1239. Come, retreat

Li Daoyan spat and scolded, Fan Xing's face turned red, his hanging arm clenched his fists, since he angrily got rid of his slave status and joined the army, few people have scolded him so face-to-face, even Li Shimin is kind to him. This old man Li, but relying on the royal family to get the status of a general, he dared to insult me like this, he found an opportunity every day, and he will repay it tenfold.

Fan Xing let go of his fist, withheld this hatred, his face eased, he put on a smiling face, and was about to speak, but the soldiers behind him were angry and shouted first: "My general is a dignified prince, how dare Manager Li be so insulting?" ”

When everyone looked at it, they saw that the pro-soldier was about to breathe fire, glaring at Li Daoyan as if he had suffered great humiliation, and it seemed that he was extremely loyal to Fan Xing.

Li Daoyan is not angry, and a small personal soldier dares to blow up the stab? What about the national prince, the army only talks about military positions, he is the head of the march, but the main general, why not drink the deputy general.

It's just that before Li Daoyan could get angry, Fan Xing was "angry" first, and slapped the pro-soldier in the face, "Bold, Manager Li is the main general, not to mention reprimanding me, even if you kill me, quickly ask Manager Li for guilt." This is to squeeze Li Daoyan with words, he Fan Xing is the prince of the country, who dares to kill without the permission of the emperor?

I don't know what Fan Xing's face is when he has his back to Li Daoyan, but I saw that the face of the pro-soldier turned red and white, walked up to Li Daoyan, bowed on one knee and said: "The villain collides with the manager, hoping to beg for forgiveness."

"Hmph, Yingguo Gong is such a powerful means", Li Daoyan has a down-to-earth temperament and procrastination, which can be seen from the fact that he ordered Fan Xing to lead the troops to Niuxindui ten days ago, and he couldn't help but personally urge this until today. He is never angry, he is a bit "meaty", and he has no opinions, so he is not outstanding compared to Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong and others among many clans and royal relatives.

But this is also his "good temper", never strange with people, Fan Xing took the lead in softening his position, greeted him with a smile, and he didn't care about it, after all, what the little soldier said was right, Fan Xing was a prince of the country, and his status was respected, so he just glared at the little soldier and turned around and walked to the mount with a wave of his sleeves, pulled out an arrow from the cylinder on the side of the horse, and threw it to the ground.

"This general manager issued another military order, ordering Fan Xing, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to order 20,000 horses to go to Niuxindui in the northwest as soon as possible, and join the Chinese army without delay." Although Li Daoyan has a "meat" temperament, he is not a fool, and at present, the only way to blame this crime of failure is to put it on this Fan Xing, and he doesn't want to get involved at all.

Anyway, when the time comes, the court will investigate it, and it will be pushed on Fan Xing, and it is his Fan Xing's idea to rob the party's cattle and sheep, as for the crime of missing the deadline, I, as the main general, have ordered him to go, and there is a military order as evidence, it is he Fan Xing who did not go on time, and Fan Xing has to bear more than half of the guilt of missing the date.

After the arrow was thrown, Li Daoyan watched coldly here, to see if he Fan Xing could take it, and it was okay to take it, only to bear the crime of robbing the party and delaying the deadline for the master to bewitch the lord, maybe the emperor would take his life in his past exploits.

But if you don't accept military orders in front of you, this is an unforgivable sin, disobedience and disrespect are taboos in the army, military orders are not accepted, you can't rebel if you want to, even if you are a national prince, you have to be arrested and questioned.

Fan Xing lowered his head, he didn't know the look on his face, for a long time, "the last general will obey the order." With that, he slowly bent down and picked up the arrow.

Seeing this, Li Daoyan smiled proudly, "Although the deadline has been lost, if the Ying Guogong arrives in time to help the commander break the enemy, it is inevitable that he will not be able to atone for his crimes." With that, he walked away with a smile on his face.

He still laughed, after all, he thought that his sin was not big, it was Fan Xing's idea to plunder the party, and he also issued the military order to meet Niu Xindui a few days in advance, it was he Fan Xing who delayed and didn't do my business, at this moment, Li Daoyan's heart dissipated a lot.

Watching Li Daoyan ride his horse away, Fan Xing's face sank like water, and he only heard a click, and the green tendons of his slap were exposed, and he pinched off the arrow in his hand.

"I've wronged you, I'll reward you three women again."

After a long time, Fan Xingfang turned around, patted the shoulder of the pro-soldier who was slapped by him before, and said.

"General, that old man Li has insulted him so much, and now he has made a big mistake, why doesn't the general find another way?"

Fan Xing was about to raise his legs to enter the camp, only to hear the pro-soldier suddenly come forward and bow his head and say.

Fan Xing's footsteps slammed, his eyes shot fiercely, and he looked at the pro-soldier, his face was stern, very intimidating, "What do you want to say?" ”

The soldier was stunned by Fan Xing's look, swallowed his saliva, his eyes were excited, and he said in a low voice: "There is the matter of Party Xiang Qiang first, and then there is the crime of missing the deadline, and the general is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the serious crime when he returns to Beijing this time."

That being the case, it is better to ...... It's better to run away. With tens of thousands of brothers such as me, whether it is going to the grassland or the Western Regions, it is possible to be a free prince, even if it is to establish the country and become the emperor, why should I be angry with that old man Li."

"Presumptuous" Fan Xing was furious when he heard this, kicked the pro-soldier over, pulled out the sword at his waist, and went straight to the pro-soldier, "I, Fan Xing, have been Tang generals since the time when the Emperor Taishang raised his troops, and followed the saint to destroy Wang Dou's 100,000 allied troops in the first battle of Dingguan, Xiachang'an, and Tiger Prison Pass, and the general suffered more than ten wounds, and the blood shed for the Tang Dynasty was enough to fight, you dare to confuse me into treason?" ”

"The general is angry, I am also thinking about the general, after all, I have returned to Chang'an ......." The pro-soldier didn't expect Fan Xing to react so much, the edge of the sword flickered, and with that fierce face, it was really scary.

Just before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fan Xing, "Shut up!" What if I go back to Chang'an, the saint will not hurt my life when he sees that I am full of wounds, as for you, if you are disobedient, then you will not be able to stay, and I will let them accompany you with those three women." After that, without waiting for the pro-soldiers to be frightened, Fan Xing slashed the throat of the pro-soldier with a wave of his wrist.

Returning the sword into the sheath, Fan Xing shouted with a cold face: "Beat the drum and gather troops, go to the northwest, kill Hu Yi, and atone for your crimes." After that, a cadre of generals and soldiers was busy.

Chang'an City, in the Imperial City, in the Liangyi Palace.

Li Shimin, who had just dispersed the court meeting, walked quickly to the top and sat down, quickly looked at the desk and saw that there was nothing he wanted, so he tilted his head and asked, "Isn't there a front-line battle report yet?" ”

Wang Jingzhong, who was serving on the side, covered his mouth and smiled, "Your Majesty is too anxious, I have asked twice this morning, Your Majesty can rest assured, as soon as there is news, I will let you know as soon as possible."

Li Shimin rubbed his brows and said with a wry smile: "The major affairs of the country of soldiers are not to be worried."

Not long after, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others who had just dispersed the dynasty also came together, during this time, Li Shimin can be said to be thinking about the front-line war day and night, after all, as a horse god king, he has very special feelings for military affairs.

It has been almost two months since the departure of the army, and after the assembly of the army in Shanzhou, every movement of the army has been reported to Chang'an, but since the last war report, there has been no news for nearly ten days.

The last battle report is the route map of the division of the army reported by Li Jing ten days ago, which is generally divided into two parts, the north and the south, Li Jing personally led the Chinese army, Li Daliang, Xue Wanjun and others will attack from the north road, and Li Daozong, Hou Junji and others will outflank from the south road, and the other is the north road Li Daliang's department, Xue Wanche's department, and Gao Yongsheng's department; The South Road Hou Junji Department and Li Daoyan's Department attacked from all directions.

Behind Li Shimin hangs a map, which shows in detail the deployment of our troops and the road map of our army's attacks in various directions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the front-line army has not reported on the battle for ten days, and I am really worried." In the face of these important ministers, Li Shimin did not hide his emotions, and sighed with his brows.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the pharmacist is a victorious general, since the leader of the army, he has won many battles and has not been defeated, and the pharmacist is in charge, and the army of the Western Expedition will return victorious." The eldest grandson Wuji also said with relief.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Pharmacist Li's ability to use soldiers is unparalleled in the world, this map is already so clear, the army is surrounded by the north and south, and it is divided into several partial divisions, this is to divide and surround the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses, and annihilate the Tuyuhun troops in one fell swoop." Chai Shao, the concubine who had just been renamed from Huo Guogong to Duke Chen, coughed twice, and also said with a pale face.

Chai Shao's face looked abnormal, and he was coughing again, obviously not in good health, but in fact, it was also true. Chai Shao was a playboy when he was young, and he practiced his body a lot, and then he was injured after joining the army, and now he is only in his forties, and he has been sick for a long time, and he is in a semi-state, and he usually doesn't care.

In normal times, Li Shimin, who loves his subordinates, may care about this brother-in-law, but at this time, he really doesn't have that thought, he just frowns.

"Your Majesty, maybe it's a war, and it's not convenient to pass on the war report." Du Ruhui also spoke.

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, "I hope so."

Then he looked at the map and sighed: "Such a division of troops, breaking into pieces can indeed completely annihilate the enemy army, but there is also a certain way of the army being blocked or even defeated."

Li Shimin is a person who knows the army, and he can see the weakness of the division of troops at a glance, and he also expresses his worries.

The ministers were stunned, and they were also thinking about this possibility.

"Your Majesty, although the old minister does not understand military affairs, he also knows that there is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. Since His Majesty has chosen to fight, and Li Jing has entrusted them with important tasks, this shows their ability, and since this is the case, there is no need to speculate here with anxiety."

Seeing that the atmosphere was quite gloomy, the old man Wei Zheng didn't like it, how could he be so discouraged, he immediately lifted his spirits and said excitedly.

When Li Shimin heard this kind of chicken soup that was useless, he glanced at Wei Zheng and chose to ignore it.

At this moment, only a rush of footsteps at the entrance of the hall could be heard, and an attendant hurriedly handed the cylinder in his hand to Wang Jingzhong, who was on duty at the door, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Wang Jingzhong's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he explained a few words with a cautious face, and walked in quickly with a cylinder.

"Your Majesty, Frontline Emergency". Wang Jingzhong didn't dare to say more, so he had to walk closer and offer the cylinder with both hands.

Li Shimin and the ministers turned pale when they heard this.

Frontline Emergency...... It must be a bad thing, if it is a good thing, it will be a good thing to sing the whole city.

Fortunately, Li Shimin was quite calm, took the cylinder with a solemn face, and took it apart to take a closer look.

After seeing it, he was snorting and panting, and finally, His Majesty Li Er couldn't bear it anymore!

With a sway, a slap slapped the battle report on the desk, which shook the pen holder and overturned the tea.

"Li Daoyan, Fan Xing, waste, waste to the extreme, such a stupid thing is done, don't they have brains." Li Shimin's eyes were full of grinning, and he opened his mouth to scold: "It's a shame that they are still the old generals of Tiance Mansion, Fan Xing, Fan Xing, your former wisdom was eaten by dogs, and you forgot the righteousness when you saw small profits, and jealousy made you so stupid that you have no brains......."

Seeing Li Shimin angrily scolding Li Daoyan and Fan Xing, although the ministers didn't know why, they didn't dare to ask, they all bowed down and didn't dare to raise their heads, and the most timid Fang Xuanling heard Li Shimin's angry voice buzzing in his ears, and he was also trembling with fright.

Under the anger of Li Shimin, an extremely majestic emperor, even if he was as tough as Wei Zheng, he didn't dare to come out in person, after all, the word momentum is not false, and that kind of coercion is enough to make the courtiers dare not disobey.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally ran out of words, except for the eighteenth generation ancestors who still retained a little emperor demeanor and did not insult the two, uh, it seems that he and Li Daoyan are the same ancestor, and all the other scolding words that Li Shimin can think of have been scolded.

kicked over the desk, "all stunned, you are all dumb, you can't speak."

When the ministers heard this, their mouths were choked, and they felt bitter in their hearts, thinking to themselves, Your Majesty, who would dare to speak if you are so angry, don't you see that Fang Qiao is about to pee.

Just as the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to say something, Li Shimin was impatient, waved his hand and shouted: "Forget it, let you speak, you must be relieved again, retreat, retreat, retreat."

If the ministers are pardoned, they are busy withdrawing.

For a long time, Li Shimin sat there alone and sulked, and said, "Someone, ......." Wang Jingzhong hurriedly came and "retreated".

Wang Jingzhong was stunned, not to mention how helpless the expression on his face was.

Come... Retire?

What is the situation, Your Majesty will not be confused.
