Chapter 450: I Need Strength
Chapter 450: I Need Strength
Before the team contacted the court, Mou Liangbi knew his name would definitely be on the list of fallen soldiers.Now that this battle has been fought, even if he can live alive and return to the court with the best ending, he will just be removed from his official post and go home.After the king of Asahi Jun sent him to contact with the court, Mou Liangbi knew that the post of the Ministry of Military Affairs had been replaced by Zong Lianghu.
At first, if he and King Xu were decisive, there would not be a fiasco.In fact, Li Yuanshan was not without any warning before his rebellion. Both he and Xu Junwang were aware, but they both had the same thoughts and the same hesitant temperament.
After more than ten years in prison, he had thought that his life would end like this. Unexpectedly, the emperor activated him before the war and was directly promoted to the Ministry of Defense.At that time, Mou Liangbi was full of enthusiasm, but who would have thought that fate is so much, so much ups and downs?
He also knew that there was something wrong with the death of King Asahi.
In the entire team, only he and Xujun Wang had seen the secret report sent by Cui Zhongzhen.He was more cautious about Li Xiaozong.
But this hesitant nature made him miss the opportunity to eliminate Li Xiaozong.
Sitting in the big tent, looking at the personal soldiers arranged by Li Xiaozong outside, Mou Liangbi couldn't help shaking his head and grinning.
"Eat a grain without growing a wit ..."
He murmured, bitterness between the eyebrows.
The water burning on the stove had boiled, but he didn't notice it at all.In fact, there was nothing in his mind.Just stunned, thought nothing.
At this moment, the voice of the soldiers and people who were guarding the outside pulled him out of the chaos. He looked outside and came in just after Yan Zhongde lifted the curtain.
"How is your highness here?"
Mou Liangbi got up quickly.
Wan Yanzhongde carried a jug of wine in his hand and smiled and said, "There has been no war in these two days, and he looks sour all over. I went out to play a few games in the morning. I packed it myself and came to Hemou Mou to have a drink."
He waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him came carrying the food box, lowering his head to set the wine and dishes on the table.Mou Liangbi didn't care that the face of the soldier was alive, shook his head and said: "Where is there to be drunk, now the war is so glued, it should be retreat, there will be a big mess sooner or later."
The soldier filled the glass with wine, and said in a low voice: "Today, Master Jiumou should still eat, but the food cooked by His Highness naturally has a special flavor."
Mou Liangbi said that this personal soldier had no rules. He glanced back and immediately froze.The personal soldier stood up straight with a gentle smile on Qingxiu's face.
"square……"
He opened his mouth, but stopped subconsciously.
"As soon as you get drunk, you will have a drink with your Highness!"
He walked over to the table and sat down, staring at Fang Jie all the time.
Fang Xie looked out, then took the previously written note from the cuff and placed it on the table.Outside is Li Xiaozong's personal soldiers, who can't conceal anyone even when he speaks in a low voice, so Fang Jie wrote all he had to say and left on the table. He nodded to Mou Liangbi and smiled on the corner of his mouth. Can make people feel down to earth.Mou Liangbi also nodded to him with surprise and excitement in his eyes.
"Let's go back first. After I drink with Master Mou, I will go back to camp by myself."
Wan Yan Chongde waved his hand, and Fang Xie retreated.
Before he went out, he saw a group of people walking towards this side in the distance.Although it was just a casual glance, Fang Jie couldn't help but feel tight.The group of people walking towards this side is led by Li Xiaozong!Behind him, Sui Jun's dozen generals followed him step by step, seemingly listening to Li Xiaozong to arrange military affairs.
Fang Jie pulled the leather helmet down and stood and bent over to salute.
Li Xiaozong did not look at him at all, and passed away with those generals who wiped Fang Jie's body.After they passed, Fang Jie straightened up and walked to the camp of Hanqi in North Liaodi.Li Xiaozong spoke while walking, and suddenly felt a chill on the back ridge, and looked back subconsciously, but found nothing.
"Who is that soldier?"
He asked the soldiers who were guarding outside Mouliangbi's tent.
"Go back to General, it was the close attendance of His Highness Wan Yan, who just came to deliver the wine."
"His Highness is here?"
"Just in the tent, Master Moumou drinks."
Li Xiaozong yelled and waved his hands to command the generals: "You all go back first, and you will raise your account tomorrow to discuss how to advance."
The generals promised and turned away.Li Xiaozong opened the curtain of the big tent and went in, smiling: "The two of them are in a good mood. The weather is getting colder and colder. A pot of wine relieves the lack of heat."
Mou Liangbi heard the speech outside and had already put the note in his sleeve. He got up with Wan Yanzhongde and invited Li Xiaozong to sit down and drink together.
"It's a rare good game!"
Li Xiaozong looked at the wine and vegetables on the table and said: "There is no war today, so I will take a drink from His Highness."
The three sat around and talked a few gossips, and naturally talked about the battle against the rebels.
"The weather is getting colder and colder. Our soldiers lack winter clothes. Long live Meng just guards. We can't find a chance to break the enemy, do we ..."
Only half of what Mou Liangbi said was interrupted by Li Xiaozong: "How can I easily retreat if the lord's hatred is not reported? Tens of thousands of soldiers drained their hearts and failed to return. How can I explain to them?"
"But the rebels only need to guard against it, how can they retaliate?"
Mou Liangbi said: "General Li, the lord died, I have the same sorrow as you. But now that you are in charge of military affairs, you can't be emotional, and as the general, you are responsible for tens of thousands of soldiers!"
"I am also responsible for the death of the prince!"
Li Xiaozong said loudly: "I accompanied the prince to investigate the enemy's situation that day. The prince died in battle, but I lived alive. This hatred is not reported. How do I account for the prince's spirit in heaven? Tens of thousands of soldiers are all thoughts, that is Ning If you die, you will kill the rebels! Master, you are so scared, the prince knows that he will be cold! "
"General Li!"
Mou Liang angered: "If you accidentally put tens of thousands of soldiers to death, the prince will be cold!"
Wan Yanzhongde quickly picked up the wine glass and said: "Both are for the consideration of the prince, why should they argue? Presumably under the prince Jiuquan, they are reluctant to see the two people he trusts the most. Let's not talk about military affairs today ? "
Li Xiaozong sighed, picked up the glass and said, "Let your highness laugh."
He picked up the glass and drank it, and got up to say goodbye: "I still have military affairs to deal with, so I will say goodbye first."
After saying this, he turned to leave, and suddenly saw a folded piece of paper beside Mou Liang's feet: "What is that?"
Mou Liangbi looked down and his face changed.
He stooped down to pick up the paper and handed it to Li Xiaozong: "This is the strategy I wrote for the two days to retreat the army, how to continue the food and grass for the winter after the army returned to the cottage, how to prepare the winter coat to keep out the cold, how to guard against the rebels counterattack, how to reorganize the team , How to contact the imperial army is all I have tried with great pains. Since the general is here, I will leave it to you. "
Li Xiaozong reached out his hand, hesitated and said, "The matter of retiring the soldiers will be discussed in a few days."
He didn't pick up the paper and turned away.
Mou Liangbi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief after he went out.
The tight muscles on the back of Wan Chongde's back also relaxed, only to find that the clothes inside were actually wet.
...
...
When Li Xiaozong returned to his account, the more he thought about it, the more strange it was today.I can think about it carefully, but I don't think there is anything wrong.After frowning and thinking for a while, he suddenly thought that when he was about to leave the Mouliangbi tent, Wan Yanzhongde's men subconsciously supported the knife handle around him.
"Come"
He shouted outside the big tent, and immediately his own soldiers came in.
"Go to Master Mou and get what he wrote today. You just need to talk about it, Master Mou knows what."
The soldiers went out and returned shortly to say that Mou Liangbi had burned the thing.
Li Xiaozong frowned for a moment, then smiled at himself.I was really too nervous this time, and Mou Liangbi was already overhead, and there was only one chance to kill him.Although Cui Zhongzhen was not dead yet, he was put in a cage and was a waste person. To kill him, there was only one chance left.And such an opportunity, he can create at any time.After the death of King Asahi, the commander-in-chief had the highest prestige, and he naturally took over the command.
Cui Zhongzhen is just a member of his own army. Although he is quite prestigious in the army, Li Xiaozong is not worried.The reason why he strongly rejected Mou Liangbi's proposal to withdraw his troops was because he had to seize this opportunity to keep the general's heart firmly in his hands.
The soldiers were full of hatred for the death of Yang Kai, the king of Xujun. He must use this hatred.
"Liu Silang"
Li Xiaozong shouted to the outside, and his personal team was coming in immediately: "What did the generals tell you?"
"After Minger's account is raised early in the morning, I will order Cui Zhongzhen to make meritorious deeds and give him a horse in the camp to go to the rebellion camp for a diplomatic war. In the middle, find a chance to shoot Cui Zhongzhen to death. "
"Subordinates obey."
"and also"
Li Xiaozong remained silent for a while and continued: "You tell Long live Meng, three days later, I will let Mou Liangbi take the escort of the horse back to the cottage, let Long Meng lay an ambush in Jiaogou, as long as Mou Liangbi is dead, then never There's nothing serious. "
"Then ... what about Wan Yanzhongde?"
Liu Silang asked.
"I ca n’t eat this cold cavalry for more than 10,000 people for a while ... Although I look at my eyes, I do n’t have such a big appetite. Now it ’s not time to move him, wait and see, to hear what news comes from the east You arrange for people to set off immediately and go to Hexi Road to investigate the movement of the imperial court. If the imperial army is blocked, we will return to Lang Rushan to station. If the imperial army wins, I will contact Meng Wansui to join forces to attack Xiangzhou! "
Liu Silang nodded: "The subordinates understand!"
"Go"
Li Xiaozong waved his hand: "Don't let anyone find out."
Liu Shiro responded and bowed out.
Li Xiaozong drank the herbal tea from the cup, and his thorough coldness calmed his impetuous heart.He walked to the door of the big account and looked at the sky dome outside, thoughtfully.
After being silent for a while, he suddenly smiled.
"Kill Cui Zhongzhen first, then murder Liangbi, and then find a chance to kill Long live Meng ... If you capture Xiangzhou, the emperor will not even want to reward me. Even if the court army is defeated, there are hundreds of thousands of horses in hand, where Can't hold it? "
He stretched out a hand and drew a few times in the air. The teapot on the table case suddenly shattered. The cold tea in the teapot floated in the air, rapidly changing its shape, and finally turned into a skate.
With a punch, the skate fell to the ground in the air.
"strength"
Li Xiaozong murmured: "I need more strength ..."
