Chapter 417: Right and Wrong, Black and White
By the time he turned back to the city on the way to escape, Li Su probably knew his fate.
Even he didn't expect that such a smart person would one day do such a stupid thing that would destroy the city, knowing that there was no hope, but he still had no way back.
It is impossible for a smart person to do smart things all his life, occasionally do something stupid, at least let others look like a living person, and cute, Li Su, a smart person, did this stupid thing is no different from the stupid thing that others do, the product of brain extraction, if there must be anything different, that is, the stupid thing he did is very bad, this kind of terrible stupid thing only has one chance in a lifetime, and after doing it, whether it is stupid or smart, there is no chance to do it again.
Generous and righteous, calmly dying, the image is very high, perhaps, there will be a few words about him in the history books, and then he will be read by the descendants thousands of years later, praise a few words in front of outsiders, and secretly scold a stupid X in his heart, there is no doubt that Li Su did this in his last life.
Now Li Su has probably figured it out, God gave him a second life, not to let him enjoy the blessings, but to let him try the stupid X in his mouth in his previous life, what he thought in his heart when he did stupid things, whether he really regarded death as he said in the history books, or as stupid and stupid as he said in his previous life, I know everything at this moment.
"Regrets?"
Li Su looked at the ashes that had been blown away by the wind, and suddenly asked.
Wang Zhu was stunned: "What? ”
"Nine times out of ten, we're going to die in this city, pity?"
Wang Zhuan looked a little stunned, and then laughed a few times: "There are no regrets." Don't you have you with you......"
"You mean, the one who pulled me on the back of death?"
"Figured it out, you pulled me on this back...... Actually, I don't know what to think. Like the last time in Songzhou, I wanted to be the first to attack the city and die, at that time I was very scared, and I cried very uncompetitively, because I was afraid that I would die alone and go to the underground of Huangquan. No one was with me, and this time I was really not too scared, so let's die. You are here, Zheng Xiaolou is here, Jiang Quan is also there, and there are so many brothers in the cavalry camp. Everyone is going to die together. My heart is much more relaxed, whether it is life or death, everyone is together, heaven and earth, afraid of a hairball! ”
Li Su looked at him with great emotion and nodded slowly: "It sounds very emotional, but I just took a closer look." Probably you pulled a bunch of back-mounted ......"
Wang Zhu smiled: "Left and right is a death, as you said." Sooner or later, it's just that. ”
Li Su sighed and said with a gloomy expression: "I'm not afraid of death...... Well, I'm still very afraid, very afraid, looking back, this life is just more than ten years, I live in a dazy life and don't know what to do, I feel especially sorry for it, and even some places are not as good as you......"
Wang Zhuqi said: "You are stronger than me in everything, no matter how you look, your temperament, your wit, and your official ...... What's not as good as me? ”
Li Su didn't answer, looked up at the sky and sighed.
This is really hard to say, although Wang Zhu is the same age as him, at least he married his mother-in-law and has a house, but he has not broken his body so far, which is really not as good as Wang Zhu, and it can be regarded as one of the regrets in this life.
patted Wang Zhuan's shoulder, Li Su looked a little guilty: "Sticking to this city is a stupid thing for me, what makes me guilty is that this stupid thing has dragged you and Zheng Xiaolou in, you and your aunt have not been married for a long time, and you haven't left a seed for the Wang family, even if you and I die in battle in the future, I'm afraid that your father and mother will blame me......"
Wang Zhu smiled: "What are you talking about, I didn't keep the seeds, but there is Wang Zhi below, the Wang family will never die, but it's you, your Li family is your only seedling......"
Li Su shook his head: "There is no way, the family and the country are all over the world, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to choose, I can only be sorry for my father......"
Looking into the distance outside the city, it was already sunset, the enemy army had all retreated, and the red light of the remnant sun spread on the desert, and the red land was like blood and flowers.
"Wang Zhu, do you remember the Turkic cavalry that supported us in defending the city?"
"Of course I remember, the leader's name is Battle, and after he confessed Cao Yu, didn't you let him and his people go as promised?"
Li Su nodded, and said lightly: "Battle once told me the location of their people, after dark, send someone out of the city from the east, find the station of the Turkic cavalry, tell him that Xizhou is in danger, ask him to gather the people to help, tell him, no matter whether this city can be defended or not, my Tang Dynasty will soon be able to free up his hand from the north to go west, and will soon establish the Anxi Protectorate in Xizhou, if he is willing to help today, I will not give him any money, grain and grass, but I can sponsor it to Your Majesty in the future, He and his people were placed under the rule of the Tang Anxi Protectorate, and he was allowed to choose a piece of land with fertile grass and beautiful water within the Xizhou to graze and reproduce the ethnic group......"
Turning his head to look at Wang Zhuan, Li Su chuckled and said: "Let people ask him, do you dare to fight for a bright future with the lives of the clansmen, if he is willing, I, Li Su, the prince of Jingyang County of the Tang Dynasty, am willing to be brothers with him, and in the future, we will share blessings and misfortunes, life and death." ”
Wang Zhuan frowned, and hesitated: "Are you going to ask that Turkic cavalry to help us defend the city?" But...... Isn't this exactly the same as what Cao Yu did back then? It is taboo to transfer foreign troops without permission......"
Li Su smiled strangely: "Taboo? Our lives are almost gone, so what's the taboo! Wang Zhuan, don't stick to the old rules, in the end, the rules are kept, and the life is gone, is it worth it? Cao Yu is Cao Yu, I am me, the practice is the same, but the saying is different, others say that I have an affair with a foreigner, but on the contrary, why don't I turn the tide? Since it is a Xizhou driver, it has the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot......"
Wang Zhu was puzzled: "Cao Yu also did this, why is the statement different?" Didn't he hire the Turks back then to turn the tide? ”
Li Su said with a smile: "One thing is said in the right way, and in reverse, depending on who the person is, how to say it, Cao Yuliu's years are unfavorable, he offended me, a villain, and I took the handle, so he became a collusion with foreign races, and I, who was personally degraded by His Majesty to Xizhou, is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, even if he is degraded, the holy family is more generous than him, so I do this to turn the tide......"
Sighing, Li Su shook his head and said: "These are the routines in officialdom, black and white, right and wrong, it's not their business, but in people's hearts, you don't understand this, and there is no need to learn this, officialdom looks glamorous, peel it off, it's very dirty inside." ”
Wang Zhu nodded as if he didn't understand, and was about to say something, but suddenly heard a faint voice behind him.
"I heard it all......"
The two were shocked and hurriedly turned around, but saw Cao Yu standing behind them, looking into the distance with a resentful expression, as if contemplative and pathetic.
Cao ...... Cao Tingshi, you ...... Why are you here? This time, even Li Su was embarrassed, and his old face was hot.
Cao Yu ignored him, holding on to the arrow battlements of the city wall, looking at the bloody sun in the distance, and sighed infinitely resentfully: "No wonder this year is unlucky, no wonder I was seized of power in a daze, it turns out that I offended the villain......"
