Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1126
The imperial decree came not unexpectedly. Li Qinzai knew that after suffering such a serious injury, he was no longer fit to lead the army.

Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, this kind of thing can't be brave, one's own life or death is irrelevant, if a seriously injured general insists on leading the army, it is tantamount to leading the soldiers to the gate of hell, Li Qinzai can't bear this responsibility.

The imperial decree only said that Li Qinzai was called back to Chang'an to recuperate from his wounds, and some cattle, sheep and gold silk were given to the soldiers by the way, but Li Qinzai's performance on the battlefield was only praised verbally, and there was no actual reward.

Li Qinzai didn't care too much, he didn't come to lead the army for a reward, Li Zhi didn't mention it, and he didn't ask.

After receiving the decree, Li Ji stroked his beard and smiled, patted the back of his head and said, from now on, I am afraid that the family will really live apart.

Li Qinzai was stunned for a while, then he understood the meaning of his words and couldn't help smiling.

Separation, in fact, has been separated long ago. Li Qinzai has a separate mansion in Chang'an, and Ganjingzhuang is his private village. Li Ji's "separation" naturally means something else.

After receiving the imperial decree, he must immediately arrange to return to Datang.

In Li Qinzai's tent, Little Baga was busy packing his luggage.

Xue Na also planned to go back to Chang'an with Li Qinzai this time. After he made two major contributions, he felt that he could almost do business with his own father, so he decisively let it go, and rested on his merits. Wouldn't life be happy.

Li Qinzai entered Li Ji's tent.

There are only grandparents and grandchildren in the handsome tent. Both of them are abnormal people. The old one is limping, and the young one is in a wheelchair.

Sitting in front of Li Ji, Li Qinzai looked down at himself, then at Li Ji, and suddenly smiled.

"Grandpa, if the two of us leave our officials and nobles and travel the rivers and lakes, there will probably be bloody storms in the rivers and lakes. Our nickname and grandson have already thought about it, how about 'the sky is broken'? A heartbroken song, where can we find it at the end of the world?" Bosom friend, isn’t it majestic?”

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, grabbed the crutch in his hand and wanted to hit him hard.

Li Qinzai hurriedly turned his wheels back, the scene of the disabled beggar being bullied by the nouveau riche was particularly sad.

"You know you will get beaten if you speak out, but you still don't change your mind, why are you so cheap?" Li Ji stared at him and said angrily.

Li Qinzai gently slapped his mouth.

The problem of cheap mouth is probably engraved in the genes, just like when a moron saw a beautiful woman on the bus, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, and couldn't help it at all.

"When you return to Chang'an, take good care of your wounds and don't cause trouble again. You are a waste now. If you get into trouble and someone beats you, you won't be able to escape even if you run away." Li Ji urged.

Li Qinzai's face was a little dark: "Grandpa, grandson is only temporarily disabled, but he is definitely not a waste. Your words are really..."

Li Ji's eyes widened: "The old man just said it's trash, what?"

"Why not, as long as you are happy." Li Qinzai smiled obediently.

"A few days ago, the old man sent a memorial and a military report to His Majesty, telling you that you were seriously injured. At that time, you were still in a coma. After two days, you came back to life. The old man sent someone to send a letter to the family to report that you are safe. I don't know about your parents. Did you and your wife and children receive the letter?"

Li Qinzai said: "After the grandson arrives in Dengzhou, he will send a letter to his family to report his safety."

Li Jin let out a sigh, stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and said: "The war in Goguryeo is going well now, and there will probably not be any major changes. Our army will go south to encircle Pyongyang, and Sun Renshi's navy will also land by water. You can go back to Chang'an to heal your wounds." Well, in the next battle, there is no place for you to take action."

Then Li Ji said again: "After Goguryeo was destroyed, my Wang Shihui took advantage of the situation to destroy Silla, and the Haidong Peninsula was taken over by the Tang Dynasty. Do you have any suggestions for the battle to destroy Silla?"

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and said: "Grandpa, grandson brought [-] Japanese from the Japanese kingdom. Later, in the battle of Songshangang, thousands of Japanese died in the battle. It is useful for grandson to keep them from going into battle."

Li Ji snorted and said, "What do you say?"

"After my master destroys Goguryeo, more than [-] Japanese soldiers can be stationed in Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, which is only a few dozen miles away from the border of Silla..."

"Grandpa secretly instructs the Japanese and the Silla people to create friction at the border, let them cross the border to kill people, set fires and plunder, the Silla people will fight back, and the contradictions will become more and more acute as they come and go, and eventually lead to a big conflict. ..."

"At this time, Grandpa can intervene. On the surface, he stands on the standpoint of justice and hits [-] big boards each. He secretly equips the Japanese with weapons and armor, and on the other hand, he appeases the Silla people, emphasizing patience, restraint, peace and friendship..."

"To put it simply, it is to pull a sideways line, and then instruct the Japanese to suddenly cross the border to attack the city of Silla. The war between the two countries broke out. If the Lord of Silla asks my master to mediate and make peace, my master will take advantage of the situation and enter the territory of Silla... ..."

"Then there are many choices for the next operation. If the emperor is anxious to unify the Haidong Peninsula, grandpa can make up a reason, say that Silla is not a minister, and surprise my Tang army or something, and take the opportunity to attack the Silla King City, and change the obedient one." the puppet lord of the country."

"If the Son of Heaven is not in a hurry to unify the Haidong Peninsula, then our Royal Division will be stationed in Silla. This station will be a long-term station, and we will not be able to get away even if we fight."

"Within a few years, it slowly eroded and infiltrated the court of the Silla Kingdom, emptied the king, and made the kings and officials of the Silla Kingdom have to follow the lead of the Tang Dynasty. When to swallow Silla is just a matter of the emperor's thought."

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "That's all my grandson's advice. Grandpa, you are an old fox... Well, you are an old minister who seeks the country. You should know the specific operations better than your grandson."

The more Li Ji listened, the more stunned he was. Li Qinzai's suggestion was obviously a strategy for seeking the country, but the means were so novel that even Li Ji had to admire it.

After a long time, Li Ji came back to his senses, gave him a contemptuous look, and burst out three words from between his teeth.

"It's too dirty!" Li Ji's expression was contemptuous.

Li Qinzai was not ashamed, and said with a smile: "This is called a 'proxy war'. Some things are not convenient for us in the Tang Dynasty, so we encourage people from other countries to do them. When the heat comes, we will take advantage of the situation and enter. , and reaped benefits, why not do it?"

Li Ji pondered for a while, and said: "I will remember what you said."

After a long time, Li Ji still smacked his lips in distaste, and said, "It's really too dirty. My Li family is a dignitary, and you are also a county magistrate. Why are you thinking so dirty? Who taught you?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Of course the policy of seeking the country will not be too clean, but my grandson is still pure-hearted, like an innocent child, and I am still the boy I used to be, nothing has changed..."

Li Ji frowned, and waved his hands in disgust: "Go back to the tent and wash it well, clean it up, it's too dirty."

"roll!"
