Chapter 539 Rouran retreats and Gao Zhao returns to the capital
The more grievances Li Chengzhi suffers now, the more people sympathize with him.
When one day he really rises up and commits treacherous and unethical acts, the more people will understand him.
The people's will and justice are invisible and intangible, but they exist and are very important.
So, how could he bow to Gao Ying so early?
I haven't had enough grievances yet, and there are still several poems like "Looking at the Flowers Blooming and Falling in the Courtyard" that I haven't written yet...
Li Chengzhi bowed down, and his attitude could not be described as disrespectful: "Please forgive me, Queen Mother, but it is true that I am discouraged and have no intention of serving the court, and more importantly, I want to serve the state. I only want to be a idle cloud and wild crane, a country man!" p>
You have been talking about your feelings sincerely for a long time, have you told Shitou?
Gao Ying felt a surge of anger rising to the top of his head: "Do you think Gu Zhen dare not get rid of his title, or do you think Gu dare not take back the iron deed or regret the marriage?"
I know you dare, but so what?
I wish it were so!
"I said it to Guanzhong, I also said it to Beizhen, and I said it after returning to Beijing. But now, I still think so: thunder and rain are all the kindness of the emperor! Therefore, the imperial court has Jun's decree, whether it is to remove the title or take back the iron
I have no complaints whatsoever!”
Li Chengzhi smiled slightly, "As for regretting the marriage? Forgive me for being rude. By then, it will definitely not be Weichen who is crying!"
This is also the purpose of his taking the initiative to go to the palace to see Gao Ying today. He wants this woman to understand: Gao Wenjun's surname is Gao, not Li. If you really want to kill her, what can I do?
Gao Ying was not only angry, he felt like his head was about to explode.
Her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and she glared at Gao Wenjun angrily, as if to say: If you have any scheming ideas, you should cry to death now.
What's hateful is that not only did Gao Wenjun not feel sad, but he was smiling all over his face, staring at Li Chengzhi infatuatedly, and just said "You know me!"
Given Gao Wenjun's temperament, it's not just about crying. If he regrets the engagement, he's afraid that she'll end up dead...
Therefore, Gao Ying just thought about it and would never do it.
But Li Chengzhi’s heart was as clear as a mirror, but he still used such words to push him...
"Okay...okay..."
Gao Ying's face seemed to be blue, and his lips were trembling, "Remember what you said today, I will wait for the day when you come to beg me!"
Li Chengzhi did not defend himself, "That's the case, I will resign first!"
He made a bow, and without waiting for Gao Ying's permission, he walked out calmly. Gao Wenjun called out urgently, "Lang Jun", and stepped out, suddenly feeling something was wrong. He hurriedly rushed towards Gao Ying, and then chased him again.
Get out.
Gao Ying's two rows creaked loudly, and he wanted to give the order and cut Li Chengzhi into pieces.
It's like a burst of passion, splashed on the ice beach...
She couldn't figure out why Li Chengzhi was so confident?
He is really indispensable. Without him, Li Chengzhi would not be able to be the Queen Mother alone, or would the Yuan clan be unstable in the world?
When she was in doubt, she also asked Yuan Ying and Yuan Cheng in private.
Both of them are experienced in accidents and can see into people's hearts, so their conclusion should be very reasonable.
Both of them said that Li Chengzhi was just a young man with a proud and arrogant temperament and could not bear the slightest grievance. And because of his great victory, he was in the limelight for a short time, so he was even more passionate. He was like a newborn calf, unaware of the dangers of the world, acting only based on his preferences.
No meat or vegetables are taboo.
But because of this, he must be depressed and angry. After being left out for a while, and with a little kindness, he will definitely change his mind.
Yuan Ying even concluded that the Li family had already moved to the capital. If he really wanted to demote him, not to mention the aristocratic family, the Li family was not even considered powerful, so he could only be reduced to a commoner and a poor citizen. Therefore, Li Chengzhi
There is no rumor that he is so light-hearted and regards authority as dung.
But today, she was polite to the corporal and took the initiative to show her kindness, but Li Chengzhi was still unmoved. Why?
His heart was full of anger, but he couldn't figure it out. Unknowingly, Gao Ying began to doubt the intentions of Yuan Ying and Yuan Cheng: Could it be that he didn't want Li Chengzhi to return to the imperial court because he had an affair with him?
Church?
What about Li Chengzhi, can he really be transcendent and have no desires or desires?
……
"Mr. Lang, if you really offend the Queen Mother, what should she do if she is like before... before?"
What was Gao Ying like before?
Naturally, he is arrogant, domineering, unscrupulous, and unreasonable.
Gao Wenjun was afraid that Gao Ying would become angry, so he struck him with a knife.
How could it be that easy?
Even the emperor cannot do as he pleases and can kill whoever he wants. What's more, Gao Ying is only the queen mother who takes the throne in court, and she has eight assistants to complement her.
As the saying goes, one can be strong without desire, and evil and hatred are impermanent like Yuan Ke. When encountering a red-faced and thick-necked minister like Li Jingzhen who is always quarreling with him, or a minister like Li Shenjun who is eccentric and capable of sarcasm and sarcasm, he will just be kicked out of the court.
, or go to the secretary to revise books, or drive him to Beizhen to blow things up, in order to see things out of sight and out of mind.
But now everyone knows that the imperial court has lost its justice, and Li Chengzhi has no choice but to compromise. Therefore, let alone killing him in anger, if he really deprives him of his title and accepts his iron contract, Gao Ying and the imperial court will immediately fight.
Can become the laughing stock of the world.
No matter how stupid Gao Ying is, he will never do this kind of thing of digging his own foundation and digging his own corners.
Even if she wants to do it, does she really think that Yasuke is a vegetarian?
Gao Wenjun understood everything at once, and he immediately felt relieved.
Following step by step out of the palace, she finally couldn't hold it back and asked in a low voice: "Even...even my father (Yuan Jia) said that Sikong Juewu...well, he definitely didn't have that intention. That husband...Mr.
Why are you so stubborn?"
Stubborn?
You might as well tell me why I kept pestering Gao Zhao and insisting on accusing him of rebellion?
Not to mention Yuan Jia, anyone who heard the rumors would think that Gao Zhao had no motive for rebellion, let alone the ability to rebel.
This is the brilliance of Gao Zhao, which is similar to a conspiracy: You, Li Chengzhi, clearly know what I am doing, but you can't explain it at all!
Because even if Li Chengzhi told Gao Zhao’s confidence, no one would believe it.
Without it, it’s just because neither Gao Ying nor Yuan Ying believed in Li Chengzhi’s rumors of divine prophecies and prophetic predictions, but Gao Zhao firmly believed them.
Maybe Li Chengzhi was still in Jingzhou, and before he entered Beijing, Gao Zhao had already had his thoughts in mind.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
I just took an opportunity and started implementing it.
So now all this is Gao Zhao's fault. Li Chengzhi is just following the trend and pretending to be stupid.
Now let’s see who can keep his composure better...
"Maybe I'm just paranoid!"
Li Chengzhi smiled gently, "When Sikong returns to Beijing, I will come to apologize!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
Gao Wenjun's happy eyes turned into crescent moons...
……
The elm leaves in Guancheng are sparse and yellow early, and the clouds and sand are an ancient battlefield at dusk.
It's nearly September, and the weather in Beizhen is getting worse. For six or seven out of ten days, there are strong yellow winds and dust all over the sky.
But the strange thing is that Rouran's offensive is becoming more and more frequent, with almost one battle every three days and one attack every day.
There must be a reason for the abnormality. Gao Zhao even suspected that this was Rouran's plan to escape: after a small force attacked, most of the troops had already withdrawn.
"Is there any unusual report from the front camp scouts in the past two days?"
Cui Yanbo has been on the expedition for half his life. If he is good at fighting, he is better than Gao Zhao. As soon as he hears it, he knows what he means: "The creepy thieves have light horses and good riding skills, so I can't explore the nearby camp on a wandering horse."
In front of us, we can only look around ten miles or so at most. If we want to find out what is true, the only way is to press forward with a large army..."
Yuan Yi made rapid progress during his journey through Beizhen, and he was no longer as ignorant of military affairs as he was before. After thinking for a moment, he frowned: "But if you press him, he will retreat, and he will make a move step by step to lure you."
If the enemy goes deep, there is no guarantee that he will not fall into the trap!"
He could think of it, how could Gao Zhao not think of it?
However, Rouran was unwilling to retreat.
Frankly speaking, in this summer's battle, neither Yuan Wei nor Rouran can be considered the winner.
Rouran worked hard and lost money, conscripting soldiers and horses, driving sheep and cattle for thousands of miles, but he did not gain even a slight advantage, but instead lost more than 20,000 elite men.
On the other hand, there were more casualties in the Yuan and Wei dynasties. The town troops and the Chinese army were ignored for the time being. Due to Yuan Yuan's carelessness, he fell into Rouran's trick of seducing the east and seducing the west, so he sent the jingqi to rush into Langshan and directly attack the towns of Huaishuo and Wuchuan. .In one round of burning, killing and looting, six to seventy thousand townspeople were killed or injured, and countless cattle and sheep were lost.
What's more, the huge Beizhen has had no harvest for a whole year, and it has to feed nearly 200,000 soldiers. The food loss alone is an astronomical figure.
Yuan Yi has already begun to have a headache. Even if Rouran retreats, how will the people of the six towns who have been plundered by him survive this cold winter?
There were almost hundreds of memorials sent to the court asking for food, but they all fell into the sea without any response. Yuan Yi couldn't figure it out, could it be that the Queen Mother and all the princes in the court were all blind?
Yuan Yi was very angry and anxious, but Gao Zhao was hesitant.
He strongly agreed with what Li Chengzhi often said: Even if the meat is rotten, at least it is still in the pot.
Therefore, even if it is a rebellion, we must get rid of Rouran, a scourge in his inner circle, and drive him out as hard as possible.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be making wedding clothes for others.
So at this time, he was in doubt about his move. Should he raise his troops to press forward as Cui Yanbo said?
Finding out what is true is only second, but to help Commander Xui make up his mind and withdraw his troops as soon as possible.
Rouran can't afford it, and the imperial court can't afford it.
But Gao Zhao didn't want to get stuck in the quagmire, and even wanted to retreat.
You, Li Chengzhi, can "see the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court, and look at the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky." Why can't I, Gao Zhao?
Let's see who can't sit still first...
While he was thinking secretly, he suddenly heard the sound of shouting. Gao Zhao glanced closely and saw several horses running from the west, holding up the flag and ordering the soldiers along the way to give way.
Leaning slightly, Lai rode ten feet away and was stopped by the guards. After a brief interrogation, he was brought to the watchtower.
"Commander, the scouts reported urgently. They said that about half an hour ago, the west wind gradually stopped, but the enemy camp was still full of sand and dust, and the enemy's scouts were very few. Knowing something was wrong, the scouts came closer to peep, and found that the enemy camp was already there. It’s empty. It’s nothing more than hundreds of horses being stabbed with steel needles near their tails. They were in pain and couldn’t run away..."
Yuan Yi frowned with joy and laughed loudly: "Haha, Rouran retreated?"
"That should be the case. Governor Yuan has ordered all the scouts to go west to explore. I think they will know the truth later..."
Gao Zhao frowned: "Send an order to Yuan Yuan, telling him not to be careless, let alone pursue without authorization, so as not to fall into the creepy bandit's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
This was the case last time. Rouran used a little trick and Yuan Yuan jumped in. If he hadn't underestimated the enemy, why would the 20,000 townspeople in Huaishuo and Wuchuan be buried in a sea of fire?
Gao Zhao couldn't help but think of Li Chengzhi.
Both of them were talented at the time. If you didn't compare them, you wouldn't be able to tell their superiority. However, after this battle, they are completely different.
It's a pity that Li Chengzhi doesn't have enough oil and salt...
Sighing secretly, Gao Zhao loudly ordered again: "I hope you will not slack off and do your duty..."
"No!"
They all responded in unison, and the generals dispersed one after another.
Gao Zhao stared at it for a while, then waved his hand half-heartedly: "Go back to camp!"
