Chapter 372: The Price

Li Xian, Xu Shiji and others spoke for a while at the gate of Licheng, and asked a few words about the situation on the day Zhang Xutuo died in battle, Li Xian also sighed after listening to it, how Zhang Xutuo died in history He knew, Li Xian just didn't expect that in the case that this history has changed, Zhang Xutuo still died in the hands of Wagangzhai.

At this time, Wagangzhai has been changed beyond recognition, but it still makes Zhang Xutuo hate Dongjun. Although Zhang Xutuo did not die in the Great Sea Temple, these deviations are completely negligible. When a person dies, he is dead, no matter how much deviation from history is, after all, it seems that nothing has been avoided, and his dry bones are still hanging on the wall of Wagangzhai. I don't know what kind of desolate look it looks like after half a year, the head has been exposed to wind and rain.

Perhaps, only one skull remains.

Xu Shiji asked Li Xian about his experience on the grassland, Li Xian said something simply, Xu Shiji suddenly remembered something, and smiled apologetically at the person behind him: "Look at me, the general only cared about talking about General Zhang when he returned, but he forgot to introduce it to the county guard, sorry." ”

He hurriedly let out the person behind him and said to Li Xian: "General, this is Pei Caozhi, the county guard of Qi County." Master Pei and General Zhang are close friends, and they are also honest officials respected by the people of Qi County. It is precisely because of the presence of Master Pei and General Zhang that Qi County can be peaceful in troubled times. ”

"That's rude!"

Li Xian hugged his fists and said: "I just cared about asking Mao Gong about General Zhang, and treated Master Pei slowly and forgave my sins." I have also had two long talks with General Zhang before, and General Zhang is full of praise whenever he talks about Master Pei. General Zhang and Master Pei complement each other with each other, so as to ensure the safety of hundreds of thousands of fathers and elders in Qi County. ”

"The general has won the award, and he should have gone out of the city to greet the general, but the military adviser said that the most disliked thing for the general is politeness and vulgarity, the more complicated and polite it is, the more it seems to be false, the general likes his subordinates to do things simply and directly, so the subordinate does not dare to convene the gentry and elders of the city, but ......"

Pei Caozhi glanced back and said: "The people of Licheng all respect the general's majesty, so they spontaneously came to the city gate to greet them. ”

"Where is there any majesty, the mountains and wilderness are just rough people."

Li Xian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Pei has been waiting for a long time, I'm sorry." ”

"Where does the general say, after General Zhang left, if the general hadn't sent elite soldiers and strong generals to sit in Qi County, I don't know how many strongmen would come to harass. It's right that I should be General Xie on behalf of the people of Qi County. ”

Li Xian smiled and said: "Master Pei is polite, I am friends with General Zhang. Although the positions are different, there are many who share the same opinions. Master Pei and General Zhang are also close friends, and you and I don't have to be so polite when we talk in the future. Let's go, let's go to the city first, and I'll go to the grave of General Zhang to pay respects first. ”

"Please"

Pei Caozhi dodged and made a gesture of please.

Li Xian nodded, didn't get on the horse, and walked into the city gate of Licheng.

He was dressed in a white robe, his straight black hair was tied back at will, his face was handsome, his figure was straight and slender, his steps were calm, and he looked handsome and fluttering. Behind him, Pei Caozhi, Xu Shiji and others followed suit. Behind them are the three hundred green-shirted swordsmen of the Flying Tiger Five Division, all of whom are masters who have good hands. The last to enter the city was the three thousand Yanyunzhai light armor elite riders with distinct armor, one by one with their chests up and their heads up, looking energetic. The people were also strong, the horses were like dragons, and the cavalry marched into the city like a long dragon of cavalry, with a monstrous momentum.

After Li Xian entered the city, the people standing on the side of the street immediately let out an exclamation.

"Whew!"

Someone sighed in surprise: "Some people say that General Li of Yanyunzhai is a handsome and dashing young man, and this is really the case when I see it today!" ”

The people around him exclaimed: "I think it's more chic and calm than the legend, I really didn't expect that the famous General Li of Yanyunzhai turned out to be such a beautiful son." Some people say that he is a strong man with a green face and fangs, which is simply nonsense. Look at it, General Li's face is even more beautiful than that of an ordinary woman. ”

"It's such a handsome son, how can he have the reputation of being slaughtered?"

"A man shall not be a man, nor shall the sea be measured."

There are also many girls who secretly open the window cracks on the wooden buildings on the street to peep, and they can't help but open their cherry mouths. Looking at Li Xian's eyes, there was a strange look, and his heart couldn't help but jump thump. There was a cardamom girl covering her mouth, her eyes wide open, and she refused to believe that what she saw was true. There is even a woman in the Qinglou on the half-immortal floor, who is so bold that she is standing on the second floor and jumping on her feet and letting out bursts of cheers.

Li Xian's first appearance in Licheng was too amazing, in front of three hundred green-shirted swordsmen. The young man is also too handsome, too tempting, and I don't know how many women will be nymphomaniacs after today, and it is difficult to sleep at night thinking about the handsome appearance of the young man.

Especially the woman on the half-immortal floor, her eyes lit up with excitement.

"I didn't expect this General Li to be such a symbolic son, they all said that he was a murderer who didn't blink, and he didn't know that he had killed hundreds of thousands of people since his debut, saying that he was an ugly monster with a green face and fangs, I think that the people who said this were blind. Such a handsome person, at such a young age, has already controlled the land of the three counties, and has 100,000 soldiers under his command, if he can fall in love with him overnight, it will be worth dying. ”

"Sassy hooves, another nymphomaniac."

A woman next to her smiled: "People are heavenly figures, how can they look down on you and me like a broken flower and a willow?" ”

"If I can have a spring breeze with such a character, I would rather not take him money."

"If you want to be beautiful, you just paste all your belongings upside down, and people don't necessarily pay attention to you."

Hearing that the woman in the Qinglou on the second floor was excited and a little presumptuous, Li Xian was slightly red even if his face was thick. He coughed slightly embarrassed, and said to Pei Caozhi beside him: "The people of Qi County...... What a passion. ”

Pei Caozhi was even more embarrassed than him, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes...... The people of Qi County are indeed very enthusiastic......"

……

……

The young man entered the city amazingly, and he didn't know how long this incident would be remembered by the people of Licheng. I don't know if those Qinglou women will have a few nights of spring dreams.

The street in front of the Yamen of Licheng has been under martial law, and all the three shifts of arrest have been dispatched, and there is not a single person on the street, only the officials who are on guard with knives. Although it is the spring season, the weeping willows on this street also spit out new green, and there are a few swallows nesting on the eaves of the government office flying back and forth, but it is still difficult to hide the solemn atmosphere on the street.

Three thousand fine horses went to the school field to rest, and Li Xian, Xu Shiji and others rode to the outside of the yamen. Some people had already prepared coarse incense and paper money, and Li Xian went straight to the cemetery of Zhang Xutuo in the north of the city without stopping. After worshipping Zhang Xutuo, Li Xian and the others went to the horse farm to take a look, and the 20,000 good horses had been driven here, just waiting to be distributed to the soldiers of Yanyunzhai.

"Brother Qin will worry more about Ma Jun's affairs."

Li Xian looked at those war horses and said, "It is not easy to bring back these many horses, this is the foundation of your and my brother's foothold in the future." If we can have a strong cavalry, we can come and go freely in the north of the Great Sui. ”

"General rest assured!"

Qin Qiong couldn't hide his excitement when he saw the many war horses, and sighed: "At the beginning, General Zhang wanted to establish a cavalry, but the money and grain allocated by the imperial court were limited, and the squires of Qi County also suffered huge losses after years of fighting, and it was too cumbersome to buy horses from Saibei, and the cavalry could not be formed after several years of preparation. ”

"General Zhang is the patron saint of Qi County."

Li Xian exclaimed: "If you don't go to Qi County, I don't know how deep and strong the people's respect and love for General Zhang is. Now that half a year has passed, I can still see the people Dai Xiao, which is emotional. ”

"The general really plans to conquer Wagangzhai in person?"

Qin Qiong hesitated and asked.

"We can't let General Zhang's head never go home."

Qin Qiong thought for a while and said: "Now that the two places of Qilu are not stable, if the general is in a hurry to send troops, I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to attack Qilu." There is no hurry to avenge General Zhang, it is better to wait for the cavalry to be formed, and then send troops to Dongjun for the purpose of the big war. ”

Xu Shiji said: "General, what Brother Qin said is reasonable. If our army marches westward, and someone takes advantage of the situation to attack, the people of Qi County will inevitably suffer a disaster, and I am afraid that General Zhang will also be uneasy in the spirit of the sky. Wagangzhai will be fought sooner or later, it is better to wait a little longer, and then raise troops to march west after the two places of Qilu are completely stabilized. ”

Li Xian thought for a while and said, "The revenge can be avenged later, but the head of General Zhang must come back." ”

He frowned slightly and said: "Before I came to Licheng, I had already ordered Xiongkuohai, Cheng Zhijie, to lead 30,000 troops to Lei Ze, to order Chen Que'er to lead 10,000 sailors, and 500 warships to the west along the river. ”

……

……

The reason why Li Xian is so tough is that avenging Zhang Xutuo is secondary. The fundamental reason is that if he does not avenge Zhang Xutuo, he will not be able to truly win the hearts of the people in Qilu and Qilu in the shortest possible time. Qilu is rich and rich, and it is really the best place to base it. With Qilu here, Dou Jiande can be attacked in the north, and it is difficult to go straight to Jiangdu, and the hearts of the people of Qilu will be obtained, and it is enough to gain a foothold in troubled times.

In Luo Yi's study in Youzhou, Luo Yi frowned.

"Father, we can't help but avenge Lu Shisan's revenge, he is your right-hand man, and he taught me martial arts when I was young, he died in Saibei, and it is clear that Li Yuan's son is at his disposal."

Luo Shixin said with some excitement.

"I know."

Luo Yi bowed his head slightly and said, "Otherwise, why would I send 10,000 elite horsemen to help Li Xian send those tens of thousands of good horses back?" ”

"What does this have to do with Li Xian?"

Luo Shixin was puzzled.

"Just before you went to Saibei, Li Yuan sent his right-hand man, Sun Wuji, to Juyeze in Dongping County. I have already told you that Li Yuan and Li Xian are inextricably linked. Now that Li Yuan is in power, it is difficult to travel from Youzhou to Hexi, and we are not sure of victory. Moreover, if I lead the army to the battle, Youzhou is empty, and if Dou Jiande goes north, we will lose the foundation! That's why I want to win over Li Xian, without his restraint behind Dou Jiande, our Youzhou soldiers and horses can't move lightly at all. ”

"Then endure it?"

"I need to see Li Xian's attitude."

Luo Yi sighed: "When Old Lady Li was down, I helped him a lot, but now that he has regained power, he has bullied me in Youzhou, how can I bear it?" But if Li Xian refuses to contain Dou Jiande, we won't be able to fight this battle. ”

"Even if I don't fight, I will force Li Yuan to give me an explanation."

Luo Yi's eyes lit up and said: "I have already sent someone to Hexi, if Old Lady Li pretends to be confused, I will naturally make him pay!" ”
