Chapter 2 Tiger Cub (Third Part Three) Li Xu is young. Although he has experienced many hardships, his mind is far from mature to the point of wisdom and peace. He once saw the heads of the robes being built into pagodas by the Goguryeo people in Liaodong, so in
It is inevitable that you will be blinded by hatred for a long period of time in your life, but the civil and military ideas of the Manchu Dynasty cannot be as extreme as those of young people. The Sui Dynasty's crusade against Goryeo was in the name of vilifying the people and crusading. If they blindly attack the enemy's territory,
Burning, killing and looting would make the entire Eastern Expedition lose its moral fulcrum, and the image of His Majesty the Sui Emperor as a saint and emperor would also collapse. Therefore, after Yu Shiji, more than a dozen civil servants soon came forward to oppose Li Xu's plan to burn down the other side's crops.
It is proposed that in order to ensure the reputation of a benevolent and righteous army, some people even firmly objected to handing over the important task of receiving the returning army to the hands of a "brutal and barbaric" butcher. However, the generals' view was exactly the opposite. They believed that since the dynasty was about to conduct the third East
If we conquer, we might as well cause greater damage in Goguryeo's country. The more crops burned before this retreat, the easier it will be to win the next Eastern Expedition.
The generals were not very interested in leading troops to meet Yu Wenshu. As Li Xu had thought before, this was a tasteless task. Leading a partial division into Liao. Even if the Eastern Expedition army was brought back safely, the credit would still belong to
Veteran General Yuwenshu, who leads 300,000 troops, will have to bear a lot of irrelevant responsibilities if something goes wrong along the way. He might even risk his own life on this mission.
The Chinese military tent became lively in an instant. The civil servants opposed the proposal and then opposed Li Xu as the general. The generals supported the proposal and then supported Li Xu to lead the army. Both sides held different opinions and argued endlessly.
"Okay, okay, the reinforcements will still be commanded by General Li Lang. Just don't do unnecessary killing and destruction. No matter what the specifics are, General Li Lang will do whatever it takes!" Yang Guang waved his hand, interrupting everyone's argument. He has always been kind.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he naturally could not clearly support Li Xu's proposal, but the sabotage action suggested by Li Xu was indeed a good method. Even if it was not to avenge the soldiers, it was also very effective in weakening the enemy's national power, so he
Simply choose to be in peace, neither affirming nor denying, and let Li Xu handle it at his own discretion.
Yu Shiji, the remonstrating doctor, had a "Bodhisattva" heart. After hearing Yang Guang's decision, he still opposed Li Xu leading the army. "Long live General Li, kill him..."
"Don't worry, Yu Aiqing. I will send him a supervisor named Shiji. You will follow General Li Lang this time. Give him more advice during the march and don't let him kill innocent people!" Yang Guang interrupted Yu Shiji with a smile.
advice
"Your Majesty, I respect your order!" Yu Wenshiji, who had been hiding behind all the civil servants, quickly stepped out of the queue and accepted the order happily.
"What's the matter? You two have discussed and decided to set out tonight with the army. I will order all the officials to cooperate with you in preparations!" Yang Guang looked at Li Xu, who was full of disappointment, and then at Yuwen Shiji, who was eager to try, and whispered.
"Yes, I respect your order!" Li Xu had no choice but to step forward to receive the order and let Yu Wenshiji serve as the supervisor. His Majesty the Emperor refuted his advice to burn the crops of the Goguryeo people, which disappointed the son-in-law of the current emperor.
With a forked tongue, Li Xu has never heard a comfortable word from his mouth since the two met.
Sure enough, just after leaving the Chinese military tent, Yu Wenshiji's sarcastic words were thrown at him, "Haha, General Li is indeed a good man who values love and justice. He doesn't give up on the wealth and wealth within his reach. He will never forget it.
But it is the uncle-nephew relationship with Mr. Tang! Hey, I just don’t know when Mr. Tang gave the general the armor, what he was thinking about was more family affection or more price! "
"As long as I don't think about the price, it will be fine!" Li Xu glanced at him and replied seriously, "I should repay the kindness of others with the recommendation of General Yongquan Yuwen, and Li will not forget it!
"
Tang Gong Li Yuan's gift of gold and armor must have been for the purpose of attracting people. Li Xu had already thought clearly about this after drinking. But at the same time, he clearly realized that without Li Yuan's exceptional promotion and recommendation, he would not be where he is today.
What others say, don’t give up on your own principles of being a human being
"Ha, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water! But I wonder if some people have lost their own future, what can they do to repay others?"
"The future will be discussed in the future. Now Li is trying his best to open up a way out for General Yuwen. This is the reward within his ability!" Li Xu knew that he couldn't win against Yuwen Shiji by bickering, so he simply pulled out the task at hand to parry the Eastern Expedition Army. The head coach of the Eastern Expedition Army was Yuwen Shiji.
Dad, he believes that no matter how clumsy this person is, he would not take his life as a joke.
As soon as these words came out, Yuwen Shiji's mouth was blocked. Although he was full of counterattacks, the Prince Consort was really afraid of annoying Li Xu, causing the other party to deliberately not work hard. He held it in for a long time.
Then he muttered and added: "I don't see what's good about Li Yuan. This big tree is obviously about to fall, but you still cling to it like a vine and don't let it dry!"
"If Li is a vine, he will naturally climb the branches early!" Li Xu smiled and replied lightly that he understood the intention of Yuwenshu and his son to win over each other. In the Sui Dynasty, the strength of the Yuwen family was far greater than that of the Li family.
He doesn't want to be a vine, and he doesn't want to live relying on the gifts of others. He wants to fight for his own sky. Maybe for various reasons, he is destined not to become a towering tree, but he can at least choose to be a weed, and he doesn't have to look at anything.
Human faces, weeds breathing freely in the sun
"General Li Lang has great ambitions!" Yuwen Shiji's words sounded more mocking than admiring.
Li Xu shrugged. If he didn't continue to quarrel with this person, the nephew of the Duke of Guo would never understand the thoughts of a civilian boy, just like he couldn't understand why he had to swear allegiance so that the Yuwen family and his son could feel at ease with him.
When Yu Wenshi saw that Li Xu was silent, he also lost the fun of bickering. At present, rescuing the Eastern Expedition army was more important. Those family disputes could be put behind his mind for the time being. His thoughts slowly got back on track and he was silent for a moment.
, asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what do I, the supervisor, need to do before departure?"
"Mobilize the war horses, as many as you can." Li Xu nodded and handed over the most difficult problem to Yuwen Shiji to deal with.
