When Zhai Rang left from the Guogong Mansion, he carried a five-pound bag of fried tea in one hand, and left with a proud face.

Lai sat down at the table and poured a sip of cold tea, and the smug look was also floating on his face. Pingbai picked up a future military god, and he is also a loyal man who values righteousness.

In history, when Li Miyan killed Zhai Rang, he ordered Xu Shixun to be executed together, and it was Shan Xiongxin who begged bitterly from the side, which saved Xu Shixun's life.

In the second year of Wude, Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, the heroes of Wagangzhai were disbanded, Li Mi was defeated and defected to Tang, and Shan Xiongxin led people to vote for Wang Shichong because his brother was shot by Li Yuan.

At that time, Xu Shiyun still occupied a vast territory of "east to the sea, south to the river, west to Ruzhou, and north to Wei County". He said to Guo Xiaoke, the long history: "Since the Duke of Wei belongs to the Tang Dynasty, the land of the people is now owned by the Duke of Wei. If I offer it, it will be the defeat of the Lord, and I will be ashamed to do my own work to invite wealth and richness. Now it is advisable to have the number of counties and military household registrations, and the general enlightenment of Wei Gong and the dedication of the public are also the merits of Wei Gong. ”

It means that the Duke of Wei (Li Mi) has returned to the Tang Dynasty, if I go up to the table to offer the land to the Tang Lord, is it to invite merit and show the defeat of the Lord, or to make a record of the number of land, population and soldiers, and always enlighten the Duke of Wei, so that the Duke of Wei can dedicate himself, this is the credit of the Duke of Wei. ”

When Li Yuan heard that Xu Shiyun's envoy was coming, he hurriedly summoned him, and when he inquired, he only had a letter to Li Mi, which was very strange. The envoy explained the original situation in detail, Li Yuan was overjoyed, and thought that Xu Shichang "felt the virtue and promoted the merit, and the real pure minister was also", and immediately issued an edict to confer Xu Shichang as the governor of Liyang, Shangzhu State, and the Duke of Lai, and soon added the general of the Right Wuhou, changed the title to Cao Guogong, gave the surname Li, gave 50 hectares of good land, and the first district of A.

Soon after Li Mi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he took the opportunity to rebel again, and was killed by Sheng Yanshi in Taolin. Li Yuan thought that Xu Shiyun had followed Li Mi, so he sent someone to tell Xu Shiyun about Li Mi's rebellion.

When Xu Shiyun heard that Li Mi was executed, he asked for permission to bury the deceased master, and the Tang court approved it. Xu Shiyun obeyed filial piety, and the former subordinate old ministers and soldiers ceremoniously buried Li Mi in the south of Li Mountain, the tomb was seven feet high, and he was buried with a monarch's ceremony, and the government and the opposition praised his loyalty when they heard the news.

Later, Shan Xiongxin, who would not surrender to the Tang Dynasty, was captured due to Wang Shichong's defeat. When Xu Shichang learned about it, he went in person and tried hard to persuade Shan Xiongxin to put aside his grievances and vote for Tang to save his life, but he was categorically refused.

Finally, on the execution ground, Xu Shiyun wielded a knife to cut off a piece of meat on his body, gave it to Shan Xiongxin to eat, and said: You and I are brothers, but since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve, but I can't accompany you on the road, so let my meat go on the road with you. The second brother doesn't have to worry about what happens after death, and I will take care of your children in the future.

How can such righteousness not make people sigh.

Ten catties of tea can be exchanged for such a good general, what could be happier than this? How can you not be white?

Zhai Rang has already told Laiquan that he will go to Xu's house to find Xu Gai when he returns to Dongjun, and if nothing else, there will be news back soon.

During the Great Sui Dynasty, due to the opening of the canal, the circulation of goods was rapid, and the wealth of merchants increased dramatically. However, even if the merchants were very rich, it did not change their low social status.

Xu Shiyun has had great ambitions since he was a child, and he doesn't want to be a lowly businessman like his father for the rest of his life.

So he practiced literature and martial arts, and studied military books intensively, just so that one day he could get ahead and find a marquis.

But as the son of a businessman, it is not easy to get ahead. In addition to having one's own skills, you also need chance and appreciation.

Even if you are better than Zhang Liang and Wu is better than Han Xin, no one discovers your talent, doesn't give you a stage to play, and stays at home all day long, sooner or later it will end up with depression.

Xu Shiyun told Zhai Rang a long time ago that he wanted to go out for a walk and take a look. It would be better if you could meet the opportunity to join the army, and with your own literacy and hyphenation, it would be impossible to just be a big soldier. Have a good start, and with your own strategy and military talent, you will definitely be able to stand out.

The idea is beautiful, but how easy is it to realize it? The conscription system of the Great Sui Dynasty was still very strict before the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, and it was extremely difficult for a merchant to join the army.

Now I want to build my own team, which is definitely a good opportunity for the ambitious Xu Shiyun not to be missed.

First of all, Lai Cheng is the son of Rong Guogong Lai Hu'er, once he enlists in the army, he is a descendant. With a little exercise, it is not impossible to lead an army alone. As a private team to come to the whole, you can get a good military rank at the beginning, which is much stronger than working hard from the bottom.

Secondly, Lai Cheng is a martial artist, and he attaches importance to personal force, and he must be slightly lacking in strategy and strategy, and these are exactly what Xu Shiyun is good at. In this way, you can be relied on by Laicheng, as long as Laicheng continues to make achievements, then Xu Shixian's own upward channel will be opened.

With these two points, Zhai Rang is sure that Xu Shiyun will never refuse this rare opportunity.

So when Zhai Rang left the Rongguo Mansion, he made a five-day appointment. Five days later, no matter whether Xu Gai agrees with his son to come to Luoyang to follow, Zhai Rang will tell Xu Shichang the news, and immediately send someone to give feedback to Laicheng.

In the days of waiting for news, it was very comfortable to come and live.

I heard that Li Yuan had asked Li Xiuning several times recently about the news of Laijia, and he did not object to Li Xiuning walking around with Laijia more.

So every other day, Li Xiuning would come to the Rongguo Mansion, nominally to find snow, but in fact, most of the time he was accompanying him to practice archery and discuss the art of war.

Li Xiuning is worthy of being the leader of the later "Women's Army", although he is still young, his understanding and application of the art of war is not twice as strong as half a bottle of vinegar.

This makes Lai feel that success is really not accidental, in addition to talent, continuous learning and accumulation are also particularly important.

In his previous life, he had not systematically studied the art of war, and the strategies that he could remember came from the "Art of War" that the deity had been forced to learn by Laihu'er.

The full text of "The Art of War" is not long, a total of thirteen articles. Including the beginning of the plan, the battle, the attack, the military form, the situation, the virtual reality, the military battle, the nine changes, the march, the terrain, the nine places, the fire attack, the use of the space, etc., more than 7,000 words.

Although he can memorize the full text by rote, it does not mean that he can flexibly use the tactics and strategies in the military book.

Li Xiuning is different, she is not only familiar with "The Art of War", but also carefully studied "Liutao" and "Wei Xuanzi".

It was only in the discussion with Li Xiuning that I felt the brilliant culture of China and the magical power of the ancient Chinese scriptures.

It is very painful to lose to a woman in a row, but he is happy to do it, not only because Li Xiuning is beautiful and delicious, but also because in the process of losing, he has learned things that he has never been exposed to.

After a few days of fighting, Lai Cheng has changed from a layman who doesn't know anything about the art of war to a beginner who has just gotten a glimpse of the door.

The joy brought by this change is by no means something that can be experienced by people outside the body!
