The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 592 One by one farewell
The general came out of Wuwei as a young man, and entered the palm of the bank to protect Ziwei.

Flick the sword in the morning and go to the sky, and return drunk with the whip in the evening.

——Excerpt from "To General Guo" by Li Bai

……

After the defeat of Heyang, Shi Siming led the Yan army to withdraw to the east of Luoyang and stationed in the south of Baima Temple.

For a while, there was no fighting in Heyang.

Except for Li Baoyu, the Jiedu envoy of the Zhengchen war zone, who had to continue to be stationed in Heyang South City due to the fall of Zhengzhou, the original station, the rest of the reinforcements returned to the station one after another.

On the eve of Li Feiyuan's withdrawal to Huaizhou, the army held a farewell dinner to practice it.

Li Guangbi ruled the army very strictly, and drinking alcohol was strictly prohibited in the army during the war.Even so, the generals replaced the wine with tea, and the atmosphere was still warm.

After thirty days of tea and five flavors of dishes, all the generals got up one after another and offered tea to each other.

If we talk about the battle of Xiangji Temple, Bai Fu is a rising star in the military.Today, Bai Fu is a very popular figure in the military circle.

During the war years, generals are promoted the fastest.What's more, Bai Fu is a young military officer with world-class martial arts, illustrious military exploits, and connections with the royal family.

Anxi and Beiting are fierce and powerful divisions. Today, soldiers and horses are in charge of the army.

No matter from which corner, Bai Fu's future is limitless.

All the generals came forward to offer tea one after another, and Bai Fu bowed one by one in return, very respectful of etiquette.

Among the generals, Bai Fu is the youngest.The higher the combat exploits, the more low-key and humble you should be.On the contrary, the greater the credit, the more enemies.

Li Fei put his arms around Bai Fu's shoulders, and said with a bold smile: "Brother Bai, the elder brother is going back to Huaizhou.

On the side of Anxi Army, I have already said hello.

Both Anxi and Beiting were soldiers led by General Siye.You can go at ease. "

Bai Fu hurriedly thanked him, after all, it was his first time in command of a soldier, so he was still somewhat uneasy.Li Feiyuanli's words reassured Bai Fu a lot.

After talking about the tea ceremony with Li Feiyuan, Bai Fu took the initiative to offer tea to Pu Gu Huai'en, the king of Daning County and deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu.

Bai Fu carefully observes Pugu Huai'en's face, he is arrogant and rebellious.

Bai Fuxin said: "In the Battle of Beicheng, when Pugu Huai'en and his son retreated, Commander Guangbi ordered me to take his head.

Although acting in accordance with military orders, there will be suspicions after all.If you don't take the opportunity to tell the truth today and form a bridge for this, there may be no right or wrong in the future. "

Seeing Bai Fu approaching to offer tea, Pugu Jue snorted coldly, ignored Bai Fu, turned his head and walked away.

Pugu Huai'en was rather heroic and invited Bai Fu to sit on the same couch regardless of past suspicions.

Pugu Huai'en is a member of the Pugu tribe of the Tiele tribe, and the hereditary governor of Jinwei Prefecture.

In the 20th year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan (646), the famous general Li Ji destroyed the Xueyantuo Khanate and swept the Mobei area.Tie Le's nine surnames led the tribe to descend to the Tang Dynasty.

"Pugu Department" is one of the nine surnames of Tie Le, and Pugu Huai'en is the descendant of Pugu's leader, Pugu Geyanbayan.

Pu Gu Huai'en is brave and good at fighting, and he is the champion.

At the beginning of the An Lushan Rebellion, Pugu Huai'en served as the Zuo Wufeng envoy of the Shuofang Army, and followed Guo Ziyi, the Jiedu envoy of Shuofang. He was often a vanguard and made many military exploits.

Facing such a fierce general who has experienced many battles and made outstanding achievements, Bai Fu is extremely respectful.

Bai Fu's humble attitude made Pugu Huai'en very useful.

Pugu said kindly, "Bai Fu is a good boy. If he takes credit for himself, I will definitely make him look good."

Bai Fu talked freely along the topic of Pugu Huai'en, and the two quickly chatted about the battles of General Guo Ziyi's recovery of the two capitals.

In these few battles, Pugu Huai'en was born and died, and made outstanding achievements repeatedly.

Especially the battle of Xiangji Temple was one of the most satisfying battles in Pugu Huai'en's life.

As soon as the chatterbox was opened, Pugu Huai'en put down his guard and continued to talk.

Pu Gu Huai'en poured a bowl of hot tea into his mouth, and said: "General Bai, you don't know. Before this battle, I fought hard against the rebel generals An Shouzhong and Li Guiren for two days, and finally I was defeated and fled. .

Driven by An Shouzhong to the banks of the Weishui River, he was about to be captured without a fight.I survived by swimming across the Wei River with my horse in my arms.

During the battle of Xiangji Temple, An Shouzhong and Li Guiren set up an ambush to attack the Tang army, but Guo Linggong and I saw through it.

After finding out the location of the ambush, Guo Linggong ordered me to lead the fine cavalry to attack the rebels, and wiped out all the ambush troops, which greatly damaged the momentum of the rebels.

Later, the main forces of the two armies fought, and I led the Huihe reinforcements to rush up and down. When the battle reached the height of the battle, I took off my armor and held a spear, and fell into the enemy's line, killing more than ten rebels. "

Speaking of this, Pu Gu Huai'en picked up the tea bowl, respected Bai Fu, and said: "General Bai, you are also very good. You only led [-] Modao infantry, and you actually blocked the route where the rebels fled.

Not to mention the unrivaled martial arts, just with this courage, I have to give you a toast! "

Bai Fu also picked up the tea bowl, and served first as a respect.

Pugu Huai'en said: "General Bai, in the Battle of Beicheng, you followed orders, and I don't blame you. After drinking this cup, it's over, don't mention it again.

Bai Fu got up quickly and drank with Pugu Huai'en in one gulp.

Pu Gu Huai'en laughed loudly, took Bai Fu's arm, and said, "General Bai, I will send you ten more Huihe horses, all of which are one in a hundred horses. I wish you a successful trip to Shanzhou!"

……

After the dinner party, the sky is full of stars.

Bai Fu walked back to the scout camp, Tie Hammer and others hadn't rested yet, waiting for Bai Fu to come back.

Iron Hammer cooked a big pot of hot and sour soup, and said with a smile, "I wanted to cook it to sober you up, but then I thought about it, the commander-in-chief is very strict in governing the army, so I probably don't have any alcohol to drink. Hehe."

Bai Fu was moved in his heart.

Bai Fu walked into his tent, took the bearskin blanket to Tie Hammer, and said, "Team Hammer, winter is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder, your old cold legs probably won't be able to bear it.

This blanket is spread on the ground, even if you sleep in the ice and snow, it is as warm as spring. "

Tie Hammer was about to refuse, but he raised his head to see Bai Fu's eyes, showing an undeniable determination.

Tie Hammer chuckled, and said: "My brother's wish, then my old brother will accept it with a smile. If you refuse again, your brother's heart will be chilled."

Bai Fu smiled gratifiedly, turned around and handed the ferret fur cloak to Xiucai, saying: "Xiucai, you are thin, with this cloak, you won't be able to freeze when you watch the night."

A scholar knows the goods, and knows that the mink fur cloak is extremely expensive, so he hastily declined.

Bai Fu couldn't say anything, put the mink fur cloak on the scholar, pretended to be angry and said: "What's wrong? You don't want me to wear it?"

With moist eyes, the scholar nodded silently.

Luo Tuoer ran over, grinned and said, "What other second-hand goods are weeded out? I don't dislike them, they will all be rounded up!"

Bai Fu kicked Luo Tuo'er's fat buttocks, and laughed and cursed: "Get lost!"

Everyone laughed, interfering with the class, and making a fuss!
……

On the day before his departure, Li Guangbi ordered Li Feiyuan to lead a thousand elite riders to escort Bai Fu to Shanzhou to take up his post, and then return to Huaizhou.

Li Guangbi personally sent Bai Fu out of Heyang City,
Walking to the ruins of the Changting Pavilion outside Heyang, the Changting Pavilion has long been destroyed by the war, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

When parting, Li Guangbi looked at Bai Fu with piercing eyes, and said: "Little brother, if you want to accomplish something great, you must keep in mind what I said today, 'Combine the private interests of all to become the public good of one person.'"

The world is in chaos today, and heroes emerge in large numbers.People of insight gathered in the army, of course hoping to wipe out the rebels and rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty, but apart from that, they also had a more real need--personal future.

As a coach, you don't need to "seek fame and fortune", but the brothers under him need to support their families and be rich and prosperous. This is a matter of course.

At that time, I led the Shuofang army and Hanbu cavalry with more than [-] people, went out of Jingxing in the east, entered Hebei, Changshan, Jiumen and other battles, killed Shi Siming and Cai Xide's army and fled, and almost reversed the situation in Hebei.

In this series of campaigns, I have sponsored less than 300 people in total.

Guo Linggong entered the siege of Yunzhong and conquered Mayi. Although Hedong has won consecutive battles, when it comes to the impact on the world's war situation, the Battle of Hedong is slightly inferior to me.

But even so, Guo Linggong fully recommended and promoted more than 3000 people to the imperial court, including myself.

In terms of strategizing and being able to fight well, Guo Linggong is not as good as me; in terms of mind and courage, I am far inferior to Guo Linggong!
After these two battles, all the generals of the Shuofang army realized that with me, I can learn the art of war and win battles, but I have no military achievements, no future, and no future;
When you go to Guo Linggong, you can win battles, and you can be promoted to a noble, rich and prosperous, have a future, and have a future.

As soon as the Anlushan Rebellion was settled, all the elites under my command defected to Guo Linggong.

I just woke up.

Today, I give you this sentence, I hope you can learn from it and don't make the same mistakes again.

Junior brother, there is a long way to go, so I can do it for myself! "

　Notes:
　　Zhao Liewen once wrote a famous letter to Zeng Guofan. In this letter, Zhao Liewen uttered a famous saying that Zeng Guofan often mentioned later: ""

　　Zhao Liewen said to Zeng Guofan in this letter: "Marshal Zeng, you love virtuous scholars, and the world knows it. Now, the staff in the shogunate have left one after another, which makes you very confused and puzzled. Have you ever thought about it? Leave, is it because they failed you, or because you failed them?"

　　Wuhan was brought down by your troops, and the emperor rewarded you a lot, and made you the governor of Hubei.Of these soldiers, these civil servants, which one is not hardworking?Of course, it's not like you didn't reward everyone.The problem is, for such a big campaign, you have sponsored less than 300 people in total.Master Hu Linyi later took back Wuhan, and the battle was smaller than yours at that time. Master Hu recommended and promoted more than 3000 people to the imperial court.

　　At this moment, everyone can see that with Mr. Zeng, you have ideals and a gentleman, but you have no future and no future; when you go to Mr. Hu, you have ideals, a gentleman, and a future.Who wants to stay with you?

　　After reading Zhao Liewen's letter, Zeng Guofan let out a long sigh and woke up.Later, Zeng Guofan's shogunate far surpassed Hu Linyi's shogunate, and became the world-famous "First Shogunate in China" at that time.
