For a moment, the couple fell into silence at the same time. There was only the flame of incense candles in the whole room, and the spring breeze that came in through the curtain kept jumping. Xuzi raised his eyes and looked at Qi'er, and found that Qi'er
Er's watery eyes were looking at him reluctantly. Both of them wanted to say a few words to comfort each other, smiled, and stopped at the same time.
"What do you want to say?" Li Xu stretched out his hand to tidy up a strand of broken hair on Qier's forehead and asked with a smile.
"Langjun should speak first!" Qier took Li Xu's hand again, put her little hand firmly in the other's palm, and responded gently, "This time I went out to the fortress, all the tribes of the Lin tribe actually elected me as their great khan.
!" Li Xu gently shook his hand and said while feeling the almost melting tenderness deep in his palm.
"That's exactly what I want to say!" A gorgeous spring flower bloomed on Qier's face, "Can the promises of those tribes be taken seriously?"
"It really depends on our strength. On the grassland, the strong has always been king!" Li Xu nodded, and then sighed softly, "Actually, we in the Central Plains are similar. We can't stand firm without strength. It's just the shepherd's thinking.
It’s simpler and easier to deal with!”
"Does the gentleman intend to exercise the power of the Great Khan in the future?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Only in front of his wife, Li Xu didn't have to hide the confusion in his heart. "The Central Plains is so chaotic. If we really want to raise an army to fight for the world, it doesn't matter whether we can succeed or not. I don't know how many heroes will die in the battle. How many heroes will die in the battle?"
Displacement of people will only benefit those foreign races in the end, giving them another opportunity to wreak havoc in the Central Plains. Moreover, when I think of drawing swords against your father, brother Hongji, Maogong, and Shubao, my heart cannot calm down.
If a general cannot keep his mind calm before the battle, even if he has 10% of his abilities, he may not be able to perform even 10% of them when he is in battle!"
"If we avoid the outside of the Great Wall, it will save a lot of trouble, but it will disappoint a lot of people. When the foundation is first built, support from the Central Plains is also indispensable!" Li Xu thought for a while and continued his analysis, "I haven't told anyone the details yet.
I always want to wait until the current battle is over and deal with it step by step. If Tang Gong is willing to retain the new policy I implemented in the six counties, I would rather hand over the six counties to him completely."
"If grandpa and second brother hear these words, they will be so happy that they can't even sleep! But the eldest brother will feel disappointed. He came here this time and only wanted you to help him!" Zhen'er sighed.
tone, whispered comment
Zhen'er knew in her heart that with the power accumulated among the people of the six counties in recent years, her husband might not be able to compete with her father. No matter who loses or wins in the future, she would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the world. But she heard that her husband really decided to put the six counties together.
The county was handed over to the Li family in Hedong, and she felt sad that because of her husband's ability and personality, there should have been a better ending for him. He was a proud eagle, only suitable for flying in the sky rather than being locked in a cage and relying on his master.
Spend your life with rewards and alms
Hearing the legend that the tribes outside the Great Wall recommended Li Xu as the Great Khan, Qi'er suddenly saw a relatively simple choice. Compared with intervening in the melee in the Central Plains, the power required to conquer the fragmented tribes on the grassland would definitely be smaller in the eyes of many heroes in the world.
There are only nine tripods, and they may not be able to see the picturesque mountains and rivers outside the Great Wall. More importantly, after walking outside the Great Wall, the husband can avoid the big whirlpool of the Li family in Hedong and never have to get involved in the big family.
Even in the struggle, you will never have to rely on the success or failure of others to determine your own future and destiny.
It’s just that this road will be very difficult, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss of eternal destruction. Although the herdsmen publicly recommended their husbands as the Great Khan, they do not have strong strength to back them up. They can depose their husbands at any time. Moreover, other tribes on the grassland
, they may not be able to accept a force from the Central Plains. The Khitans, Mohe people, and Shiwei people must regard this group of foreign forces as a threat to themselves and the Turks, and they will not tolerate a person who has twice hindered their southward movement.
The enemy shows up at your door
"I can't help your elder brother!" Li Xu shook his head, directly denying the idea that Qi'er also didn't want to happen. "Brother Jiancheng is kind-hearted, so he can naturally find a suitable arm for him. With your second brother, I may not be able to get along with him either."
If you rely too much on power and tactics, your achievements may not be small. But if a person plots against his own parents and brothers, it is difficult to say that he will not suffer retribution in the future. Besides, Your Majesty is kind to me. When the world is in chaos, I have already failed if I do not fight for him.
If he leads troops to start a war with the Sui Dynasty again, I will feel even more uneasy. I always feel that when people do things, God is watching. This is what the shepherd said every day, the immortal God does not speak, but is always watching your actions!"
"Then how can you safely hand over the six counties to my father and brother?! Aren't they all not your ideal choice?" Zhen'er frowned and asked.
Li Xu's comments about her elder brother and younger brother made her feel a little confused, although she knew that her husband was telling the truth.
"So I said I didn't think it through clearly!" Xuzi smiled and shook his head, "We'll wait until the current battle is over. If we can't defeat the Turks, no matter how many ideas we have, they will be in vain. The German side, Zhang Jiang, Daniel and the others will
If they want to become a general, I wonder if the King of Tang can provide a suitable position for them?!"
When talking about the future of his generals and the six counties, Li Xu's brows began to frown in the middle again. He was easy-going, so his staff and generals did not pay much attention to etiquette. This straightforward character was regarded as a virtue in the six counties of Boling.
If you go to someone else's place, you may not be able to eat well. There is also the issue of the continuation of the New Deal. The people of the six counties of Boling can live and work in peace and contentment in troubled times, completely relying on the implementation of the New Deal. What if the people who take over the six counties in the future are unwilling to continue to implement the New Deal? What if they take over the six counties?
What should you do if you clearly agree to continue the New Deal, but then suddenly go back on your word? Without the support of the Boling Army, what can you do to bargain with the other party?
One after another, endless things made him feel like a traveler on the road in the early morning. He could only see the morning star in the sky, and the darkness around him did not know how long it would last.
"I shouldn't have said this and made my husband troubled!" Seeing Li Xu's brows getting tighter, Qier sighed and said quietly
"Things that we have to face sooner or later will be annoying in the morning and not in the evening!" Li Xu shook his head gently and temporarily put the chaotic thoughts behind his mind. "But today let's eat something first. After eating and sleeping enough, we can
Have the strength to face those things!”
"After talking a lot with Mr. Lang, I'm really a little hungry!" Qier smiled, got up and went to have a supper. No matter how many troubles we face, life still has to go on. The only thing that can comfort us is
, no matter how much wind and rain comes, the shoulders of the two people are always close to each other
In the wind and rain, geese flying together are always easier than flying alone.
Ginseng soup and refreshments had already been arranged by Cui'er. The little girl didn't dare to eavesdrop on Li Xu and Zhen'er's conversation, so she kept hiding outside waiting for orders. At this time, she was summoned by the hostess, and she immediately brought the food in quickly.
"Have Cui'er eaten? You might as well sit down and have something together!" According to the tradition of the Li family in Shanggu, servants can dine at the same table as their masters. Li Xu has been a general for so long and still maintains the habits of his hometown. Jian Cui
The son has been busy serving, smiling and inviting
"Where are the seats for slaves in front of the master and his wife!" After hearing Li Xu's words, Cui'er blushed and refused with a voice as loud as a gnat.
This was not the first time she had seen her master's deviant behavior, so she would not think about it wrongly. But if she sat next to the general and raised eyebrows with him... Cui'er knew that she was blushing.
If a crab as red as a cooked crab is left in someone else's house, sooner or later the bride's maid will be taken over by her uncle. But this is the general's house, and many things are different from other people's houses!
Thinking of this, Cui'er's eyes couldn't help but dim. She lowered her head and left with the excuse of adding new water.
"What's wrong, little girl? You feel weird!" Director Li Xu looked at Cui'er's slowly leaving figure, frowned and asked in surprise.
"She's getting older!" Zhen'er glanced at her husband with an annoyed look, pursed her lips and said with a smile. As a friend who has been playing with her since childhood, how could she not know the thoughts of her own girl, who was used to Li Xu's Cui'er?
, I can't let go of other heroes anymore, but there is only one Xuzi in the world, how can Zhen'er find a second hero like Li Xu for the little girl?
Zhen'er asked herself if she was a jealous woman. Past observations told her that the greater the hero, the fewer beauties around him who looked like her father. In addition to Mrs. Dou, there were at least thirty people with the same status as her mother.
The concubine's experience of serving in Duke Tang's mansion also made her understand early on that a woman's method of ensuring her own status is that instead of letting her husband's favor be divided by other women, it is better to introduce sisters to him using the lingo of women's circles.
He said, this trick is called solid petting
But the example of Tang Gongfu does not apply to her husband. Qier has hinted to Li Xu more than once that he can accept other women and that she will not be a jealous woman. But since Erya left, she has not seen her husband treat any woman.
Even though the legendary princess was about to come to her door, her husband did not send troops to meet her at the bank of the Yellow River. She was very grateful to her husband for doting on her. The woman's little thoughts kept telling her that she should take the initiative to do something to repay her husband.
of affection
Therefore, she hopes that her husband can understand the admiration in Cui Er's eyes. Even if she is a little uncomfortable with it, he will not target Cui Er at every turn like he did with Er Ya. But no matter how many times he hints, Xu Zi can only point at his chest.
