Chapter 418 Feeling like old friends at first sight (3)
In essence, it is difficult for Li Shan to trust others easily, which is closely related to his background and experience in his previous life.
Although he has changed a lot in this era, the people he is willing to trust are all covered by the big network he has compiled based on friendship and interests. The most typical ones are the village name of Zhujiagou and Su Dingfang and others.
.
In this era where not everything is focused on money, friendship is a very useful tool, but even so, Li Shan has not forgotten that interests are fundamental.
This is also the main reason why Li Shan hesitated for a long time after the victory in Shandong, and even refused to openly invest in the Qin Palace... Facing the Pei family in Hedong, he did not dare to put all his treasures on Li Shimin.
And what about Liu Shirang?
There is no sense of loyalty or benefit, and just based on shooting in front of the battle today, how can Li Shan be willing to give trust so easily?
"Today the Hou Shenshe of Yiyang County will definitely become famous all over the world in the future." Cui Xin did not say a few words, but said seriously: "Now that the Turks want to disrupt the recruitment, they need to work together..."
Li Shan's cold gaze towards Liu Shirang contained no other emotions, only suspicion.
Liu Shirang waited expressionlessly for Cui Xin to finish his words before speaking, "Three sons, two daughters and six grandchildren, all in Chang'an."
This is Liu Shirang's explanation to Li Shan from another angle. My descendants are all in Chang'an. If I defect to the Turks, aren't I afraid of losing my descendants?
Cui Xin nodded in agreement. There are three types of unfilial piety, the most important being not having children. This reason is sufficient.
And Li Shan chuckled softly, "Throughout the past and present, the integrity has never been greater than that of Su Wu."
Liu Shirang's expression changed. Before the Song Dynasty, civil and military officials were not clear-cut. Liu Shirang had been familiar with classics and history since he was a child, so he understood this immediately.
Su Wuchijie shepherded sheep for nineteen years, and his integrity was unparalleled. However, during these nineteen years, he was not a monk. He had a son with a Hun woman and later took him back to the Han Dynasty.
Cui Xin's expression also changed, and he looked at Li Shan with a strange look... In the allusion of Su Wu Muyang, there was a Han Dynasty general who persuaded surrender several times, Li Ling, the grandson of the flying general Li Guang.
And Li Ling is the ancestor of Li Shan's branch...although he claims to be.
Liu Shirang's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and continued: "I am fifty to six!"
Well, Su Wu was only forty years old when he went on a mission to the Huns and could still have children, but I, Liu Shirang, was almost sixty years old and really couldn't have children.
Li Shan reflexively said, "King Xiangyi...ahem..."
Well, wasn't the trigger for the deep feud between Liu Shirang and Li Shenfu last year because of a woman?
If you don't succeed and take a beautiful woman home, is it just a matter of not eating it?
Cui Xin also heard Li Shan talk about this matter and was speechless for a while. Can such a thing be used as an excuse?
After a moment of silence, Cui Xin frowned and said, "You are too suspicious and cannot be trusted!"
Unentrustable?
He was a little confused at first, but then Li Shan understood that this was referring to Miss Cui!
Li Shan was also speechless. Are we talking about business?
Smiling helplessly, Li Shan looked at Cui Xin and said, "Cui Sheren, in the cold winter months, the enemy has suddenly appeared. Now that we are in danger, I have to be cautious."
"Shooting in front of the formation..."
"What does that prove?" Li Shan sneered twice, "The Marquis of Yiyang County wouldn't want to say that...it was the King of Xiangyi and the Duke of Jiangxia County who secretly accused the Turks, right?"
Liu Shirang's lips moved, he really thought so.
"Cui Sheren was born in the Cui family of Qinghe. Although he has no family background, he is not an insignificant pawn." Li Shan shook his head and said: "What's more, Brother Daoxuan has settled in Yanmen and will not let anyone out."
"How did the Turks find out about such secrets?"
"The Marquis of Yiyang County wants to prove his innocence, but some words are useless. Shooting in front of the battle is just a trivial matter."
Li Shan stood up slowly and said sincerely: "I also hope that Mr. Liu can prove his innocence. Although he is often ostracized, although he has many powerful enemies, and although he may be questioned in court, Mr. Liu can uphold his integrity..."
Looking at Liu Shirang's desolate figure as he left, Cui Xin felt a little helpless. Before he came, Liu Shirang told him... The Duke of Guantao County might not be willing to believe it.
Cui Xin also heard that he was confident in persuading Li Shan... but Liu Shirang knew in his heart that Li Gaoqian was defeated that day and Li Shenfu forced him. Li Shan had nothing to do for a while. But when Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, arrived in Daizhou, Li Shan immediately took power and seized power.
He was completely arrogant. This guy was young but he was a very thoughtful person. How could he trust himself so easily?
Looking back, he saw Li Shan sitting back, his face full of tangles. Cui Xin snorted angrily, "It's hard to recruit him, when will he return?"
Li Shan was silent for a long time, "Having been planning for half a year and putting in all the effort, could it be that all the efforts were wasted at the last moment?"
Cui Xin couldn't help but scolded: "If Yugu comes to kill, what can I do?!"
Faced with this problem, Li Shan was speechless...and he could also hear what Cui Xin meant. It doesn't matter to me whether you die or not, but if you die, what will happen to my daughter?!
At this time, rapid footsteps sounded outside, and a panting Zhao Da appeared at the door, "Lang Jun, something happened outside the city."
"Why are you so anxious?" Li Shan calmed down instead. After all, the scouts just reported that there were no traces of the enemy, and to the west of Yanmen Pass, the most threatening person to him was Yu Gushe... Li Shan felt that he had fallen into Ashina Sheer's hands.
, should be able to save lives.
Cui Xin became anxious instead, "What happened?"
Although Zhao Da has a foreign surname, he is also a villager in Zhujiagou. He was the first bodyguard to follow Li Shan. He quickly replied: "The Turks are provoking outside the camp and a fight is about to begin."
"Did you use weapons?"
"That's not true, it's just a wrestling match."
Li Shan suddenly asked: "Winning or losing?"
Zhao Dahan laughed twice and said, "The Marquis of Linji County came out... But the Turks lost eight games in a row. They couldn't lose face, and the whole camp made a noise..."
Li Shan couldn't help but laugh. The competition in the army was nothing more than strength in cavalry and shooting. The Turks had already suffered a big loss at Liu Shirang, but now they ran into Kan Leng again.
After Kan Leng went to Yanmen, Su Dingfang once mentioned in a letter that Kan Leng was not good at riding and shooting, but in terms of strength, he was slightly better than him and he was really capable of lifting a cauldron.
After slowly walking out of the city gate, Li Shan glanced at the young Turkic man who was fighting with Kan Leng in the field, and asked with a smile: "What game is it now?"
Yuan Junzhang looked at Yu Sheshe, coughed twice and said, "Eleven games."
"Tsk, tsk." Li Shan was about to say a few words for the occasion, when he suddenly caught sight of the face of the Turkic young man in the venue, and couldn't help but laugh: "You two are a bit unkind!"
Others don't know, but Yuan Junzhang definitely knows, and Yu Sheshe witnessed the power of Kan Leng with his own eyes outside Yanmen Pass two months ago.
Yuan Junzhang remained silent, while Yu Sheshe's face was serious, but his lips were slightly parted, "He considers himself to be extremely brave and insists on playing..."
Kan Leng won ten games in a row, and the Turks were greatly frustrated, and the association couldn't help but kill him personally... Looking at this, it seems that Kan Leng knew the opponent's identity, so the situation was in a stalemate.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Shan arriving. Kan Leng exerted force on his hands, forcing the association to retreat step by step, and he was about to lose.
"Okay." Li Shan raised his voice and said, "I am not strong enough to fight on the battlefield."
Kan Leng exerted force on his arms, and the two of them separated. Yu Shesu's face was flushed, his breathing was uneven, and his eyes were fierce. Seeing this, he wanted to pounce on him but was afraid that he would not be able to beat him.
Yu Sheshe sighed, "Thank you very much, Mr. Li Langjun."
Li Shan said with a smile: "You're welcome, the elder can just call me Huairen."
Yu Sheshe was stunned for a moment, this guy seemed a bit familiar.
"Huairen..."
"One step at a time..." Li Shan climbed up along the pole, "I don't know what to call it?"
Yuan Junzhang on the side was speechless, this is a bit too much... Do you really want to be brothers with the descendants of the Ashina royal family?
