Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 607 Thank You General
Li Qinzai really let Pei Xingjian's pigeon go.

At the beginning, an agreement was made to attack East and West, with Qinghai Lake as the end point, and the two armies attacked Ludongzan together.Then Lu Dongzan encircled Shanzhou, and Li Qinzai had to temporarily change his tactics and lead his army to break the siege of Shanzhou, so he left Pei Xingjian's [-] Anxi army to the west of Qinghai Lake.

In the end, Pei Xingjian changed his tactics on his own and led [-] Anxi troops to outflank Qinghai Lake to the west of Jishi Mountain, and cooperated with Zheng Rentai's six-state frontier troops to form a strategic encirclement of the Tubo army and drive the Tubo army from the north of Tuyuhun to the south.

Li Qinzai has always walked the world with integrity, so the matter of releasing pigeons is somewhat unethical, especially when it comes to matters related to the survival of the military and the country, the pigeons are released a bit fiercely.

So when Li Qinzai saw Pei Xingjian, his expression was very guilty.

Things can be big or small, if Pei Xingjian is a little less tolerant, it's time to cut Li Qinzai with a knife at this moment.

The main reason is that Pei Xingjian was a little caught off guard, otherwise Li Qinzai would have erected a stone at the gate of the governor's mansion in advance, following the example of the Wudang Mountain's Unleashing Sword Stone, and all personnel entering and leaving the governor's mansion here will untie their swords and are not allowed to bring weapons into the mansion, because Wu Shaolang is too fond of There is peace.

"My subordinate, Li Qinzai, pay my respects to Pei Duhu."

In the middle courtyard of the governor's mansion, Li Qinzai bowed to Pei Xingjian.

Celebrities in history must leave a good impression. Although the pigeons were released, if Pei Xingjian did not suggest, Li Qinzai would be willing to cook pigeon soup for him.

Pei Xingjian has a very easy-going personality, and he didn't show an angry expression when meeting him, but instead smiled, which made Li Qinzai feel a little relieved.

"As expected of a general, Duke Ying has successors, haha." Pei Xingjian laughed loudly.

Zheng Rentai smiled bluntly at the side: "This son's military methods are also very similar to those of the hero. He never confronts the enemy in a decisive battle, but turns to guerrilla warfare. It is like cutting flesh with a blunt knife. Cutting a piece today and cutting a piece tomorrow, the enemy wants to die I can’t die anymore, I’m in so much pain.”

Li Qinzai hastily saluted Zheng Rentai: "Thank you, Grandpa Zheng, for lending me five thousand frontier troops. Without these five thousand elite soldiers, I'm afraid my life would be lost."

Li Qinzai's expression suddenly fell, and he sighed: "I hate the boy for not being able to protect the five thousand frontier troops. After the first battle, almost [-]% of them were lost. There are only a few hundred people left. I'm sorry for Grandpa Zheng."

Zheng Rentai also sighed, and said: "No wonder you, no one thought that Lu Dongzan's soldiers surrounded Shanzhou and laid a net to wipe out your troops. It's not easy for you to survive in the encirclement. gone."

Pei Xingjian patted him on the shoulder and said: "We made an appointment to join forces at Qinghai Lake, but when my Anxi army arrived at Qinghai Lake, it was found to be empty, and was discovered by Tubo scouts. They fought two tough battles. Furious."

"But it was not easy to find out about you later on. People are not as good as heaven, and soldiers are as powerful as water. They are impermanent. Our three parties, whether it is me, General Zheng, or General Su, have the hardest support. The most dangerous fight and the most casualties are only you, the young man is not bad, you didn't embarrass your grandfather."

Li Qinzai bowed and said, "Thank you Pei Duhu for your understanding."

Pei Xingjian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your nephew has made great achievements, and Chang'an will soon have an order to call you back to Beijing. Before you leave, General Zheng and I will come to Liangzhou to meet you and see the young hero. Demeanor, by the way...um."

Zheng Rentai smiled and said: "I heard that you are a good talker. Chang'an City is famous far and wide, and even His Majesty is full of praise for your craftsmanship. Today, the old man and Pei Duhu came to have a tooth sacrifice. When you return to Chang'an , but it’s not such a blessing.”

Li Qinzai suddenly understood.

The two were arguing and understanding, and finally changed the subject, and it turned out that they wanted to eat one bite at a time.

Are the generals who lead the army so complicated?Why can't I put a knife on my neck calmly and order me to cook a meal, dare I not do it?
"Get ready, kid." Li Qinzai said with a smile on his face.

Wu Shaolang lived a delicate life. When he was working as a salted fish in Ganjingzhuang, he had nothing to do every day, thinking about the recipes most of the time.

How to prepare a table of good dishes with all kinds of flavors and flavors in this era of poor seasoning and products? To say it modestly, Li Qinzai is qualified to write a paper, and he is better than mathematics and physics.

An hour later, a table full of dishes was served, including delicious stewed lamb in casserole, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, stewed beef brisket in thick sauce, stir-fried wild boar, and a plate of stir-fried spinach, which is extremely precious in winter.

The two generals were obviously not vegetarians, and they were full of praise for the beef and mutton, but they didn't touch the precious spinach. It seems that the picture is very inconsistent.

Five-year-olds know the importance of eating green vegetables, but the two generals scoffed. If they go for a physical examination, they will definitely find that their triglycerides have exceeded the standard by many times, waiting for high blood pressure or stroke.

"Not bad, my nephew's craftsmanship is really well-deserved. Today's feast is worthy of me, and I have traveled a hundred miles from Qinghai Lake." Pei Xingjian laughed, taking a sip of wine from his glass.

Zheng Rentai also smiled and said: "It's obvious that you have a lot of skills, but you can still make such delicious dishes. It's unfair to leave all the good things to you. If there are no accidents, the British government can still prosper for a hundred years."

Pei Xingjian shook his head: "Jing Chu is not the eldest grandson of the Duke of England, and the title of Duke of England is not up to him, but after Jing Chu returns to Chang'an, His Majesty will definitely have a reward. Fucheng, it is not a matter of two families flourishing for a hundred years."

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "You two may not believe it, but I have no ambitions for being an official. What I did in the Northwest was just doing my duty as a courtier. After I return to Chang'an, I will still be my Zhuangzi. Salted fish hanging from the eaves."

Zheng Rentai's face darkened: "You are worthless, believe it or not, this old man will beat you up on behalf of your grandfather? He obviously has the ability to give it to the emperor's family, to share the worries of the emperor, to benefit the people, and to make meritorious deeds for himself. That’s the ambition a man should have.”

Li Qinzai blinked his big innocent eyes: "It's not bad to be a salted fish. Grandpa Zheng will be hungry one day, so he can serve the boy with wine..."

Zheng Rentai and Pei Xingjian laughed.

The two looked at each other, then got up at the same time in a tacit understanding, and bowed to Li Qinzai together.

Li Qinzai was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot, and hastily held their arms: "Why are the two elders like this? It's so frustrating to the younger generation!"

Zheng Rentai said solemnly: "The two of us are here today to appreciate Jing Chu who sacrificed his life for the country, pacified the Northwest, and brought Tuyuhun into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. , Liuzhou is no longer a border town of the Tang Dynasty, and has been pushed forward for more than a thousand miles..."

"The work of this merit can highlight the sun and the moon, and it can honor history. Both Pei Duhu and the old man have received Jing Chu's kindness. Today, I am here to thank you."
