Chapter 129: Promotion and Demotion (4)

"This battle of Longyou has made you a lot more mature."

Zhao Xun looked at Li Xun carefully, he became thinner and darker, the flirtatious smile that he often wore on his face had disappeared, but he had perseverance, and the cynical temperament on his body had also faded a lot, sitting there, his body was straight, faintly revealing a trace of stability, Li Xun's changes made Zhao Xun nod secretly in his heart, quite happy.

Li Xun smiled: "Cousin, war is cruel, and when you see too much life and death, there will always be some changes in your heart." ”

Zhao Xun nodded: "War is indeed the most tempering person, and I feel a lot from you." ”

Li Xun smiled and didn't speak, this battle of Longyou is much more cruel than the last battle of Jiangnan, but the opponent of this war is no longer his own people, but a foreigner, looking at the fresh life, for the sense of mission and glory in his heart as a Han people, no longer considering personal interests and gains and losses, and forgetting his life to fight to the death with the enemy of the foreign race, Li Xun was indeed shocked, and from this shock, he slowly became mature.

"General Li, I heard that in this battle of Longyou, there was a chance to capture Tubo Zampu alive, why did he fall short in the end?"

Wang Congben, the head of the household branch, asked out loud.

Li Xun pondered for a moment and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told the whole story.

After listening to Li Xun's explanation, Zhao Xun was silent, and Qian Mingdu, the director of Tuntian of the Ministry of Industry, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said with great dissatisfaction: "It's just unreasonable, such a great opportunity, Li Zhong is easy to miss, if he can capture Tubo Zampu alive, he will definitely be able to get huge benefits from it." ”

Li Xun glanced at him, frowned slightly, and was a little unhappy in his heart, although he had no communication with Li Zhong, and he was not very clear about his personality, but Li Zhong was able to get the awe and obedience of both the enemy and his own people, which was extremely extraordinary, Qian Mingdu was a petty official of the sixth grade, sitting firmly in the rear, not knowing the situation of the war ahead, and daring to speak out about it, and even calling Li Zhong's name, I have to say that this person is a little arrogant and ignorant.

"What gain can a defeated man have? If you really capture Tubo Zampu, I am afraid that Tubo will immediately elect a new Zampu to succeed him, so that Tubo will only hate me more Dajin and try to take revenge. On the contrary, after this fiasco, Tubo Zampu was discredited, and there was no prestige at all, and the return of a weak Zampu to Tubo would only intensify the political struggle between the various factions in Tubo, and perhaps it would be able to cause civil strife and kill each other. ”

A middle-aged man sitting opposite, not long after Qian Mingdu's words fell, he immediately retorted, and in the end, there was already a look of admiration on his face, this person is called Li Zhongquan, he is the military department of Jiaku Lingshi, and he is the lowest official among the three people, and he is the petty official of the seventh grade.

Listening to Li Zhongquan's words, Li Xun's whole body was shocked, his eyes looked at him tightly, this person is about forty years old, thin, gloomy, the clothes on his body are vertical and horizontal, the whole person looks a little sloppy, from the time he came in to the present, he has been drinking stuffy wine, Li Xun originally had a bad impression of him, but after hearing what he said just now, he suddenly had a great change in his opinion of this person, and secretly thought in his heart: People can't look good, the ancient saying doesn't deceive me.

Qian Mingdu was refuted by Li Zhongquan, but he was not angry, but fell into contemplation, Li Xun nodded secretly, it seems that some of these people his cousin has met may not have a very good temper, but they are also upright.

The banquet did not last long, half an hour later, everyone said goodbye and left, before leaving, Zhao Xun instructed Li Xun to come to him early tomorrow and enter the palace to visit Li Yi together.

There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, Li Xun went to the palace of the king of Qi, and Zhao Xun entered the palace to visit Li Yi, after the end, Li Xun originally wanted to see Zhao Zhi, but waited for more than an hour, but did not see it, and finally under the reminder of Xiao Lezi, he had to leave helplessly.
