The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 283 Slander is like poison

The setting sun was setting, and in the orange light, densely packed army formations were lined up in the field, and the banners with the characters of "Liang" and "Jin" were flying.

Below the flag that was raised, the cavalry galloped back and forth waving the flag, and the high-pitched words followed one after another. More than [-] soldiers and horses were not afraid of facing five thousand Shatuo cavalry. They were making preparations before the battle, checking their weapons and armor, The eight thousand dragon cavalry on both wings held their breath and stared at the opponent's cavalry every move.

In the open space in front of the formation of the two armies, the two men on horseback bowed to each other.

Geng Qing looked at his brother whom he hadn't seen for three years, and the smile on his face never stopped. He turned his head to Jiuyu who wanted to follow, and said softly: "Don't follow."

Then he urged the horse to move forward and get closer.Li Cunxiao over there was in a complicated mood, comforting the mane of the mount who wanted to fight, the heel was just a little bit of the horse's belly, the war horse was human, and he stepped forward with small hooves, Li Cunxin, who was behind the formation, quickly dissuaded him, but he turned his head and stared at him and dared not speak .

"I haven't seen my brother for many years. If he wants to talk, how can I not go!"

Li Cunxin didn't dare to say more, his face was red when he was scolded, so he had to turn his face away.After the knight in front of the horse had finished speaking, he stayed close for a while, and he was silent for a moment, then slowly cupped his hands, and called out again.

"Brother."

"It's a bit embarrassing to meet like this today."

Seeing Li Cunxiao like this, Geng Qing smiled even more, got off his horse and walked straight over. In the eyes of the two of them, Li Cunxiao also got off his horse to meet him, and they walked together as before. In the army, in front of the generals, he made the promise in front of his adoptive father, and tried his best to keep his tone indifferent.

"Since elder brother knows the embarrassment, why did he bring troops to fight against Cun Xiao? You know, these soldiers and horses can't stop me."

Geng Qing nodded, then shook his head again.

"Brother Wei knows that I can't stop you, but I have to come here. Brother brother is a sad thing in the world since ancient times. How could Brother Wei not know, and I never thought of fighting with my brother."

Hearing this, Li Cunxiao was stunned, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he squeezed Geng Qing's arm a little excitedly, and shook it back and forth twice violently.

"So, my brother came out because he had other business? That's really great. If I can avoid this battle, my brother will feel at ease."

When the matter was clarified, the relationship was not as stiff as before. Geng Qing was shaken in a mess, and hurriedly raised his hand to make him stop. This kind of strength is really unbearable for ordinary people. If he marries a wife in the future, he will not be given a bed No wonder it collapsed.

"Let me take it easy, brother." Geng Qing pushed his hand away and eased. Li Cunxiao next to him was quite happy, and looked at his brother with a smirk expression, and told him: "Brother is in such a body, marry a few wives less, It's about exercising."

"Happiness in the boudoir, you know very well."

Geng Qing pressed his head, glared at him, joked a few words, his head was not so dizzy, and then continued: "I led the troops out to escape from Luoyang and avoid Zhu Wen."

"That guy is not good to brother?" Li Cunxiao clenched his fists.

"it is good."

Geng Qing sighed, bent down and picked up a piece of dry grass on the ground and twirled it at his fingertips, "Yu Gong, king of Liang, is born to kill, jealous, lustful, and private. He treats me well, but working under him will not last long, let alone Longyou There are still things waiting for me to go back, so take this opportunity to get out of control."

The orange-red sunset had its final brilliance, and this person's eyes made Geng Qing squint.

"However, there is one thing that I can't get over for my brother."

"What did brother say?"

"Khitan. Your adoptive father colluded with Khitan and went south together. The other party probably passed through Youzhou and went south to Hebei, right? This army will not be like our own family when it enters our Han territory. It can't be said that it will burn, kill and loot all the way, and take the people with it. Enter the territory of Khitan."

"I heard from my adoptive father about this matter." Li Cunxiao felt a little troubled, and didn't know how to explain it to his brother. After all, he couldn't control this matter. "The Khitan ministries have just united, so they should take good care of their wings, and they won't go south if they mess with their elder brother. Not happy, if there is a chance in the future, Cun Xiao will chop off the head of a Khitan leader and give it to brother as an apology!"

"As long as you can, well, let's not talk about it, you lead the troops and leave first, I will station the troops here, try not to rub against the Jin King's soldiers and horses!"

"Well, my brother thinks so too."

The two brothers haven't seen each other for several years. Although they had exchanged letters some time ago, they never had a face-to-face detailed talk. They were very happy. After that, they went back to their respective fronts together.

Although the generals of the two armies have doubts, whether to start a war or not depends on the intentions of the two chief generals. Now that the two sides are talking happily, this battle may not be able to be fought.

"Brother, take care, when the war is over, Cunxiao will come to Chang'an to look for you and see your mother!" Li Cunxiao got on his horse, hastily, feeling very reluctant in his heart, clasped his fists, his eyes turned red, seeing Geng Qing Also arching his hands, he softly shouted: "Drive!" Pulling the reins, he turned the horse's head and galloped towards the north.

"Drive!" Li Cunxin stared at Geng Qing, who was close at hand, and gritted his teeth resentfully. Such a great contribution was right in front of him, but he couldn't take it. The crow army also galloped on their horses and followed closely.

The sound of rumbling hooves went away into the wilderness, Geng Qing pursed his lips tightly before letting out a breath, Liang Jiang, a member behind him, came over puzzled, but when he was about to speak, he was interrupted, his eyes slanted across the corners of his eyes The other party glanced at him, and his voice was cold.

"Reckless discussion of government affairs will result in decapitation. This is a plan between me and the king of Liang. Don't ask too many questions."

"I dare not to be humble."

General Na Ya hastily folded his hands and backed away. At this moment, along the front of the river, a group of soldiers and horses rushed towards this side in a hurry. The army's armor was loose and messy, and each soldier looked panic-stricken and out of breath. Looking at this side in amazement, a general squeezed out from behind, it was Wang Yanzhang, his face was a little pale, the breastplate on his chest was sunken, and there was still blood at the corner of his mouth, and he rode over with an iron gun in hand.

"Supervisor, Jin bandits came here, where did they go?"

"Just left, but I'm afraid it's too late to chase now."

Wang Yanzhang was stunned for a moment, he looked at the Yajiang behind Geng Qing, the man nodded and told the truth about what happened just now, causing Wang Yanzhang to stick a gun to the ground, and roared on his horseback: "The two armies are fighting, you let go The enemy soldiers and horses left?!"

Maybe he was injured, he yelled too hard, coughed twice, covered his chest and raised his finger to Geng Qing.

"I must tell King Liang."

"Commander Wang. This is a plan." Ya Jiang over there reminded him in a low voice.

This made Wang Yanzhang stop his anger, and looked at Geng Qing suspiciously, but the latter didn't even look at him, turned around on his horse and went to the army formation, and the words were still transmitted when he left.

"My plan, you don't want to ask, and I won't tell you, fool."

"you!"

Wang Yanzhang was so angry that his eyes were wide open, but he also knew that this minister was trusted by the King of Liang, and he had a plan, even the military adviser Xie Tong admired it quite a lot. Since it is a plan, it will be used in the future, just wait and see when the time comes .

The sunset casts its last rays.

At the same time, all the Black Crow Army who had gone to Zezhou were brought into the battalion, and the achievements made and Liang Jun who blocked the crossing of the river were reported to the secretary in charge one by one.

Li Cunxiao handed over his errands and strode into the army tent wearing only armor. At this time, apart from Li Keyong, only Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao were there.

Seeing the adopted son who lifted the curtain and came in, Li Keyong had a somewhat unsightly expression on his face, presumably he already knew the situation over there.

"Have you met Geng Qing?"

"I met."

Li Cunxiao didn't hide anything, and told the truth about Geng Qing's words to his adoptive father. After all, father and son have been together for many years, these things are not shameful, and there is nothing he can't say with his temperament.

"Brother, he just wanted to get away from Zhu Wen, so he led the army. He had no intention of competing with his adoptive father."

Over there, Li Ke smiled, went over to help him up, patted off the dust on his nails, and took a silk handkerchief to wipe off some blood stains on it, "How can you not be filial as a father, since your brother-in-law is like this, The adoptive father will not pursue it, and in the future, let the soldiers of the army keep their eyes open, and when they see that it is his subordinate, they will not go up and fight."

"Thank you foster father for your trust!"

"Well, you've been tired all day, go down and rest, get a good night's sleep, and watch me attack the city tomorrow and take Zezhou!"

After dismissing his adopted son and leaving, Li Keyong looked at the slightly stroking curtain, and his smile gradually faded, "Naive, how could Geng Qing be so simple."

Behind him, behind the screen fan of "Tiger Down the Mountain", turned a figure, it was Li Cunxin.

"Father, Li Cunxiao has turned his back on him. He talked to Geng Qing before the battle. That's not the case."

On the other side, the expression on Li Siyuan's face changed, and he said hastily: "Father, don't do it"

"To shut up!"

"Whoever can trust, who can't trust, I have my own plans in my heart as a father."

Li Keyong looked at the floating curtain, biting his cheeks and swelling.

　I originally wanted to post it earlier, but it was overturned and rewritten. The plot written before was not good,

　　In addition, it was also Li Cunxin who slandered and killed Li Cunxiao in history.
