CHAPTER XXXI

"Because the people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei are afraid of death." When he said such a topic related to life and death, Wang Wenyan still smiled. Li Xiao felt that the soles of his feet were cold, and the guy in front of him must be a guy who can't spit out bones. can talk about killing people so lightly, Li Xiao is the first time I have seen it.

What made Li Xiao's heart palpitate even more was that Wang Wenyan's mouth was like an ant, a person who could be trampled to death at any time. They are all regarded as the beasts of the flood by the capital and even the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Dongchang is Wei Zhongxian's territory, but Wang Wenyan can stretch his claws there. It can be seen that the energy of this smiling tiger in the capital.

"Got it, that's what you mean. If my people say it, you're going to kill them. Kill me too? ”

"Hehehe! I guessed pretty much, but I was wrong about one thing. ”

"Where?"

"Wang someone is not capable of determining your life and death, no matter what happens, you will live in good health. Looking at the capital, no one dares to touch you now. You blew up the gates of Shuntian Mansion, and he didn't have to lie on his stomach. ”

At this time, the shopkeeper brought the wine and food, and Wang Wenyan poured himself a glass of wine from the pot. Then he poured a cup for Li Xiao, made a gesture of please, and then drank it all. also heroically lit up the bottom of the cup at Li Xiao!

Li Xiao understood that this was to reassure him. Picked up the wine on the table and drank it!

"In the final analysis, it's all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Now fighting with the Tartars, our Ming Ming's odds of winning are too low. However, with people like you, Brother Xiao'er, it is not easy for Tatars to cross the Shanhaiguan. Since neither side has the strength to win, peace should come to Liaodong.

At the end of Wanli, he began to fight and has been fighting until now. Whether it's Da Ming or Tartar, they need to rest. Wang Wenyan took a sip of wine, and his face was a little ruddy.

"Part of the agreement is to dismantle the Liao army, and it just so happens that you also want to take this opportunity to disarm. That's why Cui Chengxiu said to me. Right! Li Xiao glared at Wang Wenyan back.

"Huh! Choi Chengxiu said that you are smart, and now it looks like you are more than smart. It's just a lot of wisdom! You're right, Choi Chengxiu's words are what we mean. It's just that everyone is in the same boat, and he knows you well after all.

It's just that I'm curious, how did you guess it. It stands to reason that no more than five people in the capital will know about the matter between us and Cui Chengxiu. Aren't you afraid that we will kill people and kill people? Wang Wenyan looked at Li Xiao playfully, and even a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Is it difficult? Choi Chengxiu is not a fool and convinces him that he needs a good lobbyist. And it just so happens that you, Mr. Wang, are a very good lobbyist. ”

"Huh! I'd like to toast you again, thanks for the compliment. Wang Wenyan picked up the wine glass with a smile, and poured it into his mouth regardless of whether Li Xiao drank it or not.

"Speaking of ......! As you just said, no one in the capital can touch me, and no one dares to touch me. If you want to disarm, you need me to guard the mountain customs. Because, you are also afraid that the Tartars will come to the capital. The fight between you and Wei Zhongxian and those people is nothing more than the control of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty is lost, it will be empty for you to fight for it. I'm curious why you believe the Tartars. I believe that they really will not set foot in Shanhaiguan, and it is very risky to know that more than 200,000 soldiers will be cut off at once.

Once the Tartars are hit, the Shanhaiguan defense line can be full of sieves. There are many cavalry in the Tartars, and it is really not easy to hold on. ”

"Hehehe! The reason is very simple, there are no more than 70,000 households in Tartars. And since your rise, you have wiped out nearly 6,000 banner soldiers.

The loss of a tenth of the forces was fatal for the Tartars. Although it can be supplemented from other Jurchen tribes, after all, no Jianzhou Jurchen people can fight.

What about Daming's side? There is more than enough to defend and not enough to plunder. Years after years of war, military spending surged. And what? The loss of the teacher humiliated the country, and Liaodong was lost. Whether it is financial or material resources, the Ming Dynasty needs time to accumulate and recover. Peace talks are in the interests of both sides, and it will not be beneficial for either side to continue fighting.

In fact, peace means that everyone is equal in strength, and no one wants to do it first. ”

"Lord Wang is really a master, and he has calculated the reactions of all parties to the bones. It's just that the kid doesn't know, what are you looking for me here for today? The matter of a green bead alone should not be your turn. ”

"You're wrong, don't look at Da Ming on the defensive now. However, many people in the DPRK and China still advocate fighting to the death, and they are all things that do not hurt their backs when they stand and talk. A few of them are also very energetic!

Once the news of His Majesty's seeing the green beads was spread, those people would dare to die in front of the palace. They are all impulsive clear streams, and Your Majesty can't afford to offend. When the time comes, we will be buried alive by the Bullet Seal. The emperor will not stand up for us, our head is the thing that can best calm the anger of the people.

Now you understand, why am I so ruthless? ”

"Between someone else's life and one's own life, it's better to sacrifice someone else's life. I understand what you mean, and rest assured that my people won't say it. If there is a leak, military justice will be conducted. Li Xiao happily had a toast with Wang Wenyan.

Li Xiao found that anyone who can mix well has one characteristic, that is, sincerity. What Wang Wenyan said to himself in a short period of time was all sincere. It's hard to be suspicious of such a person!

And this guy is also very good at linking his own interests with the interests of others. In many cases, common interests are the solid foundation on which cooperation can be achieved.

"It's a pleasure to talk to smart people, and the old man is curious about what kind of place your island is. If the old man guessed correctly, you made all the glass yourself. There is also a large amount of soap in the capital recently, and this thing is from Chen Hailong in Shandong.

Coincidentally, we found out that Chen Hailong and you have a bad relationship. Brother Xiao'er's hands are a good pair of rakes for money! ”

"There's no way, there are many brothers who eat with mixed rice. If you don't make some money, everyone will drink the northwest wind. ”

"Brother Xiao! If there is money, everyone can make it, and Chen Hailong can handle the coastal areas of Shandong. If you cooperate with us, the whole Jiangnan is yours. Your things will be sold to Jiangnan through our network. Not to mention anything else, this glass alone can make you rich. ”

"Good! When he goes back, the kid will increase his production. Mr. Wang, just wait a minute, someone will contact you. ”

"Good! Joyfully! Wang Wenyan was overjoyed, and raised his glass to Li Xiao again. Today, we talked about things and got benefits. Killing two birds with one stone, it is indeed a pleasure. You know, once those glazed glasses arrive in Jiangnan. It will have a fatal attraction to the clans in Jiangnan, and the price will be speculated to the sky.

"Now that we're done, can the kid go?"

"Huh! Don't delay Brother Xiao'er's affairs, farewell! ”

"This old man, Li Xiao has resigned." Li Xiao arched his hand to the old man behind him, and walked to the door under Wang Wenyan's stunned gaze.

"Huh! Little brother, you also walk slowly, the road is very long, and there are many alleys. If you turn the wrong corner, you might get lost. Where to go, only God knows. The old man sat still, but his voice clearly entered Li Xiao's ears.

"Dare to ask what the old man is called?"

"Old man Ye Xianggao!"
