Lu Dabao was very depressed, very aggrieved, and very annoying, and always had an impulse to tear off the dragon robe on his body, tear it to pieces, step on it a few times, and then lead his wife and children back to his Lujiazhuang to farm. Although that kind of life is a little harder, you have to sow seeds under the scorching sun, step on muddy water to weed, and there is a smell of sweat on your body after a busy day, but it is simple and peaceful, and there is no trouble.

Look at the present, although the food is good, the life is good, the life is worry-free, and respected, everywhere you go, you are kneeling and worshipping like a god, but there is no damn day when it stops, there will always be one bad thing or another, and the spirit is about to collapse!

No, in the early dynasty, he wanted to issue an edict to promulgate the "Seven Sages Order", to the generalissimo Guo, Ouyang Dajun and the "Five Tiger Generals" seven newly recruited capable ministers, fully demonstrating his love for the emperor, the result is good, there is a lot of opposition, and he fucking said that he is unfair, listens to slander, misleads the country and creates evil, and even a few old bastards scolded him for being the king of absurdity, where the hell is this!

"Hey, what's the matter, what the hell!" slammed the prepared holy decree on the table, and Lu Dabao angrily turned around in the imperial study with his hands behind his back.

The emperor was angry. Ouyang Xi saw Lu Dabao with his head down, his waist bent, his buttocks and his hands behind his back, and he circled around the house like a donkey, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Stop being angry, are you fucking angry? These **** bastards, who don't have the ability to do things but occupy the pit and don't shit, and now they are talking about cool things, my mother's stomach hurts!" Lu Dabao stopped when he heard this, and yelled at him indignantly.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, your love for talent and the ministers empathize, however, since the time of investment in Shu, the ministers have not made an inch, but they have been added to the rank of official and knighted before the old ministers who have followed you for a long time, and the indignation of the ministers should also be. Ouyang Xi smiled faintly, staggered a few steps away from Lu Dabao, walked to the window, put on an unfathomable and chic appearance, and said slowly.

He must keep a certain distance from Lu Dabao, especially when he is angry, otherwise the buddy's foaming stars will splash on his face like a goddess scattering flowers, a large area, high-density, and a heavy garlic smell will be left after washing it three or four times, which is really unbearable.

"Ahh

"Well, Your Majesty, you, please sit down first, and wait for the ministers to come to you slowly. "Ouyang Yi didn't expect Lu Dabao to follow him, under normal circumstances, it should be a traitor who follows the emperor, it's easy to make a sycophant, but now it's good, there is a super big backlash, and the emperor has done the work of a traitor......

"Ah, I don't sit, I don't sit, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'm dying!" Lu Dabao doesn't know how to put on music, although he has posed a few times under Li Liang's oppression in the past, but the effect is average, and he has suffered a lot of crimes, so slowly he began to resist the music, not to mention that now these people in the house are his "henchmen", so there is no need to put on music, what to say, how happy?

"Your Majesty, since you said so, the minister is not hiding it, and the minister will offer three good strategies to help my lord get out of the predicament and stabilize the country. Ouyang Xi sighed deeply, shook his sleeves, took out three scrolls from them, and then respectfully presented them to Lu Dabao.

At the same time, he lowered his head and lowered his head as much as possible, trying his best to keep his face out of the range that Lu Dabao's mouth could spray, and began to pray in his heart, "Don't get excited, spray pockmarks on your face, spray fleas on your head, it's terrible to spray anywhere......"

"Good strategy, three more ways, my mother-in-law, what do you say is your head, why are you so good?" Lu Dabao took the scroll excitedly and said tremblingly.

As soon as Lu Dabao's words came out, the rest of the people present were all happy, including Guo Xiaotian, who never smiled, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. From ancient times to the present, the emperor has praised his courtiers for their ability to use a lot of rhetoric, but there are not many people like Lu Dabao who are so straightforward, and Ouyang Xi, who praised him, was about to cry, so he almost went up to give him two big ear scrapers.

"What are you happy about? Did I say something wrong?" Everyone was happy, Lu Dabao was a little flustered, what do you mean? Dude told the truth, why did they laugh? Could it be that buddy said the wrong thing again?

"No, the emperor's open-mindedness is a blessing for ministers, why are you wrong?" Ordered by the great demon god "Chi You", Ouyang Xi's mentality has already been adjusted quite strongly, not to mention such an unpleasant praise, even if he scolds his ancestors, he will treat it calmly, but he is really a little inaccurate about such a "peasant emperor", and he doesn't know when his buddy will pop out a few "hard words", so that he can't get off the stage.

"Ah, what do you mean? Could it be that I, what did I really say wrong?" Lu Dabao was even more panicked, and said that cultural people are not easy to deal with, but isn't it, just said a few words, and the fuck made a mistake......

"Your Majesty, the three strategies offered by the ministers are divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower, which are progressive and interlocking, which can calm the emotions of the ministers and stabilize the country. "Ouyang Xi didn't plan to continue to dwell on such a trivial matter, otherwise if he really talked about it, it was estimated that he would have to talk about it for a few years, until Lu Dabao's cultural cultivation was raised to a very high level, otherwise, there would be something to say!

"Let's talk about it, talk about it in detail!" Lu Dabao also understood that this was the point, so he said with round eyes.

"Obey the order! The minister's best strategy is to divide the troops and take the small ones, and add beams to make up for the pillars. At the beginning of the establishment of the state of Shu, the country was weak, and there were only some gold and silver treasures in the treasury, no grain and grass, and no burden for the establishment of the country. Therefore, the ministers have the courage to offer advice, can build a ten-way crusade army, select elite soldiers and strong generals, and rob the baggage and population of the enemy's villages and county towns around the valley ......" With Lu Dabao's permission, Ouyang Xi began to talk endlessly, but he didn't think that this talk would take more than half an hour before he finished talking about the strategy.

"That, what do you mean, do you mean to send the Ten Roads Army out to rob, right?" Ouyang Xi said Wen Xuan, Lu Dabao was stunned to hear it, and after talking over there for a while, Lu Dabao asked tentatively.

"Exactly. Ouyang Xi was very depressed, last night's night shift was added in vain, and he didn't use the old "hard words" when he compiled them, and he almost confused the emperor, not only was it useless, but he also had it, what is it called!

"Why do you want to send ten route generals?" Guo Xiaotian had been listening to the conversation between the two silently, and he was weighing it repeatedly in his heart, and after Ouyang Yi answered clearly, he immediately asked.

He is not Lu Dabao, he only has half a bottle of stolen ink in his stomach, and as a top assassin, cultural knowledge is also a must, so he immediately discovered the key to the best strategy.

"Hehe, with the strength of my Shu country, it is difficult to take the big city directly, uh, to put it simply, with our current strength, we can only fight some small villages and towns, and we can't fight big cities. Ouyang Xi smiled faintly, and then opened his mouth to explain the essence of the proposed strategy, but his eyes swept and saw that Lu Dabao's two eyebrows were squeezed together, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said.

"Ah? You can only fight some small villages and towns? Can't we? Don't we have an army of 50,000?" Lu Dabao understood these words very happily, but he understood them, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, and finally he had soldiers and horses in his hands, why did he still have to do the work of bandits, so he immediately asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, the beginning of the establishment of the Shu Kingdom, the people are less than 100,000, but there are 50,000 soldiers, two people want to raise a soldier, if it is really a hard fight, I am afraid it will be difficult to last, although victory can solve the crisis, but also bury the contradictions, but if it is defeated, it will destroy the country!" Ouyang Yi arched his hand and explained unhurriedly.

Hearing that the country would die, Lu Dabao was taken aback, he had not been the emperor for a few days, and it was over before he could enjoy it, and his anxious mood was self-evident, so he asked again in a panic: "Then what should I do?" Military advisor, military advisor, you have to think of a move, I can point to you!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister has already offered a good plan, as long as you act according to the plan, there will be no ruin of the country. Seeing his play, Ouyang Xi was angry and funny, playing scoundrels in the chamber hall of the Da Nei Palace, this peasant emperor really has a fucking personality. However, you can't say this, you can only despise it a little in your heart, after all, he is now the master, isn't it?

"Ahh What, I know about fighting small villages and towns, what is it called, to feed the war with war, yes, it is to feed the war with war, Lao Gan told me. However, why do you have to divide the troops into ten routes?" Lu Dabao was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and then said with a blink.

If Lu Dabao really didn't know the meaning of "dividing the troops", Ouyang Xi despised it in his heart at most, but this bastard actually knew, and he also said the policy of "fighting to support war", which was obviously pretending to be confused, which really made Ouyang Xi's stomach burn with resentment, and he wanted to go up and give him two big slaps.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that the old ministers are not convinced, but you are too fond of the foreign ministers, high-ranking officials, mansion slaves, gold and silver wealth, silk cloth, all kinds of preferential treatment and the hard work of the ministers are very different, and the ministers oppose it as a matter of course. Ouyang Xi licked his lips and said lightly.

"This group of bastards, they don't have the ability to do anything, and they can't fucking see others well, they really want to kick the girl to death!" Lu Dabao stomped his feet and scolded resentfully.

"The emperor is angry, the reason why the minister suggested that you send the Ten Roads Army is for two purposes. First, the ten roads are out together, there are victories and losses, so as to judge the merits, and to reward them, not only can select the wise and brave commanders, but also can experience the training of soldiers. Second, attacking small villages and towns with too many troops, the gains outweigh the losses, and the use of too few troops is afraid that it will be difficult to overcome, 5,000 soldiers and horses are really excellent, and come and go freely, do not need to take too much into account, even if they encounter the main force of the enemy, they can retreat with their whole body. Ouyang Xi shook his head and chuckled twice, and then said solemnly.

"Hey, I see!" Lu Dabao's eyes widened when he heard this, his mouth opened wide, and he stared at him like a ghost for a while before saying.

However, after saying this, the old boy wrinkled his brows and thought for a moment, and then said: "Hey, I said that the military advisor, this plan you are thinking, uh, a good strategy, this good strategy you think of, is it considered to be a good strategy to tease the masses and fight the masses? Why do I think it is quite similar to the mass line movement that Lao Gan said?"

Standing on the ground, stupidly looking at the three rows of people standing by the rice field, Li Liang's head seemed to have been poured with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other seasonings, and he had a grotesque feeling of speaking.

Okay, the four girls are in front, Nansheng and Tianma are in the middle, and Silly Niu'er and Dong Bamboo Shoots are in the back, all dressed simply, and with their heads raised, their chests straight, their hands holding sickles and hoes, their eyes are firm and resolute, if they replace the guys in their hands with explosives bags and get a jar of wine, it will be exactly the same as seeing off the daredevils.

Li Liang really didn't expect such a scene, he just tore his face the day before yesterday, and the faces of several aunts and uncles were about to hit the top of their feet, and after only one day, they suddenly changed, and the legendary child's face was just like that, right? Even if it's a joke, it doesn't bring such a fool!

"You guys, what are you doing here?" Li Liang asked tentatively after taking a few steps closer and circling around the neat "queue" twice.

"Farming with you!" Jasmine said as she glanced sideways at the few people next to her, then swallowed.

"Farming, are you sure you want to farm with me, not cut people?" Li Liang turned his head to look at the smiling winter bamboo shoots in the back row, and then glanced at the rest of the people whose eyes were rolling and continued to ask.

"Sure!" Jasmine replied, gritting her teeth.

"It's not quite like it! Just the momentum, the shape, and the eyes of the few of you, it looks like you're fighting with some kind of bastard who doesn't open your eyes!" Li Liang straightened his neck and tilted his head to look left and right, and only said after a while.

"I've given you some face, haven't you?" As soon as Li Liang's words fell, Jasmine immediately changed her face and said to him with angry eyes.

"Heh, hehe, look, are you still going to fight?" Seeing Jasmine turn her face, Li Liang smiled sadly, then turned around and slowly walked to the field, ready to do farm work, and muttered softly.

"You, what do you mean?" saw this, and Mint was furious. A few of them are high-ranking "immortals", not to mention ordinary mortals, they are cultivators, and if their cultivation is too low, they have to kowtow religiously when they see it, but when they come to Li Liang, "the immortals become ****", it is obvious that the old boy provoked trouble and rebelled, and a few of them gave enough face, and they didn't appreciate it, what is this called!

"Meaning, if you really want to follow me, then you have to follow my pace, not to play flowers. Li Liang turned around and said unhurriedly.

"You, you mean ......" Furong reacted quickly, and as soon as Li Liang finished speaking, she immediately spoke.

"I mean, I don't care about the past, but in the future, I must do what I want, and then I will get Lao Tzu a script for Lao Tzu to play, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless! You know what I mean by this, I don't care what kind of awesome people your masters are, and no matter what promises you have made to your masters, my life must be my decision, otherwise, don't talk about it!" Li Liang turned around and stared at everyone and said solemnly.

"Okay, I promise you!" Jasmine replied very simply, and the rest of them were a little hesitant in comparison, but they also agreed one after another.

"Hehe, you don't have to agree so happily, let's ask your master first. That's it for today, you go back to discuss with your masters, and then give me an accurate answer in seven days. As for Silly Niu'er and Winter Bamboo Shoots, how did you two choose?" Li Liang pursed his lips and said with a smile.

"I'll follow you!"

"Slave, slave and maid, let's follow you......"

The stupid cow decided quickly, and decided with a little sum in his heart, while Dong Zhu looked left and right, hesitated for a while and replied in a low voice.

To tell the truth, the stupid cow would agree to Li Liang's expectations, but Dong Zhu's promise was somewhat unexpected, but seeing Jasmine and the others' not too subtle hints, the possibility of the little girl daring to say no was very small, although there were 10,000 unwillingness in her heart, but she could only say yes, unless she didn't want to live.

"Well, then come on, this morning's task is to catch insects......" Li Liang nodded lightly and said softly.

"Catch insects, what kind of insects, how to catch them?" Silly Niu'er pulled up his trouser legs, strode up to Li Liang, and asked in a rough voice.

"Of course it's catching pests! Needless to say, you're stupid. As for how to catch it, hehe, do you remember the last time we fought each other, the two tricks I used?" Li Liang quickly took a jar of wine from the "storage bracelet", handed it to him, and said shyly.

"Dragon Claw Hand!" "Silly Niu'er is overjoyed, it seems that the bet is successful, and the old boy really intends to teach him martial arts!"

"Whether it is martial arts or immortal ways, they all come from life, as long as you feel it with your heart and study it with your heart, all the moves and exercises can find the prototype in life, and these are the superior martial arts I told you. Li Liang nodded approvingly.

"Hehe, I didn't quite understand before, why you are always reluctant to practice immortal arts, it turns out that you don't look down on them! Because of life, the last time you fought with me, I came back and pondered for a long time, thinking that the eighteen palms of the dragon descending are the most rigid and fierce palms, and there are very few martial arts in the world that can match them, so why don't you do anything when you fight? Why did you come up with those tricks to crack? Now, I know a little bit about it......" Silly Niu'er said thoughtfully.

"You kid shouldn't be called a stupid cow, you should be called a smart cow. Li Liang patted him lightly on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"What's the trick?" the silly cow smiled innocently, threw the wine jar lightly, and placed it on the ground in a chic manner, and the force was just right, and not a drop of wine spilled out. Then he bowed down and stretched out three fingers to grab a small insect on the rice seedling, but the force seemed to be greater, and he directly crushed the small worm, staining a hand of slimy green pulp.

"It's not about power, it's about speed, accuracy and coordination. Look at the target, steady, accurate, light, continuous use of perseverance, otherwise, not to mention the ten acres of land, I am afraid that you will pinch your hands thin. ”

"Oh, that's it......"

"Look carefully, lift and fall quickly, move your forearms, don't use your fingers, mention it like this, shake it like this, and the insects will go into the basket. This bamboo basket is for you, and all the insects you catch are thrown here, don't throw them everywhere. Also, let me tell you again, there are several kinds of bugs that you don't need to catch......"

Li Liang and Silly Niu'er chatted casually, and at the same time, they were busy, which made the willing winter bamboo shoots a little dumbfounded.

Her pursuits are somewhat the same as those of Silly Niuer, and one of the most important is the pursuit of martial arts. People, there will always be a bit of pursuit, not to mention that she is still an assassin, as long as she hears that she has superior martial arts, her heart is like a kitten tickling, fidgeting, can't understand for a while, always uncomfortable.

It's good now, I think I'm a smart person, and I finally hugged the first thigh of the "Void Heaven Continent" with all my might, but I didn't get any benefits, and it is estimated that I can't get the benefits in my lifetime, after all, compared to my thighs, my own longevity is not a dime.

Look at the stupid cow again, the old boy has the same hard life as himself, but he got the "best Xiannong" adult personally instructed in martial arts, and it is also the best of the best, and he can compete with the eighteen palms of the dragon, so much of a trick! No, you have to hurry up to the affordable thigh, otherwise the cheap will let the stupid cow take advantage of it. "Master, which ridge of worms do slaves catch?"

"Oh, you, it's not suitable to catch insects, go to the licorice pine soil in the medicine garden, remember not to hurt the earthworms in the soil......" Li Liang glanced up at her, pointed at her casually, and said lightly.

"Ah, loosen the soil......" Dong Zhu was a little disappointed, he was a little disappointed, he didn't learn the superior martial arts.

"Hehe, there is a red fruit forest on the edge of the medicine garden, you can observe the appearance of the fallen leaves, there is a set of swordsmanship called 'Luoying Sword Technique' is derived from this, you can experience it first. Li Liang shook his head lightly and said with a smile.

"Really?"

"What are you lying to?"

"Then, when will you teach the slave the 'Luoying Sword Technique'......"

"When you have a sense of falling leaves. ”

"Ah, when was that......"

"All the ground in the medicine garden has been loosened. ”

"Okay, okay, slave and maid will go, let's go!"

"When loosening the soil, don't damage the roots of any herb, otherwise you ......"

"Understood, understood, please rest assured that the slave will never be harmed!"

"Hehe, go ahead. ”
