Da Wei Chun

Chapter 655 has been prepared
No wonder Cui Guang and Wei Zijian would speak bluntly to Li Chengzhi and send themselves back to Guanzhong as soon as possible?

Nine times out of ten, it was expected that this festival was scheduled, and the imperial court might lure Hu soldiers into the pass, causing chaos in the pass.

It's no wonder that Yuan Cheng wanted to scrape Guanzhong three feet away, and he wanted to forcibly requisition food even if he was not afraid of the officials forcing the people to rebel.It turns out that the queen mother and this dog thief have already lost their minds. In order to put down Li Chengzhi, they would rather pay for the entire Guanzhong...

When the time comes, why don't you give it a try?
Why didn't Li Chengzhi know in the end, and all the gentry in Guanzhong might not be able to escape...

Li Shao's eyes were about to burst, and he jumped up suddenly: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you let me prepare the horse?"

……

The west wind is blowing, and the spring is cold.

Qilian Mountain is still covered with snow, but green shoots have emerged under the wall bay.

A group of dozens of riders rushed out of Guancheng and headed east.Li Chengzhi saw him off at the gate of the city, and the cavalry gradually drifted away until it turned into a black spot before he walked down the tower.

At some point, Cui Guang and Wei Zijian, who left in a huff, went back again, sitting in the yamen hall drinking tea.

Seeing Li Chengzhi come in, Cui Guang sighed softly: "Li Yuanbo is gone?"

"gone!"

Li Chengzhi replied, and bowed deeply to Cui Guang: "If it weren't for Shangshu's guidance today, the younger generation would still be in the dark. I am very grateful!"

"Why do you need to be humble?"

Cui Guang didn't take credit at all, instead his face was full of desolation, "If you hadn't expected it, how could you have withdrawn your army from Daqi and Bigan City, and then marched into Dunhuang, so as not to worry about the future?"

If you said that you couldn’t understand it before, but after seeing Li Shao and seeing the court’s imperial decree of appeasement and reward, Cui Guang and Wei Zijian knew that it was not that Li Chengzhi was greedy and eager for quick success, and wanted to take the whole of Hexi into his pocket as soon as possible. middle.It was because he was afraid of being cheated.

Hexi has reached the western border, as long as the ancient silk road is guarded, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will not be able to enter, so who else can make him so worried?
It is nothing more than Rouran to the north of Junji Mountain, or Gaochang and Gaoche to the west of Dunhuang.

Because of this, Cui Guangcai expected that Li Chengzhi would plan ahead, worrying that the imperial court would be completely shameless and would collude with the Hu people and borrow troops from them.

Therefore, Cui Guang decided that since Li Chengzhi had expected it a long time ago, if he didn't point out today, it would take half a day for Li Chengzhi to figure out the joints...

"Besides, there is no need to thank you. The old man's worries are nothing more than the people in Guanzhong and the common people in this world. Therefore, you must not be sentimental..."

Speaking of this, Cui Guang's facial features wrinkled, and his old face seemed to be twisted into a bitter gourd, "I only blame the old man for being soft-hearted, but asking for trouble: but one day, if someone leaks the old man's words of persuading you to be released to Li Yuanbo today In half a sentence, nine times out of ten, you will get the notoriety of cheating and double-deckering... It's a pity, it's a pity, the old man has been wise all his life..."

Li Chengzhi replied firmly: "Don't worry, Shangshu, it will never be leaked!"

"You know a bird's hair... Of course you don't, what about Li Yuanbo?"

The more Cui Guang thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and his beard trembled, "I'm going to be killed by you little thief..."

Li Chengzhi changed his mind for a while, and couldn't help being happy.

As Cui Guang said, it is really possible.

He was a literary hero of his generation, and he served as Taixue and Guozijian for nearly [-] years, so naturally he has peaches and plums all over the world.

He is also the elder of the three dynasties, and his reputation as a virtuous man is well known in the world. He can be described as highly respected and unparalleled in kindness.

If Li Chengzhi is demoted by such people, the whole country will be in an uproar.For Li Chengzhi, it was like sending charcoal in the snow, but for the court, it was like adding insult to injury.

Of course, Li Chengzhi definitely can't do such a thing. First, even if he releases rumors, no one will believe them. Second, it is very likely to be self-defeating, which will arouse the disgust of Cui Guang and the Shandong gentry.He thought he was eager for quick success and unscrupulous in doing things, deliberately tarnishing Cui Guang's name.

But for Li Shao, there was no pressure at all.When we get back to Guanzhong, we just need to tell the truth, what Cui Guang said to persuade Li Chengzhi not to embarrass him, can arouse countless people's daydreams.

When it is reported back to Luojing, how should Gao Ying and the Yuan family treat Liu Fang and You Zhao who are also close to Li Chengzhi.And how should we treat the Shandong gentry represented by Cui Guang and Liu Fang?
Naturally, it is impossible to make a quick move, because of such rumors, they doubt the Shandong gentry.But at this time when the wind is raging and the trees are full of soldiers, once the seeds of doubt are planted, it will not take long for them to grow into towering trees...

The more Li Chengzhi thought about it, the happier he became, but the more Cui Guang thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

"I regret that I should be soft-hearted for a moment... Even if all the nobles in Guanzhong are dead, and the Li family in Longxi is copied and beheaded, what does this have to do with this old man?"

He scolded angrily, "You treacherous thief, for the same reason, you can release Li Shao, why can't you also release the old man back to the court?"

Li Chengzhi laughed, cupped his hands and said: "At this time and at that time, the reason why the minister did not let go is because the imperial court broke its promise and abandoned its proposals, and lived up to its own words: openly greeted me, but secretly sent Yuan Yu and Luo Jian to lead an army to attack me in the West Sea... ...As long as this lawsuit is not settled, the younger generation will definitely not release the minister to the court...

But Uncle Shi is different, the so-called two armies are at war, if you don't kill the envoy, even if the younger generation wants to raise the flag against you, you have to inform the court, so as not to lose the way of a gentleman..."

"You little thief, how dare you call yourself a gentleman? Shame on the old man..."

Cui Guang overturned several cases with one kick, and left the yamen hall angrily.

Li Chengzhi was not annoyed, and Shi Shiran bowed to him with enough courtesy.

"Don't blame Uncle Xiao for being rude, he was annoyed that elder brother (Li Shao) didn't know how to say when he left. Even if he was pretending, he should ask you when he will be released..."

Li Chengzhi rolled his eyes and said nothing.

If you ask, you just don't let it go.If he didn't ask, it can be regarded as Cui Guang didn't want to leave... Li Shao knew it well, so he didn't mention it.

And Cui Guang was furious because of this.

I don't know what Li Chengzhi's thoughts were, but I can roughly guess that he must be plotting against Cui Guang.Wei Zijian sighed sadly:
"The so-called rush to the doctor in a hurry, if it is as expected by brother Xiao, if the imperial court wants to risk the world's displeasure and lure the Hu people into the pass, it will be the same as digging the foundation and seeking death. It will be a day of mourning and humiliation. , The hearts of the people are greatly lost. You only need to be benevolent and righteous, and one will disappear... But the premise is, how do you break the situation?"

Li Chengzhi pondered for a while, and only replied: "Uncle, don't worry, my son-in-law has his own plans!"

If he is caught off guard, nine times out of ten he will be beaten in a hurry, even a crushing defeat is not out of the question.

But even if this juncture has been expected, how can we turn a blind eye to it, ignore it, and wait for the disaster to happen?

Withdraw the army during the New Year's Eve and make various arrangements, but for this.

After a short pause, Li Chengzhi asked again: "Shangshu Cai was very angry just now. He was afraid that his anger would add to his anger, so he didn't dare to say more. However, I thought about it and couldn't understand it. I can ask my uncle to explain: why did Shangshu dare to predict? Will the imperial court put all their eggs in one basket and attract foreign soldiers?"

"It's not that Uncle Xiao didn't know the foresight, it's that there is a clue: it's only a small Jinming, but it's as strong as a rock. Xi Kangsheng has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and he can't attack for a long time. Not to mention you are watching Hexi, Want to wait for the opportunity?

In the early autumn, it was heard that the six towns were in chaos, which made the people in the court panic and everyone was in danger.On the Qixi Festival, when Yuan Cheng gave the Empress Dowager a banquet for all the assistants, he mentioned a sentence in the spirit of wine: If the rebels become too powerful and the court cannot continue, can we implement a plan to drive away the tigers and devour the wolves...

At that time, Uncle Xiao and others had guessed: It seemed that Yuan Cheng was joking after drinking, but if the Empress Dowager didn't agree, how dare he speak freely in front of the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty?
Later, the Empress Dowager issued an order to order Minmin, Cang Erbu, and Guanzhong and Hedong states to levy additional autumn grain and silk, but they were not transferred to Xi Kangsheng, but all were transported to the army. Brother Xiaobo was even more determined : Nine times out of ten, the Empress Dowager has already made up her mind that she wants to ignore the laws of her ancestors and risk the disapproval of the world...

Not long after that, the Empress Dowager frequently summoned the Yuan Clan and the important officials of the Xianbei, which confirmed this conjecture..."

After talking for a while, Wei Zijian looked at Li Chengzhi again, with deep meaning in his eyes: "It's you, who seem to be able to predict the future, and you have taken all kinds of precautions before the imperial court sent envoys to foreigners?"

"It has nothing to do with the prophets, it's just that I have always been cautious, and I am prepared for danger when I am safe, and I like to prevent problems before they happen..."

"This is the long-term way!"

Wei Zijian praised him, and stood up again, "Brother Xiao is afraid that he will be very angry, so I will go and comfort you for a while, and he will stay soon..."

"My son-in-law is sending off my uncle!"

Li Chengzhi got up quickly, "After two days of busy work, my son-in-law will set up wine to apologize to Shangshu!"

"Stay busy for two days?"

Hearing this sentence, Wei Zijian stopped again, and looked at Li Chengzhi meaningfully, "If you have time to spare, it's better to spend more time with your wife and children... I hope you can bear more..."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Chengzhi to respond, he walked out with his hands behind his back.

Li Chengzhi stared at his back blankly, as if stunned.

Wei Yu couldn't be more obedient, she always does what she says, what could be wrong?
In addition, my mother has always liked her the most, and she can't wait to hold her in the palm of her hand all day long, why should she worry about it by herself?
My uncle is clearly trying to point me out: Gao Wenjun has given birth to his eldest son, and even his concubine Zhang Jingmo has given birth to a daughter, but Wei Yu is still silent.
Li Chengzhi was so embarrassed, he scratched his head subconsciously: Being able to force the father-in-law and son-in-law to say such things shows how dissatisfied Wei Zijian is with him?

Fortunately, the little girl is sensible and covers up for herself everywhere, otherwise, let alone Wei Zijian, if Guo Yuzhi knows the truth, the Guanya may be burned.

It's really unfair to Wei Yu...

He sighed sadly, and called Li Cong: "Send someone back to the mansion, just say that I will go back later. Go to the university to pick up my wife, and go back to the mansion with me..."

"promise!"

Li Cong respectfully responded and ran to deliver the order.

Li Xiaoxian went to the door again, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lang, just now General Huangfu sent Tang Qi to report, but what he sent was an official document, which has been handed over to the military department. Eldest brother (Li Liang) just sent someone to ask, calling Lang If you have any other orders, you can be brought back by Tang Qi..."

"What did Huangfu say?"

"There is no change between Fucheng City and Shudun City, everything remains the same..."

"Then stare at it... Let me know Li Liang, now that the weather is getting warmer, although the people are strong and the livestock are no longer suffering from the cold, but the permafrost is getting deeper and deeper, and the road is getting softer and softer day by day. So we have to hurry up, before the spring rain as soon as possible, and bring more food, grass, ordnance to Huangfu..."

After a short pause, he asked again: "Where is Li Yongshou, do you have an urgent report!"

"There is no urgent report, just a routine every three days. The most recent report was sent in the evening of the day before yesterday, saying that Junji Mountain and Zhuoxie Mountain are as usual, and no Huqi or convoys have been seen!"

"Order Li Liang, when Tang Qi reports again tomorrow, order him to tell Li Yongshou: Be careful not to be careless!"

"promise!"

Li Xiaoxian left without taking orders, Li Chengzhi thought for a while, then asked his cronies to hold up candles, and looked at the map on the wall.

The map is sewn after bleaching several pieces of cowhide, and then painted with lacquer and ink.It has a radius of nearly ten feet, and it almost covers a wall. It is densely packed and marked with large and small characters.

And this is just a map north of the Yangtze River.

This is drawn by Li Chengzhi himself, even if there are some errors, it is not too big.What's commendable is that Li Chengzhi will personally intervene afterwards wherever Xihai soldiers, scouts, Tangqi, and even Xizuo set foot.

Not to mention where there is a mountain, where there is a river, where there is a city, even if it is a pond, a ditch, a village, or even a small tribe with less than a hundred tents, he will ask to understand, and he will understand. Mark it clearly on the map.

With such a map in hand, the general can follow the map to find out what to do, no matter marching, camping, or forming an array, he can get twice the result with half the effort...

Li Chengzhi looked at it for a while, and crossed Dunhuang Town with his finger.

Li Song has already dispatched his cavalry, and the distance is only a thousand miles away, and within ten days at most, they will be able to reach the city of Dunhuang.

What's more, the elite town army has been defeated by the bank of Juyan Lake along with Yuan Zhi, and the city is full of old and weak people. Although there are many young men left, but with artillery in hand, it is not difficult for Li Song to break through the town.

At that time, there will be no worries about the future, even if the imperial court really colludes with Rouran, they will not be afraid of enemies.

In addition, there are 24 households registered in Dingkou in Fanxi Liangzhou, and nearly 20 live in Dunhuang, and the grain storage is more than a million stones.Therefore, just Dinghu and Cunliang in Dunhuang Town can make Li Chengzhi wake up with a smile from his dreams...

After thinking about it, Li Chengzhi withdrew his finger and clicked on the north of Juyan Lake.

Here is a vast land of thousands of miles, with few mountains and no water, and almost no barriers.If you ride a fast horse, you can explore three or four hundred miles in one day.Therefore, if Rouran wants to disappear, it is absolutely impossible to march quietly.

Unless Rouran made a big detour, purposely bypassing the big moraine, sending troops from the north road, first to the six towns, and then either attacking the east wing of the West Sea, or entering the pass, and advancing westward through Longshan Mountain.

But in this way, I am afraid that it will be more than five thousand miles.Come and go, but there is no ten thousand miles, and you have to walk eight thousand miles to go up.

With the marching method of dragging the family and the mouth softly and driving the cattle, it will take three or four months to march on the road. This is still under the premise that the weather is beautiful and there is no wind or rain.

So I don't say whether the court can afford to wait, but Rouran people can't afford to wait...
