Chapter 40: Liu Wenxiu's Meaning

Liu Xuanchu trekked through mountains and rivers to Kunming, but he did not see Li Dingguo's face, so he was told by Li Dingguo that tomorrow, he would be asked to follow the people to Chóng Qìng, or to Nanjing. Counsel about this matter.

This arrangement is exactly what Liu Xuanchu intended. I settled down and waited for departure.

But I didn't want to be in the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Mansion at this moment, Li Dingguo and his two brothers were talking secretly.

The reason why Li Dingguo asked Liu Xuanchu to go to Chóng Qìng to talk, or to Nanjing to talk, was because of Li Dingguo's location.

To be honest, if Li Dingguo was in Guiyang now, he might have negotiated a charter with Liu Xuanchu. But now it's in Kunming. There are many reasons why Li Dingguo is in Kunming, the most important of which is to appease the departments of the Great Western Army, after all, when he was in Nanjing, he had promised Zhang Xuan to do something. No matter how the soldiers are dismissed or the vacancies are counted, they will offend people. Another reason is that the Yunnan Yongli has emerged again.

In this way, Li Dingguo's location is a little too far away from the Yangtze River water transportation. And the best route for Sichuan salt out of Sichuan is the Yangtze River. He is far away, and it will be a little inconvenient to intervene again.

As for why Li Dingguo was asked to talk to Wu Sangui.

This is of course Zhang Xuan's trust in Li Dingguo, and it is also a kind of identity reciprocity.

Compared with Li Dingguo, He Hutou, Hu Tang and others, they are far from being comparable to Wu Sangui.

However, Liu Xuanchu may not know who the people who will walk with him tomorrow? It is his old master, the third general Liu Wenxiu, and the fourth general Ai Nengqi.

"Second brother, I don't understand what kind of ** soup Zhang Xuan poured you." Liu Wenxiu's tone was a little complaining, and said: "We are waiting to see how good the situation is in Yunnan, if there is no victory or defeat between the north and the south, and under the mutual containment, we may not be able to become an independent country in Yunnan. ”

Ai Nengqi didn't speak, but he always looked at Liu Wenxiu.

Li Dingguo wholeheartedly followed Zhang Xuan's wishes, dismantled the army, urged all localities to settle fields, and found ways to reduce the transportation of grain from Hunan to Yunnan and Guizhou. Among them, many of them were won, and the old generals of the Great Western Army placed some of the veterans in Tuntian in various places, and some young generals who were born in Zhang Xuan's personal guard were placed in key positions.

Maybe these official positions are not high. But the stakes are significant.

Liu Wenxiu still couldn't see what Li Dingguo meant, and a large part of Liu Wenxiu's complaints were his own, and some of them came from these old men of the deposed Great Western Army.

In fact, Liu Wenxiu can still bear these things, after all, Liu Wenxiu has a very high prestige in the army, and Li Dingguo's pruning and pruning scissors can't shake the prestige of Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi, but Li Dingguo's next step is to make the two uncomfortable

In the extreme, he asked the two to go to Nanjing to report on their work.

Liu Wenxiu understands very well that once he goes to Nanjing, he will probably not be able to return to Yunnan.

In Yunnan, in the Great Western Army, Liu Wenxiu responded to every call. But in the other armies of Great Xia, who knows who he Liu Wenxiu is?

At this point, he and Ainengqi were absolutely unwilling to agree.

But what if they don't want to say yes? Li Dingguo is not a reckless person, since he dares to do this, he will make Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi unable to resist, the two of them also admire Li Dingguo's ability to fight, and they also know that they are not opponents. Li Dingguo also didn't want to hurt the love between brothers.

So the two are just arguing, trying to convince each other.

"Third brother." Li Dingguo said: "Haven't you seen Your Majesty? Your Majesty is a wise lord, and since the beginning of the war, he has hardly missed a single battle, and he has won every battle. Outside the ability to march and fight. In addition to internal political theory, he is also a first-class good hand, whether it is the original handling of Runing government affairs, sitting in the two Guangzhou. Everywhere he passed, the government was harmonious, and the people praised him. You can see it. ”

"Second brother, don't say good things about that today." Liu Wenxiu said: "I also have contact with today. Yes, he is a first-class hero. It is a rising star of Cao Ying. I know all of that. If it weren't for him, Xia Taizu might not have this title. However, the second brother, you are not inferior to him at all, you just owe some luck. Yes, the throne is firmly seated today. But it's not so much that we all want to be dogs for him. ”

Chen Sheng killed his poor friend. Maybe I don't understand. For some dignitaries, some old friends who know the roots are too annoying.

Even Zhang Xuan is already the king of a country.

But in Liu Wenxiu's eyes, he doesn't talk about the homeless people in Huangling City, the strategists around Luo Rucai, and so on.

And the decisive plan is not His Majesty the Emperor who is high in the Nine Heavens.

"Presumptuous." Li Dingguo said sharply. He then sighed and said, "Third brother, fourth brother." I'll give you a truthful word, I've thought about it carefully, many things are not a missed opportunity, when my father-in-law was in Changsha, the soldiers spread to Jiangxi, only hundreds of miles away from Jiangnan, and there was no strong enemy, what he faced was just Zuo Liangyu. If the father-in-law had decided to go east and sink the ship, he might not have occupied Jiangnan. ”

"But what was the result?"

"There are some things that I don't think are just a fluke, marching and fighting, I feel that it is not inferior to today, but the method of military training. But I am far from Your Majesty. Not to mention the way to govern the country, just look at the current court is in ruins, in the hands of His Majesty. But there is a lot of color. This way of governance, even the eldest brother can't compare to him. ”

Liu Wenxiu was a little surprised when he saw Li Dingguo talking about Sun Kewang. looks like he wants to speak and stops.

"I know." Li Dingguo said: "My eldest brother and I have our own strengths, marching and fighting, my eldest brother is not as good as me, governing the country."

, I'm not as good as my big brother. ”

"But we are inferior to Your Majesty in both of these."

"The world has been in chaos for so long. Do you remember what we suffered when we were children? ”

"The people's minds are determined, what is missed is missed, and they are willing to gamble and lose. The third brother and the fourth brother, even if I am willing to raise troops, it will only be cheap. Today, they are in the same vein as the rebels, and they take care of the rebel brothers. When Dongyu is in power, are you willing to be a rat tail for money and a dog for others? ”

"As for the separatist side?" Li Dingguo said: "Yunnan is a barbarian land. The toasts gathered, and now the southern Yongli and Nashi are united. Once we make a move, even if we are not crusaded by the imperial court, we will be mixed between the various ministries. However, speculating everywhere has changed from being a minister of one person to being a minister of several people. ”

Liu Wenxiu sighed and said, "That's it, the second brother is like this, if you have anything to say as a younger brother, I will go to Nanjing." ”

I don't know if Li Dingguo's words moved Liu Wenxiu, or if Liu Wenxiu saw Li Dingguo's resolute attitude. I stopped talking nonsense and turned my head. Snorted coldly and said, "I want to see what the situation in Nanjing is." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't say hello to Li Dingguo and left.

Ai Nengqi immediately saluted Li Dingguo, and then chased him out.

Liu Wenxiu saw Ai Nengqi chasing after him, and said angrily: "Are you talking?" What is it if I speak alone? ”

"When my father-in-law was here, I was just a man who obeyed orders, and I could do what I wanted. My father-in-law is not here, and I listen to the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother. There's nothing bad about it either. ”

"Third brother, in fact, what the second brother said is also right, when we raised the army, we didn't think about today, but now the big horse is riding, and the high-ranking officials are doing it. Seal the wife and the shadow. I'm already satisfied. However, the third brother has a deep affection for me, and I will definitely listen to the third brother. ”

"It's just the third brother, what outcome do you want to seek?"

Ainengqi's words are quite wise and foolish. Liu Wenxiu also secretly said in his heart: "It's me, what am I asking for?" ”

Even if he can make Li Dingguo rebel, the future will also be Li Dingguo's, and it will not be his.

What is the grievance in his heart?

Liu Wenxiu thought about it carefully, and finally determined that it was a breath of injustice in his heart.

I think about the beginning, the three major battalions of the righteous army, the camp, the camp, and the Cao camp. Among the rebels, the name of the first in the world is the camp, and then the camp. Cao Ying is also attached to the dedication camp first, and then to the breaking camp.

The name of the dedication camp has always been above Cao Ying.

And the camp has become a courtier of Cao Ying, this feeling has always made him have a breath in his heart. Depressed.

I figured it out at the moment. But he breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "I must see if Zhang Xuan has some ability." ”
