Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 50 The world is in chaos, the situation is very good

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Outside the Great Wall, a dozen people were sitting on a mound.

The gate of the pass slowly opened, and Hou Jing led his men and twenty horses slowly out and moved to the side of the mound.

"Hou Jing, I thought you weren't coming!"

In the darkness, I couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but the voice was quite familiar.

"I, Hou Jing, have never broken my promise to my brother."

Hou Jing ordered the horses to be handed over to these dozen people, along with a heavy bag of gold.

"Are you really not going back to Mayi with me?"

"No, Mayi is a good place, but my family is all in Huaishuo and I can't go!"

"That's fine! But do you know what to say when we get back?"

"General Li Shengui, the General of the Northern Expedition, broke through Woyang City and entered the palace first. The government troops were overwhelmingly powerful. The gold that the True King had us bring to Beilie Buruo was not recovered!"

"Be careful not to reveal your true identity. Po Liu Han Kongque is not a pushover."

"Don't worry, we're not stupid!"

Hou Jing smiled and felt a little nostalgic listening to the familiar accent.

"I really miss the time in Huaishuo, especially the people there. Oh, and how's that kid He Liuhun doing? Is he still guarding the city wall?"

Everyone laughed.

Hou Jing was a little confused.

"what happened?"

"Not long after you left, this guy married the daughter of the Lou family, and now his son is four years old."

"Which daughter of the Lou family, Lou Heinu?"

"Lou Zhaojun!"

What the hell!

She is a famous beauty!

Hou Jing couldn't help but ask:
"This kid's family is extremely poor, why?"

"It's because he's a well-born man that the daughter of the Lou family fell in love with him at first sight and even gave him a dowry."

This kid is really rich!
I'm not only afraid that my brother will have a hard time, but I'm also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover.

At this moment, Hou Jing had completely lost his longing for his old friend and could not help but curse:

"This bastard!"

"Well done!"

The laughter has faded, and in the cold wind, it is time to say goodbye.

Hou Jing clasped his fists and said:

“Take care along the way!”

"Take care of yourself!"
-
Pingcheng.

Li Shuang was drinking tea beside the lotus pond.

Li Chong came over and said:

"I really didn't realize that you even dared to embezzle the money of Po Liu Han Baling and Yu Jiulu Anagui?"

"Godfather, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"Don't pretend to be me. Even if you do it secretly, it won't be hidden from my eyes!"

At this moment, Li Chong finally showed the majesty of the crouching tiger.

"You manipulate the soldiers, collude with the rebels, defraud the imperial court of money and food, and support the enemy for your own benefit. Killing you ten times is too light a punishment!"

At this point, Li Chong reacted and said:

"You're trying to eat one fish three times!"

"Foster father, what fish are there? Hengzhou is surrounded by mountains and far from the sea. Where do all these fish come from?"

"Don't try to get close to me. The law is unforgiving. Even if he is my adopted son, there is no room for negotiation."

"What do you want?"

Li Chong smiled, came over, and whispered in Li Shuang's ear:
"You kid dragged Qing Gun to the front to block your arrows, so this money should at least be shared by me, right?"

Li Shuang chuckled, and there was a hint of sincerity in his smile.

"Didn't I already give this money?"

Li Chong asked doubtfully:
"When was it given to you?"

"Brother, with this military achievement, you are qualified to be transferred back to Luoyang and get a good position in the Imperial Guard."

Li Chong's face turned pale and he said:
"Is this what I'm giving you?" "A good general isn't made overnight. Doesn't it all come with money?"

Looking at the shameless boy, Li Chong admired him more and more, and because he was happy, he was generous for once.

"You're right, kid. Come early to the celebration party tonight."
-
After the Hengzhou Rebellion was quelled, the protagonist of the banquet was naturally Li Shengui.

Li Chong was very happy.

What father doesn’t want to see his son achieve success?

Even if there is military merit mixed in the water and there are risks, it is still military merit!

Li Chong's eldest son, Li Shizhe, joined the army at a young age and was quite capable of military strategy, but unfortunately he is now terminally ill. This is why Yuan Xu asked him to go to the battlefield, but Li Chong was unwilling to do so.

Firstly, he was old, and secondly, Li Chong was afraid that if he left, he would not even be able to see Li Shizhe for the last time.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to disobey the imperial order!

Li Chong finally came.

Stirred up in the chaos of the northern border.

Looking at Li Shengui who was enjoying great success among the crowd, Li Chonglao felt comforted and drank a few more glasses.

Feeling a little exhausted, Li Chong apologized to everyone, waved his hand, and asked Li Shuang to help him into the room nearby.

After entering the house, Li Chong's body was a little shaky.

"Father, are you okay?"

"A little wine won't hurt."

As he spoke, Li Chong took out an imperial edict from a box beside him and handed it to Li Shuang.

"Shuang'er, take a look."

Li Shuang opened it and frowned.

"Your Majesty, you've only pacified the Six Kingdoms and conquered Baling within two months. Isn't this a bit inconsiderate of your officials?"

"Don't be disrespectful to His Majesty!"

Li Chong invited Li Shuang to sit down, took out the wine jug, and started the second round of drinks.

"Shuang'er, in your opinion, how do we quell the rebellion in the north?"

"The Six Garrisons are already desperate. The more they are pushed, the more they become determined to fight. Furthermore, the Rouran are nearby, and their relationship is ambiguous. The Six Garrisons are not united, and the Rouran appear united but are actually divided. Rather than encircling and suppressing them, it is better to use both suppression and appeasement, secretly sowing discord and defeating them one by one."

Li Chong was overjoyed when he heard this and drank three cups in a row. However, when he put down the cup, his eyes were a little dim.

"Good strategy, just like what I thought, but it's a pity that it can't be implemented!"

"Why?"

"The imperial court is worried about the spread of the disaster in the Six Garrisons. Guanzhong and the Eastern and Western Chiles in the northern borders have all rebelled. We have no choice but to spend more money and manpower. Let me put an end to it quickly!"

"But if we rush to achieve success in the North, wouldn't chaos spread even faster if there's even a slight mistake?"

Li Chong was filled with sorrow and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

"Yeah, it's a pity that Yuanxu is so stubborn!"

Li Shuang quickly looked around and whispered a reminder:
"Don't be disrespectful to His Majesty!"

Li Chong was drunk at this time, and he waved his sleeves to vent his sorrow.

"Your Majesty, you are nothing but a humble boy."

"I asked him to change the town to a state, but he refused to listen."

"I told him not to trust Anagui and allowed him to return north, but he refused to listen."

"I told him not to squander the imperial taxes like his mother did, but he still wouldn't listen."

"The Six Garrisons are in chaos, the Rouran are rebelling, and Guanzhong is unstable. Yet, he puts the blame on me and asks me to clean up his mess!"

On weekdays, Li Chong is like an old fox, never letting anyone slip through the cracks.

But now, he is an old man with a sad face.

"This is his Yuan family's kingdom, or mine, Li Chong's kingdom. Let me help him control it!"

Li Shuang was very excited after hearing this.

"Since the imperial court is worried that if Po Liu Han Baling is not pacified soon, it will cause more rebellions, then if they can just provoke more rebellions first, then there will be no need to rush to pacify Po Liu Han Baling, right?"

"Ok?"

"Foster father, can the rebellion in the Six Garrisons really be quelled?"

Li Chong glanced at Li Shuang, and a smile suddenly appeared on his worried face.

"Your thoughts are dangerous!"
