Chapter 263: People and Rivers and Lakes
Who can do this kind of thing?
......
There is one thing that Li Xingzhou and Guo Yuanzhen both know in their hearts, political disputes, and even the battle for the throne of Jiangshan.
In fact, there is no absolute distinction between good and evil.
Only after the winner is decided, the victor who has the right to speak will surely trumpet his righteousness.
At the same time, criticize the other party as an evil person.
Uncanny!
Guo Yuanzhen was very puzzled in his heart, the Turks stormed Shuozhou for so many days.
paid a very painful price, and it is definitely a must-win for Shuozhou.
But now that the Shuofang army is about to be wiped out and Shuozhou is within reach, he withdrew his troops.....
What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
Guo Yuanzhen's heart suddenly woke up!
...... Could it be that Li Xingzhou succeeded?
Think about it again and again.
Guo Yuanzhen suddenly laughed out loud!
If the Turks' tents behind thousands of miles are attacked.
They must have feared that a large army of ours had attacked and killed him.
With such scruples, they will definitely suspect that Shuozhou is just a piece of bait.
The purpose was to stumble their army, and wait for the Tang Dynasty soldiers in the rear to cut off his back road.
Shuozhou had ambushed soldiers and horses to kill them, and they attacked them back and forth.
Then it is really possible to wipe it out and uproot it in one fell swoop!
Soldier, treacherous.
There is no doubt about the people who use soldiers.
"Hahaha!"
Guo Yuanzhen patted the ancient and hard bluestone bricks on the city wall and laughed loudly.
"It's called, four or two thousand gold!"
"Li Xingzhou, what a genius!"
When the lieutenant generals heard Guo Yuanzhen's laughter and words, their hearts all woke up.
"General, could it be that he really succeeded in the surprise attack on the Turkic king's tent?"
"It's not certain, but it's very likely!"
Guo Yuanzhen said.
"If it weren't for the fire in the backyard, there would be absolutely no reason for the Turks to withdraw their troops!"
"Isn't it because we have reinforcements?"
"Reinforcements are coming from the rear, which we don't even know, how can the Turks know?"
While everyone was talking, an anxious shout came......
......
One person strode into the room and bowed to Guo Yuanzhen.
"General Guo, don't come unharmed!"
Guo Yuanzhen seemed to have suddenly changed back into a twenty-year-old young man in an instant.
Strode forward and hugged the man tightly.
"God, I can hope you back!!"
Guo Yuanzhen's excitement and joy are beyond words.
The strength of this strong bear hug is almost as good as Park Kyung-tae's.
"General Guo, I didn't come back alone!"
Li Xingzhou laughed loudly.
"I also brought back four captives for you!"
"It's best if you come back!"
Guo Yuanzhen let go of him and said with a sigh of relief.
"As for whether or not you bring prisoners, it's actually none of Guo's business!"
Li Xingzhou laughed with the generals present.
Hurriedly pulled Li Xingzhou, supported him with both hands and asked him to sit down.
Then Guo Yuanzhen ran out and called all the lieutenant generals and brothers from far and near inside and out.
stood neatly and neatly, and bowed to Li Xingzhou with a fist.
"Don't dare to take it!"
Li Xingzhou never expected them to come to this hand, so he quickly stood up and hugged his fists in return.
"General Guo, generals, you are going to torture me!"
"No, you can take it, you have to take it!"
Guo Yuanzhen took a long breath and said.
"If it weren't for your successful surprise attack on the Turkic king's tent, Shuozhou would definitely be gone!"
"You not only saved the lives of those of us who are alive, but also saved the names of the brothers who died, so that they would not go under the Nine Springs, and also bear the charge of losing their teachers and humiliating the country!"
"Hou Shan, please accept all the generals of our Shuo army again, and bow down!"
.
......
Guo Yuanzhen sent many groups of scouts to investigate, and the Turks really retreated.
They threw down tens of thousands of corpses at the foot of Shuozhou.
Disappeared like a strange wind.
Rao is like this, Guo Yuanzhen does not dare to relax, dare not slack off.
There is no reason to celebrate any victory.
His expression was more sad and indignant.
......
In places like the Shuozhou front line and field army brigades, women are absolutely rare.
Occasionally, a sheep may be male.
Li Baishi is young and beautiful, and he is an alternative and strange existence.
And if this wonderful flower can fight habitually, it will not lose to men.
In addition, she has made miraculous achievements on the battlefield, and she is a high-spirited and straightforward woman......
If she's not famous, it's really unreasonable!
Zuo Yiwei's Deputy Lieutenant Li has become the most shining absolute idol in the entire Shuozhou.
There are thousands of soldiers here, some people may not know Guo Yuanzhen and some people don't know Li Xingzhou, but absolutely everyone knows Li Baishi.
As long as Li Baishi walks into Shuozhou City, it will definitely gather thousands of attention, and the style is so cool that it can't be done.
Li Baishi was a little unaccustomed at first, and he was also a little nervous.
But then I enjoyed it more and more.
In the past, she was just a generation of Oiran hidden in the boudoir, and she didn't know what the world was outside the boudoir.
Now that she has had such an experience, she feels as if she was born to belong to the army.
Although this is a world that belongs to men, she was born with such a character and practiced such skills.
If you don't make a living in the army, it's definitely a wasted life!
It would be nice to be able to stay in the army forever! ......
Li Baishi has such an extravagant hope in his heart.
But after thinking about it, Li Baishi didn't dare to say such a thing to Li Xingzhou.
Although she enjoyed the treatment of a hero, she was particularly useful.
But she has never forgotten that Li Baishi is Li Baishi.
Whether it is carrying tea and pouring water at home or capturing and killing enemy generals in front of the two armies, Li Baishi will always be just the shadow of the Marquis of Shan.
After a little settlement and rest, the city of Shuozhou gradually became peaceful.
......
The next day, Li Xingzhou came to visit Guo Yuanzhen in private.
After entering the city yesterday, Li Xingzhou had already heard some rumors about Jian'an Wang Wuyi.
Today I want to ask for clarification.
Guo Yuanzhen did not disguise and embellish, and put some words and deeds of Jian'an Wang Wu before and after.
I told Li Xingzhou.
Li Xingzhou smiled.
"This guy is really haunted!"
"Jian'an Wang Wu is deliberately planning to kill the Marquis of Shan, isn't the Marquis not angry at all?"
Guo Yuanzhen was surprised.
Li Xingzhou smiled and said.
"I'd be amazed if he didn't. It's just that I didn't expect that they would also attack General Guo. ”
"yes, I didn't think of that at first."
Guo Yuanzhen's expression suddenly darkened, and he sighed heavily and smashed his fist into his thigh.
"More than 10,000 brothers, only 5,000 have died!
.....
Li Hunyang, that old thief, if he had sent reinforcements a few days earlier, why would my poor brothers be like this?! ”
Li Xingzhou nodded with his eyebrows furrowed.
Li Hunyang is the chief of the march, and he does not dare not send troops to rescue him in the crisis at the border pass. But when to send troops, it was all in his thoughts. ”
"Judging from the current situation, his mind is very vicious, he seems to want to let General Guo's subordinates lose their vitality, but not to lose the city and destroy the country, so that he will set himself on fire."
"This old thief embryo is really deep enough!"
"Old thief, I swear to you!!"
Guo Yuanzhen's eyes were red and thunder was screaming, his fists smashed down angrily, and the coffee table with tea in front of him was shattered!
"General!!"
The lieutenant outside the door somehow hurried in.
"Get out, it's none of your business! Go a little farther for me! ”
Guo Yuanzhen loudly repelled them.
This kind of thing, these generals under his command do not know as well.
Because not only can they not solve any problems, but they may also leave a lot of shadows and burdens in their hearts.
Otherwise, it is very likely to affect the army and unity, and the loyalty of the soldiers to the imperial court.
Just like those robes who know that they are framed and will go to the city to kill the enemy without hesitation.
Even if Guo Yuanzhen suffers a lot of grievances and bitterness, he will only be in his belly.
For 30 years, Guo Yuanzhen has always believed that ......
Since he is a general of the army, he must be responsible for the life and death of his brothers.
It is also necessary to shoulder the burden that comes from above.
"General Guo is really a very pure and good general."
Li Xingzhou said with sincere admiration.
"Don't!"
Guo Yuanzhen waved his hand and smiled bitterly.
"Guo is too stupid, and he has been played by those scholars in power all the year round, and he has killed an unknown number of liver and gallbladder brothers."
"In the first battle of Shuozhou, the Shuofang army died nine times.
I, Guo, have tens of thousands of blood and water brothers, all of whom are going to be buried at the foot of the Great Wall.
If Guo can be smarter to see through the sinister intentions of the old thief earlier, and be smarter to respond and take precautions earlier, why is this so? ”
"It's already here, and the general doesn't have to blame himself too much."
Li Xingzhou said.
"As the saying goes, it's never too late. The general still has to look forward to avoid something like this from happening again. ”
Hearing this, Guo Yuanzhen woke up,
"You're right. The dead are gone, and I must be responsible for my brothers who are still alive and not let them go down the path of unjust death. Li Hunyu, that old thief, I must kill him with my own hands and avenge my dead brothers!
And Wu Youyi's little scrap, he is not a good thing, kill it all the same! ”
Li Xingzhou's few words made Guo Yuanzhen's heart open, and he suddenly felt a little disheartened.
"We are waiting for a martial artist, and if we die, we will die, but we want to protect the territory and the people and serve the country."
Guo Yuanzhen muttered.
"But I don't want to die in political disputes, in conspiracy, and at the hands of my own people!"
“…… Guo is a person who has more than 10,000 dead brothers, chilling! ”
Li Xingzhou also sighed lightly, I am also quite chilled, but this can't be helped.
Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.
Where there are rivers and lakes, there will be strife.
Where there is fighting, there will be casualties due to secret fighting, and this is a natural thing.
The 10,000 Shuo Fang army was just a part of the many victims.
There is only one way to eliminate such negative factors at their roots......
Kill Wu Yuyi!
History has always been written by the victors.
Therefore, only by being a victor is qualified to talk about history.
In fact, between the two sides, there is no right or wrong, only differences in interests and positions.
It's just that this time, in order to fight Guo Yuanzhen's forces, Li Hunxuan sacrificed the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers of Shuofang's army, and he definitely violated the bottom line in this matter.
Not to mention that Guo Yuanzhen can't bear it, Li Xingzhou can't see it, even if Emperor Zetian himself knows the truth of the matter, he will spare him Li Hun Xuan!
Compared with the political dispute between Li Hunyang and Guo Yuanzhen, the battle between Li Xingzhou and Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi seems a bit pediatric.
On the question of whether and when to send troops to rescue Shuozhou, Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi has no decision-making power.
What he wanted to do was just to use the handle of those deserters, pretending to be confused and dealing with the "house slave" who "pretended" Li Xingzhou.
It's just that it happened that Li Xingzhou came to Shuozhou to stay with Guo Yuanzhen, and the two belonged to the same camp.
In this way, it seems as if the two things become one.
At present, Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi has come with troops to "rescue" Shuozhou.
How to deal with the next possible changes, Li Xingzhou still has to discuss with Guo Yuanzhen.
"This revenge will not be avenged, not a gentleman!"
Guo Yuanzhen thought of those brothers who died in battle, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, and his eyes were red.
"But I think it's still important to focus on military affairs.
At present, the danger of Shuozhou has just been alleviated, and the threat of the Turks is always there. In case they come back to a crazy counterattack, Shuozhou will definitely not be able to hold it if it does not rely on the assistance of the state's troops.
Therefore, I think that since Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi has brought troops, he should only be regarded as a support army and our robe.
As for the rest of the accounts, they will be settled at a later date...... Shanhou, what do you think? ”
"Just what I want."
Li Xingzhou said,
"In fact, when I was still in the annexation state, I had already noticed some clues. In order not to destroy the overall situation of the Northern Expedition, I held back.
Unexpectedly, he was very anxious, and refused to let me go when he caught a little opportunity. ”
Guo Yuanzhen frowned,
"Even Huan Yanfan was arrested, and it seems that they are indeed conclusive evidence.
The last time Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi came, if you were still in Shuozhou, I was really worried that you would be arrested by him according to the law. Now that he's here again, how are you going to deal with it? ”
Li Xingzhou smiled.
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. General Guo, don't worry. ”
Li Xingzhou smiled unhurriedly,
"Hey, people in officialdom always want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop."
Guo Yuanzhen sighed,
"Who did I Guo provoke? Li Hunxuan, I have no grievances with him in the past, just because he is afraid that my military achievements are too great, and he is afraid that I will pose a threat to him after I return to the DPRK, so he treats me like this!
More than 10,000 brothers died unjustly because of this!
I, Guo Yuanzhen, am a big sinner, I'm sorry brothers! ”
"Forget it, no need to say it."
Li Xingzhou said
"I think it's imperative that we still stabilize our border defenses and wait for General Blacktooth's main army to arrive.
After Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi came, he should still greet him with a smile and treat him well.
At this point, General Guo must convince your strong-tempered subordinates. Don't spoil militaristic affairs because of momentary anger! ”
"Okay, they're fine!"
Guo Yuanzhen agreed very simply,
"As long as I say a word, they will not say a word about going up and down the oil pot, and they will definitely not cause trouble because of impulse at this critical time!"
"That's good."
Li Xingzhou nodded,
"As for my question, General Guo doesn't have to worry."
"Wu Youyi's little conspiracy and Xiaoyang plot can't help me."
"If I hadn't prepared for one or two, I wouldn't have the courage to save those deserters."
"Since he used this as a lever to hit me, I'll give him a good push. In the end, it will be interesting to see who will die! ”
