Chapter 721 Can't Go
Wei Hao was surprised to see Li Dezhao like this.
"It's okay, I walked on the battlefield. Oh, I'm still lucky. Cheng Liulang is gone. Moreover, those who went out to fight this time were basically injured. I just said whether they were disabled or not." Li Debao looked at Wei Hao with a wry smile and said. Wei Hao nodded in a sigh and asked him to come and sit down.
"I really didn't expect that this battle was so difficult! Shen Yong, after we learned the content of your memorial, we were so surprised that the people there were really, and we didn't want to kill them at all, but they just came with weapons, so we could only fight.
Later, we couldn't tell whether the other party was an army or a commoner. Anyway, let's not talk about it. On the way back, everyone was silent. It was not that they were silent after defeating the battle, but that we didn't know who the opponent was. We had to fight every day and there was no time to rest.
If we live on flat ground, then we will fight at night. Those people will attack our garrison and then kill, and they will not be able to kill them. Do you know? We don’t want to fight anymore? As for the regular army in Persia, to be honest, they are no match for us at all and cannot support them in a round. Most of our casualties are caused by the common people!” Li Dezhang sat down and told Wei Hao about the battlefield.
When Wei Hao heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile. You don’t have to think about it. How many Persian people died in this battle? The Tang army suffered so much casualties. Those people were at least ten times more casualties, even far more than that.
The Tang army had very strong combat power. Even if it was a company of troops, if they faced the common people, they could kill thousands of people, and it would be impossible to wipe out the entire army. Before, Cheng Liulang's army was wiped out the entire army, which shows how many people came to fight and how many people their troops killed.
"Shenyong, everyone is reflecting on this battle now, and the military academy is also reflecting on why we fought like this in this battle?" Li Jing sat there and said.
"Why? We are invading. The people over there are not familiar with us, nor do they know the style of our army. I said it will take ten years, but they don't listen, and they will go to beat others in three years. If it is ten years, they will definitely know the strength of our Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty.
If they were controlled by us, their lives would definitely be better, but if no one did this, they would know that defeating their army would be easy to defeat. What about the people? Then wouldn’t our Tang army become butchers? Is this possible?
This battle is even more difficult to fight later. All the relatives of each family died at the hands of our Tang army. Tell me, how should we fight then?" Wei Hao sat there and said very angrily.
"Hey!" Li Jing also sighed.
"It's hard and cannot be defeated. Those people are not afraid of death at all. Although we and them are enemies, we still admire them. We will buried their bodies. There is no way. They are to protect their relatives and their homes. We are invaders!" Li Dezhang sat there, shook his head and said.
"Next, I don't know what to do? The Supervision Bureau is still checking who intercepted the telegram!" Li Jing said, touching his beard.
"Can you find it out? For so long, that person may have been dead, but it's impossible to find out!" Wei Hao shook his head and said, not believing it at all.
"But, aren't it just those people? Only they can have a relationship of interest. Who would like to do such a thing?" Li Jing looked at Wei Hao and asked.
"We haven't found out now, so let's not talk about this, hey!" Wei Hao also sighed. What's the point of guessing now is, and there is no evidence.
"Well, Shen Yong, when will you go back to Luoyang?" Li Jing asked.
"The day after tomorrow, I originally thought I would leave tomorrow, but my father said that I would not want to attend the court meeting tomorrow morning, but my father forced me to attend. I saw if there was a way to avoid it, as long as I could avoid it!" Wei Hao said to Li Jing.
"You'd better not go, something will happen tomorrow!" Li Jing immediately reminded Wei Hao and said,
Wei Hao looked at Li Jing.
"Those martial arts will attack tomorrow!" Li Jing said to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao also stared at Li Jing.
"The Ministry of War needs to be responsible for such a large number of casualties. So many soldiers on the front line have proved that there is no error in command. It is impossible for Jingde to take this responsibility? The retreating telegram was also sent, but three letters were sent without a response. Doesn't anyone need to bear the responsibility for this matter?
Those martial arts will attack tomorrow, including your Uncle Cheng Yaojin, Uncle Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, Zhang Liang, Liu Zhenghui and Tang Jian, they will attack. This matter is not simple!" Li Jing sat there and spoke.
Wei Hao looked at Li Jing incomprehensible. What does this mean to call him over? Can he argue with the generals? So he asked, "Father-in-law, what do the father wants me to go over? How can I ask me to comfort them?"
"I don't know yet, but I must have this meaning when I let you go there, so it's better not to go there. I won't go there tomorrow, I can't go there. If I go there, I guess the emperor will ask me to comfort them. I can't do such a thing, otherwise it will make the old brothers feel disappointed!" Li Jing sat there and said to Wei Hao.
"Then I won't go. It was their mistake. Why do they have to let the generals bear it? Is there a little explanation? Moreover, if they were defeated this time, the generals could not reward them. They would give so much effort. If they don't have a reward, they would have made an unknown mistake and could not be explained!" Wei Hao sat there, nodded and said.
"That's what it means, tomorrow, you try not to go!" Li Jing said to Wei Hao.
"What if the father sends someone here?" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing and asked.
"Hey, then you should try your best to delay the time!" Li Jing said sighing, knowing that Li Shimin would definitely do this.
He wanted Wei Hao to appease the generals. It was possible that Wei Hao could not do such a thing. Then Wei Hao asked Li Dezhang about the war on the front line. Li Dezhang said so miserable. He cried many times, but Li Jing couldn't help but wipe his tears. Wei Hao also appeased Li Dezhang. It was about to be a curfew, and Wei Hao returned to his mansion.
"Are you back?" Wei Furong has been waiting for Wei Hao in the living room. When he saw Wei Hao coming back, he felt much more relieved.
"Dad, it's so late, why don't you go to bed?" Wei Hao asked Wei Furong.
"I can't sleep, you haven't come back. I can sleep so much. Now there are many rumors in the court. I have heard a lot in the restaurant. Son, you have to pay attention!" Wei Furong looked at Wei Hao and explained.
"I know, dad, since I can't sleep, why don't you go to the study and sit for a while?" Wei Hao asked, helping Wei Furong.
"Okay, go to the study and sit. In addition, the patriarch came here today, saying that he hoped to meet you. After waiting for a long time, you have not come back, so after dinner, I went back!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao.
"What's the matter with him looking for me?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong with no idea.
"I don't know, it's not a good thing for anyone to look for you anyway. It's better for you to hide from Luoyang. I know a lot of things now. It's right that you didn't become an official before. I blame me for letting you manage so many things at the beginning, but now I'm doing it, hey!" Wei Furong said with a sigh.
"Dad, why are you talking about this? It's okay, I just don't want to care about things, but whoever wants to touch me now doesn't have the ability!" Wei Hao helped Wei Furong sit down, then sat opposite him and started making tea.
"I know that the soldiers who went out to fight this time were all young people. What a pity. Now many people also say that if I had heard of you, there would not have been such a great sacrifice, hey!" Wei Furong said and sighed again.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. What do they know if there is nothing?" Wei Hao said with a smile, then made tea for the old man. The father and son chatted very late, and Wei Hao went to bed.
The next day, just as the sky was dawn, Wei Furong arrived at Wei Hao's room.
"Son, Hao'er?" Wei Furong called Wei Hao.
"Well, dad, why are you doing it early in the morning?" Wei Hao sat up in confusion and looked at his father.
"The person from the palace is the prince. It is said that his Majesty asked you to go to court!" Wei Furong said to Wei Hao.
"What's the matter? I have something wrong with it early in the morning. I said yesterday. If you don't go, you won't go, you will send someone to shout!" Wei Hao shouted in anger.
"Hao'er, you can't say that. Get dressed quickly. Just go to the court and just say nothing. Don't cause trouble for yourself, okay? You can't do it if you don't go. Your Majesty has sent someone to your house. If you don't go, Your Majesty may be dissatisfied with you at that time!" Wei Furong advised Wei Hao and said.
"Okay, okay, I'll go and wash up. Dad, please treat Eunuch Wang well and try to delay the time!" Wei Hao explained to Wei Furong.
"Okay!" Wei Furong nodded. Anyway, Wei Hao's instructions were done by himself. He must have to go there, but if he could be late, he would be late. Wei Hao finished washing and breakfast, which was already half an hour later.
"I said, Duke Xia, you should hurry up, Your Majesty is waiting for you!" As soon as Wei Hao went downstairs, Wang De immediately stood up and looked at Wei Hao with a wry smile and said.
"I said yesterday that if I don't go to court, why did my father ask you to come here? It's true!" Wei Hao also said with a depressed look on his face.
"Go away quickly. Now you're already in court. You're already late. Your Majesty will be angry at that time!" Wang De said to Wei Hao with a smile.
"Let's go, hey, do you know what's going on?" Wei Hao asked.
