Chapter 100: Battlefield Soldiers (7)

"The Qing is self-purifying, with the wisdom of the auspicious imperial history, can't you tell what gossip is?" Gao Xianzhi spoke sharply.

"Those who are ministers will worry about the ministers, and the king will humiliate the ministers to death." Ji Wen said "righteously and awe-inspiringly": "Is it that rumors are not important, what matters is that how can a minister make a saint suffer criticism?" If Gao Xiangguo is happy to be appointed as a privy envoy, the government and the opposition will naturally think that the saint and the emperor are magnificent, and the rewards and punishments are clear; If you can't resign from the national power, you really don't know where you want to put the saint! ”

Li Longji rubbed his chin with the index finger of his right hand, and Ren Gao Xianzhi and Ji Wen were red-faced, but they had no intention of drinking. When the ministers in the palace saw this, they didn't dare to interrupt.

"Gao Xiangguo, in a certain opinion, the Privy Council was created, and a famous general like Gao Xiang, who is proficient in side affairs, must not refuse." Gao Lishi noticed that the saint was already moved, so he hurriedly used his eyes to stop Gao Xianzhi, who was about to argue again, and made a round.

Yang Guozhong looked at Ji Wen with a suspicious gaze for a moment before he made up his mind and said, "What Gao Weng said is extremely true! ”

"Father, the emperor, and the sons also agree with Gao Xiangguo as a privy envoy." Li Heng secretly laughed at Gao Xianzhi and Wang Fei for lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

"Your Majesty, a certain person is used to knives and guns, dancing with sticks, and he can't write and ink, and he can't come to the privy envoy. Gao Xiangguo is both civil and military, much stronger than a certain one. "An Lushan borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

"Gao Xiangguo Yunwen Yunwu, Erchen seconded it!" Li Qi chose to accept it when he saw it, and no longer pestered Wang Zhengjian about returning to Beijing. After all, Gao Xianzhi and Li Linfu are deeply involved, and it is beneficial and harmless for him to serve as a privy envoy.

"The old minister seconded the proposal." Chen Xilie deliberately chose to speak out after King Sheng.

Weichen seconded. Zhang Jun agreed.

"Ji Qing has extraordinary insight!" Li Longji's expression was sunny and rainy: "When the day was about to be crowned king, Gao Qing was indeed a little wronged. I have made up my mind, and I am appointed as a privy envoy to assist me in commanding the world. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Gao Xianzhi reluctantly stepped forward to thank him: "Although the minister is talented and virtuous, His Majesty will not give up, and he will not give up." Ranchen remembered that during the winter solstice meeting the year before last, His Majesty said that he would discuss the border generals for a period of two years. Now that the deadline is approaching, the ministers hope that His Majesty will select the talents as soon as possible and replace the ministers at the winter solstice of this year. ”

"Gao Qing rest assured, I have my own opinions." Li Longji sat back on the royal couch and was in a happy mood: "An Qing has a high wind and a bright festival, and he voluntarily resigned as the envoy of the Hedong Festival, and I am very relieved. It's rare that Yang Qing and An Qing both recommended Ji Qing, why don't I obey? Fei Langjun continued to draft the edict, so that Cheng Ji Wen Yao led the envoy of Hedong Jiedu in the imperial history, and Fan Yang knew the soldiers and horses to make An Qingzong transfer to the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu and knew the future affairs. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Wechen is grateful! Gynwin wept with joy as he got his wish.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister has finally put down the burden, and he can concentrate on Fanyang Town." An Lushan smiled, as if he had picked up a big bargain.

"An Qing has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is really an example for the courtiers, and he can be crowned with the left servant, and he can shadow the second son." Li Longji waved his hand, and the false title and the door shadow gushed.

"Your Majesty's kindness is like the depth of the sea, and the minister's body is broken, and it is difficult to repay it. His Majesty had rewarded the group of rabbit cubs in the minister's house many times earlier, and they were all fourth- or fifth-grade at a young age. The ministers remembered the soldiers of Hedong and Fanyang, and went out to conquer Xi, Khitan, and Murowei many times, and made many meritorious deeds, but they were not promoted due to limited official positions. Therefore, the ministers are not subject to the shadow, but His Majesty is not limited to the regular qualifications, and the rewards are supercharged, and more letters are written to pay the ministers and soldiers. An Lushan wasted no time in throwing out the strategy that the noble had taught on the way to Beijing.

"An Qing is sympathetic to the generals, how can I not allow it?" Li Longji's eyes flashed: "Defending the secluded annex and conquering the Khitan are all the power of the three towns of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong, and I can't favor one over the other." Chen Qing, Gao Qing, and the Pinglu Army should be compared with the two towns of Hedong and Fanyang, and those who have meritorious service are not limited to their regular qualifications. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" An Lushan breathed a long sigh of relief, and a few traces of uncontrollable pride appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Father!" The unexpected joy made King Sheng's heart bloom.

"Damn, the good situation was disturbed by Jiwen alone and collapsed in an instant. Yang Guozhong promised Ji Wen that he was the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu and the governor of the future. Ji Wen was not satisfied with this, and turned to An Lushan. And the price code that An Lushan gave him should be the Hedong Jiedu envoy, although it is only a remote collar, but it is one step closer to entering the phase. Fortunately, Gao Xianzhi left a tail, and he could fight again during the winter solstice court. Wang Fei, who worked hard to draft the edict, thought quickly: "It's just how to kill An Lushan's arrogance at present?" Otherwise, he will despise the central authority. In addition, it is necessary to find out the channels where the news leaked, otherwise it is inevitable to repeat the mistakes in the future. ”

In the light of stone, fire, and lightning, Wang Fei had an idea, and when he presented the prepared edict to Gao Lishi, he easily sandwiched a small note about a finger wide......

The Heavenly Meridian gathered the court ministers to discuss, and the edict flew to determine the country.

Li Longji, who was sitting on the imperial couch, consciously realized that the separation of military and political affairs, the deterrence of border towns, the balance of generals, the weakening of the East Palace, and the admiration of King Sheng had all been achieved. He was about to signal Gao Lishi to announce the end of the court meeting, but he heard Gao Lishi say in his ear: "Your Majesty, it coincides with the entry of the king of Dongping County into the dynasty, and the envoys of various towns and dynasties are still in Beijing, and the Feilong Forbidden Army has achieved a small success. ”

"Good!" Li Longji, who is keen on martial arts, nodded and said, "Then when is it set?" ”

"How about the nineteenth day of the first lunar month? The Flying Dragon Forbidden Army has been training for a long time, and its morale is high, and it only needs a little rectification to ask His Majesty to review it. ”

"Good!" Li Longji stroked his palms and laughed, and said personally: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's court discussion, everything is going well, and I am very relieved. Last year, it rained heavily in the pass, but fortunately, the towns contributed to admit the displaced people and sacrifice their soldiers. Today, the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, which is organized and trained by the armor soldiers of various towns, has achieved a small success. I will perform martial arts at the Lishan camp at noon on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, and An Qing has been in the border town for a long time, so I can examine one or two to see how the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army compares with Fan Yang Jian'er? ”

"How can Fan Yangjun compare to His Majesty's Forbidden Army?" An Lushan's oily face was full of sweat.

"The king of Dongping County is too humble, and I heard that the eight thousand rivers under the command of the king of the county are unparalleled in the world, the palace

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Didn't you bring 500 elite soldiers to Beijing this time? Gao Xianzhi sneered.

"Your Majesty, the Luoluo River is just some stragglers recruited by Weichen from the Saibei Provinces, and it is nothing."

"Your Majesty, since you are a strong man selected by the king of Dongping County, you must have something extraordinary, why don't you ask the king of Dongping County to bring five hundred rivers to the camp of Lishan for review?" Colliers laughed.

"A group of miscellaneous beards who have never seen the world are not worthy of being inspected with His Majesty's Yuan Cong Forbidden Army." An Lushan shook his head and refused.

"Then it's okay for the Luoluo River and the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army to play polo after the saint's martial arts, right?" Gao Lishi smiled: "The winter is bitterly cold, Your Majesty may not have watched polo for a long time." ”

"What General Gao said is true, An Qing must not refuse." The itchy Li Longji was determined in one word.

The wind swept the dragon and tiger flags, and 100,000 bears embraced Shengluan. Yuyi is like a cloud reflecting pine snow, and Gejia Sensen brings spring cold.

On the afternoon of the nineteenth day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Tianbao (754), the spring snow in the sky like catkins could not cover the neighing of horses in the camp of Lishan.

On the polo field of the barracks, the red and black teams rode finely, driving the horses to run to the meteors, waving the cane and dancing the crescent moon, and the fight was in full swing. The most eye-catching person in the red-clothed team was Gao Xiangui, the commander of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, who rushed left and right, and the wind returned to the electric excitation, and a trace of heat appeared above his head, and as soon as the snowflakes approached slightly, they instantly turned into water droplets.

Several patches of spring snow fell on the blue spot on the left side of Lu Qi's face, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, and his already hideous face became more and more terrifying. But Lu Qi didn't care about it, and his colleagues around him also treated it as usual. When Lu Qi first came to the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, he was inevitably ridiculed because of his appearance, but he quickly used his talents to crush his peers and win respect for himself. As for the rest of the stubborn, they were intimidated by Gao Xiangui's iron fist.

Lu Qi sometimes looked coldly at the fierce confrontation of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army and the Falling River, and sometimes turned his head to look up at the emperors and courtiers who were sitting on the high platform to watch the battle, and the breeze on the heart lake was like a ripple.

"An Lushan is determined that he is not happy in his heart, but Fei Langjun, your plan was sabotaged by Ji Wen, and you missed the opportunity, have you ever regretted it in your heart?"

When he learned that An Lushan was forced by Yang Guozhong to enter the court, Lu Qi also realized that this was a good opportunity to leave the beast in Beijing and cut off the minions. Therefore, he strongly persuaded Wang Fei to win over the limelight King Sheng by unscrupulous means, in order to hit with one blow. It's a pity that Wang Fei looked forward and backwards, and took advantage of Li Ren's reason that Lord Ye was not on good terms with himself, and politely rejected Lu Qi's proposal.

"Ridiculous, what a bad excuse! Even if the lord of Suye is peerless, he is just a woman. Since Li Renzhi coveted it, why not pretend to withdraw from the love dispute in exchange for the help of Li Renzhi and King Sheng, so as to trap An Lushan in Chang'an with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai! If Gao Weng, the crown prince, and King Sheng can be twisted together, no matter how Ji Wen tosses, An Lushan will be in a catastrophe. Fei Langjun, you are extremely smart and clever, but when you meet love words, you are confused, which makes a certain sigh. ”

"Seeing that the Privy Council can't keep An Lushan, in the blink of an eye, there is a plan to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, Fei Langjun Ru can not be said to be unwitted, but the tiger will eventually get rid of it, and you will still lose this battle."

The sage parade on the battlefield, the armor of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army facing each other is distinct, the pace is uniform when stepping on the wet snow, and the queue is not chaotic when listening to the golden drum formation. The most impressive thing is the elite of the hundred battles in the army from Sifang Jiezhen, who naturally exudes a depressing and suffocating murderous aura, which makes the envoys of the court and the envoys of various vassals who accompanied the parade of the Son of Heaven hold their voices and feel awe.

The dragon warrior soldiers guarding around the high platform were stunned and speechless by the mighty military appearance of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army. Although Lu Qi couldn't see General Longwu's face clearly because he was far away from the high platform, he was convinced that Chen Xuanli's expression was definitely more colorful than the dyeing workshop in Xishi.

When the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army lined up a strict array against the spring snow, An Lushan, who was full of interest on his face, personally stepped down from the stage to examine the generals of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army one by one after receiving the permission of the sage. As Lu Qi expected, An Lushan's purpose was to search for soldiers from Fan Yangjun.

An Lushan pretended to want to be intimate with the old department and ordered them to come out, but the soldiers from Fan Yang ignored the orders of the king of Dongping County, and it was not until the Feilong general Zhang Shouyu spoke out that several Fan Yang's old troops followed the order. An Lushan, who looked embarrassed, said a few words indiscriminately, and then returned to the high platform in a gloomy manner.

"Since serving in the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, he has led his colleagues and subordinates to teach the soldiers to study the scriptures day and night, teaching them to understand the right way to serve the country with loyalty; Gao Weng was particularly tolerant of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army in terms of money, food and rewards, and many unknown soldiers in the border town were promoted to team leaders within half a year, and Chen Da, the deputy of the tooth soldier team from Beiting, was promoted to brigade commander because of his skill in riding and shooting; Zhang Shouyu, who once served as the envoy of the soldiers and horses in Hedong, brought the prestige of Zhang Shouqi, a famous general of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and even packed up the soldiers from the three towns of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong. Fei Langjun suggested through Gao Weng's mouth that the sage should take An Lushan to parade, purely to deter the high-spirited and invincible king of Dongping County. ”

Although he complained a little about Wang Fei's confusion, Lu Qi still admitted in his heart that he could not hope for Wang Fei's back. A set of strategies for training the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, claiming to be a talented man, is actually written by Wang Fei.

"But even so? After some time, An Lushan still returned to Fanyang. Hedong is nominally led by Ji Wen Yao, but it can be known that the aftermath is An Qingzong, the eldest son of An Lushan, and there is no more fig leaf than before. Pinglu Jiedu made Shi Siming and An Lushan a raccoon dog from childhood to adulthood. An Lushan's power seems to be unscathed, but his vitality is not injured, and he is still careless. ”

"It's a pity that the county lord of Zhenzhu not only didn't say anything to help that day, but took the lead in stopping it." Lu Qi, whose mind turned to Aitenggena for no reason, suddenly felt qi and blood stasis in his chest and poor breathing.

"The county lord, the county lord, the falling flowers deliberately follow the flowing water, has the flowing water ever fallen in love with the falling flowers? Just, what is so-and-so? It's not even a falling flower...... Lu Qi thought about it, his eyes were slightly wet: "I laugh at others and can't see through it, and I know that a certain person is even more stupid when it comes to ......the end."

The silver bell shakes the light snow, and the iron palm steps on the spring mud.

Unexpectedly, Tian Qian was really brave, and he was really dragged into the river

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) is difficult! Gao Xiangui, who was at a break, turned over and dismounted, and he was soaked and stretched out his arms in the tent, and while letting the Feilong Forbidden Sergeant help change his clothes, he shouted through the undulating curtain: "A certain Guan Lu Langjun is absent-minded, do you know who wins and who loses at the moment?" ”

"The score is scorching, and the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army is only one step ahead of the Falling River." Lu Qi laughed and said, "A certain person can be multi-purpose, has the senior brother forgotten?" ”

"Why are you all so smart, Fei Langjun, Lu Langjun, and the Lord of Zhenzhu County...... There is also the Lord of Xiaoyun. Gao Xiangui was very emotional. He and Lu Qi didn't know each other very well before, and it wasn't until the two of them joined the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army that they became closer.

"Life is like a tree and a flower, falling with the wind, each with its own creation." Lu Qi said casually.

"What tree and what flower?" Through the curtain, Gao Xiangui couldn't hear clearly.

"It's all innate." Lu Qi couldn't cry or laugh.

"Alas, a certain and Fei Langjun have also grown up together, but how much insight is hidden in Fei Langjun's chest, I really can't figure it out." There was a hint of loneliness in Gao Xiangui's voice.

"I can't see through it......" Lu Qi sighed.

"However, each is good in its own way. Fei Langjun is resourceful, but at the moment he has to accompany the saint and can't play polo heartily. Gao Xiangui, who changed his clothes and walked out of the tent, patted Lu Qi's shoulder.

"Fei Lang-kun also likes to play polo?" Lu Qi and Wang Fei met late, and in his impression, Wang Fei was either practicing riding and archery or was busy planning political affairs, and had no time to ride and hunt and play ball.

"He, what he likes has never been polo......" Recalling the old things in Tingzhou, Gao Xiangui suddenly felt a flutter: "In fact, the only one who really loved to play polo back then was the lord of Xiaoyun County." It's just that today is a military parade, and it's a big pity that she can't come to watch the battle. ”

"Brother Gao has been unmarried for a long time, could it be ......" Lu Qi couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"What nonsense!" Gao Xiangui half-truthed and half-false hammered Lu Qi with a punch: "My father is far away in the river, and I can't take care of a certain family affair for a while." ”

"That's good." Lu Qi couldn't figure out whether Gao Xiangui was happy or sad in his heart for a while.

"But it's also coming soon, His Royal Highness Dou Wumo, who was entrusted by my father to serve as the envoy of the Hezhong Dynasty, brought a letter to the family, saying that he and his mother have fallen in love with several daughters of the Goguryeo clan, and he will accompany Ashina Jie Shuai to Beijing during the winter solstice court meeting this year to finalize a certain marriage." Gao Xiangui was a little sullen.

"Brother Gao......" Lu Qi struggled to hug Gao Xiangui's sturdy shoulders, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

"It's fine!" Gao Xiangui shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off all the unhappiness: "Actually, I knew that I was not worthy of her, after all, it was not me who swept away the haze for her." Now I hope she is happy and gets what she wants. ”

"Brother Gao is really heroic!" Lu Qi praised from the bottom of his heart.

"It's rare to be praised by Lu Langjun." Gao Xiangui laughed, pushed Lu Qi away, turned over on his horse, raised his staff and shouted: "Sons, let Luohe taste our awesomeness!" ”

"I really envy a pure-minded person like Xiangui Langjun." Lu Qi sighed secretly: "It's just that so-and-so, where should I go......

Looking at the short door in a hundred steps, who envy the broken by the distance.

The two teams of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army and the Falling River both teams did their best, and the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and the battle reached the last moment, Gao Xiangui whisked left and right, circled and turned, and successively broke through the encirclement of Tian Qianzhen and the two Falling River Knights, and shot more than 40 steps away from the goal, laying the victory for the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army.

Long Wujun usually does not deal with the Flying Dragon Army, but at this moment he also feels honored, after all, for the Long Wu Army, competing with the Flying Dragon Army is a brotherly dispute, and the Luoluo River from Fan Yang is an out-and-out outsider.

When the generals of the two forbidden armies hugged each other to cheer and celebrate, and threw Gao Xiangui high, Lu Qi was keenly aware that the Longwu general Xing Wei did not show up in the Lishan camp today.

"This son was scared by Wang Zhun. There are many shady scenes behind Wang Weld's rebellion case, Wang Zhun returned to Beijing alone, isn't he afraid of being assassinated? Unless Li Renzhi persuaded Shi Chaoyi, he dispatched the people of the Pinglu Jinju Academy to protect Wang Zhun. Lu Qi had heard the news of Wang Zhun's return to Beijing, but he was also puzzled.

The spring breeze blows the snow all over Chang'an, adding a layer of cold in the city.

What Lu Qi didn't know was that at this moment, in Chang'an City, which was dozens of miles away from the Lishan camp, Gongsun Auntie, disguised as a female Taoist priest, was strolling in the heavily guarded Jincheng Fang in the face of flying snow.

"Wang Zhun will definitely settle accounts with Xing Wei when he returns to Beijing, but why is there nothing abnormal near Xing Wei's house for more than ten days? The people in the square are all the people of the Suye Dart Game, and they have nothing to do with Li Renzhi or the Pinglu Jinjuyuan. Fei Langjun does have some means, but most of the Su Ye dart masters are self-defeating, and they are too angry to cover up. If Thirteen Niang was still in the workshop, I wouldn't dare to swagger so much. Thinking of her favorite disciple, Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but feel sad: "It's been half a year, and Thirteen Niang is still angry with Wang Bingma, and it feels bad to be deceived. But her reaction was so fierce that she would rather bend than bend, which was somewhat unexpected. But isn't that exactly what I was looking for back then? I am already in the mud, so I hope more and more that she will be able to stay on the right path. It's just that once she learns the whole picture of what happened back then, can the master-apprentice relationship be restored? ”

Spring snow is full of air, and it looks like flowers blooming everywhere.

Aunt Gongsun raised her head and stared at the sky covered with snowflakes, and her slender eyelashes were instantly covered with crystal ice chips.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

More than 20 days later, An Lushan and his eldest son An Qingzong returned to Fanyang, and the sage not only untied the royal clothes, but also ordered Gao Lishi to personally send them to Changlepo, Jingdong.

After leaving Chang'an, An Lushan father and son drove out of Tongguan under the escort of the Luoluo River, and then took a boat down the Yellow River, and ordered the boatman to stand on the shore with a rope board, fifteen miles and a change, day and night, hundreds of miles a day, and did not get off the boat until he stepped into Youzhou, and then abandoned the boat and changed horses, slowing down the pace.

"I finally don't have to suffer anymore!" An Lushan, who had no scruples, whipped and roared: "Yang Guozhong, Gao Xianzhi, Wang Zhengjian, this account will definitely be recovered!" ”
