Chapter 5 Jun En (Part 1) In the previous memorial to Yang Guang, Qu Tutong had truthfully stated that the best strategy to defeat the enemy came entirely from Li Xu's hand. But at that time, Yang Guang was simmering with anger, thinking that Qu Tutong had
Li Xu, a young general, was brought in to make up the numbers, just because he knew that the latter was favored by him, in order to use him to share some responsibilities. But now that he had made it clear that he did not care about the past, Qu Tutong still pushed the credit to Li Xu.
This kind of behavior is a bit weird
Not only Yang Guang was moved and surprised, but other civil and military ministers were also shocked. Everyone knew that Li Xu was a brave general. Everyone, especially those who were close to Yu Wenshu, had already decided that Li Xu was the emperor.
The favored lucky little guy is not only brave and foolhardy, but also takes the credit arrogantly. Otherwise, Yu Wenshu would not have given up his status as a high-ranking official and had trouble with a little country boy like him. Suddenly hearing Qu Tutong's words, everyone's opinions suddenly changed.
Unable to turn around immediately, he looked straight at Xuzi, whose face was flushed, as if ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum had grown on his face.
"Before joining the Wei ministers, General Li Lang had already joined forces with General Yun Dingxing to break the siege of Nao County. Ashina Gutuolu led his army to conquer, but they fought hard and forced them back. This is what happened later.
Expedient measure!" Qu Tutong didn't know Yang Guang's final attitude towards the matter of making peace with the enemy general in private, so he didn't dare to speak too harshly. The emperor in front of him was famous for being hot and cold recently.
Today's credit may be tomorrow's guilt
"Really, General Li Lang, is General Qu true?" After listening to Qu Tutong's words, Yang Guang became more interested. He walked to Li Xu and stared into his eyes to ask.
"General, in order to deceive the envoy Nagu Tuolu and Shibi Khan into doubting, the general did grant him some personal benefits, but it does not require me to cut an inch of land from the Sui Dynasty, nor does it require your Majesty to give a little gold and silver!" Li Xu
I had already analyzed the pros and cons with Dugu Lin, thought about it, and came up with the answer I had been preparing for a long time.
Dugu Lin and Yang Guang were related by blood, and in the end, he was forced to be depressed all day long by his suspicion. Xu Zi was just a rootless duckweed, and he did not dare to arouse the slightest suspicion. Fortunately, at this moment, Yang Guang was in high spirits.
He had no intention of investigating whether Li Xu's behavior on that day was beyond his authority, "I'll just agree to it. I don't blame you for the expediency. Tell me, what benefits did you give him? Is it a promotion, or financial and material support in the future?"
"
"This boy is really lucky!" After hearing Yang Guang's words, several civil servants were so jealous that their eyes turned red with jealousy. Yang Guang's expedient was equivalent to defining Li Xu's transgression. No matter who wants to do something in this regard in the future,
If you cause trouble for him, you have to be careful whether you will steal the chicken and end up losing a lot of old rice.
Just when everyone was feeling sorry for themselves and regretting why they were the ones who said that the person who retreated tens of thousands of troops was not them, the lucky boy in front of them honestly said something that made all civil and military officials speechless, "The last general, the last general couldn't tell you at that time.
The emperor knew it, so he did not dare to grant me any gold or silver to the Sui Dynasty, nor did he dare to ask for an official for him on his own initiative. Na Ashina Gutuolu fell in love with a wolf that the general had raised since he was a child, and the general agreed to withdraw from the army for a month.
Then I gave it to him and his home base was threatened, so the peace agreement was settled!"
"Is there such a thing?" Yang Guang opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff an egg into it. A wolf exchanged tens of thousands of troops for retreat. This is simply the first anecdote in ancient and modern times. "That wolf is definitely not an ordinary thing." In a flash of lightning,
A thought flashed into Yang Guang's heart, 'This boy is my lucky general!' Another thought made him ecstatic.
"It is your Majesty's great blessing, so General Li Lang can take advantage of the opportunity to reach an agreement with Ashina Gutuolu!" Master Yin Shi, who is good at praying and chanting, added a very timely sentence. For a while, there was a flood of flattery from civil and military officials in the palace, and they all praised him.
Yang Guang is the master of destiny. When he encounters a crisis, God will arrange a good opportunity to get out of trouble and let a stupid Khan who is obsessed with phlegm for the sake of being a beast appear in the opponent's camp.
Yang Guanglong was very happy and waved his hand to stop everyone's flattery. "It's General Li Lang's good luck. How come he has become my blessing again!" He turned his head and said to Li Xu: "Tell me, that's it."
What kind of wolf could make Gutuolu so fascinated!"
"This agreement with Gutuo Luneng is indeed a great blessing to Your Majesty!" Even if he is not good at flattering, Li Xu also understands what the tone of today is, "Your Majesty, that wolf is indeed not an ordinary wolf, and its body is as white as silver.
The Turkic people, who are as big as a colt, believe that the silver wolf is the messenger of the Immortal Heaven, the sacred object of the tribe, so they would rather retreat to get Ganluo!"
"Gan Luo is the name of Silver Wolf? Have you brought him into the city? Can you show me how you got him? Have you raised him for a long time? Why didn't I see him before?" In a happy mood, Yang Guang gradually forgot
Confused about the majesty of his emperor, he asked a series of questions like a naughty boy who had never seen the world.
"Your Majesty, Gan Luo is indeed the name of the silver wolf. General Mo was afraid that it would cause trouble, so he placed it in the military camp. General Mo adopted it five years ago. Later, due to some changes, he left it in the Ashina Bones on the grassland.
Tolu has been using it to play tricks, and this time he met the last general and claimed it directly. If he loses the silver wolf and his nest is destroyed by General Luo Yi, it will mean that the entire foundation is wiped out..." Li Xu looked around.
I looked at it and hesitated to explain.
It has been five years, it has been exactly five years. It was the autumn of the sixth year of Daye, and she was forced to leave the country. Now it is the autumn of the eleventh year of Daye. Everything has changed drastically. Thinking of the pain of having to leave home, Xuzi felt dark.
Everything came from His Majesty the Emperor in front of him. The tragic situation in which the people were displaced and the glory of his success today were all because of this man. In that moment, he didn't know whether he should be grateful or jealous of Yang Guang.
Yang Guang couldn't feel the ups and downs of Li Xu's mood. His interest was all focused on Gan Luo. "Li Lang will quickly order people to bring it into the palace. I also want to see this sacred object of the Turks. Why did you take it back then?"
If it was left on the grassland, how could it fall into the hands of Ashina Gutuoru?" He asked endlessly, not caring whether it was fair to other generals.
"Gan Luo's temperament is too fierce. If your Majesty wants to see him, General Mo will train him for a few days to temper his wild nature, and then bring him into the palace to meet the saint. As for what happened back then, it is really a long story, and General Mo will not stop talking about it.
, I'm afraid that it will delay the business of His Majesty and all your lords!" Li Xu cupped his hands and replied.
Several colleagues met together, and it was indeed disrespectful to others to draw the emperor's attention to themselves. Moreover, it was already time to get breakfast. If the cause and effect were explained, I am afraid that the emperor and the ministers would be so hungry that they would be dizzy.
dazzled
He kindly thought about Yang Guang and the ministers, but everyone didn't appreciate a big silver-white wolf, which was also a sacred object of the Turks. This was an age-old anecdote to many people, so everyone ignored the order of the court and talked about it.
He said, "Li Lang, don't talk in circles, your Majesty is waiting to hear it." "Listening to you to tell me how to defeat the enemy is the most honest thing to do. Just say it, Your Majesty will rarely be happy!"
"Come, come, let the imperial chef prepare some breakfast and bring it to the Golden Palace for everyone to eat together. The generals must be hungry too. I will have some snacks with you first, and then we will have a banquet to celebrate at noon!" Yang Guang looked at him from
The ministers glanced at it and immediately came up with a brilliant idea
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet!" Yu Shiji finally managed not to be outdone by Yin Shishi this time, so he thanked him first.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet!" The ministers thanked them excitedly. Since ancient times, the emperor has hosted banquets for ministers, some for lunch and some for dinner. He definitely didn't invite them earlier. But there are enough anecdotes today, and there is no need to do so.
After a moment, the guards in front of the palace temporarily moved more than 20 benches and asked Qu Tutong, Li Xu, Qin Shubao and others to sit down, as well as senior officials of third rank and above. There were not enough for other officials with lower positions.
The bar stool was available. Yang Guangda waved his hand and ordered someone to cut some felt. Each minister was given a piece and sat on the ground.
In the Sui Dynasty, most people had two meals a day. Even the emperor and his wealthy family only had snacks, dried meats, wheat porridge and other stomach-lubricating foods for breakfast. The imperial chef listened to the eunuch's imperial edict and did not dare to light a fire and cook it for a few days.
In a big pot of porridge, more than a dozen kinds of Jiangnan delicacies were specially prepared for Yang Guang and Empress Xiao, as well as delicious delicacies offered by various places, and they were brought into the golden palace like a flowing stream.
Yang Guang was in a happy mood, so he almost had a share in it. Even the guards who had never had the chance to eat the royal banquet were given some snacks. Everyone was in high spirits, eating and waiting for what Li Xu would say next. Yang Guang also came again
After being a "wise king" who understood the opinions of the public, Shao Shao moved his chopsticks a few times, and then he couldn't wait to urge: "General Li, where did you talk just now? Where did you get that silver wolf, and how did you end up on the grassland again?
"
"At the end of the year, I will go out to buy horses!" Li Xu could not shirk it, so he had to start from the beginning. Of course, he did not dare to say that he was forced to flee his home and followed the routine prepared by Tang Gong Li Yuan, fabricating the story that he was determined to serve the country.
, raised funds to go out to buy war horses. Before leaving, he killed a female wolf and got a white-haired wolf cub. Because it was born against the season, he named it Gan Luo for good luck...
These are all his personal experiences. Except for the reason for going to the embargo, which needs to be concealed, he can tell the truth, so there is no need to add jealousy. This has made Yang Guang and the ministers who have no experience of low-level life listen with gusto. At first, he occasionally lowered his head to sip a spoonful of porridge, and later simply stopped talking.
The silver spoons were put down. Some people opened their mouths so much that even the snacks they had eaten fell out.
When they heard Li Xu say that because of the cold weather, he and Xu Dayan had to stay in Su Chuobu to wait for the snow to melt, everyone sighed that he had to suffer such a disaster at such a young age. When they heard Li Xu say that Suotou Xi
The scouts were unreasonable and tried to kill several teenagers to silence them. Lai Huer and others were so angry that they slammed the table, "Don't these Xi Man's hearts grow out of flesh? They didn't even spare the children!"
"Those who are not from my race must have different minds. Look at those Turkic wolf riders, they kill people without blinking an eye!" The civil servants who had sufficient knowledge of the brutality of the Turks shook their heads and commented.
"They are also forced to survive. The prairie is about the rules of the wolf pack. The strong live and the weak die." Li Xu himself didn't think there was anything strange about Suotou's taunting behavior. He smiled and explained in a low voice.
"This is because of the lack of enlightenment from saints!" Kong Yingda shook his head with a look of dim sum scum.
This sentence was not wrong. Everyone smiled and did not argue with him, and then listened to Li Xu's story: "The Su Chuan tribe also regarded the silver wolf as a sacred object, so they took the opportunity to dominate the grassland. Xu Dayan used the method of the Central Plains."
I helped him train his soldiers for a whole winter, and in the spring of the next year, everyone stormed into Suotouxi's camp and completely wiped out the tribe on the grassland!" Li Xuping said calmly, and several civil servants heard their footsteps.
A chill
This is the behavior of grassland peoples. The losers will have no chance of survival. If the sudden invaders come straight in this time...? From the Sui Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, all the civil and military officials had more or less some Hu people. But after all, they had been in the Central Plains for a long time, and they had become the same in their bones.
The Han people are no different and can no longer agree with what the Xianbei people did back then.
"At the beginning of autumn, after enough horses were purchased, the general returned south to Su Chuanbu with Xu Dayan and refused to let Gan Luo go. The general also had no strength to fight with them, so he had to leave it there!"
Li Xu lied calmly and passed through many twists and turns.
"In my opinion, Su Chubu Aijinzhao is not a hero. No matter which one of you or Xu Dayan is left, the role will be far greater than that of Gan Luo. This idiot spared two generals and actually kept a beast. It is really short-sighted!
"Yang Guang regained his consciousness for a rare moment, clasping the imperial case with his fingers to comment on it.
"Long live the Holy Son of Heaven, of course his knowledge is a hundred times greater than that of that tribe!" Yu Shiji took the lead in flattering him, completely forgetting Yang Guang's rude move of leaving Qu Tutong and others aside when he first heard about Gan Luo.
"Your Majesty is not only a saint, but also a blessing! Otherwise, God would not have laid out the chess piece of Gan Luo five years ago!" The Yinshi Master was not willing to be outdone, and connected the appearance of Gan Luo with Yang Guang's great fortune.
Arrived at a place
"How did Ganluo end up in Gutuolu's hands later, General Li continued?" Yang Guang smiled and continued to ask.
"I don't know what happened later. After I left the Su Chuo tribe, I went to Liaodong and was appreciated by His Majesty. I gradually became a general from the brigade. I heard that Su Chuoxir's daughter married Ashina Gu.
Tuolu, presumably Gan Luo also followed her to Gu Tuolu's side. This time the two armies met in front of the formation, and they just happened to be snatched back by the general!" Li Xu thought for a while, and answered with a smile, and at the same time he felt a touch of sadness and a feeling of sadness.
A touch of happiness wells up from the bottom of my heart, spiraling up to the corners of my eyes and eyebrows
