"You think it's wrong to take credit, and you deserve the reward from the imperial court. Then have you thought about the soldiers who died in your residence? The money and food distributed by the imperial court is enough for their family to eat for a while, but it is not enough for their family.
Old snack all your life?
If you get more now, they can eat for a while longer."
Li Yuanji also knew Luo Shixin's temperament, so after quarreling with Luo Shixin, he began to persuade Luo Shixin with serious words.
Luo Shixin heard the family records of the fallen soldiers and fell into a struggle.
He may not care about himself, but he cannot leave the records of the soldiers who died in the battle.
"If you feel sorry for yourself, then go help bury the soldiers who died in Weize Pass. Even if you take credit, you will take part of their credit, not the court's credit. Do you understand?"
Li Yuanji said seriously.
Luo Shixin hesitated again and again, and finally nodded, "I still want to go to the wounded barracks to take care of the injured soldiers."
Although Luo Shixin was unwilling to take credit, Li Yuanji used the family records of the fallen soldiers in his house to argue the case, so he had no choice but to take credit.
Li Yuanji readily agreed.
As long as it can make Luo Shixin overcome the hurdle in his heart, as long as it can make Luo Shixin feel better, there is nothing wrong with it.
"I'll have someone bring you some food later, and you can distribute it to the families of the fallen soldiers."
Li Yuanji added another sentence when Luo Shixin was about to leave.
Luo Shixin said hurriedly: "How can this happen?"
Li Yuanji stared and said, "Why can't you do it? They are your brothers and our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They sacrificed their lives for the Tang Dynasty. As the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty, I shouldn't give some food to their families?"
Li Yuanji's words hold great righteousness.
Luo Shixin was convinced at once, "That minister... on behalf of all the brothers, I would like to thank His Highness."
Li Yuanji said boldly: "I am one of my own, so there is no need to thank you."
Luo Shixin nodded, said nothing more, and left in a hurry.
He had no objection to Li Yuanji calling him one of his own.
Ever since he knew that Li Yuanji had declared in public that he would be one of Prince Qi's men, he showed no sign of disgust and didn't even say anything.
Perhaps Li Yuanji made a decision in his heart from the moment he rushed to Mingshui City and saved him and his brothers.
Or maybe he never cared about things like kings and ministers, masters and servants. The only thing that could hold him back was friendship.
After Luo Shixin left, Li Yuanji inspected the various newly built thatched cottages and expressed his opinions on the thatched cottages in front of the county captains sent by the counties around Weizeguan.
After realizing this, he left majestically.
Li Yuanji is actually very busy these days, and inspecting the thatched cottage is just some time he takes out from his busy schedule.
The three unified army mansions that had just been built in the mansion suffered more than 60% casualties in the battle at Weize Pass.
How to show merit to the soldiers, how to care for the fallen soldiers, and how to revitalize the unified military government all require his care.
Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang are both sick and injured now and should not work hard. All the officials in the family are staying in Luoyang, so many things require his personal attention.
While Li Yuanji was busy processing various government documents, news of the victory at Weizeguan also spread throughout the country.
The first person to get the news was Li Xiuning, who had already arrived in Jinyang.
Li Xiuning led a group of soldiers and horses, and traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Jinyang. Seeing that they would arrive at Weize Pass in a few days, they saw a horseman coming from Weize Pass.
When Li Xiuning saw the horse, she almost fell off the horse.
The first thought in her mind was, 'How could Sanhu be so stupid this time and why didn't he escape? If you escaped, Sanhu, would your father still be able to hold you accountable?'
Li Xiuning felt that Weize Pass might have been lost.
Li Yuanji was either killed or captured, and this ride was here to report the bad news.
"Great victory at Weizeguan! Su Ding, the third army from the left of the Prince of Qi's Mansion, killed Liu Heita with his phalanx!"
"A great victory at Weizeguan! Xie Shufang, the commander on the left of Prince Qi's palace, broke into the camp alone and killed Tuli Khan Langtouzhu!"
"Great victory at Weizeguan! His Royal Highness the King of Qi led the army to repel the Turkic army of 200,000 people!"
"..."
When the cavalry on horseback started shouting, Li Xiuning's head buzzed and exploded.
There was no thought at all in his mind, he just sat on the horse in a daze.
He Panren, Xiang Shanyi, Qiu Shili and other Li Xiuning's subordinates looked confused.
"What?! What's going on?"
Qiu Shili shouted subconsciously.
Xiang Shanyi said in a daze: "It was said that the King of Qi had a great victory. He killed Liu Heitai, chopped off Tuli's wolf-headed sword, and forced back the Turkic army of 200,000..."
"impossible!"
He Panren came back to his senses and spoke without hesitation.
How many jins and taels the King of Qi had was unknown to everyone in the Tang Dynasty.
It is incredible that the King of Qi did not lead a group of people under his command to abandon the pass and escape when the Turkic army pressed on the territory.
Can the King of Qi still defend Weize Pass, repel the Turks, kill Liu Heita, and cut off the Turk Khan's wolf head in the midst of the Turks' 200,000-strong army?
Who would believe it?
Who dares to believe it?
"But...that's what Chuanjie's brother calls him."
I don’t believe in goodness and righteousness either.
But that's what the cavalry on horseback shouted.
This kind of thing is so outrageous that no one dares to lie about it.
"Catch the person and question him carefully!"
He Panren spoke without hesitation.
Qiu Shili hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Seeing this, Xiang Shanyi was ready to send people to arrest him.
Li Xiuning came back to her senses at this time, and her mind was filled with thoughts.
Her first thought was that Weize Pass might have been breached by the Turks, and Li Yuanji might have been captured by the Turks. Under the coercion of the Turks, Li Yuanji had to help the Turks and confuse them.
The second idea is that Li Yuanji was flanked by the Turks and Liu Heita and was in a dilemma. He had no choice but to sacrifice Weize Pass to the Turks and in order to survive, he offered to help the Turks confuse them.
In short, she had countless thoughts in her mind, none of which were good.
Because her impression of Li Yuanji was still in the past, she stubbornly believed that Li Yuanji could not defend Weize Pass.
Not to mention Li Yuanji, even she and her second brother Li Shimin may not be able to defend Weize Pass with 20,000 troops under the attack of the Turks' 200,000 troops.
"No rudeness."
Li Xiuning spoke slowly and stopped using violence against Shanyi and others.
Li Xiuning had a gloomy face, took a deep breath and said: "Invite people over, I want to ask them carefully."
Xiang Shanyi hurriedly agreed and sent someone to invite the cavalry on horseback.
When a cavalryman on horseback appeared in front of Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning frowned and asked, "Who are you and what position do you hold in the army?"
The slightly childish cavalryman on the horse saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, I am humble enough to pay you a salary and longevity, but I am the marriage minister of the Prince of Qi."
Li Xiuning's eyes lingered on Fu Lushou for a moment, and he said with a cold face: "According to the military regulations of the Tang Dynasty, when each ministry reports a victory, there should be a messenger from each ministry, carrying a red flag and hanging a Taiping plaque at the waist.
You are not a military messenger, and you do not have the Red Order Flag or the Taiping Plaque.
Who can believe your words?
Who dares to believe it?”
Li Xiuning spoke with a stern voice and a look of fear at the end.
Fu Lushou was startled and said quickly: "Your Highness, my Highness informed everyone about the military situation and sent out all the messengers. He rushed to Chang'an, but the messengers from various places in Mingzhou have not returned yet.
The messenger who rushed to you went back, but was sent to Chang'an by my Highness.
My Highness really has no messenger available, so I asked the humble minister to come and report the victory to His Highness."
Li Xiuning stared at Fu Lushou coldly, "What about the Chiling Banner and Taiping Pai?"
Fu Lushou smiled bitterly and said: "My humble position is not that of a messenger. I don't have the Red Order Flag or the Taiping Plaque."
The Chi Ling Banner and the Tai Ping Pai are very important things.
Especially the Taiping Pai, which means that people can travel unimpeded throughout the Tang Dynasty. Whenever they encounter a pass, the defenders at the pass must open the door as soon as possible to let them pass.
So the management is extremely strict.
Only messengers will be distributed, and they are bound to the head.
The messenger cannot deliver anything to anyone unless he kills someone and captures the flag.
"Then how can I believe your words?"
Li Xiuning asked.
Fu Lushou hesitated for a moment and said: "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Weize Pass to check. See if what I said is comfortable.
My Highness sent a humble post to report the victory to His Highness because he was worried that His Highness would be overly worried and hurt his mind."
Logically speaking, there is no need to tell Li Xiuning about reporting victory. Just send a message to Li Yuan immediately, and what you will send to other places is just a document.
Li Yuanji specially sent someone to tell Li Xiuning because he was worried about something unexpected happening to Li Xiuning in a hurry.
Of course, Li Yuanji also has his own little thoughts.
That is because he wants to publicize the achievements of Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang to everyone, so that Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang can come to people as soon as possible and become his right-hand man.
"You said that your Highness beheaded Liu Heita, chopped off the wolf-headed robe of the Turkic Khan, and forced the Turks back. How did he do it?"
Fu Lushou did not rush to urge Li Xiuning to go to Weize Pass. Instead, he asked Li Xiuning to send someone to Weize Pass to check first. This made Li Xiuning have some doubts in his heart.
If Li Yuanji was really caught, he would not dare to let her send someone to check if he cooperated with the Turks to confuse her.
baimengshu
Li Xiuning mentioned the battle at Weizeguan, and Fu Lushou immediately became energetic.
Immediately, Fu Lushou told Li Xiuning everything that happened in Weize Pass.
Only the incident of Li Yuanji showing great power and throwing a pillar of fire on Guancheng was hidden.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but Li Yuanji has already divided his credit among the soldiers, so it's hard to say.
After listening to Fu Lushou's story, Li Xiuning was stunned again.
He Panren and others were also confused.
"You said that the surrendered general that His Highness King Qi had just recruited led a thousand cavalry to break through Liu Heitai's camp, and then led fifty cavalry to chase him for more than thirty miles. Among thousands of thieves, he beheaded Liu Hei.
