Chapter 217: It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs
"The so-called elite soldiers of Jingnan Kingdom and the township army trained by you, teacher, are simply incomparable." Guo Huai drank a cup of tea in one go, wiped the corners of his mouth, and grinned, "As soon as I went into battle, the five thousand soldiers and horses of Jingnan Kingdom were killed by our thousand people. ”
Yao Hong said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the teacher, Jing Nanguo really didn't fight, and let us touch three county towns in a row, and I didn't remember it for a long time." If it weren't for the worry that the old brother would fight for consumption senselessly, in the northwest of Jingnan Kingdom, we would definitely turn him upside down. ”
"Teacher, His Majesty asked us why he didn't accept the appeasement." Zuo Ziguang crossed many details and directly said what Li Zhongyi is most concerned about now, "I said, everyone is used to being idle, and they are also made very cold by Meng Chang of Houshu." ”
Li Zhongyi nodded, Zuo Ziguang's reason is good, even if Chai Rong is suspicious, it is not easy to say anything.
"Teacher, according to me, let's go out of Kaifeng City together, occupy Jingnan Kingdom first, and then unify the Central Plains." Guo Huai's arrogant nonsense aroused the eyes of Yao Hong and Zuo Ziguang.
Li Zhongyi asked Zuo Ziguang quietly: "You also see it this way?" ”
Zuo Ziguang pursed his lips and said, "The teacher's family is all in Kaifeng, who dares to guarantee that no one will be left behind, and he can rush out of the city?" ”
Yao Hong took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said slowly: "There are few small people in Jingnan, and it is a flat river, so there is no danger to defend. Even if we take Jingnan, we will be in a situation where we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. In time, it may be possible, but. After meeting the Son of Heaven, the students thought that the Son of Heaven would not allow us to become powerful in Jingnan. ”
Li Zhongyi nodded frequently. Three old departments, three views, but they are all very reasonable.
Zuo Ziguang is right, if it weren't for his family being pinched by Chai Rong, Li Zhongyi would probably have achieved a great cause no matter whether he was in Shu or based in Jingnan.
It's a pity. People are not as good as heaven, and Li Zhongyi's family was calculated by Chai Rong to Kaifeng City.
What's more. Chai Rong's health was not good, he died early, and Chai Zongxun ascended the throne at the age of seven.
The lord is suspicious, and the ministers' minds are unstable. Only then was Zhao Lao Er took the opportunity to take advantage of it. easily usurped the Zhou Dynasty and established the Northern Song Dynasty.
Locally, Jingnanguo can indeed be used as a base for starting. However, if you consider the overall situation, as long as Chai Rong falls, Li Zhongyi also has a chance to grab a big bargain before Zhao Laoer.
You can't win 'em all. Benefits and risks are destined to coexist!
Li Zhongyi now holds the Broken Army, and has the help of 5,000 elites from Guo Huai and others. When there are big changes in the future, hehe, the opportunity to use the troubled waters to touch the big fish will definitely multiply!
"What does the Son of Heaven mean, do you understand?" Li Zhongyi looked at Guo Huai with a smile, wanting to see what progress he had made after not seeing each other for more than a year?
"The Son of Heaven placed us in Yulinwei, and for this alone, the students feel that it is not easy." Guo Huai sighed and said, "Ordinary people, who dares to keep the tiger by their side and not be afraid of backlash?" ”
Yao Hong shook his head and said, "The Son of Heaven treats us preferentially, but secretly he actually does it for the teacher. ”
Zuo Ziguang pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Lao Yao's words are right to the point. The words of the Son of Heaven always revolve around one key point: the Northern Expedition is the most important. ”
Li Zhongyi looked at Zuo Ziguang with relief, this kid has been the king of the mountain for a while, and his knowledge has obviously made great progress, far from Wuxia Ameng.
"How is King Kui now?" Li Zhongyi has been hesitating, and finally asked this question that he was very concerned about.
"At the beginning, when Meng Chang sent troops to surround us, King Kui sent someone to report the news, and we escaped the catastrophe." Guo Huai sighed heavily and touched his head, "Let's fight our way out of the encirclement, and after gaining a firm foothold in Jingnanguo, I heard that King Kui has been robbed of his knighthood by Meng Chang, dismissed from his post, and placed under house arrest to study in Zhang Ye's military camp." ”
Li Zhongyi's heart sank violently, and he said with a solemn face: "I am the one who has affected King Kui." ”
Zuo Ziguang said: "I pondered, desperately trying to snatch King Kui out, the risk is too great, and if you are not careful, it will harm King Kui's life." It's better to wait for the army to go south, and then the inside and outside should be combined, and the certainty of rescuing King Kui is much greater! ”
Li Zhongyi doesn't have any good way now, what Zuo Ziguang said is really good, King Kui is just under house arrest in the army by Zhang Ye, and his life is not in danger.
If they forcibly rob people, the risk is indeed too great. It was a military camp with heavy troops, and it was not in a certain mansion, and within a breath, Zhang Ye's army could kill it, and the probability of destroying the jade was amazing.
In addition, Li Zhongyi really didn't worry about letting others operate and save people, and he himself was stared at by Chai Rong and couldn't get out.
"How is Old Lady Zhao now?" Li Zhongyi always thought about his strategic ally.
Yao Hong sighed softly and said: "The Zhao family was caught off guard by Zhang Ye's sudden army, and the remnants of the Zhao family were defeated and had retreated to Kaizhou (now Kaixian). I heard that Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she vomited blood, and her body and bones were getting worse day by day. ”
Li Zhongyi sighed, the hearts of the Zhao family and the father and son were not aligned, and as a result, the Zhao family did not escape the curse of history in the end, fell into Zhang Ye's plot, and lost the right to speak in Chengdu.
"A few of you, don't come to me in the future, I have elite soldiers in my hands now, and I must be cautious when I am in a place of suspicion." Li Zhongyi was worried about being suspicious of Chai Rong, so he didn't dare to stay Guo Huai and them for a long time, and after eating the wine banquet, he sent them out of the second gate.
Zuo Ziguang carried the so-called "code book" and "password" given by Li Zhongyi in his arms, Yao Hong also had a set of secret contact methods, and Guo Huai was responsible for one-line contact with Wang Dahu.
When Li Zhongyi was in Goryeo, he was idle, and in addition to playing with Caijiao, he also carefully compiled a "code book" based on Arabic numerals and medical English.
In this world, Li Zhongyi dared to pat his chest and say that no one could decipher the secret letters between their master and apprentice except him.
Hearing that Guo Huai and the others had come, Li Dahe looked for Li Zhongyi and advised: "You are now the marquis of the Great Zhou, so you should try to move around as little as possible with the people of Shu, so as not to be suspicious of the melon field and Li Xia." ”
Li Zhongyi nodded with a smile and said, "Grandpa, the old subordinates are here, if they don't even see each other, it will arouse suspicion." ”
Li Dahe sighed and said, "I came to you, there is one more thing, Erlang has not gotten the news of the class exam for a long time." ”
Li Zhongyi frowned and asked Li Dahe: "Grandpa, what did the second brother's portable scholar say?" ”
"It's all nonsense, there is no truth, if it weren't for the fear of alarming Erlang, the old man would definitely beat that dog slave to death." Li Da was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred.
Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that since the Cao family left the Li family, Li Dahe had always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, so the discipline of Li Zhonghao was not as strong as before.
Li Zhongyi led his troops to Goryeo, and no one in the family could restrain Li Zhonghao, but didn't he just release the ducks?
"Grandpa, one of the second brother's classmates is the third brother of Liu Hongan, a member of the Zhongshu House, the child will find an opportunity tomorrow to go to the Guozijian and inquire secretly." Even if Li Zhongyi is a little unhappy with Li Zhonghao in his heart, no matter what, it is his own brother, and there is no way to ignore it.
"That's good, that's good." Li Dahe did not have any acquaintances in Kaifeng City, and his ears and eyes were closed, so he could only count on Li Zhongyi to inquire.
Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, and decided to give Li Dahe a preventive shot in advance, so he simply picked it out and said: "Grandpa, the second brother borrowed thousands of texts from the account room in private, and the bottle has never dared to tell you......
"What?" Li Da and Huo Di stood up and said angrily, "What do you want so much money for? Is the family less than half of his food and clothing? ”
As the saying goes, a loving mother has many defeated children, and this is actually the same when it comes to a loving father.
Li Dahe couldn't bear it for a while, Li Zhonghao had no binding force, so naturally he wouldn't learn well.
Based on Li Zhongyi's experience, Li Zhonghao got so much money from his family, in addition to playing with women, it must be gambling.
Fortunately, in these years, there is no such fatal thing as "Fushou Ointment", otherwise, Li Dahe would not have died in a hurry?
With Li Zhongyi's rich family background, not to mention that Li Zhonghao only took out a few thousand yuan, even if it was tens of thousands?
In line with the idea of not wanting to hurt his younger brother, Li Zhongyi couldn't ignore this matter. It's just that his father Li Dahe is still alive, and Li Zhongyi, who is the eldest brother, can't manage too deeply.
Li Zhongyi didn't blink an eye in the face of thousands of troops, but this business is dozens of times more troublesome than the two armies facing each other head-on!
"Brother Zhen'er, you can't let Erlang go down the evil path." Li Dahe knew that he was at a loss, so he was so angry that he sat on the chair and whispered, "I won't tell you, more than half of the money I paid to open the medical clinic was given to that brute every month." ”
Li Zhongyi was not surprised by this, Li Dahe didn't do it with a good old lady, and insisted on opening a medical center, didn't he just want to save a little private money to supplement Li Zhonghao?
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, the eldest son and the second son are both biological, and the palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, Li Da and this father are indeed quite difficult.
At the beginning, Li Dahe also hid from the Cao family, and privately saved a small house for Li Zhongyi, as well as two hundred taels of silver cakes, as the money for Li Zhongyi's wedding.
Li Zhongyi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Grandpa, the child advises you not to open a medical hall, just at home, staring at the second brother to study hard." As for the expenses of the second brother's wedding, don't worry about it, within 20,000 yuan, all the children will be covered. ”
"Alas, it's all because my father is not patient, and my brother's happy event actually asks you to spend so much, it's all ugly to say it." Li Dahe was extremely pleased, although his younger brother was not very respectful, Li Zhongyi, the elder brother, was completely a brother and friend.
"Grandpa, what I'm most worried about now is that the second brother has fallen into the trap of the enemy." Li Zhongyi simply exposed his biggest worries to Li Dahe, lest something really happen in the future, which would cause great resentment between father, son and brother.
"What do you mean ......" Li Dahe's voice did not fall, but he saw the scholar who had been following Li Zhonghao draw an inkstone, stumbling in, crying and reporting, "Old lady, the big thing is not good, the second master is in the national prison, and he made a big mistake......"
