When Yang Nianfu heard Li Jing's praise, he was full of spirit for a while, because there were not many people who could get Li Jing's praise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Jing had already opened the two letters and read them for a long time. When he closed the letter, he was silent. Yang Nianfu asked, "General Li, what's wrong, is there a problem with the letter?" ”

Li Jing shook his head slowly, "There is no problem, but the king of Xiliang said ......" After hesitating for a moment, Li Jing said: "Nianfu, what did the king of Xiliang say to you before leaving?" ”

Yang Nianfu said blankly: "He just said, let me listen to General Li's orders." ”

"That's all?" Li Jing asked.

Yang Nianfu nodded, "It's really only this sentence, and let me be careful all the way." ”

Li Jing smiled and beckoned Yang Nianfu to sit down, "Nianfu, what is your ambition?" ”

Yang Nianfu was a little flattered, "My ambition is to be a good person, raise a good horse, and be a ...... like Brother Xiao Checkmate! Being able to help Brother Xiao do something is my greatest wish! ”

Li Jing's face was as usual, and he said after a while: "Do you know what my ambition is?" ”

"I've heard others say that General Li once said that if a husband meets the Lord at the right time, he must make meritorious deeds in order to gain wealth and wealth!" Yang Nianfu said.

Li Jing smiled, "That's because I was young and frivolous, and I was right back then...... What the family said. Everyone's wishes will change, King Xiliang just wanted to be a horse dealer in the first place, and I am no exception! However, after many years in Chang'an and Dongdu, this kind of thinking has faded, and my current ambition is to unify Jiangnan, fight the Turks, and help the king of Western Liang pacify the world. In fact, I have been fighting for so long, and every time I go out into the army, I am terrified. ”

"Why?" Yang Nianfu was puzzled: "Everyone says that General Li is a victorious general, and he has never tasted defeat in his life. Back then, with 300 iron horses, you could sweep the grassland for thousands of miles, would people like you be afraid? ”

"It's uneasiness, not fear." Li Jing sighed: "In every battle, no matter how well I prepare and how confident I am in victory, there is one thing that cannot be avoided, and that is the dead. Either the Western Liang army dies, or the enemy dies! Every battle means not only victory, but also death! ”

Yang Nianfu nodded as if he didn't understand, and then looked at Li Jing's eyes, which were very different.

"After many years of fighting, King Xiliang, like me, does not seek to knock down the opponent as quickly as possible, but only seeks the most correct time to defeat the opponent to reduce the losses of the opponent, so we have been waiting. For the bandits, we can recruit as much as possible, and those who can surrender will try our best to surrender, only punish the evil, and the rest can be pardoned, so as to calm Jiangnan as soon as possible. The feeling that the world is unified and that there is no need to conquer anymore is actually better than the feeling of a victorious general! In the world, opportunities are very important, and sometimes, I think it's good to be a master if I don't want to be a general. ”

Yang Nianfu said uneasily: "General Li, did I say something wrong?" "Although he is not very old, he is born in a bitter cold, has suffered many hardships, and is far more sensitive than people of his age, and knows that General Li has something to say to him.

Li Jing said: "Nianfu, I call you so because I see you as a man who is sincere and benevolent and can distinguish between right and wrong. You must know that the king of Xiliang values you very much. Because he apologized to your sister for feeling unusual, but he wouldn't say ......"

Yang Nianfu said gratefully: "I know! General Li, in fact, I have always wanted to say to the king of Xiliang that my sister was willing to go to Bashu, and she didn't think too much about it at that time. Her thoughts at that time were the same as I do now, just thinking about helping Brother Xiao. We owe him so much, and he has done so much for our brother and sister, and it should be me, not him, who feels sorry! If it weren't for me, my sister wouldn't have to go to the Eastern Capital, or if it weren't for me, my sister might still be carefree now! If it weren't for me, my sister and Brother Xiao wouldn't have to suffer! ”

Tears flashed in the corners of his eyes, and Li Jing patted the top of his head, full of emotion.

Yang Nianfu said: "I haven't said this to Brother Xiao, because I don't want to!" It's not that I want Brother Xiao to thank me, it's just that I always want Brother Xiao to remember my sister and go to Bashu to see my sister again. But I know he's really busy! ”

Yang Nianfu was sad, he was no longer the lively and cheerful little brother he was back then.

Poverty and hard work can undoubtedly make a person grow faster.

Li Jing smiled and said: "You can think so, I'm really happy, King Xiliang will definitely go to Bashu, but obviously not now." ”

Yang Nianfu nodded vigorously, "I know, my biggest expectation now is to go to Bashu with Brother Xiao to visit my sister." I want my sister to know that her relatives are more important than ever. I actually wanted to see her, but she didn't see me, she said that my younger brother is a person who does big things, and she wants to see me do big things before she goes to see her. What my sister says, my younger brother has always wanted to listen! Brother Xiao is a general, Brother Li, you are a general, famous all over the world, admired by thousands of people, I admire you two the most, so ...... I want to be a general too! ”

Li Jing looked at him for a long time, "The king of Xiliang sent you to me because you want to be a general." ”

He pushed the letter in front of the younger brother, and when the younger brother saw it, tears finally rolled down, "General Li, I don't know, he still remembers a random sentence I used to say for so long!" ”

"He remembers everything you say, and he will take it to heart. He's the kind of person who will do what he says, but he doesn't necessarily know how to say it. Li Jing said with emotion: "He hopes that you will follow me, so that he can rest assured." ”

"General Li, aren't you going to leave me behind?" The younger brother said worriedly.

Li Jing looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded, "I really don't plan to keep you, if you are three points today, the overall situation has gradually become clear." Fu Gongqi can't escape our palms, Wang Shichong's deceit, Shen Faxing's brutality, are all unpopular. At most, as long as I am given half a year, I can pacify Jiangnan! ”

The younger brother listened quietly, looked at Li Jing's guidance, and showed admiration.

"The next thing I want to do is to help the king of Western Liang pacify Hebei and wait for an opportunity to fight against the Turks and Guanlong." Li Jing said with emotion: "Nianfu, although the Great Sui has been chaotic for many years, the foundation is still there. At the beginning, Emperor Wen ruled the world, ended the turmoil between the north and the south for too long, and the people were happy for many years. You are still young, although you are better than anyone else in the transmission of thousands of miles, but it is not easy to be a general, and it is even more difficult to be a good general! I'm just afraid...... You can't stay up to be a good general. Nianfu, I said to you bluntly, you don't have to blame me. ”

Li Jing rarely spoke like this, looking at Yang Nianfu as if looking at a friend. Yang Nianfu said in frustration: "General Li, of course I won't blame you, you know...... You are for my good. I...... Go back and tell Brother Xiao that I won't be a general anymore. ”

"You don't have to be a general, you can do great things." Li Jing smiled.

Yang Nianfu perked up, "Really? ”

Li Jing whispered a few words in his ear, and Yang Nianfu hesitated: "This is a big deal?" ”

Li Jing said solemnly: "You don't believe me? ”

Yang Nianfu saw that Li Jing was serious, and finally nodded and said, "I believe it!" I believe that you, like Brother Xiao, will never lie to me. General Li, I'll go back now. ”

He was about to get up, but Li Jing held him down, "Do you really think you're beaten with iron?" Traveling thousands of miles, and still rushing at night? After two days of rest, I will go back, I have a letter for you to bring to the king of Xiliang. ”

Yang Nianfu agreed, Li Jing asked the soldiers to take him to rest, spread rice paper on the table, pondered for a long time, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The third child is not a thing, pushing this child to me, this is really more tiring than fighting." ”

**

Du Fuwei left, and the Jianghuai army was in chaos.

For many years, Du Fuwei has undoubtedly been the anchor of the Jianghuai Army. He led the Jianghuai army to fight for many years, experienced hundreds of battles, has always been out of the front, after entering the palace, he commanded a point, there is a fire pit in front of him, and the Jianghuai army will not hesitate to jump down.

The Jianghuai army has been able to unite for so many years, protecting the family is one purpose, and following Du Fuwei is the other most important purpose.

But now, Du Fuwei actually went to the Eastern Capital?

Ximen Junyi's head is as big as a fight, and he keeps explaining, there are few people who can believe it, and there are many people who don't believe it. Rumors are slowly spreading, and the most terrifying thing is that Ximen Junyi has joined forces with the imperial court to plot against Du Fuwei and seek high-ranking officials for himself. The most pessimistic thing is that Du Fuwei gave up the Jianghuai Army and only planned for his own future!

Whether it is horror or pessimism, the situation is extremely unfavorable for Ximen Junyi.

Fortunately, there are still many Jianghuai soldiers who believe in Ximen Junyi, because after all, he and Du Fuwei have been born and died for many years, and they can be regarded as the No. 3 people in the Jianghuai Army.

In Liyang City, the Jianghuai Army held an emergency meeting again, just to discuss the way out of the Jianghuai Army.

After Duvowe left, no one could sit in his place. Sitting in the upper position in the hall, his face is wrinkled, overlapping, but his spirit is still strong, his hair is half gray and half white, and his eyes seem to be open and closed.

Although everyone was noisy and unorthodox, they looked at Fu Gongyi's eyes, and they were all a little afraid.

Fu Gong Yi and Du Fu Wei have always been good friends, the two of them have been lonely and poor since childhood, Fu Gong Yi is older, and Du Fu Wei has always treated him like a brother. When the two did not rebel, Fu Gongqi often went to steal relatives' sheep to give Du Fuwei money. Du Fuwei has always been grateful, and he and Fugong are inseparable from each other in the army. People in the army will call Fu Gong Yi as an assistant uncle to show respect.

Ximen Junyi sat at Fu Gong Yi's hand, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't even glance at Fu Gong Yi. Although the two are close, they seem to be far away. Ximen Junyi was upset when he heard everyone arguing around.

Du Fuwei received a lot of righteous sons, but the two most capable and trusted by him were the two, one was Wang Xiongdan, who had just died in Kyoto, and the other was Kan Ling, who sat under Ximen Junyi.

The rest of the righteous sons sat opposite each other in a noisy manner, and some sat directly on the ground, which made Ximen Junyi feel a little relieved that all the righteous sons were very concerned about Du Fuwei after all, and they all had concerns on their faces. This is the motivation for Ximen Junyi to persevere, otherwise on the first day he comes back, he is afraid that he will be beheaded by many people.

Except for Du Fuwei, no one in the Jianghuai army was convinced!

The rest of the Jianghuai generals, such as Chen Zhengtong, Xu Shaoan and others, all looked solemn, and no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts. Ximen Junyi's gaze fell on a person in the distance, hidden worry.

The man was sturdy, with two horizontal and vertical cuts on his face, and his face was indescribably ugly. That person's name was Miao Haichao, and he was originally Du Fuwei's opponent. As soon as Duvowe left, not many people paid attention to him, because many people did not regard him as a brother at all, except for Dufuwei.

Miao Haichao was also a giant thief, and he was in full swing with Du Fuwei back then, and even led more than 1,000 people to ambush Du Fuwei, almost killing Du Fuwei and his son.

But later, in order to strengthen his power, Du Fuwei resolutely decided to merge with Miao Haichao's forces. Du Fuwei challenged Miao Haichao alone, allowing him to bring four helpers, and the losing side was dominated by the winner.

If Miao Haichao does not accept this kind of challenge, he will not have to mix in Xiapi in the future. Thieves also have a way, thieves also have to establish prestige, if you can't convince the public, how can you lead a party? As a result, Du Fuwei killed Miao Haichao's four helpers, but spared Miao Haichao's life. However, the scar on Miao Haichao's face was also left at that time, and in that battle, Du Fuwei was injured again, but he was the same as the iron beaten, and he still did not fall after all.

Originally, according to Jiang Huaijun's idea, it was better to kill Miao Haichao, but Du Fuwei insisted on refusing, not only releasing his previous suspicions with Miao Haichao, but also calling Miao Haichao a brother. Du Fuwei's mind is undoubtedly very heartbroken for hot-blooded men!

However, what everyone admires is Du Fuwei, for Miao Haichao, after all, there is still some mustard, so in the hall today, this person seems quite lonely.

The crowd was still gossiping and talking. Kan Ling finally said: "Don't quarrel, now that the chief is not here, we have Li Jing of the Western Liang Army in the west, and Wang Shichong's Huainan Army in the east is like a wolf and a tiger." Wang Shichong has invaded Danyang, according to my wishes, it is better to repel Wang Shichong first, and then make plans. ”

Kan Ling also has prestige in the Jianghuai army, and many people nod.

Chen Zhengtong shook his head and said, "General Kan, I don't think it's appropriate. ”

Kan Ling was not angry, and asked with a smile, "The soldiers are pressing the realm, what is General Chen's opinion?" ”

Chen Zhengtong hesitated for a moment, "Although the army is pressing, the current situation is not clear. We sent troops without authorization, and we were afraid that we would end up in our own way. ”

Everyone was surprised: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Chen Zhengdao: "Manager Du doesn't know where to go, where are we going, which brother can give a definite answer?" Our army is caught between two forces, and it is beyond the strength to confront it alone, let alone divide the troops into two ways. The way to survive now is to unite one side. That's why I said that if I started a war with Wang Shichong, wouldn't I be ruined? ”

Kan Ling smiled and did not refute. Ximen Junyi was dissatisfied: "General Chen, I think you are wrong. ”

Chen Zhengdao: "Please also ask General Ximen for advice." ”

Ximen Junyi shook his head and said, "Everyone is a brother, and they don't dare to give advice." But you just said that Mr. Du didn't know where to go, but you were very wrong. As I have already said, Mr. Du went to the Eastern Capital to find a way out for our brothers. So I think the top priority is to contact General Li, not to take refuge in Wang Shichong! ”

Chen Zhengtong said coldly: "General Ximen, I only know that until now, the whereabouts of Chief Du are just what you said!" ”

"What do you mean by that, you doubt me?" Ximen Junyi took the case.

Chen Zhengtong was not afraid, and said hesitantly: "I didn't say that, if you don't have a weak heart as a thief, why are you so angry?" Ximen Junyi, if you have a clear conscience, why is there no news from this Jiudu manager? ”

Ximen Junyi clenched his fists, but he complained bitterly in his heart, Du Fuwei left in a hurry, no wonder they were suspicious. He only knew that Du Fuwei had a hard time, but he didn't know what the specific reason was. In order to deal with Liang Yanniang, Du Fuwei did not tell his subordinates everything.

Maybe it's because he doesn't know which of his subordinates has entanglements with Taiping Dao, or maybe it's because he doesn't want to know! He didn't want to expose his brother who was born and died with him, and he didn't want to meet with a sword, so he chose to escape for the time being, or retreat as an advance.

Du Fuwei is very contradictory, Rao is a giant thief on his side, and he can't solve the crisis around him, he can only take one step at a time.

Seeing the two of them, Fu Gong Yi waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk." After all, Fu Gongqi still has prestige, and as soon as he spoke, everyone was solemn. Kan Ling said respectfully: "Uncle Fu, the soldiers are pressing the realm, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

"First of all, we have to confirm where Volwe went." Fu Gongqi groaned. Here he dared to call Du Fuwei like that, everyone looked at each other, and said in their hearts that this was no different from not saying it.

Ximen Junyi was angry in his heart, and secretly thought that although Fu Gongyi didn't say it, he obviously didn't trust him.

Fu Gongqi said again: "Even if General Manager Du doesn't come back, the Jianghuai Army will still be the Jianghuai Army, and it won't become the Western Liang Army or the Huainan Army!" How can we marry someone else after many years of war? ”

Everyone agreed, some disagreed, and Ximen Junyi said anxiously: "Uncle Fu, you don't believe me either?" ”

Fu Gongqi pondered for a long time before he said: "Everything has to wait for Manager Du to have news before making a decision, and now I am afraid that a hasty decision will make a big mistake." ”

Ximen Junyi's heart was a little calm, and Chen Zhengtong asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”

"After all, this country was laid by Fu Wei, in fact, Fu Wei is not here, we should temporarily set up Dejun as the mainstay." Dejun is Du Dejun, the son of Du Fuwei, the chief is not there, and it is common to set up a son as the master. But Du Dejun is only a few years old, even Kan Ling couldn't help but be surprised: "Dejun is young, how can he call the shots?" Again...... Have you found Dejun? ”

A few days ago, Du Fuwei left, and his wife and children were gone, so the Jianghuai army spread that Du Fuwei suddenly gave up his brother and took his wife and children to the Eastern Capital.

Fu Gongqi muttered: "The day before yesterday, someone said that I saw my brother-in-law and nephew in the countryside, and my brother-in-law seems to have taken my nephew to visit relatives. ”

Everyone was in high spirits and said: "This is the best, it seems that Mr. Du really hasn't given up on us." ”

Everyone knows that Du Fuwei loves his son the most, and if he leaves, there is no reason not to leave with his son. Ximen Junyi's face was a little weird, Fu Gongyi looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Junyi, what do you have to say?" ”

Ximen Junyi shook his head slowly, "What Uncle Fu said makes a lot of sense. ”

Fu Gongqi looked at Miao Haichao, who was standing in the distance, "Haichao, what do you think?" ”

All the righteous sons were dissatisfied, and one of them shouted: "Uncle Fu, ask him what he has done, this is our Jianghuai army's business." "That person's name is He Shaosheng, and among Du Fuwei's righteous sons, he ranks twelfth.

Miao Haichao's face was gloomy, no one knew what he was thinking, listening to Fu Gongyi's inquiry, he said slowly: "What Twelve Young said is right, I have no right to say much about the affairs of the Jianghuai Army." However, Mr. Du has the grace of not killing me, and temporarily establishes Dejun as the main one, I have no objection! ”

Fu Gongyi nodded, and asked again, "Kan Ling, what do you think?" ”

Kan Ling said: "Of course I won't object to Li Dejun, but Dejun is young, and he still needs the assistance of Uncle Fu and Brother Ximen." ”

Ximen Junyi showed a strong smile, and Fu Gongyi sighed: "Now that Fu Wei has left suddenly, the Jianghuai army is in chaos...... I'll wait for ......" Before his words fell, a bandit hurriedly entered the hall and said: "Qiyu Fubo, General Ximen, Li Jing sent a messenger to ask for a meeting!" ”

The group of thieves was in an uproar and talked a lot, and they didn't know what Li Jing had sent his envoys to do at this time. Fu Gongyi waved his hand, and everyone was solemn.

"Ask him to come in."

After the bandits went out, Fu Gongqi said softly: "The person who comes is a guest, Fu Wei is not here, we can't fall into the prestige of the Jianghuai army." ”

When Chen Xiaoyi walked in, although the group of thieves looked around, he was still smiling. Seeing Fu Gongyi, Shi Li said: "This must be Fu Bo?" ”

Seeing that he was respectful, the group of thieves had a bad attack for a while, and Fu Gongqi smiled: "Don't you dare to ask Your Excellency's surname?" ”

"Under Chen Xiaoyi, General Li is just a nobody."

Fu Gong Yi smiled, "Yanmen Juncheng, is he also a nobody?" ”

The group of thieves was slightly moved, Chen Xiaoyi was slightly awe-inspired, it turned out that before he took refuge in the Eastern Capital, he was indeed Yanmen County, originally Yanmen and Liyang, which can be said to be thousands of miles apart, Fu Gongqi actually knew his origin, which can be said to be extraordinary.

Thinking of what Li Jing said when he came, Chen Xiaoyi was even more cautious, "The past is like smoke, and the county and the general are just a flash." ”

"And what are you doing here?" Fu Gongqi asked.

"I came here this time to send a handwritten letter from Mr. Du!"

Chen Xiaoyi's voice landed, and there was a deathly silence in the hall, Chen Xiaoyi smiled, but his eyes were staring at Fu Gongyi's expression, and when he saw the corners of his mouth twitching, it was as usual.

This is a very small movement, and if you are not careful, you will not be able to pay attention to it. Chen Xiaoyi saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands, "Manager Du said that this letter ...... Please take a look at Uncle Fu, General Ximen and Miao Haichao. ”

The group of thieves shrugged, and Chen Zhengtong shouted: "Chen Xiaoyi, you have such a big breath, do you want whoever you want to watch?" ”

Chen Xiaoyi said with a smile: "It's not that I'm so angry. Yang Yang's letter, "This is the handwritten letter of General Manager Du, could it be that General Manager Du is not there, and Jiang Huaijun will forget him?" ”

Everyone was silent, even Chen Zhengtong didn't say much.

No matter what Du Fuwei is, in the minds of the Jianghuai army, the weight is not trivial!

The corners of Fu Gongyi's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked softly, "Where is Manager Du now?" ”

"It's in the Eastern Capital at the moment." Chen Xiaoyi replied.

"Is everything okay with him?" Fu Gongqi asked again. It was normal for him to ask, he and Duvowe had been brothers for many years, and when the brothers left, they greeted each other, something ordinary.

Chen Xiaoyi smiled slightly, "There are clear words in the letter. I think that since Mr. Du wrote this letter, it means that there is nothing wrong with him. ”

Fu Gongyi stared at the letter in his hand for a long time before he said, "Okay, you put down the letter and go back!" ”
