Chapter 143: On the eve of the Great War
Wang Yi suddenly patted his head and whispered, "Grandma, isn't scolding him just scolding myself." ”
Night.
Li Zizhen sat on the edge of the fishing village, looking at the sky from afar, the stars in the night sky were very bright, the moon was hanging in the sky like a jade plate, and there were fireflies in the grass.
He is a jade-faced scholar, a typical northerner and southerner, northerners are thick but also have drawbacks, that is, thick and stupid, southerners are clever but also cunning, Li Zizhen is a combination of stability and cleverness, not to mention the opportunity is also very good.
With this kind of face, he sat alone by the river, his hair dancing in the wind, adding a little bit of the beauty of a lost scholar.
Li Zizhen was wearing a thin shirt, the night breeze was blowing by the river, he was still sitting there, holding a piece of waste paper in his hand, curled up in a single figure, no one could have imagined that this middle-aged man who was a little thin and looked like he was in charge of the army of three or four hundred thousand Great Zhou.
He held his chin, stunned, he suddenly remembered the will of the first emperor to edict the vassal king Zhen Sihai, and sent the imperial uncles to rush to various places to be the king of the vassal army, all these years have passed, the older generation of imperial uncles have all passed away, and their descendants are now just a county king, only their own hereditary position in the vassal king.
The words that the old King Huai'an said when he was still in the prime of life have been echoing in Li Zizhen's ears now:
"The position of the crown prince was your father and mine, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't fight or compete for my hobby of reading in my early years, and didn't take care of military power, your imperial uncle directly led troops through Wuying Hall to force my father to give way, I wouldn't have ended up in the position of a vassal king, otherwise when will it be Li Ru's turn to do the throne now, I have the same word as Li Ru, it's really a shame!"
Li Ruyi, Li Ruyi.
The two uncles and nephews have the same word, which shows that Li Zizhen's imperial uncle, that is, the murderous heart of the first emperor.
The young Li Zizhen was also resentful, and at that time he was enthusiastic and bluntly said: "Then it will be the other way he goes!" ”
But only his father's slap responded to him, and Li Ruyi said heavily: "You remember, since the family's affairs are behind closed doors, the current enemy can't let people see jokes!" ”
Li Zizhen spread out the note in his hand again, and at this time, a Gongsun Run's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Who reads the west wind and is cold alone, Xiao Xiao Huangye closes the window, Lord Wang, it's cold outside, how can you sit here alone." ”
Li Zizhen felt that there was an extra piece of clothing on his body, and when he looked back, the military advisor Li Migong was standing behind him, he put away the note without leaving a trace and smiled: "Migong, when did you come?" ”
"When I open my mouth, I come when I come."
Li Migong seems to have something to say.
Li Zizhen smiled softly and motioned for the military advisor to sit beside him.
Li Migong sat down, he tightened the clothes on his body and said jokingly: "The early autumn is cool, does the prince have anything on his mind, hurry up and go in to rest, I, a weak scholar, can't stand the night breeze." ”
"Okay, Mi Gong, I always talk about weak scholars, others don't know, I don't know about you? The second swordsman of the Great Zhou. ”
Li Migong shook his head, "It's all a false name, and it's not worth mentioning in the eyes of you, the King of Huai'an." ”
Li Zizhen glanced at him sideways, "If it weren't for your careful study, then Dugu Taiyi wouldn't be the number one swordsman in the world." ”
"Wait until I become the number one swordsman in the world, and then I will be separated from Chen Xiaodao? A few days ago, they were on the Qiantang River in Qingzhou, and it was dark to fight, so it would definitely not work for me, and it was rumored that Chen Xiaodao took the opportunity to break the mirror and entered the real realm, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Li Zizhen smiled disdainfully, he has always looked down on the martial artists of the rivers and lakes, in his eyes, these swordsmen and swordsmen, all day long, are idle and waiting for death, that is, relying on martial arts to do the wind and rain, the name is bigger than the other, only Li Migong, a master of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, can get his favor.
Li Zizhen asked tentatively: "Come to 30,000 elites, can you use human lives to kill a real realm master?" ”
Li Migong waved his hand, "The prince overestimates them too much, only 10,000 soldiers who dare to die can chase and kill them day and night." ”
"When the second child rescued my father, he was able to kill 20,000 elites with ease."
"Wang Yi doesn't want to kill him, there is news from the front line, the two of them have met again, this time if Yu Youjun wants to be an enemy of 10,000 people again, Wang Yi will definitely not give him another chance, this kind of hostile force will kill people early, and it will be extremely terrifying when they grow up."
"yes...... It's good to kill early......"
Li Zizhen lowered his head and muttered a few words, secretly crumpled the note, he sighed: "I have 400,000 soldiers in the Huai'an army, there are Confucian generals like Zhang Wenyuan who are full of scheming, there are invincible opponents in Youjun battlefield, and you are a national soldier and military advisor who is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, but you want to be a gunman for the imperial court, to be honest, as I get older and older, I am more and more unwilling......
Li Migong was noncommittal, King Huai'an's actions had already made him guess most of them, and at this time, Li Zizhen said this again, which made this strategist even more sure that he guessed in his heart.
Li Zizhen asked again: "Mi Gong, do you remember what I asked you, if the court thinks that I will be opposed, what should I do at that time?" ”
Li Migong wrapped his clothes again, and the night breeze did not blow his body, but it was finally cool.
"At that time, I said, 'With me, it won't happen,' and now it seems like a big deal."
Li Migong smiled, half jokingly and half seriously: "The court thinks that our Huai'an army will rebel, I must have a way to be ordinary, if we really rebel, I will have nothing to say at that time, but I will still follow you, Lord Wang." ”
Li Zizhen said: "The imperial court will let us raise troops for 20 years, and we will definitely not worry that we will rebel, whether it is to believe us or to keep a backhand, at least there is no news from the capital." ”
Li Migong turned his head and looked at this King of Huai'an, who had been with him for most of his life, Li Zizhen's words were already very obvious, the two only talked a few words, and the current situation inexplicably became two words without room for "the court forced to rebel" and "he rebelled".
Since the court did not force the rebellion, the result is the second type.
Li Migong asked, "I want to know why." ”
"For the sake of a breath in my heart, my son Li Xuanguan has also grown up, our two generations have bled enough, and it is time for the younger generations to enjoy the blessings and sit in the position that my father lost."
Li Migong sneered: "This is the promise he gave you?" ”
Li Zizhen bowed his head and said nothing, he always felt like a stripped little lady in front of this military advisor, and he was very ashamed.
Seeing that he was silent, the military advisor asked softly: "I hope that the prince will weigh it carefully, if he really gave you this kind of promise, then why do you want to fight, it is better to kill Hu Guangjun together now, and go east with your back to Xishu." ”
Li Zizhen shook his head and said, "There are still a few stumbling blocks to be solved." ”
Li Migong's eyes narrowed, and he pondered in his heart, stumbling block, there is still a stumbling block in this world where the united million army cannot step on? If there is one...... That's the only way to find the reason from within.
He asked, "Is it Yu Youjun or Zhang Wenyuan?" Liang Wei? Liu Qingyun? Liu Qingyun and Liang Wei shouldn't be, one of them has no great talent, and the other is in the Southern Dynasty army full of sailors, and their ability is also very low. In this way, only Zhang Wenyuan and Yu Youjun are left, is it one or all of them? ”
"One of them, Liu Su also has to get rid of a few people."
Li Migong let out a long sigh, he asked too many questions today, from swordsmen to national warriors, the questions asked by asking swords to study were not as many as today.
He stood up, turned his head and returned to the village without saying a word, whether it was Yu Youjun or Zhang Wenyuan, he didn't want to see any of them have an accident, followed the Huai'an Army for ten years, and finally couldn't escape the tragic end of the cunning rabbit death and lackey.
Li Zizhen called out to him, "Will you still help me?" ”
Li Migong sneered: "If I don't help you, won't I become a stumbling block for you?" Will you clean me up with that? ”
Li Zizhen shook his head and said frankly: "I won't kill you, I won't let you go, I've seen your terrifying skills, you can only stay by my side." ”
"So the tens of thousands of troops stationed in the fishing village are defending against me? No wonder you just knocked on the side and asked if Wufu could become an enemy of 10,000 people. ”
Li Zizhen is noncommittal, talking to smart people is like this, his heart will be exposed in a few words, and he feels a little smart and uncomfortable when he tells lies.
Li Migong stopped, and he continued: "Have you really thought about it? If Liu Su doesn't fulfill his promise, you will be used, and when the time comes, the Huai'an army will be wiped out in an instant. ”
"It's better to be used for a while than to be used for a lifetime, and if you don't fight, you won't have a chance for a lifetime."
"What the old King Huai'an said, have you forgotten? The family can fight as much as they want behind closed doors, but if there are evil neighbors entering the door, they must unite to expel outsiders. ”
Li Zizhen's head sank even more, and he muttered: "When I get down, I will personally apologize to his old man, if I fight for that position, my father should also be relieved." ”
Li Migong sighed lightly, "We are now grasshoppers on a rope, since you want to seek the world, then try it!" But I have a request......"
Li Zizhen was overjoyed, he stood up and ran to Li Migong's side, tightly grabbed the latter's sleeve robe and said, "As long as you continue to assist me, I will promise you any conditions!" ”
The peerless warrior muttered, "I'll take a look at the message Liu Su sent to you first, see what he said, and whether he promised you any benefits." ”
"This ......" Li Zizhen is in trouble, the secret letter has been crushed by himself, and now he can't see anything.
Li Migong frowned, "No? ”
"No, no, no, the secret letter is gone, it has been torn in my hand just now."
Li Migong rolled his eyes, he now seriously suspected that the prince was bewitched and rebelled by Liu Su because he was getting older.
"Can't you dictate it to me?"
Li Zizhen patted his head, looking very annoyed, what kind of memory is this now, he didn't even know the most basic things when he was excited, he thought about it and said: "Probably like this: King An has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and there are countless people with high skills under the account, Liu feels deeply worthless for King An, but the throne that belongs to King An has let Li Ru is faint monarch do it." At the same time that the Great Zhou Dynasty has invaded our Southern Dynasty again, Liu deeply feels that the war has a heavy burden on the people, so he wants King An to consider it, unite with us, and counterattack the Great Zhou, and finally Liu is willing to rule the river with King An and never invade. ”
Li Migong laughed after hearing this, and it was the kind that laughed loudly, he pointed his finger at Li Zizhen and smiled without saying a word.
The prince is not stupid at all, he has long planned to rebel, but Liu Su's paper became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Li Migong said with a smile: "Maybe it's because of the prince's oral reasons, the words in this secret letter don't match the horse's mouth, and there are many loopholes, as soon as Liu Su counterattacks the Great Zhou for the dawn of the Southern Dynasty, then the people of the Great Zhou are not the people?" The Great Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty are still the same root and one person, and then talk about dividing the river and governing the world, he also said this sentence to the current saint, this Liu Su is a repeat of the old trick! ”
Li Zizhen's eyebrows were a little solemn, and he asked, "Mi Gong, if you really cooperate with Liu Su, what do you need to pay attention to, or how to guard against him." ”
Li Migong snorted coldly: "It's very simple, just don't let him stab him in the back, and ...... After the 400,000 Huai'an army enters the capital, the Southern Dynasty must be destroyed in turn, and people like Liu Su can't stay! ”
