Lu Xiaoxian didn't answer Di Renjie's question, but suddenly asked, "Old Di Ge, do you remember the restaurant we ran in Longmen Mountain back then?" ”

Di Renjie was puzzled, but still replied: "What Lu Gongzi said is the autumn wind breaking!" Of course I remember! ”

Lu Xiaoxian sighed and said, "Elder Di Ge, to be honest, I really miss that time. Although Longmen Mountain is outside the city and inaccessible, the air there is fresh and the vision is broad, even if you shout at the throat when you are in a bad mood, no one will pay attention to you, how good! It's like this Luoyang City, so crowded, crowded with people everywhere, it's very annoying! ”

Lu Xiaoxian's brainless words made Di Renjie a little dazed.

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately became cheerful in his heart, and echoed with a smile: "What Lu Gongzi said is right, I also think that Longmen Mountain is a good place, very quiet, much stronger than that in Luoyang City!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's gaze collided with Di Renjie: "Is Di Ge in the mood to revisit his old place?" ”

Di Renjie replied tacitly: "Of course I'm in the mood!" ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, so let's set off now, how about it?" The corners of Lu Xiaoxian's mouth turned up slightly.

"Good! Let's go! Di Renjie agreed very cooperatively.

"Oops!" Ji Ji on the side was confused, and hurriedly said, "Old Di Ge, we haven't finished our business yet, why are we going to Longmen Mountain again all of a sudden?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Di Renjie with an inquiring eye.

Di Renjie nodded at Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian knew that Ji Ji had courage and scheming, although he acted domineeringly and attacked some colleagues who disagreed with politics, but he was extremely protective of the Li royal family.

Since Di Renjie didn't object, he didn't have any opinion.

Di Renjie spit out a few words in Ji Yan's ear: "Be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

Ji Ji suddenly realized that the two of them had been fighting dumb riddles for a long time, and it was for this.

Wu Zetian's Tianji Pavilion is pervasive, and it is difficult to ensure that Di Mansion has not been inserted. They were talking about topics that His Majesty was taboo about, and if they were to discuss it with such fanfare, wouldn't it lead to death.

Ji Ji has to admire, this young man is old and old, it is really not simple.

In just a few moments, Ji Ji had a new understanding of Lu Xiaoxian.

The three of them walked out of the hall, and Di Guangyuan was already waiting in the courtyard.

"Father, are you going out?" Di Guangyuan asked cautiously.

"That's right, you're ready to prepare, we're going to Longmen Mountain now!" Di Renjie nodded.

Listening to Di Renjie's answer, a trace of bitterness flashed on Di Guangyuan's face: It seems that Lu Xiaoxian is not blaming himself.

Di Guangyuan still didn't give up, and asked again: "But go to the old site where the autumn wind was broken?" ”

"Exactly!" Di Renjie asked strangely, "How do you know?" ”

At this time, Di Guangyuan was completely dead, and he couldn't help but complain: "Father, do you think about it again, why do you have to open a store if you don't do it?" Even if you don't want to be an official anymore, isn't it good to be idle at home? ”

Di Renjie frowned and reprimanded Di Guangyuan: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Di Guangyuan looked aggrieved and muttered: "You want to resign as prime minister and reopen the autumn wind, I just think it's a little inappropriate!" ”

Di Renjie's head was full of black lines, and he glared at Di Guangyuan angrily:

"What kind of store, what kind of thing, who do you listen to?"

Lu Xiaoxian finally couldn't help it and laughed on the side.

In an instant, Di Guangyuan knew that he had been tricked by Lu Xiaoxian, and immediately jumped up: "Lu Xiaoxian, you bastard, you scold me again!" ”

How could Lu Xiaoxian give Di Guangyuan a chance to take revenge, and the person had already slipped out of the door.

Di Guangyuan couldn't take care of Di Renjie anymore, so he chased him out without reluctance.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Di Renjie sighed and said, "Alas! It's good to be young! ”

"Yes!" Ji Ji nodded, "If we were twenty years younger, I think we could still do a lot of great things!" ”

……

In front of a clearing halfway up Longmen Mountain, three people stood there.

It was here that Di Renjie and Lu Xiaoxian managed "Autumn Wind Break" decently. Time has passed, and now Qiu Fengpo has moved into Luoyang City, and this place has been abandoned.

Di Renjie shook his head, as if he wanted to forget all his past memories.

"Master Lu, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly!" Di Renjie finally got down to business.

Lu Xiaoxian, who was looking from afar, did not look back, as if talking to himself: "There are three things I want to say now!" ”

Di Renjie didn't speak, but his expression was solemn, he knew that what Lu Xiaoxian said must be extraordinary.

Sure enough, Lu Xiaoxian's first sentence surprised Di Renjie: "Although the counterinsurgency army has not yet set off, you must prepare in advance, this battle will definitely be defeated!" ”

"How is that possible!" Ji Ji blurted out exclaimed.

"How could it be!" Lu Xiaoxian turned his head to look at Ji Xuan, "There is nothing impossible in this matter!" ”

Yoshigami opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Yes, since it is a war, how can it be won.

"Elder Di Ge, do you believe it?" Lu Xiaoxian turned his head to look at Di Renjie again.

"I believe it!" Di Renjie replied without hesitation.

Ji Ji didn't expect Di Renjie to believe Lu Xiaoxian's judgment, and couldn't help but ask, "Old Di Ge, why?" ”

"No why!" Di Renjie said in a heartfelt manner, "Because until now, I haven't seen Lu Gongzi's judgment wrong!" So, I trust the judgment he made! ”

Jie was speechless.

Is that also the reason?

That's too far-fetched!

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Ji Ji and smiled: "I know, if you don't give Ji Zaifu a reasonable reason, you will definitely not believe it!" Is it? ”

Ji Ji nodded busily.

"Oh well! I'll give you the reasons for this! Lu Xiaoxian didn't drag the mud and water this time, and said directly: "First, although the Khitan Department is not large, all the people are soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. It is no exaggeration to say that with the same number of troops, the Turks and Tibetans are not as good as the Khitan! ”

The biggest border trouble of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the Tibetan and Turkic regions, and over the years, the Great Zhou army has always been disgraced against the Tibetan and Turkic forces, and has rarely won victories. Since the Khitan combat effectiveness is so strong, it will definitely be difficult to deal with.

"Second, neither the court nor the army of the Great Zhou took the Khitan in their eyes, thinking that as long as the army came out of the Khitan, it would be defeated. If you are so arrogant, you will not be able to win. ”

Ji Ji couldn't help blushing a little, if it wasn't for Lu Xiaoxian mentioning it today, he would have always thought that Da Zhou would win. Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the arrogant people that Lu Xiaoxian said should be, be

However, it also includes himself.

"Third, an edict of twenty-eight generals is unheard of. Perhaps His Majesty is trying to check and balance each other, but the generals are not subordinate to each other, so the prospect of this expedition is only not good! ”

Lu Xiaoxian dared to say this, Wu Zetian's thoughts Di Shijie and Ji Ji knew it, but they didn't dare to persuade at all, which was taboo.

"Fourth, if it is just a check and balance between generals. If the Wu-Li dispute is involved again, the situation will be even worse. This expedition was commanded by King Wu Sansi of Liang, if the generals who were interested in Li Tang did not want Wu Sansi to make such a great contribution, what would happen? ”

Di Renjie and Ji Ji glanced at each other, they didn't expect this.

Thinking about it carefully, maybe there is really a possibility that such a situation will occur, if Lu Xiaoxian's guess comes true, how can this battle not be lost?

"Fifth, the Khitan has the help of masters, and the level of these masters is not ordinarily high, at least among the generals of the Great Zhou army this time, there is no one who can compare with him."

Ji Ji asked strangely: "How could Lu Gongzi know that the Khitan has a master to guide him, who is he?" ”

"Everyone else calls him Mr. Wang, and his public identity is a Taoist priest, but his true identity is still unclear, and the Khitan rebellion has nothing to do with him." The slogan of 'return me to the king of Luling' was put forward by this Mr. Wang! ”

Ji Ji stopped talking, and if he could put forward such a slogan, he could really be called a master.

"Sixth, as far as I know, among the twenty-eight generals sent this time, there is this person installed by Mr. Wang!"

Lu Xiaoxian's words are not like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, his own generals have become the eyes of the other party, how can this battle be fought?

Ji Ji looked at Di Shijie: "Di Ge Lao, this matter is not trivial, we must find out!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

Di Shijie was white: "There are so many people, how to check?" Besides, if there is no real evidence, wouldn't it be to shake the morale of the army if there is no real evidence and the uproar before the expedition? ”

Ji Ji smiled bitterly, knowing that there was a conspirator, but he was helpless, wouldn't it make people feel a little aggrieved.

"Seventh, this Khitan rebellion, the Turks also participated in it......"

Before Lu Xiaoxian finished speaking, Ji Ji interrupted: "Master Lu, do you have any evidence?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at him and said unceremoniously: "This is what I saw with my own eyes." Before the Khitan rebellion, the Turkic Tutun Desire Valley and the national teacher Ashina Jingliu went to Songmo to meet with Li Quanzhong. Now, the Turks are still in the Khitan barracks, isn't this evidence? ”

"Eighth, there are very few generals left in the Great Zhou army who can fight now, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army has greatly declined, which is far from being comparable with the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Ninth, the terrain of Yingzhou is complex, and the Khitans have lived in the area of Yingzhou for decades, and they are much more familiar with the terrain than the Great Zhou army. Tenth, the impact of the slogan of 'return my Luling King' is very great, which will greatly reduce the army's will to fight. ”

After Lu Xiaoxian finished speaking, he then smiled at Ji Ji, "Ji Zaifu, I don't know if these ten reasons are enough?" ”

Ji Ji was speechless.

How could it not be enough, it was simply enough.

I don't know if I don't listen, and I'm shocked when I hear it.

Ji Ji is no longer as optimistic as before, on the contrary, he is a little pessimistic.

He now has an impulse to immediately go to meet Wu Zetian and report the ten reasons Lu Xiaoxian said to Wu Zetian word by word.
