Chapter 134: Seize the Military Plane
"General Li, why is he still not in the army today, but he is still unwell?"
Speaking of which, Li Su and his entourage have been delayed in Caoyang Pavilion for about three days, but from beginning to end, Li Su has not shown any signs of moving, can Zhao Xueyan not be in a hurry? You must know that when she came back from Chang'an to pick up Chen Nuo's 'parents', it can be said that she was like an arrow in her heart that day, and she couldn't wait to have wings, so she returned to Chen Nuo's side one day earlier, and returned Chen Nuo's 'parents' to Chen Nuo in person, so as to complete the purpose of her trip. Not to mention, since she knew the news that Chen Nuo was active in the area of Shaanxi County, she wished that Li Su would go to Shaanxi County immediately to complete his mission, and then immediately go with her to see Chen Nuo.
However, I don't know how Li Su did it, since Hu Chi'er invited him to a meal, his whole body has wilted repeatedly, and he actually stayed in Caoyang Pavilion for three days without moving, which was really beyond Zhao Xue's expectations. Originally, on the first day, Li Su used physical discomfort as an excuse to delay for a day. But the next day, Li Su used the same excuse to delay. Today is already the third day, so Zhao Xue can't wait.
Zhao Xue came with a big sword this time and walked to Li Su's armor tent.
The guards guarding in front of the tent, after he saw Zhao Xue, his eyebrows trembled for no reason, and then he smiled: "Yes, that's the case, right?" ”
It's no wonder that the guards have received Zhao Xue for the third time in a day, and they are a little numb in answering, but they can't help but answer others. That Zhao Xue snorted lightly, only asked, and then turned around. Seeing Zhao Xue walking away, the guard first frowned slightly, and then exhaled lightly, it was rare that Zhao Xue didn't ask questions this time. He had just let go of this breath, and suddenly he only heard a 'beauty' in the tent, which scared a guard half to death.
Zhao Xue is so smart, he is ready to take advantage of his unpreparedness to kill him, where is the real departure? At this time, it was good, hearing the voices of the people in the tent, needless to say, he knew that it was Li Su, and with a brace of eyes, he first shocked the guards, and then broke into the tent. I saw that in the tent, Li Su was coaxing a beauty, and suddenly saw Zhao Xue coming in. He held the beauty's hand and scolded her: "You...... How did you get in? ”
Zhao Xue smiled: "Don't ask me how I got in, can I ask how she got in?" ”
The woman in Zhao Xue's mouth naturally refers to the 'beauty' in Li Su's arms. The 'beauty' was teary-eyed at this time, and although her body was shrunk in Li Su's arms, she was trembling, like a sifting of chaff, which showed that she was extremely scared. Although this is the case, under the authority of Li Su, he didn't dare to say a word, and he didn't even have the courage to resist, like a little mute. You must know that Li Su came all the way to act as a matter of the Son of Heaven, so naturally we must pay attention to 'solemnity' and 'majesty', and women must never touch it, let alone bring it. And Zhao Xue had never seen such a woman beside Li Su before, but at this time, there was suddenly more, could Zhao Xueyan have such doubts?
When Li Su heard this, his heart was also empty. In fact, this woman was secretly sent by Niu Fu's subordinates, naturally to appease him, so as to leave room for them in dealing with Xiliang. As for where the woman got it, it was probably just a village girl who was taken captive in the countryside and the like, anyway, as long as the qualifications were available, Li Su would not refuse to come.
However, this matter is related to his Li Su's 'reputation', which is really not easy to publicize, and when he saw Zhao Xue asking, he just blushed and said, "This ...... What's this...... Ahem, don't you know that General Ben is sick? ”
"Do you still play with women with 'disease'?"
Zhao Xue snorted coldly in her heart, and then said, "What's the matter?" What does it have to do with this? ”
"This ......" Li Su was dumb when she asked, and almost couldn't answer, but his head turned, and then he thought of an allusion, and said with a smile: "Don't you hear that 'the widow is sick, and the widow is lustful'?" ”
“……”
Zhao Xue was choked by what he said, and she didn't speak for a long time. This guy is really able to speak, a woman accepts it, and a sick child is born, and he actually uses Mencius's words to persuade King Qi Xuan to prevaricate Mencius, and he seems so righteous and arrogant, it really makes people speechless.
In the end, Zhao Xue could only admit defeat and no longer cared, but pleaded with him: "Okay, I can't control this, and I can't ask about it, after all, this is your own business, general." But what I want to know is, when will the general's 'disease' be cured, and it can't just be dragged on, right? What's more, now I have heard that the news that the imperial court is not good for Xiliang has spread in the Xiliang army, but I am afraid that the people of Xiliang have already eyed the general before he comes. It's nothing in the past two days, but there is a saying that if you stay here for a long time, you will only be in danger for one more day. General, you might as well listen to me, it is better to solve this matter of Xiliang as soon as possible, it is impossible to delay it! Please think twice! ”
When Li Su heard this, his brows furrowed, and he was depressed when he mentioned this.
Until now, Li Su still regrets the banquet between Cao Yangting and Hu Chi'er that day. Thinking that day, he knew that Hu Chi'er suddenly invited him this time, and he must have wanted to inquire about the court's attitude towards Xiliang from him. And at that time, he also warned himself in his heart, no matter what, he would fool Hu Chi'er first, and then he would say that he would run the train with his mouth full of anyway. It's just that how did he know that in the end, Hu Chi'er didn't fool him, but he was fooled by Hu Chi'er, and in the end, as soon as the wine got into his brain, he forgot everything when he was slapped comfortably by the other party's sycophants, and he said everything in one go.
When he said this, he not only told the court's plan to deal with Xiliang, but also told Hu Chi'er about the secret hiding of Dong's daughter at home. At that time, he was drunk and babbling, and naturally he didn't feel anything wrong with these words, but as soon as he woke up, he suddenly remembered this incident, and immediately went crazy.
You must know that the purpose of his trip is to disband the Xiliang people first, and then find an opportunity to give a few leading generals to Fufa, and his task will be completed. However, before the matter was reached, he suddenly shook out all the methods that the imperial court was about to deal with Xiliang, which was really frustrating. And there is also the matter of his secret hiding of Dong's daughter, which is not a big deal, but once it is investigated, I am afraid that it will not be a small trouble. And now seeing that the two things have been messed up, and he was also given errands by the party Hu Chi'er in advance, this made Li Su, who had sobered up that day, ponder again and again, and suddenly trembled all over his body, and on his forehead and palms, he didn't know how much sweat he had raised.
Now that the matter has been clarified, of course he, Li Su, has to act carefully, and he doesn't dare to rush to see Niu Fu and the others. Even if he can think on the good side in this matter, after all, he represents the imperial court, what can he do with him if he Niu Fu knows about it, do you still want to resist the decree and disobey it? Come to think of it, with what he knew about Niu Fu before, he shouldn't be that kind of person. However, to put it bluntly, if Niu Fu saw that there was no way out, he made this heart to go with him, and even used troops to resist him, but he had no choice, but he would throw himself into the net at that time. In this matter, he can not consider Niu Fu, but he can't not consider the capture of Captain Jia Xu, for this former colleague, how can he not understand his reason? If he wanted to protect himself, he was afraid that he would be able to think of any bad move.
Based on the above, Li Su stopped the team at Caoyang Pavilion and did not take a step forward, in the name of making further observations, waiting for the opportunity. Of course, it is inconvenient for him to say anything about his drunken gaffes in front of others, and he can only think about it on the grounds of 'physical discomfort'. Of course, it would be good for him to keep the team here. After all, this place is still a hundred miles away from the place of the Niu Fu garrison in Shaanxi County.
Don't look at the only 100 miles, speaking of which, the cavalry attack on this 100-mile road will take more than half a day or even a day at the earliest, while the infantry will take almost a day or two to travel, and even if something happens, Li Su is confident that he can come over. Of course, since the incident has already happened, if the army is withdrawn without reason because of this incident, it will also cause turmoil. In view of this, he, Li Su, could only tremble and stand up to it.
In the past three days, he has been alarmed every day, and he often sends people out to inquire about the news from Xiliang, for fear that there will be something going on there. There is this kind of worry all day long, and of course, there are places that surprise Li Su. He inadvertently released the words of the imperial court, which inevitably caused the ups and downs of the hearts of all kinds of people in Xiliang. There are those who are frightened, and there are those who are angry and resentful, and so on.
Needless to say, those resentful people have accumulated resentment towards Li Su in their hearts, and they can't tear him apart; As for those who are afraid, they panic out of fear, and they become hungry and do everything they can to win over Li Su, hoping to get 'immunity' from Li Su to forgive his death. And Li Su, in the past two days, he has made a lot of money silently, and the gold and silver beauties sent by Xiliang were hesitant to take it at first, but then people gave it too much, and his hand was soft, so he didn't think so. Anyway, this matter is not a loss for him, the money is still collected, and he doesn't have to think about it at all. After all, once the Xiliang people were disbanded, even if he didn't trouble them, some of them would be cleaned up by the Kwantung generals.
It was precisely in view of a kind of anxiety on his side that he had a desperate state of mind, and he hesitated and dragged it until now, that is, Zhao Xue asked today, and he didn't know whether he should want to stay here, or should he set off to Shaanxi County as soon as possible to pass on the will of the imperial court. After all, he still understands the truth of late change.
However, the worries are troubles, and the fun in front of him is the fun in front of him, and he doesn't want someone to get in the way in front of him when he is looking for fun, so he just finds an excuse to send her away, just wanting to delay it for two days. He was playing with the beauty in his arms, changing the way to make her laugh, but she just didn't laugh, she just trembled vigorously, afraid and didn't dare to speak, and he was also angry.
As soon as he got up, he was about to ask her what was going on, when a soldier suddenly rushed in from outside the tent and reported to Li Suyu: "Oh no! Xiliang ...... Xiliang over there......"
"Xiliang? What's going on over there in Xiliang? ”
Li Su was most worried about the matter of Xiliang now, he saw that the soldier had an anxious look on his face, and his words were gentle, and he was also shocked in his heart, so he asked him. When the soldier saw this, he immediately said to him, "General! The camp of the Xiliang Army in Shaanxi County made a fuss. ”、
When Li Su heard this, his brows knotted and he said, "What am I saying!" Isn't this Xiliang always making trouble? What can happen? The soldier said, "General, this time, this time is different." This time, because the camp tent of the Xiliang army was burned, I heard that after the general Niu Fu saw the fire, he thought that the whole camp was reversed, so he didn't say a word and took away the gold and silver fine, and escaped from the camp with Hu Chi'er. After that......"
"Wait! Are you saying that Niu Fu is no longer in the camp in Shaanxi County? ”
"It's said to be gone."
"Aha, God help me, God help me!" Li Su also categorically did not expect that the generals Niu Fu and Hu Chi'er would run away. Anyway, as long as he runs away and there are not many people around him to take care of him, it will naturally not be able to become a climate, and it is of course extremely convenient to deal with it. And as long as Niu Fu and Hu Che'er leave, Xiliangjun will basically lose its backbone, so naturally there is no need to worry, but it is a good time for him to show his hands and feet at this time.
He patted the wooden case, pushed the 'beauty' who was in the way around him, scolded him loudly, and let him take it away. He paced left and right in the camp tent, thought twice, and asked the soldiers to invite Xu Rong, the Taishou of Xingyang, to come.
That Xu Rong is also a 'deputy envoy', and he can be regarded as the 'main thing' in the team. He saw that Li Su stayed in Caoyang Pavilion for two or three days and didn't leave, and he was in a hurry, and he wanted to ask, but he found Li Su two or three times, but he only refused to see Xu Rong because he was unwell, and Xu Rong couldn't find Li Su if he was angry. Only he came once this morning, but he didn't succeed once, and he didn't expect him to send someone to summon him this time, although he was angry in his heart, he had to come to see him obediently.
As soon as Li Su saw Xu Rong, he went straight to the point, told Xu Rong the news of Xiliang that his subordinates had heard, and asked Xu Rong what to do. When Xu Rong heard this, he doubted the truth of this matter for a while, and he couldn't help but ask a few more questions, and when he heard it, it was indeed Niu Fu and Hu Chi'er who fled with gold and silver, and Fang Cai was slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought.
"This is a great opportunity, Xu Taishou, have you thought about it?"
Of course, Xu Rong thought about it, but just for the sake of insurance, he didn't say what he thought in his heart. He looked at him and asked, "Then General Li, what do you mean......"
Li Su smiled: "There is a saying that while you are sick, you will die, Xu Taishou, you are not unfamiliar with this sentence, right?" Thinking about it, since our mission this time is to disband the chaotic party of Xiliang, and since it is rare to have a chaotic Xiliang now, it is also the best opportunity for us to act, if we can fish in troubled waters, maybe we can achieve greater credit, Xu Taishou, what do you think? ”
Xu Rong raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Su, nodded slightly, and said to him: "As soon as Niu Fu leaves, the three armies of Xiliang have no owner, and when he touches the past when the army is in turmoil at this time, it is natural for my court to have a chance to fish in troubled waters." But, General Li, can you tell me that there are other people besides Niu Fu and Hu Chi'er, who have disappeared with gold and silver? For example...... Jia Xu ......"
"Jia Xu!"
I don't know why, when Jia Xu's name is mentioned, not only Li Su is stunned, but even Xu Rong is also stunned. The two of them were stunned by this 'Jia Xu' for a while, weighing the pros and cons left and right, but it was difficult to give up for a while. Speaking of which, although the Xiliang Army of Shaanxi County is Niu Fu in charge, in fact, how capable Niu Fu is is very clear to others. Thinking about it, if it weren't for Jia Xu in the Niu Auxiliary Army and planning behind him, the Xiliang Army in Shaanxi County would be able to easily become a climate? I think that the bandits near Guangshan County have a headache with Niu Fu, let alone the Xiliang army that manages tens of thousands.
And the Xiliang Army in Shaanxi County, to put it bluntly, the Xiliang Three Armies can be without Niu Fu, but they must be without Jia Xu. Whether it is power or prestige, Jia Xu will never lose to Niu Fu in the Xiliang army. Therefore, how to leave Jia Xu in the Xiliang army may be more pleasing to Li Su and others than to hear that Niu Fu is gone. But the current situation is that Niu Fu is gone, but there is still no news from Jia Xu, and even the information provided to him by Li Su's Tanma does not know the details.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course Li Su doesn't want to miss it easily, and he will never miss it because of a Jia Xu. Although, he knew that the result of fishing in troubled waters this time was good or bad, and the one who was most involved was Jia Xu, but at this time, since he could not know Jia Xu's whereabouts, and he was unwilling to let go of such a great opportunity, then he could only give it his go, and maybe there would be a glimmer of hope.
Xu Rong was still a little hesitant about Li Su's decision, he looked at Li Su and asked him, "General Li, did you really decide that?" ”
Li Su pressed his sword and said: "It's decided!" ”
"Hey......"
Xu Rong sighed lightly, he knew that once Li Su, the envoy, made this decision, if he wanted to change his opposition, he was afraid that it would have no effect. What's more, in this matter, he also felt that he could try to give it a go, saying that he would not be able to catch a big fish.
Xu Rong thought for a while, raised his hand and said to Li Su: "Okay, since General Li has made this decision, then I will fully cooperate." However, military aircraft have always been fleeting, and if one cannot be grasped, all the achievements will be lost. If you want to do it, then ask the general to do it now! I don't want to miss a great opportunity. ”
Li Su listened, although there was still a faint unhappiness in his heart, he also regretted it a little when he thought of his actions. However, he carefully rubbed the fine sweat in his palms, that is, gritted his teeth, and looked at Xu Rong and said, "Then without further ado, let's send troops tonight!" ”
