At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, a huge valley was requisitioned by Li Jing, a three-room wooden house was placed at the mouth of the valley, and around the wooden house was a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, in which a few chickens were raised, and outside the fence, a small stream was bypassed in front of the wooden house.
At this time, several horsemen came towards the wooden house, and a few black-clothed warriors next to them originally wanted to come forward to stop them, but after seeing the comer, they quickly fell to the ground, these people are the warriors in the army who are used to protect Li Jing, thinking that although Li Jing lives in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, it cannot be denied that Li Jing has a very high prestige in the army, and he lives at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, how can there be no one to protect him.
"Is the general in there?" Li Xin jumped down, threw the reins in his hand aside, hugged Li Chengzong next to him, and asked the soldier in front of him.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Great General should have entered the valley. Waiting for those horses! A soldier said loudly.
"Get up! You're all here. Li Xin led Li Chengzong, walked across the bridge, crossed the stream, and came to the outside of the fence, but saw the door of the house open inside, and a white-haired woman walked out with a dustpan, and some rice and the like were clearly visible in the dustpan.
"Old sister-in-law." Li Xin looked at the comer, arched his hand and said, "Old sister-in-law, is Brother Jing here?" ”
"Your Majesty, the pharmacist is behind! Alas! He knew all day long the horses that served him. As soon as the red-whisked girl saw Li Xin, her face was suddenly full of smiles, and she rushed to open the fences, and when she saw Li Chengzong outside, there were more smiles on her face, and she pulled Li Chengzong in and said, "King Han hasn't come to see the old man for a long time." ”
"If you go back to your wife, the student is too heavy on her studies, so she only came to see her today. It's really unfilial, and I ask my wife to forgive me. Li Chengzong fell to the ground like a little adult.
"You, everything is good, but this etiquette is too much, and it doesn't look like your father at all." The red-whisked girl took Li Chengzong by the hand and said, "Your father and the pharmacist are friends of life and death, and here it is like being at home, don't be restrained." Let's go, my master will make food for you, and let your father and emperor talk to your master. ”
Li Chengzong glanced at Li Xin. Seeing Li Xin waving his hand, he happily followed the red whisk girl into the cabin. The cooking skills of the Red Whisk Girl are still commendable.
Li Xin walked towards the valley on the side, and before he got close, he heard a burst of neighing of horses from the valley, which was huge, and it was obvious that Li Jing had raised a lot of war horses in it.
There was also a wooden fence at the mouth of the valley, and there were a few soldiers guarding it, and when they saw Li Xin coming, they hurriedly opened the gate. What came into view was a huge valley, green and grassy, and a small stream running through the middle of the meadow. Before Li Xin entered the valley, he saw countless war horses roaring in the distance.
"Tsk, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of horses!" Song He couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Where does the general have so much money? ”
"Do you think that so many war horses can be supported by the general alone?" Li Xin said disdainfully: "Tsk, go see the general." This great general knows how to enjoy. ”
Li Xin saw that under a big tree in the distance, Li Jing was wearing a cloth coat and a hat on his head. Leaning on the chaise longue, the breeze blows on the grassland, and you can even see the general holding a boom in his hand.
"Brother Jing, you are very happy here, but I am busy there." Li Xin pulled Li Chengzong to walk under the big tree with a smile, Li Jing felt that someone was coming, and took off the hat on the top of his head, and when he saw that it was Li Xin, he quickly stood up, and was about to salute, but was stopped by Li Xin, and said with a smile: "Why do you and I have to be so polite, today is to come to you to play." ”
At this time, Song He and others had already moved two chairs from Li's house, let Li Xin and Li Chengzong sit, and took some melons and fruits and put them aside, and the three of them sat down.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're here today, I'm afraid it's not just to see the old minister!" Li Jing looked at Li Xin's appearance and asked, "Could it be that I can't stay in the palace again." ”
"Brother Jing still understands me, yes, this time I came, I just want to ask the general's opinion, the imperial court has been recuperating for more than half a year, in the spring, because of the drought problem, so I gave up the conquest of Goguryeo, and now it is almost autumn, although this year's grain production reduction has become a foregone conclusion, but in Xu Xuanche sent a lot of grain back, I am ready to go to Goguryeo, what does the general think?" Li Xin patted his thigh and said: "The general also knows, the government has calmed down during this time, if you don't conquer and solve Goguryeo, I'm afraid that the Tubo people will unite with Goguryeo again to deal with the Tang Dynasty, the power of Tubo is increasing every day, Songtsan Gampo monk Nang, Lu Dongzan The three monarchs and ministers cooperate very well, and the power on the plateau is getting bigger and bigger, which is not a good thing for the Central Plains." ”
The plateau will always be a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty, until hundreds of years later, the plateau will be reluctantly incorporated into the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty, but the real rule is very difficult, this only long-term ethnic integration, the plateau is famous and completely dissolved in the long river of history, so that the plateau will not be honest in the future to have other thoughts that should not have.
"Plateau, hey, I don't know if the minister will have a chance to seize the plateau for His Majesty in the future!" Li Jing touched his leg and said with some sighs.
"As long as the general is here, whether it is fighting for me on the battlefield or sitting in the rear, he is the pillar of the imperial court, and with the general here, it will be easier for me to fight." Li Xin said with a smile: "I still hope that when I am old, I can be neighbors with the general and herd horses and sheep together!" ”
"Your Majesty laughed." After hearing this, Li Jing immediately shook his head, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty wants to deal with Goguryeo, there is only one word, quickly, let Pei Renji lead the army to attack from the south, and His Majesty will lead the cavalry to attack from the north, and when Goguryeo has not yet reacted, occupy most of the cities of Goguryeo, destroy all the facilities of Goguryeo, and burn their grain and grass, Goguryeo itself has lost a lot over the years, Your Majesty is like this, I am afraid that they don't even have food to eat, how can they support the long-term war with Your Majesty." ”
"The general is very right." Li Xin nodded and said with a smile: "In addition to asking the general's opinion this time, it is more important to ask the general to go back to the military academy to give lectures, I haven't seen the general enter the military academy for a long time recently." Although there are countless generals in the DPRK and China, there are very few young generations, and the military talents of the generals cannot be buried. If you can't get rid of the sect, you can't teach other people. ”
"Your Majesty, these war horses?" Li Jing looked at the countless war horses in front of him with some embarrassment, and said: "The minister has preliminarily concluded that on the grassland, the most powerful thing is not the sweat and blood horse, nor the Hequ horse, but the kind of war horse. Turkic horses are extremely skilled. The muscles and bones are moderate, and they can go far, and the use of field hunting is incomparable. There are also those war horses, Yantuo horses, Tongroman horses, and Fugu horses, these war horses look relatively short, but in fact they are extremely easy to survive, and they are very simple to raise, and they are very convenient for long-distance attacks. ”
Li Jing pointed to the war horses on the grassland, very proud. Said: "The selection of horses for cavalry is extremely important, and during this time, the minister actually wants to integrate all the characteristics of these war horses to make a more perfect war horse. Now I have a little clue, Your Majesty still asked the old minister to go to class? ”
"War horses are of course very important, but the important thing is to use people, if the general can use good people. No matter how bad the war horse is, it doesn't matter much, if the generals who lead the army are all people with no talent. No matter how powerful a war horse is, it is of no use. Just like the Turks, the Turkic horses are very powerful, but what happened in the end? Haven't we been defeated yet? Li Xin comforted: "The most important thing in marching and fighting is people, what does the general think? ”
Li Jing also nodded, and finally said, "Since Your Majesty said so, what else can the old minister say?" I can only bite the bullet, hey, I finally found something of interest, just because His Majesty came. ”
"Raising horses is naturally handed over to experienced people to do, and the general still came to raise horses in such an identity, I don't know what I want me to say about you?" Li Xin shook his head and said: "Now that my Tang Dynasty has defeated the Turks, some are war horses, and in the future, there will be time and opportunity, so that those who understand this matter can cultivate high-quality war horses, and the main task of the general is to teach the generals and train more disciples of the general." ”
"Your Majesty is laughing again." Li Jing's face was moved, he stood up, and said: "The generals of the world will only be the students of His Majesty, the ministers are old, and the sons of the ministers, Your Majesty has also seen them, and there are a few people who can inherit the talents of the ministers and serve Your Majesty." Li Jing shook his head, and there was a trace of emotion in his voice.
Li Xin frowned, in fact, he was also surprised, what kind of character Li Jing is, such a character actually has two very mediocre sons, this is a very curious thing, whether it is Li Jing or a red whisk girl, they are all very powerful characters, one marches and fights, invincible, and the other is strong in martial arts, no matter which son is trained, it should be a powerful person, at least he should get the true biography of one of them, but now, Li Xin still hasn't seen Li Dejian, There is something special about Li De Award and the two of them, at most they are middle-class, which is obviously very unreasonable.
"Your Majesty, I'm here, I guess lunch has been prepared, just waiting for Your Majesty to taste it! In the countryside, coarse tea and light rice, I'm afraid Your Majesty can't swallow it! Li Jing did not continue, since he decided to teach and educate people, his personality was very free, so he took Li Xin to lunch, and did not continue on this issue.
"Chengzong, what do you say about the qualifications of your two senior brothers?" On the way back, Li Xin suddenly asked.
"More than loyalty, not enough agility." Li Chengzong thought about it, hesitated for a while and said, "It's very good for Erchen." ”
Li Xin just snorted and didn't continue to ask, although Li Chengzong is smart, but in the end he is younger, and everyone who is good to him remembers, of course, this is more than loyal, and the words of lack of sensitivity do not mean that the two have no advantages, in fact, this is the advantage of the two, but such a character is undoubtedly not matched with the identity of Li Jing, the general, the dignified son of Li Jing, how can it be like this, it can only be said that it is unreasonable, which is obviously not in line with common sense.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid heard that the two sons of the great general are still the same as the general outside, maintaining a humble style, if it weren't for the fact that everyone in the capital is very familiar, I'm afraid no one will know that these two people are the sons of the general." Song He explained on the side.
"And what do you mean?" Li Xin asked with some hesitation.
"The general is avoiding suspicion." Song He said in a low voice: "The general is like a god, and the family has a family history, and the two Li adults at least know some about the things in the army according to the reason, but the slave maid heard that the two Li adults know very little about the things in the army, and there is no difference between them and ordinary generals, and even inferior to those generals, which is obviously not in line with common sense. ”
Li Xin listened and nodded, Song He's words were not said thoroughly, but he had already said the principle, and he said it thoroughly, Li Jing was avoiding suspicion and reassuring himself. Let's ask Li Jing is a general of the imperial court, holding the power of the imperial court, although he has won Li Xin's trust, but he can't guarantee that Li Xin still trusts his son? If his son is very talented, he will definitely be supported by the generals in the army, and the father and son are both generals at the same time, which will definitely become a good story.
But such a good story will definitely arouse Li Xin's suspicion, how can military power be in the hands of one person? In the end, it was the Li Jing family who was unlucky, so the Li brothers were not trained in the army, or even far away from the barracks, giving people a mediocre appearance, whether they were pretended to be or not, but at least in the eyes of outsiders.
"General, hey! I still don't believe me! Thinking of this, Li Xin whipped a horse whip on a big tree on the side of the road.
"The general is so painstaking, my father should be rewarded." After Li Chengzong heard this, he couldn't help but persuade: "In order to maintain the affection of the monarch and the minister, he actually let the two sons hide their clumsiness, where can such a courtier be found!" Shouldn't my father be happy? ”
"As far as you know." Li Xin glared at his son dissatisfied, I am afraid that only his own son would say this kind of thing to himself, but others did not have the courage to do so.
General Li Jing is undoubtedly a capable minister, and now it seems that Li Jing, no matter what position he is, will be humble, obedient, and clumsy to the extreme, perhaps it was the situation when he was downtrodden in Ma Yi that cultivated Li Jing's character, this kind of character can not be said to be good, nor can it be said bad, but it just makes Li Xin feel a little emotional.
