened in military affairs, and even the Ministry of the Auxiliary General is also 100,000. Although the number of these 100,000 soldiers against the 150,000 army of Zhao State is not as high, I also carefully investigated a lot of that battle back then. The realm of Minzhou is mostly mountains and forests, and the mountains and forests are natural screens, and the advantage in numbers cannot play much in such a battlefield. In addition, the auxiliary general is a good hand in the battle of mountains and forests, even if the number is less than 50,000, but it is not difficult to defeat the Zhao army according to the ability of the auxiliary general, and it is even more inappropriate to fall to the point where the whole army is defeated and finally needs to seek reinforcements from the fifth brother. ”
Since he can become Jiang Guozheng's second-grade auxiliary general, he has the ability that others can't match, and the auxiliary general is the best at the battle of mountains and forests, and it is with this ability that he won the trust of Liqing and won the title of this auxiliary general. As Li Han said, with the ability of the auxiliary general, he should not be defeated in such a situation, but the things on this battlefield should not be balanced. When he saw Lihan, King Chong said.
"The war is changing rapidly, even if the number of people is several times greater than the enemy, there is a possibility of defeat, not to mention that the Zhao army has been planning for a long time to attack, and it is understandable that the auxiliary general is defeated." As soon as the words fell, Li Han looked at him with his eyes, and then said, "But so? The words fell clearly to see King Chong's eyes, when he was smiling at Shang Lihan's eyes, King Chong said: "What do you mean by this? ”
The words that were hidden were not like the words that should be spoken between the siblings, even after King Chong's inquiry, Li Han also smiled, sighed directly and then leaned on his body, Li Han responded: "The fifth brother asked this, it seems that what can I mean?" I don't have this meaning, that is, the fifth brother should be clear-minded, what did the auxiliary generals mean when they were defeated in the old battle of Minzhou? ”
At that time, it was King Chong who raised troops to reinforce the battle, and the auxiliary generals did not win the battle for several months, and it took less than a month for King Chong to raise troops to reinforce and make the Zhao army retreat and surrender. Although Chongwang's troops stationed in Bayi are accustomed to the cold wind and winter, this quick battle and quick decision makes people have to be careful.
Should the battle of the auxiliary general really drag on for so long?
At that time, I am afraid that only the reinforced King Chongwang knows best, and Li Han now inquired about it, but he just brought this unreasonable confusion back to the table.
He was questioning, and Li Han was questioning at this time, and he knew that Li Han's trip was not just for the three sets of ducks, and he took the opportunity to invite Tongyang to leave and also had a plan, and it was clear that King Chong's heart was already clear but he didn't reply, so he stared at Li Han. After a while, King Chong asked: "You are the most idle, how can you be interested in the art of war now, and even the old service four years ago should be explored?" ”
After the inquiry, he saw Lihan and replied: "It's one thing to be idle and wild cranes, but as a royal clansman, you should learn from Qingming and have no cliffs." It is necessary to keep growth in mind at all times in order to be worthy of the teachings of the emperor. ”
Li Han's words are good, but King Chong doesn't eat him there, but when he heard Li Han's reply, King Chong sneered. Directly snorted and laughed, King Chong cut straight into the Lord and said, "Don't fight these imaginary ones with me." What kind of temperament you are, I don't understand? Let's say, I asked what happened to the old Minzhou military station four years ago? But His Majesty ordered you to inquire? ”
I've been at the border for a long time, and I'm talking a lot straighter than before, although the old service in Minzhou is an old thing four years ago, but I'm afraid that only the current saint will be interested in this old thing. At this time, King Chong had already recognized it in his heart, so he asked directly, but in the face of his direct inquiry, Li Han only smiled back.
Shaking his head and sighing, there was a big mistake in his words, and after sighing, Li Han said, "My temperament? The fifth brother knows, so obviously the fifth brother also knows the temperament of the royal brother. The royal brother has always favored me the most, and he is not willing to let me work for the sake of state affairs, I just hope that I can be an idle prince, the fifth brother thinks that if the old service of Minzhou is confused in the heart of the imperial brother, will I come to inquire? ”
Inquiry, is to participate in national politics, and if you participate in national politics, you will no longer be the prince who has no other heart, don't say that people like Liqing will not do such a thing, even Lihan will not let himself get involved in the political situation.
These two people are his siblings, just like Lihan said. The temperament of these two people is clear, that is, after saying that the Qing is called Lihan, King Chong also believes that the person who wants to investigate the old service in Minzhou is not the current saint.
It's Lihan.
Perhaps it should not be said that it is a cha, but it is more appropriate to say that it is a simple rise. There was no clue in his eyes, King Chong looked at Li Han and said, "Minzhou old service, why do you care so much? ”
"The reason why I care so much is because of you, fifth brother."
"Because of me?" Li Han's words were really becoming more and more incomprehensible, and his face had completely sunk, and King Chong asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" After inquiry, Li Han responded: "A place like Bayi is not a place where the royal family should go. The fifth brother will be stationed there for so many years, in the final analysis, is it not because of the auxiliary general? This has been going for more than ten years, not to mention the suffering of the fifth brother over the years, even the imperial sister is also thinking and crying all day long. Hearing Li Han mention the same, King Chong suddenly closed his voice, and saw that King Chong looked at the side with wrong eyes, and Li Han continued.
"How can the royal family's face be trampled on by just the courtiers, the fifth brother has endured for so many years for the sake of Jiang Guo, and now it is time to remove this disaster. The auxiliary general does have merit in Jiang Guo, but no matter how high the merit is, it is not above the royal family, the imperial brother is ruthless and the courtiers are ruthless, but we can't let them trample on it at will, the auxiliary general does have a lot of power, but this power is also the trend of the past. Four years ago, the old Minzhou auxiliary generals were able to lose more than half, even if they reorganized their wings, they could not return to the past, and in the past two years, the Criminal Department of Shangshu investigated and dealt with corruption, and he was suspected of several soldiers, and now the auxiliary generals are just an empty shelf left, and they no longer have the power and deterrence of the year. Now that such a good opportunity, the fifth brother has never thought of repaying the auxiliary general and relieving his anger over the years? ”
Anyway? He is the heir of the royal family after all, and the arrogance in his bones is far better than ordinary people, because of the high merits of the auxiliary general, he had to suffer humiliation and garrison Bayi, even if he was willing to worship the king, but the humiliation and indignation in his bones could not be eliminated. The auxiliary general, after all, has such a grudge with him, even if more than ten years have passed, it will not be resolved.
Li Han Chongwang should have heard this, but the words entered his ears, but he should also carefully probe Li Han's thoughts, the smile has long disappeared in the corners of his lips and eyes, looking at Li Han, Chongwang said: "Are you complaining about me?" After speaking, Lihan replied: "Yes." After returning to the post, King Chong responded: "More than ten years ago, I was ordered to be stationed in Bayi, but I have never seen you ask for a word of affection for me at that time, how can I have more heart for me now, and the Tao should thank the auxiliary general for the humiliation?" ”
It's been more than ten years since this incident, how could Li Han mention it and spare the old service of Minzhou in everything, how can King Chong not doubt what he knows? Suspicious, that is the instinct of the heirs of the royal family, if it is the person in power or the prince who has nothing to do, even if it is clear that there is no dissenting heart and is only loyal to the saint, there is also a suspicious nature in his bones.
Question. That is inevitable, Li Han has already known it, and he should say: "More than ten years ago, I was only one or twelve tenths, and I have not yet grown up, even if I feel that the fifth brother was wronged at that time, the situation at that time is not to be said. The fifth brother should know this matter better than me. And now the times have long passed, more than ten years is enough to change a long time, and now it is not as good as it used to be. ”
The words are pressed lightly, but every word is unusually clear. It's like telling something. In that way, word by word, when the words were halfway down, it was to welcome King Chong's eyes and concentrate on the convergence, and he looked back and sank into the cold interface.
"Why did the fifth brother hide the truth about the old service in Minzhou back then, to be honest, I don't know, I can't see it, and I don't have that kind of heart to take care of it. But my eyes are not blind, the fifth brother can't see there, but I can see clearly here with the imperial sister. ”
"Tongyang?" I don't know why Lihan mentioned Tongyang again, and Chongwang's heart couldn't help but tug into his chest because of his re-mention. A weakness is a weakness. It is the heroes on the battlefield that make people mention their weaknesses, and they can't help but form a group in their hearts. There was already a question in his eyes, but he was a little more worried, and it was only after seeing the slight change in King Chong's eyes that Li Han continued.
"In the past ten years, you are not the only one who has suffered, the fifth brother, but the imperial sister has also endured it. Even though the imperial sister has always been the most strong and stubborn, but she was born in Kyoto with the imperial sister, and no one is more anxious than me. The royal brother is very fond of the royal sister, but no matter how much he is favored, he can't recover the pain of sibling separation. Fifth brother, do you know how happy the imperial sister is to hear that you can return to the dynasty this time? Suddenly, when I heard it, King Chong was silent, and I didn't know what to say. It was silent in that place, listening to Lihan's mouth.
"After hearing the fifth brother, you can return to the dynasty, and the imperial sister who needs it is all arranged by herself, but she doesn't dare to hand it over to the palace people below. I'm afraid that they will not prepare properly, and you will not be comfortable with the fifth brother. The royal sister thinks of you, misses you, this is a thing that everyone with a discerning eye can see, although the imperial sister is happy now, but the fifth brother will have to return to Ba Yi again, the fifth brother has thought about how the imperial sister should be in her heart when she says goodbye? Ba Yi went to return for ten years. I'm afraid that the next time it should be another ten years, how many decades can there be in life? As long as the auxiliary general is still in the fifth brother, the imperial brother will inevitably take care of the auxiliary general and Concubine Hou Xian, and it will be the imperial sister who will be uncomfortable after all. ”
Even if the face is strong, there is a soft side in her heart, and Tongyang is the weakness of Chongwang, just as Chongwang is the deepest untouchable place in Tongyang's heart. The blood of compatriots, everything cannot be surpassed, and the concern for each other is also the concern for a lifetime.
Even if he has suffered all kinds of grievances, he will grit his teeth and pass, but if he looks at his weakness, he will cry after being strong.
King Chong's heart is bleeding.
It was a sudden silence in the dormitory, King Chong was speechless, Lihan was also speechless, and Tongyang stepped into the hall under such a strange quiet. As soon as he entered the hall, he felt that something was wrong in the hall, and he hurriedly walked a few steps and then entered the seat, Tongyang smiled: "What is this?" But go down to the small kitchen and take a look, how come back the hall is gloomy, can you say anything more? ”
After seeing Tongyang enter the palace and inquire, Li Hanfang was face was calm, and then looked at Tongyang and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, I just accidentally mentioned the sixth brother when I chatted with the fifth brother in detail, so it was cold." ”
"What Sixth Brother? It's just a rebel and a thief. Hearing that Lihan mentioned King Nan, Tongyang's face immediately sank, and he said with disdain: "The imperial brother treats him so well, but he has a bad intention to usurp the throne, and he doesn't look at whether he has such a ability?" It's just that he has gained a little strength, but he dares to think like this. ”
The crime of conspiring against Nanwang for attempting to rebel is obviously deserving for many people, and it is also because of the mention of Nanwang's matter that makes Tongyang unhappy, Li Han hurriedly said: "Don't mention this matter, by the way, Sister Huang, my three sets of ducks are good." ”
When Tongyang entered the hall, he smelled the extremely fresh fragrance coming from the cup served by the palace maid behind him, and now he was full of gluttonous insects, but he couldn't bear it. Seeing that Lihan was anxiously inquiring, Tongyang didn't want to think about the unhappy thing anymore, so he ordered the palace maid behind him to serve the soup and then said: "This is all like a child when he is old, even if he responds to you, he will not break his promise, taste it." ”
The soup was served to the table, Li Han couldn't bear it, opened the cup and took a sip, and then sighed: "It's really right to rush over, the imperial sister's craftsmanship should catch up with the cook, and it's hard to smell that the fifth brother has been learning this set of soup for a long time since he returned to the court, which is the wild duck and vegetable pigeon, and the pile is so good that the food bureau can't finish it." ”
Li Han's words were also a little ridiculous, and he was annoyed by Tongyang at the moment, and he stretched out his hand to screw his mouth, and said while feigning anger: "You bastard, the soup just out of the soup can't stop your mouth, drink your soup carefully, and I will twist your mouth carefully in your mouth." ”
Tongyang threatened Lihan to beg for mercy, and Chongwangfu on the side took a glass of wine again, but he didn't know what to think about while sipping the wine. (To be continued.) )
