After returning to Chengdu, Li Xiaofei was about to return to Xiangyang, but was stopped by Yu Ziyuan: "Li Dashuai, you'd better take someone to the southern Qiqi County in person, otherwise you will have to bother you to lead an expedition in the future!" ”

Li Xiaofei looked at Liu Mingge, Liu Mingge drank tea: "Don't beat my mind, I'm waiting for you in Chengdu, I didn't go to Wuhou Temple last time to worship seriously, this time I have to do this big thing!" ”

Yu Ziyuan smiled: "Could it be that without Mr. Liu, Li Dashuai won't dare to go out?" ”

"It doesn't exist, I, Li Xiaofei, can still go to the house alone!"

"You said it yourself, if you can't do it over there, don't come back!" Liu Mingge showed a wicked smile

"But I'll have to bring some men along!" Li Xiaofei is actually quite weak-minded

"Whoever you bring, you can pick it yourself, even if you take it all"

Li Xiaofei thought for a while, it was impossible to take them all, and pondered again: "Okay, it's enough for me to bring three hundred people over!" ”

Before leaving, Liu Mingge specially told Li Xiaofei the story of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Shu: "Remember, attack the heart first, don't come hard!" ”

Li Xiaofei walked with 300 people all the way for half a month before he arrived at Qiqi County, but found that this Qiqi County was occupied by a group of natives. There is no banner of the girder at all, and there are no officials and soldiers of the girder here.

"Isn't this the county of Qiqi? When did it become the border city of King Li? "Li Xiaofei also inquired before he came, this is the old Qiqi County Governor's Office, but I didn't expect it to become a border city of King Li.

It can be seen that the imperial court's rule over the southwest side is in vain, and many officials greeted Li Xiaofei in Jiangyang before, but in fact, these officials have not arrived at all and have been staying in Jiangyang.

"It's been two years, and King Li from the east has conquered here, so go back" The person who spoke was clearly Han Chinese, and it seemed that the voice was still from the north

"This brother, can you take us to meet your King Li?"

"Unfortunately, King Li only came to patrol once in half a year, and he just left three days ago, if you want to see him, I'm afraid you will have to wait for another half a year!"

"This county is owned by my big beam, Lord Li, just take it down!" The accompanying Qi Taishou Meng Shu was on the side and instigated

"Let's face the reality, Meng Taishou, now this is someone's border city, as for why it has become someone's border city, I think you know better than me!" Li Xiaofei glared at Meng Shui

"This, the border people are in turmoil, it happens from time to time, and this so-called King Li is also made up by them! As long as our army is overwhelmed, we will be able to recover it! ”

"Master Meng, take a good look, are these crossbows and shields made up?" Li Xiaofei was so angry that he even had the idea of cutting Meng Shui

"Yes, yes, I could see that something was wrong with them!" Meng Shu's words turned extremely fast

"Don't get too close to the city defenses, or we'll release the arrows!" The soldiers defending the city shouted

"Stand back! We're not here to fight, guys, don't get me wrong. We just want to meet King Lai! As he spoke, Li Xiaofei's army retreated neatly, and Li Xiaofei stood alone in front and bowed with his hands clenched into fists

"You Central Plains people can only use magic to oppress us, you have this heart!" The city still refused Li Xiaofei's request

Meng Shui gloated a little: "Lord Li, you see, it doesn't make sense with them, it's better to go back and raise the army to recover it!" ”

"Retreat! Walk! Li Xiaofei glared at Meng Shui, and then ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

When Li Xiaofei was retreating, he met a few natives with bamboo baskets on their backs, and when the natives saw that it was the Central Plains army, they ran away.

Li Xiaofei asked Meng Shui: "How did you treat them?" There must be a reason why we run when we encounter us! ”

Meng Shu was proud: "This is all due to the divine power of the Celestial Empire, the local people have no knowledge, of course they are afraid!" ”

"Do you think Ben Shuai has never seen the natives? The natives he met on the way to Laiba County were drinking with us! Li Xiaofei was a little annoyed

Meng Shu saw that Li Xiaofei was not easy to fool, so he lowered his head and whispered: "Li Dashuai doesn't know, since the founding of Taizu, the imperial court has adopted a policy to deal with these natives!" There is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, where will there be a drinking and happy thing? ”

"The strategy of reducing the number of dings? Reduced Din? Did we kill them all? Li Xiaofei asked

"No, at that time, the imperial court's policy of reducing the number of men was to levy half of the men from the tribes of the natives to the north every three years to defend the north, so that there were more women and fewer men, and they had no ability to farm, hunt or want to be soldiers!"

"In that case, why are there still so many natives to occupy the city?"

"The imperial court's policy of reducing the number of people is no problem, but it can't stand the increase in the number of displaced people from all over the Central Plains to run here, and the people of the Central Plains ran to the native tribe and taught them a lot of things, and they also regarded themselves as natives against the imperial court!"

"In this way, in fact, the so-called Turen now is just the name of the Turen, and in fact, they are all similar to our Central Plains people?"

"That's right, so, it's not easy to deal with, only your own people know their weaknesses and strengths!"

These words came out of Meng Shu's mouth, although it was not very comprehensive, but at least he knew that he could communicate with the natives.

Three hundred men found a place on higher ground, erected shacks, dug a few holes, and set up a camp.

Li Xiaofei couldn't sleep, so he walked around alone, thinking about what Liu Mingge said, and thinking about what Meng Shu said during the day, and began to have an idea in his heart.

After dawn the next day, Li Xiaofei took his men and horses to the gate of Qiqi County to call the door, and this time Li Xiaofei put out all the gold leaves he carried.

Sure enough, the natives at the head of the city did not release any more arrows this time, but sent people out of the city to meet Li Xiaofei.

Gold and silver are better than anything else, Li Xiaofei sighed, and followed the people into the city.

Li Xiaofei's subordinates stayed outside the city and waited, and the clothes on the back of An Cheng, the 100-person general of the 300-person team, were already soaked.

In case Li Xiaofei makes a mistake, even if the hundred people of his guards have a hundred heads, it will not be enough to cut off. Li Xiaofei agreed with him to come back before the third watch tonight, and asked him to wait outside the city for the third watch.

Li Xiaofei followed him into the city and met King Li.

King Li looked Li Xiaofei up and down: "The Taishou sent by the Liang State this time is really young, I think you also have the guts, you dare to come alone!" ”

Li Xiaofei slowly took out the big seal from his arms and handed it to King Li: "King Li, it's unfortunate that the contemptible person is the Taifu of Daliang and the Marshal of Zhengxi!" ”

King Li took the big seal, wiped his little eyes, touched the long beard on his chin again, and smiled with a red face: "It seems that he is old and clumsy, and he is really a hero out of a young man!" Dare to ask for your name? ”

"Under Li Xiaofei, I came to meet King Li!" Li Xiaofei clenched his fists and bowed

King Li handed the big seal back to Li Xiaofei, and then looked at a maid beside him, the maid nodded, and King Li said, "Mrs. Li didn't come here to want to go back to Qiqi County with an empty white tooth, right?" ”

"No, as long as this county is safe and sound, within my Liang territory, respect my Liang Tianzi, whoever governs it will be the same!"

King Li looked at the maid again, and the maid coughed

, King Li continued: "We have always respected the Son of Heaven of Daliang, and Taifu Li does not need to doubt this."

"Haha, King Li, your maid is not simple, and she is not a liar. If you really respect the Son of Heaven of Daliang, you must first accept the canonization of Daliang and pay tribute to Daliang! It's not a promise to be able to count! ”

King Li was stunned for a moment, and the maid rushed to the front: "Master Li, what a pair of discerning eyes!" To tell you the truth, there are not only King Li here, but also dozens of kings of all sizes, such as the Barbarian King, the King of Mao, the King of Chai, etc.! Can you be canonized? ”

"Presumably, these royal titles of yours were also canonized by others, and you are just guarding the city for others! Please let the master behind you come to see me! ”

"You are not qualified, my master is noble, not for you to see!" The maid's tone was a little stiff

"Has this girl ever heard of Yerou's arrogance?"

"I advise you, Lord Li, not to be unsightly! Annoyed me, I'll cut you down! ”

"I'm afraid the girl doesn't have the right to dispose of me! You, like this King of Li, are just at the behest of your master. Your master's delay in showing up is nothing more than an attempt to test me. So I just didn't hide it and told you all my thoughts! ”

The maid did not rush to respond, but thought for a moment: "Well, in that case, I can only take you to our master!" ”

"Slow, I have to go out of the city to meet my subordinates first, otherwise I haven't gone back after the third watch, and they will forcibly attack the city!"

The maid and King Li sent Li Xiaofei out of the city one after another, and An Cheng almost cried when he saw Li Xiaofei come out safe and sound.

"An Cheng, you take your brothers and continue to camp in yesterday's camp! I'm going to meet the guests for a while! ”

"Master Li, haven't you already been there? This? ”

"Don't worry, if they want to harm me, they won't wait until now! What's more, if a high-ranking official of the imperial court dies here, the consequences are not something they can bear! They are not really natives, and they know what's at stake! ”

Li Xiaofei followed the maid and King Li into the city after some explanation, Li Xiaofei looked at the buildings and pedestrians in the city and asked, "Where did the original people in this city go?" ”

"The people of this city are our people and relatives! Do you think that we love to slaughter cities and villages as much as you do? The maid was a little dismissive

"Well, there are indeed such scum in the Central Plains, but I, Li Xiaofei, am not!"

"It's hard to say, for hundreds of years, the original natives here have been driven by you to more remote places to hide, and the people who came from the Central Plains have been forced by you to be natives, and they want to reduce Ding and pay tribute!" The maid was gritting her teeth

"Could it be that your current master doesn't want you to pay tribute? Or is he more ruthless than those who have oppressed you? Li Xiaofei said sarcastically

"The current master doesn't want us to pay tribute, but he also brings us a lot of seeds, teaches us to farm, as long as we guard the walled city, the master's only condition is that we transport all the big trees on the mountain to him!"

"Golden Silk Nanmu! Isn't it? Li Xiaofei suddenly remembered that he had bought golden silk nanmu

"How do you know? The tree is so heavy that we cut it down and send it out by sending it out by sending it out by sending it out by sending it out! The maid was also surprised

Li Xiaofei was about to explain, but when he thought about it, if he revealed that the mysterious person used them to cut down the golden silk nanmu and transport it to the Central Plains to sell it to make money, I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to go back alive. So he swallowed back the words that came to his lips

"I've heard it too, and it seems that your new master is really good! He is a great good man! ”
