226 Eastern Crusade
In the dust, Xiao Buyi looked at the figure in the distance, and the hand holding the knife finally relaxed.
Fang Cai was just a woman who stabbed a sword, and he returned a sword, but he was really more nervous than fighting with Lishan Fei for 300 rounds.
The woman still seems to have enough energy, but he is doing his best, and from this point of view, he has fallen behind.
The bearded guest is not in the Eastern Capital, otherwise he may be able to see where the woman's art is based on his experience, but according to Xiao Buyi's knowledge, he only knows that this woman's martial arts are very high.
Li Chunfeng crawled over with a roll, and saw a mess with a bitter face, "Lord Xiao, what kind of indissoluble enmity do you have with her, you want to cut and kill as soon as you meet?" ”
Xiao Buyi looked at the woman and disappeared, frowned and said, "Chunfeng, you stay here, I'll take a look." ”
Carrying a knife, he rushed in the direction where the woman had disappeared, jumped on the wall, and looked around, only to see that there were few people in the alley, and he didn't know where the woman had gone for a while.
He and the woman only have a few faces, Li Chunfeng doesn't understand why the two of them fight to the death, but Xiao Buyi thinks that the woman mostly thinks that he is coming to arrest people on behalf of the government, so this is the surname of the fight. I feel a little strange, I don't understand why the woman failed to assassinate, but she still stayed in the Eastern Capital, did she still want to kill Yang Guang again?
Although Yang Guang didn't know martial arts, Xiao Buyi understood that it was definitely not easy to kill him. When Yang Guang was in the Eastern Capital, he spent most of his time in Ziwei City, and it was difficult for ordinary people to enter the city, let alone assassinate him. If he goes out on patrol, he will also stay in the city of [***], surrounded by more than 10,000 soldiers and guards, if it is not for the mutiny of his subordinates, how can he take his surname. Although Luo Shui attacked and drove the fake Chen Xuanhua, it also proved that the power of [***] City should not be underestimated, and it was not as simple as a martial arts master to approach, and the woman stayed in the Eastern Capital City, I was afraid that there would be no chance to assassinate him for a year and a half.
"Who, come down?" Suddenly, someone shouted from under the wall.
Xiao Buyi saw that there were two soldiers, the waist knife was unsheathed, looking at him with fierce eyes, only to find that he was still squatting on the wall, carrying a single knife, looking like a murderer and overhauling, he couldn't help but laugh.
Jumping down from the wall and putting the knife into the sheath, the soldiers had already recognized that the Jiangyang thief was the general of the right Xiaowei, and he took the blade with some trepidation, "General Xiao." ”
"Have you ever seen a mysterious woman with a veil?" Xiao Buyi slightly describes the woman's outfit.
The two soldiers looked blank and shook their heads, "General Xiao, we came from the opposite side, maybe she left from the other direction, do you need us to notify the Wuwei Mansion to arrest her?" ”
Xiao Buyi shook his head, and didn't ask much, knowing that he couldn't stop himself when he encountered such a master, not to mention the two soldiers, walking a few steps in the opposite direction, Xiao Buyi walked to a street, looked around blankly, and couldn't find the person he wanted to see.
As I walked forward, I suddenly heard a noise, and many people gathered in a group, looking in with their feet crossed.
Xiao Buyi walked over and heard the sound of a quarrel coming from inside, as if he was quite familiar with it, so he couldn't help but squeeze in to take a look.
When he saw a fat man grabbing a monk, Xiao Buyi could only sigh, the fat man was Fat Huai, but the monk was Yang Dezhi.
**Xiao Buyi didn't expect that Yang Dezhi hadn't left the Eastern Capital yet.
When Luo Shui attacked, the first thing he wanted to find was Yang Dezhi, but he finally held back this thought. He and Yang Dezhi are not children, they can make their own decisions in doing things, not to mention that in his opinion, among the young people in the cottage, Yang Dezhi can definitely be regarded as a teenager and an old man.
There are happiness and likes to appreciate with friends, and sadness likes to taste alone, he and Yang Dezhi are undoubtedly this kind of people.
When you are frustrated, the best way to comfort someone is not to whisper in their ears, but to give him time and space to heal the wound is what a friend should do.
Xiao Buyi wanted to give Yang Dezhi a period of time to think about it, and he didn't let his brother go to him, but Fat Huai and the others obviously didn't think so.
"Yang Dezhi, tell me, what's going on?" Fat Huai grabbed Yang Dezhi's neck and shook it vigorously, "Are you sober up, have you forgotten that we have always been brothers?" ”
A common man next to him was puzzled, and asked his companion in a low voice, "How can these two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, be brothers?" ”
Another person said disdainfully: "What's so strange about this, maybe it's half-brother, right?" ”
"What are you talking nonsense, this is the personal disciple of the master of the Dao Xin, I saw ...... last time I said the law."
There were different opinions, Yang Dezhi looked at Fat Huai, and the rusty Zhou Muru behind him, his eyes were like water, and he said calmly: "This donor, a poor monk and a big idiot." ”
"Big idiot, I think you're an idiot." Fat Huai said angrily: "Go, go and see Boss Xiao with me, what do you have to say, talk to Boss Xiao." ”
Ah Rust said on the side: "Fat Huai, you let go first, you have something to say." ”
Zhou Muru looked at Yang Dezhi, "Dezhi, is there any big problem, can't we solve it together?" Even if it can't help you solve it, it's always better to say it, and it's much better than being a monk. ”
"Sin, sin." Yang Dezhi clasped his hands together, "The poor monk doesn't know what Boss Xiao is, and the donors have recognized the wrong person." ”
"Then do you know Yang Dezhi?"
Yang Dezhi turned his head to look to the side, and when he saw Xiao Buyi with a smile on his face, Fat Huai and the others shouted loudly: "Boss Xiao is here." ”
Xiao Buyi stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master Idiot, I have some things that need to be solved, I don't know if the master has time?" ”
Yang Dezhi sighed, "I don't know what doubts the donor has?" ”
"Please take a step to speak." Xiao Buyi walked first, and the people saw that there was no excitement to see, so they dispersed in a hurry. Fat Huai couldn't drag Yang Dezhi hard, and Xiao Buyi let Yang Dezhi follow behind him with a word.
Ah Rust and Zhou Muru both had happy faces, their hearts were playful, Fat Huai scratched his head, and muttered, "The boss is the boss." ”
**Xiao Buyi casually found a restaurant, asked the restaurant to prepare a single room, served a vegetarian table, picked up a cup of tea and said: "Whether the master is a big idiot or a dezhi, I just hope that if there is a fate in the future, we can see each other often." ”
Yang Dezhi picked up the teacup, and there was no joy on his face, "Thank you, donor." ”
"I wonder if the master can give me a solution?"
"Please."
The two of them said politely, but there was emotion in their eyes, Fat Huai just scratched his head, and said in his heart that this Yang Dezhi only felt that he was depressed before, but now he is depressed.
"I once had a brother with whom I was a brother." Xiao Buyi said with emotion: "He said on the New Year last year that he would go south to do things, and at that time we were still full of ambition, just looking at the world racecourse in our hands, but he hasn't seen him for more than a year, I don't know if the master knows, what happened to him?" ”
Yang Dezhi said in a deep voice: "I don't know where the donor's brother went, but I can tell you a story." ”
Xiao Buyi's eyes lit up, "Master, please speak." ”
"Once upon a time, there was a man who was born in a big family, and he has always lived happily, and he never knew what sorrow was." Yang Dezhi said abruptly: "He only thought that he would be like this all his life, but he didn't expect that shocks often happen when people are the most ambitious." His ancestors were already in the best position in the imperial court, and so was his father, but people are often so strange, and their lives are rarely satisfied, and perhaps only on the day of death do they understand that everything is illusory. ”
When Fat Huai heard this, he wanted to move his mouth, but Xiao Buyi stopped in time and just asked, "What about later." ”
At this time, a Taoist came to his house, which was very mysterious. After talking with his father in the secret room for three days and three nights, the person who was determined didn't know it at first, and then slowly learned that the Taoist priest persuaded his father to rebel and become the emperor, is there anything more tempting in this world than being an emperor? ”
When Yang Dezhi said this, there was ridicule in his eyes, and his expression became depressed.
Fat Huai wants to say, this is your boy's usual look, what a big idiot, if the heart is stopped, it's all bald donkey's nonsense.
The rest of the brothers just listened quietly, and Fat Huai could only mutter, "I can't be the emperor, if I can really become the emperor, it will be very tempting." ”
Yang Dezhi pondered for a long time, with some sadness on his face. Xiao Buyi said: "I remember that Master Daoxin once said that when you are lost, you become a surname, and when you are enlightened, you become a surname, and when you are confused, most of the people in the world are confused, so don't blame the master." ”
"I don't blame him, I just blame the person who got the ambition for not stopping my father." Yang Dezhi sighed, "But many times it's like this, things don't happen according to someone's will, and the authorities are even more like demons." Originally, the man's father was still a little hesitant, but when he learned that the person who came was from Taiping Dao, he finally strengthened his determination. ”
Xiao Buyi was calm, and couldn't help but be moved: "The Taoist is a person from the Taiping Dao? ”
The wider his contact range, the more he found that Taiping Dao and the gate valve are also ubiquitous in the Great Sui, but if the gate valve is the foundation of the Great Sui, the Taiping Dao is undoubtedly the ghost of the Great Sui, making waves from time to time, both true and false.
It's just that he knows some history, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that Taiping Dao was mostly made out of nothing and deceived Yang Dezhi's father, but even if he was present at that time, he might not be able to stop it, let alone Yang Dezhi. Yang Dezhi said that his ancestors were already in the best position in the imperial court, maybe it was Yang Su, could it be that his father was Yang Xuangan, Xiao Buyi thought of this, and couldn't help but feel sad for Yang Dezhi, because he knew that Yang Xuangan rebelled, and most of the relatives of the Yang family were killed, and even the dead Yang Su was dug out, and the bones were scattered, Yang Dezhi did not answer, and continued, "Taiping Dao has always made shocking prophecies, and the Taoist said that this true destiny of the Son of Heaven actually fell on his father's body, as long as there is an incident, there is absolutely no reason to be unsuccessful." My father was thrilled when he heard this, and he really thought that he was the true son of heaven, so he rebelled, and at that time he was just in time for the Shengshang to conquer Liaodong, and the whip was beyond his reach, and there were many people who responded to the people's gates, even if the Pushan Gong at that time joined the rebellion and offered advice. But I didn't expect that it was just a month's work, that is, the army was defeated, my father couldn't escape, and was killed by my father's brother, who sacrificed his head to Kyoto, and was also asked for his life by the saint. Because of his disagreement with his father, the man who got the ambition did not participate in the rebellion, but escaped his surname by luck. ”
When he heard this, even Fat Huai couldn't say anything.
Yang Dezhi's family is ruined, from rich to exile, no wonder he is depressed, and if he changes to others, he is afraid that he will go crazy.
"The people who got the ambition fled to the grassland, stayed there for a few months, and named themselves the people who did it, not to turn over again, but to remind themselves not to be rampant when they got the will. After all, the grassland was not his home, and he couldn't help but turn back to the Central Plains again, but when he turned around, he met a group of deserters, so he joined them and became a horse thief. ”
When Yang Dezhi said this, he finally had a smile, "During that time, he met a lot of friends, met good brothers, and a young master to lead them to the scenery." Although he is less rich, he is more happy, and he is also ready to be with these friends and do a career happily, it seems that under the leadership of the young master, this road is also good. When he arrived in the Eastern Capital, he discussed with the young master, and originally wanted to go south and use his connections to contact some old people. But I didn't expect ......."
Speaking of this, Yang Dezhi suddenly clenched his fists and took a long breath, "I didn't expect the world to be warm and cold, which made people sigh, he suddenly became discouraged, and then he had the idea of becoming a monk." ”
Ah Rust, Fat Huai and the others haven't noticed anything yet, they just feel that after these blows, they have the idea of becoming a monk and are really helpless. Xiao Buyi noticed the hatred in Yang Dezhi's eyes, and knew what he was hiding, things in Jiangnan were by no means simple, but he didn't want to say it.
He met a monk of Taoism, and thanks to him, he did not give up and accepted him as a disciple. The Taoist monk wanted to go north to persuade the saint to do good, and he followed all the way, but when he passed through Tang County, he met the Taoist of the past, when he wanted to kill the Taoist who was bewitching the public, but he couldn't do it, so he went to eavesdrop on their calculations, and knew that they were ready to use Maitreya to confuse the people, and wanted to follow the law of the year again and force one person to start an incident. ”
Xiao Buyi was awe-inspiring, and only then did he understand the partial meaning of the eight words that the Buddha did not allow Maitreya.
Could it be that Taiping Dao killed two birds with one stone, and thought of assassinating Yang Guangcheng, and also forced him to make Xiao Buyi trouble? But what does it mean that the Buddha is not tolerated?
It's just that Taiping Dao has nothing to do with him, why force him to make trouble? In an instant, he felt that he had nothing to do with Taiping Dao, at least the Taiping Dao treasure was in his hands, Qi Wugongbu also followed him, and the Taiping Order was in his hand, he was really a person who had a lot to do with Taiping Dao.
Yang Dezhi has a grudge with Taiping Dao, and he can still remind himself that it is really because of his deep righteousness, he explained the cause and effect clearly, and most likely he was afraid that he would enter the trap of Taiping Dao again. Thinking of Angata's dying screams, they will definitely find you, Xiao Buyi's heart welled up.
"Fortunately, people are not as good as heaven, and their plans have been frustrated, but they are quite patient and will never give up easily. However, the person who got the will was also powerless against these calculations, and he knew that those people were only using the surname of the person who forced him to rebel, and he would not be harmed easily, so he was just a word to wake up. Although it is a deep brotherhood, he has long been discouraged, and he does not want to meddle in mortal affairs, knowing that the young master will definitely understand his helplessness. Yang Dezhi said again: "Donor, the story of the poor monk is finished, don't you know if you can go?" ”
Xiao Buyi got up slowly, "The brotherhood is deep, and I can't forget it." If the master can, please tell the person who is willing to do so, no matter how disappointed he is, our brothers' brotherly affection for him will not change, and if he wants to return, we are very welcome. ”
Yang Dezhi sighed, stood up and turned to leave, never looking back.
Fat Huai said: "Young master, just let Dezhi go?" ”
Xiao Buyi sat down and said with some loss: "Then what else can we do?" ”
The brothers were speechless and looked at each other.
**When Xiao Buyi re-entered Ziwei City, it was half a month later.
He didn't expect it to be Yang Guang announcing him, and when Yang Guang saw him again, although his eyebrows were tightened, after all, it was still much normal.
A group of ministers were lined up left and right, but they were all full of sadness.
Xiao Buyi knew that all the important ministers were on the list, and he was puzzled for a while, and he couldn't understand what Yang Guang was going to do.
When Yang Guang saw Xiao Buyi, he sighed lightly, "Xiao Qing's family, last time you rescued the driver again, you really worked hard. Counting the siege of Yanmen, you have already saved me twice. ”
"We're doing our duty." Xiao Buyi was respectful.
Yang Guang looked at the ministers and said slowly: "I have summoned you today, but I want to ask about the prophecy of the remnants of the Taiping Dao, I don't know what you think about this matter?" ”
The ministers were speechless, Yang Guang looked at Xiao Buyi and asked, "Xiao Qingjia, I don't know what you think?" ”
Xiao Buyi said cautiously: "Back to the saint, the melon field is not acceptable, and Li Xia is not crowned, just to avoid suspicion and rumors." But this rumor is on the body, presumably the clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are self-turbid. ”
He didn't come up with these words by himself, but went back to the Taifu Mansion to discuss countermeasures with Pei Bei and others.
The unanimous opinion of everyone is to wait and see what happens, and not to mess up first. If you are in a panic, I am afraid that it will arouse Yang Guang's suspicions.
Yang Guang nodded, sighed and said, "The remnants of Taiping Dao are too underestimated. Maitreya was born, the cloth clothes are dominant, hum, if Xiao Aiqing really has a different heart, there is no need to make a move at that time, most of my surnames are not guaranteed, how can I fall into their divisive plan? ”
Pei Yun stepped forward, "What the saint said is very true, presumably because General Xiao has been sharp recently, and the bandits have many scruples, so they set up a divisive plan to get rid of General Xiao. ”
The ministers all nodded and echoed, even Yuwenshu did not object.
Xiao Buyi said in his heart, these echoing insects, did you just discuss with Yang Guang how to deal with me? Lao Tzu's official fortune has been prosperous recently, and Taiping Dao can't stop it, do you want to promote me to an official?
Yang Guang nodded, "In that case, let's put this matter aside, don't mention it again, we will discuss the matter of Mrs. Chen's return to Yang now." ”
Xiao Buyi was stunned, Yang Guang looked over again, and hesitated: "Xiao Aiqing, you did quite well when you went to Yangzhou last time, I originally intended to let you out again, but it's a pity, I found someone to count it again, but this time I can't let you go." ”
"I can't share my worries for the saints, and Wechen is really afraid." Xiao Buyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yuwen Aiqing, I don't know if Daochang Huan and Daochang Xu have found a suitable candidate?" Yang Guang's tone was eager.
"Back to the saints, they are trying their best to find them, and I think there will be good news for the saints soon."
Yang Guang muttered to himself: "Xuanhua asked me to think about the people, I must not give up on myself, I must try my best to make some merits, so that she will not be disappointed when she comes back." ”
The ministers are all terrified, and their hearts are going to conquer Goryeo again?
Yang Guang said: "It's just that Xuanhua asked me not to conquer Goryeo, but this Goryeo matter must be let go." ”
This time, even Xiao Buyi breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that the Great Sui was full of holes, stormy, and may not be able to afford war, but it was still a blessing for the people.
"By the way, now that bandits are rampant in the Central Plains, I have to calm the civil strife first, and when Xuanhua returns, I can take her around the splendid mountains and rivers of my Great Sui." Yang Guang is still in charge of everything, and he has already made a decision on the spot.
Although the ministers always said that the saint was wise, they felt that Yang Guang was really smart for the first time.
Yang Guang had already made up his mind, and beckoned: "Sunayan, what are you doing standing at the end, how many bandits are there in the Central Plains?" ”
Su Wei stepped forward tremblingly, and said after a while: "Back to the saint, even if it is a conquest of Liao, there is no need to send troops." As long as the bandits in the world are pardoned, I think we can get hundreds of thousands of people and send them to the east, and presumably Goryeo can be wiped out. ”
Yang Guang frowned and said: "What do you mean by this, that is, there are hundreds of thousands of bandits in this world?" ”
Su Wei bowed his head and said, "The Holy One is clear." ”
Yang Guang frowned, very displeased, his heart said Liaodong is only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and I can't send a million people to attack. If there are really hundreds of thousands of bandits, the elite soldiers of the Great Sui are not enough to levy, how can he explain to Xuanhua, this old guy is alarmist.
Yuwenshu stepped forward and said: "Qiqi Sheng, what Suna said is a bit exaggerated, but it is an indisputable fact that bandits are rampant after all. It's just that although there are many bandits, as long as the Holy Lord sends elite soldiers to recruit them, there is absolutely no reason why they will not succeed. ”
Yang Guang was in a slightly better mood, and said the same thing in his heart, which was still good as Yuwen said, "Where are the most bandits in the Central Plains now, why don't you calm a few places first, and when Xuanhua comes back, I can also make her happy?" ”
Yu Wenshu has been following Yang Guang's side, only thinking about the holy will, but he doesn't care about the world, he can't say anything, Pei Yun stepped forward and said: "Back to the saint, now the thieves are mostly in Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and Jianghuai. ”
Yang Guang heard him say the scope, and said in his heart that this is not all bandits in the world, my country does not wait for the old valve to make trouble, I am afraid that the bandits will overthrow me, and he is a little anxious in his heart.
In fact, he is not stupid at all, he is just persistent, he has always wanted to conquer Goryeo before, but this thing did not work, he was depressed and unhappy, and he had no intention of going to politics. But I think that the mud legs have nothing to do after all, and I don't care about the mud legs rebellion. At this time last year, the conquest of bandits still won one after another, Zhang Xutuo, Wang Shichong, Pei Renji and Yang Yichen all had good news, why are there more and more expeditions now?
Pei Yun saw that Yang Guang was displeased, and immediately changed his words, "But the saint, although there are many thieves, they are just a group of rabble. Now that Li Jing is in Mayi, he became famous in a war, and the Turkic soldiers did not dare to go south. Liaodong is also tired of people's livelihood and incompetent to invade the south, coupled with the right imperial guard general Xue Shixiong led elite soldiers to guard Zhuo County, Liaodong is not to be afraid. There is no need to worry about external troubles, and now as long as you send elite soldiers to fight the bandits, it must be about half a year to eradicate them. ”
Yang Guanglong Yan Dayue nodded again and again, "Pei Yushi is right, I don't know what else to do?" ”
Pei Yun was confident, and said respectfully: "Back to the saint, I don't dare to say that it is a good policy, but according to Weichen's view, Hebei Shanxi Lishan Fei is newly defeated, and his vitality is greatly damaged, it is difficult to do anything in the short term, Shanxi has Li Yuan, Li Jing is in charge, some bandits are definitely not a climate, here can let Li Yuan temporarily try his best to suppress the bandits, and the amount can be calmed." Although General Zhang is brave and victorious, he has never been able to completely exterminate the bandits in the Central Plains, just because his soldiers are limited, and he commands the twelve counties of Henan Province, it is inevitable to take care of one or the other. ”
Yang Guangda was interested, "So what?" ”
"Now the bandits gather in a few places, Zhai Rang in Wagang, Dou Jiande in Shandong, Wang Bo, and Zuo Xiaoyou. Lu Mingyue and his gang at the junction of the Jianghuai River in Shandong, as well as Du Fuwei and Li Zitong and others. If the saint sent a good general to assist General Zhang, he ordered General Zhang and Liang to attack Wagang in front and back, eradicate Wagang with thunder, and pull out the henchmen. With the momentum of the joint force, Wagang is difficult to resist a blow, Wagang is destroyed, General Zhang has no worries, when he can wave his troops to the east, go all out to attack Dou Jiande, Wang Bo and others, and pacify Shandong in one fell swoop. The good general can divide his troops to the south and assist Yang Taifu to exterminate Lu Mingyue and the group of thieves north of Jianghuai, so that the Central Plains is settled, Yang Taifu and Liang General waved their troops south, merged with Wang Shichong, and swept straight south of Jianghuai, pacified the Zhukou, destroyed the decay and withered, what is the way of the thieves? ”
Pei Yun made a generous statement and foamed at the mouth, although there was some posture of reporting good news but not bad news, but the ministers all felt that it made sense.
Hearing what he kept talking about, his eyes couldn't help but look at Xiao Buyi.
Yang Guang really asked: "Pei Qing's family said that the strategy is great, but I don't know where the conscience will come from?" ”
Yang Guang, who asked the question, couldn't help but glance at Xiao Buyi, and said in his heart that over the years of the expedition to Liaodong, many veterans have died, Laihu'er and Yuwenshu are both generals of the Weifu, but they are also seventy or eighty, and the ministers are also white-haired and white-haired, and their subordinates are really in a situation of not receiving green and yellow, if they send troops again, it must be Xiao Buyi.
He suddenly trusted Xiao Buyi, not because of his great military exploits, nor because he saved his life twice, but because Chen Xuanhua said before he died that Xiao Buyi was also good for him.
Every sentence Chen Xuanhua said before he died, Yang Guang has pondered repeatedly for months.
The past few months with Chen Xuanhua are really happy times that he did not have as emperor Yanjing.
It's just that life is short, happiness is not long-lasting, thinking that Chen Xuanhua can still return to the yang, Yang Guang really wants to make something big to show his lover.
"Qiqi Sheng, the minister thinks that what Pei Yushi said makes a lot of sense, and this good general is none other than General Xiao." It was not Pei Yun who replied, but Yu Wenshu.
Xiao Buyi said humbly: "General Yuwen really loves him, but Weichen thinks that General Yuwen should be old and strong, and he is up to the task." ”
Yu Wenshu laughed, "General Xiao doesn't want to shirk, the old man is old, it's okay to eat, if you want to say that the commander of the army is not as good as General Xiao." Although General Xiao commanded the troops for a short time, he could defeat 100,000 bandits with thousands of troops, and he could go hand in hand with General Zhang. ”
Yang Guang nodded and said, "Yuwen Aiqing is reasonable, General Xiao listens to the order." ”
Xiao Buyi could only salute and say, "Weichen is here." ”
He still has no bottom in his heart about leading troops to fight, although he broke Lishan Fei last time, but that was Li Jing's credit, but this time Li Jing was far away in Mayi, and he couldn't leave.
There is a future general under him, called Xu Shiji, but that guy is from Wagang, I heard the bearded guest say that Zhai Rang was very good to him, and he took Xu Shiji to fight Wagang, but he was afraid that he would sell himself first.
When he was worried, Yang Guang had already issued an order: "I order General Xiao to command 20,000 elite soldiers in the Weifu, and work with General Zhang to eradicate Wagang first, and then make other discussions." ”
Xiao Buyi said with a bitter face: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Yang Guang frowned when he saw Xiao Buyi, and he also frowned, "General Xiao, what are you embarrassed about?" ”
Xiao Buyi finally asked, "Holy Lord, can you not go?" ”
"Not really." Yang Guang flatly refused.
The ministers were all surprised, and Yu Wenshu's smile was a little weird. Yang Guang may have felt that his tone was a little heavier, and he sighed and said: "General Xiao, I also know that you are very tired from going back and forth, but General Xiao is really the best candidate for this Eastern Expedition, and I hope that General Xiao will not refuse." If General Xiao has anything difficult or wants to ask for something, I will let the military department prepare it for you. ”
The ministers shrugged, and said in their hearts that Yang Guang spoke like this, with pleading, which was the first time in the world.
Xiao Buyi was unmoved, secretly thinking that Yang Guang was good to him, but it was because of Chen Xuanhua. But he no longer believes that Yu Wenshu can conjure up a second Chen Xuanhua, and Yang Guang will not disappear for a few days, most of them will be re-sprouted and capricious. The Eastern Crusade is actually not bad, commanding 20,000 elite soldiers, but it is not Yu Yuwen's old thief who is stumbling again, but his brothers can fight, but the commander is still not as good as himself, the bearded guest is not there, Xu Shiji may not be able to use it, Sun Shaofang is not as good as himself, think about it, there is really no one around to help.
Hearing Yang Guang talk about the affairs of the Ministry of War, Xiao Buyi suddenly had an idea, and said loudly: "There is an order of the Holy Minister, and Wechen should obey it, but Wechen asked the Ministry of War to transfer someone to assist Wechen in the expedition." ”
"Speak."
"Holy Lord, Li Jing categorically can't be transferred." Yu Wenshu said hurriedly.
Yang Guang pondered for a moment, "General Xiao, Li Jing guards the border pass, and the Turkic soldiers dare not go south because of his merits, if you want to call him, then don't talk about it." However, except for Li Jing, others can consider it. ”
Xiao Buyi knew that Yu Wenshu was still secretly making trouble, and said with a smile: "The person who is asked to be transferred is called Wei Chigong!" ”
"Wei Chigong?" Yang Guang frowned and said, "Who is this, why haven't I heard of it?" ”
The ministers looked at each other, and Pei Yun continued: "Back to the saint, Wei Chi Gong has not been in the army for a long time, but he can fight bravely, and now he is a partial general under the command of General Xue in Zhuo County." ”
Yu Wenshu hadn't heard of this person either, and was still wondering which one it was, Yang Guang had already waved his hand and said, "Since General Xiao asked for a transfer, he should try his best to be satisfied." Where is Wei Shangshu? ”
Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, stepped forward and said, "The minister is here." ”
Yang Guang immediately ordered, "Wei Shangshu, I order you to use eight hundred miles to expedite Wei Chi Gong to wait at the Tiger Prison Pass." Then quickly sue General Zhang, and let him turn around and attack Wagang. General Xiao, I order you to immediately prepare the military horses and set off in three days. The supply of grain and grass was prepared by Wei Shangshu, and after three days, General Xiao went out of the eastern capital to go to the Tiger Prison, and after waiting for Wei Chigong, he immediately discussed with General Zhang about the crusade against Wagang. ”
**Yang Guang was as impatient as burning his buttocks, and the decrees were issued one after another, Wei Wensheng memorized them with his heart, but Pei Yun was responsible for drafting the holy decrees, and it seemed that he was only seizing the day.
After Xiao Buyi retreated, Yang Guang also issued all the wills, waved his hand to let unrelated people retreat, but kept Pei Yun, Yu Shiji and Yu Wenshu in the palace.
When Yang Guang issued his will, he felt that he was back in the past, full of energy and a great cause.
But when he was empty, he felt empty again, after all, the bandit was not related to his great cause, and in his opinion, the bandit suppression has always been something that only a faint king does.
If it weren't for mediocrity, how could it lead to bandits rampant in the world?
Thinking of this, Yang Guang had a headache and sighed lightly, feeling that the emperor's position was really not very comfortable. If Chen Xuanhua is by his side, it doesn't matter if he has a big career or not, Yang Guangru thought.
Seeing Pei Yun looking at him, wanting to speak and stopping, Yang Guang finally thought of something, "Pei Yushi, how is Mingcui now?" ”
"She's waiting outside the temple." Pei Yun replied.
"Announce her in."
When Pei Mingcui came in, she coughed lightly, her face was haggard, and her body, which didn't look bad, was a little skinny. The clothes are a little loose, with a bit of bleakness.
Yang Guang was somewhat apologetic when he saw Pei Mingcui's appearance, he knew that if there were three women in this world who were loyal to him, Pei Mingcui would definitely be one of them.
When Chen Xuanhua died, Yang Guang was furious, and he only felt that everything was Pei Mingcui's fault. If it weren't for her sworn that nothing was wrong, why would Chen Xuanhua die? But when you think about it, Yang Guang knows intellectually that Pei Mingcui should not be punished, she has done her best, no one is a god, he Yang Guang is not, let alone Pei Mingcui.
"Mingcui, are you feeling better?"
Pei Mingcui covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her cheeks were thin, "Shengshang, Mingcui is acceptable, and there are concerns about Lao Shengshang." ”
Yang Guang had a thousand words, and he didn't know where to start for a while, and only said after a while: "I blamed you at the time, it's been a few months, and everything has passed." ”
Pei Mingcui glanced at Yuwen Shu and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”
Yang Guang groaned: "Mingcui, you have been working hard during this time, I see that your illness is very worrying, it is better to let the imperial doctor ......"
Pei Mingcui continued: "Saint, Mingcui does feel a little tired, a little sick, and the imperial doctor in the palace is not tired. If the saint does not blame me, Mingcui asks to return to his hometown in Jiangnan to recuperate, and asks the saint for permission. ”
Yang Guang frowned for a while before saying, "In that case, I will allow you to turn back to Jiangnan." ”
"Thank you." Pei Mingcui slowly knelt down on her knees, kowtowed three times, and then stood up, didn't say much, and turned around and walked out of the palace.
Yang Guang waved his hand and wanted to beckon her back, but he put it down, sighed, and muttered, "It's good to let her cultivate for a while." ”
**Pei Mingcui went out of the palace, only felt a little chilly, tightened her clothes, and slowly walked out of Ziwei City, looking back at the past, Ziwei City is still tall, and the blue sky is like a wash, all of this is familiar and a little strange.
Walking down the Tianjin Bridge, there are people coming and going in front of you, bustling.
Pei Mingcui looked at the crowd of people coming and going, Luoshui passing away, hustle and bustle, but she was like a ghost, forever out of place. Suddenly, my heart was sour, I felt a chill on my face, I reached out to wipe it off, and found that my hands were wet.
Am I in tears? Pei Mingcui smiled, with an indescribable mockery in her smile.
A deep voice came from the front, as if it was far away, "Sin is born from the heart, and it is destroyed from the heart, does this benefactor have any worries?" ”
