Chapter 659: Rip-off
Obviously, he didn't intend to give Li Xinchen another chance to say more, and then Xu Shanxin said in a deep voice:
"General, two thousand soldiers and horses are definitely impossible, Jiankang Mansion can't find such a big place as a barracks now, and the general rashly led two thousand soldiers and horses to the capital, this is ······ Something seems wrong. ”
Li Xinchen suddenly frowned: "Xu Jun's words are wrong, it's not that I haven't been to Jiankang Mansion, although there are not many barracks, but there are a lot of open spaces outside the city, and it is enough for the army to camp in the camp, these soldiers have long been used to sleeping in the open air, and there are not so many requirements." And ······ It is His Majesty's will to lead his troops to Jiankang Mansion to be reviewed by His Majesty, how can Xu Jun call it 'rash'? ”
Hearing what Li Xinchen said, Xu Shanxin's face turned red all of a sudden, if there was a basin of water in front of him at this time, Xu Shanxin might not be able to help but directly pick it up and splash it on Li Xinchen's body, I have seen shameless, I have never seen such shamelessness.
What's more, after Li Xinchen finished saying this, he still had a sincere and incomprehensible look on his face, which made people speechless. It is normal for people to pretend to be confused, and to crawl around in the officialdom is just a skill that must be learned and mastered.
But pretending to be confused and then clearly telling others that you actually know everything, that is, you want to get along with you, it is a bit excessive.
Xu Shanxin clenched his fists and looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and wanted to scold in his heart. is already the identity of the feudal official, how can he not understand these simple truths. You can't be ignorant of the imperial court's jealousy and vigilance against you Li Xinchen, not to mention how many catties and taels the imperial court forbidden army has, you must also know in your heart, with two thousand soldiers and horses, do you really think that the imperial court does not have enough barracks?
This is just a step that Xu Shanxin kindly found for you, not only did you not leave, but also stepped on two feet, which is a bit excessive.
And Gu Yewang also looked at Li Xinchen worriedly, he didn't know what Li Xinchen's purpose was in doing this, but he also knew that he still didn't say anything well at this time.
After being silent for a long time, Xu Shanxin said helplessly: "Some subordinates have something to say more seriously, general, you are not unaware of the hardships and worries of the imperial court, now is the time for everyone to work together to deal with the Zhou people in the north, and the general will inevitably deliberately embarrass the imperial court······"
Li Xinchen's hand lightly tapped on the table, and I have to say that Xu Shanxin still has two strokes, and this time he stood on the commanding heights of morality. And Li Xinchen said unhurriedly: "The painstaking efforts of the imperial court can be understood, and the worries of the imperial court must be clear, but as a courtier of the imperial court, of course Li still attaches importance to the imperial court, in this way, a certain is willing to take the initiative to give in, I don't know if Xu Jun thinks a thousand soldiers and horses are still suitable?" ”
Xu Shanxin gritted his teeth, he knew that the bottom line of the imperial court was one thousand, and this thousand actually included Li Xinchen's sailors and personal guards, but judging from Li Xinchen's tone, these were obviously not among them, because Li Xinchen had no intention of discussing with Xu Shanxin how many personal guards and how many warships he carried.
Seeing that Xu Shanxin was still embarrassed, Li Xinchen hurriedly said: "Okay, eight hundred, this time it can't be less." ”
Gu Yewang and Xu Shanxin looked up at Li Xinchen at the same time, and at this time they felt that Li Xinchen's face did not look like a feudal official of the imperial court at all, but like a traitorous businessman bargaining in the market.
Gu Yewang just looked like he was watching a play, while Xu Shanxin sighed secretly.
He never expected Li Xinchen to behave like a selfless hero, and now it seems that Li Xinchen even called him a hero, and he should be called a traitor.
There was a traitorous male Cao Cao in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and now it seems that Da Chen is going to produce a traitorous male Li Xinchen.
Of course, Li Xinchen didn't know that Xu Shanxin was slandering him in his stomach - even if he knew, he would laugh at it, after all, I don't know how many people scolded Li Xinchen behind his back every day, and it was not his turn Xu Shanxin to be in front. At that moment, he changed to a distressed look, stretched out his hand to touch his chest, and his voice was full of shame:
"I have a lot of meritorious soldiers in Bashu, and I can't bring them all to Jiankang Mansion, it's really incompetent!"
Seeing Li Xinchen sighing there in a serious manner, Gu Yewang could only hold back a smile and lower his head, but his shoulders were constantly twitching. The old man has been up and down for so many years, and it is really the first time I have seen such an angry scene that reverses black and white, and I can only be glad that he is on Li Xinchen's side now, otherwise even if he is so angry that his face is pale, he doesn't know how to refute.
Xu Shanxin could only smile bitterly, and said stubbornly: "The general loves the hearts of the soldiers, and the world learns from the truth, but the reality is often unsatisfactory, and the general still understands." ”
Li Xinchen sighed and nodded solemnly: "Loyalty and righteousness can't be both, so what's the matter." ”
The corners of Xu Shanxin's mouth twitched, and he could only nod in cooperation.
And Gu Yewang coughed lightly at this time: "General, please rest assured, although not all soldiers can enter Beijing to accept His Majesty's review, but presumably this honor, the soldiers who follow the general can feel it, and Your Majesty will definitely not hesitate to reward at that time, maybe let the general talk and express his feelings." This is not without precedent throughout the ages, and considering the hardships of the general, His Majesty will definitely have a lot of rewards. ”
Gu Yewang is not stupid, Li Xinchen asked him to come over not to let him watch the excitement, since he happened to talk about this matter, then he might as well help Li Xinchen add another fire.
"It can only be like this," Li Xinchen realized and waved his hand directly, "I can only hope that Your Majesty can properly solve this problem at that time, otherwise how can a certain reckless man appease so many people's hearts?" ”
At this time, Xu Shanxin finally understood what Li Xinchen wanted to do, and his face was already blue and white. This guy simply wants to take this opportunity to empty the white wolf again and get the reward of the imperial court.
It is an honor for the army to enter Beijing to accept His Majesty's review, and generally the imperial court will only reward some wine and meat as a reward, but this time it seems that Li Xinchen is not a little wine and meat that can be passed away, this guy's appetite is big.
And Li Xinchen didn't care about Xu Shanxin's changing expression, and said with a smile: "Xu Jun has been here in Bashu for some time, and he is not a person in the clouds, so he must also know that this is not easy to create in Bashu, so naturally he will not hesitate to mention this matter in the chapter." Then there will be a lot of Lao Xujun. ”
Xu Shanxin already understood that he was in a trap at this time, but it was not so easy to struggle out, once he objected, the charge of looking down on the soldiers of the Bashu campaign would be deducted on his head, not to mention that he could leave Bashu, even those Li Xinchen's personal guards outside the door were probably thinking about when to do it themselves.
