【Chapter 246】 The storm is coming
"Lord, this is a subordinate to write a haode general's order, please take a look at it."
In the study, Li Xuan and Jia Xu came together.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Xuan presented the order to write haode according to Li Li's intentions.
"Well, let Tie Xiao send it out as soon as possible." Li Li glanced at the brocade silk, then handed it back to Li Xuan, and said with a bow.
Li Xuan put away the silk book, and said softly without saying anything: "Lord, for the demote order of Fan Yong, my subordinates feel that it is a bit too heavy. Now is the time to employ people, Fan Yong leads the martial arts, understands the general situation, takes the overall situation into account, and is really a general. The lord put him in the position of the marquis of the infantry battalion, but he buried his talent, and the infantry battalion was not at the moment, only responsible for defending the city and passes. The subordinates implore the lord to think twice. ”
"Wen He is here for this too?" Li Li looked at Jia Xu and groaned.
Jia Xu said respectfully: "The subordinates seconded it. Although Commander Fan Yong was suspected of being good at making claims, he led the army to rescue in a timely manner, commanded properly, and dispatched troops very reasonably, reducing the casualties of our army as much as possible, and capturing more than 20,000 prisoners in one fell swoop. This is a great achievement, and the merits and demerits are offset by the merits, and his subordinates suggested that the lord should punish him for half a year, and there would be no need to remove him. Please also ask the Lord to be wise. ”
"In this way, do you two think that Ben will not miss the old love, ignore the brotherhood, and disregard the friendship of the six relatives?" Li Li asked in a deep voice.
After Jia Xu and Li Xuan heard this, their expressions changed greatly, and they got up and knelt down and bowed: "My subordinates don't dare, I don't have this intention, please check it out." ”
Li Li raised his hand to signal the two of them to get up, and said in a deep voice: "Fan Yong is loyal, this will never be doubted, and he is convinced. What you just said is not wrong, Fan Yong's mistake this time is not a big deal. It's not small. The way he let go of Han Sui and Ma Teng was very hidden, and many people didn't notice the abnormality, if Ben didn't pursue the matter, he could have turned a big deal into a small one, and he didn't know. It's just that if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do anything, this matter will be known to the generals sooner or later, and you can't hide it at all. Most importantly, the subsequent impact of this event is significant. If the generals in the army are like Fan Yong, they make their own decisions and do whatever they want. Wouldn't all the generals be able to do their own thing?
In the long run, where is the military prestige and military discipline? Did they take me Li Li in their eyes, if military discipline does not exist, how can the Wuwei Army succeed? So. This matter must be strictly investigated and handled, even if he Fan Yong is the righteous brother of the general! If Ben would have found out that he had private dealings with Han Sui, Ma Teng and others. The removal is just the beginning. Once it is verified, Ben will never show favoritism, and he will not be forgiven! ”
"Ahh The moment Jia Xu and Li Xuan heard Li Li's sentence "Determined to be unforgivable", they exclaimed in shock.
"The subordinates are guilty, please punish the lord!" Jia and Li bowed down and said.
Li Li suddenly grinned. He smiled and said, "Get up and take a seat." This has nothing to do with the two of you, it doesn't have to be. The matter has come to this point, let Li Zhi be responsible for finding out the reason. You don't have to worry about that. ”
Jia Xu and Li Xuan immediately got up and sat down, and when they turned around, they glanced at each other, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time.
The two of them also knew that the lord had a team of small workers called the "Red Ants" intelligence organization. However, this is the only thing they know, and nothing else is known. Many people think that this intelligence organization is in the hands of Li Xuan, the county commander, but in fact, Li Xuan is not in charge of this matter at all, and the actual controller of this fine work is the lord Li Li. Li Xuan had secretly speculated that the person specifically responsible for the intelligence collection was likely to be Li Fu, the old housekeeper in the lord's mansion. But this is just Li Xuan's speculation, which cannot be confirmed, and he does not dare to secretly investigate and collect evidence.
"My lord, I don't know what to do with those more than 21,000 captives?" After sitting down, Li Xuan asked softly.
Li Li groaned and said: "More than 20,000 people are the elite warriors of Han Sui and Ma Teng, and it would be a pity to abandon them." If they are disbanded and sent to the counties for resettlement, they are afraid that they will be a nuisance to the locality and cause trouble. In this way, they and more than 10,000 Hutu iron cavalry will be disorganized and reorganized into an army. Temporarily stayed in Guzang City for training, Li Zheng, Huan Wolf, Meng Chong, Huang Lie and others were responsible for daily training, and Li Xian temporarily served as the commander of the more than 30,000 troops. After Ben will return to Liangzhou, specific arrangements will be made. What do you two think? ”
"This is very good, the subordinates have no objections, and the lord is wise." Jia Xu and Li Xuan said in response.
"Hehehe!" Li Li smiled when he heard this: "Wise? This is nothing more than a stopgap measure, a last resort. Now Chang'an City is an eventful autumn, and the wind and rain are coming! Presumably the two of you have also heard that our Dong Xiangguo has already issued an order to make the little emperor an imperial concubine. A twelve or thirteen-year-old child actually wants to establish a concubine, and he makes such a big announcement to the world. I wonder what the two of you think about this? ”
After Jia Xu heard this, he continued: "Lord, this is what my subordinates are here to ask for advice from my lord. The Queen Mother decreed that Wang Yun's daughter Diao Chan was the concubine, but the time was very hasty, and she made an order today to marry Diao Chan into the palace tomorrow. There's something strange about this! ”
After Jia Xu finished speaking, Li Xuan continued: "Lord, is there something that my subordinates don't know whether to ask or not?" ”
Li Li smiled and said: "Does Yuan Zhong want to say that Diao Chan is obviously married to the general, why is there still a Diao Chan in Wang Yun's mansion, right?" ”
"The Lord is clear, it is true. Please also ask the lord to make it clear. Li Xuan said respectfully.
Li Li said with a sly smile: "Yuan Zhong doesn't know. Although Wang Yun has no children under his knees, he has a biological daughter named Wang Ying, whose name is Xiu'er. Coincidentally, this Wang Ying and Hongchang are cousins, Wang Ying's biological mother and Hongchang's mother are twin sisters, and Wang Yun is actually Ren Hongchang's uncle. Previously, Dong Xiangguo entered Luoyang, and Wang Yun was afraid that his own daughter would suffer, so he recognized Hongchang as a righteous daughter, but he hid Wang Ying in the mansion and easily did not show up. And the two cousins, Hongchang and Wang Ying, look very similar, just like their mothers, they are not close people who often serve them, and they can't tell who their sisters are.
Previously, Wang Yun personally came to my house to ask for Hongchang, and after being scolded by me, he brushed his sleeves and left. Afterwards, Wang Yun took care of his face, for fear that Lu Bu would be angry and hurt him, and it happened that the woman Lu Bu had taken a fancy to earlier was not Hongchang, but his biological daughter Wang Ying. So Wang Yun asked for Hongchang to no avail, and after tossing a big circle, he had to make a mistake, marrying Wang Ying to Lu Bu as his wife, and by the way, he also called Wang Ying's name Diao Chan. Wang Yun told me about this matter in advance, and I immediately agreed. Therefore, Diao Chan called back his original name Ren Hongchang, and Wang Yunzhi's Queen Ying is now Diao Chan. It's just that I never expected that Wang Yun was also a famous man in the world, ranking third in the world, but he was a treacherous person who coveted glory and wealth. Now, he actually dedicated Diao Chan to the little emperor as a concubine, which is really incredible! ”
After Jia Xu heard this, an unfathomable smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "I'm afraid Wang Yun's move is not just to covet the honorable position of the emperor's relatives, maybe he has other plans. After today's holy decree is issued, as long as it is a clear-eyed person, no one can see that this is Dong Xiangguo in the name of a concubine for the emperor, but in fact, he covets Diao Chan's beauty and wants to take her for himself. What is the use of a child in his early tens? Xiangguo's move is clearly to cover up and cover people's eyes. It's just that the practice of this matter is too clumsy, and it is difficult to hide the opinions of the people in the world and be criticized! ”
Li Xuanshen nodded approvingly and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not just as simple as being criticized by others, and the legacy is endless!" Wang Situ originally promised Wang Ying to Lu Bu, but now he reversed his word and offered Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo again. In this way, how can Lu Bu give up? Previously, Lu Bu brazenly sent troops to fight a vicious battle with our army because the lord had taken in Diao Chan, and the two sides fought blood-stained Bahe and injured each other. And Lu Bu was even more cut off by Jin Gu because of the three fingers of his left hand, and most of his palms were cut off, after which he was afraid that he would no longer be able to shoot with his bow, and the name of the magic arrow would no longer exist. Lu Bu's old wounds have not healed, and now Dong Xiangguo has sprinkled salt on his wounds, snatched love with a knife, and snatched his wife Wang Ying again. In this way, the subordinates are worried that Lu Bu is probably going crazy and will do everything. ”
After speaking, Li Xuan and Jia Xu looked at Li Li in unison, waiting for his choice.
However, to their surprise, Li Li's expression was as calm as water, without the slightest mood swing.
But seeing Li Li leaning on the wide chair, looking up at the beams of the roof, his expression was peaceful, his eyes were as deep as the river and the sea, and he seemed to be indifferent in silence. He just sat quietly, looking up in a daze, there was nothing in his pupils, and his mind was elusive.
After a while, I only heard Li Li mutter: "Yuan Zhong, Wen He, what do you think Ben Jiang should do?" You don't have to shy away from others, there are only three of us here, don't blame the speaker, speak up! ”
After Li Xuan and Jia Xu heard this, they glanced at each other, and then they nodded slightly with resolute expressions.
After a while, Li Xuan said to Li Li in a respectful voice: "Today, Dong Xiangguo covers the sky with one hand, although he is not the emperor, but the power is more prosperous than the emperor. If Xiangguo is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, it may be expected to achieve the hegemony of the emperor, send troops to Kanto, sweep away the princes of various towns, and dominate the world. It's a pity that Xiangguo is close to the age of sixties, and he no longer has the original ambition, is greedy for luxury and absurdity, indulges in pleasure, and does not want to forge ahead. The tiger is old, and he can't help it! The subordinates suggested that the lord should immediately prepare to return to Liangzhou and stay away from the land of right and wrong in Chang'an! ”
Jia Xu continued: "The subordinates agree with what Yuan Zhong said. According to the lord's previous instructions, everything is ready for the Dongyang Valley camp now, and only after the lord's order, Dongyang Valley will be burned. And the new military business has been built, and the guard is very tight, and it is foolproof. Please make a decision quickly! ”
After Li Li heard what they said, he was silent for a long time, and after a while, he got up and said, "I will take Wan'er to the Taishi Mansion tonight, and then persuade Xiangguo." Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, as the son-in-law of Xiangguo, there are some things that must be done, otherwise I will not be at ease. I hope that Xiangguo can take back his fate and change his mind. Otherwise?????? Our army withdrew from Chang'an City, and Wenhe arranged for the army to return to Liangzhou!
