Chapter 5 Promises (4)

"On that day, I heard that Li Lang would go straight to hang up his crown and bring out a group of brothers who had worked so hard to bring out the boy of the Yuwen family for nothing, and the old man was still indignant for you. I didn't expect you to be a blessing in disguise, not only did you become a family here, but you also looked like you had grown up a lot! After drinking a new round of wine, Laihu'er smiled and praised.

He is already in his sixties this year, so it is not inappropriate to speak to Xuzi in the voice of an elder. Although the relationship between the two is not as close as it appears at this time. And the reason why Li Xu was persecuted by Yuwenshu that day was also very responsible.

Li Xu smiled and raised his glass, his eyes clear and calm. "Yu Wenshi and talent were originally ten times that of mine, and it is reasonable for Xu Guogong to order the juniors to hand over the Xiongwu Battalion to him to be in charge. The younger generation just regretted that he was in a hurry at that time, and he had time to resign to the old general in the future, and he didn't have the opportunity to see the old general exert his power in the Huangtian Plain, breaking the enemy three times in one day! ”

"What a threat, the kid will really make the old man happy. The elite under Yang Xuangan's command is the tens of thousands of people brought by Li Zitong, and the next battle of the Tiger Prison has been cleaned up by you. We caught up later, but it was just picking some soft persimmons and pinching them, and it was not easy to win! Lai Hu'er looked at Li Xu's eyes and said with a smile. The calmness in the other party's eyes surprised him, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be so peaceful when he was the other party's age.

If someone had complimented him like this a year ago, Xuzi would have taken this person as a confidant. But now, by getting along with Zhang Xutuo and others, he has learned to share the honor with all those involved. Sharing benefits leads to sharing dangers. "The old general was too modest, and in the battle of the day, the younger generation was just lucky to pick a big bargain. The command of several veteran generals is the key to the final victory! ”

"Cheap, why don't others have the courage to pick up this kind of cheapness?" Laihu'er loudly denied it. "Do you think it's a big bargain to defeat the enemy army of my right guard and right warrior in one go?" He turned his head and asked Zhou Shaoji. In the actions of his subordinates, he received a negative answer.

"General Zhang, what about Captain Luo, can you imagine how critical the situation was that day?" Laihu'er looked across and continued to ask.

"I don't know, Li Lang will be low-key, and he has never mentioned the specific situation of the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass!" Luo Shixin laughed and coaxed. Zhang Xutuo shook his head slightly. In the more than half a year they have been together, the two of them have never heard Xuzi say the details of the battle of Tiger Prison Pass. Occasionally, everyone verifies with Xuzi based on some rumors, and the other party's answer is always concise and to the point.

Laihu'er had the heart to lift Xuzi today, drank a big sip of wine, and slowly told everyone about the whole process of the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass. There is a way for everyone to carry the sedan chair, Feng Ciming and Zhou Shaoji heard that Hu'er had plans to put gold on Li Xu's face, and they also followed the help of you and me next to you. The three of them added fuel and vinegar, exaggerating the role of the Xiongwu Battalion on the battle situation and Li Xu's bravery tenfold. From the suddenness of Li Zixiong's successive defeats of the Right Wuhou and the Right Imperial Guard, it has been said that the Chinese army of the Great Sui was entangled by the dead soldiers of the other side, and the situation was on the verge of getting out of control. It seems that without Xuzi, the 300,000 troops of the imperial court in the first war of the Tiger Prison Pass would be wiped out. I only heard Zhang and Luo raise their glasses frequently, and they were fascinated, and they couldn't wait to be there and witness the former demeanor of their companions.

Xuzi knew that the distinguished guest tonight deliberately gave himself a long face as the host, so he simply held the wine cup and concentrated on being a listener. It wasn't until Lai Hu'er finished talking about the battle of Tiger Prison Pass and turned the topic to Yuwenshu's father and son's embarrassment and rejection of virtuous talents that he put down his wine glass and stopped with a smile: "It's rare to reunite with the old general today, and there is no need to mention those unhappy things in the past." Besides, if it hadn't been for the mistakes of that day, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to work under General Zhang and get to know so many good brothers!"

He remembered how resentful and hesitant he felt when he had just been driven away from the Xiongwu camp by Yuwen Shu. But now that everything has passed, nearly a year later, and that unhappy memory has been washed away by the years. Now when it comes to the brothers of the Xiongwu Camp, Xuzi remembers more of the friendship between life and death between each other. Even for Zhang Xiu and Yu Wenshi and the two cool guys, he didn't have much jealousy in his heart. I made the mistake of being young and ignorant and not knowing how to guard against it, suffered a loss, and learned to be obedient, which is enough. People can't live in resentment forever, and there is no need to torture themselves with the mistakes of others.

"The kid is almost gone!" Laihu'er peeked at Li Xu's performance, and secretly wondered in his heart. He didn't know that Li Xu was born a little easy-going, so he admired the determination of young people more and more. If someone else suffers the kind of grievance that Li Xu had last year, he will never give up if he does not hold a grudge for ten years or eight years. Among all the young people who came to Hu'er to see, if anyone has ever made the kind of battle exploits that Xuzi did last year, I am afraid that they will have to boast about it at the wine table for a lifetime.

This young man deserves to be wooed by himself. Laihu'er smiled and made a decision in her heart. Li Yuan has a vision, and Yu Wenshu's vision is not bad. But they still look down on the young man, such a character, why should they accept him into the family. Help him at a critical moment, and the reward will be ten times the amount of effort in the future.

He turned his head to Zhang Xutuo, secretly envious of the other party's good luck, and picked a proud arm back out of thin air. But he saw Zhang Xutuo holding up a lamp and laughing, his face full of pride. "That's true, if it weren't for Yuwen Shu's power, how would we not have had a chance to get together here! Come on, come on, and drink this toast, to celebrate God's favor and to be able to get today's joy. ”

"!" Everyone laughed and raised their lamps.

The more I drank, the more I fell in love, and the topic became more and more extensive. From Liaodong to Henan, and from Henan to Luoyang, when Xuzi asked about the recent situation of the Xiongwu camp, Lai Hu'er thought about it and replied: "Their expedition to Liao is not the same as mine, but I have heard that when the army first crossed the Liao River, the Xiongwu camp had defeated the counterattacks of the Goguryeo people several times. Your Majesty praised the bravery of the brothers, and even mentioned you in front of the ministers, saying that if all the generals can manage the army with the same heart as you, Liaodong will be decided! ”

"Your Majesty actually mentioned me?" Li Xu's calm voice finally changed a little, and he asked in surprise. He didn't expect Yang Guang to still remember his name. In his speculation, His Majesty the Emperor, who had a changeable mind, had already forgotten about him as a general, and would not have remembered the promise he had made before ordering him to come to Qi County that day.

"Yes, Your Majesty has a good understanding of you. He once said in front of his ministers that if you weren't busy suppressing bandits and couldn't get out, you would definitely be able to lead the Xiongwu Battalion to establish more achievements! The old general Feng Ciming smiled and provided evidence for Lai Hu'er's words, "The dog is a guard by His Majesty's side, and this matter has been mentioned in the family letter, and I am more than envious!" ”

After listening to Feng Ciming's words, Li Xu felt even more surprised. "But this year's outbreak of banditry was in March, and in the first two months of this year, I didn't receive any orders from the military department at all?"

What must have gone wrong that caused me to miss the last chance to go to Liaodong? Who is so bold as to dare to tell a lie in front of His Majesty, and who dares to fabricate the facts of local banditry? Xuzi's eyes widened, and he asked with his gaze. He found that Zhang Xutuo and Luo Shixin's eyes were also full of surprise, Zhou Shaoji's eyes were very confused, General Feng Ciming's eyes were very hesitant, and the eyes of the old general who came to protect the children were full of anger.

"These silverfish thieves actually dare to bully the king!" The old general, who understood the truth of the matter, gritted his teeth and scolded. Some people didn't want General Li Lang to return to the Inner Army, so they deliberately fabricated a bandit trouble. In this way, the Ministry of War could not give Li Xu an order, and Li Xu, who could not get the imperial court's military order, did not dare to leave Qi County without authorization, and took the initiative to ask for help in front of His Majesty.

"Don't worry about this matter, this time, the old man will definitely tell you the truth clearly in front of His Majesty!" Looking at Li Xu's shocked and shocked face, Laihu'er comforted loudly. "There must be some people who are afraid that you will return to the Xiongwu camp and divide the military power of his family. Some people just can't see others come out, and would rather delay national affairs than take care of their own selfishness! ”

It's Yuwenshu's ghost! Zhang Xutuo turned his gaze to Feng Ciming, and he got a positive answer from the other party's hint. Everyone did not have the same status as Laihu'er, and they did not dare to openly complain for Li Xu, but between their words, they carried a bit of protection for their brothers.

"The old man can't do anything else, how many military exploits you have made, how many good things you have done for the place, but you remember it clearly. I also reported to the court one by one. Here, it may not be as good as you go to the palace to be popular among the soldiers! Zhang Xutuo raised his wine glass and comforted loudly.

"General Li, don't worry, the smoke is everywhere right now, you are in Qi County, you can also serve the court and share your Majesty's worries!" Feng Ciming raised the wine cup and persuaded Li Xu.

"Yes, with Li Lang's talent, how can the future be blocked by a few villains!" Zhou Shaoji also raised a lamp to express sympathy to Li Xu.

A faint warm flow flowed through the bottom of her heart, and Xu Zi knew that everyone cared about her. He smiled and drank the wine in front of him, and while raising the wine cup, he swallowed all the unhappiness he had just expressed. 'The people of the Yuwen family do this just to bother you. He remembered what he had just comforted Laihu'er, and he knew that the only way to deal with it was his own.

"Zhang Tongshou said it well, you are here, and you have made the same contributions." Laihu'er spoke loudly, announcing to almost everyone, "If there is anything you need, you can bring it up, as long as the old man can do it, he will definitely help." The two of us will fight for this breath, and we will never let those who secretly stumble you succeed! ”

"Thank you for the old general!" Li Xu stood up and saluted the child again. When the other party says this, it is tantamount to openly expressing his position. In dealing with the enemy of the Yuwen family together, they are natural allies with each other. Xuzi knew that he didn't have the strength to join forces with Laijia, but in front of him was an excellent opportunity to complete Zhang Xutuo's trust.

"The younger generation is also willing to stay in Qi County to exterminate the surrounding bandits, in order to repay His Majesty's love and the promotion of several generals!" He frowned, and his face showed a little embarrassment, "But the biggest trouble at the moment is that the brothers under his command have no armor staff to use, and every time they are in battle, they rely on blood and courage to support. Let the juniors, who are generals, can't bear to let go, and have no choice but to miss many peace-fighting fighters! ”
