Chapter 468 Gift
"What the governor said before, but he is saying that the troops are insufficient, and once the army goes south, it will inevitably be too scattered and difficult to deal with the worries of a strong enemy?"
Needless to say, Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang are eating each other, and gobbling them can be regarded as praising them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhang Liang eats like a dog who protects food, his eyes are looking left and right, probably thinking that it is best to take these things back and taste them slowly, but looking at his appearance, it seems that he wants to buy the food in the land, so as not to be contested by others.
And Xu Shiji clung to a big bone, and he couldn't even swallow the bone, so the aura of the world's famous generals was completely shattered into one place in Li Po's mind.
Of course, there is no need to be surprised, not to mention that Li Po's food here is different, let's just say these two, they eat corn and rice every day in Henan, kill a horse, and get a pig, they will all treat it as a delicacy and can eat it for many days.
There is no way, the days of drinking and eating meat can still be realized in Wagang Mountain, but later, the canal shipping was completely cut off, Henan was in chaos, and everyone looked at more and more people, but gradually they could only eat corn to fill their stomachs.
However, it is stronger than Shandong, Hebei and other places, and it is not what it is like to let the big guy taste human flesh.
After the Tang Dynasty, the food improved, and the most eaten was actually corn, and the army was the army, which could not be compared with others.
At first, they were able to control their appetites, but as soon as they ate the delicious meat, in less than a moment, their physiological instincts overwhelmed their reason, and they suffered too much.
This vicious eating appearance made Li Po a little embarrassed to behave, and he also had a sense of déjà vu when poor relatives came to the door.
He also doubted that if someone gave these two guys a few full meals, they would be able to help people kill people and set fires.
Li Po's mood is getting better and better, and the funny thing is that things always make him smile.
Xu Shiji ate heartily, but this person was really serious, and he didn't forget the previous topic at all.
Li Po also held a bone, threw it on the table and smiled: "If that's the case, what then?" ā
Xu Shiji choked immediately, and swallowed the meat in his throat very hard, I heard this just now, right?
If Wei Gong talked to him like this, he must have been terrified, Wei Gong wanted to use a person, he had always treated him like a brother and nephew, and he also had the temperament of not using people who were suspicious.
But if he wants to be suspicious of a person, his verbal contempt is one of the most obvious signs, and the person who is suspicious of Wei Gong ...... Death is almost certain.
In fact, the fundamental reason for Xu Shiji to lead the army to join Tang is that Li Mi has gone crazy, and there are fewer and fewer people who treat him like a nephew, but there are more and more people who are suspicious of him.
This situation has become more and more obvious since he killed Zhai Rang.
Don't listen to people, be stubborn and self-serving, and the words you say can no longer make people guess which sentence is true and which sentence is false.
There is no longer the measure and style of gathering the crowd and accepting the heroes.
And Li Po is not Li Mi after all, the fear in Xu Shiji's heart is breeding by inertia, but he still notices the difference, when Wei Gong speaks, he will stare at your eyes tightly, like an eagle fighting a rabbit.
The...... But it seems to be talking about an inconsequential matter, mostly a joke, so that you don't know if what you say has entered people's ears.
It was a very relaxed feeling, Xu Shiji hammered his chest, and his brain was spinning quickly, but he and Zhang Liang were always accustomed to comparing Li Mi with others, which really showed Li Mi's prestige in the Henan army.
"The last will think...... If that's the case...... Or can you take advantage of the victory to go south, occupy all the key points, and then surrender to everyone, so that you can relieve your worries a little? ā
It's very uncertain, and the previous attack obviously hit his confidence.
Li Po nodded lightly noncommittally, but this time he spoke much more realistically, "In fact, the battle array, the destruction of the city and the village, what you want is nothing more than two things, one is the land, and the other is Dingkou." ā
"Speaking of which, you know what I'm bothering about, right?"
Xu Shiji rolled his eyes and subconsciously gnawed two bites of bones, but Zhang Liang, who was eating happily over there, had already muttered, "The manager is talking about grain and grass?" ā
Li Po patted the table lightly and said with a smile: "What I'm talking about is grain and grass, if there is no food, no matter how much territory there is, no matter how much Dingkou I have, what's the use of me coming?" ā
"There are few big warehouses in Jindi, after this battle, the counties in the south are afraid that they will be hungry, right? In the spring more than 200,000 troops, most of them are young and strong in Jindi, and there are not a few barren fields in Hedong in the past few years, and now there is war again......"
Speaking of this, Li Po shook his head.
Xu Shiji slowly put the bones on the table, wiped his greasy hands on the placket, and then solemnly arched his hand: "The chief manager's foresight is really convincing, if this is the case...... In the opinion of the last general, it is better to garrison in the Valley of Sparrows and Rats and wait and see what happens......"
Even if it's just a sentence, the vicious smell of it comes to your face.
What does it mean to wait and see? What will happen once the counties are short of food, there is no better understanding than the people of Henan, and there is still Li Tang's territory, as long as the army does not go south, Li Tang will treat the hungry people who are waiting to be fed? At this time, it was really unknown.
If Li Tang didn't care about the lives and deaths of the people in southern Jinnan, then it would be certain that there would be riots in the future, and by the way, Li Tang's reputation would also be extremely seriously damaged.
Such a strategy...... It smells of blood, so Xu Shiji's praise is also the long-term thinking of the manager, not the governor's love for the people like a son.
Li Po naturally understands the reason, and he has not never done such a thing as throwing off the burden.
At this time, he raised his hand and nodded at Xu Shiji, but he shook his head and smiled: "Your idea can't come true, Jindi has gone through a lot of wars over the years, but the only one who has been greatly injured is the side of the generation, and the south side is also when Li Yuan went south and today, and a lot of people have been requisitioned." ā
"Looking at today, those who are not injured can be called a good foundation, if you let the south be in chaos, thieves will swarm, and lead beasts to eat people, hehe, what is the difference between me and Li Mi, Wang Shichong and others?"
Xu Shiji was stunned, and Zhang Liang also looked up, which was really different from the concept they held.
The sky was already dark, and Li Po also felt a little sleepy.
Tonight is quite rewarding, Henan people have all kinds of shortcomings, but it is not disgusting.
When Xu Shiji and the two retired, Li Po slept comfortably, and the problem of food was bothering him again, but compared to the days when he had to eat the last meal and wanted to eat the next meal, this was nothing.
When he was woken up by Zhang Jin, it was already noon on the day, and it was time for lunch.
Zhang Jin reported to Li Po, Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang had already gone on the road, and the other ...... Pei Shiqing, who was stationed in the Valley of Sparrows, sent him a gift.
This also means that the Pei clan in Hedong has fallen.
The gift that Pei Shiqing sent was very special, Jiang Baoyi, the general of Zuo Wuwei, was sent back by the five flowers, and there was also an eagle Yang Lang general Li Dingfang, and thousands of Tang Army defeated soldiers were also sent to Jiexiu with these two.
In general, except for one Pei Lin who missed it, and those guys who rushed over the mountains and mountains in a panic, the rest of the rout soldiers who fled to the Bird Mouse Valley were all taken down by Pei Shiqing and sent back.
At this point, the more than 200,000 Tang troops were completely annihilated in the north of the Bird Mouse Valley, and there were very few people who fled back.
This is a war that is difficult to replicate, since the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there really has not been such a big defeat, of course, this is in addition to the first battle of Liaodong.
Li Po used his superhuman patience and keen sense of war to create a miracle again.
For Pei Shiqing's surrender, Li Po felt any surprise, and even a little tasteless, Pei and Wang were no different, or rather, they were not much different from Xu Shiji and others.
I've always liked to put the icing on the cake and let them get their hands on it...... That's something you don't have to think about at all.
Xu Shiji and others are in order to save their own lives, while the Pei family and the Wang family are in order to protect the family, fundamentally speaking, they are all people in troubled times, and no one is even a little more noble than others.
In fact, in comparison, although the unlucky Jiang Baoyi is incompetent, there is one thing that is much stronger than these people, that is, his loyalty.
Of course, many times, many things are bad in the hands of such people, and from this point of view, it is really difficult to tell who is the one who should be hated compared to the grass on the wall or the evil people.
Hearing Jiang Baoyi's name, Li Po was also happy, Zhuge had seven captures of Meng Shu, and today he has captured Jiang Baoyi three times.
Of course, he didn't mean to take this person in, he waved his hand and let him go, and his colleagues imagined again in their hearts, if he and Li Yuan changed places, how should they treat this "loyal minister" who was continuously captured?
Will this man appear next time opposite the army he leads? If that's the case, he really has to admire Li Yuanhai's general measurement and unique way of employing people......
Well, okay, letting Jiang Baoyi go back this time is purely disgusting to Li Yuan, to be honest, he is indeed a little jealous and disgusted with Li Yuan's name of benevolence that has spread all over the world.
As for Li Dingfang......
A few days ago, when he heard a report that Li Dingfang was on vacation, he was stunned for a long time before he turned this guy out from his relatively distant memory.
Like Jiang Baoyi, this is also a person who has more than enough success and more than failure, Jiang Baoyi is not afraid of death, but this person is useless in Li Po's eyes.
Wo Li Heng is very good at it, not to mention that he has been whipped by people in Mayi, and he has coveted his daughter-in-law, and there is no less tossing in Liaodong.
At this time, I heard that Pei Shiqing sent this person back, and when new and old hatreds came to his heart, Li Po was extremely dissatisfied with Pei Shiqing.
