Chapter Thirty-Eight: Pick Up Your Clothes When You Meet
It is said that Li Hao's contribution this time is not small, whether it is saving the Wu Han Department at the beginning and saving the main force of the Han army; or the sudden rise of the later army, taking the Longshan defense line that disintegrated the hustle and bustle of Shangtai; In the end, he occupied Hanzhong, broke the barrier of Shudi, and opened a way for the subsequent extermination of Gongsun Shu.
In the end, in terms of meritorious deeds, the official position that Li Hao was promoted to was the position of the military commander, and the rank was higher than that of a thousand stones, which directly belonged to the new general of Zhengbei.
How to say it, this official position is actually not high, at least compared to Li Hao's contributions, it can only be said that it is in the past.
The only thing that is more gratifying is that Emperor Wen did not give Li Hao another captain and boss, but let Li Hao lead the army independently, which means that Li Hao will not lose the initiative to fight independently due to being included in the system in the future war.
And all the soldiers and horses that Li Hao commanded before were left behind, so that Li Hao could continue to command, instead of being sent back for rotation after the fighting stopped.
In addition, in order to make up for Li Hao, in addition to rewarding Li Hao with a lot of manor wealth, according to Li Hao's military exploits, the rewards of the generals under Li Hao's command are also extraordinarily rich.
He even personally recruited Li Hao in front of him and poured a lot of chicken soup, but in fact, even if Emperor Wen didn't do it, Li Hao could understand it, after all, there would be a war in a short time, unless Emperor Wen didn't plan to use Li Hao, otherwise he needed to consider a problem.
If Li Hao's position is raised this time, what if Li Hao makes another great contribution in the future, it will definitely not work if he does not award it, after all, the Han Dynasty has the most important military merits, and if he does not reward his merits, it will chill the army's heart.
But if it is rewarded, Li Hao is really young now, he can't really let him be equal to Wu Han and Lai She, and Li Hao is not a good son of Emperor Wen, so he is unwilling to make this trouble for Li Hao.
And Li Hao's identity as the concubine of the Yuan family is not easy to rise too fast, after all, Yuan Pei is now the state pastor, and Liang Wuji, who has a good in-law, is also a state pastor, if Li Hao's official position is too high, it goes against his idea of restricting the rights of the family, so he can only be treated harshly.
It's just that Emperor Wen didn't know much about Li Hao's thoughts, and he was still a little worried that Li Hao would have a grudge, so he asked Lai She, Wu Han, Cui You and others, who had crossed paths with Li Hao before, to visit Li Hao one by one, and persuade Li Hao to be relieved openly and secretly.
Li Hao was helpless, and he could only make them believe that he really wanted to open his mind by repeatedly showing his intentions, and he didn't feel resentful, and then there were fewer people here.
After he was free, Li Hao noticed that among the many rewards, there was one reward that slightly attracted Li Hao's attention, that is, Ling Budo was named the right supervisor of Yulin because he was the first to ascend for the army in the battle of Jixian and Luomenju, with a rank of 300 stones, and officially became an official.
Of course, Li Hao didn't know what the specific situation was, after all, Li Hao had already arrived in Hanzhong at that time, and then after returning to Chang'an, he had been recuperating in the house for a long time, and he didn't have time to inquire.
However, no matter what the cause of this incident is, Li Hao can imagine the speed of Ling Budo's promotion in the future, but he is afraid that after the next time he exterminates Gongsun Shu, this guy will be able to climb on his head soon if he can make some past contributions, which is really enviable.
So Li Hao thought about whether to go and make friends with him, not to ask him for anything, and to see if he could borrow some momentum from him, because for his safety, Emperor Wen would definitely match him with elite soldiers and strong generals, maybe when he exterminated Gongsun Shu later, he could also borrow him to help gnaw hard bones.
It's just that before Li Hao's injuries got better and he started to act, Emperor Wen was about to leave for Luoyang, and Ling Budo also left with the guards.
As for Li Hao, he was also left in Chang'an to recuperate, and after his injuries were healed, he went directly to Hanzhong and waited for the follow-up battle order.
In addition, in addition to Emperor Wen, other generals were also greatly transferred, such as Cui You, Wu Han, Cen Peng and others also left Longxi one after another, but Cui You's group returned to Luoyang, while Wu Han and Cen Peng went directly to Jingzhou.
It seems that the war on the southern front to exterminate Shuzhong was not presided over by Wan Songbai, and at that time, Ling Budo's words in Wanfu seemed to have a lot of decorations.
After these people left, Chang'an was deserted all of a sudden, and Li Hao was injured and it was difficult to go out, so he was really bored for a while.
It wasn't until a few days later that Li Hao suddenly received two flying pigeon letters, one from Xuzhou and the other from Jiaodong.
Jiaodong's letter was written by Qu Lengjun himself, in fact, there were not many words, just some words of concern for Li Hao's body, it seems that the news of Li Hao's injury has reached Jiaodong, and at the end told Li Hao that he would come to Chang'an to take care of Li Hao's injuries, and said that when Li Hao received it, the person must have already left, so let Li Hao not dissuade him.
Li Hao has no way to do this, fortunately, the land of Chang'an is still safe, and she will not be in any danger here, but after she is injured and goes to Hanzhong, Li Hao will definitely not let Qu Lengjun accompany her.
But this is all later, Li Hao immediately asked people to set off in the direction of Luoyang to meet Qu Lengjun.
After giving the order, Li Hao looked at the news sent by Yuan Pei from Xuzhou, which made Li Hao laugh angrily, it turned out that Yuan Pei already knew that there was a fifth percent of the assassins, and he also knew that Li Hao was sending someone to search for the fifth percent of the letter Yuan Pei asked Li Hao to stop chasing and killing the fifth percent, and said that he would find a way to deal with this matter.
Then Li Hao must not do it, Li Hao has always felt that Yuan Pei is a little too indulgent to Wucheng, in the original book, in order to wipe Wucheng's buttocks, Yuan Pei almost compensated the Yuan family and staged a good show of a pit son.
Li Hao wanted to get rid of the fifth percent this time, firstly, to avenge himself, and secondly, to eliminate hidden dangers, so as not to be cheated by someone for no reason when he did a good job.
It's just that now that Yuan Pei knows about this, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome to do it again, so Li Hao specially called Yuan Pei and them over and reprimanded them severely.
After all, he told them to hide it from Yuan Pei, but Yuan Pei still knew what he should know, of course, this can't completely Yuan burst them, after all, the caravan system that Li Hao has formed now is based on the Yuan family, Yuan Pei, as the head of the Yuan family, if he really wants to find out, it is indeed difficult to hide it, but understanding is understanding, but this does not affect Li Hao's temper with them.
After scolding, Li Hao was much more comfortable, so he asked everyone else to go down, leaving Yuan Yuan alone and saying: "I have one thing I want you to do, this matter will need to be hidden from my father and the elders of the clan, I don't know if you are willing." ”
Yuan Feng didn't think about it after hearing this, and replied directly: "Please give an order, I will do it with my heart." ”
Seeing Yuan Tuo's reaction, Li Hao was still very happy, Li Hao could trust Yuan Tuo's loyalty, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of letting him do this.
Coupled with the bloody battle on the battlefield in the past two years, the relationship has become more harmonious and the trust level is even higher.
Li Hao said: "Okay, I want you to reorganize the caravans and garrisons in various places, and select a group of trustworthy people to do things, I don't want my next order to let people who shouldn't know know about it." ”
In fact, Li Hao has always had this idea, but when he could use it in the past, Li Hao didn't bother with it, but now when he encounters something, he can't hide.
Yuan said when he heard this: "Yes, I will definitely handle this matter, but it is only about the fifth percentage, whether to stop the pursuit for the time being." ”
Li Hao replied: "Since my father has already spoken, let's let him go for the time being, I don't want to argue with my father about this matter."
But when you're done organizing, you'll have to do what you need to do, you know what I mean? ”
"Yes, I know what to do." After Yuan Yu agreed, he went down to prepare, this time he wanted to organize the caravans and garrisons in various places, which was bound to patrol everywhere, and he might not be able to come back before the battle.
Then the duties of the head of the guard need to be taken up, and in the end, Yuan Wo let Yuan Wo take over after Li Hao's consent.
After everything was arranged, Yuan Burst said goodbye to Li Hao and embarked on the road of rectification.
Not long after, after a long journey, Qu Lengjun finally arrived in Chang'an City and met Li Hao.
At this time, after more than three months of cultivation, Li Hao had not yet returned to a normal level, but his normal actions were no problem, so he went to the east gate to greet him.
Then when the two looked at each other, they saw her crying out of her uproar, this pear blossom with rain made Li Hao feel distressed, and quickly stepped forward and said: "Don't cry, I'm not fine." ”
Qu Lengjun choked up and replied: "Do you know, some time ago, the news that you were seriously injured in Hanzhong came back to Jiaodong, but it frightened me and Aunt Jun.
At that time, everything was said in the message, and you didn't say that you would send someone back the news in time, we didn't know the situation on the front line, and we didn't know how worried we were about what would happen to you. ”
Li Hao replied: "It's all my fault, I must change it, don't cry, I'm heartbroken for crying, let's get in the carriage and go back to the house first, and wait until the house to talk about anything." ”
Hearing this, Qu Lengjun suddenly realized that he seemed to have been excited just now, and he actually revealed his true feelings in front of everyone outside the mansion, and he felt that the whole person was not good.
And Li Hao also noticed this abnormality, but Li Hao didn't point it out, and took the initiative to lead Qu Lengjun to the carriage and go home.
On the way back, Qu Lengjun had not yet recovered from the embarrassment, so he seemed very silent, and only waited until after entering the mansion.
Qu Lengjun drove away a group of subordinates, and he was about to pick up Li Hao's clothes, seeing this situation, Li Hao thought that Qu Lengjun was going to do something, and immediately replied: "You have traveled a long way, and people must be tired."
Why don't you take a rest first, anyway, when you arrive in Chang'an, we will have more time in the future, so there is no need to rush for a while. ”
Hearing this, Qu Lengjun immediately understood, slapped Li Hao on the body, and said, "What are you thinking about, I want to take a look at the wounds on your body, and quickly take off your clothes." ”
Li Hao definitely won't admit defeat, and immediately replied: "That's what I thought, this wound has been recuperated for three months, and it has long been healed, so there's nothing to look at."
It's time for lunch now, and it's not too late to look at it after the meal, but you're thinking about it. ”
"Don't say it's useless, take it off, I'm going to see it now." After getting along for such a long time, Qu Lengjun also knows Li Hao's temperament, and if he wants to continue to answer, he may have to deviate, so he said directly.
Seeing this, Li Hao couldn't make any more gags, so he could only obediently take off his shirt, Qu Lengjun saw the healed scar on Li Hao's body, and couldn't help touching it, and said: "I'm afraid of these wounds, and I'm afraid that when you are injured, I'm afraid it will be more painful." ”
As he spoke, he was about to cry again, Li Hao hurriedly replied: "No, except for this incident, which happened suddenly and was stabbed in the shoulder, there were no other major injuries." ”
Saying that, Li Hao stretched out his hand to hold Qu Lengjun, and described to her the origin of other scars one by one, which training injury this piece was, and which fell and pierced the skin, anyway, it was just a trivial matter.
And this is indeed the truth, Li Hao has never been the kind of person who advocates personal martial arts, and the starting point of Li Hao's two generations of leading troops is not low, and he has never done the kind of low-level petty official who has to charge with dozens or hundreds of people.
Therefore, although Li Hao's own martial arts are really good, in fact, he rarely goes into hand-to-hand combat directly, so he really hasn't suffered many serious injuries.
In fact, the scars I just mentioned were basically all from a long time ago, but because they were very small, Qu Lengjun didn't pay attention to them in the past.
Originally, Li Hao's words were intended to comfort Qu Lengjun, but she didn't expect that after hearing this, she suddenly became more sad, and said: "It turns out that these have been there for a long time, why haven't I seen them before."
You have always been so good to me, but I am so unconcerned about you, I am very wrong. ”
Seeing Qu Lengjun's self-blame, Li Hao really couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to reply: "You and I are husband and wife, and we are the ones who want to walk through this long road of life hand in hand."
And we don't know how many people and how many things we will encounter along the way, and we can't always divide everything clearly, and if we pay too much attention to these details, it will create a gap between you and me.
As long as you have me in your heart and you in my heart, it is enough, and these little things are negligible. ”
After saying that, Li Hao kissed her directly, and proved that he liked her with practical actions, and this was really useful, at least Qu Lengjun really didn't talk about these things later.
With Qu Lengjun here in the follow-up, Li Hao's life is more detailed, after all, when it comes to presiding over the affairs of the house, it is her forte, which is much better than the rough men under Li Hao.
The only thing that gave Li Hao a headache was that when Qu Lengjun heard the doctor say that Li Hao's qi and blood were deficient and he needed to meditate and cultivate, he didn't agree to let Li Hao have sex, which made Li Hao angry.
Originally, Li Hao didn't think about it, but now that everyone has arrived, Li Hao's interest has been raised but he hasn't let it, what's going on.
