After pretending to be a ghost in Qingcheng Mountain, Li Zhongyi's reputation in the officialdom of Shu became polarized.
Some people regard Li Zhongyi as a disciple of immortals, while others who do not believe in gods and ghosts regard Li Zhongyi as a "courtier", and some people even say that he is a "minister".
Li Zhongyi doesn't care about this, as long as the small life is moist, no one dares to provoke him, and it's okay.
Anyway, Li Zhongyi made up his mind, go his own way, and let others talk about it.
With the solution of the Cao family's problem, at Li Dahe's strong request, Li Zhongyi took Aunt Xue back to the Li family's old house.
When the Li family held the coronation ceremony for Li Zhongyi, in addition to Meng Renyi and Mrs. Zhao coming in person, there were also a large number of uninvited cheers after hearing the rumors.
For a time, the backyard of the Li family was piled up with all kinds of silver coins, antiques, and jade. The warehouse couldn't fit it, so Li Zhongyi had to order his subordinates to vacate a few side rooms for gifts.
From this day on, Li Zhongyi officially used the table character, and people close to him called him: Li Wuyi.
After two months of leisurely time, the border of Shu suddenly became cloudy and stormy.
Since Chai Rong ascended the throne last year, he has been working hard, in addition to cultivating virtue and politics internally, he has gradually used troops outward.
On New Year's Day this year, the monarchs and ministers of Shu learned that Chai Rong wanted to recover Qinzhou (now Tianshui, Gansu) and Fengzhou (now Fengxian County, Baoji City) and other places in Guanyou.
In February, Meng Chang had already sent Zhao Jizha as the military envoy of Xiongwu. In March, Meng Chang sent Wang Zhaoyuan, a member of the Privy Council, to the north to supervise the border defense.
Because Meng Chang actually regarded himself as the Emperor of Dashu on the national letter for peace, he annoyed Chai Rong all of a sudden.
Therefore, Chai Rong took Zhang Yongde as the commander in front of the palace, and Zhao Kuangyin, the deputy commander of the infantry army of the guards, as his deputy, forbade the army of 50,000 and attacked the Qin and Feng states of Shu.
The war between Hou Zhou and Hou Shu was expected by Li Zhongyi. Li Zhongyi is just a medical officer and a court god, and the war is far, far away from him, so he doesn't take it seriously.
Because the front line was tight, Meng Chang sent reinforcements one after another, and the front army had already gone out early.
Chengdu Hou Meng Renyi has also been appointed as the commander of the rear army, leading more than 10,000 forbidden troops of the Right Jin Wuwei to prepare to rescue Qinfeng Prefectures.
On this day, Li Zhongyi suddenly received a military order signed by the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council, ordering him to be the medical officer of the military capital and be assigned to the rear army of the northern aid to wait for dispatch.
This is a military order, not a joke, Li Zhongyi had to go home and pack some clothes and utensils, ran to the military camp outside the city, and met Meng Renyi.
Meng Renyi knew the doubts in Li Zhongyi's heart, and as soon as they met, he explained bluntly: "It was Wang Zhaoyuan, who knew the affairs of the Privy Council, who was secretly doing it, saying that if you have the help of the gods, you will definitely help the army win." When I knew the news, the royal brother had already agreed. I can't help it, I can only secretly help you operate it and install it in my army. â
Li Zhongyi frowned, thinking about it left and right, but he still couldn't figure it out, "I don't seem to have offended Wang Zhaoyuan?" â
Meng Renyi sighed and said, "You have been in the limelight too much recently, and the imperial brother has to take you by your side every day, you can talk about it, can you not be hated by others?" â
Li Zhongyi suddenly realized that Wang Zhaoyuan was actually worried that he had taken away the holy favor.
Damn, what is this called, Li Zhongyi originally wanted to live a comfortable and leisurely life, but he was ruthlessly pushed to the dangerous battlefield.
In order to win this war, Meng Chang recruited more than 100,000 people to carry grain and grass supplies with the army.
When he arrived in the army, Li Zhongyi had a fatal problem, he couldn't ride a horse.
Not being able to ride a horse means that when you run away, you will have fewer chances of survival.
Although Li Zhongyi had not studied ancient wars, he could guess that Shu would definitely lose this battle.
Otherwise, Qin Fenglu, which was left to the Northern Song Dynasty in the Later Zhou Dynasty, fell from the sky?
Fortunately, Meng Renyi knew the details of Li Zhongyi, and specially arranged for Huang Jingsheng, who went out with the army, to lead a team of soldiers from Wang Dahu, who was specifically responsible for protecting Li Zhongyi's safety.
Half a month later, everything in logistics was ready, and Meng Renyi took the rear army and set off on the road.
During this time, Li Zhongyi only did two things intently: one was to practice horseback riding, and the other was to choose a few fast BMWs to spare, so that it would be convenient to run away when the time came.
It's a pity that except for the Hetao horse named "Qingxuan" given to him by Meng Renyi, the entire rear army is almost all short Dali horses.
Dali horses are also Dian horses, and they are great for walking mountain roads and carrying weights. However, the drawbacks are also obvious, and the sprint power of the fast run is very poor.
Li Zhongyi was desperate, he rode on his horse and followed the army sullenly.
The abrasion wound between his legs, the pain from time to time, always reminds Li Zhongyi that riding a horse is actually a high-tech job.
Meng Renyi's rear army escorted a large amount of grain, grass, baggage and military weapons, and after leaving Chengdu, they went all the way north, passing through Hanzhou (now Guanghan City), crossing Jinshui (now Jinjiang) and Fujiang, and arriving at Mianzhou (Mianyang).
Because all the way is a plain, and it is in the hinterland of Shu, the marching degree is relatively fast, and it can be maintained at about fifty miles a day.
After resting in Mianzhou for three days, Meng Renyi continued to lead the army north, passed through Jiangyou, crossed the Zitong River, and arrived at Jianzhou (Jiange).
Walking north from Zitong, the terrain gradually increased, and the degree of marching slowed down, walking at most twenty miles a day.
Standing on the tower of the Jianmen Gate, which is unopenable, Li Zhongyi looked at the towering mountains and the steep Jiange Mountain, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim: With such a treacherous terrain, Deng Ai can actually walk Jinggu Road from Yinping, climb over Mage Mountain, and successfully attack Jiangyou, he is really worthy of a military genius.
Continuing to advance along the "Golden Bull Plank Road" by the Sword Pavilion, the entire rear army was divided into two parts, one left and one right, sandwiching the Jialing River to the north.
Because the terrain along the way is too steep, the pavilion road is only about two meters wide, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the turbulent river, Li Zhongyi had to dismount and walk.
Fortunately, the military rations and weapons can be transported by water, and there are slender men pulling boats, tracing the Jialing River to the north, passing through Sanquan Town and reaching Xingzhou (now Luoyang County, Hanzhong).
On the way, Li Zhongyi, who was miserable, took the time to ask Meng Renyi why he didn't take the waterway.
Meng Renyi looked Li Zhongyi up and down with extremely strange eyes, and then slowly explained: "The waterway is too dangerous, even if it is a grain ship, it can pass through Mingyue Gorge and other dangerous places, and there are not seven out of ten. We are not short of food, and if we lose it, forget it. If it is a troop carrier going through the waterway, hehe, my more than 10,000 soldiers, I am afraid that there will be less than 6,000 people left who can reach the river pool along the lĂŹ. Before arriving at the place, half of the generals were lost, how to fight? â
Li Zhongyi's old face turned red for a while, and he sighed: "I used to laugh at Zhao Kuo and talk about soldiers on paper, but I didn't expect that I was worse than Zhao Kuo." â
Meng Renyi patted Li Zhongyi's shoulder with a smile and said: "We are the rear army, and the main task is to hold the important place of Hechi, and send food and weapons to Fengzhou and Qinzhou in a steady stream, so there is nothing to do with us." â
Li Zhongyi understood in his heart that Meng Chang handed over the power of baggage logistics to his younger brother, in order to monitor and support the generals in front.
Regardless of victory or defeat in the front, Meng Renyi, who was in the rear, could grasp the military fortress of Jianmen Pass in advance, so as to block the invading Zhou army.
Hechi County, now Hui County, Longnan City, Gansu Province, is located in the south of Fengzhou, north of Xingzhou, and connects Qinzhou in the northwest.
After arriving in Hechi County, Li Zhongyi realized that the county not only covers an extremely wide area, but also has a very high city wall, and the city is full of various warehouses.
Obviously, Shu used this place as a military fortress and a baggage warehouse, and carried out key construction.
The county magistrate of Hechi was very interesting, and before Meng Renyi arrived, he had already cleaned up the county government and prepared to use it as the marshal of the rear army.
It is impossible for Meng Renyi to forget Li Zhongyi, a bad friend, and dragged him to live in a comfortable and spacious county office, and let him occupy a small courtyard to himself.
The small courtyard is very close to the back door, and Li Zhongyi wants to go out for a walk, which is very convenient.
After all, Meng Renyi is the commander of the rear army in charge of the battle, and his affairs are as many as cattle hair every day, the military reports in front, the grain, grass and weapons that are transported, the shortage of pack horses, and the city defense of Hechi, all day long, he is busy enough.
Li Zhongyi, the so-called military medical officer, has nothing to do all day long, and he is so idle.
On this day, Li Zhongyi happened to see a group of ordinary soldiers on the street and smashed a medical hall called "Jishitang".
While watching the excitement on the sidelines, Li Zhongyi suddenly realized that the medical conditions in this era were very low, the number of Langzhong in the army was very small, and they generally only treated senior generals.
If an ordinary soldier in the army is injured, he can basically only endure hardship, life or death, mutilated or able-bodied, and completely rely on luck.
Li Zhongyi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, instead of just being idle and playing stupidly, it was better to find something serious for himself to do.
During the march, many soldiers drank raw water directly, and peed everywhere, and the sanitation work was a mess, and there were definitely not a few sick soldiers.
It's better to simply set up a rear army ambulance battalion, which can be regarded as helping Meng Renyi do something within his ability.
Thinking of this, Li Zhongyi took the initiative to stand up and stopped the group of troublesome soldiers, "Stop." â
When the group of soldiers saw that Li Zhongyi was wearing an official uniform, they didn't dare to make a mistake, and one of them was a bearded man who came out of the crowd and saluted Li Zhongyi with a fist, "The villain has seen Shangguan." â
"Old parents help, old parents save lives......" Before Li Zhongyi could speak, he saw a middle-aged man who looked like Lang Zhong stumbling in front of him, crying and howling, "Old parents, the villain didn't make the wrong prescription, really didn't......"
Li Zhongyi was stunned for a while, what old parents, is Lao Tzu so old, why don't you say it's your father?
Generally speaking, a state assassin or a county order can be called a parent official.
Li Zhongyi also knew in his heart that this Lang Zhong should have been frightened and confused by a group of soldiers, and when he saw him wearing an official robe, he shouted casually.
"What's going on?" Li Zhongyi didn't pay attention to Lang Zhong, who was already scared stupidly, but asked the bearded soldier directly, and this attitude eased the excitement of a group of soldiers.
"May I ask Shangguan Zun?" The bearded soldier's questioning made Li Zhongyi realize that this was a shrewd guy.
The bearded soldier should want to find out Li Zhongyi's true identity first and then make plans, right?
At this time, Huang Jingsheng, who was wearing the uniform of the deputy officer, took the initiative to stand up and asked, "Bold, which army are you a subordinate of?" â
In view of Huang Jingsheng's aggressive momentum, the bearded soldier immediately understood that the person who came was likely to not be provoked.
"The villain is a subordinate of Meng Shuai of the rear army." The bearded soldier was still playing sloppy, and he deliberately said Meng Renyi's name just to see Li Zhongyi's reaction.
