Chapter 764 Going north
In a small tavern in Xiangyang City, the shopkeeper was frightened and looked at the three officials sitting there drinking not far away. Master Guan is not Mr. Guan, and Master Guan is not sure if Master Guan is trustworthy. Not to mention whether to give wine or not, but to just say whether he can serve him well, it is enough to make the shopkeeper feel uneasy.
The officials in the city are not those in the Daliang Kingdom, but officials in the Tang Dynasty.
The shopkeeper dare not offend these newly-entered men. No one knows whether they will cause trouble because of accidental trouble. In this messy world, it is normal for soldiers to kill people. Killing a few little people like them who have no background and no power is as easy as crushing a few ants.
The wine and food are the best. The shopkeeper deliberately stared at the people in the kitchen making dishes one by one. He was afraid that the young man was excited and spitting into the dishes. If the three officials saw it, who would know if they would implicate the three tribes?
Fortunately, it doesn't seem like those three people are bullying.
In the shopkeeper's opinion, the most kind-hearted and kind among the three people was the fat man. He was honest and honest, but he could never kill anyone at first sight. As for the thin guy, forget it, such a person was greedy and lustful at first sight. What worried him the most was the white-faced man. Didn't the old saying say... a little white-faced person, no good person.
It seemed that he felt the shopkeeper's bad eyes, and the white-faced turned his head and looked here. The shopkeeper was so scared that he shrank his neck and did not dare to look at him.
"A good person does not live long, and the disaster will last for thousands of years."
After taking a sip of wine, the slightly drunk fat man looked at the white face and sighed: "I can't understand. You are hidden in Li Shimin's army. Why aren't you shot to death by cold arrows in the chaos? Is there anything so unfair to this heaven? The bastard has turned into a stone, and you are still alive..."
"You're looking forward to my death?"
The white-faced Wu Bushan asked with a glance at the fat man.
"I've been waiting for it for more than a day or two. Since last time you forced me to pay out silver with your lord's will, I burn three incense sticks in front of the Buddha regularly every day, wishing you to lose your shit, get stuck in your throat after eating, fall when walking, urinate, and blink when you go to bed with a woman. I don't have a fart-eye-eye is more vicious, and I don't have the nerve to beg the Buddha to appear."
"The Buddha is really giving you face, nothing is effective."
Wu Bushan said with a smile.
Wan Yulou sighed, "So, you are a disaster."
"Fatty, you are not staying in Nanya, you have to run to Xiangyang City to disgust me."
Wu Bushan took a sip of wine and said, "Do you miss me?"
The thin man Wang Qinian squirted out a sip of wine, wiped the wine from his clothes and said, "It's disgusting."
Wan Yulou shook his proud chest and said with pride: "Lord, I'm here to call me. If you have the ability, please complain to your lord. Also, why do you think you are so mean? I said you didn't invite you to drink. Why are you running over for a long time?"
"The bitch has wine to drink, and the bitch has meat to eat."
Wu Bushan said: "What, I'll eat and drink, what can you do?"
"Shameless!"
Wan Yulou pulled Wang Qinian and said, "Have you ever seen someone who is more shameless than him?"
Wang Qinian nibbled a chicken leg and said without raising his head: "I have seen one, and he said he would invite me to drink today."
Wan Yulou spat and cursed hatefully: "A pair of bitches."
Wang Qinian smiled: "Fatty, lord, is the lord who transferred you back to prepare for emergencies and beware of Li Shimin leaving. But you seem to have not done this, but lord has personally eliminated the big trouble. If I were there at that time, how could I be as timid as you? Even if I am alone, I can beat Li Shimin to the ground alone."
"Awesome-Is it really interesting to blow the pussy out of an unreliable person's mouth?"
Wu Bushan said seriously: "I don't dare to think about what kind of virtue it is for you to rush forward alone? Is monkey riding a horse?"
"Damn-Your Madam!"
Wang Qinian cursed.
"My uncle is still working in his hometown. He is over 60 years old and is strong. If you really have this mind, I will give you a clear path and tell you how to go. I will pay the money."
Wan Yulou shivered: "Stop talking, I can think of what kind of scene it is when you say it. Your old man in his sixties is holding a hoe and hoeing the weeds, and Wang Qinian... It's so fucking exciting."
"brute!"
Wu Bushan and Wang Qinian cursed in unison.
"Drinking bar"
Wan Yulou smiled proudly: "I have drunk wine and I still have some work to do."
"You dare to drink when you have official duties?"
Wang Qinian asked.
"It's not a big deal. I've been dealing with dead people all day these days. I've brought a few people who have seen Yuchi Gong tumbling in the pile of dead bodies for several days. I've been so disgusting that I want to die."
"Yuchi Gong?"
Wu Bushan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sigh: "That guy is a man!"
At this moment, in a corner of the Yanyun Army camp, a cripple man in Yanyun's military uniform limped to the door of the tent, looked around, and then got in. His face was injured, and a scar from the middle of his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth made him look particularly ferocious. He was so thin that he would shivering when he saw it, as ugly as a skeleton.
After entering the door, the lame man lay down in his position, closing his eyes to rest.
"Crip, haven't you remembered what battalion you are?"
A soldier in the same tent asked him.
The lame man shook his head and didn't say anything.
"Poor guy, I don't even know who I am. But it's just luck. After returning to the army, you can go home to retire. With your injuries, the court will not give you less money."
The lame man grinned, as if he was very happy.
...
...
In the imperial palace in Xiangyang City, the lights in the imperial study were on. His Royal Highness Yan moved into the palace after celebrating the achievements, and all the food and accommodation were in the imperial study. But everyone knows that the army will start soon. This Spring Festival this year is probably going to pass halfway through the march.
The war reports on the war in Hebei are sent every day. Because of the severe cold weather in the middle of winter, the Yanyun army attacking Hebei basically stopped moving forward and defended the counties and counties that had already occupied. Dou Jiande has a large territory in Hebei, and this battle cannot be completed in a short time.
This year's winter seems particularly cold, and the decisive battle will be delayed until next spring will warm.
There was nothing wrong with Chang'an. Du Ruhui discussed and dealt with the people below. No major happenings happened, and Du Ruhui's talent would not make any mistakes. In addition, Cheng Mingzhen was a mature and steadfast person, and he was in charge of the capital with Du Ruhui, both literary and military, so he had nothing to worry about.
What Li Xian is most concerned about now is the battle situation on the grassland.
Liu Hongji and his men have been out of the north of the frontier for some time. Li Xian is confident in Liu Hongji's ability, and the recent news from the Military Archives Department said that Luo Yi had already taken the Hu Ben heavy cavalry out of seclusion.
But this is precisely because of the incident on the grassland that Luo Yi sent troops outside the border, and the defenders of Zhuo County would inevitably be insufficient... If Dou Jiande took the opportunity to go north, the situation in Hebei would become more complicated. In addition, those Goguryeo who did not know how to die... staying in Xiangyang City for one more day may have an impact on the future battle situation.
Li Xian was very anxious.
So he killed hundreds of officials from Daliang, from the emperor, from the officials. Speaking of which, Li Xian was at the gate of the city on the day he entered Xiangyang City, and his slightly arrogant behavior was deliberately done. At that time, he did not look at Xiao Xian or the surrendered ministers of Liang, and the expressions on the faces of the surrendered ministers were under the observation of the secret army guards.
Sometimes the reason for killing is very simple, that is, it is better to kill the wrong one than let go.
If you want to establish a new order in one place, the best way is to completely overthrow the original order. As for other places in Liang State that have not yet been conquered, Li Xian had already made plans.
Putting down the secret report from the Military Archives Office in his hand, Li Xian looked at Li Xiaogong, who was slightly restrained sitting on a chair not far away.
"Your elite cavalry is going to call you."
Li Xian did not intend to use any tactful way to say it, but said bluntly: "Gu wants to lead the army north, and the cavalry is the most important. Gu will not take them away, leaving you 10,000 cavalry. Li Shimin and Liang's surrendered troops are assigned to you 50,000 people. In order for you to subdue these surrendered troops, Gu will leave you 20,000 infantry. These 20,000 people were selected from the original guards in Chang'an. You were once the guards of Chang'an. They were all your old subordinates, and you can use them easily."
"Ten thousand cavalry and seventy thousand infantry."
Li Xian looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "I will give you 80,000 troops and rest in Xiangyang City for two months. After the Chinese New Year, all the unsettled areas in the south will be handed over to you. When the matter of Gu General Hebei is settled, if your troops are insufficient, you will be allocated to you. In addition, Niu Jinda will be less than 500 miles away from here, and he is training new recruits. If the war is in a tight position, you can ask Niu Jinda to lead his army to support him."
"I obey the order."
Li Xiaogong bowed his head and said.
"The people in Jingxiang are strong and appease the people."
Li Xian thought for a while and ordered: "It is a last resort for me to kill people in Xiangyang City. If you pacify the south, you should appease the people more and kill less. The people in the south are not like those in the north. It is useful to use Liby and use swords and weapons. How to fight and how to fight, you should make your own decision. I will just give you a few words."
"I am sure that I will fulfill my mission."
"I can trust you."
Li Xian smiled and said, "Among the old ministers of Li Yuan, there are only five people who can be called famous generals. You, Liu Hongji, Zhang Gongjin, Li Daozong, and Qu Tutong. Gu Tutong was the guarding of Hedong. Li Daozong was under Xu Shiji's account, and Liu Hongji advanced to the north. Your contribution was still not as good as them, so you should be more attentive."
"I understand."
Li Xiaogong said: "If you don't abandon your lord, how dare you not do your best!"
"Go, I will leave all the matters in Xiangyang to you. In the future, I will lead my army north, and I will wait for your good news."
Li Xiaogong said goodbye and left. Soon, Ye Huaixu and Jiaer walked in.
"The military inspectors put down the plates, but for a while, no news about Yuchi Gong was found. Maybe they died in the chaos, or they might escape from a distance."
Ye Huaixue sat down beside Li Xian and said.
"There's no time to care about this."
Li Xian shook his head and said, "The army will set sail the day after tomorrow. You should go back to Chang'an City. Qingqing also wants to follow you. This time you go north, there is no need for you to suffer."
"Jia'er and the others are all back...I can't go back."
Ye Huaixue said seriously: "I want to go to Saibei."
Li Xian was stunned and nodded: "Okay, you can follow me all the way to the north of the Seibei."
