Chapter 57: Jealousy
It's short, and there's nothing to say about the night. Early the next morning, when Zhang Jingming and the princess went to see Indra II, Zhang Jingming was left alone.
The princess also wanted to help her husband say a few words, but Indra II did not want to give her daughter this face.
After letting the princess leave, Indra II sat on the throne and looked at Zhang Jingming and said, "First of all, this king wants to admit that you are indeed very good. This time in the recapture battle of Hengshan Pass, this king handed over the command to you, and you also gave this king a satisfactory answer.
In this regard, the king is grateful to you. ”
"Father's words are serious." Zhang Jingming arched his hand and smiled: "Since the father and the king have married their daughters to the son-in-law, then the son-in-law naturally wants to give advice to the father and solve problems."
These are the most basic things, and the father does not have to take them to heart. ”
"Hmm." Indra II nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that this king chose you to be Nian'er's husband, and he didn't choose the wrong person." ”
Zhang Jingming smiled and did not answer, and then Indra II continued: "But there is one thing that this king cares about very much. ”
"Father, please speak."
"This king heard earlier that Li Jue disturbed the morale of the army and fled from the battle. So, he was killed by you in front of the battle to make an example, is this true? As soon as Indra II's eyes narrowed, it meant that he had begun to send out red flags.
Although Zhang Jingming received the signal, he was not afraid.
He arched his hand and said seriously: "Li Jue, as a member of the Jiaozhi royal family, although he fled to occupy the city and country, he has bad intentions, and he wants to cooperate with the outside and destroy me to occupy the city......"
"How can you be so sure? What if he doesn't have that thought? ”
Zhang Jingming suddenly smiled, he blinked and said, "Does he have this kind of thought, doesn't the father know better than the younger son-in-law?"
The son-in-law has only been in contact with Li Jue for a few months, and the father has been in contact with him for a longer time, right? ”
Indra II said expressionlessly: "But no matter how he says it, he is also a royal family, even if he wants to be executed, he can't be so hasty." ”
Zhang Jingming has a headache, people in these countries always look like birds. What I like the most is the speech of the cloud and mountain fog cover, and the two sides obviously know everything.
It's like they don't have much confidence in their intelligence, so they have to prove how smart they are in this way.
However, really smart people don't need to prove their IQ in this way at all, thinking that between Tang Ning and Zhao Xu, there are many things that don't need to be said, and the two of them know it.
However, in the face of Indra II, who wanted to save face, Zhang Jingming had nothing to say. sighed helplessly and said: "This move is caused by the negligence of the son-in-law, if the father has concerns, please punish the son-in-law." ”
"You said it yourself, and the king didn't say he would punish you." Indra II said this
Laughing, he immediately called the waiter and whispered a few words in his ear.
………………
Although the Champa State won the first battle of Annam, Tang Ning did not want to march at this time, on the grounds that the Champa State had not yet achieved enough results to make Jiaozhi look sideways.
If the Champa states took away a large area of land and a large number of residents in Jiaozhi, even if Li Changjie wanted to hold his troops on the banks of the Fuliang River, the emperor of their family would not agree.
In this case, the Zhenjiang army and the Jiaozhi army scolded each other across the Fuliang River.
One scolded the other for being a turtle that only shrunk its head, and the other scolded back and said that you are also a girl who does not dare to go into battle.
All in all, the two sides come and go, and it's a lot of fun.
Li Changjie stood on the bank of the river and commanded his subordinates in a low voice: "The Fuliang River is the first front of Jiaozhi to defend against the Song people, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no loss.
A few other lines of defense that Ben Shuai asked you to arrange a month ago, how are they arranged? ”
"Back to Dashuai, it has already been arranged." The subordinate grinned and said, "There are two in the jungle alone, if the Song people dare to come, they will not return." ”
"Good." Li Changjie patted his subordinates on the shoulders and said approvingly: "With your assistance, it's really reassuring!" ”
"Da Shuai has won the award, if it weren't for Da Shuai who gave the villain a bite to eat, the villain would not have this scene now."
"Don't thank Ben Shuai, thank Your Majesty. It was His Majesty who took you in and put you in the army. ”
"Hehe, what the marshal said is right, it is indeed His Majesty who took in the villain. But isn't it still you who promotes the villain? The villain is not a white-eyed wolf, although the villain does not know how to read, but the villain still knows the four words of Zhi'en Tubao. ”
"Haha! Your kid's mouth really makes Ben Shuai speechless. Good! If the defensive line you have arranged this time can defuse the attack of the Song people, then Ben Shuai will definitely suggest to His Majesty that you be promoted to a partial general after he returns.
What do you think? ”
"Then the villain will first congratulate the handsome man on winning a partial general!"
With that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
After laughing for a while, Li Changjie asked, "Who is the commander opposite?" Have you inquired? ”
"Back to Dashuai's words, as early as a month ago, the villain had already inquired about it.
That person's surname is Tang, his name is Ning, and his word is Mingyuan, and he is a native of Runzhou, Liangzhejiang Road.
It is said that his parents died when he was a child, and he was adopted by a kind hermit who passed by all the way. Since then, for more than ten years, he has followed the hermit, thirsty for morning dew, and stayed in a thatched house at dusk. Acquire a strange art, know astronomy at the top, and know geography at the bottom.
At the same time, he is also proficient in medical skills and arithmetic. The march and the battle are also their own opinions. This person can be described as a civil and military all-rounder who can lead the troops immediately and calm the people under the horse. ”
"The land of the Central Plains
It is vast, and talents are like the Qing of the River, emerging in endlessly. Every few years, a world-famous person appears.
And I don't have such a talent in Jiaozhi, the Central Plains, Ben Shuai really wants to take a look in his lifetime. Li Changjie said with a little regret.
Although Li Changjie is a eunuch, he is different from Cheng Yang.
Cheng Yang loves his majesty, and Li Changjie loves his country.
For the rise of Jiaozhi, Li Changjie doesn't know how much blood is on his hands.
He killed a lot of people in the Annan region, and he also killed a lot of people in the Song Kingdom. Every time he dreamed back in the middle of the night, these people would come to him and ask him why he was doing this.
A different lord with a weak heart would have been driven crazy by this situation a long time ago. But Li Changjie thinks that everything he does is for the sake of Jiaozhi, and he has to do it for the sake of this foundation that has lasted for thousands of years.
So he doesn't feel guilty at all, such a person is the most respectable, but also the most terrifying.
But what made him sad was that the top talents of the Song people were always emerging. Every once in a while, a fierce man who is famous all over the world will pop up.
It has been 180 years since the founding of the country, but in such a long time, there are not so many powerful people.
Li Changjie often wonders what is the reason for this, but he can't come up with a good answer after thinking about it. Perhaps the only one who can explain this phenomenon is the outstanding people of the Central Plains.
"Does he have any weaknesses?" Soon, Li Changjie came back to his senses from his thoughts. He sighed and asked his right-hand man.
The subordinate shook his head and said, "This villain really doesn't know, and he doesn't lack money either." In terms of beauties, it is rumored that his wife and concubine have their own appearances.
In terms of power, since he became an official, the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty has taken great care of him......
With such a person, I'm afraid his weaknesses are not so easy to find......"
Li Changjie sighed deeply again, and he couldn't help but start to recall, and Guo Kui was the same back then.
An iron-blooded general who is difficult to find shortcomings will basically not make mistakes on the battlefield. Such an opponent is the most troublesome.
"Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will always be a way to do it then." Li Changjie shook his head and said: "Ordered the whole army to be on alert, this commander always feels that their actions are a little abnormal, why don't they attack for a long time?" Could it be that they are waiting for something?
Has something unusual happened in China recently? ”
"Hui Dashuai, except for the declaration of war on us by the Champa State, there is nothing else unusual. But it is not surprising that the Cham people declared war, since the Hengshan Pass was taken away by us, they have been thinking about taking the Hengshan Pass back. ”
"Well......" Li Changjie nodded: "You still need to be vigilant on the Zhancheng side, although they don't have any enterprising intentions, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not collude with the Song army." Send another 5,000 people, I'm always uneasy in my heart......"
