Taohua Village was supposed to be a very ordinary small mountain village, but everyone in the village practiced martial arts with extraordinary skills, and there were also warriors like the Teng brothers who possessed extraordinary courage.

In addition, Qing Zhuang, the Teng brothers, Li Xuan and others in Taohua Village are all very skilled in marching and fighting, and they know the current military discipline without being taught. and learning process.

If Taohua Village was not a mountain village isolated from the world, Li Li would not feel that there was anything wrong, but it was precisely this isolation that made him suspicious and very curious about the life experiences of the Teng brothers, Li Xuan and others.

Perhaps the so-called isolation of Taohua Village just means that no outsiders enter the village; if others don't come in, the people in the village will rarely go out.

In this way, how do the young and strong in Taohua Village know the general trend of the world, and why are they familiar with the Han army system and military discipline?

Li Xuan didn't want to mention his ancestor's name very much, because although that name was very famous, it had a bad reputation.Especially in the hearts of the old Qin people in Liangzhou, Jingzhao, that name is a representative of betraying the Lord and seeking glory.

Li Li could see some hesitation in Li Xuan's expression, but this matter must be asked clearly.Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to fully trust the people in Taohua Village, and he had to be on guard all the time.

Once this situation is delayed for a long time, Li Li will inevitably develop suspicions towards Li Xuan and the Teng brothers, and then the master and slave will be alienated and distrust each other.

Suspicion is actually a big taboo for superiors in employing people.Employing people without doubt, doubting people without using them, this is the right way to employ people.

"Yuanzhong, I know you may have something to hide, but this matter must be clarified. Otherwise, I can tell you frankly that I cannot completely trust you!"

Li Xuan's complexion changed slightly, and he looked at Li Li with some surprise, but saw the sincerity in Li Li's clear and deep eyes.

Immediately, Li Xuan gritted his teeth slightly, and whispered five words: "The ancestor Tongyou Gong."

"Tongyougong? This is the name, not the full name. Yuan Zhong, don't be hesitant, come on, just say the name? If your ancestors have a bad reputation or have done something wrong, that is long gone What does it have to do with you? Everyone has his own ambitions, and even brothers and sisters sometimes run counter to each other, let alone your ancestors?"

When Li Li heard Li Xuan's ancestral name, he couldn't remember who the "Tong You Gong" was, so he patiently explained Li Xuan, so that he didn't have to worry about it, and he could speak boldly.

After hearing Li Li's words, Li Xuan immediately relaxed a lot, took a breath, and said, "My lord, the ancestor is Li Si, the prime minister of the pre-Qin period, and his characters are right."

"Li Si?" Li Li stood up instantly and asked in a startled voice.

Li Xuan nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, my lord, the ancestor of my subordinates is Li Si, the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty 400 years ago!"

After being dazed for a moment, Li Li's expression gradually returned to normal. After taking a deep breath, he sat back on the main seat.

Immediately, he stared at Li Xuan with piercing eyes, and said sincerely, "Okay, Li Si, Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, is a very remarkable person! He promoted the system of prefectures and counties, abolished the system of enfeoffment, and assisted the first emperor in unifying the six countries and unifying weights and measures. , benefit for thousands of years, be the first prime minister of all ages!"

Li Li's praise was definitely not just words to appease Li Xuan, but a feeling.

Li Si is indeed a very remarkable political minister.He implemented the original system of prefectures and counties in the Qin State throughout the country, which directly affected later generations for 2000 years; he strongly advocated the abolition of the enfeoffment system, which directly killed the breeding ground for the princes and kings, and caused the scene of the eight hundred princes in the world during the Zhou Dynasty to be completely annihilated in the dust of history ; Minimize the appearance of vassal states, and virtually eliminate how many wars and killings.

However, Li Si is also a person with mixed reputations.He is talented and has made outstanding achievements; but he has always believed in the "mouse" way of life, seeking profit and avoiding disaster, indulging in fame and fortune and cannot extricate himself.So that in order to ensure his own power and status, he conspired with Zhao Gao to tamper with the first emperor's last edict, causing the Great Qin Empire to be destroyed once, and the country perished after only two generations.

Therefore, many old Qin people hated Zhao Gao, the traitor, and even hated Li Si, Zhao Gao's accomplice.

However, 400 years have passed, and the Great Qin Empire has long been wiped out in the dust of history. The 400-year-old Han Dynasty was established on the ruins of Great Qin.

Now that the dynasties have changed, the Han Dynasty, which has gone through the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, is getting old, and the princes of the world are resurgent, and the battle between the heroes is about to begin.

"My lord, do you really think that the ancestor can afford the praise you just gave?"

Li Li's words of praise stunned Li Xuan instantly.After a while, he woke up and asked in surprise.

Withdrawing his mind, Li Li said with a smile: "Of course it is the truth! Although the ancestor Li Si became an accomplice of Zhao Gao's usurpation in the end, his flaws are not hidden. His meritorious deeds will be remembered by history, and he is still a talented generation. .

There is nothing wrong with pursuing fame and fortune, as long as you are an individual, you will like these things, and I, Li Li, are no exception.However, when it comes to fame and wealth, they are actually things outside the body. If you are too enthusiastic about this way, you will inevitably fall into the inferior vehicle. In the end, a mistake will become eternal hatred, and your reputation will be ruined once. The gain is not worth the loss!

Yuan Zhong, merits and demerits will be judged by future generations.You don't have to be bothered by the bleak ending of Ling Zu, he has already received the punishment he deserved and suffered the scourge of extermination.As a descendant of Tong Yougong, it is not easy for you to keep your bloodline. You don't need to worry about the merits and demerits of your ancestors, you just need to learn from the past and live your life frankly. "

Li Xuan's words moved Li Xuan very much and made him his confidant.

Seeing that Li Xuan was so moved, Li Li smiled knowingly, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Yuan Zhong, since you are a descendant of the pre-Qin Gongqing, then the identities of the Teng brothers and Meng Chong must also be the descendants of the pre-Qin Zhongliang." gone?"

Li Xuan turned his head and rubbed his eyes, then turned around and replied: "That's right, just as the lord said. The Teng brothers are the descendants of the Great Qin Zhongliang, and Meng Chong is the descendant of the Meng family, and the entire Taohua Village is descended from the pre-Qin. Originally there were only a few people, but after hundreds of years of reproduction, there are now 38 families with nearly [-] old and young people."

Li Li made an excuse and said: "This is still the number of your isolated population. Otherwise, if you count down from a few hundred, you can at least grow to a few hundred households with a population of thousands of people."

While speaking, Li Li suddenly paused, and laughed loudly: "Now I feel at ease in my heart. Since the people of Taohua Village are loyal and good, they can be completely trusted! Hahaha!"

"Thank you, lord, for your appreciation! It's hard for my subordinates to repay the kindness of the lord. In the future, the lord has an order, and the subordinates will go all out to serve the lord!" Li Xuan bowed down and bowed sincerely.

Chapter 77 Encounter Unexpectedly (Favorites, Recommendations)

"Report!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, just as Li Li and Li Xuan raised their cups to drink, a high-pitched scout's urgent call came into the big tent.

Suddenly, Li Li's mind was shocked, his face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

"call!"

As the big tent was opened, a gust of dust came with the wind.

The dusty scouts hurried into the big tent, knelt down and said: "My lord, there are a large number of suspicious-looking alien light cavalry around the wasteland. To the east are more than a thousand Southern Xiongnu light cavalry, to the west are three thousand Qiang cavalry, and to the north are five or six horsemen." Hundreds of Hun cavalry from the north, and [-] Qing cavalry from the south are unknown, they should be Han Qing cavalry coming from the direction of Guzang City. These four cavalry appeared very suddenly, as if they came over the mountains, and they did not lie in ambush around the wilderness early in the morning. General Li Zheng believes that these groups of light cavalry are not coming towards our army, but have other plans, but our scouts have not yet ascertained their true intentions."

"Oh? The four Qingqi came from the east, south, west, and north respectively. There are nearly [-] Qingqi in total. They don't sleep in the middle of the night. What are they doing in Xiutu Wasteland? Yuan Zhong, what do you think of this matter?" Li Li slightly said in amazement.

Li Xuan thought about it for a moment, his solemn expression gradually relaxed, and a calm smile appeared on his face.

"My lord, this subordinate may be able to guess the intention of these light cavalry coming to Xiutu Wasteland."

Li Li was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked: "Huh? Yuan Zhong knows the purpose of these four Qingqi with different identities coming to the wasteland late at night? Tell me, why are they here?"

Li Xuan said leisurely: "My lord, judging from the situation reported by the scouts, Captain Li Zheng's deduction should be correct. Li Zheng followed General Li Jue to fight for many years. He knows it well. Therefore, he should not be wrong in his judgment on the origin of the four light cavalry. That is, the four light cavalry are not targeting our army, but have other plans.

From this point of view, my subordinates suddenly remembered that the Teng brothers had told me last year that a group of wild horses often appeared in this area at the junction of the northernmost mountain forest of Xiutu and the homeland of the Northern Huns in Xidun.This herd of wild horses stopped briefly near my Taohua Village twice, and was discovered by the guards led by the Teng brothers, and they chased them for hundreds of miles, until they stopped at the Xiutu Wasteland.

Although the subordinates were curious about this matter at the time, they did not take it to heart.However, combined with the situation detected by the scouts and Captain Li Zheng's inference, the subordinates are [-]% sure that they are here to capture the wild horses, and they may have been eyeing the wild horses long ago, but they have not been able to succeed for a long time. That's all.

The subordinate suggested that the lord should extinguish all the fires in the camp immediately, and spread crossbowmen and antlers around the camp. As long as they do not approach the camp, our army will stay still, so as not to overwhelm the enemy and increase casualties. "

Li Li thought for a while, and then said loudly: "Come on, order the whole army to extinguish all the lights. After a quarter of an hour, there will be no more lights in the camp. Order Teng Yu, Teng Xiao and Fan Yong to lead the whole army. A total of [-] iron cavalry guards around the camp, laying down antlers and traps, and guarding day and night!"

"No, this subordinate takes orders!" Amidst the promise, Dian Wei's figure suddenly appeared from the shadow of the screen behind Li Li, and strode out of the big tent to convey Li Li's military orders.

Seeing Dian Wei's sudden appearance, Li Xuan trembled for no reason, and his awe of Li Li in his heart deepened a lot.

After Li Li gave the order, he noticed that Li Xuan was staring at Dian Wei's leaving figure in a daze, with a strange expression on his face; suddenly, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As Li Li is the master, it is essential for Li Xuan to maintain some respect for himself at all times.

"Yuan Zhong, come on, while there is still light, let's drink two more glasses of fine wine, and after drinking, go back and sleep peacefully.

The Xiutu Wasteland has a radius of hundreds of miles and a vast area, and our army happened to be camped in a low-lying valley in the middle of the wasteland. It was night at this time, and it was not easy for foreign cavalry to spot our army.Even if there is a war, the generals in the army will lead the troops to defend against the enemy.You are a scribe, and things like charging into battle are not your specialty, so you can rest assured!Hehehe! "

"Yes, thank you for your concern, my lord, I respect you, please!" Li Xuan held up the small lamp and said respectfully.

"Okay, let's drink this cup together!" Li Li drank it down with a smile.
