Daming kill

Chapter 250

Hanchuan County was conquered, and Li Ping's mood took off for a few days. When he returned to Hanyang, he asked Zhao Lanyue to make a meal for him.

Shanxi women are very good at making noodles, and I really want to not eat them some days!

However, Li Ping was in good spirits, but Zhao Lanyue, who was dragged over to cook, had displeasure written all over her face.

But she didn't refuse either.

Regarding this matter, Zhao Lanyue was a little helpless and even annoyed.

Originally, Li Ping didn't know that she could cook.

But everyone knows that people have the deepest memory of the food that accompanied them growing up, and it is difficult to change eating habits just by saying it.And the Ming Dynasty, which was hundreds of years away, was still the best cooks in the south, and it was almost impossible to catch the stomachs of modern northerners.

Although Zhao Lanyue had to cook many times to reminisce after coming to this world, but only she and Gao Lei can enjoy it. She is not interested in serving other people, and she feels it is inappropriate, especially when Gao Lei is not If you can cook.

But all this changed during Li Ping's illness.

In order to take care of Li Ping and cooperate with acting, Zhao Lanyue often needs to go to Li Ping's place, sometimes staying for a long time.

In addition to doing their own things and bickering from time to time, the two are sometimes bored.

As a result, when she was bored, Zhao Lanyue showed her hand, and her intention was mainly to satisfy herself, but Li Ping, who seemed to have discovered a treasure, became addicted all of a sudden, and then began to find various reasons to satisfy her desire of tongue.

However, at that time they would usually bring Gao Lei and Song Baolai with them.

Today, because Gao Lei still stayed in Hanchuan to preside over the treatment of wounded soldiers, and Song Baolai was busy with work and declined the invitation, only Li Ping and Zhao Lanyue, or Li Ping, were the only ones who ate the pills.

Zhao Lanyue came here to cook.

Zhao Lanyue couldn't help laughing when she saw that Li Ping ate a large bowl with a sigh and snorted without regard to his image, and then hurriedly filled the second bowl in the basin.

But just when she started laughing, she seemed to realize something suddenly, and then frowned and said, "Can we learn to pay attention to our image when we eat, so as not to be so rude?"

"It's a pleasure to eat like this!" Li Ping replied nonchalantly, and then continued as usual.

Zhao Lanyue rolled her eyes helplessly, and then pointedly pointed out: "It's not scary to be uneducated, but the scary thing is that you have to take rudeness as your personality! Sister Gao dislikes rudeness the most."

"You have to be gentle to eat noodles, so it's better to suffocate me!" Li Ping lowered his head and continued to gobble it up, but then quickly raised his head and asked in surprise: "Why, Gao Lei thinks I'm uneducated? "

Zhao Lanyue was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I think you are uneducated, hey! It's not. It's just a metaphor."

"Oh."

Li Ping responded calmly with no expression, then continued to be a little dazed for a while, and then lowered his head again to work on the slices in the bowl.

Zhao Lanyue glanced at Li Ping with a dejected expression, was silent for a while, and then asked again: "In Hanchuan, have you gone to find her? You are a man, you have to take the initiative, you two can't stay so stiff .”

Li Ping, who was eating, stopped the chopsticks in his hand, looked down at the bowl and hesitated for a moment, then tried to say calmly: "I didn't look for it on purpose, I saw her once in the wounded barracks and said a few words, other There will be no more. We are both uncomfortable and tired if we force ourselves together, it is best not to interfere with each other."

After finishing speaking, Li Ping continued to work on the film.

Zhao Lanyue's eyes straightened instantly, and she said in shock, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing interesting." Li Ping replied vaguely with his mouth full of food.

"Li Ping, don't eat it first, just make it clear..." Zhao Lanyue said angrily and resolutely.

But this time Li Ping ignored her, and continued to chomp on the slices, and didn't put down his chopsticks until he finished eating the bowl, then wiped his mouth again, and then looked at the angry Zhao Lanyue and said with a smile :
"Some things can't be forced, and the result of forcing may not be good. You see, now that she doesn't bother me, I can appreciate the beauty without worry, isn't it good?"

"Admiring beauties? You came back just to see beauties!" Zhao Lanyue's face turned green, and she subconsciously glanced out the window.

Li Ping shook his head helplessly and said, "Hey! Don't look for it, the beauty is right in front of my eyes."

Zhao Lanyue turned her head and was startled: "Are you kidding me!"

But Li Ping was surprised and said: "Eldest sister, when did you become so sensitive? I can't tell the difference when I tease you, and I said you are a beautiful woman?"

Zhao Lanyue was stunned for a few seconds, and then her face turned red, and her expression became a bit twitchy, and she said, "It's business, why can't you spit ivory out of a dog's mouth!"

Of course Zhao Lanyue knew why Li Ping left the army in Hanchuan and ran back by herself. If it was just to eat her slices, let alone Li Ping couldn't do it, even she would say nothing.

It's just that she didn't think about why she forgot when she was in a hurry just now.

Some things happened on Zhang Xianzhong's side, which had already affected Li Ping's plan. Li Ping returned to Hanyang to inquire about Zhang Xianzhong's situation and think about countermeasures.

"You are blushing, why are you blushing." Li Ping continued to tease, he was becoming more and more unscrupulous toward Zhao Lanyue.

"Be serious! Is this the time to joke?" Zhao Lanyue's anger rose, and her face became cold.

Seeing that Zhao Lanyue's expression was really wrong, Li Ping also knew that he couldn't play anymore, so he straightened his face and said seriously:
"You, don't force yourself to grow old! Gao Lei is a clean person, and she is used to cleanliness, not only in life, but also in thought, and no matter in the past, present or future, you should Knows better than I do.

But I am not.

In the past, I couldn't choose to forget, and I won't forget.Now or in the future, I clearly know that I can't do what she wants.

This is the biggest difference between the two of us, and it is also an irreconcilable difference.

When we got together, she was unhappy, and I was under a lot of pressure. As a result, we were both very tired.Instead of this, it is better not to force it. The result of force can only be worse and more irresponsible.dont you agree? "

Zhao Lanyue was startled by Li Ping's unexpected revelation of her heart, she didn't know what to say for a while.

I want to refute but find that I don't know how to refute, but if I don't refute, something seems wrong.

Zhao Lanyue knew very well that although Li Ping's words were relatively cryptic, they directly hit the fundamental problem of the two of them, and this was what she had long been aware of and was most worried about.

Perhaps Li Ping has long been aware of these problems, that's why he blatantly called Liu Xiaohui back to his side like a fool. That's probably just a statement, and Gao Lei may have already understood, even if she still can't give up completely.

Although I still don't quite understand why Li Ping suddenly decided to break through all this, so that there is no turning back, but Zhao Lanyue can only sigh deeply.

Seeing that Zhao Lanyue was silent, Li Ping gave a wry smile a couple of times. He knew that she was a smart woman, so there was no need to say too much.

Then he yelled outside the house: "Xiaohui, I'm done eating, come here and clean up the dishes."

Li Ping and Zhao Lanyue ate together, and everyone else, not to mention inside the house, even hid outside the inner courtyard tactfully.

Liu Xiaohui, who was dressed in plain clothes, came in very quickly. Under Zhao Lanyue's scrutinizing eyes, she calmly and neatly cleaned up the table.

Before leaving, she whispered: "Director Duan and Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou are here. They have been outside the compound for a while, and they seem to be in a hurry. Liu Qiang stopped them and refused to pass them on."

Li Ping was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Let them in quickly."

When Li Ping returned to Hanyang, except for Shi Lei and Yang Ming, everyone else was left in Hanchuan and pretended to march westward as planned!
Duan Qiang and Zhou Wen came together at this time, and they were still in a hurry. The matter seemed not small.

But until Duan Qiang and Zhou Wen came in with anxious expressions, Zhao Lanyue didn't have any intention of leaving or avoiding, so she continued to sit steadily from the side.

Duan Qiang didn't think much of it, but Zhou Wen looked at Zhao Lanyue in surprise, and then at Li Ping.

But Li Ping just said indifferently: "Sit down and talk." Then he turned his head and confessed to Liu Xiaohui who came in from the side: "Xiaohui, bring me some tea."

Although his face looked anxious, Duan Qiang obediently sat aside first, but Zhou Wen didn't sit down, but stood impatiently and said: "Master Sun was defeated in Nanyang, and the intruders are rapidly approaching Tongguan. "

"I'll go! When did it happen?"

Li Ping's national curse flew out, and Zhao Lanyue's eyes widened in surprise.

"At the end of last month, Sun Dushi and the intruder broke out in a decisive battle in Nanyang. Our army was defeated and retreated hundreds of miles. The intruder chased all the way north and is currently heading straight for Tongguan." Zhou Wen said again in grief.

"Is the news reliable? How do you know?" Li Ping asked Duan Qiang, who was sitting beside him.

"The news should be reliable. It was a small official from Chengtian Mansion who is now a puppet Yangwu Prefecture who asked a fisherman whom he had been kind to to risk his life to send the news to the navy of our army in Mianyang. At about the same time, in Zhang Jianji in Mianyang also received exactly the same news, and Zhang Jianji’s source of information is also a fake official. According to him, some fake officials who were forced to become thieves have been keeping in touch with their government.” Duan Qiang hastily replied.

"Is the supervisor okay?" Li Ping asked anxiously, frowning.

"I haven't heard of this information, the supervisor should be safe, otherwise the thieves will make a big publicity." Zhou Wen rushed to answer firmly.

Li Ping scratched the back of his head somewhat unexpectedly, but immediately said depressedly: "When we fought Hanchuan together, Governor Sun had already lost! Then what's the point of fighting Hanchuan?"

"General soldier, you can't say that. The two battles of Mianyang and Hanchuan at least proved that the intruders were nothing more than that, and also proved that the intruders' troops in Huguang were very empty. The bandit general Bai Wangyuan had only two thousand troops stationed in Chengtian. , The information that the Xiangyang thief army is only [-] should be accurate at present. Even if they have expanded in the past few months, most of the expanded soldiers must be vulnerable." Zhou Wen said with a straight face.

"So what?" Li Ping obviously didn't care about it at all.

"General Soldier, this is very important. This means that if we launch a thunderous offensive now, the bandit army will definitely be difficult to parry. If the rear of the bandit is unstable, they will naturally be unable to let go of their hands and feet when they march north. Therefore, the pressure on Tongguan guarded by Governor Sun It will be greatly alleviated, and the crisis of the imperial court will still be effectively alleviated." Zhou Wenxun induced it, as if he had already prepared a draft.

"It won't work. Even if we take Xiangyang down, Li Zicheng won't turn back. Besides, we won't be able to take Xiangyang down either. Our troops are not strong enough to attack a strong city like Xiangyang." Li Ping refused very simply.

"How do you know if you don't try? Yuan Shilang will definitely support us with all his strength. With our big victory in Hanchuan, he will be able to persuade General Pingze to send troops, and then we will not be fighting alone." Zhou Wen is still full of hope.

"It's useless." Li Ping shook his head resolutely.

He didn't want to explain, and couldn't explain.

Although Li Ping didn't know more historical details, he knew a famous saying in the history of the Ming Dynasty: "The death of Chuanting means the death of Ming Dynasty", so he roughly guessed that Sun Chuanting died during this period.

That's why he asked that question just now.

"General Soldier! The Ming Dynasty is in danger, and we need to work hard, how can we bear to let it go. And if the General Soldier works hard, the imperial court will definitely appreciate your loyalty and bravery, and will give you a big reward. It is not a bad idea to be named a Marquis and General Possibly! Commander-in-Chief, Feng Hou worships the general!" Zhou Wen obviously did not intend to give up easily this time, and in the end he even drew a big pie for Li Ping.

"It's useless. Yuan Shilang is no longer the governor. The new governor is still in Jiujiang, the governor's office, and has no plans to go to Huguang for the time being. Moreover, the new governor has fallen out with Zuo Liangyu just after taking office." Knowing that he is powerless. Li Ping decided to make a detour to avoid Zhou Wen's thoughts.

"What? How...how did this happen?"

Faced with the heavy news from Li Ping, Zhou Wen was really shocked.

And Li Ping did not guess wrong, just two days ago, that is, on the third day of October, Li Zicheng had already captured Tongguan, and Sun Chuanting died in battle.

Notes:

The strength of the Peasant Army defenders in Chengtian and Xiangyang comes from historical facts, not fiction.Gao Yigong and Feng Xiong each led 3000 soldiers in Xiangyang for a long time, and Chengtian had [-] soldiers from Baiwang. However, Zhou Wen deliberately omitted the fact that Ma Shitai (about [-] to [-] troops), the captain of the left camp, was stationed in Xianling.

Of course, as the stationed for a long time, their strength gradually expanded.
