A lot of the time war depends on a little bit of luck, sometimes good luck, sometimes bad luck.

What Li Su encountered was bad luck.

Because he met a brave Turkic leader, he only knew how to rush forward, but as a result, he lost his troops and fled, disrupting Li Su's strategic deployment. Because of Battle's recklessness, Li Su and the defending soldiers were almost killed by him, and in the end he had to pinch his nose to give him official bonuses, fat pastures, and so on.

If inviting this mercenary is a business, Li Su has undoubtedly made a loss-making business.

Hou Junji's eyes were still staring at the offensive and defensive maps drawn on the ground, and he pondered for a long time, nodding and shaking his head from time to time.

"It's a little interesting, baby, you are guarding this city well, you are famous in Chang'an at a young age, and there ......is nothing in your name in the end" Hou Junji raised his head and looked at Li Su, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's reward has arrived, you have made great contributions to defending the city this time, and you have earned enough time for Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, and the old man can lead the army for thousands of miles without hindrance, and it is estimated that Your Majesty's reward for you is not small, and your Li family is about to soar." ”

Li Su saluted in the direction of Chang'an in the east with a serious expression: "Your Majesty Hongfu ......"

Syllable!

Another kick in the ass.

"Who did you learn this hypocritical path from at a young age? It's your credit that is yours, and who will be blessed with what you get in exchange for your life? Hou Junji glared at him and said.

Li Su looked at him aggrievedly.

The baby is bitter, but the baby does not cry......

Hou Junji snorted, turned his head to look at the vast desert outside the city, and said: "Li family baby, you are also a person who has seen battles, what do you think of the old man's western expedition to Gaochang Qiuzi this time, what are the odds of winning?" ”

Li Su hurriedly said: "This western expedition is engulfed by Your Majesty's thunder and dragon might. My Tang Dynasty King is like a tiger entering the flock, invincible, the kid thinks that Uncle Hou will definitely make immortal contributions to the Tang Dynasty this time, and the destruction of the country in Gaochang is just around the corner. ”

Hou Junji smiled: "The tongue is clever, and he says something flattering." Speaking of the old man is also entrusted to your blessing, the Western Regions Alliance Army poured the country's troops into Xizhou, was beaten into pieces by you and the soldiers of Yumen Pass, and those who fled back to China are not one out of ten, feng shui takes turns, the countries are now few soldiers, and the city air defense is weak, you have paved the way for the old man, if the old man can't win a big victory this time. captured the chieftains of the two countries and sacrificed them to His Majesty's steps, and the food for so many years was in vain. ”

Li Su smiled only and said yes.

Hou Junji turned his head, squinted his eyes and said: "You are now an official, in addition to Jingyang County and Xizhou, you also have the title of 'General Dingyuan', right?" ”

"Yes."

"Since he is the general of Dingyuan, he is the person who marches the horses, how can he not participate in such a grand event? It will take some time for His Majesty's reward to reach Xizhou. If you and the old man go on the same expedition to Gaochang Qiuzi, it can be regarded as a breath of evil that almost killed the siege at the beginning. Second, you can also make more credit and add a little more luster to your Li family's lintel, how about the virtuous nephew? ”

"Going with Uncle Hou?" Li Su was taken aback, and then shook his head quickly: "If you don't go, you won't go, you won't go to death!" Little Nephew...... Little Nephew...... Old wounds have not healed. When defending the city, he suffered a very serious internal injury, and when he walked two steps faster, he palpitated and gasped for breath, and he couldn't travel far, Uncle Hou ......"

Li Su said as he covered his heart. Pose as a dying person.

Hou Jun smiled angrily, raised his hand and pointed at him a few times, and scolded with a smile: "There are so many little babies in Chang'an, I have never seen you so slippery, and the old man didn't let you charge into battle, you just stayed in the handsome tent and waited for the credit to be shared, my 40,000 Wang Shi of the Tang Dynasty marched all the way, destroying the withering and decaying, this time the enemy is vulnerable, and when Gaochang Qiuzi is destroyed, not only will the credit be shared with you, but after capturing the lords of the two countries, you can also humiliate yourself and avenge the siege of the city that day, why not?" Boy, why are you pushing and shoving like this? ”

Li Su said with a bitter face: "Uncle Hou forgives his sins, it's not that the kid doesn't know how to lift, it's really an old injury that hasn't healed, the pain is unbearable, and it's unbearable to travel far, not to mention that the soldiers are fighting desperately in front, but the kid is sitting in the back and enjoying the credit, this is not a gentleman's doing,...... At that time, Uncle Niu gave the boy the crown, and gave the boy the word 'Zizheng', which is to hope that the boy will do things upright in this life, and his words and deeds will have the style of a gentleman, it is not an exaggeration to say that the boy has done a good job over the years......"

"If you blow the old man again, I'll whip you again......" Hou Junji said coldly: "What have you done in the past few years to have the style of a gentleman?" Do you want to be embarrassed? ”

Saying that, Hou Junji shook his head and sighed: "You don't want to go west with the old man, and the old man doesn't force you, in two or three months, Your Majesty's will will come, and it is estimated that your time in Xizhou is short, so you can live and recuperate for a few months, and prepare to go back to Chang'an." ”

Li Su smiled.

After Hou Junji finished speaking, he stopped looking at him, and looked at the desert outside the city with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Su looked at his back, the back was very quiet, revealing a bit of loneliness and depth, the gusts of wind blew his black cloak, and the iron armor under the cloak shone brightly, like a javelin that had been aged for a long time but polished brightly.

Li Su's mood is very complicated, rejecting Hou Junji is not the so-called old injury that has not healed, in fact, his injury has long been healed, and if he sits in the handsome tent and does nothing, he will get credit, which is almost equivalent to pie in the sky, but he still refused.

At the beginning of Songzhou City, when Hou Junji was full of interest and wanted to make a contribution to Li Su in his name, Niu Jinda quickly stopped him, and couldn't help but pull Li Su into his sons and nephews, with a look of protecting the calf.

There is not necessarily harmony between the veteran and the veteran, everyone looks very heroic and upright, but there is a difference in personality, Niu Jinda's original move, Li Su faintly understood something, and then thought of Hou Junji's fate in real history, to be honest, Li Su really didn't dare to have anything to do with him, the Western Expedition to destroy the country is a great achievement, and the class will return to Chang'an in the future, what kind of honor is not too much, but once something happens in the future, the emperor is unhappy, and today's great merit will become a big disaster in the future.

Living in this world, being a man or safety first, this time to defend Xizhou, Li Su's contribution is already not small, if he is confused and follows Hou Junji to the west, I don't know if he will bury a killing machine for himself in the future, this kind of risky thing, Li Su will never do.

However, according to his conscience, Hou Junji is indeed good to Li Su, and he will take his own children and nephews as his every move, Li Su is not a good person, but it has not reached the point of a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, the elders care for him without reservation, but he is playing tricks with him, and he feels a little ashamed when he thinks about Li Su.

Looking at Hou Junji's lonely back, Li Su thought about it, and decided to talk about it after returning to Chang'an in the future, if ...... Hou Junji really wants to do something foolish in the future, and he will stop it with all his might.

*****************************************************************

The army of the Western Expedition camped outside the city of Xizhou, stayed for three days, after the soldiers had rested enough, in the early morning of the fourth day, Hou Jun gathered drums and gathered the generals, and the whole army marched to the west.

Li Su and Cao Yu and other officials in Xizhou sent each other in front of the gate, and the army went away until it disappeared into the horizon, and Li Su and the other officials and generals walked back leisurely.

"Li don't drive, take a step to speak......" Cao Yu quietly pulled Li Su aside, Li Su also cooperated, and the two walked slowly along the roots of the outer wall of the city.

"Is there something wrong with Cao Thorn History?"

Cao Yu smiled a little embarrassed, saying that it was Shangguan, but in fact, anyone in Xizhou City knew who was in charge of this city, not to mention that Li Su was still holding his handle in his hand, and General Hou had called him over to speak in the past few days, Cao Yu was frightened, for fear that Li Su would sell him, with his understanding of Li Su, this guy could really do this.

It wasn't until last night that Li Su asked him out alone to chat for a while, and swore that he didn't betray him, that Cao Yu was relieved.

"Li Beijia has meritorious service in guarding the city, and His Majesty's reward will will be reached, and now everyone in the city is saying that Li Beijia will definitely be transferred back to Chang'an by His Majesty this time......"

Li Su blinked: "Reluctant to let me go?" ”

Cao Yu was stunned, and then smiled: "To be honest, I used to wish you left early, the sooner the better, but, after we defended the city side by side and experienced life and death, I really can't bear you to go, Li Beijia has the talent to govern the world, I can't reach it, a city was tossed in my hands and was dying, but in your hands, it was full of vitality, and now the people are slowly moving back to the city, and the merchants and traders are also endless, a city that has just experienced a great war, the recovery is so fast, it looks like a day, Li Beijia, in fact, You're better suited to be a thorn than I am. ”

Li Su smiled: "You are wrong, in fact, the most suitable thing for me to do is to lie under the ginkgo tree in my yard, with a pot of wine and two dishes at hand, whether it is quiet and in a daze, whether it is sleeping, whether it is crazy and drunk, in short, I will lie like this in this life until I am lazy to death." ”

Cao Yu's eyes straightened: "This ...... Is it the right thing for you to do? ”

"Yes, this is my biggest ambition in this life......" patted the sluggish Cao Yu, Li Su squeezed his fist at him vigorously: "I will work hard towards this ambition!" ”

Cao Yu: "............"

It's so difficult to chat with this kind of person, find a topic that everyone can accept, can not smoke each other, and keep talking calmly!

After Cao Yu was stunned for a long time, he suddenly had an epiphany, he decided to skip the hypocritical routine of greetings, and went straight to the topic.

"I want to ask Li Beijia, it is almost ironclad that you will be transferred back to Chang'an by His Majesty, after you leave, how should Xizhou City be governed? I really don't know the bottom in my heart, and I hope that Li Beijia will give me advice. ”

Li Su thought for a while and said: "Xiao Gui Cao just followed, let it develop, rule by doing nothing, the government does not have to interfere too much, there will be great governance after the chaos, Xizhou City will soon be flooded with a large number of merchants, they themselves will make this city prosperous, what the government has to do is to plan the layout, where to live in the city, where to allow business, the government to demarcate the place, and the merchants and people should obey it." ”
