Seeing that Li Shimin, Dugu Lin and Xu Zi's eyes were all attracted by him, Murong Luo's heart couldn't help but be a little nervous. "Dang, many brothers in the Xiongwu Camp back then, in fact, actually admired General Li very much! Now that the general has been able to open a government office, why don't he call some brothers to come and help? They are willing to go for the sake of General Li, but they are willing to go in the wind and fire! A few days ago, he risked his life to expose the Yuwen family's theft and sale of military rations, just so that the general could return to the Xiongwu camp! ”

"Brother Murong, please be more detailed! What the hell is going on with the theft of the ledger? Li Xu was taken aback and asked eagerly. In recent days, he has also heard a little about the revelation that Yuwen's family was stealing and selling military rations. It was rumored in the army that on the same night that King Qin's soldiers and horses were chasing and killing the Turks, several low-ranking officers of the Xiongwu Battalion stole the account books of the Yuwen family's transactions with the Turks and sent them to Yang Guang at the risk of death. This move happened suddenly, and almost caused a fire between the Xiongwu Battalion and the Royal Forest Army. It was thanks to the Yu scribe and the righteous destruction of his relatives that a disaster was prevented. And the Yuwen family was also preserved because of Shiji's performance, except for Hua and Zhihe, who were demoted to domestic slaves, the overall strength was not affected in any way.

Murong Luo glanced at Li Shimin again, and saw a strong color of encouragement in the other party's gaze. He calmed down his emotions and continued: "Back then, General Li was forced away by the old thief Yuwenshu, and everyone was very dissatisfied, but the general himself didn't want to make trouble, so we could only endure it. A few days after the general left, the Yuwen family began to install private individuals in the Xiongwu camp on a large scale. Those newcomers are not good at what they do, but they are very domineering. Yuwen Shi and the general tried their best to treat all the brothers equally, but after all, his surname was Yuwen, and it was difficult for him to handle things evenly. The brothers couldn't stand the bullying of the Yuwen family, so some of them looked for a way out. There is really no way out, so I look forward to General Li's return every day to stand out for everyone! ”

"It was I who acted recklessly back then, and I caused everyone!" Li Xu poured himself a glass of wine and said apologetically. The reason why he left without any struggle back then was because he did have a handle in Yuwenshu's hands, and even if he struggled, he was powerless to change the outcome of being swept away. The second is because he can't stand Zhang Xiu's betrayal. If even those who have benefited the most from him and are closest to him are betrayed, he does not know how many of the remaining brothers are willing to join him!

"I don't mean to blame the general. The strength of the general back then really couldn't compete with the old thief Yuwenshu. Murong Luo shook his head and continued. People are very realistic, if it weren't for the oppression of the Yuwen family that they have endured over the years, it is estimated that many people would not remember Li Xu's benefits. "If I had been in the position of general back then, I might have ended up even worse. The remaining brothers and the Yuwen family have a deeper and deeper grudge, but they can't find a chance to take revenge. And when it was discovered that the Turks were retreating, it was rumored in the army that the emperor was ready to break his promise and not fulfill the promise he made to motivate everyone to defend the city! ”

That's not a rumor, it's a fact! Several people who had participated in the court meeting had wry smiles on their faces. Yang Guang and the ministers did not care about the long-term consequences of breaking their promises. Or rather, they care, but they can't care about it.

"Someone suggested that if General Li was allowed to come back, everyone would definitely not be deceived as repeatedly as they are now. Someone thought of a way, that is, to tell the heavens about the sale of military rations by Yuwen's family. Seven catties that night, Da Niu and Wu Yan and a few of them sneaked in with more than 50 brothers to steal the account book from the Imperial Forest Army, and when they came out, they were discovered by Yu Wenhua's cronies, and chased them all the way to the gate of the palace. Qin Xingshi led the team to rescue and couldn't do it, and watched the brothers fall under Yu Wenhua and the knife one after another! The brothers went to fifty-three people, and only two came back alive, Da Niu and Zhao Ziming. And both of them were seriously injured and are still unconscious. ”

Murong Luo's eyes were slightly red, and his fists were clenched. More than fifty lives, including three captains, a soldier Cao, and one joined the army, but in the end, they only returned to the ending of Yu Wenhua and his brothers being relegated to go home. Selling military rations privately and colluding with foreign criminals, if ordinary people committed these crimes, I am afraid that they would have already been punished by the three clans. The Yuwen family committed it, but they were able to do it unharmed.

This is the Great Sui court, and the slightest mistake of the common people is an unforgivable crime. And even if officials and children of families kill people and betray the country, it is understandable. Li Xu felt that his heart was clogged, as if a puff of smoke was choked in his throat. He took another glass of wine and poured it into his mouth, feeling the hot taste as he forcibly suppressed his anger.

He is already a champion general and a feudal official. He must restrain his emotions and keep a clear mind. "Brother Murong suggested that I dig up all the brothers in the Xiongwu Camp back then? What measures can I take to get everyone over smoothly and not be deliberately criticized by some people? ”

"In the past few years, our old brothers have been able to walk and scatter, and there are not many people left in the Xiongwu camp. A lot died in vain that night, and among the remaining officers, there were only a dozen who did not belong to the Yuwen family. Since Your Majesty has made you the champion general, you choose a few staff members from the old department, and it is estimated that no one will be able to say any gossip! Murong Luo paused and replied without hesitation.

"The Yuwen family has just suffered a heavy blow, and at this moment, you are leaving from the Xiongwu Battalion, and Yuwen Shi will definitely not leave a few low-level officers at the risk of falling out with you. Moreover, these people are gone, and there is no lack of benefit for his Yuwen family's complete control of the Xiongwu camp. Dugu Lin looked at the problem from a different angle than Murong Luo, and the answers he gave were more satisfactory to Li Xu. After thinking about it, he said with a wry smile, "If you want, you can even pull some soldiers from the Xiongwu camp to leave." Although Yu Wenhua and his brothers were not executed, in a short period of time, His Majesty would not be willing to see the power of the Yuwen family too large! As for how long the Yuwen family has been left out in the cold, I can't guarantee it. If you go too far, the old thief will take the initiative to trouble you after he breathes a sigh of relief! ”

"Yu Wenhua and the Chinese army in charge of the six armies of the Son of Heaven, Yu Wenshi and the Xiongwu battalion, the two brothers almost include all the soldiers in Yanmen City. That's why Your Majesty is not at ease, and asks you to take the Fenyang Army to protect him under the pretext of leaving Brother Zhongjian to question. Brother Zhong Jian can send someone to pick up the two seriously injured old subordinates first. Then he wrote a recital to Yang Guang in the name of the two of them, saying that after this incident, the two of them felt that it was difficult to face Yu Wenshi. Your Majesty will definitely push the boat with the merits of the two of them! Li Shimin calmly added on the side. As for the revenge of the Yuwen family, he didn't think it was worth considering, "The old thief of Yuwen Shu is different from Pei Ju and others, this person has always wanted to get rid of you as soon as possible, no matter whether you continue to offend him or not, the grudge between the two sides is already so deep, he will not let you feel comfortable!" ”

The enemy of your enemy is your ally. Xuzi understands that Li Shimin's suggestion is not selfish. The six counties he was about to control were closely related to the Hedong Province under Li Yuan's rule, and the two sides should indeed be allies in advance and retreat together. Thinking of this, Xu Zi smiled and said frankly: "According to the words of your brothers, I will immediately arrange someone to do it." But there are some specific things that have to be done by Brother Murong on his behalf. After all, I am new to the Fenyang Army, and I may not be able to get out of my body for a while......"

"Willing to run for General Lee!" Murong Luo straightened up and saluted with his crossed hands. He was very happy to be able to repay his boss back then.

"Brother Murong is wrong, I asked Brother Murong to do something, and I should give you a gift!" Xuzi deflected half a step away and returned half a hand. Then, he turned his gaze to Li Shimin and asked with a smile: "Shimin, if I borrow your people, I won't cause trouble to Tang Gong, right?" ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. They are the generals of our Li family, and Brother Zhong Jian's orders are naturally equivalent to the orders of the Li family! Li Shimin smiled and gave a very smart answer. Besides, everyone is friends, and they do each other a little favor, and they know what to do so well! ”

"What a Li Er of the Tang Mansion!" Dugu Lin's eyes lit up, and a smile instantly filled his knife-like face. In his opinion, Murong Luo should have been angry with Li Shimin long ago before persuading Li Xu to recruit the old department. And the reason why Li Shimin brought Murong Luo to the banquet is probably closely related to the affairs of the Xiongwu camp. In addition to friendship, I am afraid that there are many naked entanglements of interests behind this move. What is rare is that Li Shimin arranged everything without leaving a trace, and gave people the feeling that he was sincerely helping Li Xu without asking for anything in return.

He wasn't going to tear this layer of window paper, and in this chaotic situation, even a hint of superficial warmth was precious. Li Xu is not a fool, and he should be able to perceive Li Shimin's behind-the-scenes arrangements in the end. Fundamentally speaking, these arrangements are beneficial and harmless to the Fenyang Army.

The most critical point is that this move can greatly weaken the power of the Yuwen family. For Dugu Lin himself, the power of the Yuwen family is smaller, and the court he defends is safer.

"! Great idea for Governor Murong! Smiling, Dugu Lin raised the wine cup in front of him.

Everyone responded and continued to drink heartily. Talking about some military anecdotes, anecdotes about the court, I don't feel half drunk. Seeing that it was not too early, Li Shimin and the others got up to say goodbye. Qin Shubao also woke up Luo Shixin from the tent and went out of the camp with everyone.

"It's been a long time since I've been so drunk. If there is any immorality after drinking, please take care of one or two! "Luo Shixin gets drunk fast and wakes up quickly. Jumped on the back of the horse and salivated to the crowd.

"It's okay, who hasn't been drunk yet!" Li Xu knew that there would not be many opportunities for everyone to drink together in the future, so he smiled and comforted.

"In the future, there are some things that everyone tries not to say in front of me!" Dugu Lin suddenly raised his face and said a word. Then he took the reins of the horse, and "of, of, of" ran out. The cold autumn wind blew his white silk robe, and from behind, it looked like a pile of unmelted residual snow.
