Chapter 384: West Liang Xing (16)
Fortunately, it was not spread in advance, otherwise with the speed of Zhao Wenxian and others dragging their families, they would really not be able to escape. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For Li Shimin, this is a big deal, all the Luo family went to Xiliang, what does this mean? Luo Yi actually married the princess of Xiliang, and the king of Xiliang was ambitious, if there was Luo Yi to help.
Li Shimin didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly summoned Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Yanjin and other old ministers.
After a while, the imperial study was full of people, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Bi Lao Dao Xu Maogong, Wei Chigong, a total of five people, divided into two rows of battle columns.
They also received the news that the Luo family was going to Xiliang, and Wei Chigong knew more than Li Shimin, because he came from the west.
Wei Chi Gongyu reported: "Your Majesty, the minister just got the news that Luo Yi took a princess in Xiliang, named Zhou Qiao, is Zhou Gandang's second daughter, Luo Yi took out 150,000 loads of grain and grass as a bride price to marry Zhou Qiao, and Zhou Gandang gave Longxi to Luo Yi, and announced on the day of Luo Yi's wedding to Zhou Qiao, and when the new year begins, he will use troops to my Tang Dynasty. ”
Wei Chigong basically told the true situation of Xiliang.
This is the truth, to say that Wei Chigong knows this, it is also a coincidence, if he hadn't gone to the border to inspect, I'm afraid that he wouldn't know if he waited for the Xiliang soldiers to come over.
Li Shimin only heard people reply, everyone in the Luo family went to Xiliang, and there were rumors about Luo Yi marrying a wife, but he was not sure, he thought it was a rumor, and when he heard Wei Chigong's words, he immediately strengthened his mind, Luo Yi had indeed rebelled.
"Bold!"
Li Shimin walked back and forth in the same place in an irritable mood, and finally slapped the table and roared angrily: "Luo Yi dares to take refuge in Xiliang and go against me, even if his Luo family is highly meritorious, it can't offset this big mistake." ”
"You still say that I punished him wrongly, look, if you don't punish him, he can enter Chang'an City!"
Except for Wei Chigong, the rest of the people have not recovered from the shock, and Cheng Yanjin and the others can't believe that Luo Yi actually rebelled in Xiliang.
Since Luo Cheng, the Luo family has made countless military exploits, Luo Cheng died in battle, Luo Ren died in battle, Luo Tong swept the north to seal the king, and Luo Yi performed meritorious service... Could it be that such a meritorious man is also willing to rebel, how to be worthy of the Lord?
After Cheng Yanjin reacted, he lamented: "Alas, Your Majesty, what you did this time is too confused, the minister has a word, don't vomit and be unhappy!" ”
In the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that only Cheng Yanjin dares to talk to Li Shimin like this.
Li Shimin knew that Cheng Biting Jin was loyal, and he was the only one left among the five tigers of Wagang back then, Li Shimin didn't care about him, muttered a little, and said, "Say it." ”
Cheng Biting Jin arched his hand and said: "The Luo family is full of loyalty, loyalty, and countless contributions to the emperor, let's just say that the last Xiliang War, if there is no Luo family, I don't know what the result is, Jiangnan, Huainan, Luo Yi has enriched my country's treasury again, and the emperor really shouldn't send Luo Yi." ”
Wei Chigong also said: "Yes, the gentleman has something to do and something not to do, the old minister knows that the emperor is worried about the treasury, but he can't deal with Luo Yi, Luo Yi is a hero, and he is the emperor's right-hand man." In the world, how can anyone cut off his own arms to fill his stomach. ”
Don't look at Wei Chi Gong's five big and three thick, when he talks, he is the head of the way.
This is quite profound, how can anyone in the world cut off his own arm to fill his stomach, Li Shimin did this, isn't it just to cut off his own arm to satisfy hunger.
Thinking about the cause and effect of the incident, Li Shimin already knew that he had made a big mistake, but as an emperor, of course he couldn't openly admit it in front of his courtiers, otherwise what would be the majesty.
Li Shimin glanced at everyone and said: "There is no need to say more about this matter, for the sake of today, it is to think about how to resist the Xiliang army." ”
"Mao Gong, you have the most ghost ideas, you can talk about it."
Xu Maogong has been thinking about how to resist foreign enemies, Xiliang rebelled, and will repeat the wave of two years ago, Xu Maogong sighed: "Xiliang people are good at fighting, and the king of Xiliang is born to rebel, just entered the court, and will rebel, this is to let the tiger return to the mountain, and the future will be endless." Fortunately, when Luo Yi was there, our country's treasury was greatly filled, and even if there was a war, we were not afraid of Xiliang. ”
"The emperor should take precautions as soon as possible, mobilize a large army to the border, and prevent the Xiliang army from going south."
Li Shimin said: "Okay, I will give an order to the soldiers stationed around Chang'an, quickly gather in Chang'an, with Lu Guogong in command, Wei Chigong as the vanguard, you as the military division, the eldest grandson Wuji as the supervisor, and the whole army of 200,000 to go." ”
"This expedition to the west is not only to repel the Xiliang soldiers, but also to set foot on the Xiliang and return peace to the west!"
Everyone bowed their hands to each other: "Obey." ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Luo Yi will not rebel easily, let alone help the King of Xiliang to be an enemy of my Tang Dynasty, as long as the emperor promises not to pursue his faults, the minister is willing to persuade him to return to the court." ”
"Your Majesty, you can change your mistakes, it's Mingjun's doing."
"Shut up, do you mean, I'm a faint king?"
Li Shimin said angrily: "All retreat, I am tired." Hum! ”
Li Shimin snorted heavily, waved his sleeves, and left the imperial study.
Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said: "The emperor refuses to admit his mistake, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid Luo Yi will really rebel." ”
Xu Mao said fairly: "What I'm worried about is that Luo Yi has endless wealth in his hands and a grain station in Jiangnan, if he fully supports Zhou Gandang, it will be a big threat to us." ”
"Yes, if you can win over Luo Yi, it's best to win over, there's no need to be so stiff, he is my Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, and he has been loyal for generations, alas..."
Wei Chigong said: "What's the use of talking about this now, it's too late." ”
"Xiliang has decided to raise troops, we can't show weakness, no matter whether Luo Yi will join in or not, we should be completely prepared."
"Lu Guogong, let's go to the barracks, count the soldiers and horses, and prepare to go to the battle."
Cheng Yanjin thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay to go and have a look." When I get to Xiliang, I will discuss with Luo Yi again and make him change his mind. ”
Having made up their minds, everyone walked out of the imperial study and scattered.
.............
Time flies quickly, and the New Year is almost the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
After Luo Yi finished his marriage with Zhou Qiao, he also began to prepare for going to Longxi.
Zhou Gandang once promised that he could lend Luo Yi 20,000 cavalry as a force to stabilize Longxi, and after Longxi stabilized, he would return 20,000 troops.
On this day, Luo Yi found Zhou Gandang and mentioned the matter. Zhou Gandang also believed in his word, and did not repent, and immediately introduced a brave and resourceful general named Han Wu to Luo Yi, who was responsible for commanding 20,000 cavalry and assisting Luo Yi to go to Longxi.
Luo Yi took a closer look at the general, he was really a tiger's back, very strong, I remember that at the wedding, Luo Yi also had two drinks with him, everyone is an acquaintance, but they are not strangers.
Luo Yi said: "Thank you, King, then General Han." With the help of General Han, all the Xiaoxiao in Longxi are not opponents. ”
Zhou Gandang seemed to be a little uneasy, pulled Han Wu aside, and admonished: "General Han, the intention of going to Longxi this time is to stabilize the situation, and after defeating all forces, return immediately and go to the front line to support the southern expeditionary army, do not hesitate." ”
"Yes, the Admiral understands."
Luo Yi smiled and said, "King, don't worry, there won't be any accidents." ”
Zhou Gandang was not worried about Han Wu's safety, but he didn't trust Luo Yi very much, and was afraid that Luo Yi would deceive people and fool his general, Luo Yi has always been cunning and abnormal.
After telling him, Zhou Gandang waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's go, go to the barracks and order 20,000 cavalry, and go to Longxi on a certain day." ”
Luo Yi said: "There is no need to choose a day, after waiting for some soldiers, let's go on the expedition tomorrow, go early and return early, so as to help the king on his southern expedition." ”
"General Han, let's go, let's go to the barracks and have a look."
Han Wu nodded, followed Luo Yi, and walked out of the study.
Zhou Gandang looked out in the room, and when he couldn't see the two of them at all, he went back to his seat and sat down.
Even though everything was arranged, he was still very uneasy.
"Your lord, what is the matter with your ministers?"
Not long after, Li Heng arrived at the study.
Zhou Gandang pulled Li Heng and said: "Prime Minister, is it a little inappropriate for this king to hand over 20,000 troops to Luo Yi like this?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with it, isn't this what the king promised Luo Yi, we can't break our promise, we will have to rely on Luo Yi to hand over money and food in the future."
"This king is not breaking his word, but he is worried that Han Wu will be bewitched by Luo Yi, this..."
Li Heng understood what Zhou Gandang meant, and immediately smiled: "The king is too worried, compared to the king, what is Luo Yi, Han Wu will never take refuge in him." He is a smart man and knows how to choose. ”
"They will go to Longxi this time, at most for half a year, or as little as a few months, Han Wu will definitely come back."
Zhou Gandang sighed and said, "I hope it's as you said." However, this Wang Ren is not at ease, you can choose one of these officials in Jincheng, as the supervising army, follow him, and tell him that once the situation in Longxi is stable, let Han Wu lead the army back. ”
"Yes."
Li Heng arched his hand and said, "Then the minister will go and look for candidates." ”
Zhao Wenxian sent someone to send news that he had received Luo Tong, Mrs. Luo, Lanni and others, who were rushing towards Xiliang, and had already passed through Sleepy Yang City, and they were in Xiliang in a blink of an eye.
This family migration, very smooth, did not encounter anything on the road, Xu Zhen is the reason for the speed of the soldiers, only a month to Xiliang, along the way the guards do not know what happened, to the people of the Guogong Mansion are courteous.
After getting this news, Luo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Luo and Luo Tong came, and he no longer had any worries.
It's just a pity that it is imperative to go to Longxi, and it is too late to wait for everyone, so you can only take the first step.
Luo Yi left a message to Chu Jun, and after Mrs. Luo and Luo Tong arrived, they arranged to live in Zuixianju, and when Longxi stabilized, they moved their family there.
Early the next morning, Luo Yi and Han Wu set off, and Luo Yi made an impassioned call on the school field, arousing the eagerness of all the soldiers to make meritorious contributions, and followed Luo Yi to Longxi with high spirits.
There are 20,000 iron horsemen, except for the last Xiliang battle, Luo Yi really hasn't seen it.
When he went out of the Jincheng gate, Luo Yi listened to the soldiers' report, and when he went out in the morning, the front army had walked for several miles, and the rear army had just left the city, and the whole team stretched for almost ten miles, like an inky black dragon, slowly swimming to the west.
When the cavalry first came out of the city gate, the speed was slow, but after leaving Jincheng, Luo Yi and Han Wu both unanimously decided to speed up. So, on the same day, the team traveled more than 200 miles and left the sphere of influence of Jincheng County.
