Chapter 821: Impermanence
(Xie: Three yellow teeth, like to look at you Baidu, moshaocong three brothers reward, Xie: Kakaa handicap, 100 possibilities, face like peach blossom and other brothers' tickets)
On the evening of July 17, after the fiery sun set, Wang Yuan and others also ushered in the moment of departure. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Gao Xianzhi and the generals sent them outside the eastern city of Puzhou, watching Wang Yuan and the others and the three thousand cavalry slowly disappear eastward into the twilight, all the generals were a little silent. The style of this Tang legend is incomprehensible. This kind of action doesn't really need to be done at all, or it doesn't need to be done himself, and he enjoys it.
Compared with Gao Xianzhi, Liu Dehai and others who are more concerned about Wang Yuan's safety, Li Guangbi and others are more concerned about the consequences of this move. If Wang Yuan is captured or killed in danger, it will have a huge impact on the entire battle situation, and this person's insistence on doing so is obviously contrary to the consideration of the overall situation. In private, Li Guangbi's views were also shared by Guo Ziyi.
Wang Yuan is a legend, and his experience and the heights he has reached are unparalleled. If it is said that among the several famous marshals who are now standing on the spire of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Yuan is undoubtedly the most dazzling and glorious one, which is also admired by countless generals of the Tang Dynasty. However, admiration is admiration, and some things still cannot be agreed upon. Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi asked themselves that they and Wang Yuan were two types of people. If they were the commanders of the army, they would not personally take risks for the sake of a Yan Zhenqing. Not to mention understanding the so-called Datang spirit of 'not giving up and not abandoning' that Wang Yuan said. In their opinion, giving up Yan Zhenqing is not a big deal, there is no need to rise to the same height as Wang Yuan said, it is purely a small fuss and no priority.
At the moment when Wang Yuan left the camp, Li Guangbi also made a decision, he wanted to go back to Chengdu to see His Majesty. First, he wanted to thank His Majesty for ordering Wang Yuan to rescue him, and there were other things he also wanted to talk to His Majesty. Because in the entire army of the Shence Army, Li Guangbi felt a strange atmosphere. It was an atmosphere of absolute obedience and worship for Wang Yuan, which was rare in the army. And this atmosphere makes him look out of place in the Shence Army. Especially after that night's dispute, the generals in the Shence Army were very repulsive towards themselves. It's not because it's sensitive, but it does have a feeling of being excluded and ignored by everyone, which makes Li Guangbi very unhappy.
After he got out of trouble, he was going to exert all his strength to lead the army to quell the rebellion and do something big, but now he suddenly found that he didn't have any room to exert himself. So he needed to go to Xuanzong, seek solace, and seek Xuanzong's help. With this Marshal Wang, Li Guangbi still felt that he couldn't get along.
When asking Guo Ziyi's opinion, Guo Ziyi also felt the same way. So the two hit it off, and on the second day after Wang Yuan left the army, they made an appointment to meet Gao Xianzhi, expressing their attitude of wanting to return to Chengdu to see the driver. Gao Xianzhi didn't stop them, and readily agreed to them. It's just that when Li Guangbi proposed to bring the Shuofang army back to Chengdu as well, Gao Xianzhi categorically rejected them.
Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi couldn't help it, but they had already made up their minds, so they and Guo Ziyi resolutely left the camp with hundreds of relatives and went to Chengdu to meet Xuanzong.
……
Scorching summer, July fire. The four seasons in the north of the Tang Dynasty are distinct, the winter is extremely cold, the wind is like a knife, and the summer is exposed to the scorching sun, just like putting people on the stove to roast. Especially in the ninth year of Tianbao, it was really an eventful autumn, An Lushan's rebellion had already made the Tang Dynasty like a fire, and God seemed to follow suit, since the New Year, it has rained less than three times. In the summer, there is not a drop of rain. The rivers have dried up, the fields have become barren, and the vast fields of the north have turned into a gray desert, and the cracked earth is like the open mouth of a thirsty man, waiting for rain from heaven.
There is no rain and it is hot, and when the sun rises every day, the heavens and the earth are like a great oven, enough to scorch everything and burn everything. Man-made disasters are connected with natural disasters, as if the people of the world are not given a way to live. As the saying goes, heaven and earth are unkind and all things are dogs, and God shows his majesty and ruthlessness mercilessly.
In the Luoyang Palace, An Lushan was naked, wearing only a loose pair of shorts, lying on the big chair panting. The obese An Lushan is most afraid of the heat, and although Luoyang and Fanyang Jiedu envoys are only separated by less than a thousand miles, the large contrast in temperature makes An Lushan unbearable.
Although beside him, seven or eight chamberlains and palace maids waved big fans up and down, so tired that they were panting and their faces were flushed, An Lushan was still sweating profusely, and he was hot like a dead dog spread on a chair.
However, in fact, the heat is not An Lushan's greatest enemy, and the source of the smell of corruption that permeates the dormitory is An Lushan's number one rival. Since ascending the throne, An Lushan has inexplicably had poisonous sores on his body. A few poisonous sores on the belly had begun to fester, and they had begun to fester, emitting a foul stench. There were more than a dozen flies flying in the room, buzzing and flying around An Lushan's festering belly, and quickly landed on the few ulcerated and rotten pustules on An Lushan's belly while the palace maid was fanning.
In addition to the festering sores on his stomach, he also had cysts in his eyes for unknown reasons. A few days ago, it was only slightly red and swollen, but today it is swollen like two big peaches. From the gap between his eyes, which had swelled into a slit, there was also a yellow, foul-smelling liquid.
"Are they all dying? Haven't you had enough to eat? I'm sweating profusely, and you're still not making any effort, do you want to die of heat? ”
An Lushan gasped and cursed on the soft chair, stretched out his foot and kicked it violently, and the lower abdomen of a palace maid standing on the side of the fan was in the middle. The palace maid squatted on the ground with her stomach covered with an 'oops', her face instantly turned sallow, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her face. The kick nearly kicked her intestines.
The fans in the hands of the rest of the palace maids and chamberlains immediately sped up, and suddenly like a gust of wind, scared the flies crawling on the wounds without a trace.
An Lushan felt a little comfortable coolness, and shouted in a straight voice: "Li Zhu'er, where is Li Zhu'er?" What about the ice cubes that I said would chill the melons and fruits to cool off? Where are the dog slaves and maids running away to be lazy? I didn't kill you alive. ”
After the words fell, Li Zhu'er hurriedly came in from outside the hall with a tray, and on a piece of ice on the tray were a few slices of watermelon cut, and the watermelon and ice cubes were steaming cold.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where are the slaves and pigs? Your Majesty is angry, the slave is going to get you a chilled watermelon to cool off. The watermelon is chilled for you, and look, the black seed and red flesh are still cold and cold, Your Majesty will eat two pieces to cool off. It's not easy for me to find slaves, but I found a few watermelons in and out of the city. This ice cube, the slave maid also searched for a long time in the big family in Luoyang City, and only then did she find some ice cubes saved last winter in the cellar of Duanwang's Mansion. It's not easy to be a slave. Li Zhu'er came to the front and said in a sharp voice.
An Lushan smiled and said: "Well, yes, yes, a little filial piety." I'm dying of heat, so help me sit up and let me eat two pieces to cool off. ”
Li Zhu'er agreed, put the tray on the small table, walked quickly behind An Lushan, and used his thin body to lift An Lushan's fat upper body with great difficulty, and let him sit up. A palace maid was busy stuffing a pillow behind An Lushan's back so that he could lean on it to support his fat body.
"Bring it." An Lushan stretched out his hand. When he sat up, he could see that his eyes were already red and swollen, and both eyes had swelled into a slit, and it was obvious that he could no longer see anything.
Li Zhu'er hurriedly picked up the tray and handed it to An Lushan, An Lushan stretched out his hand and groped for it, touched the ice cube, and shivered coldly.
"Your Majesty, go up, go up a little." Li Zhu'er reminded.
An Lushan scolded angrily: "I know, should you be blind? I can see it clearly. ”
Li Zhu'er didn't dare to squeak, An Lushan fumbled and finally touched a piece of watermelon, picked it up and put it into his mouth with a belt to chew, and hummed with satisfaction. The juice from the watermelon flowed down the yellow, curly beard down to the neck, and then mixed with sweat and ran through the belly to a few ulcerated pus pockets in the abdomen. The cold water stains touched the wound, and An Lushan, who was stimulated, cried out in pain. Li Zhu'er was busy wiping his stomach with a cloth towel, but unexpectedly, his hand was slightly forced, and he touched the abscess, and An Lushan shouted loudly.
"Dog minion, do you want to die of pain? I know that none of you are well-intentioned. ”
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is angry, and the slave and maid are lighter." Li Zhu'er endured the nausea, gently wiped off the foul-smelling blood oozing from the pus bag with a cloth towel, and nauseated several times in his throat, and finally forcibly held it back.
An Lushan ate watermelon and felt more comfortable. Squinted his swollen eyes and said, "Li Zhu'er, my wound is almost healed?" Why do I always feel numb, and are those imperial doctors' medicines useful? ”
Li Zhu'er was stunned and smiled: "The numb crisp is a sign of healing, Your Majesty don't worry." Your Majesty's great fortune is beyond the power of a few small scabies. ”
An Lushan said: "No, tell me honestly, what is the wound?" I felt worse and worse, dizzy, weak, and my whole body hurt terribly. ”
Li Zhu'er laughed and said, "Didn't the slave say it?" It's almost right, it's almost enough, Your Majesty relaxes. ”
"You dare to lie to me, to my face? You look at me and don't know anything, do you? I was kept alive by you people, and I didn't know when I died. An Lushan suddenly became angry.
"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry. The slave and maid are honest. The poisonous sores on His Majesty's stomach...... Not so good...... That one...... Not so good. ”
"What's not so good? Make it clear to me.
