Li Qing'an retreated, Li Longji stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and stared at the sky, silent for a long time, the news of Tubo Zampu's death under the Chiling Mountains shocked him, Chide Zuzan, the king of Tubo who reigned longer than him, married the princess of Jincheng of the Tang Dynasty, vowed to maintain the friendship of Tang Bo, but in the blink of an eye, he saw each other with swords, from the beginning of his Li Longji's accession to the throne, he and Chide Zuzan as opponents, after decades of long tug-of-war, political deceit, in the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, the Tang army rushed to Shibao City and succeeded, and achieved a strategic advantage, In the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, Tang Fan met under the Chiling Mountains, and Chizu Dezan said in the table, "The nephew is the uncle of the first emperor, and the princess of Jincheng was surrendered, so he was the same family, the people of the world, and the whole people were happy", swore that Tang Fan would always be a brother, and would never fight again, but only a few years later, the Tubo people used the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and fought Jiannan, but the sneak attack on Shibao City was successful, and the alliance table was torn to pieces, and the sword pointed at the river.

I didn't expect that today, Chizu Dezan would actually die in the battle of Shibao City, under the Red Ridge, at this moment, Li Longji felt a kind of joy of revenge in his heart, and a kind of melancholy of the opponent's death.

After a long time, he returned to the throne, and took Ge Shuhan's recital, and turned to the page where he commented on Li Qing'an's merits, 'An with 3,000 Anxi Longyou coalition army, resisting the enemy 80,000, Dong Yanguang's fault, blocking the enemy for a night and night, to gain time for Shibao City, can be said to be indispensable, but in terms of its tragedy, there may not be ten thousand bones of Shibao City to die, partial to the back mountain, can not build the front of Shibao City, so the minister to Longyou Battle of the overall situation evaluation, set it as three merits. ’

Li Longji frowned slightly, he realized that Ge Shuhan did not mention the number of enemies killed by Li Qing'an, maybe he didn't know, but even Tubo Zampu was killed on the battlefield, and the number of dead in the Tubo army must be immeasurable, thinking of this, Li Longji turned around and asked Gao Lishi: "General, how do you say I should reward Li Qing'an?" ”

Gao Lishi knew Li Longji very well, and knew that his mental balance at this time had reached the most delicate moment, so Gao Lishi smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, although Tubo Zampu is dead, but the old slave thinks that this is a major event between Tang and Tibet, even if there is definite evidence, it cannot be taken out to give Li Qing'an a stable credit, otherwise it will affect the future political situation of Tang and Tibet, at least Your Majesty should remain silent on this matter, and then you can reward Li Qingan in private to commend his merits." ”

Li Longji nodded, Gao Lishi said very reasonably, he smiled and said: "If Tubo Zanpu is dead, there will be chaos in his country, if I am not wrong, Tubo will soon send someone to sue for peace." ”

Gao Lishi was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty means that before Tubo sues for peace, take Jiuqu and Dafeichuan?" ”

"The general is right, that's what I mean, and I ordered Ge Shuhan to use troops against Dafeichuan immediately after the beginning of spring."

Gao Lishi suddenly understood what Li Longji meant, Li Longji will officially approve Ge Shuhan's merit and recognize Li Qing'an's merit as the third, Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old slave still has a word to persuade Your Majesty." ”

"You say!"

"Your Majesty, the merits of the Battle of Longyou are evaluated, to put it bluntly, it is the dispute between the Anxi Army and the Longyou Army, if Your Majesty is biased towards the Longyou Army, it will inevitably arouse the strong dissatisfaction of the Anxi Army, the facts are there, the interception of the main force of the Tubo Army is the Anxi Scout Battalion, and the final capture of Shibao City is the Anxi Modao Battalion, if you insist on the first credit on the Longyou Army, not only the Anxi Army is dissatisfied, but the other armies will be dissatisfied, Your Majesty, the gains outweigh the losses!"

Gao Lishi's words hit the key point, and Li Longji's determination just now wavered again, yes, he wanted to take Jiuqu and Dafeichuan so much that he didn't see the serious consequences of favoring the Longyou army, he pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Does the general have a good plan?" ”

Gao Lishi already had a belly case, and he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave thought about it all night last night, Your Majesty might as well split the battle of Longyou into two." ”

Li Longji suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "How can one split into two?" ”

"It's very simple, Ge Shuhan as the commander of the coalition army, Your Majesty might as well reward him, let him be different from the following armies, so that no matter the armies, there will be no opinions, and the second is to reward the armies participating in the war, the old slave suggested that the Anxi Army and the Longyou Army should be tied for the first credit, although Li Qing'an has made outstanding achievements, but after all, there are 1,500 Longyou Army among his 3,000 people, and the Longyou Army has also lost more than 10,000 people, so it is acceptable to both sides."

Li Longji squinted his eyes and smiled, worthy of being his right-hand man, this balance is clever!

"Alright! I want to discuss it with the Xiangguo again, go and spread my will, and order them to attend the meeting in the Datong Hall immediately. ”

．．．．．．．．

Coming out of Xingqing Palace, it was almost noon, although he slept well last night and felt that his body had recovered a lot, but Li Qingan still had a kind of weakness that was beginning to recover, he looked at the sky, and smiled at the two entourage: "Let's find a place to have lunch!" ”

The two entourages, Jiang Xiaonian and Zhao Yansi, both from the Han Dynasty in Anxi, came to Chang'an for the first time, and the two looked at each other and said, "We listen to the general's arrangement." ”

"Okay, go to Taibai Restaurant, let the two of you taste the best wine restaurant in Chang'an."

The three of them turned their horses' heads and slowly walked towards the direction of Dongshi, seeing that it was about to be fifteen, there was an endless stream of people who came to Dongshi to buy goods, and from a distance, Li Qingan saw the snow-white high wall of Taibai Restaurant, so he pointed and smiled: "See, there is Taibai Restaurant, the most prestigious liquor store in Chang'an." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of cavalry galloping from the opposite side, about 20 people, all of them were fierce and martial, led by a thin, tall and white middle-aged general, who was the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu and the governor of Shanzhou, Dong Yanguang, the two drove opposite each other, almost strangled the war horse, glaring angrily, it can be said that the road is narrow.

Li Qing'an and Dong Yanguang originally had no hatred, but the battle of Longyou, so that he and Li Qing'an formed a life-and-death enmity, in the battle of Longyou, Dong Yanguang led 60,000 Longyou Hexi Army to be responsible for dragging the main force of Dazarugong, but he was provoked by Absi, thinking that Ge Shuhan's purpose was to use the hands of the Tubo army to eliminate his own troops, so he withdrew the army without authorization, and it was his selfishness that made Li Qingan's 3,000 people almost annihilated.

At this time, Dong Yanguang also hated Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an's brilliance set off his meanness, made him grit his teeth, and also made him panic, and his career was very likely to end.

Originally, he didn't have his share in going to Beijing to celebrate his achievements, but he received an order from the Ministry of War and ordered him to go to Beijing to report on his work, and he had just entered Chang'an City.

If Li Qingan is asked to choose a person who can make him give up his future and kill him soon, then this person is Dong Yanguang, the culprit who made his more than 2,600 brothers die tragically on the Chiling, Li Qingan pressed the horizontal knife in his hand, staring at him with bitter hatred, if his eyes can kill, then Dong Yanguang at this time is already a pile of meat sauce.

Dong Yanguang waved his hand, and more than 20 personal soldiers surrounded Li Qing'an's three people, Dong Yanguang snorted heavily, and slowly stepped forward and said: "Li Qing'an, this time you are going to be promoted and make a fortune!" ”

"By you!"

Dong Yanguang looked up to the sky and laughed, with a hint of dryness in his laughter, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "General Li, how about we make a deal?" ”

Li Qing'an stared at him coldly, the anger in his eyes had turned into a deep hatred, and a strong hand was held on the hilt of the knife, as if waiting for an opportunity to hunt.

Dong Yanguang suddenly felt something, he took a step back, gritted his teeth and said, "General Li, why bother?" The man is dead, we will not have any interests in the future, and if we reach a reconciliation, it is also the hope of the saints, if you want, I can give 10,000 to appease your soldiers. ”

"If you want to reconcile, I just need one thing."

"What you want, you say, only I can do it." Dong Yanguang was overjoyed.

Li Qingan said word by word: "Your head!" ”

Dong Yanguang's face turned pale, he took two steps back, squinted his eyes and said: "Li Qing'an, don't think that you can go crazy with the support of Gaolis, let me tell you, I, Dong Yanguang, will do it, it's a big deal to change places, and you, hum!" Go and go dog-eat-dog with Goshuhan! ”

Dong Yanguang laughed insolently and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”

More than 20 pro-soldiers vigilantly protected Dong Yanguang, galloping away, Li Qing'an kept staring at his back and disappeared, he pondered for a moment, and said to the two pro-entourage: "Let's go back first, there are a few things, I need to think about it." ”

．．．．．．．

Dong Yanguang's indulgent laughter could not hide the panic in his heart, even if he was not afraid of a head-on conflict with Li Qingan, he was also afraid that Ge Shuhan would snuggle him from behind, he read the draft of Ge Shuhan's report, although Ge Shuhan did not impeach him head-on, but when writing Li Qingan's meritorious comment, it was clearly pointed out that it was caused by his Dong Yanguang's disobedience to military orders.

This time, the military department recalled him back to report on his work, and it happened to be at this sensitive juncture, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he didn't dare to go back to his home, so he galloped directly to Xuanyi Fang.

Xuanyi Fang is also one of the feng shui treasures of Chang'an, belonging to the "Ninth Five-Year" high slope land, the general officials are not allowed to build a mansion here, Prime Minister Pei Du was built on this "Ninth Five-Year" high slope, was framed as "the house according to Okara, not called, its heart can be seen", but it is not absolute, some of the ministers who are very favored by the emperor are also allowed to build a mansion here, in order to show glory, such as the mansion of the Kaiyuan famous minister Zhang Shuo was built in Xuanyi Fang.

Zhang said that he had passed away, and the one who currently lived in his mansion was his eldest son, Zhang Yun, the head of the household.

Dong Yanguang rushed all the way to Zhang's mansion, Dong Yanguang and Zhang Yun have always had a good relationship, it was Zhang Yun who promoted Dong Yanguang to fight Shibao City, in fact, Dong Yanguang's backstage is Qingwang Li Cong, but Dong Yanguang also knows that although King Qing's status is noble, he may not know the latest situation in the court, only from Zhang Yun, he can find out the news of the court's disposal of him.

At this time, it was just after noon, Zhang Yun was still in the middle of the court and had not returned, Dong Yanguang was anxious, so he stood in front of Zhang's mansion and waited for Zhang Yun to go down to the court, it was also his luck, and after waiting for less than half an hour, dozens of guards escorted a carriage slowly, with a flag on the carriage, and the words 'Zhang Shangshu' were written on it, it was Zhang Yun who came back in advance, Dong Yanguang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but several guards stopped him.

"Please tell Zhang Shangshu and say that Dong Yanguang wants to see him!"

"General Dong, please wait."

A guard went to report, today Zhang Yun had a cold, so he returned home in advance, before noon, the saint summoned him and several Xiangguo held a meeting, and set the final reward plan for the Longyou Campaign.

This final reward plan is very different from the plan reported by Ge Shuhan and submitted by the Ministry of War, it turned out to be the first merit of the Longyou Army and the Anxi Army, Zhang Yun can understand Li Longji's balancing technique, but he doesn't understand Li Qing'an's ascension.

It is true that Li Qing'an made great contributions in this battle and deserved to be rewarded, which everyone knows, but Zhang Yun thought that the saint would never let Li Qing'an read his strength to take charge of the army, the reason is very simple, Li Qing'an has a gold medal for entering and leaving the East Palace, which is one of the ten ministers who can enter the East Palace as allowed by the emperor, which shows that Li Qing'an has defected to the prince to some extent.

How could the saint allow the prince's people to read and take charge of the army, the emperor Fu Weiming and Wang Zhonghei have already learned from the past, is the saint more tolerant of the prince? This made Zhang Yun puzzled.

At this time, there was a guard outside the carriage who reported: "Shangshu, Dong Yanguang is asking to see you outside the carriage!" ”

'Dong Yanguang! Zhang Yun beat a spirit, and at this time this person was the plague god.

"Nope! Let's just say I'm sick, and I'll talk about it later. ”

Zhang Yun didn't want to look at this person.

The guard came back after a while and said to Dong Yanguang: "General Dong, my family Shangshu said that he was unwell, so he went down to the court in advance, and changed his name to see General Dong again, please forgive General Dong." ”

Dong Yanguang is like stepping into the air and falling into an ice cave, his whole body is cold, Zhang Yun is regenerating, and he will open the car window to say a few words to him, but now it is as cold as ice, this is not illness, this is that he doesn't want to see himself at all, does the court really want to ......

Dong Yanguang was extremely frightened, he suddenly rushed forward to stop the carriage, knelt down and said loudly: "I beg Shangshu to show Dong a clear way." ”

The carriage stopped for a moment, and a scholar stepped out of the carriage, stepped forward and said, "General Dong, my family Shangshu has a message for you." ”

"Ahh Dong Yanguang hurriedly stood up, flashed to the side, the carriage slowly drove in front of him, and entered the mansion through the side door, from beginning to end, Zhang Yun's window was never opened.

"Brother, please tell me, what did Shangshu say?"

"Shangshu said, you went to the right place, but you found the wrong door."

The scholar smiled and turned to go back to the house, Dong Yanguang stood there blankly, chewing on the meaning of this sentence.

I went to the right place, but I found the wrong door, which means that I should find another official who lives in Xuanyifang, who will it be? Dong Yanguang racked his brains and couldn't think of it, he had to ride away, about a mile away from the Fangmen, Dong Yanguang suddenly saw a mansion under construction, almost completed, magnificent, judging from the hierarchical structure of the roof, not ordinary civilians can live.

Dong Yanguang's mind turned, and he hurriedly asked a passerby: "May I ask who lives in that mansion?" ”

Passers-by looked back and smiled: "Master Jun, that's Yang Zhongcheng's new house." ”

"Which Yang Zhongcheng?"

Passers-by looked at him with disdain and said, "Who else is surnamed Yang in Chang'an?" ”
