"But Luzhou is the gateway to the south of Taiyuan, and Luzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once Luzhou is lost, I don't know when and when it can be recaptured again! Father, we can't give up all the territory outside of Taiyuan Mansion! Li Cunqiao's words could not be said to be sharp.

Hearing this, Li Ke let out a long sigh and muttered, "I don't know what you say!" But you also heard what Li'er said just now. That Tatar barbarian is the most bullying and afraid of the soft, if he sees that my Taiyuan army is weak, maybe he will send troops to take away my inheritance! In this way, Li Hanzhi is just a sibling. ”

When Li Cunmiao heard this, his face turned red and white for a while, and he suddenly stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "The child has a plan here, don't mistake his father and the king to guard Taiyuan!" ”

Li Keyong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Li Cunqiao's hand and said, "Miao'er, the plan will be released!" ”

"The child invited himself to have an army number, and one or two thousand soldiers and horses, recruiting troops and horses along the way, and he will definitely be able to recover Luzhou!" Li Cunmiao's words can be described as a bolt from the blue, which made Li Keyong shocked.

Li Ke clasped Li Cunqiao's hand and persuaded him: "Miao'er, how can you ......?"

Li Cunmiao broke free of Li Keyong's hand, took two steps back, knelt down on one knee, and cried: "My father established the world with hegemony, and many heroes in the world were offended. If my father loses Luzhou again, I'm afraid that he will only be able to survive in the future! The child begged his father to grant the child's request! So that the child can share the worries of his father! ”

Although Li Hanzhi hated his father, his ability was also quite jealous of his father. You've been there for a little while, but you're just sending sheep into the tiger's mouth! How can you be called a Father and answer you! Li Ke looked at the begging Li Cunqiao with a complicated expression, and his tone was very resolute.

"Father! The eagle does not read the test flight, how can it soar into the sky. The child asked his father to agree to the child's request, as if it was an experience for the child. And there are thousands of troops to escort him, and the child can't beat Li Hanzhi, can't he run back? Li Cunmiao was not moved by Li Keyong's words, and still insisted on his decision.

Li Keyong's face flashed with a hesitant look when he heard the words, and after half a sound, he let out a long sigh and said, "Alas! In this way, you will have an army of 1,000 crows, but everything depends on your own safety. The city is gone, and it can be taken. If I don't even have a surname, where will my father take it back for me? ”

When Li Cunmiao heard this, he was overjoyed, and kowtowed: "The child thanks his father for his kindness!" ”

Kang Junli and the other reactionaries were on the side, sighing and not saying much, but when they looked at Li Cunqiao again, their eyes were a little more admiring. is no longer the same as in the past, purely out of respect for Li Cunqiao as a son.

However, I don't know if Li Ke is not alone in trouble, and has just solved the problem in Luzhou. When a group of henchmen and important ministers had just left, they saw the butler leading a person to run into the White Tiger Hall with a panicked expression.

"King Chitose of Jin is here, who is coming! What's the panic! Li Sizhao, the soldier and horse envoy of the Dianyi'er army, stretched out his hand to stop the two, and history shouted.

"Li Siyuan wants to rebel!" The person who was taken by the housekeeper paused slightly, and under Li Sizhao's fierce gaze, he responded urgently. There was endless panic in his tone, but it also quickly shocked the generals who had just withdrawn from the White Tiger Hall.

"Get inside! Retribution and Chitose! Everyone was stunned, and the messenger couldn't help but be anxious, but he didn't dare to push away Li Sizhao, who stopped him, and shouted helplessly.

When the generals heard this, they asked the steward to leave first. Hurriedly walked into the White Tiger Hall with the messenger. The soldiers of the White Tiger Hall were about to stop the messenger, but they saw so many henchmen and important ministers with them. After hesitating, he let the messenger in.

Lick propped his hands on the map, not knowing what he was thinking. Hearing a burst of messy and hurried footsteps, he hurriedly raised his head, only to see that the head Kang Junli, Li Sizhao and others looked panicked, Li Keyong couldn't help but sink his heart, and shouted in a low voice: "What happened!" ”

"Father! The big Taibao wants to rebel! Li Sizhao came to Li Keyong's side with an arrow and said nervously.

Li Ke's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he just said something.

Kang Junli waved his hand and persuaded: "Father, the child thinks that this matter is now decided, and it is too early to say. But there is no wind and no waves, and the child thinks that he will listen to the messenger! ”

Li Keyong saw that there was an ordinary dressed person among the generals, and he couldn't help but turn pale, and shouted: "You know the crime of slandering important officials of the court!" If you let the Lone King know that you are full of nonsense, you will be dragged out and the five horses will be divided! ”

The messenger was just an ordinary person, and he could stand Li Ke's domineering posture, so he couldn't help but kneel down on his knees in a hurry, touch his head to the ground, and mourn: "Chitose! The villain is just a messenger and doesn't know anything! Don't know anything! ”

Li Keyong frowned and said, "Then you say, why does the Great Taibao want to rebel?" ”

"The villain is the captain of Hao Yi's personal army, the guard of Shiling, and the villain is just reporting for the general!" The messenger hurriedly said, "General Hao Yi met General Li Siyuan by chance on April 13 disguised as a refugee. The general couldn't help but be very surprised, so he secretly sent the villain to investigate, and the villain secretly followed, and found that General Li Siyuan had walked on a mountain road, and he had a secret talk. Because of the fear of being discovered, the villain just hid in the grass far away, because it was too far away, and he only faintly heard it at first, His Royal Highness King Qin...... It's done...... Hedong Jiedu envoy and so on a few words. After a long time, suddenly there was a dispute between the two, and the villain saw that General Li Siyuan seemed to be very excited, and he suddenly shouted: 'Although I don't like my father and king to collude with the Tatars, my father deserves to die.' Then the man hurriedly made a silent gesture to the side, and then the villain faintly heard the words of the town. ”

Li Keyong's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he lowered his head, and after half a ring. The only one who had been with a single eye flashing a dazzling gaze, gritted his teeth and said, "There is evidence!" ”

When the messenger heard this, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The villain doesn't dare to deceive Chitose, the villain has no physical evidence." However, the villain knew that General Li Siyuan had said to the people around him when he was retreating, 'Father, this is to give up the northeast part of the river!' And bring in the Tatar iron horsemen! It's going to be a scorched earth! I don't know when I can regain the rivers and mountains! With that, he dismounted and wrapped a piece of soil in sackcloth, apparently dissatisfied with Chitose. ”

When Kang Junli heard this, his eyes flickered, and he surprisingly didn't speak.

Li Keyong hesitated, and saw that no one in the hall spoke for Li Siyuan, and couldn't help but shake his trust in Li Siyuan. After hesitating, he asked, "Do you recognize the appearance of the person who came into contact with Li Siyuan!" ”

"Recognize! Recognize! The messenger hurriedly answered, raised his head, and seemed to be caught in a memory, and after a while, spoke: "The man who came has a dark face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, yes! He also has a pure Hedong accent, maybe he is still from Hedong! ”

Li Ke frowned when he heard this, and shouted to the outside world: "Come on, pen and ink are waiting!" You don't know what you're saying, so let's draw it! ”

The messenger nodded hurriedly and said, and soon someone sent the four treasures of the study. Half an hour later, the messenger finally finished drawing the image. However, when everyone saw it, their faces immediately changed slightly.

Li Sizhao pointed to the portrait and said in a lost voice: "Isn't this Zhou Dewei?" ”

Zhou Dewei is Li Cunhuan's important minister, but this is well known. Moreover, he is also a former general of Hedong, and it is naturally best for him to come forward to persuade the general to surrender to Hedong. can lead by example, showing how good Lu Long can mix. Second, you can set friendships. Third, I am more familiar with the situation in Hedong.

And Li Keyong's face was gloomy for a moment, as if it was covered with dark clouds, and the sky flashed with lightning in the clouds.

Li Sien, the seventh Taibao, took a step forward, hesitated, and said: "Father, the eldest brother knows the soldiers and horses of the two passes, and he is the commander of the soldiers and horses of the two passes. And there are many fierce generals under him. Don't move! ”

The words of Li Sien, the seventh Taibao, obviously doubted Li Siyuan's loyalty, not in terms of feelings, but in terms of position. Obviously, he also has little confidence in Li Siyuan, in fact, this is obvious. As the saying goes, when disaster comes, each flies. In the past, it was said that Cao Ying defeated Yuan Shao, and he received letters from countless generals secretly communicating with Yuan Shao. With Cao Ying's personality charm and means of winning over his subordinates, that's it! Is Li Keyong more powerful than Cao Ying?

"What about the opinion you're waiting for?" Li Ke was silent for a while, I don't know why, but suddenly calmed down, turned around, slowly came to the tiger skin chair and sat down peacefully, and said in a deep voice. Mirroring the picture of the tiger descending the mountain behind him, it makes people feel that the current Li Keyong is like a tiger that has pounced, and everyone can't help but bow their heads in fear.

Kang Junli pondered for a moment and said, "What the Seventh Taibao said is very true, and the position of the Great Taibao is too important. You can send someone as an envoy to envoy Li Cunhuan. On the one hand, you can find out if the Great Taibao has any different intentions when passing through Chitang Pass. On the other hand, you can also get some information from Li Cunhuan. ”

Hearing this, Li Ke nodded noncommittally, propped his elbows on the handle of the chair, crossed his fingers, and slowly brought his chin to his fingers, revealing a kind of daunting gaze in his slightly drooping gaze. "Well, then, who should I send?"

Hearing this, many people's minds were enlivened. Why? They want to kill Li Siyuan? This is not true, Li Siyuan is very popular, and everyone is not so bad that everyone will fall into the ground. They wanted to secretly contact Li Cunhuan under the banner of an envoy. Of course, it's not that they want to betray Li Keyong, but they just laid a foundation. If Lee Cun-hwan wins, then they will use this as a platform to flatter Lee Cun-hwan. Defeated, naturally what is also the choice of the surname forgotten.

Of course, if Li Cunhuan has enough exciting interests, such as making him a real job, maybe someone is willing to betray Li Keyong. But no matter what, this is also a good opportunity to make friends with Li Cunhuan. You can attack, you can defend, and in the current situation, it's only this one!

Kang Junli groaned for a while, but in a short period of time, his thoughts changed a lot. Secretly looked at Li Keyong, who seemed to be an old monk, and hurriedly lowered his head. I don't know why, he felt that under the heavy pressure, Li Keyong seemed to have become a lot wiser.

"Li'er, what is your opinion?" After a long time, Li Keyong saw that no one spoke, and raised his eyelids slightly, so sharp that people were delusional that this one-eyed eye was not a human eye, but the gaze of a white tiger.

Kang Jun immediately saw that there was no way to dodge, so he said slowly: "The child thinks that the person who is going here must be a person with a firm mind and a wise and brave person, otherwise it is easy to be tempted by Li Cunhuan's words, and even be tempted by Li Cunhuan and betray Hedong!" ”

"Oh? Who do you think is the most suitable? Hearing this, Li Ke nodded thoughtfully, and his eyelids drooped again. But the words that came out were not as plain as Li Ke's expression.

"Child...... What the child thinks, what the child thinks is not necessarily good! But my father is wise and martial, and he will definitely be able to know how to make good use of others! Kang Junli gritted his teeth and suddenly changed his mouth.

"Oh!" Li Keyong nodded, and looked at Kang Junli with a little more appreciation in his eyes.

The generals who peeked at Li Keyong couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and the few people who were about to recommend themselves hurriedly swallowed the words that went to their throats. Now everyone can see that Li Keyong is not asking about candidates, but is suspicious and testing everyone's minds.

At this time, whether it is sincere or false, I am afraid that the result will be the same, which arouses Li Keyong's suspicion. In the end, he may be killed or imprisoned because of the suspected neighbor's axe used by Li Ke, but it will definitely not be good anyway.

Li Keyong pondered for a moment and said: "Wu Yanqi once sent an envoy to Li Cunhuan, and he is very smart, so let him come forward." Thinking of this, Li Keyong didn't know what to think, and then said: "Meng Zhixiang is not bad!" More than ten people will accompany him. It's a lot, but it's given to Li Cunhuan as a prisoner. It doesn't hurt if it is less, Li Cunhuan is not far from Chitang Pass, and the two armies are fighting, so there are definitely no thieves and robbers along the way. You say this, how? ”

Kang Junli waited for Li Ke's voice to fall, and immediately complimented: "Father is wise! ”

"Chitose Wise!" Only then did the generals react and hurriedly complimented.

Hearing a high compliment, Li Keyong's mood seemed to be much better, and he waved his hand to let people disperse.

The efficiency of this work was not slow, and the next day Wu Yanqi and Meng Zhixiang came to the Jin Palace's mansion to meet Li Keyong. What Li Keyong explained to Wu Yanqi and Meng Zhixiang, everyone didn't know. When the two returned to the house, they didn't say anything Li Keyong said to them, but just ordered their families to pack up.

The next day, as soon as it was white, he set off without informing his colleagues and friends. After the two of them walked for a long time, everyone knew that the two had left. Although everyone among colleagues complained about the two of them, they couldn't help but think other things in their hearts. I don't know what Li Ke means by such an abnormal way of doing things?

Li Cunxian, the tenth Taibao who originally liked wrestling and drinking the most, suddenly changed as if he was a person, rolling in the barracks all day long. Although he still wrestles and drinks, he does not associate with the future.

Kang Junli has also become a deep and simple person, and it is not easy to meet him, but when he talks to him, there is a faint layer of separation. Although it is intimate, it always feels like the two of them are close in front of them, but they are far away from the world.

The second Taibao Li Sizhao and the seventh Taibao Li Sien also often stayed in the Jin Wangfu after they finished their duties, either chatting with their colleagues and burping, or talking with Li Keyong, and it was inconvenient to practice martial arts. He even often spent the night in the Jin Palace, and no longer walked around with his colleagues as much as he did in the past.

At this time, even people who don't know the inside story have a feeling that the storm is coming. I don't know what kind of internal troubles will occur in Hedong under the condition of being full of external worries. And what kind of damage will this internal trouble cause? Will it cause Hedong, which has been crumbling in the wind and rain, to fall into the abyss and fall to pieces.

The only thing worth paying attention to is probably Li Cunmiao's expedition, accompanied by Shi Yan, who has just been appointed as a deputy general. Although Shi Yan suffered a defeat at the hands of Liu Zhijun, he also made Liu Zhijun suffer a loss in his hands, plus his troops were weaker than Liu Zhijun. On the contrary, it made everyone feel that he was still glorious despite defeat. And Li Keyong appointed him as a deputy general, obviously wanting Shi Yan to escort Li Cunqing.

On this day, even if he likes Kang Junli, who lives in a simple place, Li Cunxian, who likes to mingle in the military camp, and Li Sizhao and Li Sien, who like to 'settle down' the Jin Palace, also appeared at the West Gate and personally saw off Li Cunqiao.

Li Keyong didn't come in person for some unknown reason, but he sent his younger brother Li Kening to see Li Cunqiao off in his place. And gave a horse, an expensive armor, and a sword. In the name of the Son of Heaven, he canonized Li Cunqiao as the general of the hussars, the crusade envoy in the south of the Hedong camp, the deputy head of the horse infantry army inside and outside the Han Dynasty, and the hussar army was given the number of hussars.

The last sentence made the hearts of everyone who came to see them off feel cold. The temporary festival of the Zhaoyi army, if there is a temporary word, it will become the Zhaoyi festival envoy. However, Li Keyong may have taken into account the Zhaoyi Festival to make Kang Junli, so he added a temporary word. Meaning, don't worry, I won't send my son to take your inheritance, it's yours, and sooner or later it's yours! But it's not yours for now.

However, in this era, there has always been borrowing but not repaying, especially the return of land and soldiers.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on Kang Junli's face, not knowing what Kang Junli thought. But he didn't want to, Kang Junli stood aside with a respectful face, and took Li Kening to finish the announcement, and there was no other expression on his face. It was as if the Zhaoyi Festival envoy was someone else.

What is even more surprising is that Kang Junli naturally came to Li Cunmiao's side to congratulate Li Cunmiao. Neither to congratulate the first to show that there is no pimple in his heart, nor to show that he is slightly angry to go later. Everything is so normal and so well handled.

can't help but secretly admire Kang Junli's way of behaving in the world, of course, many people secretly scolded in their hearts: "Old fritters!" ”

Li Cunmiao looked at Kang Junli with a little more brilliance in his eyes. As if admiration. I can't help but make everyone secretly jealous in their hearts, if there is no accident. Kang Junli may be reused by Li Keyong and Li Cunmiao. As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Kang Junli can be like this, which is already very remarkable!
