Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 467

Li Shimin felt a little comforted in his heart. Because Wang Ping'an was not in Chang'an during this time, no one gave advice to Li Zhi, so Li Zhi returned to his old-fashioned nature, and Li Shimin's dissatisfaction with him increased. During the day, Li Zhi cried like a child, which made him even more dissatisfied!
Unexpectedly, after only half a day's effort, Li Zhi became so imposing when he entered the Ganlu Palace again, and even shouted his intuition, saying in public that he trusted Wang Ping'an. Well, and in the eyes of all the ministers, they must all feel that the prince is kind and righteous, and he is definitely not a heartless person!

Li Shimin sat up straight, stroked his beard, and sighed in his heart, his son has grown up, and he will finally win people's hearts!

Changsun Wuji was also happy in his heart, well, Zhi'er has begun to understand what is called the art of the emperor, he did it right and well, no matter whether the news of Fang Xuanling's death is true or not, Zhi'er is the ultimate winner, he will Get the loyal support of the ministers.Well, I remembered, the emperor also used this trick back then!
The ministers all looked at Li Zhi intently. They thought of the Lingyan Pavilion, the portraits of the heroes on it. Although the emperor never said anything, there was news from the palace that the emperor would always go there whenever he had free time. Sit down and recall the past.Love and righteousness, eternal Mingjun!I didn't expect the prince to be such a loving person!
Li Zhi supported Wang Ping'an for no reason, insisting that Fang Xuanling was not dead, otherwise Wang Ping'an would definitely report it, and would not wait for others to send the memorial first. Don't look at his behavior as "inexplicable", but everyone in the court , just follow his set!
Li Zhi's character value is going up!

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I hope things are as my son said!"

But the kneeling confidant was anxious, he lied, but he didn't think he was lying, because he concluded that Fang Xuanling must die, and when the robber was forced to jump over the wall, he couldn't do anything except kill the hostage... ...This is impossible. If I were a bandit, I wouldn't be able to just let Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu go!
He hurriedly said loudly: "His Royal Highness, everything the villain said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood!"

Li Zhi glared at him, and shouted: "There is no falsehood at all, because it is all false! Where is the warrior on duty, put this person in the prison and wait for his punishment!"

Logically speaking, there are only two people in the court who can issue such an order, one is Li Shimin and the other is Changsun Wuji. Enthroned!

However, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji didn't speak, but nodded together, thinking in their hearts: "Okay, a superior should have such boldness, and he should be decisive in doing things, and say what he says!"

The warrior on duty stepped forward, took his confidant out, and put him in the prison.

Li Shimin waved to Li Zhi and said, "Zhier, come here."

Li Zhi was sweating a little, he had never been so arrogant before, it was the first time he was so brave and mighty, he was not used to it.Seeing his father's call, he walked up the steps and came to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at his son, feeling relieved, and said, "Zhier, I hope your intuition is right, your uncle Fang is not in danger!"

Li Zhi said loudly: "Uncle Fang will never be in danger!" He spoke loudly, but his calf cramped a bit, don't really die, or I would be ashamed and thrown home.I felt a little regretful in my heart, it would have been better if I didn't say it in front of the court. I don't know if that little girl's idea will really come true.

The court ministers discussed for a long time, until the second watch, and finally broke up. Regarding the news of Fang Xuanling's death, there was no discussion. The only thing they could do was to send people to Zheliu County. Inquire about news.

Li Shimin didn't have any obvious compliments to Li Zhi, but his expression was much more amiable, and he even asked him to eat supper.However, Li Zhi kept thinking in his heart, deeply afraid that the little girl's idea would not work.

After returning to Lizheng Hall, he tossed and couldn't fall asleep and suffered from insomnia all night. Early the next morning, he hurriedly ran to Lixia Hall to find Wu Meiniang and asked her what to do next!
He had no idea, but Wu Meiniang's idea was very positive, and told Li Zhi not to worry, just wait and see what happened, and there would be another memorial sent tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

After Wu Meiniang comforted Li Zhi, she took him to the garden together, found a small slope, and lit incense in a small incense burner. They burned incense and prayed together, asking God for help. Send it here, Fang Xuanling must be safe!

Li Zhi didn't really believe in this at first, but now he had no choice but to pray with Wu Meiniang.After begging God for a long time, he suddenly understood a little bit. Could it be that Wu Meiniang, a little girl, is not sure about that idea?Otherwise, why ask God for help?

Zheliu County.

Wang Pingan stood at the top of the city and looked at the construction site. Behind him stood a large group of people, including Gu Lantian and You Xiujie, Su Dingfang and Di Renjie were also with him.Wang Pingan asked: "These days have been quiet. There is nothing wrong with Zheliu, and nothing happened on the grassland. It makes me a little suspicious. Could it be that the bandit Zheliu is so easy to deal with? It doesn't make sense!"

Gu Lantian said: "What's the difference? Our army is powerful, and those bandits always only take advantage of the advantages and not the disadvantages. I guess they ran away long ago. Change to another hill and continue to be thieves!"

Wang Pingan glanced at You Xiujie and said, "Master You, what do you think? Master You, Master You, what are you thinking?"

You Xiujie was quite distracted. These days, he has been worried about the memorial. Although he sent another group of confidantes to recover the memorial, there has been no news. He doesn't know how things are going.

Hearing Wang Ping'an call him, he was startled, ah, and said: "My lord, what did you say, I didn't hear clearly."

Wang Pingan said: "I just said that the willow thief is planning some kind of action secretly, wanting to take revenge on us?"

You Xiujie groaned again, and said: "I'm looking at Fang Xiangye and General Wang. Since they were rescued, their bodies have been quite weak, so they specially asked someone to buy some tonics, so I will fry them and give them to you." Nourishing the body!" As he spoke, he turned around and went down to the city in a daze, and left.

Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian looked at each other.Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "What's the matter with him, why did he answer the wrong question and don't know what to say?"

Gu Lantian snorted, and said: "Who knows, I'm afraid I have done something wrong. I am so eager to curry favor with Mr. Fang, there must be no good!"

Wang Pingan shouted at You Xiujie: "Master You, what kind of tonic did you buy? Don't take the tonic indiscriminately. Would you like me to give it to you... Sigh, what happened to this man, he looks like a lost soul!"

Gu Lantian suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you just said that these days are too quiet, I'm afraid you said something wrong, and something will happen!" As he said, he pointed to the city, and saw a fast horse galloping towards him.

Wang Ping'an turned his head, looked down, and said, "It's the Turkic soldiers, the scouts we sent out."

While talking, the scout Pegasus arrived at the bottom of the city, looked up at the tower, and saw Wang Ping'an on top, so he rode his horse into the repaired city gate, and went straight up the wall. Before he got off his horse, he shouted: "Ping'an Khan, the last general will spy on you!" Arriving at the enemy's situation, there is an army from the north coming in this direction, the vanguard has 3000 people, the rear brigade has not found the number of people, the last general will come back first to report, brothers bypass the enemy's vanguard, and go to check the rear brigade!"

Wang Pingan was slightly taken aback, and said: "Sure enough, something happened, and I said it was impossible to stop like this. But whose army did you find out, is it from the Dayan Department?"

The scout shook his head and said: "It didn't come out, the vanguard didn't fight any banners, and they were running very fast, it looks like they are going to attack!"

Gu Lantian snorted, and said, "Running, this is what Turkic people are best at!"

Wang Ping'an turned to Su Dingfang and said, "Immediately send an order to let the old and the weak enter the city. Also, gather the troops and prepare for battle!"

Su Dingfang asked, "Do you want to defend the city, or do you want to fight in the field?"

Wang Pingan blinked and thought: "How do I know, I have never fought a war!" He asked back, "What do you think?"

Su Dingfang looked at Gu Lantian, the governor of Yumenguan didn't speak, he couldn't express his opinion.

Gu Lantian said: "Of course we should defend the city first. Even if we win a field battle with Turkic soldiers in such cold weather, it will be a miserable victory. The gains outweigh the losses!"

Su Dingfang thought for a while, and said: "What the ancient governor said is very true. However, according to the general, the city wall has not been completely repaired, and I am afraid that it will not last long just by defending the city. It is better to gather the army first, and then make calculations. ?”

Wang Pingan nodded and said: "That's fine, let's gather the army first, and then talk about other things."

Zheliu Turkic soldiers have been scattered to various places, looking for their own pastures.Zheliu County is huge, and the soldiers are scattered. If they want to gather together, it will take at least a day. If the time is delayed, the enemy will fight before the army gathers, and it will not be bad.

Su Dingfang agreed and took the order to go down to the city.

Wang Ping'an asked the scout again: "That army is coming in this direction, but is the target aimed at breaking willows? Or is it heading towards Shazhou or Yumen Pass?"

The scout shook his head and said: "It's too specific. It needs to be found out by the brothers behind. That army was running too fast. When it was found, it was already two hundred miles away from us. Now it is estimated that it is only one hundred and fifty or sixty miles away. It takes at least a hundred miles or so to determine which direction to go, and we are going straight to Zheliu, to the west is Shazhou, and to the east is Yumen Pass."

Wang Pingan waved his hand and said, "Understood, let's investigate again!"

The scout rode down the wall and went out of the city again.

Wang Ping'an said: "I reckon, they must have come to attack Zheliu, but it would be too big to want to use three thousand vanguards to Zheliu!"

Gu Lantian smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry, the enemy vanguard will not really attack the city, no matter how dilapidated the city wall is. After the enemy vanguard arrives, they will only shout around the city. It draws our army out of the city, and they will be defeated at the first touch. When our army catches up, they will not run very far, and they will meet their follow-up brigade, and then they will surround our army and fight. When our army dispatches the brigade, they will They will run again, our army will withdraw, and they will follow up again. The Turkic people come and go in war like this, and it hasn’t changed for many years, so you don’t have to worry at all!”

"Then if we don't leave the city, will they really attack the city?" Wang Pingan frowned.

Gu Lantian shook his head and said: "That's not scary, just send out scouts, notify my Yumen pass, let the troops leave the pass, and slowly march towards here, you can scare them away!"

Wang Ping'an snorted, and said, "That means we won't really fight a big battle. It's just that you frightened me and I frightened you? Then why did the enemy come here, and what benefits can they get?"

Gu Lantian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, who would do something that is useless? My Yumen Pass and your Zheliu are not rich, but there is enough oil and water in Shazhou. They only need to allocate part of their troops to feign an attack." , hold us back, and the other part went to plunder around Shazhou, and what we got was enough to survive the winter!"

"It turned out that the method of attacking the west was used." Wang Ping'an nodded, and said: "I am the governor of Shazhou, and I have to take care of Shazhou. Otherwise, let's divide our troops and block the enemy."

Gu Lantian thought to himself: "Whether Shazhou is robbed or not is none of my business!" He pretended to think for a while, and said: "It seems that there is no need to divide the troops in a hurry, let's see the enemy's movements first, if it really happens as we expected, they will play It's not too late for us to divide our forces."

Wang Pingan thought: "Wouldn't it be too late to divide the troops then? It seems that this guy can't count on him, and he's starting to plot against others again. He can't play with his mind enough!" Let's go, Governor Gu to accompany Fang Xiangye and the others, and I will gather the army and prepare to meet the enemy."

Gu Lantian immediately agreed, and went down to the castle.

Wang Ping'an also went down to the city, recruited a group of guards, and personally led the troops out of the city to investigate the enemy's situation.After walking ten miles with the guards, they boarded a high hill and looked to the north, but they couldn't see any enemies coming.

Not long after, the second batch of scouts rushed back and reported to Wang Pingan that the vanguard of the enemy soldiers had turned to Baoshi Lake, and they saw clearly that the leader of the army was Qu Zhimao!
Wang Ping'an thought: "It's confirmed, the attacking enemy is the Turkic soldiers of the Dayan tribe. This Qu Zhimao borrowed soldiers from the Dayan tribe. He was unwilling to destroy his old nest, so he turned halfway to see the Zhakong Mountain .”

He let out a hey, and said to his subordinates: "This Qu Zhimao really doesn't have much potential. If he comes to attack directly, before I have assembled an army, he might catch me by surprise, but he wants to go home and have a look." , time wasted, and if I come again, I will hit him!"

The Ouyang brothers all laughed, followed his words and made fun of Qu Zhimao.

After a while, the third batch of scouts came back.The scouts who came back this time all galloped desperately. When they saw Wang Ping'an on the hill, they shouted from a long distance away, in Turkic dialect, and their expressions were very anxious.

Brother Yelujun turned pale when he heard this, and said: "Master, we have found out that the enemy army is the Turkic soldiers of the Dayan tribe. There is going to be a big battle!"

Wang Ping'an was taken aback and shouted, "20, do they have so many Turkic soldiers?"
