Chapter 664: That's Not What I'm Worried About Now!
(Thank you for the wolf smoke Xiaohuan, turn, the sunset is drunk, and there is a monthly pass support from Shuba, thank you!) )
Chapter 664: That's not what I'm worried about right now!
When Fang Xuanling smiled and said the way to force Li Daozong to rebel, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh very seriously in his heart and said that literati really don't have good intentions, although this strategy is not too subtle, but if you don't have a bad heart, you will definitely not be able to think of it. Li Xian didn't think of this method for the time being, so maybe it could also be understood that Fang Xuanling was worse than him.
In fact, in this era, there is no difference between good and bad, good and evil, and heroes are only judged by victory or defeat. Those who win are shameless and praised. Even if you lose, even if you are morally benevolent, you will be infamous for half a lifetime after all.
After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Xian nodded and said: "In the future, you will do things by Lone's side, you are thoughtful, and if Lone has any omissions, you can remind him at any time." When you first arrived in Yanyun Village, you can't be given a too high position for the time being...... After Chang'an City is broken, there must be a place for you in the imperial court...... You used to be an official in the Ministry of Rites, and you talk more about some things about etiquette, but you don't know much about these things. ”
Fang Xuanling's heart moved, knowing that a good future was placed in front of him again.
Just as he was about to answer, Li Xian continued: "You should go there a few more times when Li Chengde, the king of Hedong...... Forget it, in the future, Lone will call him to this big tent, and you will teach him more imperial etiquette here. ”
"King of Hedong?"
Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, and immediately immediately understood the two meanings in Li's gossip. He immediately leaned over and said, "The minister understands! ”
Because of the words of King Yan, he spied some secret things, and Fang Xuanling's heart was agitated. His mind was so thorough and exquisite, Li Xian's words were finished, and he was only surprised for a moment before he immediately understood. Li Chengde, the king of Hedong, is just a puppet raised by King Yan, and he is afraid that he will not have a chance to use it if he teaches him how much imperial etiquette he has. This meaning is that if King Yan breaks through Chang'an, he will inevitably die and force Li Yuan to abdicate and make Li Chengde emperor.
The second meaning is the most important thing. Because he guessed this, Fang Xuanling was so excited that he could barely suppress the joy in his heart.
To teach the etiquette of Emperor Li Chengde, King of Hedong, why do you need to teach in the big tent of King Yan? Why do you need to teach by King Yan's side? It's not so much to teach King Hedong as to teach King Yan this! The reason why King Yan asked him to follow him and remind him of any omissions at all times was that he clearly had that idea in his heart!
That's it!
Fang Xuanling was ecstatic in his heart, and couldn't help cheering in his heart, this is great!
King Yan has the heart of being the emperor, and at this time he reuses himself, so when King Yan ascends the throne in the future, it is not as simple as having a position of his own in the court, maybe it is still a very important position.
"There you go."
Li Xian waved his hand and said: "You don't need to bother with military affairs for the time being, as for what you need to do, it is expected that you already know it in your own heart, and what you like is your clear mind." ”
"Retire!"
Fang Xuanling bowed, then turned around and walked out of the big tent. Today's harvest is so great that it is too big for him to hold on. Whether it's a literati or a military general, who doesn't want to go down in history? With King Yan's current strength, it will be difficult to take Chang'an, but it will definitely succeed after all. As long as you put more thought into yourself, the future is bright. He strode back, saying in his heart that such good news must be told to Qu Tutong soon.
That guy has always been uneasy, lest King Yan has no intention of being the emperor. If King Yan doesn't have this mind, even if he takes refuge in King Yan, what can he do in the future? Now that King Yan has revealed this thought, Qu Tutong can stay with all his heart. The reason why Fang Xuanling is so eager to find Qu Tutong to share his gains is not because of how close he is to Qu Tutong, but because both of them were people who were the kings of Qin, and when they first arrived in Yan Yunjun, they naturally had to support each other more.
Even if you don't fight, just to protect yourself, the two of them have to form a group.
Li Xian walked to the door of the big tent, looked at Fang Xuanling's back and left in a hurry, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick. Thinking of Xie Yingdeng's reminder that he couldn't easily reuse Qu Tutong not long ago, he couldn't help but smile. The reason why he said those words to Fang Xuanling just now was nothing more than to make Fang Xuanling think like that. Fang Xuanling will definitely not hide these words, and the new subordinates need to let them settle down. And there is nothing more effective than having a good future for him.
He turned around and walked back to the big tent, carefully thought about Fang Xuanling's previous words, and then picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on the paper, and called his own soldiers to instruct: "Go and hand it over to the military inspector Xie Da stall, and let the people from the second department of the military inspection department make a copy according to the holy decree of the Tang Dynasty, and then send it to Gu after it is done." ”
The soldiers didn't know why, but they did it immediately.
When Xie Yingdeng saw the words written by Li Xian, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Such a method of yin damage must come from Fang Xuanling's mouth." ”
……
……
The first rain of the year only fell in early June within a radius of 100 miles in Chang'an City, but it has been rainy for many days in Fangling County. Since the capture of Fangling County, the heavy rain has not stopped, and the army has stayed in Guangqian for six days, even if the sky clears up immediately, the roads are muddy and the troops can not be dispatched immediately. This made Li Shimin's mood a little gloomy, and he wanted to lose his temper for no reason.
Li Shimin stood on the city wall with an umbrella, because the rain was so heavy that he couldn't see far through the rain curtain, and there was a gray patch all around. The gray sky and the gray earth are connected, so it is particularly oppressive. Although holding an umbrella, Li Shimin's body has been drenched in rain. It had been rainy for many days, the weather seemed very cool, and the wind blew through his soaked clothes, Li Shimin couldn't help but shiver.
"Lord, let's go back."
Wei Chigong, who was holding an umbrella for Li Shimin, was already soaked, the rain flowed down his clothes into his boots, and the greasy and sticky feeling under his feet was extremely bad, which made Wei Chigong feel as if he was stepping on the internal organs of a broken corpse, and the more he thought about it, the more irritable and nauseous he felt in his heart.
"Let's go back."
Li Shimin sighed, turned around and walked in the direction of the city tower.
The rain hit the city walls and stirred up a layer of mist, and the boots made a chirping sound when they stepped on the water. Along the slope of the city wall, the rain flowed down like a small river.
After the heavy rain in the past few days, the water has risen sharply, and the river has nearly doubled its width compared to before, and the river has become violent. Li Shimin originally planned to conquer the county seat of Yongqing 100 miles away immediately after conquering Guangqian City, as long as he conquered Yongqing again, he could go all the way to the northeast along the foot of Jingshan Mountain to attack Nanzhang, Kenanzhang, and Xiangyang would be close at hand.
But a heavy rain interrupted his trip, and he didn't know how many more days of rain would come.
"What about General Han?"
Li Shimin asked as he walked.
Now he is extremely dependent on Han Shicao, after all, if it weren't for Han Shicao leading the army to respond, at this time, he might still be braving the rain to attack those forts that only have a few hundred people to defend the fortress, and rejoice in order to win a few hundred stones of grain. With tens of thousands of troops in vain, his life also ushered in a second turning point.
He felt that his first turning point was his return to Taiyuan from the old house in Longyou. At that time, he thought that he could soar into the sky, but he had no choice but to accept the result of failure. Fortunately, God favored and gave Han Shicao to come and assist.
"The water swelled, and General Han took his men and horses to inspect the river defense. If the water is poured into the city, the army will not be able to sleep in the wilderness. ”
Wei Chigong replied.
"It's really hard for him to rain so hard."
Li Shimin shook his head, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart. Now he really realized Han Shixu's talent, Wen Ke can govern the country, Wu Ke Anbang, compared to the Tang Dynasty's several important ministers, it is not inferior at all. Getting a Han Shicao is equivalent to getting Fang Xuanling and Li Xiaogong, how can Li Shimin be unhappy?
After walking into the city tower, Li Shimin didn't have the heart to change into dry clothes, walked to the front of the map and looked at it, staring at a certain place and frowning slightly.
"Li Xiaogong is here."
Li Shimin pointed to that place and said: "He is stationed in Wudang Mountain, from us, if the road is smooth, it will be less than five days' journey, and he has many cavalry, if he comes with all his strength, it will not take three days to arrive." The place where he was stationed was also less than five days away from Valley City, and he chose this place to garrison his troops...... It's really uncomfortable. ”
Wei Chigong said while twisting the rain on his clothes: "I'm afraid of what he will do, now His Royal Highness has enough soldiers and food, if he dares to come, the minister will go and take his head." ”
"Hehe, the courage of respecting virtue is the best in ancient and modern times."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Build water to cross the valley city, if you have a water army in your lonely hand, you can take advantage of the surge in the river and kill all the way to occupy the valley city first." ”
"There are heavy troops stationed in Xiao Milling Tun in Gucheng, and it is difficult to conquer even if there is a naval army."
The voice came from outside the door, and Li Shimin looked up and saw Han Shixu appear at the door. After Han Shixu entered the door, he first saluted Li Shimin, then straightened up and said while taking off his clothes: "The reason why Li Xiaogong did not move is because Gucheng is not easy to fight...... Gucheng is the northwest gateway of Xiangyang, Xiao Mo sent the general Mao Yuanzong to lead the army to be stationed here, and Xiangyang is each other's horns, mutual rescue, this hand arrangement is really beautiful. ”
"It's raining so hard, what are you going out for!"
Li Shimin pretended to complain, and walked over quickly, but he untied Han Shixu's clothes with his own hands.
"Panic"
Han Shixu took a step back and said, "Don't dare to work the lord." ”
Li Shimin took off his coat for him and said with a smile: "You fight for Lonely, and Lone just gets a coat for you." ”
"How's the water?"
He asked, tossing his coat aside.
"If it rains for another two or three days, the river will enter the city."
Han Shixuan shook his head and said helplessly: "Throw a wooden basin down, and you can go down the river to Yongqing!" ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Wonderful! Great! ”
He walked back to the map quickly, looked at it carefully, and then said excitedly: "If the water is cut off sixty or seventy miles east of the city, then it will be opened!" The water can rush directly into Yongqing County! When the time comes, you can rush to the head of Yongqing City by fishing boat! ”
Han Shixu's eyes also lit up, and then he stroked his palm and said, "The lord is really clever!" ”
Wei Chigong was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and reminded: "There are 10,000 garrisons in Yongqing County...... But there are still tens of thousands of people......"
"I can't do that much!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, stood up straight, and said in a calm tone: "Lone doesn't have the heart to care about the people now, that's what Lone will worry about in the future!" ”
