Chapter 5 Jun En (4) Seeing Li Shimin, the eyes of Dugu Lin and Xu Zi were attracted by him. Murong Luo felt a little nervous, "Of course, many of the brothers in Xiongwu Camp back then actually admired General Li very much.
Yes! Now that the general has been able to open a government office, why not call some brothers to come and help? They are willing to go no matter how hard it is for General Li! A few days ago, he risked his life to expose the Yuwen family's theft and sale of military rations.
In order for the general to return to Xiongwu Camp!"
"Brother Murong, please explain in more detail! What happened to stealing the account books?" Li Xu was shocked and asked eagerly. In the past few days, he had also heard a little bit about the Yuwen family's theft and sale of military rations.
Rumor has it that on the same night when King Qin's soldiers and horses were chasing the Turks, several low-level officers from the Xiongwu camp stole the account books of the Yuwen family's transactions with the Turks and risked their lives to send them to Yang Guang. This incident happened suddenly and almost triggered the Xiongwu camp.
A fire broke out between the camp and the Royal Forest Army. Thanks to Yuwen Shiji's intervention, the disaster was averted. The Yuwen family was also saved because of Shiji's performance. Except for Huaji and Zhihe, who were demoted to domestic slaves,
Overall strength has not been affected in any way
Murong Luo glanced at Li Shimin again, and saw a strong look of encouragement in his eyes. He calmed down his emotions and continued: "Back then, General Li was forced to leave by the old thief Yu Wenshu. Everyone felt very sad.
We were dissatisfied, but the general himself didn’t want to cause trouble, so we could only endure it. Within a few days of the general’s departure, the Yuwen family began to aggressively deploy private individuals to the Xiongwu Camp.
Treat all brothers equally, but after all, his surname is Yuwen, and it is difficult for him to be even-keeled when doing things. The brothers couldn't stand the bullying from the Yuwen family, and some just looked for ways to leave. There was really no way out, so they looked forward to Li every day.
The general returns to stand up for everyone!"
"It was my reckless behavior back then that brought everyone down!" Li Xu poured himself a glass of wine and said apologetically that the reason why he left without any struggle was because he did have something in Yu Wenshu's hands, even though
The second reason was that he couldn't stand Zhang Xiu's betrayal. If even the people who benefited the most from him and had the closest blood relationship betrayed him, he didn't know how many of the remaining brothers would be willing to work with him.
advance and retreat!
"I don't mean to blame the general. The general's strength back then was indeed unable to compete with the old thief Yuwenshu." Murong Luo shook his head and continued. Taoists are very realistic. If it weren't for the oppression suffered by the Yuwen family in recent years, there would probably be many
People will not remember the benefits of Li Xu. "If I had been in the position of general back then, the final outcome might have been even worse. The brothers who stayed behind had deeper and deeper grudges with the Yuwen family, but they couldn't find the opportunity to take revenge.
When it was discovered that the Turks were retreating, rumors spread among the army that the emperor was going to break his promise and not fulfill the promise he made when he encouraged everyone to defend the city!"
That's not a rumor, it's a fact! Several people who participated in the court meeting had wry smiles on their faces. Yang Guang and other ministers didn't care at all about the long-term consequences of breaking their promises. In other words, they cared, but they couldn't care less.
"Someone suggested that if General Li comes back, everyone will definitely not be deceived so many times like now. Someone then thought of a way, that is, to report the matter of Yuwen's private sale of military rations to Datian. That night, seven pounds, Daniel
Together with Wu Yan and the others, they took more than 50 brothers and sneaked into the Royal Forest Army to steal the account books. When they came out, they were discovered by Yu Wenhuaji's cronies and chased them all the way to the palace gate. Qin Xingshi led the team to rescue them, but they were unable to rescue them. They watched helplessly as the brothers
They all fell under Yu Wenhua’s sword! Fifty-three brothers went there, but only two people, Daniu and Zhao Ziming, came back alive. Both of them were seriously injured and are still unconscious.”
Murong Luo's eyes were slightly red, and his fists clenched. He had more than fifty lives, including three captains, one soldier, and one who joined the army. In the end, he only got Yu Wenhua and his two brothers being demoted and sent home.
Smuggling military rations and colluding with foreign invaders. If ordinary people had committed these crimes, they would have been punished by the Yuwen family of the three tribes, but they were still safe.
This was the court of the Sui Dynasty. If the common people made the slightest mistake, the crime would not be forgiven. Even if the officials and the children of the aristocratic families committed murder and betrayed the country, it was excusable. Li Xu felt that his heart was clogged, as if there was a puff of smoke choking in his throat. He picked it up again.
Pour a glass of wine into your mouth, feel the hot taste, and forcefully suppress your anger.
He is already a champion general. As a feudal official, he must restrain his emotions and keep a clear mind. "Brother Murong suggests that I recruit all the brothers from the Xiongwu Camp back then? What measures can I take to make everyone come over smoothly so that they don't end up in trouble?"
Deliberately criticized by some people?”
"In the past few years, our old brothers have left and dispersed. There are not many left in Xiongwu Camp. Many people died in vain that night. Among the remaining officers, there are only a dozen or so who do not belong to the Yuwen family.
Since His Majesty has made you the Champion General, if you choose a few staff from your old department, I guess no one will be able to gossip!" Murong Luo paused and replied without hesitation.
"The Yuwen family has just suffered a heavy blow. Now that you are asking people to leave from the Xiongwu Camp, Yuwen Shiji will never risk falling out with you to keep a few low-level officers in trouble. Moreover, these people are gone, and the Yuwen family is completely
There are many benefits to controlling the Xiongwu Camp." Dugu Lin looked at the problem from a different perspective than Murong Luo, and the answer he gave was more satisfactory. Li Xu thought about it, and said with a wry smile, "If you are willing, you can even pull some soldiers from the Xiongwu Camp.
Although Yu Wenhua and his brothers have not been executed, His Majesty will not be willing to see the Yuwen family become too powerful in a short period of time! As for how long the Yuwen family has been neglected, I cannot guarantee that if you go too far.
, after the old thief calms down, he will definitely take the initiative to trouble you!"
"Yu Wenhua and he are in charge of the Central Army of the Sixth Army of the Emperor, and Yu Wenshi and are in charge of the Xiongwu Camp. The two brothers have almost all the soldiers in Yanmen City, so your majesty is not at ease, so he gave up his position on the pretext of leaving brother Zhongjian for questioning.
You lead the Fenyang Army to protect him. Brother Zhong Jian can send someone to pick up the two seriously injured old soldiers first, and then write a memorial to Yang Guang in his name, saying that after this incident, the two felt that it was difficult to face them.
Master Yuwen and His Majesty will surely follow the current trend as they think of their merits!" Li Shimin calmly added that as for the Yuwen family's revenge, he did not think it was worth considering, "Old thief Yuwenshu is different from Pei Ju and others. This person has always wanted to
Get rid of you quickly, no matter whether you continue to offend him or not, the grudge between the two parties is so deep, he will not let you feel comfortable!"
The enemy's enemy is his ally. Xu Zi understood that Li Shimin's suggestion was not selfless. The six counties he was about to control were closely related to the Hedong Road under Li Yuan's rule. The two sides should indeed be allies advancing and retreating together. Thinking of this, Xu Zi smiled.
He smiled and said frankly: "According to what you brothers said, I will immediately arrange for people to do it. But for some specific things, I have to ask Brother Murong to do it for me. After all, I have just taken charge of the Fenyang Army, and I may not be able to get away for a while..."
"I am willing to work for General Li!" Murong Luo straightened his body and crossed his arms as he saluted. He was very happy that he could repay his former boss.
"Brother Murong, this is wrong. I asked Brother Murong to do something, so it's my turn to give you the gift!" Xu Zi took a half step away and bowed his hands half way. Then, he turned his eyes to Li Shimin and asked with a smile.
Said: "Shimin, if I borrow your people, won't they bring trouble to Mr. Tang?"
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that they are our Li family's generals. Brother Zhongjian's orders are naturally equivalent to the Li family's orders!" Li Shimin smiled and gave a very smart answer. "Besides, we are all friends.
They help each other a little bit, but they still know exactly what to do!"
"What a Li Er from Tang Gongfu!" Dugu Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile suddenly filled his face like a knife. In his opinion, Murong Luo should have been with Li Xu long before he persuaded Li Xu to recruit his old subordinates.
Li Shimin was angry and the reason why Li Shimin brought Murong Luo to the banquet was probably closely related to the incident at Xiongwuying. In addition to friendship, behind this move, I'm afraid there were many naked interests entangled. What was rare was that Li Shimin arranged everything so well.
He leaves no trace and gives the impression that he is sincerely helping Li Xu without asking for anything in return.
He was not prepared to break through this layer of window paper. In this chaotic situation, even a trace of surface warmth was valuable. Li Xu was not a fool. He should eventually be aware of Li Shimin's arrangements behind his back. And these arrangements were fundamentally...
It is beneficial and harmless to the Fenyang Army
The most important point is that this move can greatly weaken the power of the Yuwen family. For Dugu Lin himself, the smaller the power of the Yuwen family, the safer the court he defends.
"Do it! It's a good idea for Captain Murong!" Smiling, Dugu Lin raised the wine cup in front of him.
Everyone responded one after another and continued to drink and talk about military anecdotes and anecdotes from the court. Unconsciously, they were half drunk and saw that it was getting late. Li Shimin and others stood up to say goodbye. Qin Shubao also woke up Luo Shixin from the other tent and walked out of the camp with everyone.
Door
"I haven't been so drunk for a long time. If I do something immoral after drinking, please bear with me!" Luo Shixin got drunk quickly and woke up quickly, jumping on the back of his horse and apologizing to everyone with a salivating look on his face.
"It's okay, who hasn't been drunk before?" Li Xu knew that there wouldn't be many opportunities for everyone to drink together in the future, so he smiled and comforted
"From now on, please try not to say anything in front of me!" Dugu Lin suddenly changed his face and said something solemnly. Then he took the horse's reins and ran out "Yes, yes, yes". The cold autumn wind blew.
His white silk robe, viewed from behind, looks like a pile of unmelted snow.
