Chapter 5 The Promise (Part 4) A cup of wine to wash away the dust and catch the wind actually tasted a bit of the sadness and anger of unrealized ambitions. It is unprecedented and unprecedented. Chewing the last words of the old general Zhou Fashang, both the host and the guest lost their cups.
Yan Huan, the fun of complimenting each other continued for half an hour. Lai Huer excused himself because he was too drunk and took the lead to leave. When the other naval officers saw the commander saying goodbye, they also got up and left.
Cui Junsu wanted to find an opportunity to brag a few more words, but the audience was gone, so he had no choice but to give up. The old governor Pei Caozhi was afraid that he would feel depressed, so he privately invited him to come to Japan with military civilians to go mountain climbing to enjoy the scenery. Cui Junsu was overjoyed after hearing this and agreed without any hesitation.
When I got down, I immediately forgot about the unpleasantness of the whole night.
The next day, the navy stayed in Qi County for a day, and Pei Caozhi took the literati to climb the mountain. Li Xu also set up a table of wine at his home and invited several old friends to come for a gathering. In the name of a family banquet,
So he invited three guardians, Zhou Shaofan and Feng Ciming, another veteran general who had met in the Battle of Hulao Pass, and other unrelated people were not invited. But Qijun,
Xuzi also called Luo Shixin and Zhang Xutuo to accompany him.
Everyone was a military commander, and they spoke freely, and the atmosphere was ten times more harmonious than yesterday. After the wine was familiar, Zhang Xutuo asked about the specific process of this expedition to Liao, and Lai Huer sighed and said, "What kind of triumphant master is this?"
, that is, in order not to lose the reputation of Your Majesty, I shamelessly praise my merits in front of you. That Goguryeo has clearly used another delaying strategy. How shameful that Yu Shiji, Pei Ji and others are so blind that they can't even see this little trick!"
"I'm afraid Yu Shiji and Pei Ji are not the only ones who are aimless!" Everyone thought secretly in their hearts, but no one could tell it to anyone. His Majesty the Emperor likes to pretend to be a saint in front of outsiders. This is a fact that everyone knows. Back then, he wanted to make all nations come to court.
Under the guise, he invited all the barbarians from the Western Regions to come to the Sui Dynasty to watch the lanterns. He did not allow the common people to collect money for meals and hotels along the way, which caused complaints from the counties along the way. The first expedition to Goryeo was also caused by him listening to the lies of some civil servants and trying to use intimidation to kill the soldiers. The result
Missed the best opportunity to fight, preventing hundreds of thousands of elites from returning home
"I originally wanted to come once when the general was away, but the military order was violated. I first captured the shameless little thief Gao Yuan, and then appealed to His Majesty, but Cui Junsu threatened the generals' property and life, which caused the morale of the army to lose. Alas!"
The son slapped the case with his hands, and his regret was beyond words
"It's all Cui Junsu who messed up this matter! He has no other skills than flattering powerful ministers and using official power to bully his colleagues!" Veteran general Feng Ciming also chimed in bitterly. Yesterday, Li Xu borrowed money from Zhou Shaoji and
Under the guise of reminiscing about the past, Cui Junsu suffered a blow. This move made a lot of naval generals feel very happy. So today, without asking questions, Feng Ciming took the initiative to tell how the generals were forced to withdraw from the way to Pyongyang and how they interacted with Cui Junsu.
The process of making grudges is explained one by one
It turns out that after two consecutive years of war, especially the destructive strategy implemented by the Sui generals last year, Goguryeo was also extremely exhausted, and the combat effectiveness of its troops and horses was not as good as before. This is why the navy landed outside Bishe City.
They almost took over this important town in Goguryeo that had been run for many years with almost overwhelming force. Gao Yuan clown continuously mobilized troops to fight, but they were all defeated at once. Just as the navy officers were preparing to take Pyongyang in one go.
At that time, His Majesty the Emperor's imperial decree arrived from outside Liaodong City.
After deliberation, the courtiers actually approved the peace treaty of Goguryeo! It was ordered that from the moment they saw the imperial edict, the officers and soldiers of the three armies could no longer continue to penetrate deeper into the territory of Goguryeo, and must report to the Kaiban Division.
General Laihu'er had fought many times with the Goguryeo people, and he was well aware of their ambitions, so he refused to obey the order. He called his brothers and said: Counting this time, we have already attacked Pyongyang for the third time. If we still can't conquer the city, it will be a shame.
We will never be able to wash away the snow in this life. Everyone has also seen the tired appearance of the Goguryeo people along the way. As long as you and I work harder, we will definitely catch the clown Gao Yuan and dig out his heart and liver to worship me, the Thirty Years of the Sui Dynasty.
The lonely soul who died unjustly
All the generals said: "Promise!" Shi Cui Junsu, the commander-in-chief, wanted to fight quickly, but he jumped out and accused Lai Huer of not respecting the imperial edict and violating the way of a minister.
Lai Huer couldn't defeat him, and said angrily: "I will not be punished by your order. Besides, Your Majesty doesn't know that the navy has already won!"
Cui Junsu clearly knew nothing about military affairs, but he put on a superior attitude and scolded the generals: "If you dare to listen to the general's orders and refuse to obey the order, I will report your actions today, which are only generals and not the emperor, to conquer Pyongyang."
, you may not all be successful, and once defeated, your family will definitely not be able to bear the consequences!"
On the spot, several grumpy military generals jumped up and punched Cui Junsu in return. But everyone was angry enough, but they could not bear the stigma of rebellion. The originally high morale dropped to the lowest point in an instant, even if the generals were determined to fight again.
, and lost the certainty of victory, so they had to follow Cui Junsu's suggestion and turn around and withdraw their troops.
"His grandma, this bitch who caused trouble!" Before Zhou Shaofan could finish his words, Luo Shixin was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed, "This son of a bitch is not loyal to the emperor and the country. He clearly doesn't know anything about martial arts, but he likes to be blind."
command"
He was so strong that he knocked down the entire table in front of him in one blow. The fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the floor. Seeing this, Li Xu quickly called the servants to come in and clean up the floor, and then changed the table to another one.
In front of Luo Shixin
Luo Shixin knew he had lost his composure, so he explained to everyone with a smile on his face: "Hey, sirs, please don't blame me for being upset after hearing the behavior of these rogue scholars. I was impulsive just now. Please forgive me!"
"Luo Duwei is a temperamental person, what's the crime?" Lai Hu'er waved his hands and said with a smile. Being interrupted by Luo Shixin, his mood improved a lot, and his dullness also followed those few words of the dog officer.
The scolding subsided a lot, and he raised his wine cup and smiled at Luo Shixin: "I have heard about the young hero Luo Duwei for a long time. When I saw you today, I am really proud of you. I would like to propose a toast to you. Thank you for scolding me for what I didn't want to scold!"
"
"I would like to drink with the old general. Although Shixin is not blessed to follow his subordinates, he often hears the name of the general." Luo Shixin returned the cup and drank the wine in one gulp.
The host and guest raised their glasses to each other again, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. During the dinner, they carefully discussed the gains and losses of the three eastern expeditions, and found that twice they were mistakenly committed by a group of literati who did not know how to fight, but liked to interfere in military affairs. "I turned out that
I thought that if I read too much, I would naturally gain more knowledge. Who knows that sometimes if I read too much, my horizons will become narrower and narrower!" Luo Shixin was very courageous and made irresponsible remarks.
"I'm afraid it's not just the vision that is narrowed by reading, some people's minds are also narrowed by reading." Zhou Shaoji smiled bitterly and shook his head, angrily talking about another outrageous experience.
Disagreement with each other is a very common thing among military generals. When everyone is arguing, everyone expresses his opinion. After the argument, that's it. Even if what happens next proves that his conclusion is completely correct, no one can lose face and take credit for his original remarks.
That Cui Changshi was not like that. Ever since the fleet landed in Dongnae, no matter where he went, he would brag about the wise decisions of his commander. After boasting about His Majesty's wisdom, he would brag about his courage to speak out. When everyone was drunk, he was the only one.
Du Xing makes everyone avoid him, and no one wants to be next to him when eating. But this person is completely unaware of it. He calls himself a high-ranking person, and his brilliance makes no one dare to look up to him.
"Hey, this kind of person is born to be annoying. He is really not worthy of our seriousness. Just ignore him, and his interest will naturally fade away." Xuzi toasted everyone with another round of wine, smiling and comforting
When Luo Shixin was scolding his mother just now, he kept smiling and silent. Afterwards, everyone talked about the Eastern Expedition. He also spent more time listening and less time speaking. At this moment, he occasionally said something, but it made a lot of sense. It not only made Lai Huer and others listen, but also made him happy
The most practical trick to deal with boring people
Ignore it! Some people's tricks are just to add confusion to you. The more you care, the happier he will smile. If rumors and criticisms are heard like the wind, what else can be gained from those buzzing voices that contain evil intentions?
What is the effect? This is the true meaning of life that Asahi realized when rumors spread a few days ago. It may not be very powerful, but it is extremely effective.
"Here's to Li Lang for saying this!" Lai Hu'er realized something and laughed and suggested that he was indeed a bit stubborn, but he was by no means a willful person. Recently, Cui Junsu, a shameless guy, described him like a
The reckless man acted like a fool, regardless of the importance, but because of his status as the commander of the army, he could not be serious with this scholar. If he fell out with Cui, this person would definitely say afterward: Look, I was right and he became angry!
Therefore, Lai Huer is full of ignorance and has nowhere to vent, and can only occasionally use alcohol to act crazy in places where there are few people. Although Li Xu's words may not be intentional, they undoubtedly have the effect of waking up the dreamer.
My identity and status in the military cannot be shaken by ten more people named Cui. If he is too persistent in the other party's words, it will actually make this person's reputation.
You may have distorted the facts to some extent.
"Cheers, for General Li Lang's enlightenment!" Zhang Xutuo raised the wine cup in front of him and responded with a smile that Xu Zi was changing. The old general clearly felt the change. If Li Xu was a good piece of steel before, he failed to do so.
Although it is brittle and hard recently, this piece of steel seems to have been quenched. It is still hard on the surface, but elastic inside.
"General Li Lang already has a family!" Lai Hu'er also felt that today's Li Xu was very different from the one in his memory. After putting down the wine cup, he smiled and asked about the former Xu Zi, just like the black hand in his hand.
The knife, even if it is deliberately concealed, is still sharp. But now, he seems to be hidden in the sheath, becoming more reserved and steady.
This situation usually happens after most men get married. Having a woman not only means more happiness in life, but also means more responsibility on their shoulders.
"I just took a concubine." Li Xu nodded and responded with a smile. As a man who is in happiness, he likes to share his happiness with everyone.
"No wonder this encounter with the general gives me a very different feeling!" Lai Hu'er laughed and ordered someone to fill up the wine cup in front of him again.
"No wonder, no wonder!" Zhang Xutuo also laughed and raised his wine glass high.
