Chapter 1488 Don’t Bring More People with You
In fact, everyone present had the same idea. General Moron had made great contributions, but just because he couldn't get along with the young general, you just sent him to a place like Lingnan. This is not a good idea, but they were all Li Xiang's confidants, and of course they knew that Li Xiang would not act on impulse, so they were afraid that General Moron would not be able to change his mind.
When General Moron saw that everyone raised their glasses, he could only clink his own glass with everyone, and then he drank the wine in his hand without knowing what it tasted like. Everyone saw this scene and didn't know how to comfort him. Even if you are eloquent, you can't say Lingnan is Chang'an, right?
The situation in the Western Regions is already very bad, but this is General Morun's hometown after all, and he has a large group of brothers around him, so he can still live a decent life. But if he goes to Vietnam, it's not certain. If he doesn't adapt to the local climate, he may die there. Don't underestimate the local climate in this era. How many people have lost their lives because of this? How long has His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin in the capital been recovering? He still doesn't leave his house now.
Of course, the guy didn't go out because he was afraid of being embarrassed. Rumors spread in Chang'an City. Everyone said that he had some relationship with the female monkey, so the guy could only stay at home. Although he asked someone to explain it to him, the more you explain about this kind of thing, the darker it gets. Can the people in the whole Chang'an City listen to this?
"Lord Protector, I have many soldiers following me. I also know that according to the court's rules, they cannot follow me to the south, but my personal soldiers..."
Many people are very afraid of an unknown place, but if they can bring their trusted guards, it can also be regarded as giving themselves courage. Moreover, Vietnam has just been occupied. According to the letters sent by the court, they also know that the local area is not peaceful, and it is even more chaotic than the Western Regions. Therefore, General Moran also wants to bring his guards over, at least their lives are safe.
"General, rest assured about this. The letter from His Highness said that the general can bring 2,000 people with him. The general can bring whoever he wants with him. The general can choose anyone in the Western Regions military camp, and even those in Chang'an City. Everything is based on the general's opinion." After hearing this, Xiao Shougui hurriedly gave General Molun a guarantee. In fact, this was also Li Xiang's intention, because he was afraid that General Molun would have other ideas, such as killing the donkey after it has done its job, so he allowed him to bring 2,000 people with him, and you can choose the quota of these 2,000 people at will, and the court will not care about you. This matter is beyond a certain scope. You must know that when a general goes to another place to take office, at most you can bring one or two hundred personal guards to escort you. If you want to bring more, it is probably unlikely. The court is also afraid of pulling factions. Although factions in the army always exist, the superficial form is still not allowed. Now that General Molun can bring 2,000 people, this is indeed a great favor. "Brother Mo Lun, don't worry. Although it's a little humid in the south, you used to be a general, not a vanguard. The living conditions are much better. Our navy has figured out the route and can transport you back home at any time. If there is anything, write to the brothers. We still have some ways in the south." Cheng Chuliang said a little embarrassedly. When General Mo Lun was excluded, they couldn't stand up and say anything. Although several young generals who took the lead were punished, there were too many young people from Chang'an City. If you punish this one, there will be another one. If you punish them one by one, when you return to Chang'an City, half of the street will probably be your enemies. Everyone will have to live in Chang'an City in the future. "Then I'd like to thank you, brother Cheng. Actually, this is nothing. I've seen clearly that there may not be a good future for me to stay here. I'd better try my luck in Vietnam. If I can help Lord Changsun manage the local area, then my life will be worth it. What's more, I have never been there. If it weren't for the blessing of Your Highness, I would never be able to go there in my life." Although General Moran said it easily, everyone present could see that this guy still couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. After all, this is the place he fought for, and he is also a meritorious official of the Tang Dynasty. If he can stay, of course he still hopes to stay. However, he also understood that Li Xiang had said one thing before, that is, generals in the army must serve in other places. General Moron didn't quite understand this before, but now he understands it. If he wants to stay here, unless the people present can't handle the battlefield, then he can come back to lead the troops. But looking at these tiger-like generals, it seems that there are few things in this world, let alone the Western Regions, that can stop them. These guys want to fight at the slightest disagreement. They are the real elites of the Tang Dynasty.
General Moron never drinks much, but he got drunk that night. When he was carried back to the tent by his own people, everyone felt bad. Although the court wanted to make the children of the noble families obedient, it could not eliminate their influence in the short term.
What's more, the few people present are also descendants of aristocratic families. They are just lucky enough to follow Li Xiang. Otherwise, they would also be thorns in various places. Now they all hate their identities a little. They are from Chang'an City. Those gangsters, after General Molun leaves, I have to train you well and teach you to cause trouble for me.
At dawn the next day, Xiao Shougui was about to go over and take a look. Who knew that General Mo Lun had left overnight, and also left a letter with a list of two thousand people, in addition to General Mo Lun's own four hundred and five people? Apart from the ten people, no one else was brought along.
Everyone can see clearly that he is a very measured person. These 450 people are his bodyguards. Of course he must take them with him. Besides, he will not take anyone else with him because he does not want the court to be suspicious... …(End of chapter)
