Chapter Forty-Six: What a Big Pit
Li Xuan asked, "Fu Gongyou?" Wang Xiong's birthday? ”
Li Xiaogong explained: "Wang Xiongdan is the righteous son of Du Fuwei, the king of Wu, who has the courage of ten thousand people, is loyal to Du Fuwei, and has single-handedly rescued Du Fuwei from the army many times. Loyalty is famous all over the world. Du Fuwei entered Beijing, and he was appointed as the right general of the Jianghuai Army, commanding the entire Jianghuai army. And the relationship between Fu Gongyou and Du Fuwei is even closer, he and Du Fuwei are not only small in the same country, but also the two are sworn brothers, friends of life and death. Fu Gongyou is resourceful, loyal and righteous. Sui Daye nine years, Du Fuwei sixteen years old, Fu Gongyou seventeen years old, the two were forced by the oppression of the Sui Dynasty, to participate in the righteous army, Du Fuwei fought bravely, the attack is in the front, the retreat is the back, Fu Gongyou is resourceful, full assistance, soon Du Fuwei was pushed as the leader of the righteous army, and Fu Gongyou was appointed by Du Fuwei as a military advisor, Fu Gongyou is older, Du Fuwei called it a brother, and ordered the army to call Fu Gongyou "Fu Bo". In the past 30 years, the two have been like brothers and sisters, dependent on each other for life and death, without any suspicions, and finally conquered the entire 36 counties of Jianghuai, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The whole world admires the achievements of the two of them, and also admires the love of the two. The name of Fu Gongyou's loyalty is even more famous in the world, and people all over the world hear it, and they can't help but give a thumbs up to praise. Wu Wang Du Fuwei entered Beijing, and Fu Gongyou was appointed as the left servant of Huainan Dao Xingtai to assist in Jianghuai government affairs. ”
Li Xuan said: "I see, as long as Du Fuwei is in Chang'an, these two will definitely be jealous, as long as I try my best to win them over, they can be used by me." If you control them, you will also be in charge of Jianghuai's government and military affairs. ”
Li Xiaogong praised: "That's it, as for whether you can control the two of them, it depends on your means." ”
Li Xuan bowed to Li Xiao and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”
Li Xiaogong smiled: "Prepare to prepare, in a few days, you will enter Jianghuai." He believed that Li Xuan would definitely be able to control Fu Gongyou and Wang Xiongdan.
A few days later, Li Xuan entered Danyang, the garrison of the Jianghuai Army, by boat.
Danyang, the capital of the Chu State established by Du Fuwei, the former king of Chu, is now a county of the Tang Dynasty.
When the ship entered the territory of Danyang, Li Xuan saw the mountains in the southeast, led by Zhong Shan, winding and lurking like a dragon; I saw the mountains in the west, which ended in Stone Mountain, and stood like a tiger on the shore of a large river. Li Xuan suddenly remembered the exclamation of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu in the Three Kingdoms: "Zhongshan Longpan, stone and tiger, is really the emperor's house." "Danyang turned out to be the capital of Wu during the Three Kingdoms - Jianye, and it was also Nanjing in later generations.
Danyang City is stationed with nearly 100,000 elites of the Jianghuai Army, and the flag covers the sun, which is majestic and magnificent. Li Xuan knew that these elites were all descendants of Du Fuwei, and they were directly controlled by Du Fuwei's righteous son, the right general Wang Xiongdan.
As soon as the boat stopped, Li Xuan saw a gray-haired official wearing a red official uniform of the second rank of the Tang Dynasty leading the Jianghuai officials to wait at the dock.
Li Xuan slowly walked down from the boat, and guessed in his heart: "That gray-haired official of the Tang Dynasty should be given Fu Gongyou, who is famous for his loyalty and righteousness." ”
As soon as Li Xuan stepped off the boat, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Fu Gongyou seeing Li Xuan, and then a smile appeared on his face. Fu Gongyou lowered his head, led the Jianghuai big and small officials to bow to Li Xuan, and said: "The left servant of the Huainan Road Xingtai shoots Fu Gongyou to lead the Jianghuai officials to greet the chief of the Southeast Road march. ”
Li Xuan approached to help Fu Gongyou and looked at him.
Fu Gongyou, about fifty years old, tall, loyal in appearance, and vicious eyes, when Li Xuan looked at him, he could faintly feel the terrifying gaze in Fu Gongyou's eyes. This is a character who has experienced many hardships, but has wisdom in his hands and everything is under control, and he must not be underestimated.
Fu Gongyou looked at Li Xuan and asked with a smile: "My lord, my surname is Li, but the Li family is royal?" ”
Li Xuan guessed his thoughts, he probably didn't expect that the newly appointed head of the Southeast Road Marching Army was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. Li Xuan replied: "My father, Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an. ”
"Oh, it's really the Li royal family, the only son of the 'ghost talent' Lee Hyo-gi? I didn't expect it, the name of the ghost talent, like thunder, but it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to meet, and today I can see the only son of the ghost talent, which can be regarded as a blessing in three lives. Fu Gongyou sighed.
Li Xuan pretended to be mediocre and said: "Before my studies were over, His Majesty appointed me to this position. I am also very puzzled, but His Majesty said that Jianghuai has two people, Fu Gongyou and Wang Xiongdan, and you don't have to worry about it for the time being. Uncle Fu, you also know, my Tang Dynasty has always had the tradition of being mainly children of the royal family, with the tradition of being assisted by capable officials and officials. ”
Fu Gongyou laughed and said: "This is natural, if the adults have any needs, just tell me, I will definitely satisfy the adults." ”
Li Xuan also smiled: "Then there is Lao Fubo." ”
With that, the two walked into Danyang City hand in hand.
At night, Zhao Meng, who came to Danyang with Li Xuan, said to Li Xuan: "Xuanzi, the situation seems to be a little wrong. How do I feel that these Jianghuai soldiers and horses protecting us don't seem to protect us, but to surround us? To defend against foreign enemies, we should put out two dragons playing with pearls, connect with each other, echo each other, and be consistent with the outside world; However, there are indeed eight golden lock formations outside our big tent, which is a kind of formation to trap the enemy. ”
Li Xuan smiled slightly and said, "At the dock, I found something abnormal. Didn't you notice that when we were greeted at the dock, we only saw Fu Gongyou, who was in charge of the administration, but we didn't see Wang Xiongdan, who was in charge of the army? This Jianghuai land is interesting, but I don't know who is plotting to make trouble? Fu Gongyou or Wang Xiong's birthday? Both of them are well-known loyal people, I don't think so. ”
Late at night, suddenly a person dressed as a Jianghuai sergeant quietly entered Li Xuan's camp, saluted Li Xuan, who was reading a book under the lamp, and said: "General You's command from Sipin Mingwei General Wang Xiongba to meet the general of the Southeast Road March. ”
Li Xuan asked, "General Wang Xiongba, why did you come late at night?" ”
Wang Xiongba said to Li Xuan: "I came to complain to the adults. ”
Li Xuan asked, "Who are you going to sue?" And who is crying out for injustice? ”
Wang Xiongba replied: "I want to sue the left servant of Huainan Dao Xingtai to shoot Fu Gongyou, and I want to cry out for the right general Wang Xiongdan." ”
Li Xuan asked again: "What evil deeds does Fu Gongyou have?" What grievances does Wang Xiongtan have? ”
Wang Xiongba cried and said: "Fu Gongyou that evil thief, he killed Wang Xiong and General Wang. ”
"What?" Li Xuan stood up and asked, "What?" What did you say? ”
Wang Xiongba said: "Fu Gongyou, that thief, unjustly killed General Wang Xiongdan. ”
Li Xuan asked, "Why?" Why did Fu Gongyou do this? ”
Wang Xiongba replied: "Fu Gongyou intended to rebel, so he unjustly killed General Wang Xiongdan and seized the military power of the Huainan Army. ”
"Ahh Li Xuan was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time. He secretly said in his heart: "What a big pit." Fu Gongyou wants to be opposed, am I not a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? Did you deliver it yourself? But why should Fu Gongyou rebel? Didn't he take care of Du Fuwei, who was far away in the capital? That's his best friend. Although this Jianghuai army general said it with tears in his eyes, who dares to guarantee that what he said is true? Could it be that it is Wang Xiongdan behind him who really wants to rebel? ”
Li Xuan fell into deep thought.
