Chapter 585: A River of Blood

"I'm sorry, Haidilao Yue, I touched three of them!" Li Ze smiled and put the cards in his hand in front of his own cards, and Zhang Zhongwen, who was opposite, looked a little bitter and handed the last chip in front of him to Li Ze.

"How can you be with so many Zhang?" Looking at the long row of cards in front of Li Ze, Zhang Zhongwen was a little suspicious.

"Are you suspecting me of cheating?" Li Ze smiled and spread all the cards on the table, Zhang Zhongwen looked at it for a long time, sighed, and fell down the cards in front of him.

The hand of cards he listened to in front of him was all the same, but it was a pity that the cards he wanted to draw were deducted by Gao Lei of the previous family and Wang Duo of the next family.

"No fight, no fight." Zhang Zhongwen pushed the cards in front of him to the middle of the table, shook his head and sighed. "If I keep fighting, I'm going to lose nothing."

Li Ze laughed and stood up.

Seeing this scene, Gao Lei and Wang Duo also stood up with a smile, Gao Lei said: "Brother Zhang is not interested, you might as well go and talk to Li Xiang about business, but we are prosperous, so let's invite the king of the county and Xia Shangshu to make a game!" ”

"No, no, no, let's ask Mr. Gongsun to make a corner, I don't dare to play cards with Xia Shangshu again, I lost badly last time." Wang Duo waved his hand again and again: "Playing this card, you must not play with people who are good at numbers, Xia Shangshu is one of them, you Gao Lei has a lot of money, I am a small family." ”

Gongsun Changming stood up with a smile: "In that case, I'll play a few games with you, is the king of the county interested?" ”

"After watching it for a long time, my hands have been itchy for a long time." Li Anguo rubbed his hands, "Today, I will inevitably leave no piece of armor for my brother." ”

Mahjong, is Li Ze in order to live in the idle Lao Tzu Li Anguo and Wang Duo, Gao Lei and other people to get out of the fun, for this reason, Li Ze is also busy to take time, wrote a booklet, which records a variety of ways to play, since this thing came out, several old comrades are tired of it, originally Li Ze just asked the craftsman to make a wooden mahjong tile for them, but Gao Lei became obsessed with this thing, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, let the craftsman carefully polish two pairs of ivory mahjong for him. One of them was dedicated to Li Ze.

After Zhang Zhongwen arrived in Wuyi, he did not see Li Ze immediately, but Wang Duo Gao Lei and Li Anguo received him very warmly, and while drinking and having fun every day, he also taught Zhang Zhongwen to play mahjong.

The four of them started the war again, but Li Ze and Zhang Zhongwen changed a quiet room, this room was covered with fire dragons on the ground, thick carpets were spread on the ground, and a low table was placed in the center of the room, Xia He knelt on one side and began to make tea for the two.

"I heard the king of the county say that Li Xiang made this Lao Shizi's mahjong just out of filial piety, and he rarely played, Zhang originally thought that he could win Li Xiang's silver, but he didn't expect Li Xiang's mahjong to play so well!" Zhang Zhongwen held the teacup, first nodded to Xia He to express his gratitude, and then turned to Li Zedao.

Li Ze said with a smile: "Zhang Tingshi forgot, the rules of this mahjong were originally formulated by me. Zhang Tingshi is a very fast learner, before I came, I saw Gao Lei and a few of them, and they were all blue from losing. ”

"Didn't you lose to Lee Xiang in the end?"

Li Ze snorted a haha: "Today we played with a river of blood." Zhang Thorn history of a mind to do a big name this is good, but also to judge the situation, otherwise empty self-listening cards but can not and cards, what is the use, even if I only do a small fart, but as long as the connection continues to and cards, it will accumulate small wins for big wins. Zhang Thorn History, the blood flows into a river can have a characteristic, that is, do not look at who and early, to see who and more, and to play to the last card, each deck of cards can be and countless cards, so ah, until the last one, no one can tell the winner clearly! ”

Zhang Zhongwen was silent for a long time, and arched his hand: "I have been taught." ”

Li Ze smiled and picked up the teacup, took a few sips, and said, "Your life is not easy this year, right?" ”

"How can it be better?" Zhang Zhongwen shook his head and said: "Actually, it has not been very good, but this year is especially victorious, some time ago Deng Jingwen was defeated in Pingzhou, we have prepared for the worst, but Li Xiang always has unexpected moves, and he actually wants to negotiate peace at this time, which makes us surprised, but also suspicious, I don't know what Li Xiang is thinking?" To be honest, over the years, we have eaten too much of your losses, and we are all afraid. ”

"This time, I really don't have any other ideas!" Li Ze coughed lightly and said: "I'm a person, I've always been unprofitable, Zhang Tingshi, let's say something that doesn't like it, now you really don't have any threat to me, and after Deng Jingshan was defeated by me, you have no strength to threaten me." If you can't threaten me, why am I holding you back? Where do you have what? Fighting with you, I am a blood loss! ”

Zhang Zhongwen's face turned red, and he took a few breaths, but finally forced himself down.

"The Northeast is a vast land, Li Xiang hasn't been anywhere, maybe it's not clear, right?" Zhang Zhongwen said.

"I believe in the vastness of the land, but now, where is the barrenness, what is the use of my hard work?" Li Ze spread his hands: "I don't have that much population to move to now, besides, there is a complex ethnic composition there, wild people, and miscellaneous hus are everywhere, and it is more difficult to manage, since there is Zhang Dashuai where he worked hard to suppress bandits and hard construction, I might as well wait for a few years, and then make plans after there is some weather, wouldn't it be better?" Li Zezheng said.

Zhang Zhongwen looked at Li Ze opposite him with a strange expression, and said after a while: "It's the first time I've seen someone who can say such a shameless thing so righteously. ”

Li Zeyi smiled and said: "I've always been thick-skinned, and I really think so." Zhang Tingshi, in fact, this is also relative, if you build it well and become powerful, in turn destroy me, rob my territory, and my achievements, I am also convinced. ”

"Are you so confident you can beat us?" Zhang Zhongwen sighed: "As long as we are given time to develop, it is not yet known who will kill the deer in the future?" ”

"Let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see!" Li Zedao: "My self-confidence has always been extremely strong, I can beat you when you are the strongest, and naturally I am not afraid that you will bite me back in the future." Now you are quite low on the list of my enemies. ”

Zhang Zhongwen was really angry this time.

Li Ze changed his words, and then said: "Actually, from another level, I still admire you two brothers, no matter what, you were also the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, more than ten years of hard fighting on the border, defeated the Khitans, I admit this credit, and now you are painstakingly managing the Northeast land, if in a few years, you can assimilate them, let them recognize the culture of our Tang Dynasty, let them become Tang people, maybe when the time comes, we don't need to meet each other, There are other ways to resolve our differences! ”

Zhang Zhongwen looked at Li Ze in a daze.

"On the other hand, you are also expanding the territory for Datang, which is why I am willing to let you go for the time being, reach a reconciliation with you, and am willing to give you some support." Li Ze is authentic.

"We don't have a Tang flag now!" Zhang Zhongwen said.

"But you speak Tang dialect and write Tang Chinese." Li Zeyi smiled and said: "Your living habits, your customs and beliefs, are still Tang people, where you are, you will unconsciously pass these on, will infect the Zahu there, the wild people there, you force them to become your obedient people, maybe after one or two generations, they will forget their original origin and think that they are also Tang people, this is a merit." Although he doesn't raise the Tang flag, he is still doing what a Tang person should do, isn't it, Zhang Tingshi? ”

"I really didn't expect that Li Xiang was actually thinking about things from this angle." Zhang Zhongwen took a deep breath: "You stand taller than us, Zhang is ashamed." ”

Li Zedao: "Gu Han told me, Zhang Tingshi, you are in Yingzhou, Liaozhou is imitating our strategy in all aspects, and is working hard to naturalize Zahu, savages, a few years ago, Zhang Tingshi just ordered the abolition of slavery and distributed land to these people. Even in these places, the Kaimeng School teaches Tang Wen and Tang dialect? ”

"Okay, of course we want to learn too!" Zhang Zhongwen said worriedly: "Yingzhou, Liaozhou and other places are not as many wealthy families as the Central Plains, and the only ones have also been defeated by us, eaten clean, and there are no more big families for us to plunder." We have more land, but what we lack is people who can cultivate. ”

"So you're starting to naturalize these people!" Li Zedao: "The government military system has also been revitalized, which in my opinion is an excellent strategy. I believe that in a few years, these places will really come to life. ”

"But we're missing everything!" Zhang Zhongwen said: "This is also the reason why I have to come to Wuyi, Li Xiang, since I have said this, I want to know, what help can you give us?" ”

"What do you want?"

"We want everything!" Zhang Zhongwen said: "Farm tools, cloth, daily necessities, and even weapons!" ”

"Weapons?"

"Not bad." Zhang Zhongwen said: "Li Xiang, where are we, we are still constantly fighting and conquering, we want to use the least number of troops to obtain the maximum results, and save more manpower and material resources to develop people's livelihood, so we need better weapons and better agricultural tools." Can Lee Sang-sang's satisfy us? ”

"There's nothing you can't be satisfied with, as long as you're willing to pay!" Li Ze said with a smile.
