Chapter 430 The Second General Likes Quiet

He brought only four or five entourages, and it was Changsun Wuji who came to Dongping County pretending to be ordinary people. The last time he came to Dongping County, it happened that Li Xian defeated Wagang Village.That time he was worried that the road would be unsafe, so he brought more than a thousand fine riders with him.And this time when Changsun Wuji came, it happened that Li Xian had not had many days to defeat Wagangzhai.Only this time, there were only four or five people around him.

It's not that Changsun Wuji has become more courageous, nor is it that his character is more mature than before, but that the current situation of Da Sui has changed greatly, from chaos to chaos with order.

When Changsun Wuji came to Dongping County last time, he would not feel at ease wherever he went without a thousand cavalry. There were robbers and rebels everywhere, not to mention riding on the road. Even if you ride a pig, you will be snatched away.In order to develop, the rebels from all walks of life are constantly plundering and destroying. Wherever they pass, they are like locusts crossing the border, and there is not a single grass left.If the rebellion were to be divided into several stages, the last time Changsun Wuji came was the first stage, plunder and destruction.

In order to expand the army and rob food, grass and money, all kinds of rebels are wantonly destroying the social order. Things that can be solved by violence will never be solved by gentle means.Like wolves, they tore up everything they could eat.Ten villages and nine empties, fertile land abandoned, common people either follow the thieves or be killed, this is the biggest achievement of this stage.

But now it is different. It has reached the second stage of the rebellion. The big waves wash away the sand. The smaller rebels are either slaughtered by the official army or annexed by the powerful rebel army. The current rebel army is extremely powerful and occupies A large area of ​​territory was divided into its own territory, so the rebel army became a rebel army, and they farmed to support the people and protect their own territory.

The area controlled by the rebel army is more peaceful than the area controlled by the imperial court.Don't worry about those little thieves who rob and kill, because they have either been wiped out, or they have changed from looters to law enforcement.The leaders of the rebel army will never allow people to do evil in their own territory, so the road has become safe.

This is why Changsun Wuji dared to go on the road with a few entourages. The leaders of the various rebels have already regarded the occupied territory as their own private property and will not destroy it anymore.

He watched with great interest the areas under the rule of various rebels. Basically, the people have almost returned to normal life.They paid taxes to the rebels, those who farmed the fields, and those who did business did business, and the social order became morbidly stable.The disruptors become the keepers of order because they don't want to be eliminated.

This made Changsun Wuji quite emotional. His trip was not simply to see Li Xian.Instead, following the order of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, he surveyed the strength of the various rebels along the way.So he made a long detour from Taiyuan to Juyeze in Dongping County.He set off three months ago, and he walked and watched all the way.

After arriving in Dongping County, he was most impressed by Hebei Dou Jiande and Henan Li Xian.

The lives of the people in these two places are the most peaceful and prosperous. Although it may not be as good as it was in the early years of Daye, in such troubled times, it is not easy for the people to have enough food, warm clothes and surplus food and money.Even under the rule of Tang Gong in Hedong, the life of the people seems to be slightly worse than that of these two places.

Changsun Wuji walked and thought all the way, and finally figured out one thing.The fundamental reason why Duke Tang's rule is not as peaceful and peaceful as under the rebel army is that although Duke Tang has the intention to raise troops, he is still a court official. Some things are deeply ingrained and difficult to change, but the rebel army is different. , as long as it can develop and stabilize, the leader of the rebel army has no scruples.

But Mr. Tang had to worry too much, so he was not as thorough as the leader of the rebel army.

Along the way, Changsun Wuji understood many things.

The reason why he admired Dou Jiande and Li Xian, but dismissed the most powerful Wagangzhai, was that Wagangzhai's people's governance was extremely poor, and they only cared about expanding their territory and army, and the lives of the people remained the same. hardship.Its strength is entirely because of Li Mi, because this person is recognized by many people as the real man.

No matter how strong the army is, if the governance of the people is not good, that is to say, there is no foundation, and sooner or later there will be a day of collapse.Therefore, Changsun Wuji didn't think that Li Mi, who was boasted and admired by the world, was a monarch who could rule the world at all.Compared with Tang Gong, Li Mi's difference is not a tiny bit.

Changsun Wuji crossed Hebei from Dongjun, and went around a big circle to see Dou Jiande's site.Then he came to a conclusion that Li Mi was not even as good as Dou Jiande.

The things recorded along the way are all preparations for Tang Gong's army in the future.

When it came to Juyeze, Dongping County, the final destination, Changsun Wuji also put away the trace of burnout in his heart.Because he knew that what he was going to do and who he was going to meet might affect his whole life.

After arriving in Dongping County, he remembered more carefully.Everything under Li Xian's rule in Yanyunzhai was engraved in his heart.

When he arrived at Juye Ze for the second time, he suddenly felt panic for no reason.This feeling made him very uneasy, because he didn't know what he was afraid of.Is he afraid of Li Xian, or is he afraid that Li Xian will affect his future?This unpredictability and uncontrollability of the future made him feel very uneasy.

……

……

The eldest grandson Wuji who was sitting in the carriage never rested. He looked out of the window, as if he wanted to see the scenery and people's sentiments along the way clearly. Looking at the large and neat green wheat seedlings on both sides of the official road, the eldest grandson entered the country. There was even a trace of jealousy and envy in my heart.

This large area of ​​grain, when the wheat matures next summer, how many granaries will be filled?How many people and how many troops will be able to feed?

Just as he was feeling emotional, he suddenly heard someone blocking him in front of him.There are countless checkpoints along the way, and Changsun Wuji is used to it. He probed out and looked out, but the team blocking the way in front aroused his curiosity.

The defenders at the checkpoints along the way are quite elite, which has already made Changsun Wuji look at Li Xian with admiration.But although the team blocking the way was small in number, everyone was definitely an elite soldier. The murderous aura on them was so strong that it could hardly be dispelled. Everyone was very strong and exuded a cold aura.You must know that the soldiers of Yanyunzhai are proud to enter the Iron Buddha and the Blood Cavalry, because this is the general's personal guard camp, which is a symbol of honor.

They all knew the legend of the Iron Buddha and the Blood Cavalry.

So they are proud.

What made Changsun Wuji even more curious was the black carriage.

Who is it that can have such a guard?

So Changsun Wuji got out of the car immediately, and then answered Fu Hunu's question loudly.

Fu Hunu came over and looked at Changsun Wuji, then smiled and clasped his fists and said, "The honored guest is far away, and the offended is still looking at Haihan. It's just that this place is too close to our village, so we have to inquire carefully."

"I understand."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Yanyunzhai has strong soldiers and horses, and strict military discipline. It's a well-deserved reputation."

"My lord, grandson, you are welcome."

Fu Hunu smiled and said: "I will send someone to escort you into the village. I still have a military order, so I can't go back with you. I hope you will not be offended."

"fine"

Changsun Wuji waved his hands and asked, "Is General Li in the cottage?"

"I don't know"

Fu Hunu said solemnly: "The lord was still in the village when I came out, but the lord is too busy, so I don't know if he will still be in the village or not. The eldest grandson will naturally know when he enters the village."

"Is the leader of Yanyun Village in the carriage?"

Changsun Wuji cupped his fists and said, "You're taking the liberty, could you introduce me?"

"Uh……"

Fu Hunu was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard someone behind him say softly, "Is this the grandson of the famous man under Duke Tang? I am an idler under General Li of Yanyun Village. My surname is Xu and my name is Shiji." , whose name is Maogong. I have admired the name of the eldest grandson for a long time, and I am lucky to meet you today."

Li Xian got off the carriage and said without blushing.

"You are the famous Xu Shiji?"

Changsun Wuji was pleasantly surprised: "I finally got to see you today. It's a pleasure to meet you! Isn't the general in Qijun? Why did you go back to Juyeze?"

"The eldest grandson's news is well-informed."

Li Xian smiled and said: "Come back and report to my lord the situation in Qi County and Lu County, and I am in a hurry to go back. I have military affairs, so please forgive me for not being able to stay for long."

……

……

"Stay here for a while, General."

Changsun Wuji clasped his fists and said, "May I ask, General Li, the leader of Yanyun Village, is in the village? I came from Taiyuan in Hedong, and I came here to pay a visit to General Li at the order of Duke Tang."

"The lord is in the stronghold, the eldest grandson can go up the mountain."

"Thank you, General."

Changsun Wuji sincerely thanked him: "To tell you the truth, I came to Juyeze once more than a year ago. It was just a coincidence. At that time, General Li went to Saibei and made a great reputation. I waited in Juyeze for more than a month. , I couldn’t wait for General Li to return. This time, I can finally see General Li again, which is a regret in my heart.”

"I missed it last time. I also heard from the lord. The lord also said that it is a pity. This time, the eldest grandson will stay in Juyeze for a longer time."

Li Xian thought for a while and said, "By the way, my lord likes to be quiet the most, so I purposely built a hut in the cottage to live alone. When I have no business, my lord will read and write alone there. If you want to come here at this time, you can enter Zeze." After that, you can go directly to him, and I will arrange someone to guide you."

"Thank you!"

Changsun Wuji sighed, "Unexpectedly, General Li is still a Confucian general."

"It's just that it's quiet there."

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Sun Si
