In the main hall of the back house of the Assassin Mansion, Li Po set up a banquet to entertain the Tang envoys. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is no longer any verbal sparring, for Li Po, he just wants to hear what kind of concessions Li Tang will make, because this is neither the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period divided by the princes, nor the war at the end of the Han Dynasty.

In the past few years, there has been little reason between the various forces, and war is the most common mode of getting along.

Others don't say it, Li Tanghe has been horizontal a few times, but it has no effect, in such a chaotic season in the world, there may not be a matter of Sun and Liu uniting to resist Cao.

Therefore, in Li Po's view, the role of the envoy is not great, and the matter of the two families turning war into jade silk will not happen.

And there is also no condition for taking from each other, Li Tang will not give him population, food, and land, and he can't give Li Tang anything decent here.

The reason why the two families were able to sit down and talk after a big war...... Well, it's more like buying time to accumulate strength for the more intense World War I that followed.

Li Po has the feeling that the role of the envoy for today's princes at the end of the Sui Dynasty is really not as exaggerated as that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and this is also a very dangerous profession, and he will lose his head at every turn.

Like the envoy sent to Zhu Can by Li Tang before, he was cooked and eaten by Zhu Can, and the envoy sent to the Turks was cut out of his nose and eyes, and died in Jinyang.

is like the envoy sent to him by Wang Shichong some time ago, he wanted to cut it down, because the bullshit edict brought by the other party made people really annoyed to read it.

Of course, the envoys sent to him by Li Shentong were all turned into corpses.

The fact that the two countries are at war without killing each other is really not very popular these days.

And for Li Xiuning, in fact, it is almost the same, finding out Li Po's thoughts is a must to do, if Li Po insists on leading his troops south to Chang'an, then they can also go home.

If there is a truce, you can talk about it, as for how to talk about it, where is the bottom line, Li Xiuning thought all the way, plus her father's advice, but she still can't be sure.

A banquet is actually just a process of mutual temptation, no one wants to provoke Li Po, and Li Po will not come to embarrass Dou Dan again.

Everyone avoided talking about a big war before, as if it had never happened.

Don't worry about having nothing to say, Li Po and Li Xiuning are "eyebrows and eyebrows", talking about the old relationship, and the others are all children, and this kind of thing is their specialty.

Wen Yanbo's eldest brother served in Li Tang, which was a good breakthrough, and he soon talked to Wei Jie.

Dou Dan and Pei Lin are not bad, and Pei Shiqing can also talk to each other, the sharpness tempered in adversity and battle formations is very good for him, and the gentleness and elegance are just like the family that accompanied the army in Zhuojun back then.

He is also a junior courtesy to Pei Shiqing, and he has made a good gesture, and he is not slacking off because of his capriciousness.

As for Zhao Ying, compared with these people, the family background is far worse, and being able to sit here today can only be said to be a timely meeting.

He came to Jiang County to meet Li Po because Longquan County has made a lot of trouble this year, there is no way, Lu Liangshan runs through the county, and it has always been the norm in Longquan County to suppress bandits over the years.

At the beginning of this year, Longquan County sent 2,000 troops, and a lot of Ding Zhuang was pulled, and many people went to Luliang Mountain to escape civilian service.

Longquan County was originally a lower county, and after such a toss, it is conceivable what the autumn harvest will be like this year...... No need to ask, he came to Jiangxian to ask Li Po for his guilt.

talked to Li Po once, and Li Po had a very good impression of this person.

This person was born in the Longquan Zhao family, married to the daughter of the Zhang family in Jinyang, and he is also honest, not only to ask Li Po for his guilt, but also to fight for his official position, and to get some food from Jiangjun back.

How to say it, there are all kinds of local officials in the troubled times, in Li Po's view, it is very simple to distinguish between good and bad, and it is enough to have a little heart to protect the territory and the people, and there is no need to be too demanding.

Being able to be a guest of honor, Zhao Ying is very relieved, he is too far away from these people, he can't say anything, only a table of wine and food is very tempting, he has not eaten such a delicacy for several days.

So this person only drinks and eats meat, and he looks very embarrassed to the Jin people.

While enjoying himself, someone was asking, "Zhao Junshou, when I returned to Xijing in Jinyang that day, I stayed in Longquan for a few days, and I felt that Longquan was exquisite and elegant...... It's just that people's livelihood is difficult, and there are more bandits, I don't know what about today's Longquan? ”

You don't need to look at it, just listen to the thin voice Zhao Ying knows who is talking, the third lady of the Li family He did see him in Longquan back then, but at that time he was just a noble person in Longquan County who was too guarded and welcomed.

Zhao Ying raised his head and didn't panic, he didn't want to do it anymore, the bandits below were enough headaches, a big war would have to send people and food, if he was an official elsewhere, it would be fine, but that was where his hometown was.

For this reason, Zhao's reputation in his hometown can be said to have plummeted, and his youngest son was smashed on the head when he went out to play.

Coming to Jiangjun to ask for guilt, in fact, there is no banditry, first, he wants to get some food back, otherwise it will be difficult to live up and down Longquan County this winter, and secondly, he really wants to take the opportunity to resign, even if he goes home to teach his children and grandchildren, it is much better than being hated and abused by Xiangzi.

Speaking of which, it is clear that he has no good impression of Li Tang at all, and the same is true for Li Po, because this year's big war can be regarded as making Longquan suffer.

Of course, if he were to take a look at Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places, it is estimated that his thoughts would not be like this.

Li Po treats him very preferentially, he doesn't have much gratitude, it's just that he feels that Li Po is stronger than Li Tang in that he can still know why the autumn harvest is, and he thinks about giving Longquan people a bite to eat, which is much stronger than Li Shentong, Pei Shiqing and others.

It can be said that as the head of a county, this person does not have a good vision and lacks some talents, but when it comes to heart, he has to throw away those heroes in troubled times as far as the Yellow River.

He sat up straight, arched his hand first, and then looked at Li Po's face, and then sighed and said, "When His Highness returned to the south that day, Longquan ...... There are only a few scenery left, and today's ......"

"The six counties under the jurisdiction of Longquan are more than 14,000 households, and there are many fewer ...... than that day."

Everyone was looking at this guy, no matter what they thought in their hearts, but they didn't say anything.

Li Xiuning glanced at Li Po slightly, and the meaning was very clear, "The place is so ruined, and if you want to raise troops to fight back and forth, how can you bear it?" ”

Li Po raised his eyebrows, raised his glass and said: "Zhao Junshou is a person who loves the people, to this day there are ruins everywhere, the emperor is called the king everywhere, and there may be no one in the ten, I respect the county Shou Cup, I hope that the people of Longquan can come to Jitai under the rule of me and the county guard, and live a peaceful life." ”

Zhao Ying raised his glass, "What the lower officials wish is more than Si Yan, and the lower officials thank the chief manager on behalf of the people of Longquan." ”

Li Po and Zhao Ying drank a cup of each other, turned their heads and said to Li Xiuning: "Sanniang knows that I am the Fufeng people's clan, and there is no doubt that Fufeng was Shangjun back then, ha, the Fufeng Dou clan is also well-known, I heard that Xue Ju and his second brother Shimin have been fighting in Fufeng for a long time, and I don't know if Fufeng can be like Longquan today?" ”

Does this need to be asked, Longquan has not actually experienced much war, but has only been affected by the war, but the population has been reduced by half, in fact, most of the people have gone to the village in Luliang Mountain.

But Fufeng, then it is really reduced to a battlefield, and the so-called Fufeng Dou clan has already moved into Xijing and completely abandoned his hometown.

And under the war, how much of Fufeng's population is left now, you can only ask God.

Li Xiuning pursed her lips, I said Longquan, you said Fufeng, such a-for-tat, but it is a loss of manly bearing, but her competitive heart was also aroused unconsciously.

Then he said: "Yes, the two countries have fought against each other, and it is really not benevolent...... When I met the eldest brother for the first time, the younger sister respected the eldest brother the most, because the eldest brother was different from others, there was a northern but Turkic, and the ambition to protect the territory and the people was not comparable to the heroes of the world, and now it is ...... The eldest brother is more ambitious than before, but in the eyes of the younger sister, the eldest brother is no different from others now. ”

When Li Po heard this, he also pouted in his heart, you should tell your father and your brothers to hear this.

With a slight smile, Li Po stabbed him fiercely, "What Sanniang said about others, can there be Tang Gonghu?" If so...... Haha, in my opinion, it's better to be like others. ”

Li Xiuning's eyebrows stood up, and his eyes were also slashing at Li Po.

Over there, Dou Dan had already answered, "The emperor is benevolent, everyone knows that the Japanese marquis of foreign countries have returned to the township, and Fufeng must have been full of flowers, so it is right not to disappoint the military marquis." ”

Wen Yanbo chuckled over there and said: "Looking at today's Jindi, Tang Gongzhiben, don't say it, if there is really the day that the virtuous brother said, there is the Fufeng Dou family, who the flower belongs to, it is still to be discussed, right?" ”

There were no dirty words in the words, but the smell of gunpowder had gradually thickened.

Li Po waved his hand to silence everyone, this kind of dispute didn't mean anything in his opinion.

Dou Dan seemed to be very excited, and kept talking to Pei Shiqing, once he took over Li Po's words, he seemed very tough, and Li Po, who was very sensitive to people's psychology, was already suspecting that this person was not making peace at all......

Dou Dan ...... Now he is the Sima of the Qin Palace, and he also holds the position of Taichangqing, what do these official positions mean? Li Po glanced at Li Xiuning obliquely, and involuntarily had some crooked ideas in his heart.

On the other hand, he still said, "Today's drink, just to catch the wind for the old man, don't say anything else, come, I salute Sanniang with a cup, thinking that it is amend." ”
