The news that Shibao City was restored, and the news that Wang Zhonghei was seriously injured by the right section of Hexi Longyou reached Chang'an City, and it was already in early March.

Just a few days ago, An Lushan, the envoy of Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu, had just sent an envoy to Chang'an to win the victory, taking all the credit for the death of Li Yanzhong, the king of Xi, as his own, saying that he had waved his army to the Northern Expedition and beheaded the rebellion that killed Princess Yifang. As a result, although the death of those Xi people who were previously detained in the Yushitai prison has not been found out, the deaths of those officials and a certain supervisor of the imperial history have also not been revealed, but Li Longji has no heart to pay attention to these nonsense things.

He has many children and grandchildren, and he doesn't care if Princess Yifang and Princess Jingle, the two granddaughters who are from the princess and have a question mark, but the Xi tribe and the Khitan killing the princess and betraying this kind of behavior can be said to be a slap in the face. Although An Lushan once attacked Li Yanchong, the king of Xi, and Li Huaixiu, the king of Khitan, after all, although they were defeated, no one died, and now Li Yanzhong's head was also sent to Chang'an by Pegasus, and Li Longji was more comfortable. Therefore, for those cases caused by ridicule people's complaints, he summoned Li Linfu and Yang Zhao to reprimand them at the same time, and then instructed Pei Kuan to quickly cut through the mess and clean up the matter, and not to continue to entangle.

Therefore, when Wang Zhonghe's good news came and learned that Shibao City was also returning to the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji only felt that the whole person was a little fluttering. If the betrayal of Xi and Khitan once gave him a slap, then Gai Jiayun lost Shibao City in the post of envoy of Longyoujie in Hexi, which was another slap in the face by the Tubo people, and now this breath is finally out, how can he not like it? However, when he heard that Wang Zhongji was seriously injured because of this, he was immediately shocked and angry.

"The loyal heir has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, how can the general of the country be so careless?"

Hearing these three words carelessly, Colliers suddenly secretly slandered himself. He had just made it very clear, Wang Zhongsi was because he personally led a surprise army to raid behind the enemy and contained the Tibetan reinforcements, which made Ge Shuhan and An Sishun successfully capture Shibao City, Li Longji even said that Wang Zhongsi was careless, wouldn't this make the loyal generals chill? He knew that Li Longji had only noticed this victory that had grown the face of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't pay much attention to the details, so he had to patiently explain it again. This time, Li Longji was finally slightly moved.

"When the loyal heir was in Yunzhou for the first time, it was dangerous and dangerous, but I didn't expect it to be like this after many years. As a general, how can he be so dismissive of his own life? ”

Gao Lishi had a very good impression of Wang Zhonghe, who had been raised in the palace since he was a child, and had to say two good words for Wang Zhonghe: "Wang Dashuai used troops this time, and killed the Tubo soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses were defeated, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded, but he lost less than 1,000 people, and the rest were wounded." Stone Fort City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and such a result is already extremely rare. ”

Originally, there was no problem with these words, however, Li Longji heard it in his ears, thinking that Wang Zhongsi had repeatedly admonished him that he could contain Tubo without recovering Shibao City, and he did not need to spend precious troops on this, he faintly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and even for Wang Zhongsi's strategy this time, he was a little unimpressed. Could it be that Wang Zhonghei is so risky, or is it for the purpose of persuasion?

An Lushan's "great victory", Li Linfu barely avoided a storm that was likely to affect him, and now in the face of another big victory of Wang Zhonghe, he was annoyed at first, but when he learned the details from his son-in-law Zhang Boji in the Yuetang, he laughed again.

Seeing that his father-in-law actually had such a change in love, Zhang Boji couldn't help but ask suspiciously. But Li Linfu shook his head, and said lightly: "Wang Zhonghe's trick was used on Emperor Taizong back then, and it may have some exhortation effect, but what a conceited person Your Majesty is, but because of this, he will be jealous and dissatisfied!" Those who are good at fighting, without great achievements? Joke, if you don't have great achievements, who knows you're a famous general! Wang Zhongsi is too hypocritical, look at it, he is seriously injured now, His Majesty may justifiably remove his envoy from the two towns and directly transfer him back to Chang'an for the elderly! ”

"Isn't that what my father-in-law wants?"

"That's right, Wang Zhongsi and Du Shiyi are incompatible, if he loses his military power, Du Shiyi will not be far from falling! What's more, since Wang Zhongji pretends to be smart, how can I let him go? Li Linfu burst out such a sentence viciously, and then suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he couldn't catch it. For days, he often had this situation, and he couldn't help but grab the handrail in annoyance, racking his brains to grab that glimmer of inspiration. When he finally succeeded in capturing the clue, he suddenly felt that his head sank, and the whole person almost collapsed.

"Father-in-law, ...... are you?"

"It's fine, just a little drowsy!" Li Linfu knew that there had been too many things recently, and he was really a little exhausted, so he calmed down before he said in a deep voice, "I have thought of a way to deal with Yang Zhao." When I turned around, I went to speak to His Majesty, saying that I had been a little powerless recently, and recommended Yang Zhao to replace me. But his qualifications are too shallow to serve the public, and if he can have military merits, it will be difficult for the ministers to question this matter. ”

"But where did this military merit go? Could it be that Yang Zhao should go to Hebei Province and ...... with An Lushan"

"No, let him go to Jiannan Dao!" Li Linfu saw Zhang Boji dumbfounded, he couldn't help laughing, "It is the place he is most familiar with, His Majesty will not think that I am looking for a problem for Yang Zhao for him!" Although Zhang Qiu and Qiong recommended Xian Yu Zhongtong, but Xian Yu Zhongtong is not qualified enough after all, so it is just the general consul to stay in the future, not the right moderation, if Yang Zhao goes, the position of the Jiannan Dao Jiedu envoy is just right! ”

Huya only stayed in Liangzhou, Hexi for one day to rest, and then quietly set off with the servants to return. But during this day of staying, he didn't sleep to make up for sleep, but went to inquire about Ge Shuhan and An Sishun's discord. Therefore, when the wind and dust returned to Anbei Yatent City and entered the Beitang of Hufu Town, the capital of Anbei, he first explained the cause and effect of Wang Zhonghe's injury and the battle to recover Shibao City, and then turned to another topic.

"In addition, as far as I know, the relationship between Ge Shuhan and An Sishun can no longer be said to be petty, but a deep hatred. Putting aside the previous contradictions for the time being, this time An Sishun and Ge Shuhan because they attacked Shibao City first and one later, from the two of them to the lower head generals, they all thought that the other party had played tricks. An Sishun has deep qualifications, Ge Shuhan is old, and no one is convinced, so Wang Dashuai was seriously injured this time, and he recommended them to replace him to save Hexi Longyou, which can be described as well-intentioned. ”

Not to mention An Sishun and Ge Shuhan, just under Du Shiyi's own subordinates, Fugu Huaien and Li Guangbi are also at odds. However, he did not try to reconcile the relationship between the two, and this concern is similar to Wang Zhonghe. As long as it does not affect the march and fight, the heart and abdomen will be twisted into a rope, but it is easy to empty the commander. can think of Wang Zhonghe's bait as a bait, and he did not hesitate to be seriously injured by an arrow, but he still persuaded the Son of Heaven, hoping that Li Longji would change his mind and not use the idea of reckless force, so loyal, Du Shiyi could only sigh in his heart.

He was silent for a long time before he asked, "What do you think of Wang Dashuai's injury?" ”

"This ......" Huya had also dealt with Wang Zhongsi more than once, and he was extremely respectful of this marshal, but at this time, he couldn't help but hesitate for a while, and then said softly, "My life may be worry-free, but the condition is not good." I knocked on the side from Ji Yun to probe, because there was no time to heal after the arrow, but hastily cut off the remnant arrow and bandaged it, and then turned to the field, so that when the arrow was finally dug out, Wang Dashuai almost fainted in pain, and the wound was also festering. For this reason, Wang Dashuai was in a coma for a few days with a high fever, and although he is better now, it may not take a month or two to raise him. ”

This is an unexpected situation, even if Du Shiyi is worried, it is really beyond the reach of the whip. As for Wang Zhonghe's helplessness to entrust Nan Jiyun to himself, he thought of this former young general who became famous in Yunzhou in the first battle, followed closely but had been stumbling for many years, and then compared with Guo Ziyi and Fugu Huaien, who had soared into the sky, his heart was also heavy.

Speaking of which, his time in Yunzhou is too short, he has only been in Longyou for two years, but he has been rooted in Shuofang for more than ten years, so those who followed him at the beginning and were widely known could not be too blatant. Especially Nan Jiyun is a dead eye, because of the loss of Shibao City, he is on the right side of Long, and he refuses to move!

Huya followed up and explained the recent situation of the Longyou and Guo Yao families. At the beginning, Guo Zhiyun's second son Guo Yingyi and many Guo children were suppressed by Du Shiyi, and they died, exiled, and expelled from the army. Now, Guo Yao and the others are in their early sixties, and they are not old, but compared to An Sishun, who is brave and good at fighting and is deeply used by Wang Zhonghei, they naturally show a decline, but Guo Yao and his family are both Jiangmen families, and there are still many juniors in the army after all, and Nan Jiyun also takes care of them, so he can still eat well in Longyou. Even when Huya was leaving, he didn't know how Guo Jian was so well-informed, and Guo Jian even met him quietly.

"He's still as good at drilling as he was at the beginning. What did he say? ”

"He said that although Du Dashuai has been away from Shanzhou for so many years, all the soldiers and civilians of Longyou are concerned about Du Dashuai, but you can make contributions abroad and send it back to Longyou to attract countless cheers and admiration."

"This guy is still the same!" Du Shiyi scolded with a smile, but she didn't take it to heart. "Don't care about this guy who has a whisker and shoots horses, you should keep an eye on the contact from Chang'an, and see how An Lushan and Zhonghei have won two great victories, and how Your Majesty will be rewarded. I hope it's just that I'm thinking too much, the loyal heir is risking his life this time, and with His Majesty's current temperament, he may not be able to eat his set of advice, not to mention that the effect is counterproductive, not to mention that Li Linfu has framed a loyal minister and a good general once or twice! I'm afraid I'll have to contact people from all over the world this time. The days when there was only one voice in the DPRK and China are too long! ”
