"I..." Li Jue became so angry that he reached out to draw his sword.
Tang Ji's incident was an eternal pain in his heart.
He didn't expect that by being so humble, Tang Ji wouldn't even look at him.
What made him even more angry was that Jia Xu knew clearly that it was Mrs. Hongnong, but did not tell him. Instead, he secretly told the emperor and asked the emperor to issue an edict to take away Tang Ji.
They are all deceiving me and despising me.
They all deserve to be killed!
When Hu Feng saw him, he quickly stepped forward to hug him and beg.
Although Li Jue was angry and really wanted to kill someone, he was not as young and strong as Hu Feng after all. After struggling for a while, he was unable to break away from Hu Feng, and instead he was panting from exhaustion.
Seeing her nephew's strength, Hu became even more arrogant. "A Feng, you are the one who experienced it firsthand. Please tell me what happened?"
Hu Feng was speechless.
Although he felt that Li Shi deserved it, he really didn't dare to say anything wrong about Li Shi in front of his aunt.
As a result, the battle situation became what Hu hoped. Everything was caused by the Flying Bear Army's disobedience to the command. They were unwilling to fight vigorously and watched Li Shi being trapped by the infantry. They failed to reinforce in time and break through the position.
Not only did Li Shi take no responsibility, but he fought hard to the last man, severely damaging Shisun Rui's position, and was only one step away from successfully breaking through the position.
Li Jue also became a little confused.
What Hu Feng said was reasonable and reasonable, but he couldn't help but not believe it.
He was also aware that the Flying Bear Army was dissatisfied with Li Shi's command. Judging from the accounts of several hundred-man generals who returned, after Li Shi led his troops into Shi Sun Rui's position, they faced an interception of hundreds of infantry battalions.
, instead of breaking the formation, they retreated, which is also true.
As for why they retreated and when they retreated, several hundred people will hold different opinions, and someone is obviously lying.
If you think about it carefully, what Hu Feng and Li Shi said is closer to the truth.
Even so, Li Jue was still angry and cursed: "What did I tell you before we set off? I just let you raid the formation. It would be better for you to let Guo Duo rest aside and run to fight for your life. Now it's okay
Now, Guo Duo doesn’t know how to laugh at me. My face is..."
Li Jue slapped his face hard and sprayed Li Shi's face with saliva. "You've totally embarrassed me."
"Dad, it's not that I want to work hard, but it's Guo Duo who refuses to use his strength." Li Shi burst into tears, feeling extremely aggrieved. "I wanted to show him a show and let him pay more attention.
.Who would have thought that he would be indifferent, not sending out a single soldier or firing an arrow."
Mrs. Hu was heartbroken. She ordered people to get water and wash Li Shi's face, and scolded him: "Really, it's your fault. Then Guo Duo is a cunning and shameless horse thief. Ah Shi is still a child. How can he fight with him?"
Are you jealous? You have been fighting with him for so long, and yet you have never won? In the end, you had no choice but to let your daughter be a hostage."
Hu's voice was sharp and high-pitched, like a magic sound that penetrated the brain, making Li Jue even more irritable.
He unconsciously compared Mrs. Hu with Mrs. Wang Hongnong, and the more he compared, the angrier he became.
This Liangzhou woman is not as virtuous as the Guandong woman, and is as fierce as a she-wolf.
"Stop arguing!" Li Jue smacked the table hard. "Tomorrow we will send out troops. I will personally fight Shisun Rui to see what he is capable of."
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she quickly patted Li Shi's face and winked fiercely.
Li Shi understood and jumped up. "Aweng, this time, I will definitely avenge my shame and chop off the head of the scholar Sun Rui."
Li Jue looked at Li Shi for a long time and gritted his teeth.
"Okay, I'll give you another chance. If it still doesn't work, don't blame me for being rude. I will engage in military law."
——
After the celebration, we returned to the plateau.
Many people were still awake, and they were talking, telling stories, and laughing softly around the campfire in groups of twos and threes.
Although only the soldiers who have made meritorious service can get half a catty of meat, everyone can have a full meal. For these people who have only been able to eat one meal for days and have been in a state of semi-starvation, this big bowl of wheat rice
More fragrant than anything else.
Some children may have eaten too much, their stomachs are bloated and they are groaning in their mother's arms.
Of course, it could also be just acting coquettishly.
After eating a full meal, the women were in a good mood. Even though they knew the children were naughty, they still held them in their arms, rubbed their bellies, sang children's songs, and coaxed them to sleep.
When Liu Xie walked past Ding Chong's tent, he saw an unfamiliar face. He knew it might be Meng who Ding Chong had brought back from Guo Si's camp, so he couldn't help but take a closer look.
There were still a large number of captured civilians in Guo Si's camp, and he had no idea when they would be rescued.
Meng was waiting for Ding Chong and his wife to drink tea. Ding Chong's wife looked unhappy, lowered her head, and looked at her son Ding Yi in her arms, deliberately not looking at Meng.
However, Ding Chong nodded to Meng frequently and was extremely polite, not at all like he was treating a concubine or a maid.
Liu Xie felt a little strange and turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
Yang Xiu laughed twice and sniffed. He drank a lot of wine at today's celebration banquet, which was a bit excessive.
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty know the origin of this Meng family?"
"Could it be a high-ranking family in Luoyang?" Liu Xie knew that the Ding family of Pei State was also a reputable family. Apart from the high-ranking families in Luoyang, he could not think of any other family that could make Ding Chong so polite.
"It's not a high-ranking family, but it's not a small family either. Her grandfather Meng Yu was the younger brother of Meng Ben, a regular servant in the gang. When Ding Youyang first entered Luoyang, he received a lot of cold treatment, but he was only treated politely by Meng Yu's family.
Does Your Majesty know the reason for this?"
Liu Xie couldn't laugh or cry when he looked at Yang Xiu, who was cheating on him. He made a note in his mind that he would file a complaint in front of the Taiwei and let him give Yang Xiu a slap in the face.
"Why?"
"Because Meng Ben had a good relationship with Cao Teng, he also had some friendship with the late Situ Dinggong Ding Yuanxiong."
Liu Xie said "Oh", somewhat impressed.
It is true that Meng Bi was a Zhongchanshi, but he was not a Zhongchanshi with a bad reputation like Zhang Rang. Like Cao Teng, he paid great attention to supporting scholars and had a good reputation. Therefore, he and Cao Teng were framed by his colleagues.
Almost lost his life.
Fortunately, the emperor at that time, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, was a sensible monarch. Meng Bi and Cao Teng escaped, but the person who framed them died.
As for Meng Yu, he had no impression at all. But with a brother like Meng Ben, Meng Yu wouldn't be far behind.
"Dezu, what do you think of eunuchs?" Liu Xie asked casually.
"Eunuchs, most of the incomplete people are mentally ill and cannot be treated with common sense." Yang Xiu waved his sleeves and shook his head as he walked and said: "Even if someone has a good conscience, it's just that they don't do evil.
People cannot speak the same language."
"I beg your pardon to disagree with what the Minister said." A slightly aged voice sounded. Cai Yan walked out of the small tent on the side and bowed. "I have met Your Majesty."
Yang Xiu stopped, looked at Cai Yan steadily, laughed, and cupped his hands.
"I would like to hear from you."
"Of course there are those who do evil things among eunuchs, but how can it be that the good and the bad among scholars are mixed? Apart from other things, more than fifty members of your family's family, the Yuan family, were killed. Could it be that the eunuchs did it too?"
"Uh..." Yang Xiu was speechless for a moment, and his originally red face turned dark red.
Liu Xie was very surprised. "The entire Yuan family was killed. Wasn't it Dong Zhuo's doing?"
Cai Yan looked at Yang Xiu but said nothing.
Yang Xiu smacked his lips and bowed to salute. "Your Majesty, I'm drunk. Take my leave. Take my leave."
