Chapter 14 Talent is jealous of the prodigy
Li Longji's words of comfort, Pei Min didn't feel anything, he knew that there was too much brilliance gathered around him, and the king who was far away in Chang'an was already a little inflated.
Perhaps in terms of imperial studies, Pei Min is not as good as Li Longji, but his vision in military strategy is not a little bit.
Li Longji's words seem to make sense, but he thinks everything is too simple.
With the strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is indeed not a problem to win a Nanzhao.
But after laying it, there will be various problems.
Is it true that Zhuge Liang in Pingnan in the past was a fool?
This can pacify the Southern Barbarians in one battle, but do you have to have seven captures and seven verticals to increase the difficulty for yourself?
If you don't completely subdue southern Xinjiang, where will you come from?
This Tang general raped and killed Princess Nanzhao, but as a result, he suffered a military disaster, leading to the destruction of the country.
How can the people of Nanzhao not be resentful in their hearts, and how can they surrender willingly?
The emperor of Nanzhao Tiangao is far away, today the yang is against the yin, and tomorrow there will be a rebellion, what will you rely on to attack and disturb the rear of Tubo?
But Pei Min didn't plan to persuade anymore, Li Longji has never been a person who can listen to words and accept advice.
Especially in military affairs, everything is related to military exploits.
But Pei Min still wrote a letter to Chang'an, in which he did not persuade Bu to march south, but asked Li Longji to remind Zhang Qiu and Qiong to be careful of Tibet.
Nanzhao could not be the opponent of the Tang Dynasty, and the disparity in strength was too great. The only change is Tibet, as long as the Tibet is guarded against, it is impossible for the southern expedition to fail.
Coincidentally, when Zhang Qiu and Qiong were mobilizing troops to prepare for the southern expedition, a scholar collided again.
It's still the same people, almost history repeats itself.
Zhang Qiu and Qiong were really angry this time, and shouted angrily: "Xu Yuan, do you really dare to kill you?" You have collided with Ben Shuai three times and twice, and Ben Shuai has the right to kill, even if he kills you, no one will give you a grievance! ”
Xu Yuanchang shook it to the end and said sincerely: "Zhang Qiujie forgives the sin, and the lower officials do not mean to offend, but I just hope that Zhang Qiujiedu will not ignore the Tubo behind him in this southern expedition." Tibet is a noteworthy opponent......"
Hearing this, Zhang Qiu and Qiong also thought of Li Longji's letter not long ago, which also asked him to beware of Tubo, so he was stunned, pulled the reins, and said: "I have written down this matter, but it is only three things." There will be a next time, don't blame Ben Shuai for being ruthless. ”
So saying, he beat his horse and left.
Leaving the barracks, Zhang Qiu and Qiong said to Xian Yu Zhongdao beside him: "What do you think of this Xu Yuan?" ”
Xian Yu Zhongtong groaned slightly, and said: "I have some intelligence, but I am too rude, and I actually collided with the festival degree envoy twice, and I didn't even put the festival degree envoy in my eyes." ”
Zhang Qiu and Qiong said: "I also think that he has good ability, but he is too reckless." If it can be changed, it may not be of great use. ”
Xian Yu Zhongtong saw that Xu Yuan came to find a sense of existence again, and he was already afraid in his eyes, but at this moment, when he heard that Zhang Qiu and Qiong actually had Xu Yuan's intentions, he was even more uneasy in his heart: this Xu Yuan was able to guess the intention twice, he was scheming and talented, and he was obviously not bad, if he really let him make a career and become Zhang Qiu and Qiong's staff, then what else would he do?
This trouble cannot be left behind!
Just ten days later, the army's grain depot caught fire inexplicably.
The fire was not big, but it was a taboo.
Most of the ancients were superstitious, and they had to test a good fortune before doing a big thing.
Even in such a crisis as the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin had to neurotically make a Wang Ba turtle shell to calculate.
The army is about to set out, and the vital grain and grass are inexplicably on fire, which can be regarded as a great omen.
The reason for Zhang Qiu and Qiong's anger is unknown, but it is Xu Yuan who is in charge of grain and grass.
Xian Yu Zhongtong was instigating.
Zhang Qiu and Qiong regarded this southern expedition as the key to becoming a famous border commander like Pei Min and Zhang Shouqi, and attached great importance to it, and directly imprisoned Xu Yuan in anger.
**********
Li Mansion in Shuzhong.
A woman, pear blossom wept with rain, and fell to her knees.
"Old Li, you can save Xu Lang, apart from you, the concubine really can't think of anyone else who can save Xu Lang......"
Li Zhong helped the woman up, and he was also embarrassed.
Walking left and right, after a long sound, he said: "Mrs. Xu, the old man has always admired Xu Xian's nephew, if he can help, the old man is duty-bound." It's just that the old man is just a small county lieutenant, and he is responsible for civil litigation. And Xu Xian's nephew fell into the hands of Zhang Qiu's Jiedu envoy, and Jiedu made him have the right to kill, old man, he is really powerless! ”
Li Zhong also looked helpless and anxious.
Li Zhong was friendly with Xu Yuan's grandfather Xu Yanbo in his early years.
Xu Jingzong's song is pandering and straight, but his grandson Xu Yanbo is a character, completely different from Xu Jingzong.
Li Zhong was too upright in his early years, offended the big guys, and got into trouble, but it was Xu Yanbo who rushed around to help him and was able to escape.
Today, Xu Yuan was offended, and Li Zhongna was anxious, but he really didn't have the ability to save him, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Mrs. Xu was even more sad when she heard this.
Li Zhong was really helpless, and sighed: "That's it, the old man will go and ask Zhang Qiu Jie to make an envoy, and he will save Xu Xian's nephew if he gives up this old face." ”
As he spoke, he was about to leave, but he heard a crisp voice shouting: "Taigong, don't go, if you go, it may not be necessary to add fuel to the fire." ”
It was Li Zhong's grandson, Li Mi, who was only six or seven years old, staring at his grandfather with wide, bright eyes.
Li Zhong asked, "Why is that?" ”
Although Li Mi is only seven years old this year, Li Zhong never treats his grandson as a child.
Pei Min's "Three Character Classic" once praised Wang Bo as a young prodigy, who was able to write articles at the age of six and wrote fluently.
And his grandson, Li Mi, is less than seven years old and has already roughly understood the doctrine of Huang Lao Liezhuang, and speaks and acts like an adult. Even ordinary adults are inferior to him. And his grandson also has a transcendent ability to read words and looks. A little ghost, but he can see something special in the expression of an adult.
Li Zhong had already concluded that his grandson had a bright future in the future, so he specially stayed by his side to cultivate.
Li Yuren's little ghost raised his head and said: "Back to Taigong, Jiedu has the right to kill, and he has already done it if he wants to kill Uncle Xu." If you don't kill at this moment, it is obvious that you have no killing intent. Taigong rashly begged, but there was a possibility of angering him. The grandson felt that there was no need to take the risk. ”
Li Zhong also felt reasonable, and hesitated: "But if you leave it alone, it's not a thing!" ”
Li Mi said confidently: "There is only one person who can save Uncle Xu at this moment, as long as he comes forward, Uncle Xu will definitely be fine." ”
"Who?" Li Zhong also didn't care about his IQ to suppress a seven-year-old grandson, so he hurriedly asked.
"Hexi Pei Guogong!" Li Mi said a name that few people in the Tang Dynasty did not recognize.
Li Zhong frowned and said, "Pei Guogong came forward to protect his nephew, but we don't know him, so why should he help?" ”
He felt that his grandson had a bad idea.
According to Li Mi, there are more people who can save Xu Yuan.
Today's saints, Prime Minister Zhang Shuo, and Deputy Prime Minister Li Yuanhong don't know each other, so what's the use?
Li Mi affirmed: "If nothing else, just with Uncle Xu's talent and intelligence, if Pei Guogong knows, he will definitely save him." ”
