Chapter 206: Apology for life and apologizing for a young girl to help with medical treatment

Liang Jishou leaned on the ground and said, "I am guilty."

Li Wei didn't say anything, looking at the outside of the tent. Not far from the outside was the Yangtze River. It was the dry season. Although it joined the Wen River, the river surface was still very narrow, even similar to Luoshui. Large swaths of mudflats were exposed on both sides of the river. The mudflats were covered with river water washed for millions of years, forming smooth pebbles.

Not far upstream is the Wenjiang River, which is sandwiched between the Wenjiang River and the Jinsha River. Li Wei's army headed south and only stayed in Yizhou for a short time, and then came to Rongzhou. He decided in Chang'an. When he first chose the place of the army gathering, it was different from Liang Jishou, after all, Yaozhou had been lost. So he chose three places, one was Yizhou, but Yizhou was too far from Yaozhou, with a different climate and a different terrain. There was also Yizhou, which was very close to Yaozhou, but it was also very close to Tubo, but it was very far from the source of troops. Now we have to train the army, not fight, and we gave up. Finally, we chose Rongzhou.

New Year's Day has just passed, and even Rongzhou will not be very hot. It can only be said that it is stronger than the ice and snow of Chang'an. The cold air affects the weather and the weather is not very stuffy. In general, Li Wei did not feel uncomfortable when he came here. Then he gathered the army and carried out simple training and organization. There were many people asking for the army to join the army, but not all, and only 10,000 people were recruited. However, there were many people. After repeated selection, these 10,000 people were stronger than the thousands of people selected by Liang Jishou at the time. He also had to choose three thousand of them as civilians and escort the baggage. In addition, Liang Jishou still had two or three thousand people. If it were not for Tubo, the number of troops in the southern expedition this time was enough.

After a while, Li Wei said, "General Liang, get up."

Liang Jishou got up, no longer as energetic as he did when he said goodbye to the East Palace, and he felt even more indifferent. He forced the prince to go south, but he could think of the court's attitude.

"General Liang, the imperial court was originally planning to send an imperial envoy to behead you directly and show it to the public."

"minister……"

"In the end, Liu Rengui's husband asked for love for you, so when he left Chang'an, his father asked him to ask about your guilt. In fact, when you left, he said, don't be greedy for merit."

"I... know my mistake."

"It's really wrong. When you defeated Meng Jian, the situation was very good. You could win and return to the dynasty. However, you went south and sacrificed countless soldiers without mentioning them. You immediately took back Yaozhou and sacrificed more soldiers. These are all good men of the Tang Dynasty. Not only soldiers, but the country's past few years was not good and the national treasury was short, because you had to waste much financial resources." Li Wei said with heartache.

"I'm wrong."

"I am not the one who can accept your mistakes. There is still another chance to make you commit crimes and make meritorious service."

"Sin death is to serve thousands of people."

"I don't like to hear these words, nor do I like kowtowing insects. I ask you, what happened in Yaozhou after you arrived in Kunzhou."

Liang Jishou was not an ordinary person. When he heard that things had a turnaround, he looked calm and said, "The situation in Yaozhou is very bad now. After Meng Jian entered Yaozhou City, he plundered many people and took them west of Yangbi River and Jinsha River, and then captured various supplies to Yaozhou City."

Hearing this sentence, Li Wei and Pei Xingjian looked at each other.

Liang Jishou said again: "The criminal also sent someone to investigate secretly. When I went south, I also sent soldiers to guard Yaozhou City. However, this time Meng Jian came in a fierce manner, especially the Shunman tribes in Jinsha River. The soldiers reached more than 10,000 soldiers, which was more fierce than the previous time. The soldiers guarding the city did not know, and finally lost the city after three days of fierce fighting. But I speculated that it was not the Shunman tribes, but Tubo had already participated. But now the guards in Yaozhou City are very close, and even the ministers cannot check more information. But I know about it, and heard that His Highness's army came, and more than 10,000 soldiers were guarded in the city. At the same time, some tribes in Shunman sent more soldiers, and some tribes in the south were foolish again, and they were collecting tribes that were loyal to our Tang Dynasty."

"How many rebels are there from Yangbi River to Yaozhou City?"

"Thirty or forty thousand people."

"Thirty or forty thousand people, why do you have to worry? The rebels did not once reach more than one hundred thousand."

"Your Highness, that's different. Not only more than 100,000 people, but it once reached 200,000, but that was just a threat. Even the old farmers in the fields put down their farm tools and participated. These people were of varying quality, and they came from various tribes, which were full of conflicts. It was impossible for them to stay in the army for many years. In fact, after gathering for a while, they soon dispersed on their own. After coming, I gathered for a while again, and there were also 100,000 people. However, such an army was no different from 300,000 people. But this time, 300,000 troops were elite soldiers and guards of various units. After several months of suppression, the power of the Mengshezhao tribes was not as strong as before."

There was another sentence that was not said, because I wanted to go south quickly, some of the methods were fierce. If it were just the Tang Dynasty, the barbarians could be afraid of being beaten, but not only the Tang Dynasty and Tubo supported it, but also defeated the Tang army in Dafeichuan. These tribes were unpleasant and had confidence, so the momentum of rebellion remained unchanged last year. Speaking of this, Liang Jishou said hesitantly: "Your Highness, are there less troops you lead?"

"There are quite a lot, take the orphan to see your subordinates."

"Here."

All two thousand soldiers gathered. These soldiers were all washed down by the waves and the formation may not be neat, but they unconsciously showed a kind of fierceness and murderous aura, but they could see at first glance that they were a group of veterans. Li Wei asked the generals to light the roster, which surprised him a little. Liang Jishou defeated Meng Jian’s meritorious soldiers, Linghu Zhi, Ma Renjing, Li Dazhi, Liang Zhi and Han Qingyu, still survived by chance. Another person also survived, and the marching commander Luo Binwang.

Li Wei looked curiously. Pei Xingjian wrote a good handwriting, but he was not a famous poet. He also knew Li Jiao and Cui Rong. In terms of literary fame, he did not look very good. He was a thin middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt and a long beard. Seeing Li Wei look at him, he straightened his waist.

He knew a lot and knew that the good writing of poetry was just poetry. Therefore, Li Wei quickly turned his attention.

After clicking the name, Li Wei said, "General Liang, you can lead them to rest."

There is no question about going south, anyway, it happened. But Di Renjie suddenly asked, "General Liang, where is that Jimo?"

Liang Jishou's face changed, and even two drops of sweat came out. Since he knew Jimo and even knew the real reason for Nan Zheng, he bowed down again and said, "I am guilty."

"Get up and talk." Li Wei said.

"Yes," Liang Jishou stood up, but his face was pale. He knew the inside story. It was not only the crime of defeat, but also the crime of deceiving the king. Of course, it was not as mentioned in the storytelling. If you were defeated, the soldiers would always find reasons to excuse him. For example, Guo Daifeng could not be executed immediately because of this. But it would undoubtedly be even worse.

In fact, since Liang Jishou went south, the court has been extremely concerned about his work. He was not the only one who was moved... but the road was far away and he could not be notified immediately. Then the court secretly sent some scouts to the southwest. The memorials of Liang Jishou's defeat were not dived to the capital. The relevant information had been sent to Li Zhi, including capturing Jimo and Ye Yi and others fleeing. But knowing the truth, no one among the court officials except Di Renjie vaguely noticed anything.

Liang Jishou returned to the tent with a look of earth again and told the whole story. When he went south, he did not think of anything else and wanted to fight quickly. However, after the army arrived in Yizhou, Luo Binwang was stranded for a few days. At a poem banquet, the three of Jimo found Luo Binwang and persuaded him. Luo Binwang was half-believing and half-doubted, and reported to Liang Jishou. Liang Jishou called these three people into the tent. It was impossible to say that they were not moved, but they were also half-doubted, but they were not the three of them escaped alive. There were several other people, including two subordinates of Jimo. When the army advanced south, they quietly sent people to call the two of them to prove the two of them to witness. Several people said the same thing. Just as the battle went smoothly, the resistance of the army to the south became very small, and they proved to the locals that the Xiang Tomb said, so they became greedy.

After saying that, Liang Jishou fell to the ground and said, "I shouldn't be greedy."

"Get up, but General Liang, you are greedy. These three people had also looked for Gu at the beginning, but did Gu have greed?" Li Wei sighed. After all, he was at fault. He did not expect that these three people were so bold. He said: "Gu does not want to deal with you, and the final solution will be arranged by the court. If the court is lenient, it depends on how you will lose your merits in this battle."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Liang Jishou was about to retreat, but Di Renjie said again: "Let's wait."

Li Wei was suspicious and puzzled. Even if he found Jimo now and killed him, it would be useless. But Di Renjie insisted and asked, "Where is that Jimo?"

"He asked me to kill." He lowered his head in fear and shame again. Others said, but listened to him. Doing this is undoubtedly a murder to silence people. It is ugly. If you really pursue it, it is another crime. Li Wei looked at Di Renjie in confusion, and Di Renjie said, "Since you have killed it, then forget it."

I just doubted, there was no evidence, nor did I expect the court to let me go to the front line, but I expected that Liang Jishou would probably kill Jimo. It can only be seen whether the arrangements in the capital will take effect.

...

Liang Jishou arrived, and after preparing for it, the army began to officially move south. At that time, the Lantern Festival was only celebrated, and the speed was half a month faster than expected. But it was better than it was sooner, and the situation began to deteriorate. In March, when Yaozhou went south, there would be peach blossom miasma. It was not as terrifying as the novel wrote, and it was not everywhere, which might bring considerable trouble to the soldiers.

After crossing a mountain, suddenly the soldiers in front came to report: "Your Highness, two women in front of him blocked the road and asked to see Your Highness."

"Two women?" Li Wei asked strangely, and quickly rode a horse to the front of the army. There were two girls, one in his early twenties and the other in his teens. They were very pretty and had two plateau red on their faces. They looked different from the Central Plains girls, and they were pretty and lively. Especially the younger girls, they looked outstanding. But they certainly were not local girls, there were girls on the mountain and red on the plateau red, but they were very light. In fact, it was here. Apart from the clothes and dress, there were no differences between the locals and the Central Plains people. In addition, the two women were not standard in their official words, but they were not far apart.

"Who are you? Why do you meet orphans?"

The older one replied: "The subjects are the people of the King of Jinsha Riverside, and the father is the doctor in the tribe. When the Shun tribe went east, all our tribes were massacred or captured and abused, and all the parents of the subjects were killed by them."

He said sobbed in silence.

Li Wei was relieved. There were many tribes by the Jinsha River. Now Nanzhao is very chaotic. There may be tens of thousands of people in the large tribe, but there are only a few hundred people in the small tribe, and even a clan is a tribe. For example, Erhai Lake, there are hundreds of tribes of all sizes. Not to mention the court, even the locals are not able to be clear. However, living by the Jinsha River, the sea is a bit high, so there is a plateau red on his face. Doctors have a very high status in the tribes in the south. Although most of these doctors are witches and can pretend to be magical, their medical skills are very suspicious. However, because of their status, it is not very strange that the two girls can speak some Tang Dynasty's official words after their parents. They said casually: "I led my army south to deal with them, and give them justice to each of the imperial tribes."

"Thank you Your Highness, but the subjects have a request. We sisters both luckily understand some medical skills. Can we accompany you to Yaozhou together? If all the soldiers are sick, we can help you to thank Your Highness for this."

"You guys have a good intention to accept it alone, but this is the army..."

Li Wei was about to refuse, but Pei Xingjian interrupted and said, "Your Highness, this is their kindness. Do you remember what you said, attacking the heart is the best. Conquering is just a means, and it needs to be governed in the end."
