The chief of the great water channel stabilized his emotions and patiently explained: "Don't be angry, the young master, it's because I'm too excited to make it clear, young master, I'm Robben, the old lord's old minister."
"Robben" Luo Tong looked disdainful, "You still Li Beili, will you look at your face, what do you want to trick me into this room I tell you, don't look at the young master, it's as easy as crushing an ant to death if you hit you" It turned out that this Luo Ben was none other than Luo Guanzhong, a strategist who worked for Gongsun Zhan in the past.
When Li Ji led an army of 200,000 to besiege Jixian County, Gongsun Zhan was worried that his family would be captured and humiliated by the Tang army when he broke through, so he turned back to the city at the gate and slaughtered his wife and children, but was besieged by Li Siye and the Modao soldiers, and was forced to kill himself with a sword.
Before he died, Gongsun Zhan not only forced his wife Yang to death, killed his concubines Zhu, Jiang and other women with his own hands, but also brutally killed Luo Cheng's wife Gongsun Xing, who was also his own daughter, and threw the one-and-a-half-year-old Luo Tong into the well.
But unexpectedly, Luo Tong did not die, and was finally rescued by Li Siye, named Luo Tong, and adopted as his adopted son, which is today's Li Tong.
Luo Guanzhong had only heard about Gongsun Zhan's crazy massacre of his wife and children before he died, but he didn't know that Luo Tong was adopted by Li Siye, and it was also Liu Wei who deduced through the system that he revised the book to Luo Guanzhong, who served as a staff member under Xiao He, the assassin of Qingzhou, telling him that Li Tong was most likely Luo Cheng's son Luo Tong, and asked him to try to contact Luo Tong to see if he could persuade him to oppose Tang and return to Han Luo Guanzhong was of the same clan as Luo Cheng, and was taken care of in Gongsun Zhan's army, and later regretted Luo Cheng's untimely death.
After receiving the handwritten letter from the Son of Heaven, he immediately bid farewell to Xiao He, disguised himself as a Taoist priest and crossed the Yellow River all the way to find the Tang army, waiting for the opportunity to contact Luo Tong, and informed him of his true life experience, hoping that he could oppose the Tang Dynasty and return to the Han Dynasty, recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
After Luo Guanzhong crossed the Yellow River, Li Tong and his son had followed Li Ji's army north to aid the Goryeo Peninsula, and Luo Guanzhong chased all the way as a Taoist priest, and caught up with the Tang army in Liaoxi County.
It's just that Li Siye is one of the few generals in the Tang Army, and Luo Tong is highly valued by Li Ji because of his superb martial arts, so Luo Guanzhong has been unable to find an opportunity to contact Luo Tong alone, so he can only follow all the way from Liaoxi County to Xiangping in Liaodong.
Hearing that Li Tang's court had moved from Wang Jiancheng to Xiangping, Luo Guanzhong realized that the opportunity to meet Luo Tong alone had come, so he sneaked into the city in advance, waited near the west gate of Li Jitun's soldiers, and finally waited for Luo Tong, who was alone because of greed, and tricked Luo Tong into the inn with some rhetoric.
Luo Guanzhong arched his hand and said: "Young master, don't be impulsive, and listen to me tell me about your life experience, and after you finish listening, you won't kill Roben again, but go to kill Li Yuanba and avenge the killing of your father."
Luo Tong pressed the anger in his heart, crossed his hands on his waist and said: "You bull's nose is just nonsense, my father Li Siye is alive and well, but he is a general of the Tang Kingdom, why did I go to Li Yuan to find Your Majesty to take revenge on you and tell the matter, I want to see what story you can make up."
Luo Guanzhong got up from the ground at the moment, and roughly told his identity and Luo Tong's life experience, and did not know that Luo Tong was thrown into the well by Gongsun Zan to save Li Siye, only said that the Tang army broke through Jixian County, and Li Siye took the one-and-a-half-year-old Luo Tong away, and there has been no news since then.
After listening to Luo Guanzhong's narration, Luo Tong first remembered the Han general Luo Yi who died under his hands, clapped his hands and exclaimed: "It's bad, Luo Yi is Luo Cheng's uncle, I killed Luo Yi with my own hands, if this matter is true, I won't become a deceptive teacher and destroy ancestors."
Luo Guanzhong knelt on one knee and persuaded bitterly: "Young master, your appearance is so similar to General Luo Cheng, since the first time I saw you, I knew that you were the widow of General Luo Cheng."
Those who don't know are not guilty, you are not to blame for the past things, as long as the young master can abandon the Tang Dynasty and return to the Han Dynasty, recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, I think General Luo Yi will also forgive you under Jiuquan."
It happened too suddenly, Luo Tong couldn't accept it for a while, and didn't want to accept it, so he scolded angrily: "What evidence do you have to prove that I am Luo Cheng's son, I see that you are clearly a spy of the Han army, and you deliberately came to use counter-tricks against me to trick me into being a disloyal and unfilial person."
Luo Guanzhong got up and took out a picture scroll from his baggage, and after unfolding it, it was a heroic young general, with a silver gun and a white horse, majestic, "Young master, look, this is the picture scroll that General Luo Cheng found someone to copy before his death, you see how similar these lips, eyebrows, and nose bridge are, if it is not connected by flesh and blood, how can there be such similar people in the world" After seeing the picture scroll, Luo Tong's heart couldn't help beating wildly, as if he saw what he looked like as an adult, but deep down he still couldn't accept this fact, and argued: "There are similar people in the world, besides, who knows if you deliberately found someone to depict such a portrait to trap me, you want to deceive me into betraying my father with a portrait, could it be that you treat me as a three-year-old child."
"The young master doesn't have to rush to argue, you slowly recall, whether your parents treat you differently from other siblings and slowly savor it, I think the young master will find clues."
Luo Guanzhong was not in a hurry to argue, and changed his perspective to persuade Luo Tong.
Although Li Siye and his wife treated Luo Tong well, they were not their own flesh and blood after all, no matter how much they disguised, they were different from their children.
Especially after being broken by Luo Guanzhong, Luo Tong's psychology has changed, and some insignificant details have been infinitely magnified, and he feels more and more that Li Siye and his wife treat themselves differently from other brothers and sisters, and they have believed Luo Guanzhong's words for seven or eight points "This matter came too suddenly, you can let me go back and think about it, inquire and say" Luo Tong turned his heart sideways, turned around and left, "You stay in the inn and don't walk around, I will naturally come to you when I make up my mind." ” Luo Guanzhong was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "It happened suddenly, and it is normal for the young master to need to think about it."
The Luo family is all loyal and hot-blooded, and I think the young master will not let General Luo Cheng down under Jiuquan.
Robben is here waiting for good news, and hopes that the young master will make a decision as soon as possible. ” "Let me think twice" Luo Tong walked out with his head bowed, not only was he happy because of the news, but he was depressed, "Li Si's father and Li Ji are still waiting for me to meet the queen, if it is late, I am afraid that there will be extraneous branches." ” Luo Guanzhong sent it to the door and advised: "The young master can inquire from the side, but don't ask Li Siye, lest he see that the matter is exposed, and he will cut you to the roots."
Even if the young master is talented and has excellent martial arts, he will definitely not be able to take advantage of it in the Tang camp."
Luo Tong slammed the door impatiently and left: "Which one needs your advice to think I'm stupid" Looking at Luo Tong's distant back, Luo Guanzhong secretly shook his head: "Although this young man's temper is as strong and irritable as General Luo Cheng, his cultivation is greatly inferior. ” The temporary palace renovated from Gongsun Du's mansion was heavily guarded, with 300 armor soldiers patrolling day and night no matter the day, and Qiu Shentong was responsible for the security of the entire Xiangping City, commanding 8,000 soldiers and horses brought from the Tang State to guard the city.
Li Ji and Li Siye came to the door of the mansion and turned over and dismounted, and bowed their hands to the commander of Yulinwei guarding the door: "Your Excellency went to report to the queen, and said that the general Li Ji led the army to aid Wang Jiancheng, passed through Xiangping, and came to pay homage to the queen. ” Facing the number one general of the Tang Kingdom, no one dared to slack off, and the commander of Yulinwei hurriedly returned the salute: "The queen has already passed down the order, and when Governor Li arrives, please go straight inside, and there will be other adults to respond." ” Li Ji bowed slightly, led the way with his hands behind his back, and entered the mansion with Li Siye one after the other, leaving the other entourage waiting outside the door.
As soon as Li Ji crossed the threshold with his front foot, he saw two officials dressed as imperial historians trotting out all the way to greet him, and he saluted and said: "Alas, Li Dudu came so fast, I will miss the welcome, and I hope that Du Du will forgive the sin."
Li Ji showed displeasure on his face, and sneered at each other: "I am a courtier, why do I need the queen to send someone to answer." ” Yu Shi hurriedly defended: "Don't be surprised by the governor, in fact, the queen originally planned to go out of the city to meet the governor in person, but this morning, General Han Xin suddenly brought Fan Li, the envoy of the Great Wei, into the palace to visit, and there was something important to discuss.
The queen was lacking in skills, so she had to take all the adults to negotiate with the Wei envoy, and specially ordered the two of us to go out of the city to meet the governor, and you will come just after you are about to go out."
Li Ji stroked his beard and said: "Oh, General Han Xin is still alive, I thought he died in the chaos, it's great to be able to return, our army has another general who can stand alone."
My Datang is now in turmoil, and I need to work closely with Wei to tide over the difficulties, so naturally I can't neglect the envoys of Wei, and immediately take me to visit the queen and meet with my colleagues and envoys of Great Wei. ” "Governor, please come with me" At the moment, the two imperial histories led the way, and took Li Ji and Li Siye straight to the conference hall.
Compared with the splendid Tang Palace, this mansion that belonged to Gongsun Du in the past naturally looks much shabby, and the conference hall is not too big, and it can accommodate more than 100 people.
At this moment, the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty, Wuji, is meeting with Fan Li and Han Xin surrounded by civil and military officials to discuss future strategies.
"Li Du Du is here" The eunuch guarding the door recognized Li Ji and hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat.
Li Ji and Li Siye hurriedly quickened their pace, strode into the conference hall, and bowed in front of the eldest grandson Wujian who was wearing a queen's dress and a phoenix crown: "Minister Li Ji and Li Siye meet the queen's mother" The eldest grandson Wujian hurriedly got up, took a few steps forward, and personally helped Li Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, up: "Alas, Li Qing is finally back, the mourning family is really eager to wear it, you are the humerus of my Tang Dynasty, carrying the pillars, why do you need to do this big gift, please get up quickly" t1706231537:
