Chapter Fifty-Eight: Blood Oath
During the banquet, everyone ate and drank happily, talking about some things on the rivers and lakes, although Nanzhao has established the country, but the martial arts are very strong, and most of the things that are said are heroes on the rivers and lakes, when it comes to Li Bai's martial arts, it can only be described as unfathomable, Li Gesang actually shed tears: "Regardless of the Nanzhao Tang Dynasty, there will never be a hero like Li Bai, but the hateful king is weak, and he actually misses it." ”
Wolf Zhengxuan and the others persuaded together, and said: "Your Majesty, Li Bai is famous for his poetry, although he has unique attainments in martial arts, but the statement is not obvious, the minister heard that the Central Plains 'North Iron and South Beggar' dominate the rivers and lakes, and is the head of the Central Plains warriors. ”
Li Gesang was stunned and said: "This king practices sword meditation in the palace all day long, but he doesn't know what 'Northern Railway South Beggar' is? ”
Wolf Zhengxuan smiled and said: "Although the minister has not been in the Central Plains for a long time, there is a procurement Zhang Yun under the minister, but he often goes back and forth between Dali and Chang'an, and these rumors are also brought back by him." The 'Northern Railway', Tie Murong, has strong martial arts, especially good at palm power, and the 'Southern Begger', Li Nanjing, is famous all over the world for his swordsmanship. ”
The Tang Dynasty was very strange: "Taiwei, this Tie Murong is a combination of two surnames, and what does Li Nanjing call 'Nanqi'?" ”
Wolf Zhengxuan said: "Don Ma, that's the case, Tie Murong is a northerner, he was originally the heir of the Xianbei people and the Han people, so there are two surnames in the name, because he is called 'Northern Railway', and Li Nanjing is a southerner, and he is the leader of the beggar gang, because he is called 'Southern Beggar'." ”
Only then did everyone understand, shouting and drinking, and while the wine was hot, Li Gesang suddenly burst into tears and asked why.
Li Gesang sighed: "Everyone, Li Gesang has never done a bad thing to his friends in his life, but he owes a lot to women, Xie Xiaoyi is still in Shewa's hands, so that this king does not know the taste of food and sleeps!" ”
Everyone already knew about the matter between him and Xie Xiaoyi, thinking that since it was in Sheva's hands, it was worrying, Li Gesang might pretend not to know, and he couldn't imagine that he was affectionate and brought it up in public at such a time.
Tang Chao said angrily: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the boy will personally bring a brigade of troops to Yizhai to capture Sheva back, and let His Majesty send it back?" ”
The crowd immediately went to war.
Li Gesang nodded happily: "Very good, thank you Aiqing for your kindness, but Sheva has been defeated, although the Yi army has a lot of troops, but most of them are not elite soldiers, and it is not difficult to think about peace, so I will send Tang Dynasty and Fuhu and my son to each bring an army of 8,000 people, and take the first credit for capturing Sheva!" ”
Tang Dynasty and Li Liang were overjoyed, kneeling down to thank him, although Li Liang was more than ten years older than the Tang Dynasty, but Fang was in the prime of life, and like the Tang Dynasty, they had the intention of competing with each other, and took a deep look at each other.
Li Gesang immediately shouted: "You two listen to me, and don't underestimate Sheva, once the other party is in trouble, the other party must immediately support, this is a brother of the same flesh and blood, and you must not hurt your brother's righteousness for the sake of merit!" ”
The two promised. But in Li Liang's heart, he was very dissatisfied, the Tang Dynasty had no martial arts, his father actually favored Ruosi, he was the son of his father, and he made many contributions, but his status is now above himself, if he doesn't accumulate some credit, will he let this kid be the lord of Nanzhao in the future?
After thinking about it like this, he forgot the Tang Dynasty's life-saving grace to him outside the clouds, and this promise was very reluctant.
Li Gesang is so shrewd, he knows his son's heart, and said angrily: "Forgive me, listening to your answer, I am very unhappy, isn't it?" Well, my father will tell you clearly, the Tang Dynasty has a great life-saving grace with you, and also made a great contribution to the revival of Sheji, I should have passed this throne to him, but people are not sages, I finally got a little selfish, so that you and the Tang Dynasty accumulated credit, from now on, which of you has the greatest merit, who will be the king of Dali in the future, am I not protecting you? If you don't keep the words of your father, it is unfilial, and I want you to swear by blood! ”
Li Liang deeply regretted it, bowed his head and said, "Father, it's the child's mistake!" Then he took out the dagger beside him and cut his wrist, and a drop of red blood flowed into the wine glass.
The Tang Dynasty was reluctant to participate in the state affairs of Nanzhao in the future, but after learning history, the words of the history teacher Wang Qin at that time were vividly heard: "We study history not only in the past, but through studying history, we must find the law of historical development, follow this law, and know our current life, which is the true meaning of learning history." ”
He had just used these words as a program to answer during the exam, and he didn't think that they would really come in handy today. Therefore, he traveled to the Tang Dynasty. He clearly knows that according to the division of previous history books, the Tang Dynasty belonged to the feudal society, and it also belonged to the heyday of this society, not like the decline of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so history told him that he should climb to the peak of power in this era of power, otherwise, life and death are in the hands of others at any time, because this is a class society in which a person oppresses people, and equality is like a flood of beasts in the eyes of people in that era.
In the past few days, the Tang Dynasty has been thinking about whether to fight for the heir, and after thinking about it for so long, it finally figured it out.
At this time, as soon as he heard Li Gesang's words, he immediately cut his wrists and bleed, dripping into the wine glass.
Li Gesang was overjoyed: "Okay, good, that's good, this is the brother who lives and dies." ”
Li Liang raised his glass to the Tang Dynasty and drank the blood wine in the cup.
Tang Chao also drank it all, and then said: "Your Majesty, may I tell you when I will leave?" ”
Indeed, Xie Xiaoyi is Li Lian's mother, who loves the house and Wu, thinking of Xie Xiaoyi's situation, and at the same time worrying that Li Lian has not heard from her for so long, and she doesn't know what has happened, so she can't wait to catch Sheva immediately, and then go to find Li Lian.
I don't know why, when Tang Dynasty thought of Li Lian, Wen Jiang's beautiful face suddenly swept over in his heart.
He suddenly blamed himself in his heart, Lian Mei treated me like this, how could I be sorry for her?
But I don't know what the reason is, when I think of Wen Jiang, I always feel sweet in my heart, and I can't help but think, although this woman is a little spicy and willful, but I can never imagine that she is such a beautiful person! When I thought of this, I was a little uneasy.
I heard Li Gesang say: "It's late today, and tomorrow you will leave, and this king will personally see you off, so as to strengthen the army!" ”
The two of them claimed to be.
It was the night when the wine and banquet were dispersed, and the Tang Dynasty thought that he would lead the troops to the battle tomorrow, and he was worried, he had never had such an experience, and he actually had insomnia all night.
Just as the hour was approaching, a call suddenly came from outside the hotel door: "Prince Tang, Prince Tang." ”
Tang Dynasty was startled, pushed the door and looked, only to see Zhuan Xin with his four elder brothers to Tang Dynasty's bedroom.
Tang Dynasty immediately invited them to sit down, there was no wine in the house, and they treated each other with tea, and said: "General Zhuan, I don't know what happened when I came to visit at night?" ”
Zhuan Xin hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Prince Tang, don't call me that, you can kill the small one, you will be the commander of the army in the future, just call me Zhuan Xin." The other four brothers all spoke in the same tone.
The Tang Dynasty was not polite, I watched the TV "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview", learned the arsenic on TV, pretended to be polite, and thought, since I want to rule the army in the future, I should establish my prestige, but I can't call it like a brother, then it would be unseemly, and said: "General Zhuanxin, what is the matter, you say!" ”
Zhuan Xin's eyes were a little sad: "Prince Tang, I, although my senior brother Shewa is guilty, but, please believe that the vast majority of the soldiers and civilians of the Yi nationality are in awe of the emperor, they are just confused for a while, begging, begging the prince not to kill wantonly after victory, the kid knows that this request is very excessive, please punish the prince!" ”
As he spoke, the five brothers knelt down and did not dare to raise their heads in fear. After all, the Yi people are the big crime of rebellion, and these five people actually exonerated the Yi people, this matter can be big or small, and he said after a long time: "Originally, I can ignore this matter, but the general and I have a friendship with the Yi army to capture Nalong and Sheva, which can be said to be a friend of life and death, okay, I promise you!" ”
The five of them thanked them together, only to hear the letter say: "Prince, I am willing to follow the prince, capture Sheva, please ask the prince for permission!" ”
Tang Dynasty is worried that there is no effective general under the troops this time, what he said just now is actually the meaning of wooing, seeing what the letter said, he was overjoyed: "The general of the Tang Dynasty is like a long drought and rain, and his heart is full of joy!" ”
One by one, they supported it.
I believe in the way of marching soldiers, and I know a little bit about the way of marching soldiers, and I have to answer all questions about the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was very shrewd, for fear that the letter would underestimate him, and all the questions must be thought about twice, mostly quietly listening, without saying a word, it seems to be a bamboo in the chest, and the letter is on the border, with a simple personality, seeing that the Tang Dynasty occasionally borrowed the topic to play, and actually said the head of the way, I couldn't help but be in awe.
Tang Dynasty was secretly funny in his belly, most of these nonsense were strange theories from his classmates in the dormitory of the middle school in the past, and these people actually believed it.
In fact, now the Tang Dynasty wants to learn the method of camping, and the letter will make it clear in a few words, and then he will order his own soldiers to find the generals who will go with him tomorrow one by one, and listen to their thoughts on this battle. On this expedition, in order to show fairness, Li Gesang divided an elite army of nearly 20,000 under his command into two, and adopted the method of drawing lots to decide which people would go with these two coaches. Tang Dynasty was very grateful for this, but he didn't care very much, and only drew lots casually. I thought to myself, I have never had the experience of leading soldiers, and my own martial arts are completely insignificant, so I didn't expect to be able to capture Shewa first, but I heard that Li Liang was making food for the first shift and setting off for the second watch, so I ordered my subordinate generals to inform the sergeants under him, and the second watch made rice and set off for the third watch, which was one shift later than Li Liang, which meant not to compete with Li Liang.
The Tang Dynasty knew in his heart that his own merits were too great, and if he openly repented, it would not work, but passing on the throne to his son in this way could not only exercise his ability, but also send a signal to the people of Nanzhao - Your Majesty is just and selfless! Otherwise, why did he quietly favor his son?
The Tang Dynasty clearly remembers that Li Gesang once said that as long as Li Liang did not make miraculous achievements when attacking the Tang Dynasty in the future, he could easily become the emperor of Nanzhao, but at the banquet last night, he said that it was from this expedition to the Yi people, which was obviously partiality!
When he first said this, the generals didn't know it, and Li Liang, who knew about it, would not tell anyone, and Li Gesang would not say it, Li Bai had already left, of course he wouldn't say it, and the only other person who knew about it was Li Gesang's housekeeper Tian Li, who unfortunately had died in battle.
Therefore, this secret is only known to Li Gesang and a few people in the Tang Dynasty, and many generals still think that Li Gesang is blue-eyed to the Tang Dynasty, but they don't know that when facing such a major event as succession, the feelings of father and son are still reflected.
Tang Dynasty knew in his heart that Li Gesang couldn't be blamed for this, although his son-in-law was close, he couldn't kiss his own son, besides, Princess Jinlian Li Lian had not been found, life and death were unknown, Li Gesang did this, in fact, he still made double considerations.
