Chapter 7 The Golden Age (11 Part 1) After thinking about this section, Shi Defang's eyes towards Chen Yanshou softened a lot. The smaller the scheme the old guy in front of him planned, the more he forced his general to draw a clear line between Hedong and Hedong. If he had changed to someone who was more graceful and generous, with his own character as a hussar general, he might not be willing to fall out with Hedong.
After dividing the spoils, Wang Fubao was the first to lead his subordinates to open the tug of war. The prefect Wang Cong's office was bordering Dou Jiande's territory. He also said goodbye to Li Xu and walked away with Wang Fubao. Another day later, Han Jianhong and Shi Derui also said goodbye. Returning south, he planned to go back and clean up the cottage. He would first settle the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then make new plans. Liu Jizhen hid outside the Great Wall for two days. Seeing that neither Li Xu nor Li Jiancheng had any intention of settling accounts with him, he felt at ease. After he got down, he ran to Zhangjiabao to say hello to his allies, and promised that if anything happens to everyone in the future, as long as the letter is delivered to him, he will do whatever it takes, no matter the sword, mountains or fire. Then he "borrowed" enough money from Li Xu to consume 40,000 people. With twenty days of rations, he led his newly acquired subordinates and herdsmen to the depths of the grasslands northwest of Yanshan Mountain. With the newly acquired herdsmen and more than ten thousand soldiers, not long after, he really defeated the Xiongnu Khan. Under the banner of the banner, they conquered dozens of surrounding tribes, large and small. However, there were too few Huns in this emerging khanate, so they did not persist for a few years before they declined from the grasslands like meteors, leaving only countless lamentable stories. sung in pastoral songs
There are still more than twenty horse thieves who took refuge with Liu Jizhen in the Great Wall. They did not want to live a life of today and no tomorrow, and took the initiative to stay in the Great Wall. According to everyone's observation, most of them surrendered to Li Jiancheng, and a few of them surrendered. He got along well with General Boling and took the initiative to serve for General Hussar. Li Xu found a suitable place for him based on his talents.
Because the team of captives was too large, Li Xu and Jiancheng did not dare to let them stay near the Great Wall for too long. They discussed carefully and allocated grain, grass, baggage, cattle and sheep from the spoils and gave them to Wang Xuba, who had just returned from outside the Great Wall. Guo Fang and two men escorted them to open up new pastures on both sides of the Suotou River. Wang Xuba and Guo Fang had previously been ordered by Li Xu to disturb the rear of Ashina Gutuolu and slaughtered countless tribes along the way. They were already on the grassland. The captives were unarmed and could not resist in front of these two fierce men. They were escorted by Boling Qingqi, supporting the old and young, and walked away obediently.
Seeing the allies participating in the war leaving one after another, and there was still no news from Hedong, Li Jiancheng began to feel anxious. Previously, he was afraid that his brother Shimin would take the credit and increase his limelight, but now he was willing to give up the lead, and did not want to always Bi Khan really broke through the Loufan Pass like Chen Yanshou did, and drove straight into Hedong
In desperation, Li Jiancheng had no choice but to visit Luo Yi in person, asking him not to return in a hurry like the others, but to lead the Huben cavalry to station near Zhangjiabao for a period of time. When the situation in Hedong is clear, he can make a decision before spending all the time. They can all be counted on the Hedong Li family.
Luo Yi was also a happy person. He thought about it and responded with a smile: "That's fine, there's nothing important in Youzhou recently. I'll just wait here for one or two days. But dear brother, I have to say hello to Li Zhongjian for me." , lest he kid thinks that Luo is plotting against him from the Six Counties, and then secretly plays some tricks on Luo!"
"Brother Luo's words are serious. Zhong Jian has always been able to take things seriously and let them go. He will never judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. Moreover, Brother Luo has given you timely help this time. It's too late for us to thank you, so how can we make random guesses without conscience?
!" Li Jiancheng knew that Luo Yi was still confused about his defeat at the hands of Li Xu last year, so he quickly explained the situation to both parties with a smile.
"He thanked me?" Luo Yi sneered and shrugged, "Forget it, I'm not here for him, Li Zhongjian, so there's no need to make him grateful."
"But Zhongjian is indeed very grateful to you. He told me several times in private that if the tiger and ben cavalry had not arrived in time on that day, everyone might have died under the sword of the wolf cavalry."
"Oh?" Luo Yi was slightly surprised by Li Jiancheng's words. Although everyone said many beautiful words at the celebration banquet, some of those words were sincere. Luo Yi was indeed not sure that in his life experience,
It's not uncommon for people to call each other brothers and sisters the night before, wanting to show their hearts to others, and then fall out with each other the next day. The more beautiful people talk, the less authentic they may be when doing things.
"Zhong Jian is indeed very grateful to you. He said that he didn't expect that General Luo would give up his old grudges and come to help. He also said that he had long wanted to see the heroic appearance of the tiger and the Benn cavalry galloping on the fortress, but he didn't expect that he would get his wish!" Li Jiancheng began to listen to Luo Yi's tone.
If it's loose, strike while the iron is hot
Being able to worship Luo Yi as his brother is one of the unexpected benefits brought to him by this battle of the Great Wall. With the great reputation of General Luo Yi, he does not need to express support for him, but he can also let those who are interested in the position of the prince
The guy weighed his own weight, but while receiving strong support from Luo Yi, Jiancheng didn't want to lose Li Xu. After all, when it came to the friendship between them, Li Xu was much deeper than Luo Yi.
"Well, it's not like he hasn't seen it before!" Although Luo Yi's tone of voice was still neither yin nor yang, the expression on his face was obviously cheerful. His ability to flatter him could make his opponents praise him behind his back.
A military general can be proud of himself for being able to do this, not to mention that the one who praises him behind the scenes is General Hussar, a rare young hero in the Central Plains in the past ten years.
"How else does he evaluate the Tiger and Ben Iron Cavalry? Do you think he is better than the elite Boling soldiers under his command?" After sneering, Luo Yi couldn't help but continue to ask.
"A lot. Anyway, I admire my brother and the Huben cavalry very much. Zhongjian said that he decided to join the army because he admired his brother's reputation." Li Jiancheng was stunned by the question, and his face was immediately filled with a happy smile. "If
Brother, I have nothing urgent to do today, so why not go with me to Li Zhongjian’s place to discuss future arrangements and judgment on the direction of the war? His vision has always been very unique!"
"As an uncle, you will think about your sister-in-law!" Luo Yi smiled and glanced at Li Jiancheng, nodded and ordered his followers to prepare their horses. The two brothers walked towards the Boling Army's camp and saw them along the way.
The joint forces of the Hedong and Boling armies lined up along the hills inside the Great Wall. The officers and soldiers of the two armies were patrolling back and forth neatly, holding spears and spears. They looked back in high spirits. The blue-gray Great Wall spreads for thousands of miles. Although many places are smoky,
It's dilapidated, but like a waking dragon, it exudes vitality.
The fierce battle has long ended. The mountain breeze is blowing, but the sound of horns is still vaguely echoing behind each crenel. There are vague people walking around on each beacon tower. The lights of swords and shadows remain awe-inspiring.
A very familiar feeling came to Luo Yi's heart, and he couldn't help but stop. "Why is there a pole stuck there?" Pointing at the top of the Great Wall with his riding crop, the old general frowned and asked. Wherever he looked, there was a black pole.
The long lacquered branch stands at the top of the Great Wall, piercing the sky
"Zhongjian's friend asked someone to give him the eldest son. Zhongjian, like his elder brother, is also used to using knives." Li Jiancheng thought for a while and found an ambiguous answer from his memory.
This answer obviously did not satisfy Luo Yi. The more the old general looked at it, the more strange he felt.
Li Jiancheng and all the Youzhou guards looked at each other in confusion. They shouted several times but got no response, so they had to dismount and quickly chased after them.
Although there are walking trails in the Great Wall, the slope is also very steep. Luo Yi is over fifty years old, but his hands and feet are so agile that Li Jiancheng couldn't catch up even with all his strength. He finally ran to the Great Wall out of breath, and saw Luo Yi striding across the Great Wall again.
Go through the crenels one by one, step over the beacon towers, and go straight to the highest point of the Great Wall.
"Buzz!" The long wind blew over the blade of the tree, making a roaring sound. The old general Luo Yi lay on his back in front of the tree pole, and touched his body with trembling palms, as if he was not facing a weapon, but a sleeping baby.
Changsha also seemed to have feelings, shaking and trembling constantly. The four-foot frost blade was shone in the sun, and it felt cold.
"This is General Bu's long spear!" Luo Yi's hand finally rested on the pole, stroking the magic soldier that had slowly lost its color in the sun and rain. At this moment, there was no trace of anything on his face.
The majesty of a famous war general is only reflected by the touch of reunion with an old friend. "I gave this to General Bu back then." He turned his back to the people who were chasing him, and said slowly as if he was explaining to everyone, but also seemed to be talking to himself, "Back then,
I have forgotten the promise I made, General Bu, but I have never forgotten it.”
"I'm here. I'm not too late." The old general with arms spread wide and his gray beard looked at the frost all around and said with a smile, as if the other party could listen. "I've brought all the tiger and horse cavalry. I'm here. Luo Yi is here. I'm here."
I know you're watching!"
"Coming, coming... Look, look..." In the valley, there were echoes layer upon layer, as if there were countless heroic souls responding to Luo Yi's greetings. Tombs with green earth color were still standing in front of the Great Wall, like
Still fulfilling his duties
They've been standing there, they'll always be standing there, they've been here, they've been watching
