Chapter 237 "Supervisor II"
Chapter 237: Military Supervisor II
The season has been approaching in recent years. Among the scattered snowflakes, there are many people entering Chang'an on the Ba Bridge outside Chang'an City, but the long horse team in front of you is undoubtedly an exception.
Nearly a hundred guards guarded two Xuan cars out of Chang'an and crossed Baqiao all the way north. These guards were all covered in black armor. In addition, the blood-red cloak behind them, although there were few people, they seemed to be so imposing that the pedestrians on the opposite side consciously made way out after seeing the horse team from afar.
"Ajiu, is Tang Qi back?" The horse team was hit, and Tang Li lifted the curtain to ask the captain of the cavalry guard Tang Jiu.
"Brother Seven is back!" Tang Jiu, who was riding a horse and Xuan car, bent down and replied, "But before returning, he said that he would go north with Mr. Li to meet with the master in the pass."
"Yeah, I understand!" Hearing this, Tang Li waved his hand, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The reason for his wry smile was not that Tang Qi insisted on going to the inner palace, but because this kid was too capable. In other words, he got married much later than Tang Li, but in just a few months, he could actually make his wife bigger. On the contrary, Tang Li himself has been married for nearly two years, and there are still several wives, but none of them have any movement. For this matter, the one who is the Buddha who is the most dedicated to the Buddha is to send his son to Guanyin. As for the reason why Tang Qi did not let Tang Qi guard the leader this time, in addition to Li Mi, who was temporarily staying in Chang'an, need to hire people, Tang Li did have the intention to take care of his husband and wife reunite.
In the cold winter that is coming to an end in the past year, and it will take at least half a year to go there. Thinking of this, Tang Li was sitting in the carriage and lost much energy. According to his thoughts, since he could not fight before the New Year, he was ready to wait for Zhengyuan before leaving, but he had no choice but to make his position more than heaven. Because of the An Lushan rebellion, the court and the royal family's concerns about the generals of the Hu people's command of soldiers deeply affected Li Rui, who had just ascended the throne. The "Start immediately" in the imperial edict made Tang Li's idea of spending New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival with his family into vain.
Confronting Tang Li's mood, Li Taibai in the Xuan car revealed a kind of high spirit and strength that was inconsistent with age. The gloom that could not be resolved between his eyebrows in the past had already been swept away, and his hands would tightly hold the long sword leaning against him from time to time.
He studied the scriptures at the age of eight and learned swords at the twelve years old. Since then, this long sword has never left Li Bai's waist. The man immediately strives for wealth and honor. Li Bai is confident enough about his talents. From the moment he "left home with his sword and travels far away", he has longed to use his talent in his heart and the long sword in his hand to make unparalleled achievements for the Tang Dynasty, thus achieving his lifelong achievements.
Unfortunately, more than 20 years have passed, except for his talent in poetry, his talent as a "country and country" has never been able to display his talent. And this long sword that has accompanied him for decades is also in the dust box and cannot be shining.
It was a pity that when the old age was approaching, he finally met the current celebrity, Grand Secretary Tang, through Princess Yuzhen. Coincidentally, this master praised his talent; even more coincidental, as soon as the two met, these masters would go north to quell the rebellion as the military supervisor.
When he was rebelled by An Thief, he was appreciated and valued by the military supervisor and was able to go north as an aide. All of this in front of him made Li Taibai, who had been depressed for half a lifetime, and he would be happy. He would ride the wind and waves and sail across the vast ocean. He believed that this turning point in his life would definitely make him achieve great achievements and be named Marquis of Wanhu. He was eager to make achievements in his heart like fire, so that he could not feel the bitterness of the cold wind when he opened the curtains from afar. Instead, the cold wind like a knife aroused his passion for "laughing to the sky". Thinking of this, his hand couldn't help but tighten the sword in his hand.
Looking at Li Bai's actions, Tang Li couldn't help but smile. The sorrow of quitting home and traveling far during the New Year holiday has also been relieved a lot, and it has been overwhelmed for a long time. It is rare to still have this kind of boy-like excitement over fifty years old. The banished immortal is worthy of being a banished immortal. Whether he is "stupid" or he is persistent, in short, this person lives in a "true" way, "I laugh to the sky and go out, how can we be weeds?"
From "How can I bow my eyebrows and serve the powerful and unhappy people, so that I can't be happy", to the unconcealed excitement and desire, either bold, indignant, or excited, in short, Li Bai's life is real, just like his poems, spreading out his thoughts and thoughts without any concealment, this is true at the age of twenty and fifty, and abandoning the secular contamination, and acting a little crazy, he always maintains a "crystal-like" transparent heart.
The longer he lived with Li Bai, the more Tang Li understood why he could become a poet immortal throughout the ages. In addition to his innocence, what is more important is that it originated from his truth. Although this truth has a tragic color to his real life trajectory, it is this "truth" that allows his life and poetry to be sung through the times and be sung through the ages. After all, the most real and most vital and infectious. Only "truth" can truly touch people and arouse resonance in people's hearts.
"The weather is cold and the journey is boring. How many bottles do I drink with Brother Taibai?" Tang Li casually pulled open the secret wall in the carriage and said with a smile while picking out the wine.
When he smelled wine, Li Taibai, who was looking out from the window, smiled and turned around and said, "What I said goodbye to me is just right!"
There was a fire cage in the car, and at this time the small red mud stove with warm wine also made a sizzling sound, adding a little warmth to the car.
Pressing the sword on his knees, Li Taibai ate a bottle of cold wine in front of him, turned his head and asked, "Don't you be the supervisor, why don't you go to Bianzhou first? This place is a battle here, and it's time to be able to do things."
Hearing this, Tang Li, who was drinking warmly, smiled slightly. If the court had not been worried about these Hu generals, he would not have accepted the position of the military supervisor. Since ancient times, he was afraid that no general who was fighting abroad would like to put a military supervisor around him.
Although he accepted the position of military supervisor, Tang Li set a tone for his position before leaving Beijing. He wanted to minimize the suspicion and guard against the generals of the three commanders of the army. This is why he did not go to Bianzhou and Tongguan, and it would be useless to go. Instead, it would be better to go north directly. One reason was that he had a different relationship with Geshuhan after all, and the two could trust each other more; the other was that he could also use the central task of cutting off the ground at An Lushan.
The things that were thinking about were of no use to Li Bai. He just smiled slightly and said, "There will be no war in Bianzhou and Tongguan for several months. The rebellion will be suppressed next year. The three great troops of Geshu will be the first. Instead of going to those two places, we should go north first. We can do something really."
"It's good!", and another bottle of wine was gone. Li Bai said with great enthusiasm: "When he arrived at General Geshu's camp, he would definitely ask for a battle on the battlefield. I hope that the other party would be able to talk to him on his behalf!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" After a few words of casual agreement, Tang Li slowly injected the warm wine into Li Bai's jar. The exiled immortals are still a little elegant. It's simply a war maniac. When Li Jing left, Tang Li tried his best to stay in the capital, and promised to report to him to take a job in the Honglu Temple immediately, but Li Bai just refused and insisted on going out to Beijing. Now it seems that he is already impatient to participate in the war.
The car was in a hurry. The two of them chatted with wine. Li Bai, who was so excited that he could not suppress his lifelong ambitions over and over again with the intention of drinking. Later, he couldn't help but feel passionate in his heart, and he didn't care whether he was driving, holding a sword to attack the case. The song was already circulating in the world, "The Legend of the World":
Zhao Ke is a man with Hu Ying, Wu Gou is a bright snow. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, sturdy like a meteor.
Kill one person in ten steps, and no matter how far you go, you will leave after a thousand miles. After the matter, you will leave and hide in your name.
I was idle after Xinling drinking, took off my sword and stood up in front of my knees.
Three cups of snoring, but the five mountains become lighter. After the eyes are blurred, the ears are hot, and the spirit is simple and bright.
Rescuing Zhao to swing the golden hammer, Handan was shocked first. Two heroes in the Qianqiu.
Even if you die, the heroes are fragrant. I am ashamed of the world. Who can write to you, Bai Tai Xuan Jing?
The car was running non-stop. The long song that Li Bai missed was heard from a distance through the car curtain. There was a unique sense of high spirit in the hoarse song. Hearing this song, the young guards walking in the cold wind felt a heat on their bodies, and they stood up again, which had already been straightened......
……… …… …… …… ……… …………
After leaving Xinfeng County, the car went north and south and gradually entered the mountainous area. Soon, the "Jingguan", known as the Eight Dangers of Taihang, was already far away.
The terrain of Jingjing Pass is extremely dangerous. From this, you can go north to the dangerous pass and bypass the two rivers to reach the Guannei Road.
Tang Li looked at the continuous mountains covered with silver in the distance, got off the car and moved his hands and feet and turned his head and said, "Brother Taibai, get off the car!"
After Li Bai got out of the car, Tang Li nodded, except for the twelve cavalry guards left behind, the other cavalry guards continued to guard the two chariots and continued to move forward. The twenty cavalry guards left behind also changed their clothes, and no longer had the mighty aura in front of him. In front of him, Tang Li and his party looked like ordinary young master Guijie on a trip.
"After the car drove through the well, there was an army guard sent by Geshu. He couldn't move at that time. There was no war in the near future, and it would be useless to go too early. It would be better to go all the way by yourself, so you can see the people's conditions and travel to Shushang and Shushang and Shushang and bones." After saying this to Li Bai with a smile, Tang Li wrapped the red cloud cloak wrapped around his body, took the reins handed by Tang Jiu and turned over.
Although he was over fifty years old, Li Bai, who was a hiking person, was more than twice as good as Tang Li. After laughing at the sudden change, he got on his horse neatly, and a group of fourteen horsemen rushed away.
After leaving the well, he went straight into the inner road of the pass and continued northward, passing through some remote towns and counties, Tang Li, who revisited the old place, once again arrived at the nearest place in Gyeongju.
"Master, the inn has been arranged. Let's go now?" After entering the city gate, there were already guards from the front station to meet him. Tang Li and his party immediately went to Ping'an Inn in the city.
When I visited the old place again, Tang Li slowly rode his horse to see that the population in Qingzhou City was much more prosperous than when I came last time, but most of the more people were ragged and hungry. Looking at the autumn clothes these people were wearing, there was no need to ask, Tang Li also knew that these people must be refugees who escaped from the two rivers due to war.
"Tang Jiu, give them some food and leave some money!" He frowned and pointed at the refugee mother and daughter who were huddled together at the corner of the street. Tang Jiu, who agreed, then rode away.
Not to mention the mother and daughter who thanked each other repeatedly, Tang Jiu's alms immediately attracted dozens of refugees to surround Tang Li and his party, and many refugees came from afar.
The food he brought with him was gone, and then Li Bai and Tang Jiu and other guards scattered more than ten treasures. Tang Li and his party were able to escape from the crowd while the refugees were leaning over to pick up money.
"I have sent someone to inquire, and there will be rewards later. It is normal for the war between the two rivers to be more refugees. You don't have to worry too much!", Ping An Inn, Tang Jiu carefully persuaded Tang Li and said, "The meal is ready. I think it's delivered to the room or in the lobby?"
"Just in the lobby, you went to invite Mr. Taibai together." Although you knew that Tang Jiu was telling the truth, the scene just now was really hard to let Tang Li go. Hebei Road did not mention it, but the military orders that Hedong Road gathered troops to defend Jinyang and Jinzhou were not allowed to fight against the rebels were after all, and the collection of food reserves for the people was directly from his instruction. Although it was a last resort, the refugees in front of him were indeed related to Tang Li, and what caused him to catch fire was the inaction of the local officials. Since hearing what Huaisu said that day, the Political Affairs Hall had written to the place of refugees repeatedly and emphasized the matter of resettlement of refugees, especially the eastern capital Luoyang and Guannei Road, which was adjacent to the battlefield, were more important. The money and food allocated to these two places was more than 30% more than other places. Even though there were many refugees during the war, if the local officials gave all the money and food, they would never have been borne in the past.
The lobby was also lively, but after the scene just now, not only Tang Li, but also Li Taibai lost his smile. The two of them silently used their food, and heard a diner next to them sigh: "It's only been two days since the rice has risen to 160 yuan. It seems that it will rise again in this way. Now this day really makes people unable to live!"
The sigh of the elderly diner in thick robes immediately attracted a lot of echoes, saying that the price of rice doubled in a day was really impossible to survive. Now some people scolded the profiteering businessmen, the government was incompetent, and even some cursed the political affairs hall, one of them even scolded Tang Li by name.
A blue air flashed across his face. Tang Li turned his head and shook Tang Jiu, and listened to the gossip in the lobby.
