Li Xiantong and Xiao Limin talked about late at night without emotion, and neither of them felt sleepy.

Xiao Limin ordered wine three times and listened to Li Xiantong talk about his youth.

Although Li Xiantong has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, he has not experienced war, and in this regard, the younger Xiao Limin is more touched, because when the soldiers besieged the imperial city, he had seen it beside Xiao Tiantu.

Xiao Limin recalled that at that time, there were still more than 30,000 people in the city, and these 30,000 were all elite soldiers and strong generals, which shows how greedy this Gongxuan Emperor was and afraid of death, and how he had no overall situation in the world.

Xiao Limin was already a little drunk: "At that time, the general kept a straight face every day, and when he wanted to fight Lingnan, the general had never been so serious. Perhaps many people are like this, and they have experienced the meaning of existence in the process, but when they really want to win, they are often more afraid of making a wrong move and losing the whole game. ”

Speaking of the past, Xiao Limin gushed endlessly: "At that time, Wang Zhen was still in the city, and he came out to negotiate with the general once, and the general invited Wang Zhen to compete. No one had ever seen that contest, but it was said that the general was wounded in his left hand and had seen the bones, and Wang Zhen finally went back dejected. It is rumored in the army that the general sacrificed his left hand and pointed his sword at Wang Zhen's throat, which could have killed him, but the general remembered that he was also a number one person in the rivers and lakes, and his subordinates showed mercy. ”

"On the day of the opening of the imperial city, more than 10,000 people were dropped, more than 5,000 people were cut, more than 3,000 people were distributed, and the rest had already died in the battle in those oppressive three months. I entered the palace with His Majesty later, and although it was unrecognizable, the basic blood stains on the corpses had been cleaned up, and the sergeants could still be seen carrying things there. The coffin of Emperor Gong was placed in the ancestral hall of the thousand families. ”

Li Xiantong opened his heart: "I used to think it was very strange, this Emperor Gong Xuan is absurd and unreasonable, why can so many people still gather around him, including Lu Zipo, who could have become a generation of grandmasters and leave a name in history, but he just wanted to be the minions of the dog emperor." And even if he lacks the skills to return to heaven, these people around him still accompany him to the end, and even if he dies, he will end up stable. ”

Xiao Limin sighed and said, "What Brother Li said is also what he thinks. I once asked Your Majesty this question, and Your Majesty told me that thousands of families have ruled the world for nearly 800 years, and in these 800 years, the capital has been moved twice and returned twice, and their ancestors are heroes and heroes, and they have won the hearts of the people. Among them, the imperial art and the king's way, only those who sit on the emperor in a thousand families can have the opportunity to be taught. ”

Li Xiantong smiled drunkenly, with a hint of disdain: "If you want to compare, it is much easier for our majesty to employ people." ”

Xiao Limin heard Li Xiantong's dissatisfaction, but Li Xiantong knew in his heart that he couldn't come clearly, so he used two simple words.

"What does Brother Li mean?" Xiao Limin deliberately probed.

The wine was in his intestines, and Li Xiantong didn't hide it: "Our majesty, my brother is loyal to him, so my Li family is not the only seedling." But the imposed favors, I don't think it's necessary. My Hou Ye, worthy of the name, is free to wait, not in charge of the army, empty name, people in the rivers and lakes have alienated me a lot, from previous years to this year, my Tai'an dart game, always like walking on the glacier, may fall into the water at any time, you say, am I a gain or a loss?

Li Xiantong asked Xiao Limin speechless.

Another glass of liquor entered his throat, Li Xiantong sobered up a little, and said to Xiao Limin in front of him: "I don't care what your purpose is for me, those words just now are indeed what I Li Mou thinks, I Li was born in this world, so I have a clear conscience, and the general doesn't need to make a big fuss about it." ”

Xiao Limin poured wine for Li Xiantong with a smile: "Some people love money, some people love fame, Brother Li lives a real life, and Limin admires it." To tell the truth, leaving Brother Li here is a request for Brother Li. ”

Li Xiantong leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed, he hadn't been so happy for a long time, and Fan Lingshan didn't let him drink more before.

With the strength of the wine, Li Xiantong laughed at himself: "I have lost all my connections in the rivers and lakes now, and the general has asked for me, but he can't ask for money?"

Xiao Limin smiled gently, and he was very generous to Li Xiantong's words: "As for me, I have an army of 80,000 in Qingzhou, and it is estimated that He Kun can get together 40,000 or 50,000 on the Duzhou side." Liao Qian, Tibet, 150,000, Guizhou Xu Dahu, with 80,000, Yunzhou Sima Lang, 100,000. If the war is fought together, and these four states raise troops together, I think it is very likely. When the time comes, I'm afraid that I will be tired of coping with it and lose this Qingzhou City. ”

The general was serious. Li Xiantong was not at ease at all: "Not to mention the troops of other state capitals, even if Liao Qian and others want to rebel, then they have to be famous and have the courage." What's more, how can these soldiers follow the opposition?" Although Li Xiantong was drunk, he was still sober at the moment.

Xiao Limin said: "Brother Li doesn't know, this Nanhai Prefecture and Yunzhou are separated by a river, and Sima Lang's 10,000 troops are enough to hold the southern fortress of Yunzhou. The soldiers of these prefectures were all recruited by the generals of various prefectures to guard the state capitals when the imperial court was in ruins, and they were no different from the pro-army. The generals of various prefectures can be regarded as responding to all calls in the local area, and they are all strong. These are all the general's heart diseases. ”

Li Xian channel: "These alone can't constitute a threat. ”

Xiao Limin bowed slightly: "The imperial court is strong, and if you want to suppress it, it will take some time." I'm not afraid, I'm only afraid of it, and I'm afraid that I'm suffering the people of Qingzhou. Rebels in the past dynasties, in order to save food, often choose to slaughter the city, the rebel army was good at eating benevolent and righteous divisions, and also did the slaughter of the city. As soon as the war began, there was no compatriotism to speak of. ”

Li Xiantong frowned: "Since that's the case, why don't you let the general know the situation?"

Xiao Limin said lightly: "The general knows the situation, and he may not act in time." ”

"Why?" Li Xiantong was puzzled.

Xiao Limin said: "If everything is not broken, it will not stand, and if you are worried, the general may not be able to do it." As for the transfer of troops from other state capitals, it is not permissible to act rashly without the order of the great general. Now it is equivalent to that my Qingzhou is surrounded by many people, and these 80,000 troops are far from enough. ”

Xiao Limin drank a glass of spirits, and then said, "The reason why I didn't pursue Duzhou's occupation of Red Robe City is also to buy some time. Xiao knew that Brother Li was a figure on the Qingzhu Hero List, and his kung fu was outstanding. If you can wish me a hand in these days, Xiao will be grateful. ”

Li Xiantong suddenly woke up most of the time: "The general wants to?"

Xiao Limin got up and knelt down on one knee, and Li Xiantong couldn't help him.

Xiao Limin said drunkenly: "Please also ask the Hou Ye to assist Limin in evacuating the people in the city in the past few days, and withdraw as much as you can!"
