Chapter 549: Black and White
Li Canghai shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then you can only resign yourself to fate." ”
Xue Xuan looked at Li Canghai, a look of worry rose on her face, and she said, "Canghai, let me go with you!" ”
Li Canghai thought for a while and said, "Xuan'er, I want you to help me do something, help me take care of my little sister and Huahua." ”
Xue Xuan's beautiful eyes were full of anticipation, she instantly understood the meaning of Li Canghai's words, and immediately shook her head anxiously.
Li Canghai said seriously: "Xuan'er, this time to fight against the Japanese, it must be a vicious battle. If I can't come back, Xiaomei and Huahua will entrust it to you. ”
Xue Xuan's eyes suddenly moistened, she knew that Li Canghai was entrusting him with the matter behind him, and he was clearly going to fight against the Japanese with the determination to die.
"Canghai, do you really want to do this?" Xue Xuan's eyes flickered with tears, and her voice trembled a little as she asked.
Li Canghai nodded heavily and said, "Dongying's attack on Silla is actually to use Silla to attack my Tang Dynasty. Speaking of this, Li Canghai paused, and he said deeply: "In two years, Datang will fall into war." If Dongying occupies Silla and wields troops in the Central Plains, it will definitely be a disaster. By then, Datang will really be finished! ”
From the current point of view, he can't stop An Lushan from rebelling, and he can't make Datang return to its former prosperity.
In today's Tang Dynasty, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are struggling to make a living, which cannot be saved by one person.
What's more, An Lushan has a strong army in his hands and is deeply trusted by Xuanzong, and although he is the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, he is powerless and powerless, even if he has the heart to resist An Lushan, he does not have that strength.
All he could do was to minimize all the damage before the Anshi Rebellion broke out.
Therefore, before this, there must be no war in Datang.
Otherwise, it will only greatly consume the national strength of Datang and accelerate the demise of Datang.
"Dongying is a small country, vainly trying to occupy the Tang Dynasty. This time, I want to let them know one thing, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! Li Canghai slapped the armrest of the wheelchair and said.
Xue Xuan and Di Qing glanced at each other and fell silent at the same time.
"It's not too early, we should pack up and head north. Xuan'er, the little sister and Huahua will be handed over to you. Li Canghai said.
Xue Xuan bit her lip lightly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, I will take care of them." ”
Li Canghai didn't dare to look into Xue Xuan's eyes, he lowered his head and sighed, then pushed the wheelchair and left the garden.
Looking at Li Canghai's back, the tears on Xue Xuan's eyelashes slipped down in an instant.
She wiped away her tears, took Di Qing's hand, and said seriously: "Qing'er, the safety of Canghai will be handed over to you, and after I settle my little sister and Huahua, I will immediately go to Silla to help you." ”
Di Qing nodded, she glanced at Li Canghai and said, "Sister Xue, I know your thoughts...... I'll protect the sea. ”
After noon, Li Canghai and Di Qing left Yangzhou City in a carriage under the escort of more than 20 Jianning iron guards.
Hurrying up, day and night, it took them two days to come from Yangzhou to Yanzhou.
Yanzhou Zhishuo, outside the city of Benqiu County, Li Canghai found the Eastern Expeditionary Army that had been waiting for a long time.
"The last generals, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, led the whole army to welcome the general!" In front of the barracks, a group of generals in armor saluted Li Canghai's carriage.
Li Canghai lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage with Di Qing's support.
Seeing this, Jianning Tiewei immediately took off the wooden wheelchair from the carriage and let Li Canghai sit on it.
All the generals immediately looked at each other, they never expected that this holy and proclaimed general of the Eastern Expedition would be a cripple!
"Generals don't have to be polite." Li Canghai didn't care about their strange eyes.
He glanced at the generals, led by two middle-aged men.
One of these two people has a handsome appearance, and he looks like he has just passed the age of standing, but his beard is white, like an elegant old man, but he exudes a heroic spirit of battlefield killing, Li Canghai secretly guessed that this person is Gao Xianzhi.
The other person is ugly, with a full beard, and his body exudes a killing intent unique to the army, and this person is naturally Feng Changqing.
The two of them stand together, as if black and white, forming a stark contrast.
"Li Mou has heard the names of the two generals for a long time, and when I saw them today, they really deserved their reputation!" Li Canghai hugged his fists at the two.
Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing hurriedly bowed and said: "The general has won the award, I have been stationed in the border fortress all the year round, and rarely return to the Central Plains. ”
"The two generals are polite, but I don't know how many men and horses the two generals brought this time?" Li Canghai asked.
Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing glanced at each other, bowed their heads and said, "General Hui, we have brought more than 30,000 soldiers and horses ....... ”
"Thirty thousand? Isn't it fifty thousand? Di Qing, who was standing behind Li Canghai, frowned.
"I wonder who this girl is?" Gao Xianzhi is a little strange, there is no room for women in this army, this marshal of the Eastern Expedition actually brought a woman, I really don't know if he is here to fight, or to play in the mountains and rivers.
Jianning Tiewei on the side shouted: "Bold! This is the county lord of Di Qing who was canonized by the saint himself! When you see the county lord, why don't you hurry up and salute? ”
Gao Xianzhi and the others hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said, "The last general will wait to see the county lord!" ”
"Get up and talk back! What's going on here? Didn't the holy decree say that 50,000 soldiers and horses were given to Canghai, why did it suddenly become 30,000? Di Qing's face was a little cold.
Gao Xianzhi sighed and said, "Back to the county lord, the original will received by the last general was also to requisition 50,000 horses. However, before leaving, he suddenly received an urgent report from the military headquarters that the Turks might take advantage of the departure of the border defenders to cross the border and harass them, so that the last general would leave 20,000 horses to prevent the Turks. ”
"Damn! This must be Yang Guozhong's ghost behind his back! Di Qing instantly understood the reason, and couldn't help but hate the root of his teeth.
Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Sure enough, what I was worried about along the way still happened." ”
Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
They have been stationed at the border, and they do not know what is happening in the Central Plains, but they only vaguely know that Li Canghai seems to be a civilian official, and he has a good reputation recently.
When they received the decree, they were puzzled.
The Tang Dynasty has countless orders, why do you have to let a civilian official lead the army to fight.
Especially when they saw that Li Canghai was a cripple, the two of them instantly felt extremely disappointed in their hearts.
"General, the military department has an order, saying that as long as the general takes over the army, he must immediately pull out the village and set up camp. The deadline is two days, rush to Silla, the prison officer has already arrived in Silla ahead of schedule, if the deadline is exceeded, it will be dealt with according to military law! Gao Xianzhi said.
Li Canghai frowned, he knew that Yang Guozhong must be stumbling on him again. (To be continued.) )
