Chapter 58: Sending you a thousand miles must be said goodbye in the end
A pair of big and small foxes tried a few words, and then they didn't follow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Gang didn't talk nonsense anymore, just started writing a flying book, wrote an urgent report on the situation here, handed it over to the post soldiers, and sent it directly to Bianliang. A round trip from Yanjing to Bianliang would take five or six days to send the newspaper urgently, Li Gang turned his head and asked Liu Pingdao: "Do you see if that kind of division can hold out until we rescue him." ”
Liu Ping arched his hand and said: "Grace is assured that the western thieves are good at field warfare, but the western army is also good at defending the city." Taiyuan City was besieged by gold thieves in the other day, and it can still support it for more than half a year. ”
"Yes. Let's hope so. Li Gang said lightly.
"Tomorrow, I'm going back to Bianliang." Li Gang said suddenly.
"Eun Xiang, it's only been two days since I arrived in Yanjing. Why are you in a hurry to go back? It doesn't matter if you stay for a few days. Liu Ping hurriedly persuaded.
"Do you think you can live if you say you can live? If the old man hadn't been ordered by His Majesty to congratulate you on the wedding this time, do you think the old man is very idle and can come out of Bianjing. Your Majesty trusts you very much, after all, you are the only foreign defense general that Your Majesty can trust, and now in Bianliang City, the Emperor Taishang is not willing to be lonely, and there are still many courtiers who listen to the orders of the Taishang, and there are some changes among the princes. There are many floods in the south this year, and there are too many disasters, and His Majesty himself is afraid that it will be difficult to take care of them. If the old man's remnant body can be shared for His Majesty, it can be regarded as loyal, so it can't be delayed. Tomorrow we will set off for Bianliang. Li Gang said lightly.
Liu Ping said: "Taishang Rongyang, now it can be regarded as being able to let His Majesty pro-government, within the four seas, it is not the king's land, even if those old ministers want to invite Taishang to come out again, I am afraid it will be difficult, and the princes and Your Majesty are brothers, how can they have other thoughts." Liu Ping agreed.
Li Gang picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea gently, and moistened his throat. looked at Liu Ping and smiled.
"Zhongcheng, what you think is too simple, how can there be any family affection in the heavenly family, hey, the old man's mouth, nonsense, it's really a sin, there are only you and me here, out of my mouth, into your ears, but no one is allowed to hear it, the old man's words are already a big rebellion." Li Gang said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I understand what you mean." Liu Pingdao.
"Look at the silent Nine Emperor Princes, that is, the King Kang, don't look at his age, but, the picture is not small, do you think he is so honest and obedient as his King Kang? If so, why is he so close to that Zhang Bangchang, it is not a place to attract courtiers and want to occupy, the king of the Great Song Dynasty has always only needed to stay in Bianliang honestly, and has never gone out to say that he is a vassal, but this King Kang has asked His Majesty several times for instructions to go out to the domain. Li Gang twisted his beard and said. Do you know where King Nakang wants to go? ”
"I don't know." Liu Ping responded.
"It's Bashu!" Li Gang said hehehe. "Everyone knows that Bianliang is good, but who knows that the land of Sichuan and Shu is the land of abundance. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, thousands of miles of plastered land, from the time of Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms is the only place to achieve hegemony, this mind should be the only one in the royal family. As long as this Nine Emperor Master leaves Bianliang and arrives in Nachuan Shu, within a few years, there will be a 9,000-year-old who no one can control. Hehe, it's a good calculation! ”
"This King Kang shouldn't be that kind of person compared to him." Liu Ping said lightly.
"Knowing people and faces, but not knowing hearts, Your Majesty has rejected King Kang 3 times. The majesty of the heavenly family, you can't let King Kang do whatever he wants, being a prince of peace in Bianliang is, if you want to go out, this is absolutely impossible! Li Gang said.
Liu Ping was even more surprised, and said in his heart that Li Gang, this old man's eyes are poisonous enough, and he can find the difference between Zhao Gou so early. It's no wonder that gold always shines, that day King Kang personally went to Jinying, and he can be regarded as the most courageous and courageous person in the Zhao and Song royal families. It's not scientific.
Liu Ping echoed: "What Enxiang said is true. But no matter how you say it, King Kang is also His Majesty's younger brother after all. ”
"Yes, that's good. King Kang is indeed His Majesty's younger brother, but there is no family affection in this heavenly family. Li Gang seemed to be a little distracted.
"The political affairs of these flies and dogs are always a little dishonorable, but, Zhongcheng, you remember, on the battlefield, the sword and the sword are very dangerous, but above this court, hehe, there is also blood and rain, and if you are not careful, it is easy to capsize. The old man doesn't want you to be another Di Qing. Li Gang said earnestly.
"The boy will do what he says." Liu Pinggong said.
"I'm old, I'm old, I'm a little confused, what are I doing with you." Li Gang said lightly.
"Eun-sang." Liu Ping suddenly understood that the seemingly majestic old man in front of him seemed to be beating himself, but he actually wanted to make himself understand that the people in this court were sinister, and his heart was towards himself. No matter what the purpose, this is the only old man who can still be regarded as an old man who can still be regarded as trusting himself and teaching himself how to do things since he crossed over. I was also a little moved in my heart.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, the old man hasn't eaten this morning's meal yet! You're not going to just make the old man hungry, are you? Li Gang said with a smile.
"How dare you let the old man go hungry." Liu Ping said with a smile, and hurriedly asked the maidservants of the inner mansion to deliver the prepared meal. A few seasonal side dishes, plus some soup, are light and refreshing. Li Gang has a good appetite and eats a lot. After eating, I was satisfied with my beard. said: "Now you are also a party moderation, you need to pay attention to various matters, the party dispute between the DPRK and China is serious, when the celebration of the calendar, the dispute between the friends and the party, the legacy is far away, it is many border generals, but also not spared, now the DPRK is unstable, if there is a change, you also need to assist Your Majesty, you don't want to be implicated in this kind of thing." ”
Liu Ping nodded yes.
Li Gang said: "After I leave, you have to pay more attention, Yanjing is also the only place in the north of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Liu Ping said in his heart, there is such a thing as factional party strife at any time, and it is better to be less involved. Besides, he is a warlord leader from a wild road, and he still cares about what party disputes, and he heard that Li Gang insisted on leaving. hurriedly said earnestly: "Enxiang, you have to go, the kid doesn't dare to stop it, the big things in the court are cumbersome, and I hope that Enxiang will take care of his body." ”
"It's great that you have that heart." Li Gang said with a smile.
On the second day, Liu Ping took a group of people to send Li Gang out of Yanjing City early, all kinds of silverware and gold cakes, jade antiques, calligraphy and paintings, Liu Ping also arranged several large boxes and dedicated them to Li Gang. Li Gang shirked it, and under the insistence of Liu Da's family, it seemed that Li Gang did not accept it as if he had let down the hearts of the people of Yanjing, so he accepted it calmly. Don't look at Li Gang as the prime minister, but Bianliang is rich, and it is difficult to make a living in all kinds of ways. The so-called Bianliang residence is not easy. Li Gang has been an official for decades, and he has not saved any decent family business. The things sent by Liu Ping were directly accepted by his servants.
Liu Ping sent it to him in person, and it was sent to thirty miles away. Li Gang sat in the carriage, poked his head out, ordered the servants to stop, and with the support of the servants, got out of the carriage and came to the farmland on the side of the official road. Looking at the lush green crops around him, there was no trace of the scorched earth remnants of the Jin invasion at that time, and the farmers working around him also looked satisfied.
Li Gang walked alone to the side of the group of working farmers, a group of sturdy people were plowing, and an old man with white hair and beard was sitting on the ridge, presumably tired from work, and was drinking and resting with a bowl of water. Li Gang came to the front, and when the old farmer saw Li Gang wearing a brocade robe, he immediately didn't dare to be careless, and he called him an adult, so he wanted to kneel, Li Gang hurriedly helped him up and said to the old farmer: "Old man, don't be polite." The official is just passing by. I'm thirsty, and I want to beg for a bowl of water to drink, but I don't know if my husband can be satisfied. ”
"Dang! When! If you don't dislike it, there is freshly poured white water here. The old farmer brought the water with a frightened face, Li Gang was kind, took the water, said thank you, and drank it dry in one gulp.
"Oops. Happy, good water, uncle, this land is growing gratifyingly, and you will definitely be able to fetch more food during the autumn harvest, but I don't know which piece is your land? ”
"This lord, I don't know, this land, hehe, is all from the old family! The three sons of my family were the leaders of the field. That's more than 100 acres of land. Hehe, where do you dare to think before you put it. The old man said with a happy face.
"More than 100 acres? I remember that the size of the field was only a few acres of land for rations. Li Gang said.
"Your Excellency, you must not know, this field is a military field! I have four sons, the eldest son joined the Yongding Army, and lost his life in a fight with the gold thief. But I am not bad, in the words of our Marquis Liu, that is to sacrifice my life for the country! The mound is still enshrined in the martyrs' shrine in Yanjing! It's kind of earning face for us. Saying this, the old man's face darkened, but he continued: "This piece of land is the military field left by me." Hehe, there is finally a living head, there is a hope, our Liu Hou is a living Bodhisattva, is the gate god of our Great Song Dynasty, hey, there is Liu Hou here, what kind of gold thief Hulu, no one wants to enter the realm of our Han people! ”
"Juntian?" Li Gang wondered.
"That's what we are talking to, what kind of military martyrs belong to the field, and it is considered our own land." Old man said.
"Oh~." Li Gang nodded and didn't say anything more. He handed the bowl back to the old farmer and said, "Thank you for the water!" With that, he turned around and left.
Li Gang muttered: "Privately divide the fields, Liu Ping, Liu Ping, what a bold man." Hmm~ Social welfare is important, people's livelihood is important. This Liu Ping, the old man really can't see through you. ”
At this time, Liu Ping rode his horse to the front, dismounted and said to Li Gang: "Enxiang, what are your orders?" ”
"Okay, it's almost thirty miles, don't do this, your mind, the old man understands it in his heart." Li Gang said with a smile. "Someone, bring wine."
The servants on both sides hurriedly brought the wine jar, opened the seal, served the wine glass, and poured the wine. Li Gang picked up his wine glass. Liu Ping also picked up the wine glass. Li Gang said earnestly: "Zhongcheng, you are a material that can be made, but you are in the army, but this world is a little worse, the general who kills the army, the anger is too heavy, the old man only begs you not to do anything sorry for the Great Song Dynasty in the future." ”
"Rest assured, Zhongcheng remembers Enxiang's teachings." Liu Pingdao.
"Well, you have to say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, so let's go here!" Li Gang said, took the wine glass and drank it all, and Liu Ping also took a sip of the wine in the cup. Li Gang saw that Liu Ping had also drunk, smiled loudly, and got into the carriage without looking back. The group walked in a circle. Liu Ping looked at Li Gang's departing figure, and suddenly felt that this old man would never be seen again. Liu Ping shook his head, threw out this nonsense thought, and seeing that Li Gang's convoy was gone, he turned to Yang Sanduo and shouted: "Go back to Yanjing City!" ”
"No!!" A group of Yongding army guards said in unison. Liu Ping turned over on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped. Dozens of fierce knights behind him also followed closely behind, rolling up bursts of wolf smoke.
