Chapter 601: Xiongdu (44)
Speaking of the past, Li Yuan's eyes obviously softened, and his tone of voice was very different from just now, at this moment, Li Yuan was no longer the Tang Guogong who was in charge of the life and death of tens of millions of people to coerce the Son of Heaven to order all the waiters, but a benevolent elder who often reminisced about the old people with his beloved son.
"Wei Langjun back then and Xu Le today are very similar in appearance and temperament, and even when I first saw Xu Le, I almost recognized the wrong person, thinking that my old friend came back from the dead to visit. At that time, Wei Langjun was also a young man with heroic martial arts and bravery, and it was rare to meet opponents in the world. If it weren't for his marriage too early, the first emperor would have wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law! When he was training in Chang'an, the ladies and nobles in the city did everything possible to ask for favors to find a good place, just to see Wei Langjun's majestic posture. Compared with the time when I saw the killing of Wei Jue and the throwing of fruit Pan Lang, it is not far away. When the first emperor decreed that Wei Langjun would lead the guards of the East Palace, everyone was thinking about what kind of scenery it would be when the crown prince ascended the throne and Wei Langjun was the ruling Jinwu in the future. To say that he is not afraid of people's jokes, his father was still a little envious of Wei Langjun at that time, and he couldn't wait to change positions with him. ”
Although Li Shimin did not see it in person, listening to his father's description, he could also think of what kind of scenery Xu Wei was at that time. Replace the appearance of the martial artist with Xu Le, and feel even more enthusiastic in his heart, he will achieve great things in the future, and he must make Xu Le worthy of friendship with each other with such a scenery!
At this time, I only heard Li Yuan continue: "But Xu Wei's temperament is as sharp as Xu Le, so that he has countless enemies. As many as those loved him, there were those who hated him. As a father, he also persuaded him several times back then, asking him to know how to restrain his edge, but Wei Langjun was brave and martial and did not care about what others thought. His words at that time were the same, if anyone was not satisfied, he should just come and compare, and everyone would see the high and low. Listen to it, are these words very similar to Xu Le? As a father back then, like you, he defended Wei Langjun in every way, even if he knew how rebellious he was, he was also inconvenient to interfere in friendship, and he didn't know how many times he pleaded for him to ease his cheeks. He thinks that the emperor's grace is mighty, and he is a little thin as a father, even if it is a great disaster, he can bear it for him. Until...... That night, disaster fell from the sky, and the father was convinced that man could not defeat the number of days! If people are reckless and reckless, they will be guilty of the sky, and they will talk about the Li family in Longxi, even if they can't bear it! In the final analysis, Wei Langjun acted too arrogantly, and finally angered the heavens and suffered this misfortune. If I had persuaded him a few more words, how could I have caused that disaster? In the final analysis, being a father for a friend is hurting a friend, and even regretting it, you don't want to follow the old path of being a father! ”
Speaking of this, the warmth in Li Yuan's words was full of murderous intent, and Li Shimin could even hear the swords resonating from it. My father's words were by no means untargeted, nor were they falsely intimidated! Instead, he warned himself that Le Langjun was always like this, and he would inevitably repeat Xu Wei's mistakes! Even if he vouched for the love of father and son and Xu Lehe's military exploits, it would be difficult to prevent this from happening! I just don't know if this is what my father meant, or if someone else thinks?
Li Yuan's tone softened a little more: "If it's a Dou Dalang, it's nothing, no matter what, I'm also his uncle." Even if you don't reason with him, scold him directly, and then punish him for being grounded for half a year, that brute has nothing to say. But do you know how many people have sued Xu Le in the past two days? And who is the complainant? Even if you are a father, you can't go against everyone's will. No matter how high Xu Le's martial arts are, no matter how well the Xuanjia Cavalry can fight, he can't kill all these people. Otherwise, what is the difference between us and the one in Jiangdu? ”
"The child understands what the adults mean, but if it is undecided today, it is the time for Haojie to use force. Adults only care about the hearts of the family, regardless of the dignity of the martial arts, it is not a way. Although we have won Chang'an, there are still countless strong cities in front of us, and there are countless elite soldiers and fierce generals to deal with. If there is no Le Langjun and his Xuanjia horse, the child doesn't know how to win? ”
Li Yuan snorted coldly: "You have to say this to your father, and you can't mention it again when you leave here." Otherwise, when the battle is approaching, everyone will only look at the Xuanjia riding methods, will we rely on these hundreds of armor horses to compete for the world? Besides, as a father, he never said that he would cure Xu Le's sin this time! If I really want to kill Xu Le, what can I do with the hundred and ten people? ”
Although Li Shimin was reprimanded, listening to his father's tone, he became happy: "What do you mean by the adult, are you willing to let Xu Le go once?" ”
"As my father said, my friendship with Wei Langjun is not inferior to that of you and Xu Le. Now that the Xu family only has this bloodline left, doesn't his father want to keep it? As you said, if the heroes are about to use force today, with this reason, it is always easier to protect Ah Le. But this matter can't be left like this, that would not protect him but harm him. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Let him avoid the limelight, and wait until the wind is calm before he comes back to lead the troops."
Li Shimin also felt that this arrangement was the best result at the moment, after all, this time the other party came prepared, attacking Xu Le with an overwhelming momentum, and the people involved must be in high power, among them, there may be many generals or important ministers in the army. These people oppose Xu Le together, even if they forcibly let Le Langjun take charge of the army, they will inevitably be constrained by many parties.
What's more, these people are not enough to succeed and more than they can lose, and if they deliberately make enemies of others, it is enough to make it difficult for someone to move an inch. Compared with the swords, guns, swords, and halberds in the front, the cold arrow dagger behind it is undoubtedly more deadly. Putting Xu Le in that environment is equivalent to roasting him on the fire, which is really not a good result for Xu Le.
There is nothing wrong with putting down the military power for the time being, anyway, the Xuanjia Cavalry is equivalent to Xu Le's trilogy, and if another person goes in, he can't shout at all, and his father won't arrange it like that. It must be to make himself the master of the Xuanjia cavalry, and then get rid of General Xu Le.
When the time comes, Xuanjia will be riding in his own hands, and he will not have the final say on how to do things? It's still up to Xu Le to call the shots in everything, hang his own title in front, and block other people's mouths. As for the general's name, Xu Le didn't take it to heart, it didn't make a difference whether he had it or not, and relying on his martial arts skills, if he wanted to get back the general's name, it would not be difficult for Gu to do anything.
Afraid that the night dream would have more twists and turns, Li Shimin immediately said: "My lord sees it! The child also thought that it was best to deal with it in this way, but he just had to embarrass the adults and deal with those people. ”
"I have a good relationship with Wei Langjun, and it is nothing to suffer some criticism for the sake of the deceased. My father was worried that you wouldn't be able to figure it out for a while, but since you said the same thing, it would be better. The soldiers and horses of the Xuanjia Cavalry will be under your command in the future, and with your skills and friendship with Xu Le, they will not have any complaints. As for Ah Le...... It is not good for him to stay in Chang'an. Whether it is Dou Fengjie or the people whose houses were burned, they are full of resentment towards him. Whoever makes a fuss is a right and wrong. If he hits anyone again, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to excuse him. ”
"My lord is asking Le Langjun to return to Jinyang?"
Li Yuan shook his head and said, "For my father, I am not confused, how can I arrange it like that?" What kind of temperament Yuan Ji has, his father knows it very well, and if he puts Ah Le and him together, something will happen sooner or later. Besides, the little brute of the Zhibi family is also in Jinyang, and his father has to keep him to negotiate with the Zhibi Department, and he can't let Ah Le find an opportunity to cut off his head. For the father, Ah Le has a place to go...... Jiangdu! ”
Li Shimin never expected that the word Jiangdu would be said from his father's mouth, he was stunned at first, and then looked at his father in some surprise, completely not understanding his father's thoughts at this time. 、
Li Shimin believes that his father is not a fool, but such an arrangement is simply unreasonable. Yang Guang is now sitting in Jiangdu, and the tens of thousands of Xiaoguo under his command are the last essence of the officers and soldiers of the Great Sui. Even if the Yang family is now like a candle in the wind, it will be extinguished at some point, but no one dares to despise this residual sun. Including Li Yuan himself, I am afraid that there is no way to be confident that he can take the blow of this team of people and horses.
Yang Guang had taken precautions against the Li family in every possible way before, and now Li Yuan officially launched an army to attack Chang'an and support Yang Yu as the emperor, which is naturally a chaotic minister and thief for Yang Guang. Xu Le has made such a contribution to the Li family, how could Yang Guang not know his name? What is the difference between sending him to Jiangdu and sending him to death?
Li Yuan said: "Pushan Gong led the Wagang Army to attack Luoyang, although the victory was not scored, but think about it, how is Yang Tong, the erector, his opponent? The Wagang army has already won the granary of the world, and if it sweeps the Central Plains again, it will be very disadvantageous to my Li family. In the past two days, I have discussed with Xuan Gong, and I feel that I should destroy Wagang first and then break the Jiangdu. ”
Li Shimin also knew that his father ignored Xu Le in the past two days, although he deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb, but also because the threat of the Wagang Army was imminent and he couldn't spare his hands and feet. Compared with the more than 100 people in Xuanjia, it is obviously a greater threat from the hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops.
At the beginning of the competition for the world, no one was optimistic about this team composed of green forest heroes, but now everyone is worried about whether the world will eventually fall into the hands of thieves. Li Shimin agreed with his father's strategy of first Wagang and then Jiangdu, but he still couldn't understand what the relationship between this strategy and letting Xu Le go to Jiangdu.
"The Wagang Army is gaining momentum, even if our army wants to deal with him, we must do everything we can, and we have no time to be distracted by other things. If the Jiangdu person orders a crusade at this time, our situation will be a little bad. In order to prevent such a thing, the only way to strike first is to send a secret envoy Benshu to negotiate peace with Yang Guang. ”
"Peace?"
"Exactly. Of course, we don't want to fight with Yang Guang, Yang Guang only has that little capital left, and most of them don't want to fight with us. A certain and Yang Guang made an appointment, concentrated troops and horses to destroy Wagang to relieve the siege of Luoyang, in exchange for him to proclaim the world, with Tongguan as the boundary and we divided the world, in the future the north and south of the court co-governance. If this matter is successful, the Wagang thief can be broken overnight, and what my father and son have endured for many years can also be completed! ”
