Chapter 270 Eight In-depth Discussion

"If you leave all the surrendered soldiers to me, aren't you afraid that my Yanyun village will become stronger and stronger in the future, so big that even you are not sure that you can control it?"

Li Xian poured Zhang Xutuo a glass of wine and asked with a gentle smile.

Zhang Xutuo glanced at Li Xian, picked up his wine glass and drank it down: "Do you also like those garbage people under Wang Bo? I just want to tell you one thing, if you don't want those soldiers, you will kill them all." Come on, don’t pretend to be some kind of saint and let everyone go, as long as you put those scum back, they will still be bandits, no matter who they follow, they will be the scourge of one party.”

"It's not as bad as you think."

Li Xian smiled and said: "Even if it's [-] piles of dung, if you pick and choose in it, you can always pick out a few gems hidden in the dung, even if you can't pick out a single one, can't I take the [-] piles of dung? Take the big dung to raise crops? You know, I am farming in Dongping County."

He spread his hands and said: "You also know that I am not a saint. I would never do something that is worthless for a copper coin. A saint... is a person like His Majesty the Sui Emperor. I don't have that." Be a saint."

Zhang Xutuo glanced at Li Xian and surprisingly did not refute anything, but sighed and said: "I know you have suffered a little in Liaodong, but your majesty is your majesty after all, even a saint can't do it absolutely. To be fair, it is impossible to satisfy everyone. It is already very difficult to satisfy the majority.”

Li Xian smiled and said, "You are wrong."

"Your Majesty has at least done it, which makes most people dissatisfied."

Zhang Xutuo choked, shook his head and said, "You are speaking out of anger."

Li Xian interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Don't ever tell me that your majesty rules the world and conducts imperial examinations. You are his subject, and it is necessary for you to protect him. I understand this very well. When I joined the army There was a time when I even doubted my initial judgment on His Majesty. Therefore, today we only talk about the aftermath of Dongping County, and don’t talk about the emperor, the government, or even the romance. What I am most interested in now is how to Let the people in Yanyun Village live a good life, and if we take a big step forward, it will only make the people of Dongping County live a better life."

Zhang Xutuo said solemnly: "You can make the people of Dongping County live a good life, that's enough."

He looked at Qin Qiong Luo Shixin who was chatting with Pei Xingyan Xiong Kuohai in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Say something that I shouldn't say as a courtier of the Sui Dynasty. As long as you can manage Dongping County well, I won't look for you." It’s just that you don’t want to be too ambitious, there are some things that people like you can’t participate in.”

"for example……"

Li Xian stretched out his arms and made a gesture of embracing the world, then said, "Chasing the world?"

Seeing that Li Xian understood what he meant, Zhang Xutuo stopped being cryptic, but said bluntly: "You should understand the current situation of the Sui Dynasty. Take a look, those who rebelled on the green forest road will have a good end. ?They are just pawns of the aristocratic family. The Sui Dynasty has decayed. The army is counted, but it’s just a small guy who is testing the waters. When the Sui Dynasty collapses, it will be the real contest between the big men!”

Li Xian smiled and said, "I can understand what you said."

Zhang Xutuo raised his head and looked at the blue sky and said: "The day that dominates the sky is the day and the night is the moon. As for the floating clouds and stars, they are destined to be nothing more than the setting off of the sun and the moon. Those clouds are just like those rebels in the Sui Dynasty. People in the green forest, they can gather a lot of people in a short period of time, just like a large group of dark clouds that can block the sun, it looks magnificent, but in fact, a gust of wind will blow it away. The countless vast stars in the night sky, no matter how bright they are, are just the light of grains of rice, and they can only surrender under the feet of the sun and the moon.”

Li Xian shook his head, showed a bright and clean smile and said: "Perhaps you don't know, the stars of the light of rice grains you mentioned are actually far bigger than you imagined."

He stretched out his hand and waved it in the sky, as if disrupting the overall situation: "Maybe one day there will be chaos every day, and a star that usually looks small will suddenly light up, suppressing the light of the sun and the moon and replacing it."

"The sky will not be chaotic! It will never change!"

Zhang Xutuo said loudly.

Li Xian smiled and said: "The sky will not be chaotic, because your eyes can't see it."

Zhang Xutuo didn't want to argue on such meaningless topics. He looked at Li Xian and said word by word: "I am much older than you, and I have experienced more things than you. If you look at the past and present, where can you achieve great things?" Is there a poor family? Listen to my advice, manage your Dongping County well, no matter who will be in charge of this world in the future, as long as you have soldiers in your hands and the land of Dongping County, you will be reused. People... have to be content."

Li Xian smiled and said: "The biggest advantage of me as a person is contentment. In the past, my greatest ideal was to be able to live in peace and stability, so that I would be content. Now, my greatest ideal is to be in those who wanted to set me up at the beginning. Everyone who died stabbed him with seventeen or eighteen transparent holes, and if I don't die, I will make them die so hard, otherwise...how can I live steadily?"

Zhang Xutuo was stunned, and looked at Li Xianshi with a confused look and even a trace of imperceptible fear.

……

……

The Battle of Sucheng was turbulent and turbulent, but it could barely be regarded as a shock without danger. Wang Bo's 15 army looked imposing, but he was defeated because he had no food and grass and had to attack violently. If he had enough food and grass, it would only take Surround the lodging city with a large army, and within a month, the people of Yanyunzhai who can't defend the city will take the initiative to attack.If it is said that Wang Bo was defeated by Li Xian and Zhang Xutuo, it is better to say that he was defeated by Li Mi from the very beginning.

And Li Mi did not get the situation he expected. He thought that no matter how bad Wang Bo was, it would be no problem to take down one or two counties in Dongping County with the 15 troops. Bo also didn't happen for a while, and then the people from Wagangzhai copied the back of Yanyunzhai, and the situation in these counties was completely chaotic, dragging Zhang Xutuo of Qi County and Yang Yichen from the north of the Yellow River into it. In the water, it is best to urge the imperial court to mobilize the troops of the Eastern Capital to encircle and suppress, then the big thing he wants to plan has already succeeded by five points.

That's right, just as Xu Shiji guessed, Li Mi's scheme is the eastern capital Luoyang.

Before he went to look for Wang Bo, he had gathered several green forest troops, with a total strength of no less than 20.But he was still worried, and Li Mi knew the combat power of the Green Forest troops well. The 20 people seem to be overwhelming, but the imperial court only needs to send a good general to lead 5 horses to stop or even defeat them.But now most of the famous generals in the imperial court followed the confused emperor Yang Guang to Liaodong to conquer Goguryeo for the third time. Except for Zhang Xutuo, Yang Yichen and others who were quite afraid of him, he had no worries.

According to his idea, as long as he messes up the situation and entangles Yang Yichen Zhang Xutuo, he can easily win the Eastern Capital, and as long as he wins the Eastern Capital, he only needs to ascend the heights in Luoyang under the name of Li Mi. Worried about no one coming to vote?Most of the aristocratic families who are still watching now will probably send people to serve themselves.

Planting sycamore trees, still worried about not attracting phoenix birds?

It can be said that more than half of Li Mi's plot has been successful.

Outside Leize County, Dongping County, more than 3 people in Wagang Village are busy building a camp.And the four barracks blocked the four gates of Lei Ze, and the troops of Wagang Village almost surrounded a small Lei Ze county town, waiting for Zhai Rang, the leader, to give an order to attack the city.

Outside the camp of the Wagangzhai army, rangers galloped back and forth constantly.The soldiers in the camp were busy setting up tents, and the soldiers of the law enforcement team were patrolling back and forth with simple knives.

Because of Cheng Zhijie's absence, Shan Xiongxin was temporarily the leader of the cavalry in Wagangzhai.

Shan Xiongxin has a very high status in the Jianghu. When he and Zhai Rang joined forces, he relied on his appeal and attracted countless heroes from the Jianghu to join him. In Wagang Village, his status is second only to Zhai let.This person is about 1.6 meters tall, black and short, but as strong as a cow.And his ordinary appearance looks like an ordinary farmer, who is inconspicuous, the kind of person who will not attract special attention even if he is put in the crowd.

But this person's ability should not be underestimated. With a big iron gun, even Cheng Zhijie is slightly inferior to him. The two of them usually fight each other. It is not easy for Cheng Zhijie to win once or twice out of ten times. .His somewhat short and fat figure, riding a tall horse would inevitably look a little funny, but everyone in Wagang Village knew that if he really wanted to fight on the battlefield, this funny man would turn into a ghost.

Now the one who is fighting outside the city of Lei Ze County is Shan Xiongxin, the second head of Wagang Village.

He only brought three to five hundred cavalry, galloping provocatively outside the gate of Lei Ze County. From time to time, the elite cavalry from Wagang Village would whistle loudly at the defenders of Yanyun Village on the city wall, and then everyone burst into laughter .Shan Xiong sent his cavalry to ridicule the defenders of Yanyunzhai loudly, trying to draw the people in the city out to fight.It's just that the soldiers of Yanyun Village just stood on the city wall like logs, turning a blind eye to their provocation outside the city.

……

……

After Shan Xiongxin returned to the Wagangzhai military camp, he took off his helmet and threw it out casually. A soldier quickly caught the helmet with both hands and followed Shan Xiongxin into the camp.

"His grandma's!"

Xiongxin, the big bill who just entered Zhai Rang, cursed: "Those people in Yanyun Village are really all turtle bastards? I'm hoarse from shouting outside the city, but the people on the city wall are like fucking wood. exceedingly
