Moving to a new residence is indeed a great joyous event. Although Li Kuo repeatedly resisted, the brothers in Tongwuying could not let their captain fall into disgrace in such a matter. Under the leadership of captains Zhang Yanji, Dou Qing and others,
The soldiers from Tongwu Camp came to Linhu Alley 23 one after another, carrying suitcases and bags for the Captain, carrying pots and bowls, and they wished they could even remove the mud stove in the kitchen...
Ever since Lord Commander-in-Chief appointed the military commander of Shule, everyone has gained a lot of honor. Those who have been appointed brigade commanders have entered the team in a positive manner, even if they don’t make any big plans on weekdays.
The top soldiers who have made great contributions have also become a leader. They have become one with the captain. In the past, they were just interested in each other, but now they admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
When the Captain first entered the Tongwu Camp, everyone sneered at his age, thinking that he was just a rich young man who came to the army to gain fame and fame thanks to his ancestor Yu Yin. But then the Captain started to use one game after another.
The victory in the battle proved to everyone that he was not a young man waiting to die, but a brother who could be entrusted with life and death. The black knife and the fast horse won everyone's respect in the battles.
But even so, everyone thinks that the captain's family background must be outstanding. After all, if he didn't come from a famous family, how could he be so familiar with the art of war at such an age and use it so flexibly? As the old saying goes, if you are poor in learning, you will be rich in literature.
Studying martial arts, how can a Confucian general with both civil and military skills like Lord Duwei be trained in a moment?
Until everyone entered Li's house and saw the four-walled mansion and the shabby clothes that had been washed and turned white...
Li Lu is a person who has seen a lot of things in the world. She didn't panic when she saw so many people coming to her home. She smiled and directed everyone to pack their bags and boxes. To be honest, there really wasn't anything valuable in Li's house. Except for Li Kuo'a.
The box of ancient books left by my grandfather was almost nothing that could be put on the table to show off. However, Mrs. Li Lu did not feel any sorrow. Now that her son had a future, and the Li family was about to be prosperous, she had nothing to complain about.
of?
However, Li Kuo couldn't let go. He felt that he had wronged his mother too much over the years, and he didn't know how to make up for it. In the end, it was A Tian's comfort that made the young man feel relieved.
After learning Li Kuo's identity, Wu Dawei became very respectful. The next day, he sent someone to inform the young man that he had packed everything. A group of soldiers put the few large boxes on the cart and tied them up.
After seeing Yan Shi, he headed towards his new house in Kinninbo.
Li Kuo was not good at arranging the new house. Fortunately, Miss Du Jingtian was with her, and under the guidance of the old lady Li Lu, the young lady arranged it well, and in a short time
Then the new house was decorated with a completely new look.
As for the peerless beauty Shen Liniang, Li Kuo temporarily arranged her in a separate small courtyard and will discuss the follow-up matters with her after some time.
Everything was arranged, and just as the young man was about to go out, he received an invitation from Yang Xuan, the Prince Consort and Taichang Qing. Yang Xuan's residence was located to the north of the east gate of Qinrenfang, not far from Li Kuo's house, so it was still considered a residence.
Neighbors. However, although Li Kuo had occasional contacts with his father Yang Zhao, he had never had any friendship with Yang Xuan.
By inviting Yang Xuan at this time, could he be following the wishes of his father Yang Zhao?
After thinking for a moment, the young man decided to go to the appointment. Since he was going to live in Yifang from now on, he would have to look up and see each other sooner or later.
The place where Yang Xuan held the banquet was not at his mansion, but at a restaurant called Yixianju at the northeastern end of Qinrenfang. Li Kuo, his friends Zhang Yanji, and Zhou Wuwei followed the boy who delivered the message, and after half a stick of incense, they
Arrive in front of the restaurant.
After entering the restaurant and climbing the mysterious staircase, the group went straight to the private room booked by Yang Xuan. The private room in Yixianju was not sealed with a mud wall, but only symbolically separated by a bamboo curtain, so it was possible to hear
You have to see things in it.
Yang Xuan was drinking when he saw Li Kuo and his entourage arriving and rushed to greet him: "Is this the new Shule military envoy General Li Kuo and Li?"
Li Kuo clasped his fists and said, "It's Li. I guess this is Taichang Qing, Prince Consort Yang Xuanyang?"
"It's Yang. General Li, we're just waiting for you. Come on, hurry up and take a seat!" After hearing this, Yang Xuan immediately beamed, pulled Li Kuo's sleeve and walked to the private room.
After walking a few steps, he realized that there were two people beside Li Kuo. He smiled brightly and said, "Who are these two?"
"Oh, they are two friends of mine." Li Kuo smiled and explained in a low voice.
"In this case, you two can sit down together." Yang Xuan waved his hand generously, inviting each other with one arm.
In addition to Yang Xuan, there were four or five handsome young men in their twenties in the private room. They were dressed in rich clothes and wore gold and jade. They must all be sons of the Duke and the Marquis's family.
Li Kuo greeted them for a few words and then stopped talking and sipped tea quietly. However, Zhang Yanji seemed to be quite familiar with them, and the conversation became lively for a while.
While it was time to drink tea, the waiter brought the dishes he ordered. After refilling the tea, he was rewarded by Yang Xuan. He took a silver pick, and the waiter thanked him profusely.
Withdrew.
Just as he was about to raise his chopsticks and enjoy his meal, he heard a debate coming from behind the table.
"Brother Helan, I really don't agree with your point of view. How can we, the Tang Dynasty, a huge country, be bullied by those barbarians! A seven-foot man should be stained with blood on the battlefield with a sword, and his body should be returned wrapped in horse leather."
But Mr. Helan shook his head and said: "Brother Huangfu, your view is too radical. Am I not a passionate man? But if we go into an all-out war with the cannibals, all life will be ruined. In the end, it is the people who will suffer.
ah!"
When Prince Huangfu heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Brother Helan, don't you think you are choking on food because of choking? Do we have to endure the ravages of the alien race just because war will destroy all living beings? Then
The cannibals are a barbarian tribe more ferocious than the Tubo people. I heard that they not only burned, killed and looted, but also forced people to learn the meaning of Lao Shizi scriptures. It was Hu Chen who brought shame to the six realms!" Speaking of this, the Huangfu Master said:
He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred.
However, Helan did not get angry and said softly: "Brother Huangfu, if we start a full-scale war with the cannibals, tens of millions of things will be involved. Just talking about the food and grass alone will be a headache. Have you ever calculated it?
If we were to raise the entire country's military strength to fight against the cannibals, we would need at least 300,000 troops. How much food and grass would be needed for 300,000 soldiers? Although our Tang Dynasty is rich, with millets abundant in granaries, we are all well prepared. If we put these
First-aid food and grass are supplied to the army, so how can we provide relief to the victims when another natural disaster occurs? Besides, the four towns in Anxi are far away from Guanlong, and the losses on the road are bound to be huge, so this law cannot be implemented."
After a pause, Helan continued: "Besides, the Holy One has just exhausted his troops against Tibet, and his financial resources are already tight. If we raise more troops in Western Xinjiang and the people's resentment boils over, within half a year, our country, the Tang Dynasty, will be brought down by this war."
