Chapter 616 Joke
Li Po came to the banks of the Yellow River at the end of May.
Pusaka was in sight, and Wei Chigong led people to greet him on the left side of the road.
After a few words of greeting, Li Po asked, "Has there been any change in the Tang army on the other side recently?" ”
Wei Chi Gong grinned, "Li Shenfu is much more simple than Li Shimin's, when he arrived at the other side, he ordered someone to dismantle the pontoon bridge, and Wei Chi Kai's side also reported that the Tang army had built a Wu fort opposite Longmen, and it seemed that they were planning to defend the shore." ”
Don't seek merit, but seek no fault? Li Po touched his chin and said in his heart, the Li family is really getting more and more cowardly.
"How's the morale of the soldiers?"
The lieutenant Chi Gong stopped smiling, "There is food and drink, and it is okay to fight a few more battles, but it is getting farther and farther away from Daizhou, and everyone has been out for more than a year, and some people miss their homeland, but the lord is here in person, as long as they see the battle flag of the general, everyone can have a few more points out of thin air." ”
Li Po laughed, this is not a compliment, most of the people under the command of Wei Chigong and others are from Daizhou, and there are more Youzhou people among the soldiers led by Wei Chikai and Chen Yuan.
These people have been fighting with him for a long time, as long as he Li Po comes to the army, not to mention morale, it is to make them immediately rush across the Yellow River and attack Chang'an, it is estimated that no one will have any cowardice.
"Well, that's good, in fact, in more than two months, Buqun will lead troops to change the guard, and you people can go back and rest."
Wei Chigong shook his head, obviously a little reluctant, "Is the general saying that there will be no war this year?" Can...... Wang Shichong ......"
Li Podao: "So you have to stay here for a while, the step group will lead the troops first, and when the time comes, the battle will be together, let's watch the fire from the other side to see if there are any fighters to find, if not, then rotate, you are ready here, don't be in a hurry, something goes wrong, then the step group will depend on your jokes." ”
Wei Chigong snorted twice, thinking of Bu Qun's face, he felt disgusted in his heart, and immediately changed the topic, "Look, if Wang Shichong attacks Tongguan, what are the odds?" ”
Li Po smiled and asked casually, "What do you say?" ”
Wei Chigong pulled his beard like a steel needle, "The Li brothers are making a lot of trouble, maybe Li Dajian will be taken by Wang Shichong?" ”
The tone was extremely uncertain, but it also revealed his thoughts, once Tongguan was lost, then the defense on the other side of the Yellow River in Li Tang would be useless, and at that time, it would be an opportunity for the Jin army.
If Wang Shichong is defeated, well, the probability of Wang Shichong's defeat is very high, so big that Wei Chigong doesn't dare to imagine Wang Shichong occupying Tongguan.
If Wang Shichong's army is defeated, Henan will definitely be more chaotic and lead the army to Henan to clean up Wang Shichong? There are only these soldiers and horses, but not enough.
So he immediately said: "If there is a stalemate between the two sides, it is just right." ”
Li Po shook his head and smiled, "Don't guess, first order someone to prepare the ship's iron cable, but then we will help Wang Shichong, after all...... Our two families are about to become relatives. ”
Hearing this, Wei Chigong's beard swelled up, and he grinned very hideously, "What the general said is that the last general has not congratulated the general on adding another beauty to the master's side." ”
Li Po also smiled very proudly, "Drunk lying on the knees of a beauty, waking up to kill the sword, isn't that what we ask for?" ”
The people on their left and right all laughed at this time, and these generals didn't care how many, they all felt in their hearts that the general was the general, and they always spoke so uplifting......
But isn't it, there is a murderous sword in the palm of your hand, and the power and wealth are also contained in it, beauty, haha, who doesn't want it, just like the general, ask for it from the gate valve and the princes, but it is beyond people's reach.
Only Fan Wenjin, who had been by Li Po's side, trembled in his heart, and at this time, he did realize that he had changed the world, speaking of which, he had also served in the outside world, and his knowledge was not small, but after staying in a place like Changping for a long time, his ears and eyes were naturally closed.
And now, he stepped down from the post of Changping County, and was personally promised by the King of Han as the squire of the Yellow Gate, and easily, he crossed a lot of thresholds, and before he could wonder, he was already out of the party, surrounded by bold and rude and arrogant northerners, unconsciously, his mind seemed to be a lot broader.
Drunk lying on the knees of the beauty, waking up the murderous sword...... Heroes in troubled times...... I'm afraid that this person should be the best.
Pusaka is still the same, standing on the edge of the Yellow River, after the arrival of the war season, when the hustle and bustle, it must shed blood, when it is quiet, it is deserted, inside and outside the city, it is full of the spirit of slaughter.
There are still some people in Kasaka, most of them are women, men, old people and children, and the war has devastated Kasaka all over his body.
Yao Junsu was actually the most stable when he was in the people's hearts, but many people starved to death, and later Li Tang occupied this place, and there were many more brothel villages in the city.
When Li Po fell to Pusaka, it was not a problem for the people of Pusaka, who had gone through another catastrophe, to have a full stomach, and the Qinglou and the brothel village gradually prospered.
At first, Wei Chigong and his subordinate generals didn't care, these years, there were wars everywhere, and it was not easy for people to live, especially women, so the brothel of the Qinglou became the most common place for displaced women, and most of them were just a bite to eat.
They have seen a lot of this, Yunnei is like this, Ma Yi is also average, Yanmen, Lou Fu, Jinyang, etc., etc., almost the same appearance.
And where there are soldiers gathering, the brothels of Qinglou will also be more prosperous.
This kind of extremely ancient profession, not to mention that Wei Chigong will not care about it, even if it is Li Po, he will turn a blind eye.
But within a month, the generals found that Pusaka was full of secret prostitutes, and the soldiers were running around in the city, which was very unseemly, but they could not prohibit the soldiers who were resting from going out of the camp to seek pleasure.
So, Wei Chigong discussed with everyone and issued a military order, allowing the officers and men in the army to marry the local people.
Of course, there is a precedent for this matter, when I was in Yunnei, there was such a military order, Yanmen, and Lou Fu were similar.
There is no way, the population has dropped sharply, and it is also one of the conventional methods for the men in the army to marry a few more and give birth to some dolls, so as to make up for the lack of population.
These messy things are actually routine affairs in the army, and when fighting, they rely on trivial means instead of rhetoric, which can only be used for temporary purposes, and it is difficult to cast the soul of the army.
Wei Chigong can now be said to be both a general and a commander of Pusaka County, and it is reasonable to issue some strange orders.
When entering the city, Wei Chi Gong also joked with Wei Chi Kai, saying that his life was a little hard, and some military generals actually came to Pusaka to have fun, and Wei Chi Kai also sent people over to catch him twice.
There was a bit of unpleasantness in the correspondence, but he couldn't send some women to Longmen, right? Is that a labor army or what? It's too bad to get a reputation out there.
Li Po also gritted his teeth when he heard this, what kind of bullshit is this, your level of complaining is really not good.
This is not the end, Wei Chigong said that Chen Yuan and Li Nian were fine, and began to build a camp opposite the Fengling Ferry.
After being rejected, Chen Yuan also personally came to Pusaka to reason with him, and there was a little conflict.
Hearing this, Li Po really wanted to get these guys in front of him and ask, how old are you? It's only been a few months, and you're pinching it?
In fact, at this time, the factional disputes among the various departments under his command had entered another stage, and the eight guards had been established, each with its own backers, and the boundaries of the factions in the army had finally become clear.
The battle then became complicated and fierce, this is not at all something that can be solved by military merit, seniority or family background, like Wei Chigong and Bu Qun, it was difficult to overwhelm everyone before, and now it is even worse, everyone who is also the general of Weifu is continuing to challenge their position as the head of the generals.
This does not include those ambitious backward generals, the so-called Yangtze River back waves push the front waves, with the expansion of the territory, the expansion of the army, most of the most senior people in the army gradually revealed the defect of lack of talent.
Soon, and inevitably, they will be replaced by better young generals who have risen to prominence......
Of course, now Li Po is only joking when he is Wei Chi Gong, but after thinking about it, Chen Yuan, Li Nian, and Wei Chi Kai are all looking for trouble with Wei Chi Gong, damn it, you, the general of the Zuowei Mansion, are a little incompetent.
In fact, Wei Chigong is also complaining, how can a person like him really be like a child, and complain to an adult when he encounters difficulties?
Bu Qun may not be able to do this, but Wei Chigong will not ......
So he quickly changed the subject, and at this time, he was already in front of his general's mansion in Kasaka.
Li Po glanced at the sky, "You will be exempted from the wind, accompany me to walk around tomorrow, I didn't want to stay here longer, I am very relieved to have you, but now Wang Shichong is about to raise troops, it seems that he is going to stay here for a while, send a message to Wei Chikai, Chen Yuan, let them come to Puban, Li Nian does not have to move." ”
Wei Chi bowed down to receive the order, and then said, "That Wang Shiyun...... Will the Lord be a seer? ”
It was Wang Shichong's brother who sent people over, but the purpose of coming back this time has changed, one is to marry Li Po, and the other is to let Li Po send troops to contain Li Shenrune.
It's obvious that you don't need to ask, it's just that it's too urgent, you must know that Li Po only verbally agreed to marry the Wang family, and there was no substantive action.
But at this time, the people have already sent their daughter over, and they are about to catch up with the forced buying and selling.
Li Po smiled, "Don't worry, what's the matter?" Jingde accepted a bribe from the Wang family? ”
Wei Chigong comprehended and said with a smile: "The last general just saw that the Wang family wanted to sell women, and he couldn't bear it, and he also felt that the general had arrived, if he didn't see him, wouldn't it be beautiful for Wang Shichong, who was scared, to raise troops?" ”
