Chapter 110: The so-called responsibility
Gu Jiangyuan's army was stationed in Dingzhou for two days, perhaps because of the might of the Shuobei generals, or because he lost a lot of men and horses in the battle with Li Changping under the city of Dingzhou before.
Suppressing bandits is what Li Changping's soldiers should do, Li Changping didn't wake up, and Gu Jiangyuan naturally didn't care. As long as Huang Hao doesn't come down to the mountain to persecute the people, they can still see it.
It was not until the evening of the first day of the Midwinter Lunar New Year that the military doctor came to report that his uncle Li Changping woke up.
When Gu Jiangyuan and Gu Haomian got the news and hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army, they saw Li Changping reclining on the soft pillow behind him, his face was pale and colorless, and he lost his usual majesty.
He raised his eyes and saw Gu Jiangyuan, and his eyes lit up: "Marshal Gu." ”
Gu Jiangyuan nodded, and the guards beside Li Changping retreated.
Just now, Li Changping woke up and had already asked his guards how the battle was going, and he also learned that Gu Jiangyuan and his son were temporarily stationed here.
Gu Jiangyuan groaned, with a sense of concern. Hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Li Changping, who wanted to get up, "Uncle Guo's injury is not light, but don't get up." ”
Li Changping clenched his hands into fists and slammed a punch to the side of the couch, which startled Gu Jiangyuan and Gu Haomian.
But I heard Li Changping say indignantly: "It's all because I am not thoughtful and in a hurry, I have waited for four or five years, why must I rush to kill all these mountain bandits this time!" ”
What he said was that the day before yesterday, he led the army to the mountains to suppress bandits, but he accidentally fell into the matter of Huang Luxury.
This battle seemed to have been stopped by Gu Jiangyuan's arrival, but Li Changping's subordinates still suffered seven or eight thousand casualties, and some people also suffered a lot.
It's all because of Li Changping's thoughtlessness.
Gu Jiangyuan sighed, he was also a general, he could understand his hard work.
"Uncle Guo, don't be angry with yourself, you also have your own troubles, that Huang is extravagant and cunning, the saint will understand."
Hearing the word Shengshang, Li Changping's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly called back the soldiers who were guarding outside the tent.
gave some orders, and did not avoid Gu Jiangyuan's father and son.
"Hurry up and let our spies contact His Highness, and then repair the military report and the Holy Lord."
At that time, Li Changping didn't know that Lu Guitang had caused something in Bianliang City, and if he knew, he would definitely not be so relieved to pass the news of his defeat to the imperial court.
The worst thing is that he has lost his military power, and he will not be dragged down to Lu Guitang for the time being.
After explaining the matter, Li Changping turned his gaze to Gu Jiangyuan again, and opened his mouth to ask deeply: "Marshal Gu, this time you lead the army back to the court, if there is an opportunity, you have to mention the marriage between Ling Ai and King Xian to the Holy Lord." ”
Needless to say, how clear the matter is, Gu Jiangyuan and Li Changping are very clear in their hearts, if Li Changping loses his military power because of Huang Luxury, there will inevitably be an army of 100,000 in Gu Jiangyuan's hands behind Lu Guitang.
Gu Jiangyuan and Gu Haomian glanced at each other, and they both remembered what they had discussed at the foot of Dingzhou Mountain a few days ago.
Gu Jiangyuan nodded: "The situation in the DPRK and China is unknown, after the uncle settles down, the marshal will lead the army back to the DPRK, and I will have a letter to Dingzhou at that time." ”
Li Changping was a little relieved when he heard this, he wanted to raise his hand and clasp his fist in salute, but this move pulled the pain on his body, like the wind and frost of cutting people in Dingzhou City, and the knife went deep into the bone marrow.
……
Bianliang City.
Xianwangfu.
It had been an hour since Lu Guitang entered the palace, and Shang Guyuan was almost a little impatient to wait.
The folding fan in his hand opened and closed and opened, and he said indignantly: "I said that the secret guards in his house are not useful, how long has it been since this happened, and the news has not been sent yet." ”
Gu Jin sat beside her, looking much calmer than Shang Guyuan, and she said lightly: "Otherwise, everyone says that the guards of the Xianwang Mansion are more leisurely than your little prince Shang." ”
Shang Guyuan was choked by these words, and Gu Jin was secretly sarcastic about Lu Guitang treating himself as an old mother.
He Nunu stood up, and his tone was a little impatient: "Then I'll go and see for myself." ”
As soon as these words came out, the voice of the secret guard of the Xianwang Mansion came coldly from outside the door curtain: "It's too late for my subordinates." ”
The secret guard got the urgent report from the teahouse, and rushed back to the Xianwang Mansion non-stop, the horse was fine, but he was about to run and vomit.
Who knew that as soon as he entered the gate of the Xianwang Mansion, he heard the merchant boy talking bad about himself, and he felt a little unfair in his heart, but after looking at Lu Guitang, it seemed that he was indeed not in the mansion...... Is it true that you are too idle on weekdays?
Shang Guyuan didn't care about the secret guards who had returned to the hall, but took the lead in taking the urgent report and reading it with Gu Jin.
"Dingzhou is in turmoil, and Uncle Guo is seriously injured?"
This result is even more cruel than they imagined.
Shang Guyuan should have rushed into the palace to tell Lu Guitang the news, but with this hot letter in his hand, Shang Guyuan suddenly didn't dare to take a step.
He hissed, unable to make up his mind, so he asked Gu Jin again: "Miss Gu, you said this...... Is it a happy event or a bad event? ”
If the Dingzhou bandit disaster really starts, the saint needs someone to fight in Dingzhou to reuse his uncle Li Changping, so that Lu Guitang's danger today can be solved. Can...... Uncle Guo was seriously injured and his military power was unstable, is this still a good thing for Lu Guitang?
Gu Jin took the urgent report, and the eight big characters on the book slightly pierced the girl's heart.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed in the girl's mind, and the answer blurted out, almost only for a moment: "Enter the palace and report to the prince." ”
She knew that Shang Guyuan was not as convincing as Prime Minister Wei Cheng, so she first solved the disaster in Shang Guyuan's heart:
"There is never any difference between a happy event and a bad event, but the chaos in Dingzhou is a happy event for us and a disaster for the people of Dingzhou. Uncle Guo's serious injury is a disaster for us, but it is a happy event for the mountain bandits in Dingzhou. Today's King Xian's responsibility is a disaster for us, but it is a happy event for King Shu's mansion. ”
"Shang Xiaogongzi, he was born in the emperor's family, and he has a responsibility on his shoulders, and now in the current situation, he is blamed for being small, and delaying the military situation is big."
Shang Guyuan was stunned, he had heard many shocking words from Gu Jin, but he didn't expect that there would be such a level of responsibility.
Indeed, as Gu Jin said, the current situation is no longer a matter of whether Lu Guitang will be punished, but whether the Dingzhou mountain bandits will take advantage of Uncle Guo's serious injury to enter the situation.
Li Changping's urgent report to Lu Guitang was faster than the military report sent to the court, at least one day earlier, and they could not guarantee that the people of Dingzhou would be safe or sound on this day.
Gu Jin folded the urgent report and handed it into Shang Guyuan's hands, and when he saw his unbearable look, he was relieved again:
"In this way, you go into the palace and hand it over to His Highness, and as for whether he wants to present it to the Holy One, it is up to him to decide. Because, that is the responsibility he should have in the emperor's family. ”
