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 look of this guy in his mind, Xiao Han couldn't hold back his laughter, but it was still funny. Looking back on history, it seems that this guy really committed Tai Sui's death and was captured several times in succession. But the important thing is that he returns safely every time! This can't all depend on luck. Xiao Han always felt that this silly-looking guy definitely had his own unique way of saving his life.
Li Shimin was also distressed at this time, knocked his head, and sighed deeply.
There are not many people under his command, so he has lost another general. It really made him feel distressed, and his resentment towards Pei Ji became even deeper.
He was speechless for a moment, and while the others hadn't come back 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?"
"Persuade to surrender? Why should we?" Li Shimin replied angrily to Xiao Han. In his opinion, 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 several others surrendered on the battlefield, but the reason was not mentioned at all. Now that I 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 so 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 more 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 it? 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 realized something was wrong, and he rubbed his head in embarrassment. As for Little Plum, he fell to the ground laughing long ago and almost stuffed his head into the fire...
While he was talking, Li Shimin's entourage came back.
The forest is safe and there is even a crystal clear stream. While filling the water, they also caught two squirrels in the river, so they could make a bowl of broth when they came back. Continuously traveling takes a lot of toll on the body, and you can’t stand it if you only eat dry food!
The water in the hanging pot was boiling. 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 shared a portion. bowl.
A bowl of meat porridge, not much bigger than a fist, couldn't fill their stomachs at all. Fortunately, they all brought dry food, that is, dry biscuits. I put it on the fire and heated it up. I swallowed it like a jujube. It didn't taste very good, but I was so hungry that I didn't care too much.
After eating, we will hit the road immediately. Although Xiao Han knew that it was not appropriate to exercise strenuously just after a meal, no one would listen to him, so he could only curse his mother while gritting his teeth and hurrying on.
That night, the group arrived at Tongguan. After entering the city, Li Shimin did not disclose his identity. He just checked into the inn in a low-key manner in the name of a messenger, and set out again before dawn the next day.
After leaving Tongguan and heading east, 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 silt from the Loess Plateau and rolls towards it. East.
The Tang Dynasty was probably the last dynasty fed 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, he asked Li Shimin, but Xiao Lizi looked disgusted: How good is it to ride a horse? By boat? Wouldn't it mean that he would drown if he flipped it over?
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 we didn’t see 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 also wants to see the white sails on 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 It's over when Xiao Han's mouth is tied up.
