Chapter 370: Night Visit to Wang Xiaojie
Now that Lu Xiaoxian came to the door in person, Wang Xiaojie certainly can't give up this opportunity to discuss. He resisted the urge to greet Lu Xiaoxian in person, sat quietly in front of the desk, and waited for Lu Xiaoxian to arrive.
Entering Wang Xiaojie's study, Lu Xiaoxian saw the eye-catching picture on the case at a glance, smiled and said with a pun: "General Wang, you haven't rested so late, are you also insomnia?" ”
"Don't mention General Wang, that's all in the past!" Wang Xiaojie responded lightly: "Mr. Lu is a distinguished guest, I am an idler now, I have time to rest, don't rush this time!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian quipped: "I knew that with General Wang's temperament, he would definitely not be able to let go of the crisis in Yingzhou!" ”
Wang Xiaojie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Lu Gongzi smiled, the habit he has developed over the years, whenever there is a war in the imperial court, he must always care about it!" ”
"General Wang is worried about the country and the people, and he admires it so much!" Lu Xiaoxian changed the topic and asked bluntly, "I wonder if General Wang has seen something?" ”
Wang Xiaojie glanced at Lu Xiaoxian and muttered, "I think this battle is a little bad!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian clapped his hands and said: "As expected, General Wang is still a sober person in this court!" ”
"I don't know what Lu Gongzi thinks?" Wang Xiaojie's eyes flickered.
"The imperial court will undoubtedly lose this expedition, as for the reasons and reasons, I think what I think should be similar to what General Wang thinks, so I won't repeat it here!" Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian stopped and said with a slight smile, "Three days later, Your Majesty will lead hundreds of civil and military officials to see off the conquest army." When the time comes, I will secretly go to Yingzhou with the army, I don't know what General Wang has to explain? ”
"What do I have to confess? I don't know what Lu Gongzi means by this? Wang Xiaojie asked quietly.
"General Wang really didn't think about it, if this battle is defeated, how will Your Majesty deal with the aftermath?"
After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's questioning, Wang Xiaojie was silent.
"Your Majesty will definitely appoint you to take command and conquer the Khitan again, doesn't General Wang need to understand the process and lessons of this defeat?"
Wang Xiaojie smiled bitterly: "Gongzi Lu wants to be in front of everything, you let me explain to you, it is better to say that you give me an explanation!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian was not polite, and said directly: "After this defeat, I think Your Majesty will learn a lesson, and only send one main general to take command, looking at the generals of the Great Zhou Army, there is no more suitable candidate than your General Wang." Therefore, General Wang's idle days will not be too long. ”
Wang Xiaojie was silent, and after hearing Lu Xiaoxian's words, he was obviously relieved.
"If Your Majesty really asks you to be in charge, I don't know where General Wang should go?"
Wang Xiaojie sighed and said: "At present, the country is in trouble, if Your Majesty uses me, I should serve the country, and it is my duty to do so!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxian remembered that the final outcome of Wang Xiaojie in history was to die in the rebellion in Pingding Yingzhou. Although Lu Xiaoxian knew that he was powerless to change history, he still wanted to make another effort to prevent Wang Xiaojie from dying, after all, his relationship with Wang Xiaojie was quite good.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxian pondered and said, "General Wang, if Your Majesty really asks you to be in charge, can you resign?" ”
"Why is that?" Wang Xiaojie looked surprised.
Lu Xiaoxian didn't know how to answer Wang Xiaojie, he couldn't say that he knew in advance that he would die in this battle, so he let him resign, right?
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiaoxian found a suitable reason, and he said bitterly: "This battle is not only related to how to use troops, but also involves the dispute between Wu and Li in the imperial court, I don't want you to fall into it!" ”
Wang Xiaojie had a straight face and said sonorously: "I'm just a soldier and don't care about the dispute between the courts. The duty of a soldier is to die on the battlefield, if Your Majesty uses me, I should do my best! As for the rest, I want to mix it up! ”
Although he knew that persuasion was also in vain, after listening to Wang Xiaojie's words, Lu Xiaoxian was still a little disappointed.
Since he couldn't stop Wang Xiaojie from taking command, Lu Xiaoxian retreated and said: "Even if General Wang wants to go out in person, the candidate for the commander of the army must be selected!" ”
In real history, when Wang Xiaojie fought a decisive battle with the Khitan, Su Honghui, the head of the rear army, fled in fear of the enemy, causing Wang Xiaojie's reinforcements to be cut off and besieged by the Khitan on the cliff. Although he fought hard, he was finally outnumbered and fell off the cliff and died, and the soldiers of the Tang Army also died. Because of this, Lu Xiaoxian deliberately reminded Wang Xiaojie to seriously choose the commander of the rear army.
After hearing this, Wang Xiaojie showed a smile on his face, and said confidently: "Don't hide it from Lu Gongzi, I have already thought about this matter, if I am in charge, the commander of the rear army will be Su Honghui!" ”
"Who? Su Honghui? Lu Xiaoxian's eyes widened.
Just now, Lu Xiaoxian almost directly made it clear to Wang Xiaojie that whoever he wants to be the commander of the rear army can do it, but he can't let Su Honghui be the commander of the rear army. In history, Wang Xiaojie's death was caused by Su Honghui's fear of the enemy and his flight.
What are you afraid of, Lu Xiaoxian didn't expect Wang Xiaojie to choose Su Honghui as the commander of the rear army, what is this not seeking death?
Looking at Wang Xiaojie, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly felt powerless in his heart. Now, he can only watch Wang Xiaojie go to his death, but there is nothing he can do.
Wang Xiaojie looked at Lu Xiaoxian strangely: "Master Lu, what's wrong?" Any questions? ”
"General Wang, can you tell me why you have to choose him for so many generals in the Great Zhou Army?" Lu Xiaoxian asked with a bitter face.
"Su Honghui is from the official to General Zuo Yulin, and it is more than enough to be the commander of the rear army in terms of qualifications. Back then, when I accompanied Xue Guoshi to conquer the Turks, he served as my deputy. I have always been good friends with Su Honghui, and I have been friends for more than ten years, and his sense of the overall situation and ability to lead troops are relatively strong in the army. ”
Listening to Wang Xiaojie's words, Lu Xiaoxian silently closed his eyes.
The Khitan rebellion in Yingzhou made Lu Xiaoxian feel that it was really difficult to change the direction of history. The decision made by Wang Xiaojie at this moment once again made Lu Xiaoxian realize that the inertia of history is simply not something that can be stopped by individuals.
Lu Xiaoxian came through time, is it because he is a person from the past, so he will not have an impact on the future?
Or maybe he really had an impact on the course of history, but he couldn't detect it. In fact, Lu Xiaoxian has become a part of the current history, and he, like everyone else in this world, is moving forward on the train of history, and will eventually become history.
is like Wang Xiaojie now, who is still alive in front of Lu Xiaoxian, but it won't be long before he becomes a cold corpse.
……
A face full of spring breeze, like a peach with dew in full bloom.
When Shangguan Wan'er, who was dressed in civilian clothes, suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but be stunned.
Shangguan Wan'er's appearance was not unexpected, let
Lu Xiaoxian was surprised by the four men who followed her.
Although two of the young people were also wearing civilian clothes, Lu Xiaoxian recognized them at once: they were Feng Yuanyi and Qin Jun, who had not seen him for many years.
In addition to Feng Yuanyi and Qin Jun, Yang Si and another strange man also stood behind Shangguan Wan.
The smile on Lu Xiaoxian's face was as bright as the rising sun, and he waved towards Shangguan Wan'er: "Shangguan Shanggong is really trustworthy, Lu Mou has thanked him here!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, I have something to tell you later!" Shangguan Wan'er waved her hand and said, "I brought the person, did I give it to you directly, or did you have other arrangements?" ”
"Shangguan Shanggong is so trustworthy, how can I leave regardless of the people?" Lu Xiaoxian said sincerely: "That's it, it's rare that the weather is good today, I'll arrange it, let's go to Cuiyun Peak for a visit, how about it?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Lu Xiaoxian meaningfully: "I didn't expect that Lu Gongzi was still a lover!" Okay, I'll leave it to you! ”
Feng Man became a Taoist aunt in Shangqing Palace, and Shangguan Wan'er also knew about it.
Lu Xiaoxian said that he was going to Cuiyun Peak for a trip, but in fact, he wanted to take Feng Yuanyi to see Feng Man, and Shangguan Wan'er naturally knew this.
"Brother Yang, it's rare that you are free, so let's go together!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said to Yang Si behind Shangguan Wan'er.
Yang Si glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, then nodded at Lu Xiaoxian and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian glanced at the middle-aged man beside Yang Si, and asked Yang Si, "Brother Yang, I don't know if this is ......?"
Without waiting for Yang Si to answer, Shangguan Wan'er preemptively said: "This is Lord Zhang, the left supplement of the subordinate province!" ”
Zhang said?
Lu Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows, this is also a bull in the future.
Zhang Shuo was named Yan Guogong, three times before and after, in charge of the literary world for 30 years, for the early Kaiyuan generation of Wenzong, and Xu Guogong Su Ying is equally famous, known as "Yan Xu's big hand".
However, at this time, Zhang said that he was not inconspicuous, but only a left supplement from the seventh grade.
Shangguan Wan'er brought Zhang Shuo to come, and Lu Xiaoxian guessed that it must have something to do with what Shangguan Wan'er was going to say about him.
"I've seen Gongzi Lu!" Zhang said that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and greeted Lu Xiaoxian indifferently.
Lu Xiaoxian also saluted: "In the first year of Yongchang, His Majesty personally held the subject examination, and Lord Zhang's strategy ranked first. His Majesty personally appointed Master Zhang as the prince's school secretary, and the current Zuo Buque! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! ”
Lu Xiaoxian said that he admired for a long time, but there was no admiration on his face.
However, Lu Xiaoxian had never seen Zhang Shuo, but he was able to tell Zhang Shuo's situation with his mouth open, not only Shangguan Wan'er, but even Zhang Shuo himself was surprised.
……
The holy trace of the fairy trail Cuiyun Peak, purple qi shrouded the Shangqing Palace.
A group of six people came to the Shangqing Palace on Cuiyun Peak in Pishan Mountain. Lu Xiaoxian first sent Feng Yuanyi to Feng Man's residence, so that their sister and brother could talk.
Seeing this vacancy, Lu Xiaoxian led Shangguan Wan'er, Yang Si, Zhang Shuo, and Qin Jun around the main hall and came directly to Cuiyun Cave.
Where they were, it looked like it had been dilapidated for a long time, and the vegetation was very prosperous, because it had never been tended, and it grew on its own.
Cuiyun Cave is the highest point of Pi Mountain, and it is also the best place to look at the "Evening View of Pi Mountain" in the eight major views of Luoyang. At this moment, the weather is fine, you can overlook Longmen Mountain in the distance, and you can overlook Luoyang City in the near distance, which makes people feel that the vision is far and wide, and the mind is open.
