"Prince Jiancheng really didn't let the soldiers go into the city to grab food?" Li Fengying listened to what Jin Lao said, and said with a look of surprise on his face, "But he obviously defeated you." ”

"Yes," Jin Lao smiled slightly, "he could have allowed the soldiers to loot, but he didn't." Not only that, but also opened the official warehouse to release grain. My attitude towards Li Tang began to change at that time. ”

"The people take food as the sky, and the prince thinks about the people like this, presumably many local people should take the initiative to follow him." Lee Bong-young said.

"You're smart." Jin Lao laughed and said: "Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world." This principle is easy to understand, but when it comes to putting it into practice, there are very few things that can be done. After a pause, he said, "In the troubled times, the heroes rise together, and in the final analysis, there are only two passers-by." The poor and the rich. The poor are oppressed, they toiled all day long but had no food and clothing, and they raised troops to live. The rich enjoy the glory and wealth, but the troubled times are turbulent, and the deer losers can't take care of themselves, so how can the princes watch it? For the sake of a right word. Although the causes of the two are different, the effects are the same. ”

"Exactly, the rich get up, but they scatter their wealth and recruit troops. Although the momentum is great, most of them are people who are greedy for wealth and glory. For a while, it was included in the command, but it was just for the sake of wealth and profit. And when the poor rise up, they often have nothing to worry about, but just want to survive. Such a condensed army may have been weak and small in the early days, but it will one day be able to achieve great things. Li Fengying thought about what Li Jiancheng had done, and she already had a slight affection for this person in her heart. So he said, "But Tang Guogong Li Yuan belongs to the former, and finally enjoys the world, but I don't know why?" ”

"This is the charm of heroes in troubled times." Jin Lao sighed and said, "If you talk about strong soldiers and strong horses, Dou Jiande, Zhai Rang, which one is not a hundred times stronger than Li Tang." When it comes to conquering cities, Li Mi and Du Fuwei are also well-known generals. The Great Sui is thousands of miles away, and it is impossible for anyone to fall into the hands of him Li Tang. But he just became like this, uniting the Turks, taking Chang'an, leveling Li Mi, and destroying Dou Jiande, as if the story had already been written, just waiting for someone to read him out according to the book. When he said this, he was slightly stunned, and said, "Mo is not Mo no, Mo is not", and the two Mo are not, but they are silent. Li Fengying saw that Jin Lao stopped, but he didn't want to ask again, just stood quietly on his side, waiting for him to speak again.

After a while, Jin Lao Fang muttered, "I see, I thought he was crazy, but now it seems that this is really the case." Although he was talking to himself like this, he paused for a moment, but skipped not mentioning it, and just continued, "It's been a long time since I saw him again. ”

After a long time

"Mr. Jin, don't come unharmed." The night snow will stop, and a black shadow on the wall will flash by, and there will be one more person under the porch. The man was dressed in black, carrying two jugs of wine, and took off his mask, it was none other than Li Jiancheng.

"General Jiancheng?" Jin Lao was reading a book, although he had already heard the movement outside the wall, but he only thought it was an ordinary thief in his heart, and he didn't take it to heart, at this time, he listened to the other party's mouth, he was slightly stunned, turned around, and saw that it was Li Jiancheng, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, "Aren't you fighting with Dou Jiande?" How do you have time to come here? "Since the battle that day, Li Jiancheng spared the food of the people in the city, Jin Lao's impression of this team has changed greatly, so he has also sent people to inquire about the battle situation in many ways. He knew that Li Tang was fighting with Dou Jiande's army at this time, so he was puzzled and asked, "Isn't there an accident in Taiyuan?" ”

"Not really." Li Jiancheng saw that Jin Lao was not wary of himself, and his face was very happy, so he did not hide it, and said with a smile, "I lost a fight with people on the front line, go back and move some rescuers." ”

"Oh? This is interesting? I can't imagine that there is anyone in this world who can defeat Li Jiancheng, the capital governor of the left army of Longxi Gongzuo? When Jin Lao heard that Li Jiancheng was defeated, he couldn't help but be very surprised, but in his surprise, he couldn't help but tease him and said, "Isn't it that you are also arrogant, condensing your sword with qi on the battlefield, and as a result, you have slapped your face in life?" ”

"Seniors, don't laugh at me." Although the two of them only have a one-sided relationship, they have been friends for a long time, and when they meet at this time, they are like close friends, and they don't see each other. Li Jiancheng laughed, threw the wine jug in his hand over, and said, "There is no good wine in the army, only this." ”

"Haha, how do you know I haven't drunk in days?" Jin Lao rolled up his sleeves and took it, flicked his fingers to the pot stopper, sniffed it in front of his nose, and couldn't help but praise it and said, "It's so fragrant." It's really hungry for me. "It turns out that at this time at the end of the year and the beginning of spring, although every household has food, but still can't eat, the wine shops in the city have long been closed, and everyone is unwilling to use grain to make wine, so here you want to drink but you really can't." Delicious! Jin Lao took a sip, his face was already slightly flushed, and he only heard him ask, "Tell me quickly, who hit you?" Do you want me to be angry for you, old man? ”

"The old gentleman is too bad for drinking." The two chatted for a while, and Li Jiancheng saw that he had only drunk a few sips, and his face had turned red, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "If I send someone to deliver two carts of fine wine on his day, won't the old gentleman be drunk to death?" As he spoke, he sat down next to Jin Lao and said, "Although Dou Jiande has millions of people, I am not afraid now." It's just that he has a pianist under him, his name and surname are unknown, and his kung fu is really powerful. It is usually used not as a sword, but as a guqin. It's strange to say, the piano struck the strings into a sword, the most terrifying, a few days ago he was alone, killing nearly 10,000 of our soldiers. So much so that now the sergeants are talking about the tiger's color, the morale of the army is low, and the war with Dou Jiande has to be suspended. ”

"With such great kung fu?" Jin Lao was slightly stunned and said, "Listen to what you said, it is somewhat similar to my kung fu." As he spoke, he pointed out, only to hear a bang, and a small hole had been pierced by the invisible sword qi on the pillar of the porch in front of the door.

"I'm afraid it's too much." Li Jiancheng shook his head slightly and said, "How far can the old man shoot with this move?" ”

"Shoot a strong cow in twenty steps." Jin Lao said slightly proudly.

"The trick used by the violinist is like splitting grass and trees at a distance of a hundred steps." Li Jiancheng said, "Such a powerful move, it is you and me, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compete." ”

"It's really true" Jin Lao couldn't help but be deeply surprised when he heard Li Jiancheng say this, thinking that he really had never seen the world extensively, so that he sat in the well and watched the sky like this, and Yelang was arrogant. "And what are you going to do?"

"There are no heroes on the battlefield, only victory and defeat." Li Jiancheng said, "I originally thought that I would use medicine to numb this person, but he is cautious by nature, and ordinary poisons are too risky. It just so happened that I had a friend who was a pharmacist, and I met him by chance in Taiyuan, and he said that he could give me a colorless and tasteless prescription, so that people would be unconscious after eating it, and after ten days, their internal strength would be completely lost, and their whole body would be in pain, and if there was no antidote, they would have to use human blood to relieve the pain. ”

"This medicine sounds really vicious, but the war is persecuting, and it can only be like this, otherwise I am afraid that you will have more casualties." Hearing that he was going to be poisoned, Jin Lao couldn't help frowning slightly, but when he thought of the ruthlessness of the war, he didn't say much, and only said, "I thought that medicine was going to be brought but I didn't carry it in Taiyuan, and now you are going back to get the medicine, right?" ”

"Exactly." Li Jiancheng said.
