"This pot is a good pot, the tea is a good tea, and the water is also specially taken from the snow mountain for 10,000 years of ice and snow melt water."

If others are said by Zhang Shanfu to say "like to enjoy happiness", I am afraid that they will have to defend themselves a few sentences, Li Sihai is not only taboo, but like a treasure, he added firewood to the fire, and fanned the flames with the hem of his military robe, while regretting it: "It's a pity that this can't get gold charcoal." After the tea was cooked, he wrapped the handle around his cuffs and poured a full cup for Zhang Shanfu.

The other officers sat far away, some whispering, others stomping their feet to keep warm.

Zhang Shanfu is known for his prestige, and no one can sit in front of the general as calmly and eloquently talk like Li Sihai.

"Dude, what do you call it?" A man came to the pile of officers in the marching division, "Trouble get out of the way, make a fire ......"

"I am Yao Wu, the tenth captain of the West Sea Division." As he spoke, the man took off his footcloth, roasted it on the fire with a twig, and stretched his bare feet to the fire, "Damn, it's only September, and it's all frozen." In two more months, my feet will freeze. I have a couple of thick Turkic footwraps, do you want them, they are very cheap, absolutely warm! As he spoke, a strange smell suddenly emanated, and the officer of the marching division unconsciously twitched his cheeks twice, frowning, but this person didn't notice it, while roasting his feet, he looked at Zhang Shanfu and Li Sihai, and laughed in a low voice, "I think General Zhang treats people very kindly, why do you people sit far away?" ”

"This hustle." The officers of the marching division exchanged glances, and they were all a little helpless. Xiucai meets soldiers, and that's it.

"Marching Sima Liu Qianshan." After the officers of the marching division squeezed their eyebrows for a while, Liu Qianshan replied with a smile.

"If you think it's crowded here, you can go over there. The Admiral was very kind. He pointed to a dozen steps away, it was the fire where Li Sihai and Zhang Shanfu were baking, and the officers of the marching division tacitly exchanged glances, guessing whether this muddy person would be fooled, who knew that Yao Wu's eyes rolled, and laughed: "It's such a cold day, it's still crowded and warm here." He paused for a moment and asked very sincerely, "Don't you really want a Turkic footcloth?" Sold to you at 20% of Kangguo's market price? With that, he took out a thick footcloth from his baggage. Liu Qianshan and others had nothing to do left and right, seeing that these footcloths were very densely woven, and the embroiderers looked Persian, the patterns were very delicate, and they were also a little moved, so they took it and bargained while watching.

"This bastard has made a fortune again!" Li Sihai saw this scene and couldn't help laughing and scolding.

"Oh?" Zhang Shanfu took a sip of hot tea, looked over to take it, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Okay, don't make a noise, just help me teach this group of kids behind closed doors." He had been on the horse for a long time, and he knew that when the sergeants were cleaning the battlefield, some of them would not even let go of the footwraps of the dead, and after peeling them off and tidying them up a little, they would be sold again. Most veterans are reluctant to ask for dead people's footcloths, and only recruits who have never been on the battlefield will be fooled. The officer of this pretended to be crazy sailor seems to be eyeing the people of the marching division.

"Yes." Li Sihai pretended to be surprised and said, "People say that the marching Sima is the favorite general of the boss, it seems that the rumors are not true!" ”

Zhang Shanfu "hummed" lightly, ignored him, put down the teacup, looked at Li Sihai, and didn't say a word for a long time.

His gaze was like substance, as if he wanted to pierce through the armor and go straight into the hearts of the people, and even a person like Li Sihai, who did not enter the oil and salt, was secretly furious in his heart. After a long time, Zhang Shanfu sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "The Baiyi Dynasty was originally an ally of our dynasty, since the fall of Baghdad, the Sultan of Roma occupied the magpie's nest, and the Baiyi Dynasty was prosperous in the old days, and everything was like a bubble. In the past few years, our dynasty has been back and forth with the Turkic army, and on the territory of Baiyi, the princes have either been divided and self-reliant, or attached to the Roma Turks, and millions of Baiyi people have been displaced...... What are your thoughts? ”

"My thoughts?" A cold light flashed in Li Sihai's eyes, and he immediately disappeared and returned to the appearance of hob meat.

"I'm a little Admiral of the West Sea Division, General Quan, what can I think, the boss asked the wrong person, right?"

"Who do you ask?" Zhang Shanfu didn't mean to let it go gently, and put the teacup in front of Li Sihai.

When Li Sihai poured water and poured tea, Zhang Shanfu said slowly, "A hundred and fifty years ago, the country's share humerus, the king of kings, His Majesty Adulydhaulai established the Baiyi Dynasty, and later, in the middle of the Dinghe River, the founding emperor sent his righteous son, Bowang Marquis Li Lang to envoy Baiyi, and as a result, Li Hou married back the princess of the kings, and the Li family and the Baiyi Dynasty have since become good marriages, and our dynasty has made an alliance with Baiyi to support each other for a hundred years. It's a pity that in the past hundred years, our dynasty has laid a solid foundation in the river, and the country is thriving, but the Baiyi Dynasty is declining, and the national government is declining, and finally it was destroyed by the Rom Turks, and the descendants of the king of kings have also been killed by the Sultan of Rom, and there is no successor ......" He raised his head and looked at Li Sihaidao, "Bowangfu and Baiyi Dynasty have been in-laws for generations, and you have the blood of the king of kings in your body. The people of Baiyi can also be said to be your people. I asked you what you think, but did you ask the wrong question? ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Li Sihai smiled and said in a deep voice, "You might as well say it explicitly." ”

"In the Western Expedition, it is easy to win a time, a city, and a battle, but it is difficult to win the entire war."

Zhang Shanfu looked at Li Sihai and said calmly: "After the Sultan of Rom stole the orthodoxy of the Great Food Dynasty, he sent a conscription officer to walk around the Great Food Tribe, and promised to pull out hundreds of thousands of horsemen. At war with our dynasty, all the Great Eclipse princes are his potential allies. On the other hand, even if we defeat them, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not rebel. Therefore, the first key to the Roman-Turkic war was to cut off the branches and leaves. Otherwise, we will lose too much, and if the Sultan of Rûm is more cunning, there will be no hope of ending the war in the short term. Zhang Shanfu took a wooden stick and pulled the pyre, making the fire burn more vigorously, "Judging from the experience of the past hundred years, if the war drags on for a long time, the Protectorate will definitely quarrel endlessly." Therefore, we need a great lord in the name of an alliance, preferably with an orthodoxy, to draw them away from the Sultan of Rûm, in the name of allegiance, rather than surrender to our dynasty, the subjects of Bai Yi are more willing to accept, to put it simply," he put down his stick and looked at Li Sihaedao, "a new one, the king of kings......"

"King of kings?! ......”

Li Sihai looked at Zhang Shanfu in surprise, the water in the teapot was boiling, and there was silence between the two for a while.

"My lord has found the wrong person," Li Sihai sneered, "I am a descendant of the Li family, and I would rather be a Chinese citizen than a foreign king." ”

"Really?" Zhang Shanfu looked at him, shook his head and said, "Back then, the founding emperor allowed the in-laws of Bowanghou and Baiyi Dynasty, and the emperors and the five mansions were not jealous of the Li family, so how can there be a distinction between China and foreign countries?" In addition to the blood of the Li family, you also have the blood of the king of kings. Your ancestors, your mother, were princesses of the Baiyi Dynasty, and you watched her subjects being driven by the Romani Turks, and watched them fight against our dynasty on the battlefield until they were slaughtered? He looked at Li Sihai, who was silent, and said, "The founding of the Marquis of Bowang," Zhang Shanfu paused, and said in a low voice, "You don't have to worry, the Protectorate Mansion will agree to Li Yong's succession to the title, and Your Majesty and Liu Xiang will both speak in this matter, but ,......" He looked at Li Sihai, who was a little moved, "If you want, Liu Xiang and I want you to make a promise, so that we can convince the captains of the Protectorate Mansion in the future." ”

"Convince the Protectorate?" Li Sihai seemed to think of something, and said with a wry smile, "General Zhang, I am marching westward to the country, working hard and mobilizing the people, and the captains of the Protectorate Mansion are still looking forward to splitting the soil and sealing it!" What are you asking me to come out now to be the 'king of kings,' didn't you roast me on the fire? He shook his head, "Or let me take on the title of 'King of Kings' in Raushzi, but in fact, secretly cut the flesh with a blunt knife, and slowly sell Bai Yi's subjects and territory to the Protectorate?" This is a deceptive errand, and Li is difficult to obey...... I would rather die on the battlefield and add a clean and clean heroic table to the lintel of the Li Mansion. The general, please forgive Li, it is difficult to obey his fate! ”

"Deception?" Zhang Shanfu seemed to be smiling, looking at Li Sihai and said, "Where do you start with this?" ”

Although Li is useless, he accompanied Lin Quan when he was a child, and was ordered by His Majesty to mention that people cannot stand without faith. As a master, do not fail your subordinates. A king, not a people. Li Sihai looked directly at Zhang Shanfu and changed his normal attitude, "Therefore, it is difficult for Li to obey his fate." ”

Zhang Shanfu stared at Li Sihai, did not reprimand, nor brushed his sleeves away, but as if he was reestimating this person's character, the atmosphere seemed a little dull, and after a while, he finally said: "You think too much." Since you said that people do not stand without faith and persuade the protectorate, I only need you to make a promise. He watched Li Sihai's face change, and thought to himself, "This son is not a thing in the pool, let him be the 'king of kings' to collect the Great Food Princes, and the future will be ...... trouble, however, Bai Yi's subjects and the Great Food Princes are not fools, if he is just a puppet or a mediocre person, how can he return to his heart." If Bai Yi's hearts cannot be stabilized, it will be difficult for the river to be peaceful. Anyway, there is no such thing as both. As long as we can stabilize the river, our dynasty can seize the great opportunity in the east, after the annexation of Liao and the Song Dynasty, the soldiers will turn back to the west, this kid has a great ability, manage the dilapidated Baiyi homeland, can he sit big enough to be the enemy of our dynasty? ”

Li Sihai had a bonfire in his eyes and remained silent.

Although Zhang Shanfu didn't want him to be the most puppet, he wanted him to make a promise. As long as this promise satisfies the Protectorate in the future, he can be helped to become the new "King of Kings". didn't say what he wanted him to promise, it was already a test. This is exactly what the saying goes, people cannot stand without faith. If a person has no faith, anything can be forged, and even a written covenant is like waste paper, but rather a promise. There are too many promises, groveling ministers and the like, not only Li Sihai can't do it, but Liu Yi and Zhang Shanfu don't believe it at all. If the commitment is too small, Liu Yi and Zhang Shanfu will not be satisfied, let alone meet the requirements of the captains of the Protectorate Mansion.
