Chapter 476: Another one
Li Zhi looked at the Guest of the Toutai and was a little surprised: "Are you so confident in defeating Luo Yishui?"
Li Zhi asked this because from the previous conversation between the Toutai Ke, he already knew that Qin Feng had a connection with this person, and the target was naturally Luo Yishui. But it was obvious that Toutai Ke wanted Qin Feng and used a knife to kill Qin Feng's Taiping Army. This knife was naturally himself, and the price he paid was Yongping County.
"Luo Yishui is already a grasshopper after autumn. Since he has not taken down Zhongping County and has no foundation to gain a foothold, for me, he is not troubled. An army of nearly 100,000 people without logistics supplies, you know better than me what the outcome will be." The Guest Gun sneered.
"So, you have to take the opportunity to abandon Qin Feng!"
"Of course, Luo Yishui is just a wild dog that traps beasts and fights, and Qin Feng is the hungry wolf who chooses people to eat. I can see this clearly. Compared to Luo Yishui, this person makes me more alert!" said the guest of the straw hat.
Li Zhi knocked ashes on his feet and said thoughtfully: "But how can I believe your sincerity? Will you give it to me so freely in Yongping County?"
"It's not for nothing, it's your reward after killing Qin Feng. For me, if Qin Feng is destroyed, I will be able to take back Shayang and Changyang, and even get the Taiping City that Qin Feng has worked hard to manage. You must know that these places, the flag of my Dayue is nominally hung, but are actually not controlled by the court at all, so in the end, I didn't suffer much loss." said the guest of the straw hat.
Li Zhi nodded, "Indeed, you still make a profit, because in this way, you will truly be united with Qi. With Qi as the backer, you can come to me to settle the accounts and find a way to take back what you gave me."
The Guest of the Toutai smiled and said, "That's what happened in the future. It depends on which of us is better. Maybe I will lose this land forever, and maybe you have to return it."
"It will take several years for you to get through this, right?" Li Zhi laughed: "The Yue Kingdom is full of holes and is worse than my Daqin."
"Yes, I need time, and you also need time. Wherever time stands, let God decide. What do you think?" said the Guest Guest.
Li Zhi lowered his head, reached out to pick the black soil, and after a while, he picked out a few pieces of white and tender grass roots from the ground, handed one to the hat customer, took one, wiped it on the coarse cloth clothes, stuffed it directly into his mouth and started chewing it.
Seeing this scene, the guest of the straw hat frowned.
"It's very sweet. Even if you are the emperor, you probably haven't eaten this thing. I often eat it." Li Zhi held half of the grass roots and shook in front of the guest of the straw hat.
The guest of the straw hat frowned and looked at the grass roots in his hand for a while, and finally stuffed them into his mouth and started chewing them, but looking at him like he was taking medicine.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Li Zhi smiled: "Okay, the deal is done, but the Taiping Army is not the leader. Their leader Qin Feng has many confrontations with us on the western border of Chu State and rarely lose. His suicide camp is famous among our border troops."
"Can you still be afraid of such a little baby who is still stinky and has not dried up?"
"I may not be afraid. I just don't want to pay too much." Li Zhi stuffed all the remaining grass roots into his mouth, chewed them down, and stood up, "That's all. I'll deal with that boy Qin Feng, I hope you can clean up Luo Yishui."
"Luo Yishui, now he is almost a dead person." The Guest Guest stood up and looked at Li Zhi, "Your injury has not healed yet? The injuries Zuo Lixing brought to you seem to be really serious."
"Killing a master always comes at a price." Li Zhi smiled, "But I don't care."
The guest of the straw hat stopped talking and turned around and walked towards the distance. It seemed that he had just taken a few steps, and in Li Zhi's eyes, there was only a slightly psychedelic back.
"The Kingdom of Yue is really not good." Li Zhi sighed and shook his head, "It's a pity that our Daqin only dares to eat some corners and corners, and dare not swallow them. It's really annoyed."
Carrying the cigarette pier, he looked a little discouraged and walked towards the county town with kicks and steps.
When he walked to the city gate, he stopped again, his expression on his face was a little strange, because he saw another acquaintance. When he saw that person, the person who was chatting enthusiastically with the captain guarding the city gate also turned around, looked at him, and then laughed.
Li Zhi shook his head: "Today is really lively. An old acquaintance just left, and another one came. Have you made an appointment?"
The man laughed and walked towards Li Zhi: "I can run as fast as I can when I see the backs of the two from afar. If the person finds out that I am here, he will definitely kill me. I am not his opponent, and Li Dashui may not save me."
He laughed loudly, clasped his fists with his hands, bowed to Li Zhi: "Chun Cheng Wuben, I have met Marishal Li."
"It's free!" Li Zhi shook his hand, "Since he's here, why don't he go into the city? What are you talking about outside?" He turned to look at the gate-guard. The captain was stunned at this time. He never thought that the person who said he wanted to go into the city to meet General Deng Zhong was the famous Chu State's iron wall Cheng Wuben, and he didn't expect that he would actually meet Li Zhi and Li here.
For them, Li Zhi was a godlike being. The dragon was not seen at the head, so basically they had no chance to see this person.
"I, I..." He stuttered and couldn't speak.
"Just chatting about family matters." Cheng Wuben smiled, "This lieutenant sent someone to report to General Deng. I was idle here, so I just chatted with him about family matters. Marshal Li would not blame him, I did not spy on military information."
Li Zhi smiled, "You Cheng Wuben is not so bored. Let's go. Since you are here, let's go in and talk."
"It seems that I am treated better than that person." Cheng Wuben said with a smile. "I am worried that Li Shuai will turn me out."
"Everyone comes to customers." Li Zhi shook his cigarette pipe, "I've come to me to discuss business. I'll compare the stores. I have to see who has a higher bid, right?"
"Li Shuai is a sensible person." Cheng Wuben laughed: "What price can a broken Yue Kingdom afford?"
"This dilapidated Yue Kingdom, your current master is staring at me!" Li Zhi beat him up.
The two walked inward shoulder to shoulder, but saw Deng Su bumping towards him. When they saw them, they grinned and smiled: "Dad asked me to welcome Cheng Shuai, and even asked me to find Li Dashuai. I didn't expect that the two of them had already met."
Li Zhi bluntly took the tobacco pipe and knocked Deng Su, "Run back and tell your father, prepare wine, let's have a few drinks with the guests."
"Okay!" Deng Su was knocked, but he was still running back happily.
"It's a great honor to have another drink with Li Shuai!" Cheng Wuben said with emotion: "The last time I drank with Li Shuai seemed to be thirty years ago."
"I didn't expect you to remember."
"Of course I remember that I was just a general in Da Chu at that time. Well, there was Deng Zhong that time, plus Luo Kuan from Yue, the Three Kingdoms coalition forces against Qi. Even now, I still remember that battle. It was that battle that confirmed the true four-nation power for the past 30 years. At that time, Li Shuai was determined on the battlefield and the last moment of fighting alone in Cao Chong, which made us younger generations unforgettable forever!" Cheng Wuben said seriously.
When talking about the battle thirty years ago, Li Zhi also had a little excited eyes. That battle was also a battle he became famous. He was the general of Qin and the commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms coalition. It was that battle that defeated Qi, which was then arrogant, and finally stabilized. It also allowed the peace in the world to last for thirty years.
"Deng Zhong is still the pillar of my Qin State, but you are far away from the core of power of Chu State, and Luo Kuan has become the unjust deceased Luo! You three of you were all famous rising stars in various countries back then!" Li Zhishen said with emotion.
"Yes, the three countries worked together back then, but to this day, they can no longer return to the past." Cheng Wuben nodded.
"Each person is his own master, and his own position, that's all!" Li Zhi waved his hand, "There is no need to be sad about spring and autumn. You Cheng Wuben should not use this to confuse me. Although I am old, my mind is still very clear. It's not time to be confused yet."
Cheng Wuben laughed.
While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the General's Mansion. Deng Zhong had already been waiting in front of the door. When they saw Cheng Wuben, they both smiled and stretched out their big hands and shook them heavily.
Although Qin and Chu often have evil relationships, their personal relationships have always been good. This is due to the war thirty years ago, when the two rely on each other and rescue each other, they have formed deep friendships in the war that lasted for several years. However, as the two men's status grew, they could not meet.
"Brother Cheng is a distinguished guest. The banquet is ready. I have to drink it well today. If you are still the Iron Bibli of Chu, you really can't drink this wine." Deng Zhong said with a smile.
"Whether this wine is good or not depends on what Cheng Wuben brought!" Li Zhi smiled and said, "Otherwise, either he can't drink well or we can't drink well."
"Drink first, then talk about business." Deng Zhong smiled. "Don't rush for a moment."
"Deng Zhong, do you know who I just met outside?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.
Before Deng Zhong asked, Cheng Wu had already said, "Brother Deng must not guess. That is Wu Jian, the emperor of Yue. I originally wanted to go to see Li Shuai. When I saw this emperor, I could only escape and come here to ask Brother Deng for protection."
Deng Zhong stared at the two of them with wide eyes for a while, with smiles all over the corners of his eyebrows, "This is such a coincidence, it is such a coincidence."
