Chapter 17 To be sick or not to be sick, in a thought
The third is to ask for the first order.
Luoyang and Wagang can't afford to wear down for a long time, and the three armies in the east can't hold each other, and no one can imagine that what changed the situation of the war is the battle of Houzaimun, and what makes the people of the eastern capital ecstatic is that the imperial court recaptured Luocang. The people were happy, naturally not because of the dignity of the court, but because they had food.
The siege lasted only a few days, but the damage to the city wall was quite serious, especially the boulders fell from the sky, smashing the city wall out of cracks, the people were grateful for the kindness of the court, spontaneously cleaned the battlefield, repaired the city wall, the army and the people were united, a good story for a while.
After winning the battle, it is natural to talk about meritorious deeds, Li Xuanba's official residence is from the third grade, after all, the king of Yue is not the emperor, and he has no right to add officials to him, so he sent someone to tear off the seal on the door of the Tang State Mansion, named it Zhongyong Mansion, gave it to Li Xuanba, and sent people in the palace to visit, and said that he would write a copy of Li Xuanba's merits and present it to Jiangdu Palace.
As for Yuan Wendu, Li Jing and others, the king of Yue also rewarded them one by one, and the money, grain, slaves and maids were transported to everyone's mansion without hesitation.
It stands to reason that Li Xuanba should enter the palace to thank him, but after entering the city that day, Li Xuanba returned to the camp, and later transferred to the Zhongyong Mansion, and never left a single step, because he was sick.
After winning the battle, there were countless rewards, and no one suspected that Li Xuanba was pretending to be sick. During this period, the princess sent Qiushuang to visit, and the Zhu family and other big families also expressed their concern, but Li Xuanba was very sick and no one saw him, so he just asked Fang Xuanling to greet him at the house and express his gratitude to everyone.
In the room in the backyard of Zhongyong Mansion, Liang Xiao looked at Li Xuanba, who was lying on the bed with a ruddy face, and couldn't understand what kind of illness he had, why he invited a doctor but didn't let the doctor treat him, but gave so much money to others for nothing.
Fang Xuanling sent the guests away and walked into the room tiredly. Pointing to the door, Liang Xiao understood, walked out with a ring-headed knife, closed the door, and then sat on the railing of the verandah, took out two beads from his arms and played with them.
"Yuan Qing because of his identity. So he couldn't accept the reward, why did Childe deliberately hide? Fang Xuanling sat on the edge of the bed and said softly: "Although Gongzi doesn't like King Yue, he represents the court after all. ”
"Sir, think I'm faking my illness?" Li Xuanba opened his eyes, sat up, and said helplessly: "Even Liang Xiao was rewarded with two jade beads, which shows that His Royal Highness King Yue is more generous than His Majesty, I love people who take advantage of them so much." If he wasn't really sick, how could he not go to the palace to show off his might? ”
As soon as he opened his mouth and said so many words, how could Fang Xuanling believe that Li Xuanba was really sick? So, he said with a smile: "Childe's heart disease is not an incurable disease. Xiaguan has a good prescription here, is the son willing to give it a try? "Fang Xuanling had a meritorious plan, and Yuan Wendu originally planned to recommend him to King Yue, but Fang Xuanling chose to stay by Li Xuanba's side. Yuan Wen couldn't be stubborn, so he hired him a position in the bookkeeper.
"You see I'm sick like this. Sir, don't sell it. Li Xuanba was overjoyed when he heard this, and urged.
"The Wagang thieves sent people to ransom the corpse of the Duke of Qi." Fang Xuanling was deliberately stunned, but when he saw Li Xuanba's face darkened, he hurriedly said: "But Yuanqing told Xia Guan that the Duke of Qi County fled south along the Tongjin Canal. ”
Since he fled. It shows that Meng Rang is not dead, as for why he didn't go back to Luokou and care about other people's? Neither the imperial court nor Wagang thought that someone would kill Meng Rang and not report it, after all, this was a great achievement.
After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Xuanba's spirit really improved. Said proudly: "In this way, General Pei still chose the Xingyang Army, which is really good news." ”
"Xiaguan is more concerned about why Gongzi doesn't want others to know his strength." Fang Xuanling looked at Li Xuanba seriously and said: "Gongzi killed Meng Rang on a single horse, the soldiers of the Xingyang Army will respect Gongzi, and the people of the Eastern Capital will also respect Gongzi, and the lower officials really can't see any drawbacks." ”
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." Li Xuanba smiled faintly and said, "Xuanba doesn't want to face hundreds of thousands of male soldiers alone anymore, and then be shot into a hedgehog. ”
At the beginning, Li Xuanba killed several generals of Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuangan gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired, if it weren't for Li Xuanba's thin body and double hammers, I was afraid that he would have the ability to reach the sky, and he would inevitably be martyred, but despite this, he was also hit hard in that rain of arrows, which was very sad, and Queen Xiao couldn't stop crying.
Fang Xuanling shook his head with a smile, naturally he didn't believe Li Xuanba's explanation, but since Li Xuanba didn't want to say more, he didn't plan to continue asking. Except for him and Li Gou, no one in the world knows that Li Xuanba's body has recovered, which shows that Li Xuanba trusts him very much, and as a subordinate of the minister, this is enough.
"Childe, what do you think of General Li?" Because of Li Xuanba's trust, Fang Xuanling felt that he shouldn't worry too much, thought for a while, and said with clear eyes: "Since General Li arrived in Xingyang, you have handed over the army to him, but after so long, he doesn't seem to have any intention of serving Gongzi, even if Gongzi is sick, General Li has never come to visit." More importantly, Li Jing has not shown extraordinary ability so far, which makes Fang Xuanling a little worried.
"Sir, please believe in Xuanba's vision, he will be a great person in the future." The corners of Li Xuanba's mouth curled, revealing an unfathomable smile, and continued: "A person with ability will not be willing to be mediocre, General Pei is young and will tend to me because of my trust in him, but General Li will not be so impulsive, it is better to give him more time and let him wait and see." ”
Fang Xuanling was silent for a long time, and couldn't think of any adjectives to describe Li Xuanba, so he sighed helplessly: "Childe is really patient." ”
"What can you do if you don't have patience? Do you want to force him to take a stand? Or take back his military power? "Li Xuanba is willing to wait, but there is no way, in fact. He had also been distressed by this matter, shook his head, and continued: "General Li's matter, put it aside for the time being, at least he will not betray the imperial court. Is there any news of reinforcements? ”
"I've heard that reinforcements are coming soon." Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "General Wang is here from Jiangdu, the road is far away, and it may take August to arrive. ”
"It's a coincidence that they're here." Li Xuanba smiled meaningfully and said: "Since they are here, my illness should also be cured, Mr. has always felt that Xuanba is too low-key, so Xuanba will do something high-profile." ”
Fang Xuanling quickly understood what Li Xuanba meant, and persuaded: "There is no evidence to prove that they deliberately slowed down the march, if Gongzi argues with them in the court, not only will there be no chance of winning, but it will cause them to hold grudges." ”
"Do you want the thousands of soldiers of the Xingyang Army to die in vain?" Li Xuanba's eyes dimmed, and he said very unhappily: "How can Meng Rang's one life be enough?" ”
Fang Xuanling's heart froze, and secretly said that night when you gave an order, more than 2,000 watts of thieves' heads fell to the ground, don't you remember? (To be continued.) )
