Chapter 230: Li Guangbi's dismount and Zhang Xuan's head stick

More than 10,000 cavalry returned like a tide, and retreated like a tide. Although the Hui soldiers and horses did not commit any crimes against the people of Longshuo, but in this way, the soldiers and horses made a turn in Longshuo, and Li Guangbi, the commander of the Shuo soldiers and horses and the general of the right Weiwei, as one of the two major armies in Longshuo, could not get the news.

The town of Longshuo Domain is known as more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, there are only 100,000 people in the full battle, and this is still plus the 12,000 people brought by Zhang Xuan from Beijing. [Search for the latest updates..]

At present, there are 90,000 soldiers and horses in Longshuo, Guo Ziyi stationed in Lingzhou commands 50,000, and Li Guangbi in Xiazhou commands 40,000. One of the two governed the state capital and county of the former Longyou Domain, and the other controlled the Shuofang region. Of course, nominally headed by Guo Ziyi.

Because Li Guangbi has always been at odds with Guo Ziyi, the current Longshuo soldiers and horses are actually divided into two factions. For Zhang Xuan, this is a very tricky matter. After he arrived, the first thing to do was to reintegrate the Longshuo soldiers and horses, so that they could be condensed into an iron plate, and they could not act independently.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Guangbi, who received the military report, led more than 10,000 troops from Xiazhou and rushed to Shuofang for rescue.

Xiazhou is less than two hundred miles away from Shuofang City, but it is only a two-day march.

However, halfway through, Li Guangbi got a military report that the Hui people had withdrawn. At the same time, he also got an even more shocking news: the Duke of Lingwu County and the Governor of Longshuo are currently in Shuofang.

It stands to reason that as a subordinate, when he learned that Shangguan was in Shuofang, Li Guangbi should have rushed to Shuofang to meet him. But Li Guangbi did not go, hesitated for a while, and made a major decision that shook the whole army: to pursue the Hui army horses and go straight into the territory of the Hui Hui.

The army turned back and ran to the border.

The marching Sima Chen Yang came over on horseback, and saluted Li Guangbi on the horse, "Right marshal, the metropolitan governor is stationed in Shuofang, will we wait...... Go and meet you. ”

The Longshuo military horse has always called Li Guangbi "the right handsome," while Guo Ziyi is called the "left handsome". Of course, this is just an honorific title.

Li Guangbi smiled lightly and shook his head, "Hui raised soldiers to invade my border, and it is the duty of this commander, so I can't be indifferent." When the marshal leads the army to defeat the invading Hui army horses, it is not too late to go to Shuo to report the victory to the metropolitan governor."

Chen Yang secretly frowned.

According to the news obtained by Tanma, the Hui soldiers and horses retreated from Shuofang without a fight, apparently reaching a tacit understanding with Zhang Xuan and obtaining Zhang Xuan's permission. At this time, Xuan Zi led the army to pursue the Hui soldiers and horses...... Something is not right.

If Zhang Xuan had not yet arrived, Li Guangbi would naturally be in charge of the military affairs in the Shuofang area, and it was not uncommon for Li Guangbi to make this decision. However, now that Zhang Xuan is already in Shuofang, Li Guangbi did not report to the governor of the capital and acted directly, which has a bit of a transgression flavor.

However, Li Guangbi has led the army for many years and has deep authority in the army, and Chen Yang does not dare to say much, let alone criticize.

"Newspaper"

A horse galloped from behind, "Report to the right commander, General Gu Huaien, a servant of Shuofang City, sent someone to send an urgent report"

Li Guangbi was stunned when he heard this, and then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Judging by his mind, at this time, Fugu Huaien sent someone to send an urgent report, which was nothing more than related to Zhang Xuan, the governor of the capital.

But Li Guangbi was unwilling to meet Zhang Xuan directly.

He smiled faintly, "The march is urgent, don't see him first." After the commander led the army to defeat the Hui people, he would go to Shuofang."

After speaking, Li Guangbi galloped away, Chen Yang sighed lightly, and vaguely guessed a little bit of Li Guangbi's thoughts.

Li Guangbi has been in charge of the military for many years and has already formed his own power in the army. In this Longshuo place, he is just afraid of Guo Ziyi. For the young man who was said to be the literary and brilliant governor of the feudal town sent by the imperial court, he actually didn't pay much attention to it.

This pursuit of the Hui may not necessarily fight with the Hui people, but it is just to seek a shake of prestige and give the new governor a dismount.

Li Guangbi did have this kind of thought. It's just that his mind is heavier, and in addition to that, he wants to make things bigger.

The reason why the Hui people entered the army was related to Guo Ziyi's son Guo Yang, and if things got bigger, Zhang Xuan and the imperial court would have to open a knife to Guo Ziyi. If Guo Ziyi is taken, this town of Longshuo, in the Longshuo army, who can balance him Li Guangbi?

Li Guangbi led his army to pursue the Huifu border.

However, because it was late overnight, the Hui army and horses had already retreated to the territory of the Hui under Ge Le's strict order, and the Tang army did not meet the Hui soldiers and horses at all.

Li Guangbi did not have to fight with the Uighurs, so he pretended to be a momentum and pursued him next door for two or three days before slowly returning.

Shuofang City. The General's Mansion of Grace.

Fugu Huaien jumped out of Zhang Xuan's room with a somewhat complicated expression, holding a military report in his hand, hesitating.

Li Guangbi actually led the army to pursue the Hui army horses...... What does this mean, as a servant of the old fritter in the army, Gu Huai'en, is like a mirror in his heart.

He was thinking about it, when suddenly the door opened, and Hua Nu'er stood at the door and said lightly, "General Fugu, the governor of Dadu is invited." ”

Fugu Huaien sighed secretly, nodded, and walked in.

"Governor of the capital, the general will get the information, Li Guangbi and Lord Li led more than 10,000 people from Xiazhou to pursue Hui and go straight into the territory of Hui Hui, the current situation is unknown."

Zhang Xuan's face changed, and he stood up suddenly.

If Li Guangbi is allowed to catch up with the Hui soldiers and horses, and the two armies go to war, this matter will be a big trouble.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "This official asked you to report to Li Guangbi urgently, come to Shuofang to see me quickly, have you reported it?" ”

Zhang Xuan obviously showed signs of anger, and the servant Tu Huaien's heart trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The Governor of the Metropolis, the last general will report three times in a row," but ......"

Zhang Xuan's face gradually became gloomy.

The news that he, the governor of Longshuo, was in Shuofang must have spread long ago, and it was impossible for Li Guangbi not to know about it. Even if the military report of Fugu Huai'en was delayed, Li Guangbi should come to Shuofang to meet first, and then make a decision. He dared to raise his own troops to chase after Zhang Xuan without Zhang Xuan's consent......

Do you want to give Lao Tzu a dismount? It seems that if this Longshuo's military power wants to be recovered, I'm afraid it's not so easy? Zhang Xuan smiled coldly in his heart, but his expression became calm.

He slowly asked to get down, and said indifferently, "Quickly pass on the military order of this official, and order Li Guangbi to come to see me as soon as he sees the report." Tell him that I will only stay in Shuofang for 5 days, and if he does not come within 5 days, then he will never come to see me again."

"In addition, at the same time, it is rumored that the guards and horse masters of various states will come to Shuofang City to see me, and there will be no delay. If one person does not arrive, the official shall be appointed to engage in military law"

Zhang Xuan's voice was extremely low and cold, and Fu Gu Huaien didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately took the order.

Fugu Huai Enzhou left, and Zhang Xun came.

Zhang Xun had already heard about it, and when he saw that Zhang Xuan's face was not good-looking, he was also a little worried in his heart.

"Lord Zhang, you first take people to Lingzhou to fight the front station, and let the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of this official run first. If you hold your official token, if you disobey the order, whoever it is, you will be court-martialed."

Zhang Xuan was silent for a long time before he lowered his voice and said, "In addition, if a businessman from Wuxian comes to the door, you will settle it for the official." Remember, act confidentially and don't leak information. ”

"Yes, the lower officials will obey the orders of the Grand Governor." Zhang Xun bowed his hand and left.

Hua Nu'er walked in lightly, closed the door tightly, looked back and smiled, "It seems that this Longshuo military power is not so easy to control...... You are a civil official, and you are a Beijing official, no matter how powerful you are in Beijing, but when you come to this feudal town, people may not necessarily buy your account. ”

Zhang Xuan glanced at Hua Nu'er and smiled coldly, "I'll bring a cannon, if anyone has to go to the muzzle, it will be looking for death!" Self-inflicted, no big deal. ”

In front of Hua Nu'er, Zhang Xuan naturally spoke without scruples, directly exposing the true emotions in his heart.

Although Li Guangbi is a famous general who he wants to reuse in his scheme, if Li Guangbi refuses to be "obedient," he would rather get rid of it than leave a future trouble.

Li Guangbi actually wanted to give him a dismissal, which directly angered Zhang Xuan. He was worried that he couldn't find a chance to be powerful in the army, and Li Guangbi just sent it to the door, how could he let go of this opportunity?

"Cannons? What is a cannon? Could it be a firearm again? Hua Nu'er looked at Zhang Xuan in confusion.

Zhang Xuan was silent.

"However, your foothold is not stable, if you directly attack the generals in the army, I am afraid that it will cause the morale of the army to fluctuate." Hua Nu'er immediately said softly, "In the opinion of the slave family, it is better to turn a big thing into a small thing, and slowly figure it out." Let's talk about it when the military power is stabilized. ”

"Woman's opinion" Zhang Xuan got up disdainfully and waved his hand, "I want to see how they will mess up"

Hua Nu'er pouted and said no more.

Li Guangbi's army had returned to Xiazhou and was about to enter the city, when the army of Fugu Huaien reported.

The marching Sima Chen Yang took a captain sent by Fugu Huaien and hurried into Li Guangbi's big tent.

"Right handsome, Lord Zhang, the Duke of Lingwu County and the Governor of Longshuo, has an order" The lieutenant hesitated slightly when he passed the order. Because according to Zhang Xuan's order, this military order was to be conveyed to his face, but ......

Li Guangbi smiled indifferently, slowly got up and hugged his fists casually, "Ben Shuai listens to orders"

The captain gritted his teeth and said loudly, "The governor of the capital has an order, and it is quickly reported that Li Guangbi, the commander of Shuofang's soldiers and horses and the general of the Right Weiwei, will visit Shuofang City. Governor Zhang Dadu only stayed in Shuofang for 5 days, and if Li Guangbi did not arrive within 5 days, then he would never see him again! 、,

Li Guangbi's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he instantly became extremely red, embarrassed and angry, so angry that the corners of his mouth trembled.

Marching Sima Chen Yang was on the side, and sighed secretly in his heart: I have long heard that although this Dadu Governor is young, he is extremely strong, and he has always been Lei Xia's means, and he has quelled two palace rebellions in Beijing one after another, and he is a ruthless master. You Li Guangbi don't take him seriously, how can he be polite to you?

Zhang Xuan is the top boss, the Duke of Lingwu County, and the Governor of Longshuo, under such a military order, if Li Guangbi still can't arrive, then there is only one fate for him: dismissal, dismissal, get out of office, and leave.

originally wanted to give Zhang Xuan a dismissal, but in exchange for a blow to the head.
