Chapter 21: Saving the Danger Zhan Fei is ambitious and suspicious of Xuan Ce and is rewarded
The original text continues, and the book continues from the previous one. Although this Li Jing has a good brain, he is not much stronger. When he found out that he had entered the ambush circle set up in advance by the Heavenly Pillar King, and looked at the Tuyuhun soldiers all over the mountains, he suddenly felt a little timid. No matter who is in a desperate situation, there is a kind of thought of putting death and resurrection, of course, this Li Jingheng is no exception. After thinking about it, there is Liangzhou City behind him; The father was bound to come to answer, and a plan for a central flowering came to mind; Then give the order to go down and wait for help!
Li Jingheng looked at Murong Red, who was standing in front of him, and then angrily reprimanded: "You despicable villain, you have made such indiscriminate means, shameful!" Murong Red sneered back: "It's a shame that you pride yourself on being familiar with military books, this is called a soldier who is not tired of cheating!" "So the enemies were very red when they saw each other; In this way, the hand-to-hand battle was carried out, and the generals were killed. And the King of the Heavenly Pillar commanded this soldier to keep shrinking the encirclement, waiting for his so-called great prey. With just a cup of tea, Li Jingheng has already suffered more than 500 casualties, and he gradually felt physically exhausted; If you continue like this, you can only sacrifice your life for the country here!
In its desperate moment, but in the distance, a tiger general led 5,000 elite cavalry into the encirclement! This person is Wei Chi Zhanfei, I saw him taking the lead, charging forward, stabbing left and right, rampage, starting from his hands, his clothes and armor were flat, and the blood was gushing like a spring. However, it was said that the king of Tianzhu, who was watching the battle on this mountain, saw this general, and everywhere he went, he was unstoppable, and he couldn't help but ask: "Who is this, who has such courage?"
To say that this captain Chi Zhanfei is not inferior to the previous generation of famous generals Li Yuanba. It didn't take much effort, and dozens of large and small sergeants had already been killed. At this moment, the Heavenly Pillar King inadvertently felt a chill! At this time, I saw a spy rushing over, bowing down and reporting: "Marshal Qiyu, Li Daozong has led most of the army and horses to be pressed by black, rolling towards the flank of the Two Realms Mountain!" ”
"Probe again, find out how many soldiers and horses it has?" The Heavenly Pillar King then ordered again!
When Li Jingheng was rushing to kill, he saw that Yu Chi Zhanfei was so brave, and his expression was also very encouraged! After Murong Red's rush just now, he had already ruined his central flowering strategy. At this moment, he just wanted to escape from the encirclement as soon as possible, and then ordered the remaining sergeants to retreat towards Wei Chi Zhanfei while fighting! In just the time of a stick of incense, the two have already joined forces. This lieutenant Chi Zhanfei immediately comforted loudly: "Don't be afraid, there is a general!" The marshal had already led a brigade of men. Li Jingheng was desperate, and there was an inexplicable sense of gratitude in an instant, but the arrogant energy was still reflected on his cheeks!
Seeing that the two armies were combined, and the Tianzhu King had already learned the exact number of military horses in Liangzhou City, he was also shocked. Part of his purpose has been achieved at this moment! Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by the scheming Li Daozong, he immediately ordered the soldiers, withdrew the encirclement, and slowly retreated to the camp!
In this way, the Tuyuhun soldiers loosened the encirclement when Li Daozong's counter-encirclement was about to be tightened. At this moment, Li Jingheng looked at the retreating Tianzhu King, and the idea of flowering in the center of it once again rushed to his mind, and he was about to wave his army to cover up the killing; But he was stopped by the very sober Wei Chi Zhanfei immediately, and casually strangled it in his thoughts! This strategy is not very proper, it is not advisable, there are many loopholes, how can the Tianzhu King use his troops like a god, how can he be calculated by such a scheme, so this Li Jingheng can only give up helplessly!
As a result, a group of Tang Dynasty soldiers watched this Tianzhu King and Murong Lei lead the soldiers away! After a while, Li Daozong had already led the army and arrived here. looked at Li Jingheng and Wei Chi Zhanfei, who were covered in blood, and then looked at the Tuyuhun soldiers who had fled. immediately reprimanded Li Jingheng categorically: "Don't hurry up and roll back to Liangzhou for me!" "At this moment, everyone thought a lot......
In this handsome tent in Liangzhou City. I saw Li Jingheng tie his hands and kneel in front of the handsome case. Suddenly, the anger in the big tent became a little serious and nervous, and all the generals and colonels also lowered their heads and looked solemn. I only heard Li Daozong roar angrily: "Come on, Li Jingheng violated the military order, pushed it out and cut it for me" got this order, but saw two knife and axe hands quickly walked into the handsome tent and grabbed Li Jingheng, whose hands had been tied. At this moment, I only heard Wei Chi Zhanfei come out of the column to plead: "Marshal, please calm your anger, the prince is also very meritorious, and he accidentally fell into the treacherous scheme of the Tianzhu King; And Childe knows that he is wrong, please forgive him this time! ”
As soon as the words fell, he knelt under the tent with a deep salute, and when the generals heard this, they also pleaded for Li Jingheng one after another. Although Li Daozong said that he had complaints, after all, this was also his own son, and after all, he glanced at the generals under the tent and was quite sincere, so he said on the donkey: "You violated my military order, damaged our army's morale, and you should be punished!" But the generals plead for you, under the law of the country, it is nothing more than human affection, and the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped," he said, and ordered the sergeant to push it out, and the rod and reprimanded fifty military sticks. The generals still wanted to intercede for Li Jingheng again, but Li Daozong waved his hand and asked them to go back to the camp to prepare for battle! At this point, the generals are also convinced. Some upright generals, seeing that they are so strict with their sons, can't say anything more, let alone this gossip!
The weather vane of history walked quietly like this, it was originally an easy victory, but in the face of repeated instructions, he still violated military orders and turned victory into defeat. Thinking of these Li Daozong for a moment, he felt that this son was too unsuccessful, arrogant, arrogant, brave and unscrupulous. After this battle, the doubts in his heart seemed to be solved in this way......
This Li Jingheng, first, has no resources, second, he doesn't know Turkic generals, and third, he often has a small friction with the Turks on the border, and he can be regarded as an enemy. Thinking about it like this, it was impossible for him to borrow these five thousand fine horses? So, he was ready to come and see this unfilial son and ask the reason for all this!
But seeing that in this huge military tent, Li Jingheng was lying on the bed, and his back and buttocks had been beaten bloody. Chen Lei was sitting upright next to the collapse, carefully applying gold sore medicine to him. complained about this while taking the medicine: "You said that this prince is true, isn't it just a small failure, and he will beat you like this; He also really did it, and still regarded you as his own son? ”
Because of Chen Lei's carelessness, Li Jingheng was in great pain, and "Ahh Chen Lei made a grimace and smiled. I heard Li Jingheng reply simply: "Father, there is no way, what we originally wanted was for us to meet the enemy in the city, and we were ordered to prevent us from pursuing!" It's a pity that we don't listen, and we can only blame ourselves! "Ugh." A long sigh from the heart!
Li Daozong had been there for a long time, because one of them was lying on his stomach and the other was facing away from him, so he didn't feel his arrival. When he heard Li Jingheng understand him so well, he seemed to feel that this kid still had such a little conscience, so he coughed in passing! As the voice looked, Chen Lei saw that it was him, immediately put down the gold sore medicine in his hand, and bowed down to salute, "I don't know that the prince has arrived, please atone for the prince"
When Li Jingheng heard Chen Lei say this, he immediately turned his head, and then prepared to get up and salute. As a result, Li Daozong took a step faster and pressed on the collapse: "If you are injured, you don't have to get up." Between the words, he casually handed the best gold sore medicine he was holding to Chen Lei: "I will put it on the general later" Chen Lei took the medicine and was about to get up, only to hear Li Daozong say to him sternly: "You kneel down for me first"
When Chen Lei heard this, he was suddenly stunned, feeling that something was wrong, and he knelt down with a "poof" after getting up halfway up. Immediately afterwards, Li Daozong said earnestly to Li Jingheng, who was lying on his stomach: "My father heard your conversation just now; Today's incident, you can understand my father's distress, and I am very pleased! Li Jingheng was full of tears of excitement, and returned sincerely: "It's all the son's fault, you shouldn't listen to your father's words!" ”
Li Daozong looked at this miserable son, and inadvertently felt some pity, because he usually disciplined too little! But mercy is mercy, and the doubts in my heart still have to ask: "Tell me the truth, how did you borrow these five thousand military horses from the Turkic horse farm?" ”
Li Jingheng listened to his father's cold question. was stunned for a moment, and then looked sideways at Chen Lei who was kneeling on the edge of the bed, but when he saw this, Chen Lei also rolled his eyes and gently shook his head to look at Li Jingheng. And all this, how can it escape Li Daozong's meticulous observation! But fortunately, Li Jingheng still has a trace of conscience, and he also understands that since his father asked like this, he must know some of the reasons. Even so, we can't continue to hide it according to Chen Lei's plan. So, he tentatively returned: "Because there was a team that had some personal relations with the Turks, and happened to march near the Turkic horse farm, and while chatting, I thought about whether it was possible to borrow some military horses from the Turks. I never thought that this thing would be done like this! Father, all of this is actually caused by the national prestige of our Tang Dynasty and the result of years of reconciliation between the two countries! ”
When Chen Lei heard Li Jingheng say this, he also nodded again and again and echoed: "What the general said is not wrong at all, this is all based on the general's meticulous planning and multiple considerations to facilitate this matter!" At this time, the two of them were still putting gold on their faces, although Li Daozong said that there was a trace of disgust, but suddenly felt that this small team was quite unusual, so he wanted to see him, and then asked: "What is the name of this team?" Send him to me! ”
Hearing this, Li Jingheng looked at Chen Lei with a difficult face, Chen Lei looked at Li Jingheng helplessly, and neither of them knew how to answer. Li Daozong looked at the two who were very hesitant and asked sharply, "Don't you know any names?" ”
Listening to his father's tone change greatly, Li Jingheng could only endure the pain and returned hesitantly: "His name is ...... King...... Black...... When Li Daozong heard these three words, Wang Xuance mentioned by Xue Yan in the letter immediately appeared in his mind. asked solemnly: "This Wang Xuance, but Wang Xuance, who has rescued the snow goose five times!" ”
Li Jingheng was instantly surprised, how could his father know these things! But it's hard to think about it, it becomes clear, it must be the snow goose who secretly sent a letter home, in other words, it seems that all this can't be hidden! So after weighing it again, he nodded silently and returned to "yes"
Watching this scene, Chen Lei couldn't help but feel a little more disappointed and timid.
Li Daozong immediately got up and said to the two of them in an angry tone: "It's all a good thing you did!" How can your father not understand by thy power? So, he glared at them fiercely and turned away! At the moment when he was about to walk out of the big tent, he turned around again and sternly ordered Chen Lei: "Get out of here, give my son good medicine first, and then invite Wang Xuance to my big tent!" With that, he turned his head and walked away quickly.
At this moment, only Chen and Li were left, staring at each other like a frosted eggplant, but they didn't know what to say. Chen Lei looked at Li Jingheng helplessly, Li Jingheng sighed helplessly, and then yelled at him viciously: "Why are you still stunned, don't go on an errand" Chen Lei, who was not flattering at both ends, hurriedly put down the gold sore medicine and left in a hurry.
At this time, Wang Xuance was studying the book of war in the big tent. In today's battle, although more than 300 brothers have already been put on their horses, ready to meet the enemy and rush to kill; But I can't wait for the general order! When the army rushed out, it was still holding the city; Later, when I heard about today's battle, I was very sorry! Although when he saw a villain like Chen Lei, he had a tired mentality; But because of the official rank, he still got up and saluted: "I don't know what Captain Chen came to say?" ”
Chen Lei, who was resentful, also said with a gun and a stick at this time: "Come with me, the marshal is invited" Wang Xuance heard Chen Lei's words, and the first thing he thought of was: Did I make a mistake again, and I thought about it? Then he pondered: What is the reason why the marshal invited a small team of himself for no reason? Instantly, all sorts of thoughts flooded the mind, but calmness still prevailed; Whatever? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, just follow him!
Outside this handsome tent, Chen Lei said coldly with treacherous feelings: "Go in"! After saying that, he turned around and left proudly. Looking at Chen Lei's strange demeanor, Wang Xuance was also confused by the second monk!
This was the first time he had met Li Daozong. But seeing that inside this handsome tent, all kinds of marching maps and situation sand tables are presented in front of you; Li Daozong sat behind the red-faced handsome case, busy and seriously dealing with the military situation; Not fat or thin figure, plus a trimmed rather delicate sheep's horn beard, with a plain brocade dress, there is a touch of majesty in kindness!
Wang Xuance stepped forward and bowed down: "Team leader Wang Xuance, meet the marshal!" Li Daozong casually took the wolf pen in his hand, raised his head, and returned with a smile: "No courtesy, get up quickly!" Then he asked straight to the point: "I heard that these 5,000 military horses were borrowed by you from the Turkic horse farm?" Let's talk about the detailed process of this matter! ”
Hearing Li Daozong's question, Wang Xuance was bold and told him in detail how to know Ashina Siyun, how to meet by chance in the Turkic horse farm, and how to rely on the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty to benefit and explain his situation. And when he told all this, Li Daozong was very fascinated by what he heard. Not only was he glad to have such an opportunity in the year of the weak crown, but also admired his courage and resourcefulness.
After understanding the cause and effect of this incident, Li Daozong continued to ask: "Tell me how to rescue the little girl." Wang Xuance then elaborated in detail how to meet the county lord on the road, how to rescue him from the water, how to meet the man in black, and so on. Li Daozong has always been very strange about what happened to Snow Goose along the way, who is this who wants to kill him, hearing Wang Xuance's detailed description, there is a little more question in his heart? Who did this?
Doubts are questions, and it was only at this time that Li Daozong understood deeply. All this credit was completely encroached upon by Li Jingheng, a rebel, if he hadn't had an extra heart, he would have been kept in the dark! So, he took a detailed look at this Wang Xuance. Indeed, as stated in the book of the Snow Goose's family, the literary quality is polite and dignified. Slender and mature, he has neither the frivolity of the same age, nor the recklessness of the same age, but he has the stability of his thirties, and the city of his forties; All of this seemed to tell him that this person was very useful! After Li Daozong considered it comprehensively, he said to him: "Little general, you are really courageous, wise and brave, from today on, you will be a partial general."
When Wang Xuance saw that he was so loving, he hurriedly excused himself sincerely: These merits of the last general are not enough to be promoted to partial general; What's more, it is very inappropriate to be promoted from a team to more than ten levels in a row. Then he continued in a serious manner: "The last general doesn't want to be promoted because of the merit of rescuing the county lord, and a good man should rise step by step with his military merits, so that he can serve the people and lead the troops to fight, so Marshal Wanwang retracts his life!" ”
Li Daozong heard his humble words. Looking at this young man again, you must understand that in the face of such an opportunity, who doesn't want to have such a support? Maybe he is the only one in the whole army, Wang Xuance.
is so humble, so sincere, I am very glad that I did not see the wrong person! So, he also said to him in his heart: "This is not because of the county lord's relatives, but because of your ability." Just because you brought back these 5,000 military horses, it is not surprising that you will be promoted to a partial general; What's more, during the march, your three great achievements ensured that the five thousand military horses arrived in Liangzhou City smoothly; In this way, this partial general has also wronged you! Just take it in peace! ”
Listening to his narration, I looked at Li Daozong, who was sincere at this time and could not refrain from refusing. Wang Xuance could only give a deep gift, received the Jun decree, and thanked the great grace. Then he quit the tent......
Although Wang Xuance, in this dialogue, he also took the opportunity to talk about the difficulties of the Turkic people's lives caused by the closure of the border; But in the face of such a major problem, Li Daozong was not sure how to explain it to His Majesty for a while. Therefore, after showing some sympathy, he replied to Wang Xuance with an excuse, and did not express it for the time being......
