Chapter 5: Jun'en (Part I)

In the previous recital to Yang Guang, Qu Tutong had truthfully stated that the good strategy to break the enemy was completely from Li Xu's hands. But at that time, Yang Guang was holding back the fire in his stomach, thinking that the reason why Qu Tutong pulled Li Xu, a young general, to make up the number was just because he knew that the latter was favored by himself, so he wanted to share some responsibilities with him. But now that he has made it clear that he doesn't care about these pasts, Qu Tutong still pushes the credit to Li Xu, and this behavior is a bit weird.

Not only was Yang Guang moved and surprised, but the other ministers of civil and military affairs were also very shocked. Li Xu is a brave general, which everyone has heard. Especially the few people who are close to Yuwenshu have already defined Li Xu's sex in their minds. This lucky little guy favored by His Majesty the Emperor is not only brave and resourceful, but also proud, otherwise Yu Wenshu would not have let go of his status as a dignified prince and couldn't get along with his little countryman. Suddenly, hearing Qu Tutong's words, everyone's views couldn't be reversed immediately for a while, and their eyes looked directly at Xuzi, who was flushed, as if ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum had grown on his face.

"Before General Li Lang joined forces with Weichen, he and General Yun Dingxing had joined forces to relieve the siege of Laoxian. Ashina Gu Toru led the army to conquer, but was forced to retreat by their force. This is the later expedient measure! Qu Tutong didn't know what Yang Guang's attitude towards the matter of making peace with the enemy in private was finally reciprocated, so he didn't dare to talk too hard. His Majesty the Emperor in front of him has been famous for his hot and cold lately, and today's credit may be tomorrow's guilt.

"Yes, General Li Lang, is what General Qu said true?" Hearing Qu Tutong say this, Yang Guang became more interested, walked to Li Xu's side, stared at his eyes and asked.

"The last general, in order to deceive Ah Envoy Nagu Toru and Shibi Khan's ministers and ministers, did promise him some personal benefits. But I don't need to cut an inch of land in Dasui, and I don't need Your Majesty to give a little gold and silver! Li Xu had already analyzed the pros and cons with Dugu Lin, thought about it, and said the answer that he had been preparing for a long time.

Dugu Lin and Yang Guang are blood relatives, and in the end, they were forced to be depressed all day long by his suspicions. Xuzi is just a duckweed with no roots and no foundation, and he doesn't dare to provoke the slightest suspicion. Fortunately, at this moment, Yang Guang is on the rise, and he has no intention of investigating whether Li Xu's behavior that day is beyond his authority, "Xu will make a promise, an expedient measure." I don't blame you, tell me what benefits you gave him. Is it an official seal, or will it be financial and material support in the future? ”

"This kid is really lucky!" Listening to Yang Guang's words, several civil officials were so jealous that their eyes turned red. Yang Guang's expedient measure is equivalent to defining Li Xu's transgression, and no matter who wants to trouble him in this regard in the future, he must be careful whether he will steal the chicken and lose a handful of old rice.

Just when everyone felt sorry for themselves and regretted why they said that the person who retreated from the tens of thousands of troops was not themselves, the lucky boy in front of him honestly said something that made all the civil and military people speechless, "The last general, the last general couldn't be known to the emperor at that time, so he didn't dare to allow me to have any gold and silver in Dasui, nor did he dare to ask for an official for him." Ashina Gu Toru fell in love with a wolf that the last general had raised since childhood, and the last general promised to give it to him a month after he retired from the army. In addition, his lair is threatened, so, so the peace negotiation is done! ”

"Is there such a thing?" Yang Guang's mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg. A wolf in exchange for tens of thousands of troops to retreat, this is simply the first strange news in ancient and modern times. 'That wolf is definitely not an ordinary thing', between the lightning and the fire, a thought flashed into Yang Guang's heart. 'This boy is my blessed general!' Another thought made him ecstatic.

"It's Your Majesty Hongfu, so General Li Lang can take advantage of the situation to reach an agreement with Ashina Gu Tuolu!" The Yin Shi Master is good at praying and chanting, and he added a sentence very timely. For a while, the civil and military sycophants in the palace were like a tide, praising Yang Guang as the master of the destiny of heaven, and in case of danger, God would arrange a good opportunity to get out of trouble, so that there would be a stupid khan in the opposing camp who was obsessed with phlegm for the sake of the head beast.

Yang Guanglong's face was very happy, and he waved his hand to stop everyone's sycophancy. "It's General Li Lang's luck, why has it become my blessing again!" Turning his head, he said to Li Xu again: "Tell me, what kind of wolf is that, how can it make Gu Toru so confused!" ”

"This agreement with Gu Tuoru can indeed be relied on by His Majesty's Hongfu!" Even if he is no longer good at sycophancy, Li Xu also understands what the tone of today's day is, "Your Majesty Shengming, that wolf is indeed not an ordinary wolf. The whole body is as white as silver, the size of a foal. The Turks believed that the silver wolf was the messenger of the immortal heavens and the sacred relics of the tribe. That's why I'd rather quit the army and get Ganro! ”

"That Ganroke is the name of the silver wolf? Did you bring him into the city? Can you give me a look? How did you get him? Have you been raising it for a long time? Why didn't I see it before? In a happy mood, Yang Guang gradually forgot the majesty of his son of heaven, and asked a series of questions like a naughty boy who had never seen the world.

"Back to Your Majesty, Ganluo is indeed the name of the Silver Wolf. The last general was afraid that it would cause trouble, so he settled it in the barracks. The last general adopted it five years ago, and later left it on the grassland due to some changes. Ashina Bone Tuolu has been pretending to be a ghost with it, and this time he met the last general and directly claimed it back. If he loses the silver wolf, and the nest is destroyed by General Luo Yi, it will be equivalent to the destruction of the entire foundation......." Li Xu looked around and hesitated to explain.

It's been five years, it's been five years. It was the autumn of the sixth year of the Great Cause, and he was forced to go out. It is now the autumn of the eleventh year of the Great Cause, and everything has changed dramatically. Thinking of the pain of having to leave her hometown back then, Xuzi felt gloomy. Everything comes from His Majesty the Emperor in front of him, the miserable situation of the displacement of the people and the glory of his success today, all because of this person. In an instant, he didn't know whether he should be grateful or jealous to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang couldn't feel the ups and downs of Li Xu's mood, and his interest was all focused on Ganluo. "Li Lang will quickly order someone to bring it into the palace, and I also want to see this Turkic holy relic. Why did you leave it on the grassland back then, and how did it fall into the hands of Ashina Bone Tuolu? He chattered about whether it was fair to the other generals.

"Ganluo's temperament is too fierce, if Your Majesty wants to see it, he will train it for a few days to hone its wildness, and then lead it into the palace to face the saint. As for the events of that year, it is really a long story, and the last general will be long-winded, for fear of delaying the business of His Majesty and your lords! Li Xu arched his hand and replied.

Several colleagues met together, drawing the emperor's attention to himself, and it was indeed a little disrespectful to the others. Besides, it's time to use it early at this moment, if you finish talking about the cause and effect, I'm afraid that the emperor and the ministers will be dizzy with hunger.

He was kind enough to think about Yang Guang and the ministers, but everyone didn't appreciate it. A big wolf with silver and white fur is still a sacred relic of the Turks, which is a strange story for many people. Therefore, everyone ignored the order of the court, and said nonsense, "Li Lang will not be a ****, Your Majesty is waiting to hear it." "Listening to you and others tell you how to break through the enemy is the most serious thing. You just say it, Your Majesty is rarely happy! ”

"Come on, come on, let the imperial chef get some breakfast, and bring it to the Golden Palace to eat together. The generals must be hungry too, so I'll eat some snacks with you first, and then set up a wine banquet at noon to celebrate! Yang Guang's gaze swept over the faces of the ministers, and he immediately had a brilliant idea.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet!" Yu Shiji was finally not taken out of the lead by the Yin World Master this time, and thanked him first.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet!" The ministers thanked them excitedly. Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has invited his ministers, some have a luncheon, and some have a dinner, and there is absolutely no early talk. But there are enough anecdotes today, and no one minds one or two more. After a while, the guards in front of the palace temporarily moved more than 20 stools, and invited Qu Tutong, Li Xu, Qin Shubao and others and senior officials above the third rank to sit down. Other officials with lower positions did not have enough stools to use, so Yang Guangda waved his hand and ordered someone to cut some felt, and each courtier was given a piece and sat on the ground.

The people of the Great Sui Dynasty mostly had two meals a day, even if the Son of Heaven and the rich family, breakfast was just some snacks, dried meat, wheat porridge and other things to moisten the stomach. The imperial chef listened to the holy decree from the eunuch and did not dare to slack off. A few large pots of porridge were boiled on the fire, and more than a dozen kinds of Jiangnan snacks were temporarily gathered for Yang Guang and Xiao Hou to eat, as well as refreshing things enshrined in various places, and they were brought into the Golden Palace like flowing water.

Yang Guang was in a happy mood, so he almost had a share in the audience. Even the guards, who had never had the opportunity to eat the royal feast, were given some snacks. Everyone was elated, eating, and waiting for Li Xu to say the following. Yang Guang also made a "Ming Jun" who once again observed the will of the people, and after moving a few chopsticks, he couldn't wait to urge: "General Li, where did you talk about just now?" Where did that silver wolf come from, and how did you get to the prairie again? ”

"At the end of the year, I will buy horses!" Li Xu couldn't shirk it, so he had to start from the beginning. Of course, he didn't dare to say that he was forced to flee his home. Following the routine prepared by Tang Gong Li Yuan back then, he fabricated that he had the heart to serve the country back then, and raised his own funds to buy war horses. Before leaving, he killed a she-wolf and got a white-haired wolf cub. Because it was born against the season, it was named Ganluo in order to get good luck......

These are his personal experiences, except for the reason for the plug that needs to be covered, everything else can be told the truth. Therefore, there is no need to add oil and vinegar, which has already made Yang Guang and the ministers, who have no experience in low-level life, listen to it with relish. At first, he occasionally lowered his head and sipped a spoonful of porridge, but later he simply put down the silver spoon. Some people's mouths are so wide open that they don't even know that the snacks they ate fall out.

When they heard Li Xu say that because of the cold weather, he and Xu Dayan had to stay in Su Si and wait for the snow to melt, everyone sighed that he had to suffer such a catastrophe at such a young age. When he heard Li Xu say that Suotou ridiculed the scout and tried to kill a few teenagers, Lai Hu'er and the others were so angry that they slapped the table, "These taunts, aren't their hearts long?" Even children are not spared! ”

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Look at those Turkic wolf rides, they kill people without blinking! The ministers, who had enough knowledge of the cruelty of the Turks, shook their heads and commented.

"They are also forced to survive. The grassland talks about the rules of the wolf pack, the strong live, and the weak die. Li Xu himself didn't think there was anything strange about Suotou's behavior, so he smiled and explained in a low voice.

"This is due to the lack of saintly education!" Kong Yingda shook her head with a scumbag on her face.

This sentence is not wrong, everyone smiled, didn't bother with him, and then listened to Li Xu tell the story. "The Su Sibu also uses the silver wolf as a sacred relic, so they take the opportunity to dominate the grassland. Xu Dayan used the method of the Central Plains to help him train soldiers for a winter, and in the spring of the second year, everyone entered Suo Touxi's camp and completely wiped out this tribe on the grassland! Li Xu said flatly, and a chill ran under the feet of several Wenchen.

This is the behavior of the steppe people, and the loser has no chance of survival. If this time the Raiders drove straight into .......? In the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty, the civil and military officials were more or less of Hu blood. But after all, he has been in the Central Plains for a long time, and he is no different from the Han people in his bones, and he can no longer agree with the actions of the Xianbei people back then.

"At the beginning of autumn, enough horses were acquired, and the last general returned south with Xu Dayan. Su Sibu refused to let Ganluo go, and the last general didn't have the strength to fight with them, so he had to leave it there! Li Xu quietly lied and passed through many twists and turns.

"That Su Sibu Ai Jin is not a hero in my eyes. No matter which one you or Xu Dayan stays, the effect is far greater than that of Ganluo. This idiot doesn't want to put two generals, and he actually leaves a beast, which is really short-sighted! Yang Guang rarely sobered up, and slapped the royal case with his fingers.

"Long live is the son of the Holy Heaven, of course, the knowledge is a hundred times greater than that tribe!" Yu Shiji took the lead in greeting. completely forgot Yang Guang's rude move to put Qu Tutong and the others aside as soon as he heard Gan Luo just now.

"Your Majesty is not only holy, but blessed! Otherwise, God would not have laid out the chess piece of Ganluo five years ago! "After the Yin Shishi was unwilling, he also linked the appearance of Ganluo with Yang Guang's Hongfu.

"How did Ganluo get into the hands of Gu Toru later, General Li continued?" Yang Guang smiled and continued to ask.

"I don't know what happened later. After leaving the Su Si Ministry, the minister went to Liaodong. Then His Majesty appreciated it, and he became a general step by step from the brigade rate. When the minister heard that Susi's daughter was married to Ashina Gutoru, it must have been that Ganro followed her to Gutoru's side. This time, the two armies met in front of the formation, and they were just snatched back by the last general! Li Xu thought about it and replied with a smile. At the same time, a faint sadness and a faint happiness intertwined welled up from the bottom of my heart, spiraling and rising, until the corners of my eyes and eyebrows.
