For the first time, Li Ze saw a life-and-death duel between the most ferocious generals in the world.

In the past, he had seen the contest between Shi Zhuang, Tu Lichun, Liu Chenglin and Min Rou, but after all, it was just a contest, and everyone was up to the point.

Today, it is a life-and-death struggle.

Shi Zhuang is recuperating and is in the prime of life.

Xu Fu is determined to live and die, and he fights for his life.

As soon as the battle between the two sides began, Xu Fu immediately gained the upper hand.

The reason is simple, he doesn't want to live anymore. So he doesn't defend at all, even if he uses his life to exchange Shi Zhuang for something, he thinks it's worth it.

Of course, Shi Zhuang didn't want to exchange a certain part of his body for Xu Fu's life.

Including Li Ze, they were all worried about watching this battle, and several times Li Ze was ready to go back on his word and order Liang Han to go out to help Shi Zhuang finish off this old and strong old thief.

But when he thought about it, not to mention the loss of his morale, it also made Shi Zhuang lose face. It was an open contest in front of tens of thousands of troops.

Sometimes, just afraid of face, it is really worth more than life.

Fortunately, Shi Zhuang looked a little embarrassed, but he finally survived the crisis without danger.

Hearing Liang Han beside him exhale a long breath of turbidity, Li Ze immediately turned his head to look at him, "How is it?" ”

Until now, Li Ze still couldn't judge whether Shi Zhuang could win the final victory.

Liang Han nodded heavily: "It's almost, Old Thief Xu is old after all, and his blood is not good, and the general is already gradually recovering the situation." In this battle, the general will win. ”

Hearing Liang Han's affirmative tone, Li Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unconsciously, his hands were covered with sweat, and he wiped his body without a trace.

Outsiders look at it and sweat profusely, but the person concerned doesn't feel it at all. They don't have time to think about these things, the competition between the masters, the slightest distraction, can lead to the loss of the whole game.

If you make a mistake, you will be restrained step by step.

Xu Fu puffed up the last of his remaining bravery, and saw that a stick and a lance were locked together for the first time after a long battle, and Tian Ping, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but whisper.

At the beginning, he suffered a big loss on top of this, and was locked by the barb on the mace, and was almost killed by Xu Fu in one shot.

Now, Xu Fu's trick is here again.

However, it is clear that Shi Zhuang is not Tian Ping.

The two of them exerted their strength at the same time, and the sound of snapping sounded, but it was the barb on the mace, which was cut off by Shi Zhuang alive. The horse lance got out of trouble, and Xu Fu was about to use his strength to twist the opponent's horse lance away, and the strength of his whole body instantly made it into the air, and his body not only planted forward.

The two horses were staggered, and the lance slid out of most of the halt in Shi Zhuang's hand, and the hand was held at the middle end of the horse lance, and with a light wave, the sharp edge of the plot was slashed across Xu Fu's neck.

The war horse jumped out of a distance of more than ten zhang, Shi Zhuang turned his horse, but Xu Fu never looked back. The man shook his horse several times, fell off his horse with a thud, and fell to the ground.

Shi Zhuang raised the horse lance in his hand high, and tens of thousands of Tang army soldiers cheered in unison.

More than 1,000 disarmed Liang soldiers fell to their knees silently.

As Li Ze wished, when the sun set, he sat on the tower of the Tiger Prison Pass, drinking tea comfortably while enjoying the sunset on the horizon.

In this battle, more than 20,000 Liang troops were annihilated, more than 3,000 were killed on the spot, more than 5,000 were wounded, and the remaining more than 10,000 became prisoners. The loss of the Tiger Prison also made the Tang Army officially open the door of Sanqin, and now Cao Xuan in Luoyang is afraid that he has begun to retreat.

The Tang army will rest in the Tiger Prison for several days, and then several armies will go straight to Luoyang.

And Pei Ju has already entered the role of the governor of Henan. The first thing he had to deal with was the Liang army prisoners of war, who numbered as many as tens of thousands.

After ordinary soldiers and middle- and lower-ranking officers were disarmed, each of them was issued with an identity certificate, and with these certificates, they could return to their hometowns on their own, report to the local government, and officially complete the identity transition from soldiers to ordinary people.

And there is no such treatment for high-ranking officers, who will remain in custody.

Thousands of wounded soldiers, but also Pei Ju's attention, these people after the injury, will also return to their hometown, for Pei Ju, now the entire Henan people are scarce, a large number of men died on the battlefield, each more life, for the future of Henan, is one more labor.

"Shi Zhuang, I want to hear your opinion!" Li Ze glanced at Shi Zhuang sitting opposite. "What are your thoughts on the upcoming Yixing Society Conference?"

Shi Zhuang smiled slightly: "After reading the briefing sent by Yang Kai, the expositions on the theory of the country and the theory of the nation are extremely incisive, which makes people suddenly open." If these two expositions can penetrate deep into the hearts of the people, then Li Xiang, the true unification of China, will not be far away. ”

"It's a long-term process, and in the short term, it's not going to be effective." Li Zedao: "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people!" You don't shy away from the important and say the important things. ”

Shi Zhuang smiled: "Li Xiang's idea can be described as extremely novel and unprecedented. For Li Xiang, he dared to delegate power to his subordinates, and he admired it very much. But even though Shi Zhuang had read the book, for a while, it was difficult to judge whether it was good or bad to do this. ”

"What I want to change is to make the people of this world no longer regard this world as a family and a family name." Li Zedao: "I want everyone to think in their own subconscious that they are the masters of this world, and the so-called rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." So, I want to change the way I govern the world. ”

"From the king's mouth with the constitution of heaven to the governance of an organization like the Yixing Society?" Shi Zhuang said. "But Li Xiang, with all due respect, when you are in power, this so-called committee that governs the world will still be your hall. Whatever you say, that's what you say. ”

Li Ze smiled: "There is indeed this possibility." However, I am still quite confident in myself, I think that I will not become a faint monarch, and I can lead Datang to a more stable and better place, and this system is for latecomers. I have the prestige to make a decision, but my son may not have it, he will inevitably be constrained in this committee, and in the future, the members of the committee, who have become accustomed to holding power, will naturally not easily return the power they have acquired. Is that right? ”

"What if the future king raises the butcher's knife?"

"Do you think the future king will be able to make the army obey his word like I do?" Li Ze said disdainfully: "And I still have a few decades to slowly fix this system and make it a truth that the people agree on." In this way, such meaningless changes can be avoided. ”

"Changing the traditional model of governing the world, danger and opportunity coexist." Shi Zhuang pondered for a moment and said: "But as you said, you are still young, and you have time to explore and improve, even if something goes wrong, with your prestige, just change it, Shi Zhuang has nothing to say, and he will become your most loyal supporter." ”

"The reason why I came to you today to talk about this is because you are different from other commanders." Li Ze was silent for a moment and said, "After the first Yixing Society Conference is held, you will leave the army!" ”

"You want me to be one of the first committees?" Shi Zhuang asked directly.

"Not bad. In the committee, there must be a person who is skilled in military affairs and has a high reputation in the army. Li Ze said with a smile: "More importantly, I need this person to have the courage and ability to sing a duet with me and veto some of my unreasonable decisions." ”

Shi Zhuang smiled: "Li Xiang, you are roasting me on the fire." ”

"I want to set an example for those who come after me." Li Ze poured a cup of tea for Shi Zhuang, "How about it, do you dare to do it?" ”

"You, Cao Xin, Gongsun Changming, Zhang Hui, Chun Yuyue, and Yang Kai are the favorite candidates of the first committee in my mind." Li Zedao: "Cao Xin, needless to say, Yang Kai, the two of them must obey my orders, and you, Gongsun Changming, Zhang Hui, and Chun Yuyue are all people who have their own ideas and adhere to them." ”

"Li Xiang, have you ever thought about it, in this way, around our people, there will definitely be a large number of followers behind us in the future." Shi Zhuang said.

"What?" Li Zedao: "No one can have the upper hand, if you want your ideas to be implemented, you must get the consent of at least three other people before it can be launched, isn't it?" And if you can really get the consent of the other three people, I'm afraid that this matter is correct in itself. ”

"This will make the struggle within the Yixing Society more intense."

"As long as there are people, there will be struggles. This is unavoidable, but if this kind of struggle is confined to the Yixing Society, then the harm to the world will be limited to the minimum. At least that's what I think, this way of governing the world can prevent the state from being bad because of people as much as possible. Moreover, in addition to the eternal king, the other six people all have tenures. If you don't do well, you'll have to go down the next term. ”

"So there are six members in the committee, and the king will always have the most important vote in his hands!" Shi Zhuang said with a smile: "If something goes wrong, it is naturally that the people in these committees are not doing well, and replacing them will make the people angry in their hearts." And kings are always holy. ”

"It's a little bit of selfishness on my part!" Li Ze smiled: "I don't want my descendants to be knocked into the dust and become poor guys who can be trampled on!" ”

"The leader of the Yixing Society will always be the king?"

"Nope." Li Ze shook his head categorically and said: "I am ready to resign from the position of leader of the Yixing Society after I officially ascend to this position, the king, you must stand in a more transcendent position." ”

"No wonder there is Yang Kai." Shi Zhuang nodded and said, "The president of the Yixing Society must be in this committee. ”
