"Brother Jiancheng, I, Li Xin, go straight to the point, Li Yuanji, you can take it back, it depends on the face of Sanniang and Siniang, but these 50,000 elites want to go back, I'm afraid it's not something I can say." Li Xin did not pay attention to Li Yuanji's hatred.

"How much do you want?" After Li Jiancheng heard this, his heart suddenly fell, Li Xin is really not so easy to speak, 50,000 elite soldiers must be taken back, even if they pay a big price, they are willing, after all, Li Zhao now has few soldiers and horses, and he needs these 50,000 elites, and these 50,000 elites are loyal to him Li Jiancheng and must be held in his hands.

"First, I want Xu Shiji's head, Shen Guang was killed by him, and this king needs his head." Li Xin's face was gloomy, he looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "As for Li Shimin's trouble, this king will personally find the door." ”

"You can promise that." Li Jiancheng hadn't spoken yet, Li Yuanji began to speak, but he knew that Xu Shiji had taken refuge in Li Shimin, and his suffering today was because of Li Shimin, so he naturally wanted to find trouble with him.

Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Yuanji, then nodded as well, and said, "What about the second?" ”

"No more than fifty gold per soldier, this condition can be agreed!" Li Xin said with a smile. Fifty taels of gold per person, 50,000 people is 2.5 million taels of gold, which is equal to 25 million copper coins, this price is not high, but it is a huge number in Li Zhao.

"So much?" Li Jiancheng's face changed, and he couldn't help but say, "King Tang, isn't this price too much?" ”

"You can use other things to convert, horses, grain, cloth." Li Xin said with a smile: "As long as you can convert it, you can calculate it." If you agree to the third condition, the king can give you a reduction of one million yuan. ”

"On what terms?" Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to ask.

"Commerce, allow the merchants in my Guanzhong to enter the territory controlled by Li Zhao to do business." Li Xin said: "The two sides communicate with each other, and this is the best." How do you think it was built? ”

After Li Jiancheng heard this, not only did he not have any happy look on his face, but instead showed a thoughtful look. He didn't believe that this million yuan of money was so easy to reduce, and even he thought that Li Xin paid the most attention to this business.

"Five million reductions, and so much money, will be returned to you in three years." Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said.

"Five million is too much, minus three million, twenty-two million, pay off in three years, but half of it must be repaid in the first year." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "It must be delivered with gold and silver." As long as the money arrives, the king is in charge. Release these captives and return to Hedong, Brother Jian, this is also your coming, if other people come, there will be no such benefit. You see, it's the end of October, and the Chinese New Year is still two months away, don't you want these people to go home for a reunion? ”

"Li Xin, you are amazing." After Li Jiancheng listened. Pointing at Li Xin, he said: "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver all this money to you within a month, but you have to keep your word and release these 50,000 soldiers." ”

"That's nature. These 50,000 people are placed here with us, and I still have to eat and drink well, which is not easy! What does Brother Jiancheng think? Li Xin said with a smile.

"Humph! It's a shame for what you said. Li Jiancheng glared dissatisfied, and suddenly said, "Li Xin." What I don't understand is that you obviously have the strength to destroy Wang Shichong, why don't you take action? ”

"Hehe, what can you do if you kill Wang Shichong? And then annex Henan, Shandong, or Jianghuai? How many enemies will I encounter? Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei and even Xu Yuanlang and others. I might as well run my Guanzhong for the time being, and wait until the strength is strong enough, and then I can make a move. Li Xin said indifferently: "My biggest enemy is not these people, but you Li Zhao, tsk, look, Li Shimin is really powerful, not only did the 50,000 army not be destroyed by Dou Jiande, but he also conquered the counties one after another, this war is over, even if you can't destroy Dou Jiande, at least it can make him lose his strength greatly, you can use these 50,000 people tomorrow spring to completely eliminate Dou Jiande, Brother Jiancheng, I am here to help you eliminate Dou Jiande!" Li Xin said and even laughed at the end.

Li Jiancheng's face was stunned after hearing this, he always felt that there was some conspiracy behind Li Xin's smile, but he thought about it carefully, but he didn't know what it was. However, now that the matter is over, Li Jiancheng knows that he is afraid that he will not get anything in Guanzhong, and everyone leaves the construction site.

That night, after Li Jiancheng met the Son of Yining, Li Xin invited Li Jiancheng to a banquet in the Wude Palace, Li Jiancheng's expression was very complicated, Li Yuan wanted to live in the Wude Hall very much, but unfortunately, all this was ruined by Li Xin.

The next day, Li Jiancheng visited the old Li family in Guanzhong, and also met Li Zhiwan once, and liked Li Chengji born to Li Zhiwan very much.

"Li Jiancheng is gone?" In the main hall, Li Xin's voice was very flat, and in front of him, Shen Qianqiu lowered his head and did not dare to be presumptuous.

"Back to the prime minister, it's gone." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said, "Take Li Yuanji away." ”

"Are our guys ready?" Li Xin didn't even raise his head.

"It's ready, 25,000 soldiers have been prepared, every 100 people are a team, join the captives, for half a month, they have also participated in the work, and those captives have been in a good mingle, I think no one doubts them, Li Zhao's money will be transported to Guanzhong for about half a month, I think it will be more thorough." Shen Qianqiu said proudly. When others attacked a city, thousands or even hundreds of people opened the city gate first, and let the outside team enter the city, and this time Li Xin dispatched 25,000 people in one go, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented. Once the news comes, I am afraid that the world will be shaken, and even if anyone wants to recall the prisoners in the future, it will be impossible.

"Order Su Dingfang, Pei Yuanqing, and Wei Chigong to lead 20,000 cavalry, and as long as the prisoners cross the Pujin Bridge, they will immediately rush over and kill directly under the city of Hedong." Li Xin's face was very calm, as if he had given a very simple order, but Shen Qianqiu knew that this was Li Xin's nirvana against Li Zhao.

In Hedong City, Qu Tutong had just sent Li Jiancheng away, not only did he not have any joy on his face, but his face became more solemn, he was not optimistic about Li Jiancheng's action.

"Father, why did Li Xin release an army of 50,000? Could it be that Li Xin would really be so merciful? Qu Tushou asked with some curiosity.

"His battlefield is no longer in Hedong, not even in front of people, but in the imperial court, how many soldiers and horses Li Zhao has, but only a hundred thousand people, this time the King of Qin conquered Luoyang, the soldiers and horses lost nearly 100,000 people, and now the court has removed tens of thousands of people in the hands of the emperor, that is, the King of Qin's soldiers and horses have the most, and the power of the prince has been affected, so Li Xin will send 50,000 troops back, what he wants is the balance within Li Zhao, or the struggle within Li Zhao has intensified again. As long as the struggle between the crown prince and the king of Qin will not stop, Da Zhao's fist will not be strong. Qu Tutong said disdainfully: "Li Xin's is all a conspiracy, even if the emperor and the crown prince know about the conspiracy, they can only redeem the 50,000 army." The kings of Qi have all returned, if the 50,000 army does not come back, who will die for the emperor in the future. Therefore, even if the imperial court spends more money, it must redeem the 50,000 army first, not to mention, there are other factors? ”

"It's hateful to give back so much money." Qu Tushou thought that hundreds of carts would soon set off from Hedong, loaded with countless gold and silver treasures and sent to Li Xin's treasury, and his heart was a drop of blood, and there was even a trace of regret.

"My concern is that if we give money, it won't be safe. Hedong is not only a sharp sword of Da Zhao, which can deal with Li Xin at a critical time, but also a sharp sword in Li Xin's hand, which is used to deal with Da Zhao. Qu Tutong showed a wry smile on his face.

"Is General Qu Tu saying that Li Xin will take the opportunity to attack Hedong?" There was a scribe walking in the distance, his eyes were bright, and people felt a pressure when they looked at it, this was Liu Wenjing.

Qu Tutong doesn't like Liu Wenjing, although this person has some talents, but he is stubborn and self-serving, and it is rumored that this time he only sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to support Hedong, which was Liu Wenjing's idea. If this guy hadn't slandered and sent 50,000 soldiers and horses, how could such a thing happen, Hongnong would have lost it, at least Da Zhao would not have lost 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he also sent so many gold and silver treasures.

"Yes, if I were Li Xin, I would not give up such an opportunity, I would definitely attack Hedong, how many soldiers and horses are there in Hedong, although a lot of soldiers and horses have been recruited these days, but there are only 40,000 people, some of them are new soldiers, Li Xin is a strong general, a battle-hardened figure, if Li Xin comes to attack, we Hedong may not be able to support it for long." Qu Tutong said with a sad face, although he had no evidence, he believed that Li Xin would not let go of this opportunity.

"Although Li Xin has this strength, but his army has just returned from the Southern Expedition, and the Eastern Expedition has just ended, the soldiers and horses should recuperate, if you attack my Hedong, I am afraid that it will take half a year to have an army of 100,000, I think Li Xin is unlikely to attack Hedong City, and the old general is worried about the sky." Liu Wenjing said disdainfully: "The King of Qin is invincible in Hebei, Princess Pingyang sits in Huguan, leading 20,000 troops, presumably will soon go to Dou Jiande, the east and west are attacked, and Dou Jiande may not be defeated, which indicates that we are about to have the land of Hebei, from now on, our north is only the remnants of Song Jingang's defeated soldiers and Luo Yi's soldiers and horses, my big Zhao occupies the entire land of Hebei, although Li Xin is powerful, I am afraid that he is not our opponent." ”

"I hope it's the same as General Liu said." Qu Tutong's face was calm, although Liu Wenjing said it very well, but he forgot what he guessed, couldn't Li Xin guess? (To be continued......)
