Li * was stunned and looked up at Zhe Deyuan, stood for a long time, and then bowed sincerely and said: "Zhe Ya is polite, humiliating, I have heard the name of the Zhe family for a long time, I have to see it in person today, and I am fortunate to be humble!" ”

Zhi Deyuan listened to his compliments and just smiled faintly: "Xuanjie doesn't have to be polite, Zhe is vulgar, but he is just a soldier who can only carry a gun and patrol, and he should not be so flattering ...... Xuanjie."

Li * is down-to-earth, there are not many so-called famous generals and famous armies in this era, and the strong feudal clan is even more everywhere, but it is mostly short-lived, like the Zhejia, a military family that can be used in the town for more than a hundred years, is definitely an outlier in the feudal town, and there is no other semicolon in the country. Even the Yang family, who is very close to the Zhe family and is lamented by the third emperor of the Zhao family as "both father and son are famous generals", cannot be compared with the Zhe family in this regard.

All the undefeated people who have been undefeated for a hundred years and the army that have not faded for a century are worthy of respect.

Li * didn't go around in circles, and asked straightforwardly: "How many soldiers did you bring with you?" ”

When Li Bin heard this, he was immediately stunned.

How could Li * ask such a question, he really didn't see the outside, and after meeting without saying a word, he inquired about people's military secrets, and was not afraid of the taboos of prisoners at all, although this number is not a big secret, but at this time and on this occasion asked so straightforwardly, the civilian officials present all felt strange, and they didn't know what Li * had in mind.

On the contrary, Zhi Deyuan smiled faintly, not surprised at all, and replied briskly: "It's only three hundred......

"Enough!" Li*'s eyes lit up suddenly, and he smiled openly.

Zhi Deyuan looked at Li * with some amusement, this rogue in the mouth of the high-level in Yanzhou, but it was really interesting.

"Huairen, what does it mean to be 'enough'?" Li Bin was quite puzzled by the answer between the two, and asked in a deep voice.

Li * bowed to Li Bin: "Observe, the key to Yanzhou's defense is in the two passes of Luzi and Weiping, the terrain of the two passes is not dangerous, but there have been no soldiers stationed for many years, and the pass is in disrepair, can not be replenished in a short period of time, such consumption they can not withstand many times. ”

When Li Bin heard this, he pondered, and Zhi Deyuan was in high spirits, and asked unceremoniously: "How can you see it?" ”

Li * glanced at Zhi Deyuan with a little strangeness: "Is it a lowly position in the Yanai examination?" There are eight divisions in the four states of the Dingyan Army, and there are only 8,000 capable soldiers in total, of which only three or four thousand are in armor, and the Tuoba family's own descendants are only 3,000. If the Tuoba family can lose 300 troops in front of Luzi Pass and Weiping Pass, it is already one-tenth of its military strength, these soldiers are strong soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, and it is impossible to replenish them with new soldiers for a while, if they are lucky enough to make their losses reach 500, their losses will reach one-sixth, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for the army to go south again in a few years......"

Zhi Deyuan nodded and said with a smile: "It's just that Li Yiyin won't be so stupid, since he came from the south, he always has to bring some people from other tribes to strengthen his momentum." ”

Li * smiled maliciously: "This is the best, the eight tribes of the party, only the Tuoba family is the strongest, and the rest of the tribes are far from equipped with weapons, killing a soldier of the Tuoba family is equivalent to killing two or three soldiers of other tribes, if those small tribes dare to come alone, I am afraid that before the two levels, they will hit the vitality of the tribe and damage the vitality......"

Zhi Deyuan thought for a while and asked, "Li Xuanjie, if the Dingyan Army really goes south again, are you willing to fight?" ”

This question was a little rude, but Li* replied simply: "Yes!" ”

Zhi Deyuan stroked his palm and smiled: "Li Xuanjie turned out to be a cheerful person, and the senior servant deliberately ordered him to go out of Weiping Pass, and with Li Xuanjie as the inspection envoy of Luzi Pass, it seems that he really knows people and knows people......"

"Luziguan Inspector?" Li * was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his eyes to look at Li Bin, he saw that the old man was full of melancholy.

Li * lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "The senior waiter has a good calculation, or not, the inspection will be the inspection!" ”

He paused and said, "But my teams have just been formed, and they are all veterans and recruits, and now I am pulling them up to send them to death." In this kind of weather, the party did not dare to invade the south for a while, and when the snow opened and froze, I led my troops to Luziguan to guard the town. ”

Zhi Deyuan glanced at him and said slowly: "Does Li Xuanjie think that this year's Dingyan Army will go south?" ”

Li * said respectfully: "In the sense of humility, it is best for Li Yiyin not to go south this year, but for the servant Zhonghe Yanei, Lao Li still has a good way to go south this year......

Zhi Deyuan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his eyes flashed a few times, but he didn't speak again.

The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense, Zhi Deyuan didn't speak with a cold face, but Li * didn't care about it, and still said with a stinging look: "It's no wonder that the Yanei is a sloppy person in the army, who will only talk and do things." Yanai came to garrison Yanzhou, it is the luck of Li Shu of Jiuxian County, * I am very grateful in my heart, what is offended, please forgive me! ”

Zhi Deyuan's face looked a little better, and he smiled reluctantly: "What is the matter, why worry about it!" ”

Li * nodded very sincerely: "Yes, the matter of Yanzhou is in the service and in the ya, and it is indeed a matter of duty!" ”

Zhi Deyuan's face suddenly became extremely stinky again, and he hesitated for a while before asking: "Li Xuanjie thinks that if the army comes south this year, can the two passes be held?" ”

Li * looked at him, nodded and said: "The terrain of Weiping Pass is more precipitous than Luzi Pass, the road is much narrower, the troops are more difficult to deploy, and the detour is even more difficult......

Zhi Deyuan sneered: "...... Does Xuanjie mean that Luzi Pass is difficult to hold? ”

Li * shook his head: "No, it depends on who will defend it, although the conditions of Luzi Pass are slightly worse than those of Wei Pingguan, but with the combat strength of the troops in the Yanai, it can also be called a rock-solid ......."

Then he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Although I am very unconvinced, I can only tell the truth about my humble duties - the lowly soldiers are not successful, I haven't seen blood, and a large number of them are no different from new soldiers, and it will take at least two months to tame this group of people and make them look like soldiers, which is far from the level of the real battlefield......"

Zhi Deyuan frowned: "Then why did Xuanjie accept the dispatch of Luzi Pass inspection without hesitation?" ”

He paused, and before Li * could answer, he said: "Xuanjie doesn't have to be perfunctory, you and I are both from the army, don't say anything about going around in circles." Now who doesn't know in the nine counties of Yanzhou, the average life of the high servants is effective for others, and it is ...... for Xuanjie."

He hesitated and didn't say it too plainly, but the meaning was quite clear, if Li * was unhappy, he could take Gao Yunquan's order to the toilet as toilet paper......

Li * sighed: "Please forgive me for being rude, Yanzhou has nothing to do with the Folding Servants, why did the Folding Servants send the Yannei to guard the customs and help the war?" If he is willing to accept the order, the reason is the same as the reason for Yanai to come to Yanzhou......"

Zhi Deyuan was suddenly depressed again, this splash, he is now beginning to understand Gao Yunquan's feelings, he is really a guy who is angry and can't pay for his life......

However, Zhi Deyuan breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, although this guy was lazy, he was really a little different from the officers of the Zhangwu Army who he had seen, I hope this person can do the same as he said.

……

After the banquet in the front hall, Li Bin got up to change his clothes, and glanced at Li *, Li * stood up knowingly and followed out, and Zhi Deyuan, who was sitting and drinking on the side, saw it in his eyes, and smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't care about cutting off a piece of lamb leg meat with a knife, putting it in his mouth and chewing it slowly......

Li Bin took Li * to his study and waved away the servants, then he turned to look at Li * and asked, "You weren't hurt in that incident a few years ago, right?" ”

Li * scratched his head with a wry smile: "But it's not a big deal to freeze in the dungeon for a night......"

Li Bin nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "It's good that you're not injured!" ”

Li* looked at his face, very surprised, and wanted to ask but didn't dare to open his mouth.

After a long time, Li Bin let out a long sigh: "Waiting...... Didn't use ......"

Lee * Murran.

Li Bin glanced at him coldly: "I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this year...... You will inevitably be a little more ruthless when you do it......"

Li * hurriedly raised his hand and swore: "Observe, the conscience of heaven and earth, the lowly position does not mean to hurt his old man in the high-ranking service in the slightest, even the high-ranking man does not have a single hair, from beginning to end, except for the fact that he was dragged to the courtyard by the brother who did not know the severity of the matter that morning and froze for less than half a moment, the lowly officials did not even dare to touch a little finger of the high-ranking servant......"

Li Bin saw that this guy who killed people on the street on the day of the rebellion half a year ago and didn't even blink his eyes now made such a scoundrel and lazy attitude, he couldn't help but be angry and funny in his heart, he snorted coldly with a frosty face: "The savings of the Gao family for decades have been looted by you, and the Jiedu Mansion can't even pay the whole army for the New Year, are you embarrassed to say that you are innocent?" ”

Li * immediately complained bitterly: "Observe, the conscience of heaven and earth, most of the money copied from the Jiedu Mansion was given to Zijian, although the humble position was from a humble background, he was not greedy for money, and he knew it by observation." This money is in Zijian's hands and used on the people, it is much better than piling it up in the treasury of Jiedu Mansion and slowly becoming moldy, right? ”

Li Bin glanced at him, snorted, and said slowly: "If you hadn't handed over the money to Zijian to take care of, and against your scoundrel methods, as soon as the old man returned to Yanzhou, he would have to help Gao Shizhong persuade Deyuan to lead the soldiers to suppress your bandits' nest, so as to save the end of raising tigers to suffer from carbuncles and raise a bully, the old man would be the sinner of Yanzhou's father!" ”

Li * smiled: "The observation is serious, if this is the case, I am afraid that the folding of the yamen will fight with the lowly position to lose both, wouldn't it be a cheap party member in vain?" ”

Li Bin smiled lightly: "Oh? Your soldiers can fight with Zhe Deyuan to defeat both, so why are you so polite? ”

Li * sighed: "The head-to-head confrontation will definitely not be successful, but a few days ago, I made a small fortune in the Jiedu Mansion, although the property was handed over, but some treasures were privately hidden, and these things were put in the arsenal and no one used them was waste, did they go to the hands of the lowly office...... Hehe, if the soldiers in the Zheya want to capture the lowly cottage, I'm afraid they will have to suffer a little......"

Li Bin's eyes lit up, but he asked quietly, "How many soldiers do you have in your hands now?" ”

Lee* scratched his head and replied, "Less than two hundred, most of them are recruits, and they can't go into battle." ”

Li Bin's eyes immediately dimmed, and he sighed: "Luzi Guan...... Can you hold it? ”

Li *'s expression was relieved, and he comforted Li Bin and said: "Please rest assured that it is just the first month of the year, the heavy snow is closing the road, and the people and horses of the Dingyan army brigade cannot be dispatched, and the livestock will mate in the spring, and the party people will live as nomads. Therefore, if the party army wants to go south, it will be after April at the earliest, and in these few months, the lowly post will be able to train these two hundred people to make an appearance. ”

Li Bin looked at him and said lightly: "...... You can disobey orders, I can't control the affairs of the army, as long as you are not afraid of the blame of the high servants, you don't have to obey orders......"

Li * was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Li Bin's intentions, this old fox was suggesting in disguise that he did not need to obey orders to be sent by this Laoshzi inspector.

He was slightly moved in his heart, thought about it, and said softly: "Observe, take the liberty of asking, have you seen the folded servant on this trip to Sanshui?" ”

Li Bin nodded: "Zhe Ke has not been sick for a long time, his body is very healthy, he can ride a horse, he eats meat, this old guy is old and fine, he speaks and does not leak, even if it is for me, he hides a little." ”

Li * smiled and nodded, and secretly said in his heart that Ruan was not the Later Zhou court, of course he had to hide a little bit from your old man.

He asked, "What did he say when you relayed to him the invitation of the high squire?" ”

Li Bin stroked his beard and said: "He said clearly, when the Zhejia army entered Guanzhong, it had already caused the feudal clans to be terrified day and night, and Shi Jimei and Gao Shizhong treated him politely, because they were afraid of the military strength of the Zhe family and the prestige of the imperial court. Shuo Fang's Feng family relied on the friendship with today's cloth clothes, and simply wrote an eviction order, clearly telling him that he was not allowed to enter Lingzhou......"

“…… So he said, don't make Gao Shizhong embarrassed, he didn't come to Yanzhou, but just sent his son to lead 300 soldiers to Luzi Pass to garrison, hoping that Gao Shizhong could help solve the daily food of these 300 soldiers. ”

Li * smiled: "Do you believe it?" ”

Li Bin smiled: "It's just a half-truth, although the meat of Yanzhou is rotten, it is not thin, how can he not covet it, but he is afraid of causing a shock in Guanzhong, and all the vassals have the same hatred and hatred, and they will unite with the Dingyan army to deal with him, and they will not dare to say it for a while." Now the situation in Yanzhou is very similar to Yizhou in the Three Kingdoms, the meat is very fat, its master is weak and can't be guarded, Zhang Lu, Cao Cao and Liu Bei all want it, but everyone wants to be Liu Bei, first hang such a long face and look good, isn't it? ”

Li * pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "Observation, I'm afraid it's not like this, the Zhejia army entered the pass and came to Yanzhou, all for another purpose......"

Li Bin was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "How can you see it?" ”

Li * organized the language and said: "Observe and think, the Dingyan Army has now voted for the Northern Han Dynasty and does not recognize the Great Zhou as Zhengshuo, but the Zhe family in Fuzhou respects Bianliang, Li Yiyin and Zhe Congruan have been sworn enemies for many years, and now they have their own masters, and they must be even more wary of each other. Fuzhou is adjacent to the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty, and there is a big enemy in the south, and the Yang family in Linzhou was originally an ally and in-law, and now the Yang family sent Yang Chonggui into Taiyuan, even if he cares about his in-laws, he will not help at most when he really fights, and Fuzhou is actually a situation where he is being attacked on three sides. It is not known whether the Khitans will join forces with the Northern Han, but the Hedong and Dingyan armies must echo each other. And Yanzhou is in the south of Yinxia, if it can effectively contain the strength of the party people, then the threat of the southern front of Fuzhou can be lifted, otherwise, the Hedong army will go out of Yanmen, the Khitan will come east, and the Dingyan army will go north, and even if the Fuzhou Zhesanlang has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to cope with this situation. It's just that my Zhangwu army is too weak, and the Dingyan army doesn't treat us as a dish at all, so Zhe Congruan Cai has to divide his troops into the pass, garrison Sanshui, and send this Zhewulang to help defend Luzi Pass, in order to make Li Yiyin have more scruples, and dare not go north with all his strength to echo the Northern Han's use of troops in Fuzhou......"

Li Bin suddenly realized: "This is the meaning of what you just said to Zhi Deyuan?" ”

Li * nodded: "For us in Yanzhou, the Dingyan Army will not go south this year, and we just have a year's respite." But there are two sides to everything, and if the army does not go south, it will naturally have to send troops north, and Fuzhou will be in danger...... Therefore, for Zhe Deyuan, he hopes that Li Yiyin will go south this year, the Dingyan army is not strong, and the two-front battle is not supported by the Zhi family, and Li Yiyin also cannot afford to support it, if he folds the troops and horses in the south, Yanzhou will be able to pose a threat to Yinxia, and Li Yiyin will not dare to randomly transfer troops and horses to the north. Zhe Deyuan understands this truth, and he will not understand it in Zhe Shizhong, so the Zhejia army is indeed sincerely helping to defend Yanzhou. The anti-guest is the main dove to occupy the magpie's nest, and such a foolish thing is something that such a shrewd person would never do......"

Li Bin nodded silently and asked, "Then what do you mean by what you said to Zhe Yanei later?" ”

Li * smiled embarrassedly: "The Zhe family didn't come to Yanzhou to save us, they were also for themselves, for Fuzhou, so they will definitely desperately defend Weiping Pass and Luzi Pass. I don't want to be flattened by Zhe Deyuan, and the Zhe family can work hard for their own affairs, can't we Zhangwu Army? Guarding Luzi Pass is guarding the gateway to Yanzhou, this is our own business in Yanzhou, what the Zhejia Army can do, why can't we do it? ”

He paused, and said sincerely: "Observing what he said to the lowly post at that time, the humbling post has always been in mind, and the lowly duty training is to protect the countryside and the party members, so this Luziguan patrol envoy, no matter what the father and son of the senior servant have in mind, the humiliation has been decided......
