Chapter 596 Appointment (V)

Niu Xing is nearly fifty years old, and he can't say how young he is, but there is a certain gap with Li Po's imagination.

The surname Niu can eat and sleep, his body is great, and his spirit is also very excited, and he was very unhappy when he was brought out of prison, saying that he would share hardships with Lu Haoran, the former Changping County guard.

This is one of the more interesting things, many times, especially in these chaotic years, people see loyalty as dung, but occasionally, some people see it as life.

Confucius once said that it is necessary to emphasize righteousness to friends, and this righteousness is of course different from the interpretation of later generations, and covers a wide range of categories.

Confucius said that righteousness refers to the need to persuade friends in daily life, so as not to do wrong things, to help friends in difficult times, to learn from each other in etiquette, righteousness and behavior, etc., etc., which well expounds the connotation of the famous saying that a gentleman's friendship is as light as water.

Of course, this is true for friends, for kings, for elders and officials, and for the common people, it is also necessary to speak a righteous word, so it is not easy to understand the righteousness of Confucianism, and it is even more difficult to achieve it.

In fact, Niu Xingyuan is the first Confucian disciple in the true sense that Li Po has seen, paying attention to the height of the temple, and worrying about the people, the distance of the rivers and lakes, and worrying about the king.

In the days when gate valves were in vogue, people like him who strictly demanded themselves with Confucian scriptures and regulated their behavior were really rare animals.

Of course, it is not surprising that his uncle Niu Hong was originally a great Confucian in the literary world, and he was the forerunner of Confucianism in the former Sui Dynasty, and his status was similar to that of Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty.

As a student of Niu Hong, he must be an ideal state of spitting on the legacy of the forest, disgusting the gate valve system, pursuing the unification of the world, respecting the monarch and the minister, and knowing the etiquette of the people.

Just looking at his experience as an official, you will understand that his talents and knowledge are far inferior to Niu Hong, and many of his actions are in the realm of scholarly spirit, and there is not much benefit to others or himself.

Li Pozhao met with his people, in fact, he knew that this person was not the right person to send an envoy, and when he arrived in the northwest, he might be like Su Wu, herding sheep for people, which was secondary, and the most important thing was that he could not achieve the purpose of the envoy.

Speaking of which, Li Po also dislikes people like Niu Xingyuan, because most of the Confucian disciples have a problem with retreat, and they like to occupy the moral high ground to condemn others, and they just listen to it on weekdays, but the world is in chaos, and their shortcomings are suddenly magnified a lot.

It is destined not to be appreciated by Li Po, who started from Daizhou Biansai, or later Wang Ze, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, recommended Niu Xingyuan again, and this person found a position here in Li Po.

And now, it was Lu Haoran, who came to see Li Po together, who aroused Li Po's interest.

Needless to say, this person is more cunning, this person ascended to the position of Taishou when the bandits in Changping County were at its most serious, and continued to lead the post of Changping Tongshou.

This person hid behind Shangdang County, continuously suppressed the bandits, and controlled the situation in Changping County, Li Yuan came and fought with Yan Zong, he saw that the situation was not good and immediately took refuge in Li Yuan.

When Li Po waved his troops south and fought with Li Tang, he followed behind Yan Zong and asked Li Po for here and that, and he had the posture of listening to Feng and not obeying orders.

Then Li Po sent troops to the east under his anger, Yan Zong directly smeared his brains, and this one did not hesitate much, immediately surrendered, and brought his family to Jinyang to ask for guilt.

can take and dare to abandon, the standard warlord style of the troubled times, compared to him, the Shangdang County Taishou Yanzong is stupid like a brain that does not turn.

Therefore, now Yan Zong's head is floating in the head of the Shangdang County City, but this Changping County Taishou is still alive and kicking, and the Changshi of Fuzhong, who can still flicker, lives and dies with him, which is really a character.

After seeing Li Po, he bowed to worship, Li Po was happy when he saw it, although this person was a native of the party, he was meticulous in the etiquette of the time, and it was the etiquette when he saw the king.

The words are also quite interesting, "The lord is above, and the guilty minister is grateful for the grace of the lord not to kill." ”

Seeing Niu Xingyuan before, Li Po was quite disappointed, that person is familiar with the customs of the northwest departments, but it is difficult to take on important responsibilities, Yang Gongren is actually very suitable, but the old man, in addition to being afraid that he will die on the way, there are also new people, and the reason for the rare trust is in it.

The envoy was sent to Liangzhou, which was thousands of miles away, but the envoy was not easy to find, and this matter was really difficult to deliver.

At this point, Li Po felt that instead of sending some people who didn't know what to do, it was better to give up immediately, without Zhang Butcher, how could we really eat hairy pigs?

Especially after meeting with the envoys from several other parties, Li Po was more solemn when choosing the envoys, and even felt that it was too hasty to send Liu Jing, Li Ya and others to Dali City before, and it was the same as a joke.

That is, the situation was urgent at that time, and everyone in the Turks was staring at the position of the Khan with a good eye and had no time to take care of it, otherwise, maybe those few people would mess things up.

Most of the things have to be given up halfway, without Li Liang in Liangzhou, Liang Shidu still dares to go south into the hinterland of Guanxi? What if Li Liang stabbed him in the back?

In fact, these people in the northwest were all stained with the light of the big thief Bai Yusa at the beginning, but now they all have ghosts in their hearts, wandering around the barren land in the northwest, and they don't seem to be in the climate.

In general, Li Po is not in a good mood, his vision now is not as good as before, what he is considering is actually the Turkic civil strife, and everyone in the south can play with peace of mind for a long time.

If such a situation is a little short-sighted, it will feel very beautiful, and there will be less mixing with the powerful Turks, and there will be many fewer constraints.

But Li Po felt that the situation was a little bad, once everyone was calmed down, delaying for a while, and waiting for the Turks to ease their breath, damn, he must be the first to bear the brunt here, even now, he must always be on guard against the southward invasion of the Turkic tribes in the clouds in the north.

The feeling of a sharp blade hanging over his head was always with him, so he wanted to break the deadlock in a short period of time, and as for who could benefit from it, it was up to everyone to have their own means.

Long-term strategic considerations, after the Battle of Pusaka, were formed in Li Po's mind, in fact, the internal security of Li Shu, the external alliance is good, leading everyone to Li Tang, continue to weaken Li Tang's strength, and then take advantage of the gap to attack it, this is already a kind of general strategy.

It can be said that when today's heroes, there are actually not a few people who can have such a sense of urgency, and there are only Li Po who may clearly know what they should do and can put in ten percent of their efforts for it...... 5610
