Chapter 958 Li Chengliang's panic

What did Li Rugui do?
After Kong Dongru came out of the high-practice military government office, he kept this question in his mind. He hurried home, planning to send his servants to Fuzhou immediately. Send it to Li Rugui.

As for whether Li Rugui bowed his head and arrested him after receiving the news, or fled, it was none of his business, Kong Dongru.Although he followed Li Chengliang in the war to this point, since he is already a general, he has the foundation to develop into a general. How can he put himself in for the sake of Li's nephew?

Kong Dongru doesn't know the answer to this question, who is stronger between the strong dragon and the local snake, but he knows another point: no matter whether it is the strong dragon Gao Yushi or the local snake Li Chengliang, at least killing Kong and others is easy , Effortless.

I don't dare to meddle in this kind of fairy fight, but can't I hide it if I can't be provoked?Sending servants to inform Li Rugui, it is already because Uncle Ning Yuan and his master have made a lot of military achievements, and they will go all out to help him!Do you still expect the master to contradict Gao Bingxian on the spot?

Hey, you, Li Rugui, have the guts. It's because your uncle Li Zongrong is very powerful, and he earned more than a dozen places for the Li family. You, the nephew of the Li family, have never suffered. The uncle guarded him, not knowing how powerful civil servants are.

But the master is different, the hereditary inheritance of the grandfather's family is just a matter of commanding, but there are more than a dozen hereditary commanding matters in Liao Haiwei, and at the beginning they only do one general.

After 20 years of hard work, leading the charge, fighting in the rear, and fighting to the death in the rear, it was only then that I went from commanding to commanding colleagues, commanding envoys, and commanders, and sending generals from generals to garrison, guerrillas, and today's generals.

The road ahead is so difficult, how dare you not cherish the hard-won status of today?Even if he doesn't think about himself, he still has three sons to think about!
So, where did Li Rugui go?This matter started half a month ago.

Half a month ago, Li Rugui, who was in Fuzhou, received two messages from Li Chengliang: the first news was that Gao Wushi had taken over as Minister of Liaodongyuan Masi, and he would soon arrive in Gaizhou to take up his post; The news is that Li Chengliang received a report that Atai, the son of Wang Gao in the past, joined forces with another Jurchen leader, Ahai, to enter the bandits from Jingyuan Yulin.

Arriving together with these two pieces of news, there is also a simple letter from Li Chengliang. In the letter, Li Chengliang said that he and Gao Yushi "saw each other like old friends and had a very happy conversation", and asked Li Rugui to visit Gao Yushi first "with the courtesy of his son and nephew" in order to obtain Gao Pragmatically agreed, and then went directly to Dongningwei to meet him, and Li Chengliang told Li Rugui confidently: "There is no need to transfer soldiers, just bring your family members."

As soon as Li Rugui read this letter, he "understood". Like the other soldiers in Liaodong, although this Gao Bingxian was boasted in the rumors that he was like a god, he was actually an ordinary person, and he was treated by him. Uncle Li Chengliang took care of it easily, and now he is also an ally of the Li family—otherwise, why would the uncle specifically ask him to "give the gift of his son and nephew" when he meets Gao Wu?
Although it sounds a bit shameful to hold the son and nephew ceremony, but it depends on the person. Holding the son and nephew ceremony is much more noble than claiming to be a running dog, right?

Therefore, without further ado, Li Rugui set off with more than 300 members of his own.

Although there are only more than 300 people, the family members are not guard soldiers. Those who can support more than 300 people are generally above the level of guerrillas. If Li Rugui is not a member of their Tieling Li family, a mere commander, Being able to support two hundred family members is considered a means of earning money.

However, the matter of servants is quite different when it comes to the level of the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief. For example, Li Chengliang, who is the most money-making man, can raise [-] family members (in fact, as long as he is in office, the court will pay more than half of the money). The ability to make money crowns the world.

And like Liu Xian back then, because he was always transferred here and there, the base area was far less stable than Li Chengliang's, so he only raised three to 4000 people, claiming to be a descendant of the barbarians—these people are basically in the hands of Liu Ting now. inside.

The same is true for the rest of the generals, including Qi Jiguang and Ma Fang.Qi Jiguang’s Qi family army will not be discussed first, but Ma Fang needs to be supplemented: Ma Fang also has servants, and they are all cavalry. Marin hands.

However, because of Daming's habit of employing people, the two brothers went to Shaanxi for "job training" during the Battle of Monan before, and they didn't get the opportunity to mix military merits with Gao Yushi.

Gossip less, continue to talk about Li Rugui, he took more than 300 of his men from Fuzhou to the north, followed the normal post station road, starting from Fuzhou Zaicheng Ma Station, as long as they passed through Wuzhai Ma Station and Xiongyue Ma Station , the third stop is Gaizhou Mayi.

According to the habit of the Ming Dynasty that has been passed down since the Hongwu Dynasty, the distance between each horse station is almost one day for a fast horse. For Li Rugui, it is about four days.

However, the problem arose during the four-day journey: when Li Rugui rushed to Gaizhou and planned to visit Gao Wushi according to his uncle Li Chengliang's instructions, several families related to the Li family in the city took the initiative to send Someone came to pay his respects and told him a piece of news: Gao Bingxian went to Yingkou Port for inspection.

Yingkou itself is under the jurisdiction of Gaizhou, not far from Gaizhouwei, but Gao Yushi travels as a civil servant, even if he is used to riding a horse, he will not go fast. Naturally, he cannot compare with the speed of the post station, so Li Rugui guesses that he has no one. I can't come back for three or four days.

At this time, Li Rugui made a decision that he would regret soon - he was in a hurry to join Li Chengliang, and then go to fight Atai to earn military merits, so he was too lazy to wait for Gao Yushi to come back, and he didn't want to waste time and make an extra trip to Yingkou , So he didn't even bother to enter Gaizhou City, just walked around the city, went north to Yaozhou, and then went to Liaoyang to find Li Chengliang.

This time I stabbed Lou Zi!
Li Rugui arrived in Liaoyang happily, left his subordinates and went to see Li Chengliang.

When Li Chengliang heard that Li Rugui had come so quickly, he was quite happy at first, because in his opinion, Li Rugui's speed showed that he was not only fast and fast, but also Gao Wushi didn't make it difficult for him at all, and let him go directly.

The procedure here is as follows: if Gao Wushi disagrees, as the commander of the guard, Li Rugui cannot send troops without authorization because Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief, has orders. Li Rugui's immediate superior is Liaodong Dusi, but Liaodong Dusi actually has no real power. At present, the real power of the local guards is now in the hands of the soldiers, and the higher level is the governor.

Li Chengliang happily received the happy Li Rugui, and then Li Chengliang asked Gao Wushi's attitude towards Li Rugui, who knew that Li Rugui said: "Hey, don't mention it, my nephew missed it this time - my nephew arrived During Gaizhou, Gao Bingxian went to Yingkou, but he didn’t meet him!”

Li Chengliang was taken aback for a moment, and then the smile on his face froze, and he asked with a touch of luck: "Then you sent someone to explain the situation to him before you came... Or did you go to Yingkou to meet him in person?"

"The military situation is so urgent, and he is uncle's friend, so what are you going to see?" Li Rugui said carelessly: "My nephew came around the city to see uncle, let's finish the battle first, and then go back to accompany Gao Bingxian That's the gift!"

Li Chengliang stared blankly at him for a while, then suddenly became furious, got up abruptly, stepped forward quickly, and slapped him with his hands.

With this slap, Li Chengliang didn't show mercy at all. With a "slap!", the defenseless Li Rugui spun twice like a spinning top before falling to the ground!
Li Rugui was stunned by this slap, and managed to regain his composure. He slumped on the ground, covered his face and stared wide-eyed, and looked at Li Chengliang like a madman: "Uncle, you are crazy...why did you hit me?"

Who knew that Li Chengliang didn't bother to talk to him at all, and yelled at the door: "Come on, come on! Bind this idiot to me, and send him to the Gaizhou military constitution office immediately! Li Rubai... No, Chengcai, you go there yourself Gaizhou, explain this matter to Gao Bingxian clearly for me, and those who deserve an apology should make an apology, you know!"

Li Rubai is Li Chengliang's second son, and his status is already very high. "Chengcai" refers to Li Chengliang's younger brother Li Chengcai. He is now an official to a general, and because of his seniority, he is called As the "second master" of the Li family in Tieling, he has a higher status.

My aunt is here again... I hope the operation will go well and be completed at the first time. Not only will she be in good health, but I will also be freed from the work of being a coachman.
