The power struggle is cruel, for the sake of power, people will turn into beasts in human form, bite each other, and do whatever it takes, this is human nature, Li Yan as a student of history can not understand this truth.

But, no matter how you fight, there should be a bottom line, maybe in this era, Liu Zongmin's behavior is not a very uncommon thing, but Li Yan is not a person of this era, he can accept the environment of this era, accept the brutality of this era, but he can't accept the morality of such an era.

Why are women innocent? What about young children? I'm not a virgin, but I'm not a beast either!

"Brother Li Yan, don't be excited, what do you have to say......" Gu Junen didn't want Li Yan to have a head-on conflict with Liu Zongmin, although he and Liu Zongmin didn't get along much, but in general, the face was still passable, so he immediately grabbed Li Yan's hand and wanted him to go.

"Li Yan! You insult me! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to duel you! If it's a man, you'll come! Liu Zongmin's blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he pointed at Li Yan and roared angrily, if it weren't for Li Zicheng being here, he would definitely rush up and tear Li Yan alive.

"Liu Zongmin, a person who killed his wife and children is also worthy of being called a man?" Li Yan sneered and said, Duel? Will he duel with this reckless man? Just kidding!

"That's it!" Li Zicheng spoke, he didn't want the situation to get out of control, to be honest, he didn't care that Liu Zongmin killed his wife and children, but he praised it, because it represented Liu Zongmin's loyalty to him.

And Li Yan's reaction made him quite puzzled, it was Liu Zongmin's wife and children who killed him, what do you care? Is it really out of righteous indignation? If this is the case, Li Zicheng is worried, people who do big things are unscrupulous, and people with a high moral bottom line often have no good end.

"That's all for today's military discussion." Li Zicheng said with a serious face, then stared at Liu Zongmin and said: "Your loyalty is clear to me, Mr. Li is also thinking about breaking into the army today, you must not embarrass him, otherwise I will definitely not be spared!" ”

Liu Zongmin was stunned when he heard this, although his eyes still glared at Li Yan angrily, he could see that he hated this person to death, he was like a thief who had done something wrong, and was scolded according to the facts of his crime, he knew that he was wrong, but it didn't mean that he had to admit that Li Yan's behavior undoubtedly made him angry.

"Don't you understand?" Seeing that Liu Zongmin didn't react, Li Zicheng's voice was raised a little higher and said.

"I ...... I obey! Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth and slashed Li Yan, and then slammed his head twice, indicating his surrender to Li Zicheng.

Seeing Liu Zongmin's response, Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to Li Yan, put on a kind smile on his face, and said: "Brother Li Yan, this Liu Zongmin is a rough person, it is inevitable that things will be rough, now is the time to employ people, let him spare him." ”

Li Yan frowned when he heard this, he wanted to refute, but he also knew that as soon as Li Zicheng's words came out, he explained that he did not plan to deal with Liu Zongmin, and it was useless to say more, so he could only say helplessly: "King, if Liu Zongmin is not removed today, it will be a disaster in the future!" ”

"Li Yan, you dog thief! Why slander me! Liu Zongmin was horrified when he heard this, and shouted loudly.

"Shut up!" Li Zicheng turned around and kicked Liu Zongmin, who was still kneeling on the ground and straightened up, directly to the ground, and scolded sharply: "Pigs and dogs are not as good as things, if it weren't for the sake of you being considered a combat life, I would have cut you!" Don't roll out yet! ”

Liu Zongmin saw that Li Zicheng was angry, and in desperation, he could only kowtow two more heads, then looked at Li Yan resentfully, turned around and walked out.

And Li Yan also sighed, Li Zicheng is thunder and rain, and he will expose this matter with two feet, but what can he do? Li Zicheng is the lord, he is a minister, and Li Zicheng can already be regarded as giving him face if he can do this.

So Li Yan could only arch his hand and say, "King, that subordinate has retired first." "Xuan and Gu Junen went out of the account.

"Mr. Li has made a big mistake this time," Gu Junen said with a wry smile and shook his head. "This Liu Zongmin is from a martial arts master, arrogant, whipping and even killing at every turn, Mr. today offended him, I am afraid that he will take revenge on Mr. in the future."

Li Yan nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "Of course I know that this time will definitely hurt that reckless man, but I really can't help it, maybe I'm not a person who can do big things." ”

"I don't understand, isn't it just two women and a child, and it's Liu Zongmin's own wife. Why should Mr. be so angry, Liu Zongmin himself is not as good as a pig and a dog, why does Mr. need to be angry? Gu Junen is still quite puzzled, according to the moral concept of this era, although Liu Zongmin's approach is extreme, it is not uncommon, why to the point of such anger between people and gods?

Don't say that it's him Liu Zongmin, who is the great Chongzhen Emperor, and when the empire fell, he didn't forget to force his wife to death first, and then behead his daughter, and the most ridiculous thing is to pretend that he killed you for your good, is this reasonable? Or do these people think that human life can be decided by themselves at all?

"Is Liu Zongmin's wife his Liu Zongmin's private property? Is Liu Zongmin's son also his Liu Zongmin's private property? These are human lives! What kind of character is he, Liu Zongmin, who will kill him if he says he will kill him?! Li Yan stared at Gu Junen and asked.

"Alas, Mr. Li, you are still too merciful, this world is like this......" Gu Junen sighed.

"I'm not merciful, but because I'm still alone, is it right that this world is like this?" Li Yan asked rhetorically.

Gu Junen didn't know what to say, as a scholar, his lower limit was definitely higher than Liu Zongmin's, but after being immersed in the army for a long time, he himself was numb.

In the end, Gu Junen knew that he couldn't convince Li Yan, so he could only give up: "Anyway, Mr. be more careful, don't be conspired against by Liu Zongmin." ”

"Don't worry, you don't cause trouble, but it doesn't mean that you are afraid of something." Li Yan didn't care much about Liu Zongmin, and relied on his brain to play with himself from God's perspective, that is, the old birthday star hanged himself, and he was tired of it!

......

"Yo, why is Li joining the army sullen today" As soon as Li Yan entered the camp, he heard Gao Yigong's familiar voice.

"Don't bury me, it's not that Liu Zongmin provoked me!" When Li Yan heard Gao Yigong call himself Li to join the army, he knew that this kid was in arrears again.

Gao Yigong walked out with two pots of wine, looked at Li Yan with a smile and said, "Grandma, there are still people who can make us unhappy when Li joins the army!" This Liu Zongmin is also a talent! ”

Although Gao Yigong's status is not as high as Liu Zongmin's, his status as a "relative" determines his transcendent status, so he has always called several military leaders who broke into the camp by his name.

"I heard that Liu Zongmin's house is really ruthless, his wife and children are all under his hands, I can't think about it, I heard that his soldiers are also very scared, and many of them want to go to other generals." Gao Yigong turned out two wine bowls and started to participate in the wine, while chattering about what he had seen.

"Hmph, people who kill even their wives and children won't blink an eye when they kill anyone, I just don't know why King Chuang would let him go." Li Yan took a sip of the wine bowl and said with a cold snort.

"Do you want me to go and talk to Gao Niangniang, let her go and talk to King Chuang, and handle this Liu Zongmin?" Gao Yigong's thinking was simple, and he took a sip of wine to give Li Yan advice.

"Confused!" Li Yan tied up the wine bowl heavily on the desk, and the high skill under the voice trembled, and a lot of wine was spilled.

"Bai taught you to read so many books, what do you call it? Tell your relatives to interfere in politics! You're not only hurting yourself, you're also hurting Gao Niangniang, you know? Li Yan said angrily, Li Zicheng is not an unassertive person, in fact, Li Zicheng is too assertive, and he is a little paranoid.

"Oh oh" Gao Yigong said aggrieved twice, isn't he also trying to break the king? Instead, he was reprimanded.

"You've been camping all day, what's the trouble?" Li Yan didn't want to talk about Liu Zongmin anymore, so he simply opened his mouth and asked about Gao Yigong's situation in the back camp.

At this time, the army had not yet been built into the later five-battalion military system, and the current army was simply divided into two battalions, the front battalion was in charge of attacking, and the rear battalion was in charge of family, grain and grass, and baggage.

It is also because of this that the combat effectiveness of the front battalion is far stronger than the rear battalion, and this unspoken rule has been maintained until the founding of the Dashun state, and the reason why the rear battalion can be on the historical stage later is also because the front battalion is exhausted in the bloody battle with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Li Jin and Gao Yigong's rear battalion can be on the throne, and it was reorganized into the "loyal battalion" and the thirteen Kuidong families in the future.

"Well, it's not a matter of Rausch, it's just trivial things anyway, but some time ago, I caught a group of soldiers who escaped back." Gao Yigong thought about it and said.

"Soldiers who have escaped?" Li Yan was quite puzzled, would he escape back after going down the mountain?

"That's right, some of the soldiers who escaped down the mountain before have returned," Gao Yigong said after taking a sip of wine.

"And your old acquaintances."

"Who?" Li Yan's old acquaintance and escaped Kehai went, so much so that he couldn't remember his name.

"Earlier, you let go of that little ghost and ran back, and you wanted to sneak into the back camp, but you were caught by Lu Yingbiao's guy" Gao Yigong leaned closer and said, as if he was relieving Li Yan's anger, after all, it was because these two people escaped that Li Yan, who was killed, was almost beheaded.

"Three dogs? What about others? Li Yan recalled the thirteen or fourteen-year-old little soldier.

"I was taken away by Lu Yingbiao, I think I was locked up with those deserters and waited for two days to be beheaded together, which can be regarded as giving you a vent." Gao Yigong said with a smile.

"Can't be killed!" Li Yan suddenly said solemnly.

"It's not up to us to kill or not, it's a decision made by King Chuang, and we are only responsible for killing" Gao Yigong said casually, filling himself with a bowl of wine.

"Lao Gao, think about it, these deserters fled just to survive, and now they have run back, what does it mean?" Li Yan stared at Gao Yigong seriously and asked.

"It means that you can't live under the mountain......" Gao Yigong said after thinking about it.

"If there is no way to survive on the mountain, they will flee directly, why not take this opportunity to bring back the brother who escaped before and couldn't survive? We also have to give those brothers who want to come back a way to live! Li Yan said eloquently.

"Hmm..... What you said makes sense" Gao Yigong nodded, "But this matter can only be decided by King Chuang, I don't dare not listen to King Chuang" Although Gao Yigong agreed with Li Yan's words, he was obviously more afraid of Li Zicheng.

Secretly scolding Gao Yigong, Li Yan thought about it, and then said, "Can you do me a favor?" ”

"Don't help!" Gao Yigong directly refused: "The last time I asked me to change your visa, I desecrated the Buddhist temple, and I had nightmares for a few days. "Lao Gao, this is not to help me to break into the army, it is to help the king, but also to help Gao Niangniang, do you want to be defeated by the army, Gao Niangniang is going to be ......" Li Yan opened the flickering Dafa.

Sure enough, Gao Yigong is eating a set, he was raised by his sister, and he can't take it lightly when it comes to his sister's problems.

"That'...... Then you say, let's see if I can do it" Gao Yigong gritted his teeth and said hesitantly.

"I want to see Sangouzi, I have something to ask him, you can arrange it." Li Yan said solemnly.

I didn't expect Li Yan's request to be so simple this time, which also made Gao Yigong breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately he didn't let him do something blasphemous again, so he nodded and said: "This is easy to do, I'll talk to Lu Yingbiao and win, then tomorrow, I'll bring that little ghost to see you tomorrow." ”

"Okay!" Li Yan smiled and raised a wine bowl to toast Gao Yigong.

Gao Yigong reluctantly touched it, saying that he had helped Li Yan with this favor.
