The momentum is the foundation of great things, and not knowing how to judge the situation will become a necessary powder for sacrifice in some changes, and only by understanding the observation of the general trend can we be powerful and can be borrowed, and we have more confidence in achieving things.

Li Xinrong Ma has been unsatisfactory in his life, although he has been unsatisfactory recently, but he has also become a dignitary, with various experiences that ordinary people do not have, and he is very rich.

The ancestor of the Li family was born as a doctor in the Wei State, and the doctor was an official position below the secretary level at that time, and the secretary was the most important official position in various countries, so the official position of the doctor was actually not too low.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the doctor was actually the lord of a place, with his own fiefdom, his own retainers, and his subjects. Some powerful doctors, the land they own will not be less than that of Qing's family, and even the army assembled when the monarch summons can form a division under the "Zhou royal family system", and a division at that time was about 2,000 people.

The fully armed division of 2,000 people looks small in number, but considering that only "soldiers" can become soldiers in the Spring and Autumn Period, then at least 2,000 "countrymen" with constant production are eligible to become soldiers, which is enough to show how powerful the doctors who can form a division are.

There is no record of what happened to the Li family in the Wei State before migrating to the Qin State, but considering the allusions to the related idiom of "Chu Cai Jin Yong", it is estimated that the national turmoil and aristocratic tilting of the Wei State were too serious, and the ancestors of the Li family moved from the Wei State to the Qin State. After they moved to the Qin State, they developed rapidly, and Li Xin's grandfather, Li Chong, later became the Taishou of Longxi of the Qin State, and was named the Duke of Southern Zheng; Li Yao, who was Li Xin, struggled to become the Nanjun Taishou of the Qin State and was named the Marquis of Di Dao; Li Xin himself had always been a high-ranking general of the Qin army and was named Marquis of Longxi.

Li Xin was depressed for a period of time after the failure of the attack on Chu, but he later participated in the destruction of Yan and Qi by Qin, and it stands to reason that he should atone for his sins and become one of the prominent figures, but I don't know what caused him to be cut off his title, and he once disappeared from the officialdom of Qin after unification.

This time I came to the Western Regions. Li Xin came with the intention of rebuilding glory. He still remembered that his son Li Chao had asked a sentence to the effect that "Although so many things have happened in our Li family, it may not be that we can't get along in the Qin State, why didn't my father fight for it, but chose to be silent by himself." After the establishment of the empire, why did my father suddenly have the idea of becoming a leader? Something like that.

Li Xin's answer at that time is still remembered word for word, he told his son Li Chao that the glory of the Qin State would not change when the First Emperor was alive, but it was based on the calm on the surface, but secretly it was a turbulent situation. He also said, "The First Emperor had a great career in his life. The education of the heirs was a failure, and Fusu seemed to be benevolent, but in fact he was cronyistic and waited for Montessori alone; seems to love the people, but there is no strategy for governance; seems to be heroic but has no actual military exploits", citing many, many examples, and saying that "except for the empty Fusu, the other sons are even more unbearable", basically showing that once the first emperor died. The Qin State will inevitably fall into great chaos, and there may be many good opportunities to make contributions at that time, but it is even more likely that the ship will be destroyed.

As for the perception of the empire, Li Xin has been secretly observing for a long, long time. He could see that Lu Zhe's rule of the country was different from any previous ruler, Lu Zhe knew that giving profit was one of them, and the most important thing was that Lu Zhe had the mind to rule the world with the nobles.

It's a bit illusory, but there are many people who have the same opinion as Li Xin. It has a lot to do with today's thinking. Now is not the kind of era when you have and have the right to think about rebelling against yourself as the master of the country, and the Chinese civilization has not experienced the Five Chaos and the Northern and Southern Dynasties. There are no five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the bloodline theory is still very popular, and basically the thinking is the traditional thinking of "the king treats me as a countryman, and I treat the king as a countryman".

Therefore, Li Xin told his son Li Chao: "From the day when the statue of the hero was erected in Miyagi, the empire was destined for a hundred years. When statues of heroes were erected everywhere, the empire was destined for eternity. ”

In fact, many people believe that the reason why the Qin State collapsed so quickly is inseparable from the "centralization" incident. In addition, the Qin State has too much black history, and the old aristocrats during the reform period have become the targets of suppression, and many foundations established by their ancestors without stealing or robbing have been confiscated.

What is the purpose of a person's life's work? It's not for future generations! Centralization is another "Shang Yang Reform" in disguise, and everything must be returned to the ruler again, who can be willing? Who wants the foundation they have worked so hard for no longer belongs to them in the end?!

At that time, there were too many people who shared Li Xin's views, and they would resign after the Qin State dominated the world, and the most neat one who retired was Wei Yizi, Wang Jian originally wanted to retire cleanly, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Work hard for it, fight for it, pay as much as you get, what should be your own is your own, so that there is the value of hard work and struggle, and the country established by Lu Zhe has such a foundation, and it is in this way that more and more talents can be gathered.

"Our trip to the Western Regions wasn't a decision made by me with a pat on the head." As the time to do big things approached, Li Xin gathered the team members together and said, "Many people think that I have gathered and recruited you to come to the Western Regions privately for the sake of establishing miraculous achievements. ”

Twenty-eight people, including Li Ren, all looked at Li Xin with a serious face, and among them were the Li clan, the original generals and retainers of the Li family, and rangers from all over the country.

"We're here to build miracles." Li Xin stretched out his hand and clenched his released palm: "It's not a private matter. ”

No one interjected, and they all waited quietly for Li Xin to continue. They were willing to travel to the Western Regions in order to establish meritorious deeds or gain wealth. Li Xin had already made some fortune before he set off, enough for any member of the team to enjoy his family for a lifetime, and now what he lacked was meritorious service.

Li Xin withdrew what had been stretched out and took out a rolled-up scroll from his waist pocket.

The scroll is about eight centimeters wide, and after pushing it open, some fonts are written on it, and Li Xin read out the contents inside, to the effect that the general's mansion is concerned about how many weapons Li Xin has the right to gather, and he can act cheaply after arriving in the Western Regions.

Li Xin publicized the unfolded scroll to everyone, which was covered with the large seal of the General's Mansion. He re-rolled the scroll, put it back in his pocket, and said, "Before leaving, I have been summoned by Your Majesty. Your Majesty said to me, 'Those who offend the empire will be punished even if they are far away', which is the expectation of us, and what a domineering attitude. Trip. We are adhering to the will of His Majesty, coming to kill the vultures who dare to send troops to fight against the empire, and hold Loulan in both hands to give it to His Majesty! ”

"Kill its king, destroy its country, what an honor it is for the husband to have such an opportunity in his life!" Li Ren wasted no time in roaring: "Kill the other branch and turn Loulan into a county in the empire!" Husband, glory is in the present day! ”

The other twenty-seven people seemed to be infected by the words and could not control themselves, and they clenched their fists one after another, first shouting their own and then shouting in unison, "Long live the empire!" ”。

Li Xin is waiting for the atmosphere to be mobilized. Thinking that it was almost enough, he roared, "Gentlemen! Waiting for everyone's eyes to fall on him again, he said: "General Zhengxi's army has been drawn from Dunhuang County, and it will soon enter the Western Regions; The Western Regions Dispatch Army in the Wusun Territory also had 10,000 cavalry diverted south. ”

Everyone was thrilled to hear both news, and some were so excited that their cheeks flushed and their eyes turned red.

"Zhiwu also knows these two news, and he has sent someone to inform him that a big banquet will be held in the evening, and he will invite me and others to the palace and the banquet." Li Xin's eyes swept over everyone, and he pulled out the iron sword at his waist with a "swish". Pointing obliquely to the sky: "That night, the monarchs and the letter together beheaded the other in the Loulan Palace, and killed this official for the empire and His Majesty!" ”

Everyone drew their weapons with a "swish". Drink together: "Extinguish this morning food!" ”

One roar after another came out, and Mai Maiya, who had wanted to go over, stopped when he heard the roar, he could hear the murderous spirit in the roar, and he was puzzled and a little frightened at the same time.

Behind Mai Mai Mai Ya were Yu Du Li and four men in different costumes. Each of the four came from different city-states or kingdoms.

"This ......" Mai Mai Ya hesitated for a while, and said, "You guys stop where you are and wait, I will go and ask to see you?" ”

A roar in the distance. People who don't understand the words of the empire can also hear that it is indeed too murderous, but except for Mai Maiya, who does not understand the situation, he is a little frightened, Wei Duli and the other four people are not afraid but a little excited when they hear it.

After the knock on the door, Mai Mai Ya only pushed open the door after getting approval, and saw a group of people with weapons drawn, so frightened that he did not dare to step in, but dared to stop outside the door.

"Is it Mai Mai Ya?" Li Ren put the long sword back in its scabbard, walked towards Mai Maiya, and asked as he walked, "Yu Duli, are they here?" ”

"Yes, yes......" Mai Mai Ya did not retreat after holding back, he rolled his eyes: "I came here for the palace banquet in the evening." He smiled flatteringly: "King Loulan has already found an interpreter who will speak the imperial dialect, and he will ...... at night The villain doesn't have to go with him at night, right? ”

"You are very smart, we have always liked smart people, but ......" Li Ren directly reached out and patted Mai Mai Ya on the shoulder, and he didn't use much force, and the slap actually slapped Mai Mai Ya soft to the ground: "What I like is the smart people who are towards us, and for the smart people who are not towards us, I have always liked to never suffer in the future." ”

A dense cold sweat broke out on Mai Maiya's forehead instantly, and he nodded stiffly and continuously, saying, "Understood, understood......", forced to calm down, and said flatteringly: "I have been on the side of the empire from the beginning. ”

Wei Duli and five others were also invited, and it was Li Xin who entertained them.

Li Xin invited the five people into the room and talked for about five minutes, and after the five people came out, they were happy, and while they kept bowing to Li Xin and thanking them, they basically left with satisfaction on their faces.

"Weisu, Shanguo, Weili, Yanqi, the four kingdoms have secretly assembled troops," Li Xin said to Li Ren, "Wudaqi's side has also obtained the support of the two city lords of Yage and Che'er. ”

"The Imperial army has already shown signs of heading to the southern part of the Western Regions, and they have no choice." Li Ren is full of expectations: "All parties need to support the death of the other to eliminate the anger of the empire, so the support of the other will definitely die." ”

Li Xin nodded heavily, glanced at Mai Maiya, who had just gotten up from the ground, and then looked at Li Ren with inquiring eyes.

"He's useful to the Lee family." Li Ren approached Li Xin and whispered something.

Li Xin kept nodding, and after listening, he smiled at Mai Maiya and said, "It won't be without your benefits." ”

Mai Mai Ya also smiled, smiling extremely flatteringly, but the smile was full of emptiness.

In the evening, Nabedu came to invite him personally, and on the way he asked Li Xin about the imperial army that came out of Dunhuang and the imperial army that went south from Wusun, and he was asking about the intentions of the two armies.

Li Xin actually tested Nabedu, because the eldest prince of the Loulan Kingdom also showed ambition. The response given to him was more real, hoping that the empire could clear up the misunderstanding with Loulan and the two countries get along amicably, and even put forward the sincerity that Loulan could serve the empire as the leader of the alliance.

Along the way, the streets were not much different from usual, and there was nothing unusual to be seen, until they arrived at the palace, when a burst of light like daylight brightened the city.

According to the observations of Li Xin and others, the vigilance of the palace seems to be much tighter than usual tonight.

Naibedu's explanation is that not only the palace has strengthened its vigilance, but also the various cities and passes in Loulan have also strengthened their vigilance, all because the countries around Loulan are mobilizing troops, and a group of refugees have also poured into Loulan from the west.

Li Xin did not have any comment, the imperial army was advancing towards the southern part of the Western Regions, and it was normal for various city-states and kingdoms to mobilize their troops. Moreover, he also knew the real intentions of the countries around Loulan to mobilize troops, and it was normal for Loulan to respond to the mobilization of troops by various countries.

Entering the palace, it was a scene of tightness inside and looseness outside, which made Li Xin and the others, who were a little nervous, breathe a sigh of relief, until they entered the main hall, they saw that there were many guests in the venue, and the vultures stood up from the throne and came down to greet them.

"Welcome......" Zhi Wu had to stop in the middle of another sentence, just because Li Xin's footsteps did not stop, he walked to his side and took out something. He only wondered in his heart: "What's the situation?" Usually, he entertained Li Xin in the palace, but he didn't think much about other things, but he felt that Li Xin was a little different today.

Li Xin stood on the other side of the vulture, Li Ren and the other twenty-eight people were already standing in various places in the hall, and if you looked closely, you could find that they were controlling the direction of entry, and it also separated the Loulan warriors and the other in the hall.

"Everyone!" Li Xin's voice was very loud, attracting everyone to look at it. He spread out the scroll, ignoring the surprise on Zhi Wu's other face, and read the words for a while.

Zhi Wu didn't understand the imperial dialect, in fact, the vast majority of people present couldn't understand it, they could only listen to Mai Mai Ya's stammering translation, but Zhi Wu listened to it and listened more and more wrong, what is it that King Loulan is stupid and doesn't understand the power of heaven to offend the emperor Tianwei? What does it mean to "invade the empire, although it is far away, it will be punished"?

After Li Xinxin finished speaking, he took the scroll back into his pocket very steadily, and then drew the war sword at his waist very steadily, and then in the scene where everyone was stunned or stunned, he simply slashed at the neck of the other person beside him...... (To be continued.) )
