By the time Li Chengliang woke up again, it was already evening.

Li Chengliang opened his eyes and saw the top of a bed, turned his head to look again, and found himself in a room.

"Someone...... Someone ...... coming."

Li Chengliang wanted to sit up, he was full of doubts and had nowhere to solve, he had no strength to sit up, his body was sore and weak, which made him very passive, and he could only open his mouth to call people, but this call, but he felt that he couldn't even shout loudly, so he could only shout quietly.

Good thing there were people in the room.

"Father! You're awake! ”

Li Rusong appeared in front of Li Chengliang with a surprised face, he quickly squatted in front of the window, looked at the old father who opened his eyes, and tears flowed out.

"Rusong? You...... There you are? ”

"Yes, father, the child is coming, the child is not filial, the child is too late, so that the father is tired so much, father, the child is not filial!"

Li Rusong's eldest was like a child in front of his old father, holding Li Chengliang's hand tightly, and crying with his head down.

"What are you crying about, Rusong, you...... When did you come, and why didn't the Father know anything about it? Also, where is the Father? What is this place? Isn't the father guarding the Bauhinia Pass? ”

Li Rusong raised his head, nodded and said: "My father is in Zijing Pass, and now we are still in Zijing Pass, but my father is overworked, stimulated, and fainted, so I rest here, the defense of Guancheng has been fully taken over by Admiral Xiao, and the Mongols have not launched an attack so far, although my father rests at ease." ”

"Xiao Ruxun is really here?"

Li Rusong nodded: "Xiao Ruxun really came, he came by boat, the emperor personally recruited him back, I had already arrived in the capital, but in order to wait for him, I waited for four days, and then rushed over with him, father, the child is not filial, let his father suffer!" ”

“…………”

Where does Li Chengliang have the heart to talk about his suffering now, and his thoughts turn back and forth in his heart, and there is only a sigh left.

"I, Li Chengliang, have been fighting for the Ming Dynasty for nearly 50 years, and in the end, I still can't escape the life of a generation of new people replacing the old, such as Song, my father's life is over, there is no hope, and the next few decades should be Xiao Jixin's glory."

Listening to Li Chengliang speak like this, Li Rusong couldn't help but be a little surprised, his father, who had never admitted defeat and was extremely competitive in his memory, actually had the day when he accepted defeat and admitted his old age?

"Father...... You...... You're not old. ”

Li Rusong said this very unconfidently.

"Not old? Rusong, you are so old, your children can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, can you still be old as a father? Fight for your father for a lifetime, in the end, you can't beat the years, in the end, it's all fate, it's all fate......"

"Father's ......"

"Okay, let's not talk about it, the emperor has decided to support Xiao Jixin, just like when Zhang Jiangling supported me to support Qi Jiguang, this is also Xiao Jixin's life, he can't escape, how many soldiers and horses do you bring? How many soldiers and horses did Xiao Jixin bring? Are you sure that the siege of Bauhinia Pass will be solved? ”

Lying on the bed, Li Chengliang suddenly came to a little spirit.

Li Rusong cleaned up his mood and said: "Back to my father, Xiao Ruxun brought 3,000 soldiers and horses and some artillery, the child brought 10,000 iron cavalry, and let the slave bring 10,000 iron cavalry, adding up to a total of 20,000, and the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side are not under the child's words."

If he faced the enemy head-on, the child was sure to win the battle, but he didn't know how Xiao Jixin arranged it, he was ordered to control all the troops in Bauhinia Pass, not controlled by Wang Shiyang, and directly obeyed the emperor's call to fight independently, and the child also had to obey his orders. ”

Li Chengliang frowned and searched for a moment, feeling that the situation was not quite right.

Let Xiao Ruxun be the commander is already an exceptional thing, and now he is independent of the army, not subject to the restraint of civilian superiors, and has the right to act cheaply, only listening to the emperor's summons, this is not the current battle mode at all, but the mode of the noble army conquest during the period of Taizu Chengzu.

"The emperor is going to train his cronies and generals, Xiao Jixin was pulled up by him, and there is no civil official as his umbrella, so he can only find the emperor as an umbrella, Xiao Jixin can fight, his prestige is extremely high, one person is comparable to 100,000 elite soldiers, the emperor does this, I really don't know what waves will be in the court after this battle.

It seems that the imperial city can not stay, such as Song, after his father goes to work, he will write to the emperor to beg for bones, and return to Liaodong to retire, after the end of this battle, you must not try to stay in the capital, you must go back to Liaodong to stay, wait and see the changes in the capital, if the father expects it to be good, this time, there will be big variables in the court. ”

After seeing through a lot of things, Li Chengliang began to try to look at what was about to happen from an outsider's perspective, and suddenly came to a lot of insights, which made him have to sigh, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, he has been an authority all his life, and he only became a bystander when most of his body was in the ground.

From the perspective of a bystander, Li Chengliang suddenly thought of some very terrible things, and even remembered some details that he missed when Xiao Ruxun left Myanmar for no reason three years ago and did not return to Beijing.

Don't......

Only now, Li Chengliang has seen and figured out some things, and he doesn't know whether this is lucky or unlucky.

"Father, what do you mean by that? What does it mean that there are going to be waves in the court? What is a big variable? ”

"You listen to your father, don't ask too much now, after the end of this battle, no matter how much credit you make, don't try to stay in the capital, go back to Liaodong, have Liaodong as the foundation, and there are slaves outside to echo, our Li clan can be in danger and not chaotic, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, at least not be easily implicated.

And, Rusong, you have to remember! At that time, if your father is gone, no one will remind you, and you must also remember for yourself that when the situation is not clear, you must strictly restrain yourself and your family, and don't get too close to anyone, whether it is Xiao Jixin or anyone, don't get too close, so that at least my life can be saved! ”

Li Chengliang suddenly warned Li Rusong very seriously.

Li Rusong felt a panic in his heart for no reason.

"Father, what do you have in mind?"

Li Chengliang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes for a long time, and was silent for a while, without saying what he thought of.

"Okay, it's too early to think about this, Rusong, you just need to remember what your father said, just do it, don't think too much, don't think too much."

Li Rusong hesitated, but did not continue to ask, and replied honestly: "Yes, father, the child remembers." ”
