When I woke up, it was already afternoon, and the bamboo behind the house was swaying in the wind. A crisp birdsong sounded with the sound of swaying, followed by the sound of the wind blowing bamboo leaves.

The door was opened, and before Li Miao walked in, a hearty voice came: "Liu Sheng, you can make it easy for me to find."

"Why are you here?" Liu Sheng looked at Li Miao and was surprised, shouldn't he be in the embassy at this time, bearing the anger of the sword mountain and the sea of fire? Why is there still time to come here.

Li Miao looked at Liu Sheng's surprised expression, and her smile became a little thicker: "Are you surprised why I am here, and I am so happy."

"Shouldn't you accept that anger at the embassy? How do you have time to come here? “。 Liu Sheng saw that Li Miao picked up the words, so he didn't hide it and said it directly.

Li Miao looked at Liu Sheng and pointed to a chair. Liu Sheng only remembered that it was too rude at this time, and hurriedly said embarrassedly: "Look at it, don't blame you for being sloppy for a while, don't blame it." Please take a seat".

After Li Miao sat down, he explained to Liu Sheng: "I rushed to visit at this time to thank you for your kindness yesterday."

"You're welcome, I didn't thank you for your wine yesterday." Liu Sheng heard Li Miao say that he made a special trip to thank him, and hurriedly arrived politely.

Li Miao heard Liu Sheng talk about wine, and remembered the scene last night, with a look of shame on his face: "Ashamed, ashamed, there were some Meng Lang yesterday."

"Brother Li is wrong, if it weren't for yesterday. How could I have met you? “。 Liu Sheng hurriedly said, think about last night. At this time, I understood why throughout the ages, people like to make friends at the wine table.

Thinking of this, Li Miao also smiled and said, "If it weren't for the order of the lowly inside, I wouldn't be so polite to you." After all, no matter what the two of us say, we have confided in each other after drinking, so why should we be so polite."

"Yes, although Brother Li and I have known each other for a short time. But after all, they have all said some heart-wrenching things, and there is nothing better than making friends," Liu Sheng also hurriedly sighed and said, thinking about what they had chatted about yesterday.

Li Miao heard Liu Sheng say this, and a smile appeared on his face: "I am happy today because I have just sent the Liao people back to the embassy. I wanted to find a reason to run, but I didn't expect it to succeed. You said that if you succeeded in avoiding a catastrophe, would you be happy in your heart?"

"Then I will congratulate Brother Li, if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing in the future." Liu Sheng teased.

Li Miao suddenly showed a gloomy expression, and said to Liu Sheng: "Bah, bah...... What kind of catastrophe does not die, this topic ends here, and I am still a little confused about what you said yesterday."

"What happened yesterday? Disaster? War? Liu Sheng asked suspiciously, obviously a little forgotten.

Li Miao saw that Liu Sheng was confused, and reminded: "That's it, these old foxes."

"Are you saying that they dare not go to war or not go to war, they are waiting for someone, willingly carrying the infamy of eternity." Liu Sheng also sighed, but they didn't want to think about what would happen if no one carried the world.

Li Miao heard Liu Sheng's statement and said in admiration: "Didn't you say? These are the people...... Hey, you say I, how should I choose".

"I'm not you, I don't know what you're going to do. I just want to ask you a few questions." Liu Sheng saw Li Miao's confused appearance and asked in an open voice.

Li Miao sat up straight and asked respectfully, "I would like to hear about it."

"If there is a war, what are the chances of our victory," Liu Sheng asked as he looked at Li Miao's serious appearance.

Li Miao thought about it carefully, and the news he had known in the court over the years: "Our dynasty has more troops than Liao, and more weapons and armor than Liao. If it is said that the morale is not inferior to that of Liao, the supply of grain and grass is several times that of Liao. Based on these, I will ask for the voice of war, so out of control. Last night you told me because of the famine. As a result, our DPRK's treasury is insufficient, so we cannot go to war. After thinking about it, it still doesn't hold. Over the years, the state has attached great importance to famines, and many granaries have been built in good years. Although natural disasters have continued in recent years, they have not shaken the country's foundation."

"You only see the surface, you tell me, what kind of troops my dynasty is, and how many can I really fight." When Liu Sheng heard Li Miao say, the more doubts on his face became, and he hurriedly explained.

Li Miao pondered and replied: "As far as I know, except for the Hunan army recruited in the disaster year. Zhengzhen can only fight 400,000, and Liao 480,000."

"This is not the main thing, the Liao State is cavalry, we are infantry. Cavalry fighting infantry is a war of annihilation. Infantry fighting cavalry is a rout battle. If we don't prepare, we can't afford to lose." Liu Sheng explained in detail to Li Miao.

After hearing this, Li Miao sighed: "I see, the court can't afford to lose. I can only negotiate peace, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult."

"If we continue like this, we are afraid of only one war, and it is inevitable." Liu Sheng said melancholy, and suddenly felt unnecessary, after all, these things were far away from him.

Li Miao sighed and remembered all the difficulties in the past, made a decision in his heart, and said to Liu Sheng: "That's it, since that's the case, then let me bear this infamy."

Liu Sheng looked at Li Miao's determined gaze, and couldn't help asking, "Actually, Brother Li has already thought about it."

Li Miao looked at Liu Sheng's affairs and suddenly laughed: "I have been an official for more than 20 years, how can I not know this." After thinking about it, I found that you have a good vision and want to test you, it seems that you are really a poor sour person with goods in his heart."

"Alas, the villain is not a good road. Brother Li, have you really thought it through? “。 Liu Sheng also wanted to persuade him, after all, bearing these infamy, his heart would suffer a lot.

Li Miao looked at Liu Sheng and suddenly laughed: "Young man, you are still young. I know how many people have gone through dangers and obstacles all their lives in order to leave a name in history, just wanting to get a place in the history books. If I stand up and bear the infamy, I don't need to do anything more. Naturally, these scholars will leave a place for me in the history books. Such a cost-effective thing, why don't I do it".

"Brother Li is noble, there is Brother Li in the world, which is the luck of the people in the world." Liu Sheng bowed heavily to Li Miao, and now he understands in his heart that sometimes those who bear infamy in history often silently pay a lot to the country and the nation.
