Kai Fu Han

Chapter 148 Heroes Twilight
It can be seen that Luo Cheng attaches great importance to Sun Li.

The ancients valued individual talents very much, and later generations paid more attention to collective strength, so Liu Xinqi did not attach as much importance to Sun Li as Luo Cheng did.

And now that Liu Xinqi is the leader of the Xinghan League, he is in the top spot, so it is inconvenient to recognize more elders.

"That's fine." Sun Li agreed.

"Isn't it convenient to talk about the question just now?" Liu Xinqi continued the topic.

"This matter is a long story." Luo Cheng replied for Sun Li.

original,

Sun Li was already a Tongzhi in Dengzhou before he defected to Liangshan, and there was only one Tongzhi in Dengzhou before. Apart from the Zhizhou, Sun Li was the biggest.

Following the trick of his sister-in-law Gu, he was robbed in prison and rescued his two cousins ​​Xie Zhen and Jie Bao brothers. He had no choice but to take his wife, Lehe, brother, sister-in-law, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao brothers and others to flee to Liangshanbo.

Then he went through the undercover Zhujiazhuang's meritorious service and the title of surrender, Liangshan Dajuyi was marginalized, and he was successfully recruited, and the three battles of conquering Liao, conquering Tianhu, and conquering Fangla repeatedly made great achievements, and finally was granted the title of Wu Yilang by the court. , Still returned to Dengzhou to be a fellow intellectual.

However, after returning, there was already a fellow intellectual in Dengzhou, and Sun Li was marginalized again.

The former magistrate of Dengzhou, Guo Chengyan, was disgusted by his experience as a bandit. He became a bandit who suppressed bandits. He was looked down upon by the "scholar" Guo Chengyan, and not a single thing in charge was arranged for him.

After Sun Li had been an idler for several months, he felt bored and left.He used to be a bandit in Liangshan, but he had some savings from the three subsequent expeditions. In the past few years, he has been living freely in Zhuangzi outside the city.

Today when he went into the city to do some shopping, he was caught by Luo Cheng, who pulled him away and wanted him to join the Xinghan League and work for the Xinghan League.

"I'm already in my 40s, almost [-], and I can't stand the trouble anymore. It's better for me to continue to live a comfortable life as a commoner."

After Luo Cheng explained to Liu Xinqi about Sun Li's deeds and the reason for the arguing on the street today, Sun Li refused again.

"You are in your prime, and it would be a pity to waste all your martial arts skills and strategies on your mind." Luo Cheng said regretfully.

In "Water Margin", although Sun Li ranked among the earthly evil spirits, he did not enter the 36 Tiangang.But he is indeed very skilled in martial arts and has excellent military strategies.

During the Liangshan Army's northern expedition to Daliao, Sun Li and Daliao's fierce general Kou Zhenyuan were singled out. They used the unique skill of hanging on horseback and cut off half of Kou Zhenyuan's head with an iron whip.

Later, when Fangla was conquered, half of Liangshan's heroes died, and two of the five tiger generals were killed, but Sun Li was unharmed.

Looking at the entire hundred and eight generals, there are only a few such as Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, and Hua Rong who have such incredible performance.

There may be other reasons for the low ranking.

It may be because Sun Li was powerful and Song Jiang was afraid of him.As the leader of the Liangshan Dengzhou faction, Sun Li is backed by Sun Xin, Gu Dasao, Lehe, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Zou Yuan, and Zou Run.The power of the Jiangzhou Clan is second only to the Song Jiang Clan, and they possess high-end military force that the Jiangzhou Clan does not possess.

It is also possible that Sun Li's motive for going up the mountain was not pure enough. Sun Li was originally in charge of the military affairs of Dengzhou, and he had a big official position. If it were not for the purpose of rescuing Zhen and unblocking the treasure, he would not have joined the bandits.Even if you go to Liangshan, the ultimate goal is to kill people, set fires, be recruited, and return to the official position again.

"I am indeed tired. I have been running around for most of my life, but in the end my official position was restored, and I no longer have real power. Moreover, I have become accustomed to the free life in recent years, and I can no longer be restrained."

Sun Li explained, saying this, and thanked Liu Xinqi:

"Thanks to the Xinghan League, the land tax has been reduced to only [-]%, which makes the life of a local like me much easier."

"That's ridiculous." Liu Xinqi said politely, not believing what he said. Even if Sun Li stopped being an official, his family would not be poor. He must be a landlord or gentry. Compared with the working people, the "Xinghan League Land Law" It doesn't do much good.Luo Cheng also demolished the situation and said:
"Nonsense, I heard someone say that your hundreds of acres of land are cultivated by tenants. You can't farm even once a year, so what kind of farmer are you?"

"Hahahaha..." Sun Li laughed to cover up his embarrassment.

At this time, the food and wine were on the table, the four of them began to eat, and the three men toasted each other.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere became lively.

"I understand you. You are tired of it and don't want to get involved in these gossipy things anymore." Luo Cheng said under the influence of wine: "But I think you should have understood Xinghan League after observing it for so long. The Han League does practical things and really does things for the working people, which is different from the imperial court and Liang Shanbo."

Because he drank some wine, Sun Li also let go.

"What's the difference? It's not all about conquests or rebellion. How powerful was Liang Shanbo back then? How about now? There are not many left alive. The Xinghan League is only a little smaller now."

Then he made a small distance with two fingers and continued.

"There is still a long road ahead, who can say for sure."

Liu Xinqi only listened and responded to all the discussions and disputes between the two before, without participating deeply. Now Sun Li compared the Xinghan League and Liang Shanbo, and Liu Xinqi was unwilling.

"The biggest difference between our Xinghan League and Liang Shanbo is that Liang Shanbo rebelled to seek peace, while the Xinghan League did it for the benefit of the common people, for their stable lives, and for the rise of the Han nation."

"Liang Shanbo did it for the selfish interests of a small group of leaders, and everyone else was cannon fodder. The Xinghan League was for the public benefit of everyone, and everyone is a hero."

Liu Xinqi implied in his words that Sun Li was also one of the small group of leaders. In order to be recruited, a large number of cannon fodder were thrown into Liangshan to sacrifice their lives.

Sun Li's face was ugly when he was told, he picked up the wine bowl and drank a big bowl by himself.

With a "bang" sound, he put the wine bowl back on the table hard after drinking.

"You are right, I am a selfish person. I watched so many brothers who went through life and death, dying in front of me one after another, just for the weak government. I regret it, but what can I do? No one can save it.”

After saying this, Sun Li poured himself another large bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp. He drank too fast and choked. He coughed violently and even cried out tears.

I don’t know if part of the tears were because of the sad things.

At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and a man and a woman walked in.

"Brother is not a selfish person. He has fallen to this level just because of us."

The man walking in front said, "The meaning behind the words is that this should be Xiao Yuchi Sunxin."

"It's you kid, do you still have gambling in your hotel?"

Luo Cheng asked Sun Xinxiao.

After his brother Sun Li resigned, Sun Xin also resigned and opened a hotel in Shilipai outside the east gate of Penglai County, where he killed cattle for gambling.
