I don't know if Li Yuan's brainwashing is too profound, when Bian Hao led the army to the outside of Tanzhou City in a hurry, he saw Ma Xichong leading the whole family, the Ma clan, and the remnants of the Chu soldiers waiting in line at the city gate, which frightened the cautious commander to think that it was the enemy army.

It wasn't until Ma Xichong led everyone to kneel that Bian Hao took a deep breath, his heart was extremely shocked, and then he was ecstatic. hurriedly rode a tall horse forward to surrender. After getting up, Ma Xichong walked in front with the hundred officials of the Chu State to lead the army of Bian Hao into the city, and then stood honestly to the side and waited for the fate. The whole process was very harmonious, both sides were kind and pleasant, only the privy envoy Chen Jue's face was black.

The officers and men of the Tang Army dropped their jaws in shock, there is still such a war? Unheard.

And the scene when the army entered the city was even more incredible. Due to the years of war in the Chu State, the fields were uncultivated, and there were natural disasters, and this was the time of famine. Based on the principle that this city is already the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the first thing Bian Hao did when he entered the city was to open a warehouse and release grain to help the victims.

The people of the city have long hated the tyranny of the Ma brothers for many years, and Bian Hao's move directly harvested a wave of popular hearts. The people welcomed the arrival of the king, and they were all grateful and rejoicing......

At night, Tanzhou City, which was still under siege and the eve of the destruction of the three armies during the day, was extremely lively at this time.

The commander Bian Ho ordered the whole army to rest in the city for one night and wait for the military order. The generals and colonels above the capital were all dragged to the palace of the king of Chu to drink and celebrate. And the three brothers Li Yuan, who made the first contribution, were unexpectedly excluded. Luo Erhu, who was depressed in his heart, was comforted by Li Yuan, so he had to endure the fire and find an uninhabited house in the city at random, and the three of them settled here temporarily.

The moonlight grew heavier, and the gray clouds gradually dissipated.

Luo Erhu chewed the cake in a big gulp and said with relish: "Hey hey big brother, I'm really convinced of you today!" There are only three of us, what kind of King Chu was really scared by you to open the city and surrender! You see that our army has just entered the city, and the soft egg immediately knelt down to greet him, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, so he could still be the king? Such a big city, in the blink of an eye, it will become our Datang! ”

Li Yuan smiled faintly, looking very calm: "Erhu, do you think that Tanzhou City will be our Tang Dynasty in the future?" Do you know how many kings have changed in this city over the years? Ma Xichong is a soft egg, but his father is not. ”

The black man held the half-chewed cake in his hand, and looked at Li Yuan in a daze: "Big brother, I don't understand." The king of Chu has been arrested, and the city of Tanzhou has been occupied by our army, won't it be our Tang Dynasty in the future? ”

Li Yuan shook his head and stared at the crescent moon in the night sky that was sometimes invaded by clouds and mist: "If you occupy a city, and then there is another Ma Xichong, you will still lose it." What's the use of holding it in your hand and not keeping it? ”

"I still don't understand! It's okay, big brother, you just understand. ”

Luo Erhu's temperament is particularly typical in this era. These men from poor backgrounds have seen the broken mountains and rivers, and the broken families and people, in addition to survival, their hearts are in a state of confusion, which is the stage of shaping their hearts.

At this time, if a leader appears, they can be completely convinced, and even become faith, and then they will not obey the order, and the battle will be particularly brave, and the mind will gradually be affected. This is what later generations called the imitation and shaping of values.

Obviously, now Li Yuan has gradually become the leader of Luo Erhu. I saw Li Yuan pat the black man's sturdy shoulder with a smile: "Brother, if you don't understand it now, you will understand it later!" ”

Luo Erhu smiled happily, and then touched the protruding piece of the breastplate with his hand, and it was not difficult to guess that it was the ten taels of silver during the day. Then he continued to nibble on the cake.

Liu Jiangsheng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, seemed preoccupied at this time: "Brother Yuan, I think you have changed!" ”

Li Yuan was instantly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly probed: "Huh? Where to start? ”

Liu Jiangsheng seemed to be immersed in his own memories, and just smiled to himself: "Do you remember?" In the past, in the village, you always went to peek at the widow next door, and once you were beaten, you ran away, shouting 'I am Liu Jiangsheng' while running. ”

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and rolled his eyes: "Why are you mentioning this......

In addition to the embarrassment, Luo Erhu's rough laughter came: "Hahaha brother, you have done this kind of thing!" Hahaha, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt! ”

Li Yuan blushed and glared fiercely: "Shut up!" ”

Liu Jiangsheng was like no one beside him, still chattering: "After you shouted that time, the widow brought a few Lizheng to our house, although you made a mistake, but my mother said that I have to protect you, so I carried it down." But you came forward and said that you did it, and we were beaten together. ”

Even if the eldest brother can't speak well, Luo Erhu really can't hold back: "Poof~ Hahahahahaha!" ”

Liu Jiangsheng turned his head to look at Li Yuan, who looked embarrassed, and said seriously: "Brother Yuan, don't think about it. I mean, every time you get into trouble since you were a child, let's carry it together, and my mother doesn't worry about you less. This time, we joined the army together, I am always afraid that you will make a mistake again, something will go wrong, and I am very anxious! You offended Ji Dutou that day, and the money saved by my mother is gone, I feel sorry for you, and I feel sorry for my mother!

But now I don't think so. Today in that hall, although I don't understand what you said to the King of Chu, I know that you used to be unable to say it, and we don't have a book in our family! That man is a great king, and you dare to speak like that, it is so majestic! At that time, I thought you were messing up again, and we couldn't go back! The legs and feet are so nervous that they are twitching, for fear that we will all fall into it, and my mother will have no one to send her to the end! ”

This tall man, after all, is only twenty years old, and he has left home for the first time, and his eyes are already red when he talks about this: "But, let's all be fine now!" Not only did you get your mother's money back, but you also earned more money, and you also made a great contribution this time! Maybe you can be an official when you go back! If my mother knows that you have become better, you don't have to worry about it anymore! ”

Growing up together since childhood, Li Yuan knows that the obsession in the hearts of this brother is nothing more than a filial piety word and a righteous word. At this time, he was also infected by it: "Jiang Sheng, I won't say anything more!" In short, my mother and you protected me before, and I will protect you both in the future. In this world, you are my only relatives, and we will always be brothers! Also, don't cry all the time, like a little lady! ”

Liu Jiangsheng sniffed and smiled with relief: "Well, Brother Yuan, I believe you!" Whatever you say is what you say! ”

Luo Erhu hurriedly interjected: "There is still me!" ”

Li Yuan roared generously: "Cheng!" We will always be good brothers! ”

The three of them clapped their hands and shouted, "Good brothers!" ”

"Good brother!"

Li Yuan inexplicably slandered, how can there be a taste of Taoyuan's three knots, something is wrong......

After a moment of sensationalism, Luo Erhu suddenly said: "Big brother, thanks to you this time, I won this King of Chu and this big city!" Why don't you reward the handsome here? The size is for you to do as an official! ”

Liu Jiangsheng stared at it for a long time, and said with envy: "Brother Yuan, look at your armor, I don't think Ji Du's head is even better!" ”

Li Yuan replied expressionlessly: "This body is borrowed, and I have to return it when it dawns!" ”

"What? Big brother, you have made such a big contribution, and you don't give you a single piece of armor? I'm dizzy when I look at that birdside handsome! You see, tonight's drinking and celebration didn't call the three of us, that birdman is definitely not a good thing! Damn! Luo Erhu endured it all night, and he couldn't hold it anymore and scolded him.

"Don't talk nonsense! This was originally borrowed from Bian Shuai, so naturally I have to pay it back! ”

Liu Jiangsheng suddenly said with a nervous face: "Brother Yuan, Bian Dashuai won't give nothing, right?" You see, the city of Tanzhou has been taken, and the army has also entered the city, this time you are a great achievement! But Bian Dashuai didn't see you, and he didn't let people pass the word, and he didn't even have our share in celebrating! How many hours have passed! ”

Luo Erhu urged eagerly: "Yes, big brother, the handsome over there definitely doesn't want to admit it!" Why aren't you in a hurry? No, when the day comes, I'll go to him to reason! If he doesn't give anything, even if I don't do it, I'll have to twist a piece of his meat out! ”

Li Yuan yelled solemnly: "Shut up! ”

Seeing that Luo Erhu reluctantly stopped making noise, Li Yuan smiled coldly: "The army has just entered the city, and it is estimated that the military affairs of our marshal here are very busy." In short, don't worry! Sooner or later, Bian Dashuai will have to see me, and he can't help but see me. ”

Liu Jiangsheng was puzzled: "Why? ”

Li Yuan said faintly: "I used him as a shield, I guess I'm annoyed now......
