Volume 7 Getaway Chapter 7 Prosperity (Part I)

"This Tang prince really has some vision!" Seeing that Li Jiancheng always described Shangguan Bi intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Jizhen secretly laughed in his heart. "It's a pity that my sister is a wild horse, and if you want to get close to her, you will have your own hardships!"

A gust of wind is nominally under Liu Jizhen's command, but in fact the internal structure is very complicated. Subdivided, more than 6,000 people can divide more than 30 locks. There are only more than 500 big dreadlocks, and less than 100 small ones. These people usually make their own money and rarely communicate. When we encounter difficulties that we can't solve, we will gather together to face them together.

In addition, the leaders of the locks are not all Han Chinese. There are Turks, Xianbei people, Xi people, and Huns, anyway, after becoming horse thieves, everyone broke away from their original tribes. Due to the mixing of various ethnic groups, the customs of horse thieves such as weddings and funerals are also different from those of the Central Plains and the grasslands. Basically, there are many people of that nationality in the silk, which is similar to which nationality, and it is also influenced by other ethnic groups.

A Xianbei surname like Shangguan Bi, although he speaks fluent Central Plains dialect and can even familiarize himself with the classics of the Han family, some rules in his clan are a little unbearable even for Liu Jizhen's temperament that he is not afraid of the sky and the earth. So I knew that Li Jiancheng was surprised at first sight, but he didn't say anything, and waited to see the other party suffer.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Xu set up wine outside his handsome tent to entertain heroes from all walks of life. Because he was the main general of the public push, he sat in the right seat. Li Jiancheng matched the prime minister on the upper left, and then Chen Yanshou, Zhang Jiang, Fang Yannian, Lei Yongji and others lined up all the way according to their current official positions. The position on the right side is all reserved for the heroes who came to help. Everyone was a prince, and no one could control anyone, so they gave in for a long time, and finally sat down in order of age under Xie Yingdeng's suggestion.

Due to the scarcity of talents, Li Xu's Chinese military tent has never been so lively. This time, it was packed. Almost every hero from all walks of life brought several henchmen and generals, looking heroic and energetic.

"I have so many heroes in the Central Plains, and I am still afraid that he will be deceived by the Turks?" Li Jiancheng was happy to see it and raised his lamp to congratulate him. "General He Li, I wish the general to lead everyone and break the thieves in one battle!"

"General He!" Everyone raised their lamps at the same time, "Lead me to wait for a battle to break the thief!" ”

"Thieves in the First Battle!" Li Xu picked up the wine cup with both hands, raised his eyebrows, and drank it all in one gulp. Then the wine cup was turned horizontally, and the bottom of the cup was lit up to everyone, and then it was straightened and slowly put down.

"Broken thief!" The generals and heroes learned from each other's appearances, raised their glasses, drank wine, and then put down the wine glasses and sat upright.

"With your help, Li will definitely not ask the wolf to ride across Yanshan! Please drink this wine and join hands to kill the enemy in the future! Li Xu raised the second glass of wine and greeted everyone.

"Don't call the wolf to ride across Yan Mountain!" Chen Yanshou took the lead, and the generals and heroes responded violently.

After three rounds, everyone reached the realm of dazzled familiarity. The pride began to rise above his head with the strength of the wine. Among the heroes here, many of them have never dealt with the wolf riders, and although they glanced at the Great Wall from a distance in the morning, they did not feel that the other party had much ability. It's just that there are more people, and the armor and weapons are neater. In terms of armor and weapons, who can compare to the soldiers of the thirty thousand provinces of the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Great Sui. 300,000 soldiers have been unable to attack a Liaodong city for a long time, and with the Great Wall, isn't Gu Tulu still waiting for the feather to return?

"Easier said than done. But the Ashina family has been able to dominate the grassland for many years, so they naturally have some real skills! Liu Jizhen listened to a few big leaders from Shi Jiajun's words lightly, and reminded with some dissatisfaction.

"There must be no tiger in the mountains!" Several cottage leaders were obviously a little drunk, ignoring Liu Jizhen's feeling that he was chased into the Great Wall from outside the Great Wall.

"There are no tigers on the grassland, but there are blue wolves!" Ma Erbao, the leader of the storm sitting next to Liu Jizhen, frowned and said coldly. "But in front of the wolves, any beast must be avoided."

"That's not true, during the day, the five blue wolves didn't dare to help General Li!" Yan Mingfu, the leader of the Shi Jiajun, pouted.

Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Zhou Daniu, who was sitting a few feet behind them, hurriedly stepped forward to mediate. "Don't be in a hurry, several generals. Let's just drink today. When you arrive on the battlefield tomorrow, stretch out your hand and know the enemy's pounds! ”

"Yes, just drink today. Tomorrow the wine will wake up, and the two armies will see the real thing in front of the formation! "Where did the horse thief in the midst of a gust of wind receive such a breath, holding up a wine cup and shouting.

"Drink, it's a gentleman, see you on the battlefield!" The generals of the Shi family army couldn't help but give face to Zhou Daniu, who had just defeated the enemy generals single-handedly, and muttered while drinking.

The two sides put aside the battle of words for the time being, but they both held back the thought of going to the battlefield to get this breath back, so the more they drank, the more momentum grew. I can't wait to treat wine as an enemy, and compare the high and low first. The elder Shi Chen Yanshou noticed it in private and did not interfere.

After the banquet, the sky was already dark, and Li Xu and Jiancheng sent the heroes back to rest. Then he sent someone to invite Xie Yingdeng to his residence and held another small banquet. Li Ying'er came out to meet Xie Yingdeng as the hostess, toasted a glass of wine, and then retreated under the pretext that there was something at home, leaving the space for the two brothers to talk about it.

"Why did you come so quickly, I calculated that it would take at least half a month for the military rations sent by Mao Gong to reach the Great Wall?!" Li Xu filled the wine cup in front of the two parties with wine, and then asked with a smile.

In order to avoid Luo Yi from robbing halfway, he once sent a sentry to pick up the grain and grass from Liyang. Now the person who answered did not come back, but Xie Yingdeng came back first, and this result was really unexpected.

"It's very simple, I went directly from the canal to Jixian, and then went north along the Sanggan River to Huairongbei! Almost all of them are waterways, and although the boat travels slowly, it is better than carrying it on the shoulder! Xie Yingdeng smiled mysteriously and replied while drinking.

"Waterway!" Li Xu's body shook when he heard this, and it took a long time to come to his senses. "Could it be that Luo Yi let you come? How could he let you come? ”

In the last time the two sides clashed, the young general of the Youzhou Army was beheaded in half by Li Xuzhen. Therefore, the old generals in the Tiger Ben Iron Cavalry all hate the Boling Army to the bone. Just five days earlier, the brothers on the hill had reported that the Youzhou army in Juyongguan had been increasing again. The decisive battle with Gu Tuolu is imminent, Luo Yi does not copy the back road of the Boling army, Li Xu already feels lucky, how dare he expect the other party to make way for him to come out? !

"Waterways, of course. I have in my hand the customs clearance document written by Luo Cheng, the young leader of the Youzhou Army, and I am escorted by Shi Derui, Han Jianhong, and Wang Cong. If Luo Yi doesn't let me pass safely, it means that he will offend Hebei Qunxiong at the same time. After that, whether anyone in the Wagang army would trouble Luo Cheng, he couldn't predict! Xie Yingdeng drank a glass of wine, his face full of pride.

He said happily, but Li Xu was even more confused when he heard it. After Luo Cheng defeated himself, he went south in a negative mood, and the Boling Army almost secretly escorted the proud young man to leave. Judging from the situation at that time, Luo Cheng couldn't get out of the way, and after he made his fortune, he would definitely bring the troops back to be ashamed. How could he beg for favors from his father for Boling Jun regardless of his previous suspicions?

"You don't have to thank him. It stands to reason that he needs to thank you. The grudge between you has been settled! Xie Yingdeng stretched out two fingers and shook them gently in front of Li Xu. He snatched your wife who didn't pass through the door, and he felt that he was at a loss. When I came to Liyang to look for me, I happened to see me preparing a grain ship. So I quietly wrote a customs clearance document to me, and gave me a jade pendant as a token! ”

"My wife?" Li Xu looked at Xie Yingdeng hard to make sure that the other party was not drunk. Qi'er is in the back house, and the second girl has passed away for many years. Anyone else who could be called his wife didn't exist at all? Where is Luo Cheng going to rob it?

"It's the princess of Xiangguo." Xie Yingdeng saw that Li Xu's forehead was about to start to smoke, shrugged his shoulders, and gave an answer. Luo Cheng led the troops to copy Wang Shichong's back road, but saw a group of people running around a woman on the way. He thought that the robbers had robbed, so he snatched the woman out of righteousness. After asking, I learned that the woman didn't want to marry Wang Shichong's son, so she ran away from marriage. And the person who pursued her was Wang Shichong's personal soldiers! ”

It's getting messy! Li Xu knew that Wang Shichong was responsible for escorting Yang Ji'er north, but he found an excuse to stay in Henan halfway. But he didn't expect that Wang Shichong was so bold that he could ignore Yang Guang's will and force his son to marry the princess as his wife. If this is really the case, presumably the control of Yang Guang's courtiers is even weaker. It turned out that his orders could still be carried out near Jiangdu, but now, I'm afraid it's difficult to say whether he can get out of the palace.

"Luo Cheng's kid is handsome and chic. Princess Xiangguo didn't say who she was, so the more the two looked at each other, the more pleasing they became, and they became relatives in a daze. Later, Luo Cheng took the princess to meet with everyone, but the princess refused to toast Li Mi. It embarrassed both sides. Someone who inquired carefully understood that Luo Cheng had become a horse master in a daze! ”

"In this way, it will save her from being displaced!" Li Xu finally figured out the cause and effect, and said with emotion. He had never met the princess, so he didn't have any feelings, and he didn't stupidly feel that he was being cuckolded. But according to his understanding of Li Mi, Yang Jier will not be able to step down for Li Mi in public, and the latter will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate. What's more, after Luo Cheng had the dual identity of a concubine and the son of the chief manager of Youzhou, his status has increased sharply, and he has threatened the "throne" of Li Mi's big boss.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "General Luo Shao secretly threaded a needle between me and his father, aren't you afraid that Li Mi will trouble him?" As for Luo Yi, he listened to his son's words so easily! ”

Luo Yi didn't want to offend too many people at the same time, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his son. What's more important is that there is a lot of controversy within the Youzhou Army about your resistance to the Turks. When I passed through Jixian County, Luo Yi himself was undecided. So I did a favor and put a grain boat on the way! As for Li Mi, he doesn't know the situation yet. After knowing it, I can't help it! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Xu asked in surprise. During the day, Xie Yingdeng said that he would never return to Wagang, which had already made him vaguely guess that there must have been another big change in the Wagang army. Coupled with the matter of Luo Chengxiu's book, it can be expected that the problems faced by the Wagang Army will definitely be much more serious than everyone imagined.

At the mention of Wagang, the smile on Xie Yingdeng's face slowly disappeared. He sighed first, and then drank a few large glasses of wine, wanting to speak, but he didn't know where to bring it up. After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Wagang? Since the death of Zhai Da's family, where is there still Wagang. It's not that Master Li is carrying a furnace of incense to respond to the story inside. Seeing that the smoke is very strong, when the gust of wind comes, it will disperse! ”

"How so?" Li Xu couldn't help frowning when he heard Xie Yingdeng say something bizarre. Li Mi's killing of Zhai Rang will inevitably affect the internal unity of Wagang. However, as a big lock that has been crisscrossing Henan for many years and has repeatedly beaten the officers and soldiers to the point of losing their armor, the Wagang Army is not something that can be defeated in a short time. But according to Xie Yingdeng, it has become an empty shelf at the moment, and as long as someone pushes it, it will collapse to the ground.

Li Xu doesn't want to care about the safety of others, if the Wagang Army is really finished, what will happen to the future of Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, and Xu Maogong? Especially Qin Shubao, he is almost fifty years old, and he was finally appreciated by Li Mi and was given the official position of an internal security general, Wagang Mountain has fallen, and Qi County can't be returned, where is he going to go?

"It's not that I've been fooled by Master Li!" Xie Yingdeng took another sip of wine and said stupidly, "Back then, you said that Li Mi was a vain person, and everyone still didn't believe it. After all, you are an official soldier, and we are bandits. What you say may not be well-intentioned. But who knows, this person is not only vain, but also narrow-minded. Zhai Da Boss gave up his position, but he cut Zhai Da Boss from behind for a few nonsense words for irrelevant people! ”

"I've heard about this, and I thought Mao Gong also died in the hands of that guy. God has eyes, and Mao has a great life! Li Xu also took a sip of wine and sighed.

"It's not that Mao's fortune is great, it's that the people of the brothers outside are coming quickly. If you don't kill with one knife, if you make up the second knife in public, you will definitely be angry! Xie Yingdeng pouted in anger. He killed Zhai Da Dang. slashed Xu Er's master. Shan Xiongxin, who is strongly pressed. It's a shame that our people used to treat him as a real son. If the true son of heaven is this virtue, it is better to follow Yang Guang at the beginning. I don't have to worry about getting a black knife! ”

"Your Majesty is indeed willing to treat others with a bare heart. The premise is that you must be regarded as a confidant by him. The internal affairs of the Great Sui Dynasty are not simpler than cottages. Sometimes His Majesty can't do anything. Back then, I always felt that as long as there was no faint king in the court, the people would have a better life. Later, I learned that it is useless for the person in charge to not faint alone! We have to find a way to make everyone dare not mess around unscrupulously! Li Xu thought about it and commented on his personal experience as an example.

"That's true. I think that when Li Mi first went to Wagang, he was also a man with his tail between his legs. It was the brothers themselves who had to lift him above their heads, and when they lifted him up, he revealed his true nature! It's me who waits for myself to put a knife on the back of my neck, no wonder others! Xie Yingdeng was disappointed and sad again, a glass of wine poured into his stomach, and a sigh came out of his throat.

He was not yet twenty years old, and he had gray hair on his sideburns. It must have been too worried and hurt the blood. After pouring himself several glasses of wine one after another, Xie Yingdeng grinned and continued: "If he kills Zhai Da's master, after taking over the power, he can take everyone on the right path." At most, it is said that he has a loss in his private festival, and there is no fault in major matters. Unexpectedly, within a few days of that incident, he took advantage of Cheng Zhijie's lack of opportunity to lead the troops to fight outside and did not have the opportunity to come back, so he transferred all the positions up and down Wagang. When Cheng Zhijie heard the news and rushed back, the cottage was no longer a cottage. It is completely in accordance with the set of the Great Sui official mansion, and even the specifications of the Wei Mansion in Kim Yong City are repaired according to the palace in Luoyang. Cheng Zhijie asked him why he did this, and he said that it was to give everyone a façade and not let the heroes of the world look down on him. If you can convince the heroes of the world by building the palace, this generation should not be Daqin! ”

"It's not as good as Your Majesty!" Li Xu pursed his lips and sneered. Although Yang Guang dug the canal, the people were tired. However, the opening of the canal was mainly for the purpose of transporting grain and grass materials to the northern front, not just for the sake of expansion. And Li Mi has just settled in Henan, and he hasn't even gotten it yet, so he has begun to squander it.

"We talk about it in private. But everyone's military power has been taken over by Li Mi, and no one can speak hard! Xie Yingden continued to shake his head and smile bitterly. He refused to trust Wagang's original brothers, and there were not a few of his subordinates who could fight, so he was forced by Wang Shichong to retreat. Later, even Chai Xiaohe, Zheng Detao, and Yang Defang, who were all killed in battle, had to go into battle in person! ”

"Isn't that even more a loss?" Li Xu has deeply understood Li Mi's "talent" of leading soldiers. encounters the top mediocre talents, with a great name, Li Mi can still fight a beautiful battle. When encountering a step-by-step general, or a master of leading troops, Li Mi will definitely not be able to get back from the other party at all.

"Not really!" Xie Yingdeng smiled bitterly a few times and responded indignantly, "I fought three battles with Wang Shichong and lost twice. boasting is that there are mutual winners and losers, but the family background is getting thinner and thinner. I had to take out the grain from the Luokou warehouse and recruit troops on the spot. recruited soldiers, but they were reluctant to use money to pay military salaries. Mao Gong advised him to take a long-term view and streamline his administration in order to plan for the future. On the contrary, he was annoyed that Mao Gong was troublesome, and under the pretext that Liyang lacked people to guard it, he completely drove Mao Gong out of the main camp. After driving Mao Gong, he was afraid that Cheng Zhijie would make trouble, so he simply asked Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao to be internal security generals, although the official position was high, there was no one! ”

"I'm glad he was able to let Mao Gong out. Li Mi's heart is narrow-minded, far away from him, but safe! Li Xu thought about it and persuaded with a smile. Don't be too sad, Mao Gong is in Liyang, isn't it already enough? ”

"It's not the same. Even if Mao Gong gains a firm foothold in Liyang, Wagang will no longer be able to return to the past. The situation in the world has changed dramatically, and once the opportunity is lost, it cannot be returned. Mao Gong knew this in his heart, so he just continued to hold on, just because he wanted to let everyone have a foothold after they were defeated in the future. ”

Although the goal has always been to exterminate the Wagang group, when he heard that this strong team that once crisscrossed Henan had fallen to such a point, Li Xu still felt a little dazed in his heart. "And where are you going?" Pushing Xie Yingden with his hand, he asked tentatively, "If this battle is won, why don't you stay with me." I'm short of manpower? ”

"You, Brother Zhongjian, do you also want to win the championship?" Xie Yingdeng's drunken eyes were slanted, and he seemed to be smiling.

"After this battle, do you think I still have the capital to fight for the Central Plains?" Li Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "In the past few years, I have spent almost half of my time fighting, and the people have never cultivated. If you are always victorious and undefeated, once you are defeated, you will also have no capital to make a comeback! ”

"Zhong Jian is a lord who loves the people, but he is not a man who can be mixed with the United States. Your temperament, but that ruthless energy! But if you don't come out to clean up the mess, when will the world be in chaos? Xie Yingdeng's fingers stretched forward, almost touching the tip of Li Xu's nose. You know, before I came, word came out that your majesty is dead! Da Sui, the Great Sui, which we keep saying to fight for during the day, actually no longer exists! ”

There was a click, and a thunderclap suddenly sounded in mid-air, causing the entire military camp to shake.
