Chapter 764: Heading North

In a small tavern in Xiangyang City, under the dim light, the shopkeeper looked at the three officials who were sitting there drinking not far away. The official master is not the Guan master, the Guan master talks about faithfulness, but the official master is not necessarily. Don't talk about whether you will give money for food and wine, just say whether you can serve it well is enough to make the shopkeeper's heart uneasy.

The officials in the city now are not those officials of the Great Liang Kingdom, but the officials of the Tang Dynasty.

For these new gentlemen in the city, the shopkeeper does not dare to offend. No one knows if it will cause trouble because of an accident, in this chaotic world, it is normal for soldiers to kill people. Killing a few little people like them with no background and no power is as easy as crushing a few ants.

The wine and food are the best, and the shopkeeper deliberately stares at the people in the back kitchen to make one dish at a time. He was afraid that the young man would spit into the dish in excitement for a while, in case the three officials saw it, who knew if he would make a Zhulian three clans?

Luckily, it didn't look like those three were bullies.

In the shopkeeper's opinion, the most amiable and kind-hearted of the three people was the fat man. Not to mention his loyalty, he has never killed anyone at a glance. As for the wizened guy, forget it, that kind of person is greedy for money and lustful at first glance. What worries him the most is the white-faced man, isn't the old saying ...... Little white face, no good people.

As if sensing the shopkeeper's unkind eyes, the white face turned his head to look this way. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he shrank his neck and didn't dare to look at him.

"Good people don't live long, but disasters last for a thousand years."

After taking a sip of wine, the slightly drunk fat man looked at the white face and sighed: "I can't figure it out, why are you hiding in Li Shimin's army, why weren't you killed by cold arrows in the chaos?" Is this so unfair in heaven? Bastards are all turned to stone, and you're still alive......"

"You want me to die?"

The white-faced Wu Bushan glanced at the fat man and asked.

"It's not a day or two since I've been looking forward to it. Since the last time you used the will of the lord to force me to dig out the silver, I have regularly burned three incense sticks in front of the Buddha every day, blessed you to and fall into the pit, eat with bones stuck in your throat, walk and wrestle, pee eggs hurt, and when you have sex with a woman, you don't lift and blink to leak. Giving birth to a son without a fart eye is more vicious, and I am not embarrassed to beg the Buddha to appear. ”

"The Buddha really fucking gives you face, nothing works."

Wu Bushan smiled and said.

Wan Yulou sighed: "So, you are a scourge. ”

"Dead fat man, you don't stay in Nanya, you have to run to Xiangyang City to answer me."

Wu Bushan took a sip of wine and said, "How much do you miss me?" ”

The thin man Wang Qinian squirted out a sip of wine, wiped the wine on his clothes and said, "It's disgusting." ”

Wan Yulou shook his proud chest and said, "The lord transferred me, you have the ability to complain to the lord." Also, why do you say that you are so cheap, I said that I invited Lao Wang to drink and didn't invite you, why are you running here? ”

"Sluts have wine to drink, sluts have meat to eat."

Wu Bushan said: "What's the matter, I just ate and drank, what can you do?" ”

"Shameless!"

Wan Yulou pulled Wang Qinian and said, "Have you ever seen someone more shameless than him?" ”

Wang Qinian nibbled on a chicken leg and said without raising his head: "I saw one, and he said that he invited me to drink today." ”

Wan Yulou snorted and scolded hatefully: "A pair of sluts." ”

Wang Qinian smiled: "Fatty, the lord transferred you back in case of emergency, beware of leaving Li Shimin." But you don't seem to have done this beautifully, but the lord got rid of the big trouble himself. If Lao Tzu was there at the time, where would he be so timid as you were to shrink back? Even if he is alone, what can he do, Lao Tzu can single-handedly knock Li Shimin to the ground. ”

"-awesome is really funny from the mouth of an unreliable person."

Wu Bushan said seriously: "I don't dare to think about what kind of virtue you are to rush forward single-handedly, do monkeys ride horses?" ”

"Day-you uncle!"

Wang Qinian scolded.

"My uncle is still farming in his hometown, he is not dazzled or deaf in his sixties, and he is strong, if you really have this thought, I will show you the way out, tell you how to go, and I will be out of the money."

Wan Yulou shuddered: "Don't say it, I can think of what kind of scene it is when you say it." Your 60-year-old uncle holds a hoe, hoes the grass, and Wang Qinian ...... It's so fucking exciting. ”

"Brute!"

Wu Bushan and Wang Qinian scolded in unison.

"Drink the bar"

Wan Yulou smiled proudly: "After drinking, I still have something to do." ”

"You still dare to drink on official business?"

Wang Qinian asked.

"It's not a big deal, I've been dealing with dead people all day these days. With a few people who had seen Yu Chigong before, he was rummaging in the pile of corpses, and it had been several days, and he wanted to die in disgust. ”

"Wei Chigong?"

Wu Bushan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "That guy is a man!" ”

At this time, in a corner of the Yanyun Army camp. A lame man in Yan Yunjun's uniform limped to the door of the tent, looked around, and then got in. His face was wounded, and a scar from the center of his eyebrows to the corners of his mouth made him look particularly hideous. He was so thin that people shuddered when they saw him, as ugly as a skeleton.

When he entered the door, the lame man lay down in his place, closing his eyes and resting himself.

"Cripple, you still don't remember which battalion you are?"

Ask the soldier in a tent with him.

The lame man shook his head and said nothing.

"Poor fellow, he doesn't even know who he is. But it's also luck, when you return to the teacher, you can go home to retire. As for your injuries, the court will not give you less silver. ”

The cripple grinned, as if happy.

……

……

In the imperial palace of Xiangyang City, the lights in the imperial study are always on. His Royal Highness King Yan lived in this palace after the celebration, and he ate and lived in the imperial study. But everyone knows that it won't be long before the army will be mobilized. This year's Spring Festival, I'm afraid that it will be halfway through the march.

The battle report of the battle on the Hebei side would be sent every day, because of the severe cold weather in the middle of winter, the Yanyun army attacking Hebei basically stopped advancing and held the counties that had been occupied. Dou Jiande sits on a large territory in Hebei, and this battle is not something that can be completed in a short time.

This year's winter seems to be exceptionally cold, and I am afraid that the decisive battle will be delayed until next spring.

There is nothing to do in Chang'an, and Du Ruhui is discussing matters in government affairs with the people below. There is no major event, and there will be no mistakes with Du Ruhui's talent. In addition, Cheng Mingzhen is an old and serious person, and Du Ruhui is in the capital with one article and one martial arts, so there is nothing to worry about.

What Li Xian is most concerned about now is the battle situation on the grassland.

Liu Hongji has been out of Saibei with people for a while, Li Xian can trust Liu Hongji's ability, and the recent news from the Military Inspection Department said that Luo Yi has taken the tiger out of the customs.

But this is precisely because of the changes that may have been caused by the events on the grassland, Luo Yi sent troops outside the fortress, and the defenders of Zhuo County must be undermanpowered...... If Dou Jiande takes the opportunity to go north, the situation in Hebei will become complicated again. Plus those Goguryeo people who don't know how to die...... Staying here in Xiangyang City for one more day may have an impact on the future battle situation.

Li Xian was in a hurry.

So he killed hundreds of people from the emperor to the officials of the Great Liang State in one go, speaking of which, Li Xian was at the gate of the city on the day he entered Xiangyang City, and his slightly arrogant behavior was also deliberate. At that time, he didn't take a look at Xiao Miao, he didn't look at the ministers of Liang State, and the expressions on the faces of those ministers were all under the observation of the military guards.

Sometimes the reason for killing people is very simple, that is, it is better to kill the wrong person than to let it go.

The best way to establish a new order in one place is to overthrow it completely. As for the other places in the Liang Kingdom that have not yet been subdued, Li Xian has already made plans.

Putting down the secret report of the Military Inspectorate in his hand, Li Xian looked at Li Xiaogong, who was sitting on a chair not far away, and was slightly restrained.

"You have a fine horseman, and you have to call it."

Li Xian didn't plan to say it in any euphemistic way, but said bluntly: "Lone must lead the army north, and the cavalry is the most important." Gu will not take all of them away, leaving you 10,000 cavalry, Li Shimin and the Liang army's troops will allocate 50,000 troops to you, in order for you to subdue these soldiers, Gu will leave you with 20,000 foot soldiers. These 20,000 people were selected from the original defenders of Chang'an, you were once the defenders of Chang'an, they are all your old subordinates, and you can use them easily. ”

"10,000 cavalry, 70,000 infantry."

Li Xian looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "Lone will give you 80,000 horses and rest in Xiangyang City for two months." After the New Year, all the unpacified lands in the south will be handed over to you. Wait for the matter of Hebei to be settled, and if you don't have enough troops, you will be allocated to men. In addition, Niu Jinda was less than 500 miles away, and he was training new soldiers. If the war is tight, you can ask Niu Jinda to lead the army to support. ”

"Obey."

Li Xiaogong bowed his head.

"The people of Jingxiang are fierce, and appeasement is the mainstay."

Li Xian thought for a while and ordered: "Killing people alone in Xiangyang City is a last resort, and you pacify the south, more to appease, less to kill." The people of the south are not like the people of the north, and they are useful with swords and soldiers. How to fight, how to flat, you make your own decisions, Lone is just a few words. ”

"The minister will not fail in his mission."

"I can trust you."

Li Xian smiled and said: "Among Li Yuan's former ministers, there are only five people who can be called famous generals in Gu's opinion, you, Liu Hongji, Zhang Gongjin, Li Daozong, and Qu Tutong. Lonely Qu Tutong defended Hedong, Li Daozong was under Xu Shiji's account, and Liu Hongji marched into the north, your credit is still not as good as them, so you have to be more careful. ”

"I understand."

Li Xiaogong said: "The lord will not give up, and the ministers dare not do their best!" ”

"Go ahead, the affairs of Xiangyang are all left to you. The day after tomorrow, Lone will lead the army north, and Lone is waiting for your good news. ”

Li Xiaogong said goodbye and left, and not long after, Ye Huaichong and Jia'er walked in.

The plates of the Military Inspectorate were all put down, but there was no news of Wei Chigong for a while. Or die in the chaos, or run away. ”

Ye Huaisleeve sat down beside Li Xian and said.

"There's no time for that."

Li Xian shook his head and said, "The army will start the day after tomorrow, and you should go back to Chang'an City." Qingqing will also follow you back, and you don't need to suffer when you go north this time. ”

"Jia'er, they all go back...... I can't go back. ”

Ye Huaisleeve said seriously: "I'm going to Saibei." ”

Li Xian was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you will follow me all the way to Saibei." ”
