Section 5 Xiazhou Council (Middle)
Glancing at the expressions of the three people present, Luo Kaixian straightened his thoughts in his heart and asked, "Since that Yeli Hammerstone is so difficult, does Brother Deming have a strategy to ensure the stability of Xia Prefecture?" ”
"This ......" Li Deming hesitated, but he was muttering in his heart, where do I have a strategy, on one side is the constantly advancing uncle, and on the other side is the hope of the Tuoba family who can't let go, if it weren't for the fact that I lost too much in the previous war, I wouldn't have this passive situation now.
The content of Luo Kaixian's inquiry is also what he has been worried about recently, when he can't sleep at midnight, he doesn't know how many times he has thought about it, and the conceited and intelligent Han strategists under him don't have any feasible solutions, so how can he answer?
Lu Shouren, who was listening, didn't want the two families to have a stalemate, and seeing that Li Deming couldn't reply, he opened his mouth to relieve the siege and said: "The general doesn't know, since he returned to Xiazhou from Lingzhou two months ago, the Yeli Department and the Duluo Ministries have repeatedly pressed the commander to deal with the matter, and that Yeli Hushi has repeatedly said that he will lead his troops to attack Lingzhou after the beginning of spring......"
And at the same time that Luo Kai asked first, he was also thinking about it in his heart, what should he do if he was in Li Deming's position - it is obviously impossible to lead the Tuoba Department and the Yeli Department to start a war, that will definitely make the two major forces of the Eastern Zhao Song and Northern Liao applaud, and it is impossible to jointly attack Lingzhou to the west, Yeli Hanshi does not know the strength of Lingzhou, how can Li Deming not know?
The sun is getting brighter and brighter, Luo Kaixian squinted his eyes at Li Deming, who was silent on the side, and suddenly thought of another possibility, after the defeat of Polo's army, the people inside the Tuoba Department are probably also about to move, right?
Perhaps the reason for Li Deming's silence is not because of his uncle Ye Li Hanshi, but because of his relatives.
Thinking about these things in an instant, Luo Kaixian made up an idea in his heart, he must support Li Deming's command of most of the party. At this time, there is no room for internal strife within the party - that is not in the interests of someone else.
Of course, there is another reason, he calls Li Deming Brother Deming not for no reason, but for recognition of this man who can afford to let go of the party.
By the way, Li Deming didn't care about the people who died in the war before - because that was their fate, all Li Deming had to do was take care of their families; Luo Kaixian didn't care either-because it was his enemy, and he was not merciful on the battlefield, he was not a good man, and he had long been used to it.
With a wave of his hand, Luo Kaixian interrupted Lu Shouren's words, "Brother Deming, do you care about the life of the wild and fierce stones?" ”
"Why is the general asking such questions?" Feeling that Luo Kaixian's words were strange, Li Deming stopped his thoughts, his eyes lit up, stared at Luo Kaixian and asked: "The general must have a way to solve this dilemma, but please explain, so, everything!" ”
"Ha, Brother Deming, what did your uncle Ye Li Humstone do more than use your Polo defeat as an excuse to suppress your prestige? Powerful and interested! In a few words, Luo Kaixian straightforwardly pulled the root of the dispute to the forefront, and when he saw everyone nodding in approval, he continued: "You must have come from the northern road when you are right, and you have never seen those frozen corpses...... Oh, last night there were thieves who tried to attack the camp in vain, and more than 100 people were killed by a certain and his men, and more than 30 people were captured, and tomorrow a certain person will be put to death, Deming, you might as well inform someone who will come to watch the execution......"
The three of them looked at each other, and while they were terrified, they all understood that the drama meat had not yet spoken, so they all concentrated and calmed, and their six eyes flashed and waited for the following.
"This time I came to the east, when I passed through Yanzhou, I explained to the city guard that it was Deming your visitor, and there were many clear instructions along the way, but there were still people who dared to attack the camp in Xiazhou. When Wild Sharp Rock comes tomorrow, he will make an appointment with him...... As long as he discourages his reputation within the party clan, what other face will he embarrass you? Luo Kaixian didn't sell it, and told the plan in his heart in one breath.
"Jodo?" Li Deming was still a little confused, "Why did he promise to fight?" General, aren't you worried about your safety? ”
"Because the thieves who attacked the camp at night are the people of the Yeli Department and the Duluo Department, you said that you killed them in front of them tomorrow, how should Yeli Hushidang deal with it?" When it comes to killing, Luo Kaixian's tone is always light.
It's not that he treats human life like a mustard, but that the guys who attacked the camp at night are standing in the ranks of his enemies, and they can't say that they should use their heads.
"Hiss......" The three of them invariably gasped for air.
Wang Nan is the most honest person, and he was also stunned by the actions of his own commander.
Lu Shouren thought more, and understood that the Lord would not do useless work, but he was worried about doing so, and decided to return to the camp and ordered his subordinates to wait for him.
Li Deming was sighing, after Lingzhou returned to summer, he was at a loss in the face of the criticism of his subordinates, and now with the arrival of Luo Kaixian, there has finally been a turnaround, but this turnaround is so sharp, this Luo someone, wouldn't he want to take the opportunity to launch a killing in winter, right?
Li Deming's heart was like lightning, and he couldn't help but ask: "The general only brought 400 people, aren't you worried about triggering a big war, and your own safety is in danger?" ”
"Well, the matter of conquest is as easy as a palm, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the land of seven rivers are besieging a certain family, and what can be done in this area of Hexi? Besides, when he was about to fight in the wilderness and was humiliated by the killing of his subordinates, how could he hold back his silence? Not to kill him to vent his anger, but to attack his prestige...... Once the wild Li Humstone is defeated, how should the Deming brothers control the wild Li Division? "Although he only brought four hundred soldiers, Luo Kaixian really didn't care that Hexi would be besieged here, first, it was difficult to transfer troops in this era and season, and second, he had the mental strength to cheat, and he could investigate the surrounding situation at any time, and four hundred soldiers were enough to become a steel knife to smash any enemy.
Li Deming suddenly understood, twisted the short hair of his chin, and for the first time had a relaxed expression on his face, and said: "Yeli is a certain mother clan, and the people close to him are naturally not only Yeli Hushi, if he can't afford it, he has someone else to rule the clan, and with the general's actions, his subordinates will be able to regain control of Xiazhou!" I just want the general not to lose his life! ”
Speaking of the second half, the great commander directly claimed to be a subordinate, which can be regarded as a disguised loyalty to Luo Kaixian.
Luo Kaixian, who came from later generations, did not believe in the words of loyalty, he believed more in action than in words, but no matter how low the EQ is, people also know how to raise their hands and not hit smiling people, Luo Kaixian will not cut Li Deming's face, "Brother Deming, peace of mind is that the life of Yeli Hushishi is in his own hands, and he will not accumulate insoluble grudges for a human life!" Can you remember...... Two months ago, I agreed with Jun that it would be a brotherly alliance from now on, and in the future, we would jointly plot Hexi, Guanlong and even the land of Xiqiang (Xijiang), which is not a joke, a matter of the moment, but trivial things, don't be blinded by the mess in front of you! ”
Because the party clan cannot be destroyed, so whether it is to suppress it strongly, or to win over the hearts of the people, Luo Kaixian feels that he must encircle this speaker of the party clan, of course, in his eyes, this great commander who has never abandoned the name of the Han is still worthy of his appreciation.
"Oh, what the general said is very true!" Li Deming learned the Han people's saying and promised, he is not a reckless person, he understands the wit in Luo Kaixian's words.
Raising his finger and pointing at Li Deming, who was sitting across from him, Luo Kaixian said with the corners of his mouth upturned: "It is called the alliance of brothers...... If you are doing three things at home, the Deming brothers should call you the third brother or the third brother, why are you still called a general? ”
People with cold faces will not be taken seriously if they joke, at least Li Deming doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Luo now, he raised his hand and arched it, but his mouth was quite embarrassed and said, "Don't dare!" ”
After a few heavy back-and-forths, the meeting finally entered the small talk stage.
It was noon, Luo Kaixian ordered his soldiers to bring up the prepared food, and several people gathered together to munch, although it was not very in line with the etiquette of this era, but it was a rare relationship with each other.
Luo Kaixian and Li Deming used to be rivals, but now they are collaborators; Wang Nan, Lu Shouren and Luo Kaixian were originally victors and captives, but now they are superiors and subordinates; And the two Luo Kaixian's subordinates were originally Li Deming's subordinates, but now they are part of the security of Xiazhou (and monitoring...... The confusion is resolved through a simple dinner, in which the efficacy ratio is really beyond words.
Of course, this is only the case with military-style dialogues, both classical and contemporary.
There was no wine, but everyone was a little drunk; There is no tea, but everyone who is comfortable in their hearts has a kind of passionate germination for the future.
……
In the afternoon, after planning the arrangements for the near future, the worries about Xiazhou also went to a large part, and Luo Kaixian, who was happy in his heart, was very excited, and shouted loudly: "The past is agreed, Brother Deming doesn't need to say much, and look at the future action!" Olki, go to the tent next door and bring me the gifts I have for you! ”
"And gifts?" Li Deming, Wang Nan, and Lu Shouren are very strange in their hearts, Luo is a strong general, according to the current custom, it is already good not to ask his subordinates to give gifts, how can they still give gifts to their subordinates?
After a while, Alki led a few soldiers to carry over three huge wooden boxes, the boxes were not good-looking, and even very simple, but the heaviness of the landing still made the three of them feel frightened, they thought it was gold and silver, but they didn't expect that after the lid of the box was opened, everyone looked at it and found that it was not a large and small reed box, but a delicate wooden box two feet long and half a foot wide and half a foot high.
After sweeping the puzzled expressions of several people, Luo Kaixian said with some smugness: "Don't be stunned, open it and take a look, inside the big wooden box is the newly trial-made inner armor, this is a copy issued to you, wear it and try it to see if it is suitable...... Don't worry about those small boxes, they are the sundries of toiletries, and they are also newly made objects in Lingzhou, and they are brought back to the mother-in-law at home, so that the women in the family are also happy. ”
The three of them operated according to their words, and soon saw the exquisite inner armor in the exquisite wooden box.
In this day and age, both good and bad blades can kill enemies, but good armor can save lives, and bad armor can kill one's own life. Li Deming, Wang Nan and Lu Shouren, who are walking on the edge of life and death, how can they not understand the good and bad?
Looking at the three people with shiny eyes, Luo Kaixian said a little playfully: "Recruit someone to help you try it on, it's useless to look drooling like this!" ”
Naturally, the three of them did not go to this humble camp outside the city alone, their own soldiers were summoned, and they were given a test under the guidance of others.
Luo Kaixian watched a few people try out the equipment while holding their chests up, and explained leisurely: "This kind of armor is double-layer leather bonding, mixed with a steel wire keel in the middle, and with the steel armor on the chest, it can completely prevent ordinary arrows and swords from chopping...... It's not as heavy as the original armor, but it's sturdy but not the worst. Now, it's winter, and it's just the right time to wear it under a leather robe......"
With the help of his own soldiers, Wang Nan wore the newly made inner armor, and said in a loud voice: "Lord, this armor is not conspicuous at all when worn on the body, and it is not heavy, it is really a good object!" I don't know if it's a lot? Can you supply the soldiers? ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Shouren and Li Deming on the side also glanced at them with concern.
