Chapter 810 No way

After returning from the river, Changsun Wugou didn't fall asleep for a whole night.She has already passed the childish age, but she still doesn't want to close her eyes, she is afraid that this is an unreal dream, and when she closes her eyes and opens them again, the dream will wake up, and there will be nothing left.In fact, when they were by the river, the two of them didn't talk a lot, but some of the past events that Li Xian talked about were deeply embedded in her heart.When I was lying in bed, these things were playing back and forth in my mind.

When it was almost dawn, she fell asleep in a daze, but the maid who was close to her eagerly woke her up.

"Miss, wake up, it's not good."

The maid gently shook Changsun Wugou's arm, and when she saw her open her eyes, she said anxiously and frightened: "Get up quickly, Mr. Changsun and the lord have quarreled with the lord in the big tent. The quarrel is very fierce. Mr. The soldiers hurried back and let me tell you."

The eldest grandson Wugou was startled, and his expression changed: "What happened? Why did my brother quarrel with the lord?"

"It seems that the lord wants to leave the barracks, accompany General Daxi to Saibei to relax, and hand over the military power to General Xu Shiji. The lord will not bother with the matter of attacking Mingzhou. After Mr. Changsun found out, he ran to the lord's tent and stopped him. My lord won't let him go out. My lord was furious because I used too many words."

Changsun Wugou was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

After she finished speaking, she lay down again and pulled the quilt over her body: "Just send someone to watch again. If the master leaves angrily, then don't wake me up again. If brother comes back angrily, wake me up again." Awake."

"why?"

The maid asked a little worriedly.

"go."

Changsun Wugou waved his hand lightly, the worry on his face had disappeared.

At the same time, in Li Xian's military tent, Li Xian, who was sitting in the commander-in-chief's position, looked really ugly. He looked at the eldest grandson Wuji who refused to give an inch in front of him, and what was angry in his heart was not this guy's stubbornness, but some I feel that the eldest grandson Wuji in front of me is not the same as the eldest grandson Wuji in history?

The eldest grandson Wuji in history was a somewhat flattering person.Gui is the head of the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, and his influence in the court is unmatched.But he is a bit obedient and obedient to Li Shimin, basically he conforms to what Li Shimin says.Especially when Li Shimin made many wrong decisions in his later years, Changsun Wuji could clearly see it but did not stop him at all.

But the guy standing in front of him now is like a stubborn scalper.

"Eight years of Sui Daye!"

Changsun Wuji raised his head and looked directly at Li Xian's face. Although his face was a little pale, his tone was still solemn: "Yang Guang, the fatuous king of the Sui Dynasty, used all his power to lead a million troops to conquer Goguryeo. The army gathered at the city of Liaodong. He But he didn't put his mind on how to break through the stubborn city, but only thought about where to go to play. In the end, he handed over all the military power to Yu Wenshu, but he took Empress Xiao to visit Haydn for fun under the protection of the emperor's six armies. "

"Yang Guang had a great time playing in Wanghaidun, but the army was blocked by a small Liaodong city! It is said that he handed over all the military power to Yu Wenshu, but this is an act of imperial conquest. As for military affairs, Yuwen He did not dare to be good at it, so he sent people to Wanghaidun for Yang Guang to make a decision. One time, one time, more than a month! But the battlefield is ever-changing, not to mention a month, even a day, and an hour may change! "

"Although Yu Wenshu is in charge of the three armies, he has to report everything to the public. He missed the battle opportunity, so that the Sui army was defeated at the Liaodong city! My lord is going thousands of miles away to the north of the Great Wall. If there is an urgent matter on military affairs, do you still need to send someone?" Send it to Saibei for a long distance to make a decision?"

Li Xian raised his hand, pointed at Yuwen Shiji's nose and asked word by word: "Changsun Wuji, you mean Gu is the same as Yang Guang?"

"I dare not!"

Changsun Wuji threw up his robe and knelt down, touching his forehead to the cold ground: "Speak up, advise... This is the duty of a minister. I can't speak, but my lord must understand what I want. Now the land of Hebei is only In the whole city of Mingzhou, only Wang Pao is left among the bandits in the Central Plains, how could the lord leave hastily at such a critical juncture?"

All the generals and civil servants in the big tent held their breath, not even daring to breathe loudly.They all carefully peeked at Li Xian's face, but their hearts felt like drums were beating.Changsun Wuji's words were indeed too much. In their opinion, it was extremely unwise to arouse the lord's anger in this way.

Li Xian's face gradually became gloomy, looking at the shoulders of Changsun Wuji who was kneeling below, trembling slightly.The quietness in the big tent became a little scary, and everyone couldn't help trembling when they saw Li Xian's eyes.Although Li Xian hadn't burst into anger yet, it had already made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"My lord, do you want to imitate Yang Guang?"

Changsun Wuji was still stubborn, and his tone became more and more disrespectful.As soon as he said this, everyone present gasped.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Li Xian said three good words in succession, and the knuckles of his fingers were faintly white.

"My lord... calm down."

Xu Shiji came out of the line and leaned over, clasping his fists and saying, "My lord, Changsun Wuji is also thinking about my lord and the safety of the Tang Dynasty. Although the wording is inappropriate, it's rare to be loyal..."

"Before Gu said anything, you stood up and begged for mercy."

Li Xian snorted coldly, glanced coldly at Changsun Wuji who was kneeling on the ground, and then at Xu Shiji who had his head down and dared not speak, he snorted coldly, turned around and left in a huff.Dozens of generals in the big tent looked at each other, none of them knew what to do.

"Go ask Master Ye and Miss Xiao Di to persuade the Lord."

someone whispered.

"do not!"

Xu Shiji waved his hand: "If the lord finds out, I'm afraid the lord will be even more annoyed."

He looked at Changsun Wuji and sighed: "Auxiliary machine... What's wrong with you today? You are the most mature and prudent person on weekdays, why are you acting impulsively like a brat today! Sigh... to persuade the lord to go to Saibei to serve as a child , but today, if the lord thinks that you and I form gangs, and the generals in the army form cliques for personal gain, this matter...is serious."

Changsun Wuji was startled, and shook his head: "Mao Gong, you shouldn't have stood up."

All the generals broke out in a cold sweat when they thought of this level.

……

……

By the river, Li Xian leaned on the recliner and stared at the floats in the water in a daze.It's just that his face was extremely calm, and he didn't look a little angry.The float in the water suddenly jumped a few times, but he didn't move to lift the fishing rod at all.The fish floated up and down in the water and finally floated up again. Obviously, the fish had swallowed the bait and escaped.

Dressed in white, the graceful Ye Huaixiu walked over with a few maids, and when he was a dozen steps away from Li Xian, he told the maids to leave, and walked slowly to Li Xian alone.She squatted down next to him, hugging his legs and leaning on him.

"Are you very angry today?"

she asked softly.

Li Xian stretched out his hand and stroked Ye Huaixiu's hair lightly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled: "I know I can't hide it from you, so why do you still come to test me?"

Ye Huaixiu also smiled, and said softly, "Can't you make me stupid?"

Li Xian took Ye Huaishu's hand to stand up, and walked slowly to the river to stand with his hands behind his back.He looked at the calmly flowing river, pondered for a while and said: "It's not a good thing for the generals in the army to rely on their own achievements. You have to beat them from time to time. Otherwise, you will end up in big trouble in the future. I don't want to do what I don't want to do." thing."

"Remind them first, lest I use this excuse... to form a party for personal gain. If I say these four words after I return to Chang'an, I don't know how many people will cry and how many people will die!"

"The world will be settled, and there will always be many of them who will return the military power. But after leading the army for a long time, no one is willing to let go of the power in their hands. You know...power is a thing for men. How tempting it is to say. Let me remind them now, and hope that I will not make it too difficult for me in the future. "

"Xu Shiji and Changsun Wuji are both smart people."

Ye Huaixiu thought for a while and said, "They understand what you mean after all."

"The two of them naturally know that I arranged for the two of them to do this. It's just that I didn't expect Changsun Wuji to speak so vilely. This guy..."

"what?"

Ye Huaixiu let out a soft cry, and his face finally changed a bit.

"All the generals in the army are gathered here. They are all experienced generals. If they are released, each of them will be able to take charge of their own. The world is initially set, and all places will be sent to lead troops... how long will it take? Ten years? 20 years? What I did today just woke them up. When it comes to the right to withdraw troops, it’s still far behind.”

"Let them worry and fear in their hearts first, and when they are mobilized in the future, as long as they don't take away their military power, they will be happy. If they don't beat them, ordinary mobilization will also make them feel a lot of resentment."

"I do not quite understand."

Ye Huaixiu finally realized that what he thought was wrong at first.

"After the world is stabilized, the veterans who will lead the troops to garrison the various places must still be them. After all, they have been with me for so long, and they still have to use people. But if they stay in one place for a long time with heavy soldiers in their hands, it is hard to guarantee that they will not feel that they will not give up. What kind of weed. And once this weed sprouts, it will hurt your muscles and bones if you want to pull it out! It is not their muscles and bones that are hurt, but the court... Now that we have come to this day, how can I not think about the future?"

"Diao Luo Yi into the northern part of the Great Wall, and then sent Li Daozong to lead the army to Zhuojun, and the soldiers and horses in Li Daozong's hands belonged to Xue Wanche and Xu Shiji. This is already a reminder to them. If there is another drama today, they will naturally feel the same. Think about it. After returning to Chang'an, assign them to garrison all parties, but they must not bring their own troops with them. As I said just now, let's beat them first. If there are more such things, they will be able to accept them more easily. After all, they will No one will feel comfortable when veterans who are used to by his subordinates are transferred away."

"Soldiers stationed in one place must not move without authorization, but generals still have to move. I think that in the future, the generals who will be stationed in one place for no more than three years will have to be rotated and transferred."

Ye Huaixiu breathed a long sigh of relief, walked to Li Xian and said softly, "This is already the most gentle way, and they will understand sooner or later."

"Soldiers with iron camps and flowing water... These veterans are too murderous. After returning to Chang'an, most of them will be sent back to their hometowns to farm. Soldiers and generals should not be too familiar."

Li Xian sighed and said, "This is indeed the most gentle way I can think of."

Ye Huaixiu hummed, stood next to Li Xian and looked in the direction he was looking, and said softly: "You still have too much to bear in your heart after all, it's also very good to make arrangements in advance."

……

……

"Mao Gong, today I offended all the generals in the army! Even at this moment, I don't know how many people are scolding me!"

In Xu Shiji's big tent, Changsun Wuji sighed, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.Xu Shiji smiled, walked up to him and sat down, and filled his glass again: "You are not a general in the army, after all, it is better to choose a civil servant to do this matter, the lord asked you to do it, it is also for you Very trustworthy."

"Speaking of which, you and I are the only ones who know the lord's heart now, but fortunately you are still here, otherwise I would have no place to pour out my bitterness."

"I'm afraid you don't know...it's my memorial."

Xu Shiji picked up his glass and took a sip: "Not only the generals in the army, it seems that some people in the court are becoming more and more dishonest. Since my lord left Chang'an with peace of mind, why didn't he make any arrangements? Some people think that the credit is great, But I got less, so I felt more and more unwilling, so that I wanted to take risks. Doing this scene today is also laying the groundwork for killing people in the future. I can't let the people below say that the lord killed the hero easily and hastily."

"Who?"

Changsun Wuji was startled and couldn't help asking.

"There are some unwilling courtiers in the court, don't forget... There is also an emperor who is unwilling to be slaughtered in the palace. It's just a bit ridiculous, but some people overestimate themselves."

"Who is it?"

"I can't say it, I can't say it."

Xu Shiji smiled, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

I can only hope that... less people will die.
