Chapter 4: Change of Conquest (Part 3) "Actually, this is not a new problem!" Li Xu slowly put away his smile and said seriously, "I think someone has asked you before. Li wants to know what you and your brothers are doing. And fight?”
"Of course, we have to report it to the imperial court, and we are going to be a concubine!" Zheng Bo, the governor of Xiangcheng County, was the first to answer, although he himself did not believe the answer at all.
"When a man establishes himself in the world, he must achieve great fame!"
"Get your fame immediately!"
The generals responded nonchalantly. They didn't expect that the new boss with a beard in front of them also liked the tone that only literati would be keen on. They had said the same answer thousands of times, and they didn't need to pay attention at all. Think, open your mouth and come
"If you use these words to order your brothers, I wonder how they will react?" Li Xu shook his head slightly, extremely dissatisfied with the answer that everyone knew by heart.
"This... Hey, in front of the brothers, who would write such a thing!" County Lieutenant Zhou Ying was the most straightforward. He patted the back of his head and replied with a smile.
"That's right, those rough guys, just let them know how to give orders, why bother with them!" Zhaowu Colonel Huang Qiao added that the new Shangguan has no airs, so he doesn't want to hide his true feelings. Before a battle, the general will usually say some words of encouragement to the brothers, but the brothers below just yell a few times just to save his face. As for what the big man on the general stage said specifically, the brothers listened. I don’t know, and I don’t have the heart to listen.
In fact, most of the generals had similar thoughts to Huang Qiao, and did not think that Li Xu's question was anything new. Some even felt alienated because of it, thinking that the general was clearly from the army, but he only did those things that only supervisors liked to do. , far from being as cordial as he was when he was patting his chest to ensure everyone's food and wages, what's more, he secretly pouted to his colleagues, indicating that everyone might have seen the wrong person just now, and in the end it would inevitably be an empty joy.
"I wonder where Lieutenant Zhou is from?" Ignoring everyone's little actions, Li Xu walked out from behind the handsome case, walked up to Zhou Ying, looked into his eyes and asked
"General Qi, the last general, humble position, humble position, I am from Yiyang!" Zhou Ying didn't know what General Li was asking about his hometown. He was stunned for a moment and replied awkwardly. He is still more than half a head shorter, and his shoulders are more than an inch narrower. Therefore, he can only look up when answering the other party's words, as if a disciple who made a mistake is facing a strict and rigid teacher.
"Is it safe around my hometown? Are there any bandits?" Li Xu unintentionally put pressure on the other party, turned his body slightly to the side, and asked kindly
"Thanks to you!" Zhou Ying clasped his fists habitually and said in an almost flattering tone, "It's quite peaceful and we didn't hit the gate of the county town!"
"I'm not the governor of Luoyang. Are there any gangsters in your house? Why do you want me to help you?" Li Xu smiled and shook his head, reaching out to press Zhou Ying's arm, "How long have you been out, are you worried about your family? Brothers, do you want to go back early?"
"Why are you not worried? I have brought out almost all the young men in Yiyang. Once the bandits come to kill me, the county magistrate will have no soldiers at all! My brothers ask me every day when I will go back, which makes my ears prickly! "Zhou Ying saw that Li Xu had always had a calm attitude and was in a calm mood, so she confided in a long voice.
"That's right!" Li Xu smiled, without making any comments, and slowly walked up to Zheng Bo, the governor of Xiangcheng County. Before he could ask, Zheng Bo responded proactively: "The situation in Xiangcheng is not as good as Yiyang's humble position.
There are many mountains over there, and bandits, big and small, are nesting next to each other, and they can't be wiped out. Last year, they almost reached the county seat. This year, hey, who knows, if it weren't for the emperor's orders, he would have been humbled long ago.
Take the brothers and kill them back!"
"That's about the same for me!" Huang Qiao took the initiative to answer when he saw Li Xu turning his gaze towards him.
"General, it's better not to ask questions. Everyone is in trouble!" Du Zigui, a lieutenant from Nanyang, said with red eyes that he was from Jutan. His hometown fell into the hands of thieves a month ago, and his parents, wife and children were missing without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
As a general of the county army, he was wasted in Xingyang City, with no way to return to the army to avenge his family.
"My situation is similar to yours!" Li Xu sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty appointed me to serve as the comfort ambassador of six counties. However, the largest county among them was occupied by the traitor Luo Yi, and two-thirds of it was occupied. I
I have never been able to get it back. Now that the main force of the Boling Army is in Xingyang, I wonder if Luo Yi will take the opportunity to cause trouble!"
"Well Luo Yi, didn't Luo Yi just repent to His Majesty?" Pei Renji became anxious after hearing this and asked loudly.
"He has indeed repented, but none of the soldiers under his command have been laid off." Li Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "With the taxes from various places in Youzhou, it is absolutely impossible to feed the entire Tiger and Ben cavalry. If there is no food and salary, who else will he rob if he doesn't rob me? Who will be more unlucky?
Dou Jiande, who lives in the south of my home, has been causing more and more trouble these days. Once the two of them join forces, I, the consolation ambassador of the six counties, will not even be able to return home!"
These words are all true, so they don't feel like hypocrisy when they are spoken. After hearing this, all the generals couldn't help but sigh along with the coach, saying that the world is difficult, and it is hard to say whether a general will be able to achieve success. Even his wife and children
I don’t know when I won’t be able to keep it anymore
"So, please ask your brothers, are you willing to fight Wagang with me as soon as possible and go home to protect your wife and children?" Li Xu suddenly straightened up and asked loudly.
In an instant, there was silence in the military tent. It was not for the imperial court, nor for fame, but just so that he could go back to protect his wife and children as soon as possible. Although the general's questions were rough, it felt like a bowl of wine was filling his ears when he heard them.
Burning in the internal organs, burning people's blood and making them full of pride
"Are you willing to work with me to level the tile hills and protect your wives and children?" Li Xu glanced at everyone's face and asked again
"Yes!" Zhou Ying shouted loudly, "I am willing to follow the great army and level the Wagang!"
"Leave the tile hills flat! Level the tile hills!" The generals shouted together, and the voice shook the tent roof made of felt. They have been confused for a long time. They don't know what they are doing. What else do they have to continue fighting for the imperial court like this?
Meaning? But today, someone told them in a special way that they were not fighting for the court, not for fame, but just to protect their families from harm in troubled times.
Troubled times are coming. If we cannot change this country, at least we must accumulate enough strength to protect our family on the day when the disaster strikes. Amid the shouts of everyone, Li Xu recalled his dream of the year.
He knows what he is doing and will never give up
