Chapter 33: The Spoils Conference

Li Maozhen was lying on the ground, the soul breaking spear was against his head, the long tip of the spear flashed with a piercing chill, at this moment Li Maozhen was so close to death for the first time in more than 20 years in the army, so close that he could feel the terrifying luster of the silver-white spear in front of him as long as he moved slightly, which was like a black and white impermanence in the dark, tightly wrapped around his neck.

"Li Xuanqing, stop it." The iron spears were divided into a neat path, and an old man in uniform walked briskly in the middle, followed by a group of people.

"See the marshal." The soldiers of the iron spear bowed to the old man, which can be regarded as letting Li Xuanqing know the identity of the old man, the envoy of the Lingwu Army-Han Zun. Li Xuanqing has not seen the controller of the Lingwu Army since he joined the Lingwu Army, and it seems that the image in his impression is a little different, and he is much older.

But this is not the time to say this, Li Xuanqing took back the soul breaking spear when he heard this, and also bowed and saluted, "Li Xuanqing, the commander of the Third Guard and Fourth Brigade of the Lingwu Army, has seen the marshal. "There is no need to kneel down to worship in the army as usual, so Li Xuanqing only bowed halfway and gave a military salute.

"Okay, you Li Xuanqing, dare to do something to General Li? Who gave you such guts? Han Zun stepped forward and helped Li Maozhen, who was already paralyzed to the ground, and turned his head to Li Xuanqing and yelled.

"Qi Yu Marshal, after the Shence army entered the city, they burned and looted on a large scale, and did all kinds of evil, and the people of Li suffered after the disaster, and they couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so they led the troops to drive out the Shence army and the rebellious army, and returned the people to justice. Dashuai's trip is to suppress the rebellion and save the people of the Tang Dynasty, how can he bear the suffering of the people again? Li Xuanqing raised his head when he heard this, and said in an impassioned tone.

Han Zun was stunned when he heard this, Zhang Tianhu had already told him about this before he came, but he thought of the agreement he had reached with Yang Fugong, Wang Chongrong and others of the Shence Army, at this time, for such a matter, offended the Shence Army, wouldn't the results of his own troops this time be in vain? That's why he hurried to stop Li Xuanqing after rejecting Zhang Tianhu. He saw the breakthrough of Chang'an City in the Chinese army today, and he saw Li Xuanqing's performance. But at this time, he must not destroy his plan, so after turning these few thoughts in his mind, he immediately roared at Li Xuanqing: "Military affairs are actually something that you can imagine as a hairy boy. The Divine Army has its own rules of the Divine Army, so why should our Lingwu Army interfere? Come on, Li Xuanqing offended Shangguan and killed the soldiers of the allied army, the crime is unforgivable, and he was immediately escorted to the military staff of forty, removed from all positions, and assigned to the logistics fire battalion, never to be used. ”

All the soldiers in the surrounding iron spear capital were stunned when they heard this, Han Zun's words at this time were to directly beat Li Xuanqing to death with a stick, forget about the fire head battalion, and never use it, that is to say, Li Xuanqing can only be a fire head army for the rest of his life, so after this sentence was spoken, the iron guns that were originally lined up in a neat phalanx suddenly became chaotic, and the iron guns all fought with the third guard today, Li Xuanqing's bravery and mercy in the face of the people deeply shocked the hearts of this group of iron-blooded soldiers who were stationed on the frontier and protected the people. How can you be moved to see what happened to him at this moment, the army has been protecting its shortcomings since ancient times, and if it weren't for the strict military discipline, it would have been like thunder.

Sure enough, the Du Bo, who had just fought side by side with Li Xuanqing, knelt down in front of Han Zun, and said with a solemn face: "Marshal, we will follow General Li to clear the rebellion, and there is a general's order." General Li can't be so wronged for the sake of the country and the people, and I implore the marshal to be lenient. As soon as he said this, all the soldiers behind him knelt down in unison, "I beg the marshal to take it lightly." ”

Li Xuanqing nodded secretly, knowing that Han Zun must have reached an agreement with the Shence Army, and this expedition was about to share the spoils, and his actions would directly sabotage his plan, if he was not stopped, it would be impossible to say. However, it was a bit surprising that the soldiers of the iron guns were willing to intercede for themselves.

"What do you want to do? Want to rebel? Why don't you hurry up and send Li Xuanqing to me? Want me to do it myself? Han Zun looked at the kneeling iron spear soldier and sneered.

"Brothers, I'll go with you." Just as Du Bo of the Iron Spear Capital stood up suddenly, Li Xuanqing suddenly walked over, glanced at Han Zun coldly, smiled, patted Du Bo on the shoulder and smiled, "Let's go, I'll cook for you when I go back." After saying that, he walked straight back.

This Du Bo sighed, bowed his hand to Han Zun, and followed, and as soon as he left, all the iron spears and soldiers followed.

"General Li, I'm sorry, we couldn't persuade the marshal just now." This Dubo walked forward quickly, glanced at Li Xuanqing, who had an indifferent face, and said with a ashamed face.

Li Xuanqing sighed, stopped, looked at the northwest man in front of him, shook his head and said: "I am no longer General Li, if you can afford me, call me Xuanqing, or like Chen Yu and them, call me the third child." After a pause, he continued: "You were too impulsive just now, you have to be careful not to be caught by others in the future." ”

Hearing this, Du Bo smiled and said: "Third brother, don't worry about our affairs, I have been in the army for five years, and I have fought Wen Mo twice, and the marshal will not do anything to me." Don't worry, I'll go to Commander Wan when I go back, and I'll definitely find a way to save you." ”

The people in the northwest are very straightforward and cheerful, and the things they recognize will never change easily, so Li Xuanqing didn't say much, just smiled: "I will come to our army later, I will cook for you to eat, Chen Yu and they will get back a few jars of good wine." Now please me, or be careful that I don't give you anything to eat." ”

This sentence made all the soldiers who heard the iron spear behind him laugh, and it also diluted the low and solemn atmosphere just now. Tie Liang was about to speak, but saw Hu Xiaosi in front of him hurrying with a few people.

"What's wrong? What happened? When Li Xuanqing saw Hu Xiaosi's appearance, he hurriedly asked, did he think something had happened?

Hu Xiaosi saw that the soldiers of the Iron Gun Capital were talking and stopped, Li Xuanqing smiled and said: "Say it, the back are all your own brothers, say it." ”

"Wei Shuai was dismissed, the third guard was also removed, Chen Yu and they were all being watched in the barracks." Hu Xiaosi saw Li Xuanqing's face, nodded, and said the second big news today.

"Why? Why was Wei Shuai dismissed? What about our commanders? Why didn't he speak? Before Li Xuanqing could speak, Tie Liang on the side exclaimed, the legend of Zhang Tianhu was an insurmountable monument in the Lingwu Army, so when he heard that Zhang Tianhu was dismissed, Tie Liang's reaction was even stronger than Li Xuanqing's.

"Let's go, let's go back and see. Tie Liang, you immediately go to Commander Wan to understand the situation, and then come to my camp. Li Xuanqing suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly instructed Tie Liang.

"Third child, I'll go first. I'll get to you later. Tie Liang hurriedly took the iron spear soldiers behind him and left quickly, as for Han Zun's punishment of Li Xuanqing, he had long forgotten about it, and who dared to beat Li Xuanqing with a killing stick, and offended the iron spear Du, the ace of the Lingwu Army, unless he didn't want to mix in the Lingwu Army.

Li Xuanqing didn't ask Hu Xiaosi anything, and hurried to his camp tent, only to see that the sentry posts were set up around the camp of the Fourth Brigade at some time, and they were all veterans of the Lingwu Army, and they were only allowed to enter and not leave.

As soon as Li Xuanqing entered the big tent, Chen Yu and the others immediately stood up, but they were stopped by Li Xuanqing before they could salute, "Tianxiang, tell me what's going on?" ”

"We were ordered by Commander Wan to withdraw from the encirclement and suppression, and it was only after he came back that he said that Wei Shuai had been removed from his post and did not let us leave the camp." Xu Tianxiang stood up and said what happened to him and the others.

Li Xuanqing swept his eyes and didn't find Li Tianyi, and asked, "What about Tianyi?" Wasn't he notified? ”

Hu Xiaosi said: "I have already sent someone to inform me, and it should be on the way back." After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Third child, nothing will happen, right?" Do you want us to prepare in advance? ”

Li Xuanqing frowned, and when he saw that everyone below was thinking the same thing, he smiled slightly and said, "I know in my heart, it will be fine." But what I'm going to say next must be prepared at all times, and there must be no mistakes. ”

When Xu Tianxiang heard this, a trace of essence suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he nodded secretly. I only heard Li Xuanqing say: "How many soldiers have we reorganized the third guard so far?" How's it going? ”

This is Xu Tianxiang's work, so I can only hear him say slowly: "Due to the arrangement and general orders of the third guard, we have already reorganized all the soldiers, a total of 1,400 soldiers, including Wei Shuai's direct team, which has also been given to us." By the way, Su Yang was sent to the Fourth Brigade by Wei Shuai. ”

Li Xuanqing was in a perked mood when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This is a soldier who has seen blood." Tianxiang, this matter is well done, everyone's mood and morale are fine. ”

Xu Tianxiang nodded and said with a smile: "When Wei Shuai had an accident just now, everyone was still a little commotion, but we appeased it, and now everyone wants to see you, I told them that you will find a way when you come back." This method really worked, even Su Yang said to the pro-guard team that as long as you come back, Wei Shuai will be fine. ”

"That's not the confidence that came out of today's battle?" Li Xuanqing smiled and continued to ask, "How many prisoners do we have now?" How many wounded soldiers are there? ”

"Three thousand prisoners have been assigned to the battalions," Xu Tianxiang was obviously shocked when he reported the numbers. Hou Yong and Chen Yu's swaggering personalities all felt incredible, it was too ruthless to recruit so many people in less than a day.

"Reorganize with the veterans of the Third Guard as soon as possible, eliminate all the unstable elements, and reorganize a complete army as soon as possible, you are responsible for Tianxiang, and don't show mercy when it's time to be heavy-handed." Li Xuanqing nodded, he was also very satisfied with this number, and said with a smile: "The third guard is back." ”

"Little Four, what about you? How's it going? Li Xuanqing saw that Hu Xiaosi had been looking at him, and couldn't help but smile and laugh, this guy always surprises himself.

"Third brother, not counting the cars you brought back, I have already grabbed fifteen boxes of gold and silver treasures, more than 1,000 spears, 5,000 Tang knives, 500 pairs of longbows, not counting arrows, probably no less than tens of thousands, 300 pairs of armor, and some bed crossbow carts and crossbows." After saying this, ignoring the expressions of the people below who were so surprised that their mouths were open enough to hold eggs, they said with a smile: "And the most important point, I got fifty war horses and hid them outside the city, how about it?" ”

"Little Four, I'll go, have you robbed the palace's armory?" Chen Fan, who was sitting next to Hu Xiaosi, hammered on Hu Xiaosi and shouted, "How can you rob more than us with only a few dozen people?" Tell me quickly, I'll go out and grab it later. ”

Just when everyone was talking and laughing, Li Tianyi came back, and after seeing Li Xuanqing, he said with a heavy face: "Third brother, Han Zun, this old boy, has divided everything in the warehouse with the bastards of the Shence Army and the Hezhong Army. ”

As soon as he said this, the joyful scene just now was shattered, and the dozen or so people present felt deep betrayal and heaviness for the first time, and everyone stopped talking for a while, but their eyes were focused on Li Xuanqing, everyone knew the plan that Li Xuanqing said when he came to the Lingwu Army, including Hou Yong, these latecomers knew a little, but it was also knowing this that made these recruits follow the young man in front of them with all their hearts.

"Little Si, have you found the person I asked you to find?" After a long silence, Li Xuanqing suddenly raised his head and asked, with unprecedented solemnity in his voice.

"I found it, there is a scholar named Cen Tianshi, who is said to be the descendant of the text of Shangshu Ling Cen in the Zhenguan period, where I hid the horse, and he also helped me gather a lot of people, all hiding there and waiting for your reply." Hu Xiaosi stood up and bowed, his expression as solemn as Li Xuanqing.

"Third brother, our brothers all listen to you. Decide quickly. The wind comes and the rain goes, and we don't frown. Li Tianyi, who came last, stood up and shouted.

Everyone in the camp stood up at this moment, bowed in unison, but did not speak, but the meaning was self-evident.

"Little Four, after dark, you take Tianxiang to find a way out of the camp and take all the soldiers who have been reorganized out, and Chen Yuhou Yong and the personal guards will stay. After the others left the camp, they went straight to the place where Xiao Si hid things, and in my absence, everyone had to obey Tianxiang's command. Li Xuanqing stood up and said word by word.

At this moment, everyone bowed down to receive the order, with a solemn expression and no noise.

Li Xuanqing threw the token of the flag order on his body to Hu Xiaosi, and said: "Take away all the baggage materials in the big camp, take advantage of the fact that the Lingwu Army's attention is now in Chang'an City, and quickly leave the camp." ”

"What about you, the third child?" Xu Tianxiang raised his head and asked.

"I helped Han Dashuai conquer Chang'an City, so you have to give me some benefits." Li Xuanqing got up and smiled slightly: "Little Fourth, when will Li Keyong's army arrive?" ”
