Liu Jurong, who is discerning, of course, will always pay attention to Liu Di's situation, since Liu Di led the tooth army to suppress the bandits, he has been thinking about it, Liu Di returned victoriously, so he was directly recommended as a tooth general, and really controlled the tooth army.
Liu Jurong also has two sons, Liu Fen and Liu Hui, no matter in which aspect, these two sons are not as good as Liu Di, so Liu Jurong tried his best to support Liu Di, but he was promoted for no reason, not only Liu Fen and Liu Hui were not convinced, even if they were soldiers of the Ya Army, they were also unconvinced, which inevitably led to Liu Di having no prestige, this time he went to Bazhou to suppress bandits, it was not a very difficult task, Liu Jurong specially contacted Lu Yanhong, the envoy of Shannan West Dao Jiedu, and sent the Ya Army to Bazhou to suppress bandits, of course Lu Yanhong was happy, People send troops to suppress bandits, and they don't do anything themselves, and they sit back and enjoy their success, what's wrong.
Liu Jurong is still different from those border envoys, and there are more places to be restricted.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Jiedu envoy was divided into four types, namely the Heshuo secession type, the Central Plains defense and containment type, the frontier royal border type and the southeast financial source type, Liu Jurong belonged to the type of the southeast financial source type Jiedu envoy, subject to the imperial court, and wanted to blatantly support his own children, it was not so easy, so Liu Di was needed to establish meritorious service.
Liu Di has not returned to Xiangyang, Liu Jurong knew about the matter, he angrily broke a number of tea bowls, he didn't expect Liu Di to lead the five hundred tooth army to exterminate the local bandits, and was actually taken away by others The horses and weapons were taken away, if this is known by the imperial court, don't go directly to the prison.
After all, Liu Di is his own son, and where he should keep it secret, he still needs to keep it secret, anyway, the imperial court will not pay attention to a small place like Bazhou, and as for the bandits in Wuling County, they will not bother to ask.
Liu Jurong's love was not good, and he was revealed by Cao Quanxi, who came to Xiangyang to assassinate Zizhou and Jiangxi.
On this day, when Liu Jurong went to the official post, he was left by Cao Quanhui to drink.
Cao Quanyang is seven years older than Liu Jurong, and he is already sixty years old, but both of them are the same age, and they have enough depth to see the problem, and they can speak with empathy.
After a few glasses of wine, Cao Quanyang spoke.
"Seeing that Liu Gong was sullen, I don't know what it was for, if I can use a certain place, just open my mouth."
"Alas, it's all a family matter, and I'm a little upset when I think about it, but I'm still grateful to Cao Yuanjun for his concern."
"Liu Gong said this, Liu Gong is similar to a certain age, a certain idiot is a few years older, and he still has a lot of feelings about the things in this family, if Liu Gong can be trusted, a certain help to build yì, I don't know how."
After hesitating for a while, Liu Jurong finally decided to say it, in fact, such a thing, completely trying to hide it, it is almost impossible, there are many people, and it will eventually be spread, but at that time, it will really be difficult to control.
"Don't hide it from Cao Yuanjun, this is a family ugly, it can't be publicized, since Cao Yuanjun asked, I don't want to hide it, when Cao Yuanjun's people passed through Bazhou, they were attacked by bandits, and there were some losses, Wuling County is the location of a certain ancestral home, and if such a thing occurs, a certain must seek justice for Cao Yuanjun."
"Isn't Gong Liu's ancestral home in Xuzhou, how can it involve Bazhou?"
"The ancestor moved from Bazhou to Xuzhou, and he still wanted to be able to find his roots and ask his ancestors, which was all many years ago, so don't mention it."
Cao Quanxi nodded, no longer asked about this matter, and no longer spoke, looking at Liu Jurong.
"A certain and Shannan Xidao Jiedu envoy Lu Gong discussed, decided to send the tooth army to suppress the bandits, one to seek justice for Cao Zhijun, and the other did not want to let the people in his hometown suffer, so half a month ago sent five hundred tooth army, a certain child Liu Di led the tooth army to exterminate the bandits, who knows...... Alas. ”
Cao Quanzhen already understood.
"Liu Gong, whether Zhaolin has suffered heavy losses, and how many casualties there are among the sergeants."
"There were no casualties, only the loss of horses and weapons."
Cao Quanyang gasped, although Liu Jurong's words were simple, but the hidden things behind it are not small, just imagine, all the war horses and weapons have been damaged, and the sergeant alone can come back, which shows that the opponent is extremely strong, at least to capture Liu Di and others alive, it is possible to achieve such a purpose.
This time, Cao Quanyang will not say clichés and compliments.
"Gong Liu, this matter is not good, if it spreads, the damage to Ling Lang will be great, and we still have to find a way to make up for it."
"I am also worried about this matter, I don't know what Cao Yuanjun thinks."
Cao Quanyan pondered for a moment.
"It's not too late to make amends, a certain plan for now, it is still necessary to completely exterminate this bandit, no matter whether the war horse weapons can be recovered, as long as there is a bandit's head, it is easy to say."
"I also thought about it, it must be inappropriate to continue to shoot the teeth army to suppress the bandits, and Lu Gong will also have an opinion, so it will be impossible to exterminate this bandit."
"There is a certain Jianyì, Liu Gong wrote a letter to Lu Gong, imploring Lu Gong to send troops to exterminate this bandit, the corresponding expenses, Liu Gong can fully bear it, and a certain person signed Liu Gong's letter and pleaded, presumably Lu Gong will definitely consider it."
This is also a way out of the question, Liu Jurong nodded and picked up the wine bowl.
"Cao Zhijun cares so much about a certain child, a certain is grateful, he Cao Zhijun has something difficult to do, even if he speaks, he will do his best."
After Liu Di returned to Xiangyang, he seemed to have nothing to do on the surface, and secretly replenished all the horses and weapons in the shortest possible time, but he always had to report to his father about the suppression of bandits, which was a hurdle that he could not overcome.
Seeing Liu Jurong's gloomy expression, Liu Di knew that his father must have known about it, but in fact, it was impossible to hide his father from this matter, because many of the people in the Ya army who went to suppress the bandits together were his father's cronies, or even pro-soldiers.
Before Liu Di could speak, Liu Jurong's cold voice came.
"Kneel down and speak."
Liu Di, who knew that he was at a loss, knelt down obediently.
"The matter of suppressing the bandits, my father knows about it, I was hoping that you can exterminate the bandits and return the place to peace, who knows that it will be such an ending, do you know what the horses and weapons of the sergeants on the battlefield mean."
Seeing Liu Di's dazed and overwhelmed appearance, Liu Jurong became even more angry.
"War horses and weapons mean that the lives of a sergeant must never be lost unless they die in battle."
Liu Di's body began to tremble, and he understood Liu Jurong's words.
"Father, the child is wrong, I beg my father to forgive me and give the child a chance to make amends."
Liu Di's expression made Liu Jurong have a trace of despair in his heart, if Liu Di has a table that washes away his shame with blood, it means that there will still be a future in the future, there are no generals and sergeants who win a hundred battles on the battlefield, they are all broken out step by step.
Sighing slightly, Liu Jurong changed the topic.
"Don't talk about it, for the Father I want to hear from you how you failed and why you got to this situation."
Liu Di has always thought of the opportunity to explain, and through such an explanation, he can also make his own failure, and it seems that there is no way, not completely his own incompetence.
Liu Di began to tell in detail, false and real, all the situation was said very carefully, Yu Chenghui of Guanzhuang Town, was described as a person who specialized in giving bandit ventilation news, because of Yu Chenghui's ventilation report, the whereabouts of the guide zhì army were completely exposed, and bought the foreshadowing for the subsequent failure, Gao Chibang was described as Kunlun slave, everyone knows that Kunlun slave can fly the eaves and walk the wall, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can resist, so Liu Di, who was caught off guard, was captured by the Kunlun slave raid, and Li Rupei, who was described as a sinister and cunning person, Scheming, using the next three indiscriminate means to sneak attack the sergeant, as for the attack on the cottage, at the beginning of the absolute advantage, the bandits who were killed scattered and fled, and they were about to win the final victory, but unfortunately these changes in the end could not be predicted at all, in short, Liu Di was in the story, that is, he did not involve himself, as if failure was a matter of course, and no one could avoid it.
This can't completely blame Liu Di, the vast majority of people are in such a situation, and they want to exonerate themselves from responsibility.
Liu Jurong, who has high hopes for Liu Di, has mixed feelings in his heart, he even feels that he doesn't know this son anymore, the communication between father and son is that he needs to tell the truth, but it's a pity that Liu Di blindly shirks his responsibility, there are many situations, through the description of the pro-soldiers, Liu Jurong already knows some, he has begun to doubt in his mind, there are great characters in the cottage, and they are all designed so accurately, so that after the sergeant is proud, he neglected to take precautions, and finally succeeded in one blow.
It is said that in the poor mountains and remote areas, there should not be such characters, especially the bandit who fought with Liu Di, his skills are not ordinary agility, and he is by no means an ordinary bandit, as for what happened in the Juyi Hall, the personal soldiers are not very clear, they were not able to enter the Juyi Hall, and later they were all executed according to Liu Di's orders. But the pro-soldiers all have a feeling, that is, in the cottage, there is also a bandit with the overall command, this person has only met Liu Di, it should be in the Juyi Hall, otherwise Liu Di would not have given such an order.
Liu Jurong, who is old and sophisticated, has long been a little worried, Liu Di's expedition this time is actually a handle left by himself, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he will be used by people with ulterior motives, so the most important task at present is to completely exterminate the bandits in the cottage, and only by doing this, in the future, if someone talks about Liu Di's banditry, he can calmly defend himself.
But Liu Jurong's inner worries can't be dispelled, what kind of people are there in the cottage, why are they so capable, what is the identity of the young man described by Liu Di as a scheming young man, will it have anything to do with that Li Rupei, if it is really related, it will be a huge trouble.
