Chapter 66: The First Meeting of Li Cunxiao
They didn't know that it was not their conspiracy that was revealed, but the news that Zhu Li transmitted through Guo Qizuo, and instantly guessed how they would deal with them.
And once Zhu Li decided that Tian Lingzi and Li Sigong would jointly deal with him, Li Keyong was also very likely to intervene, so would Zhu Li dare to continue to stay in Guanzhong, so he didn't say anything, and immediately fled north, where would Tian Lingzi and others have the opportunity to show the conspiracy they designed, if it was at that time, I am afraid that the daylily would be cold.
Li Keyong and Tian Lingzi's faces were very ugly, as if they had a tendency to infighting, Li Sigong hurriedly spoke: "Tian everyone, Li Dudu, now is not the time to be accountable, it is better to quickly lead the army and gather generals, chase down the Shuozhou army, and kill Zhu Li is the most important thing." ”
"Yes, Li Guogong's words are extremely true, what we have to do now is to announce to the world, announce Zhu Li's conspiracy to rebel, and send troops to pursue them, this is what matters." At this time, Li Xiaochang also spoke out to comfort.
After Li Sigong and Li Xiaochang's interruption, Tian Lingzi also knew that this was not the time to complain to each other, so he no longer continued to blame Li Keyong, and instead said: "The Shuozhou army will return to the north at dawn, and it has just been half an hour since then. ”
"Don't be so troublesome, I sent Cunxiao to command the three thousand Flying Tiger Army early in the morning, and pursued it at the end of the rank, with the strength of Cunxiao, accompanied by the strength of the Three Thousand Flying Tiger Army, it is definitely not difficult to drag Zhu Li." Li Ke is full of confidence.
"What we need to do now is to continue to send out a large army to keep up with them; At the same time, we should also send a message to the northern states as soon as possible, so that they can try to stop the Shuozhou army, and I don't believe that Zhu Li can still give birth to wings and fly back to Shuozhou. ”
As soon as these words came out, Tian Lingzi's eyes lit up at the same time, if the fast horse sent a message to the states and ordered them to help intercept the Shuozhou army, even if they couldn't catch up with Zhu Li for a while, they were not afraid that they wouldn't be able to catch up with Zhu Li in the end, it was indeed a clever move.
does not mention how the four members of the conspiracy planned to pursue Zhu Li, but only said that Zhu Li led the Shuozhou army, and as soon as he arrived at Weiqiao, there was a scout Pegasus to report: "Report, Dudu, there is a team of cavalry, and the tail has chased up, looking at their banner, it should be Shatuo people." ”
When Zhu Li heard this, he expected Li Keyong to intervene horizontally, and he didn't want him to face this person first, Zhu Li turned his head to look at Shi Yan, and said seriously: "Shi Yan, you urge your subordinates to cross the river quickly, I will meet them first, and try to delay for a while." ”
"Governor ......." Shi Yan wanted to speak and stopped.
"Needless to say, now is not the time for mother-in-law, hurry up." Zhu Li's face was expressionless, and he scolded lightly.
"Nuo" Shi Yan's face was solemn, although helpless, but he immediately surrendered his orders and left, he understood that as long as he urged the army to cross the Weiqiao Bridge quickly, he could help the governor get out of danger as soon as possible, so he tried his best to urge the army to act, and refused to relax at all.
After instructing Shi Yan, Zhu Li turned his head to look at the three thousand Yue cavalry behind him, and said loudly: "All the tooth soldiers come with me, and the rest of the soldiers quickly cross the river." ”
Although the soldiers of "Nuo" had doubts on their faces, they still immediately responded to the order.
On the south bank of Weishui, Zhu Li led 800 tooth soldiers, came to the rear of the Shuozhou army, and waited quietly for Li Keyong's Shatuo chasing soldiers.
Probably less than half a pillar of incense, Li Cunxiao, Xue Atan, An Xiuxiu and other three fierce generals led the three thousand Flying Tiger Army to the rear of the Shuozhou army.
Yaoyao saw Zhu Li Hengspear standing there immediately, as if he had been prepared, as if he was waiting for them. The three of them didn't dare to be careless, and the Flying Tiger Army was two or three hundred meters away from Zhu Li, but Li Cunxiao waved his hand to stop the advance, and slowly stopped.
Zhu Li raised his eyes and frowned slightly, if he said that among all the generals in Chang'an at this moment, who he was most unwilling to face, it was obviously this Li Cunxiao, not how powerful Li Cunxiao was in commanding the army, but this person was too fierce, in the era of cold weapons, the role of an invincible general, although compared with the atomic bomb of later generations, it seems to be a bit exaggerated, but it is no less than the deterrence of thousands of catties of explosives.
Li Cunxiao's bravery, perhaps because of his debut, others know very little, but after all, Zhu Li is from later generations, how can he not know the other party's catties, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Cunxiao is the absolute No. 1 general in this era, even if Wu Mourning is here, most of them are not opponents.
Looking around, I saw Li Cunxiao wearing an iron helmet and iron armor, holding Bi Yan Laos, carrying a Yu Wang lance, carrying a bow on his shoulder, lightly knocking the oolong horse under his crotch, and rushing out of the formation, facing the tens of thousands of Shuozhou troops behind Zhu Li, like nothing, and galloping to a place two hundred meters away from Zhu Li, he stopped his horse and waved at Zhu Li and said: "Ahead is the anti-thief Zhu Li?" ”
When Zhu Li heard this, his heart was a little calm, fortunately he didn't start fighting immediately without saying a word, he needed to delay time now, if it was nonsense, he would be happy to accompany him.
With a cold snort, Zhu Li knocked the horse's belly lightly and rushed out of the formation, the two were a hundred meters apart, he stopped his horse and raised his head to the other party and said: "In the name of the thief, please redeem Zhu Mou, I dare not be ashamed, His Majesty the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty is far away in Chengdu, Zhu Mou is the general of the imperial court Sanpin Zuo Wuwei, Your Majesty has not yet opened his mouth to convict me, how can others say that they will be convicted." ”
The ancients confronted and conquered, and paid attention to a famous division, and Li Cunxiao could not say that Zhu Li was a thief, and Zhu Li obediently admitted it, which not only damaged his reputation, but also lowered the morale of his subordinates.
Besides, even if Zhu Li did not accept this edict, he himself was also General Zuo Wuwei, Shan Yu Daduhu, and the member of Zheng Sanpin, not everyone could convict him casually, Emperor Xizong was far away in Chengdu, since he did not spread the word that Zhu Li had rebelled, relying on Tian Lingzi's conviction alone, he couldn't say anything anyway, of course he wouldn't admit it.
Li Cunxiao is brave and invincible, he directly opened his mouth to declare that Zhu Li is a thief, originally in order to take the lead and become famous, but Zhu Li's rhetoric made him stagnate, and he argued: "In the Taiji Palace, you resisted the decree because you despised the Son of Heaven and disobeyed the court; When attacking the grass army, you were clearly the king of Qinqin in the south, but secretly instructed your subordinates to attack the Hetao, raid the place, and rebel, what is not a rebellion? ”
"Hahaha" Zhu Li heard this, laughing, laughter, full of tearing the sky, whistling the nine heavens like injustice, with the laughter and pause, he looked right, shouted: "In the Taiji Palace, Tian Lingzi enshrined the generals of King Qin, but the holy decree of Zhu was left unannounced, this matter is obvious to everyone, if it is said that he despises the Son of Heaven and rebels against the dynasty, he Tian Lingzi does it so obviously, why doesn't the general crusade against him?" ”
"General Li said that Zhu disobeyed the order in the Taiji Palace, but you saw it with your own eyes?"
"The general said that I was clearly the king of Qin, and secretly sent people to attack the Hetao, where is the evidence for the general?"
"If Zhu is not the true king of diligence, let me ask if Meng Juehai, the fierce general of the grass army, was captured by Zhu himself?"
"If Zhu is not the true king of Qin, outside the city of Yiting, the camp is still open, but Zhu himself braved the rain and burned the camp?"
"If Zhu is not a sincere and diligent king, on the shore of Weishui, he formulated a strategy to attack the east and the west, hide the sky and cross the sea, and recover Chang'an, but it is from Zhu's hand?"
......
The more Zhu Li spoke, the more passionate he became, and a series of impassioned questions made Li Cunxiao speechless, the entire Flying Tiger Army was silent, and the entire Shuozhou Ya soldiers were excited.
Zhu Li's attack on the Hetao may not be right in the eyes of the people of the moment, but he came from later generations, and he clearly knew that this fertile land, this land that the Han martyrs exchanged for blood and tears, was because of the incompetence of the party members, and finally fell into the hands of the Khitans.
Hetao not only has fertile fertile land, but also rich resources and minerals, rather than falling into the hands of the Khitans in the future, let them use it to strengthen themselves, and in turn bully the people of the Central Plains, why can't they take it over as soon as possible, use these resources to strengthen the Han people themselves, but also allow the Han people to occupy some advantages in the future battle against the Khitans.
Thinking about it like this, Zhu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with him taking the Hetao, but felt that it should be like this, it was like this, otherwise it would be treason and sin.
Seeing that the other party was speechless, Zhu Li continued: "The general didn't answer, it's not that the general is out of words, but these things are ironclad facts, and there is no gimmick. In fact, the general is still chasing after me, for what reason, the general naturally understands in his heart. ”
"The general is here, not for the public, but for Li Ke's own personal grudge against Hetian Lingzi, why list some crimes to frame Zhu?" In a word, Zhu Li looked at Li Cunxiao playfully.
The mistake is that Li Cunxiao wants to take the lead and become famous, so he talked nonsense with Zhu Li, he shouldn't stop the horse and talk nonsense to Zhu Li, now instead of suppressing the morale of Zhu Li and the Shuozhou army, it has aroused their righteous indignation, although Zhu Li's strength is not as good as him, but when it comes to eloquence, he Li Cunxiao can't catch up with Zhu Li.
Li Cunxiao's thin little face was suffocated by Zhu Li's series of aggressive questions, and he was so suffocated that he turned red, and it took a long time before he said bluntly: "No matter what, General Ben was ordered to pursue you, and you just wait to die." ”
"Hahaha, the general finally has nothing to say, wouldn't it be better to do it earlier, because this is your true face, but if you want Zhu's life, it's not so easy, come and get it." After Zhu Li laughed, his face sank, and he replied fiercely, although he knew that he was invincible, Zhu Li still had to fight, how to know the gap without fighting, and how to improve without knowing the gap, not to mention that there were countless comrades behind him, and he had to fight.
