Chapter 335: The Final Arrangement
Two stools were placed on the side of the bed, Han Qi and Gao Xiangsheng sat in front of the bed, Gao Xiangsheng was a little panicked, but Han Qi's eyes were full of sadness.
A guard came over with a bowl of medicinal soup, Han Qi took the soup bowl, sat on the edge of the bed, tasted the temperature, and scooped a spoonful to feed Gao Yu himself.
Gao Yu smiled and took the soup bowl from Han Qi's hand, "Although I know it's useless, I can't always brush the hearts of the people below." ”
As soon as these words came out, Han Qi didn't turn his head, he actually shed tears. Seeing Gao Xiangsheng was shocked, Gao Yu's situation seemed to be really bad.
Gao Biao didn't seem to care, holding the bowl, grunting straight into the stomach, halfway through the drink, the whole person was a meal, and then his mouth opened, and a mouth full of decoction squirted out, wetting all the thin quilts on his body, Gao Xiangsheng stood up, because he saw that the thin quilt was stained not only with yellow-black medicinal soup, but also with red blood.
"Gao Shuai, you ...... You, you, you......" He was almost speechless.
Gao Biao smiled and wiped a handful of the decoction and blood on his lips and beard, and even raised the bowl to swallow the small half bowl of decoction with blood, then put the bowl aside, looked at Gao Xiangsheng and said: "I am indeed hard to get up, this is really not a scam as you think." I don't have more than a few days to live! ”
Gao Xiangsheng sat down on the stool with a thud, his hands clenched into fists, his face was bruised, the best he hoped for was not possible after all, and the last thing he wanted to see was alive in front of him.
"Gao Shuai is the pillar of the country, how can he die!" He muttered.
Gao Yu smiled and said, "Who has not died since ancient times!" General Gao, there is Gao, this world is like this, without Gao, the sun will still rise as usual tomorrow, and there will be no change. ”
Gao Xiangsheng lowered his head and whimpered: "The building was about to collapse, and now it has been removed from the top beams, what should I do next?" Gao Shuai, what should I do? ”
Gao Biao sighed, "Gao Xiangsheng, Gao has been running around for the court all his life, and he has done his best, but the general trend of the world is not something that I can control as a martial artist after all, and I am not even a pastemaker, because I am simply unable to repair Datang's body full of holes, in my life, at most I am a fireman, extinguishing fires everywhere, but extinguishing here, there is up again, and in the end, I still watch the smoke rise and am helpless, so ah, you say that I am the stock of the country, I deserve it. ”
"Handsome!" Gao Xiangsheng's eyes were red.
Gao Yu waved his hand, "You don't have to put gold on my face, this is the conclusion I came to after thinking about my life after I knew that I was going to die." Okay, let's not talk about all this nonsense, let's get down to business. ”
"What do you command?" Gao Xiangsheng sat up straight all of a sudden, looking at this appearance, it was almost Gao Yu's last entrustment, and he couldn't help but put away his sad mood and play a twelve-point love spirit.
"Let's talk about the court first!" Gao Biao leaned back on the pillow, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to have returned to Chang'an: "After I die, Hedong Jiezhen will inevitably fall apart, and it can no longer be a barrier for the imperial court, but I will make some arrangements and try not to let Hedong suffer." We'll talk about that later. You have to tell the emperor that if you want to revive the Tang Dynasty, you must not rely on a certain town, but you must be self-reliant. ”
Looking at Gao Xiangsheng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Gao Biao continued: "The imperial court still has the land of Heluo Guandong, which is the world's most plastered, stronger than any festival town, not only has a large number of people, fertile land, but also a commercial center, and the imperial court also has 200,000 divine troops, if it can be managed well, it may not be able to command the world again." The key is to see if the emperor has the determination to break the bowl and cut the flesh to cure the poison! ”
Gao Xiangsheng said: "Heluo Guandong, the forces are intertwined, move and launch the whole body, it is not easy to stabilize the current situation, if you want to move, I am afraid that it will lead to the whole body, and when the time comes, it will not even be possible to maintain the current situation." ”
Gao Yu nodded: "I used to think the same way, but now that I'm going to die, I feel that my brain is a lot clearer, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?" Either put it to death and live later, or just slowly become terminally ill, after all, it is still death, it is better to fight, win, rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty, and lose, naturally there is nothing to say. In the imperial court, there are still a lot of talents, Your Majesty only needs to reuse those courtiers who have the heart to change all this to fight hard, maybe it will be another world, just hold the Shence army tightly, no matter how chaotic it is, it will not be chaotic after all, and if it drags on, I am afraid that there will be no chance. ”
Gao Xiangsheng nodded: "The last general will definitely relay Gao Shuai's words to the emperor." ”
"Don't make the excerpt publicly, even if I am in the fold, I don't say so, because if I get on such an excerpt, I am even worried that the fold will not be handed to Your Majesty, so I will find an opportunity to tell Your Majesty in person."
Gao Xiangsheng was shocked, as if he had realized some great things from Gao Biao's words, but Gao Biao did not say it explicitly, and he was unwilling to ask any further. Because of the levels involved in this, even Gao Yu is unwilling to touch, let alone him.
"Let's talk about Li Ze again!" Gao Yu pondered for a while, and said: "Since Li Ze's rise, I have been silently paying attention to him, although this son is young, but he is far-sighted, and his skills are old, and his city government is extremely surprising, even the old man and I, I have to sigh to myself, if I have such means as him, why at the last moment, I have to do this to ensure that Hedong will not cause chaos in the future!" ”
"Gao Xiangsheng, Li Ze, this person, not only the city is very deep, but also ruthless, his eldest brother Li Che, must have died at his hands, killing Suning, imprisoning Li Anmin, one by one, burning Texas, one by one, all show that this person can do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, this is a person who only seeks to achieve the goal and does not mind how to take the means." Gao Biao said: "The imperial court now regards it as the only external reliance, which is not appropriate. In the world, there are ruthless people, there are killers, and there are many scheming people, but the only thing I can't see through is Li Ze. Judging from his current performance, he seems to be indeed loyal to the imperial court, sending his old mother's wife into Chang'an as a hostage, allowing Xue Ping to lead his troops into Wuwei Festival Town, pile by pile, it seems that he is thinking about the court, but as long as I think of the process of mastering Wuwei and the current situation of Wuwei, my body will be chilled, so I once said to Han Qi, this is from here, the world should be a capable minister, and the troubled times will be a hero. ”
Gao Xiangsheng took a deep breath.
"The court is going to rely on him now, and I can't say anything against it, but Gao Xiangsheng, you must remember that there must be a means to restrain this person, and you must be wary of him. Han Qi, you need to do the same in the future. ”
Han Qi nodded: "My subordinates understand." ”
Speaking of which, there was a report from a guard outside: "Gao Shuai, General Li Cunzhong has come back and asked to see Gao Shuai." ”
"Let him in!" Gao Yu smiled: "Okay, now that he is back, there are some things that I will settle together." ”
Li Cunzhong strode in, hugged his fists and said, "Gao Shuai, the last general is back." ”
"Sit down!" Gao Yu said.
"Yes". The yellow-bearded Li Cunzhong moved a stool by himself and sat in front of the bed.
"Gao Xiangsheng, I said earlier that I would do it with my means, and this is the battle." Gao Biao said: "I know that after I die, Hedong will inevitably have chaos, so I will take this opportunity to teach those who may have chaos a hard lesson." Zhang Zhongwu is not an ordinary person, if my expectations are correct, in less than half a month at most, he will chase across the Gaoliang River and enter the Tianbing Army, Xinzhou Army, and Caolan Army in the Youyan area, and the Kelan Army will suffer a big loss in his hands. Under the defeat of the soldiers, these people fled back, and in a short time, they were no longer enough to help. ”
Gao Xiangsheng was shocked.
"Li Cunzhong, I handed over the Yanmen Pass to you. Your Yunzhong Garrison is composed of foreigners, and you know how Zhang Zhongwu dealt with foreigners. Gao Yu said. The Hengye Army, the Daizhou Army fought two battles in a row, and suffered heavy losses, I will also merge these two armies into your army, you are the positive, Han Rui is the deputy, discuss with Han Rui in case of trouble, respect each other, this point, I and Han Rui also confessed, you can do it? ”
Li Cunzhong nodded vigorously.
"Although you are a Hu person, your loyalty to Datang is much stronger than that of most Datang officials." Gao Biao sighed: "I can't give you more, I can only hand over Daizhou to you, firmly guard Yanmen Pass, and don't allow Zhang Zhongwu to take half a step, you may be able to do it." ”
"The last will definitely do it." Li Cunzhong said loudly.
Gao Biao nodded with satisfaction: "You are not good at management, you have always been poor in the clouds, Gao is also not good at managing money, but to maintain the stability of the army, you must have money, it will be difficult to support you in the future, and if you have no money, I will go to Li Ze to ask for it, he is the general manager of the Northland March, and you are also your nominal boss." ”
"Will he give it?" Li Cunzhong asked with some hesitation.
"He'll give it." Gao Biao smiled: "But you remember, don't take his hand short, eat his soft hand, you want his money, but you must maintain your independence." If one day, he has a different heart for Datang, you must also oppose it. ”
"Understood." Li Cunzhong said.
"Han Qi, I will hand over the Datong Army to you, you will lead the Datong Army to defend Taiyuan, echo with Li Cunzhong and the two of them, suppress Hedong, and make it stable and not chaotic." Gao Yu continued. "If Li Ze is really loyal to Datang, you and Li Cunzhong will naturally listen to his orders, and if he is against him one day, you must protect Datang."
"The last will obey." Han Qi whimpered.
"Gao Xiangsheng, I believe in you, but Li Ze, I can't see through, you are by his side, there will be more time to see him, I really hope that he is the same on the outside, if he can really devote himself to Datang, with his ability, maybe he can really give Datang a new life!"
