Chapter 812 Can't say

After returning from the riverside, Changsun Wugui didn't fall asleep all night. She was already past the age of childishness, but she still didn't want to close her eyes. She was afraid that this was an unreal dream. When she closed her eyes and opened it, she woke up and had nothing left. In fact, there were not many conversations between the two people when they were by the river, but some of the past things Li Xian talked about were deeply engraved into her heart. When she was lying on the bed, these things were all screened back and forth in her mind.

She fell asleep in a daze until dawn, but the maid who was close to her was anxious to wake her up.

"Miss, wake up quickly, it's not good."

The maid gently shook Changsun Wugui's arm, and when she saw her open her eyes, she said anxiously and afraid: "Get up quickly, Mr. Changsun started arguing with the lord in his lord's tent, and it was so fierce. The husband's personal soldiers hurriedly ran back and asked me to tell you."

Changsun Wugui was shocked and his face changed: "What happened? Why did the brother quarrel with his lord?"

"It seems that the lord is going to leave the military camp and accompany General Daxi to the north to relax and hand over the military power to General Xu Shiji. The lord who attacked Mingzhou will no longer ask about it. After Mr. Changsun found out, he ran to the lord's tent and stopped him from going out. He used his words a little too much, and the lord was furious."

Changsun Wugui was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

After saying that, she lay down again, pulled the quilt and covered it with her body: "Send someone to watch it again. If the lord leaves with anger, don't wake me up again. If my brother comes back in anger, wake me up again."

"Why?"

The maid asked with some concern.

"Go."

Changsun Wugu waved his hand gently, and the worry on his face had disappeared.

At the same time, in Li Xian's military tent, Li Xian's face was indeed a little ugly. When he looked at Changsun Wuji who was in front of him, he was not angry about the guy's stubbornness, but about his feelings. Why did Changsun Wuji in front of him seem to be the same as Changsun Wuji in history?

Changsun Wuji in history was a somewhat flattering person. He was the leader of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion and had no influence in the court. However, he was a little foolish, loyal and obedient to Li Shimin. Basically, he would fit whatever Li Shimin said. Especially Li Shimin made many wrong decisions in his later years, but Changsun Wuji could clearly see that it did not stop him at all.

But the guy standing in front of me now looks like a stubborn scalper.

"The eighth year of Daye in Sui Dynasty!"

Changsun Wuji raised his head and looked directly at Li Xian's face. Although his face was a little pale, his tone was still solemn: "Yang Guang, the foolish king of Sui, devoted all his national strength to lead a million troops to fight against Goguryeo. The army gathered at the Liaodong city, but he did not focus on how to break through the stubborn city, but he was thinking about where to go. Finally, he handed over all the military power to Yuwen Shu, but he took Empress Xiao to Wanghaidun to have fun under the escort of the Sixth Army of the Emperor."

"Yang Guang was having a lot of fun in Wanghaidun, but the army was blocked by a small Liaodong city and could not move forward! It was said that he handed over all the military power to Yuwen Shu, but this was an act of the imperial commander personally. Yuwen Shu did not dare to be proficient in any military affairs, so he sent people to Wanghaidun to decide. He went back and forth, and went back and forth for more than a month! The battlefield was ever-changing. Not to mention a month, it was a day or an hour!"

"Although Yuwen Shu is in charge of the three armies, he has to report everything. He missed the opportunity to fight, and the Sui army was defeated at the city of Liaodong! The lord is thousands of miles away from the north of the border. If there is an urgent military matter, would he have to send people to the north of the border to make a decision?"

Li Xian raised his hand and pointed at Yu Wen Shiji's nose and asked word by word: "Changsun Wuji, do you mean that Gu is the same as Yang Guang?"

"I dare not!"

Changsun Wuji knelt down with his robe and his forehead touched the hard ground: "Suggestions, advice... This is the duty of those who are ministers. I can't speak, but my lord must have understood his intentions. Now only one city in Hebei is left with Mingzhou, and only one enemy in the Central Plains is left. At such a critical moment, how can the lord leave hastily?"

The generals and civil officials in the tent held their breath and did not even dare to breathe loudly. They all carefully peeked at Li Xian's face, but their hearts were like a drum. Changsun Wuji's words were indeed too much. In their opinion, it was indeed an extremely unwise move to arouse the lord's anger.

Li Xian's face gradually became gloomy. Looking at Changsun Wuji kneeling below, his shoulders trembling slightly. The tent became quiet and a little scary. Everyone couldn't help but feel trembling when they saw Li Xian's eyes. Although Li Xian had not yet burst out of anger, it had already made everyone feel like they were falling into an ice cave.

"Does the lord want to follow Yang Guang?"

Changsun Wuji was still stubborn and his tone became more disrespectful. As soon as he said this, everyone present took a breath of air conditioning.

"Okay! OK! OK!"

Li Xianlian said three good words, and the joints of his fingers were faintly white.

"Lord...rest."

Xu Shiji stepped out and leaned over and said, "Lord, Changsun Wuji is also thinking about the lord, and also thinking about the safety of the Tang Dynasty's country. Although the wording is inappropriate, it is rare to have loyalty..."

"Before the Lone said anything, you stood up and pleaded with mercy."

Li Xian snorted coldly, looked at Changsun Wuji kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Xu Shiji, who was hanging his head and dared not speak. He snorted coldly, and turned around and left. The dozens of generals in the tent looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.

"Go and invite everyone Ye and Miss Xiao Di to persuade the lord."

Someone whispered.

"Don't!"

Xu Shiji waved his hand: "If the lord knows, I'm afraid the lord will be even more angry."

He looked at Changsun Wuji and sighed, "Auxiliary machine... What's wrong with you today? You are the most mature and steadfast in your daily life, why are you impulsive today like a young boy! Alas... it's a little bit to dissuade your lord from going to the northern border, but today if you make your lord think that you and I will form gangs and generals in the army form cliques for personal gain, this matter is... big."

Changsun Wuji was stunned and shook his head: "Maogong, you shouldn't have stood up."

When the generals thought of this, they were all scared and sweated.

...

...

By the river, Li Xian leaned on the lounge chair and looked at the fish float in the water in a daze. However, his face was extremely calm and he looked a little angry. The fish float in the water suddenly jumped a few times, but he didn't take any action to carry the fish rod. The fish float floated heavily and floated in the water and finally floated up again. It was obvious that the fish had swallowed the bait and escaped.

Ye Huaixue, who was dressed in white, walked over with a few maids, and when he was more than ten steps away from Li Xian, he ordered the maids to leave, and walked slowly to Li Xian alone. He squatted down next to him, hugged his legs and leaned against him.

"Are you so angry today?"

she asked softly.

Li Xian reached out and rubbed Ye Huaixu's hair gently. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled: "I know I can't hide it from you, why do you come and test me?"

Ye Huaixue also smiled and said in a gentle tone: "Can't you make me stupid?"

Li Xian stood up with Ye Huaixue's hand and walked slowly to the riverside with his hands behind his back. He looked at the calm flowing river water, pondered for a while and said, "The generals in the army are proud of their achievements. This is not a good thing. They always have to beat them from time to time. Otherwise, there will be big trouble in the future. I don't want to do what I don't want to do."

"I would like to remind them first, so that I won't use this reason... I will form a clique for personal gain. I will say these four words after I really return to Chang'an. I don't know how many people cry and how many people die!"

"The world is determined, and there will always be many of them who hand over the military power. But after being led for a long time, no one is willing to give up the rights in their hands. You know... How tempting is the thing of rights for men? Let me remind them now, hoping that I can not make me too embarrassed in the future."

"Xu Shiji and Changsun Wuji are both smart people."

Ye Huaixue thought for a while and said, "After all, they understand what you mean."

"They naturally knew that I had arranged for them to do this. But I didn't expect that Changsun Wuji's words would be so insidious. This guy..."

"ah?"

Ye Huaixue let out a low voice, and his face finally changed a little.

"The generals in the army gather here. They are all generals who have experienced many battles. If they are released, everyone can stand alone. The world has decided that people from all over the world will send people to lead troops to conquer... But how long will it take? Ten or twenty years? I did this today, which only made them awake. When it comes to military withdrawal, it is still far from time to time."

"First make them worry and fear in their hearts. When they mobilize in the future, they will be glad as long as they do not seize their military power. If they do not hit them, the usual unconventional mobilization will also make them feel a lot of resentment."

"I don't quite understand."

Ye Huaixue finally realized that he had thought wrong at the beginning.

"After the world is settled, the old ministers who will lead the troops to guard all over the country will inevitably be the old ministers. After all, after following me for so long, they still need to use people. But if they hold heavy troops in one place for a long time, it is hard to guarantee that any weeds will not grow in their hearts. Once this weed sprouts, it will hurt their muscles and bones if they want to pull them out! It is not their muscles and bones, but the court... Since it has come to this day, how can I not consider it for the future?"

"Transfer Luo Yi into the northern part of the border, and then sent Li Daozong to lead his army to Zhuo County. The troops in Li Daozong were from Xue Wanche and Xu Shiji, which was already a reminder to them. If there was this drama today, they would naturally have some thoughts in their hearts. After returning to Chang'an, they would be assigned to guard all parties, but they would never take their troops with their headquarters. As I said just now, beat them first, if there are too many such things, they will be more likely to accept it. After all, no one will feel comfortable transferring the veterans whom they have used to."

"The soldiers who are stationed in one place should not be moved without any movement, but the generals still have to move. I think that in the future, the generals who lead the troops will be stationed in one place for no more than three years, they will be transferred in rotation."

Ye Huaixiu let out a long sigh, walked to Li Xian and whispered: "This is the gentlest way, they will understand sooner or later."

"The soldiers and generals who are fighting in the iron camp...the murderous auras of these veterans are too heavy. After returning to Chang'an, most of them will be put back to their hometowns to farm. The soldiers and generals should not be too familiar with them."

Li Xian sighed and said, "The way I can think of is indeed the gentlest."

Ye Huaixue nodded, stood beside Li Xian and looked at the direction he was looking and said softly: "After all, you still feel too much in your heart, and it's great to make arrangements in advance."

...

...

"Maogong, today I offended all the generals in the army! At this moment, I don't know how many people are scolding me!"

In Xu Shiji's tent, Changsun Wuji sighed and drank the wine in the cup. Xu Shiji smiled, walked to him and sat down, filling him with the wine glass again: "You are not a general in the army. After all, you have to choose a civil servant to do this. The lord asked you to do it, which is also a great trust in you."

"Speaking of this, now you and me are the only ones who know the lord's intentions, but fortunately you are there, otherwise I would have no place to pour out my bitterness."

"I'm afraid you don't know... it's my memorial."

Xu Shiji picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "It's not just the generals in the army, but it seems that some people in the court are becoming more and more unhonest now. Since the lord left Chang'an with confidence, why didn't he make any arrangements? Some people thought that the credit was great, but they got less, so they became more and more unwilling to accept it, so they wanted to take risks. Doing this drama today is also to lay some groundwork for killing people in the future. We can't let the people below say that the lord easily and hastily killed the heroes."

"who?"

Changsun Wuji was shocked and couldn't help asking.

"There are some unwilling ministers in the court, don't forget... There is an emperor in the palace who is unwilling to be slaughtered. It's just a bit ridiculous, but some people overestimate themselves."

“Who is it?”

"I can't say it, I can't say it."

Xu Shiji smiled, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

I just hope...it's better to die less.
