Chapter Ninety-Seven: Accompanying the King is Like Accompanying the Tiger
Fengling Ferry.
Wang Yu, who had slept all day, had just gotten up.
And Pei Kuan, who was fighting continuously, was still in a coma and still had a high fever.
"I don't know if Pei Kuan can survive!" Wang Yu looked up at Tongguan City on the opposite bank, and saw the figures on it flickering under the light of torches, and his face became very ugly.
"Look at the providence!"
Tian Renwan was also staring at the fires on Tongguan City, as if they were ignited with his hard work, with an expression of wanting to eat people.
Wang Yu shook his head and sighed, "After the old man returns to Beijing, it is estimated that it will be difficult to lead the troops to the battle!" But that's not bad, just go back and tease Sun. ”
His tone was full of depression.
After all, this time he led the troops to the expedition, not to mention the loss of troops, and he had not been able to achieve the campaign goal.
With Li Longji's character who only looks at the results and does not look at the process, he will probably go to prison directly!
Wang Yu's expression was slightly gloomy.
Obviously, his heart is not as indifferent as his mouth says.
However, he was not worried about his life.
Li Longji didn't dare to offend a big family like the five surnames and Qiwang now.
If it annoys the Wang family, the elite of the entire Hedong Jiedu envoy, not to mention rebellion, at least they will not be able to work.
"The general doesn't have to worry, the wind knows the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers."
"Since the rebellion of Shouwang Li Mao's cavalry, you are the first Jiedu envoy to respond to support Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and he will definitely not blame you for the defeat in this war."
"If the last general is reckless here, who else in the world is qualified and capable of serving in Hedong Jiedu, except for you, the general? Can you drive all the armies under your command like an arm? ”
Tian Renwan said sincerely.
To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that Jiedu was Wang Yu, he Tian Renwan would not have been able to make the Heavenly Soldiers under his command so desperate that he would suffer so many casualties that he could not rebuild.
"General Tian, you are serious!"
Wang Yu stroked his beard and smiled.
Although he knew that Tian Renwan's words were a bit exaggerated, he was still very useful in his heart.
Wang Yu thought for a moment and said, "After returning to Hedong, I, the Taiyuan Wang Clan, will definitely fully support the reconstruction of the Heavenly Soldier Army." ”
After all, people are desperately supporting themselves, and he still can't do anything to cross the river and demolish them.
"Thank you, General!"
Tian Renwan immediately bowed down and thanked him.
The garrison of the Heavenly Soldiers is in the north of Taiyuan.
If there is the strong support of the Taiyuan Wang clan, it will not be a problem to restore combat effectiveness in a short time.
The Taiyuan Wang clan originated from the Qin Dynasty general Wang Li, and the entire Taiyuan County was its county wang.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, generations have been deeply involved in Taiyuan County, and there have been six ministers who rank as the third prince and eleven prime ministers.
One of the most famous people should be Situ Wang Yun in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was he who killed Dong Zhuo and did not properly dispose of the Western Liang soldiers, which led to the disgrace of the Han Dynasty and finally opened the Three Kingdoms Troubled Era.
Until this dynasty, the Taiyuan Wang family has always been married to the royal family.
Almost every generation of princesses has married into the Taiyuan Wang family.
Wang Yu should still be Li Longji's distant cousin and Li Mao's distant cousin.
……
Luoyang.
Li Longji indulged in pleasure in the Vientiane Shrine again.
The melodious sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra rang non-stop.
The cow cyclamen smelled the fragrant wind and frowned.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
called several times in a row, but did not see Li Longji react in the slightest.
Niu Xianke couldn't help but push away the dancing girl who was blocking the way in front of him, and shouted loudly towards the dragon chair on the high platform: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
The dance in Li Longji's hall was interrupted, and a trace of impatience flashed on his face, "Prime Minister Niu, why are you in such a hurry to find me?" ”
The cow cyclamen glanced left and right, but did not speak.
Li Longji immediately understood that there should be an urgent military situation, and it was bad news.
"Stand down!"
With an order from the emperor.
The hundreds of dancers in the Vientiane Shrine immediately bowed and retreated, and the musicians of more than a hundred people on both sides also evacuated.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the hall was completely silent.
"Say it! What's the matter? Could it be that Wang Yu was defeated? Li Longji's face was cold.
Niu Xianke hurriedly explained, "Wang Jiedu was not defeated, but only temporarily retreated. ”
Then he told in detail about the battles that had taken place in Tongguan in the past two days.
When talking about the enemy general Gao Shun fighting to the point of exhaustion and dying here, Niu Xianke's tone became extremely admirable.
When Li Longji heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that such a brave general can't be used by me!" ”
Niu Xianke added on the side, "Your Majesty, Pei Kuan has also fought to the point of exhaustion, and he has been unconscious. ”
The battle report was sent out this morning, and it had not mentioned that Pei Kuan had a high fever, so the two naturally didn't know.
"Alas!"
As soon as Li Longji heard Pei Kuan, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Niu Xian, did you say that Pei Kuan is in conflict with my attributes!"
"I can naturally trust his loyalty, but why can't he win every time he leads his troops?"
"It seems that he is indeed not suitable to lead troops!"
"In this way, after he returns to the court, he will go to serve as the head of the Jiangnan Road march! It's just right to transport grain and grass to my governor! ”
Li Longji was angry in his heart, so he naturally vented it to Pei Kuan, who had been defeated repeatedly.
Pei Kuan's highest position was that he served as the general of the Sixteenth Guard of the Southern Ya.
Although the position of the head of the march in the land is already higher than the position of the general of the sixteenth guard of the Southern Ya, the place where he wants to serve is Jiangnan Province.
Where is there any war?
I'm afraid that there are not even a few thieves in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.
At this time, the cow cyclamen suddenly had a sense of sadness in his heart.
You must know that Pei Kuan was a great hero who defended the emperor and escaped from Chang'an.
Now it will be idle in the south.
Sure enough, it is like a tiger!
Thinking of this, Niu Xianke immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty's holy decree is respectful!" ”
Li Longji bowed his head and said: "Let Wang Yu come back quickly, I don't want to hold him responsible, let him come back and take the rest of the Hedong soldiers, wait for Zhang Xiang to come, and then march to Chang'an." ”
Fan Yang Jiedu sent Zhang Shouqi to arrive with an army of 90,000 in seven days.
This is the force that Li Longji has pinned his hopes on the most.
It is also the strongest combat force in Datang.
Li Mao was standing on the bank of the Yellow River at this time.
From time to time, the rushing water made a sparse rattling sound.
At this time, he also thought of the army of Fan Yangjiedu's envoy.
This field force, with a full strength of more than 90,000 troops, is an absolute force capable of changing the situation on any battlefield.
In the Anshi Rebellion in history, An Lushan led the army dominated by Fan Yang Jiedu's envoys, and it only took 34 days to capture Luoyang.
"Let's fight it out here!"
Li Mao looked at the other side of the ferry, letting the cold wind blow the dragon robe on his body.
