Chapter 212: Capriciousness
The doctor in the army is surnamed Ma, and his full name is Ma Ruhai, who was originally in Langzhong who traveled in Luzhou. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoA year ago, he was left in the house by Leyuan because he cured Zhang's insomnia. In the past, because the Le Yuan couple was coming to Daizhou, they volunteered to go with the army. At this time, he was checking the pulse of the soldier, and when he heard that the general's wife was sick, he explained a few words to the soldier, and asked him to take the prescription to the city to get medicine, and then quickly went to the general's mansion in the west of the city with the comers.
Ma Ruhai entered the room with the soldiers, and Le Yuan was very anxiously pacing back and forth in the room, and when he saw him coming, he stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Ma, I am not feeling well, I have to take you a trip." Ma Ruhai replied: "Don't panic, general, stay down and check the pulse of your wife." ”
After that, he came to Le Zhenxian's bed and gently put his right hand on her wrist. After taking the pulse, Ma Ruhai was stunned, seeing that Le Zhenxian's face was pale, he got up and said to Le Yuan: "General Huiyu, Madame's illness is very peculiar, her heart pulse is more messy than ordinary people, and she must not be excited. ”
Le Yuan asked in a panic, "How can this be?" Ma Ruhai said: "I think that Mrs. Lai was born with this disease, and today she is working harder than usual, so the disease has just appeared. Now that my wife is weak and needs a little recuperation, I will go back to the barracks to write a prescription for my wife now. ”
Le Yuan sent Ma Ruhai away, returned to the bedside, and looked at his wife without saying a word. Lin Hanyan shyly hid his head in the quilt. Le Yuan gently removed the quilt on her head, and said to himself: "Sister Yan, it's my husband's negligence! I didn't notice that your body was itchy in time, and I asked you to do so many housework." Lin Hanyan said softly: "Lelang, I don't feel tired no matter how much I do for you." Le Yuan said: "Now that the Khitan army is still outside the city, you are not feeling well, it is not safe to stay here, I will send someone to send you back to Luzhou tomorrow." ”
After hearing this, Lin Hanyan shook her head, held her husband's hand and said, "Le Xun, do you remember what I said when I came out? Le Yuan knew that Le Zhenxian was reluctant to leave her, and was worried about her body, so he said to himself: "I don't know what the court is going to do next? Lin Hanyan comforted him and said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, don't worry too much." Le Yuan smiled at her.
On this day, Le Yuan did not go to the barracks or the city tower, but was busy cooking soup for his wife in the house. In the evening, a person came to the house, and Le Yuan looked at it, but he didn't expect it to be Du Chongwei Du Thorn History. Du Chongwei said: "I heard that my younger brother and sister have itchy bodies, so I came to visit!"
Le Yuan invited him to the main room to drink tea together. After the two exchanged a few words, Le Yuan asked: "Big brother, can the Khitan and Khitan countries send someone to contact and negotiate peace today?" Du Chongwei put down the teaglass, glanced at the inside and outside of the house a few times, and said slowly: "Brother Xian, the second thing I came here today is to discuss this matter with you." With that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Commander Du Chongwei. Du Chongwei handed the letter to Le Yuan and said, "You will know after reading it." ”
Le Yuan carefully opened the envelope, only to see that the letter read: "Your Excellency Du Tingshi: My Khitan territory spans 3,000 miles, and the armor has millions of people. The monarchs and ministers of the Central Plains today have no way and cannot carry out the rule of Yao Shun, which causes the resentment of the people in the country to boil, and the beacon fire runs through the north and south. The emperor of our country remembered that the descendants of the two countries at the same time Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the same ancestor and the same origin, so the army came to save the people of Li from fire and water, and to help the building to fall. Today, your country readily agreed, and the words of peace were made in advance. Our country is determined to attract millions of heroes, and the tiger is based on the wilderness of Daizhou, and help your country to calm down internal troubles. I hope that Your Excellency will think twice and achieve the good of the two countries for 10,000 years. Jerod bows again. After reading it, Le Yuan said angrily, "What a bunch of nonsense! There are more than 500,000 soldiers and civilians in Daizhou, and once they are handed over to the enemy, there will be no chance of turning over." ”
Du Chongwei also responded indignantly: "Yerod is so light that he can take advantage of the danger of the lion to open his mouth. Seeing that he shared the same hatred with him, Le Yuan said: "What the eldest brother said is very true, how can he live well now?" Du Chongwei glanced at Le Yuan with his eyes and said, "This is exactly what the eldest brother wants to discuss with you." The matter of peace talks is of great importance to us, and if there is a slight mistake, you and I will lose our lives at the least, and at worst, we will be left with a stench for 10,000 years. It is better for us to hand this letter to the imperial court and ask the emperor to decide, and at that time, the fate of Daizhou will have nothing to do with the two of us. ”
After hearing this, Le Yuan meditated for a moment and said: "At present, the imperial court is fighting fiercely in the Central Plains, how can you have time to pay attention to this matter?" Du Chongwei said: "The difference between the words of the virtuous brother is precisely because the imperial court is fighting with the rebellious army in Luzhou, so we have to consider the situation in Daizhou. If Daizhou is captured by the Khitan, will Taiyuan still be able to hold on? At that time, I am afraid that the entire Central Plains will have to be returned to the Khitan. The matter is urgent, and there is no time to discuss it with the virtuous brother, and the foolish brother has already written a recital. Le Yuan said: "In this case, I am willing to jointly submit a letter with my eldest brother." Seeing that he had received his support, Du Chongwei took out the fold in his arms and said, "Okay, Brother Fool will send someone to Luzhou Xingying for 800 miles tonight." ”
Le Yuan was upset at this time, not only because of the aggressive posture of the Khitan, but also because of the decision that the imperial court was about to make. If Daizhou is ceded, what will he face to face the soldiers and civilians of Daizhou who are fighting with him.
On the evening of the seventh day, seeing that the terms of his peace talks had not been answered for a long time, Yerod led his troops to attack the southern gate of Daizhou despite the strong opposition of the military advisor Ji Payou. The soldiers and civilians of Daizhou had just faced the battle, and suddenly received a military order from Du Chongwei not to start a war without authorization. Leyuan stood on the city wall, looked at the arrogant enemy army below the city, and sighed.
For several days, Le Yiyang did not see Du Chongwei. The Khitan army attacked the city fiercely and almost knocked down the city of Daizhou. Le Yiyang couldn't find Du Chongwei, and couldn't bear to see the people in the entire city being slaughtered, ignoring Du Chongwei's order not to resist, and led his Anxi army out of the city to meet the battle. When the Khitan soldiers saw the murderous Tang Dynasty soldiers, they couldn't help but be stunned. The Anxi army has always been well-trained and disciplined, and they fought bravely on the battlefield.
Within a few months, the two sides fought more than ten times, and the Anxi army and the Khitan army each lost thousands of troops. Yelude saw that the Daizhou soldiers were huge, and the Khitan soldiers had already lost many generals, so they had to order the withdrawal of the troops and retreat dozens of miles away.
Although Le Yuan asked Du Chongwei many times during the war, he ignored the entire battle situation and only said that Le Yuan was fully responsible. Le Yuan didn't know why, because the war was tight, he didn't think about what Du Chongwei said. It wasn't until after the siege of Daizhou City was lifted that Du Chongwei appeared on the city tower and said to him: "Brother Xian repelled the Khitan and kept my Tang border pass, which is really a blessing for the community!"
