Chapter 411: Ambition (I)

Although the wine and food had not yet arrived, Li Canglan was in high spirits, he pulled Zhang Xiaowu over, asked about the details of the assassination force Gaotu, and also wanted to take a look at the Tartar Golden Armor. The golden armor of the Tartar Tower and the blades of the Wuhuan generals were placed in the warehouse, which was supposed to be dedicated to the Great German Emperor, but unfortunately the Great German Emperor was locked up first.

Zhang Xiaowu knew the importance of what he showed to the emperor, and he couldn't show the courtiers first, so as not to give people a handle, so he shirked it.

Li Canglan didn't think that Zhang Xiaowu was hiding it from him, he also knew that he was a little out of shape, and when he saw that the wine and food were delivered, he changed the topic with a smile and said: "It is rumored that there are countless versions of your assassination force Gaotu, but I want to hear the real version today." General Zhang, let's talk about it while we eat and drink. ”

Zhang Xiaowu couldn't cry or laugh, and said that this General Li was really gossip, so he asked, "General Li really wants to hear it?" ”

Li Canglan immediately said: "You may not know, my favorite thing to do is not to lead troops to guard the imperial city and protect the people in the imperial city, I want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions like you and protect the saints." ”

Li Canglan asked people to set up the wine and food and sit on the table, the table is not big, only for two people to sit facing each other, but there are a lot of wine and food. Min Bachi's work is definitely enough, even if he buys a few large boxes of wine and food, he can't put it on a small table at all.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Thank you General Li for your hospitality. ”

Li Canglan shook his head and said: "If it is hospitality, you will not be here at all, I know that you were punished by the Son of Heaven and locked up here, but the Son of Heaven is only lightly punished, if it is really punished, you will not be left in the palace." In my opinion, in the future, Brother Zhang will most likely be added to the rank of knight, and he will make friends in advance uninvited. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "General Li is handed over, I can't tolerate it, how dare I excuse it." Although he didn't like wine, the amount of wine was not bad, so he poured himself a bowl directly and said with a smile: "It's an honor to meet General Li today." ”

Li Canglan also said with a smile while pouring wine: "I am also honored to meet countless ghost generals today, and I am really happy." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence, in fact, if General Li is on the front line, his achievements may not be as good as mine." ”

Li Canglan shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, I blame myself, I want to go to the best forbidden army in the world, so I came to the White Tiger Army, I never expected to go to Saibei but never fought a battle, seeing that Inuyi couldn't kill the enemy, I was really angry!" Alas...... On the contrary, it was your Qinglong Army, although it was defeated, but you almost beat the northern Inuyi countries to the bone. In my opinion, instead of being punished, the Blue Dragons should be rewarded. Come on, drink, drink. ”

His words sounded comfortable, the Qinglong Army was indeed defeated, but it was not a rout, but it dragged the northern countries down. Zhang Xiaowu raised his glass, moved in his heart, and said with a smile after taking a sip: "General Li envies the soldiers of Saibei, why don't the soldiers of Saibei envy the White Tiger Army." At the end of the day, everyone only sees the good in others and only thinks about their own bad. But if it's really a swap of lives, do you really think it's good to be in Saibei? Do you really think it's bad to guard the palace? Not necessarily, right? ”

Li Canglan laughed, poured wine for the two of them, and raised his glass again: "What you said is very reasonable, very reasonable." Come on, come on, tell me again, how to kill the power of Gaotu? ”

"Speaking of high killing, it is also thanks to the help of people in the rivers and lakes." Zhang Xiaowu rushed the Central Plains Righteous Army to Saibei to assist in defending the city and participated in the assassination of Li Gaotu to tell him. just hid the secret tunnel, but said that when he built the plague village before, in order to facilitate the escape of the tunnel dug around the plague village, he happened to be good at trying to die and chose to put the handsome tent in the plague village. He also said that when he infiltrated the camp tent of Li Gaotu at night, stabbed him thirty or forty times under the bed, and finally killed Li Gaotu, Zhang Xiaowu said: "Many coincidences caused Li Gaotu's death. ”

"The artist is bold." Li Canglan laughed, "I thought you would fight him for 300 rounds and finally kill him, but I never expected that you would hide under the bed and assassinate." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with regret: "I really want to fight with him, but it's a pity that the two armies are fighting, and they do everything they can, as long as they can kill the other party, where do they care if the method is appropriate." I think that using the simplest, most direct and effective way to eliminate the opponent and avoid the casualties of my soldiers is the way to win, and I am naturally willing to use it. ”

Li Canglan clapped his face and laughed: "I like to hear this sentence, by the way, fighting a war is your life and death, you must not be soft-hearted, and you must not talk about any reasoning and methods." ”

The two talked about the situation in Saibei and the situation in Saibei, Zhang Xiaowu also met such a person who likes to talk about the world for the first time, the difference between the two is almost ten years old, Li Canglan's experience is not as rich as Zhang Xiaowu, but Li Canglan Gui is reading more military books, and often quotes scriptures and witty words when talking about how to fight. The more the two chatted, the happier they became, and the more they chatted, the happier they became, as if they had not seen each other for many years.

Li Canglan is able to trust some people, but he is cold to others, so he does not have many friends, and he does not disdain to associate with those he despises.

Subsequently, the two talked about the battles in history, Zhang Xiaowu, as a traveler, did not know much about the famous battles in the history of the Shenghan Dynasty, and Li Canglan learned civil and military knowledge since he was a child, so he talked to him. Li Canglan was particularly interested in the Battle of the Birch River, which led to the annihilation of the Xuanwu Army, and in the end, the Xuanwu Army did not regain its former glory.

"If I am the commander of Xuanwu and fight against the water, how can I negotiate with the enemy." Li Canglan said angrily, "The 100,000 Xuanwu army was buried alive by General Cheng. ”

"The Xuanwu Legion has not been rebuilt so far?"

"Speaking of which, it's not that it can't be rebuilt, it's who the legion will hand over after rebuilding." Li Canglan said, "That's because the power of the Xuanwu Army cannot be easily handed over to anyone, and if the military power is contested, the Xuanwu Army might as well not be built." ”

Zhang Xiaowu thought about it, it turned out that the Xuanwu Army had not been rebuilt for 20 years, and it was really surprising that there was such a reason. It's not that the military is incompetent, it's that there is an imbalance of power, and even the balance of power is far more important than the rebuilding of the army. However, the Xuanwu Army did not rebuild, but the treasury was restored a lot, and the current military salary expenditure is half of what it was five years ago.

"In the final analysis, money is the foundation of the army's existence." Li Canglan said helplessly.

The two chatted while drinking, from noon to evening, and from evening to evening, and finally drank two jars of wine late at night, and both of them were drunk. Li Canglan's alcohol consumption is extraordinary, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaowu to drink even more, in fact, in Ghost Guard, except for Hu Li, who is not drunk in a thousand cups, Zhang Xiaowu's alcohol consumption is the strongest.

And after drinking, that's when it's time to tell the truth.
