Chapter 318: The General's Foresight

If Li Mei'er dares to do this, I will beat her ass with a top door stick. There is also Cheng Qianli, the envoy of Qiuzi Town, who only cares about promotion and fighting, so doesn't he care about women's education?

"Don't worry, I'll talk to you when I get a chance."

"If Li Lang can think like this, I will be much more relieved, then I will go back to the room."

Li Siye nodded, continued to walk forward, suddenly turned to look at Li Twelve Niang, and Twelve Niang, who was about to turn around and leave, also suddenly stopped in place, her face was slightly flushed, and asked in surprise: "What's the matter, Li Lang?"

Twelve Niang is becoming more and more like a hostess in this family, Li Siye will have to face her problems sooner or later, and she needs to be given a proper title, which involves a lot of trivial things in life such as wedding banquets and treats.

He also has to face another problem, that is, the same clan and surname are not allowed to marry. He didn't know if the branch of the Li family where Twelve Niang was born, or whether it was from another surname to Li, crossed the region, anyway, the rules and regulations here are much more complicated.

"It's nothing, oh, Twelve Niang, are you from the branch surnamed Li?"

"What's wrong?" She asked, shyly lowering her head and pinching the skirt at the side of her waist.

"It's nothing, I'm just asking."

"Master told me that I am a descendant of Yiguo Gong, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, and was given the surname Li by Gaozu. If you're worried that you won't be able to marry with the same surname, don't worry at all. ”

Li Zihe's descendants, is it so big, anyway, I'm just thinking about it, so you can guess it?

When he went to see Twelve Niang again, she had already run away with her head down, almost covering her face with her sleeves out of his sight.

……

At the beginning of November of the 29th year of Kaiyuan, Tian Renwan's division, which had failed in the expedition, returned to Qiuzi, the location of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and the deputy capital protector and the governor of the four towns, Meng Lingcha and Zhonglang, met the party at Guangyuan Gate in the west of the city.

The banners and banners were still waving slowly from the desolate dirt road, but it could be seen from a distance that the morale of the expeditionary party was low, and the faces of the generals and soldiers were covered with dust, and they looked tired and unintentional. Jiedu made Tian Renwan wear a golden scarf, the golden bright light armor could not hide his depression, this once high-spirited veteran's beard was as white as a weed, I remember that when he met in the green ridge, he still seemed to have a green beard.

Li Siye turned his head to look at his husband Meng Lingcha and found that he was brewing emotions to make himself look more sad, for politicians, this moment is a very test of acting skills.

When Tian Renwan came to the city gate, Fu Meng Lingcha led a cadre of officials left behind in Anxi Mansion to bow down and bow with their hands crossed: "I will wait to welcome the return of Tanaka Cheng."

Tian Renwan turned over and dismounted with difficulty, and Fu Meng Lingcha hurriedly stepped forward to hold the reins of the horse, and whispered beside him: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and I hope Zhongcheng will not mind."

Tanaka Cheng did not speak, but gazed deeply at Fumeng Lingcha with a cold and contemptuous gaze, and this look revealed countless information, containing the disharmony between the Jiedu envoy and the capital protection. And Fu Meng Lingcha actually accepted it calmly, he was able to freeze this gaze.

Tian Renwan strode towards the city, and the generals behind him dismounted, gathered their flags, and led their horses to salute their husbands and go to the city.

Gao Xianzhi, the guard of Yanqi Town, stopped at the gate of the city, bowed to Fumeng Lingcha through the three zhang Yuan's forked hands, didn't say anything, turned around and ordered his subordinates: "We won't enter the city, go back to Yanqi directly!"

Li Siye secretly observed it, and felt that there must be a story between Fumeng and Gao Xianzhi.

Cheng Qianli, the envoy of Qiuzi Town, also came to Fumeng Lingcha and saluted with his hands crossed, then turned to Li Siye and said: "Tanaka Cheng has ordered, the Qiuzi Jumping Battalion and the Battle Front Team are still under the jurisdiction of General Li, you should hurry back to the camp to rectify and report."

"Whoa." Li Siye slapped his hand towards Cheng Qianli, and then turned to Fu Meng Lingcha and said, "Duhu, I'll go down first."

He quickly returned to the city, and with his team of more than twenty people, he immediately rushed to the camp of the Jumping Camp and the camp of the Strikers on the banks of the White Horse River.

The frustration in the camp was even worse than that of the expeditionary army, and what he didn't expect was that the jumping battalion and the battle front team had lost more than 200 people, which was equivalent to the establishment of an entire regiment, and the captain Liu Long was also lost in this battle. The situation of the vanguard team was slightly better, losing nearly 100 men, and one captain was killed in battle.

This made him very angry, how did this horse phosphorus do it! That's how my people sent it to him? Did he use my men as a meat shield for him?

He had to figure it out, if this horse phosphorus really did this, he would have to find him and come over and spray him with blood!

With a gloomy face, Li Siye called the four captains of the Jumping Battalion and the Frontguard to the earthen fort hall, he sat cross-legged in front of the desk, looked at the four people with gray and decadent faces, and slapped his palm on it.

Syllable!

"What's going on? We lost the most in the entire expeditionary force! The jumping camp was thrown into their hands and became a sandbag to death? Ma phosphorus, this bastard thing, isn't it his own soldier who doesn't feel distressed!"

The faces of the four of them were already gray, and at this moment they became more and more numb like elm pimples, and after secretly glancing at each other, Zhao Congfang took half a step forward with courage, and said with a forked hand: "General Ma is not to blame for this matter, his Luntai battalion has suffered the greatest loss, and more than 400 people have been killed in the five regiments, and more are injured."

Li Siye's face eased slightly, but he asked in a stern tone, "What about the other generals' teams?" How much do they lose?"

Zhao Congfang was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about his words, and hesitated to speak: "Other ......"

"Tell the truth!"

Qiu Luan took the initiative to step forward and said: "General Li, in this expedition to Xiao Bolu, the Chinese army suffered the greatest loss, and the largest loss of the Chinese army was more than the more than 2,000 people detained by General Ma Fu. On the contrary, the left and right Yu Hou armies, the left and right front and rear armies did not suffer much loss. ”

Li Siye waved his hand in a heartfelt manner: "Okay, you go down, report the losses of the personnel, equipment, horses, etc. of each regiment, list them in the account book, and wait for me to ask the Metropolitan Protectorate for it."

"Whoa." The four of them crossed their hands in unison.

When they left the Leopard Hall, Li Siye held his chin in his hand and began to ponder. He remembered the scene when Cheng Qianli summoned the generals to a banquet at the orchid restaurant that day. At that time, Cheng vaguely proposed to obstruct the expedition, and the only person present who objected was this General Ma Phosphorus. He was not able to attend the battle in Lianyunbao in Bolechuan, so he did not know the situation at that time, but he could also see some clues in terms of the heavy casualties on this battlefield.

The biggest problem faced by the officers who parachuted into the west from other places was that they were not accustomed to the water and soil, and Tian Renwan had been in office for less than a year, and he had not yet established his prestige and gathered military power, so he rashly planned an expedition, which was his problem.

In fact, the biggest problem was the discord between Tian Renwan and Fumeng Lingcha, and Li Siye thought at first that the two were just different opinions, thinking that as long as the expedition to Xiaobolu and the construction of the post station were carried out at the same time, this contradiction could be easily solved. But I didn't expect that Fu Meng Lingcha was holding back the bad in his stomach, and such a big thing as the expedition to Xiao Bolu could be used by him as a bargaining chip to squeeze out the opponent, this is not so simple as a contradiction. Didn't he think about Anxi's two years of financial income being wasted? Didn't he think that those Tang troops who died in battle died in vain? It's purely a matter of morality.

Fumeng Lingcha is loyal on the outside, but deceitful on the inside, although he is not bad to himself now, but he should be more wary of him in the future.

People are a very complex thing, from different standpoints look at it completely different, people can be selfish, but selfishness breaks through the bottom line is harm, to a certain extent, this Fu Mengdu and Li Linfu are the same kind of people.

Qiu Luan and Zhao Congfang walked out of the Tubao Leopard Hall side by side, and the two turned around with palpitations and looked towards the hall. They are not stupid people, and they can guess a thing or two about what happened on the battlefield of Lianyunbao that day.

Qiu Luan suddenly discovered that General Li was the only winner this year, and he took the initiative to avoid the meritorious expedition Xiao Bolu in the eyes of others, but he wholeheartedly found someone to build a post station. Others wanted to hold the watermelon, but he picked up the sesame seeds one by one, and when Xiao Bolu's melon was broken, the sesame seeds in Li Siye's hands had sprouted and blossomed and bore fruit.

If he is either prescient or has a very high sense of politics, General Li is worthy of being General Li, or he is countless chips higher than us.

Qiu Luan patted Zhao Congfang's shoulder and sighed: "Cong Fang, Cong Fang, in my eyes, General Li is the real master. ”

Zhao Congfang shook his shoulders and shook off his hand, and rolled his eyes boringly: "Your mouth is a breathable cloth bag at both ends, you can get angry at either end, and you can say both positive and negative words." ”

After speaking, he strode towards the camp, leaving Qiu Luan to shout angrily: "Alas, you wait a while, I will analyze it for you again, and you will understand whether what I said is reasonable or not!" “
