Man Tanghong

Chapter 156 Winking for the Blind?
Li Yuanji chatted with Li Xiuning about the business, chatted with Li Xiuning for a while, and then rode to look for Sun Simiao again.

Li Yuanji did not intend to continue to pay attention to the follow-up matters.

With Li Xiuning coming forward, Li Zhongwen's crisis should be resolved. As for whether Li Xiuning will send someone back to take over Li Zhongwen's guard post because he is worried about Li Zhongwen afterwards, or send someone back to share half of Li Zhongwen's power, then Li Yuanji doesn't care .

Li Yuanji and Li Zhongwen only have some friendship, and they are not life-and-death friends. Saving Li Zhongwen's life has already done his utmost, and there is no need to care about Li Zhongwen's future.

Li Yuanji wandered around the marching team again on horseback, and found the ox cart that Sun Simiao was riding in an inconspicuous place.

On the bullock cart, there were only a few children sitting there in good order, holding up herbal atlases one after another to identify them, but there was no sign of Sun Simiao.

Li Yuanji asked the soldiers guarding the ox cart, and found out that not long after he left, Sun Simiao used the excuse of going to the mountains to collect medicine, bringing a few older children, as well as the imperial physician and the imperial physician's medicine. Tong, entered the forest on the side of the official road.

After Li Yuanji knew about this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Sun Simiao was obviously angry with him and didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he fled into the mountains under the pretext of collecting herbs.

There was no way to have fun with Sun Simiao anymore, so Li Yuanji could only hang out in the marching team, communicating with the soldiers under him from time to time, to understand what the soldiers needed, and also to understand how the soldiers returned. What are you planning to do in the future?

The vast majority of soldiers hope that Li Yuanji can move their family members to Qi State (Li Yuanji's feudal state), or Chang'an City.

Because they have become the soldiers of the Commanding Army of Prince Qi's Mansion, and they are destined to follow Li Yuanji in the future.

Wherever Li Yuanji was, they had to be there.

But the vast majority of them are neither from Qizhou nor from Chang'an.

Among them, less than [-]% were from Chang'an and Qizhou, half of the rest were from Luoyang, more than [-]% were from Hebei, and the rest were from Youzhou.

They will travel around with Li Yuanji in the future, but it is impossible for their family members to travel around with Li Yuanji, so they hope that Li Yuanji can place their family members in a place where they can often see them, or in a relatively stable place .

Li Yuanji felt that the needs of the soldiers were very reasonable. If he wanted the soldiers to help him, he naturally had to help the soldiers solve their worries.

Otherwise, the soldiers will work hard in the front, and still have to worry about the safety of their families, and they will definitely feel uneasy.

Li Yuanji immediately recruited Ma Zhou and asked Ma Zhou to draft the relevant documents. He used the seal and sent people to Luoyang and Hebei.

In his capacity, he asked the local officials in Luoyang and Hebei to ask for the family members of his officers and soldiers, but the local officials in Luoyang and Hebei did not dare to push back.

Not only did they have to send the person to the place he designated intact, but they also had to take care of food and drink, and serve him properly.

However, Li Yuanji also knew the situation in Luoyang and Hebei, and knew that Luoyang and Hebei didn't have any surplus food, and he couldn't manage the food and drink of the soldiers' families, so he distributed a lot of food with a stroke of a pen.

At about the time when the family members of the soldiers in Luoyang and Hebei were dealt with, Li Yuanji sent someone to summon Xue Wanshu, one of the Xue brothers.

He can solve the family problems of the soldiers in Luoyang and Hebei with a single document, but he cannot solve the family problems of the soldiers in Youzhou with a single document.

Because the families of the soldiers in Youzhou are still in Li Yi's hands.

Li Yi didn't take the initiative to hand over the family members of the Youzhou soldiers, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Yi is also a surnamed king in a separate regime, and it is impossible for him to order Li Yi.

So I had to understand Li Yi's thoughts.

And the person under him who knows Li Yi best is probably Xue Wanshu among the Xue brothers.

……

Temporary camping in Shaoshan.

The officers and soldiers of Prince Qi's Mansion Commanding Army Mansion and the soldiers under Li Xiuning's command, who had traveled all day, set up a temporary camp at the foot of Shaoshan in the evening to rest.

As soon as Li Yuanji sat down in his big tent, Xue Wanshu hurriedly felt the inside of the big tent.

"Chen Xue Wanshu, see Your Highness, I don't know if His Highness is calling, what's the matter?"

After Xue Wanshu entered the big tent, he bowed and spoke in a serious manner.

Li Yuanji pointed to the long table on one side of the big tent.

Xue Wanshu thanked him and sat down after walking to the long table.

Li Yuanji said slowly: "Wan Shu, the soldiers in the mansion miss their wives, children, and mothers very much these days. The soldiers in Luoyang and Hebei are fine. I will write down the paperwork, and they will soon be able to get along with their families." reunion.

But for the soldiers of Youzhou, it's a bit difficult.

Their family members are still in Youzhou, and Youzhou is under the control of Li Yi. If you say that I handed Li Yi a document, will Li Yi let them go happily? "

Xue Wanshu was silent, and did not rush to speak.

What Li Yuanji did in recent days was not secretive, so he knew that Li Yuanji was helping the soldiers relocate their families in recent days.

He also knew that Li Yuanji would find him sooner or later.

He also knew what Li Yuanji would ask when he approached him.

When he left Youzhou, Li Yi only handed over the soldiers to him, but did not hand over their families to him.

What Li Yicun was thinking, he could guess.

But he was just guessing, and it was inconvenient to tell Li Yuanjiming.

"What? Will it or won't it?"

Seeing Xue Wanshu's reluctance to speak, Li Yuanji took the initiative to ask questions.

Xue Wanshu hesitated for a moment, and said: "When I left Youzhou, His Royal Highness Yan Wang only handed over a group of soldiers to the minister, and did not mention the family members of the soldiers, so I am not sure whether His Royal Highness Yan will Will let people go."

Li Yuanji was taken aback, and said thoughtfully: "You mean that Li Yi didn't mention the family members of the soldiers?"

Xue Wanshu nodded without hesitation.

Li Yuanji nodded while pondering.

He roughly understood what Li Yi was thinking.

Li Yi didn't even mention it, it was just waiting for him to speak up.

As long as he opened his mouth, Li Yi would happily hand over the families of the Youzhou soldiers to him, and even give him some gold, silver and jewelry.

After all, Li Yi gave all his bravery, why would he care about a group of old and weak women and children?

Li Yi obviously wanted to use this to ask him for a favor, so that he could come to the door for help in the future.

Li Yuanji pondered for a while, staring at Xue Wanshu and said, "When you left Youzhou, did Li Yi tell you anything?"

Since Li Yi wanted to ask him for a favor, he would definitely explain it to Xue Wanshu.

Otherwise, if he couldn't figure out what Li Yi was thinking, Li Yi would be winking at the blind.

Xue Wanshu nodded again, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji ordered Ma Zhou, who was drafting various documents in the big tent, to go out for a while.

After Ma Yiyi left, Xue Wanshu immediately said: "When I left Youzhou, His Royal Highness King Yan once told me to follow His Highness well. His Royal Highness Yan also said that it is a blessing for His Royal Highness to be able to look up to you... ..."

Li Yuanji interrupted Xue Wanshu helplessly, "Don't say polite words, let's get straight to the point."

Xue Wanshu looked embarrassed, and hurriedly omitted a lot of flattering words, and went straight to the point, "His Royal Highness Yan said, as long as he has it, and his Highness can fancy it, he can give it to His Highness.

I just hope His Highness can help him when he is in danger. "

Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully, not feeling any surprise.

When Li Yi generously gave him [-] Bravery, he guessed that Li Yi was not only repaying his favor, but also begging him for help at a critical moment.

So what Xue Wan said was within his expectation.

"Li Yi really thinks highly of me, and is so generous to me. Since he is so generous, then when he encounters danger, I will naturally not stand by."

Li Yuanji said with emotion.

Xue Wanshu lowered his head slowly, without saying a word.

He is now Li Yuanji's person, and it is already very taboo to help Li Yi speak.

If you want to help Li Yi say something, he won't have to mess around under Li Yuanji's hands.

When Xue Wanshu slowly lowered his head, Li Yuanji changed the subject again and said, "However, I can only help him within the scope of my ability.

If it's beyond my reach, then I can't help it. "

Li Yi is generous enough and knows how to please others. If Li Yi is in danger, if he can help, he doesn't mind helping Li Yi.

But there is a limit to helping others.

It is impossible for him to take his wealth and life to help Li Yi.

It is also impossible to violate his principles of life and help Li Yi.

Li Yi couldn't kill people and set fires in Youzhou, he led people to dig a pit and bury the corpses behind his back, right?

Li Yi couldn't rebel in Youzhou, he helped Li Yi speak well to Li Yuan, right?
That's not realistic.

So he had to put his ugly words up front, and let Li Yi know the limit of what he could help.

Xue Wanshu still lowered his head when he heard what Li Yuanji said.

Li Yuanji looked at Xue Wanshu and said: "Since I am willing to help Li Yi, then Li Yi should hand over the families of the Youzhou soldiers without hesitation.

I'll write a letter to Li Yi in a while, and you send a team of people to bring Li Yi there, and take over the families of the soldiers by the way.

After taking over, temporarily resettled in Cangzhou or Dizhou. "

Li Yuanji was not going to take the olive branch thrown by Li Shimin, but was going to wait for Li Shimin to take the initiative to give him some places on Hebei Road.

Because Hebei Road is now in need of a lot of waste, the most lacking thing is food.

He has enough food in his hands, so even if Li Shimin doesn't throw an olive branch to him, sooner or later he will have to hand over some places on Hebei Road.

Because only he can take out a large amount of food regardless of the return, to relieve the people who have suffered several military disasters.

Only he can help Li Shimin share part of the pressure from Hebei Road.
