Chapter 5 Return (seven times) "At this time, most of the generals he had left who could fight were killed in the battle, and there were not many advisers left. Even a coward like Wei Fusi had escaped secretly, and he had no strategist.
, and he has no good generals, how can he still be the opponent of General Qu?" Yu Wenshu replied with a smile, with a bit of pride in his voice.
Wei Fusi once served as a scholar in Zhongshushe and was known as a wise man. Yang Xuangan trusted him extremely and asked him for advice on almost all major matters. Now even Wei Fusi has abandoned Yang Xuangan. It is obvious that the soldiers within the rebel army have become disloyal.
When several groups of officers and soldiers converged at one place, the rebels would surely be annihilated.
"Since he doesn't have the strength to fight, why does he still stay at Luoyang City waiting for us to meet up?" Li Xu stood up, lightly drew a circle on the map with his finger, and asked
Wei Wensheng's headquarters is currently located due north of Luoyang, Qu Tutong's headquarters is north-west of Luoyang, and Fan Zigai covered up the main force of the court in Luoyang City from the southeast after breaking through the Yishui River. Yang Xuangan's rebels are the turtles in the urn. Yu Wenshu
The intention of the battle is very clear. Anyone who pays a little attention can clearly see that Bai Yang Xuangan is not a fool, and he will not sit under Luoyang City and wait for the army to encircle him.
In just a moment, Yu Wenshu understood what Li Xu wanted to express. He immediately stood up and walked to the sheepskin map with three steps and two steps at a time. "General Li has such good eyesight. No wonder my son keeps praising you." He pointed at the words with his fingers.
Li Xu repeatedly measured the area he circled while praising his expression, just like a loving father praising his son.
"I was just making random guesses. I don't know if it's correct!" Li Xu took half a step back and answered modestly. Finally, he received another face-to-face compliment from Yu Wenshu, and he couldn't help but feel a bit proud in his heart.
"If you were Yang Xuangan, in which direction would you escape!" After a few measurements, Yu Wenshu completely agreed with Li Xu's idea, turned around and consulted very solemnly
"I will break out of the encirclement in reverse direction and attack Chang'an!" Li Xu thought for a moment and replied in a low voice that Li Zixiong would not spend such a huge price to break up the enemy just to let Yang Xuangan escape to the mountains to become a bandit. He must want to achieve a bigger goal.
This is like doing business. After paying the price, you just want to get the reward. The only thing worth Li Zixiong's sacrifice is Chang'an City, which was the capital of the Sui Dynasty. At present, most of the defenders were taken to Luoyang by Wei Wensheng.
As long as Yang Xuangan successfully breaks through the encirclement nearby and rushes to Chang'an City before the army can react, half of his goal will be achieved. If Yang Xuangan is lucky enough to capture Chang'an, the ordnance and food in the city can quickly increase the rebels' combat effectiveness.
, Li Zixiong, who is responsible for attracting the main force of the imperial court, no matter how high the price is, the gain is worth it. Moreover, once the capital of the Sui Dynasty was lost, the world would be shaken. By then, rebellions would break out, and the government and army could not care about this side but that side.
, but gave Yang Xuangan a chance to breathe.
Thinking of this, Li Xu was so shocked that he completely gave up his guard against Yu Wenshu, and urgently suggested: "Just in case, the last general suggested that the old general quickly send a troop of troops to bypass the eastern capital and block the rebels in the west.
On the way forward, the defenders of Chang'an are all near Dongdu. If the rebels are really desperate and jump over the wall..."
"Yes, yes, that would be really bad!" Yu Wenshu suddenly laughed secretly, as if he had picked up some big deal, his eyes narrowed completely, "Who can we send?"
Which soldiers and horses are so fast?"
"The final wish..." Li Xu clasped his hands and wanted to take the initiative to invite an independent cavalry from the Yingxiong Military Camp to quickly bypass the east capital and march westward. Even if he could not block Yang Xuangan's path, he could scare him away from attacking Chang'an.
Halfway through, he suddenly realized that there was something else in Yu Wenshu's smile. It was definitely not a smile because he had seen through the enemy's conspiracy, but like an old wolf, cornering his determined prey.
"The old man didn't come to me today just to discuss military affairs?" Xuzi suddenly realized that the hairs on his back stood up all of a sudden. He first used to discuss military affairs to make people relax their vigilance, and then used the things that people were most concerned about as bait to make people
He completely lost his guard, and what followed was definitely a fatal blow, leaving no trace. The old man was too good at hurting others, and he was no match for him.
While he was nervous, Xu Zi heard Yu Wenshu say with a faint smile, "Actually, General Li and his Xiongwuying cavalry are the best candidates to intercept and kill the rebels. Long live once promised to kill Yang Xuangan and make Wanhu a marquis, General Li. I'm all
I want to congratulate you in advance!"
"I don't know what the old general means by this! I just want to eliminate traitors for the country, and I didn't think about personal wealth beforehand!" Li Xu tried his best to calm down and answered.
So far, Yu Wenshu has not made a killing move. She cannot mess up her position in front of him. No matter what, she has to give it a try today. Otherwise, if she encounters a strong opponent and gives way, she will never be able to dominate the Sui army.
Xuzi encouraged herself in her heart, raised her head, and built a line of defense with a smile.
Yu Wenshu only used a few words to knock Xu Zi's defense line to pieces. "But I'm a little worried about letting you lead the troops to chase Yang Xuangan alone. I heard that Yang Ji, Yang Xuangan's marching director, is yours."
My mentor, you caught him outside Liyang City, but you secretly let him go!"
"How could he know?" Li Xu responded silently, feeling a stream of sweat dripping down his forehead. No wonder no matter how he promoted his cronies and secured military power in the Xiongwu Camp, Yu Wenshi and Shi Ji didn't care. It turned out that their father and son had something hidden in their hands.
A one-hit kill!
Let the disciples who are close to the rebels lead the troops to hunt down the rebels alone. Even if His Majesty the Emperor is here, he will not give me such trust. Li Xu stared at Yu Wenshu, his scalp was exploding, his soles were cold, and his eyes were almost on fire.
He appeared out of nowhere and was defeated with just one move. He was unwilling to lose, but there was nothing he could do about it.
If Yuwenshu called his soldiers in at this time, Xuzi knew that he would not dare to resist. There had never been a traitor in the Li family. He could not insult the reputation of his ancestors. The only thing that could protect him at the moment was the immunity gold medal given by the emperor. But he was released privately.
The rebels committed this crime. I wonder if it can be offset by a gold medal.
"Ahem, you are a young man who is good at everything, but you do things without considering the consequences." Seeing that he had completely gained the upper hand, Yuwen Shu turned around with a smile. When he passed by Li Xu, he patted the other party's shoulder lightly and then said to him easily.
Sit down on the chair, contented
The young man in front of him contains a power that is like fascination. Since the old man is unable to use this power, the Yuwen family has no choice but to change its original intention again.
"Actually, this matter is big or small. You respect your teacher and repay a favor with a spring of water. This quality is very suitable for me! I like it!" Yu Wenshu crossed his legs and smiled on his face.
, the other side of the face showed a strong murderous intent.
"He wants to make a deal with me!" Xuzi, who recovered from the sudden blow, understood the hidden meaning of Yuwenshu's words, "He still wants to conquer me and work for the Yuwen family. If I obey, I can take him with me."
Xiongwuying went to hunt down Yang Xuangan and was granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu!"
"But I have nothing to give!" The sweaty Xuzi calculated his own capital. He found that he actually had nothing. He thought he could control Xiongwuying. As a result, the secret that only a few people knew fell to Yuwen.
Now in the hands of Yuwen Shu and his son, he felt that he had become the poor boy who had just left Yixian County. He had nothing but dignity, and dignity could not be sold. He could bow to Yu Wenshu, but if he bows his head for a long time, he will inevitably become
Hunchback
Yuwenshu watched the changes in Xuzi's eyes and expressions with great interest. He envied such vivid faces and eyes. It seemed that he had never had such vivid eyes and faces before, even before the stroke. He suddenly couldn't bear it.
I feel that I should listen to my son's advice and put the young man in front of me aside. But this fleeting kindness was quickly overwhelmed by the interests of the family. The young man at the moment is very powerful. If the Yuwen family cannot get his allegiance, they will definitely not stay.
Although he may not become a threat to the Yuwen family in the future, "people will be destroyed if they are not used by me". This is the Yuwen family's principle of dealing with things and cannot be taken risks.
Gradually, Yuwenshu saw Xuzi's flustered expression calm down again, as if nothing had happened, and the young man's face was filled with a smile. Although, at the corner of his mouth, Yuwenshu vaguely saw a trace of blood.
"Thank you, old general, for your kind words. I have little talent and little knowledge, so I can't be put to much use!" Xuzi built a new line of defense with a smile and replied calmly.
"Alas, I feel deeply sorry for you!" Yu Wenshu sighed, and was about to order someone to go into the account to solve the problem. The emperor loved the boy in front of him very much. He couldn't kill him, but he used a little trick to ruin his reputation. It seems that he is not here yet.
Next words
"Yes, the old general tried every means to protect the general, but the general didn't know what was good and he ruined his own future!" Li Xu took off the iron helmet on his head, gently held it on his right hand and took off the helmet and the general's robe.
, he is no longer an official of the Sui Dynasty. Everything is coming to an end. Although it comes suddenly, it is not too sad.
Yuwenshu's face suddenly twitched, and he understood the anger contained in Li Xu's words. This boy was mocking me and wanted to avenge the kindness of the Yuwen family! He didn't even look at his origins, and he dared to ask for repayment from the Yuwen family! Yuwenshu was furious,
He wanted to immediately call the warriors into the tent, push Li Xu out of the camp gate and behead him in public, but he did not dare to do so. The benefactor who had saved him three times was ruined by himself. If this word spread, it would not do any good to the Yuwen family.
'He's asking for prices all over the sky!' At the critical moment, Xuzi used the ability of observing words and colors taught to him by Xu Dayan, and tried hard to analyze Yuwenshu's eyes and expressions. Half of the face that had suffered a stroke could not move, and the other half,
Hidden behind heavy murderous intentions, Xuzi understood what the other party wanted, and decided to make the last deal with the Yuwen family.
"It is nonsense to say that Yang Ji, the chief secretary of the rebel army, teaches at the County School, and the County School is a virtuous government founded by His Majesty the late Emperor. It benefits more than just the disciples of the last general. It is nonsense!" Li Xu looked into Yu Wenshu's eyes and explained slowly.
He knew that Yu Wenshu would understand what he meant. The other party was ten times smarter than him, so there was no need to speak too directly.
"As for the Battle of Liyang, most of the prisoners of war have joined the Xiongwu camp, and some of the evil leaders have escaped, and those who surrendered have been executed..." Xuzi ignored Yu Wenshu's increasingly fierce gaze and continued to add, "As for those who died in the battle and those who escaped,
Is there a teacher who is currently studying in the county school? I really didn’t notice it!"
He decided to beat him to death and refuse to admit his debt. If Yu Wenshu didn't care about the family's reputation, he would pursue the matter to the end and bring in the soldiers that night to confront him. "I will do the same if I refuse to pay the debt!" He looked at Yu Wenshu's face and saw that blue veins were appearing on his face.
Forehead, Xu Zi decided to pay the price for his rash actions, "As for the task of intercepting Yang Xuangan, the last general is actually not the best candidate. The last general was injured in no less than ten places in three tough battles in Liyang and Hulao, and once again led the army on a long-distance attack.
It’s really beyond my capabilities!”
"Oh!" Yu Wenshu let out a long breath. After completely gaining the upper hand, the prey actually bit back to death. This was indeed a bit beyond his expectation. Since the young man in front of him was quite knowledgeable, he would listen to the transaction conditions proposed by this person for the time being.
He can manage to gain what his family needs without making his son too sad.
"The last general recommended that the Yuwen Supervisory Army command the Xiongwu Camp and detour to intercept Yang Xuangan. The Yuwen Supervisory Army has failed to meet the expectations of the public. If he replaces the last general, he will surely convince everyone!" Li Xu stroked the hairpin on his helmet and counter-offered with a smile.
The main plot of the Yuwen family is the military power of the Xiongwu Camp. Since they are destined to lose it, it is better to hand it over to a relatively trustworthy person. Brothers, following Yuwen Shiji should lead a better life than following other members of the Yuwen family.
He was very glad that he had made some arrangements in advance, otherwise, today's failure would have dragged down many brothers around him. Now, all he lost was only his own part. It is a pity to think about it, but he has no regrets.
"Yes, yes, Li Lang has worked so hard that he deserves a good rest. You can go to Hulao Pass to recuperate. When Yang Xuangan is pacified, His Majesty will reward you based on your merits and will definitely give you another reward!" Yu Wenshu smiled with satisfaction!
Come to think of it, the young man in front of me is too considerate. If Lao San wants to take over the Xiongwu Camp smoothly, he really can't arouse public anger. For the sake of the young man's interest, let him take the lead and be idle. Anyway, the Sui Dynasty cannot make up for the real shortcomings.
There are so many generals in his army that as long as he has no soldiers in his hands, there is no need to worry about him stirring up trouble.
"General, I want to go home and take a look! I can recuperate on the way!" Li Xu settled his worries and felt a sense of relief on his shoulders. He hadn't been home for a long time. He really wanted to see what his home had become.
"Go back. Return to your hometown without returning to wealth. Just like walking in brocade clothes at night to fulfill your filial piety by your parents' side. When the court needs you someday, I will have to call you." Yu Wenshu warned with a smile, as kind as a loyal elder.
This is really a pleasing result. When a person is young and full of energy, leave him in the countryside for a few more years. When his lofty ideals have dried up, he can't help but bow his head.
