Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 481 The New Look of the Grassland 1
After Li Ru came back from Gongsun Xu's camp, Hua Xiong didn't say much. After Hua Xiong led him back to his camp, he asked, "Sir, what's the situation? What did the lord say? If the situation is not good, we Then go to Mr. Wen He to discuss it."

Li Ru raised his head to look at Hua Xiong, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, forget it, alas, I did too many bad things in the past, this is retribution, Hua Xiong, you are so lucky to be with the general, all I am afraid that the generals of the Xiliang Army will never find someone luckier than you, so you should cherish it."

"Of course I know about this." Hua Xiong said: "My lord is going to send me to deal with the situation in Chang'an. I'm already contacting some old acquaintances and old troops in the army. If things go well, I'm afraid I will soon was transferred away."

"This is a good thing." Li Ru nodded and said: "You still have prestige in the Xiliang Army. Although there are still a few people who hold the military power of the Xiliang Army, what they are doing now is self-defeating. grave.

I think there will be many soldiers in Chang'an who can't stand this situation. It would be great if you can recruit them to surrender.This can be regarded as an atonement for the grand master. Alas, this time I came to Hetao just to try my luck. I don’t know when I will meet again after I leave in a few days. Hua Xiong, I don’t have many old friends anymore. You take good care of it. "

"Thank you, sir, for your concern, Hua Xiong." Hua Xiong bowed his hands and said, "Mr. took good care of Hua Xiong when he was in Xiliang. Hua Xiong's achievements and status today are all due to his care. Without Mr. Hua Xiong died in the army that year, and Hua Xiong will never forget your kindness."

"Hehe, it's all happened in the past, so why mention him?" Li Ru said with a smile: "Let's go back to have a few drinks at night, I guess Wenhe will come over later, the three of us can be regarded as meeting old friends in a foreign land Alright, let's have a good chat tonight."

"Hahaha, okay, I can't ask for it." Hua Xiong said cheerfully, "I, Hua Xiong, am a rough person. It is really a great blessing in life to be able to sit with the two gentlemen."

After speaking, Hua Xiong hurriedly led Li Ru to his big tent, and then hurriedly sent people to prepare the food and drinks.Hua Xiong has spent these years in the grasslands of eastern Xianbei. Counting from the time when he left Xiliang with Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong has not returned to Xiliang for many years.

If it is counted from when Hua Xiong left home earlier, he has not been back to his hometown for more than ten years. I am afraid that few people can understand the sadness of this kind of wanderer.Although Hua Xiong took these things lightly, but now that he finally met Li Ru, an old friend, he would definitely get drunk with him.

Not long after, Jia Xu came uninvited, and Hua Xiong took Jia Xu to drink and chat without saying a word, ignoring Jia Xu's ridicule.However, since Jia Xu came in, he looked at Li Ru from time to time, as if trying to find something on Li Ru's face.

Hua Xiong is an upright man, and he is so happy now, so he has no restraint when drinking, and within half an hour this guy was drunk.On the other hand, Li Ru and Jia Xu, they ate more food and less time drinking, so they are very sober up to now.

After Hua Xiong was helped down to rest by the soldiers, Jia Xu and Li Ru were left in the tent.The two just ate food, no longer drank, and even chatted less.Jia Xu was originally a man of few words, so in this case he just mentioned some past events.

After another half an hour like this, Jia Xu finally put down his chopsticks and sighed.Li Ru didn't say anything, and he also put down his chopsticks.

In the end, Li Ru sighed and said, "Wenhe, for the sake of our friendship for many years, please do me a favor."

"Tell me." Jia Xu replied calmly, "This favor depends on whether the lord is willing to let me help."

"My two sons are still young, so I'm a little bit worried if they stay in northern Xinjiang." Li Ru said, "I'm getting old, these two children are the incense of my Li family, I hope you can help me take care of them.

If possible, I hope you can teach them personally, I don't want them to become reckless in the future.Better, if not wise, than those without brains.Try to keep them out of those struggles if you can. "

"Is the son a pledge?" Jia Xu said: "Don't worry, my lord will not treat these two children badly. I will let them practice literature and martial arts with my children. The incense of your Li family will not be cut off just like that." .”

"In this way, there will be no more worries in life." Li Ru picked up the wine glass and said to Jia Xu: "Come on, old friend, let's have a drink. I don't know when the next time we drink this wine. I hope we can still be so calm at that time." Chat together."

"Today,,,,,," Jia Xu said after finishing his drink, "What did I talk to my lord about?"

Jia Xu seemed a little hesitant, as if this question should not be asked, but he still finished speaking.

"Hehe, I have said what should be said, and I can't say what should not be said." Li Ru smiled and said: "My lord's thoughts, you understand better than me, I may stay in the grassland from now on, maybe You have to go farther to the west or north."

"I understand, that's how it is, that's how it is." Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's fine, you still made this choice after all. Wen You, I believe you won't regret it.

However, your performance today makes me a little curious, hehe, you did say those words to the lord on purpose, right?If you really want to die, why do you come to Hetao? You have tens of thousands of people in your hands, and you can migrate westward to the Western Regions. "

Li Ru's face changed slightly after hearing this, but he still replied calmly: "I have thought about this too, but I still want to come to Hetao to try my luck."

"Don't be nervous, even if I don't say these things, the lord knows." Jia Xu said, "I just want to tell you that in many cases, the lord already knows everything, but he didn't say it.

You know how much of what you said today is true and how much is false, you know it, I know it, and the Lord knows it too.The lord's mind is not something you can guess, so don't take such risks in the future, the lord doesn't like others to speculate on his mind.

Moreover, the protagonist's thoughts are not so easy to guess, and you will understand later.In fact, the lord didn't intend to kill you from the very beginning, but your performance today did not disappoint the lord. I don't know what will happen in the future, so please do it yourself.

I'm leaving first, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow, you should stay here for a few more days, remember to tell me before you leave, I'll see you off, time flies so fast, think about those years, You and I are both so defiant, heh,,,,,, "

Jia Xu got up and left, leaving Li Ru sitting there alone in a daze. No one knew that Li Ru's palms were sweating. He thought that today's affairs were under his control, but he didn't want to know what he said and did. It was controlled by someone.

Since he satisfactorily resolved the affairs of his tribe, Li Ru is now physically and mentally relaxed.The big stone that weighed on his heart was finally unloaded, and then he will be busy selling all his belongings in Hetao, and then buy a lot of daily necessities to go back.

Dong Fei, who was hundreds of miles away, was also called by Li Ru. Since he had agreed to let Dong Fei stay here in Hetao, Li Ru naturally couldn't delay any longer. Otherwise, if Gongsun continued to ask questions, what would happen? Not necessarily good.

In the market on the east side of Hetao, there are almost everything in the Dahan area.Grain, tea, cloth, silk, etc., which are most lacking in the grassland, as long as they are commodities that should be available in the Dahan area, this East Market basically has them.

Especially for some specialties in northern Xinjiang, almost all of them are available in Dongshi.Li Ru stored all his cattle, sheep and horses in the West Market, which was the grassland tribe's market. Li Ru brought too many cattle, sheep and horses, so he couldn't sell them all at once.

"Military division, we have too many things to buy." Dong Fei followed and said: "Food, cloth, blankets, look, these civilian iron daily necessities produced in Beijiang are all high-quality goods. Also be sure to buy more.

The kettle for boiling water, the big iron pot, and these kitchen knives, Beijiang is really rich to the extreme. They are all made of such good iron materials, and the price is so reasonable. I really can’t find a second one in this world. Yes. "

"That's right, only I in Northern Xinjiang have the confidence." Hua Xiong laughed after listening to the side: "I'm not bragging, to be honest, these are nothing, do you know the difference between military use and civilian use?" , Hehe, the quality of military products is better, I’m afraid it’s hard for you to imagine.”

"Oh, it's no wonder that the northern border army is victorious in every battle. If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapons. This is the truth." Dong Fei nodded and said, "It would be great if we could buy a batch of armor and weapons this time and go back. Iron smelting technology is like that, and there are not many craftsmen who make weapons, and the consumption rate of our weapons far exceeds our production rate."

"What's the rush for these little things." Li Ru smiled and said, "Dong Fei, I brought you here to let you see that two years ago, this place was just a ruin, with only endless grass and occasional flocks of sheep.

The general used hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of refugees to build Hetao like this in two years. You have to study hard.There are countless strange people in the world, but the only one who can do this is the general. "

"The general will understand." Dong Fei clasped his hands and replied, "I think, in a few years, this place will be more prosperous."

"That's right, this is prosperity." Li Ru said with a sense of realization: "Luoyang was originally prosperous, but it was burned down by a fire, and Chang'an could have been prosperous, but it was destroyed by a group of rebels. Hetao has been just a grassland for thousands of years, but now it has become so prosperous.

Different people think differently, do it differently, and the final result will naturally be different.Alas, how many people can do this kind of vision, this kind of courage, looking at the world.All people of insight in the world have their eyes fixed on the Central Plains, but he is the only one who puts his energy beyond the Great Wall.

Nowadays, the general can attack when he advances, and defend when he retreats.He has been invincible for a long time, among all the heroes in the world, who can compete with him, hehe, there is no more. "

Hua Xiong and Dong Fei nodded in sympathy, and of course they understood what Li Ru meant.
