Chapter 407: Wei Yuanzhong

For the persuasion of the veteran, Wei Jianjun, that is, Wei Yuanzhong, just shook his head with a wry smile, and after bowing to the veteran, he still stood stubbornly at the door, waiting quietly, under the light of the morning sun, it looked like an unusually solemn monument.

"What, you said that Wei Yuanzhong's old man is here again, didn't the chief manager tell you, let you persuade him, let him go back and wait for the news, and when the chief manager's condition is better, he will immediately raise troops to go south, what does he mean by this, who is it for, to the 300,000 soldiers in the army, or the queen mother, could it be that he thinks that he is the supervisor of the army, and he can decide that all the actions of the chief are not successful, it is really unreasonable."

In the post station, General Zuo Yuxuanwei, who was supposed to be bedridden, the general manager of the Yangzhou Road march, and the commander of the 300,000 elite army, was like a gangster on the street at this time, squatting on the couch and shouting with an angry face.

Seeing Li Xiaoyi like this, the middle-aged manager next to him couldn't help but sigh softly and shook his head. As a person who grew up with Li Xiaoyi since he was a child, he can be said to be the person who Li Xiaoyi knows the most in the world.

Although Li Xiaoyi is the son of the famous Tang Dynasty general Li Shentong, but when he was born, the Tang Dynasty has basically stabilized the world, and not long after he was born, Li Shentong died, for the sake of Li Shentong's face, whether it is Tang Taizong Li Shimin or Gaozong Li Zhi, they take good care of Li Xiaoyi, it can be said that he is purely a noble child born in a honeypot, if it is just like this, he is at most just a bastard, but he can't stand Li Xiaoyi's own strong interpersonal skills.

Not only is the popularity in the Li Tang clan very good, but even the people in power are extremely harmonious, not to mention anything else, let's just say that now, after Wu Meiniang came to power, in order to eliminate the influence of the Li Tang royal family, she was extremely harsh on the Li Tang royal family and the ministers loyal to the Li Tang royal family, but Li Xiaoyi, as a leading figure in the Li Tang royal family, was favored by Wu Meiniang, otherwise, this time, it was decided that the battle between Wu Meiniang and the fate of the Wu family, how could Li Xiaoyi be the boss.

As the saying goes, 'When God gives a man something, he loses something.' ’

These words are very suitable for Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoyi is extremely shrewd and has an extremely accurate vision, but unfortunately, there is a shortcoming, and no one else knows about this shortcoming except for the relatives and henchmen around him, and the housekeeper, Li Guan is one of them.

This shortcoming is none other than a lack of mental strength, as the saying goes, after a little blow, it is easy to have fear in the heart, so that there is no opinion.

It stands to reason that it is very normal for a royal nobleman like Li Xiaoyi to have this kind of shortcoming, after all, rich and powerful people are afraid of death, which is the most accurate, but when his identity has changed, from a gentleman who only cares about himself, to the future of 300,000 elite soldiers, it is even more exaggerated to say that it is related to the life and death of hundreds of people in the world, at this time, Li Xiaoyi's shortcomings are extremely serious.

Whether it was trying every means to delay the march before, or now hiding in this post station and pretending to be sick, Li Xiaoyi has only one meaning, that is, to find a way to drag it, although Li Xiaoyi also knows that it is not a way to drag it down like this, he will fight against Xu Jingye one day sooner or later, but everyone is like this, with a fluke in his heart, he can delay for a while.

"Ah Lang, you see that the army has been stationed in Xuzhou City for a few days, even if there is no matter of Wei Yuanzhong, we should indeed go south, otherwise it will be extremely unfavorable to you if it is spread to the Queen Mother by someone with a heart." After thinking about it for a long time, Li Guan still decided to persuade Li Xiaoyi to say a few words.

"Do you think that you don't want to lead the army south, but you also know, what kind of person is Xu Jingye, when he was in Chang'an City, he was in the military formation deduction at a young age, and after beating many generals in Chang'an City, he couldn't form an army, and he was one of them, he was less than ten years old at the time, and he was already in his twenties. It's good to be defeated, but if the battle is defeated, I'm afraid that the whole Li family will be doomed! ”

In front of a confidant like Li Guan, Li Xiaoyi didn't bother to hide it, and said his true words as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Ah Lang, these military and political affairs, the old slave is not carelessly proficient, but I heard that Wei Yuanzhong Wei supervised the army, and he is quite proficient in the military formation, and he has annotated the "Kyushu Danger Map", which is a military masterpiece, it is better to recruit him and ask about it, maybe you can get some unexpected gains, you see........"

Li Guan understands better than Li Xiaoyi, he knows that if Li Xiaoyi continues to be so sluggish, not to mention whether there will be a jealous of his humanity Wu Meiniang to slander him in front of him, in case Xu Jingye has any action in Jiangnan, which affects the overall situation of the court, even if Wu Meiniang is pampering him, he will not easily bypass him, therefore, for the sake of his own Ah Lang's life, Li Guan couldn't help but persuade.

"This ........."

Regarding Li Guan's suggestion, Li Xiaoyi frowned and hesitated for a moment, Li Guan could see it, how could a person like him with a clear mind not see it, but when it was related to his own interests, even if he saw the crisis, people wanted to deceive themselves with luck.

"This ...... Well, you give him a call, ah..... No, please come in and remember to be sincere. Li Xiaoyi had to compromise in the face of reality.

September is one of the most comfortable months of the year, and the lukewarm weather makes many people choose to go out at this time, or get together with friends, drink and talk about poetry, and enjoy the flowers and the moon.

But Wei Yuanzhong didn't feel the slightest comfort, under the clothes that were not thick or thin, he mixed up and down, but there was a trace of coldness, not a cold body, but a cold heart.

In the past, Wei Yuanzhong was also extremely proud, a young and frivolous person, but after receiving some setbacks, he finally realized the cruelty of reality, and later, after experiencing great changes, he was finally able to adapt to society, and he finally had the opportunity to realize the revenge in his heart.

This time, he followed Li Xiaoyi south to quell Xu Jingye's rebellion, and at the beginning, Wei Yuanzhong was also extremely hot in his heart, thinking that this was the moment when he got ahead and became famous in the world, but since the army was launched, Wei Yuanzhong's fiery heart has become more and more cold.

Coach Li Xiaoyi's inaction, and even the act of dragging his feet, made him angry, but helpless, seeing that the generals in the army were boiling and the soldiers were a little impetuous, Wei Yuanzhong had to come out on his own and wanted to speak to Li Xiaoyi, but unfortunately, for him, the supervising army, Li Xiaoyi, the royal prince and nobleman, couldn't look down on him at all, let alone persuasion, he couldn't even see the face, and in desperation, Wei Yuanzhong had to take an extremely dangerous step to force the palace.

waited outside the post house where Li Xiaoyi stayed for several days, this was already a public tear with Li Xiaoyi, but the situation at this time could not tolerate Wei Yuanzhong's scruples, he knew that if he couldn't persuade Li Xiaoyi to go south quickly, as the dissatisfaction and impetuousness of the soldiers became more and more serious, even if he really arrived in Yangzhou, he was probably not Xu Jingye's opponent, and even if Xu Jingye made any surprising moves on the way to their march, Li Xiaoyi might be exempted from responsibility at that time. As a prisoner, he could not escape responsibility.

"Crunch ....."

Just when Wei Yuanzhong was standing at the door of the post house, thinking about it in his heart, he heard the originally closed door of the post house being opened with a creak.

At the beginning, Wei Yuanzhong didn't even open his eyes, he thought that it was the same as a few days ago, this was the entry and exit of people in the post house, but soon, a deep voice sounded.

"Wei Jianjun, my family Ah Lang has invited Wei Jianjun to go in to discuss military affairs, and also ask Wei Jianjun to follow the old slave."

"Hmm"

Hearing this voice, Wei Yuanzhong felt in his heart for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Guanzheng standing in front of him with a smile on his face and a modest attitude.

"Steward Li, what do you mean is that the chief manager is going to summon a certain person to discuss military affairs." Wei Yuanzhong asked in surprise.

"Hehehe, yes, it was my Ah Lang who asked the old slave to invite Wei Jianjun in, and said that there are important military negotiations, please follow the old slave in!" Li Guan replied with a smile.

"Ah,...... Okay, okay, let's go, let's go. Although he was extremely surprised in his heart, it was true that Li Xiaoyi wanted to summon him, and happiness came so quickly that even a person in a state of mind like Wei Yuanzhong felt a little unreal.

Xuzhou as a big city, everything is extremely gorgeous, even if it is a small post house, it is much stronger than many official residences elsewhere, under the leadership of Li Guan, through the pavilion over the wall, a cup of tea to reach Li Xiaoyi's residence.

Along the way, Wei Yuanzhong's state of mind has almost adjusted, although he doesn't know why Li Xiaoyi summoned him at this time, and at the same time he also had a few thoughts in his heart, and finally felt that Li Xiaoyi must have also felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to discuss a countermeasure with himself, and only this idea was the most in line with the current situation.

It's just that thoughts are thoughts, and when Wei Yuanzhong really saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and saw Li Xiaoyi, who was said to be sick, standing outside the door, and it seemed that he was greeting himself.

You know, in ancient times, people were very observant of etiquette, what is etiquette, in fact, is the rules, why Confucius sage is very sought after the scene of King Wen of Zhou, because he felt that it was the etiquette, or the most standardized time.

Although the etiquette of later generations is not as strict as that of the Zhou Dynasty, some basic etiquette still has to be followed, for example, the superior official is extremely advantageous to the subordinate officials, and the lower officials greet the upper officials, according to a certain level of how far to greet them, and the upper officials are much more casual for the lower officials.

Except for very rare cases, there are not many Shangguan who will go out to greet the lower officials when they greet them, and Li Xiaoyi gave Wei Yuanzhong such a big gift at this time. All of a sudden, the anger that Wei Yuanzhong had suppressed in his heart these days seemed to have dissipated a lot.

From this point, it can also be seen that Li Xiaoyi is indeed an extremely clever master in terms of human sophistication.

"Wei Yuanzhong, a director of a certain supervising army, has seen the chief manager, and heard that the chief manager is sick, and his subordinates are extremely worried, and I don't know how the chief manager is now." Wei Yuanzhong saluted Li Xiaoyi.

"Hahaha, a little sick, but tired Wei Jianjun to worry about, after these days of recuperation, a certain already feels much better, this is not, as soon as the body is good, a certain heard that Wei Jianjun has been waiting outside the post house for a few days, a certain is extremely surprised, the next person is not sensible, let Wei Jianjun suffer, a certain here apologized to Wei Jianjun." Li Xiaoyi took Wei Yuanzhong's arm very affectionately and apologized to him.

"The chief manager is too worried, some small things are not enough to worry about, today I can see that the chief manager is in good health, but it is much more important than other things." The sedan chair was carried by everyone, although he was extremely disdainful of this kind of hypocritical greetings in the officialdom, Wei Yuanzhong also knew that this was the normal state of society, and if he wanted to mix in this circle, he had to abide by these rules.

Hearing that Wei Yuanzhong didn't have much resentment in his mouth, when Li Xiaoyi was satisfied in his heart, he was also a little curious about Wei Yuanzhong, and at the same time, he was a little more confident that Wei Yuanzhong could help him solve the current dilemma.

"These days, a certain person is sick in bed, and he has been negligent in military affairs, I don't know if Wei Jianjun can talk to a certain person in detail about military affairs, and I don't know how the traitor Xu Jingye is in Jiangnan, whether he has taken Runzhou and captured Jinling City, what should our army do next, and I have to ask Wei Jianjun for advice." After some greetings, Li Xiaoyi got straight to the point.

Although he knew that this was just Li Xiaoyi's rhetoric, after all, as the general manager, all military affairs and information about Xu Jingye would be sent to him as soon as possible, but Wei Yuanzhong still felt extremely excited, after all, this was the first time Li Xiaoyi had discussed military affairs with him, which showed that he also had the intention to change the current state of the army.

After a simple narrative, Wei Yuanzhong made a detailed report to Li Xiaoyi on the recent military situation and Xu Jingye's general movements, and did not perfunctory because Li Xiaoyi knew this.

Listening to Wei Yuanzhong's narration of the military situation and Xu Jingye's movements, as well as the judgments mixed in the narration, Li Xiaoyi became more and more curious about Wei Yuanzhong, and at the same time realized that he had found a talent who could help him a lot.

"I don't know what suggestions Wei Jianjun has for our army's next move." After having a little judgment in his heart, Li Xiaoyi still asked the question he wanted to ask the most, and it was also a question that he was concerned about his future.

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support
