Chapter 44: The Sudden Arrival of Li Xian
Now the situation is very difficult, the opponent is very strong, it is best for the two of us to concentrate all our forces and prepare for a bloody battle, but the future is also very bright, if we win the Holy Buddha, you will have the power of the Buddha Domain as an arm This is the core meaning of what Feihong Master said to Li Ye just now.
Although Li Ye slandered Feihong Dashi's naughtiness, he still decided to accept the other party's suggestion.
In addition, he also did not think that Fei Hong, who dared to "rebel" strongly, would really have no arrangements and reliance of his own. She is a monk, not a strong man, and she knows that she can't do it, and she will definitely not do such a thing as looking for death.
Now that the war is coming, the most important thing for Li Ye at the moment is naturally to transfer troops.
This is very easy, the army of monks came from Shimen, and what Li Ye needs to deploy must also be an army of monks. These people who have just fought in the twelve states of Hexi are now almost recuperating, except for leaving a part of the forces to maintain order, they just happened to be transferred north to the front line of Liangzhou, and the speed is very fast.
As for the original plan to go to the plateau, knowing the remnants of the Moon God Sect and establishing the Quanzhen Temple on the plateau, this plan can also be postponed now, and the monks who have come over to deal with the Shimen will talk about it first.
Similarly, the army under Shangguan Chengcheng still played a supporting role, mainly responsible for land occupation after the war.
After the Battle of Lanzhou, the imperial army's troops were already rushing to Hexi, and they would take over the defense of the twelve states in Hexi. At the moment, when the main person is responsible for local security, the number of troops is not too large, and the soldiers do not have to fight, so even if it is a cold winter, it is not a big problem.
After a hundred years, King An and King Qi recovered Hexi on behalf of the imperial court, and now is the time when the morale of the Tang Dynasty generals is high. This is different from Zhang Yichao's time, when the control of the Hexi states was nominal, and the imperial court did not send garrisons, but now it is different.
According to the fighting spirit of the Tang Dynasty army and people at the moment, Mo said that if the army moved to Hexi, even if they were to attack Liangzhou, they would rush forward with a horizontal knife and a roar.
In the process of waiting for the army of monks to arrive, Li Yan came to the holy decree.
He directly asked the monks of the Yamen in Tsing Yi to send it, Li Ye, a very reliable righteous brother, and Datang, an unreliable playful son, added a lot of general titles to Li Ye, such as the prince and the prince or something, and the food yi suddenly increased Li Ye's number of households.
Of course, for Li Yan, these rewards are routine, and he also gave Li Ye a private letter.
In a private message, Li Yan proudly mentioned to Li Ye that while he had recently studied music and made great achievements, he also personally reduced many talented women, and when Li Ye returned to Beijing, he would give Li Ye some of them, so that Li Ye could enjoy it and comfort him for his hard work in the war for many years.
Regarding the number of talented women, Li Yan is very generous, and uses half of the word to show that the Tang Dynasty is our brother, and good things must be half of one person, Li Ye can't think about it.
At the end of the private message, Li Yan teased Li Ye again, and asked him how he got along with King Qi and whether he had been in love for a long time. For fear that Li Ye would not be able to comprehend the essence, a certain word in the idiom, Li Yan deliberately wrote it extraordinarily large.
Looking at the word that was twice as big, Li Ye seemed to see Li Yan's obscene eyes through the letter.
Of course, as a brother, Li Yan did not forget to remind Li Ye to pay attention to the dangers on the battlefield, and the most important thing is to remind Li Ye to be more concealed when reading the letter, and don't let King Qi find out, otherwise when King Qi returns to Chang'an, I am afraid that he will show his face.
Before the letter could be closed, he quietly came behind Li Ye at some point, stretched his white neck, and snatched King Qi, who was looking at Li Ye's shoulder with his head. So Li Ye knew that Li Yan's words telling him to be careful were in vain.
Today, Li Maozhen should not be called King Qi, because she is dressed up in the costume of Shengji.
I don't know what this guy thinks, King Qi suddenly disappeared, and Sheng Ji appeared out of thin air, so he was not afraid of others being strange? Other people didn't have the courage or heart to pay more attention to King Qi, but the two pairs of shining eyes of the great young man never wanted to stay too far away from her.
Now their heads are next to each other, covering their mouths with their hands and whispering, with sinister eyebrows, and nodding frequently from time to time, and they don't know what to see.
What Li Ye admires the most is Li Maozhen's free transition between the two roles of King Qi and Shengji. Dressed as King Qi, she is a serious vassal king, looking forward to her power - of course, in the eyes of others. As for Li Ye, I only think that she is a little more heroic, playful and cute.
Isn't the vassal king with red cheeks cute? Since Li Ye discovered this new continent, he would have nothing to do to tease King Qi, either telling some meat jokes to make her shy, or saying something for no reason to make her angry.
In these two cases, King Qi's shiny, round and delicate face will be dyed with a touch of flying glow, with his formal vassal king attire, wanting to hold back his shame or anger, and work hard to maintain the appearance of the vassal king's bearing, it is really cute and invincible, Li Ye never gets tired of looking at it.
Of course, at this time, Li Ye is also a little worried. It's not that I'm worried about tossing King Qi out of a bad way, but I'm worried about the folding fan in her hand. When King Qi endured shame and anger, he would always clench the folding fan tightly and make a creaking sound from time to time.
Ordinary people are vassals and elegant, so they will get a folding fan for themselves, and they will shake it non-stop in winter, and King Qi holds a folding fan in order to hide his identity and set off his vassal king's demeanor, Li Ye knows this, but the young master has no less to roll his eyes in private.
Looking at it now, Li Ye's bad taste finally made King Qi unbearable, so he simply changed the identity of Shengji, so that no matter whether she was angry, laughing, ashamed or annoyed, she could show it generously without worrying about being seen strangely.
For example, now, Sheng Ji held up the letter in her hand and asked Li Ye with a flushed face: "Say, how many beauties did Your Majesty give you? Over the years, has your palace been overcrowded? Okay, I think it's strange, why are the two little girls who are always inseparable from you, and the feelings are not guards, but your bed warmers?!"
In fact, Sheng Ji didn't want to ask this at first, she came over after receiving the holy decree, and what she wanted to ask was, "Why did Your Majesty increase your food by 10,000 households, and then I only have 5,000 households?"
Shengji's question, of course, Li Ye disdainfully answered. Men, when faced with this kind of problem, no matter how you explain it, no matter what you say, it will get darker and darker, as long as the woman is willing, she can suspect that there are other women hidden in your socks.
The best way to do this is to show disdain for the issue.
In this case, you will die with more dignity.
Of course, if you don't want to die, you can take the woman to bed as soon as possible and prove it to her with powerful practical actions. What? Useless? Note the word strong. If you say it's useless, you must not have done these three words, or you don't have the strength to do it. Otherwise, the woman who is paralyzed in bed will not have the strength to talk to you more.
It's just that it's broad daylight now, and Li Ye can't make this choice.
Da Si Ming is indignant at King Qi's accusations, and she is eager to clarify her innocence.
And she did. The result is self-evident, Sheng Ji sighed, looking at Li Ye's eyes even more full of murderous intent, saying that you are very well trained, and you can take the initiative to cover for you?
His Royal Highness King An, where can he stand such a bird spirit, so he put his hands behind his back, put on a chic and atmospheric posture, and disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
Lanzhou is the closest to Liangzhou, and the first batch of monks who rushed to Pipa Mountain set off from Jincheng County. Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng are in the team, and as hot-blooded young people, they are very willing to be pioneers and take the lead.
Seeing these two young men who were determined to serve the country in front of the foot of the mountain, Li Ye's bird anger at Shengji was suddenly thrown out of the clouds, and he happily beckoned the two into the pergola and sat together to drink a bowl of hot tea.
In fact, at this time, Li Ye had already reacted, and only then did Shengji blow his nose and glared at him, not because he was annoyed that she had many beautiful women, as a woman of the king, she still had this kind of mind. Therefore, she has been tricked by Li Ye very well in the past few days, and if she gets the opportunity today, she can take revenge.
A careful-eyed woman, the king of Qi.
Li Ye decided not to think about Li Maozhen, and gossiped with Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng seriously. is about to have a bloody battle with the monks of the Liberation Gate, and no one knows that there will be no chance to talk to each other in the future. For the two teenagers in front of him, Li Ye admired them in his heart, and he really didn't want them to be gone.
Li Ye asked Zhang Changan: "You are already the head of the family, now that you come to the battlefield, what should you do about the affairs of the clan?"
Zhang Changan put down the clean tea bowl, disturbed his head and said shyly: "For the time being, my grandfather is in charge, and there will be no problems." His Royal Highness also knew that after the Battle of Lanzhou, my grandfather became radiant, looked much younger, and often talked to me, saying that his body was strong, and his waist did not hurt when it rained and cloudy, and he rarely got up at night, and he could sleep until dawn, as if he was more than ten years younger!"
Li Ye nodded, Zhang Zhongli's change, he had seen it before, when they ate roast whole sheep together, the old man's laughter was very loud, although the damage to the body was difficult to recover, but he felt that he was indeed in good spirits.
"Your grandfather, did he tell you that he forgave your father?" asked Li Ye again.
Zhang Changan's expression became complicated, "No." ”
However, his mood was not low, but he smiled warmly: "The night before leaving, in the middle of the night, I saw my grandfather go to the ancestral hall, although the candle flame was dim, I still saw my grandfather's hand wiping my father's spiritual position. I think my grandfather probably didn't say it with his lips, but he still understood his father in his heart. ”
Li Ye patted Zhang Chang'an on the shoulder and didn't say much comforting words.
He turned his head to look at Chu Zheng and said with a smile, "What about you, didn't your master always want you to leave his side?"
Compared with Zhang Chang'an, although Chu Zheng came from an ordinary background, he was not so cramped in the face of Li Ye, probably because he felt that Bailudong was more familiar with King An, and pouted: "He is old, I have grown up, his wings are hard, he can't control me anymore." Besides, I'm fighting for my country, and he has no reason to stop me. ”
After speaking, Chu Zheng smiled and said, "These words were said to me by Master when I was leaving. It doesn't sound like a good thing, but it seems to be the truth. ”
Li Ye gave a thumbs up, indicating that neither of you masters and apprentices are ordinary people.
I didn't talk to Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng for too long, and someone came from afar to see Li Ye.
Seeing the blue-robed man standing outside the pergola, Li Ye hurriedly got up to greet him, and after the ceremony, when he asked the other party to invite the pergola, he asked, "Why did you get here?"
There is only one person in the world who can make King An show such an appearance.
Lao An Wang, Li Xian.
Compared with the time when he was separated in Hedong, Li Xian's appearance has not changed much, but he looks a lot older, and he has just come out of the desert Gobi, and he doesn't know how many hardships he has experienced in the border area these days.
However, the spirit of the whole person is much more resolute and strong than when he was in Hedong, no longer sullen, and has a lot more vitality.
In the Central Plains, he is the old king of An, who has sacrificed his life for the country, for Li Ye, he can't appear in front of people blatantly, and he has the ambition to serve the country with his empty skills, but there is no place to really let go of his hands and feet.
But in Shazhou, in Yangguan, in front of the desert Gobi, he can be a warrior freely, and together with the soldiers who fought bloodily, he fought endlessly with the alien army and guarded the country for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xian sat down on the simple bench, took the tea bowl handed by Li Ye, drank the warm tea that tasted not much different from leaf water in one go, wiped his mouth casually, and then said: "I'm here, naturally I have something to ask you for." ”
In a word, I can't wait to give myself what Li Ye said.
Originally, he shouldn't have asked Li Xian why he came. When they were separated for a long time, the father made a special trip to visit his son, which is also a reasonable thing.
However, Li Ye's perception of Li Xian is actually very complicated, mainly because it is difficult to substitute himself into the role of his son. As a traverser, and a great monk before, this is probably the most awkward feeling.
This is not the same as the role of the childhood sweetheart of the county lord.,After all, it's an equal relationship.。
was told by Li Xian to come to him for help, and Li Ye spontaneously had a sense of unfilial piety. Not to mention that the father is looking for his son to do something, there is no reason to help, just what Li Xian is doing now, itself is for Datang and Li Ye, in this case, Li Xian said such things, which is enough to make Li Ye embarrassed.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Li Ye said to Li Xian: "The situation facing Shazhou is not good, and now it is even more critical, you can do whatever you need." ”
Li Xian smiled and said, "I don't want much, a group of monks is enough." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng who were standing outside the pergola, "I only said that I asked for it, you just need to match me with someone." But these two teenagers, you have to give it to me. ”
Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng stood outside the pergola, looking like they were chatting seriously, and they actually glanced into the pergola from time to time out of the corner of their eyes. They really don't understand what kind of person is qualified to let King An treat each other very respectfully. Even if King Qi was beside him, King An had never behaved like this.
I heard that King An and the emperor are both playmates in the middle of a mess, and the two are no different from ordinary brothers together, how can this person be so virtuous and make King An so respectful? Who else in the world can make King An be like this?
When the two were curious and puzzled, they couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard Li Xian's words, and looked at each other.
How can we follow this unknown guy and leave? No, Liangzhou still needs us to attack, the Tibetan barbarians still need to be conquered by us, and the compatriots there are still waiting to meet us
In the frightened and pleading eyes of the two teenagers, they saw Li Ye nodding and said: "These two hairy boys, although they are younger, but their abilities and minds are the best choices. How many more people do you need besides these two boys?"
Li Xian did not give the number directly, but said to Li Ye solemnly: "Recently, a large number of monks have appeared in the border areas, their strength is not good, and their intentions are unknown, do you have a number in your heart, and what do you think about this?"
Li Ye suddenly understood, it turned out that Li Xian had discovered this, so he made a special trip to find him.
If there were no such changes, with Li Xian's temperament, he would definitely not take the initiative to trouble Li Ye just sitting in Yangguan.
Li Ye's heart was touched, and he exchanged corresponding information with Li Xian.
When Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng saw their fate, they were decided by the other party in a few words, and they had no chance to express their thoughts at all, and they suddenly felt that the world was spinning and dark.
