Chapter 321: Forgetting the Ancestors
The forbidden army totaled 100,000 horses and horses out of the city, but they did not immediately attack to meet the enemy, but camped in the field under Li Yuan's command, at this time the weather was cold, and the soldiers were puzzled, but when they saw Li Yuan's face, they never dared to say more.
Because since Generalissimo Li left the city, his face has somehow been gloomy, darker than the clouds in the sky, and the whole person looks unhappy and about to explode. The soldiers didn't know why the generalissimo was worried, but since the generalissimo was like this, and he also shared the weal and woe with them, why bother to bother with himself.
After camping, Li Yuan did not even convene the generals to discuss the matter according to the marching convention, but hid in the marshal tent and did not come out.
The soldiers seemed to be shrouded in low air pressure, Li Yuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and everyone had to talk and walk carefully. Although the battalion commander made the generals above clear in their hearts and knew Li Yuan's next plan, no one dared to leak secrets more, and they were all gearing up, waiting for the generalissimo's military order.
In the middle of the night, suddenly the people in the forbidden army camp roared and neighed, and the earth-shattering movement lasted for half an hour before it fell silent. Li Yuan listened to the sound outside the tent, but drank silently in the tent the whole time, Fu Hong, the commander of the Xiongwu Army, sat down and looked at him quietly, and poured him wine from time to time when Li Yuan signaled, seeing Li Yuan drinking cup after cup, but he didn't dare to persuade.
The tent door was opened, and the bonfires in the fire pit were blown by the cold wind, and the candles were almost extinguished. Li Yuan looked up and saw a figure with his head down, being pushed and shoved through the tent, it was Nahe Zhou Thorn Shi Hu Ze.
"Finally here, Hu Tingshi, come and have a drink with Ben Shuai." Li Yuan looked drunk and crooked, and beckoned lightly at Hu Ze.
"Generalissimo, Generalissimo...... Xiaguan ...... Xiaguan ......" Hu Ze cried with a sad face, obviously the movement in the camp just now caught him off guard and his heart was shocked.
Li Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "Huh? β
Hu Zearched his hands and said in a trembling voice: "Generalissimo, the subordinate has the courage to ask, why did you summon me and the 10,000 defenders of the state to the camp, and disarm them all to take care of them?" If the subordinate official is at fault, the generalissimo will punish him, and please don't embarrass the brothers under the command of the generalissimo, who guard the city for the imperial court day and night, and have no merit and hard workββ"
"So tell me what you did wrong?" Li Yuan frowned.
"This ...... That ......" Hu Ze hesitated, raised his head to meet the fierce light in Li Yuan's eyes, and Fu Hong next to him had already stood up to fight the sword, and suddenly realized.
"Rebels and thieves, what are you doing? Leaving your dog alive here is to let you have something to say, and let it go if you have a fart. Fu Hong shouted first.
Hu Ze sighed lightly and smiled bitterly at himself, then stopped pretending, suddenly straightened up, seemed to change his face, and said coldly and stubbornly: "This matter has nothing to do with my 10,000 brothers, I forced them to do it, I am the mastermind, they are forced." β
Li Yuan said coldly: "When death is on the verge of death, is it still performing the so-called brotherly righteousness in front of Ben Shuai?" It's ridiculous. β
Hu Zeyu said calmly: "Is it ridiculous? I think you're even more ridiculous. β
"Bold!" Seeing that this guy dared to ridicule Li Yuan in turn, Fu Hong said angrily.
"Stand down!" Li Yuan immediately stopped drinking Fu Hong, then slowly put down the wine cup in his hand, frowned and continued to Hu Ze: "Tell me, is Ben Shuai ridiculous?" β
Hu Ze was not angry, he really said his point of view in 1510, it was nothing more than Li Yuan's repeated military exploits for the country, but he was always restrained by the emperor's jealousy everywhere, and sooner or later the cunning rabbit died and the lackey cooked Yunyun, and the words were quite extremely naked, and at the end he said: "The Tao is the star of the world and a fart?" If you continue like this, you will end up in a different place. If I were you, with such a handsome talent and resourcefulness, and a majestic division under your command, I would have already waved my army to the east and advanced to replace it, and I would never die for the fake and righteous dog emperor of Jinling. β
Hu Ze had already investigated Li Yuan's past many times, and thought that his words would definitely arouse Li Yuan's empathy, but Li Yuan just smiled playfully and confided two words: "That's it?" β
Fu Hong on the side was furious, and he drew his sword and wanted to go up: "Generalissimo, Hu Ze, this thief actually said such a rebellious and demagogic word, the last general really can't bear it, for the sake of the country, he will definitely break this Hu Ze and the chaotic army under his command into thousands of pieces." β
Li Yuan's mind was in a disorder, and suddenly the anger in his heart surged, and he picked up the wine cup on the eucalyptus and smashed it on Fu Hong's chest, and scolded angrily: "Did Ben Shuai let you do it?" The rebellious army you mentioned is worth 10,000 lives, and they are all Jianghuai children under His Majesty's rule! You say kill and kill? If Your Majesty is to blame, will you bear it or will you bear it? How about Ben Shuai's position being given to you? β
Li Yuan is not a hypocrisy, just because the current emperor Li Jing, that deep sea of thoughts is really unpredictable, there was a secret decree before Li Yuan tried his best to protect the 100,000 soldiers of the Zhennan Army who were plotting rebellion, which made Li Yuan really dare not rashly do anything to the 10,000 people under Hu Ze's command.
Seeing that Li Yuan was furious, Fu Hong knew that he was reckless, and his face was splashed with hops, but he didn't dare to wipe it, so he hurriedly bent down and cried with a sad face: "Generalissimo, calm your anger!" Generalissimo's anger! The last will know that he is wrong! The last general just saw that this thief was too arrogant, and dared to insult His Majesty and the Generalissimo, how could he tolerate it? So there was murderous intent...... And the last general only admires the generalissimo, how dare he have other thoughts! β
Li Yuan sighed heavily, didn't raise his head and waved his hand: "You go out first, go to the army and get twenty military sticks by yourself." β
"The last general...... The last general ......," Fu Hong said in amazement.
"How? Don't think twenty sticks are enough? β
Fu Hong bowed his head and bowed, he didn't dare to quibble, he regretted wanting to die in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "Generalissimo, it doesn't matter if you have thirty military sticks, it's just that how can the generalissimo be alone in the tent with the thief, and the general is afraid that he will be unfavorable to the generalissimo......"
"Do you think Ben Shuai can't deal with a thief?" Li Yuan coldly clenched the sword of the Son of Heaven with the dragon pattern shining on his waist.
Fu Hong was helpless, so he had to give his hand and said: "The last general doesn't dare, and the last general will go out to receive the punishment." Generalissimo, please be careful. Then Fu Hong glared fiercely at Hu Ze, who was silent beside him, and then bowed down, got up and withdrew from the tent with a flushed face, but did not dare to go far, but immediately asked the surrounding guards to call to join the army, and said that he received the military stick punishment outside the generalissimo's tent.
In the handsome tent, Hu Zejing quietly held his breath and glanced at Li Yuan, and saw Li Yuan sitting there with a calm face, his eyes watching the candle flame jump, and he didn't look at himself at all.
"You Li Yuan are really loyal to the court of Jinling, but it's a pity that a rare young hero like you actually works for the Wudao pseudo-Tang Dynasty, which is really a pearl and dust." Hu Ze was the first to break the silence in the tent.
Li Yuan sneered: "What a pseudo-Tang Dynasty, my Tang Liezu is the fourth grandson of Li Ke, the son of Tang Xianzong, the son of Jianwang, Chengtian was ordered by Jianghuai to restore the country, how can I say that the pseudo-word is said?" β
Hu Ze raised his head and laughed, then spat and said fiercely: "Phew! Don't you know that the victor is the prince and the loser is the loser? What is the fourth grandson, pretending to be a false surname Li! That Xu surnamed Li Yu, Xu Wen's Xu! If Emperor Taizu hadn't taken a fancy to him and gave him to Xu Wen as a fake, he Li Yu would be a nameless and surnameless, little novice with a life like a mustard! Successfully changed his surname, and the generation who forgot his ancestors in the number of classics is also worthy of the mandate of heaven? β
"So this is called forgetting the ancestors?" Li Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Are you scolding yourself?" β
Hu Zemeng raised his head, but saw Li Yuan and then said, "Are you afraid that your surname is not Hu?" Am I right? β
