Chapter 60: Plan Ahead

After washing, Yang Lian drank rice porridge, at this time, he couldn't eat too hard food, and he couldn't eat too quickly. Bar>w'ww.

The rice porridge seems to have been boiled for a long time, the fat mutton is cut into diced meat, and it is also boiled so thinly that it melts in the mouth, and the taste is also very good, Yang Lian's index finger moved.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, Yang Lian's body warmed up a lot, his stomach no longer growled, and he also had a little spirit.

The servant on the side brought another bowl, and Yang Lian ate much slower this time.

"Did anything happen yesterday?" Yang Lian asked while eating.

The subordinate stood with his hands down, although this person was just the Marquis of Yu, but he told Shi to take good care of this person, how could he dare to slack off as a subordinate?

"In the past few days, many more defeated soldiers have returned, about 2,000 people, who have been placed outside the city. It is said that Zhu Tongjun is trying his best to appease. "The subordinates don't know much, so they can only give Yang Lian a little bit of news.

Yang Lian nodded, these news were enough, and after eating this bowl of rice porridge, he went out for a walk. After sleeping for a day and a night, this bone is sore and very uncomfortable, and it is always good to exercise.

In the middle of the night, the breeze was blowing, and it was still a little cool, Yang Lian didn't care, and thought while pacing.

According to Yang Lian's estimate, the Wuyue people should not attack Changzhou, and although the war in Fuzhou should be decided, it will take a lot of effort to appease the people, restore the economy, establish a defensive line, etc., and it will not be completed in a day. What's more, Li Renda led the Wu Yue people into Fuzhou just to drive away the Tang people. If the Southern Tang Dynasty retreated from Fuzhou, Li Renda and Wu Yue might have something dirty.

In this case, if he attacks Changzhou, which is also a fortified city, Wu Yueguo will inevitably fall into a bitter situation and will not be able to extricate himself, and the losses will be huge.

Wu Yueren's side did not mention it for the time being, Fuzhou was defeated, Suzhou was defeated, the Son of Heaven was bound to be angry, and Feng Yanlu, Chen Jue and even Li Zhenggu were punished, Yang Lian didn't know at all. However, at this time, King Qi must stay out of the matter, and he can't intercede for these people, otherwise in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, King Qi is also suspected of party disputes.

The other faction led by Han Xizai and Xu Hyun will definitely fall into the ground, and these people are all difficult bones to gnaw. If Li Hongji is allowed to gain the upper hand and even snatch the position of prince, Yang Lian does not want to see it.

We must take precautions to break this deadlock. However, Yang Lian thought about it, but still didn't find a suitable way.

Before he knew it, the sky was already bright, and Yang Lian couldn't stay idle, so he continued to exercise in the house. When the sun had just risen, the news came.

The past two days have really been busy with him, the important town of Changzhou must not be lost, thousands of defeated troops are like the blocked Yangtze River water, which may rush out at any time, how can he not worry? Fortunately, Yang Lian eliminated the big trouble for him and lifted the crisis in Changzhou.

The food for the defeated army now depends on Changzhou City, there are a lot of them, and the officials and catchers in the house have moved, so everyone will be settled, and there will be defeated soldiers in the future, but the number should not be much, and Wei Kuangfu is also relieved.

When I saw Yang Lian, I exchanged pleasantries, and when I saw that Yang Lian was in good spirits, I was relieved.

Yang Lian asked him about the situation of the Wu Yue people, and knew that Qian Wenfeng had no intention of going north for the time being, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise with the defeated army in Changzhou, it was still a question whether he could stop the Wu Yue people.

When Wei Kuangfu left, Yang Lian sorted it out and went to see Gao Shensi first.

Although Gao Shensi is old, he is a military general after all, and his physical fitness is good. The broken arm was bandaged, and I used good herbs to compress it, and I took some medicine to nourish my blood, and it finally didn't look as bad as it was a few days ago.

Yang Lian went in to give a salute: "The lowly Yang Lian has seen the unified army. ”

Gao Shensi hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Yang Lian, you finally woke up, come, sit here, you don't have to be polite." ”

Yang Lian looked up and down for a while, and said: "Gao Tongjun, this battle is nine deaths, and at least a thousand people have been killed in Datang, my heart is really unwilling." ”

Gao Shensi waved his hand and said, "Although you are unwilling, what can you do?" His Majesty's order for us to retreat must have his deep meaning. __Bar>w=w-w'.-For a period of time, I shouldn't go to Suzhou. ”

Yang Lian said: "Gao Tongjun, this retreat is a temporary order, pack your luggage in the afternoon, and retreat in the evening." This matter is very confidential, so how did Qian Wenfeng know about it, and ambushed the strange soldiers in advance, waiting for me to be fooled? ”

Gao Xiansi nodded and said: "I and Deputy Envoy Li, Zhu Tongjun also talked about this issue, and we were all puzzled. Is that Qian Wenfeng clairvoyant and can know what we are doing. ”

"Gao Tongjun, it stands to reason that our army scouts are densely packed within a radius of more than ten miles from the camp, and the Wu Yue people can't enter at all, so how can they find out about the situation of our army? Humble and courageous, with an immature idea. Yang Lian said.

At this time, a person's voice sounded behind him: "What do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Looking back, it was Li Zhenggu.

Li Zhenggu's face was depressed, the defeat was like a mountain, he only felt that he had lost the emperor's trust, he was much older in an instant, his beard was messy, how could he have the usual chic and light breeze? Hearing Yang Lian say that he had an immature idea, it was like a person who had fallen into the water and grabbed a straw, and he couldn't take care of it anymore, so he grabbed it first and then said.

"Since Qian Wenfeng can't find out the situation of our army, is there someone who secretly collaborated with the enemy and passed the news to Qian Wenfeng?" Yang Lian said his conjecture.

Li Zhenggu shook his head and said, "This seems impossible." ”

Gao Xiansi pursed his lips, Yang Lian's thoughts were a little unbelievable, after all, most of the soldiers of the forbidden army and their families were in Jinling, and everyone should have no possibility of collaborating with the enemy. However, this speculation is the most reliable, otherwise it cannot be explained. But who is it? Where is the evidence again?

Yang Lian smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps, it's not anyone from the Shenwu Army or the Tianxiong Army, but someone else, or even someone from Jinling?" ”

"What?" Li Zhenggu and Gao Xiansi's expressions at this moment were extremely similar, and they couldn't believe that someone from Jinling would sell such important news to Wu Yueren. Moreover, the people who can get this news must not be ordinary people, at least people who can participate in the court meeting.

Who is such a person, there are not many people who are eligible, except for some princes of the royal family, who are important ministers of the court. But how could a person with such an identity do something like treason with the enemy? Besides, now it's just speculation, and there is no evidence at all, not to mention the prince, and the important ministers of the court can't make false accusations.

Li Zhenggu reacted after half a sound, and said with a wry smile: "This kind of thing can't be said again in the future." ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "This is just speculation." After being humiliated, I will be careful and will never talk nonsense. ”

Gao Xiansi nodded and said, "Although this battle was lost, in Shashan, killing a commander can be regarded as saving some face. Yang Lian, your future is limitless, you must be careful in your actions, and you must not miss your future because of nonsense. ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Thank you Gao Tongjun for reminding me, the kid must remember it in the future." ”

Li Zhenggu frowned slightly and said, "Actually, I have always had a doubt in my heart. Glancing at Yang Lian, Li Zhenggu hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Yang Lian, if it weren't for the fact that I had seen Yang Lian's portrait and his grave, I really doubt that you are that Yang Lian." "Li Zhenggu is still a little taboo, the old prince of the former dynasty is a topic that cannot be mentioned.

Gao Xiansi frowned slightly, he also asked Yang Lian about such a topic at the beginning.

Yang Lian laughed and said, "What if I am Yang Lian, the old prince of the previous dynasty?" ”

Li Zhenggu's face changed, he waved his hand dissatisfiedly, and said, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Yang Lian was upright and said: "The skin of the body is subject to my parents, and my name cannot be changed." If I really take the old prince of my current dynasty, I will fight hard and never die. ”

Gao Xiansi sighed and said: "You kid, you are too strong, you need to know that you are strong and easy to break, why are you ......" Speaking of this, I felt that there was nothing to say, Yang Lian is such a person, I am afraid that he will not be able to change it for a while.

Yang Lian arched his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Gao Tongjun for reminding me." ”

Li Zhenggu was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not true. When the old prince died, the government and the opposition were all shocked, and Princess Yongxing got the news and made trouble several times, which caused the anger of the Son of Heaven. In the end, it didn't work, and Princess Yongxing died depressed. ”

"Now that so many years have passed, although things have faded, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to forget, how can a dead man come back to life?" Li Zhenggu said slowly.

Gao Shensi nodded and said, "This also makes sense. ”

Yang Lian shut up and said nothing, waiting for the two of them to wave their imagination.

Li Zhenggu said again: "Besides, if I were Yang Lian, I finally survived, how could I come to this Jinling and make everyone suspicious?" ”

Yang Lian smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps, in this world, there are such people?" ”

"As long as it's a normal person, it's harder than going deep into a tiger's den. Yang Lian, aren't you a normal person? Li Zhenggu smiled, in his heart, he actually already had the answer, and the last sentence was just a joke.

Yang Lian laughed and said, "Yang Lian is naturally a normal person. ”

This topic ended, and Li Zhenggu said: "I'm afraid Your Majesty has already gotten the news, and I don't know what will happen to him." ”

"What else?" Gao Shensi shook his head and said, "Although Your Majesty is a literati and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in his heart, he still wants to make contributions. When he received this news, he must have been furious. ”

Li Zhenggu nodded, after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he changed the conservative policy of the Liezu and took the initiative to attack, indeed wanting to make contributions. It's a pity that the first war of Fujian land, although it occupied a lot of land, but the first battle of Fuzhou still cheapened the Wuyue people, think about it, I feel unwilling.

Yang Lian also nodded, and said: "Now the war is not good for the Tang Dynasty, after returning to Jinling, I am afraid that there will be villains who fall into the ground, Deputy Envoy Li, Gao Tongjun, have to guard against it!" ”

Li Zhenggu sighed and said, "This is inevitable, how can Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and others be willing if they don't make something happen?" ”

"This is their best opportunity, naturally they will win over their henchmen, write a letter to impeach me, etc., after they go back, I am afraid that there will inevitably be a bloody storm in Jinling City."

"Deputy Envoy Li, Gao Tongjun, we must not let Han Xizai and others become bigger." Yang Lian said, thought about it, and said, "I have a way, but I don't know if it will work out?" ”
