Chapter 526: An Baoyu took refuge
Chapter 526: An Baoyu took refuge
Ten miles outside the city of Liangzhou, the send-off team is spectacular.
Li Huaitang wanted to come quietly and leave quietly, but the wealthy families in Liangzhou were unwilling, the Huangfu Assassin Shi did not agree, and Bian Lingcheng did not agree.
Bian Lingcheng, the eunuch and the general manager of the Hanhai marching army, nominally, he commanded the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry and the Hui army in Mobei. Li Longji sent such a prison army mainly to balance the interests of all parties and serve as a bridge of communication between Ning Yuan and Hui Hui.
Bian Lingcheng is timid and afraid of death, but he is so happy, Li Jingzhong of the same generation is unknown, even inferior to him, I don't know what shit luck he bumped into, and the post of Ningyuan Supervisor Army, which others avoided, fell on his head in a daze, and in just over a year, he quickly soared to the top, first drove out the Tuqi Shi people, recovered the broken leaves, killed the rebellious Yi Xuan, and helped Mohe Tutun to reinstate; Then he bravely broke through Xiao Bolu, captured the enemy chieftain alive, and all of them were miraculous feats, such feats can only be compared with the predecessor Yang Siqiao.
He didn't dare to hope for Yang Siqiao's exploits, after all, this duke personally led the army to fight several rebellions in the Kaiyuan period, and more than 100,000 people were killed by him in the land of Nanyue alone, and he was awarded the title of Duke of Qiuguo. Moreover, that Li Jingzhong actually contributed to Chen Guogong, for this reason, he was deeply resentful, and concluded that this person was stained with the light of Li Huaitang.
When the same opportunity was put in front of the eunuchs in the palace, he decisively drilled into the camp, and finally his hard work paid off, and he got the position of supervising the army. He was convinced that with his ability, his merits would definitely be more brilliant than Li Jingzhong's.
Therefore, he wants to go with a high profile and fanfare, and return with the majesty of victory!
The wealthy family who saw them off brought valuable gifts, and stuffed them into the hands of the border commanders, Liangzhou is far away from the capital, and it is rare to know the important people in the capital, of course, they have to seize the opportunity to stammer.
Li Huaitang was helpless, he came in a hurry, he didn't bring any property, and he couldn't honor this historical celebrity. In his vague memory, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were killed by this person's slander, and they cheapened the Anshi rebels in vain. When dealing with this person, you must remind your spirits, and if you can't take advantage of him, look for an opportunity to kill him.
Looking at Bian Lingcheng, who was busy accumulating money, Li Huaitang had a murderous opportunity.
"Does Li Lang want to wear it? Disappointed, huh? Pei Xiaoniang was close to Li Huaitang's side and teased quietly.
Xiao Lian pursed her lips and said in unison: "Hehe, the little witch of the An family is not uncommon for him to be a suitor!" ”
The two little ladies are obviously overhearted.
Li Huaitang smiled bitterly.
Showing Anxin Xiaoniang that the identity of the suitor is just an expedient measure, he didn't think about it at all, he thought that the people of the An family would understand, but unexpectedly, they seemed to take it seriously, and even, the two beauties around him also had the same attitude as the people of the An family.
Li Huaitang does have expectations for the An family, but the object is not An Xinniang, but An Baoyu. When chatting with An Baoyu about the battle example of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, Li Huaitang felt that he was very talented in military affairs, and at yesterday's banquet, his intention to solicit was clearly revealed, if An Baoyu intended to create brilliance in Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, he would inevitably push the boat down the river. However, so far, he is still nowhere to be seen, thinking of this, Li Huaitang can't help but be a little disappointed.
Huangfu Weiming approached, saluted the princess, and said with a smile: "Princess, please rest assured, I will definitely find out the real culprit and give the princess an explanation." ”
Hoping that Huangfu will track down the truth is similar to Yuanmu Qiuyu, even if the truth is revealed, the imperial court will definitely hide something and shift the responsibility to the people in need, such as the Khitan and Tubo people, and will definitely not easily make new enemies, such as the Tiele tribes.
Li Huaitang believed in his inference that the Khitans were just playing the role of miscellaneous people, and the real driving force behind it was likely to be Fugu Huaien. The Khitans and the Tang Dynasty are in a state of war, and it is difficult for them to install a large number of eyes and ears in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and ambushing the princess and her party requires accurate intelligence support. It is clear that a third party is tipping off the Khitans. Moreover, the location of the attack took place in Hexi, the territory of the Fugu Department, and if something is abnormal, it must be a demon! To prove that it has nothing to do with them, unless the sun rises in the west.
Of course, Li Huaitang knew that talking to Huangfu about this was tantamount to nonsense, he didn't care about Huangfu's words, he just smiled and expressed his gratitude.
Huangfu said again: "That servant Gu Huaien complained to me, saying that the general sent troops to attack his tribe, killing and wounding tens of thousands of people......"
"Do you think it's possible? He's being framed, and if I had soldiers attacking him, I wouldn't have almost died in Wolf Valley!" Li Huaitang was furious, "What about the servant slut? I'm willing to confront him! ”
Huangfu smiled knowingly and said, "Well, he has already gone back to clean up the aftermath." However, I think the general is right, and An Sishun, the guard of the Yumen Pass, reported to me that the general's cavalry was blocked by him and never set foot in the territory of Hexi. Perhaps, it was the horse bandits, or perhaps, it was their own internal strife, don't the Hu people often have this kind of? Who knows? ”
Yes, that's right!
Ha ha......
In the distance, a team of horses swept up the dust and went straight to the send-off kiosk.
Hey, it's late, right? The crowd gloated. To see off the nobles, it is better to arrive early than late, and it is better to be late than not to be late, and the consequences of snubbing the nobles are very serious.
Approaching by riding, Li Huaitang looked at it and was happy, and the leader An Baoyu, dressed in a military uniform, came to speak for itself.
An Baoyu jumped off the war horse and threw his hand at Li Huaitang: "An Baoyu is willing to follow the general to fight the Khitan!" ”
"Good, good! Welcome to Ningyuan Iron Ride! Li Huaitang was overjoyed.
Outside the ten-mile long pavilion, everyone was shocked by An Baoyu's actions. An Baoyu's attitude shows that the An family has taken refuge in Li Huaitang and will take the lead in the battle for the future No. 1 merchant in Hexi!
Moreover, it is rumored that Li Huaitang has fallen in love with the little witch of the An family! Extraordinary people really have very good taste, could it be that this is the legendary hero with a fierce horse?
The minds of the people began to move.
Oh, by the way, Da Lang, isn't there a witch in your cousin's third uncle's family?
She? It seems to be married.
What? Let her get out of the way!
What's the use of retreating, Li Huaitang is interested in the beauty of the little witch of peace of mind......
Depending on where you are located, you will have different perspectives on the problem. Bian Lingcheng considered the impact, and if An Baoyu wanted to defect to Li Huaitang, he would forget it, and he also brought more than 100 riders, and this trouble could be infinitely magnified in the hands of those who cared.
"General, look, this ......" Bian Lingcheng frowned.
Following Bian Lingcheng's gaze, Li Huaitang saw more than 100 riders behind An Baoyu.
An Baoyu's explanation of Lei Ren made people helpless: they were an An family caravan, and they went to Ningyuan to buy goods under the free protection of the general.
Li Huaitang said in a low voice: "This expedition is not trivial, the enemy situation in Mobei is unknown, I only have 10,000 horsemen in my hands, and one more person will have more strength." ”
It can be said that Li Huaitang hit the key point of Bian Lingcheng, and he was both afraid of death and greedy for merit. Sure enough, when he heard that Ning Yuan's iron cavalry only had 10,000 cavalry with the army, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, where would he stop An Baoyu and the others, and even wished that the Hexi Hao clan would send more soldiers. Otherwise, how can his safety be guaranteed? The Khitans are known for their toughness, and they are not so easy to deal with.
