Looking at the tall and majestic city walls and the Fen River flowing around the city like milk, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel a little stunned. In order to preserve the Yang family's beautiful mountains and rivers, he was exhausted physically and mentally. But now Li Hun has been executed, Li Mi is disabled, and Li Yuannian
Old, all the possible opponents who could usurp power have been eliminated, so who is the person referred to in the nursery rhyme?
As if someone was hinting, Yang Guang moved his eyes from the front, glanced at the ministers, and slowly moved back. He saw Gan Luo, whose coat was as bright as silver, walking calmly behind his chariot, not caring about the surroundings at all.
Rushan cheered and feared. "The Holy Son of Heaven must be accompanied by something extraordinary!" This thought made him feel very proud, but at the same time, an unspeakable panic suddenly surged in his heart. He saw Xuzi, riding a Teller
On the palace, the body was upright. Some bold people pointed and pointed, obviously discussing the legendary experience of the youngest champion general in the Sui Dynasty, their eyes seemed to be full of awe.
"I actually forgot that his surname is also Li!" Yang Guang's heart suddenly twitched, and his face suddenly turned as pale as snow.
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 the reason why Qu Tutong brought Li Xu, a young general, to
To make up the numbers, he just knew that the latter was favored by him in order to share some responsibilities with him. But now that he has made it clear that he does not care about the past, Qu Tutong still puts the credit on Li Xu. This behavior is a bit weird.
Already.
Not only Yang Guang was surprised, but other civil and military ministers were also shocked. Everyone knew that Li Xu was a brave general. Especially those who were close to Yu Wenshu had already determined Li Xu's character in their minds.
.This lucky little guy favored by His Majesty the Emperor is not only brave but also arrogant in taking credit. 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 he heard Qu Tutong:
If so, everyone's views could not be changed immediately, and they looked directly at Asahi, whose face was flushed, as if ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum had grown on his face.
"Before joining the ministers, General Li Lang had already joined forces with General Yun Dingxing to break the siege of Naoxian County. Ashina Gutuolu led his army to conquer, but they fought hard and forced them to retreat. This is how it happened.
Later expedient measures!" 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 has been famously cold recently.
Sure, today's credit may be tomorrow's guilt.
"Really, General Li Lang, is General Qu telling the truth?" 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 provoke suspicion between Ashi Nagutuolu and Shibi Khan, the general did grant him some personal benefits. But it does not require me to cut an inch of land in the Sui Dynasty, nor does it require your Majesty to give a little gold and silver!" Li
Xu had long analyzed the pros and cons with Dugu Lin, thought about it, and gave the answer he had prepared 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, Yang Guang was at this moment.
In the excitement, I had no intention of investigating whether Li Xu's behavior on that day was beyond his authority, "I just agreed, it's a temporary solution. I don't blame you, tell me, what benefits did you give him? Is it a promotion, or financial and material resources in the future?"
Support on the Internet?”
"This boy is really lucky!" After hearing Yang Guang's words, several civil servants were so jealous that their eyes turned red. Yang Guang's expedient was equivalent to defining Li Xu's transgression. No matter who wants to do this 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 that, so he did not dare to grant me any gold or silver to the Sui Dynasty, nor did he dare to seek an official position for him on his own initiative. Ashina Gutuolu fell in love with a wolf that the general had raised since he was a child, and the general agreed to withdraw one of his troops.
I will give it to him in a month. In addition, his home base is threatened, so the peace agreement is 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 most bizarre story in ancient and modern times. "That wolf is definitely not an ordinary thing."
Suddenly, 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 Yinshi, who is good at praying and chanting, added this sentence in a very timely manner. For a time, there was a flood of flattery from civil and military officials in the palace.
It is praised that Yang Guang is the master of destiny. When faced with danger, God will arrange a good opportunity to get out of trouble and let a fool Khan who is obsessed with phlegm for the sake of 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. Why has it become my blessing again!" He turned his head and said to Li Xu: "Tell me, then.
What kind of wolf is this, how could it fascinate Gutuolu to such an extent!"
"The fact that the general can reach an 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. It is all white.
Like silver, it is as big as a colt. The Turks believe that the silver wolf is the messenger of the Immortal Heaven and a sacred object of the tribe. That’s why they would rather retreat than get Gan Luo!”
"Then Gan Luo is the name of Silver Wolf? Have you brought him into the city? Can you give me a look? How did you get it? Have you raised it for a long time? Why didn't I see it before?" In a happy mood, Yang Guang gradually
Forgetting the majesty of the 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. The general was afraid that it would cause trouble, so he placed it in the military camp. The general adopted it five years ago, but later due to some changes, he left it on the grassland. Ah
Shina Gutuolu has been using it to play tricks, but this time he met the last general and claimed it directly. If he loses the silver wolf and his lair is destroyed by General Luo Yi, it will mean that the entire foundation is wiped out..." Li
Xu looked around and hesitated to explain.
It has been five years, it has been five years. It was the autumn of the sixth year of Daye, and he was forced to leave the country. Now it is the autumn of the eleventh year of Daye, and everything has changed drastically. Thinking of the pain of having to leave home, Xuzi felt unhappy.
He felt gloomy. Everything came from His Majesty the Emperor in front of him. The tragic situation of the people who had been displaced and the glory of his success today were all because of this person. 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, and all his interest was focused on Gan Luo. "Li Lang will quickly order someone to bring it into the palace. I also want to see this sacred object of the Turks. Why did you do it back then?"
If you left it on the grassland, how could it fall into the hands of Ashina Gutuoru?" He asked endlessly, not caring whether it was fair to the other generals.
"Gan Luo's temper is too fierce. If your Majesty wants to see him, I will train him for a few days to temper his wild nature, and then take him into the palace to meet the saint. As for what happened back then, it is a long story, and I will say it.
I won't stop, for fear of delaying the business of His Majesty and all your lords!" Li Xu cupped his hands and echoed.
Several colleagues met together, and it was indeed disrespectful to others to draw the emperor's attention to themselves. Besides, 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 very hungry.
Dizziness.
He kindly thought about Yang Guang and his ministers, but everyone didn't appreciate it. A big silver-white wolf was also a sacred object of the Turks, which was an age-old anecdote for many people. So everyone ignored the order of the court and started talking nonsense.
He said tongue-in-cheek, "Li Lang, please don't talk in circles. His Majesty is waiting to hear it." "Listening to your story about defeating the enemy is the most honest thing to do. Just say it, His Majesty is rarely 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, so I will have some snacks with you first, and then we will have a banquet to celebrate at noon!" Yang Guang looked at him
After scanning the faces of the ministers, a brilliant idea immediately came to mind.
"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 ask for it earlier. But there are enough anecdotes today.
No one minded adding one or two more piles. After a while, the guards in front of the palace temporarily moved more than twenty benches and asked Qu Tutong, Li Xu, Qin Shubao and others to sit down with senior officials of third rank or above. Others with lower positions
There were not enough benches for the officials, so Yang Guangda waved his hand and ordered someone to cut some felts. 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, preserved meat, wheat porridge and other stomach-lubricating foods for breakfast. The imperial chef did not dare to neglect the imperial edict from the eunuch. Mr. Huo
After cooking several large pots of porridge, I improvised more than a dozen kinds of Jiangnan delicacies specially for Yang Guang and Empress Xiao, as well as delicious delicacies offered by various places, and brought them into the golden palace like a flowing stream.
Yang Guang was in a happy mood, so he almost had a share in the meeting. Even the guards who had never had a chance to eat at the royal banquet were given some snacks. Everyone was in high spirits, eating and waiting for Li Xu to say the next thing. Yang
Guangye once again acted as a "wise king" who was aware of the public's opinions. After moving his chopsticks a few times, he couldn't wait to urge: "General Li, where did you just say? Where did you get that silver wolf? How did you get here again?
On the grassland?”
"At the end of the year, I will go out to buy horses!" Li Xu couldn't shirk it, so he had to start from the beginning. Of course, he didn't dare to say that he was forced to flee his home. He followed the routine prepared by Tang Gong Li Yuan and made up the story that he had the intention to do something for him.
To serve the country, he raised his own funds and went 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 out of the country, which needs to be concealed, he can tell the truth. Therefore, there is no need to add fuel and jealousy. Yang Guang and the ministers who have no experience in low-level life have listened with interest. At first, he occasionally lowered his head to sip a spoonful of rice porridge.
Later, they even put down their silver spoons. Some people opened their mouths so much that they even dropped the snacks they had eaten.
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 talk about the rope head
Scout Xi was unreasonable and tried to kill several young men. Lai Huer and others were so angry that they slammed the table, "Don't these Xi men have hearts made of flesh? They didn't even spare the children!"
"Those who are not from my race must have different thoughts. 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 grassland is about the rules of the wolf pack. The strong survive 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.
road.
"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 continued to listen 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 Central Plains
The method helped him train his soldiers for a whole winter, and in the spring of the next year, everyone rushed into Suotouxi's camp and completely wiped out the tribe on the grassland!" Li Xuping said calmly, and several civil servants heard
There was a chill under my feet.
This is the behavior of the grassland peoples, and the losers will completely lose their chance of survival. If the sudden invasion this time...? From the Sui Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, all civil and military officials were more or less of Hu origin. But after all, they had been in the Central Plains for a long time.
In essence, they are no different from Han people, and they can no longer agree with what the Xianbei people did back then.
"At the beginning of autumn, after enough horses were acquired, the general returned south with Xu Dayan. Su Chuo's tribe refused to let Gan Luo go, and the general had no strength to fight with them, so he had to leave him there!"
Li Xu lied calmly and ignored many twists and turns.
"In my opinion, Su Chubu Aijin 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 fool spares two generals and actually keeps a beast. It is really short-sighted.
Extremely good!" Yang Guang regained consciousness for a rare moment and used his fingers to press the imperial case to comment.
"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. He completely forgot about Yang Guang's rude move of leaving Qu Tutong and others aside as soon as he heard about Gan Luo.
"Your Majesty is not only wise, but also blessed! 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 leaving Su Chuo's tribe, I went to Liaodong. Then I was appreciated by His Majesty, and I gradually became a general from the brigade. I heard that Su Chuoxier's daughter married
Ashina Gutuolu and Gan Luo must have followed her to Gutuolu. 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. At the same time, there was a wave of excitement.
A touch of sadness and a touch of happiness well up from the bottom of my heart, spiraling up to the corners of my eyes and eyebrows. (To be continued)
