Chapter 7: The Prosperous Age (11 II)

Chapter 7 Shengshi (Eleventh Middle School) The old general Luo Yi finally did not take the long lance that was said to come from the tiger and iron cavalry as his own, and after standing in the mountain wind for half an hour, he turned around and went down the mountain.

♀ Before leaving, he carefully examined the dirt near the lance. As if he was afraid that the soldiers who inserted the lance would be lazy, resulting in the mountain wind blowing the lance down one day.

From that moment on, he was like a different person, and the arrogance that permeated his body could no longer find half of it.

He no longer points out the affairs around him as a senior in the army. He silently walked down the Great Wall and staggered towards the war horse.

After carefully recognizing the stirrups a few times, he barely climbed onto the horse's back. The soldiers ran to hold the reins for him, and at first, Luo Yi instinctively raised his eyebrows.

But in the blink of an eye, he acquiesced in this kind of care. Let the guards surround him, escorting himself down the hill like protecting an old and weak.

Luo Yi is old, and he is indeed old. Walking on his side, Li Jiancheng could clearly see the other party's gray hair and slightly hunched back.

He didn't know what to say to make the old general feel better, so he had to follow him silently. The Hedong guards around him could also feel the changes in Luo Yi's body, but no one could tell the specific reason, and they couldn't guess what the long lance towering on the top of the Great Wall reminded Luo Yi of.

"Let's go find General Lee." It was Luo Yi himself who was the first to break the silence, and after the horse's hooves stepped on the ground again, his demeanor slowly returned to normal.

"How to fight next, it's all up to him!" Li Jiancheng was overjoyed when he saw that Luo Yi suddenly changed his temperament, and he was willing to obey Li Xu's command.

After a pause, he hurriedly smiled and humbly conceded: "In matters of military affairs, please ask the eldest brother to take the idea." After all, Zhong Jian and I are inexperienced, unlike my eldest brother, who has dealt with the Turks for more than twenty years before! ”

"The old man is getting older. Knowledge (color and temperament are far inferior to those of you juniors.) Luo Yi smiled and shook his head,

"Zhong Jian was able to force the old man to fight again with his newly defeated soldiers. ♀ The ability to strategize is far superior to me. Therefore, for the position of coach, the old man will never dare to compete with him. Without waiting for Li Jiancheng to be humble, he raised his face again and quickly added,

"But if everyone really wants to meet with Shibi Khan in the future, the old man hopes that the prince can say a favor to Zhong Jian and let the old man take the lead with these five thousand heavy armor. These 5,000 Tiger Ben are specially set up for the Turks, and the old man can't forget their mission! ”

"The younger brother must try his best to help the eldest brother fight for it. At that time, the younger brother will hand over all his subordinates to Zhong Jian, and he will hold the lance and be the right guard of the eldest brother! Li Jiancheng's heart was hot and promised without hesitation.

After swearing to Luo Yi that day, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to continue to get closer to the other party.

And now, the opportunity has actually taken the initiative to send it to the door. From Luo Yi's words just now, Li Jiancheng can infer that the old general is indeed ready to withdraw from the ranks of winning the championship and entrust Youzhou to others.

If this matter is successfully arranged, Li Jiancheng can be sure that his position in the family will become more and more stable, and even no one can replace him.

Just when he was dizzy with joy, Luo Yi's words came from his ears again. With a little unwillingness, but said resolutely.

"If you are willing to fight side by side with me, the old man is very honored. This will be the last time the old man puts on his armor. After this battle, the old man was ready to hand over the tiger horseman. But I hope that the Son of the World will ensure that they will be used in the right way. Don't let the blood of your brethren bleed! ”

"The younger brother is willing to guarantee his life, and the tiger will ride Yongzhen on the ground, and he will not go south easily!" Li Jiancheng was smashed by great happiness and shook twice on horseback, pointed to the sky, and solemnly swore an oath.

"I hope you will always remember the words of the day! Otherwise, otherwise the old man ......." Luo Yi sighed and continued to shake his head.

If before seeing the giant lance standing on the top of the Great Wall, Luo Yi still had some gains and losses in his heart about his future.

Now, he has completely let go of the knot. The Tiger Horse Iron Cavalry is not his Luo Yi's private army, and at the beginning of the establishment of this army, its mission has been written in the military soul.

♀ The Tiger Horse Iron Rider is not something that can be supported by a few counties in Youzhou, and in his Luo Yi's hands, it will only make this unparalleled force in the world gradually come to an end.

Just handing over the Tiger Ben Iron Horse to the Li family, isn't it too rash? He wasn't sure, but he earnestly hoped that he had made the right choice today.

"As for the future of the Luo family, the eldest brother can rest assured. As long as the younger brother is in one day, it will be guaranteed that Youzhou will always be under the rule of the eldest brother. Children and grandchildren, wealth and prosperity are endless! Li Jiancheng obviously misunderstood Luo Yi's hesitation, raised his right hand again, and solemnly promised.

"Will you seal the soil for me? That's a good idea! Luo Yi didn't expect Li Jiancheng to answer so happily, and asked with a smile with squinted eyes.

Before deciding to hand over the Tiger Rider, he had already made a judgment on the situation. Based on his own judgment, if Youzhou is merged into Hedong, in a short period of time, the Li family will definitely let themselves sit in Youzhou and threaten Dou Jiande's back.

But after the world is unified, it is inevitable to cut Tibet. This is a story that any dynasty has repeatedly rehearsed at the beginning of its establishment, and it will never be an exception because of his Luo Yi.

Li Jiancheng was laughed so hard that his heart was empty, he thought about it, lowered his voice slightly, but his face was extremely solemn,

"I know Big Brother doesn't care about that. But if you don't do this, it will be difficult to reward the eldest brother for his work today. Although the eldest brother is relieved, although I Li Jiancheng can't write anything, I can't do anything, and I have dragged on a little bit. But I have a conscience to be a man, and I will never dare to live up to my eldest brother's kindness to me today! ”

"What the old man did today, but not to make you grateful!" Luo Yi smiled and continued to shake his head.

"The promise of the little brother today is not just for the eldest brother!" Li Jiancheng quickly took Luo Yi's words and responded loudly.

The two brothers looked at each other, and they both saw warmth and honesty in each other's eyes. Luo Yi finally understood that the prince of Tang in front of him was a rare and kind person, so he no longer called himself an old man.

nodded, and said with a smile: "What the virtuous brother did today doesn't look like a son of the world. It's not like the future prince. If you want to be a human king, you must not be impulsive, let alone make promises easily! ”

"Isn't that boring?" Li Jiancheng stretched out his hand and scratched his neck, complaining in a low voice. ♀

"Big brother, don't talk about me. Let's have a good time. When I really become a prince, it's not too late to teach me this! ”

"I'm afraid that at that time, Brother Xian won't have time to listen to my ramblings!" Luo Yi shrugged his shoulders, then tapped the saddle with a whip.

Under his crotch is an oolong horse, and his spiritual roots and bones are all superior. After receiving the hint from the master, the four hooves used a little force, and then rushed out like a cloud.

Li Jiancheng's peach blossom skull under his crotch is not inferior, he shakes his mane and quickly follows up. The two brothers galloped side by side, leaving a group of guards far behind.

The mountain wind is whistling in the ears, the horse's hooves are urgent, and every sound carries the rhythm of spring. It wasn't until they saw Li Xu's military tent that the two gently tightened the reins.

Luo Yi ran with a red face, and while wiping his sweat with the cuffs of the general's regular clothes, he laughed and said: "I haven't run so easily for a long time, and the old man has almost forgotten the taste of riding a horse without purpose." I'm telling you, there are some things that seem to be expensive, but if they are not used properly, they can be a burden. The old man is relieved today. You take it, hehe, you're so self-conscious! ”

"The younger brother must remember the words of the eldest brother!" Li Jiancheng replied breathlessly. Regardless of whether the friendship with Luo Yi on that day had other purposes.

Now, he really regards Luo Yi as a brother who can be relied on. A brother who doesn't compete with himself for merit and position, but is willing to think about himself everywhere.

"This Li Zhongjian, this Li Zhongjian's internal camp is neat!" Turning his gaze to Li Xu's Chinese army tent, the words of praise blurted out from Luo Yi's mouth.

Although the distance between the three soldiers and horses is very close, and the outer edge of the camp of the Hedong Army is almost closely connected to the camp of the Boling Army, whether it is Li Jiancheng or Luo Yi, they have slacked off after the war in their hearts in the past two days.

Only on Li Xu's side, civil and military officials went in and out, and the soldiers on duty lined up to inspect, and everything seemed to be in order, no different from wartime.

"Zhong Jian has always been very cautious in everything he does and leads the troops." Quickly glanced at the Chinese army, Li Jiancheng said with a bit of admiration.

Although Gui was the chief general of the Hedong Army, he did not dare to continue riding horses in Li Xu's Chinese army. Cleanly flicked the stirrup off the saddle, slowly led the mount, and walked towards the main entrance of the inner camp.

Luo Yi also jumped off the horse quickly, nodded in admiration, lowered his voice, and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "After this battle, how is the prince going to place Zhong Jian?" Have the details of the merger of Hedong and Boling been arranged? What is Ling Zun's plan? ”

"Don't hide it from Big Brother. I don't even care about it these days! It's also difficult for Zhong Jian to do. The civil and military forces of the six counties of Boling, the civil and military forces of the six counties of Boling, don't seem to like Hedong very much!" Li Jiancheng replied with a bitter face.

If Luo Yi knew this answer in advance, he didn't dare to guarantee that the other party would be able to merge Youzhou into Hedong so happily.

But now that the two sides have become close friends, Li Jiancheng doesn't want to hide these secrets from Luo Yi anymore. A wry smile quickly surged up Luo Yi's eyebrows.

He didn't expect that the merger of Erli, which seemed to have become a foregone conclusion in the outside world, was actually just an illusion of not having a word.

But he didn't want to regret the decision he made today, thought about it, and said in a low voice: "Temporarily tear the soil and seal the grass, and you will be rewarded for your merits in the future." Isn't Tang Gong willing to agree? Or is Zhong Jian not satisfied with this and counting on one step closer? "It stands to reason that these are the core secrets related to the future of the Li family, and Luo Yi should not have asked them.

Li Jiancheng shouldn't answer him, and there is no need to answer truthfully. But since Luo Yi asked, Li Jiancheng was reluctant to brush his brother's face, organized his language, and said in a low voice:

"Zhong Jian has never had much ambition. What he asks for is to protect the party. However, the system of the six counties of Boling was inconsistent with the old system of the Great Sui. If the two families are combined into one, there will be a lot of trouble to deal with in terms of government decrees! In the past two years, my father also referred to the system of Boling and changed the old system of Guanzhong, Gyeonggi and Hedong a lot. But there are also many difficulties, and my father is helpless! ”

"Oh!" Luo Yi nodded slightly. He knew that what Li Jiancheng said was true. In fact, many people of insight in Youzhou also believe that the three systems of Juntian, Zhishi, and Gonggong in the six counties of Boling are a good way to restore local vitality.

But all three systems touch the interests of local high-level officials. With his authority in Youzhou, he didn't dare to accept it all easily.

What's more, Li Yuan has just gained a foothold in the Beijing Division, and there are countless famous nobles around him! On Dou Jiande's side, because he had killed the wealthy when he was a bandit before, he now copied and copied the system of the six counties of Boling, and copied it unimpeded.

The people of Hebei finally had hope of living, and they couldn't help but forget the evil deeds of Dou Jiande and others who killed people and sold goods back then, and instead praised Dou someone's kindness.

The decrees cannot be unified, and Boling stands out. The six counties did not suffer from major wars in the first two years, and in the past two years, they have experienced the nourishment of the New Deal.

Of course, it is far more prosperous than the rest of the Great Sui. And Li Zhongjian is famous for his good fight, and the elite of Boling under his command are all one of the hundred.

Based on the above situation, Luo Yi knew in his heart that even if Li Yuan did not doubt Li Xu's sincerity to the merger, I am afraid that Hedong Wenwu would not be down-to-earth.

Therefore, the strategy of tearing the soil and sealing the grass, and then slowly integrating into it, is only suitable for Youzhou, but it may not be suitable for the six counties of Boling.

With the current prosperity of the six counties, it is not difficult to raise the Boling army into a fierce tiger over time. When it comes to such a major decision, Luo Yi can't talk more.

He shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "This Li Zhongjian is really a good knife, it depends on the ability of the person holding the knife?" Don't mention these, let's get through the current difficulties first! ”

"To be completely resolved the Turkic threat. I want to talk to Zhong Jian openly and honestly. To tell you the truth, I'd rather let him stay in the six counties than follow him on the battlefield. Li Jiancheng sighed lightly and said.

Since the transfer to the city, Li Xu has never taken the initiative to tell him about the merger of the two families, and no Boling civil or military generals have come to the hero building he opened.

This made Jiancheng feel a little frustrated. Although he still firmly believes that with the sincerity of himself and his father, he can impress Li Xu and pull him into the Li family in Hedong.

But compared to Luo Yi's simplicity, Li Xu seemed a little too serious. There is a very different feeling before there is no reference and after there is a reference.

Thinking about it, Li Jiancheng unconsciously felt that the orderly inner camp of the Boling Army was a little too heavily defended.

There are no enemy troops in the vicinity, so do you need to be so cautious? Xu Zi is so strict, is it not just out of habit, but on guard against his big brother?

Back in Liaodong, he was also like this and never looked back. Suddenly, a jumping stiffness bit Li Jiancheng's heart, making him itch all over his body, and he jumped unspeakably uncomfortable!
