Chapter 63: Meet Jiexiu Again
After Liu Yuliang said this, even he felt that it was too much, and he had already done his best to rescue himself from thousands of troops, and at this moment the Tartars had completely broken up the five military camps, and then went back, wouldn't it be a meat bun to beat a dog!
Wang Pu was slightly embarrassed, where could he order Li Xin's subordinates, if Liu Yuliang's old man could definitely detect the embarrassment of Wang Pu's identity, he could also see that what this team was really talking about was Li Xin. But he experienced the catastrophe of life and death for the first time, and he ignored these details under the great shock. But then again, he didn't have time to notice Li Xin at all, first, Li Xin was dressed exactly like an ordinary soldier, and he was also a scaly armor. Second, they did not get out of danger at this time, and if the Tartars were entangled, it would not be easy to get out, so Li Xin kept his energy and attention on the battlefield all the time.
Once the position was stabilized, the Gaoyang army retreated steadily, and the two Tartars seemed to have suffered a big loss, but they lacked stamina and did not keep up, so they slowly retreated for a full hour before they were out of the battlefield. He galloped north for another hour, and did not rest until he crossed a large river at dawn.
The bumps of this night can make Liu Yuliang's old bones fall apart, but in front of a group of Xingwu Qiuba, he can't lose the face and frame of being the first assistant of the court, and he is holding on with hard work. Only then did he remember the soldier who had prevented him from committing suicide last night. And when he saw him sitting on the ground, he called him over.
Li Xin already knew at this time that this little old man was Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the current dynasty, he looked at this person carefully, and he was not amazing, the defeat of the five military camps last night was so miserable, and his responsibility as the first assistant to supervise the military was not small. Besides, anyone who knows a little bit about military affairs should not choose that road, isn't it crazy to pass Guò in a narrow strip of land only a dozen miles between Anzhou and Baiyangdian?
I really don't know how he became the first assistant, Chongzhen uses these two brushes?
"What is the matter with the elder calling Li Xin?"
"Thanks to the rescue last night, I don't know what reward you want?"
Liu Yuliang is very full of shelves, in fact, this is not to blame him, I think he is above 10,000 people under the head of the cabinet, and he is the prime minister, and he personally asked a little Qiu Ba what reward he wanted.
But Liu Yuliang was disappointed, he didn't see the slightest excitement or joy in this little Qiu Ba's eyes, which made him feel like he was punching out.
"This is Li Xin's duty, and he didn't ask for anything in return, the old man of the pavilion is resting, and the army will be pulled out in half an hour!"
If before, Li Xin did not show his gratitude, but only let his inner status be transcendent, and the superiority of the people under him was slightly frustrated, then Li Xin's hard answer really made him unable to get off the stage.
But after all, Liu Yuliang has been immersed in Yin officialdom for decades, and the city still has this, just for a moment, he suppressed his anger, coughed dryly and laughed: "Little brother is righteous, save people without asking for anything in return." But then he asked, "I wonder what position the little brother holds in the army?" ”
Li Xin told the truth: "Li Xin is only a Minzhuang teacher recruited by Sun Ge Lao in Gaoyang City. ”
"Oh!"
Li Xin saw that Liu Yuliang seemed to be absent-minded, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he wanted to retire, but who expected that Liu Yuliang would ask again.
"So, you are not General Wang's subordinates, but the people recruited by Sun Ge Lao?"
"Exactly!"
"That Mr. Wang ......" Liu Yuliang asked for some reason, but changed the topic.
"Sun Ge's seasoned good soldiers, I don't know which way to go to Gaoyang?"
Li Xin had already familiarized himself with the terrain of the two prefectures of Baoding between the rivers, and replied without thinking about it: "If it is safe, it should go south from the east side of Baiyangdian, bypass Renqiu and then turn to Gaoyang, so that you can cross the Tartar on the line from Anzhou to Baoding." ”
"What, what? Isn't this Ren Qiu? ”
Liu Yuliang changed his tone abruptly, obviously shocked by Li Xin's words.
"Don't you know? The place where you were attacked last night was Anju! ”
"This is strange, Ren Qiu who obviously left."
Li Xin looked at Liu Yuliang's demeanor and didn't look like a fake, could it be that they took the wrong way to come to Anzhou? In this way, it seems that the Tartar who was waiting for the north of Anzhou and Liu Yuliang just met by chance, and this thing was really unlucky, and he went the wrong way and went directly into the encirclement of others. Li Xin couldn't help but look at Liu Yuliang a few more times.
Liu Yuliang seemed to have recovered as usual, but still sighed.
"The five military camps are all wiped out, I wonder if the little brother can escort the old man to Gaoyang?"
Originally, Li Xin didn't plan to ask more, but since Liu Yuliang mentioned it, he asked casually: "There are tens of thousands of Tartars gathered outside Gaoyang City, it is extremely dangerous, what is the old man doing in Gaoyang?" ”
He didn't expect Liu Yuliang to answer him seriously, which was really the opposite of his previous attitude towards Amman.
"It's not a secret, the old man came to Gaoyang with a holy order this time, even if there are thousands of troops, Daoshan Oil Pot will also break through. I wonder if the little brother is willing to follow the old man into this sea of swords? ”
Such a frank confession really surprised Li Xin, and he was also surprised to find that Liu Yuliang's old eyes were shining with fine light, which was diametrically opposed to the previous cowardly and incompetent appearance. Li Xin thought that he had seen through this Liu Ge Lao, but after this conversation, whether it was a compliment or a respect, or the aura he exuded, it all faintly showed that this person was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface. This realization made Li Xin and Li Xin immediately put away his contempt.
To tell the truth, he took the risk to lead a team through Anzhou to take Baoding by surprise and cause trouble for Dolgon. But since this Liu Yuliang came with a holy order, it is a major military matter, if he does not arrive in time to Gaoyang, will it cause irreparable losses?
Seeing that Li Xin was silent, Liu Yuliang took a step forward, got closer to Li Xin, and said in a low voice: "The old man came with a holy decree this time, and the emperor intends to revive Sun Ge Lao!" ”
This sentence is really a bombshell, Li Xin's heart is blown up, if Chongzhen can really enable Sun Chengzong again, Daming may not be hopeless, take 10,000 steps back, there is this Daming pillar stone in the cabinet, those who want to turn the clouds and rain in the cabinet have to pick up their wings, lest this Daming be ruined by his own people first.
"Okay, Li Xin will send the elder pavilion to Gaoyang, but how to go, the elder will listen to Li Xin's full arrangement!"
Hearing that Li Xin promised to escort him to Gaoyang, Liu Yuliang smiled and said, "I am all up to the little brother's arrangement!" ”
Wang Pu suddenly interrupted the two of them, "Elder Ge, Lord Xiong has been rescued." ”
Liu Yuliang heard that Xiong Kaiyuan was not dead, and Teng suddenly came to Wang Pu.
"What about people? How did you get back? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rough voice howl.
"Ge Lao, I thought I couldn't see you, Ge Lao, ......"
It is Xiong Kaiyuan, it is true that he is crying on his face, this road is really nine deaths, he has never been frightened or suffered this crime in his life, but he is secretly scolding in his heart, the old fox, he can get out and still watch himself go to a dead end.
Liu Yuliang first stepped forward up and down, looked Xiong Kaiyuan carefully left and right, and saw that he had all his beards and tails, not hurt in the slightest, and squeezed out a few tears from his dry old eyes.
"I thought I wouldn't see Xuannian again in this life, but I didn't expect it, come, tell me how I got out of danger along the way."
But he secretly couldn't help sneering, you didn't care about me at the beginning, and you didn't suffer retribution.
Liu Yuliang pulled Xiong Kaiyuan like an old friend for many years, the old and the young had their own ghosts, and chatted about family life on the side.
Liu Yuliang and Xiong Kaiyuan's performances stunned Li Xin, and he could faintly feel that the two of them were incompatible. Lu Jiu quietly gave him a look on the side, and Li Xin said, what is the matter with this Lu Jiu's mystery?
Lu Jiu pulled Li Xin aside, and Li Xin asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?" ”
"Brother Thirteen, look who's coming!"
Lu Jiu pointed in front of him, but a big monk covered in dirt appeared in front of him.
"Jiexiu?"
Li Xin was really surprised, after a night of fighting, and marching dozens of miles to the north, how did this great monk Jiexiu catch up with him, and how could he follow their position so accurately.
Jiexiu shouted the Dharma and said with a smile: "Donor, you and I are really fateful, I didn't expect such a coincidence, but I met again, I don't know where the donor is going?" ”
Li Xincai didn't believe that this was a coincidence, it seemed that his previous report was roughly correct, and there were indeed important ministers who were ambushed, but Li Xin still felt that this great monk was strange, and many things seemed to be unpredictable. And Li Xin has always been a staunch atheist, and he doesn't believe in any unpredictable prophets, gods and strange things.
In everything, there must be something to follow for abnormality, this great monk seems to be very simple, he must have another purpose for approaching himself. However, Li Xingang took over a big job, and he was having a headache about how to send Liu Yuliang to Gaoyang, so he didn't have time to entangle with him, just avoid him. It was with a smile: "Great monk, you and I must not be on the way!" ”
Na Jiexiu also smiled: "Don't be so anxious to make a judgment, why don't you listen to where the poor monk is going first!" ”
After experiencing so many "coincidences" and "prophets", Lu Jiu, who has always been cold, has been completely impressed by this great monk.
"Where is the Master going?"
"Naturally, where you go, the poor monks will go!"
Li Xin was almost angry, how could he meet such a nonsense guy, and said casually: "We are going to Zhuozhou!" ”
Jiexiu stretched out his hand and wiped his greasy fat face, and immediately changed to a pity expression, "It's a pity, the poor monk is going to Gaoyang, I thought I could go together!" ”
Li Xin was stunned by this sentence, his decision to go to Gaoyang was only a moment ago, how did the great monk find out? Li Xin thought he had misheard and asked again.
"Great monk, where did you say you were going?"
"Of course it's Gao Yang, what's the matter, the donor has changed his mind, do you plan to go all the way with the poor monk?"
