Chapter 615: Ju Guogong Tang Jian
A large team came to Dingxiang City, the first person was Li Xiu's old subordinate Xu Jingzong, at this time Li Xiu also received the news to welcome out of the city, when he saw him, Xu Jingzong also immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face and reported: "Qi Yu Horse, you let the lower officials prepare the timber and other materials have been sent, and there are also a group of experienced craftsmen, please check the horses!" ”
"It's good, after entering the city, someone will naturally arrange the reception of these materials and craftsmen!" Li Xiu also nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, in order to deal with the snow disaster, he came up with a way, so he brought some materials and craftsmen from the rear to prepare to make something.

"Don Ma, two days ago, the envoy sent by Chang'an to reward the three armies also arrived in Shuozhou, and today he came with his subordinates, do you want to see it?" At this time, I saw Xu Jingzong ask for instructions again, and as he spoke, he also glanced at a carriage in the team behind him.
"Oh? Who is the envoy sent by Chang'an this time? Li Xiu was not surprised to hear this, in fact, as early as Qin Qiong's defeat in the Hunhe River, Li Shimin had sent envoys to labor the army, of course, these envoys also had another task, that is, to observe the movements of the army, especially the main generals, if they found that the generals had signs of rebellion, they would immediately report to Chang'an, which could be regarded as a means for the emperor to supervise the army.
"It's Ju Guogong Tang Jian!" When Xu Jingzong said this, he also showed an expression of envy on his face. Speaking of Tang Jian, he is a legendary figure in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Jian's father is a friend of Li Yuan, and he himself is a friend of Li Shimin, he has been encouraging Li Shimin to rebel, and it is precisely because of this that after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Tang Jian was immediately crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, in comparison, Xu Jingzong is too pitiful.
"It's that Tang Jian, who is blessed with a great fortune and has never done his job!" When Li Xiu heard the name Tang Jian, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression at the moment. "Fu Da has a great life" and "not doing his job" are not the labels that Li Xiu put on Tang Jian, in fact, this is the unanimous evaluation of Tang Jian by everyone in Datang.
In the romance of the Sui and Tang dynasties in later generations, Cheng Yanjin was known as the first lucky general, and he relied on good luck many times to save the day, of course, this is a novel, and it can't be believed to be true, but in real history, there is indeed a person who is blessed with a great fate, and this person is Tang Jian. At the beginning, Liu Wuzhou rebelled, and as a result, the Tang army commander Li Xiaoji was defeated, and he was captured alive, and it happened that Tang Jian was also in the army as an envoy, and he was also taken prisoner together, and finally Li Xiaoji was killed by Liu Wuzhou, and even the body was not found, but Tang Jian escaped with his life, and he was promoted.
It is said that the reason why Tang Jian was able to save his life was to persuade Liu Wuzhou with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, not only did not kill him, but also wanted to recruit him, and it happened that Tang Jian learned that the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty at that time was still the secretary of the Ministry of Industry Dugu Huaien rebelled, so he secretly sent someone to inform Li Yuan and made the first great achievement, and later Liu Wuzhou fled to the Turks, Tang Jian sealed the materials left by Liu Wuzhou, and waited for Li Shimin to check it, this second great achievement, so in the end he was not only innocent, but was also named the county prince in one fell swoop, and later waited until Li Shimin ascended the throne, He was also named the Duke of the Kingdom.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Tang Jian has always disliked to deal with official business, which is very similar to Li Xiu, but Li Xiu likes to teach children at home, or go fishing to kill time, but Tang Jian likes to drink and have fun, and he is drunk every day, so he has delayed a lot of official business, Li Shimin has no choice but to give him an idle position, and sometimes he will be an envoy, for example, he once sent an envoy to the Turks in the first year of Zhenguan, and told Li Shimin that with the situation of the Turks, the Tang Dynasty will be able to destroy the Turks in the future. It can be seen from this that although Tang Jian is a little unprofessional, his vision is extremely accurate.
"What the horse said is very much, the nickname of Ju Guogong is known to everyone in Datang, but it is really enviable that he can easily achieve the high position of Guogong like him!" When Xu Jingzong said the end, he glanced at the carriage in the team again, and saw that the carriage was luxuriously decorated, and the horses pulling the carriage in front were also extraordinary, which was in stark contrast to the carriages pulling goods around, of course, it was indeed very rare for Tang Jian to be so luxurious in the army.
"Hey, why hasn't Ju Guogong come down yet, this is too rude, right?" At this moment, Xu Jingzong suddenly frowned and said again, after all, Li Xiu personally went to the city gate to greet him, Tang Jian should have personally gotten out of the car to see Li Xiu anyway, but now there was no movement on the carriage, which was very rude.
"It's okay, Ju Guogong is older than me, and I should go to see him!" Li Xiu said indifferently at this time, and after speaking, he personally came to Tang Jian's carriage and said loudly, "Li Xiu will meet Ju Guogong in the next place!" ”
"Knock~" As soon as Li Xiu's words fell, he suddenly heard a muffled sound in the carriage, as if someone had hit the carriage with something, and then there was a chaotic sound inside, and I don't know what Tang Jian was doing inside?
Hearing the movement in the carriage, not only did Li Xiu show a puzzled expression, but even the entourage brought by Tang Jian looked at each other one by one, just when everyone was puzzled, suddenly saw the carriage door being pushed open suddenly, and a stumbling figure rushed out at once, but he was in the carriage, and he couldn't hold his feet at all, so he actually fell from above.
Seeing this, everyone, including Li Xiu, exclaimed, fortunately, Tang Jian's entourage reacted quickly, and suddenly stepped forward to hug the person who had fallen, and then Li Xiu saw the appearance of this person clearly, only to see that the other party was about forty or fifty years old, more than seven feet long, with a clear appearance, with three long beards under his chin, and he looked chic, but in addition, this person was full of redness, a drunken and hazy appearance, full of alcohol, and I don't know how much wine he ate in the carriage.
"Huh? Just now...... How did I hear someone say the name Li Xiu just now? Where is Yan Guogong, in the lower Tang Jian, for a long time...... I've heard of it for a long time! Tang Jian barely stood with one hand on the guard's shoulder, and then looked around with drunken eyes, as if he wanted to find Li Xiu from the crowd, but he had never met Li Xiu before, and his brain was confused, so he didn't even see that it was Li Xiu standing in front of him for a while.
Seeing Tang Jian drunk like this, Li Xiu also had a feeling of crying and laughing, he had only heard that Tang Jian was not doing his job properly, and he also liked to drink, but he didn't expect him to drink like this on the way here, but fortunately, his relationship with Li Shimin was not ordinary, otherwise if he was replaced by another person, I am afraid that he would have been removed from his post and investigated.
