53. A tough life needs no explanation(1/2)
"I really want to ask you, how do you feel about Xibohou... towards Xibohou?"
After probably chatting for a while, Huang Feihu finally raised this topic to Li Shushi.
It had been laid out for such a long time, so it was not too unexpected to mention it now, but Huang Feihu still seemed a little reluctant, which made Li Shushi feel that it was a little too strange.
"Although I haven't had the opportunity to see it in person, I have heard some rumors. If the rumors have a certain degree of credibility, then Xiqi, which encourages its people to open up wasteland for production and governs them with courtesy and humility, will definitely become a very powerful country. Even for a while
It seems a bit cowardly for a while, but if you can persist, within three generations it will surely develop into a force that cannot be underestimated in influencing changes in the world."
Li Shushi's words left Huang Feihu at a loss what to say.
Are what Li Shushi said correct?
Of course, no matter how you look at it, it is absolutely correct, but it is a pair of real... nonsense.
If Li Shushi had said these words a hundred years ago, maybe Huang Feihu would have been so shocked that the heavens and gods would bow to him... That would be impossible, but at least he wouldn't look as miserable as he does now. Because
Everything Li Shushi said just now was not some far-sighted words. Instead, they were facts that had already happened, and they were facts that even a three-year-old child on the street knew.
Even if we look into it carefully, we find that Di Xin and Ji Chang are related, and Ji Chang even married Di Xin's sister when he was young.
Although Di Xin's sister died early, and even how she died is unknown. But "Di Yi's return to his sister" was also a quite sensational event at that time - Di Yi's father Wen Ding had already started to do it because of fear, as Li Shushi said
Xiqi, who is rising like that, uses
Various methods finally curbed Xiqi's continuous development momentum, and also killed Xiqi's leader at the time, Ji Chang's father Ji Li. Logically speaking, the next step may be as Emperor Xin is preparing to launch an army to attack Dongbohou today.
The remnants sent troops to the west like that.
Naturally, Ji Chang, who succeeded to the throne at a young age, was also very high-spirited at that time, so he prepared his troops for a showdown with the powerful Shang Dynasty. Even if he lost, how could a young man really endure the hatred of his father and his country?
.
But fortunately for both of them, at this time, the Meng Fang, Lin Fang and other tribes in the southeast of the Shang Dynasty rebelled. The Dongyi people even invaded the original capital sanctuary of the Shang Dynasty, even though it had already been
It was in ruins due to the flooding of the Yellow River, but it still had a symbolic meaning that stung the sensitive nerves of businessmen, making them feel a huge threat.
At the same time, the Quanrong tribes in the northwest of Xiqi were also watching with eager eyes, which made the Zhou people calm down from the fanaticism of their father's hatred.
In this case, the newly succeeded King of Shang, Emperor Yi, after repeated weighings, finally adopted the method of marriage and threw an olive branch to Xiqi, and Ji Chang also weighed and compared. Finally agreed to the marriage and acted very positively, giving
It's enough for a businessman.
Of course, because Ji Chang's posture was very low, it also allowed the Zhou State, which had originally submitted to Shang, to continue to adopt a surrendering posture.
In return, on the day of the wedding, the young Ji Chang also inherited his father's position as Xibohou, and continued to become the nominal and de facto controller of the western tribes, with the power to conquer the tribes under his rule.
In this way, the merchants could confidently and boldly engage in the battle against the east, and the Zhou people could continue to secure their land, so that even if the Quanrong people wanted to invade the south, they did not dare to attack easily because of their worries. At this point, not only did the Shang Dynasty avoid
The embarrassment of being attacked from both sides allowed Ji Chang, who was originally young, to quickly get rid of the rebellious stage of youth and begin to transform into a seasoned politician.
Of course, although Li Shushi's words were talking nonsense with open eyes, they were not completely nonsense. It's just that no one could clearly know the subtext hidden in his words. And because Ji Li and Ji Chang were both
The story of this generation caused the listener to have a "beautiful misunderstanding" and misinterpreted Li Shushi's... nonsense according to his own common sense.
Anyway, even if Huang Feihu is still believed to be a person who can continue to date, the trust between the two people, at least in Li Shushi, may not be what it used to be. After all, if it wasn't for "good luck" last time, Li Shushi was almost tricked to death.
"Since you don't want to say more, I won't force you. Anyway, the emperor probably just needs an attitude on this matter. I think Xibohou's sons are very smart, and his ministers are also very dedicated.
You will understand the emperor’s good intentions.”
Huang Feihu, who said this, also looked very hesitant, as if these words did not come from his sincerity, making people extremely suspicious.
Did you do it on purpose, or did you really have to say such a thing for some reason?
"But did Mr. Huang Feihu come to my poor place just to say this? If you don't dislike it, I have some crude wine here. Mr. Huang Feihu can taste it, but it probably can't be compared with what you usually get."
"Forget it, I am also entrusted by others, and I hope to find more people to help. However, some words are still inappropriate for me to say. Anyway, as long as you maintain the current growth rate, they will still take the initiative to come to you.
It's too late for you to think about how you should respond at that time. It's better than if you agree now and then blame me for swallowing up the benefits you can get."
It turns out that the Xiqi people have already begun activities in Chaoge and are preparing to rescue the Xibohou who was imprisoned in Youli?
Speaking of which, even Li Shushi had heard that the Xiqi people were spending a lot of money under San Yisheng's arrangement and constantly visiting various gods and goddesses in Chaoge City. He didn't know whether it was to rescue Ji Chang or to take the opportunity to carry out some unknown activities.
Regardless of the outcome of the conspiracy, the Xiqi people's reputation for generosity has begun to spread throughout Chaoge City. Perhaps this was one of their goals. It can also be proved that at least Huang Feihu's last sentence was not watery.
That's too much.
Of course, this also proves that the damn Huang Feihu planned to steal the benefits that Huang Jun promised him from the beginning.
It's really hard to know people's faces but their hearts. This Huang Feihu has a very bad heart!
"I won't stay here any longer. I know that because of my problems, you have encountered some...trouble, but I hope you believe that I didn't mean to do this. So even if something unpleasant happens to you in the future, please
Please bear with me."
Huang Feihu finally left such a sentence that Li Shushi thought was very threatening. Although it seemed that Huang Feihu's face was hard to look at when he said this, why did people feel like "Is this guy a doormat?", but no matter
Is it Li Shushi or several other impulsive guys who still interpret this as Huang Feihu's threat to them. And it is a big threat.
But do you really think these guys are scared? If you really get upset, even gods will kill you to see if you are afraid!
A few days after Huang Feihu left, Li Shushi's long-awaited transfer order was issued. However, it was far from Li Shushi's expectation that they would go to the front line to fight against the Dongyi tribe. Their first mission was not to go to the east.
Instead, he headed south.
"By the way, do any of you know this guy named Deng Jiugong better?"
Although he asked this question, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on a certain witch. After all, compared to them "travelers" in different time and space, the daughter of the Marquis in front of them is a genuine native. News
Much more informed than them.
"Are you talking about Deng Jiugong?" Sure enough, a certain woman who had recently successfully "changed" her job and been promoted to a witch looked very itchy while licking her lips and said, "This guy's body is very familiar to me, but my body is very familiar to me."
I just don’t want to say it” expression.
Li Shushi could only stretch out his hands and make a very bad expression for such a guy who looked like he had nothing to do.
As a result, even a certain witch had to speak, but Li Shushi was punished by the "Iron Fist of Justice".
At least in terms of strength, the feeling given to him by the witch in front of him and by Su Xiaololi far away were exactly the same, no different.
"That old general was Wen Zhong's favorite general. He followed Wen Zhong on many expeditions and made a lot of contributions. He was later appointed as the commander-in-chief of the 'Sanshan Pass'. If it wasn't a big battle, Wen Zhong wouldn't need it.
When the occasion arises, he is often sent to lead troops into battle."
"Um... just asking, just asking. Where is this 'Sanshan Pass'? I seem to have never heard of a place with this name. Or maybe I am ignorant, so I have never heard of such an important place.
Please be sure to tell me."
"'Three Mountain Pass'? As far as I know, it should be in the south of Luodi. It is named because it is surrounded by three mountains: Longmen Mountain, Shaoshi Mountain and Xiangshan Mountain. The west wind is shining, and the pass is as strong as iron. It is located in the Central Plains, where Nanman and Jiu
At the junction of three places in Li, the three ethnic groups are mixed, the scenery is prosperous but there are many grudges, and the tastes are mixed but they are cautious about each other. Initially, in
The checkpoint here was set up to prevent Nanman and Jiuli Sanmiao, but now it has completely lost its original role and has become a very honorable position. Now it has been calm there for many years. At most, I heard that there are monsters causing trouble.
There are many people nearby who are harassing me, and you can often hear the screams of monsters and beasts."
"It turns out, it turns out that this is the legendary 'Three Mountain Pass'. I am familiar with this place. I am really familiar with it..."
Even a certain witch felt helpless for Li Shushi who suddenly went crazy for no apparent reason. As for the others, they had long been accustomed to it. Anyway, as long as this period of time passed, everything would be fine after a while, and everyone just pretended that they didn't hear anything.
It's ready.
When Li Shushi thought about it, an old general like Deng Jiugong was either amiable and looked like a talkative old man, or he was vigorous and resolute, just like a stubborn cow. Is there anything else besides that?
Although Li Shushi didn't dare to guarantee the image, he couldn't imagine it for a while because his imagination was too poor.
But when he saw Deng Jiugong himself, he felt that he might have seen a third possibility.
"Are you the guy who was sent to me by the emperor? Get familiar with this place first. There will be a pre-departure drill in a few days. I don't want anyone to be late, and I also don't want anyone to disobey orders. Specific details.
What's the situation? You can think that this is a test I set for you, but I hope you can understand one more thing, that is, I don't want an incompetent guy to lose his life in the most cruel place, the battlefield, because of his arrogance.
, This is my greatest responsibility to my subordinates."
Although his face is as cold as ice and his words are quite offensive, in Li Shushi's opinion, there is not much wrong with him. If he gets rid of the appearance and gets to the essence, he can be regarded as a good person.
General.
"I completely agree with what General Deng said, except for one thing."
Deng Jiugong raised his eyelids, but didn't say anything. Of course, he didn't stop Li Shushi from continuing, so he just treated it as his acquiescence.
"The cruelest place in the world is never on the battlefield, but in the distant court."
Then, Li Shushi turned around and left. Judging from the scenery he could see out of the corner of his eye, Deng Jiugong still had that ice face.
Anyway, what Li Shushi said just now was just something he felt, and he didn't expect any response.
I would never say that this kind of behavior is too cool. Even a middle-aged boy has to be a low-key middle-aged boy.
It's just that this world is like this. When you plan to do something in a low-key manner, the world will jump out to retaliate against you full of malice. I don't know if it is to retaliate against you. I don't know when you bullied her who was still young again.
Or other reasons.
"Eula! That guy over there, stop!" Although the voice sounded like that of a girl, it wasn't too tough.
Looking back...how should I put it? Why did Li Shushi feel that only the top of her head was covered with clouds, even though she saw two beautiful girls smiling brightly?
It's extremely painful.
Li Shushi was certain that he did not recognize the two tall and beautiful women in front of him, but judging from the way they looked directly at him, it was obvious that they did not just call him casually, but were coming for him from the beginning.
To be continued...
