Chapter 45: Arrest Him in Prison
Li Guangbi's chest unconsciously swelled with anger, Li An blocked the way to provoke him, but he also felt very puzzled, why Li An deliberately let go of the Fan army, what was the inside story here.
Halfway up the mountainside on both sides of the valley, there were flags of the Hengye Army, which made Li Guangbi believe that as long as he dared to lead his troops to break through, there would be no return.
"General, since it is the order of the marshal, we must not disobey."
Li Guangbi frowned and glanced at his generals, and scolded: "Marshal Jie asked our army to pursue the remnants of the Tibetan army with all his might, how could he give such an order?" ”
Having worked under Wang Zhongsi for many years, Li Guangbi can be said to know Wang Zhongsi very well, and he saw through Ang Lee's lies at a glance.
"General, if Li Shaolang refuses to back down, our army will really not be able to pass."
Li Guangbi nodded lightly and said with a wry smile: "This Li Shaolang is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know who he is after winning a few battles, and he really lives up to the expectations of the marshal." ”
"General, since this is already the case, then we."
Li Guangbi looked up at Li An and said loudly: "Li Shaolang and Fan Jun are really good friends?" After speaking, he looked at his subordinates behind him and shouted, "Withdraw the army." ”
"Driving ......"
Under the leadership of Li Guangbi, a thousand Tang soldiers rode horses and left the valley.
Li An looked at the backs of these Tang Jun leaving, and sighed heavily, this time, he really felt that he had played big, but in order to get back the young shoots, he had no hesitation.
"Big brother, you are a fake military order, if Li Guangbi tells the marshal, how should you explain it."
Li An sighed and said helplessly: "For the sake of the young sprouts, where does the eldest brother have a choice, it's a big deal to bear the guilt, you don't have to worry, my uncle will forgive me." ”
Although he doesn't know much about Wang Zhongsi, Li An believes that Wang Zhongsi, as a party temperance envoy, must have a lot of mind and bearing, and it is impossible to punish himself for such a trivial matter, and he is not a real soldier, so it would be good to criticize and educate him.
"Big brother, what should we do now, just go back?"
Li An nodded and said softly: "Naturally, I want to go back and ask Wang Jieshuai for guilt, so that the warriors can gather immediately." ”
###
In the mansion of Zhang Qiqiu in Anbian City, Wang Zhongsi knelt in the main hall, and Zhang Qiqiu, Guo Ziyi, Ge Shuhan, An Chongzhang, Li Guangbi and other generals were all in the ranks.
When reporting the results of the battle, Li Guangbi told Wang Zhongsi all the things about Li An's false order to let go of the remnants of the Tibetan army.
Upon learning of this, not only Wang Zhongsi was greatly surprised, but Guo Ziyi, Zhang Qiqiu and others were also all confused, Li An spared no effort in attacking the Tibetan army, three hundred broke five thousand, and the Tibetan army suffered heavy losses, how could such a person deliberately let go of the remnants of the Tibetan army, and also pretended to give an order to stop the Tang cavalry from pursuing? Everyone can't figure it out.
"What the hell is this kid doing?" Wang Zhongsi's words revealed a hint of anger.
"If a young man is ambitious, it is inevitable that he will be a little frivolous, and he will be handsome and angry."
Zhang Qiqiu hurriedly explained and pleaded for Li An.
Wang Zhonghe's anger did not improve in the slightest, and he reprimanded loudly: "It really disappoints me to let go of the remnants of the Tibetan army for no reason, and to pretend to pass on the generals, which is a capital crime." ”
At this moment, Wang Zhongsi has a feeling of hating iron and steel, Li An has already shown extraordinary talent, but he doesn't know the height of the sky, and he dares to fake his orders, this is not a trivial matter, the battlefield is a matter of life and death, if this kind of thing is a habit, the consequences are unimaginable.
Seeing that Wang Zhongji was furious, Guo Ziyi and Zhang Qiqiu glanced at each other, and hurriedly pleaded with their heads and said: "Jieshuai, Li An will never do these things for no reason, there must be a compelling reason for this, it is better to wait for him to come back and ask clearly." ”
"Yes! Jie Shuai, Li An has made great achievements in defending Anbian City, he is not a foolish person, he must have a last resort. Zhang Qiqiu followed to explain to Li An.
Wang Zhongsi waved his hand and said: "No matter what the reason, you can't fake the commander's order, this is a taboo in the army, don't you know, this kid is too young, I don't know how thick the sky is." ”
Guo Ziyi heard Wang Zhonghe's anger, and there was a sense of hatred that iron does not become steel, so he followed Wang Zhongsi and persuaded him: "What the marshal said is extremely true, Li Shaolang is too young, arrogant and ignorant of military regulations, but the so-called jade is not cut into a tool, such talented talents should be honed well, otherwise, a piece of jade will be reduced to a waste stone, so it is a pity." ”
When these words came to Wang Zhonghe's heart, he nodded approvingly, and said with a straight face: "General Guo is right, Li An is a piece of jade that is not polished, it must be carved well, and he must not be allowed to be abolished." ”
"Report, Jieshuai, Li Shaolang asks to see."
When Wang Zhongsi heard this, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and ordered: "Arrest him in prison and lock him up for three days first." ”
"Yes, Jie Shuai."
Zhang Qiqiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Jie Shuai, don't you ask Li Shaolang first, why did you want to let go of the remnants of the Fan Army?" ”
Wang Zhongsi waved his hand and said: "This kid doesn't know how thick the sky is, he has to be closed for a while to polish his arrogance, if there is any reason, I will ask later." ”
Seeing this, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi and other generals all nodded in approval, in their opinion, a young man like Li An who does not know the height of the sky should be well organized, let him understand that the army is serious and disciplined, and it is not just what you want.
"Report, Jieshuai, Li Kunxiong, Li Feiyu, Li Fei Shouyu, and Zhang Erniu, kneeling outside to plead."
When Wang Zhongsi heard this, he grinned, looked at the generals, and said loudly: "Look at it, this kid is quite capable, he has a bunch of dead friends at a young age, and these boys are also bold, they dare to blackmail Ben Shuai, come to someone, press them all into prison, and let the five of them reunite in prison." ”
"Yes, Jie Shuai."
Wang Zhonghei pressed all five Li An into prison, this practice was unanimously approved by all the generals, although Li An committed a capital crime and should be beheaded, but at this moment Li An is not a soldier, and he does not understand military regulations, so he can naturally be dealt with lightly, and everyone appreciates Li An's talent, if it is beheaded like this, it is really a pity, and it is human instinct to cherish each other.
####
In the prison of Anbian City, Li An was pressed into a vacant cell, because he had done something wrong, Li An seemed very calm, without the slightest resistance, in his opinion, Wang Zhongji was just angry for a while, and he would soon be released.
"Hurry up, let's all go in."
With the jailer's reprimand, Li Fei Shouyu, Li Kunxiong, Li Feiyu, and Zhang Erniu all entered the cell and were locked up in the same room as Li An.
"Shouyu, Kunxiong, Feiyu, Erniu, why did you all come in?"
Li An's expression was surprised, but if he thought about it carefully, these people were his good brothers, and seeing that he was imprisoned, he would inevitably intercede for himself, so he came in.
"Big brother, it must be the case that Li Guangbi sued, and the eldest brother who was killed was arrested and put in prison."
There was a hint of anger in Li Kunxiong's tone.
Li An smiled lightly: "Li Guangbi didn't do anything wrong, it was indeed the eldest brother who let go of the Fan army, and he should bear the necessary responsibility." ”
"Big brother, but the handsome man didn't ask, and directly put you in prison, what does this mean?"
Li An said softly: "The eldest brother let go of the remnants of the Tibetan army, there are all big officials, if my uncle doesn't lose his temper, how can I explain it to my subordinates, but you don't have to worry, if my uncle is held accountable, I will bear all the charges." ”
"Big brother, what is this, if there is a crime, we will bear it together."
"Yes, if there is any crime, our brothers will carry it together."
Seeing that the brothers were willing to share the crime with him, Li An's heart swelled with a sense of comfort, there were several good brothers who helped him with all their might, and he was afraid that he would not be able to mix in the Tang Dynasty.
The environment of the prison is not very good, the light is very dim, and there is a bad smell, which makes people very uncomfortable to stay in it, of course, this is a cell after all, if it is very comfortable and comfortable, it will not become a guest house.
Li An found a fairly clean place, crossed his legs and closed his eyes to recuperate, and pondered when Wang Zhongji would summon him, while Li Fei Shouyu lay on the haystack with his hands on his pillows, and looked boredly at the top of the cell.
Zhang Erniu held the fence of the cell with both hands, looking longing from time to time, next to Li Feiyu leaning on the fence, while Li Kunxiong was pacing back and forth in the cell, looking a little anxious.
A whole day passed, and apart from a few shoddy meals from the cell boss, no one came to the cell, let alone a trace of Wang Zhonghei.
This made Li An's heart a little impatient, after all, it has been a day since the incident, and Wang Zhonghe's anger should also disappear, he should always see himself and ask the reason!
Li Kunxiong and Zhang Erniu were even more anxious pacing back and forth, scolding a few words outside the cell from time to time to vent the anger in their hearts, and even Li Fei Shouyu and Li Feiyu, who had always been relatively calm, were anxious, after all, people always feel uncomfortable when their freedom is restricted, and the environment in the cell is too poor, even if the person with extremely high cultivation will become short-tempered when he is in the cell.
"Big brother, what does Wang Zhongsi mean, if you want to kill or chop, you will have a good time."
Li Kunxiong was furious and called Wang Zhonghe's name.
Li An forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and reprimanded: "Kunxiong, it's only been a day, and you are in a hurry like this." ”
Li Kunxiong was unhappy and found a random place to sit down.
"Let's go inside!"
With a shout from the jailer, a young man with a basket walked in.
"Zhang Guangsheng, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Erniu glared at the visitor, with anger in his tone, and the expressions of Kunxiong and Feiyu were also very unfriendly.
When Ang Lee was arrested and put in prison, all four of them interceded for Ang Lee, but Zhang Guangsheng did not.
Previously, the six of them had fought side by side together, which was a good comrade-in-arms, and Ang Lee also saved Zhang Guangsheng's life, so Zhang Guangsheng's self-preservation behavior seemed a bit selfish and unpleasant.
