Chapter two hundred and seventy fourth on the road
Xiao Han was suddenly startled, knowing that he had let something slip again, he immediately laughed and said, "No, you heard wrong! I was asking if Liu Hongji is okay?"
"It's okay." Li Shimin shook his head, "Liu Zhenghui is in Jinyang. He secretly sent a secret message, saying that he saw Liu Hongji. He told us not to worry too much. Liu Wuzhou should have some use in keeping him, so besides eating
It's just a slight pain in the flesh, nothing more. If there's anything wrong, it's that his newly grown hair was shaved off again. This time, it's said that he even shaved off his beard and eyebrows..."
"What? What does Liu Wuzhou want to do? Make braised eggs?" Xiao Han couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Why is Liu Hongji so unlucky? Everyone has trouble with his hair? Is it because he is afraid that he will be like Monkey Sun, who plucks his hair and performs magic?
So you just pulled out all his hair at once?
Thinking of the hairless appearance of this guy in his mind, Xiao Han couldn't help laughing, but it was funny. Looking back on history, this guy seemed to have really committed a crime against Tai Sui and was captured several times in succession. But the important thing is that every time he
Returning safely every time! It can't all depend on luck. Xiao Han always felt that this silly-looking guy definitely had his own unique way to save his life.
Li Shimin was also distressed at this time, knocked his head, and sighed deeply.
He didn't have many people he could use, so he lost another general. This really made him feel distressed, and his resentment towards Pei Ji deepened.
He was speechless for a moment, and while the others had not returned yet, Xiao Han reached out and pulled the corner of Li Shimin's clothes: "King Qin, King Qin?"
"What for?" Xiao Lizi put down his hand and replied reluctantly.
"Have you heard that Wang Shichong of Luoyang has several generals under his command? They seem to be named Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin and so on?"
"I've heard of it. I used to be from Wagang Village, and I worked with Li Mi for a while. Why do you ask?" Li Shimin looked at Xiao Han strangely. He was still very familiar with the enemy's generals. After all, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles.
Xiao Han looked around and saw that everyone was busy with personal matters. No one was looking at them. After a few moments, he leaned into Li Shimin's ear and whispered: "You said we can find someone to persuade them to surrender, okay?"
"Persuading you to surrender? Why should we?" Li Shimin replied angrily to Xiao Han. In his view, now that Datang and Wang Shichong were fighting overtly and covertly, their generals could not be overshadowed by his enemy.
"Why?" Xiao Han was also asked by Xiao Lizi.
I think at the beginning, history only said that Qin Shubao and a few people surrendered on the battlefield, without mentioning a word about the reasons. Now think about it, there are indeed big loopholes in it. Two groups of people were fighting to the death, and suddenly a group of people surrendered.
, this is too unreasonable!
"Then, since Wang Shichong is not a wise master, but since we treat each other with sincerity, what do you think?" Xiao Han asked tentatively.
"I don't think it's good!" Li Shimin lay with his arms on his head and sighed: "You, please don't come up with bad ideas! Don't wait until the persuasion to surrender is not successful, then join in a few people, lose your wife and lose the army.
I won’t do it!”
"What do you call a bad idea?" Xiao Han still didn't give up, stretched out his hand and pulled Li Shimin and said: "Don't make a conclusion so early, everything is possible! I think it's better to give this a try! Just listen to me this time
!When have I ever done anything unreliable?”
Li Shimin shook Xiao Han a few times, but did not shake Xiao Han away. He had no choice but to let him pull him and asked dissatisfiedly: "How many unreliable things have you done?"
"That's different!" Xiao Han was so annoyed that he threw his arm and said angrily: "If you don't write, I will! Anyway, I am still the superior of Lijingmen. When I got to the army, I asked my subordinates to bring the letter to
In Luoyang!"
"Haha..." Li Shimin was suddenly amused by Xiao Han, sat up and joked: "You wrote? Just the words you wrote, are you sure people won't think you are deliberately entertaining them?"
"Then I asked you to write, but you didn't write! This is not helping me, this is helping you!" Xiao Han was really anxious. He turned his head and started sulking into the fire.
Seeing this, Li Shimin had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, why not just write a letter? At most, I can find someone in Luoyang to deliver the letter!"
"That's pretty much it!" Xiao Han said angrily, like a little daughter-in-law with her hands behind her back who had just been coaxed! But soon even he noticed something was wrong and rubbed his head in embarrassment. As for Xiao Han,
Li Zi fell to the ground laughing a long time ago and almost stuffed his head into the fire...
While he was talking, Li Shimin's followers all came back.
This forest is very safe, and there is even a crystal clear stream. While filling the water, they also caught two squirrels in the river, and they can make a bowl of broth when they come back. Continuous traveling is very taxing on the body.
, I can’t stand it if I only eat solid food!
The water in the hanging pot boiled. Xiao Han cut half of the meat he had just taken out with a knife and poured it into the pot. Others poured some rice and squirrel meat into it. When it was cooked, everyone got a piece.
bowl.
A bowl of meat porridge, not much bigger than a fist, was not enough to fill their stomachs. Fortunately, they all brought dry food, that is, dry biscuits. They put them on the fire to heat them up, and swallowed them like juicy dates. The taste was not very good, but they were hungry.
I don't care too much.
After eating, it was time to hit the road immediately. Although Xiao Han knew that strenuous exercise was not appropriate just after eating, no one would listen to him, so he could only scold his mother while gritting his teeth and hurried on.
That night, the group arrived at Tongguan. After entering the city, Li Shimin did not disclose his identity, but checked into the inn in a low-key manner in the name of a messenger, and set off again before dawn the next day.
After leaving Tongguan and heading eastward, there is the Yellow River. This is the first time Xiao Han saw the mother river in the Tang Dynasty. In the wide river channel, the mighty river water carries the sediment from the Loess Plateau and rolls towards it.
East.
The Tang Dynasty was probably the last dynasty that was nurtured by the Yellow River. By the Song Dynasty, the evil dragon of the Yellow River began to gradually show its claws!
It floods every five years and breaks out every ten years. Every change brings endless pain to people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Of course, Xiao Han couldn't care about what happened hundreds of years later. He just saw the Yellow River while riding a horse, and suddenly remembered that Guangtong Canal connected the Yellow River and Chang'an?
Why didn't you choose to take a boat in the first place? Going down the river is fast and stable, and the most important thing is: it won't wear your thighs to pieces and cause pain when you move!
Taking advantage of the break, I asked Li Shimin, but Little Plum looked disgusted: How good is it to ride a horse? Take a boat? If it capsizes, wouldn't you drown?
Xiao Han couldn't complain about this bastard answer. He was afraid of drowning when riding in a boat. How come you weren't afraid of falling to death when riding a horse?
No wonder there weren’t many ships during this period of time in the Tang Dynasty. It turns out that the roots are here! Even the highest ruler of this country doesn’t pay attention to it. It’s strange that the people below pay attention to it!
This is not possible, Xiao Han still wants to see the white sails dotting the nine waters of Chang'an, instead of the empty moat flowing alone day and night.
Later, from Tongguan to Hanguguan, Xiao Han worked hard to instill the benefits of water transportation into Li Shimin. He was so serious that he even forgot about the pain in his body. Xiao Han's ears became calloused and he wished he could
