But once Li Po turns around, his speech cannot be described as gentle and drizzle. He will try his best to give you the impression of being honest and frank.
But now, he is no longer the little person in the refugee camp, and he does not need to deliberately try to please others, especially when the world is in chaos, and the intimidating power of the powerful family has been reduced to the minimum.
At this point, Li Po understood very clearly.
Actually, the reason why they started fighting each other as soon as they met was not Li Po's fault alone.
What Yu Chixin did was also wrong. Since he had the intention of surrender, "surprise" or something like that was the most important thing.
If you send someone to Yun Nei to inform you first, or ask Chen Yuan to bring a message and introduce it in the middle, things will go more smoothly, and even if things don't go through, it won't make things look too ugly.
I have to say that he is a bit too confident. Although he is much more humble than his younger brother in words, he still shows pride in his actions.
Of course, it is meaningless to distinguish who is right and who is wrong. There is no right or wrong in some things, only success or failure.
But no matter how well Li Po said it, the twist was too big.
Yu Chixin's pride would not allow him to be moved by such simple words after such a conflict.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, brother... The two of us brothers came to Yunnei just to thank the general for his help. We have no other intention. The general does not need to worry about this. I will wait for you."
I am not an ungrateful person. We will keep the friendship between generals in mind. We will surely be richly rewarded in the future."
Li Po smiled and didn't take it seriously. There are many ungrateful people, especially those of you from a wealthy family. As for whether you will repay the favor or retaliate for this face-to-face humiliation if there is a chance in the future, only God knows.
His mind is spinning really fast. If you don't like it directly, then just use emotion and reason.
Immediately, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Brother Yuchi, where else can he go?"
Without waiting for Yu Chixin to speak, he continued: "Oh, that means we are going to Jinyang. The Duke of Tang Dynasty has great talents and great plans. His reputation of being thirsty for talents has spread throughout Jin Dynasty..."
At this time, Li Po couldn't help but smile, glanced at Yuchi Kai, and continued: "What Wulang said just now is a bit unpleasant, but the meaning is quite clear. Given the family background of Tang Gong, he came to Jinyang.
Even if Duke Tang is indifferent to the situation in Turks, Hebei, and Shandong, Wulang will definitely not complain. Am I right?"
Yu Chikai's eyes were already a little red after being stimulated repeatedly by him. But the battle just now also shocked him.
He would definitely not admit that he felt a little guilty and timid. But at this moment, he just snorted, but it was clear that he had lost his energy. A good man doesn't suffer the consequences.
The irritability and anger of the noble disciples are never unreserved. Most of the time, they are just showing their attitude, which is fundamentally different from recklessness.
And Yu Chixin really frowned this time. Is that right? Of course it is right, but the truth is sometimes the most hurtful. Even if it is right, it will not be lovable.
.
"It seems that I was really wrong in waiting to come to Yunnei..."
It's not easy to say what he said today completely.
Li Po laughed and interrupted him again, "Brother Yuchi is wrong. Yun Nei is under Taiyuan's left-behind jurisdiction. Once here, it is no different from Jinyang."
"The ancients always said that good birds choose trees to roost. Now that I have said this, although I am in a humble position and have a shallow vision, I can still try to explain the situation in Jin for Brother Yuchi."
"That's it. Brother Yuchi will have to think about whether he wants to stay or go."
"Well, since we are in Mayi, let's talk about Mayi County first."
After listening to his eloquent talk, the three guests finally pricked up their ears, and the dishes and wine on the table all lost their temptation in their eyes.
The previous turmoil was more like an appetizer.
Yes, whether these people are desperate for face or ambitious, it can be said that the road ahead is uncertain and they have no plan. Otherwise, how could they come to a place like Yunnei together.
Successfully attracting their attention, Li Po began to give advice in front of outsiders for the first time.
He spoke in an unhurried manner, with clear enunciation and a Kansai accent, which made the three of them feel friendly at first, and their previous grudges dissipated a lot.
Even if they all come from a wealthy family, none of the teachings they have received would involve anything like this on the psychological level. They would never have thought that some people could really pull off such tricks easily and make others gradually lose their guard.
heart of.
"Here in Yunnei, naturally we, the Heng'an Town Army, are respected. The territory is not big, and there are not too many soldiers and horses. However, you should know where the elites are."
"There are more than ten thousand good horses on the pasture. Don't be surprised. Except for the war horses I raised, they were all snatched from the Turks. This year I led my troops to Yunzhong again and captured thousands of Turks.
There are countless cattle and sheep.”
"This is not my boast or my credit to others. In last year's battle, the Turks suffered heavy losses, as evidenced by their failure to go south this year. I also took advantage of the opportunity and have been preparing for this for more than half a year... I'm here.
It’s not that we are very ambitious, we are all forced. The tens and hundreds of thousands of people in Yunnei have been able to live safely until now, but they can only rely on the support of the Turks. If we don’t work hard, what few of them will see when they come to Yunnei
But it’s not such a peaceful scene.”
At this time, Su Dan, who had been silent, was extremely surprised when he heard this. There are tens of thousands of good horses? Countless cattle and sheep? These words can be called shocking to him.
You know, his family used to be in charge of the world's finances and taxes, and even in those days of peace, how many horses could there be in Mayi Ranch?
Now it is actually increasing instead of decreasing?
How much food can 200,000 people eat? How many cattle and sheep did this person take to rob the army and the people? Yunnei must have saved a lot before, or there was food and grass shipped from Jinyang? Otherwise, he
Damn it, what kind of harm do you have to do to the Turks before they can support you to this extent?
The more I listened, the more something was wrong. I couldn't help but say, "General, are you saying that... the... food and grass in this cloud are all from plundering Turks?"
At the same time, he was still muttering in his heart, if this is true, how much hatred must there be between you and the Turks? This is not a matter of fighting for your life or not, this is simply... well, a few years ago, such military exploits, awarded
It is easy to open a mansion and coordinate the three departments.
The Yuchi brothers were also suppressed. They felt the same way as Su Dan. Their first thought was that it was impossible. With the few people in Heng'an Town and lending them a thousand soldiers, they could still go to the grassland to show off their power?
Are all Turks stupid?
Su Tan's question hit the point. Yuchi Kai continued to look down upon him. Bragging about your merits is not the way you do it. If you say that you colluded with the Turks and asked the Turks to send some good horses, cattle and sheep, and even more
Is it more credible?
Li Po smiled and shook his head. Some of them felt relieved immediately for some unknown reason. This boasting is a bit outrageous. Just admit it.
But what Li Po said next caused them to collapse.
"Brother Su is wrong. It's not robbery. We are not thieves. How can we call it robbery?"
"It's a long story. Let's chat while we eat. Some of you have come from afar. Let me offer you a toast and fill your stomachs. I think Brother Su is very cold. If you don't slow down, you will
But I can’t go anywhere, I’m afraid I’ll get seriously ill here.”
A few people drank two drinks in a daze and ate a few bites of food. Not to mention, the food was really good and very similar to the taste of Kansai people.
The three visitors from afar were already hungry and couldn't stop eating once they entered their mouths. Even though they were unhappy and worried, they all ate deliciously now.
Yu Chikai also threw away the dignity of a noble child, and ate faster and faster. After devouring it, how could he still have the slightest trace of the noble family's demeanor?
This time, the reception was getting better and better.
Yu Chixin no longer mentioned the topic of staying or leaving, and had a few drinks with Li Po. His mind seemed to have broadened with his muttering, and his speech was no longer so awkward and stiff.
After a few glasses of wine were toasted, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Even Yu Chikai was forced by his brother to toast Li Po and apologize to Li Po. Although he was still reluctant, it was a good start.
It was Yu Chikai who brought the topic back. He was not convinced. He gnawed on the bones and muttered, "General, please don't bully me and others who don't know how to fight. Turks are not so easy to rob. You know, there has been no one for many years."
The soldiers have been to the north of the Great Wall."
Li Po looked at him and curled his lips inwardly. The etiquette of the Kansai clan was not very good. He was chewing bones while talking to others. It was so rude.
He was slandering in his heart, but his face was calm and calm, "Wu Lang is quick to talk to others... but in these days, who can I brag about my achievements to?"
"Don't worry about this, let's talk about the main topic. With our Heng'an Town Army stationed in Yunnei, the Turks will not easily go south with all their strength..."
"Well, this is the situation in our Yunnei. The previous few battles can be said to be unexpected. We won a few small victories. We can't confront the Turks head-on. We can only act as a diversion. If the Turks want to come back again,
I can only lead my troops to clear the country and defend the city, but I probably won’t get any benefits.”
"There are no big cities in Mayi County. Apart from Yunnei City, there are Mayi City and Shenwu. Not to mention Shenwu, almost all of them were massacred by the Turks last year. Mayi City is still intact."
"Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi, and Liu Wuzhou, the lieutenant of Mayi County, are all there."
"These two are not on good terms. It's the time of year, and I won't hide it from you. Prefect Wang has no military power. When he first arrived, he forced my father-in-law away. Even if he has the ability to reach heaven, what can he do? Let's talk about horses.
Liu Wuzhou, the lieutenant of the Yi County, was born as a small official in Mayi, and he is just a coward."
"I just followed the army on the northern expedition, had some fun in Yingyang Mansion, and was brought back to Mayi by Governor Wang. I was originally going to rely on him to help me, but unexpectedly, the two turned against each other and are now in a very unbearable quarrel. What's worse,
This man even sent an assassin to Yunnei to assassinate me. Do you think it’s funny or not?”
