After Luo Tong finished talking about the wonderful use of various small objects, Li Jing said: "You imitate the Turks, there is a surprise!" However, Xiazhou Shuofang is still in the hands of Liang Shidu, and he is a lackey of the Turks. How could it be so easy for you to pass through his borders? Even if he doesn't check for a while, let you break through. When you come back, wouldn't it be dangerous if you join forces with the Turks and cut off your way? ”

Luo Tong said with a smile: "Liang Shidu, there is nothing to be afraid of!" I guess he's taking care of himself now. ”

He already knew that as Li Shimin had done in history, he personally ordered Xia Governor Shi Liu Min and Sima Liu Lan to seek his land. They should divide their kings and ministers within, and at the same time send light horsemen to ravage their crops. Because of the Tang army's discordant and poisonous plan to destroy the fields, the people in Shuofang left their hometowns one after another and fled to the Tang Dynasty in the south. The Tang Dynasty did not refuse to come to the common people, not only providing food, but also lending farming equipment such as cattle and rice seeds, and paying rent in the form of taxes. That is to say, don't have a penny to have a peaceful life with land and land, so there is an endless stream of people fleeing from the Tang Dynasty next door.

As a result, the population of Shuofang was drastically reduced, and extraordinary measures had to be taken to control the population, and even so, it was impossible to avoid the exodus of the people.

This sharp decline in population has affected the number of soldiers, Shuo Fang was already on the corner, the source of troops was insufficient, and the number of troops in its heyday was only 50,000 or 60,000, to feed these 50,000 soldiers and horses, and also relied on the Turks to invade the Tang Dynasty for many years, and to get some leftovers from the spoils of war to feed. Since the Turks were unpopular in front of the Tang Dynasty, Liang Shidu was forced to disarm. Over the years, they have been cutting and cutting, until Er Liu shot at them, and they cut even more.

By this year, they were short of food and could not afford enough to pay their troops, barely enough to maintain the necessary 30,000 troops. The vast majority of these 30,000 people were forced to join the army, and this combat power can be imagined.

Luo Tong's 3,000 Mo sword army was defeated even by 25,000 and 16 cavalry, and he was afraid that Liang Shidu would be a soldier with low morale and weak combat effectiveness? He has long since stopped taking Liang Shi in his eyes, if that guy dares to send troops, he can simply take Shuo Fang away.

Li Jing's beard curled when he heard this, and he snorted: "The idea of the virtuous nephew is damaged enough, but it's quite interesting!" gave such a specious evaluation, and I don't know whether to exaggerate or depreciate more.

Luo Tong smiled and said: "Benevolence, righteousness and morality are not bad or wrong, and the things left by the ancestors are also reasonable." But it depends on who and what's going on. Small mistakes can be forgiven. In the face of Liang Shidu's traitorous rebellion, he should be as cruel and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and being kind to him is cruel to himself...... However, the uncle's concerns are also somewhat reasonable, and this rat generation will occasionally eat leopard gall. Uncle, you see that this will not work, you gather all the soldiers of Lingzhou at the border for training, so that the Liang division can only close the city and not leave, and we can calmly cross the border. ”

Li Jing said: "Okay, I'll mess around with us!" ”

When the red-haired girl heard them say that they were all national affairs that she was not interested in, she became impatient, and inadvertently saw the large pile of white paper, and said, "Luo Tong, you give Brother Jing a gift!" What about mine, don't you look down on me, an old woman? ”

Luo Tong was a little dumbfounded, this is a guest anyway, how can he ask for a gift from himself when he looks at him, his eyes can't help but fall on the body of the red whisk girl: although she is old, there are a little wrinkles between her eyebrows, but she has a delicate and vulgar melon seed face, high nose and snow skin, and she does not see her old age, especially a bright red dress, which makes her look younger. She also has a long sword at her waist, which makes her look heroic.

Although Luo Tong and Li Yesi have been friends for many years, the red whisk girl has never been seen. He knows Li Jing's information, Li Jing is a native of Sanyuan, Yongzhou, born in the sixth year of Tianhe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and is fifty-seven years old this year, and his wife Hongfu is six years younger than him, but how the woman in red who appeared in front of him looks like a woman about thirty is too different from the image in his mind. His wife, Li Jing, was six years old, but the woman in red in front of him looked like a woman in her thirties, about the same age as her own mother, so she didn't expect that she was the famous red whisk girl, so she didn't pay attention to it, and now when she heard her ask for a gift, she couldn't help asking: "Heir, what is this aunt's name?" ”

The three members of the Li family were stunned.

After a while, Li Yesi rolled his eyes and said, "Qingxiao, don't talk nonsense, this is my grandmother." ”

Luo Tong suddenly realized, but the image of the red whisk girl was too different from the image in his mind, and he said wrongly: "You are playing me, right?" This aunt and my mother sat together like sisters. "Yes, yes?" The Red Whisk Girl loves to hear this the most

"Of course!" Luo Tong nodded with a straight face

"Okay, I'll be your aunt from now on!" The red whisk girl was extremely excited, and she held Luo Tong's hand very affectionately, very affectionately.

Li Yesi cried and said, "Grandma has become Qingxiao's aunt, so what should I do?" ”

The red-haired girl waved her hand and said impatiently: "Don't come with me, sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, think about what to do, and talk about it." ”

Luo Tong looked at the smiling red-haired girl with some distraction, it was hard to imagine that Li Jing was such a deep person, and his wife was so happy. Maybe this is the so-called Guo Jing with Huang Rong! Only a silly boy with an honest and honest mind about the world is worthy of the smart Huang Rong girl of ice and snow, and Li Jing, who has a low-key connotation, can attract a strange woman like the Red Whisk Girl.

"What do you want for a gift? But I didn't really bring anything this time. Now that he knows what kind of character the red whisk girl is, Luo Tong also told the truth.

The red whisk girl smiled happily and said: "The eldest nephew's calligraphy shocks me in the Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know, you write me a word, I like your song "Chivalrous Travel" very much!" ”

At the beginning of the calligraphy with the three major calligraphy names, he wrote "Chivalrous Travel", this poem with his calligraphy, has also become famous all over the world, the red whisk girl is a character in the rivers and lakes, and it is normal to like this poem.

Luo Tong suddenly smiled and said, "Since my aunt likes my calligraphy, let's just write." I was embarrassed just now! ”

The Red Whisk Girl laughed even more! patted Luo Tong on the shoulder, looking like a good brother.

Li Jing and Li Yesi's faces turned dark, and there was no way.

Luo Tong took out a new piece of paper, lifted the pen next to him, and wrote out "Chivalrous Journey" seriously, and left his name - Luo Tong!

The heroic poems and heroic words are integrated and set off against each other, and the majestic momentum jumps on the paper!

"Good words, good words, good words! No wonder the world calls the virtuous nephew a thousand words. Li Jing was full of praise!

Luo Tong is a master of calligraphy with his bare hands and is sought after.

Since he didn't spread a word, the "Qingxiao Body" written by him also rose as a result, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a thousand gold.

Seeing that Li Jing couldn't put it down, Luo Tong thought about it for a while and wrote a poem to give away:

"In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned. But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain. As for the title of the poem, he changed it to "Li Weigong"

Li Jing took the words and poems written by Luo Tong! There was no sense of joy and smugness in his eyes, "Thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn", after all, compliments are what everyone loves to hear, even Li Jing is also average!

What's more, these words come from the pen of the famous poet Luo Tong, it is not difficult to imagine that this word and this poem will be passed on to the next level, which is enough to make his name go to the next level.

Li Jing exclaimed: "In ancient times, Cao Zijian became a poem in seven steps, but today I see Qingxiao waving a poem, which is really amazing!" He nodded in satisfaction and accepted the words!
