Chapter 836: Flying Tiger Kills
Li Sizhao walked through the camp gate humming an out-of-tune tune, he was wearing a steel plate armor and a silk cloak on the outside, and his short stature matched with this hideous iron armor, there was a kind of chaotic harmony. When he saw Li Keyong sitting by the fire, his footsteps stopped, and he didn't move. "Your Excellency!" He exclaimed, almost screaming, mixed with disbelief and perhaps a hint of unspeakable joy or fear.
"So you're still me? I already thought you had forgotten about me. ”
"It's great to see you so healthy and strong." Li Sizhao's heartbeat was accelerating, and Li Keyong suddenly appeared in his tent, this was not a dream, but it was even more absurd than a dream. "I'll admit, though, I didn't expect to see you here. Where are you all these times? There have been rumors out there that you have been"
"Rumor that I died early in Ulju? Right? Li Keyong came over when Li Sizhao went to Zheng Congyan's Chinese army camp to attend a military meeting, and Li Cunzhang had already gathered a group of people, and he entered Li Sizhao's tent as if he had entered a no-man's land. Li Sizhao's rampage was loyal and tried to prevent Li Cunzhang from coming in with him, but with a wave of his hand, they all fell in a pool of their own blood at the door. "I also hope to find a secret correspondence between you and Li Jing here, to see what you said to Li Jing, and what kind of reward he promised to reward you, but I haven't found a piece of paper."
He firmly believed that Li Sizhao had betrayed him, and reached an ulterior agreement with Li Jing to sell himself in exchange for today's knighthood. Therefore, as soon as he entered, he rummaged through Li Sizhao's tent, but found nothing. This disappointed him. He wanted to find that evidence. And so it goes. He didn't have to hesitate to execute this righteous son who betrayed him. But he didn't find anything, which confused him, did he blame him?
"Your tent is very simple, when I came, I thought you must be living in a golden tent, and there are even many liquor beauties hidden in the tent!"
"Adults reminded me that drinking is easy to make mistakes, and since then, I haven't drunk a single drop. As for women. This is in the army. As the commander-in-chief, how can he hide a woman in the handsome tent. ”
"I thought you'd changed."
"I am who I am, and I still am. Are you mad at me, my lord? Angry that I gave Yizhou to Li Jing? ”
"Shouldn't I be angry? For the sake of Yizhou, I sent troops twice before and after, defeated twice, and even I died in Li Jing's ambush. ”
"Giving up Yizhou is not to win Li Jing's heart. Not to take refuge in him. King Jin, you should know the situation at that time. We are trapped in Yizhou and are almost exhausted, and it doesn't make much sense to continue to hold on, it will only make tens of thousands of good men in Shatuo trapped to death. He sighed, "Saving land and losing people, people and land are lost." Save people and lose land, and people and land are both saved. ”
Li Ke rubbed the scar on his face angrily, "I remember that Li Jing said this." It seems that you have a lot of respect for Li Jing, and you even remember his words so clearly. Next, are you planning to worship Li Jing as your father-in-law? Oh, no. If Li Jing doesn't accept his son, maybe you can be his fourteenth disciple. Or do you want to tell me, in fact, you are already the fourteenth disciple of Li Jing? He smiled, "I trust you a lot, but how do you repay me?" I'm not dead yet, you gave Yizhou to Li Jing. Tell me, do you really plan to compete with Li Siyuan for the position of King Shatuo? ”
"No, sir. I have never thought that even if it is Mi Jilie, if he knew that Lord Lu Dao was still alive, he would definitely be overjoyed and immediately return the military power to your lordship. ”
"Should I trust you for that?" Li Siyuan used to be his most trusted son, but during his disappearance, he made an agreement with his great enemy Li Jing and gave his children to Li Jing. Even, during this time, Li Keyong also heard a secret rumor that Li Siyuan had been secretly in love with his wife Liu, and some people even said that there was a personal affair between them. This rumor made Li Ke very angry, and it turned out that he would never believe such a rumor. But Li Keyong, who had just returned from Yanjing, was a little skeptical. Less than half a year after he 'died', Liu was already with Li Jing and pregnant with a child, which shows that Liu is not as loyal as he used to think. Even if Liu and Li Siyuan, the righteous mother and son, have no real incoherence, but looking back now, they are indeed very close. At the very least, Li Siyuan may really have a love for Liu.
Liu is his wife, and Li Sizhao is his adopted son. The thought of what they might have done made him sick and angry. Li Siyuan even covets his wife, what else can't he do?
"Your Excellency, you should trust us. After you disappeared, the dragons were leaderless, if it weren't for the fact that Hei Yuan was ordered to turn the tide and fall immediately, the Shatuo clan might not be safe, and it would be impossible for them to control the Daibei Lands now. ”
Damn it, Li Keyong thought, "I seem to remember that Li Siyuan is now the king of Yanmen County, the envoy of the Yanmen Festival, and the commander of Shatuo." Why didn't he just call King Shatuo? ”
"Indeed, I also accepted the title of Datong Army Festival Envoy, King of Datong County, and Governor of Shatuo. But this doesn't mean anything, we are loyal to our adults and accept these things for the sake of the entire Shatuo clan. ”
"It's a pity that I didn't die. I think that now, your titles of county kings, commanders, and commanders of the metropolitan governors can no longer be retained. Will you be reluctant? ”
"Ah, of course." Li Sizhao immediately said solemnly, "It was only to save the situation that I had to reach an agreement with Li Jing, and it was just an expedient measure." Now that the adults have returned, Shatuo will naturally continue to be led by you. As long as you are here, we don't have to be afraid of Li Jing anymore. As long as you can continue to follow your lordship, what is the title of the prince of the county, the title of the commander of the festival, and the title of the commander of the metropolitan governor, none of this matters. My lord, Sha Tuo needs you, in fact, Sha Tuo is facing a split right now, but I am weak and have no prestige to prevent this. It's good that you're back, as soon as you show up, whether it's the soldiers of Yanmen or Yizhou, they will all reunite under your command. Revive our Shatuo. ”
The two Shatuo forces represented by Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan are now brewing an infighting. Li Keyong has long known the Tao. Whether it is Li Siyuan or Li Sizhao. They are all too young and too young. Those domineering Shatuo generals all want to make contributions to the establishment of the new Shatuo king. Anyway, if they succeed, they will be promoted and rich. If they fail, the victorious side will not dare to do anything to them, but will try to appease them. And give them promotions and make a fortune. Since they are all promoted and rich no matter what, and only Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao need to take risks, why aren't they enthusiastic. This is all old-fashioned, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty like this, and they support the generals to rebel against the marshal at every turn, and even the generals support the marshal to rebel against the court. This set is now very familiar to the Shatuo people.
"I understand that although you have to be used by me, the soldiers below may not completely obey you." He couldn't help but chuckle under his breath, "Now you should understand. It's not so easy to be the king of Shatuo, right? ”
"Whether it's me or Siyuan, we're still too young." Li Sizhao nodded in acknowledgement. "If you don't show up, Sha Tuo may be torn apart from now on, but luckily the Lord is still alive."
Liu Yunniang used to share a bed with him, but now there are also rumors of her private relationship with Li Siyuan. She was captured by Li Jing, and in less than half a year, she became Li Jing's woman, pregnant with his child. This woman used to be his most beloved and trusted person, but she betrayed herself so easily. Even she can't believe it, can he still trust Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan anymore?
"The wolves need a wolf king to rule them, not two wolf cubs. In a few years, maybe you would have been qualified, but for now, you are still too young. Rick sneered.
"You will always be our wolf king, and that will never change."
"Yes, I am the wolf king, and you should never expose your ambition to be the wolf king so early." Lick said sharply.
"I am willing to prove my loyalty to adults with practical actions." Li Sizhao pressed his hand on his chest and said excitedly: "From now on, 30,000 Datong troops plus 50,000 people, all the command will be handed over to the adults. ”
"What belongs to me, I don't need you to give it to me again." Li Keyong sneered again, in his opinion, this statement was just a pretentious gesture after Li Sizhao knew that the situation was irretrievable, and wanted to deceive his trust. It's a pity that he doesn't trust anyone easily anymore. "What belongs to me, I have taken it back myself."
"My lord, my loyalty to you is evident from the sun and the moon!" Li Sizhao said loudly, and there was a sadness in his tone. He was loyal to Shatuo and the King of Jin, but it turned out to be all suspicion and speculation. After Li Keyong disappeared, some of his subordinates persuaded him to stand on his own, and even let him compete with Li Siyuan for the throne of Shatuo. But he refused, because he was not a man who was keen on power. But he didn't expect that he was so loyal to King Jin, but King Jin didn't believe him at all.
"I have not come to hear your faithfulness. Loyalty, how much is a pound? Li Ke sneered, unmoved.
"My lord, can I pour you tea?" Li Sizhao picked up the teapot.
"No need." Li Ke folded his hands together, "I'm here to give you a chance to confess." Tell me, you betrayed my trust! ”
"No, I am loyal to my lords and have never turned my backs on them."
Even if you insist on it, will I believe it? Li Keyong shook his head, no matter what Li Sizhao said, he wouldn't believe it.
Lick shook his head in disappointment and stood up.
"Your Excellency!"
"You only get one chance, and I gave it to you. It's a shame you've missed it though. Si Zhao, you used to be a very good child, a brave general, originally, you had the opportunity to become a big handsome and stand alone. Now, I'll leave you a little bit of decency, and Cunzhang will send you a pot of wine in a while, your favorite Wuliangye before. ”
"It's a drug bar!" Li Sizhao said with a miserable laugh.
Li Ke was silent, turned his head to look at him again, and walked out of the tent without looking back, through the open tent, Li Sizhao saw that there were countless black-clothed armor soldiers standing densely outside the tent at this time, those people, he was very familiar with, it was his horizontal capital and black crow soldiers, but at this time, they all aimed their spears and bows and arrows at his tent.
