Chapter 5: The Way Home (7 B)

"At this point, he has nothing left. Most of the generals who could fight were killed in battle, and there were not a few strategists left around them. Even a wreck like Wei Yansi secretly escaped. has neither a military advisor nor a good general, where is he still General Qu's opponent. Yu Wenshu replied with a smile, with a bit of smugness in his voice.

Wei Changsi once served as a scholar in the middle school and was known as a wise man. Yang Xuangan trusted him extremely much, and he had to ask him about almost everything he wanted. Now that even Wei Xuan's heir has abandoned Yang Xuangan, it is obvious that the rebels have been separated. As long as several officers and troops converge in one place, the rebels will inevitably end up in ashes.

"Since he doesn't have the strength to fight, why does he want to stay under Luoyang City and wait for us to meet?" Li Xu stood up, lightly drew a circle on the map with his finger, and asked.

Wei Wensheng's current location is due north of Luoyang, Qu Tutong's department is north-west of Luoyang, and Fan Zigai is in Luoyang City. After the main force of the imperial court broke through Yishui, they covered the past from the southeast, and Yang Xuangan's rebels were the turtles in the urn. Yu Wenshu's combat intentions are very clear, and anyone can see it clearly with a little attention. Yang Xuangan is not a fool, and he will not sit under Luoyang City and wait for the official army to encircle.

In just an instant, Yu Wenshu understood what Li Xu wanted to express. He immediately stood up, took three steps and walked to the parchment map. "General Li has good eyesight, no wonder my son keeps praising you." He praised while repeatedly measuring the place where Li Xu had circled with his fingers. He looked like a loving father praising his son.

"I'm also guessing for a while, I don't know if it's correct!" Li Xu took half a step back and replied modestly. Finally received another face-to-face praise from Yuwenshu, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

"If you were Yang Xuangan, which direction would you flee to!" After a few measurements, Yuwenshu completely recognized Li Xu's idea, turned around, and consulted very solemnly.

"I will break through in reverse and go straight to Chang'an!" Li Xu thought for a while and replied in a low voice. After Li Zixiong broke off at such a great cost, it was obviously not for Yang Xuangan to escape to the mountains to become a bandit. He must want to achieve a greater purpose, which is like making a sale, paying the price, and wanting to get something in return. And the only one worthy of Li Zixiong's sacrifice is Chang'an City. It was the capital of the Great Sui, and most of the defenders were now taken by Wei Wensheng to the vicinity of Luoyang. As long as Yang Xuangan successfully broke through the siege and rushed to Chang'an City before the official army reacted, half of his goal would be achieved. If Yang Xuangan was lucky enough to take Chang'an, the ordnance and grain and grass in the city could quickly increase the combat effectiveness of the rebels to a higher level, and Li Zixiong, who was responsible for attracting the main force of the imperial court, would be worth the harvest even if he paid a big price. Moreover, if the Great Sui Dynasty loses its capital, the world will inevitably be shaken. When the time came, rebellions broke out, and the officials and soldiers could take care of this side but not the other, but let Yang Xuangan get a chance to breathe.

Thinking of this, Li Xu was shocked. Completely gave up his defense against Yu Wenshu, and eagerly suggested: "Just in case, the last general suggested that the old general quickly send a force of troops and horses to bypass the eastern capital and block the rebels' westward advance." At present, the defenders of Chang'an are all near the eastern capital, and once the rebels really jump over the wall......"

"yes, yes, that's going to be a big deal!" Yu Wenshu suddenly laughed secretly, as if he had picked up some big bargain, and his eyes completely narrowed into a line. "Who shall you send? Which army has such speed? ”

"The last general wishes to ......." Li Xu clenched his fists with both hands, and wanted to take the initiative to ask for help. The Xiongwu battalion had an independent cavalry, which quickly bypassed the eastern capital and advanced westward, even if it couldn't block Yang Xuangan's way, it could scare him into not daring to attack Chang'an. Halfway through his words, he suddenly noticed that Yu Wenshu's smile contained something else, it was definitely not a smile that was revealed because he had seen through the enemy's conspiracy, but like an old wolf, he forced the prey that was determined to win into a corner.

"Didn't the old man come to me today to discuss the military situation?" Xuzi suddenly woke up, and the hairs on his back stood up all at once. First, by discussing the military situation, people will relax their vigilance, and then use the things that people are most concerned about as bait to make people completely lose their guard, and then it will definitely be a fatal blow that will leave no trace. The old man is too good at harming people, and he is not his opponent at all.

Just as he was nervous, Xu Zi heard Yu Wenshu say with a faint smile. "Actually, General Xiao Li and the cavalry of the Xiongwu Battalion are the best candidates to intercept and kill the rebels. Long live once promised to kill Yang Xuangan and seal Wanhu. General Li, the old man wants to congratulate you in advance! ”

"The last general doesn't know what the old general means by this! The last general only wanted to eliminate traitors for the country, and he didn't think of personal wealth in advance! Li Xu tried his best to calm himself down and replied.

So far, Yuwenshu has not made a killing move. I can't mess around in front of him. In any case, you have to fight today, otherwise, if you encounter a strong opponent, you will avoid it, and you will never be able to have a place in the Great Sui Army. Xuzi encouraged herself in her heart, raised her head, and built a line of defense with a smile.

Yuwenshu only used a few words to collapse Xuzi's defense. "But let you lead the troops to chase and kill Yang Xuangan alone, the old man is a little worried. I heard that Yang Xuangan's marching master Yang Ji is your mentor, you originally captured him outside Liyang City, but secretly let him go! ”

"How would he know?" Li Xu responded wordlessly, only feeling a stream of sweat dripping down his forehead. No wonder no matter how he promoted his cronies and grasped the military power of the Xiongwu Battalion, Yu Wenshi didn't care. It turned out that their father and son had a one-hit killing strategy hidden in their hands!

Let the disciples of the rebels' cronies lead the troops to hunt down the rebels alone, even if His Majesty the Emperor is here, he will not give me such trust. Li Xu stared at Yu Wenshu, his scalp was fried, the soles of his feet were cold, and there was almost fire in his eyes. Defeated with just one move, he was unwilling to lose, but there was nothing he could do.

If Yuwenshu called his own soldiers to come in at this time, Xuzi knew that he would not dare to resist. The Li family has not produced a single traitor, and he cannot insult the honor of his ancestors. At present, the only thing that can protect himself is the gold medal of exoneration given by the emperor. But the crime of privately releasing the rebel leader is not known to be offset by the gold medal.

"Ahem, you young man. Everything is good, that is, doing things without thinking about the consequences. Seeing that he had completely gained the upper hand, Yuwen Shu turned around with a smile and gently patted the other party's shoulder as he passed by Li Xu. Then I sat down in the chair with ease, and I was satisfied.

The young man in front of him contained the power of fascination. Since the third elder could not use this power, the Yuwen family had to change their original intentions again. Welcome to visit

"Actually, it's a big or small thing. You respect your teacher, and if you receive the grace of a drop of water, you will repay the spring. This quality is very much to the old man's appetite! I like it! Yu Wenshu lifted Erlang's legs, smiling on one side, and showing a murderous intent on the other.

"He wants to make a deal with me!" Xuzi, who was relieved by the sudden blow, understood the implicit meaning of Yuwenshu's words, "He still wants to accept me to serve the Yuwen family." If I obey, I can take the Xiongwu Battalion to hunt down Yang Xuangan and get the title of Marquis of Wanhu! ”

"But what can I give!" Sweating Xuzi, he calculated his own capital, and he found that he actually had nothing. thought that he could control the Xiongwu camp, but as a result, the secret that only a few people knew fell into the hands of Yuwenshu and his son. Now, he felt that he had become the poor boy who had just left Yi County, with nothing but dignity. And dignity can't be sold, you can bow your head to Yuwenshu, but if you bow your head for a long time, you will inevitably become a hunchback.

Yuwen Shu watched with interest the changes in Xuzi's eyes and expression, and he envied such a vivid face and eyes. It seems that I have never had such vivid eyes and faces, even before I had a stroke. He suddenly felt a little unbearable, and felt that he should listen to his son's advice and let the young man in front of him go. But this kind of fleeting kindness was quickly overwhelmed by the interests of the family, and the young man at the moment was in a strong position, if the Yuwen family could not get his loyalty, it would definitely not be left to others. Although he may not be able to become a threat to the Yuwen family in the future, "if people are not used by me, they will be destroyed." This is the principle of the Yuwen family, and it cannot be taken for risk.

Gradually, Yuwenshu saw Xuzi's flustered expression calm down again, as if nothing had happened, and the young man's face was full of smiles again. Although, at the corner of his mouth, Yuwen Shu vaguely saw a wisp of blood.

"Thank you, the old general, for my kindness, I'm just a shallow learner, and it's really useless!" Asahiko stacked a new line of defense with a smile and replied lightly.

"Alas, the old man feels sorry for you!" Yu Wenshu sighed and prepared to order someone to enter the account to solve the problem. The emperor is very fond of this kid in front of him, and he can't kill him. But using a little trick to ruin his reputation seems to be a good deal.

"Yes, the old general did everything possible to protect the last general. But the last general doesn't know what to do, and he ruined his future! Li Xu took off the iron helmet on his head and gently supported it on his right hand. Taking off his helmet and military general's robes, he is no longer a Great Sui official. It's all coming to an end, and it's coming suddenly, but it's not too sad.

Yu Wenshu's face twitched suddenly, he understood the anger contained in Li Xu's words. This kid is laughing at me, Yuwen Jiaen will take revenge! He didn't look at his background, and he dared to ask the Yuwen family for something in return! Yuwen Shu was furious, and he couldn't wait to immediately call the warrior into the tent, and pushed Li Xu out of the gate and beheaded the public. But he didn't dare to do this, and the benefactor who saved him three times was ruined by his own falling into the well. This word spread out without any benefit to the Yuwen family.

He's asking for a lot of money! At the critical moment, Xu Zi used the ability to observe words and colors taught to him by Xu Dayan, and tried to analyze Yuwenshu's eyes and expressions. Half of the face that had been blown by the wind was immobile, and the other half was covered with weakness after the heavy killing. Xuzi saw what the other party wanted, and he decided to make one last deal with the Yuwen family.

"Yang Ji, the head of the rebel army, teaches at the county school, and the county school is a virtuous government founded by His Majesty the Emperor, which benefits more than the last general. What the disciple said is really nonsense! Li Xu looked at Yu Wenshu's eyes and explained slowly. He knew that Yuwenshu would understand what he meant, and the other party was ten times smarter than himself, so he didn't need to say it too directly.

"And in the Battle of Liyang, most of the prisoners of war have already joined the Xiongwu battalion. A few of the first evil fled and those who obeyed the punishment were punished...... Xu Zi ignored Yu Wenshu's increasingly fierce gaze and continued to add. "As for whether there are any gentlemen among the war dead and deserted who are studying in the county school, the last general really hasn't noticed!"

He decided to kill and not admit it, if Yuwenshu didn't care about the family's reputation, although he would investigate to the end and find the soldiers that night to confront him. 'If you have the ability to pay your bills, so will I!' Looking at Yu Wenshu's forehead, which had already sprouted green muscles, Xu Zi decided to pay the price for his rashness, "As for the task of intercepting and killing Yang Xuangan, the last general is actually not the best candidate. The last general was injured in no less than ten places in the three tough battles of Liyang and Tiger Prison, and he was really unable to lead the army for a long-distance attack again! ”

"Oh!" Yu Wenshu let out a sigh of relief, and after completely gaining the upper hand, the prey actually died and bit back, which was indeed a bit unexpected by him. Since the young man in front of him is quite interesting, he will listen to the terms of the transaction proposed by this person for the time being. One is to try to harvest what his family needs, and the other is not to make his son too sad.

"The last general recommended the commander of the Yuwen Supervision Army to the Xiongwu Battalion and intercept Yang Xuangan by a detour. Yuwen Jian Jun has lived up to expectations, and he will be able to convince everyone if he replaces the last general! Li Xu stroked the hairpin on his helmet and bargained with a smile. The Yuwen family's main plot is the military power of the Xiongwu Battalion, and since they are destined to lose it, it is better to hand it over to a relatively trustworthy person. The brothers should have a better time with Yuwen than with the rest of the Yuwen family.

He was glad that he had made some arrangements in advance, otherwise today's failure would have dragged down many brothers around him. Now, it's only the part that belongs to you that you lose. It's a pity to think about, but I don't regret it.

"Yes, yes, Li Lang will work hard, and he should also rest. You go to the Tiger Prison to recuperate, and when Yang Xuangan is calmed down, Your Majesty will definitely give you another reward for meritorious deeds! Yu Wenshu smiled with satisfaction, the young man in front of him was too understanding. If the third child wants to take over the Xiongwu camp smoothly, he really can't arouse public anger. For the sake of the young man's intellectual interest, let him lead the vacant job and leisure. Anyway, the Great Sui Dynasty can't make up for the shortage of generals, as long as there are no soldiers in his hands, he is not afraid of any storms.

"The last general wants to go home and see! By the way, heal the wound! Li Xu had a thought on his mind, and he felt a sense of relief on his shoulders. It's been a long time since he's been home, and he really wants to see what his home has become.

"Go back, go back. Wealth does not return to the hometown, just like the night road of brocade. Do your filial piety by your parents' side, and when the court needs it one day, the old man will have to summon you. Yu Wenshu smiled and advised, as kind as a loyal elder.

It's a really nice result. When a person is young, he is vigorous, and he is exposed to the countryside for a few more years, and when his ambitions are dry, he can't help but not bow his head.
