Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 116 Drinking wine releases military power (2)

The next day, according to the emperor's decree, Li Jing handed over the seal of command to Qin Qiong in the big tent of the Chinese Army, and at the moment when everyone saluted their new commander, it marked the end of Li Jing's mission in Mobei.

The first thing he did when he returned to the tent was to ask the guards to send Zhang Baoxiang, and he had to deal with him before he left.

"General, did we ask Li Ji to betray us?", The comfort envoy came for only one day, and the Tang army on the northern front changed commanders. Zhang Baoxiang knew that something had happened even if he had no brains.

Li Jing waved to him, motioning for him to sit down and talk.

"Baoxiang, does this old man know that you want to keep learning the art of war with me? In the past, you always blamed me for teaching Li Ji and Hou Junji, but not you."

This made Zhang Baoxiang feel strange, what happened to this old handsome man today, he didn't want to think about how he lost his handsome position, so he dragged himself to teach him the art of war.

"General, why did you suddenly think of this matter? Besides, didn't you also hand it over to the young master and the others? It must be that the last general is stupid and has ignored the teachings of the general for many years."

Seeing that Zhang Baoxiang still had a little self-knowledge, Li Jing nodded.

"You have followed this old man in the South and North for many years, and it would be unreasonable not to teach you once.

You are talking about one aspect of the reason. This apprenticeship is about teaching students according to their aptitude. This old man's art of war is the enemy of ten thousand people.You are a brave general, but not a handsome talent.

Furthermore, you have a strong temper, no one can really control you except this old man.If you don’t follow the right way after you learn it, it will harm the world, and if you teach it, it will harm you. "

After passing the poured glass of wine to him, he continued, "Now the old man is no longer a commander in chief, and you and I may not have the chance to lead troops again in the future. Instead, I can sit down and teach you a lesson."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Zhang Bao cupped his hands to Li Jing and said, "Please enlighten me, General."

"Do you know what the first condition for being a general is?"

"Brave and wise, what else can it be?" Zhang Bao wondered what kind of medicine was sold in Li Jing's gourd. It's such a simple question to ask.

But Li Jing shook his gray-bearded head: "Loyalty is the greatest art of war in the world. Courage and wisdom are the ways to defeat the enemy, and loyalty is the way to survive for the general.

How can we talk about defeating the enemy if we can't protect ourselves? This old man has fought a war all his life, but he hasn't penetrated it, but Li Ji has penetrated it in such a short period of time. "

"He, hum." Zhang Baoxiang turned his head aside, the one he looked down on the most was Li Ji.

Seeing his boss praise that guy again, he was so angry. Speaking of this, if he didn't know that it was Li Ji who told him the secret, then he would be a fool.

Zhang Baoxiang refused to accept Li Ji, he didn't know, but what's going on now, he didn't have time to talk to this stubborn donkey anymore.

"Okay, since you hate him so much, let's not mention it. When you go back, you say that you are sick, and give the seal to Shu Bao, and follow me back to Chang'an honestly."

What, handing over the military power, wouldn't that be suicide?That guy Li Ji has already become a traitor, if he handed over the military power, then he and Li Jing will become polished generals, who will save their lives by then.

So he poked his neck and said, "No, the last general can't do this. General, think about it, if we don't have soldiers in our hands, will His Majesty be able to get around us when we return to Chang'an?"

This idiot, with a knife on his neck, doesn't know how to look back.Qin Qiong's prestige in the army is not much lower than his own. He is not only an old general of the Qin Palace, but also the teacher of the prince. It is too late for these generals in the army to fawn on him.

Who is against him for Zhang Baoxiang, not to mention the imperial envoy Changsun Wuji is watching here.

"Zhang Baoxiang, it seems that the old man taught you this lesson for nothing just now. You didn't listen to a single word. Well, if you don't go by yourself, the old man will let the guards tie you up and take you to Shu Bao .”

"Marshal", Zhang Baoxiang immediately knelt down, "It doesn't matter if I die alone, what will you do when the time comes?"

Hearing that Zhang Baoxiang's reluctance to hand over military power was for his own safety, Li Jing couldn't help feeling comforted in his heart. It seemed that he was not alone, and someone still cared about him.

"Baoxiang, look at this old man now. If you really have me as a commander in your heart, you will hand over your military power and return to Chang'an with me. Don't make trouble anymore. Go, only in this way can you survive Ah, do you understand?"

In this world, whoever harms him, Li Jing will not harm him.If it weren't for Li Jing, he would have starved to death by the side of the road long ago, and he would still be as rich as he is today.

Since the old handsome said so, I think he and Zhangsun Wuji have discussed it.

Then he knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Li Jing, saying: "The last general will follow the general's order and return to Beijing with the general. If we want to take care of the elderly, we will take care of the elderly together. If you want to die, the last general will die with you."

Seeing Zhang Baoxiang's fierce horse finally bowed his head, Li Jing let out a long breath. After helping him up, the two looked at each other for a long time without saying a word.

Qin Qiong and Changsun Wuji didn't have Zhang Baoxiang who was embarrassed to resign. Luo Cheng would wipe his ass for the mess he left behind.

And also asked Zhang Baoxiang to choose a guard of 1000 people to serve as attendants returning to Beijing, so as to reassure Li Jing and the others.

Three days later, within ten miles of the Dingxiang camp, Qin Qiong and other generals and schools all came to see the general who was about to return to Beijing to take office.

"It's finally a farewell after thousands of miles. Please go back and do your duty, the generals. The old man is waiting for your triumphant return in the court."

"General, take care all the way." Qin Qiong and a group of generals gave a military salute to Li Jing.

Just when Li Jing and Changsun Wuji were about to board the car, a group of Biaoqi came galloping in the distance.

Taking a closer look, it was Li Ji who was leading the generals of the Tong Han Army. Changsun Wuji pointed to them and said to Li Jing, "General, you see, it is Mao Gong who came to see you off."

"Hmph, he wants me to leave and even comes to see me off. I don't want to see him. Let him go back."

Seeing Li Jing's angry face, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to persuade him. "General, why are you bothering? You have a teacher-student friendship, and you have been in the robes for many years. Is it unreasonable that you don't see him when he comes?"

"Hmph, auxiliary machine, have you ever seen a student who betrayed his teacher?" After finishing speaking, regardless of Changsun Wuji's embarrassing expression, he got into the carriage directly.

During the conversation, Li Ji jumped off the horse and cupped his hands: "Master Changsun, the last general came here specially to see the general off, what about others?"

Looking at Li Ji with an anxious expression on his face, Changsun Wuji immediately pointed to the carriage.

"General, student Li Ji came to see you off. Teacher, student knows I'm sorry, you don't want to see me, and I don't blame you.

But after all, I am your student, and you have been teaching them carefully for so many years, now when you are parting, you have to drink this bowl of wine no matter what. "

As he spoke, he took the wine from the lieutenant general and held it high in his hand.Zhang Baoxiang, who was acting as a groom, said loudly at this time that the two of them could come to this day because of this person in front of them.

"Li Ji, stop crying like a cat and pretending to be merciful. Do you think that the wealth you gained by selling your teacher can last long? People like you will never understand what loyalty is, hum." He drove the carriage and yelled at the guards and set off on the road.

Standing behind him, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Oh, Mr. Mao, don't take it to heart, the general will understand your painstaking efforts sooner or later, go back."

Since Li Ji left, this stubborn old man didn't say a word in the car, which made Changsun Wuji who was also sitting in the car very embarrassed.

"General, you have been away from Chang'an for such a long time, if you don't go back, my old sister-in-law should go to the palace to talk to the queen."

"You are so old, what are you talking about?" Li Jing stroked his beard while thinking about his old wife at home.Changsun Wuji's words touched the softest part of his heart.
