The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 707

In the courtesy of Baidi Caiyun, Qianling Jiangling returned one day.

The apes on both sides of the strait couldn't help, and Qingzhou had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

——"Early Hair Baidi City" Li Bai

……

After sending off Yue Wang Li Xi and other princes, Bai Fu personally escorted Zhang Hao's family back to the mansion.

Zhang Hao burst into tears, held Bai Fu's hand, and said, "If it wasn't for the general, I'm afraid I would have died in prison."

Bai Fu hurriedly gave way.

Zhang Hao invited Bai Fu to come to the mansion for tea and thanked him face to face.

After a few cups of tea, Zhang Hao's mood eased, and the two talked about the siege of Suiyang.Talking about Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, Nan Jiyun and other soldiers, Bai Fu Hu's eyes turned red, and he still can't let go of it.

Bai Fu clenched his fists, his veins bulged, and he said angrily, "The most chilling thing is not the brutality of the rebels, but the fact that the friendly troops who are close at hand refused to rescue them, and watched thousands of soldiers starve to death in Suiyang City.

Brother Nan Jiyun was ordered by Zhang Xun to ask for help.We broke through the encirclement and first asked Xu Shuji, the imperial envoy in Pengcheng (now Xuzhou), for help, but Xu was indifferent.

Afterwards, Brother Nan Jiyun and I led [-] fine riders to Linhuai (now north of Xuyi, Jiangsu Province) to seek help from He Lanjinming, the imperial historian.

He Lan was jealous that Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan's prestige and achievements surpassed his own, and he refused to send troops to rescue.We had no choice but to return to Suiyang.

In the ensuing siege, we captured Li Zhuer, the servant and eunuch of Anlu Mountain.Lord Zhang Xun ordered me to escort the prisoner Li Zhuer to Fengxiang, but in fact he asked me to leave Suiyang early, so that I would not die in the city with them.

In October of that year, Suiyang fell, and Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun and other soldiers were killed.In the entire Suiyang, there are more than ten thousand guards and soldiers, only less than ten survived..."

Speaking of the tragedy of the Siege of Suiyang, Zhang Hao was also deeply moved.He sighed: "If Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, the two prefects, had not led the Tang soldiers to defend Suiyang with their lives, the rebels would have captured Jianghuai and occupied the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. If so, the situation in the Tang Dynasty today would have been rewritten. .

The epic feats of Suiyang soldiers are destined to live forever! "

After talking about the siege of Suiyang, the topic turned to Zhang Hao's request for amnesty for Li Bai.

Bai Fu asked: "I was also in the army when we wiped out the rebellion of Yongwang Li Lin. I only found out afterwards that Mr. Taibai was serving Yongwang.

I have always had a question, whether to speak properly or not? "

Zhang Hao said: "General, please tell me, I know everything."

Bai Fu organized his language, and asked: "Mr. Taibai's talent, how could he follow Yongwang Li Lin to rebel? He even wrote those death-death poems praising Yongwang?
Yongwang Li Lin is so arrogant and ugly that even a mediocre person knows that his plot to rebel is bound to fail.

Mr. Taibai claims to be good at knowing people.When General Ziyi was still a commoner, Mr. Taibai predicted that Guo Linggong would make great achievements.

Mr. Taibai can recognize Guo Linggong as an outstanding man, but he can't know Li Lin's failure. Does this make sense? "

Zhang Hao said: "When the Supreme Emperor was lucky to Shu, the old man followed him on foot until Chengdu. He witnessed the whole process of this matter.

Therefore, when King Yong was defeated, the old man spoke to His Majesty and asked Li Bai to be punished lightly. "

Bai Fu said: "I would like to hear the details."

Zhang Hao sighed and said, "Back then, Anlu Mountain's bandit peak was so powerful that the Supreme Emperor had to take refuge in Shu. At that time, although His Majesty divided his troops to go north, he had not yet proclaimed himself emperor in Lingwu.

In order to avoid the annihilation of the entire Li Tang royal family, the Supreme Emperor appointed Li Lin, the king of Yong, as the "interview envoy of Sidao Jiedu, the governor of Jiangling County" and other positions, and ordered him to recruit troops, gather grass and grain, and command the navy in Jiangling.Once the battle situation in the north is unfavorable, they will use the natural danger of the Yangtze River to fight against the rebels.

Although Li Lin has many soldiers and generals, he has few qualified advisers.The Supreme Emperor accidentally learned that Li Bai was living in seclusion on Lushan Mountain, so he ordered Yongwang Li Lin to recruit Li Bai to come out of the mountain.

In order to dispel Li Bai's worries, the Supreme Emperor reassured Li Bai—"If the matter fails, I will protect you." '

Later, His Majesty Lingwu proclaimed himself emperor, and issued an edict to let Yongwang Li Lin return to Shu to accompany the Supreme Emperor.

At this time, King Yong, who was well-equipped with soldiers and food, and already full-fledged, naturally refused to give up the opportunity to separate one side.His Majesty then ordered the Huainan Jiedu envoy Gao Shi and other generals to quell the Yongwang rebellion.

In the final analysis, it was still chaos during the war, and the emperor's decree and court decree came from Chengdu and Lingwu respectively.Civil and military officials were at a loss for a while.

Li Bai's assistant to King Yong was based on the emperor's will, and there was nothing wrong with that at the time.Because of this, His Majesty finally pardoned Li Bai's crime of treason. "

Bai Fu suddenly realized.This case finally has an answer.

Bai Fu lamented that Li Bai was brilliant but his luck was bad. He thought to himself: "Mr. Taibai is still too simple, how could he take Xuanzong's words so seriously. Xuanzong did not kill the donkey once or twice."

……

Li Fuguo soon learned about Zhang Wu.Knowing that his adopted son was killed with a club in the street, Li Fuguo was furious, gnashing his teeth in anger.

In Linde Hall, he knelt down in front of Emperor Suzong, wept and wept, and asked Jin Wuwei to be severely punished.

Suzong Xuanbai returned to the palace and asked about this matter.

Li Fuguo originally wanted to beat him up, so he took a copy of Baifu.Unexpectedly, among the witnesses present, there were princes such as Yue Wang Li Xi.

With the evidence of Yue Wang Li Xi and many other princes, right and wrong soon became clear.The mastiff guards ignored the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and completely exposed the atrocities of ransacking the homes of important court officials to Suzong.

Suzong Longyan was furious, and kicked Li Fuguo to the ground, scolding Li Fuguo bloody.Suzong asked Li Fuguo to restrain the mastiff guards, and if he dared to do it again, he would definitely kill him.

Suzong walked away with a flick of his sleeves, leaving Li Fuguo alone in the hall.

When Li Fuguo came out of Linde Hall, he happened to see Bai Fu at the gate of the palace, saying goodbye to all the princes.

Li Fuguo looked at Bai Fu's figure, his teeth itched with hatred, wishing to eat his flesh and cut his bones.

Bai Fu seemed to have eyes behind his back, he suddenly turned his head and looked back at Linde Hall.

Bai Fu looked at Li Fuguo's smile, which seemed to be a half-smile, unpredictable.

Li Fuguo's heart tightened, and he said to himself: "Bai Fu is insidious and cunning. If he seeks personal revenge at this time, he will surely catch him and make him fall into trouble. Don't fall for this person's plan!

It's not too late for a man to take revenge in ten years, and he will find another chance in the future. "

From then on, Li Fuguo became more and more afraid of his opponents, and did not dare to easily offend Bai Fu.Every time I saw Bai Fu, I was afraid that Bai Fu would see through my thoughts, so I pretended to be indifferent, greeted each other with a smile, flattered and flattered me.

Bai Fu said in his heart: "This old fox, with a sweet tongue and a sword in his heart, is always looking for a chance to frame me.

For this kind of eunuch, others may be afraid, but in my eyes, his obsession with revenge is my best bait.Next, it depends on how I put the long line..."

……

The story of the Jinwu Guard killing the mastiff guard with a cane in the street quickly spread throughout Chang'an, which greatly pleased the hearts of the people.

Over the past few days, the incident has continued to ferment.Chang'an is like the Lantern Festival, with fire trees and silver flowers everywhere, and the whole world celebrates together.Not only the common people set off fireworks and firecrackers, but even civil and military officials put up lanterns and festoons to applaud them.

Only then did the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty realize that the elegant, handsome and graceful Bai Fu was a general in bloody battles, killing people like hemp.

This person dared to kill the mastiff guard without asking for the imperial decree. It can be seen that he is a ruthless master and cannot be provoked easily.

Chang'an Shilin cheered.Zhang Hao is known as the patron saint of poets in the Tang Dynasty, and has always been admired by scholars.Bai Fu's move quickly won the favor of scholars.Poems in praise of General Bai were inscribed on the whitewashed walls of tea houses and restaurants, and they are very popular.

Princess Qingluan was overjoyed when she heard about it, and ordered people to transcribe these poems, and ordered the musicians to compose and sing them.

Different from the complicated thoughts of the officials, the people of Chang'an support the brand-new Jinwu Guard from the bottom of their hearts.

In front of the gate of the Jinwu Guard, people spontaneously came to say hello every day, presenting fresh vegetables and fruits to the soldiers on duty.

The young and middle-aged people in Chang'an even asked to join the army one after another, asking to join the Jinwu Guard by name.

Looking at the long line of people who signed up to join the army, Zhang Qiuqiongyu said with emotion: "Before the rebellion of Anlu Mountain, although the Jinwu Guards were dressed in bright clothes and horses, and had a bright guard of honor, they were often scolded by the people of Chang'an because they escorted Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and other families. Protested by throwing raw eggs.

Today, the Jinwu Guard's tattered armor and old battle clothes have become the yearning of Chang'an youths and the reliance of the people. Thinking about it carefully, I feel a lot of emotion.

I hope that under the leadership of General Bai, the Jinwu Guard can become the most dazzling imperial guard, shining brightly! "
