Li Heng hurriedly smiled and said, "That's not what you said, there must be a rule, right?" How can a horse travel without water? Marshal Wang, we are going to Pingyuan City to fight, you should not take these people with you, these people still have to share our food and water, can it go on like this? You can't just ignore the big picture in order for the people to say hello. ”

Wang Yuan was dumbfounded: "It turns out that the prince said that I was selling my reputation and saving the people to gain fame, right?" ”

Li Heng hurriedly said: "No, no, I didn't mean that, I mean ......"

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Lord Feng, you have taught me too much to disappoint. You are a member of the Tang Dynasty, and if you have the opportunity to ascend to the Great Treasure in the future, these people are all your subjects. All the food you use is provided by these people, and with them, you can have the Tang Dynasty's society and the lofty status of your royal family, do you understand this truth? Your entourage scolds the people for being untouchables, do you know that these untouchables are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty? You said that you would follow Emperor Taizong's example, but your behavior did not look like Emperor Taizong at all. How much do you know about the truth that Emperor Taizong admired? ”

Li Heng saw Wang Yuan's cold eyes, and suddenly realized that the matter in front of him had made Wang Yuan really angry. He realized that if he didn't calm Wang Yuan's anger, he was afraid that the relationship with Wang Yuan would be stiff. So he made a decision and immediately admitted his mistake, although he didn't think he was wrong, but he only followed Wang Yuan's meaning.

"What Marshal Wang said was extremely true, which made me feel like I was empowered, but I was also embarrassed. Marshal Wang, I will make up for my mistakes and give an explanation to the marshal and the beaten people. ”

After saying that, Li Heng suddenly pulled out his long sword from his waist, walked quickly to the entourage who was tied up with five flowers, and shouted and scolded: "Bastard, you have ruined the reputation of my Tang Dynasty royal family and smeared our Tang royal family, this crime is unforgivable." ”

The attendant opened his mouth wide and said in astonishment: "Lord Wang......"

Li Heng didn't allow him to speak, and raised his hand and stabbed a sword into the chest of the attendant. When the sword was drawn, a stream of blood rushed out. The attendant opened his mouth and snorted, but after a moment he hung his head and died.

"Marshal Wang, I've already dealt with this guy. Although it was his fault, I was also responsible for this matter, and I did not stop it in time. This king is at the disposal of the marshal, and there is no second word. Li Heng turned around and said in a deep voice.

Wang Yuan was also a little surprised, he suddenly seemed to reacquaint himself with Li Heng, the image of Li Heng in his impression was slowly peeling off and collapsing, revealing a real Li Heng. It turns out that this Feng Wang is not as shrunken as he thinks in his eyes, and he is even a little naïve and ridiculous. The other side of him is so decisive and vicious, and he knows how to respond to opportunities. This is a brand new Li Heng.

"Well, you don't have to kill him. All it takes is a lesson. Wang Yuan didn't want to make too much of a fuss, after all, this Feng Wang Ye was still useful.

"No, no, what Marshal Wang said just now is very true, water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, Emperor Taizong respected this sentence, that is the most reasonable words. I really shouldn't have left it unchecked today. To forgive me for my mistakes, I have decided to give up a dozen horses to ride on the old and weak, and the king will march on foot. Li Heng said.

Wang Yuan doesn't know what to say, what else do he have to say so far? If people's posture is so low, do they really not give up?

"If Prince Feng can comprehend, it is a blessing for the people. The prince himself watched and did it. Let's go, go to the glade in the forest to discuss the march, and the matter will be revealed, and no one will mention it. ”

Wang Yuan turned around and strode away. Zhao Qing and Tan Ping also left. The crowd dispersed, and King Feng Li Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and said to several stunned entourages beside him: "Dig a pit and bury him." You must be very dissatisfied with this king in your hearts, and I know that Wang Wu and you have a deep friendship, but this king has no choice. Then you will understand the king's troubles. You can rest assured, the king's five families will be generously supported by the king, you don't have to panic about this matter, the king still depends on you. ”

……

Wang Yuan summoned everyone in the glade to discuss how to speed up the march and get the people to move with the army. After the episode just now, Li Heng was very active, in addition to saying that he would give his horses to the people to ride, he also actively offered advice. It's just that most of the methods are useless.

Everyone proposed a solution, and some proposed that all the horses should be ridden by the old and weak, and the guards would be changed to walking, which would speed up the journey. Others say that vehicles are built on the spot, so that the people can sit in the carts and the horses will pull them away. But these measures were all vetoed by Wang Yuan one by one.

A major premise is that the soldiers and horses cannot be dragged down from exhaustion, and whether it is a soldier or a war horse, there may be a fierce battle after arriving in Plains City. If the soldiers had walked for several days, they would have died of exhaustion. War horses are not animals that pull carts, so the war horses are even more violent, and these war horses will be abolished. Moreover, the reason why Wang Yuan dared to lead 3,000 cavalry across the hinterland of the rebels was that this was a cavalry unit with strong mobility and impact. The attack can be lightning fast, and the retreat can be like a wind and falling leaves, leaving the other party unable to catch up. This is where the cavalry excels.

It has been known that a large number of rebels have besieged the city for months, and although there are less than 15,000 of them, it is also a great threat. If the people are sleepy and the horses are tired, they will rush there, and then they will not be able to attack or avoid them, and they will not bring about their own destruction.

And at this rate, it will take six or seven days to reach Pingyuan City, which greatly violates the principle of Wang Yuan's fierce attack. On the one hand, the exhaustion of soldiers and horses was on the one hand, and on the other hand, Wang Yuan was worried that the attack on the three cities would soon spread. At that time, not only will the enemy soldiers under the plain city be on guard, but the rebels in Zhengzhou, Bianzhou, and Taiyuan Mansion in the north of Taihang Mountain in the rear may also gather to outflank and encircle from the north and south. It seemed like it was still a long way off, but five or six days was enough time for the rebels in these state capitals to arrive. At that time, not to mention saving Yan Zhenqing and saving the people, it is unknown whether the soldiers and horses can retreat.

Everyone talked about it, but seeing that Wang Yuan had been frowning and not speaking, they knew that Wang Yuan was not satisfied with the suggestion he put forward.

Gongsun Lan asked Wang Yuan softly: "Erlang, if you have an idea in your heart, say it, and all the people in the province are wasting time here." Since you can't be satisfied with your proposals, tell me what you are going to do, and you can discuss and discuss. ”

Wang Yuan nodded slightly, and said, "I really don't think the ideas you put forward are very suitable. At present, we have to make two things clear, one is to relieve the siege of Pingyuan City and rescue the besieged Yan Taishou and the people of Pingyuan City. Second, these people who are with us must also be saved. I don't want to be overwhelmed by the delay and my brothers are too tired to fight, and I don't want to see my pursuers overtake me and surrounded by them. And we can't leave the people alone. Therefore, if you want to be thoughtful about both, I think there is only one way to do it. ”

"Marshal, please say, what is the solution?" Zhao Qing and other generals said one after another.

"Divide the troops. Leaving some soldiers and horses to guard the people forward, the rest of the soldiers and horses immediately raided to Pingyuan County according to the original plan. Solve the siege of the plains as fast as you can. Come back and answer the people. Wang Yuan said.

"This ...... With a big war just around the corner, it's not a wise thing to do to divide your forces. In total, we frightened more than 2,800 people, and if we divided our troops, it would be difficult for the city of the plains. Zhao Qing frowned.

"Yes, it is really a good idea to divide the troops at this time. Why don't we go to the plains to fight under the city first, let the people walk slowly, and then we will come back to meet them. Tan Ping also said.

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "I didn't know that dividing the troops was the next step, but I had to do it. I also had Tan Ping's thoughts, but if you look at these people, if there are no soldiers and horses to escort and take care of them, I am afraid that many people will die on the road, so we don't take them out, since we have promised them, we must ensure their safety. Not only do we have to escort them, but we also have to distribute water and food for them to eat. On the road, they should take care of the carry, carry the carry, and carry the carry, and they cannot be left to life and death. So. Compared with the soldiers and horses who went to fight in Pingyang City, the responsibility of staying behind was greater and more difficult. It was also necessary for the pursuers behind the embankment to arrive. At this pace of marching, it is likely to be overtaken. So I'm not really worried about the war under the Plains, but about the people who stay. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks. Wang Yuan valued the lives of the people so much that he insisted on saving them, and everyone had no choice. This time, in fact, many people did not agree with Wang Yuan's approach. In such a situation, to be dragged down by the people, and I don't know what the marshal thinks, isn't this asking for trouble? When did Dashuai become so merciful? When he was in Jiannan, Dashuai was not such a person. At the beginning, in order to loot money and goods, Jian Nantian was angry and resentful, and he also ordered to kill many troublemakers.

"Who wants to stay and protect the people? Escorting the people slowly? Wang Yuan asked.

No one was silent, and no one wanted to stay on this errand. Wang Yuan's gaze swept on the faces of the generals of the guards, and when he saw Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Dashuai, it's not that I'm unwilling, I just feel that I'm incompetent." I'm short-tempered, but I don't have the patience. Besides, if the siege is gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

"Why can't you and me without you?" Tan Ping interjected.

Zhao Qing glanced at Tan Ping angrily and said, "Then why don't you stay?" ”

Tan Ping rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just as impatient as you, you're not competent, and I'm not competent." ”

Zhao Qing said: "That's not it, neither of us is competent." ”

Wang Yuan frowned and glanced around, except for Tan Ping and Zhao Qing, it was difficult for others to be alone, and these two people were unwilling to stay and accept this matter, which was a tricky matter. Is it possible to give a death order?

"Erlang, I'll stay, give me a hundred soldiers, and I'll stay and escort the people slowly." Gongsun Lan suddenly said loudly.

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "You? ”

Gongsun Lan smiled: "Yes, can't I make it?" It was also because of me, and if I had not advised you to take the people with you, there would have been no such problem. Therefore it is up to me to escort the people. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and was silent, Li Xin'er on the side gritted his teeth and said, "Let me escort you, my cousin needs to help Erlang during the siege, and you can't be missing." I happened to be unable to use my shoulders, and I followed behind and slowly escorted the people, which can be regarded as doing my part. ”

"I am also willing to stay and help Twelve Niang escort the people together. I also have injuries on my body, and I can't help Erlang. Qing Yun'er said softly.

"Then I will stay and help my two sisters. My injuries have not healed, and I am not allowed to participate in siege battles. Zi Yun'er was also busy.

Wang Yuan was grateful in his heart, in fact, although Li Xin'er's injury had not healed, it was by no means impossible to kill the enemy on horseback. Qingyun'er and Ziyun'er are even more wounds that have already healed. They are willing to come forward just to solve problems for themselves. Gongsun Lan was indispensable in the siege of the city, so they were willing to replace Gongsun Lan so that she could assist them in attacking the city. In the end, this is their virtuous and virtuous act.

But Wang Yuan hesitated, he knew that the task of escorting the people was very difficult, and it seemed like nothing, but it was likely to become a dangerous errand.

When she was hesitating, Li Xin'er smiled and said: "It's so decided, aren't you worried that the people are afraid that we will leave them and run away, and you are afraid in your heart?" I am your wife, and wouldn't it be better for us to stay and reassure the people? This is better than the other generals staying to calm people's hearts. You leave us some soldiers and horses, and the rest will not have to worry about it, in short, we will escort the people safely. After you have defeated the enemy, you should hurry up and answer it. That's it, don't hesitate, it's too much time to delay, it's time for you to get ready to go. ”

At this time, Wang Yuan had nothing to say, so he could only leave a hundred personal guards to escort him. At the same time, he carefully told the three daughters, telling them not to panic, use their brains more, and think of more ways, and their mother-in-law and mother were urged to leave by Li Xin'er for a while.

Two thousand five hundred cavalry were ready to go on the road, and this time they no longer had any worries, and rushed to the official road under the scorching sun. In the eyes of the people, the dust rolled away.

……

More than 100 miles away, there is a small city standing alone on the land under the scorching sun, which is the Pingyuan City of Zhishuo of Pingyuan County, which belongs to Hebei Province.

Plains City was originally a barren county, and the people lived in poverty. But since the arrival of a new Taishou five years ago, the place has quickly changed its appearance. After taking office, the new Taishou began to rectify the governance of local officials, abolish excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, reward talents, and rectify law and order. and personally led the people to reclaim the land and dig ditches and dredge the river. In just three years, this barren plain town has become clean and prosperous.

This Taishou is the palace servant Shi Yan Zhenqing who was transferred from outside the capital. The reason why he was demoted from Beijing to the plains was because he offended Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong. At that time, Li Shizhi and Li Linfu competed for power, and the courtiers stood in their own lines, but Yan Zhenqing was unwilling to join the same stream, so he was squeezed out by the two parties and had to leave Beijing to take up his post. But in this way, it gave Yan Zhenqing a chance to avoid and display his talents. In just three years, Yan Zhenqing has made the political and common people of Pingyuan County live and work in peace and contentment, which has been unanimously recognized by the top and bottom.

Two years ago, Yan Zhenqing's friend, Gao Shi, a contemporary celebrity of the Tang Dynasty and a great poet, came to Pingyuan City to visit Yan Zhenqing. After witnessing the grand scene of Pingyuan City under Yan Zhenqing's governance, Gao Shi also wrote an enthusiastic hymn to Yan Zhenqing.

The poem says: The emperor guards the plain, and the horse goes out of the Kanto. The silver seal hangs down the waist, and the book of heaven is in the basket. After conceiving to the official, sit back and raise the breeze. The rich have bowed their heads and fled to return to the peasants.

Prior to this, most of the impressions of the officials and people of the Tang Dynasty on Yan Zhenqing were that he was a master of calligraphy today and a famous scholar in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty, but they knew little about his political talents. And after coming to Pingyuan County, Yan Zhenqing finally released his talent, which was impressive.

But the people who have been in contact with Yan Zhenqing a lot also know another characteristic of him, that is, he insists on what he thinks in his heart, is not forced by power, and never mixes with others. At that time, Li Shizhi, Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others naturally deeply understood this, because when they were fighting for power and profit, Yan Zhenqing wrote to Xuanzong more than once to express his dissatisfaction with them. At that time, it was not a simple matter to be able to write to His Majesty to express his dissatisfaction with these three people, and it would never be possible to do it without great courage and courage, without the strength in his heart. Moreover, Yan Zhenqing is very principled, it was after learning that Wang Yuan was also mixed with these people, even though Yan Zhenqing deeply admired Wang Yuan's poetry and calligraphy in his heart, he still resolutely broke off relations with Wang Yuan's poems, without any hesitation at all.

This is Yan Zhenqing, a Tang celebrity who has his own persistence and principles in his heart, and is iron-clad.

Of course, Yan Zhenqing is not a lonely person, he will not choose to be out of sight and out of mind like many celebrities in the Tang Dynasty, and choose to retreat to the mountains and forests to complain. In Pingyuan County, on the one hand, he governed government affairs, and on the other hand, Yan Zhenqing never gave up paying attention to all affairs in the DPRK and China. Even if others are soft-spoken and have no say in the affairs of the DPRK and China, it does not mean that he does not have his own judgments and ideas.

Since he left Beijing, the situation in the DPRK and China has been changing and turbulent. First, Li Yong's case involved Li Shizhi, Li Shizhi was dismissed and fell, and finally drowned in a big river inexplicably. Later, Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu fought for power and profit, and later Yang Guozhong monopolized power, Li Linfu was exhumed and became a sinner in the Tang Dynasty. He has his own ideas about everything, but there is no other way to express it except to say a few words to his close friends.

Of course, he has always paid attention to the ups and downs of one person, and that is Wang Yuan. Although he broke off relations with this person, this person is a talented person that Yan Zhenqing has always admired. The level of Wang Yuan's poetry is breathtaking, even if this person's character is at a loss, but his talent and learning cannot be erased. And it was this Wang Yuan who gave Yan Zhenqing countless surprises, when Yan Zhenqing learned that Wang Yuan was appointed by Yang Guozhong as the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu to crusade against Nanzhao, he was worried that this young man who was only literate would miss the major events of the Tang Dynasty. However, what happened later amazed Yan Zhenqing.

In the past few years, Wang Yuanping's Southern Zhao, the news of breaking the Tubo and killing the Quartet came one by one, and Yan Zhenqing was really shocked. Moreover, Yan Zhenqing did not hear that Wang Yuan did anything to harm the Tang Dynasty after he was attached to Yang Guozhong, but on the contrary, he also heard many rumors of disagreement between Wang Yuan and Yang Guozhong. That time, his cousin Yan Gaoqing, the Taishou of Changshan County, accompanied An Lushan to the capital to celebrate the birthday of the noble concubine, and when he came back, he came to Pingyuan City to talk to Yan Zhenqing about meeting Wang Yuan. When he heard that Wang Yuan still remembered himself and still regarded him as a friend, Yan Zhenqing also had a strange feeling in his heart. Yan Zhenqing sometimes reflects on his behavior, just because he was friends with Yang Guozhong, he used Yang Guozhong's ascension to the throne and listed him as a person who tends to be inflammatory, is this a kind of extremism. If Wang Yuan did not have the support of Yang Guozhong, how could he have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's southern and northern wars today.

However, Wang Yuan is in the western border of the Tang Dynasty, and Yan Zhenqing is in the eastern border of the Tang Dynasty, which are thousands of mountains and rivers, far away from the ends of the earth. Yan Zhenqing, as a taishou, is only allowed to enter Beijing once a year to report on his work. And Wang Yuan, as an envoy of the festival, naturally rarely goes to the capital, even if the two have the opportunity to enter Beijing, they mostly pass by.

A series of changes in the court have led to the turmoil of the situation in the imperial court, and Yan Zhenqing clearly felt this. Especially in the past two years, as an official under An Lushan, Yan Zhenqing has keenly captured the changes in An Lushan. Originally, Yan Zhenqing had an objection to using Hu as a general, which was also a point of disagreement between him and Li Linfu. With An Lushan getting the east of the river, the situation of the three provinces under the jurisdiction of An Lushan has become extremely delicate.

These subtleties can only be felt when you are in it, and everything is normal in the eyes of outsiders, but in Yan Zhenqing's opinion, he has really felt the danger of the approaching storm. An Lushan hoarded grain, grass and military equipment, had close contacts with the Xi people, and constantly changed officials in the state capital with whom he disagreed. The continuous promotion of Hu generals to the leading generals in the army makes people very suspicious.

Yan Zhenqing communicated his judgment with his cousin Yan Gaoqing, but Yan Gaoqing thought that he was making a big fuss. Yan Zhenqing didn't think that he was making a fuss, and the insistence in his personality made him feel the need to remind the imperial court. So, for a certain period of time, among the limited few people who wrote to Xuanzong and reminded Xuanzong to prevent An Lushan from rebelling, there was Yan Zhenqing.

But Xuanzong's reaction was to ignore it at all. Because Yang Guozhong often whispered in Xuanzong's ear that An Lushan was going to rebel, Xuanzong regarded all this as a contradiction between Yang Guozhong and An Lushan. Therefore, all the twists and turns in this regard were regarded by Xuanzong as dependent on Yang Guozhong, so he laughed at it.

The twists and turns were ignored by the imperial court, but Yan Zhenqing did not give up. He went to Fanyang and Fuzhou for a trip on the grounds of meeting friends and talking about poetry, saying that he was visiting friends, but in fact, he wanted to investigate what the situation was like in Fanyangping, Lu Yanzhou, and other core places of An Lushan's power. In Xiongwu City, he saw mountains of grain, grass, supplies, armor, blades, and a huge number of war horses and chariots. In the border town, he saw the soldiers and horses of the Hu people of the Xi nationality shuttling on the border like no one. All this made Yan Zhenqing feel very uneasy. He was convinced that An Lushan must have some ghost idea.

So after returning to Pingyuan County, Yan Zhenqing felt that he needed to take precautions. Since the court doesn't believe in his own words, and he doesn't have any definite evidence to prove anything, if he makes too much trouble, he will be punished for slander, Yan Zhenqing will not be pedantic to that extent. So he felt the need to save himself.
