Rewind the clock to a few days ago. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Xiang was placed in a single room, and the supplies of food and clothing were in place, but he was not allowed to go out without permission, and there were soldiers guarding the door, which was equivalent to house arrest. Since he had a separate conversation with Xie Ai before, he felt a little more relaxed in his heart, and found out that Xie Ai should not harm his life for the time being. Of course, this degree of safety is not unconditional, as for whether he can save his life in the end, so as to return to his homeland without danger, he can't do anything about it, but it depends on the reaction of Chengdu, and it depends on whether his nephew emperor really cares about him.

Thinking worriedly, there was a low and short voice outside the door, and two figures entered. Li Xiang looked up, but it was his nephew Li Zhi and Li Yun, and he subconsciously wanted to stand up to meet him.

"Old lady! We have been released by Xie Ai and are about to return, before leaving, Xie Ai allowed me to resign to you. Li Wan stepped forward quickly, grabbed Li Xiang's arm, and motioned for him to sit down quickly. After not seeing each other for a long time, Li Xiang actually looked more and more old and haggard, and the old Yuanrong, who was full of spirit before the expedition, was like two people.

Hearing that the two of them were about to be released and return to China, Li Xiang felt a burst of loss and anxiety in his heart, hurriedly raised his drooping eyelids, grabbed Li Yun's arm in turn, and hurriedly said: "You can return to China safely, and you are alone in front of Xie Ai to say all the good things." Once you get rid today, don't forget that Lone is still trapped here, for the sake of the same clan and clan, for the sake of Lone's kindness to you, you must always try to rescue Lone! ”

"What did the old lady say! How can we be the unrighteous and forgetful? In any case, the old lady must be brought back safely, and relaxed. ”

Li Wan relieved a few words, Li Zhi was yin by nature, so he didn't say much, and stepped forward and said straightforwardly: "Taifu, time is pressing, some words must be made clear in person, rude, and please forgive me." ”

Li Xiang knows that this nephew has the most eyes, and all kinds of small ideas come when he says, and he is not a simple and dull person. At that moment, he waved his hand again and again, saying that he would not care about any false courtesy, and asked Li Zhi to hurry into the topic.

Li Zhi nodded, leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Taifu also knows that Xie Ai begged His Majesty to cut off the three counties of Zitong, Brazil, and Padang before Taifu can be released." Now let me wait to go back, it's just a mouthpiece for him, which seems to have some weight. Taifu rest assured, after the two of us go back, we will definitely try our best to persuade in front of Your Majesty, so that he agrees to exchange the three counties for Taifu, and at this level, you can be sure that there is no worries. ”

Li Xiang relaxed his heart a lot, but saw that Li Zhi's face was still gloomy, and he didn't seem to have any important points to say, so he asked: "In short, I can let Gu return, and Gu will remember the love between the two of you." Is there anything else? ”

Li Zhi glanced back at the door, then turned his head and said, "Don't blame the old lady, listen to me say a few words." This time, His Majesty handed over 70,000 troops to the hands of Taifu, full of hope to expand the territory and promote the national prestige. Unexpectedly, once the army was defeated and the whole army was annihilated, it was simply the humiliation of losing the teacher and humiliating the country. Taifu can imagine that His Majesty's mood must be very resentful and resentful. Taifu can return safely, and it is a small matter; After going back, how to face Your Majesty, face the hundred officials, and face the world Li Shu, this is an unavoidable big event. ”

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, then shocked, stood up suddenly, and said in a lost voice: "Your words are very true, very true!" In this big defeat, someone must take responsibility and use it to calm the turbulent situation in the country. How can it be good to be alone as the commander of the whole army, and the crime cannot be shirked? ”

Concern is chaos. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but be shocked and worried. He is over the age of six, and to be honest, he doesn't expect to live another ten or eight years. But in his later years, he made such a big mistake that if Emperor Li Xiong was angry, he would definitely blame him. Then, it's just that he can't enjoy the glory and wealth, and when the time comes, it is not impossible to be stripped of his official position, put in prison or even given to death, he feels that his life is about to come to the last part, and he will make the late season unsafe and his reputation stinks, that is really dead and can't be blinded, which is really terrifying.

Seeing his complexion, Li Zhi smiled gloomily and said in a low voice: "Taifu may have been guilty of inexorable crimes, but I have a way to remove Taifu's guilt." However, after the matter settles down, I hope that the Taifu will say a lot of kind words in front of His Majesty, ask for the position of Yizhou Assassin and Che Cavalry General for me, and don't send me to the border as an official again, and my nephew will be grateful. ”

"Good! As long as you have a way to make Lone Return to the Dynasty innocent, then Lone Bao will make you a general of the chariot and horseman! ”

Li Xiang was unconsciously led, and hurriedly responded, where can he still care about Li Zhi as a junior, as a subordinate, as a subordinate, and can still face to face with him and wait for exchange of benefits. Li Wan next to him was a little surprised, secretly thinking about Li Zhi, his tone was so tight, his mind was so secret, what he was thinking, what he wanted to say, he didn't reveal half a point to himself after getting along for many days, so he squinted at Li Zhi several times very dissatisfied.

"That's right. Since such a big defeat is like this, there is no point in concealing it. The Taifu simply did not hide it, and sincerely admitted his mistake to His Majesty at that time. However, to put it forward in time, it was the Pingkou general Li Feng who had made a big mistake. It is said that before the war, he bewitched the people, shook the hearts of the army, delayed and watched during the war, and was afraid of not fighting, but the most hateful thing was that after the war, he did not care about the safety of the Taifu and the whole robe, and took the lead in taking a small number of men and horses to flee the battlefield without permission, neither killing the enemy nor saving them. Because he took the lead in escaping, the impact was extremely bad, so in the end it led to an irreparable defeat. ”

Li Xiang looked at Li Zhi in a daze, didn't make a sound for a long time, and suddenly said: "You want to use a lonely hand to get rid of Li Feng, who has always been hateful." ”

Li Zhi did not admit it directly, but said: "In fact, I don't ask about the process in everything, just look at the result." If Li Feng is convicted, everyone will benefit, wouldn't this just eliminate Taifu's doubts? ”

Li Xiang groaned: "...... In this case, His Majesty will inevitably kill him to thank the country. But in all fairness, Li Feng is not only innocent, but also meritorious. At the beginning, we waited for greed and recklessness, and did not listen to his persuasion several times, and the result was a great defeat. In the coming day, in front of His Majesty, all the blame will be placed on him, and he will be discredited with death, this, this ......"

Li Zhi's face turned cold, and he said unhappily: "I came up with this plan for the sake of Taifu's shoes. Li Feng is a little bit of a district, and everyone is happy, why not do it? You must know that if you lose so badly this time, there must be someone to be the scapegoat who takes responsibility, Taifu can't bear to frame Li Feng, does he have to bear the guilt himself? ”

"This. But won't Li Feng try his best to defend and analyze? He will even ask to confront us face to face before His Majesty's drive. ”

Li Zhi grinned: "He is alone, with one mouth, can he argue with many of us?" Everyone is talking about gold, and the three of them become tigers, are they all talking about fun? It's too fu and relieved! Even if His Majesty knew it in his heart, for the sake of Dacheng's dignity and the face of the clan, in the end, most of them would choose to believe in us and kill Li Feng to apologize. ”

With these words, Li Wan couldn't help nodding again and again, saying that it was really a good way, but he secretly said that Li Zhi was very damaged. Li Xiang's face changed several times, and he was silent, thinking to himself with his brows locked. Li Zhi didn't urge him, just watched coldly from the side.

After a moment, Li Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "...... Good! Determined to be alone! That's it! ”

So Li Zhi and Li Wan returned south and persuaded Emperor Li Xiong. Immediately, the institutions and officials at all levels of Chengdu in the three counties of Zitong, Brazil, and Padang began to return to Chengdu one after another, and let the Qin army send personnel to the southward battalion, etc., to take over the whole temporarily.

However, Chengguo Brazil guarded Li Feng too much, and since the Dachuan River fled, he arranged defenses to defend Brazil, and this time he did not obey the edict, still with 5,000 men and horses, staying in the county to govern Langzhong City, and refused to hand over the land to the Qin army in vain. He usually governs the army well, and the soldiers under his command are willing to follow him to advance and retreat together, so Li Feng's subordinates are very eye-catching in an atmosphere of peace. But after listening to everyone's accusations against Li Feng, Li Xiong couldn't help but feel that Li Feng was really difficult to control, and he was furious and issued several holy decrees, sternly ordering Li Feng to return to the court immediately. Although Li Feng still did not accept the order to leave, he already felt that the pressure was getting heavier and heavier, and the future was getting bleaker and bleaker.
