Chapter 107: Meeting Friends and Preparing to Fight
Since ancient times, the Ming monarch followed Shun Yao, if it were not forced by the national conditions, who would not want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, but to do that reckless military work? At present, although the Tang Dynasty has only been founded for more than ten years, it has created the prosperity of Zhenguan, such achievements are enough to be recited through the ages, so why fight for some military exploits?
The husband and gentleman were born in troubled times, things must be done and there must be something to do, because of the situation to create heroic ears, now the world is stable, but the saint is still sending troops everywhere, there is indeed some to say, but every battle and every victory, but the cohesion of the people, one heart and one mind, work together, the national economy and people's livelihood are running vigorously, over time, the Tang people have also become martial and warlike, do not allow these alien races to make trouble.
Although peace with the outside world is a tolerant national policy, reflecting the vast grace of the heavenly kingdom and encompassing the four seas, but my pilgrims do not give it, but they cannot wait to take it, such as the Tibetan soldiers are on the border, and they want to be blessed, how can people not be indignant?
The people knew that this was the case, there was a lot of hustle and bustle, and today I have to ask ** is about to go to Tibet, and there is that hot-blooded man who joined the army, and the military department yamen was very lively for a while.
Xu Zhen is about to go on the expedition, and there are many things that need to be settled, first met with Li Jing, who retired to retire, although the latter is old, but he has practiced the "Gift of the Book of Changes", and he has a good way to spit out, has a way to maintain health, has a strong spirit, and has a tough body, and Xu Zhen talks about the battlefield.
Let's say that Li Jing's eldest son, Li Deqian, had a future when he was obsessed with ingenuity, but the second son Li Deqian was full of heroism, loved to make friends with reckless and reckless heroes, and slowly withdrew from officialdom.
Talking about his two sons, Li Jing inevitably sighed a little, took a wooden box, handed it to Xu Zhen, and said with a wry smile: "This is what the dog asked the old man to hand over to you, Deqian is cowardly, although he is not the main mastermind of the East Palace case, but he is also tired, and he has no face to see you. ”
Xu Zhen gently opened the wooden box, and saw that a soft gold armor was stacked neatly, it was the golden silk soft armor obtained in the mysterious tomb of Tiance at the beginning, stroking the golden armor, an incomprehensible taste came to his heart, Xu Zhen said to Li Jing emotionally.
"Deqian's nature is not bad, and he is lazy in the official position of the imperial court, but his personality is due to his personality, and he has been affected, if there is an opportunity, Xu Zhen will definitely ask the sage for a favor and let him come back to serve Li Gong..."
Li Jing's eyes contain the warmth of gratitude, he seems to have never used power for personal gain in his life, and has always been fair, so that his son is innocently implicated, and he does not dare to use human favors, he and Xu Zhen do not have a formal master-apprentice status, but Xu Zhen is always grateful, concerned about everything, intimate everywhere, not far away, will come to say goodbye, how not to make Li Jing feel gratified?
Thinking of this, Li Jing pressed his dry but powerful palm on Xu Zhen's shoulder, and finally taught a lesson: "There is no god general who always wins on the battlefield, whoever can live a long time is a god general, the so-called Tao strategy, all revolve around this, remember, remember!" ”
Xu Zhen solemnized his eyebrows, nodded deeply, and then accepted the golden silk soft armor, and when he was about to leave to the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and knelt down under the door, and bowed to the apprentice, after all, he was cheeky and recognized Li Jing, the master!
Li Jing's heart was shocked, and full of relief poured out from the bottom of his heart, this veteran, who had rarely shed tears in his life, his eyes were moist, and he raised his hand in the air, but he was worshiped by Xu Zhen.
When Xu Zhen left, Li Jing looked out of the door stupidly, muttering something to himself, but he was unwilling to think in his heart: "If a child is determined to win the sky, can he dare to give another thirty years of life, and then raise the whip outside the Great Wall?" ”
Sorry to say goodbye to Li Jing, Xu Zhen returned to the mansion, and before he could settle down, Li Zhen had already ordered someone to come to invite, and Xu Zhen hurriedly rushed to Li Tao's side.
The British public did not forget to teach face-to-face, compared to Li Jing, this Li Tao is more immersed in officialdom, strategy is greater than force, so with Xu Zhen taught, are some power and people's hearts, on the battlefield, not only to be careful of the enemy, but also to be careful of the rear, since ancient times, I don't know how many invincible generals have died in their own rear.
Xu Zhen didn't dare to be contemptuous, he kept it in mind, and he didn't thank him for his great kindness, but only used his accumulated military exploits to show off the kindness of his mentor!
Coming back from the British Mansion, he has already held the lamp, and talked to Mo Ya Haosheng, and then returned to his own residence, this Mo Ya is getting old, there are many inconveniences in his hands and feet, and he can't go with the army, so he stays in charge of the Jue's Mansion, takes care of his days, and studies the Zoroastrian Bible obtained from the King of Wei.
After shopping around this day, Xu Zhen gained a lot, but felt that he had treated Caesar badly, this sister has become more and more empathetic since she was entrusted to Xu Zhen, although her nature is cold and does not change, but she always has warmth, she is old and mature, and she has already become a haven for Xu Zhen to shelter from the wind.
Thinking that they were about to set out for the expedition soon, the two of them were tired, and they had to have a night of wind and rain, and the sky was slightly bright, Xu Zhen got up early again, and Kaisa saw the scars all over Xu Zhen's body, and he felt sorry in his heart, and couldn't bear to leave, and pulled into the red quilt to keep the joy without mentioning it.
The wind and rain stopped, Xu Zhen sniffed Caesar's body fragrance, stared at Sister Caesar lying on her chest, where did she see that she looked like a half-mature girl, she was a shy little woman, she scraped her nose affectionately, kissed her forehead and said some affectionate words, and then reluctantly left the bed.
The two were enjoying breakfast, and someone came to invite, but it was the deacon of the palace of Li Tai, the king of Wei, Xu Zhen got Li Tao's entrustment, and did not dare to entangle these officialdom battles anymore, so he ordered Zhang Jiunian to prepare a generous gift and let the deacon return to the king of Wei.
was about to discuss the march with a few brothers in Zhou Cang, and a small servant came in to report, and was about to make Zhang Jiunian go out to prevaricate, but the person who came came was uninvited, it was not someone else, but it was his own sister-in-law Li Mingda!
This little girl looked annoyed, stepped on Xu Zhen when she came up, pouted and scolded angrily: "Dead liar!" Since I went to the battlefield to run for my life, I don't know that my sister is worried, believe it or not, I went to the adults to be coquettish, so that you can't go to Songzhou this time! ”
Li Mingda scolded happily, but he was taboo to put the word death on his lips before going on the expedition, and slapped his mouth with remorse, which made many brothers in the hall laugh, everyone came all the way with Li Mingda, and did not take into account the background of her imperial daughter, she squeezed her eyebrows and laughed at the brother and sister.
Xu Zhen pulled Li Mingda aside and blamed him in a low voice: "My own sister-in-law, how can I save some face for your brother!" How will your brother subdue these brutes in the future! ”
He didn't say this very loudly, but he happened to be heard by the brothers in the hall again, and their faces turned blue, and they cursed their own masters in their hearts, and they didn't have the image of a master and servant.
Seeing that he didn't have the time to talk to his brother, Li Mingda suddenly had a seizure, and said angrily: "You savages don't want to live anymore? Believe it or not, if you make a gesture in this palace, one hundred and eighty good hands will come in and clean you up! ”
Zhou Cang grinned and said, "Letter, letter, hahaha!" ”
Zhang Jiunian is a sensible old man after all, and while laughing, he pushed all the brothers out, leaving the place to Xu Zhen and Li Mingda.
This person was empty, Xu Zhen and Li Mingda felt a little uncomfortable, just wanted to speak, but found that the other party's lips moved, and endured it, one by two looked at each other, but the atmosphere was embarrassing, but Xu Zhen was used to this kind of scene, and rubbed Li Mingda's head with a pretended grin, and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, girl, if your brother has divine help, who can hurt me? You can wait at home with peace of mind! ”
Li Mingda was about to complain, but when he heard Xu Zhen say that he was waiting at home, he couldn't help but have ripples in his heart, this was waiting at home, was he talking about me and him... Have made a...
was blushing and thinking wildly, but Xu Zhen leaned closer, stared at Li Mingda's eyes, touched her forehead again, and asked puzzledly, "Girl, what are you so afraid of?" ”
Li Mingda felt the warmth of Xu Zhen's palm, his heart touched, his ears were hot, and his pink neck was red, but he was staring at Xu Zhen's eyes, thinking that after returning from Tuyuhun, the two had no skin-to-skin relationship, and the cardamom thought sprouted instantly, and he was ashamed.
Xu Zhen felt the enthusiasm of this little Lori, and suddenly retracted his hand, a big man, as if he had been molested for a while, thinking that it was terrible, but it was the spring * heart of this girl, don't let down this girl's good youth, and hurriedly laughed and prevaricated with words.
Li Mingda, who was still rudely scolded, was quiet at the moment, with a moving posture of letting Jun pick up, Xu Zhen looked at this girl's new lotus-like temperament after the rain, and almost moved his mind, and hurriedly sat back and drank herbal tea to calm down.
Just as he was looking for something to talk about to ease the atmosphere, another woman came in outside the door, but it was Li Wushuang.
This woman saw Xu Zhen and Li Mingda's cheeks flushed, and she was also puzzled, after all, she was old and knew a little about the relationship between men and women, and she suddenly came to her senses, and when she saw Li Mingda's eyes coquettishly, she knew that she had ruined this girl's good deeds, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, she was also in an urgent situation, so she couldn't take care of it, and after meeting Xu Zhenfei, she began to talk about business.
Xu Zhen was worried that there was no one to relieve the atmosphere, and when he saw Li Wushuang, he was naturally overjoyed, but he didn't expect that this girl was also an unconscious master, and she actually wanted to follow Xu Zhen to the battlefield to play!
The last time he conquered Tuyuhun, Li Wushuang was ordered by his father Li Daozong to serve Li Mingda closely, this time without Li Mingda's fetters, it was all a bloody battle of men, although she had martial arts, how could she kill like a man?
If it is known to outsiders, Xu Zhen will become the target of everyone!
However, this girl is also stubborn, saying that this war is because she is reluctant to her parents' hometown, and her parents are reluctant to lose her daughter, so that many sergeants go to the battlefield in vain to fight hard, if she doesn't work hard, how can she sleep comfortably?
Xu Zhen is not the soft-hearted person, he is not allowed, provoking Li Wushuang with all kinds of tricks, begging and coercion, and uniting Li Mingda to intercede, but Xu Zhen just didn't allow it, and the latter had no choice but to return in a huff.
Li Mingda was also reluctant, but after all, he carried the rules of the palace and did not dare to stay longer, and left the Shenyong Mansion accompanied by Li Wushuang.
Xu Zhen had a headache for a while, and he was not free, but there were people outside, but this time it was Li Zhi, the king of Jin, who came in person!
(Note: It should be explained here that Li Deqian was implicated in the rebellion because of his good relationship with Li Chengqian, exiled to Lingnan, after the death of Li Jing in 649, he inherited the title of Duke of Weiguo, this work did not open a branch line for this person, the second son Li De Award did not enter the officialdom again, it is said that he later became a new swordsman in Shushan, the five heroes of Shushan are famous all over the world, and Li De Award is the "Red Gold Sword". )
