"I have to admire Zhang Xutuo!"

Li Xian praised sincerely: "If it were me, I wouldn't dare to bring only a dozen of my relatives to the enemy's camp to negotiate, even if there is a tiger general like Uncle Qin Bao Luo Shixin by my side, I still don't dare." ”

Daxi Changru smiled and said, "An Zhi, I want to ask you a question. ”

Li Xian hummed and said, "You ask." ”

Daxi Changru paused for a moment, as if he was sorting out the wording: "Do you want to take the two counties of Qilu in the future?" ”

Li Xian thought for a while and nodded: "Qilu is rich, and it is the land of foundation. Later, when the people of Yanyunzhai grow stronger, they will naturally take Qilu and Qilu. ”

Daxi Changru sighed: "Then don't you think you missed a good opportunity?" ”

Li Xian smiled and asked, "Master means that I should take this opportunity to take down Zhang Xutuo?" ”

Daxi Changru nodded and said: "The reason why Qilu and Qilu are rich is because there is Zhang Xutuo in charge, and no one can attack the team on the green forest road near and far, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Xutuo is the guardian saint of Qilu and Qilu." As long as he is eliminated, there will be no good generals in the land of Qilu, and if Yanyunzhai attacks with all his strength, there should be no problem in taking these two counties. With such a great opportunity, why don't you take it? ”

Li Xian looked at Daxi Changru and said seriously: "Master obviously knows what I think, why do you still want to ask me?" ”

Daxi Changru smiled dumbly and said, "If I don't listen to you, I still feel a little sorry after all." ”

Li Xian thought for a while and said, "It's too early. ”

"Qilu is rich, I do look greedy, if it is well run, it is a real foothold, but it is indeed too early to go to Qilu and Qilu now. Although the Great Sui is about to fall like a decaying giant tree, its military might should not be underestimated. Now that the million-strong army of the Great Sui is still in Liaodong, it seems to be a good choice to take this opportunity to take the two places of Qilu, but Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, once we kill Zhang Xutuo and then take Qi County and Lu County, it will immediately become the target of public criticism. The imperial court will inevitably mobilize troops and horses to attack, and with the current strength of our Yanyunzhai, we can't withstand the full force of the Great Sui. ”

"In the past, those who had the idea of fighting Qi County, such as Wang Bo, Sun Xuanya, Hao Jiande, Shihezi, Pei Changcai and others just wanted to plunder, and they didn't dare to occupy these two places. Once someone really occupies these two places, in addition to the army mobilized by the imperial court, they will have to deal with the challenges of other rebel armies. ”

"It's still too early to occupy Qilu now. Wait a little longer, wait for the foundation of the Great Sui to rot more completely, and when the time comes, don't talk about the green forest road, even if it is the general of the guards, the governors of various places, and even the county guards of each county are afraid that they will take advantage of the chaos, and the Sui will lose its deer, and everyone wants a piece of the pie. At that time, whoever has a hard fist from all walks of life has the final say, and there is no need to worry about the blow of the imperial court, we occupy Dongping County next to Qilu, and we are not in a hurry. ”

He glanced at the stars in the sky and said seriously: "Moreover, I don't want to make enemies with Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao because of this. Both of them are rare generals, if we can get the help of the two of them in the future, our Yanyunzhai will be like a tiger. ”

Daxi Changru smiled: "Speaking of which, the last sentence is the real reason!" ”

Li Xian smiled, sighed after taking a sip of wine: "A city and a place are easy to obtain, but a good one will be hard to find." ”

He said in a low voice: "If I had to choose between Qi Jun and Luo Shixin Qin Shubao, I would rather not have Qi Jun than miss out on the two of them." ”

Daxi Changru nodded and said: "Now our Yanyunzhai is not short of elite soldiers but lacks strong generals, speaking of iron wolf, Luo Fu, Dongfang Agni, leading a battalion of soldiers and horses is already its greatest ability, in terms of martial arts, a few of them can barely get on the stage, but in terms of the art of war, the battle array cannot be called a general." Speaking of which, now our Yanyunzhai can only be of great use to the vast sea, Niu Jinda, Liu Heimin, although you let Chen Que'er be the main general of the water army, but in my opinion, Chen Que'er's talent is not enough to take on this important task. ”

Li Xian didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that what Daxi Changru said was right. Now the five captains of the Five Elements Battalion, except for the majestic sea, the other four are all from the Blood Rider and the Iron Floating Horse Thief. The reason why he was so appointed at that time was because there were really no generals under Li Xian at that time, and these four people were also confidants. In terms of ability, the Iron Fang Wolf is better, Dongfang Agni, Chao Qiuge, and Luo Fu are all worse in terms of overall situation. But now Chen Queer's Niu Jinda and Liu Heimin are quite insightful.

After calculating it, the five captains of the Five Elements Battalion, but only Xiong Kuohai can indeed be regarded as a general.

Daxi Changru said with a smile: "Although Pei Xingyan looks a little silly, he has been fighting with his father since he was a child, and he is well-informed and brave, which can be useful." ”

Li Xian nodded, smiled and said as if talking to himself: "There will be, there will be." ”

……

……

Zhang Xutuo and the others did not leave in a hurry that night, although it was very likely that Li Xian would be used by some people with ulterior motives to accuse him of fornication and anti-thief, but because of Luo Shixin, Zhang Xutuo had to come. It stands to reason that Luo Shixin is just his subordinate, and he has no reason to make such a mistake because of a subordinate. Even if Luo Shixin insisted, he didn't have to compromise, but he knew that even if he didn't come, he couldn't stop Luo Shixin. Even if he ordered Luo Shixin to be tied up, it would only make the two of them deviate from morality and never return to their former affection.

In the entire Qi County, only Zhang Xutuo himself knew Luo Shixin's identity, and even Qin Qiong always thought that Luo Shixin was a bitter child born in cattle herding, because with Qin Qiong's benevolence and righteousness, he would not doubt what Luo Shixin said in person, although this lie was full of loopholes, and the mere fact was already suspicious. A child from a poor family, herding cattle all day, where can he practice such a skill? Ordinary people can't afford to use that lance at all, and they can't afford to hire a master who is good at using a lance.

But Qin Qiong never asked Luo Shixin, because he knew that when the time came, Luo Shixin would naturally tell him that he would have to deliberately conceal it now.

It was precisely because Zhang Xutuo knew Luo Shixin's identity that he would risk being impeached and come to see Li Xian all the way. What he was afraid of was that if Luo Shixin was bewitched by the thief of Yanyun Village and refused to go back, it would be really difficult to explain. Luo Shixin is a man of great righteousness, but whenever he considers him a brother, he will have a heart-to-heart fellowship. Zhang Xutuo was really afraid that if Li Xianqiang left Luo Shixin, then he and Luo Shixin's father would have no way to explain. Fortunately, he has a good relationship with Pei Yingzhi, the county guard of Qi County, and Pei Yingzhi also knows that Qi County is inseparable from Zhang Xutuo's truth, and the people and officials of Qi County have a lot of respect for Zhang Xutuo, so he is not too worried that someone will take this opportunity to report to the imperial court.

What Zhang Xutuo didn't expect was that he would actually meet Daxi Changru among the people of Yanyun Village.

The two talked for half the night, and slowly the topic shifted from the battle of Honghua to the decay of the Great Sui today. In front of Daxi Changru, there is no need for Zhang Xutuo to hide his true thoughts. Talking in the middle of the night, he finally expressed all the grievances that had accumulated in his heart over the past few years.

Being able to meet Daxi Changru was the biggest gain from this meeting with Li Xian.

This is something that makes him happy, but what worries him is that even a real famous general like Daxi Changru is willing to assist the young man who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, willing to forget his previous glory and willing to give advice behind the scenes, what is the origin of that young man? How did he make people like Daxi Changru follow willingly? If he is angry, this is obviously not a good reason.

Young people value righteousness and will indeed be respected.

A person like Daxi Changru has seen through the ups and downs of the world, how can he be so superficial?

He was worried that the edifice of the Great Sui would collapse, whether he still had the ability to protect Qi County, and how the people in the world could be stable and peaceful.

After a deep conversation with Daxi Changru, although he said some of the troubles accumulated in his heart, that kind of short-term smoothness could not hide the deep worries in his heart.

This night, Zhang Xutuo had no sleep all night.

In the second half of the night, seeing that the lights in his tent were still on, Qin Qiong put on a piece of clothing and went out of the military tent where he lived to take a look, and when he went out, he saw Luo Shixin also walking out of the tent with a bag of wine. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and entered Zhang Xutuo's military tent together.

……

……

"Why hasn't the general rested?"

Luo Shixin sat down on the stool, handed the wine bag in his hand to Zhang Xutuo and asked with a smile, "Why don't I have a few more drinks with Brother Qin?" ”

Zhang Xutuo looked at Luo Shixin and then at Qin Qiong with a kind face, and nodded with a smile: "It's a pity, there is no wine and no food." ”

Luo Shixin stood up and said with a smile as he walked out: "Why be polite to the big boss of Yanyun Village, even if the three of us eat and drink here for nothing and take it for nothing, can we still eat him?" He didn't ask Zhang Xutuo if he agreed, and went directly outside to find the personal soldiers specially sent by Li Xian who was patrolling, and asked him to help get some wine and meat. Li Xian's personal soldiers were arranged to prevent his soldiers from clashing with Zhang Xutuo and others, and also to facilitate Luo Shixin's needs.

Soon, Li Xian's personal soldiers walked in with a large tray full of meat, and said to Luo Shixin and the others with a smile: "The general has ordered, so this wine and meat have been prepared." The meat was still hot, just enough to drink. ”

Luo Shixin smiled: "I'll just say, An Zhi is not a stingy person. ”

Li Xian's personal soldiers turned around and left after putting down the wine and meat, and only stood and pressed their knives to guard dozens of meters away from the military tent, Zhang Xutuo nodded and said: "This big boss of Yanyun Village is also a downright person, otherwise just let his personal soldiers stand not far from the door, and the three of us have to be careful about whatever we want to say." ”

Qin Qiong smiled: "In my opinion, Li Xian can't do such a childish thing." ”

Zhang Xutuo took a sip of wine, was silent for a while and asked Qin Qiong: "Shubao, it seems that you also have a lot of respect for this big boss of Yanyun Village?" This is not like your character, you are jealous and hateful, there have been so many thieves who have died in your hands in the past few years, and I have never seen you have any good feelings for the leader of a thief. ”

Qin Qiong was slightly stunned, sighed self-deprecatingly, and said: "Maybe it's because I've seen too many dirty things that people have nothing to say in the past year, and it's hard for me to distinguish what a thief is." Besides, the big boss of Yanyunzhai is not the same as Wang Bo Zhang Jin, he does not disturb the people, does not slaughter the good, I heard that he also divides the good land to the people in Dongping County, and they Yanyunzhai comes to produce grain seeds, and the harvest is very low. Speaking of which...... For the first time, it made me realize that there are also benevolent people who are anti-thieves. ”

Zhang Xutuo drank all the wine in the cup, his eyes were sad.

"Da Sui, what's wrong?"

He wiped a handful of wine from his chin, and felt that his mouth was full of bitterness: "It's only been thirty years, just thirty years, how did the Great Sui decay to this point?" ”

Luo Shixin was silent, took a big sip of wine, and looked at the large plate of steaming and fragrant meat, but he had no appetite at all.

Qin Qiong sighed: "If it was a year ago, I might not have believed it myself, I would sit down with a group of thieves to eat and drink, and I didn't feel a little guilty in my heart." ”

There was a long silence that followed, and the three of them drank, none of them knowing what to say. In this way, until all the wine was drunk by the three of them, Luo Shixin got up and planned to ask for wine again but was stopped by Zhang Xutuo, he looked at the two subordinates he admired and loved the most, and suddenly said something that shocked the two of them.

"If one of them says that I am dead, and the court is unkind, you two... Let's find a good way out for yourself, this Da Sui ...... There's no going back. ”

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin never thought that Zhang Xutuo would be able to say such a thing.

Zhang Xutuo looked at the surprised looks of the two, smiled and waved his hand: "I'm old, you are still young, no matter how chaotic the world is, it will be peaceful after all, you two have followed me for so long, I still don't know what my heart is?" Shu Bao is loyal and benevolent, and the letter is straightforward, neither of you are ruthless people who can use intrigue and trickery, so you can't achieve great things by yourself, the Great Sui is about to end, it's really going to be over, you two remember, if you want to choose, you have to choose a person who can really achieve great things to assist, with your ability to worship the marquis in the future, it will be easy, and you can't say that you can create another family! After I die, you don't have to guard this rotten Great Sui anymore. ”

He suddenly smiled, his face was desolate: "And when I get mad after drinking, in my life, I have never been so frivolous as I am now, I can watch the Great Sui dominate the world, I can't imagine that maybe I can see it die and become invisible......"
