Chapter 555 The fish and dragon helpers bully the master, Xu Fengnian returned to Liang
Li Maozhen suddenly asked carefully, “Prince, why don’t we change positions? The last general dare not sit in the middle. He always thinks whether the prince is polite and then the soldiers, and he will take off the official hat of the last general.”
Xu Fengnian joked, “Xu Xiao said before that Li Maozhen was very addicted to official positions, so he made an exception to ask the Liyang court for a guerrilla general with a fixed quota of four people. Now it seems that this is true.”
Li Maozhen laughed and said, “If you don’t be a high-ranking official, how can you lead the troops to fight? The last general only knows his weight, otherwise he will want to ask the prince for an official position as the commander.”
Xu Feng said in a young voice: “Some will fight next.”
Li Maozhen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled knowingly, “According to our old rules, every time a war, the Xu family cavalry must set up temporary vanguard and two battalions. Otherwise, Li Maozhen, a general, had promised the last general, and the title of guerrilla general could be hereditary, and the old man had no wish. Li Houshi, the eldest son of the family, led troops no worse than me, who was the one who was my son. If Huang Guan handed him over, the prince could be relieved by a hundred.”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “Xu Xiao has died on the bed. You, Li Maozhen, have already lived with four generations, why are you going to the border to join in the fun?”
Li Maozhen said in a deep voice: “Then let’s take the final shot of the general to attack the horse border. Military advisor Li Yishan once said, “The Northern Barbarians always remember one thing, where is the gate of Liyang!”
Xu Fengnian originally wanted to part with him, bypass Huangguan and enter Liangzhou, but Li Maozhen was reluctant to let him go, and pestered him and turned into the guerrilla general’s mansion. Even Liu Gongren and others were unable to escape. There was a big banquet at the mansion, and Li Maozhen called the eldest son Li Houshi. The old lieutenant dared not drink the new Liang king, but he was not polite to Liu Gongren. In addition, Li Maozhen, an old wine insect soaked in the official wine tank, was perfect for drinking and urging him to hide. Several young handsome men from the military field department thought to try to stay awake in front of the young vassal kings at first, but they quickly drank down. Liu Gongren got drunk and sang on the bowl. It was Yu Luandao’s “Liangzhou Horse Song”. The banquet ended happily. Li Maozhen was also drunk, so Li Houshi had to help Xu Fengnian send out the Huangguan. When he left the palace, there was a handsome young man in Confucian shirt following behind. Li Houshi, who was in his prime, looked helpless and explained to Xu Fengnian that he was his youngest son Li Jingfu, who passed the exam for the scholar at the age of eleven. However, this child admired him, the King of Beiliang, the number one in the world. Xu Fengnian sincerely praised Li Jingfu as a rare seed of study in Beiliang.
Li Houshi’s appearance was his father Li Maozhen, but his official spirit was not strong. In the evening, according to the secret records of the Fushuifang, the Huangguan Cavalry Commander who had been the chief of the Yin Sui Sui Chang for eight years, walked with Xu Fengnian on the deserted street, and the figures of the two gradually elongated. Young Li Jingfu saw that the King of Beiliang and his father did not scold him for not understanding the rulesThe meaning of the four people tiptoed behind them, looking at Lu Yunchang carrying the knife and Wang Sheng carrying the box with envy. Master Li Hou hesitated for a moment and said softly: “Prince, my father is indeed selfish. He wants me to take over Huang Guan. My father kept saying that even if he can inherit the title of the guerrilla general, it would be meaningless. I hope the prince doesn’t mind.”
Speaking of this, Master Li Hou, who is not good at speaking, smiled embarrassedly, and he probably didn’t know how to continue the following.
Xu Fengnian smiled indifferently and said, “Your father is very addicted to officials. This time, he is also paving the way for you. Fortunately, he left an impression on the Qingliangshan Palace. It will always be easier to get promoted in the future, but you still underestimate your father too much. Before entering Guancheng, your father made a bet with me. If I saw you and felt that you could take on the heavy responsibility of guarding Huangguan, then he had to allow him to serve as an old soldier in any of the two battalions of Pioneer and Crazy Battle. To be honest, your future lieutenant was exchanged for your life today.”
Li Houshi blushed and held it for a long time. Finally, he said, “Prince, don’t listen to my father. The old man is so old that he can’t ride a horse in ordinary clothes. If he wears armor and spear, he can’t hold on to a stick of incense.”
Xu Fengnian nodded.
Li Houshi continued, “Prince, our Li family is quite popular. I and two younger brothers are from the army. Huangguan’s family business is not short of inheritance. My father’s wish should be fulfilled by my eldest son.”
Xu Fengnian turned his head and saw Lu Yunchang holding the boy in Confucian shirt whispering. It was probably because Lu Yunchang’s little slippery head was showing his elegance in the world. Li Jingfu finally waited until the vassal king turned his head, lowered his body, broke away from Lu Yunchang’s arm-shoulder and walked forward a few steps. Just as he was about to speak, Li Houshi glared at him, “Don’t be too arrogant, go back to read your book.”
The boy’s voice trembled slightly, and he said loudly: “I scholars, rather than keeping their writing in history, it is better to hang their heads on the country!”
As soon as these words came out, the already deserted streets became more and more silent. Mr. Li Hou is a big guy who is used to touching the bow and spear but rarely touching the pen. Wang Sheng and Lu Yunchang are even more useless, and they only think that these peers are very literary.
Xu Fengnian raised his hand and signaled Li Houshi not to speak. He smiled and said, “You are not old, but your tone is quite good. I have seen Huang Longshi, Cao Changqing and Xuanyuan Jingcheng. These three are all Confucian saints among the land gods.”
Hearing this, in just one sentence, three names appeared. The young Li Jingfu’s eyes shone brightly, looking at the great hero in his heart who was close to him, thinking that he was worthy of being the King of Beiliang who had traveled thousands of miles, and he had seen the world better than anyone else!
Xu Fengnian continued, “But they are not as angry as you, just open your mouth.”
Master Li Hou couldn’t help but smile, but saw thatThe pale face of his youngest son sighed quietly again.
Xu Fengnian seemed to be talking to himself, “The reputation of literati is kept in history, and the military officials are hanging their heads on the country, so they do not delay each other. It would be great if the former could write more good words from the latter when they closed their doors and wrote beautiful articles.”
