The forced landing of the mountain was originally a trick of General Zhang Xutuo to deal with Zuo Xiaoyou. Li Xu grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, and he was naturally familiar with the road. The two sides agreed on the time and place of surrender, and Wang Xuba and the minions put down their weapons, helped the old and the young, and went down the mountain.

In order to reassure the minions, Li Xu led his cadres to stand at the mountain pass to greet them. Seeing that the other party was so polite, Wang Suba dared to put on any more spectrum of the king of heaven, bowed down from a distance, and said, "How dare you treat the guilty person to be respected!" Capital offense, capital offense! ”

This sentence was temporarily learned by him from a small boss who had been a teacher before going down the mountain, and it was already a bit nondescript, coupled with his authentic Shanggu native accent, it sounded indescribably weird. Wang Xuba also knew that he couldn't draw a tiger, so he didn't wait for others to laugh, his face became hot first, and Hong Yanyan almost dripped blood.

Just as he was embarrassed, someone suddenly held his arm vigorously, and then he heard a refreshing voice in his ear: "Where did General Wang learn this, didn't we say that the past things have been written off?" Could it be that our Yan Zhao Nan'er can eat back with a shy face when he says it! ”

These few sentences of Jin dialect Hu rhyme turned out to be an authentic Shanggu country sound. Wang Xuba suddenly raised his head and saw Li Xu looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of honesty.

More than half of the big and small leaders around him were natives of Shanggu, and they were all apprehensive, but when they heard General Li actually greet him in his hometown, they were very cordial, and their defensive hearts were gone.

"Where is General Li's hometown in Shanggu?" Wang Jun, who was following Wang Suba without leaving an inch, paused for a moment and blurted out a question.

"Daqing Mountain's Lijiazhuang's. Listen to the accent, this brother is also from Yi County. Where is your hometown? Is there anyone else in the family? Li Xu didn't think it was angry at all, and replied with a smile.

"The barren grass slope is not far from Lijiazhuang. Over the hill is it! Wang Junkuo was close and replied with his chest straight.

"I'm from Zhang Laoji!" "I'm from Poplar Ditch!" The leaders did not expect that General Li, who had cornered him, was such an easy person to associate with, and his fear was even lighter, and he surrounded him and introduced himself in a rambling manner.

Wang Suba knew that it was very rude to do this, but he didn't know how to stop the natives under his command from continuing to recognize the villagers. I was so anxious that I rubbed my hands again and again, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled around on my forehead. Finally, Li Xu and the leaders had greeted each other, and they were just about to step forward to continue to say a few words according to the routine guided by Mr. Teaching, but they heard the other party clear his throat and ordered with a smile: "Since everyone is from the township, you are polite." I have already called for rice and dried meat to be prepared. Regardless of men, women, young and old, one catty of rice per person, half a catty of meat, General Wang first sent someone to Cui Junshou to receive it, and distributed it to everyone to suppress the shock! ”

"General, how can this be done!" Wang Suba hurriedly excused himself. He has also swallowed other people's teams before, even if he doesn't take the opponent seriously, he has to break up the minions first, so that the official can't find the pawn, and the pawn can't find the official. Then it's good to clean up slowly. Who has ever seen a person like General Li, who not only did not monitor him, but let everyone fill his stomach first.

"Isn't General Wang hungry? Or is there a lot of surplus food in the mountains? Li Xu turned his head and asked with a smile.

"It's been a long time coming, and I've been out of food for more than ten days!" Wang Suba felt weak in his heart for no reason, and he didn't dare to look the other party's eyes. Bow your head and answer.

Even he, the big boss, has been reduced to the point of drinking wild vegetable mush, how can other old, weak, sick and disabled people not starve? But when things are abnormal, they are demons. The government is so good to everyone for no reason, Wang Xuba can't believe that there is no evil intention behind this kindness.

"However, the general has not yet counted the number of people. I didn't say how to settle for us! He slammed the ground with the tips of his torn boots, recharging in fits and starts. The other party did not wear armor on his body, nor did he have a blade in his hand, but it made him feel a sense of oppression that he could not breathe. Not out of fear, but out of the inability to smile with an open smile that you can't face up.

"If everyone has received meat and rice, can't they calculate the number of people? Under General Wang, no one will eat empty quotas, right? Li Xu patted Wang Xuba's shoulder and signaled the other party not to be too nervous. As for how to settle down, everyone has eaten enough first, and when they have the strength, they can cut down some trees in this mountain and transport them outside to be used as purlins! ”

I heard that there was rice and meat, and the minions had already opened their stomachs. When he heard that General Li was going to organize people to build a big house for everyone, he was immediately moved. Someone immediately knelt down, kowtowed heavily on the side of the mountain road, and cried while kowtowing: "General Li is really a good man!" "General Li lived a long life! God bless many children and grandchildren, rich and rich! ”

Wang Suba has been the king of heaven for more than a year, and the prime minister and general have sealed a lot, and he has never heard such heartfelt flattery from his minions. The praise was full of truth, and every word came from the bottom of their hearts, even if there was a trap in front of them, everyone must have jumped without hesitation. Since the army's heart is already like this, he is still on guard everywhere, so he simply opened his heart and replied: "Thank you General Li for your kindness, I will take people to receive food, and ensure that everyone has a copy, and there will be no corruption!" ”

"You go and arrange for people to receive food first, and when everyone is full of food and settle down, then take a cadre of leaders to the Chinese army to find me. Let's discuss the future way out of the future! Li Xu nodded and responded.

At that moment, Wang Suba turned around and ordered his minions, big and small, to restrain their subordinates and go out of the mountains and choose flat land to camp. Then, according to the usual establishment, represented by the gang leader, they went to the relief point set up by the government to receive grain and dried meat. Knowing that Li Xu and the generals were watching from a distance, he didn't hide it anymore, and assigned the tasks layer by layer according to the level of the leaders under his command.

Although those minions were already hungry and their eyes were on fire, and they listened to Wang Suba's orders, they were still able to maintain the most basic order. Camping, receiving rice, burying pots, and making rice are not messy at all.

"Wang Xuba is a talent!" Zhao Ziming watched from the side for a while, and quietly commented.

"The leaders under his command are also good!" Li Xu nodded and agreed with Zhao Ziming's opinion. Today, the number of non-commissioned officers under his command is close to 30,000, and there is a huge shortage of junior officers. However, the talents who have just been selected by the examination lack tempering and are not yet useful. People like Wang Suba and Wang Junkuo who have no background and have some talent for leading soldiers can just be used.

How did Wang Suba know that someone had already begun to fight his own idea? After settling his brother, he began to think about his thoughts again. "Then General Li is really kind!" He secretly commented, "In a few words, the hearts of the brothers were taken away, but they were not blindly benevolent!" ”

Turning his head secretly, he looked at Li Xu again. "In his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a good appearance and figure. It looks kind, and there is a faint majesty......" Suddenly, he found that Li Xu's gaze might be sweeping towards him, so he quickly turned his head away, and his heart beat wildly.

"Where is this woman's kindness, Jun Kuo can look away this time. If you don't have two strikes under your hands, how can you have such courage and open-mindedness? The reason why it is not easy to kill is probably because I believe in my own ability! Thinking of this, he quickly straightened his clothes, and another kind of apprehension rose in his heart. It's like entering the door of my father-in-law's house for the first time, for fear of being looked down upon.

After everyone under his command had eaten their stomachs, Wang Xuba led the big and small leaders and walked in front of Li Xu again. This time, they were no longer on guard and were willing to put their fate in the hands of each other. "We have done a lot of evil, and we dare not ask the general for forgiveness. I hope that the general can give these tens of thousands of old and weak a place to live, and we will repay the general's great kindness when we get a grass ring in the future! After saying that, he took the lead in kneeling, with his head on the ground, and his neck was ready to be killed.

This is another rhetoric that I learned from the mouth of Mr. Teach, but compared with the previous one, it is a little less vigilant and a little more honest. Seeing this, Li Xu stepped forward again, helped everyone up one by one, and slapped the soil off everyone's knees with a smile, and said: "Why do you have to do this, didn't you all say that you are not to blame for the past?" Besides, to settle these tens of thousands of people, you still need to do your best to help settle them, otherwise how can the local officials be busy! ”

"May only the adults be the first to look forward!" The crowd stood in solemnity and answered in unison.

"Well said, well said. The first thing everyone did was to help the government organize people to build houses on the banks of the Laishui River. Winter is coming, and there is no house to live in, so will everyone freeze to death! Li Xu waved his hand and motioned to everyone not to be so polite. The second thing is to count who is willing to join the army and who is willing to go home to farm. If they are willing to reclaim the land, each man will be granted 15 acres of land according to the example, and the grain for this year's winter and the seeds for next year's spring can be borrowed from the government. After harvesting and returning in the autumn, the old rule is that after paying taxes on time for five consecutive years, the land belongs to the pioneer. You are all from the Shanggu area, and I will try my best to arrange this reclamation site on both sides of the Laishui and Sanggan rivers! ”

"Your Excellency!" Wang Suba and the others let out a low cry, and then bent their knees and knelt down again. The northerners planted dry land, and whether they could attract river water for irrigation was the most important. Therefore, the land on both sides of the Laishui and Sanggan rivers has always been the most precious in Shanggu and Zhuo County. In the past, Wang Subat led a group of brothers to fight for many years, but he did not grab an inch of land between these two waters. And Li Xu's words fulfilled everyone's wish for many years.

"What? Have the brothers forgotten how to manipulate the crops, or are they afraid that someone will come and steal the grain? With our Boling Army here, I want to see who eats the leopard's gall! Li Xu stretched out his hand to pull Wang Xuba up, and asked with a smile.

"My lord, my lord's kindness to me, my subordinates will never forget it!" Wang Xu pulled out his red eyes and confessed loudly. The recipients will not be dispersed to various places for supervision, and the coveted land will be allocated. Don't kill the leaders, but also put your heart in your heart. Such a good boss, where can you find it after you miss it? Immediately, Wang Suba took the lead, and several big leaders such as Wang Junkuo and Guo Fang recommended themselves to serve under Li Xu's account. Xuzi was originally in the heart of retraction, and smiled at the official position assigned to everyone.

Wang Xuba and Wang Junkuo's uncle and nephew were outstanding in martial arts, so they were appointed as the general and captain of the school respectively. Guo Fang was coarse in mathematics and physics, and was assigned a position of Sicang to join the army, and was still in charge of the baggage under Wang Xuba's tent. Li Fu took the initiative to ask for help to the government to settle the people, so Xuzi appointed him as the head of the Yixian household, responsible for re-establishing the village in the long-abandoned wilderness, and leading the people who were recruited to settle the fields. The rest of the big and small leaders who are willing to join the army and are in good health will be appointed as brigade leaders, team leaders, and gang commanders according to Wang Xuba's recommendation. Those who are unwilling to join the army or have poor physical fitness will be handed over to the landlords of Shanggu and Zhuojun to use only their measurements.

Although the matter of Zhao'an seems simple, it is complicated and abnormal to deal with. Fortunately, Li Xu has the experience of Zhang Xutuo when he subdued Zuo Xiaoyou for reference, and he will not be in a hurry. While transferring the displaced people to various tuntian points to settle down in batches, he also ordered people to push a few carts of heavy gifts to Li Jiancheng on the other side of Taihang Mountain, thanking Tang Gong for his help. Li Jiancheng unceremoniously accepted the gift, gave back a number of armor weapons, and then returned to the camp.

Along with the armor and weapons, there were also some women's clothes, some fat powder, and some gold and silver. Li Jiancheng only said that it was the dowry given by the Li family to his daughter, and asked his sister-in-law to accept it with a smile. also attached a letter, asking Li Xu to pass it on to his sister. Qi'er has always pretended to be a soldier and hid in Li Xu's back camp, and when she saw these late dowries, she didn't finish reading the letter, and her eyes turned red first.

"Look at you, your eyes are crying like peaches, blown by the autumn wind, be careful of wrinkles!" Seeing that there was no one around, Li Xu stretched out his big hand, wiped it on Qi'er's face, and persuaded lovingly. For most of the past six months, from the initial identification of the other party's trap, to the final politeness of reaching a compromise with several local giants, half of the credit goes to Qi'er. Although the heads of the Cui, Li, Wang, and Zhang families are scheming, the methods they play are all the usual tricks of the family, and Qi'er has seen a lot, so it is not too difficult to come up with ideas for Li Xu to crack.

It's just that neither the two nor the strategists under their command expected that Yu'er's maiden family would suddenly intervene. With the help of these external forces, the troubles of the six counties were solved. But Li Xu has also been marked by the Li family on the right side of the ridge since then, and it is even more difficult to draw a clear line.

"This is all a dowry for the daughter who is giving birth." Qi'er wiped away the tears rolling out of the corners of her eyes, sighed and said, "If I hadn't married you, where would I have been treated like this." They had already announced that they would not recognize my daughter, but now they are afraid that you will not recognize the Yue family. Alas! Grandpa and Second Brother are a good calculation! ”

"Don't say that, Tang Gong is your father after all. He and your family are safe, better than anything else! Li Xu saw that Qi'er was smiling sadly, hugged her waist, and whispered comfort. He is no longer the boy who didn't understand affairs back then, and how could he not see the meaning of the Li family's move. But family affection is family affection after all, and it will continue to be given up no matter what. Besides, all he wants is for everyone around him to be safe and happy, not to be affected by disasters in troubled times, even if he is used for a while, there is no need to fight for a long time.

Qian'er swept Li Xu's smile with her teary eyes, and her heart hurt again. The husband is a rare great man in the world, and he married him, and this life is not in vain. But the sinister among the wealthy families can not be touched by family affection. "You just think too well of people, my family ......." she shook her head and smiled wryly. The reason why the Li family on the right side of the ridge recognized this family affair is the same as when they recognized Li Xu as their nephew, I am afraid that they still use most of the ingredients.

That's not the biggest worry on her mind.

The most reassuring thing is that in front of interests, there are no permanent friends. Once one day the Li family has a conflict with her husband and marries her husband, she will definitely be on her husband's side. But the size of the mansion, the soldiers of the three armies, how will they see themselves?

When that day comes, will the husband still pity the daughter of the enemy as he has for a few days?

"Anyway, there is no substantive conflict. Besides, no matter what others do, you won't fail me, and I won't fail you! Li Xu seemed to have guessed what was in her heart, tightened the arm around her waist, and replied frankly.

"Of course I believe you." There was an instant light in her eyes, and she raised her head happily, clinging to the mountain-solid chest behind her. "Big brother, weak is weaker, but in fact, he is quite sincere." She opened the letter and quickly skimmed through the contents, "He wants me to advise you not to be too kind. The tiger does not show its teeth, and others will not really think of him as a tiger. He also gave an example of Fu Jian, the former king of Qin, my brother, it's really ........"

This example is very inappropriate, although Li Xu is currently a prince of one side, he is a courtier of the Great Sui after all. Comparing it with Fu Jian, the former Qin king, if it is known by someone with a heart, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. But this kind of letter without any scheming made Li Xu and his wife feel more warm, and the two of them hugged each other and carefully read Li Jiancheng's intentions.

"King Qin ruled the world and destroyed dozens of enemy countries. Take the revenge as the heart, and regard the stubbornness as a guest. When it was in its heyday, the sons were sincerely afraid, and when its power declined, the thieves rebelled against each other. Lessons from the past, teachers of future generations ......" It can be seen that Li Jiancheng writes very dedicatedly, as if he is teaching his own brother.

"Big brother wants to persuade you not only to show kindness, but also to force him when necessary. Their father's teaching to them since they were young was that the Buddha had two hands, one hand dragging the scriptures, and the other hand holding thunder and lightning......" said as she raised her head and looked at Li Xu's resolute face.

"I know that my eldest brother is kind, but I will not sprinkle my majesty on my own people!" Li Xu nodded and replied with a smile. "In this troubled world, there are opportunities to show strength."

"I know!" She put down the letter and reached out to cover her big hand around her waist. That rough hand is always full of strength and confidence. People unconsciously want to hand over everything and hold it until eternity.
