Man Tanghong

Chapter 805 What is Jiang Xia's explanation for this

After all, even if you find out that Li Yuan is wrong, and tell Li Yuan in time, Li Yuan will not change, and let you continue to carry out, you still have no temper with Li Yuan, and you have to continue to carry out Li Yuan's order.

Once something unexpected happens and the consequences are caused, you have to bear it together with Li Yuan.

This is the authority that the head of a family has.

Therefore, no matter whether Li Xiaogong wants to back down, thinks that Li Yuan has made a wrong decision, or thinks that Li Yuan is taking risks, as long as he can't convey his thoughts to Li Yuan, and also can't make Li Yuan understand his decision. No matter how much he thinks and worries, it is useless to make a change.

It's better not to think about anything, Li Yuan can do whatever he wants.

This way, you can worry less.

After wandering on the official road for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at Mrs. Zhang's manor.

The Zhang clan guarding the gate of the manor has been replaced by a group of people without identities and names.

The leader is a very intriguing person.

"The minister Duan Zhigan sees His Highness..."

After Li Yuanji's carriage stopped, the leader took the initiative to come forward and salute.

Li Yuanji looked at Duan Zhigan with great interest and said: "After the previous turmoil in the palace, you and your people disappeared. I thought my second brother let you lurk, but I didn't expect my second brother to kill you." Gave it to my father."

Duan Zhigan fell to his knees with a thud, and those people behind him who had no identity and no name knelt down together.

Duan Zhigan touched his head to the ground and said, "I implore Your Highness to give me a chance to take the blame and perform meritorious deeds."

Li Yuanji chuckled, "What are your crimes? You didn't participate in the turmoil in the palace, and you didn't engage in collusion afterwards, and you didn't secretly gather people with the intention of committing crimes. Why do you commit crimes and meritorious deeds?"

Duan Zhigan knelt on the ground upright, without saying a word or moving.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji put away his teasing face, and asked quietly: "I remember, your brother died on the way to slaughter my wife and children..."

For a moment, Duan Zhi felt his head pressure even lower.

Li Yuanji stared at Duan Zhigan deeply and said, "He was killed by Ma Sanbao at the foot of Jiulongtan Mountain, don't you want to avenge him?"

Duan Zhigan said in a heavy and decisive voice, "I don't want to!"

Li Yuanji frowned and said, "Do you not want to, or dare not?"

Duan Zhigan said firmly: "I don't want to!"

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "I hope you agree with what you say, since my father trusts you and entrusts you with such an important matter, then I will give you a chance for my father's sake.

You will go back to pack your things in a while, and leave for Daizhou early tomorrow morning. When you arrive in Daizhou, everything will follow Su Dingfang's orders. "

Duan Zhi felt a little hesitant.

Li Yuanji said to Zhao Chengyong who was guarding at the side: "Zhao Chengyong, these people under his command will be handed over to you in the future."

Zhao Chengyong respectfully agreed.

Duan Zhigan heard this, hesitantly said: "I hope that General Zhao will treat my brothers well!"

Zhao Chengyong patted his chest without hesitation and said: "Don't worry, General Duan, although I, Mr. Zhao, have no strengths, the brothers under my opponent have always been regarded as brothers and will never treat them badly."

Duan Zhigan heard Zhao Chengyong's assurance, so he was completely relieved, and said to the crowd behind him: "I haven't seen General Zhao yet!"

Everyone hesitated for a while, and finally they all bowed to Zhao Chengyong.

After a brief settlement of power and errands, Duan Zhigan left alone.

It was also for his own good to let Duan Zhigan leave.

Even if what he just said is sincere, he cannot continue to keep him in charge of a team that is based on obtaining information.

Since ancient times, no one in power will continue to use the spies of the previous power and other powers after taking power.

Not to mention that no one in power will allow the spy chiefs left behind by the previous one in power, or other people in power, to control the spies who are about to become his subordinates.

So even if Duan Zhigan didn't hold grudges against Ma Sanbao for killing his brother, even if he was loyal to Datang, he couldn't stay in the spy team.

Duan Zhigan himself knew that it was impossible for him to stay in the spy team, so he didn't have any complaints during the process of being eliminated.

After solving Duan Zhigan's matter, Li Yuanji and Li Xiaogong entered Zhang's manor together.

Zhang's manor is not big, it is a back-shaped manor, except for the people living in the front room and the main room, the side rooms on both sides are used to store grain.

Li Gaoqian lived in the hall.

Living with him was his wife and a son, and as for the others, there was none, not even a servant.

So after Li Yuanji and Li Xiaogong entered the main room and sat down, Li Gaoqian's son acted as a servant and served tea for everyone.

Of course, this is all after meeting Li.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Gaoqian and Li Gaoqian's son, and said with a calm smile: "I don't think Jiang Xiagong is here to do business in Chang'an City, but rather to go through fire and water."

Li Gaoqian is not very old, at best, he is two or three years older than Li Xiaogong. He is tall and tall, but he is very elegant. He looks like a reckless man who has read a lot of books. Literati are not like warriors, but they have the meaning of harmony between civil and military.

After hearing Li Yuanji's words, he clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Isn't my servant going through fire and water for a saint when I enter Chang'an?!"

Li Yuanji nodded and said with a smile: "Seeing that you only brought one son with you, not even a servant, you must be ready to go through fire and water?"

Li Gaoqian nodded solemnly, agreeing to the words.

Li Yuanji continued to laugh and said: "This is different from your previous style. As far as I know, you don't seem to be a person who likes to go through fire and water and risk your life."

Li Gaoqian was stunned when he heard this, but didn't respond.

Li Gaoqian's son blushed when he heard this, and wanted to defend his father, but he didn't dare to speak easily.

After all, his father was just a governor, and he was just the son of a governor. The other two in the hall, one was a prince, and the prince of the real power faction, and the other was also the county king, and the real power faction king.

His father has to be careful when he speaks, he is not qualified to speak.

"Won't you explain it?"

Li Yuanji couldn't help but wonder when Li Gaoqian didn't speak for a long time.

Li Xiaogong curled his lips at this moment and said sarcastically: "He can explain, everyone knows the scandals he did, and he can't explain it clearly."

"not like this!"

Li Gaoqian's son finally couldn't hold back when he heard Li Xiaogong's words, and defended his father aloud.

Li Gaoqian's complexion changed, he glared at his son and scolded, "How can you speak here? Why don't you apologize to the two Highnesses!"

Li Gaoqian's son bowed his head aggrievedly, gritted his teeth and apologized to Li Xiaogong and Li Yuanji.

Li Xiaogong hummed twice in dissatisfaction.

Li Yuanji didn't react too much, but stared at Li Gaoqian and continued: "Aren't you really going to explain yourself?"

Li Gaoqian forced a smile dryly and said: "The fact is just like what His Royal Highness Hejian Wang said, the minister has indeed done a scandal that everyone knows, and there is nothing to explain."

When Li Xiaogong heard this, he immediately wanted to sarcastically, but after being glared at by Li Yuanji, he closed his mouth in dismay.

Li Gaoqian's son also wanted to justify his father's name, but was threatened by Li Gaoqian's eyes to bow his head again.

Li Yuanji said with a bright smile: "Is there nothing to explain, or is there unspeakable suffering?"

Li Gaoqian froze for a moment, then shook his head decisively.

What can he suffer?

How dare he suffer?

If he had any misery to say, wouldn't it mean that Li Yuan had been guarded by him, and that would be framing Li Yuan, which would be a serious crime.

Li Yuanji nodded and continued to smile: "Then can you explain to me why when you followed my father to defend Taiyuan, pacify Huoyi, and besiege Chang'an, those who were able to fight well, after arriving in Mayi, did not Becoming intimidated?

The changes that took place before and after this cannot be explained by a powerful thief. "

Li Gaoqian's face changed completely when he heard this.

Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he fixed his gaze on Li Gaoqian.

Li Gaoqian's son was full of excitement, as if he had something to say.

"Ma...the enemy of Mayi is not comparable to the enemy of Taiyuan, Huoyi, and Chang'an."

After hesitating for a while, Li Gaoqian explained in a blunt tone.

Li Yuanji didn't ask Li Gaoqian any more, but turned his head to Li Xiaogong and said: "When the Turks invaded Mayi, how many soldiers and horses were there?"

Li Xiaogong said without hesitation: "About fifty thousand!"

Li Yuanji asked again, "How many soldiers and horses did Gao Manzheng have under his command, and how many soldiers and horses did my father give Jiang Xia Gong?"

Li Xiaogong said again without hesitation: "Gao Manzheng has 1 soldiers in his hands, and the sage gave Duke Jiang Xia [-] troops."

After saying this, Li Xiaogong looked at Li Gaoqian with burning eyes.

He has already realized that there was a problem in the battle of Mayi in the past. Li Gaoqian fled the battle, and it was unreasonable to kill the general guarding the gate in Mayi.

Li Yuanji nodded his head and said: "That is to say, at that time, Duke Jiang Xia could mobilize nearly 5000 soldiers and horses. As far as I know, when Duke Jiang Xia was helping my father defend Taiyuan, the soldiers and horses in his hand There were only a few thousand, but Gao Junya, Wang Wei, and the Turkic Allied Forces faced nearly [-] to [-].

With thousands against fifty or sixty thousand, Duke Jiang Xia didn't back down, and captured Gao Junya and Wang Wei alive, why did Duke Jiang retreat when fifteen thousand against fifty thousand?

Not only retreated quickly, but also beheaded the general guarding the gate at that time!
What is Jiang Xiagong's explanation for this? "

After Li Xiaogong heard these words, he was already sure that Li Gaoqian had let go of the water during the Mayi battle, and fled on purpose, so he raised his voice several times and followed up and asked: "Yes! What explanation does Jiang Xia have for this?! "
