Chapter II. 153. Meet your father-in-law
Shen Gui, who had finished taking the medicine, stood in front of Li Deng with a look of humiliation on his face at this time, and he no longer had the smug and oily tone he had just gone. Li Deng looked at Shen Gui's current appearance, and the cold old face in the past was also happy at this time.
"Okay, don't think about it, it's all skin injuries, just take care of it for a few days...... When the hand is down, the itch cannot be scratched! Li Deng reprimanded, and Shen Gui smiled embarrassedly.
"Let's get down to business. I remember you told me before that when you return to Fengjing, this war will be over ahead of schedule! That's what you kid said at the time, right? But now you see, what has become of this Kanbei East Road? All villages, towns, counties and townships that do not have a solid city defense, without exception, have been burned by Guo Xing's bitch! Don't tell me that you didn't expect such a disaster! Since you can make such arrangements to lure wolves into the house, you naturally have to be ...... about the aftermath."
"I said Prime Minister, you have wronged me!" Li Deng's words were only halfway through when he was interrupted by Shen Gui's words:
"The so-called planning is in people, and success is in heaven, no matter how you plan in advance, I am not sure what kind of revenge Guo Xing, who has never met, will take after facing the death of his father! Today I will make a solid account with your old man, I originally thought that those Mobei people would not be able to bear the temperament when they saw Guo Xing's previous 'glorious achievements', and mixed in with it openly and secretly, wanting to find a big fish from this pond of muddy water. And I also made an appointment with Yan Chongwu in advance, and just waited for the Mobei people to make a move, so I secretly opened a gap for Guo Xiao and the 100,000 army under his command, and let them break through. Come and see ......"
Shen Gui said, opened a volume of sheepskin on the bookcase, pointed to the area around the Pu River on the map, and said to Li Deng:
"You see, at that time, Yan Shuai and I were encircling Guo Xiao's department on the east and west banks of the Pu River, and if he led the army to break through to the south along the bank of the Pu River, he would have penetrated deeper into the hinterland of our army; Except for the five hundred guards who had war horses to walk, the rest of the army was all auxiliaries and civilians who came on only two legs, and they could not escape from the palms of our five thousand cavalry; At that time, they will only have one way to break through to the north bank of the Pu River; Because the north of the Pu River is not only closer to Guo Xing's headquarters in the camp of the Flying Tiger Army, but also the rugged terrain there, with many paths and jungles along the way, is not conducive to the pursuit of cavalry; And most importantly, they will also run into the Mobei cavalry who want to fish in troubled waters...... In this way, Guo Xiao will 'accidentally' die at the hands of the Mobei people, no matter how bad it is, it can leave a mystery in the hearts of the Beiyan people and Guo Xing! β
Under Shen Gui's introduction, Li Deng carefully checked the mountains, rivers and landform borders marked on the map, and then nodded again and again under his own thoughts. If it is really as Shen Gui thought, as long as this Guo Xiao dies, no matter what Guo Xing thinks, then the nominal alliance between Mobei and Beiyan will definitely collapse!
But people are not as good as heaven, and I don't know if the Mobei people have seen through Shen Gui's small abacus, or if they really don't help each other in order to 'keep the agreement', and now they have fallen short. And Pingbei Marquis Guo Xiao died at the hands of Yan Chongwu, although it can stabilize the hearts of the people in Youbei and boost the morale of the army, but in the face of Guo Xiao's crazy revenge at this time, Youbei can only suffer from it.
"Hey...... A wise man will make a mistake if he thinks a thousand times! These Mobei barbarians really couldn't be fed too much, and they got some rotten old grain, and they even forgot about the enterprising spirit passed down from their ancestors......" At this time, Li Deng figured out what was going on, and he actually began to sigh for the 'reality' of the Mobei people.
"So how are you going to clean up the current situation? Now this Guo Xiao has turned the horse's head and has already killed Yanjiagou! I don't know if the ancestral grave of the Yan family can be kept! β
"Hey, you're worried! I'm just a little bit of a white ding, where is my turn to worry about this kind of national event? To help their Yan family father and son clean up Pingbeihou, I can already be regarded as benevolent and righteous! What happens to them after that, and what does it have to do with me? β
Li Deng looked at Shen Gui's lazy and lazy appearance, although he knew that what he said was not in his heart, he still frowned and said:
"But what about the old and weak women and children who died at the hands of the enemy? They are all innocent people from my Youbei Third Road! Could it be that he let Guo Xing, the erector, be slaughtered like this? β
"My Prime Minister, I have a saying, don't you like to hear it! Now how the Kanbei road is in dire straits, in fact, it has nothing to do with you and me! The ancestral business of our Guo and Li families has never been destroyed by war! And the reason why Guanbei Road has this catastrophe is that the child Yan Day...... Don't fight, don't fight, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince! This is the disaster that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has provoked himself! I will carry the heavenly thunder that I introduced, and I Shen Gui didn't take his share of the Yan family, and I can't worry about it for them! β
After hearing Shen Gui's words, Li Deng remembered another incomprehensible thing. He seemed to be talking to himself, as if asking Shen Gui's opinion:
"It's strange to say, why did you say that Guo Xing went around the side of Zhongshan Road, and then turned the horse's head and came back? But let me tell you, Shen Gui, I don't care what he Guo Xing thinks, but don't forget the truth that your lips are cold and your teeth are cold! The Zhongshan Governor's Army and those soldiers of my Li family, you have to know what the combat effectiveness is! If Guanbei Road completely falls to the enemy, then the Guo and Li families will be defeated in the wind and waiting to be slaughtered, no different! β
Although Li Deng has never led troops to fight on the battlefield in his life, he is a real expert in geopolitics and the judgment of the current situation! In addition, after so many years of being a 'Youbei Butler', I also have a very deep affection for Guanbei all the way, and I really can't let go of the people of Youbei who are being devastated by the war.
"My father, don't worry! Since I dare to put him Guo Xing in my yard, I am naturally sure that I will not let him out alive! Yan Chongwu and Pei Ya will soon give him a head-on blow, and they will ......"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, give me something to understand, what's going on with him Pei Ya!"
As soon as Li Deng heard Pei Ya's name, he was shocked! That Pei Ya is a real protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and from head to toe, there is no place engraved with the brand of Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt! There is no need to think much about the turbulence of the current situation, but after the war subsides, Shen Guiyue ordered this matter to Pei Ya on his behalf, but maybe it will become what kind of murderous steel knife it will become!
And his future son-in-law, although he is talented and literate, and his kung fu is becoming more and more excellent, but for those secret swords and swords above the court, his methods are useless! Young talents like him, every once in a while, a few will spring up like mushrooms after a rain; But to this day, there are still only those old faces who are tired of looking over and over again in the court! And all this, I have been watching from the sidelines for decades, and I am already familiar with it!
"Hmm......"
Now Shen Gui also felt a little speechless. After all, at this time, his deal with Pei Ya has not yet been concluded, and he really shouldn't mention it to others. But at this time, the words have been spoken, and there is no chance to swallow them back......
"Forget it! Sooner or later, you'll have to know, and I'm not going to hide it. Let's put it bluntly, I'm going to push Yan Lao Er to the table! β
As soon as these words came out, Shen Gui was still stubborn, waiting to be reprimanded by Li Deng, but he didn't expect that there was silence in the study. After a long time, Shen Gui, who had not waited for the thunder, still couldn't bear it, and took the lead in asking:
ββ¦β¦ Why don't you reply? β
Li Deng raised his eyelids and asked him with a look of embarrassment:
"You're going for the prince? Still is......? β
"Aren't they all the same?"
"Yan Qinghong is also a good child......"
As soon as Li Deng's 'kind words' came out, Shen Gui was stunned first! He thought that because of Yan Qinghong's bad reputation, anyone who told him about it would inevitably cause a burst of ridicule. But his future father-in-law, after all, as the head of the civil officials in Youbei, now heard such a rebellious remark from himself, but said such a thing.
"Hear me clearly! I'm talking about the second prince Yan Qinghong, not Yan Chongwu......"
"I know, I'm talking about him, the second prince who saved his mother from the fire in Beilan Palace a few days ago...... But the old man has to remind you, no matter what you say to Pei Ya, of course I don't want to know; But Pei Ya is the closest person to His Majesty, no matter what 'business' you want to talk about with him, you must first keep this relationship firmly in mind! β
Shen Gui was also thoughtful when he heard what he said, but after thinking about it, he became more down-to-earth.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I can kill Pei Ya before he makes any changes."
"Before, you said that you were sure to let Guo Xiao die in the hands of the Mobei people!"
Shen Gui was blocked by Li Deng's words, and he froze on the spot in a daze, unable to find a step. And Li Deng looked at him like this, he was also happy, put on a leisurely demeanor, walked over and patted him on the shoulder:
"Now that business is over, let's talk about family affairs? You just screamed one by one, when will you get married to Le'an? I also told you kid, Le'an's age is not too young, if she waits like this, I, the father, can't spare you kid! β
As soon as Shen Gui heard this, one head immediately turned into two big. He originally liked Li Le'an very much, but since the elders in the family participated in this matter, this Miss Li seems to have changed as a person, and she no longer has the pungent and independent when she first met, but is like the ordinary ladies in Huayu Continent, gentle and virtuous, shy and reasonable.
Of course, this change is not a bad thing. But the reason why Shen Gui likes Li Le'an is that he can feel the familiarity of a 'hometown woman' in her.
At that time, Shen Gui was also deeply attracted by Li Le'an's independent and spicy energy under the refraction of this refraction similar to 'homesickness'.
"How did she become like this now? After getting married, how can you live in this family? "'Masochist' Shen Gui is in such distress.
