Chapter 141 Kick off the old coach's leg
Wu Xukuan was the successor to the position of Marshal Li Guangshan at that time, and the relationship between the two was naturally extraordinary.
But now, the two of them are strangers and have not seen each other for many years.
Moreover, at least one thing can be guaranteed, that is, Li Guangshan has never supported Wu Xukuan's desire to rebel and usurpate the country, at least not yet. He has always been trying his best to stay out of it, and he does not allow his children and grandchildren to participate.
"Eunuch Zhou, it won't bother you anymore. My grandson is not that capable and cannot take on a great responsibility!" Li Guangshan refused.
It would be strange if he didn't refuse, because Zhou An hadn't cured his legs yet.
So he is not saying his refusal now.
On the lake far away, Li Ping, who waved the bright silver horse spear out of thousands of lights and shadows, suddenly stopped. He put his spear and stood up, looked towards the lakeside, and then walked towards him.
Xu Kaitai, who was standing not far away from him, immediately walked over, stopped Li Ping, looked at the lake with Li Ping, and whispered something.
The secret conversation between Zhou An and Li Guangshan was naturally not allowed to be listened to by others.
No one can do it!
The lakeside was quiet for a while.
"Old coach, you have heard of the war in the northern border a while ago..." Zhou An picked up the conversation and said.
"When I was sensational, I naturally knew... Dong Weiwu was really a pampered person. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Army were trained by him to become a group of candids, and he was beaten by tens of thousands of enemies. The national humiliation! This is the national humiliation!" Li Guangshan became more and more angry as he spoke, and finally he stucked the crutches in his hand a few times.
"Then Dong Weiwu is indeed incompetent. The main responsibility for the defeat in the northern border is him. If he had the three-month responsibility of the old general, it would not have been like this!" Zhou An sighed.
"Don't say that he has a lot of money. As long as he does his best and knows people well, the Northern Xinjiang will not be defeated like this, alas!"
"What the old coach said is... By the way, our family has heard that the Beirong had been in conflict in the past few years. It was not until recent years that it became unified again, and even expanded its territory and occupied the western part of the Beirong, that is, to the northwest of our Dongqian Dynasty. Many small countries have destroyed their countries due to the invasion of the Beirong. The most contribution to this matter is Wusun Qili, who is known as the "God of the Beirong Army". Now the King of Northern Rong Khan has been crowned as the King of the South Court!"
Zhou An said this and turned his head to look at Li Guangshan: "This time the enemy invaded our northern border. Although Wusun Qili did not lead the troops personally, it is rumored that this matter was planned by him..."
Li Guangshan's eyebrows were beating and his face turned a little dark.
He didn't want to hear that name!
Wusun starts its power!
Because Li Guangshan's left leg was interrupted by Wusun's power...
It was more than twenty years ago. Beirong launched a massive invasion war against Dongqian. The Northern Rong army Shen Wusun Qi led 200,000 troops to invade Dongqian territory. Within a few days, it swept across the entire northern border. A month later, it broke through Yuxing Pass, the largest northern pass in Dongqian, and drove straight into the capital.
The situation was very critical at that time. Li Guangshan, who was the Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army at that time, was appointed by Emperor Xuanzong as the Grand Marshal of Zhenbei, and allowed him to command all the troops in the north, including the Zhongzhou Army, and be fully responsible for the war with the Beirong.
Li Guangshan was also known as the God of Military Affairs at that time. His ability to dispatch troops and generals was indeed the best in command of Dongqian, and he could even be said to be superb... Although Dongqian's army was already useless due to corruption and other problems, Li Guangshan still relied on his military strength to fight with the 200,000 Beirong cavalry for half a year when there was no natural danger to defend in the north of Dongqian.
In that little half a year, the enemy troops of Beirong had never approached Zhongzhou, and even the northernmost natural dangerous Sichuan River, the river in Zhongzhou, had never approached it. The battlefield scope was always limited by Li Guangshan to many states north of the Sichuan River.
Just half a year after the Beirong launched the war of aggression, problems arose within the Beirong Empire, and a civil war broke out. Wusun Qili had to withdraw his troops, and even needed the cities he had occupied.
They were dragged down by Li Guangshan.
According to the original plan of the Beirong Empire, they wanted to fight under the capital within three months. Even if they could not fight against the capital, they would still fight to the Chuan River and occupy the entire north of the Dongganchuan River. However, they failed, but instead devoted their national strength to the point where the country was dragged down and caused chaos in their own country.
Speaking of which, the war that lasted for nearly five months ended with Donggan's victory.
But just on the eve of the Beirong enemy retreat!
The enemy commander Wusun Qili personally led a surprise soldier, with three thousand cavalrymen, secretly marched for three days, and took a detour of more than a thousand miles, and attacked the camp of the Northern Army headquarters where Li Guangshan was located.
In fact, it was impossible for the Beirong to retreat at that time. There was no chance of a turnaround. If they did not retreat, they would not get support from the Beirong country. The civil strife in the Beirong could not be resolved... If they did not retreat, not only the invading troops who lacked support would die in the Donggan country, and the Beirong Empire might also be divided.
So I had to withdraw.
But Wusun launched a surprise attack.
He had only one purpose, which was to kill the Donggan military god Li Guangshan before returning to his country!
And he almost did it!
Li Guangshan broke his leg on the night when Wusun Qili led his troops to attack... That year, Li Guangshan was 67 years old and Wusun Qili was 44 years old.
...
Zhou An and Li Guangshan talked a lot about the war in the northern border, and he repeatedly mentioned the name Wusun Qili!
It is purely to stimulate Li Guangshan.
Wusun Qili is still the God of the Northern Rong army, and he has a status of less than one person in Beirong. It has been twenty-one for Li Guangshan to break his legs for twenty-one years. When he first broke his legs, it took more than half a year. The court was looking for famous doctors in the world to treat his legs, but they failed. After that, Li Guangshan retired.
If Li Guangshan could feel comfortable in this contrast, this contrast, he would be a damn.
The two have been talking about the matter in northern Xinjiang for half an hour.
"Old coach, what do you think of Wu Xukuan...?" Zhou An suddenly changed his voice and asked.
Li Guangshan was silent for a moment, looked at Zhou An with a serious expression, and then looked ahead and said, "Everyone has high civil and military skills, but as a minister, he has no loyalty or righteousness and is too ambitious, which is not a blessing for the country."
What Li Guangshan said can be called "objective". He did not scold Wu Xukuan angrily, but did not say anything good to Wu Xukuan.
"Then... the old coach thinks, what does Prince Ning think?" Zhou An asked again.
There seems to be no connection between these two questions. It is normal for Zhou An to ask Wu Xukuan, but suddenly he asked Prince Ning, which made him a little strange.
Of course, Li Guangshan knew that Prince Ning was the former crown prince Wu Yunsheng.
He still looked serious and pondered for a while before saying, "I am mediocre and useless!"
Really dare to say it!
But he was right. Wu Yunsheng was indeed a fool. He had been the prince for more than 40 years. His foundation was so deep that Emperor Xuanzong had always supported him. However, after Emperor Xuanzong passed away, he still had never played Queen Xiaodu. This was not a fool.
Zhou An felt that Li Guangshan had a bad impression of Prince Ning.
"Yes, Prince Ning is indeed mediocre and incompetent. If he was letting him become an emperor, it would be not a blessing for the country, nor for the people of the world..." Zhou An said boldly.
Li Guangshan glanced at Zhou An and said, "Beforefather, be careful of his words. It's better not to mention the matters of Emperor Shendu..."
In fact, it was not that he did not let Zhou An say that, but that he did not want to discuss this matter with Zhou An.
And he obviously understood Zhou An's meaning wrongly.
"Old coach, what we are talking about is not what we were talking about more than ten years ago." Zhou An looked into the distance and said lightly: "What we are talking about is that Prince Ning has colluded with Wu Xukuan and is on the way to the capital secretly! Wu Xukuan is afraid that he will support him as the new emperor and replace him with the emperor..."
What Zhou An seemed to say indifferently was a thunder sound!
The lakeside suddenly became quiet.
Zhou An glanced at Li Guangshan's expression, and could not see anything. Li Guangshan still had such a serious expression. Judging from Li Guangshan's mind and cunning, it was normal that Zhou An could not see it. Li Guangshan had never experienced anything. He had been able to make the landslide before without changing his expression.
However, he suddenly became silent, proving that he was not calm inside.
"Collectively rebellion..." Li Guangshan suddenly spoke, dragged his long voice and said in a heavy voice: "It's time to kill!"
At this moment, Li Guangshan was really murderous.
Zhou An "sees" and gets it.
He didn't say specifically who should be killed, and Wu Xukuan and Prince Ning colluded with each other.
However, the meaning has arrived.
This can be regarded as a statement. Li Guangshan will not stand on Wu Xukuan's side.
"Old Sir, you have been resting for so many years, don't you want to move?" Zhou An said everything he should say, and finally got to the point. "Today, Dongqian, let's not talk about natural disasters, let's talk about man-made disasters, there are corruption inside... Wu Xukuan controls the government, causing trouble to the court, intends to steal the country, and there are many enemies outside, sharpening his sword, treating Dongqian as a lamb to be slaughtered, internal and external troubles, and the building is about to collapse. At this time, a capable man like Laos is needed to stand up and turn the tide into an instant... As the saying goes, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and a real man is just right..."
"Eunuch Zhou, don't go around with me."
Li Guangshan interrupted Zhou An and said, "I will tell you directly that it is not that I don't want to stand up, but that my broken leg has dragged me down... If you really have the ability to cure my leg, I can make a vow with you to do my best to help the emperor clear the court and kill the traitors and traitors!"
"Okay!" Zhou An shouted OK.
"You may cure my broken leg?" Li Guangshan turned his head and looked at Zhou An and asked again.
"Yes!" Zhou An nodded.
“How long does it take?”
"Now, right now!"
"Now? Right now?"
"If the old coach can trust our family, our family can now treat the old coach. Although the process is painful, the old coach only needs to endure one or two and... witness the miracle!"
"Can you cure it now?" Li Guangshan disbelief and asked again.
"Yes, it's possible now!" Zhou An nodded with certainty.
"How to treat it?" Li Guangshan asked again.
Zhou An and Li Guangshan talked about how to treat it.
On the lake in the distance.
Li Pingzheng whispered to Xu Kaitai, and their eyes occasionally glanced at the two figures by the lake in the south.
Zhou An and Li Guangshan were talking all the time.
Sudden!
Zhou An moved!
He suddenly raised his foot and kicked Li Guangshan on the knee of his left leg, directly kicking the leg out of several bends.
Chapter completed!
