It is said that in late spring, in March, the grass grows and orioles fly.
That undoubtedly refers to the south. Just like I don’t know who cuts the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors, this kind of season has nothing to do with the north.
In early February in Shanxi, the ice and snow have not yet melted. Even the warm spring breeze in the south seems to be blocked by the Yellow River, and the biting north wind is still raging in the sky in Shanxi.
February is not a suitable weather for raising troops to fight in the north. Most battles will not take place until the end of March, and at that time spring plowing must be taken into account.
Therefore, generals who lead troops in battles all year round know very well that May to July is a good time to send troops to fight, because there is still the autumn harvest waiting behind.
Of course, this is talking about local wars where princes attack each other. If the Central Plains Empire is unified, there will be no such strict restrictions.
But then again, now that the heads of the princes in the world are almost crazy, who will care so much? Not to mention spring plowing and autumn harvest, the wars in the past few years, even in the depth of winter, the big guys are not busy
The fighting stopped and they faced each other.
The right time, right place, right people and good people have all been forgotten.
Li Tang, his father and son Xue Ju, and Xiao Mian from the south had been entangled for two or three years. The two grass-head kings in Henan were even more entangled, and the fight around Dacang in Luoyang was fierce.
The rebel armies in Shandong and Hebei are resisting the official army and annexing each other at the same time. This has been going on for nearly seven or eight years...
The heroes not only destroyed the foundation of Sui Dynasty's rule, they destroyed almost everything that could be destroyed.
In fact, they can proudly say that the conflict between Chu and Han is nothing, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is nothing, the Three Kingdoms and the subsequent wars in the late Jin Dynasty are just that, we are no worse than them.
And it's even worse.
Li Po was actually no longer noble at the moment. He raised troops in February, which would definitely have an impact on this year's spring plowing. Compared with the war with Li Tang, spring plowing and other things must be moved to the back.
According to his most perfect idea, that is to rush all the way across the Yellow River to rob the Yongfeng warehouse. Then all the problems of spring plowing and not spring plowing can be easily solved.
Just like when he led his people to Youzhou, Hebei Province to rob Luo Yi, and then moved the people of Youzhou to fill Daizhou, his methods were not half inferior to those of those heroes.
The army flowed through Xia County without any hindrance. Under the banner of the Chinese Army Commander, Li Po looked at the Xia County town that had been turned into scorched earth. Just like when he went all the way to Liaodong, he didn't have much compassion for the world. He just felt that these people
You have a full meal and nothing to do, so what are you fussing over?
In fact, Lu Chongmao was not the only one who was messing around. Soon, a monk was brought to Li Poma.
Monk Huiyuan, who came to see Li Po while hiding among the ruins with his face covered in black and gray, brought another question from another guy who was messing around.
"The general conspired with me and worked together for a great cause. He should have listened to my orders and acted. Now he has raised his troops to attack without authorization. Where do you want to leave me alone? Furthermore, it is cold in February, which is not conducive to the expedition. There is the Yellow River in front of us. And
If there is no self-response, the time, place, and people are not the same as the general, how unwise..."
"How can the general lead the army back? When both sides have planned properly, move westward, and achieve great things, my lord will never forget the general's merits..."
Li Po laughed as he listened. Look at this tone. The man from the Dugu family is still dreaming of sweet dreams. What kind of mental state is this.
A few months were enough for Li Po to find out the details about Dugu Huaien.
This is undoubtedly a standard prodigal son. As the direct son of the Dugu family, he is related to Li Yuan and Yang Guang by marriage. Yang Guang is not good to him, but he does not lack anything. Li Yuan is really good to him.
Even though this guy failed in everything he did, he still rose through the ranks and became Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Now he is the one guarding Yongfeng Okura.
How should I put it, Li Po felt that he had met a lot of different people along the way, but in his eyes, Dugu Huai'en was still a very unique person.
Because he had no way of understanding what this person was thinking. Just like Liu Chaozong before, Li Po used empathy to measure it, and finally had to admit that he couldn't put himself in his place.
Moreover, I heard that this member of the Dugu family was also very greedy for money. However, with such a family background, he could still have a reputation of being stingy. Li Po was also puzzled.
Li Po has seen many aristocrats these days, some good and bad in talent, big and small in ambition, high and low in posture, and so on, but he has never seen a few who are greedy for money.
Maybe he saw that Li Po was a little distracted, so he thought he was being moved. Maybe it was because the army was surrounding him and he was so murderous that he felt that this was not a place where Buddhists would stay for a long time. He just wanted to finish his words and leave quickly.
here……
No matter what he thought, before Li Po could reply, he continued, "I heard that Queen Xiao returned south and has arrived in Jinyang... My lord and the empress have a long history and have a deep friendship. I would like to ask the general to send the empress south.
My lord, I might as well take the opportunity to pay my respects..."
Seeing the monk hesitantly speaking, with a sinister look on his face, Li Po felt a fishy smell coming to his face. Is this a lustful problem besides greed for money?
How do you ask us to answer your words? There is no gap at all.
Li Po, who had always felt that he was a decent person, was now a little speechless.
So he smiled habitually showing his white teeth, and a white crack suddenly appeared on the monk's dark face, which looked a bit funny.
The army flowed through the wilderness like a torrent, and did not hesitate because of the pause of the commander's flag of the central army. Tonight, the front army of the army would arrive at Puban City and camp there overnight, waiting for the arrival of the central army and the rear army.
arrive.
In other words, tomorrow morning, the entire army will be able to gather in one place, attack Pu Ban first, and then see if they can cross the river and fight...
And once the army moves, how can it return because of mere words? Many times, even if the leading generals know that there is a trap waiting in front, they will not easily issue military orders to withdraw their troops. They always try to see if they can destroy the trap.
, then pull out the hunter and beat him up.
If the leader of the army doesn't even have this energy and determination, he might as well go home and rest as soon as possible.
In other words, how can I explain it easily if I go back without getting any benefits?
Moreover, the reasons given by the monk are the same as the previous ones. They only care about themselves. When it comes to Li Po, they are pure nonsense.
"Go back and tell Dugu Shangshu that next time you come to see us, you'd better mention the heads of Mr. Li and his son, otherwise..."
Li Po glanced at the monk casually, "You bald head will be sent to Dugu Shangshu... Well, by the way, tell Dugu Shangshu that we are not the lackeys of Dugu's family, and we have not married Dugu.
Why should my daughter work with him in a great cause?"
Having said this, Li Po smiled even more happily, "We don't have much time left. Today I will take Pu Ban first, and the next day I will attack Chang'an City. Dugu Shangshu needs to be faster."
After that, Li Po said nothing more, waved his hand and said: "Come here, send this monk back. If anything happens, throw him into the Yellow River to feed the fish."
The monk was horrified and looked at Li Po in disbelief. For such a fake monk who was of humble origin and was obsessed with Fulongting, it was also difficult to understand that except for a handful of wealthy people in the world, who could be higher than him?
Who from the Dugu family can refuse the invitation of the Dugu family?
Dugu Huaien himself could not stir up much excitement in this troubled world, he only had a lot of wishful thinking, and the monk as a slave was actually insignificant.
But they themselves were not aware of it, and they suddenly plunged into this chaotic whirlpool, and their final outcome was already foreseeable.
The monk was carried away, and Li Po thought for a moment. If he had the intention to make good use of Dugu Huaien a few months ago, maybe it would bring a lot of benefits at the right time.
Now, he felt that the children of the Dugu family were too capable of succeeding but failing, so they might be taken advantage of by the second son of the Li family, who could just use the opportunity to stab him, Li Po.
In other words, Dugu Huaien is too confused and confused, as if he doesn't know what he is doing. In his opinion, the value of using it is getting lower and lower, and it will lead to a lot more risks.
As his eyes rolled around, Li Po casually called Zhang Jin, "Send that monk to Li Shimin and make it more decent. Don't leave the head and tail behind."
Li Po here turned around and sold Dugu Huaien...
Of course, in addition to the disgust for the too stupid Duguzi and the previous considerations, there is also his inherent bad taste at play.
In fact, he had always wanted to see how big the famous Li Yuan was.
Jiang Yuyi, who was put back before, was a small test. Li Yuan was indeed worthy of being a "virtuous master" and preferred to pardon defeated generals.
This time, let’s give another one that’s substantial enough to see how Li Yuan will deal with this cousin who has a prominent status but is also very dishonest.
In fact, in Li Po's view, Li Yuan, who had unclear rewards and punishments, seemed to be much easier to deal with than he imagined. He was even vaguely aware that everything that had happened or was about to happen in Chang'an City was inevitable because Li Yuan sent his army to occupy Xijing.
The price paid.
It is true that the place attracts the attention of the world, but it also gathers too many nobles and nobles. As long as Li Po thinks about some of the bad things he encountered in Jinyang, he can empathize with Li Yuan's situation...
Therefore, he doesn't mind giving Li Yuan more headaches. Unless he has a suitable excuse, he actually wants to put back Li Shentong and others in Jinyang Prison. Best of all, he can also replace his father-in-law. Then
But it couldn't be more wonderful.
As a result, his increasingly majestic and profound gaze turned to the west again. If he could catch Li Er, haha...
Well, he may have some of Dugu Huaien's madness at the moment, and he is a bit whimsical.
