Li Guang and Liang Xiao rode high-headed horses and walked side by side.Both horses were from Dawan, tall and slender, strong and agile at the same time, not only the Han horses could not be compared, but even those who were taken from the Xiongnu were dwarfed.Li Guang loved this red-maned horse given by the Son of Heaven like a treasure.No matter how much he complained about the Son of Heaven, as long as he rode this horse, he felt extremely satisfied.During the months-long battle, this horse made great achievements, and also lost a lot of horses.Li Guang was distressed, so he took care of it personally, took it out to eat grass and drink water every day, and fed it at night until it regained its strength.In this war, Liang Xiao worked the hardest, running around, and Mingzhu was also affected.Liang Xiao simply followed Li Guang to herd the horses, and by the way, he learned a lot about raising horses.This is something he has not been exposed to before, but he is diligent and inquisitive, and good at summarizing and thinking, he is definitely a good student, and he once again won Li Guang's appreciation.Li Dang was unlucky because of this, and was often compared with Liang Xiao, and his eyes were somewhat resentful."
Bo Ming, what are your plans next" Liang Xiao touched his mouth and laughed."
Of course, it's to get married, and then hurry up and have a few sons.""
It's not productive."
Li Guang glared at Liang Xiao and smiled."
It's natural to marry a wife and have children, but how can you be so wasted in your good years" "General, I don't agree with what you say. ”Liang Xiao joked: "In life, one is rich and noble, and the other is descendants.As a retainer, although my wealth has not yet reached its peak, it is almost there.The next step, of course, is to focus on children and grandchildren.General, if you don't give birth to these three good sons, you can be so comfortable with a family and three marquis, general, you have to ask for a few more days of wine. ”"Hahaha" Li Guang was in a good mood and laughed loudly."
Don't worry, even if one is not invited, you kid is indispensable."
He laughed for a while, and then said, "I heard that Lao Cheng wants you to ride in charge" Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment.Pointing at Li Guang, he smiled evilly: "General, you arrange eyes and ears around me" Li Guang pursed his lips."
Is this necessary, Lao Cheng's eyes when he looks at you have already exposed his careful thoughts.Although he has a few horsemen under him, who can compare to you trying to dig you up.It's also human nature.Besides, there's nothing unpleasant about it, and as soon as I mentioned it, he took the initiative to tell me.He also said, "You didn't agree." ”Liang Xiao nodded."
There is righteousness."
Li Guang stretched out his hand.patted Liang Xiao's shoulder hard."
You should say yes, though.If my guess is correct, there will be no less fighting in Henan in the next few years. ”"Then I won't go."
Liang Xiao shrugged."
I'm the only seedling, I haven't given birth to a son yet, and if I die in battle, I won't even have an heir.""
You" Li Guang was speechless, rolled his eyes, and didn't know how to say it.He was about to persuade again, when Liang Xiao pointed ahead."
General.Someone seems to be coming. ”Li Guang looked up and saw that there were several Lang officials in fresh clothes and angry horses in front of him escorting a carriage over, and he didn't care about Liang Xiao anymore, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop advancing.The shouts and cheers reached the ranks from front to back, and the guards held their horses and waited for orders.The carriage drove to the front, and the two Lang officials who were guiding in front turned over and got down, hurried two steps, and came to Li Guang and Liang Xiao.He said with a smile: "General Li, Liang Junhou, congratulations."
When the two returned victorious, the brother of Lang asked us to congratulate them first.By the way, ask for a glass of wine. ”Liang Xiao took a closer look, and it turned out to be the Lang official of the Weiyang Lang Agency.He gave Li Guang a look.Li Guang nodded knowingly.Since it was a servant of the Lang official of the Weiyang Lang Agency, this envoy should have been sent by the Son of Heaven.He greeted the officials, dismounted, and greeted the messenger.The messenger got out of the car and stood beside it.He was thin.A dark-faced farmer who wears a new official uniform, but looks like a farmer who has been farming all year round.He had a strained face, not smiling, and looked a little arrogant.Liang Xiao looked at it twice, it was a fresh face, he had never seen it."
This is a talented person who will come here, Zhong Dafu Zhu Maichen."
The Lang official just now followed and reminded softly: "He is a fellow villager of Dr.
Yan, and he came to Chang'an not long ago to make plans." ”Liang Xiao's heart sank.This Lang official has something to say, he is Yan Zhu's fellow countryman, and he has just arrived in Beijing as a middle doctor, which is obviously taking Yan Zhu's path, and the speed of promotion is much faster than Dongfang Shuo.Zhu Maichen Liang Xiao frowned.He didn't have a good impression of Zhu Maichen.The idiom that it is difficult to harvest when covered with water comes from Zhu Maichen, who is almost a representative of the literati who are extremely mean.Liang Xiao didn't like it very much.At this moment, seeing him look like a minister, his heart was even more unhappy, his eyes shrank, and a sharp light flashed.Although Zhu Maichen arched his hands, his waist was straight.Although facing the most famous representatives of the two generations of contemporary middle-aged and young generals of the Han Dynasty, he is still full of confidence, just like explaining the Spring and Autumn Period in front of the Son of Heaven.In his opinion, whether it is Li Guang or Liang Xiao, they are just rough people with a little martial arts, and after all, they are just a knife in the hands of the Son of Heaven.And he is the one who helps the Son of Heaven hold the knife and decide where the knife is slashed, and he has enough pride and self-confidence.But I don't know why, after being glanced at by Liang Xiao, he subconsciously tensed his body.Liang Xiao's eyes were like a sharp arrow, instantly breaking his pride and knocking him back to his original form.In an instant, he was like someone had been stripped of his gorgeous official uniform, exposing his thin and weak body in front of everyone.Zhu Maichen instinctively lowered his head, raised his hands, took two steps, and saluted Li Guang and Liang Xiao.Li Guang was very surprised, and hurriedly returned the salute, saying that he didn't dare to take it.Although he was proud, he also knew that the messenger represented the Son of Heaven, and he could not be neglected.Liang Xiao's color slowed down slightly, and he also returned the salute, but he didn't say anything, just stood quietly aside, looking at Zhu Maichen expressionlessly.Zhu Maichen was a little uneasy, coughed, and explained his intention.The Son of Heaven asked him to go to Youbeiping.Liang Xiao was surprised.They were ordered to triumph and march all the way, in order to catch up with the court meeting of the first month.It's almost Chang'an, why let him go to Youbeiping instead.Even if the war in Youbeiping is urgent, there is no need for him to go, Han Anguo and Wei Qing have already rushed to support.If they can't stand it, what's the use of him going alone" What happened Zhu Maichen hesitated for a moment: "Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, died in battle, and His Majesty ordered you to escort his body back to Jiangdu." ”Liang Xiao's face changed greatly.Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Fei, he had a good impression of the king of Jiangdu.Liu Fei's ability to go to the border to fight as a vassal king has a certain relationship with his recommendation.However, the Son of Heaven obviously had his own plan, and did not let Liu Fei participate in the main battlefield, but let him lead 20,000 steps to ride out of Youbeiping to contain the Xiongnu Zuoxian King.How could he die in battle He is a vassal king, not an ordinary general, and he does not need to be in the battle array, and the probability of dying is extremely low.Liang Xiao's heart picked up.It wouldn't be that the Han army in Youbeiping was completely wiped out, otherwise, how could Liu Fei be killed in battle, if this is the case, it is indeed a bit troublesome."
How could the King of Jiangdu" Liang Xiao felt that his throat was a little dry."
Our army has suffered a setback" "Although it has not been able to win a big victory, it has not been defeated." ”Zhu Maichen regained his composure and explained."
The king of Jiangdu led 10,000 Wu Chu foot soldiers out of the fortress, separated from the cavalry, surrounded by 30,000 cavalry led by the Xiongnu Zuoxian King himself, the king of Jiangdu led his personal guards to repel the charge of the Huns many times, killing and wounding a lot, but he was hit by a stray arrow, died of serious injuries, and sacrificed his life for the country."
The corners of Liang Xiao's eyes twitched.He understood.Liu Fei must be brave and eager to fight, and regard himself as a fighting general.was killed happily for a while, but he also gave his own life.On the battlefield, stray arrows fly wildly, and arrows don't have long eyes, so it doesn't matter if you are a king or a commoner.Although medical skills have made great progress in recent years, medical methods are still relatively backward, tetanus, wound inflammation, can kill people.Although Liu Fei is brave and brave, after all, he is pampered and has few chances of being injured, and once he is injured, the probability of death is far higher than that of ordinary soldiers."
What is the military situation in Beiping?"
"The imperial historian Han Anguo has arrived, and the Huns have also retreated. ”Liang Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.If Liu Fei dies in battle, and the Han army suffers another major setback, the success of this battle will inevitably be greatly reduced.However, with the death of a vassal king-level general, this loss is not small, and it will more or less affect the evaluation of the entire battle exploits."
Okay, I'll go at once.""
No, before that, the Son of Heaven asked you to go back to Chang'an first."
Liang Xiao frowned and said nothing.He discussed with Li Guang, handed over the prisoners and the personal guard battalion to Li Guang, and rushed back to Chang'an with Zhu Maichen with only his personal troops.Li Guang agreed.Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Fei, he had a good impression of this martial vassal king.During the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Liu Fei, who was 15 years old, asked for war many times, which was a rare encouragement to the ordinary low morale at that time, and Li Guang was deeply impressed by this.Liu Fei died in battle, and he was somewhat sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.According to Liang Xiao's temperament, he couldn't wait to run to Chang'an in one go.Zhu Maichen refused, although he was also in a hurry, he was unwilling to give up riding a horse like Liang Xiao.No matter how fast the car is, it is not as convenient as riding a horse, Liang Xiao was very annoyed, and said a few unpleasant words, Zhu Maichen listened to it, and his mood was naturally not very good.A day later, Liang Xiao rushed to Chang'an City.He asked Tuniuer and the others to go home first, and rushed to Weiyang Palace to meet the Son of Heaven.The Son of Heaven looked tired, and when he saw Liang Xiao, he patted his forehead and laughed: "Is this my eagle dog back?"
Liang Xiao felt a little strange.In this era, the relationship between the monarch and the minister was relatively casual, and he had been with the Son of Heaven for so long, and in this informal occasion, the Son of Heaven referred to himself as "I" for the first time, usually using "I" and "I" like ordinary people, and rarely using "I", the emperor's exclusive self-title.This may seem like a simple title, but it may allude to the change in their relationship.Liang Xiao's heart moved, caught up with two steps, and swept to the end:
