Chapter 15: The Return of the Hero
Li Changguo never expected that Wang Zhonghei would make amends to him for this incident, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
You must know that Wang Zhongsi was a famous general who shocked the world at that time, and Li Changguo was just a small lieutenant in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, not even a general, and the difference between Wang Zhongsi's status was 108,000 miles. Wang Zhonghe's absence of Li Changguo is just a trivial matter that cannot be smaller.
What no one thought about was how much time had passed. In less than a year, Li Changguo has become a famous general all over the world, and he has made great achievements in planning to pacify Tibet.
Every time Wang Zhongsi thinks about it, he always feels that it is not a taste, this Li Changguo is too unbelievable, although there is still a gap between the great achievements made in such a short period of time and his merits, he is already a heavyweight general in the Tang Dynasty, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
As Li Longji's righteous son, his status is respected, and he is a famous general who shocks the world, Wang Zhonghei apologized to Li Changguo, which is a great thing, which shows that Li Changguo already has a pivotal position in the Tang Dynasty, even a high-ranking and powerful person like Wang Zhongji will also be handed over.
"Dashuai, why do you say this?" Li Changguo flew off his horse and returned the salute, and said lightly: "The marshal is entangled in military affairs, and the military affairs are busy, Li Changguo disturbs the marshal, is it Li Changguo's." ”
Li Changguo doesn't have much affection for Wang Zhonghe, although he is a world-famous general, because the two don't have much intersection. The only chance to intersect was missed because of Wang Zhonghe's sluggishness.
Of course, Li Changguo has no ill feelings towards Wang Zhonghe, although Wang Zhonghe's sluggishness, it is just a trivial matter. Since then, the two have never crossed paths, and there has been no regeneration.
When Wang Zhongsi heard this, he knew that Li Changguo was just out of courtesy, and he didn't really mean to make friends with him, so he couldn't help but be shocked.
At this time, Li Changguo was already famous all over the world, and he was a heavyweight general, even younger than him, everyone knew that Li Changguo was a rising general, and his future was limitless.
Such a person, even Wang Zhonghei can't be provoked, and he doesn't dare to provoke.
Wang Zhonghe's mind was racing, and he was determined to put this matter off later, and said with a smile: "The prison army has returned triumphantly, and Wang Zhongsi congratulates the prison army." ”
"Don't dare to be." Li Changguo smiled humbly: "This is all the credit of the soldiers. ”
The two did not talk speculatively, Wang Zhongsi and Li Changguo talked for a while, and then left.
"Dashuai, this Li Changguo is too rampant, so he can't be spared if he doesn't take Dashuai in his eyes." There are guards who are indignant for Wang Zhonghei.
"Shut up." Wang Zhongsi raised his head to the sky, sighed, and said: "Thinking about me Wang Zhongsi all his life, he has known countless people, and promoted many heroes and heroes, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng, these heroes and heroes are all discovered by me, promoted and reused." Only in the case of Li Changguo, I regret it a lot. Wouldn't it be better if I had taken a moment to meet him and greet him? Thinking of that brother Shuhan, I decided at a glance that Li Changguo was a hero and hero, and I made friends with him, but I actually missed him. ”
Looking back on all these things, Wang Zhongsi felt that he had really made a mistake.
Wang Zhonghei has fought all his life, and the reason why he can become a famous general in the world is that he has many tiger generals under him, and these tiger generals were discovered and promoted by him, the most famous are Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi and Li Sheng.
Li Changguo asked to see him, but he didn't see him, and the two missed each other, and he was very uncomfortable.
"Besides, I gave him a favor." Wang Zhongsi shook his head and said, "Last year, Ge Shuhan entered Beijing to plead with His Majesty to save me from prison, but he was not allowed to enter. It was Li Changguo who instructed Ge Shuhan that we were released by His Majesty. ”
"Dashuai, I know that Your Majesty has no intention of curing your crimes, even without Li Changguo's guidance, Dashuai will be fine." The guards were not very appreciative.
"You can't say that. Even if Your Majesty does not cure me, I will be imprisoned for a long time. Not to mention, if Ge Shuhan didn't know what was going on, but stiffened his neck, maybe this work of pacifying Tubo would fall into the hands of An Lushan, wouldn't my Wang Zhonghei's face be completely lost? Wang Zhongsi shook his head, very helpless.
The reason why Li Longji used Ge Shuhan, instead of making An Lushan a general, was to save face for Wang Zhonghe.
"Not to mention, in the battle of Stone Castle City, I thought that even if tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded, they might not be able to defeat it. Where did I think that Li Changguo actually beat me down, this was a slap in the face, but I brought it on myself. Wang Zhongsi sighed and said: "I want to be Wang Zhonghei, I have fought all my life, and I have never been defeated, but I am ashamed of Shibao City." If it weren't for this Li Changguo, I wouldn't have thought that Shibao City could really be defeated. ”
Looking back, he secretly said in his heart: "Li Changguo, you are shrewd enough to discover my intentions." However, I will not give up easily, and I will definitely fight with you. ”
Looking at Wang Zhongsi's back, Li Changguo's brows were twisted, and his eyes were shining.
"Prison Army, the marshal is intentionally befriending, you have a big belly, you can't still remember that little thing, right?" Li Guangbi was a little surprised. With his understanding of Li Changguo, Li Changguo's belly is not small, how could he not forgive Wang Zhonghe.
You must know that Wang Zhonghei is a young genius, he made great contributions at the age of eighteen, and his life has been smooth, who has he made amends?
"Li Guangbi, you lied to him." Li Changguo's eyes shone violently: "Wang Zhongsi is a genius in the world, and his character has nothing to say." However, in this matter, he is quite selfish. So early, he stretched out his hand and wanted military power. ”
"Prison Army, what do you say?" Li Guangbi was a little puzzled.
"Li Guangbi, Wang Zhonghei is grateful to him for having the grace of knowing you, discovering your talents, promoting you, and reusing you, but you don't think in a bad direction." Guo Ziyi explained to Li Guangbi: "Wang Zhonghei wants to fight the military power of Dashi, he wants to lead the army to fight. ”
"This ......" Li Guangbi suddenly said.
"In a battle with the Great Eclipse, who can become the commander?" Guo Ziyi analyzed: "At the moment, there are two people who are the most suitable, one is Wang Zhonghei, and the other is the prison army. Wang Zhongsi wanted to make friends with the prison army, so that the prison army could not pull his face and fight for military power with him. ”
In a battle with the Great Eclipse, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably send the most warlike commander, who is the most suitable?
Judging from the current situation, only two people are the most suitable, one is Wang Zhongsi and the other is Li Changguo.
Wang Zhongsi is a famous general in the world, and he has never lost dozens of battles in his life, and the only stain is that he did not dare to fight in Shibao City. However, this is only a small stain and can be ignored.
Although Li Changguo did not lead the troops to fight alone, the battle to destroy Tibet fully demonstrated his talent and good at planning, and if he led the army to fight, there would be no problem.
"Overseer, will you lead the army?" Li Guangbi's eyes widened and looked at Li Changguo.
Guo Ziyi's eyes widened, not for a moment.
This matter is too important, and they want to know what Li Changguo thinks.
"Of course I want to, but whether it can succeed or not depends on Your Majesty's decision." Li Changguo groaned: "How exciting it is to break the big food, who can not want to be a Tang man?" ”
"Hmm!" Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi nodded heavily in agreement.
"It's not just me and Wang Zhongsi who want to lead the army into battle, there are also a lot of people here, it seems that there is still a lot of excitement around this military power." Li Changguo's eyes shone brightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "No matter what, I will not give up, I must fight." ”
If Li Shiguo succeeds in fighting for military power, he will lead the army to fight the Great Eclipse. Once the Great Eclipse is broken, it will be an immortal miracle, and his reputation will be as high as the sky. At that time, there will be no problem in resolving the "Anshi Rebellion" again.
Therefore, Lee Chang-kook will never give up.
"The army of the unification is going to fight the Great Eclipse, this is a golden opportunity, and there are many people who want to fight for this military power. I guess An Lushan will definitely jump out, and the one who relies on the woman's nepotism will also jump out, and if Gao Xianzhi is not surrounded, he will also fight hard. Guo Ziyi wrenched his fingers and said several in one breath.
"Who do you think has the best hope?" Li Guangbi asked.
"But in my opinion, it is not Wang Zhonghei who will lead the army this time, or the supervising army, and there will be no one else." Guo Ziyi muttered: "Wang Zhonghei and the prison army are the most likely. Wang Zhonghe's talent is not in doubt, the prison army is also reassuring, and most importantly, the prison army is not very old, but younger. Whether Wang Zhonghei will go on the expedition or supervise the army will depend on how His Majesty arranges the future. ”
"Things in the future" refers to Li Longji's posthumous affairs, and Guo Ziyi is a euphemism.
Although Li Longji did not accept the old age, he had to admit that he was already quite old and needed to lay the foundation for the crown prince Li Heng to take over the Tang Dynasty. And this expedition to the Great Eclipse, you can take this opportunity to arrange this. It is conceivable that the commander of this expedition must be Optimus Prime of Li Heng's dynasty, and he is also a general looking for protection for the crown prince Li Heng.
Lee Chang-guk's biggest advantage is his youth. Of course, being young has advantages and disadvantages of being young. The advantage is that he can fully assume the heavy responsibility of escorting the crown prince Li Heng, and the disadvantage is that he has many opportunities for meritorious service, and it is possible not to let him command the army this time.
How to deal with it depends on what Li Longji thinks.
"What Guo Wudi said is reasonable." Li Changguoda agreed with Guo Ziyi's view, and secretly said in his heart that no matter what, he would not miss this opportunity.
The Tang army stayed briefly at Dafeichuan and retreated towards the land of the river. After passing through Stone Fort City, we soon arrived at the land of the River.
At this point, Li Changguo, in accordance with Li Longji's will, handed over the military power to Wang Zhonghei, led the Longwu army and the soldiers who had made great contributions, set off from the land of Hehuang, and rushed to Chang'an.
The retreat of the 200,000-strong army to the land of the river must need one person to lead it, and this person is none other than Wang Zhonghei. Wang Zhongji was both happy and worried. He rejoiced that he could regain control of the army, and it seemed that he was only one step away from going out on the Great Eclipse. However, Li Longji did not ask him to return to Chang'an to participate in the celebration, indicating that Li Longji was still dissatisfied with his failure to fight in Shibao City.
Contrary to Wang Zhongsi's mixed mood, Li Changguo and their return to Chang'an was a smooth journey, and everywhere they went, there was a sea of joy, and there were cheers of joy everywhere.
"The hero is back!"
"The heroes of Datang are back!"
