The words "national hatred and family hatred" are very tragic, but if you take it apart, it will be very difficult. On the one hand, there is the trend of righteousness, on the other hand, there is an obsession that cannot be let go, righteousness and hatred are intertwined, and the choice made is so difficult.

Cao Yu's expression was very calm, and he couldn't see how much he struggled, the former Zhenguan two-year jinshi, and now the history of Yizhou Thorn, a scholar, when he put on an official robe, sat in the Ming Hall, and looked down at the people in the hall, he was no longer a pure scholar, there were rules for being an official, and he had to know how to weigh and compromise, even if he didn't understand these, at least he should be happy and angry on the surface.

Li Su couldn't see anything from Cao Yu's expression, but he was very patient, and he was patient because of his self-confidence.

I have come to Xizhou for many days, here is a desolate desert, but also the most direct and bloody place, the so-called graceful and subtle here is no market at all, the northwest rough man style is popular, Li Su gradually got used to the style of doing things here, and also learned this style perfectly, the last time the market killed people was a small test, the effect was remarkable.

It's good to go straight, you don't have to think too much about it, it's cool for everyone to hook up and make a friend, and if you don't feel good, you can simply get the white knife in and out of the red knife, here, whoever holds the knife in his hand has the right to speak.

Therefore, Cao Yu's attitude is very important to Li Su, but it is not too important, Cao Yu chose to abandon personal grievances, and it is naturally better to join hands with Li Su to fight the enemy, if Cao Yu still can't let go of the grievances between the two, he chooses to continue to fight with Li Su. Put aside the matter of life and death in the city, then Li Su will naturally not be too polite to him. Let's kill him first.

A madman who dares to kill thirteen officials in one breath will never mind killing one more assassin.

At present, Xizhou first needs a commander who orders a door, and a team that works together, and infighting is the way to death, so Li Su came to the Assassin's Mansion today, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. But with a bit of domineering strength, Cao Yu was forced to make a choice, and Cao Yu's choice directly determined Li Su's choice.

Li Su proposed to abandon the previous suspicions. After resisting the enemy together, they have been quietly waiting for Cao Yu's answer.

Cao Yu calmly lowered his head and looked at his nails, as if a beautiful flower had grown on his nails, while Li Su looked at the furnishings in the front hall of the Assassin's Mansion with great interest.

Very interesting. This Lord Assassin imposed heavy taxes on the people of Xizhou. In the past three years, a lot of people's fat and people's ointment have been looted, and the harsh government of two taxes and one has been unheard of since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and it stands to reason that after making so much money, the Assassin Mansion should be as luxurious as a palace, but what Li Su saw was full of gloom.

The courtyard was bare and not even a small sapling could be seen, and the front hall was even more cold, creaking on the wooden floor in his footsuits, which was obviously old and rotten for years. There are two calligraphy and paintings hanging in the hall book, but it is Cao Yu's own work. There are two hemp paper screens standing on the west side, the screen has turned yellow, there are actually two holes broken below, and then look at the low table in front of him, the edge of the table is quite a lot of paint off, and the four corners are worn to rough and rough, which is obviously an old object that has been used for many years.

Originally, he looked at it casually when he was bored, but the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and then he glanced at Cao Yu, who was expressionless, and then Li Su's expression fell into deep thought.

A parent official with a not good reputation, who made so much money during his tenure, but the house is like a robber who has just robbed it, is it not revealing his wealth, or is it ...... There is a junior outside the house?

Time flowed quietly and slowly, and I don't know how long it took for Cao Yu to finally speak.

"Lie Don't Drive ......"

"The lower official is here." Li Su smiled and arched his hand.

"Don't drive the army to press the border, is it too alarmist?" Cao Yu said coldly.

Li Su blinked: "Or, set up a military order?" If the countries of the Western Regions do not join forces to attack Xizhou within a few months, the lower officials are willing to send a good head......"

Cao Yu was shocked, and his eyes flashed with disbelief and surprise: "Li Beijia really wants to make this military order?" ”

"Hehe......" Li Supi didn't smile, and then his face quickly became stiff: "I don't want to." ”

Cao Yu: "............"

Li Su sneered.

You've wanted my head for a long time, haven't you? I won't let you get your wish! Go back and hide in the room and draw a small circle to curse me, is the military order set up casually? Although it is a ninety percent certainty that the alliance of all countries will attack Xizhou, there is still a small possibility that it will not come, since there is a possibility, Li Su will not take this risk, he has lived two lifetimes, what a strange life, he should cherish it.

Cao Yu sighed in disappointment, obviously not bringing Li Su into the pit made him quite embarrassed.

In the final analysis, Cao Yu didn't believe Li Su's words from the bottom of his heart, and replaced others to be alarmist in front of him, and he had already kicked him outside the city to reflect calmly, but for Li Su, Cao Yu didn't dare, not only didn't he dare, but he couldn't show his eyes as a madman on the surface, because this guy was really a madman.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Yu finally made a statement.

"Xizhou is not peaceful, in the past three years, there have been several experiences of being attacked by the enemy, each time the number of people is only a few thousand, under the command of the official's plan, there is no danger, if it is said that there will be more than 10,000 enemy troops to invade and attack Xizhou in the future, to be honest, this official does not believe it, but everything is possible, maybe Li Bei is undecided, in this not very peaceful city, this official does not dare to say too sure......"

Cao Yu spoke, his body suddenly straightened up, and his expression floated a little awe-inspiring: "Whether it is true or not, the Xizhou Assassin Mansion is the right way to work with one heart and one mind, and this official is also a Jinshi who was born in the book of sages, this simple truth The official naturally understands, at a very different time, the official is willing to put aside his personal grievances with Li Beijia and fight the enemy together, and the official and Li Beijia make a gentleman's appointment, as Li Beijia said, if the alliance of all countries attacks Xizhou, you and I will work together to defend the city defense of Xizhou, if the enemy army ...... in the future"

Cao Yu looked at Li Su's gaze a little more fiercely: "If in the future, what Li Beijia has done in Xizhou these days, this official will have to report to Chang'an, at that time, I hope that Li Beijia will not blame this official, and lead the cavalry battalion to return to Changchang and wait quietly for His Majesty to deal with." ”

Li Su's cheeks twitched.

The words were subtle, and the meaning was understood.

If the enemy army comes. Then everything is easy to say, everyone advances and retreats together to attack the enemy, if the enemy army does not come. Hurry back to Chang'an, don't block Lord Ben Thorn Shi here.

Li Su was speechless, this was really a plan, and he had a treacherous plan, the military order didn't bring him into the pit, and then he wanted to drive him back to Chang'an, he looked so handsome and graceful. is also a famous celebrity in Chang'an, why is it so unpopular in Xizhou, it will hurt the celebrity very much......

According to what Cao Thorn said. If the enemy army comes, you and I will fight the enemy with one heart and one mind, and the enemy army will not arrive, and the lower officials will return to Chang'an. Li Su happily agreed to the deal.

Cao Yu added uneasily: "Lead your cavalry back to Chang'an." ”

Li Su glanced at him. Watch out for the eyed guys!

"Good. led the cavalry back to Chang'an. ”

Cao Yu Dayue got up and walked in front of Li Su and stretched out his palm.

"Why?" Li Su frowned and looked at him.

"High fives for vows."

Li Su showed embarrassment: "No need, right?" To be honest, we don't know each other very well, this kind of too intimate contact ......"

Cao Yu was dissatisfied: "Li Beijia is not sincere? ”

"Okay......" Li Su gritted his teeth, his face showed a tragic look, and he reached out and gently struck Cao Yu's palm three times.

After the high-five, Cao Yu was completely relieved, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

In recent years, he has been guarding the border. The two Zhichong Prefectures in Xizhou are still very concerned about the countries of the Western Regions, and in the past three years, they have sent many spies to go deep into the capitals of the countries to inquire about various news. Without well-informed news channels, it is impossible for Cao Yu to hold Xizhou for three years, not to mention whether his conduct is good or bad, he can do it for three years in Xizhou, and keep the city from falling in an environment surrounded by wolves, Cao Yu has some ability after all.

In recent months, all kinds of news gathered by the spies of Zhechong Mansion show that there is no large-scale movement of troops and horses in the Western Regions, and there is no voice against Xizhou in the courts, but whenever a large army is dispatched, it is necessary to mobilize grain and grass, horses and other baggage months in advance, as well as the assembly of soldiers and horses of various departments, and the important ministers to discuss the strategy of sending troops, etc., a war will not come suddenly without warning, and there will be traces to follow, and a war without any signs and signs in advance is simply unheard of.

So Cao Yu is very proud now, he feels that he has won, in other words, Li Su is decided.

A political deal that knew each other well was closed.

Cao Yu's expression was much more relaxed, and he even showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Li Beijia, you and I have an appointment first, and since there is a covenant, we can't ...... it"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Yu suddenly paused, and then his face became ugly.

Li Su's vertical son had just high-fived him, and at this moment he was wiping his palms with a white square scarf with a disgusted face, rubbing, rubbing, like the devil......

It's too much, is this official so dirty?

"Don't drive Lee!" Cao Yu couldn't help but shout angrily, with a look of anger on his face. Insulted, hurt self-esteem.

"In, in ......" Li Su smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's too cold, rub your hands......"

The desert was as hot as a steamer in the daytime, and the shaft refused to make up an excuse seriously.

Cao Yu took a deep breath, now he just wanted to send off the guests quickly.

"Don't drive as if nothing else, then ......"

"There's something, there's something." Li Su took out a stack of papers from his arms like a trick and handed it to Cao Yu.

Cao Yu took it and glanced at it, and his brows gradually twisted.

The things written on the paper are very familiar, but they are exactly what Li Su proposed to him when he first came to Xizhou to take office, and he has not changed a word from attracting investment to recruiting troops to repairing the city wall.

"Cao Tingshi is a truly knowledgeable reader, he must know the truth of taking precautions, believe it or not is one thing to attack by foreign enemies, but since there is this statement, it must be treated as true, according to the strategy of the lower officials, whether the enemy army comes or not, it is not a bad thing for Xizhou after all. What do you say? ”

Cao Yu twisted his eyebrows and was silent, but his demeanor was different from last time, this time his demeanor was no longer perfunctory and contemptuous, Cao Yu seriously focused on this heavy strategy for the first time, seriously thinking about Li Su's every word, weighing the gains and losses of this step or not.

Looking at Cao Yu's groaning appearance, Li Su smiled.

It is still the strategy that has not changed a word at the beginning, it is still the front hall of the Assassin's Mansion, and it is still the same two people, but now and now, it is not the same as it used to be.

Less than a month after taking office in Xizhou, as he once said, the voice of his Li Su will be stopped by the entire Xizhou officials and people and listened carefully.

He did it. (To be continued......)
