Chapter 531: Heavy Gifts
Xiahou Zhuo looked at the letter in his hand, the letter trembled slightly in his hand, and his heart trembled slightly.
How could he not have known the meaning of his mother's letter?
His mother was afraid that he would forget his roots.
You have the national righteousness in your heart, and your brother has done all the hard work behind your back in order to support the national righteousness with peace of mind.
Li Qi won't say anything, but as a mother, Mrs. Xiahou can't say nothing, she also has great righteousness.
Xiahou Zhuo instructed his subordinates to bring in all the grain, and then asked Chen Dawei and Ganggang to rest, and he wanted to reply to his mother.
Returned to the study and sat down, holding the pen and looking at the paper, Xiahou Zhuo couldn't put down the pen for a long time, obviously he had something to say to his mother, but he just couldn't write it.
I don't know how long it took, but Xia Hou Zhuo took a deep breath before he started writing and wrote a few lines on the paper.
The drums cut off the pedestrians, and the sound of geese on the autumn side.
At this time, although they were scattered, the brothers died and lived together.
When he had finished writing, he let out a long breath, folded the letter and put it in an envelope, and sat at the table for a long time, looking sideways out the window, and there was a line of geese in the sky.
He got up, found Chen Dawei and Ganggang and handed them the letter, and then asked about the Yanshan camp.
Knowing that Tang Pidi had led the army south to fight Jizhou, Xiahou Zhuo's heart was tense again, the Yanshan battalion encountered major events one after another, and now the number of troops is less than 10,000, if there are any more losses, how can Li Qi bear it?
He asked carefully, knowing that it was a joint venture with Luo Jing, he was not familiar with Luo Jing, and it was not easy to judge, but he was worried.
At the same time, Liangzhou.
Shen Leng has almost recovered, he has not hurt his muscles and bones, and he will not be able to cultivate for a few months.
There is no redness and swelling on his face for a long time, and he is that personable beautiful boy again, Li Qi thought, finally there is no need to be disliked by Tang Pi.
These days, the general has to talk to him every day, and this general, who has been on the border for half his life, has deeply admired Li Qi's knowledge and character.
He has never had such a high recognition or even respect for a teenager, so he believes more and more that it will be a teenager who will eventually change the troubled times of the Central Plains.
Even if it is not Li Qi in the end, it should not be the group of moths, before that, no matter how the court changes, no matter who is in charge of the country, those moths have always been there.
Zhou Zai, they are Zhou Chen, Chu Li, and they are Chu Chen, and they have been constantly sucking the blood of the Central Plains and the blood of the people of the Central Plains.
Therefore, only a teenager like Li Qi can change the world, and he can really debone and cut the meat, rather than casually change his appearance.
After Li Qi had breakfast, he went to the yard to practice, although he couldn't exercise as high-intensity as before, how could he be idle.
During this time, while recuperating from his injuries, he learned a lot from General Shantai.
In the eyes of Tang Taiqi, Li Qi's determination and ideas are all good medicine for governing the world, irreplaceable medicine.
In Li Qi's view, General Tangtai's experience and judgment on the overall situation are all things he urgently needs to learn.
Yesterday, good news came from outside the Sai Clan, saying that the allied forces of all countries had invaded the Yueshi country, and the war was far smoother than expected.
The Tantai Pressure Realm sent someone back to deliver a letter saying that if nothing else, in about ten days, the capital of the Yue Clan could be conquered.
The coalition forces of the Western Regions countries are huge, which is equivalent to gathering crowds to fight dogs, and everyone still has sticks in their hands, and they can fight vigorously.
Therefore, from the time calculation, the return of the Taitai Pressure Realm is fast, that is, a matter of twenty days at most, even if it is slower, it will not exceed a month.
Calculate the battle situation on the Jizhou side, if everything goes well, when Li Qi and the others returned to the Yanshan camp, Jizhou had already been taken by Luo Jing.
Li Qi was practicing, and the platform slowly came in from outside, and at this time, the more he looked at this young man, the more he liked it.
It is rare for a young person to be so self-disciplined.
"General."
Li Qi hurriedly saluted.
Yu Taiqi shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't always be so polite, although there is a lot of age difference between you and me, whether it is thoughts or opinions, they are very similar, and they can be called confidants." ”
He smiled: "If it weren't for Jing'er who met you first, I was worried that Jing'er would feel uncomfortable, and even had the heart to talk to your peers." ”
Li Qi hurriedly said: "How can it be done, the general is a senior and an elder." ”
Yu Jiuling, who was not far away, also greeted the platform, and after the platform returned the salute, he went into the house with Li Qi to talk about things, and Yu Jiuling lowered his voice and said to Mr. Yan: "It's bad now." ”
Mr. Yan said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Yu Jiuling said seriously: "How can this be nonsense? The general of Shantai wants to have a relationship with Li Qi's peers, that is Li Qi's big brother, when he comes back from the pressure of Taiwan, don't you call Li Qi an uncle when he sees him? ”
Mr. Yan thought about it, and suddenly became happy: "Then you have to call me a ......."
Yu Jiuling said: "When the general of Tantai sees you, he will also call your uncle......"
Mr. Yan snorted and laughed, and said in a low voice: "It's okay to joke with me, don't go out and talk nonsense." ”
Yu Jiuling said: "Otherwise, sir, let's also talk about each other as equals, so ...... We're all full of children and grandchildren, hahahaha...... It's exciting to think about. ”
Mr. Yan said: "If you can live until now, it shows that we are really a big family who loves each other......
Yu Jiuling said: "Brother Yan, look at you, how can you say that you are a virtuous brother and me." ”
Mr. Yan: "You stay away from me, I'm afraid that when you are beaten by Li Qi, you will also be affected......"
At the same time, in the study.
He asked Li Qi: "I heard you talk about the situation in Jizhou two days ago, and you didn't hide anything from me, and told me about Jizhou in detail, so I've been thinking about it for the past two days." ”
He looked at Li Qi and said, "If Luo Jing has Jizhou, you only need grain and grass, what if Luo Jing doesn't agree?" Or he repented. ”
Li Qi said: "I can trust Luo Jing. ”
"Why? ”
Li Qi replied: "Luo Jing is arrogant, his character does not allow himself to do treacherous things, in this regard, he is completely different from his father Luo Geng. ”
Tang Taiqi nodded and said: "Then you can also want the land of southern Hebei, where the grain production far exceeds that of northern Hebei, and the troops of Luojing are insufficient, so you can't defend it, if you get southern Hebei, you can accumulate strength." ”
Li Qi said: "General, Luojing has insufficient troops and can't hold the entire Jizhou, I only have more than 8,000 soldiers and horses, and I can't hold southern Hebei." ”
Tang Taiqi sighed, thinking that this was indeed the case, if Li Qi had tens of thousands of horses, he would be able to double his strength in just one year.
So he nodded and said: "It is precisely because your strength is not so strong that you will only need some grain in Jizhou, and then expand the team with food, and slowly figure it out." ”
"No ......"
Li Qi shook his head: "I don't want food for myself, now the northern Xinjiang frontline, the border army is too bitter, I only need Jizhou money and grain, the money is used to recruit migrant workers to build a granary south of Shanbei Pass, so that the northern border army no longer has to look at Jizhou's face, and the grain is used to fill the granary." ”
"In the future, no matter who gets Jizhou, the northern border army will not have to bow their heads and beg for food, they will guard the border for the people and fight foreign enemies for the Central Plains, but they will bow their heads to people because of a mouthful of food, as if begging."
Li Qi slowly exhaled a breath, shook his head and said, "This."
It shouldn't be what the border soldiers should do, they should hold their heads high and puff out their chests. ”
Li Qi said: "I want Jizhou money and grain to build a granary at the border, and if I lead the troops away in the future, my heart will be a little more steady." ”
Hearing this, the platform was already moved.
After a long time, he got up, took a few steps back, and suddenly bent down to give Li Qi a big salute.
Li Qi was startled, and hurriedly went to help the platform, but the platform was not allowed.
"I am not the Northern Frontier Army, but we are all Frontier Army, I know how bitter and difficult the Border Army is, and I also know how dangerous the Border Army is, you can have such an idea, I thank you for all the border soldiers." ”
Li Qi said: "General, please get up, I'm ...... It's not a big deal, it's just within my reach. ”
Li Qi wants to plot against Jizhou, and so far, he is not planning for himself, but for the border army.
This incident made the platform untouched and shocked.
"I finally understand now, why Jing'er said that if you are a traitor, it will be unfair to heaven."
"Standing on the side of the imperial court, your team is the rebels, but since ancient times, there are historical records, and I have never seen the rebels raising the border army. ”
Li Qi said: "General, because the border army is different. ”
He asked, "Then what do you say?" ”
Li Qi replied: "Except for the border army, all the official and military teams are only the teams of the imperial court, and the border army is everyone's team, the team of the Central Plains. ”
Take a deep breath.
Before today, he only recognized and respected Li Qi's knowledge and opinions, but now, he respected Li Qi's open-mindedness.
Such a person is already standing higher than all of them.
He was silent for a long time, he looked at Li Qi and said, "I...... I will give you a gift for the border army brothers in northern Xinjiang, originally I wanted to give you this gift, but now, it must be counted as a return gift for the border army brothers. ”
He turned to leave: "You wait for me for a moment." ”
Li Qi watched the platform stride out, and was a little stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect the general to react like this, he just said his thoughts.
After a while, the Tai Tai came back with someone, carrying a large box.
Li Qi went out, and asked people to open the box, pointed to the inside of the box and said: "This is the golden armor worn by the person who assassinated me that day, although I don't know what kind of material it is made of, but I know that it is invulnerable." ”
He looked at Li Qi and said: "This golden armor, I will give it to you on behalf of all the border army brothers, if you don't accept it, the border army will not agree." ”
Li Qi opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refuse, this golden armor was precious, and it was indeed invulnerable, and he felt that it should be left for someone like Tang Taiqi to wear.
"Take it!"
"Since you think I am an elder, then this is also the order of the elders, and you must not disobey it." ”
In a battle that day, the warrior in golden armor was killed, and the helmet was smashed and deflated, which was difficult to repair, and then accidentally ignited the wine on the ground, and after the golden armor was burned, it turned into dark gold.
The platform insisted, Li Qi really couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept the golden armor.
He turned around and took another knife and handed it to Li Qi: "This is a scimitar that matches the armor, I wanted to give it to you that day, but I felt that the scimitar was not worthy of your identity, so I asked people to rebuild it." ”
He handed the knife to Li Qi with both hands, and with such respect, Li Qi hurriedly took it with both hands.
"The knife has been rebuilt and changed to a horizontal knife that our Chu people are good at."
"A to you, a knife to you, you will see this as a blessing from the West Frontier, may the power of the West Frontier this knife and armor to protect you from a hundred battles, invincible in the world." ”
