Knowing that Wang Yueyao was fine, Zhu Li was relieved.

Rejecting Zhao Zilong's suggestion to send someone to follow, he and Dong Ningyang immediately entered Jinju.

Zhu Li didn't want to bring too many people, this was his trust in himself and Dong Ningyang's strength.

Moreover, this time he secretly went to Wenshan, and he believed that the more inconspicuous and low-key the better, and it was best not to have any accidents.

Jinju, the seat of Julu County in the Qin Dynasty; At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the place of governance was Quyang.

Since last year, Zhu Li took advantage of Li Keyong's ravaging Guanzhong, and kicked Li Keyong's ass from behind, making him lose the land of Wuzhou.

In history, Li Keyong, who was crusading from the east and west and plundering everywhere, is likely to lose his prestige because of Zhu Li's relationship with the late Tang Dynasty.

In Quyang City, although there are many pedestrians, the shouts of doing business are sparse and clear, which is a sign of social depression and difficult people's livelihood.

Since the First World War last year, Li Keyong sent the general Li Siyuan to sit in Gaobiling, let Li Cunxiao go out of Luzhou, and even let the famous general Fu Cunxian enter Cizhou to confront Huo Qing.

With such a defensive lineup, even if Zhu Li's troops attack Heshuo, Li Keyong has the strength to fight.

As the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together, saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

As soon as Zhu Li entered Quyang County, he met Li Keyong, a one-eyed dragon, who was standing in front of a group of scholars and young people, talking and boasting, as if he was selling something.

However, let Li Ke fly around with spittle stars and talk wildly, the young men and scholars in front of him still had a suspicious look on their faces.

When he got closer, Zhu Li knew what was going on, to be precise, this was a group of people who went north to take refuge.

At the end of March this year, the Taochuan flood was raging, and the Yellow River was seriously affected, and people fleeing from Henan and Huainan abounded.

In addition to the political turmoil, social depression, the smoke of the whole country, the war and chaos, people with lofty ideals in the world all yearn for this place in Heshuo; Some scholars, heroes, and the fleeing victims went north in groups, preparing to settle in Heshuo.

After all, at the beginning of April this year, Zhu Li, the lord of Heshuo, and Guo Qizuo, the mastermind of Heshuo, fought two battles in the northern frontier, defeated nearly 300,000 elites of Di Kou, and moved the world and shook the five mountains.

Let everyone in the world see the strength of Heshuo, as well as the fact that Wen is strong and strong.

At this time, for many people, the hesitation of the past and the reluctance to give up on their homeland should all be decided, after all, survival is the most important thing, which led to many literati and heroes resolutely embarked on the journey to the north.

However, a group of scholars and heroes were discovered by Li Keyong on the way north along Hedong Road.

To be precise, Li Keyong seems to have taken a fancy to some of this group of people; Therefore, he intercepted these people and vigorously trumpeted his exploits, hoping to attract the attention of those he liked, so that they would change their minds and stay in Jinju to work for him.

I really don't know, in Zhu Li's eyes, Li Keyong is like a pyramid scheme leader in later generations at this moment, shouting vigorously: "Selling dog skin cream, selling dog skin cream, the most promising and promising business, pass by, don't miss it; As long as you sell dog skin cream, you are guaranteed to earn tens of thousands of dollars a day and 8,000 a night, everyone will sell dog skin cream with me! Buy a house in three days, buy land in a week, and if you can sell it for a month, Boss Ma and Boss Wang will rush to be your little brother. ”

And Rick was right with demagogy

For example, those scholars and heroes are obviously the masses of later generations, and the doubts in their eyes seem to be asking: "Since selling dog skin paste is so good, why does this benevolent brother still sell it on the street?" Why do you have to hold a press conference, invite a big coffee to do an advertisement or something, this is a lie. ”

Although the times are different, the phenomena are all similar.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, but there will always be people who come forward and ask a few words, no, a scholar who is around thirty years old and has a weak face said: "Manager Li, if Hedong is as powerful as Your Excellency said, why was General Huaihua captured five states in one fell swoop last year?" ”

As the saying goes, if you don't hit people in the face, you don't scold people, this scholar doesn't have any scruples at all, and a sentence makes Li Keyong's face flush and almost run away, if it weren't for the influence of scruples, Li Ke would have made him unable to get out of Quyang.

However, who is Li Keyong, he is the head of Shatuo with the name of Hedong Jiedu Envoy, although his self-promotion is unsuccessful, there will still be a younger brother who will come out to play a round.

I saw a literati dressed in Hedong court clothes with a dignified face, and immediately stood up and explained domineeringly: "Last year, our governor was not in Taiyuan, and the Zhuli dog thief would only take advantage of the situation and ignore morality; If the governor sat in Taiyuan last year, those people in Heshuo, no matter how many people came, would not be enough to destroy. ”

This person with a dignified face is not an unknown person, this person is called Wei Shuo, he was the prime minister of Zhuang Zong, and now he is listening to Li Keyong, and his position is equivalent to Shuzuo.

At this time, a big man who looked like a bear and a tiger with a bright eye suddenly clenched his fists and interjected: "I have seen Manager Li in Xia Zhe Lun." ”

As soon as the strong man spoke, Li Ke's single eye immediately flashed with a fine light, and the look of his eyes, like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman, instantly swelled with a trace of desire, it seems that the person Li Keyong likes is this one.

And Zhu Li, who happened to be passing by here, also trembled in his heart after hearing Dahan's self-report.

When it comes to the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, people who like fierce generals will immediately think of Li Cunxiao, the Thirteenth Taibao, Wang Yanzhang and others. But if you speculate carefully according to the records, you will find that there is another person in Hedong, even if it is not as good as Li Cunxiao, it must be similar.

This person is none other than Tsui Lun.

This is not nonsense, there is a record as a certificate, "The number of the heir is Taishan Gong, and Li Ke, the king of Jin, knows that Taishan Gong can pay for things, and he collects the subordinate accounts, and those who cannot be controlled by his power will be ordered to be unified repeatedly." And can gather ......"

What kind of place is Hedong in history, to put it bluntly, this is a place where the mighty generals are like clouds, "Those who cannot be controlled by force will be ordered to be ruled repeatedly." And the phrase "can gather ...... harmoniously" does not need to be explained, and everyone knows what it means.

The strength of the ancients, especially the strength of the military, naturally refers to bravery, but all those who have the courage to not surrender, let Zhe Si Lun go to command them, and Zhi Si Lun will soon be able to subdue these people, and can also smoothly command them, which shows what a bullish person this is.

Li Keyong's command naturally includes the Thirteen Taibao, and it can be said that the strength of Zhe Silun, even if it is not as good as Li Cunxiao, must be much higher than the Thirteen Taibao.

And this is a capable sage, according to the record "during the history of the Linzhou assassination, at the beginning of getting off the car, visiting the suffering, rewarding farming and animal husbandry, for the government to be lenient, people fight to attach." ”

That is, brave and capable, virtuous and wide, almost the horse can fight, the horse can govern, such a general, who doesn't want it, no wonder it will be favored by Li Keyong.

Lick used as one

Warlord Fang, may not be competent, but as a fierce collector, he is absolutely competent.

This person likes brave generals, and his discerning eyes are far beyond the reach of many people, at least Zhu Wen and Yang Xingmi, who are contemporaries of the same era, are much worse than him in this regard.

As soon as he heard that it was a fold, Zhu Li's eyes were confused, such a good general, he couldn't get it, and he couldn't let Li Ke use it.

It's not that Zhu Li doesn't tolerate people, it's not that he's narrow-minded, he and Li Keyong are enemies of life and death, and it's natural for you to have this kind of thinking in the case of life and death.

As soon as he heard Zhi Silun's inquiry, Li Keyong immediately put on an amiable face and said politely: "I don't know if I am a strong man, what do you have to say, come quickly, Li will definitely try his best to satisfy." ”

The governor of a feudal town was so polite to himself, which obviously flattered Zhi Silun, and hurriedly arched his hand: "The chief is polite, the chief is prestigious, the world knows it, and the elite of Hedong is famous all over the world, but I want to ask the chief manager, the chief manager has such a prestige and such a strong force, what is his ambition?" ”

This question is usually a question that good ministers and fierce generals must ask when they are looking for a good master.

In that era of "ten years of cold and bitter windows, goods and the emperor's family", it is not surprising that there is such a question; After all, if you choose a master who is determined to collect the world's beautiful women, it is also a kind of sadness, and she follows the pimping every day, known as the pimp general, how can you not be sad.

Li Keyong is obviously no stranger to this problem, immediately straightened his chest and abdomen, raised his head to look at the sky, and said solemnly: "Li is a Tang Chen, and his ambition in life is to be a saint, sweep the world, sweep the world, and sweep the world. ”

This is said with great momentum, but is that really the case?

If you think about it closely, you may find that this is not the case.

Nominally, Zhu Li was Li Keyong's father-killing enemy, and he also struck him once, so he naturally wouldn't let it go; And Zhu Quanzhong was in Shangyuan, and he almost took Li Keyong's life, and Li Keyong certainly wouldn't let it go.

His words are true from the bottom of his heart, but in fact, they have nothing to do with sweeping the world and sweeping the world.

However, Li Ke used the words of the scholars and heroes in front of him, and they all showed a look of longing and yearning, when the man is alive, most people still can't see through the words "fame, fortune and wealth", and I have to say that these four words have infinite magic.

Anyway, Li Keyong's answer still made Zhen Silun more satisfied, but he continued to arch his hand: "I don't know, what does the chief manager think of the general trend of the world today?" ”

Sure enough, asking ambition first, and then asking about the current situation, is the old-fashioned of good ministers and fierce generals.

However, although it is old-fashioned, it is very particular about a person's vision and mind, because the current situation is changing at any time, and the whole body is affected by a hair, and yesterday's situation is likely to be different from today's situation.

Since Li Keyong is optimistic about Zhe Silun, he will naturally answer his question patiently, and only listen to his generous words: "Looking at the world of the Tang Dynasty, the royal family is sluggish, the feudal town is self-respecting, Li is in the rich land of Hedong, and he is in charge of the world's first brigade. ”

Heroic, but it is not impossible, east of Taihang, is the land of Hebei, compared to Heshuo where Zhu Li is in charge, Hebei is obviously much weaker, if Li Keyong stabilizes Zhu Li and sweeps away the Hebei domains, it is not impossible to succeed.

When the time comes, with the soldiers of Hebei and Hezhong, and attack the Hetao, Zhu Li may really be destroyed by him.
