Chapter 63: Father and Son on Heroes (Part II)
"Huaining Town is approaching the eastern capital, and the middle of the world holds the north and south, and Emperor Suzong set up this town in order to prevent the intrusion of the Anshi rebels on Caoyun.
It is connected to Zhengzhou and Bianzhou, the center of Jianghuai Caoyun in the north, and separated from Xiangzhou and Dengzhou, the center of Hanshui Caoyun in the east, and there are many Sinicized Hu people, mountain sheds, and Pinglu army in the south in Huaining, so its sergeants are strong and brave and good at fighting.
Whether Li Xilie led his army north to Gyeonggi and Henan, or west to Shannan, it was effortless, and as soon as Jianghuai or Xianghan Caoyun was broken, the Beijing division would be wiped out and starved to death.......
Guo Ying did not continue.
As soon as the words landed, Guo Yao and Guo Yao fell into silence.
"Hachiro, what you say is reasonable, just listen to what you say, it seems that Li Xilie will be opposed?" After thinking for a while, Guo Yu frowned and asked.
"It's not like it, it's determined." Guo Ying put down the teacup in his hand and looked solemn: "Li Xilie took great pains to expel his uncle and adoptive father Li Zhongchen from the town and led Huaining himself, which shows that he is not a person who is willing to live under others for a long time, and this person's cruel reputation is known to the world, if he does not rebel, it is called a strange thing." β
Seeing that Guo Ying had analyzed it so thoroughly, Guo Yao and Guo Nuan also put away their playful attitudes, but Guo Yao still hesitated: "Can Li Xilie rebel?" After the saint succeeded to the throne, instead of curing him of the great crime of expelling the festival marshal, he added him to the post of imperial historian, appointed him as the envoy of the festival, and changed Huaixi Town to Huaining to show his favor. β
"Isn't Emperor Xuanzong kind to An Lushan, isn't this official the opposite?" Guo Ying sneered and said, "Sixth brother, you are certainly a moral gentleman, but if you measure the princes of a party by the criteria of a moral gentleman, it will be a thousand miles away.
People don't care about the infamy of the ages, and the people of the world spurn it, you must know that history has always been written by the victors. β
Liulang Guo Hua is an easy-going character, but since he was a child, he has been immersed in Confucian scriptures and teachings, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he is inevitably contaminated with many moral rules, and it is inevitable that he will be a little naΓ―ve when thinking about things.
This time, he was scolded by Guo Ying, and his face turned red, and he was speechless.
Instead, Guo Yao glanced at Guo Ying, smiled and said: "Then according to what you say, if Li Xilie is really opposed, the court will be helpless." β
"It's okay to be helpless, but it's a sure thing to be in a hurry." Guo Ying hooked his lips slightly and said: "However, the court is full of good generals, if it is dealt with properly, presumably Li Xilie will not be able to make too many waves." β
"Oh, you have always had a high vision, and you actually said that the court is like a good general, so in your opinion, who can be called a good general?"
Guo Ziyi joked with a smile, but secretly praised this eighth son in his heart for his unique vision, splendid mind, ability to break through the appearance, insight into the world's chess game, and seeing at a glance that Li Xilie is the key to the situation in the world.
It's just that it's useless for him to see through, the emperor intends to use Li Xilie to win against Liang Chongyi of Shannan Dongdao, and then try Li Xilie, if there is no accident, he will not take the initiative to launch an offensive and strike first.
On the other side, Guo Ying heard Guo Ziyi mention the word good general, so he lowered his head and calculated carefully, and only after a long time did he raise his head and smile: "Li Sheng, the commander of the Right God Army, is brave and martial, and has repeatedly made side achievements, can he be called a good general?" β
"Li Shengqi is great and talented, good at adaptability, and handsome. There are countless famous generals I have seen in my life, and those who can surpass others are only Li Guangbi and Wang Zhonghe. β
Guo Ziyi brushed her head and did not hesitate to praise Li Sheng, but at the end she smiled and said: "It's a pity that he is a general." β
When Guo Ying heard him say this, he also smiled knowingly, although Li Sheng can fight, but in front of the Son of Heaven, he is definitely not as good as the cautious and diligent Shence military envoy Bai Zhizhen, and he is not even as good as the eunuch in Dou Wenchang.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the general's distance from the Son of Heaven was often more important than whether he could fight.
However, Guo Ying did not dwell on this, but continued to talk to Guo Ziyi about the good general in his eyes: "Ma Sui, the handsome man of Hedong Festival, was well-read when he was young, read the art of war and tactics, and had a lot of strategies, can he be called a good general?" β
"Ma Sui does have a big strategy, and within a year of arriving in the town, he has trained 30,000 elite soldiers, or he can compete with Li Xilie."
Hearing Guo Ziyi's evaluation of Ma Sui, one of the three famous generals of the Tang Dynasty in the eyes of the Tubo people, Guo Ying was a little surprised, but thinking that Ma Sui at this time really had no record, he continued to say: "Zuo Jin Wuwei General Hun Xuan, who joined the army in the year of the general horn, has been in war for a long time, and is well versed in the method of using soldiers, can he be called a good general?" β
"Hun Yu has been serving under my knees for a long time, like a half-son, how can he be, I don't know, it's just that he is a shallow person, and he can only be a general, not a handsome."
Speaking of Hun Ying, the corners of Guo Ziyi's mouth flashed a faint arc, when Hun Yang was still young, he served by his side before and after the saddle, whether it was taking care of his daily life and diet during the day, or warming his drowning utensils at night and washing his feet, all of them were thorough and meticulous.
Feeling that he was conscientious, he taught him the art of war, not wanting that 20 years have passed, Hun Yang has really become a world-famous tiger general, and even because of his modest and cautious nature, the world has compared him to Yu Yu and Jin Riyan.
This can be regarded as a beautiful talk, and he, Guo Ziyi, also has a good reputation for discernment, and he is naturally happy.
People have left a name, geese have left a voice, and it is a good thing to get a good reputation.
In fact, in addition to these three people, there are many good generals in the imperial court, such as Li Baozhen, who trained the Zhaoyi infantry, Qu Huan, the general of Zuo Jinwu, the general of the battlefield, and Luo Yuanguang, the deputy envoy of the Zhenguo Army, who has been guarding Tongguan for more than ten years......
It's just that these people are still a little lacking in competing with Li Sheng and the three of them right now.
And Guo Ziyi, after some evaluation, finally saw the poor dagger, but heard him say earnestly to Guo Ying: "As you said, the court is full of good generals, but I think that it is not necessarily a good thing for the generals to be too sharp and sharp."
Since ancient times, on the occasion of fame, between monarchs and ministers, there are many famous generals who have not been rewarded, and they have suffered unforeseen disasters, such as Zhao Lianpo, Li Mu, Qin Baiqi, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Zhou Yafu, Song Tan Daoji, Wei Youer Zhu Rong, Qi Hu Luguang, Gao Changgong, Zhou Youyu Wenxian, Sui Gao Ying, Shi Wansui, although these people have their own way to die, but with their world-famous deeds, they have ended up full of punishment, which is also embarrassing.
and Wang Qian, Wei Qing, Wei Rui, Duan Shao, Li Jing, and Li Xiaogong, who also made great contributions...... But you should follow their example, know how to be subtle, wait for the time to move, and retreat bravely, not like now. β
When Guo Ying heard this, she subconsciously looked up at Guo Ziyi, and her gaze met in the air for a moment, and she was quite enlightened, and she unconsciously lowered her eyes and thought about it.
The so-called traitor is like loyalty, the truth is like falsehood, and if he really wants to usurp the throne, he may really have to learn from Yin people like Sima Yi to hit with one blow, instead of learning from Huan Wen to put his mind on the bright side and act step by step.
"That's it" After Guo Ziyi finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly lose interest in talking, turned her head to look out the window and muttered: "Go to the inner courtyard to meet your mother, you have been away for a few months, she misses it very much, and recently heard the news of the army class, she is talking about it every day." β
At the mention of the Zhao family, Guo Ying's heart suddenly warmed, and his body relaxed, he responded softly and walked out of the middle hall quickly.
