Li Kai, who was half a head shorter than Luo Kaixian, stood in front of the big man with full armor, very honestly afraid, he turned his head and looked at the relatively familiar Shi Le cautiously.

Without waiting for him to speak, Shi Le obviously knew the intentions of the two people present very well, and introduced it in a dog-legged manner: "This is the steward of my Lingzhou who came to the east this time, and General Li might as well be called Wei Langjun." ”

"Wei Langjun?" Li Kai muttered ignorantly, and then guessed that this must be the commander of the Lingzhou side, he didn't dare to hesitate, and saluted Luo Kaixian with his fists: "I've seen Wei Langjun, I'm Li Kai is a flower arm, not only me, but half of my brothers are also flower arms." ”

According to what Shi Le said before, there are more than 200 people in the captured forbidden army who want to take refuge, and don't half of them have about 100 people? In recent days, Luo Kaixian has inquired very clearly, at this time, the flower arms in the Song State Forbidden Army are not splashes like the nine-tattooed dragon Shi Jin in the later novel "Water Margin", but a symbol of real martial arts.

"Very good!" With a sigh of admiration, Luo Kai opened his mouth and asked: "I heard that you want to vote for my Lingzhou, a certain family is very puzzled, compared with the Song Kingdom, Lingzhou is just a remote and bitter cold place, not to mention a small defeat, and it is not your responsibility, why is it so ......?" ”

Li Kai opened his mouth and paused for a while, before he replied angrily: "Don't dare to hide from Langjun, I and all the robes belong to the newly transferred Kaifeng Mansion Forbidden Army, which is less than a year old...... Approaching the end of the year, the young son and the old lady in the family had nothing to eat, so they heard Zheng Yuhou's instigation to go this way, and the bad luck of the Zheng family was killed in the war, and the son of the Shi family was also captured by Langjun's subordinates...... Before, Lao Shiling told me that when the trench on the north side is dug and erected, we will be released, but what face do we have to return to the army? The sycophancy of the commander of the infantry army will definitely blame me, not to mention the punishment in the army, I am afraid that there will be a worry about the border state! I'm not afraid of the hardships of the border state, but I'm worried that the old mother and the young son at home will be lonely......"

After all, this stout man who was supposed to laugh heartily turned out to be full of misery.

How does a pity not husband? This Li Kaisheng is powerful and powerful, not like a tongue-in-cheek, although his words are a little stumbling, but he is also clearly organized, but he is a talent that can be cultivated.

Luo Kaixian did love talents, but he would not show a thirst for talent just because of his words, stared at this Li Kai a few times, and then looked at the Song army who were locked behind the wooden fence from a distance, and then asked calmly: "Although you are defeated in this battle, you are not guilty of cowardice, a certain family does not believe that the commander of your infantry army can cover the sky with one hand, and there should be a chief officer above the commander, and then go up to the Privy Council of the Song Court, how can you let your subordinates act recklessly?" Again...... If you really want to ask for a truth, the Song Court still has the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, you wait to hit Tianyan (1), how can Emperor Song not let you wait for justice? ”

Shi Le, who was listening, knew that Luo Kaixian was eager for a large number of soldiers, and at this moment, he felt that his commander's words were full of the meaning of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help but be a little impatient, and he opened his mouth to speak.

Will Luo Kaixian allow others to speak indiscriminately? He waved his hand to shut him up.

This move fell in Li Kai's eyes, and he was still a little frustrated by these words, and he immediately reacted, and after giving it up, he replied quite excitedly: "Lang Junxiu wants to tell me...... Now that the emperor favors scholars, and half of the Privy Council cabinet is scholars, how can he put such rough people as us in his eyes? As for what Lang Jun said, it was even more ridiculous! Since the Song Dynasty, it is a big crime to sue Shangguan, if I go to beat the Dengwen drum for the sake of my own future, I am afraid that before I see the emperor, I will be beaten to death by the deacon of the drum court! If Lang Jun doesn't want to accept us, to put it bluntly, why use such deceptive words? ”

The more Li Kai spoke, the more excited he became, and the later words were even more akin to interrogation. Shi Le on the side knew that his indiscriminate actions had leaked the main general's edge, so he simply stood aside and pretended to be a wooden chicken.

Luo Kaixian had a coffin-like face as usual, but the previous meaning in his heart quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a strong interest. In the face of Li Kai's offense, he was not annoyed at all, but continued to say seriously: "Without the Bianjing Forbidden Army, the sky will not fall, a man's husband, the world is so big, where can I not go?" You were born in Xiongzhou, wouldn't it be better to return to your old land and have a robe to help you? ”

Li Kai muttered back: "Where in the world can you not go? Where can I go? Don't hide it from Langjun, the Xiongzhou army is now divided, after the emperor negotiated peace with the Khitan barbarians, he wantonly reduced the army's materials, if we return to Xiongzhou, we will be in a cage, and there will be no future......"

"There will be no more days, why?" Listening to what the other party said was interesting, Luo Kaixian asked casually.

Li Kai was not hesitant, and said to himself: "After the oath of Tanyuan and the peace of Song and Liao, Lord Cao once commented with others that after the peace treaty, the Liao people will definitely recuperate, if there is no fighting, within ten years, they will not look south, then the strong soldiers of Xiongzhou will be useless, so they dismissed the Xiongzhou army, and we were ordered to be transferred to Bianjing at that time. ”

"Lord Cao? The people of the Cao clan of Jiangmen? Luo Kai asked first.

"It's not Cao's general, but a scholar, known as Cao Yu (2), who was once a shadow supplement official next to the emperor, and is now a scholar in the middle school." Li Kai replied as soon as he opened his mouth, obviously very familiar with this Cao Yun.

Hearing that it was not a person from the Cao family, Luo Kaixian also remembered Li Kai's words in his heart, and his focus was even more focused on the person in front of him, "Well, Cao uses this person and doesn't need to mention it again, but since you are so familiar with Bianjing officialdom, how can you not find a way?" My Lingzhou is remote and bitter cold and often entangles with the Hu people, so is it wise to abandon a comfortable place and go to a remote township? ”

"Wei Langjun, you...... Alas! Li Kai glared, facing Luo Kaixian, who was far taller than him in armor, but he didn't dare to make any moves, and finally had to sigh and say with a bitter face: "Wei Langjun should be an understanding person, why bother me with this rough embryo?" Last year, Cao used to make great contributions, who doesn't know? I know people, where will people pay attention to a rough person like me? As Wei Langjun said, I returned to Xiongzhou, what can I do for a living? How do you support your mother and children? These hands are used to carrying knives, how can they put down? Could it be that in the end, you will still fall into the grass? Even if you are a mountain king, what can you do? No, I humiliated my ancestors! ”

His whining words were the true voice of his heart, and Luo Kaixian had a preliminary sense of identity. Wouldn't those comrades-in-arms who had seen blood in later generations be uncomfortable once they retired? He Luo is one of them, but his experience is really special.

"It's okay......" Luo Kaixian sighed lightly, and then said: "My Lingzhou is located in Hexi, and most of the people on the left and near are Hu people from various departments, once there is a dispute, there is a risk of life and death. ”

It is not uncommon to see characters who are stout but timid as a mouse, even if this Li Kai gives people a good impression, ugly words need to be asked in the head, but this is the proper meaning.

"Man is born with life and death, what is there to fear? If you can live a good life, it is far better than being aggrieved for decades! Li Kai's answer was even more direct.

Luo Kaixian said: "If you die in battle, what will happen to the old mother and young son in the family?" ”

Li Kai smiled and replied with a grin: "I have smart ears and eyes, and I have heard people say that the people of Lingzhou have returned from thousands of miles away, and there are all the old and young among the people...... Your family can take useless people to travel thousands of miles without abandoning, if I don't wait for my life after joining the army, what do the old women and young children in the family worry about? ”

Ah, this guy looks reckless, but he is an understanding person with an inner show! Luo Kaixian said with a smile in his heart, and continued: "My Lingzhou army does not have a salary and silver now, and all the needs of the soldiers are rationed, that is, the war is captured, and it needs to be distributed after collection, if you want to use this as a way to collect money, it is not preferred!" ”

Li Kai had a smile on his face, "Just look at the red faces of the people who are led by the stone, and they have an iron armor to defend themselves, they know that they have no worries about food and clothing...... What's the use of asking for money? ”

I really didn't expect this tattooed reckless guy to have a delicate heart and think so thoroughly! Dialogue again and again, but in exchange for another and again impressive!

Luo Kaixian was greatly satisfied, and asked the last question excitedly, "My Lingzhou military discipline is strict, and it is far from being comparable to the rhythm of the forbidden army. There is training every day, there are certain rules for walking, sitting and lying, and if you violate the slightest violation, there will be punishment, can you bear it? ”

It is true that he admires the strong man in front of him, and it is not false that he acquiesces in accepting this group of people, but the flower arms of this strong man may indicate an unrestrained temperament, and he Luo someone's army cannot tolerate unruly existence. Therefore, if the strong man does not answer correctly, the end result is that he will receive these "flower arms", but will not place them in the regular army.

The smile on Li Kai's face converged a lot, lowered his head and thought about it for a while, and then suddenly raised his head as if he had been bitten by a snake, and said abruptly: "This is what it should mean, what Lang Jun said, I also understand that if the weapon is left for three days, it will feel strange, and only by practicing hard every day can there be elite soldiers!" As for military discipline, it is even more of a scale, if at the time of war, someone ignores military discipline and retreats, it will kill Pao Ze's life! ”

"Very good!" Luo Kai clapped his hands first, cheered, and then said: "In this way, a certain family will accept you and others to defect." But the night before you were hostile, and the punishment of digging a ditch is inevitable, and you need to carry out this proposal after it is completed! ”

"That's exactly how it should be!" Li Kai respectfully agreed.

However, his ending was not good, because his wife was not virtuous and his son was not filial and offended Liu E, the empress dowager of Zhang Xian, he was repeatedly belittled, and he committed suicide with a strong temperament.
