Chapter 87: Xue Rengui asked Xuan Shijing
"Back to Hou Ye, I am waiting for Hou Ye in the hall now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" said the porter.
If it was usual, the concierge would not keep people, today is because everyone in the house knows that the marquis of his own family will definitely come back early when he participates in the banquet in the palace, and Xue Rengui said to the concierge that he can wait, so the concierge reported to the housekeeper Zhong Zishuo and let the person in.
"Yes, got it." After speaking, Xuan Shijing walked towards the house.
After returning from Liaodong, I never saw Xue Rengui again, when the army withdrew, Xue Rengui was left in Liaodong by His Majesty Li Er, I didn't expect to be transferred back for the New Year, this time Xue Rengui returned to Chang'an, it seems that this is to be promoted and make a fortune.
In the hall, Xue Rengui sat on a chair on one side, and the servants of the house brought pastries and tea.
"Brother Xue, don't come unharmed." Xuan Shijing smiled and walked into the hall.
"Master Hou." Seeing Xuan Shijing coming in, Xue Rengui hurriedly got up and bowed.
"Brother Xue doesn't have to be so polite, I don't know when Brother Xue will return to Chang'an?" Xuan Shijing walked to the chair next to him, sat down and asked.
"I just arrived in Chang'an the day before yesterday and settled in Chang'an City, and I guess I will stay in Chang'an City most of the time in the future." Xue Rengui said.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty ordered you to be called back, how about it, you have been promoted." Xuan Shijing quipped.
Speaking of this, Xue Rengui was a little embarrassed, when Liaodong attacked Liaodong City, Xue Rengui was out of the limelight in front of His Majesty Li Er, and then in the battle of Anshi City, an arrow hit the enemy general, which was really the head of the general in the million army, which left a deep impression on His Majesty Li Er, so whether it was rewarding the generals after the battle of Liaodong or rewarding meritorious deeds at the Yuan Ri Dynasty meeting, His Majesty Li Er did not leave Xue Rengui behind.
"From the right leader of the army, General Lang was promoted to General Zuo Wuwei, and he still has to return to Liaodong to lead the troops after the year." Xue Rengui said.
Xue Rengui's promotion speed is really fast enough, in just one year, from an ordinary soldier to being able to enter the court of the Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as a lot of accumulation.
The luck of the people that His Majesty Li Er likes is generally not too bad, not to mention that Xue Rengui is a person with real skills, and his position will not stop there.
"Well, the army has always paid attention to seniority, Your Majesty asked you to go to Liaodong to lead the troops, this is good, it is only good for you, there is no harm in it." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
Now there are enough nobles in the Tang Dynasty, the batch of nobles that Li Yuan promised to go out at the time of the founding of the country are old-school nobles, accounting for the majority in the court, and these people like Cheng Biting Jin are new-school nobles, relying on their military exploits step by step, if Xue Rengui wants the title in the future, he can only rely on the real war, and now that the Tang Dynasty is stable, where is the source of the war? One is the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Northwest and Western Regions, and the other is Liaodong, push it back, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and then it will be Tubo.
Xue Rengui nodded thoughtfully.
Xuan Shijing picked him up with one hand, and when he said this, he would definitely not lie to him, and there was no need to lie to him.
"Goguryeo Quangai Suwen wolf ambitions, Liaodong will definitely not be too peaceful, as long as Quangai Suwen lives for one day, the friction between Goguryeo and Liaodong will not be less, plus Silla and Baekje, as well as the Wa Kingdom across the sea, the northeast, the situation is not simple, if you want to gain a foothold in Liaodong, you have to study the relationship between them, like a way, consume them, and in the end, completely incorporate that place into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so that since then, the feudal marquis worships the prime minister, and it is unstoppable." Xuan Shijing analyzed.
"Master Hou thinks it's feasible?" Xue Rengui asked: "Now the Tang Dynasty does not have many troops in Liaodong, and the ministers in the court think that the current Liaodong does not need to place too many troops. ”
"Your Majesty's personal expedition was decided by the First World War, and many people felt that Goguryeo had been scared by the Tang Dynasty. Even Baekje, because the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Liaodong, all withdrew their troops from the occupied Silla city, it cannot be said that they do not understand martial arts, but it can only be said that this time to go to Goguryeo, in addition to the military generals, there are not many people in the DPRK to support, if it is not for His Majesty's tough attitude, and the household department is difficult to speak, I am afraid that this battle will also be difficult to fight. Xuan Shijing said.
"The situation in the court is complicated, it seems that His Majesty asked me to lead the troops in Liaodong, which is really a good errand." Xue Rengui said with a smile.
Most of Xue Rengui's exploits in his previous life were established in the "magical land" of Liaodong, but there is one thing that Xuan Shijing does not like very much, that is, Xue Rengui's kindness to those Goguryeo people.
Benevolent government is a good thing, but for a despicable people, no amount of mercy can satisfy their greedy heart.
"There are good and bad, don't talk too much." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "After all, the general will not be affected by the foreign monarch's life, and in the future, when you reach the moment when you have a heavy army, even if you want to avoid it, you can't avoid it." ”
"But what can be done?" Xue Rengui asked.
"Personally, I don't have a good impression of Goguryeo and the land of Sanhan, if I lead the troops, I will never be merciful, throughout history, this kind of foreign race, only if it is crippled and destroyed, can it be exempted from a hundred years of trouble, and the implementation of benevolent government, once there is a change in Liaodong in the future, it is the time for them to bite back."
"What does Master Hou mean by dealing with Quangai Suwen? Can the imperial court agree? Xue Rengui asked.
"When you have heavy troops in Liaodong and your military achievements are world-famous, even if you slaughter the entire Goguryeo, you will be fine, there is a word called self-pollution." Xuan Shijing said: "Your Majesty will not be afraid of your merits, what is really red and jealous is some nobles in the court." ”
When Xue Rengui heard this, he fell into deep thought.
Now that His Majesty is in power, the court is still clear, but who can think of the future, what the Hou Ye said to himself now is all things that will be used to save his life in the future.
"Thank you, Master Hou!" Xue Rengui stood up from his position and respectfully saluted Xuan Shijing.
"Brother Xue doesn't have to be like this." Xuan Shijing stood up and helped Xue Rengui up: "Brother Xue is a talented person, and he was just a dormant shoal before. ”
Xuan Shijing knew that meeting Xue Rengui would be the only one in the past two years, and after the first day, Xue Rengui would stay in Chang'an for a day or two at most, and then he would leave for Liaodong, and it would be difficult to meet again.
For Xue Rengui, Xuan Shijing always has a different feeling in his heart, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty is a famous general who he "pulled up", this feeling is a little subtle, so for Xue Rengui, Xuan Shijing is willing to help him.
Moreover, helping him is very likely to affect the situation in Goguryeo, which is what Hyun Se-kyung is happy to see.
