Although Li Shushi never thought that the old king in front of him was really a weak character who could be bullied by anyone, when the other party really showed his fangs, he still felt that his brain was a little unable to turn around.
This can only be said that the old king's previous performance was too wonderful, which made Li Shushi think that although the old king's body had fallen into an aging state that was about to die, his wisdom or experience should not be underestimated. But who would have thought of this?
The old man whom he thought was dying was still able to burst out with such powerful murderous aura and intention.
Li Shushi could only secretly be wary of such a result, and just take it as a lesson.
Of course, to say that he was intimidated by the aura emanating from the old king was definitely acting. After all, Li Shushi was also a figure who had killed people on the battlefield, and he often received murderous aura training from Dian Wei and Lu Bu.
That is, when the assassin suddenly appears, he will not be frightened by the enemy's unrelenting killing intent. Otherwise, no matter how careful the guards are, there will eventually be loopholes.
So although Li Shushi was surprised, he was just surprised by his own judgment of the old king's body.
The old king obviously did not expect that his momentum could overwhelm Li Shushi. After all, Li Shushi had a group of powerful subordinates around him that he might not have been able to compare with when he was young. If he really took action, the old king would probably be killed instantly.
Therefore, the old king's aura suddenly disappeared, and his face returned to the kind smile that Li Shushi had always seen, as if nothing had happened before, which made the remaining stunned expression on Li Shushi's face seem a bit nondescript.
"He is indeed a famous general of the Han Dynasty who defeated Shanyu Helian of Xianbei. His courage and courage were far beyond the reach of Pi Mi back then."
The atmosphere became normal again because of the old king's relaxation, but Li Shushi was still full of questions.
"What do you mean by His Majesty the King? We learned about the difficulties your country is experiencing from His Highness Lemi and came to this country at the invitation of His Highness Lemi. So, did His Highness the King misunderstand something?"
.”
Well, even though I haven't invested many skill points now, I still have the ability to tell lies with open eyes. Especially when you don't know what the old king on the other side thinks, it may be a good choice to pretend to be confused.
"Hahahaha!" Sure enough, the old king couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Shushi's words.
"It's no wonder that General Li can become one of the people who stand at the pinnacle of the Han Dynasty's power at such a young age. But since I already know General Li's record clearly, I naturally also know very well where Li Shushi is stationed on weekdays. In addition, General Li
Although the Mr. Ban Fu next to me has never met him, his reputation has been heard in Wusun Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away from Dunhuang. Besides, General Li has not met my restless second son.
Do you have a daughter? Although I don’t know if she can prescribe it for you.
What kind of conditions are given, but what kind of thoughts she has in her heart, as a father, I can still guess a little bit. Who calls her my daughter? Her face is very similar to her mother, but her temper is the same as when she was young.
I'm very similar - I have a longing for the sky but I'm worried that my abilities can't satisfy my desires. I either slowly sink or become unscrupulous between cowardice and extreme desire. I'm lucky, because I
I have a good big brother, but she is not as lucky as me."
"Then are you going to stop her?"
It seems that the old king is not an old fool. Although he looks half-dead, in fact he still watches every move that happens in Chigu City with calm eyes, and uses the knowledge he has accumulated over ten or even decades to
Experience slowly peels everything off and finally leads to the correct answer.
All of this is going on in secret, so even if all the forces in Chigu City notice it, they may not completely care. After all, the old king is already terminally ill. Instead of considering his current attitude, it is better to think more about what happened after his death.
really.
"No, on the contrary, I don't intend to stop it, because this is the first time that my daughter is willing to take action for her ideals, even if the means are naive or even stupid, but this is her own choice. I
At most, this father watched silently and sent his most sincere blessings. The only pity is that I am destined not to see the ending of the story."
"It seems that you have no intention of participating in the struggles of your children, your wife, and your brothers."
"Is General Li surprised? Although it may seem ridiculous to you to cause so much trouble when the enemy is in the face, but since my body is no longer strong enough to suppress their overflowing ambitions, it is better to let them enjoy themselves.
Play. The old alpha wolf will eventually give up the throne to the young and powerful new alpha wolf. Only by experiencing the battle to challenge the throne can the new alpha wolf mature."
"Then you are not afraid that the entire Wusun country will be overthrown by the Xianbei people?"
"I was indeed a little worried at first, but with a famous general like General Li sitting in charge, why should I worry?"
"The trust of His Highness the King puts Xue to shame. You are not afraid that an outsider like me will let down Your Highness's trust. You must know that I almost retreated several times on the way, because from the situation I had at the time, it seemed that the chances of winning this battle were not good.
Considered high.”
"So now, how does General Li feel after arriving at Chigu City?"
"If the chaos here is not resolved quickly, maybe the odds of winning will have to be lowered a bit."
"It seems that the old man and General Li have similar views on heroes. This time the old man wants to see General Li for this reason."
If the old king's physical power surprised Li Shushi, then the old king's wisdom was unexpected by Li Shushi and others. They also made many assumptions, but the old king's previous actions were somewhat beyond Li Shushi's expectations.
Unexpectedly, this is also the reason why Li Shushi seemed a little passive for a while.
After all, he is not a genius like Jia Xu who can easily surpass most people in terms of intelligence, so he relies more on the plans discussed with Jia Xu and others to deal with some problems, but for the parts that exceed the plans, he
The reaction was much different.
Well, now is not the time for self-examination.
"Has His Royal Highness the King already made a decision? If so, the Institute will be more happy that Wusun can have a stable future. Of course, from the perspective of the individual representative of the Institute, I also hope that His Highness the King can reveal some information, so that the Institute can
With preparation, at least there will be no special circumstances that may cause misunderstandings and affect the relationship between the two countries."
"Is General Li worried about this? Then General Li is overly worried. You don't have to be like this at all. With the strength of the Han Dynasty, as long as General Li waits for the winner to appear, he can naturally maintain a good relationship with Wusun. But if Li
If the general feels uneasy, he can naturally play the game on his own, but the risks involved naturally need to be considered."
"What about you, Your Majesty the King? After all, you are the king of Wusun, and you should also know your influence on many things."
"It seems that although General Li has had many interactions with the grassland people, he still doesn't know much about us."
The old king burst into laughter suddenly, and the feeling of being stared at by an eagle returned to Li Shushi, making it difficult for Li Shushi to know whether the other party was laughing at his ignorance or sincerely feeling for some of his own characteristics.
pride.
Or maybe both?
"Everyone says that Di Mi is just like me when I was young. He is energetic and courageous, and more importantly, he has lofty ideals like an eagle in his heart. Wusun Kingdom will definitely be carried forward in his hands, but he is treating us
He was a little too radical on the issue of important allies, which cost him the support of many people. How do you feel about General Li's words?"
"After listening to His Highness the King's story just now, Xue suddenly felt that His Highness the Prince is more like the elder brother Your Highness the King said than His Highness the King. I wonder if my feeling is the same as His Highness the King's view?"
"General Li's vision is indeed sharp. Yes, Di Mi is actually more like my eldest brother who died young than me. I do not deny that my eldest brother's ability is definitely better than mine. He may be able to expand territory and expand territory better than me.
A coward is much stronger. But..."
When the old King Pimi said this, an unhealthy blush suddenly flashed across his face, and his breath became a little disordered.
"Your Majesty, please don't be so excited. It's not good for your health."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm like best. I can't die yet. The boss is a good general, but he is too sharp, and the situation Wusun is facing now is no longer what it was before. Xianbei, Guishang
Man, although I originally thought that the Han Dynasty had become chaotic, so I thought that our power could continue to extend to the east, but now that I have seen General Li, I understand that Wusun’s eastward expansion path has also been completed.
Blocked. Faced with such an environment, it is definitely not something that can be solved by rushing. Even if you are not careful, you may be in danger of capsizing. Therefore, if Di Mi does not temper his temper, it will be a disaster for Wusun. Not to mention
It is said that he believes in the idea that the strong is supreme, and his will is not as strong as he thought. I am afraid that he will make some wrong judgment after seeing the power of the Xianbei people or the Han people or underestimating their strength."
"I originally liked the third child more. Not because he is the youngest, but because he is more cautious and knows how to advance and retreat than the eldest brother. But compared to his eldest brother, he is at the other extreme - rather than solving everything with his own strength, he
He prefers to use the power of others, once or twice, but if the times are too many, he is afraid that by the time he has to rely on himself, he will have already lost himself."
"So, if General Li wants to have fun with these young men, then he might as well let it go. I, an old guy, will not stop him. If one of them has a big future, he will naturally stand out under General Li's training.
If they really have no future, I would prefer the Han people to the Xianbei and Kushan people, because if you want to manage a place so far away from your capital, Luoyang, you need us locals very much."
"Isn't His Highness the King afraid that I will destroy the best talent of your Wusun royal family before he grows up?"
Li Shushi wanted to act more sinister, but looking at the old king's face, he seemed to have failed.
"You are such a big person, and your ambitions are not small. If you don't have the ability and preparation to match your ambition, it would be better to just die and not embarrass the Wusun royal family."
"And General Li thinks that we, the people of the grassland, have come from generation to generation. People who have not experienced a snowstorm are definitely not qualified to call themselves outstanding children of the grassland!"
PS: Today is the day when Guangming Daily publishes the article "Practice is the Only Criterion for Testing Truth."
PS2: Today is the day that missionary Matteo Ricci passed away. Although the most fundamental purpose of missionaries is to expand territories for the so-called "God", it is undeniable that he did contribute to the exchange between the East and the West.
, especially geometry and geography.
As for his missionary achievements... this can only be ignored, because he obviously underestimated the influence of local religion, especially in the absence of external force from guns and artillery.
PS3: Today is the day when Constantinople, the ancient capital of thousands of years, was designated as the capital of the Roman Empire. Although at that time, it was more appropriate to call it the capital than the capital...
