Chapter 601 Xiongdu (forty-four)
When talking about the past, Li Yuan's eyes became obviously softer, and his tone was very different from before. At this moment, Li Yuan was no longer the Duke of Tang who was in charge of the life and death of millions of people to control the emperor to command the princes, but a kind elder who talked with his beloved son and often recalled his old friends.
"The Wei Langjun and Xu Le nowadays are very similar in appearance and temperament. Even when I first met Xu Le, I almost recognized the wrong person, thinking that his old friend had come back to visit him. At that time, Wei Langjun was also a young man, a brave and brave man, and he could not meet the enemy in the world. If it weren't for his marriage too early, the late emperor wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law! When he rode his horse to practice military training in Chang'an, the ladies and noble daughters in the city tried every means to ask for a good place to seek a good place, just to see Wei Langjun's majesty. Compared to the killing of Wei Jie, Pan Lang was not far away. When the late emperor issued an order to lead the guards of the Eastern Palace, everyone was thinking about how glorious it would be when the prince ascended the throne to the throne of Wei Langjun as the leader of the Jinwu. To be honest, he was a little envious of Wei Langjun at that time, and wanted to change his position with him."
Although Li Shimin had not seen him personally, he could think of how glorious Xu Wei was at that time after his father's description. Then he replaced the appearance of the martial arts performer with Xu Le, and felt even more excited. He had accomplished great things in the future and must make Xu Le so glorious that he was worthy of his friendship with each other!
At this time, Li Yuan continued, "But Xu Wei's temperament was as sharp as Xu Le, so he made countless enemies. How many people loved him? How many people hated him? My father had advised him several times to know how to restrain his sharpness, but Mr. Wei was extremely brave and did not take what others thought of him in his heart. His words at that time were the same. If anyone was not convinced, he would just come and compare them. Everyone would see the superiority of his subordinates. Listen to see, are these words very similar to Xu Le? My father was like you back then, and he defended Mr. Wei in every way. Even though he knew that he had many contradictory things, he still thought about friendship.
He interfered, and many times he came forward to plead for him. He thought that the emperor's kindness was great, and he was a little bit weak in being a father. Even if a great disaster was a disaster, he could still bear it for him. Until... that night, the misfortune fell from heaven, and the father was convinced that human power could not match the number of days! If a person was guilty of arbitrary crimes by heaven, he would be too slow to say that the Li family in Longxi would not be able to bear it even if he lived! In the end, it was because Wei Langjun was too arrogant and eventually angered God and suffered this misfortune. If I had advised him a few more words back then, how could that disaster happen? In the end, for a father, he harmed his friends, and even regretted it. Don't follow the old path of being a father!"
Speaking of this, the warmth in Li Yuan's words was full of murderous intent, and Li Shimin could even hear the sound of swords and swords. His father's words were not aimless or intimidating! Instead, he warned himself that Le Langjun always did this and that he would have to repeat the mistakes of Xu Wei! Even if he had a father-son relationship and Xu Le's great military achievements, it would be difficult to prevent this from happening! I just don't know whether this was the father's intention or the other people's thoughts?
Li Yuan's tone was relieved a little more: "If it were Dou Dalang, it would be nothing. No matter what, I am also his uncle. Even if I don't reason with him, I scold him directly and punish him for another half a year, the beast would have nothing to say. But do you know how many people have sued Xu Le in the past two days? Who is the person who sued? Even if he is a father, he cannot go against everyone's wishes. No matter how good Xu Le's martial arts are, how can the Xuanjia Cavalry fight, he cannot kill all these people. Otherwise, what is the difference between us and Jiang Du?"
"The child understands what the adults mean, but as it is not yet determined, it is the time when the heroes use their martial arts. The adults only care about the will of the aristocratic family, regardless of the decency of the warriors, it is not a solution. Although we have won Chang'an, there are countless strong cities and passes in front of us, and countless elite soldiers and generals to deal with it. If there were no Le Langjun and his Xuan Armored Cavalry, how would the child win?"
Li Yuan snorted coldly: "You have to say this to your father. You can't mention it if you leave here. Otherwise, when you are in the battle, everyone will watch the methods of Xuanjiaknights. Could it be that we rely on these hundreds of armored horses to compete for the world? Besides, Father never said that we would punish Xu Le this time! If I really want to kill Xu Le, what will happen to the hundred people?"
Although Li Shimin was scolded, he became happy when he heard his father's tone: "What is the adult meant to say, would you please let Xu Le go once?"
"I said to my father that my friendship with Langjun Wei is not inferior to you and Xu Le. Now that the Xu family only has this little blood left, don't you want to protect him? As you said, if the heroes are coming together today and are about to use heroes to use martial arts, it is always easier to protect Ale. But this matter cannot be left unresolved, otherwise it will not be protected but harm him."
"What does that mean by sir?"
"Let him avoid the limelight, and it will not be too late to come back to lead the troops until the wind is calm."
Li Shimin also felt that such arrangements and disposals were the best result at the moment. After all, the other party was prepared and attacked Xu Le with a storm. The participants must have high positions and power. Perhaps there were many generals or important officials in the army. These people opposed Xu Le together. Even if they forced Le Langjun to take charge of the troops, they would inevitably be constrained by multiple parties.
What's more, these people are not enough to defeat things. If they deliberately become enemies with others, it will be enough to make someone unable to move forward. Compared to the swords, guns, swords and halberds on the front, the cold arrows and daggers behind them are undoubtedly more fatal. Putting Xu Le in that environment is equivalent to putting him on the fire, which is indeed not a good result for Xu Le.
There is nothing wrong with letting go of military power for the time being. Anyway, the Xuanjia Cavalry is equivalent to the Xu Le family. If someone else goes in, he can't even shout, and his father won't make such arrangements. He must have made himself the leader of the Xuanjia Cavalry, and then dismiss the General Xu Le.
At that time, Xuan Jia is riding in his hands, and he still has the final say in his own decisions. Xu Le is still the one who makes the decision in everything, and he puts his head in front of him, blocking the other people's mouths. As for the general Xu Le didn't take it in his heart, it would be no different. Besides, relying on his martial arts skills, if you want to get the general's name back, it would be no difficulty in pointing out the matter in the middle.
Fearing that night, dreams will cause more twists and turns, Li Shimin immediately said: "Sir, I see it clearly! The child also thought that this would be the best way to deal with it. He just wanted to make things difficult for adults and deal with those people well."
"I have a close relationship with Langjun Wei, and it's nothing to suffer some criticism for the sake of old friends. My father was worried that you would find it difficult to figure it out for a while, but since you said that, it would be best. The soldiers and horses of the Xuanjia Cavalry will be led by you in the future. With your skills and friendship with Xu Le, they will not have any complaints. As for A Le... it's not good for him to stay in Chang'an. Whether it's Dou Fengjie or the people whose houses were burned, they are full of resentment towards him. Any one that makes a fuss will be a quarrel. If he beats anyone, I'm afraid even I won't be able to excuse him."
"Sir, are you asking Mr. Le to return to Jinyang?"
Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I am not confused about my father, so how can I arrange it like that? Yuan Ji is very clear about his father. If you put Ale and him together, something will happen sooner or later. Besides, the little beast of the Zhibi family is also in Jinyang. He still has to keep him and negotiate with Zhibi's ministry. He can't let Ale find an opportunity to cut off his head. The place you think of for Ale is... Jiangdu!"
Li Shimin never expected that the word Jiangdu would be spoken from his father. He was stunned at first, and then looked at his father in surprise, completely unaware of his father's thoughts at this time.
Li Shimin believed that his father was not a fool, but such an arrangement was simply unreasonable. Yang Guang is now in Jiangdu, and his tens of thousands of virgin fruits are the last essence of the Sui army. Even though the Yang family is now like a candle in the wind, no matter who it is, no one dares to underestimate the afterglow of the setting sun. Including Li Yuan himself, there are probably no heroes who are confident that they can take this group of people and sacrifice their lives.
Before, Yang Guang had been on guard against the Li family. Now that Li Yuan officially launched an army to attack Chang'an and supported Yang You as emperor, Yang Guang was naturally a traitor. How could Yang Guang not know his name after Xu Le made such a contribution to the Li family? What is the difference between sending him to Jiangdu and letting him die?
Li Yuan said: "Pushan Gong led the Wagang army to attack Luoyang. Although the outcome was not decided, I can think about it and know how Yang Tong, the prince, was his opponent? The Wagang army has already won the granary of the world. If it swept across the Central Plains again, it would be very unfavorable for our Li family. I discussed with Xuan Gong these two days and felt that it should be destroyed first and then destroy Jiangdu."
Li Shimin also knew that his father ignored Xu Le in the past two days. Although he deliberately saved his life and pretended to be deaf and dumb, it was because the threat of the Wagang Army was imminent. Compared with the more than a hundred people of the Xuanjia Cavalry, it was obviously a greater threat from the Wagang Army.
At the beginning of the battle for the world, no one was optimistic about this team composed of green forest tyrants. Now everyone is worried about whether the world will eventually fall into the hands of Dao Zhi. Li Shimin agreed with his father's strategy of Wagang first and Jiangdu, but he still couldn't understand what the relationship between this strategy and letting Xu Le go to Jiangdu.
"The Wagang Army is in full swing. Even if our army wants to deal with him, we have to do everything we can and have no time to distract ourselves from him. If the Jiangdu orders to attack us at this time, our situation will be a little bad. In order to prevent such a thing, we can only do our best to start and send a secret envoy Ben Shu to discuss peace with Yang Guang."
"Peacemaking?"
"That's right. Although we are unwilling to fight with Yang Guang, Yang Guang's subordinates only have that little capital, and most of them don't want to fight with us. I made an appointment with Yang Guang to concentrate our troops to destroy Wagang and uncover the siege of Luoyang. He will declare the edict to the world, and use Tongguan as the boundary to share the world with us, and in the future, the two courts of the north and south will govern together. If this matter is done, the thieves of Wagang can be defeated every day, and my father and son endure what they have been trying to for many years, and the achievements can be accomplished!"
