Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Before seeing Xu Shiji, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this time thousands of miles from Youzhou at least Liyang's harvest.

Outside Liyang City, when Li Chongjiu persuaded Li Mi that he could not enter the customs and defect to Li Tang, he only felt that he was almost omnipotent at that moment, and there was nothing that could be stopped.

But when he arrived in Liyang City, Li Shimin actually came to persuade Li Mi in person. Li Shimin is higher and lower in eloquence compared with himself, I don't know.

On top of the facts, Li Mi can sit in today's position, what about Su Qin and Zhang Yi, how can he be able to move words, no matter how good Li Shimin's eloquence is.

As a result, Li Shimin still won, not in eloquence, but in Li Tang's general trend and Li Tang's influence among the scholars. Li Shimin, Li Yong, Hedong Liu's clan and many officials with a gate valve background among Li Mi's generals, tied them all together and coerced Li Mi to return to Shunguanzhong.

At this moment, Li Chongjiufang realized his personal strength and confronted the general trend, after all, it was still a little more difficult. It's like a piece of bamboo, even if it is bent by its fingers for a while, but when the fingers are finally released, it still springs back into place.

And now, Li Chongjiu must receive Xu Shiji, as well as more than 10,000 Wagang elites, so that in the future, Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande will be able to break their wrists. He couldn't lag behind Li Yuan any longer.

Xu Shiji is a famous general in the world, this is a public opinion.

In this era, among all the generals at that time, only Xu Shiji could be with Li Jingyi, and the two were like Wei Qing of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Quai.

In history, Li Shimin commented on Xu Shiji's use of troops, saying that Xu Shiji was cautious in his use of troops, and even if he won a big victory, he would not be defeated.

Later generations have said that the Taigong of Zhou, Wang Jian of Qin, Han Xin of Han, Zhao Chongguo, Sima Yi of Wei, Zhuge Wuhou of Shu, Wei Xiaokuan of Zhou, Yang Su of Sui, Li Jing and Xu Shiji of Tang can be described as tied.

Now there is no shortage of fierce generals, dead soldiers, and capable officials, admonishers, as for the infantry army and horse army, they are all very elite, but Li Chongjiu is always inferior to the other party when he plays against famous generals like Song Jingang, Luo Yi, and Li Zhiwan.

Li Chongjiu also knew that he was not like Li Shimin, a talented emperor, so he could only learn from Liu Bang and find good generals and famous ministers to help him.

If compared with Liu Bang's team of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Li Chongjiu's subordinates such as Wen Yanbo, Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, and Lu Chengqing can all be compared with Xiao He, but good generals such as Han Xin and Zhang Liang are not around Li Chongjiu.

Wang Mahan, Ying Hefu, and Wei Chigong can be regarded as brave generals, but they are not generals, as for the Xue brothers, they are still young and have no battlefield experience; And Ji Chuan, Xue Wanshu can be regarded as a strategist, but compared to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui is not a chip or two.

Therefore, Xu Shiji, for Li Chongjiu, who lacks talents, is like a field that has been looking forward to nectar for a long time, with Xu Shiji's help, he can take on one side alone and decompose Li Chongjiu's worries.

How can such a famous general be missed, if Xu Shiji and Li Jing are used by Li Shimin, then who else will Li Chongjiu compete with Li Tang in the future.

After Xu Shiji saw Li Chongjiu, he stood up first, hugged his fists and said, "Shanggu Gong, didn't you come on the orders of Wei Gong?" ”

Li Chongjiu said: "I really just came from Duke Wei. ”

Xu Shiji realized a little, glanced at Li Chongjiu, and his expression was complicated.

Xu Shiji silently stretched out his hand and said, "Shanggu Gong, please take a seat." ”

Li Chongjiu and Xu Shiji sat opposite each other.

Xu Shiji said: "Shanggu Gong, when Wei Gong saw you, he said that he had really made up his mind to defect to Li Tang, right?" ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Indeed, Duke Wei has already made a decision. ”

Xu Shiji muttered: "If this is the case, since the Duke of Wei defected to Li Tang, he did not dedicate the Shanggu Gong to Li Shimin, which shows that the Duke of Wei attaches great importance to the Shanggu Gong, treats Your Excellency as a confidant, and entrusts all the brothers of the Wagang Army to the Shanggu Gong." Now that Duke Wei has made a decision, Xu has nothing to say, so he will be sent by Shanggu Gong. ”

Li Chongjiu didn't expect Xu Shiji to agree so quickly, he was going to exchange with Xu Shiji and negotiate conditions.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be surprised, and asked at the moment: "Brother Xu made this decision, is it for the sake of Duke Wei?" ”

Xu Shiji said: "Half of it is for the Duke of Wei, and half is for the Duke of Shanggu. ”

"Down?"

Xu Shiji nodded and said with a smile: "Brother X and Brother Shan are righteous brothers, and Shanggu Gong and Brother Shan are brothers, that is, my brother Xu, as for Li Yuan, Li Valve's threshold is too high, and he doesn't dare to climb high, and I Xu Dayan doesn't recognize him." We are good men in Wagang, don't talk so much, we can gather righteousness in Wagang with Zhai's family, it is a brotherhood, if not, my Xu Shiji's family has thousands of bells of food, why bother with Zhai in charge, Brother Shan rebelled together. ”

Li Chongjiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Brother Xu, please rest assured, I, Li Chongjiu, will not fail you and the brothers of Wagangzhai." ”

Xu Shiji nodded and said: "Since Duke Wei has decided to entrust Wagang to Shanggu Gong, then it shows that Shanggu Gong is a person worthy of entrustment, and I still have nothing to worry about." ”

At that moment, Xu Shiji said to the back of the hall: "My lord, Guo Changshi will come in together." ”

After a while, two people came to the back of the hall, one of them had white hair and beard, and the other was dressed as a military general, and they had obviously been listening to the dialogue between Li Chongjiu and Xu Shiji behind the hall for a long time.

Xu Shiji said to Li Chongjiu: "I introduced to Shanggu Gong, this is my father. ”

Li Chongjiu clenched his fists and said: "I have heard the name of Uncle Xu's generosity and righteousness for a long time, and I am very fortunate to see it today. ”

The old man clasped his fists and replied, "Shanggu Gong, you are old. The dog will have to worry about the care of the valley in the future. ”

"Don't dare." Li Chongjiu bowed slightly, this old man is Xu Gai, the father of Xu Shiji, the Xu family was a big family back then, Xu Gai Xu Shiji's father and son used rice and grain at home to help the poor people in the neighborhood.

Hou Zhai let Yu Wagang Army cause trouble, Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin had an old relationship, so he persuaded his father to scatter all his family wealth and defect to Wagang Village.

"This is the long history Guo Xiaoke."

Li Chongjiu saw that the other party's appearance was strange, and he was like seeing many Wagang generals, all of them were full of uninhibited recklessness.

Xu Shiji and Li Chongjiu introduced: "Guo Changshi is a person from Yang Zhai and has worked for me for many years. ”

Li Chongjiu hugged his fists when he heard the words and said: "Ru Ying Duoqishi, seeing Guo Changshi today, it shows that this is true. ”

Guo Xiaohe casually clasped his fists and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." "There was a great deal of slackness between the words.

Xu Shiji said: "My brother has this temper, and he is the same when he sees Duke Wei, don't blame it." ”

Li Chongjiu nodded, but anyone who is arrogant must have real skills, and this Guo Xiaohe is not an unknown person in history.

After Li Chongjiu met with the three of them, Xu Shiji recruited more than a dozen confidants and generals in the mansion, and said: "Duke Wei, since you have decided to enter Guanzhong in the west, I was told before that the brothers in Wagangzhai who do not want to go to Guanzhong can go and stay for themselves. I'm going to go to Youzhou with Shanggu Gong, what do you think? ”

Guo Xiaohe slammed his fist on the ground and said: "The scholars misled the country, they are all Xu Jingzong, surnamed Liu and others, if Zhai is in charge, how can I lose to Wang Shichong." ”

Xu Gaiyan said: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of saying this? ”

A general glanced at Li Chongjiu and said: "Brother Xu, Duke Wei went to Guanzhong to hold Li Yuan's stinky feet, why should we listen to him, if Laozi in Guanzhong doesn't go, Youzhou may not be good." I think this Liyang is very good, even if the grain and rice are not exhausted in another ten years, we are here to defend ourselves, why go to Youzhou, Brother Xu, I am willing to serve you as the lord of Wagang. ”

As soon as this person finished speaking, all the generals clasped their fists and said: "Duke Wei has always treated you inconsiderately, so why listen to him." We are willing to serve the general as the lord of Wagang. ”

"Confused," Xu Shiji slapped his palm on the case: "If Liyang can be defended, why should Duke Wei abandon Liyang and enter Guanzhong in the west, now there is Wang Shichong in the south of Liyang, Yu Wenhua in the west, Li Yuan, and Dou Jiande in the east, if four people come to attack, with this lonely city, how many days can you defend?" Xu Shiji said loudly.

Listening to Xu Shiji's words, all the generals were stunned, and one general said to himself: "It's a big deal." ”

"I only have a decapitated general in the Wagang Army."

There was also a person holding his head, squatting on the ground and whimpering, and said: "What does it mean to die, when we gathered in Yiwagang, we didn't think too much, but we couldn't eat enough. Now that I'm married and have children, I want to go home. ”

Xu Shiji glanced at the generals, his eyes couldn't help moistening, and said: "It's me Xu who is incompetent, I'm sorry for everyone, everyone has their own ambitions, I want to go to Guanzhong, I want to stay and go home, I will not be reluctant." ”

Hearing Xu Shiji say this, all the generals hung their heads.

"Everyone, please listen to me."

Li Chongjiu stood up from Xu Shiji's side and asked, "Do you know what the people say about the Wagang Army in Youzhou?" ”

All the generals raised their heads to look at Li Chongjiu, and one of them asked, "What do you say?" ”

"The people of Youzhou are all in awe of the Wagang Army," Li Chongjiu said, "Zhai is in charge, the Wagang Village founded by the Shan Dangjia back then, how great it is, the brothers killed officials and eliminated harm, robbed the rich and helped the poor, opened warehouses and released grain, which of the people of Hebei has not been unaffected by your kindness." ”

"Even the famous general Zhang Xutuo has been defeated by you, the officials and the army are helpless, all the heroes in the world have pushed the Wagang Army as the head of the righteous army, who mentions the name of the Wagang Army is not a thumbs up. Although it is bad luck at the moment, can you bear to see Zhai in charge, is the Wagang Army founded by Duke Wei and torn apart? ”

When the generals listened to Li Chongjiu's words, they couldn't help wiping away their tears and said: "No, no." ”

Li Chongjiu hugged his fists and said: "I am not talented, although I am not born in Wagang, but Mengwei Gong is heavy, and I am a brother who is in charge of the family, I Li Chongjiu hereby promise that one day, I will take the brothers back to Liyang and return to the Eastern Capital, so that everyone knows that this world is not decided by those children of the Shi family and the gate valve giants." ”

"Medium!"

The generals of the Wagang army slapped the table one after another.

On the side of Xu Gai, Guo Xiaohe looked at Li Chongjiu and couldn't help but feel a little more admired.

Xu Shiji looked at himself and whispered: "Maybe Wei Gong is right, this person is really a person who can turn the tide." (To be continued.) )
