Li Yan released Gu Fuguang, although before releasing him, in order to get angry, he still ordered someone to beat him with twenty military sticks, of course, for a rough person like Gu Fuguang, twenty military sticks are also the level of red skin.

However, Li Yan doesn't care, these twenty military sticks can be regarded as revenge on Gu Fuguang's previous calculations against him, and as for the rest of the punishment, naturally the imperial court will help him do it.

Looking at the glimmer of hope that Gu Fuguang still had for the Ming Court, Li Yan almost wanted to laugh, he died a guerrilla, do you still expect the Ming Court to remember you and be loyal and forgive you? just waited for Yang Sichang to kill Gu Fuguang to wash the off his crotch.

Gu Fuguang let it go, but he always wanted to give Li Zicheng an explanation, after all, Li Zicheng let him act cheaply, and I don't know if it was cheap to release mortals privately, but Li Yan still believed that Li Zicheng, who gave him full support, could understand his plans.

So that night, he wrote a thousand-word recital, explaining in detail the three reasons why he couldn't kill Gu Fuguang, and the four reasons for releasing Gu Fuguang, and ended beautifully at the end, pointing out that he was imitating Zhuge Liang's means of capturing Meng Shu seven times, and it was expected that Gu Fuguang would come to join him in the future.

After writing this letter, he took a long breath and asked people to take it to meet King Chuang in person, as for him, he has not slept for a few days, and he is tired enough to choke on it, and he wants to make up for sleep.

To tell the truth, Li Yan is always surprisingly naïve in his emotions and attitude towards Li Zicheng, Xu really regards Li Yan as a character like Liu Xianzhu, and treats himself as a role like Zhuge Liang, Li Yan always takes it for granted when dealing with Li Zicheng.

Let's not talk about it, whether Li Zicheng is Liu Bei or not, whether he Li Yan is Zhuge Liang or not, and Zhuge Liang in the official history is not necessarily so ignorant.

Li Zicheng didn't care too much when he learned that Xizuo was captured, although Li Yan kept emphasizing that the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, and asked him to support Li Yan to do this, it didn't mean that he decided to persuade a Laoshizi Jinyiwei to form a special agency to break into the army.

For Gu Fuguang, his attitude has always been to arrest and then personally interrogate and interrogate, if he can get some important information about the Ming army, it is naturally very good, if he can't, he will kill him with a knife.

As for the soothing, what about kidding? At this stage, even the ordinary low-level officials of the Ming Dynasty are killed, not to mention you are an eagle dog of the imperial court?

As a result, Li Zicheng waited left and right, but people didn't wait, but waited for the indignant pro-soldier and a letter from Li Yan.

When I opened the letter, I saw Li Yan's dog-crawling font, Li Yan's words were ugly, this is something that everyone knows about breaking into the camp, many of the ordinary books are ghostwritten by Gu Junen, who works in the book, this time Li Yan personally wrote a letter, which is enough to see that Li Yan attaches great importance to this matter.

Li Zicheng looked at Li Yan's letter, his expression was as usual, and there was nothing unusual, he read it again, closed the letter, stared at his own soldiers and asked, "Joining the army and letting Gu Fuguang go?" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately poured bitter water: "Palm the plate, the surnamed Li really doesn't take you in his eyes, we originally wanted to dissuade it, but this guy didn't listen to it, and he was stunned to let go of the eagle dog of the court!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded quietly when he heard this, and said: "Li joins the army and naturally has his reasons, you are my personal follower, I asked you to protect Li joins the army, and I didn't let you frame him behind his back!" It's a lesson to get twenty military sticks! ”

The pro-soldier was greatly dissatisfied when he heard this, and arched his hand and said: "Palm the plate, I violated your military order, so I naturally admit punishment, but this surnamed Li, who had previously made trouble in the camp, and now he was caught and released directly, how can such a thing convince my brother?!" ”

"Enough!" Li Zicheng glared at the tiger, glared at his own soldiers and said: "If you frame Li to join the army here, the rod will be forty!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers could only hang their heads in resentment, and arched their hands and said, "Obey!" Then he turned and opened the tent to receive the punishment.

Seeing that the soldiers were gone, Li Zicheng unfolded the letter again, read it again, and then called the guards at the door and said to him: "Go and find Gu Senjun, I have something to discuss with him." ”

"Yes!" It's not too early now, and the guards don't know what King Chuang is doing looking for Gu Junen late at night, but the military order is like a mountain, so he can only give up his orders and leave.

Gu Junen was lifted out of bed, it was so late, Li Zicheng summoned him must have something important to discuss, as the number one strategist of the army, he didn't dare to delay, hurriedly changed his clothes, and hurriedly followed the guards to pay homage to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng didn't speak as soon as they met, ordered someone to bring a chair, filled a bowl of ginger tea for Gu Junen, and took Li Yan's letter and handed it to Gu Junen for him to examine carefully.

At first, Gu Junen also took a sip of ginger tea, and when he saw the first few lines of Li Yan's letter, he immediately spit out a sip of tea, hurriedly put the letter on the desk and got up and arched his hand: "King Chuang, I don't know about this matter, it was Li Yan's efforts, Li Yan is young and frivolous, and it is inevitable that he will not know how to do things." ”

came up and picked it all for himself, Li Zicheng smiled, and was noncommittal, but stepped forward and pressed Gu Junen's shoulder and pressed him back into the seat.

"I didn't say that it was instructed by Gu Junshi, nor did I say that Mr. Li did something wrong, so Mr. don't worry." Li Zicheng said with a smile: "I am a rough person, naturally I don't understand these twists and turns, the two gentlemen are scholars, and they naturally do more things than I think." ”

Gu Junen naturally heard the overtones in Li Zicheng's words, Li Zicheng was accusing them of relying on the fact that he was a scholar and did not take him seriously, and did something without authorization, completely treating him as the king of the air.

Gu Junen hurriedly got up in panic and said, "King Chuang's words are serious, Li Yan is still a little doll, how can he know this?" It is inevitable to be frivolous when you are young, and it is natural to beat the king. ”

"I heard that Li Yan is still the son of the Shangshu family in the former dynasty?" Li Zicheng asked Gu Junen with a smile, but his eyes were full of suspicion.

"That's just some jokes, if it's really the son of the Shangshu family in the previous dynasty, how could he break in? What's more, although Li Yan's behavior was inappropriate, it was also for the sake of breaking into the camp, and he was definitely not a person from the Qin Dynasty," Gu Junen swallowed his saliva and explained, Li Zicheng actually began to doubt Li Yan's loyalty.

Hearing this, Li Zicheng's face softened slightly, and he said slowly: "Yes, I know Mr. Li's talents, but I always owe some Gu to join the army. ”

Of course Li Zicheng likes Gu Junen, Gu Junen is the scholar who lost in the imperial examination, the darkness of various officialdoms has long been peeking into one or two, and the twists and turns in it are naturally well understood.

So when getting along with Li Zicheng, Gu Junen can always accurately step on Li Zicheng's point, which is also the reason why he can become a close minister of Li Zicheng as a literati.

Compared with the rude and barbaric martial arts, Gu Junen's delicacy can always make Li Zicheng feel like a spring breeze, and he never takes credit for himself, but gives it all to Li Zicheng, which is undoubtedly the most happy thing for Li Zicheng.

Li Yan is different, he is a college student more than 300 years later, grew up in the modern era of liberalism, and studied materialist dialectics, for this scholar in the ivory tower, he has a natural sense of superiority over the natives of this era, and it is also difficult for him to hide his scholarly spirit.

When Gu Junen was thinking about "how to do a good job in the camp", Li Yan was often thinking: "How to do a good job in the camp." ”

He put himself in the position of the master, but forgot that Li Zicheng is the protagonist here, he is just a dispensable supporting role, with the life of the maid and the heart of the master, it is already Li Zicheng who can tolerate people if he can live until now.

Li Zicheng doesn't care much about Gu Fuguang's life, if he doesn't kill him, he Li Zicheng still has this idea, even if Li Yan takes Gu Fuguang in front of him, explains the reasons why he can't kill Gu Fuguang, he Li Zicheng can also let go of Gu Fuguang with a big wave.

Of course, he agreed with the content of Li Yan's letter, and he also felt that there was no problem with Li Yan's way of dealing with it.

But the question is, who should do this? Li Zicheng does it himself, which is called giving grace to Gu Fuguang, which will be of great benefit to his reputation, just like Li Yan said in the letter.

But now that Li Yan has done it himself, what is this? Co-authored Li Yan extrajudicially and released Gu Fuguang instead of him, the king of Chuang, who was benevolent? This is what annoys him the most, Li Yan, Yue Yan is acting on his behalf!

And what is even more embarrassing now is that Li Yan caught Gu Fuguang and made a real contribution, and it is impossible for him to punish Li Yan with this excuse, not to mention that Li Yan's talent also makes Li Zicheng admire.

This caused Li Zicheng's troubles, how much he hoped that Li Yan could be like Gu Junen, with fewer edges and corners, and more ability, he didn't mind being Li Yan's backing, but how could Li Yan take all the benefits?

"After all, Li Yan caught the Ming army this time, and he did have merit, although the final disposal was improper, but the flaws were not concealed, according to Mr. Gu, how should I reward Li Yan?" Li Zicheng looked at Gu Junen, and under the entanglement, he decided to kick the ball to the person who was best at "fighting" in the camp.

Gu Junen naturally knew Li Zicheng's plan, his eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and then he arched his hand and said: "King Chuang, Li Yan has merit, but this time the fine wind wave is widely implicated, and several generals in the front battalion also have a lot of complaints about Li Yan, and his subordinates think that if Li Yan continues to serve in the army, I am afraid that the generals of the front battalion will be dissatisfied.......

Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "But Li Yan is indeed meritorious, and a few generals in the front camp can be regarded as dissatisfied, and I can't take it seriously without rewards and punishments, so who will be willing to do things for me in the future?" What's more, what Li Yan did out of public intentions, how can he blame? ”

Gu Junen heard what Li Zicheng meant, Li Yan was meritorious, he just wanted to beat Li Yan, he didn't think about completely replacing Li Yan, Li Yan is a talent, it is a pity to replace him in Li Zicheng, after testing the depth of the water, Gu Junen is more comfortable.

So, Gu Junen immediately arched his hand and said: "King Chuang, Li Yan is good at affairs and has a talent for strategy, if he is abandoned, it is indeed a pity, it is better to transfer him from the cusp for the time being, not only can he experience a thing or two, but also can calm the dissatisfaction of the commanders of the front camp." ”

When Li Zicheng heard this, his eyes lit up, yes, transfer out, transfer a position, not only knock Li Yan, but also appease the emotions of the front battalion, isn't this a lot of money?

So Li Zicheng smiled with satisfaction and asked, "Then according to what Mr. thinks, what position should Li Yan be transferred to?" ”

Gu Junen thought for a while, and arched his hand: "Since my army entered Nanyang, the rear camp has become more and more complicated, and the supply of military food in the front camp has always been unsatisfactory. ”

"Money and food affairs have always been in charge of self-respect, and it's not good to take them rashly" Li Zicheng thought about it and said, Li Zijing is his younger brother, and now he is acting as the logistics housekeeper of the camp.

"There is no need to take it off, King Chuang only needs to set up another equal position to check and balance each other, which can not only knock Li Yan, but also rectify the unhealthy trend of grain and grass in the camp by the way." Gu Junen offered his own plan.

"This method is feasible, so according to the gentleman, what kind of position is feasible?" Li Zicheng asked.

"It's good to set up a supervisor of grain and grass" Gu Junen blurted out, he was still familiar with this kind of position.

"Okay, then do it!" Li Zicheng smiled with satisfaction, sure enough, Gu Junen was able to win his heart.

In this way, Li Yan's right member of the army was removed in a daze, and was replaced by this inexplicable official position of supervising grain and grass affairs, although the rank is parallel to joining the army, it can no longer affect Li Zicheng's decision-making, which can be regarded as a kind of secret descent.
