Chapter 90: The Tragedy of the Famous General
"Lord, you don't really plan to see Li Cunxiao, do you?" Early in the morning, Li Xuanqing was putting on his armor, and when he saw Cen Tianshi, he hurriedly rushed in.
Li Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, he asked someone to send me a letter and ask me to go to his military camp to see him." We've been in love with him before, so if he can ask me out, he might be in trouble. Li Xuanqing was a little unsure why Li Cunxiao saw him. It stands to reason that now that the two armies are facing each other, his situation is not very good, and if he can't make an appointment at this time, he will be suspicious of Li Keyong.
"My lord, you don't know that this is the military camp of the Shatuo people, do you? Even if it's to repay the favor, you won't be in danger alone, right? In case Li Cunxiao has any evil intentions, how should the lord get out? Who should these hundreds of thousands of Tiance soldiers and thousands of Chinese people count on? Cen Tianshi suddenly became anxious when he saw that Li Xuanqing didn't speak, and his voice became louder, so frightened that the guards at the door thought that the two had quarreled.
Li Xuanqing pressed Cen Tianshi on the chair next to him and said with a smile: "Sir, please rest assured, if Li Cunxiao wants to deal with me, he doesn't need to lead me to his military camp at all." Moreover, the eldest husband has clear grievances, and when we were weak, he reached out to help, and asked me to meet today, even if there is a real ambush, I will go. ”
Cen Tianshi didn't know what to say for a while when Li Xuanqing's words were said, but he heard Li Xuanqing continue: "Sir, don't worry, I have already arranged it, Tianxiang will take it, and if I want to leave with my martial arts, no one will be able to keep me." Besides, if we don't solve his affairs well, we will really not be able to make a move in tomorrow's battle. ”
Cen Tianshi knew what Li Xuanqing meant, sighed a little helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, but the lord said okay, I must come back before sunset, otherwise I will definitely lead the troops with Tianxiang to rob him." ”
Li Xuanqing nodded, got on his horse with a gun, and left the camp and began to gallop towards the opposite side. To be honest, I don't blame Cen Tianshi for being scared, the scouts on both sides galloped back and forth along the way, and they were all red-eyed, and they didn't care about Li Xuanqing's identity at all, and even the secret guards of the Tiance Army almost attacked several times, so there was no way to simply Li Xuanqing and not bring his personal guards, so that Baixin and them turned back, and let the jade lion throw off his hooves and run away alone. The distance between the two armies was only about ten miles, so the jade lion's footsteps quickly saw where the other party's military camp was.
The camp tents of the Shatuo people are arranged with the characteristics of the grassland, and the snow-white tents rise up on the ground, endlessly, and there are constantly cavalry rushing back and forth in the open space in the barracks, whistling and whistling, bringing up bursts of smoke and dust.
Li Xuanqing was about to observe, but a hearty man's voice came from his ear, "Brother, this way." ”
Li Xuanqing turned around to look, only to see that Li Cunxiao appeared there not far from him at some time, looking at Li Xuanqing and beckoning.
The jade lion seemed to know the old master, and with a hissing roar, he threw off his broken steps and rushed directly to Li Cunxiao's side, rubbing Li Cunxiao's clothes affectionately.
Li Xuanqing turned over and dismounted, fell to the ground, and said with a smile: "Big brother is fine, Xuanqing hasn't seen big brother for two years, and big brother is a lot older." "To be honest, when I saw Li Cunxiao this time, I really found that he was a lot older, and his original god-like posture was a little awkward in his eyes at the moment, Li Xuanqing also had a sour nose, and as soon as he grasped Li Cunxiao's hand, he didn't know what to say for a while. However, Li Cunxiao was open-minded, patted Li Xuanqing's shoulder and said with a smile: "Good brother, big brother knows that you can come, let's go in, I want to test how well you have practiced in the past two years." After speaking, he pulled Li Xuanqing directly into the gate and walked towards the inside of the barracks, and the jade lion obediently followed behind the two, following in unison.
Li Xuanqing's eyes swept around, and he also said with a smile: "Speaking of drinking brother, you have to let me, this thing is born to clash with me, I have practiced for a long time and I haven't made any progress, today I have to ask for advice, it's a shame to say it, some time ago we had a dinner at the beach in Wuliangsu, and I actually let Chen Fan's stunned young man put me down, and I almost fell into the water with one foot, which has become a big joke for Tiance Army this year." ”
Li Xuanqing's chattering words also made Li Cunxiao slightly stunned, and then reacted, with his world's best strength, it is impossible for the people around him to escape his eyes, so a trace of anger flashed on his face but was pulled by Li Xuanqing, shook his arm slightly, and said with a smile: "Big brother, to be honest, I am about to get married, I said that the dowry you prepared for me is ready, you can't let me go to pick up my kiss empty-handed, right?" ”
Li Cunxiao didn't know what Li Xuanqing meant, and he smiled when he heard the words: "You said it earlier, I said it earlier, I brought your sister-in-law over, how can you understand this kind of thing, don't worry, I'll find someone to pick up your sister-in-law and them in a while, and by the way, prepare a dowry for you, how can you go bare-handed, it's not that you don't have parents." As he spoke, he pulled Li Xuanqing to the side and into an independent tent.
Li Xuanqing sighed slightly, although this camp tent is also very large and luxurious, it is far from the big tent of the Chinese army. According to the habit of the steppe tribes to set up camp, the tent where the main general or the Great Khan lived was in the middle position, and the same was true in wartime, only the leading general would place the tent near the edge so that he could enter the battlefield at any time.
"Big brother, do you want me to take action and vent your anger?" Li Xuanqing glanced outside, and suddenly said in a low voice.
Li Cunxiao's face changed slightly, but after all, he sighed, shook his head, and didn't say a word. But his pale expression told Li Xuanqing about his current situation. This scene also made Li Xuanqing shake his head helplessly, if he made a move, he was afraid that it would be more difficult for Li Cunxiao to gain a foothold in the Shatuo people in the future. It's just that he can't understand why Li Cunxiao is making such a big deal even if he is catching up with himself, for fear that others won't know that he is banqueting Li Xuanqing. However, Li Cunxiao didn't say that he didn't ask, and some things can only make the other party more sad to put it bluntly, so Li Xuanqing smiled, "I said big brother, why didn't you prepare any wine and food when you invited me to drink, I can tell you, I haven't eaten since last night, I'm just waiting to eat your big family today, hurry up and serve the food and wine, let's talk while eating." ”
Li Xuanqing's words made Li Cunxiao react, and his heart warmed for no reason, and he hurriedly beckoned the guards outside the door to deliver the wine and food that had been prepared a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I'm old now, come on, let's have a drink first." After speaking, he drank a big bowl, wiped his mouth, and said: "It is worthy of my good brother Li Cunxiao, and he dares to come to the appointment alone, which makes me feel a little relieved as a brother." ”
Li Xuanqing saw that his expression was different, put down the wine glass, and said slowly: "Big brother has been non-stop in the past two years, going back and forth, and rarely goes home to see his sister-in-law, right?" ”
Li Cunxiao let out a long sigh when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Things are changing too fast, brother, that is, I can only find someone to talk to when you come today." The eldest brother has not had a happy day in the past two years, alas. With a long sigh, he exhausted the pain and sadness of such a long time, and also expressed Li Cunxiao's grievances and helplessness.
Li Xuanqing silently listened to Li Cunxiao chattering about the bits and pieces of the past two years, and every time he said something, Li Cunxiao had to pour himself a big cup, and he drank a big pot after a while. Li Xuanqing waved his hand to dismiss the guards on duty beside him, and sighed slightly while handing Li Cunxiao the wine jug on his side.
In history, Li Cunxiao was because his martial arts were too high, and his prestige in the hearts of Shatuo people gradually rose with the improvement of his military exploits, so that Li Keyong felt that his status was threatened, and Li Cunxin continued to sow discord from it, which further deepened Li Keyong's suspicion of him, and he would gradually cut Li Cunxiao's military power and power. A generation of famous generals, the legend of five generations and ten countries, the god-like man in front of Li Xuanqing was finally killed by a car crack, so far Li Xuanqing can't help but sigh as long as he thinks of that period of history.
The Li Cunxiao in front of him does not have the unbeatable demeanor described in history at all, just a drunk man pouring out his troubles and grievances. All this made Li Xuanqing wonder, according to historical records, this time should not make Li Keyong so suspicious of Li Cunxiao? Is it because of yourself? But since he went to Fengzhou, in order not to cause him trouble, he has never had any contact with Li Cunxiao?
"Brother, don't you know, although the eldest brother and I are ranked among the thirteenth Taibao, but in my eyes, there are all living beings in the world in this world, except for you, brother, everyone else is a fart. Even Li Cunxin's goods can actually climb on my head, and in front of me, I would have kicked him back to his hometown. Li Cunxiao was just talking about his battle with Zhu Quanzhong on the Eastern Front, but as he spoke, he suddenly talked about Li Cunxin, and immediately scolded, "Brother, the last time I heard that you caught Li Cunxin in the grassland, you should have cut this scourge with one sword, don't take care of me." Big brother, I can have today because of this villain, if he hadn't muttered in front of his father-in-law, why would I have fallen here? There are also Li Siyuan and Li Cunjin, there is no good person, brother, let me tell you, this time it was Li Siyuan and Zhou Dewei who instigated their father-in-law to attack you in the back. ”
Li Xuanqing looked around, walked over and pulled Li Cunxiao and said with a smile: "Big brother, you drank too much, don't say this." Let's just talk about the old days today, and we won't talk about that. Before he finished speaking, Li Cunxiao stepped back, and continued in his mouth: "Good brother, I'm not drunk, I know what I'm talking about." You don't care, just let him listen if he wants to. I, Li Cunxiao, am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and worthy of the kindness of my father, so I don't have to be afraid. I just said something, you see you interrupted. ”
Li Xuanqing said with a smile: "Speaking of the fight you had with Wang Yanzhang in the east. Big brother, do you know this Wang Yanzhang? ”
Li Cunxiao shook his head, he was also a little sober, knowing that Li Xuanqing deliberately diverted the topic, and this remark also made him feel a lot happier in his heart, and he could finally find someone to talk to after such a long time, so he smiled and said: "Good brother, I keep your good brother in my heart." That Wang Yanzhang is really a man, which is rare. It's just that the martial arts are too bad compared to our brothers. Last time I played against him once in Luzhou, he didn't catch me three moves. ”
Li Xuanqing smiled bitterly: "Big brother, your martial arts are a pervert, can't you compare with you, right?" Besides, it's good to be able to pick you up three moves, and it is estimated that no one in the world can walk through more than three moves in your hands. ”
"I'm a pervert, you kid is a pervert, okay? You're not even twenty this year, are you? At such a young age, he can be a prince, and Yang Fugong, who can still fight, is a dead eunuch who is defeated and retreated. There is no saying in martial arts, to be honest, do you want us to go out of the camp to compete? It's been a long time since I've spoken to anyone. Let's go, I saw that you came here with a spear today, so you were prepared. After speaking, he pulled Li Xuanqing and walked out without saying anything.
Li Xuanqing laughed and said, "Okay, today, I, as a brother, will accompany my eldest brother to have a good fight, no matter what happens to him tomorrow, just have a good time today." Reaching out, the soul breaking spear next to him suddenly came into his hand.
The two walked hand in hand to the open space in front of the barracks. Li Cunxiao looked at the jade lion next to him who ran over with his war horse and said with a smile: "Brother, horse battle or foot battle?" The choice is yours. ”
Li Xuanqing touched the Soul Breaking Gun in his hand, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Foot battle, who will fight with you?" Do you still need to fight horse wars? I don't think I'm much better than that unlucky ghost Wang Yanzhang. Foot combat can still take advantage of you. Come on. Stretching out his hand, he made a gesture and saluted Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao didn't say much, nodded and then suddenly shook the long lance in his hand, and a burst of dark black light burst out on the ground, followed by the sound of wind and thunder, and a shocking murderous aura enveloped the audience in an instant, and even at this moment, the Shatuo soldiers near the barracks rushed to a burst of shock. At this moment, the Soul Breaking Spear in Li Xuanqing's hand suddenly burst out with a silver-white brilliance, and the spear was born like a dragon, fighting against Li Cunxiao strongly.
The duel between the two instantly attracted a large group of Shatuo people to come and watch, and there are few people in the world who can fight against Li Cunxiao, to be precise, Li Xuanqing is alone so far. If you don't watch the big battle between these two, can you still call it a soldier? So almost as soon as the two of them exchanged hands, these Shatuo soldiers spontaneously surrounded them, wanting to feast their eyes.
And at this moment, a group of people appeared strangely behind a slightly protruding small dirt bag in the far side of the Shatuo military camp, if it weren't for the fact that the battle between the two made this land move slightly, outsiders would not know that there were people hiding in this place.
It was also at this time that the commander of the Shatuo cavalry, who had been invisible since the start of the war, also appeared, and it was Li Siyuan that Li Cunxiao said before.
